I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"I can't say for sure, anyway, Yan has long been used to living in the world. But no matter what, Yan will find a way to get rid of the old Black Mountain demon sooner or later."

"Count in the little monk."

Shifang immediately joined in the fun and continued.

While drinking and chatting, the sky darkened before we knew it.

Hundreds of female ghosts came to the yard one after another and surrounded them, looking at the three of them.

For a while, the fragrant wind hits people, what a spectacular scene!

The three of Gu Ming can still hold their minds. If it were an ordinary man sitting here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to last half a minute.

Because, the coldness of these more than a hundred female ghosts gathered together is enough to make an ordinary person freeze to death.

Where do you still have any perverted thoughts?

Just in response to an old saying: You can only watch from a distance but not play with it.

"Forget it, let's drink again when we have a chance."

Yan Chixia subconsciously glanced at the female ghosts around, couldn't help sighing, then got up and started making preparations.

It doesn't take much effort to send one or two, but if you send hundreds of them at a time, you have to set up an altar.

Throughout the whole process, Gu Ming has been focusing on observing, trying not to miss a single detail.

Of course, these are not the achievements of a glance, it is impossible to do it at a glance.But it doesn't hurt to know about it, and you can always learn something more or less.

Yan Chixia didn't hide her secrets, and patiently explained in the process of arranging the altar, including what kind of talismans to use, what kind of spells to use, and so on.

After everything was ready, after waiting for about half an hour, midnight finally arrived.

"Okay, the time has come, you all stand in the circle and don't move around"

Yan Chixia commanded a group of female ghosts to take their positions, and then began to send the soul away.

Although Shifang will also send souls, the methods of Buddhism and Taoism are different, so they can only stand aside and watch, and they can hardly help.

The whole process lasted for more than an hour before it ended smoothly.

"You're done!"

Yan Chixia seemed a little tired, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her brow.

"Amitabha, what Yan Daxia has done can be said to have immeasurable merit and virtue, so good!"

But Yan Chixia sighed: "Yan would rather not have such a merit."

Shifang froze for a moment, then nodded as if realizing something.

If one or two are okay, sending away hundreds of female ghosts at once, thinking about their life experiences and encounters, is really embarrassing.

The next morning.

Yan Chixia took out more than a dozen Taoist talismans and handed them to Gu Ming.

"Put these talismans on the courtyard wall outside the temple when you have time. It can deter some little demons and ghosts, making them dare not cross the boundary easily."

"Thank you, Master Yan!"

Gu Ming accepted the Dao Talisman and thanked him sincerely.

"It's a small matter, don't worry about it"

Afterwards, Yan Chixia explained the usage of the Taoist talisman.

After confessing, he said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, Yan is going to leave, and I will visit the house when I have the opportunity."

"No problem, I will prepare some good wine and treats next time."

At this time, Shifang couldn't help but ask Yan Chixia, "Where is Yan Chixia planning to go?"

Yan Chixia thought for a while: "Maybe I have to go back to Guanzhong first."

"Guanzhong? Hehe, I haven't been there yet, why don't I go with you?"

"Haha, why not?"

Hearing this, Shi Fang beamed with joy, and said to Gu Ming: "The little monk left with Hero Yan, let's have a drink together when we have a chance."

Gu Ming smiled and cupped his hands: "No problem, I wish you both a smooth journey."

After Yan Chixia and Shifang left, Gu Ming made a detour to his own slope, and stuck amulets on the temple wall according to the method Yan Chixia described.

The amazing thing is that the Taoist talisman will automatically sink into the wall as soon as it touches the wall, so there is no need to worry about someone taking the talisman away or being exposed to wind and rain.

After posting all the way, there were two left in the end, Gu Ming carefully put them away for backup.

In this way, his heart is much more at ease.

The tree demon has already been exterminated, the old black mountain demon will not leave the customs for a short time, and the female ghost in Lanruo Temple has also been sent to the underworld, so there are no ghosts and ghosts to make trouble again.

Even if there are, there are these Taoist talismans.

Therefore, Gu Ming strode back to the county town to arrange manpower to continue to open up wasteland, and strive to break ground as soon as possible.

In just a few days, all the sloping land and fertile fields have been reclaimed, and the next step is the main event: construction.

However, Gu Ming didn't worry too much about this, because the foreman and workers had someone to help him make arrangements. He only needed to check the other party's construction progress regularly, and then pay according to the progress.

Then, it entered a period of quiet days.

Gu Ming occasionally visits the study or the construction site, and spends most of his time at home reading and writing in preparation for the next year's exam.

Of course, when I have free time, I also started to write the third volume of A Dream of Red Mansions slowly.

The second volume has already been written before, but Gu Ming plans to press it first, and then hand it over to Ma Yun for printing after the Chinese New Year.

After all, the two manuscripts of Farewell My Concubine and The Legend of the White Snake were handed in not long ago, so the speed really needs to be slowed down so as not to shock the world too much.

a few days later.

In the afternoon, Nie Hongshu walked into the courtyard with a happy face.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Nie Xiaoqian hurried forward to meet her.

Nie Hongshu glared: "What? Judging from your tone, you don't welcome Daddy?"

"How can there be, people are just asking in passing"

"Hmph, you girl was abducted by the arm before you got married"

"Father-in-law!"

Gu Ming heard the movement and hurried out of the room to say hello.

Nie Hongshu immediately smiled and said with a hearty smile, "Hahaha, my son-in-law, I am here today to bring you good news."

"Oh? Father-in-law, please take a seat, Xiaoqian, where is Yu'er?"

"Yu'er went shopping, why don't I go and buy some appetizers when I come back."

Nie Hongshu waved his hand: "No, you also sit down and listen to the good news, and let Yu'er cook two dishes at will."

Nie Xiaoqian sat down as she said, and urged: "Daddy, tell me quickly, what good news?"

"Master Chen sent me a letter, saying that the performance of Yan Changqing's troupe in the palace was a great success, and was highly appreciated by all the empresses in the harem.

Even the emperor watched two performances, and rewarded the theater troupe in public, and the empress dowager and empress also gave rewards respectively.

In this way, Yan Changqing's troupe became famous in the capital."

"Great!"

Hearing these words, Gu Ming couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

"Master Chen said in the letter that Yan Changqing's troupe entered the palace to perform the two plays of Du Shiniang and Romance of the West Chamber.

Moreover, the capital has already spread the word that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager liked your book very much, and then I heard that Yan Changqing compiled an opera based on the content of the book, and it was quite popular.

Therefore, this will be called into the palace.

At present, many people in the capital have heard the news and tried to find a way to buy these two books."

Hearing these words, Gu Ming immediately said: "Then I have to inform Brother Yun as soon as possible, and let him print it as soon as possible, so as to take this opportunity to open up the situation in the capital."

"Well, you can write a letter now, and I will send someone to send it to Yuhang Mansion as soon as possible later."

"Then please father-in-law, please sit down for a while."

Gu Ming immediately got up and wrote a letter to Ma Yun, and then handed it to Nie Hongshu.

Within two days, Yan Changqing also wrote

The situation mentioned in the letter is similar to what Nie Hongshu relayed.

At present, his troupe is still performing in the palace.Moreover, the queen mother also sent a message to let Yan Changqing's troupe stay in the capital for development, so that it can be called into the palace in the future.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to becoming half of the royal troupe, which is a great honor.

Therefore, Yan Changqing was naturally grateful, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude in the letter.

After reading the letter, Gu Ming was overwhelmed with relief, and immediately replied with a letter of blessing

Chapter 152 Sad Madam Su...

A few days later, Ning Caichen finally returned.

Judging by his appearance, he is really in high spirits and complacent, as if he has won the number one prize.

"Hey, something seems wrong"

Dong Sheng looked at Ning Caichen with a strange expression and muttered to himself.

He Yongliang took Ning Caichen's hand affectionately and said: "Caichen, I haven't seen you for so long, but your complexion is much better. To be honest, do you have any secret recipe?"

The last few words were almost asked by ear.

"What secret recipe?"

Ning Caichen looked puzzled and innocent.

"Everyone is a man, you know"

Ning Caichen was not as cunning as He Yongliang and Dong Sheng, he blinked, with an expression that a young student should know something.

"Hey, isn't this Ning Xiucai? Why are you alone, where is your sweetheart?"

Su Ling also came over, subconsciously looked around while asking.

"This cough, it's a bit inconvenient to take her with you"

"Caichen, let's take a walk and take you upstairs for a visit."

He Yongliang and Dong Sheng couldn't help but drag Ning Caichen to the backyard.

In a room on the second floor, Dong Sheng closed the door behind his back

"What do you want to do?"
