Liaozhai Great Sage
Page 23
He knew that once he left a certain range, he would not be able to suppress the thousand-year-old tree demon, so the tree demon could use supernatural powers to attract rain clouds, extinguish flames, and make his trunk indestructible. Lose nothing.
But he can't stay here to suppress the millennium tree demon.
Because Li Xiuyuan is still holding Qingmei's body, he can't let Qingmei's body be exposed to the wilderness, this is disrespectful to the deceased.
And what my guard said was right, there are too few people now, even if it is really necessary to cut down the banyan tree, it will take a day or two, and now there is a guard who injured his hand, so the efficiency is even slower.
Instead of this, it would be better to go to Guobei County to mobilize people to come over and work together. At that time, the banyan tree can be cut down without any effort.
"And let you tree demon live one more day." Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."
He didn't want to leave Qingmei's body alone just because he was fighting the tree demon, so he gave up the idea of fighting the banyan tree to the end today.
But if Li Xiuyuan persisted, he would definitely be able to fight.
He has seven orifices and an exquisite heart, and he will suppress any monsters and ghosts by himself, and he can't get close to him. If he fights in the end, he will definitely win.
With a few guards, and the grief and unwillingness in his heart, Li Xiuyuan left the back mountain.
After a few of them left.
Master Liaokong just said something, Amitabha, walked under the huge banyan tree and said: "Sacred tree, sacred tree, today God left you with a glimmer of life, you should take advantage of it, Li benefactor is born noble, if he insists on Kill you, you will die tomorrow, the old monk suggests that you should run away as soon as possible, get out of here, don't be found by Donor Li, otherwise it will be another catastrophe."
"Master, let's not hear that people move to live, and trees move to death. How can this big tree that has grown here for more than 900 years be easily moved? Once it is moved, it will hurt the foundation, and it is not far from death. Then Li Xiuyuan Don't forgive anyone, it's obviously his wife and concubine who stumbled and fell to death under the sacred tree, so how can he blame others."
A pilgrim suddenly said, but saw that his face was blank, his eyes were blank, as if he had been fascinated by something.
Master Liaokong clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what this benefactor said is very true, but what Li benefactor said is true, that woman was a pilgrim and came to worship God, and now she died under the sacred tree, she is a god." If the tree is not well protected, how can it be without responsibilities? Since the sacred tree enjoys the incense offerings of the pilgrims, it should help the pilgrims to eliminate disasters and solve their problems. It's cause and effect."
"However, the sacred tree has been warding off disasters and difficulties for many years, and it also has a lot of merit. Now that God arranges for Li benefactor to leave, it is a hint that the sacred tree will take this opportunity to leave this place to avoid killing."
"Thank you Master for your guidance."
The pilgrim was silent when he heard the words, and finally his eyelids sank, and he gradually closed his eyes, but soon, the pilgrim opened his eyes and immediately recovered his spirit.
The pilgrim rubbed his head and said strangely: "What happened to me just now, why did I seem to fall asleep all of a sudden?"
Master Liaokong couldn't help but sighed helplessly when he saw this, and then said: "What happened in Lanruo Temple just now is not only the misfortune of the girl, but also the misfortune of Lanruo Temple. All monks are not allowed to sleep tonight, and they all go to the Daxiong Hall to chant sutras for salvation. The soul of the girl who died in vain can rest in peace."
"Yes, master." Lanruo Temple presider replied.
The other monks also clasped their hands together and spoke in response.
Chapter 22 Funeral
"Eldest young master, I was lucky enough to bring the golden lock to you, and also arrested the best Doctor Fan in our Guobei County. Now I can treat Miss Qingmei."
Not long after, Tieshan rode a fast horse back and forth and returned to Lanruo Temple.
But when he found Li Xiuyuan, he saw Li Xiuyuan standing in the courtyard of the meditation room, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky calmly.
After hearing Tieshan's voice, Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses and took a look: "There is no need for treatment anymore, Qingmei is dead."
"Dead?" Tieshan was also stunned.
"Dead, already died half an hour ago." Li Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly.
There is a distance between Lanruo Temple and Guobei County, and even calling a doctor won't help.
Dr. Fan shook his head slightly at this moment and said: "The old man just said that the woman's heart was pierced by the incense of Buddha, and the blood flowed continuously. When the old man arrived, the blood was all drained, and there was no way to save her."
"Eldest young master, what should we do now?" Tieshan asked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Naturally, we have to prepare for Miss Qingmei's funeral. First, you take Dr. Fan to help a guard treat his hand, and then take two people back to Guobei County to buy a good coffin, incense candles, paper money, etc. Also prepare... There is one more thing to do, to call my Li family's servants to send a hundred riders, and let them all prepare axes and steel knives, and I will call them tomorrow."
Tieshan was a little puzzled and said, "Young master, if you dispatch a hundred cavalry, I'm afraid the master will disagree."
Baiqi is a very large force in Guobei County. Although the Li family has far more power than this, they seldom dispatch it on such a large scale.
"If my father disagrees, just say that I have an urgent need. I believe my father will understand, go back quickly, and try to finish these two things within today." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes, Eldest Young Master, the younger one will do it now."
Tieshan responded, first took Dr. Fan to help other people heal, then quickly left Lanruo Temple, and returned to Guobei County on a fast horse. Of course, he did not forget to hand over the golden lock to Li Xiuyuan during the process.
Looking at the brocade box in his hand, Li Xiuyuan had a sad look in his eyes.
He sighed softly, turned around and walked into the meditation room.
In the meditation room at this moment, the maid Xiaodie is holding a basin of clear water to wipe the blood stains on the dead body of Qingmei, at the same time, she changed into dry clothes, and even dressed up, so that Miss Qingmei can be clean after leaving, Not a trace of filth.
At first glance, if it wasn't for the fact that her face was so pale without a trace of blood, at this moment Li Xiuyuan would have thought that Qingmei was sleeping soundly at this time, and hadn't died yet.
"Li, Mr. Li."
When Xiaodie saw Li Xiuyuan walking in, she saluted immediately, and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying very sadly just now.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, he walked to Qingmei's body, and opened the brocade box in his hand.
Inside the brocade box is a pair of exquisite long-lived locks made of pure gold. The back of this long-lived gold lock is engraved with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but the front is engraved with the three characters of Li Xiuyuan, which represents whoever wears it. This longevity lock means that she is Li Xiuyuan's woman, who will never be separated from life to life.
Li Xiuyuan took out the golden lock and put it on Qingmei's body.
With a slight clicking sound, the mechanism on the Longevity Golden Lock was triggered, and this golden lock would not be able to be removed for a lifetime without brute force.
"Miss Qingmei, don't worry, I, Li Xiuyuan, will definitely do what I promised you." Li Xiuyuan said seriously.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiaodie who was waiting at the side and said: "Xiaodie, you will follow me from now on, and I will take you back to the Li Mansion. From now on, you will be my personal maid, and I will take good care of you." .”
Xiaodie was moved when she heard it, her nose was sore but she couldn't help crying: "Slave, slave, I thank Mr. Li for your great kindness."
"You don't need to call me Mr. Li anymore. In front of Miss Qingmei, let's pay a formal visit. From now on, you will call me Young Master." Li Xiuyuan said.
"The servants pay homage to the young master."
Xiaodie knelt down in front of Li Xiuyuan with a plop and kowtowed.
This obeisance means that starting from today, Xiaodie is no longer Qingmei's maidservant, but Li Xiuyuan's maidservant. It also means that she is no longer alone, she will have her own family and her own home.
"Get up, you are not allowed to kneel again after kneeling today, my Li family doesn't have so many rules." Li Xiuyuan helped him up.
"Servant, thank you young master." Xiaodie stood up and saluted.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Continue to sort out Miss Qingmei's remains. I have ordered my servants to prepare for the funeral. Soon, Miss Qingmei will be buried."
Fluttershy nodded.
Around dusk, Tieshan brought people to Lanruo Temple again.
