Chapter 172 21: Rumors
Li Chan wandered around in front of the Daxiangguo Temple for a while, but failed to find any news about Immortal Mo.On the other hand, the red medicine harvested quite a lot, and I made an appointment with a carpenter near Heshamen, and ordered bed cabinets, tables, chairs and other things.I also bought three buffalo horn combs, two grates, and a pile of pots and pans.The two ate a bowl of rice dumplings in the market, loaded the sundries into a wheelbarrow, and returned to Guangzhaifang.

Before entering the door, Hong Yao pulled out the wide lock with carved tiger eyes, Tong Guang Ye Ye.

The door of the abandoned garden is still the same as before, but with new paint, jujube wood shafts, soybean oil, and new locks. Looking from the outside, the door is still dilapidated, but the weather is different.

When the white cat heard the movement, it left the charcoal basin, ran to the threshold and raised its head, saying: "The new house is locked, good, good."

"The only thing missing is a janitor." Hong Yao wiped the freshly dried paint with her fingertips, "Others can use a janitor, but we can't."

"What's the use of having a door god! The door god of Niu Shou Mountain looks scary, so it's not useful?" Mr. Xue Shier recalled the night when he acted fiercely in Qingling County a month ago, and jumped onto the eaves of the door to meet him Breeze and snow, white hair fluttering, majestic.

The next moment, he felt a little cold again, and was about to retreat under the door, when there was a little demon in the wall, with a dark body, red eyes and white hair, and praised: "Mr. trampled that door god to death!"

When Xu Da heard it, he couldn't care less about the cold, looked down at the little demon, nodded and said: "Hey, you have some eyesight, it's your own, that's right! I will make you the general of the town house, would you like it? "

"Yes, why don't you want to?" The little demon was overjoyed, and immediately turned into a cloud of gray smoke, and slammed into the keyhole.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the lock, Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief, shivered from the cold, and crouched down with his neck shrunk.He felt that the black tiles were freezing cold, so he swung his tail in front of him as a paw pad, and stayed like this for a while. After Li Chan closed the door, the monsters dragged the wheelbarrow into the garden, and it quickly jumped off the eaves of the door, and sprinted to the charcoal of the main house. edge of the basin.

Hong Yao put down the hand stove and ordered the monsters to decorate the kitchen.The white cat clings to the charcoal basin, squinting lazily at the busy work of the demons, and finally warms up, calling out to the hand stove: "Song Wuji, Song Wuji!"

The fire essence sprang out of the hand stove and floated to the side of the basin, "Here, let's..."

The white cat wondered: "Hey, why did you promise to be so cute? Why don't you go in quickly?"

Song Wuji's tone was rapid, "Xue, Xue Shi'er... let's go..."

In the window pane, the fox girl walked over with a bundle of firewood, glanced sideways, and stopped, "Hey, it's burning!"

"What's burning?" Xu Da looked around curiously, and suddenly smelled a burnt smell like burning pig hair.

Looking back, he saw the white hair on his back being burned by the heat of red charcoal.

A sharp meow sounded.

The monsters who were busy in the east kitchen and the west room stopped their movements one after another.

I saw the white shadow jumping into the snow with fire, rolling over and over again, and when it stopped, it was completely wrapped in a snowball.The thousand-year-old crow that pecked grass seeds in the snow was affected and was splashed with white snow.For a while, the black bird's body was white, and the white cat's body was swollen.

The newly-appointed general of the town house saw this scene through the crack of the door, secretly laughed, and felt that this was not kind, so he slipped back into the keyhole.

Outside the garden, two Yujing people wearing sheepskin furs were walking out of Cangmi Lane, when they heard the cat meowing, they looked into the wall at the same time.

The old locust tree in the wall has lost all its leaves, and under the dead branches, there is thin snow on the new black-tiled hard hilltop.

"In just over half a month, a new house has been built in this garden. Who lives here?"

"Naturally he is a fairy, don't you know, the person who lives here is a gentleman of the fairy family. This gentleman of the fairy family can summon some talisman soldiers at random, and he can build tall buildings on the ground. His skills are amazing!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"It's true! My nephew lives in Geng Lane, the one called Liu Si."

"Oh, I've seen it, what about him?"

"He saw it with his own eyes!"

"Tsk tsk, it's really strange..."

Two people from Yujing talked and walked past the garden.

One person suddenly felt the feeling of being spied on, and turned his head to take a look.

There is a new copper lock hanging on the garden gate. The tiger's eye carving on the lock is rough and dull.

"What?" asked another.

"No." The passer-by muttered to himself and shook his head.

Locking the tiger eyes and blinking, he watched the two figures walk into the breeze and snow.

……

Bearing the snow, the oil wall cart stopped under the bearing terrace to the east of Daxiangguo Temple.The inquisitors in the temple were very familiar with the carriage of the General Fengchen's mansion, so they came forward to greet him from afar.

Although Buddhism doesn't care about fame and fortune, every time this oil wall cart from the General's Mansion comes over, at least a few dozen taels of incense money will be brought, and the treatment is always different from that of ordinary people.

The Zhike monk enthusiastically escorted the Yuebai Ruqun out of the car, and recommended to the little lady in the general's mansion the scriptures that Master Yongxing had copied and blessed by himself recently.

The girl offered 20 taels of incense money to the merit box, invited a scripture book, and put it away carefully, saying that she would read it repeatedly after leaving the temple. Buddhism, and can say a few words from time to time to make the chief praise the excellent understanding, it seems to be the kind of good men and women that Buddhism loves most.

After that, the girl inquired about Immortal Mo's residence, took a box of precious gifts, and went to the Zhonglan Courtyard next to the Xiangji Kitchen, on the south side of the Daxiangguo Temple, beside the Futu Forest.

When I arrived in front of the courtyard, I saw the boy near Pan Gu, but the boy said: "The little lady came here by coincidence. It happened that the husband got a piece of 5000-year-old purple pine wood donated by Huliang Gong in Huliang Mountain, and picked Shanyang Yunye. , and made two pieces of 'Purple Jade Light'. Mr. Xu said that Mr. Xu had a share of this purple jade light. Unfortunately, Mr. was running all the way and hadn't rested. It's stopped."

"Then I'll bother you next time." The girl felt sorry, and called her maid, who gave her a red sandalwood box.

"After Pan Gong wakes up, please hand over these two pieces of Yingzhou Yuchen to him."

"It can't be done. My husband always asks me not to accept too expensive things." The boy evaded.

"It's not from me, it's from Mr. Xu, and it's also a good ink-making material. Take it!" The girl's attitude could not be explained.

The boy had no choice but to accept the gift on behalf of the teacher, and said: "When the master returned to Beijing, he received the letterhead from the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. After the light snow, the son-in-law will invite heroes to hold an elegant fair in the West Garden. The young lady should also be invited. At that time, sir I will also take out Baomo, if you are interested, you might as well prepare it in advance."

The girl thanked and left.

After leaving the Daxiangguo Temple and being escorted out by an intellectual, the girl casually took out the scripture book that a certain so-and-so mage blesses spiritual responses, and handed it to her side.Just about to tell the maid to dispose of this thing, there are male and female pilgrims passing by in the corridor, and the sound of conversation can be heard from Zhu Qiang.

The woman asked: "What kind of talisman did you say that summoned the talisman soldiers?"

The man replied: "The Supreme Nine Heavens Xuannv's secret talisman for killing evil."

This name is enough to bluff, the woman covered her mouth and whispered.

The man proudly said: "It only took three days for the immortal master to summon the soldiers, and he built a garden in Guangzhaifang."

The woman hesitated and said, "Is this really the case?"

"Can there be a fake?" The man plausibly said, "Zhang Qilang of Cangmi Lane is my best friend. He has a nephew named Liu, who is the fourth eldest in his family. He lives in Geng Lane. I saw this with my own eyes. That night, hey, It’s true that six Ding and Liujia have appeared together, and the colorful clouds are covering the ground with golden light!”

"awesome!"

"Do you know the origin of that garden? Yuan Jianzheng..."

The voices of the two gradually drifted away.

Outside the red wall, the maid put away the scriptures.

The girl in the Yuebai skirt is thoughtful.

"Bottle."

"Hey."

"Someone lived in the abandoned garden to the west of our house?"
