A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

Qi Heyi said unhappily, "Those girls are already dead, they are just shells. Just burn them. Wasn't cremation popular in the last century?"

Sheng Zhiyu said: "The bodies of these girls may be of great use."

Qi Heyi looked at Sheng Zhiyu in confusion, not knowing what she was up to.

By now the sky was completely bright and the village was bustling again.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" The aunt next door was the first to notice something was wrong and shouted loudly.

Soon, some curious people came running over and saw the tragic situation in the main room.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The timid women were frightened and screamed, one after another.

Sheng Zhiyu had a headache from the noise and wondered why Grandma Chen hadn't come over yet.

"What's going on here?" After a while, Grandma Chen came in with a cane.

"Grandma Chen, please take a look! My son Alan was supposed to go to worship the goddess of flowers today, but something unlucky like this happened. What should we do?" an old lady in a flowery gown shouted in a hoarse voice.

Next to her stood a delicate girl, who had already changed into sacrificial attire. She must be Alan, the one she mentioned, who was going to worship the goddess of flowers.

Granny Chen was not surprised by the death of the Gu couple. Instead, she looked at Sheng Zhiyu and Gu Xingzhou and asked, "Were you two okay last night?"

Sheng Zhiyu blinked his eyes and said with lingering fear: "Thanks to the talisman you gave me, I pasted it on the door, and the ghost of Dayajie didn't come in."

Granny Chen looked at Sheng Zhiyu suspiciously.

Sheng Zhiyu's acting is very realistic and there are no flaws to be found.

She looked at the other three people again.

Gu Xingzhou had a look of indifference, Chi Yan was confused, and Qi Heyi's eyes were clear and stupid, and it was impossible to tell anything.

Finally, Granny Chen said, "That talisman helped you ward off disaster, but it's no longer useful. Give it back to me, an old woman."

Sheng Zhiyu was prepared. He took out the talisman and handed it over with a smile.

Granny Chen checked the talisman and found that the talisman that was originally used to summon spirits had turned into one that could drive away ghosts: "Do you always carry this talisman with you?"

Sheng Zhiyu said: "I was bumped by a beggar and fell to the ground, but he helped me pick it up."

"What kind of beggar is he?" Granny Chen asked solemnly.

Sheng Zhiyu said: "He was just an ordinary beggar, dirty all over. I never saw him again."

After a long while, Granny Chen spoke: "It's good that you're okay. Alan will worship the flower god at noon. It's really unlucky for something like this to happen.

I'll give you some talismans to stick on the door to ward off evil spirits. Wait until Alan successfully gives birth, then I'll preside over the funeral.

Ayu is also going to worship the flower god today, so let's do it together with Alan's ceremony. I have some new clothes at home that I can give you to change into."

After that, she took out a few talismans from her bosom and handed them to Sheng Zhiyu.

"Thank you, Granny Chen!" Sheng Zhiyu said happily.

Alan's mother was unhappy: "Grandma Chen, Ayu's parents just died, and he is unlucky. He will pass the bad luck to our Alan!"

But Granny Chen was very determined: "The Flower God is not afraid of bad luck, Ayu, don't you think so?"

Sheng Zhiyu nodded: "I'll listen to Grandma Chen!"

Granny Chen stared at her for a while, and when she found nothing wrong, she looked at Alan and asked, "Did you bathe three times according to the rules?"

Alan nodded timidly: "Just waiting to worship the flower god."

It can be seen that she really hopes to be chosen by the flower god.

Gu Xingzhou was a little worried when he saw Sheng Zhiyu was also going to worship the flower god, but Sheng Zhiyu had no intention of resisting, so he could only go along with her.

Seeing the three men following closely, Granny Chen was a little dissatisfied: "I'm taking A Yu to take a shower and change clothes, why are you three men following me?"

Gu Xingzhou said calmly: "I only have this one sister, so I have to keep a close eye on her."

Granny Chen looked at Qi Heyi and Chi Yan: "What about them?"

Qi Heyi blinked his eyes: "I am Ayu's boyfriend!"

Sheng Zhiyu: "..."

Granny Chen looked at Qi Heyi suspiciously: "Does this girl like you?"

Qi Heyi was angry: "Why do you look down on me? What's wrong with my appearance?"

Granny Chen looked at him for a while and said, "He looks good, but he doesn't seem very smart."

"Then let's go back." Chi Yan was afraid that too many people following would arouse suspicion, so he pulled Qi Heyi away.

After all, with Gu Xingzhou around, Sheng Zhiyu wouldn't be able to make any mistakes.

Seeing that Gu Xingzhou insisted on following, Grandma Chen stopped persuading him and led the two to her yard.

As soon as she entered the door, Granny Chen noticed something was wrong: "Someone has been to this yard!"

Sheng Zhiyu was a little surprised. They cleared all traces when they left. How did Grandma Chen know that someone had been there?

But she managed to keep calm and pretended it was her first time there: "Wow, there are so many flowers in this yard."

Granny Chen paused for a moment and said, "I am old now, and I like to plant flowers."

"This peony is so beautiful, can I pick one?" Sheng Zhiyu pretended to pick one.

"No!" Grandma Chen made a sharp noise, which scared Sheng Zhiyu.

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a bit extreme, Granny Chen coughed and said, "These flowers are in full bloom. If I pick them, I might anger the flower god."

"Forget it." Sheng Zhiyu stopped picking the flowers.

At present, it seems that Chen Po's suspicion of her has been dispelled.

"Come with me here, take a bath three times first to keep yourself clean." Granny Chen led Sheng Zhiyu to the backyard. Seeing Gu Xingzhou still following, her eyebrows jumped, "Even if you are her brother, you don't have to follow her to take a bath."

Gu Xingzhou said: "I will stay outside and not go in."

The corners of Grandma Chen's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end she was unable to do anything with Gu Xingzhou, so she snorted coldly and left.

Sheng Zhiyu went into the inner room and found a gourd ladle in the water tank.

The so-called three baths probably means pouring water on your body with a gourd ladle.

About half an hour later, Sheng Zhiyu came out with half-wet hair and changed into the pure white sacrificial clothes prepared by Grandma Chen.

Granny Chen stared at her for a long while, her eyes full of amazement: "Ayu is really the most beautiful girl in this sacrificial dress."

Sheng Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Mrs. Chen, you are too kind. Let's go worship the flower god."

Granny Chen nodded with satisfaction and took Sheng Zhiyu towards the ancestral hall.

Alan had already arrived at the temple. She was dressed very beautifully, but Sheng Zhiyu's arrival overshadowed her. Naturally, she was very dissatisfied.

Alan's mother was also very unhappy, but Sheng Zhiyu was brought here by Grandma Chen, so she couldn't say much.

The outside of the ancestral hall was already crowded with villagers who came to watch the fun, including Qi Heyi and Chi Yan.

Qi Heyi was a little nervous: "Brother Chiyan, what if Senior Sister is really chosen by this unlucky Flower God?"

Chi Yan was also a little worried, because he knew from Qi Heyi what happened to the chosen girls: "Let's see the situation first."

The first to offer sacrifices was Alan, who knelt on the cushion under the statue of the goddess of flowers and prayed sincerely.

After a while, the secret compartment under the statue of the flower god popped out, containing a bright forsythia.

"He's chosen, our Alan is chosen!" Alan's mother shouted excitedly.
