All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 11

Shen Lingxi asked keenly: "You died the night before yesterday, and no one has discovered that you have passed away. Where is your body now?"

Liu Si: "It's in the well next to the warehouse in the mansion. The well is located in a remote place, and next to it is an important warehouse. There are very few people passing by on weekdays. After a few days of soaking, the body will stink. Maybe someone will find it then. .”

"Since that's the case, let's start by salvaging your body tomorrow." Shen Lingxi shook the round fan in his hand, "For these two days, you should stay with your wife and children first, and if they are in danger, please come and tell me in time."

Liu Si responded, and briefly told Shen Lingxi about the situation in the mansion, and the location of the well, until the "Xizhaoxiang" was about to burn out, and then he disappeared and left.

Early the next morning, while Shen Lingxi was still asleep, she was awakened by the familiar sound of the soul-rescue bell and chanting mantras.

"Thousands of filth, evil does not exist; thousands of demon kings, protect life and body..." 1
She loosened her hair, got out of bed barefoot, opened the door, and saw that the courtyard was covered with exorcism charms.

There are four young Kun Dao in their twenties, who are stepping on the sky in the courtyard and getting up from the altar to pray.

When everyone in the courtyard saw her coming out, they all fell silent, especially the four Kun Taoists, who were suddenly stunned, with surprise on their faces.

Seeing this, An's mother almost laughed out loud.

Anyone who sees the wild girl like this will regard her as a ghost.

"Don't be afraid, priests, this... This is the fifth girl of our family." Mama An pressed down the sneer at the corner of her lips, and went forward to salute Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi glanced over the faces of those Kun Dao, and asked pretending to be displeased: "What did Mama An invite these aunts to do early in the morning?"

"Back to Miss, Master Hou said that the old ancestor was not in good health these past two days, and he was worried that there might be some evil spirits colliding with him, so he ordered his servants to go to the Golden Immortal Temple to ask the Taoist priest to come and practice the ritual.

With the experience from last time, Mother An said the last two words very lightly, for fear of offending the little ancestor in front of her again.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyebrows, "Is it only in my yard, or is it done by the whole family?"

Mother An looked embarrassed, "This... Master Hou didn't explain..."

"If it's only my yard, then you send them out of the house now." Shen Lingxi said bluntly: "If father thinks that my daughter who came out of the coffin shop is unlucky, he doesn't have to take me back to the house. Pack the boxes and look back at the fairy village."

"Hey, don't, don't... Miss misunderstood."

Mother An is in a hurry. If the little ancestor is really gone, it will be hard to explain to the old ancestor when he asks, "Master Hou said... do everything, and do everything in the whole house, starting with the Jingsiyuan..."

Only then did Shen Lingxi calm down, "I'm hungry, so I'll get someone to bring a whole table of good food, and I'll have to sleep a little longer after eating, so I'll just leave them here to do it, you can go elsewhere and don't worry about it." Let others bother me."

An's mother was afraid that she would cause some trouble again, so she hurriedly responded and ordered someone to bring a table full of food.

After An's mother took her away, Shen Lingxi walked out of the room again, already groomed.

She tied her long black hair into a neat bun, fixed it with a mahogany hairpin, and changed into Taoist robes that were exactly the same as those of the four kun dao.

She was already thin, and the Taoist robe was on her body, which added a bit of coolness to her face, which was already bright and charming without makeup, and made her whole person feel a little more bone-like and fairy-like.

"Uncle Master." The four kun dao bowed to her in unison.

Shen Lingxi smiled at them.

It has to be said that Xuan Pinghou, a half-way father, can really do the whole job for her.

I was worried that there was no one there, so I sent her a helper early in the morning.

A person like Shen Lingxi who does casual things will inevitably have contacts with temples and temples on weekdays.

Few people in the capital know that Xuanqing female crown of Jinxianguan once accepted Shen Lingxi as a closed disciple during her lifetime.

The current abbot, Miaozhen Nuguan, is Shen Lingxi's senior brother, and the four Kun Taoists who came today are disciples of Miaozhen's sect, so naturally they should call her "Master Uncle".

"Okay, we're all on our own, so don't put on all these extravagances." Shen Lingxi sat down at the table and waved to the four of them, "Come here early in the morning, I think you didn't have a good meal, sit down and have a taste first The craftsmanship of the government, and there is work to be busy later, it will not work if you are hungry."

Jinxian Temple is the most famous ritual ritual, and the disciples of the temple will inevitably come into contact with the dead on a daily basis.Because of Shen Lingxi's relationship, they also helped her do a lot of white things.

Shen Lingxi never puts on airs as a master uncle, and often takes everyone down the mountain to earn incense money. Everyone in Jinxian Temple is very close to her.

As soon as they heard her say "there is a job", the four Kun Dao knew that it must be related to the deceased, they were very curious, and they sat down to eat with her without being polite to her.

After the five masters and nephews finished their meal, Shen Lingxi also arranged errands for the four of them.

"No matter who comes later, don't be nervous, just do as I say. As long as things are done, Jinxianguan will not have to worry about the incense money for the next five years."

Shen Lingxi paused for a moment, and added, "Maybe, someone else offered to pay for you to repair the golden body of Venerable Sanqing."

When the four Kun Dao heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.

The oldest one, Ming An's Kun Dao, patted his chest, "Don't worry, Uncle Master, we will only focus on the incense money and the golden body. We are not afraid of anyone, and we will fight it out!"

*
When Mama An came out of the Jingsiyuan, for some reason, she always felt weak in her heart, and her eyelids kept twitching.

She went to the front yard, and finally waited until Xuanping Marquis Shen Ji came back to the palace, and hurriedly relayed Shen Lingxi's words.

Mama An pleaded guilty, "The maidservant made her own decision, and according to the fifth girl's wishes, let those Kun Dao perform tricks in the mansion, and ask the Marquis to punish them."

"It's okay, you're doing the right thing." Shen Ji waved his hands nonchalantly, "Let those Kun Dao go around in the mansion to do legal things, so as to avoid panic in the mansion because of the fifth girl's background."

Mama An felt relieved, she left the study in the front yard, and went back to the Jingsiyuan.

In the meditation courtyard, Kun Dao and others have finished a ritual and are packing their things.

Seeing Mama An coming in, Ming An stepped forward and saluted, "Just now, the poor Taoist made a hexagram, there is a bad omen in the northeast of your mansion, why not start from there, what do you think?"

"Northeast? An evil omen?" Mama An was stunned for a moment, and then a few traces of disdain flashed in her eyes.

It's just a formality, these aunts really dare to say anything in order to ask for more incense money.

"I've heard of Taoism." Mama An said with a smile on her face.

She saw that among the four of them, an aunt had put on a mask made of paper, and she pointed curiously, "This Taoist priest is really ingenious. It's the first time I've seen a Taoist priest wearing a mask while performing rituals."

Ming An explained with a smile, "This is our Uncle Miaoling, the uncle won the true biography of the Grand Prix Xuanqing Female Crown, please don't take offense, Mom."

When Mama An heard that she belonged to the generation of "Miao", she hurriedly put away the joke on her face, "It's because I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, so don't blame the Taoist."

What she didn't know was that the aunt wearing the mask was none other than Shen Lingxi.

　1. From "Zhengtian Master Lingbaoji Liandugu Keyi"

　　There is no distinction between men and women in Taoism, and there is no title of teacher and sister. All members of the same school are called brothers and sisters.

　　Taoist practice does not wear masks, and the masked ones are Nuo dances, which are purely for the needs of the plot.
