Chapter 9: Bamboo Mountain Veteran
The next morning, Li Tianzhen woke up and found herself lying in the main room. She slowly recalled what happened last night.
Although Liu Dakui is a fool, his son will always be his mother's heart. Therefore, Li Tianzhen has always cared for Liu Dakui's son since he was a child, and Liu Dakui is also very attached to Li Tianzhen.
In front of Li Tianzhen, Liu Dakui has always been very well-behaved. Therefore, if there was no problem with him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to attack Li Tianzhen.
The more she thought about it, the weirder Li Tianzhen felt about it, so she went back to her parents' house and told her mother, the Miemenma. The Miemenma said that she was old and couldn't handle the matter, so she asked Li Tianzhen to invite Zhushan.
Seasoned.
The reputation of Zhushan Old Taoist is not inferior to that of Miemenpo, but compared to Miemenpo, the reputation of Zhushan Old Taoist is slightly better in these ten miles and eight villages.
Although the old Taoist Zhushan also dealt with the so-called ghosts and gods, he only took money from people to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters for them. He had never done anything like destroying a whole family.
Li Tianzhen has always believed in her mother, the family slayer, in matters like this. Therefore, the family slayer asked Li Tianzhen to go find the old Taoist Zhushan, and Li Tianzhen went immediately.
As long as you can afford the money, it's easy to hire an old Taoist from Zhushan. Although Liu Renqing's family is not the richest in these ten miles and eight villages, they are still considered to be one of the few wealthy families. Therefore, it's a good idea to hire an old Taoist from Zhushan.
The Liu family will spend no effort on raising the money.
After Zhushan Taoist was invited to the Liu family, he first walked around the Liu family's mud-walled house. When he reached the woodshed, Zhushan Taoist stopped.
After stopping, the old Zhushan Taoist waved the yellowish whisk in his hand, and then asked Li Tianzhen to prepare some incense candles, paper money, white wine and bowls.
These things are necessary for religious rituals, so before Li Tianzhen went to ask Zhushan Master, she had prepared them. When she heard that Zhushan Master wanted to use them now, Li Tianzhen walked into the back room in three steps and two steps at a time.
, took all these things out to Zhushan Lao Tao.
After getting these things, Zhushan Taoist asked Li Tianzhen to get a big sweet potato, and asked her to flatten the bottom, saying that it would be used to put incense candles.
By the time Li Tianzhen brought the sweet potatoes, Master Zhushan had already lit a pair of candles.
Master Zhushan placed the big, flattened sweet potato at the door of the woodshed, and then respectfully inserted the pair of burning candles in his hands.
After putting in the candles, Master Zhushan recited a bunch of scriptures that were difficult to understand. After reciting, Master Zhushan lit three more sticks of incense.
After placing the incense, Master Zhushan asked Li Tianzhen to place the bowl in front of him, and poured half a bowl of white wine into the bowl. After pouring the wine, Master Zhushan took out a few pieces of paper money.
Zhushan Taoist took the paper money with his hand, lit it on the candle, and then put the paper money into the bowl of wine. As soon as the paper money was put into the bowl, the wine in the bowl ignited.
The light blue flames danced vaguely in the breeze.
After lighting the white wine in the bowl, Master Zhushan sat down cross-legged and began to recite the unintelligible scripture again. This time, Master Zhushan read for more than an hour. The white wine in the bowl was almost finished. Zhushan
The old Taoist mantra has not been finished reciting.
By the time Zhushan Taoist finished reciting the sutra, it was almost noon, because the sun had already reached the top of his head.
The old Taoist Zhushan looked up at the sun above his head, then dipped the yellowed whisk into the bowl where the wine was placed, soaked some wine, and then gently raised the whisk, and the wine on the whisk was spilled.
On the ground.
After spilling the wine, Taoist Zhushan sat down cross-legged again and recited scriptures in front of the messy and irregular wine drops on the ground.
Zhushan Taoist chanted for about two or three minutes, and the scattered wine drops on the ground slowly dried up, and finally only seven drops of wine were left. The seven drops of wine that were not dry formed a spoon like the Big Dipper.
Pattern. The handle of the spoon is facing the southeast direction.
After all, Li Tianzhen is the daughter of a family exterminator, so she can still understand a little bit of what the Taoist priests do.
The handle of the spoon was facing the southeast, which was the direction of the town. And Zhang Xiaolan's body was now in the town. Therefore, Li Tianzhen knew that Zhang Xiaolan was probably responsible for this incident.
Li Tianzhen became so angry when he thought that it was Zhang Xiaolan who was responsible. While Li Tianzhen was furious, the old Zhushan man spoke.
"The grievances are too heavy and difficult to deal with." Master Zhushan muttered as he was about to leave.
Zhushan Lao Dao has always been a money-grubber, and Li Tianzhen knew that he did this deliberately to get more money from Li Tianzhen.
The reason why Zhushan Lao Tao dared to play this way was because he knew very well that in these ten miles and eight villages, no one except him, Zhushan Lao Dao, could handle this matter.
Of course, Li Tianzhen knew the powerful relationship between this. Before inviting Zhushan Master to come, Li Tianzhen was already prepared to be slaughtered. In fact, in this case, Li Tianzhen had no other choice.
I can only obey the wishes of Zhushan Taoist.
"Please also ask Taoist Master Zhushan to help me." Li Tianzhen said, took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Taoist Master Zhushan's hand.
The amount of money Li Tianzhen stuffed was a full 100 yuan. That was in 1987, and 100 yuan at that time was very valuable. It could buy a lot of things. It was far different from the 100 yuan now. It was better to go to a restaurant for a meal.
Not even a little bit of food is enough.
In fact, Li Tianzhen had already given him a hundred yuan when he asked the old Taoist from Zhushan to come out. Adding the current one hundred yuan, it would be almost two hundred yuan. It can be seen that Li Tianzhen has really spent a lot of money now.
.
Although Li Tianzhen has accepted the fact that shedding money to avoid disaster, she still has some unhappiness on her face. After all, it is two hundred yuan! Ordinary people may not be able to save so much in a year!
Zhushan Lao Dao has been in the world for so many years, and Li Tianzhen's dissatisfaction certainly cannot escape his eyes. However, Zhushan Lao Tao will never do anything that is difficult to deal with money. Therefore, the money Li Tianzhen handed over,
He won't push it away.
In this life, although Master Zhushan is very greedy for money, no one has dared to show his face. Today, Li Tianzhen shows his face to him. No matter what, he will take a small revenge on Li Tianzhen.
Of course, Zhushan Lao Dao would not violate the Jianghu morals of using people's money to eliminate disasters, and he would not harm Li Tianzhen. After all, it was Li Tianzhen who paid for him. However, teasing Li Tianzhen does not violate Jianghu morals.
.
After receiving the money, Master Zhushan said with some embarrassment: "The resentment is too heavy. If I can't get rid of the resentment, there is nothing I can do."
"How should I resolve my grievances?" Li Tianzhen knew that the old Zhushan man had a solution and that he was deliberately trying to scare her, so he asked directly.
"I need your help." Old Taoist Zhushan raised his fly whisk and said seriously. However, under the serious surface of Old Taoist Zhushan, there was a heart that was snickering.
Master Zhushan has already said this, does Li Tianzhen still have a choice? "Master Zhushan, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never postpone it." Li Tianzhen replied helplessly, because she had already felt it.
The old Zhushan Taoist seemed to be trying to make things difficult for her.
"This matter is actually not difficult. The main thing is to see if you can let go of your arrogance." Zhushan Taoist raised his fly whisk and continued: "The resentment of Zhang Xiaolan was caused by you. Now her body is in the town in the southeast.
Here, you kowtow three times to the southeast as an apology to her. In this way, her resentment will weaken, and I will be able to calm her down."
Li Tianzhen would have treated Zhang Xiaolan well if she didn't flog her corpse. He also apologized to the stinky bitch who ruined the Liu family and kowtowed to her three times. Even if Li Tianzhen was too broad-minded about this kind of thing, it would be absolutely unacceptable.
unacceptable.
In fact, what Zhushan Taoist said just now was nonsense. He said it deliberately to tease Li Tianzhen. The more Li Tianzhen refused to give in, the more interesting Zhushan Taoist found it.
Now, Zhushan Taoist has made up his mind that as long as Li Tianzhen does not obediently kowtow to Zhang Xiaolan three times and apologize, he will not perform this ritual for Li Tianzhen.
Zhushan Lao Dao is a stubborn old man. No one can change the things he has identified. Li Tianzhen is a woman with quite a personality. Asking her to apologize to her enemies and kowtow can be said to be harder than reaching the sky.
