Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 137 God does not act.

In the courtyard, facing the rising sun, he meditated for more than an hour.

This day's exhaustion is gone, and people become energetic, which is worth a night's sound sleep.

Although Renshan Dao is slack in cultivation, it is also a good thing to meditate and sleep on weekdays. At least it can save a lot of time, and you don't have to waste twelve hours a day on the couch.

"Master, when did you come back last night? Why didn't you go into the house to sleep, and meditated in the gazebo again."

A clear and pleasant voice with a bit of resentment sounded, but Xiaodie came over with a basin of clear water and washing utensils.

Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes and said: "Yesterday, I came back late due to something, so I won't go to the house to disturb you to sleep, and there may be things to do today, I need to meditate to refresh myself."

"But the young master hasn't entered the room to sleep for several days, did the servant girl and Miss Chunhua do something wrong to make the young master unhappy?" Xiaodie asked faintly.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "What are you thinking in your mind, how can you make me angry, everyone is very good at serving, I am much more relieved when you are by my side, but I do have things to do these days , don’t think too much, just stay at home, if you feel bored, go out with Chunhua, and the exam is about to start again, I have to deal with these trivial matters as soon as possible to prepare for the exam.”

"Yes, the servant knows." Xiaodie said.

Seeing her resentful look, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing again: "Why, are you impatient? Is it because I haven't touched you in this period of time? You are a little girl, and you have already entered the door of my Li family. Why rush for a while."

Xiaodie's pretty face immediately turned red: "Since the young master understands the mind of the slave, why should the slave wait? Isn't it natural for the slave to serve the young master?"

"Wait a minute, your body is too weak to bear children, otherwise it will be terrible if you get pregnant and encounter dystocia." Li Xiuyuan looked at Xiaodie's petite figure and couldn't help shaking his head.

Xiaodie just asked a side question, but she didn't expect the young master to mention the matter of pregnancy and childbirth, which made her shy, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her young master anymore.

Li Xiuyuan smiled, didn't say much, just washed up under Xiaodie's service.

"By the way, where did Chunhua go, why didn't I see her?"

"Sister Chunhua went to make porridge for the young master." Xiaodie said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "When you're free, you can also teach Chunhua to read and write. Although it's a bit late to learn now, there will always be something in the future."

"Yes, master." Xiaodie replied.

After some chatting and homework, Li Xiuyuan went into the study after breakfast and got busy.

Grinding ink, twisting pen.

Li Xiuyuan dripped a few drops of blood into the ink before writing in ink.

"Young master, don't you practice calligraphy and write articles on weekdays? Why did you write about worshiping the gods today?" Xiaodie, who was serving at the side, blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

"Because some places are haunted by ghosts, I want to ask God to catch them." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Master, why are there haunted ghosts?" Du Chunhua, who was mending clothes for her young master, said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There is a cemetery not far from the city. It is haunted by ghosts. People who pass by are often confused. It is very uneasy. So I will invite the gods to clear up the ghosts in that place so that they will not continue to harm the people."

"There are also mandrills here?" Du Chunhua said with some lingering fear.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's much more powerful than the mandrill. The mandrill only takes you, a pretty widow, away, but the ghosts there want to eat people."

"What a pretty widow, the young master loves to talk nonsense." Du Chunhua's fair and pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help thinking of the past.

Some are happy and some are unhappy, but they are always happy when they are with the young master.

"It's done." Soon, with the pen and ink in Li Xiuyuan's hand, he had already written a piece of invitation to the gods.

Still invite Lei Gong's sacrificial oration.

This Lei Gong invited him once, and he has become familiar with him. I believe it will be easier to talk if he invites him again.

"But then again, the last time I invited Thunder God, I left money in Dahu Village, and asked the villagers to help build temples. After that, I will burn incense every year and offer incense as a reward. This time I invited Thunder God and got money What return?" Li Xiuyuan frowned again.

After all, if you ask others to help, you can't just say nothing.

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's settle the matter first." He shook his head, dried the ink stains, and then put away the piece of invitation to the gods.

Do not write too much, one article is enough.

If Lei Gong can be successfully invited, there is no need for a second chapter.

"Is the young master in the house?" Lu Bo's voice sounded from outside the study at this moment.

"Uncle Lu, what's the matter?" Li Xiuyuan walked out of the study.

Lu Bo saw that Li Xiuyuan handed over an invitation card in his hand: "Young master, there is a Chutian son who claims to be from the Chu family and asked someone to send an invitation card."

"Let me take a look." Li Xiuyuan opened it for a look, and immediately focused his eyes.

It is very simple, it is to invite myself out of the city to hunt and play tomorrow, and I hope that I will definitely attend the appointment.

"The one who should come has finally come." Li Xiuyuan closed the invitation with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Please Lu Bo, you go and call my two guards, I have something to tell them."

"Yes, young master." Lu Bo replied and left.

At this time, Xiaodie came over coquettishly: "Master, can I bring my servant with me when I go out to play in the city tomorrow? The servant wants to go with the young master."

Li Xiuyuan put away his coldness and said with a smile; "This is not going to play, but to go hunting. What are you little girl who wields knives and guns doing with the past, and stay at the house obediently."

Instead of hunting, I went to kill.

Xiaodie pouted slightly, looking at her young master quietly.

"Okay, don't act like a resentful woman. It's still early today. After I've ordered the guards to do something, you all go out with me and go for a walk in the city with me," Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, Master." Xiaodie suddenly became elated again.

Li Xiuyuan looked at and shook his head, this Xiaodie is still a girl after all, she came to the mansion without restraint, after being disciplined, this girl's nature came out.

But that's fine.

The word "rule" has changed how many people look like.

Soon, the two guards arrived, and after Li Xiuyuan gave them a few instructions, he took Xiaodie and Du Chunhua out the door.

I took the two of them for a stroll around the city, talked about some beautiful things in ancient times, and then went to the Town God's Temple in the afternoon and dusk.

Li Xiuyuan asked Xiaodie and Du Chunhua to wait outside, not to run around, and went to the temple alone.

When he had just walked into the temple, a middle-aged man in official clothes was already waiting here.

"I don't know why Mr. Li is coming to my small temple?" The Chenghuang smiled and bowed, and went out to greet him.

"After playing around in the city, I passed by this place and wanted to ask the City God about something."

Li Xiuyuan also bowed back, but his expression was not so polite, but rather indifferent.

"I don't dare to take the word "advice". If Mr. Li has any doubts, I can still try my best to clear them up for Mr. Li." Chenghuang said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Does the City God know about the Chu Family Cemetery and the ghost city outside the city?"

"Of course it's clear." Chenghuang said after a while.

"Why are there so many ghosts and ghosts gathered within the jurisdiction of the City God, causing chaos?" Li Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

The City God shook his head and smiled wryly; "Master Li doesn't know, the Chu family is a powerful local, if I do something about the Chu Family Cemetery, the City God's Temple will be demolished the next day, I have no choice."

Li Xiuyuan said; "A thousand-year-old ghost who wanted to become a fairy once said to me that if God wants you to die, you will die naturally. If God doesn't let you die, even if you may die, you will eventually survive. I wonder what the City God thinks?"

"This, this." Chenghuang understood what Li Xiuyuan was going to say, and immediately looked embarrassed.

"If the City God was torn down the temple and cut off the incense just because he fulfilled his duty to arrest the evil ghosts in the Chu Family Cemetery, it means that the City God's merit is nothing more than that. On the contrary, even if the City God did this, if the blessing Virtue is profound, I think City God and your temple will be fine."

"Young Master Li is right, I have been educated." The City God saluted.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "You don't understand what I'm talking about. You see, your incense is in full bloom, and there are countless worships. The city god, do you think these people come to pray for God and worship Buddha for no reason, and you give incense to the city god for nothing? No, the people don't There is no reason to worship you, and the people worship you because they want to seek your protection from ghosts and ghosts. They want to be safe and healthy. Now that ghosts are raging outside the city, do you think you can close your eyes like this to pretend that you have not seen it? ?”

"If City God has your heart, I hope you, City God, will send ghost messengers tonight, and Yin soldiers will go to Chu's cemetery to catch those ghosts and send them to the underworld, lest they continue to make trouble."

"That's all for now, goodbye."

After speaking, he didn't stop, turned around and strode away.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan striding forward, Chenghuang didn't go out to see him off, but just watched him leave with fluctuating eyes.

"This sage in the world is saying this to force me to stand in line?" He thought to himself, "But why should I get involved in the grievances between them? It's easy to offend either party, so I just don't do anything, and I will do nothing." As usual, it is enough to continue to sit on my seat as City God."

"Xiaodie, Chunhua, let's go, we should go back." Li Xiuyuan greeted and left the Town God's Temple with two personal servant girls.

At the end, he turned his head to look at the Temple of the City God, with a look of thought in his eyes: "The City God has a perfunctory and perfunctory look on his face, he must not have sent ghost messengers to visit the Chu Family Cemetery. "

But to be honest, he didn't fully expect the City God to help.

It's just that he still wanted to ascertain the intention of the City God.
