Chapter Fifty-Six: Red Eyes
"I see."
Faced with Wang Fugui's invitation, Ren Xiaofan didn't say he would go or not, and gave a very neutral answer.
Wang Fugui nodded. He had heard this kind of perfunctory words too many times, so he didn't continue to say anything.
"Ah! Brother Xiaofan, look!"
But Li Wanyan suddenly called out to Ren Xiaofan, and then pointed to the incense they were burning, "What we are burning is the incense of bliss! It is said in the book that cultivating the Tao will lead to self-enlightenment, and people will be happy and joyful! This explains what we are going to do next,
It will definitely go well.”
Ren Xiaofan looked over and saw that it was exactly as she said. The two incense went from left to right, with the same trend. This was indeed the incense of bliss.
Li Wanyan was a little happy, but since this was a funeral, she didn't show it.
"Um...who is this?" Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Wanyan.
He always thought that Li Wanyan was Ren Xiaofan's girlfriend, just an ordinary person. But listening to what she just said, it seemed that the truth was not what he thought.
"Ahem, this is my friend, a descendant of a Feng Shui family. Her ability to find dragons, point acupoints, and read Feng Shui is very good. There are few people in the circle who can match her." Ren Xiaofan coughed lightly and introduced Wang Fugui.
There is no other way, in order for this silly girl to get these five points smoothly, I can only brag her a little bit more.
However, who would have expected that after Li Wanyan heard this, she looked at him in surprise, "Brother Xiaofan, you...how did you know?"
"???" Ren Xiaofan was a little confused, what's the situation? According to his understanding of her, shouldn't she be blushing and embarrassed after being praised by him?
But what the hell is this shocked expression now... Could it be that I just guessed it right casually?
However, doubts were doubts, and he couldn't express them at this time.
Instead, he stretched out his hand and knocked Li Wanyan on the head, pretending to be displeased and said: "I asked you why you are so good at Feng Shui. You didn't tell me when I asked you before. Okay, now I've really blown it away. You
As expected, he is a descendant of the Feng Shui family, the Li family."
As he spoke, he winked at Li Wanyan in a vague way and gave her a sharp wink.
"Oh... okay, I didn't mean it." Li Wanyan felt extremely aggrieved by his sudden blow, but she still rubbed her head and endured it.
"Hey, I really can't see Taishan."
Wang Fugui didn't notice Ren Xiaofan winking, sighed, and cupped his hands towards him and Li Wanyan, "I'll treat you two to dinner the day after tomorrow at my house. I hope you can show me some favors, how about it?"
Although Ren Xiaofan didn't know Wang Fugui's true thoughts, inviting himself and Li Wanyan to his home for a banquet showed that he at least believed it.
Therefore, he did not refuse, but nodded, "Okay, thank you very much, Boss Wang."
...
Wang Fugui left, and Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyanxiang also finished their visit. There was no need to stay any longer, so they went back along the mountain road first.
On the way, Ren Xiaofan asked Li Wanyan: "Hey, what I just said, are you really a descendant of a Feng Shui family?"
When he first met this girl, he felt that she had a bookish aura, and then he could also find it from her speech and behavior. Of course, except that she liked to hold his arm when she was anxious.
"Um."
Li Wanyan was still angry because he hit her on the head, but after a faint hum, she didn't say anything more.
Ren Xiaofan glanced at this girl and felt like laughing inexplicably.
Others have serious and fierce expressions when they are angry. Just like Xue Wan, the air around her becomes cold.
But she was different. Although her face was full of unhappiness at the moment, her small mouth was pinched and her delicate nose was slightly wrinkled, which turned out to be a little cute.
"I'm sorry just now, I was too deep into the drama, why don't you knock me back."
Ren Xiaofan is not good at coaxing girls, and he is not in the mood. However, it is indeed rude to hit someone on the head, so an explanation and apology are still needed.
Li Wanyan was walking in front. After hearing the words, she turned around and looked at him with a pout, "I don't want to knock you on the head. I want you to promise me a request, otherwise I won't forgive you!"
The breeze blew by, gently blowing her fluttering hair, and her sweet jade face was dyed with a hint of red.
"Okay, you go ahead." Ren Xiaofan looked at her and nodded.
I have no money when I ask for it, and no one will give it to me. Anyway, this is the situation, so what do I have to worry about? As long as she doesn’t make excessive demands, it’s okay to agree to her.
"Well..." Li Wanyan tilted her head and thought for a while, looking like a pure and beautiful woman. "Forget it, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later."
Singing a big opera is very new to the people of Xiaoyi Tun, because not every family can afford it, especially if it is to be performed for seven days in a row, only Wang Fugui has the financial resources.
Ren Xiaofan originally didn't want to go, but he couldn't bear it and Li Wanyan dragged him there. In addition, he was a little worried that Taoist Chen would take advantage of the excitement to escape, so he sat the little fox on his shoulders and went to Wang's house to watch the show with Li Wanyan.
There were only a few operas sung for the funeral. After singing "Sacrifice to the Spirits" and "Crossing the Yin Bridge", Ren Xiaofan suddenly noticed that Daochang Chen had stood up, said something to Wang Fugui, and then left.
Regardless of the little white fox's struggle, Ren Xiaofan stuffed it into Li Wanyan's arms and warned: "Wanyan, you and Xiaobai are watching here, don't go anywhere, I'll be back later, you know?"
"
As he spoke, his eyes were indeed staring in the direction where Daochang Chen was going.
"Ah, okay, go ahead, Brother Xiaofan, we will wait here for you to come back." Li Wanyan was watching such a big show for the first time, and she was fascinated by it. She hugged the little white fox tightly and responded.
When the little white fox couldn't break free, it could only grunt a few times in dissatisfaction and then stopped struggling...
The direction Daochang Chen went was to the yard of his master's house, presumably to use the toilet, but when Ren Xiaofan followed him in, he found that the person was gone.
He quickly released his consciousness to investigate, and sure enough, in the backyard, he found that Daochang Chen had just jumped over a high wall.
Without any hesitation, Ren Xiaofan quickly chased after him and sent out a ray of consciousness to lock him firmly.
Of course, although he did not exude the aura of a monk, he still cast a concealment spell on himself. This would ensure that he would not be discovered.
Although he was in the middle stage of entering the Tao, Ren Xiaofan suffered from the disadvantage of not knowing how to move. He ran with all his strength, but could only barely see the opponent's shadow. This was despite using his spiritual consciousness to lock the opponent first.
The moonlight shines through the shadows of the wind into the forest, and the starlight shines through the sparse trees in the sky.
The moon moves retrograde and the clouds hide and leave no sound.
He followed all the way until he reached the mountain where Mrs. Wang was buried, and then he stopped.
"Come out, I've done what you said."
Under the moonlight, Daochang Chen spoke in one direction. As his words fell, a figure walked out of the darkness.
It was an old man with gray hair and a boyish face. If you look closely, you will find that his pupils are pure red. He was wearing a red and black Taoist uniform, with a long knife on his waist, and he looked a little dressed up.
Diversification.
"Yes." The old man responded, his voice like a bell. Then he walked to the tomb alone, but he didn't even glance at Daozhang Chen.
"Then...can I go?"
The old man ignored him and looked at the tombstone.
Daochang Chen's face became a little ugly, he gritted his teeth and louder his voice, "Give me the antidote, and I'll leave now!"
"Haha...what did you say? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again." The old man chuckled, still looking at the tombstone.
"I've done what you asked me to do. Now can you give me the antidote?" Chen Daochang's voice was almost pleading this time.
"Oh..." After hearing this, the old man nodded, then turned to Daochang Chen and said: "There is no problem in giving you the antidote, but you have to help me dig up this tomb, can you do it?"
Although he was asking, the old man's expression and voice left no room for doubt.
Daochang Chen knew that if he didn't dig up the grave, the other party wouldn't give him the antidote.
So he could only grit his teeth and nod, "Okay!"
On a dark and windy night, when digging a grave.
I don’t know what this Taoist Chen does, but there are grave digging tools like Luoyang shovels in the Qiankun bag.
After taking them out one by one and using them together, after a while, I saw the corner of the coffin containing Mrs. Wang.
Digging a grave was a physical job. Even if Master Chen was a monk, he would be very tired. But luckily, he dug out the whole coffin in the end.
"I dug... I dug it. Where is the antidote? Give it to me." Daochang Chen sat on the coffin lid, panting from exhaustion. He did not rush to pack his tools, but first stretched out his hand towards the white-haired old man.
.
"Oh, the antidote is in the coffin."
The old man said lightly, and in the hand behind his back, a talisman suddenly appeared.
"What? In the coffin?" Daochang Chen was stunned for a moment. He knew exactly what was in the coffin, and he didn't have the antidote he wanted.
Mu Ran, Daochang Chen's heart suddenly shivered, he secretly said something bad, and instinctively crawled out of the pit.
However, at this moment, a strong suction force suddenly came from Mrs. Wang's coffin, sucking him tightly.
"Hahaha, it's too late to leave now." The old man suddenly laughed, his red pupils shining strangely red under the moonlight.
"ah!!!"
As the talisman burned, a shrill scream resounded through the silent forest.
Ren Xiaofan hid behind a tree, not even daring to take a breath. He really wanted to look in the mirror and kowtow to himself a few times. He was so smart.
Fortunately, Te Miao used the hidden form in advance, otherwise, the screams would have been added.
"To be continued..."
