Chapter 40 How to open an altar

Mingyue was waiting outside. When Huo Jiuge came out, she pretended to carry her shoes, and then praised: "The young lady is so beautiful. With this dress, she looks like a fairy."

Huo Jiuge is wearing a yellow cotton damask skirt with beautiful orchid embroidery on the hem. She has delicate flowing sideburns and looks fresh, gentle, gentle and approachable.

"You were serving my aunt before, haven't you gotten used to my eldest sister's charming appearance?" Huo Jiuge said calmly, making it clear that he was deliberately trying to embarrass her.

You must know that what Huo Qingshang cares about most is that face. If she knew that someone was saying bad things about her behind her back, she would probably be punished by waiting for Mingyue.

However, the words she spoke were like water being poured out. Now even Qiu Chan and Dong Mei were waiting to see her show.

"The eldest lady's reputation has long spread far and wide. Her beauty is like a jewel worth thousands of gold, shining with dazzling light; but the lady's beauty is like the pear blossoms encountered by chance in the mountains, as white and flawless as ever. A rare treasure that can only be found.”

Huo Jiuge has lived in Jinling for a long time. Compared with Huo Qingshang, who has appeared at banquets of major aristocratic families since she was a child, no one has discovered her beauty yet.

"You are a sweet talker." Huo Jiuge seemed to be very happy to be coaxed by her, so he was extra gracious and took her to Guangling Hall with him.

When they arrived at Guangling Hall, they found that almost everyone was there except Huo Jiuge.

Among the group of people, Huo Qingshang was the most eye-catching. The begonia flowers on her skirt were blooming as brightly as her beauty. When she saw Huo Jiuge, who had arrived late, she pretended to be coquettish and said: "How did the fifth sister come here?" So late? Let us all wait."

At the beginning, she put such a big hat on Huo Jiuge.

Huo Jiuge first saluted Mr. Huo, and then replied: "My courtyard is not as good as my eldest sister's Wangshu courtyard. I was delayed for a while on the way. Please bear with me."

Hexiangyuan is located in a side courtyard. They picked out the remaining land and cleared it for Huo Jiuge to move in. Although the name is Hexiangyuan, there is only a broken pond in the yard. According to the old woman, it used to be There are lotus flowers, but if no one lives there for a long time, the lotus flowers inside will wither and die, and there will still be a stench in the summer.

Huo Qingshang didn't expect that she would say that. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question.

It was Mr. Huo who broke the awkward situation by saying, "Go and sit down next to me first."

After Huo Jiuge thanked him, he took his seat.

Although Mrs. Qin on the side saw this scene, she did not speak for her daughter. Watching Huo Jiuge take a seat, she sneered: Huo Jiuge, enjoy this last moment, because you will die soon. Coming soon!
Her expression fell into Huo Changbai's eyes. Out of concern for his mother, Huo Changbai tugged on Qin's sleeve and asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

After that epidemic, Huo Changbai grew up a little, at least he was not as impatient as before and became much calmer.

"I don't know what's going on lately. I always feel restless and I don't feel better after taking medicine." Mrs. Qin said pointedly. When she said this, she deliberately glanced in the direction of Huo Jiuge and noticed that she He was lowering his head, as if his words had no concern for her.

Qin's teeth itched with hatred when she thought of the mistake she had made.

The conversation between the two mother and son fell into the ears of Mr. Huo. He turned to Mrs. Qin and said, "After Taoist Wang has done the rituals, you go to him and ask him to see what went wrong." Although Huo Jiuge looked at Not like Qin's style, even after listening to the conversation between her and the old man, there was no expression on her face, and her eyes occasionally glanced at them, which were all meaningful.

Everyone was in the courtyard of Guangling Hall, watching the Taoist priests perform rituals. No one spoke a word. Apart from the sound of the Taoist priests chanting sutras, the only sound left in their ears was the sound of the rosary beads in Mr. Huo's hand.

After a full hour, Taoist Wang came down from the altar.

He was holding Buddha dust in his hand and wearing a large Taoist robe. He looked quite immortal. Seeing that the ritual was over, Mr. Huo quickly asked: "Taoist Master, have you given away that thing?"

Taoist Wang walked to the crowd and stopped, looked around with stern eyes, and said, "When I was doing the ritual just now, I felt an evil aura in the house, and now it is hiding in front of people."

This sentence frightened everyone, and they all started talking about it. One by one, you doubted me, and I doubted you.

"Then according to the Taoist priest, how should we deal with it?" Mr. Huo has always been superstitious. When the Taoist priest said this, he immediately looked for a way to escape.

"No wonder I've been restless recently. There really is something evil at work here." Mrs. Qin said, pretending to be panicked.

She couldn't wait to see Huo Jiuge's fate!
"As the saying goes, all things carry yin and embrace yang, and the qi is thought to be in harmony. However, the yin energy in your house is too strong, which dilutes the yang energy. If you don't drive this evil thing out, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster later!"

"Is it really that serious?" Mr. Huo frowned, with a sad look on his face.

Taoist Wang nodded and said, "General Huo killed countless enemies during his lifetime and was brave and good at fighting. However, this evil spirit has been haunting him. After his death, the evil spirit focused on other people."

"Hearing what the Taoist Master said, is it possible that all this is my father's fault? Did my father bring this dirty thing to the house?" Huo Jiuge snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "My father is Lord Wu'an who was personally conferred by the emperor. , You are so blessed, so how can you be entangled by evil spirits? Stop talking here and misleading the public!"

Faced with her question, Taoist Wang did not panic at all. He calmly explained: "This evil spirit knows that it cannot defeat the general, so it has possessed other people early. If it is not driven away, it will It will affect more people.”

"How can we believe it based on your words alone?" Huo Jiuge wanted to argue with him but was stopped by Mr. Huo.

"Jiu Ge! Don't be rude to Taoist Priest!" After saying this, he turned to Taoist Wang and apologized: "My little girl made a mistake, please don't blame Taoist Priest!"

From his attitude towards Taoist Wang, we can know that he really believed what he said and felt that there was something unclean in the house, so he asked him to do something to get that thing out.

After hearing his request, the Taoist priest shook his head with a look of embarrassment and said, "This thing has been cultivated for many years, and now it is attached to people. The poor Taoist cannot find it for the time being."

Mr. Huo winked at the butler, and after a while, the other man walked in with a tray in hand. Although the tray was covered with a red cloth, it was bulging underneath, and a lot of silver was hidden at first glance.
