This is just an ordinary guest room, with a small bed, a table, a chair, and an oil lamp on the wall.
Although the furnishings were crude, the inside of the house was cleaned quite cleanly.
Fortunately, when Wu Geng left, the old farmer gave him a new quilt, otherwise he would have to sleep on a hard bed on 617 tonight!
Wu Geng spread out the quilt, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the roll of plain brocade and began to absorb the literary spirit in it.
Su Jin recorded some folk customs and sacrificial activities of the ancient people who used to live in Qingyang City. It is somewhat similar to the nature of a history book. The literary spirit that Geng has absorbed is like a drop in the bucket, and there is still a lot left!
After these few days of cultivating Sujin Wenqi and absorbing the wishes of all living beings at the altar of sacrifices in Baihe Town, Wu Geng felt that his Wenqi had accumulated to a critical value, and he might be able to successfully break through to the condensed stele tonight double.
Wu Geng began to practice with concentration and concentration, unknowingly the time was passing by every minute and every second.
I don't know what time it is, the bright moon has already moved to the middle of the sky, the window is bright, but the moonlight can't shine into the house!
There was obviously no wind in the house, but Wu Geng's copper oil lamp suddenly went out.
When the darkness came, Wu Geng felt the difference in the light even though his eyes were closed. He opened his eyes and the room was pitch black, but through the window he could see the bright and clean courtyard outside.
Wu Geng thought to himself, if the light is off, it should be off. He reflected that he didn't need to read the words or pictures, but just felt the literary spirit on Su Jin. It made no difference whether there was a light or not.
Chapter 228 Disappeared
Just as he was about to close his eyes, a black figure in the shape of a human suddenly appeared outside the window.
The black shadow stood in front of the window, and the moonlight reflected the shadow on the window. According to the hair condition, it could be seen that it was a woman's figure.
Wu Geng was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Who is outside?"
But just after Wu Geng yelled, the figure didn't move around, but suddenly disappeared!
"There won't be ghosts, right? What's the situation?" Wu Geng couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Although he didn't believe in ghosts, the extinguished oil lamp in the house and the sudden shadow outside the window made him uneasy for a moment!
While thinking, the shadow just now appeared outside the window again, standing there motionless.
"Could it be the shadow of the trees outside?" Wu Geng thought, but immediately vetoed it. When he came in just now, he saw that there was not a single tree in the south courtyard, and all the trees were planted in the back garden.
Wu Geng wanted to go out and have a look, but he was afraid that when he opened the door, he would see something in the southeast that he shouldn't be looking at. Wouldn't he be frightened to death?
In the end, Wu Geng decided to go out and take a look. He wrote two words with a brush and held them in his hand.
One is written "Subduing Demons and Subduing Demons", and the other is written "Gods and Ghosts Eliminate Changes"!
Wu Geng got up and walked towards the door, the figure outside the window seemed to sense that Wu Geng came to open the door, and disappeared again!
"Crench!"
The door is opened!
Wu Geng walked out with two letters in his hand.
The courtyard was full of brilliance, and everything was silent. Where is there any figure?
Not a single hair.
"Who is sneaking around? Get out!" Wu Geng shouted loudly.
There was no sound, no answer.
Wu Geng was a little annoyed, could it be that the people in the Yuan Mansion already knew his whereabouts and sent someone to follow him?
Shouldn't it?
"Meow!"
Suddenly there was a cat meowing, Wu Geng looked for the sound, and the shadow of a black cat on the opposite roof ran across the ridge and went to the other side.
Wu Geng's heart moved, "Could it be the evil woman Douya? By the way, it must be Douya. She must be annoyed by the day's affairs, and deliberately came to this compound to play tricks and scare people"¨!"
Thinking of this, Wu Geng's tightly hanging heart finally let go, and he turned around to enter the house.
But the moment he turned around, he was so frightened that his soul jumped out of his wits. If it weren't for the two words in his hand, he would have been scared to pee on the spot.
Standing at the door of the house was a naked baby, who seemed to be the size of a newborn, with half of the umbilical cord hanging on his stomach, but he could stand up.
His face was covered in blood, and it was still dripping onto the ground.A pair of eyeballs disappeared, leaving behind two horrible blood holes, which looked particularly creepy!
The moment Wu Geng turned around and saw Yingtong, that Yingtong also looked at Wu Geng with a pair of blood-holed eyes, with a very resentful expression on his face, he opened his mouth sharply and grabbed Wu Geng with both hands.
The gaping mouth was full of fangs, just like a blood baby!
In a hurry, Wu Geng threw out the pair of words in his hand, which was the one that said "Subduing Demons and Subduing Demons".
The blood infant jumped onto the calligraphy and painting, and the calligraphy and painting suddenly emitted a burst of golden light. The blood infant let out a loud "squeak", landed his hands on the ground like a cat, jumped up and down and disappeared!
"Wuwu, give back my life! Give back my life!" At the same time, there was a sobbing and bitter cry from behind Wu Geng, and the voice should be a woman.
Without even looking at it, Wu Geng threw the other handwriting behind his back, and the words "Shengui Piyi" suddenly shone with holy golden light in the night sky.
A shadow dressed in red flickered away and disappeared!
Wu Geng was startled, hurried into the house and closed the door.Without further ado, he took out his brush and dipped it in gold powder, and hurriedly wrote the scriptures of the "Heart Sutra" silently on the doors and windows.
Wu Geng is not a Taoist priest in Maoshan, and he doesn't know how to catch ghosts.Nor is it Zhong Kui, who has no magic power to catch ghosts.He could only rely on the words he knew to do simple resistance, and he didn't know if more dangerous things would happen later, so he should write the "Heart Sutra" first.
Buddhist scriptures are the most useful for dealing with evil spirits, but it is a pity that Wu Geng does not have any Buddhist supernatural powers, so he can only rely on the power of these obscure words!
Wu Geng must figure this out, but not now, I guess we have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over.
As the moon moved southward, Wu Geng was so sleepy, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The golden rooster crows at dawn, and the purple air comes from the east.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th is finally here!
Before Wu Geng got up, there was a knock on the door outside the house. Wu Geng was so scared that he sat up and thought that the ghost was coming again.
But Bean Sprout's voice came from outside the door, "The sun is drying your ass, and you're still lying on the bed and can't get up. Why don't you participate in the mid-autumn festival!"
Wu Geng rubbed his eyes, and his mind suddenly cleared up a lot. It turned out that it was dawn and the bean sprouts had already been found.
"Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon!"
Two minutes later, Wu Geng opened the door, and Bean Sprout was standing outside the door with an unfriendly face.
Wu Geng said embarrassingly, "... how did you... get in?"
Wu Geng obviously locked the gate of the house.
Bean Sprout snorted coldly, "Can a broken gate stop me?"
Wu Geng is speechless, even if you can't stop you, you shouldn't come in over the wall, right?
Bean Sprout suddenly showed a wicked smile, "How did you sleep last night? Is the new house comfortable?"
Um~
From Bean Sprout's tone, she knew that this house was haunted?Then she still bought this house, didn't she deliberately punish herself?
"It's okay! That's right, this house is too big, and I'm alone in it, so it's a bit deserted! Why don't you move here tonight, the old farmer only has two or three thatched huts, and I have a lot of houses here... "
Before Wu Geng could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Dou Sprout, "Did you pee out of fear last night? Coward!"
"You... You know that this house is haunted, but you still let me live alone? You deliberately..." Wu Geng was a little annoyed.
Bean Sprout snorted (Wang Liao's) and said, "So what if you have intentions? You can't even deal with a few little devils, and you still want to join the garden? You coward!"
"Who wants to join the garden? I don't care about you breaking the garden! Who is a coward? I, Wu Geng, a manly man, am I afraid of ghosts? It's a joke!" Wu Geng also argued with me endlessly, trying to save the face of some men.
But Bean Sprout gave a disdainful "cut", turned around and left!
Wu Geng hurriedly followed behind, and rushed to the martial arts school in the city.
Many people have gathered in the martial arts school, and everyone is already looking forward to today's event.People keep coming from all directions, shoulder to shoulder, crowded with people!
Following the entry of the great families and mansions, the Lord of Shangguan Yulou also stepped onto the high platform.
"Everyone, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the biennial Mid-Autumn Festival will be held today. My riverside city is rich and the people are strong, and the weather is good. In order to celebrate the festival, all families can participate in this event!".
Chapter 229 There is a good show
"The grand event is still divided into four items, namely the competition of force, the competition of financial resources, the competition of operation and the competition of literary talent. All households participating in the grand event can show their prowess and show their talents. The one with the highest total score in the last four items is this top of the list."
"As in the past, if you win the top spot, you will get the right to mine gold mines for two years! A certain Shangguan hereby wishes all participating households a good ranking. Okay, the grand event begins!"
After Shangguan City Lord finished his speech, General He Yiwuhe, who was in charge of guarding the city, stood up to preside over the meeting!
"The first item of the conference is a financial competition!"
"This year's financial competition is the same as in previous years. It is still the city lord's mansion that puts out five southeast auctions. All the masters and householders, it's time to show off your strong financial resources!"
General He Yiwu beckoned, and a graceful young girl came out, holding a black wooden tray covered with black velvet.
All eyes below were focused on the black wooden tray, and they began to guess what was in it?
The girl uncovered the black cloth on the plate, revealing the objects inside. It turned out to be a piece of southeast tree root, which was yellow or black, and looked a bit like ginger.
None of the people present had seen it before, and they began to discuss it loudly. They didn't know where the Lord Shangguan got this treasure, and it seemed that it should be very valuable.
General He Yi 620 Wu introduced, "This treasure is called Cistanche, which was rewarded by His Majesty the Lord to Shangguan City Lord in the past. Excellent tonic!"
"The bidding auction starts now, the starting price is [-] gold dollars!"
Three hundred gold dollars?Wu Geng thought it was too cheap, right?In the previous life, the authentic cistanche produced in Inner Mongolia cost more than 300 yuan a catty?
But it's normal to think about it, because it is a bidding auction, the price will definitely be raised to sky-high prices soon.
Sure enough, someone asked the price immediately, "I'll offer four hundred gold dollars."
"I'll offer five hundred gold dollars!"
"I will offer eight hundred gold dollars!"
At this time, a wealthy young man waving a paper fan shouted directly, "I will offer you two thousand gold dollars!"
The crowd suddenly exploded. It turned out that this son was Lin Tian, the young master of the Lin family. The Lin family was a second-rate family, second only to the four first-rate families of Lu, Yuan, Ma, and Gou.
Some people praised Mr. Lin Tian for his wealth, while others called him blind. What's the use of raising the price so high all of a sudden?In the end, the four who are not from other first-class families will take away the baby.
Many people who are not used to it secretly scold Lin Tian for pretending to be coercive, but Lin Tian likes this kind of pretending, what can others do?
Sure enough, after Lin Tian called for the price, the Gou family immediately called for the price, "My Gou family is willing to offer five thousand gold dollars!"
Two thousand soared directly to five thousand, where did the middle three thousand go?Are these aristocratic families so arrogant when they display their financial power?
Wu Geng was really shocked to see it!
The Gou family raised the price to 5000 gold dollars, and the faces of the three heads of the Lu family, Ma family, and Yuan family immediately became longer than the faces of donkeys.
"Gou Ganhui, the old Dongnan, deliberately drove up the price of Dongnan that he couldn't get, and wanted to kill us. It's really abominable!" The Patriarch of the Lu family cursed inwardly.
Patriarch Ma and Patriarch Yuan also greeted Patriarch Gou's old lady silently in their hearts.
However, the city lord of Shangguan Yulou on the high platform was full of spring breeze, but he was very happy.What he wants to see the most is to drive up the price. Anyway, no matter how high the price is, the one who will benefit in the end will be the Lord Shangguan.
Over the years, relying on this project of financial competition, Shangguan Yulou has auctioned off the southeast of his home. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, as long as he says it was rewarded by His Majesty the Lord, someone will immediately buy it back at a high price and offer it up. Why not do it for fun?
Hey!
Why don't you call yourself 3 yuan? "
The four major families check and balance each other, wishing that one could kill the other on weekdays, so it is natural to tear each other fiercely in such items as financial competition.
Both Patriarch Gou and Patriarch Lu suddenly raised their bids one after another, just to drive up the price. Even if they couldn't get the southeast at the end of the auction, they could make the final winner bleed hard.
Lu Wenzhong snorted coldly (bffc) and said, "The owner of the Kuai Ma was still the top of the last grand event. Aren't you too confused to understand the meaning of financial competition? If you are poor and can't afford the price, you can quit the event and go home to sleep. No Preventing others from bidding for the baby, you say it is, Patriarch Yuan?"
While Lu Wenzhong was mocking Ma Baoguo, he did not forget to look at Yuan Hong, the head of the Yuan family, and threw the hot potato to Yuan Hong by the way.
Ma Baoguo's face flushed red, he snorted coldly and said nothing.
Although Yuan Hong was angry in his heart, his face was very calm. Naturally, he couldn't lag behind at this time, and shouted, "My Yuan family is willing to give [-] gold dollars!"
From [-] to [-], and another [-] gold dollars, everyone was in a mess again.
In this way, Ma Baoguo, the head of the Ma family, was equivalent to being roasted on the fire grill by the other three heads of the family.
Among the heads of the four first-class families, Ma Baoguo was the only one who did not bid.Cistanche has already called 1 yuan directly from the initial 30 gold dollars, a full [-] times increase.
Don't bid, Ma Baoguo can't afford to lose that man.
