Chapter 40 Scarlet Wedding Dress (9)(1/2)
Sanqing sat in the high hall with a burner of incense. When Aunt Zhu saw her coming, she resented her for a long time.
Putting down the fruit basket, Li Yundan looked at Aunt Zhu, who looked unhappy. He was wondering where he had offended her again, but he found that there were wooden chalices and bamboo divination sticks scattered around the futon where Aunt Zhu was kneeling.
It was messy and some of the sticks were broken.
It seems to be divination...
Could it be that he had divined a big evil and happened to meet her, so he took his anger out on her?
It's not impossible.
Li Yundan was not annoyed, but still wanted to laugh: "What's wrong with Aunt Zhu? You are angry so early in the morning, but you want me to pour you a cup of tea?"
After all, she was the one who sent fruits to Sanqing for five or six days. Although she usually sat on the bench, she still had the right to ask for a drink of water from Sangu Hall.
No, there are two porcelain cups upside down on the desk where Aunt Zhu often draws talismans, one of which is for her use.
Li Yundan took the tea leaves and put them into the cup, then poured it into the hot water bottle, brewed it and drank it after it cooled down - this was the "cow chewing peony" tea drinking method she had newly learned at the trial site.
It was just for convenience, she was used to it.
The hot water boiled the tea leaves, but it could not warm Aunt Zhu's heart.
She looked at Li Yundan, and then at the chaotic hexagram. After enduring it, she still couldn't hold it back. She said with a gun and a stick: "What else can happen? Look at this hexagram, don't you have any self-knowledge? You are not only recruiting me."
You are so disgusted that you actually made the ancestors dislike you."
Li Yundan: "Nine out of ten fortune-tellings are accurate, and the other one is blind. How can you count?"
Aunt Zhu was very angry, and the wrinkles on her face were boiling: "You compare the crooked ways of other families with our upright family? If you say another word, you will kneel down to my ancestor!"
Li Yundan shut up knowingly.
The incense in front of the Sanqing case had not yet been burned, so Gu Gu calmed down and knelt on the futon to pack her things while murmuring: "You are a little girl who is only stable on the outside, but is very generous on the inside. You don't mean what you say when you open your mouth.
I wonder how your parents resisted beating you?"
Li Yundan: "I run fast."
"What?"
"nothing……"
After saying this, Gu Gu rolled her eyes and continued: "I saw that you were okay even after staying in the cage for a few days, so I know that you have a good foundation, you are a practitioner, and you have some ability. People like you
, Either the ancestral shadow is deep or the yin virtue is very strong, maybe there is some karma with our Maoshan, so I just want to ask the ancestor to see if I can accept you as a young apprentice and teach you the urn."
People's hearts are made of flesh. Li Yundan came to Sangu Hall every day, and she finally softened her heart.
It was expected that this child was sincere in her heart to save people, and the Grandmaster must also be willing to accept her as his disciple... No idea, the Grandmaster was not only unwilling to accept her, but also reminded her with three bad fortunes: "This child's chance
Not here”.
Moreover, this woman has an "elephant" in her body and is destined to become a big climate person, and she is definitely not the same as the Maoshan Taoist priests.
Aunt Zhu sighed: "You have no fate with me, and Grandmaster will not accept you. I took possession of you three times, and every time it was terrible." Even though she still likes this child, but Grandmaster doesn't allow it, she can only forget it.
Li Yundan asked curiously: "Why do you need to ask the ancestor about becoming a master and accepting a disciple?"
Isn't this a matter of two people? If you want to be a disciple and I want to be a master, why don't we just get married? We have half a copper coin relationship with the ancestor?
Hearing this, Aunt Zhu couldn't help but sigh even more: "As soon as I heard what you said, I knew that you are not on the same path as us. Maybe you don't even know the basics of Maoshan, right?"
With such a meager foundation, he looks more like a layman than a layman. It's really hard to describe.
She could only explain: "Maoshan disciples have been doing this for generations. Some people send their children to the mountain to be apprentices. Brothers who want to accept a disciple will kneel down in front of the ancestor and ask. If the hexagram is good, accept it. If the hexagram is not good, don't accept it. No.
exception."
"After all, if you want to be a Taoist priest, you need to rely on your teacher's training and your own efforts. Among them, the teacher's training is the most important thing. If you don't have a master to guide you, who will guide you in what you want to learn?"
Li Yundan: "To tell the truth? Can't you tell the truth yourself?"
Zhu Gu:......
Seeing that the old man's face was turning purple, as if he was about to get sick from her anger, Li Yundan quickly gave her a glass of water: "Aunt Zhu, please speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."
remember
The incense had not finished burning, and she could not lose her composure in front of her master. Zhu Gu drank some water to calm down the fire, and looked at Li Yundan, who was not angry at all: "Learning Maoshan Technique is like a baby walking on the ground, and thinking about running away before he can crawl.
?As for this painting of talisman, you have a teacher to draw whatever you want, and the master can clean up the mess for you if something goes wrong. But if you don't have a teacher, you have to bear the consequences yourself. What do you use to invite gods to send gods? Do you rely on your virtuous character?
Zu Yin?”
"You can't do anything on your own without serious apprenticeship, otherwise ordinary people won't be able to bear the consequences."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhu cursed: "It's like some idiots gathered together to hire a Brush Immortal, but they don't know that the method of inviting a Brush Immortal is the technique that flowed out from Maoshan. They just hired a Brush Immortal without a teacher, and they hired a Brush Immortal without self-reliance."
When dealing with people, the lucky ones know how to ask the master for help, and the rest are all dead."
"Drawing talismans is also a way to invite gods. If I can't accept you, you won't have a teacher. Without a teacher, you are destined to be unable to learn."
She said helplessly: "You'd better leave the cage as soon as possible."
However, Li Yundan thought of the Chiyang Dao, the overwhelming power of the Devil's Palm, the endless Immortal Treasure and other things, and he just felt that "teacher" had just come. With thanks to this constant, the voice of the gods, and the great Xumi Ke as the "teacher",
She can make it whatever she wants, right?
It's okay to use Yin De and Zu Yin. She has a family of emperors, princes, generals, queen mothers, queens and concubines. Although they have been buried long ago, why can't they give her the cover?
If they don't give her the truth, won't Da Li destroy the country? They won't be stupid enough to let other families dig up the imperial tomb.
Li Yundan: "Actually, I have a master. If Aunt Zhu is at ease, please grant me the talisman."
Zhu Gu:......
"Where did you get your apprenticeship from?"
"Master's origin is too great to be revealed."
"..." How thick-skinned do you have to be to say something like this?
Zhu Gu laughed angrily: "You really dare to say, okay, okay, okay, I'll ask the ancestor if you can learn to draw talismans. Li Yundan, please watch out for me, the fourth time will definitely be a disaster."
As a result, she successfully cast the Holy Grail three times, which brought great luck and prosperity!
There was silence for a moment.
Aunt Zhu didn't believe it, so she took turns to exchange for three copper coins, a tube of bamboo sticks, and six large and small ren... I have to say that she knew a lot of things, and her accomplishments in Qimen were far better than drawing talismans. She just looked at the size of Dajichang every time.
Like, Gu Gu deeply suspected that she had "miscalculated".
How could this be? He couldn't be accepted as his disciple, but he could be given the talisman to her.
Why did the Patriarch give such instructions? Maoshan Technique cannot be passed on to others. This is a rule!
"Aunt Zhu?"
The last bit of incense was burned out, and the divination on the ground read Qian Tian Jiu Wu, which was the symbol of a flying dragon in the sky. Zhu Gu knelt down on the futon with a wry smile, and dropped her hand, causing the divination to fall to the ground.
She turned to look at Li Yundan, with a mix of sadness and joy on her face: "Maybe...you are a glimmer of hope."
Li Yundan smiled, but did not forget the purpose of this trip: "Then, Aunt Zhu, tell me what you know about the cage house. Only by knowing the crux of the problem can I prescribe the right medicine."
"……good."
This response seemed to be deflated, and there was a kind of indescribable vicissitudes and pain.
"This matter has to start from the earliest days of Sangutang..."
A hundred years ago, Sangu Hall was still called "Sangu Hall". It was a well-known hall from all over the country. The person enshrined was not the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, but a green-robed Liuxian.
The so-called Liuxian is a snake demon who has a certain way of doing things and never harms people. He comes to the world from the mountains and finds a disciple to cooperate with him to help people see things, predict good and bad luck, and save people from disasters.
It’s about accumulating negative virtue so that you can become official as soon as possible.
It was a coincidence that the disciple he was looking for was a beautiful woman with Yin characters in her horoscope, and her zodiac sign was Snake, which was a good match. But the Immortal couldn't help but get married, and they had been working together for more than ten years. The woman fell in love with a man named Cao, and they went to the church to get married.
Little did they know, this was the beginning of all troubles.
On the forty-ninth day of their marriage, the woman died tragically deep in the jungle, and the willow fairy on her body was nowhere to be found. Everyone said that the snake demon's evil nature is hard to get rid of, so when they saw that there was no hope of becoming a righteous person after following this woman, they tore her into pieces and ate her.
Okay. Even if the Cao family is pitiful, the bride they married died tragically, and I don’t know who would dare to marry her to fill the house.
However, the Cao family is still "grand". They held a decent funeral for their dead daughter-in-law, found a feng shui treasured place for her to be buried, and spent forty-nine days in peace. Finally, they visited her every year on her death anniversary.
"Send off", burn paper and incense for her, and wish her peace and prosperity in the next life.
In this way for nine years, the Cao family gained an excellent reputation.
Perhaps this great righteousness moved God. In those nine years, the Cao family's wealth was extremely prosperous, doubling several times every year, and they soon became the new rich man in this land. The "groom official" also acted as the groom every night, and not only paid
He married seven or eight concubines and gave birth to about ten fat boys. Except for dying a little early, he lived a life without any shortcomings.
After nearly a hundred years, no matter how many ups and downs they experienced, the Cao family never failed. Now, it is the leading family of Jiujiao, with a position that no one can shake. Even the name "Jiujiao" was given to this land by the Cao family.
Started.
However, there are more and more strange things happening in Jiujiao Furen, and they are becoming more and more bizarre.
It seems that starting from the Cao family, every nine years, a bride will die in the rich family ranked first in the Jiujiao family. The brides are all snakes, like an inescapable curse. And every family will blow and beat every year, and the whole family will die.
It took nine years to give up.
To be continued...
