From Jiu Shu's world

Xiu Niang's faint voice sounded in front of the mourning hall, and she began to tell the story of her and Ren Nian'en.The story between her and Ren Nianen started with the dragon and phoenix jade pendant.

Her full name is Zhang Xiu, and she is a lady from an official family in Nanjing. Her family can be regarded as a scholarly family with a good life.

It's just that one day, the elder brother in the family suddenly told her not to go out in the near future, the city is not peaceful, so he gave her a dragon and phoenix jade pendant.

How did this jade pendant come from, she didn't know, and she didn't ask.All she knew was that during those few months, her father and elder brother were busy and looked anxious. She knew that the world was going to be chaotic and the Northern Expeditionary Army was coming, but she couldn't do anything as a woman.

When a woman has something on her mind, she can't tell anyone, so she can only talk to herself in the boudoir. For some reason, she always feels that this jade pendant is very special. Holding it in her hand, it is always warm and comfortable. , very relaxed, so many of her inner thoughts were spoken to Yupei.

She likes to read books, and likes to read the Book of Songs with an expectant voice next to the peony flowers in spring: "Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. My fair lady, a gentleman loves her."

Every time she reads the poem gently, the red peony will move without wind and sway gently, as if it is catering to it, and it seems to want to continue reading. There will always be one or two petals falling on the line "Sleep Ask for it".

She likes embroidery. She embroiders a pair of mandarin ducks and a pair of phoenixes. Every time she gets tired from embroidery, as soon as she raises her head, there will be a breeze blowing by, Kazuki's flowers and leaves are dancing like dancing, but there is always the most beautiful one every time A flower fell steadily on her head.

She felt that there seemed to be someone around her who was accompanying her, reading books with her, embroidering with her, catering to the sound of her books, and picking the most beautiful flowers for her.

She didn't know what was beside her, she thought it was the magical jade pendant, but she didn't tell anyone, but told more of her heart to jade pendant, and she was only willing to tell jade pendant.

Speaking of this, Xiu Niang paused, looked affectionately at Ren Nianen who was lying in her arms, and then continued to tell the following story.

Henry Zhang couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed in his heart, I'm afraid it's the love between humans and ghosts.

The second half of the story that Xiuniang told also came slowly.

As spring went and autumn came, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally reached Nanjing. On that day, the sound of artillery fire resounded all over the world, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, not only the revolutionary army, but also those thugs who took the opportunity to cause chaos.

In the Zhang residence, the servants fled in all directions, all packing their luggage.She stared blankly at the city gate.Tears rolled down her cheeks, she knew that if the city gate was broken, her father and elder brother would never come back.

Because they said: the city is where the people are.

The servants all around were frantically packing up the owner's things, and the ambition in their hearts finally made them focus on their own young lady, and filed in one after another, forcing her to ask for precious accessories.Facing the fierce servants, she was as weak as a wounded beast, helpless.

At this time, the jade pendant lights up, and the chairs and benches in the boudoir seem to be controlled by someone, flying down to people.The beatings frightened those murderous servants half to death, and they ran out of the boudoir in a hurry.

Seeing such a scene, Xiuniang was startled and frightened, but when she saw that it was the radiant jade pendant, she calmed down for a while, as if she had the jade pendant to accompany her when she was studying.

It was this time that Xiuniang asked the question for the first time: "Who are you?"

Chapter 5 Escape

There was no echo from Yupei, and there was no other response, only the pages of the Book of Songs on the table fluttered, and a drop of candle wax fell on the Nanfeng's Nan character. She vaguely understood that this was telling her to run south, run to the south.

At this point in the story, Henry Zhang is a little more clear, and he can probably figure out what happened next.A young girl fled to the south after crossing mountains and rivers. This jade pendant, Ren Nian'en, was able to safely come to Renjia Town because of her efforts.

It's just that this strength is not in vain, the jade pendant has spirit, it can raise people, and naturally it can also raise ghosts, if two people never see each other, with this jade pendant, maybe they can live for a long time.It's a pity, Ren Nian'en may have shown up to help a lot along the way, he is a lonely ghost, where did he get so much Yin energy, it all depends on the aura of this jade pendant.

Henry Zhang glanced at the dim jade pendant, followed Xiu Niang's words, sighed and said: "After he has protected you all the way to Renjia Town, I'm afraid there will be no response, no sound, right?"

Xiu Niang nodded with tears in her eyes, knelt on the ground and said to Henry Zhang: "Nianen exhausted his Yin Qi in order to save me, please save him, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay Mr.

Henry Zhang shook his head: "People have yangshou, ghosts have yinshou, when yangshou is exhausted, the soul returns to the underworld, and yinshou is exhausted, either enters reincarnation, or disappears in ashes. Originally, he could have escaped the level of exhaustion of yinshou with this jade pendant , but in order to protect you, he exhausted the aura of the jade pendant along the way. Not now."

Henry Zhang saw at a glance that Ren Nianen's soul body was a ghost whose Yin life was approaching. Even if he used sacrificial incense to temporarily replenish his missing Yin Qi, it was just a drop in the bucket. Either use treasures to prolong his Yin life, or send him Enter reincarnation and reincarnation.However, by chance, he escaped the ghost of the evil, he can only be a wandering ghost, and no one can escape from reincarnation.

When Xiu Niang heard this, she was flustered and saddened, tears welled up in her eyes and fell to the ground, turning into a crystal clear bead.Henry Zhang stretched out his hand to capture the tears in his hand by controlling objects in the air, staring at the teardrop, and muttered to himself: "Ghost teardrops? It's really a deep affection."

People in the world say that ghosts are dangerous and do not shed tears, but this legend is not entirely correct. Ghosts shed tears, fake tears, lie to you, and shed tears of blood to take revenge on those who killed her. Not even tears.Ghosts die in vain, lose their yang energy, have seven souls in their bodies, and three souls fly away. Without the restraint of the seven souls that represent human emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, the perception of emotions will be weak and extreme, so there are few ghosts left behind. The teardrops of true feelings will turn into crystals if they are poured down, which is not bad for cultivation materials.

This Xiu Niang was able to shed ghost tears, which shows that she was really moved.It's just a pity that these two people have never met each other in different ways in their lives, and they know each other but don't meet each other, so close to each other.When Xiu Niang dies as a ghost, Ren Nianen will not have much time left. I am afraid that on the way to the south, he is already in a daze, and the only thing left is to protect Xiu Niang. This is probably because she only knows that his name is Nian En. , but he didn't know that this Renjia Town was his hometown, and this Renjia old house was his home.

Henry Zhang put away the ghost teardrops, and said: "I will help you save him and send him into reincarnation. This ghost teardrop is your reward. After a while, my senior brother bought incense for offering sacrifices to the gods, and I will wake you up Him. He is no longer muddled when he is full of yin, and he should have a lot to say to you and Aunt Li, otherwise he would not have taken you back to Renjia Town all the way."

When Xiu Niang heard Henry Zhang's words, she turned from sadness to joy, and quickly thanked: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness, thank you, sir!"

Aunt Li on the side also burst into tears amidst great sorrow and joy, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, thank you."

More than ten minutes later, Qiu Sheng hurriedly returned to Ren's old house with incense sticks.Henry Zhang took the god-worshiping incense bought by Qiu Sheng, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand. He put his fingers together and turned into a sword. It seemed to make the pattern on the incense brighter, and the talisman paper burned out. Henry Zhang exclaimed: "The sky is clear and the earth is spirited, the heaven and the earth are open, and the divine light of Taishang manifests. The Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, order."

These incense candles and ingots for worshiping gods are naturally lit for ordinary people, but if they are used by monks, the best effect is to consecrate these things first and bless the spells.Henry Zhang lit the three sticks of incense for worshiping the gods, twisted the tip of the incense with his right index finger and thumb, lit the three sticks of incense, and inserted them on the incense burner in the mourning hall.I saw the smoke from the three sticks of incense rising slowly, turning around and slowly drifting towards Ren Nianen.Seeing that things were ready, Henry Zhang said to Xiu Niang and Aunt Li: "He will wake up in a while, and you have a time to burn incense. When the time is up, I will come in and send him into reincarnation."

After all, Henry Zhang pulled Qiusheng out without looking back, and left the mourning hall, leaving only Xiuniang and Aunt Li waiting for Ren Nianen to wake up in the mourning hall.Outside the mourning hall, Qiu Sheng leaned over his head and asked: "Junior Brother, you will really be able to reincarnate in a while, and you will be kind to them? How about we go back and find the master?"

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid he doesn't want to leave." Henry Zhang glanced back at the quiet mourning hall, shook his head and said.It is indeed not difficult for him to save ghosts and send ghosts into reincarnation, but I am afraid that Ren Nian'en will not agree.That Xiuniang had a deep affection for him, but why didn't he treat Xiuniang too?Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to protect her with his life, not to mention that he went all the way south and returned to Renjia Town. I'm afraid he also wanted to see his old mother for the last time, so how could he be willing to go into reincarnation.You must know that although Xiuniang died, her yin life was not over, she just escaped the ghosts and did not go to the underworld.Before the end of Yinshou, one cannot enter reincarnation, even if one enters hell, it is impossible to be reincarnated.

This is also the reason why some cultivators keep ghosts at home after catching ghosts, and save them every day to prevent them from breeding hostility, but they are not sent directly to the underworld.The resentment is not gone, the life is not over, and you have entered the underworld to make trouble, and you will have a share of the karma.Therefore, they are all waited until the time of Yinshou is up, and sent directly to reincarnation. This way, they will earn merit and less cause and effect, which is much more convenient.After all, the yin life is as long as one day in the yang, and one year in the underworld, which is not too long.

Of course, there are exceptions to the above. If you are in a shady position, or have friendship with the ghosts below, it doesn't matter if you send it down directly, or even join a team.

It didn’t take long for the incense to burn, and the door of the mourning hall opened after a while, and Henry Zhang and Qiu Sheng walked in.Seeing Xiuniang, Ren Nianen and Granny Li standing in front of the mourning hall, waiting for him respectfully.Henry Zhang glanced at Ren Nianen who had woken up, his facial features were correct, and there was a bookish look between his brows. He thought he was a student with ideals who joined the Revolutionary Army, but it was a pity that he died on the battlefield at a young age.Henry Zhang saw that although the eyes of the three people were slightly red, they had calmed down their emotions, so he said, "Have you talked about it? Since this is the case, I will send him into reincarnation and reincarnation."

"Thank you sir." Xiu Niang quickly nodded her thanks.

But Ren Nianen who was at the side suddenly interrupted: "Daozhang Zhang, I don't want to reincarnate. I don't want A Niang and A Xiu to be alone again."

Seeing Ren Nianen's determined face, Henry Zhang couldn't help snorting coldly: "You know a lot after sitting for a long time, why? Knowing that Xiuniang's yin life is not over, you can't go to reincarnation, and your yin life has entered reincarnation. Are you going to be reincarnated, afraid you won’t be able to be together? Afraid that your aunt will be old and no one will take care of you? Hmph, then you know that your yin life is over, and the current yin energy is only temporarily stored with the help of offering incense to the gods. It won’t take you a while You'll be out of your wits in time, you know?"

After Henry Zhang scolded, his voice softened a bit, and then he said: "Just you still want to take care of your mother? Isn't she always taking care of you all these years? Don't worry, Xiu Niang, I will receive it in my uncle's Yizhuang , when the time comes, I will send her into reincarnation, if... if there is fate in the next life, you will naturally meet again."

Henry Zhang's face-to-face reprimand made Ren Nianen's resolute face come down, and Nuonuoran didn't dare to speak anymore, but looked at her mother in her 50s in shame who looked like an old woman.

Aunt Li has experienced great sorrow and joy, but now she has calmed down. Seeing Ren Nianen's ashamed appearance, she shook her head kindly, and touched Ren Nianen's head with a smile.Then Granny Li turned her head and said to Henry Zhang: "Little master, I heard people say that this married, whether it is life or death, can be together forever. These two children are suffering. If they are not born together, they will die." If they are not together, it is better for you to arrange a marriage for them to make them both happy."

Youdao means that people become mature when they are old. Although Granny Li is a mortal, she has lived a long time and knows a lot. Not only does she know about the marriage, but she also sees the feelings of the two children in front of her, and wants to fulfill them.

"Marriage?"

Henry Zhang’s eyes flickered, he thought of more than Granny Li knew, ordinary people’s wedding was nothing more than a ceremony, it was a means of cheating and abducting by some magic sticks, and it was used to defraud money.Especially the mingled marriage between the living and the dead, nine times out of ten it is deceitful, really think about the living being in the world of the underworld, and the yin person in the underworld, how can there be a mingling marriage?If two people are in love with each other, the night of the night of the marriage is permitted by the Yin people, and they come to the yang world to take away the new couple. That is a marriage that has been approved by the underworld.

It's just that the Ming marriage mentioned by Granny Li is also called "building the bones" to bury the dead together, welcome the relatives in the yin, and marry in the yin. This kind of Ming marriage will make two people in the underworld marry.What Granny Li wanted was a ceremony to make up for the two regrets.But Henry Zhang thought more, and the ending of lovers getting married was what he wanted to see more. As soon as Granny Li reminded him, he thought of a way to make them stay together, at least in the next life.

Thinking of a way, Henry Zhang did not hesitate, nodded and said to Granny Li and the two ghosts: "I can help you hold the ceremony with the bones, but this is just a thought for you. If you really want to be together in the next life , I still have a way. It’s just that you have to think about it, the fate established in the previous life, and the infidelity in the future life is a bad fate.”

Xiuniang and Ren Nianen looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Although their faces were pale and their smiles were strange, the love in their eyes seemed to be overflowing, and they said, "We are willing, please Daoist Master."

Henry Zhang took out three black locusts with some mist all over his body, handed them to Ren Nianen, and said: "Really Ming marriage is not so casual, and it takes an hour to prepare the dowry. Take the locust, and absorb the yin energy from its body when it can't hold on anymore, and it can last for several days. I will also make good preparations and invite a heavenly marriage for you pair of fateful mandarin ducks."

After Henry Zhang finished speaking, he walked out of the door, and Qiu Sheng followed him out of the Ren family's old house.The preparations for the wedding require the help of Uncle Jiu, otherwise he would be too busy alone.

Chapter 6 Preparations

It was already evening when Henry Zhang and Qiusheng returned to Yizhuang, just in time for dinner.

Seeing that the two returned empty-handed, Uncle Jiu thought it was because he hadn't found a suitable house for a while, so he greeted them for dinner, and said: "Ah Xuan, come to eat first, but I didn't find a suitable house. I'll let Qiusheng come tomorrow." Help you find it."

Henry Zhang nodded with a smile, and did not explain. He and Qiu Sheng had been busy for a day, and they hadn’t had a drop of water.Uncle Jiu simply asked him and Qiu Sheng to eat first, and the four of them sat down and had dinner.

After dinner, Henry Zhang called Uncle Jiu to talk about what happened in Ren’s old house today.
