Hong Kong Comprehensive: Longevity from Uncle Nine

Chapter 44 The red lantern hangs high

A day later, Zhang Sheng arrived in Conghua County, which has been under the Guangzhou government since the Ming Dynasty and is now under the management of Yangcheng.

Although it is close to Yangcheng, it has been impacted by Western thoughts, but it has little impact on the local people, and mainly affects those wealthy residents, businessmen, local gentry, and landlords.

Therefore, when Zhang Sheng went to the streets of the county town, he could see foreign goods, gentlemen in suits, and of course gentry in long robes and jackets, and ordinary people in short jackets.

The women I see on the road are usually women who are busy with their families. Occasionally, I see a woman wearing a cheongsam. I am afraid that they are engaged in the entertainment industry.

Of course, there are also girls in school uniforms, full of youthful atmosphere, with a young man beside him, talking about the future.

Zhang Sheng walked into a restaurant, which was decorated in a foreign style on the outside, but the structure on the inside was still in the local style.

As soon as he walked in, a waiter immediately stepped forward and asked, "Welcome, how many guests are there?"

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "I'm alone, just sit in the lobby."

Immediately he ordered a few dishes, the main meat was pork belly, another vegetable, and a soup.

He is a Taoist priest of the Zhengyi Sect. The Zhengyi Sect doesn't have too many rules and regulations in terms of diet, but he can't eat five kinds of meat, and there are four things he doesn't eat in terms of meat.

The four do not eat refers to not eating the meat of the four animals: cattle, dogs, geese, and mullet.

Because the cow has worked hard all his life, he has made contributions to others, which represents loyalty; the dog guards the house and guards the home, works hard and bears no complaints, and represents righteousness.In addition, there is an ancient saying that "the word prison follows cattle, and the word prison follows dogs. If you don't eat cattle and dogs, you will never be in prison."

Wild geese lose their spouses and live alone all their lives, never looking for another new love, which represents chastity; when mullet gives birth, their eyes are dim and unable to hunt, the little mullet will automatically swim into the mother's mouth to satisfy their hunger, which represents filial piety.

Therefore, there are four not to eat.

Moreover, the higher your status, the more precepts you need to obey.

Zhang Sheng was eating, and the people at the table next to him had too much wine and started talking.

A fat-headed man said: "You know? Didn't Mr. Chen marry a fifth wife before, and I heard that the bridal chamber was haunted at night!"

The small-eyed man quickly asked: "How do you know, did you go to listen to the wall that night?"

The rest of the people roared with laughter.The fat-headed man waved his hand and said: "Go, go, don't interrupt, let me tell you, it's the servants of the Chen family who slipped the tongue.

Recently, Mr. Chen has been inviting people everywhere, making a fuss. "

The small-eyed man immediately poured a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it later."

The fat-headed man triumphantly whispered: "Hey, let me tell you, this matter lasted until last year, didn't his third wife die?

Let me tell you, he didn't die of illness, but was secretly killed because he gave Master Chen a green hat. "

The small-eyed man stared wide-eyed and said, "Sin, that third wife is pretty."

Another person immediately asked: "Who is so bold to sleep with Master Chen's woman?"

The fat-headed man smiled and said, "Just Dr. Gao who came back from overseas."

The small-eyed man said indignantly: "Hey, those who have learned from foreigners are black-hearted, bah!"

Zhang Sheng withdrew his mind, it seemed that he was going to intervene in this matter.

This is a fatal matter, and now only one husband and one wife can be married, and it is actually illegal to marry a concubine.

It is indeed wrong for the third wife to have sex with other people, but the crime does not deserve death.

Cheating is wrong, murder is a big mistake!You cannot solve another mistake with a bigger mistake.

Moreover, he didn't think that this old master Chen killed him because of his love, but because of the face of the Chen family, he didn't want to make his family ugly, and he had been used to it for thousands of years.

After Zhang Sheng finished his meal, he left in a hurry, and then he changed his outfit and came to Chen's residence.

The building of the Chen family is very exquisite, surrounded by tall walls, and even people can stand on it to watch the sentry.

However, the servants of Chen's mansion saw Zhang Sheng's appearance, so they didn't dare to neglect him, and hurriedly called the porter to invite the housekeeper.

Chen Dashun, the old housekeeper, hurried to the door and received Zhang Sheng.

He said routinely: "The Taoist priest is so young. I accompanied the master to visit the nearby Taoist temples. I have never met the Taoist priest. I don't know who the Taoist priest is. I am afraid that I will lose my manners."

Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "I am a teacher of Maoshan, and that real Jinbao is my master."

Chen Dashun was shocked, Maoshan, that is a great sect, he immediately became more respectful, bowed his head and said: "It turns out that Maoshan is an expert, and the villain is disrespectful and disrespectful, Taoist please hurry up."

He had no doubt that Zhang Sheng would pretend to be a Taoist priest from Maoshan. After all, Taoist priests from Maoshan Mountain had their ashrams all over Guangdong Province, so it was very easy to know their identity.

Zhang Sheng followed Chen Dashun to see that old master Chen Zuoqian, Chen Zuoqian stood up and said, "Prince Daoist, please sit down."

After the two sat down, Chen Zuoqian briefly talked about the situation, and said: "After the third wife of the old man died, the old man asked people to burn a lot of things for her, and they burn incense every year and festival. I really don't know why she has a ghost Don't leave."

Zhang Sheng didn't come to a conclusion, whether it was true or not, he would find out when he caught the female ghost and asked.

He got up and said, "Then let's take a look at the yard where that lady lived before."

Walking in the corridor of the Chen Mansion, Zhang Sheng only felt that it was low and cramped, and a little dark.

Soon, a group of people came to the courtyard of the third wife Mei Lan. In the corner, a woman wearing a blue top and a long black skirt ran out and shouted: "They killed people, I killed her, no, no What I killed was the damn ethics, not my fault!"

Chen Zuoqian's face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted: "Put her back quickly!"

He explained with some embarrassment: "Don't be surprised, Daoist. This is the fourth wife I married a year ago. After Mei Lan died, she went crazy, alas."

Zhang Sheng didn't answer, he stretched out his hand and broke the iron chain, and opened the courtyard door.

A gust of wind blew out, and everyone behind felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Zhang Sheng immediately cast a spell and said: "The Taishang Laojun is divided into three parts, the Great Sun Tathagata fixes the three souls, the heaven and the earth are combined into three fires, and give me the magic eye to see Yin and Yang!" ah.)
With a flash of golden light in front of his eyes, Zhang Sheng saw the door of the opposite room open by itself, and inside was an actor in a costume.

The woman's eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness, and there was a red strangle mark on her neck.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sheng already knew that the woman was strangled to death.

He looked back at Chen Zuoqian and said, "Mr. Chen, this female ghost has a lot of grievances, and she will leave only when her wish is fulfilled."

Chen Zuoqian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Chen Zuoqian and said, "You must know."

After that, he lifted his legs and left the courtyard.

Chen Zuoqian was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Daoist, I am willing to pay you money that satisfies you!"

Zhang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "This is karma, I can't interfere, and what's more, I hate others to lie to me."

After all, don't stay any longer, just leave.

In fact, at the beginning, as long as Chen Zuoqian told the truth, he could save him, but unfortunately, he couldn't live by doing his own crimes.

　I want to read the new book, and ask for a reward!In addition, everyone can provide the name of the magic weapon, or the role.
