The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng got out of his seat, had a drink with Shen Lun, and then told him about Xiao Lizhuang.

What he said was naturally the same as what Bailixiao reported.

Shen Lun drank it down in one gulp, put down the wine cup, sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, it really is a few wild wolves causing trouble."

The Taoist priest's body was also found, and the case was naturally closed. Lu Sheng only kept his doubts in his heart, and never mentioned it to anyone.

Now he is also hiding it from his best friend, and he can't help but feel a little guilty for a while.

Fortunately, Shen Lun didn't care too much, so he changed the subject and chatted with Lu Sheng about other things.

Lu Sheng was naturally willing to cooperate, and the two chatted happily.

The next day, Lu Sheng received Xie Rong's post, so he happily went to the meeting and went to visit.

Although it was a banquet, Xie Rong only held a simple banquet in the side hall, with six cold and six hot dishes and twelve delicacies, the sea bass was as clear as snow, the salted duck was as crisp and white as jade bricks, and the stuffed cowpeas were as green as emeralds.The broiled venison is brown and delicate, full of aroma; the crispy cheese is served in a jade bowl, and the cream is moist and melts in the mouth.A dazzling array of beautiful things.

Paired with light blue-blue, sweet and refreshing pear blossom wine, it is truly delicious and irresistible.Naturally, Lu Sheng was not polite, he ate heartily, and ate to his heart's content.

Xie Rong sat beside him drinking, his drinking movements were very chic, with a flip of his wrist, he drank the wine in the small white jade cup in one gulp.Cup after cup like this, half a jar of wine disappeared without a trace.

Lu Sheng couldn't help being a little stunned, put down the bamboo chopsticks and said, "Xie Rong, drink slowly."

Xie Rong held the wine cup and asked Ruoxia to pour the wine, and said with a light smile, "What's the hurry, there are still more than ten altars of Pear Blossom White in the cellar, your wine will always be indispensable."

Lu Sheng's ears were slightly red, and he said angrily, "Who is greedy for your drink? I can't be a three-year-old child. I'm just afraid that you will hurt yourself if you drink too much."

Xie Rong only smiled lightly and said, "It's okay."

Suddenly there was a young man's laughter from outside the hall, but it was Sima Yu, the heir of Prince Pengcheng, who stepped in and said with a smile: "If you drink too much, this pear blossom is just like drinking water, but Lu Gongcao is underestimating people. "

The attendants in the hall rushed to salute, although Lu Sheng complained, he still had to leave his seat, bowed together with the attendants, and said one after another: "See Your Highness."

Only Xie Rong was still lazily reclining on the couch, slowly placed the wine cup on the mother-of-pearl black lacquered table in front of her, and ordered: "Take a seat."

Sima Yu was not too polite, wearing a silver robe, the jade tree was outstanding, he lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down.Xie Rong was in the main seat, and Lu Sheng was originally on the right, but now that the prince came, he had to let him sit on the left.

These two are relatives of the emperor and descendants of an aristocratic family. They are all nobles. He is the only one from a humble family. Lu Sheng is unavoidably at a loss. If he hadn't drank wine before and was a little tipsy at this time, he might have found an excuse to avoid it.

Xie Rong suddenly acted uncharacteristically, and personally brought up the white porcelain jug, and poured wine for Lu Sheng, saying: "My son is open-minded, and never pays attention to common etiquette, let alone the difference between scholars, Baoyang, you don't have to be cautious. "

Lu Sheng was caught off guard by his call, flattered, his heart throbbed for a while, and the roots of his ears became more and more red. In his panic, he had to hold up the white jade lamp in front of him and said, "I respect your highness."

Sima Yu looked at the two people back and forth coldly, and suddenly chuckled, holding Yuzhan and drinking with Lu Sheng, while sighing: "When did Ru Zhan change his nature and start caring for people like this? "

Seeing that Lu Sheng's wine glass was empty, Xie Rong refilled it for him, and Ruoxia, who was accompanying her, also stepped forward to pour wine for Sima Yu.Xie Rong smiled and said: "I hit it off with this little friend, and I'm a few years older, so I can't help but take care of him more."

Lu Shengnian is just as young as Guan, and Xie Rong is 24 years old. From an individual point of view, it is reasonable and reasonable, but it is really unexpected when it comes from Xie Rong, who is innocent and arrogant.

Lu Sheng's heart is clear, Xie Rong was lukewarm to him before, but now when the prince arrives, he immediately turns his face away, asks about his relatives, and cares about him, naturally he has ulterior motives.He couldn't help recalling Sima Yu's gossip and rumors, and he became more certain about his guess - I'm afraid that the prince is really obsessed with Xie Rong's beauty and won't let him go.It's a pity that Xie Rong has to use these methods to deal with it.

He cooperated with Xie Rong and drank as soon as he poured wine, and respected his son from time to time, only wishing to get Sima Yu drunk and leave earlier, so that Xie Rong could share his worries.

Sima Yu also drank heartily, chatting with the two of them while drinking, but after half a stick of incense, the jar of wine was drained, so he turned his head and glanced at Lu Sheng, suddenly smiled and said: "...kid is drunk. "

Lu Sheng was overwhelmed with alcohol in the middle of the journey, and fell unconscious on the table.

Xie Rong put down the wine cup, and also said: "Since this is the case, I forgive Xie for not being able to accompany me anymore, my son, please come back."

Sima Yu also put down his wine cup and sighed: "Ruzhu, with the friendship between you and me, why bother to reject me thousands of miles away and drag an outsider into the game."

Xie Rong got up, but she really wanted to chase away the guests, and said calmly: "Xie is only assisting King Pengcheng in the name of a benefactor, and has no personal relationship with the son, nor does he intend to have a personal relationship. If the son wants to drive away in the future, just send someone to order, Xie will do his best, so His Royal Highness will not worry about it."

Sima Yu had no choice but to stand up with him, still sighing, and said: "Ru Zhe, to tell you the truth, although I have had evil thoughts, but Ru Zhe you are very capable, I can't beat you, you can't lie to me, and I can't lie to you. I wish the female would be under someone else's body, so I gave up the idea a long time ago... Now I just want to be a close friend with you."

Xie Rong had already bent down to hug the drowsy young man, and responded softly: "My son has a heart."

Sima Yu saw that he was unmoved, and seeing that he was about to leave the side hall, he hurriedly stepped forward and called out, "Ruzhu..."

Xie Rong stopped in his tracks, the candlelight was reflected in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, shining brightly, he tilted his head and smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is from Xuzhou, perhaps he has never heard of the rumors, Xie Rong is the evil son of Luo Hu's evil star."

The evil star of Rahu, when it comes out, swallows the sky, devours the sun, and blocks the moon and clouds. It is a great evil star in Buddhism. It descends to the world once every hundred years and gives birth to evil stars and evil children.

These evil sons were born under the evil star, they are born with ominous nature, if they enter the court, the country will collapse, if they get close to the mansion, the family will perish, gods and ghosts are disgusting, everyone avoids them for fear of not being able to.If Tuo was born in the countryside, he had already been killed and then quickly.

The more Buddhism prevailed in the Great Jin Dynasty, the more people believed in evil stars and troubled times. It has been ingrained for a long time, and Sima Yu naturally heard about it. At this time, his face froze, and he blurted out: "Whoever dares to spread rumors, I will kill him!"

Xie Rong chuckled again, "The former abbot of Xingshan Temple, Zen Master Zhaozhen was straightforward, and you won't be allowed to question him."

Zen Master Zhaozhen passed away six years ago and has practiced Buddhism for more than [-] years. official.It's no wonder that he is still white after becoming the Xie family of Chenjun. On the contrary, his younger brother Xie Xuan is a fourth-rank official at a young age and has a bright future.

Sima Yu was dubious, but he didn't dare to take risks. As a child of the clan, he was most susceptible to the influence of evil stars. He had great ambitions, but he couldn't make a single mistake. He couldn't help but hesitated for a moment before making up his mind and said: "Xie Rong ..."

However, Xie Rong has already stepped out of the side hall, and even his back is gone.

--------

Xie Rong carried Lu Sheng through the corridor and into the guest room in the west courtyard. After putting him down, she realized that the skirt of her clothes was slightly cold. Looking down, there were spots of water stains. The corners of the young man's eyes were also wet and faintly red. Xie Rong couldn't help crying and laughing, she just said: "...Dignified Habayashi Wei, why are you crying?"

Lu Sheng woke up from a drowsiness halfway, because Xie Rong was talking with Sima Yu, and he couldn't interrupt, so he had to pretend to be asleep, but unexpectedly, he heard such a shocking secret.

It's no wonder that he is in high office, but still lives alone, and rarely communicates with people in Xie's mansion, he is probably also burdened by this rumor, and cannot return home even if he has a home.

Lu Sheng was still drunk, and it was difficult to restrain his true feelings. Naturally, sadness came from it, and his tears could not be stopped.At this moment, being ridiculed by Xie Rong, he took a deep breath, while rubbing the tip of his sore nose, he opened his eyes and stared at the noble young master and said: "What a stinky monk, you are bluffing and cheating, I will go to Xingshan Temple to dig his grave someday. Whip the corpse to relieve hatred."

Xie Rong had a weird expression, half a smile but not a smile, and said after a long time: "Zhan Master Zhaozhen's body has already been incinerated, leaving only three relics, which are enshrined in the Thousand Buddha Pagoda."

Lu Sheng said: "Then steal his relic and throw it into the river to feed the fish!"

Xie Rong said: "There are [-] monks and soldiers guarding the pagoda day and night, even a thief who flies over the eaves and walls can't get in."

Lu Sheng was furious, pulled Xie Rong's sleeves and said, "You bastard, let others destroy your prestige! Xie Rong, just wait and see, I will steal his relic sooner or later, sir, and I will use it as a bomb for you!" Bead play!"

Although Xie Rong wanted to ask him "Aren't you going to feed the fish?", but couldn't bear to tease him too much, she just sighed helplessly, "Lu Sheng, you're drunk."

But Lu Sheng didn't reply, he tilted his head on the pillow again, and fell asleep soundly.

Xie Rong's expression gradually calmed down, and after a slight movement, she realized that her sleeves were still held in Lu Sheng's hands.He smiled slightly, and gently pulled out his sleeves. Seeing that Lu Sheng was fast asleep, he stretched out his hand and slowly opened up the young man's inner and outer clothes, revealing his entire strong and robust chest.
