Rolling Red Dust(13)

Are you going to be a mortal couple with Xu Xuan for the rest of your life?

Lin Yutong asked her: "...Isn't Xu Xuan a good person from the ninth generation?" If he was a good person from the ninth generation, how could he be a mortal couple with you in the next life?

Madam Bai suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Yutong, "What do you mean by this, madam?"

What does this mean? It doesn’t actually mean anything. It’s just a question, “Isn’t it?” Or maybe he remembered it wrong? Lin Yutong was really a little confused.

The white lady lowered her head: "... Madam, you really know everything. Yes, the official is a good person in the ninth generation."

"Then if I do good deeds in my last life, I will be able to ascend?" There is really no point in asking. Lin Yutong really doesn't understand these things very well, so she just thinks it's a strange thing and is asking about it here.

White Snake nodded slowly, with a look of pain on her face, and after a long time she said, "Yes! As long as officials continue to do good in this life, they will naturally be promoted."

Lin Yutong looked at White Snake a few more times and asked again, "Can you achieve enlightenment within a hundred years?"

Who can make this guarantee?

The white lady was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "What is God's will, how can I... possibly know?"

oh!

I do not know!

She frowned, and didn't know much about their kind of cultivation. Therefore, she really couldn't easily draw conclusions about White Snake. She just thought that if Xu Xuan was really a good person for nine generations, then it seemed that there was

So in one sentence, what does that sentence say - One person can attain enlightenment and a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven!

Putting this word in such a world, it means literally. This is also called ascending from the house! Even chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven, let alone wives and servants? Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is some malicious speculation. She dare not

If she continued to think like this, she felt that if she continued to think like this, the world would really change beyond recognition. Therefore, she told herself that she should not be anxious about this kind of thing and just take her time to look at it.

Seeing Madam Bai's anxious expression, Lin Yutong knew that she couldn't ask any more questions. She was in a hurry, so she said, "You're busy. Again, as long as you don't hurt innocent people, it's up to you."

Your heavenly law allows you to exist. Then no one can control it, right?

Madam Bai bowed to Lin Yutong again, and then left with Xu Xuan. Xiao Qing said goodbye to Xiao Li in the pond. For a moment, she actually envied Xiao Li. It was like Xiao Li was so worried.

Practicing in this kind of environment without distracting thoughts is extremely beneficial to your own cultivation.

But she was envious, so she walked around in the pond, saluted Lin Yutong, and then left on her own. In fact, the master and his wife were very good people. They allowed themselves to come and go freely and never interfered.

The white lady took Xu Xuan away and kept thinking about her wife's words: Yes! The official is a good person of the ninth generation. As long as he does good deeds and accumulates virtues in this life and dies in good health, he will naturally ascend.

Then looking at the officer's pale complexion, she closed her eyes hard.

Xiao Qing came back and saw her sister facing Xu Xuan on the bed, her face full of pain, "Sister...what's wrong?"

White Snake waved her hand: "It's okay!" She gritted her teeth and said: "Remember, light seven lamps..."

Xiao Qing said hurriedly: "Sister, do you still want to take risks?"

Lady Bai held Xiao Qing's hand: "The official can't die like this. Otherwise, this evil will be a big one. Remember what I said..."

"What if Mr. Gu and the others find out?" Xiao Qing glanced at the next door, "Otherwise, let's find an empty house again..."

The white lady shook her head, showing a somewhat miserable look: "Let's stop it for now. After this incident, I have to give you an explanation." After saying that, she patted Xiaoqing's hand heavily, and as soon as she stepped away, the person disappeared.

.

Xiao Qing was stunned: Explain? Explain what?

She thought about it in her heart, but did not dare to delay, and lit seven life lamps. The life lamps swayed in the cold night, as if they would be extinguished at any time. She did not dare to be careless, and summoned the five ghosts to guard them.

These life lamps.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were not at all curious about how the White Snake did this. It was just a story that 'moved the sky, moved the earth, but couldn't move you at all'.

I've been wandering around a lot recently, and I've been wandering around for quite a while. I've looked at every village and every town. Tomorrow, the fourth master plans to go a little further.

Of course Lin Yutong will accompany you.

Early the next morning, the couple put on the simplest clothes as before, and then got into an ox cart parked at the door, which was their means of transportation.

As for the people following him, Li Gongfu brought two more people with him this time. They sat on the shaft and rear of the bullock cart, protecting Lin Yutong and Fourth Master inside, and then staggered on the road.

Fourth Master’s destination this time is the nearby mountains and forests. There are many hunters in the mountains and forests, and these people call them savages.

These people belong to black households and are not recognized by the court. For various reasons, they are scattered in the mountains and forests and make a living by hunting. Life is much harder than imagined. It is said that most people will not live longer than thirty years old. They do not give

The court pays taxes, so they cannot go down the mountain to trade. If such people come down from the mountain, the court will arrest them.

This is of course inappropriate.

Whether a county belongs to an upper county or a lower county, there is a rigid indicator of population.

In the fourth master's opinion, it is necessary to ask all the hunters scattered in the mountains to come down and find a way to make them live and work in peace and contentment.

After coming out of the city and walking for about an hour, Li Gongfu pointed in the direction: "Master, I have been here before. Look at the mountain on the back. There are many villages scattered at the foot of the mountain. On the mountain

There are many savages, and they often bring their prey to the villagers in exchange for food, cloth, salt and iron. If you want to know something, I think you should go there first and have a look..."

Then let's go.

Riding in a rickety cart is really not a comfortable thing. Looking at the mountain is like a dead horse, let alone riding in an ox cart. You can still see the smoke at the foot of the mountain, but it took a full hour to walk.

, there is no place yet.

"Is it so far?" Lin Yutong wondered, why can't he seem to reach the end?

Fourth Master frowned and said nothing for a while, "We'll see later."

But this wait is just another hour.

The direction of the cooking smoke is still the direction of the cooking smoke. The size of the house, it looked how big it was just now, and it still looks big now.

The two of them felt a little bit in their hearts. This situation seemed to be wrong again.

There are some things that can't hurt them, even up close. However, these magic spells are cast in front of them. As long as they don't hurt them, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master can only stare.

After walking for two hours, it seemed like he was standing still. Obviously, something was preventing him and Fourth Master from getting closer.

The expressions of the two of them changed, and Li Gongfu also noticed something was wrong, and the sweat immediately started to fall on his back: "...What's going on...I've been here before, and logically speaking, I should have arrived long ago."

We can't go any further now, so we have to stop for now.

The fourth master pulled Lin Yutong out of the car first and told Li Gongfu: "Set up the cart and let's go on foot."

ah?

Walk?

Okay! You’ve said so, then let’s go.

But as soon as they left, they immediately realized that something was wrong. After a cup of tea, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master actually left the others behind. Lin Yutong looked back and saw Li Gongfu and others, almost running to chase after him and Fourth Master.

Damn, my hair is wet with sweat. It can be seen that they are trying their best. But the distance between them and Lin Yutong seems to be getting farther and farther.

Moreover, their voices calling for adults gradually became quieter.

This means that they can't break this spell, and this spell can't stop Fourth Master and Lin Yutong. This is to let themselves and Fourth Master retreat before the difficulties.

Is Fourth Master that kind of person?

What's the big deal if you use your feet to walk through the ditches and ridges?

Therefore, the fourth master shouted to Li Gongfu and others: "Just go back to the government office and wait."

I can’t even catch up!

One of the guards said: "It looks like there is a monster!"

No! How else could we explain this?

I definitely wouldn’t dare to reply. What if something happens to the master?

So, a few people sat around the bullock cart and could only wait.

As for Lin Yutong, following Fourth Master, he could only walk forward. The road was full of potholes and there were fields on both sides.

Lin Yutong said: "Do you need that talisman?"

There's that kind of speed-walking talisman.

Fourth Master shook his head: "It's useless!" If you really want to see your sincerity, then let him see it.

If you don't need it, don't use it. It doesn't matter if you walk. I walked along the country road for more than an hour, and the village was right in front of me.

The village is a natural village, with some farmhouses scattered in twos and threes. They are all mud houses with thatched roofs. Some urchins are playing in the village. Yellow dogs, reeds and chickens are very popular.

Under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, old men in twos and threes were sitting on the rocks under the tree. When they saw two strangers, they couldn't help but look at them more: "Whose house is this husband going to?"

Fourth Master simply sat over and talked to these old men.

Lin Yutong, on the other hand, looked at this large locust tree that four or five people could surround. She saw that there were many red cloth strips and tassels hanging on the locust tree. This custom is found in many places.

This is called a wishing tree. Judging from the dense hangings on this tree, I don’t know how many years this thing has been there.

Lin Yutong is now a little wary of this kind of things that are old. Maybe he is a spirit.

She was looking around the tree when the Fourth Master called out: "Madam——"

lady?

Okay! This is the correct name outside.

Lin Yutong hesitated for a moment and hurried over. The fourth master said: "Let's go to my father-in-law's house first."

This is the most decent-looking old man wearing it. I'm afraid he is either an upright person or a village elder.

The old man pointed to the house facing the big locust tree: "My little man's family lives there, it's convenient."

Lin Yutong agreed and followed. This was a house with blue bricks, big tiles and a black door. She had never seen this house before. She looked back and saw that the door of this house was facing the big locust tree. In her sight,

It should have just blocked this place.

But in most houses, trees are not allowed to be planted directly opposite the door. Especially this kind of large locust tree.

But this house happened to be facing a big locust tree, but it lived the best life. You can tell just by looking at the house.
