After I faked my death, the magician went crazy

This Tai'an town has been quite unsettled recently, so many people have disappeared, no one is alive, no one is dead, even Master Zhou of Zi Mansion, who invited monks from the Sanqing Realm to preside over the ceremony, had an accident.

I heard that the mainstay of their Zi Mansion, Mr. Zhou, suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, and his youngest son, Zhou Chengren, also went mad.There was only one young master Ping left. Fortunately, the missing eldest lady returned.

The adults pulled Xiaoerlang and offered the best viewing position to Li Ziping and Ziying.

As for the dragon dance and lion dance, it’s nothing more than a few routines. Everyone’s plan is to be lively and festive, and to dispel the haze by beating.

This time, the dragon dance did not even leave the formation of swimming dragons, and the hydrangea of ​​the lion dance did not grab. It became a dragon-lion fight.

The teams on both sides played on equal footing, and it was exciting again and again, which made the children very happy. In recent days, as long as the adults don't let them go out in the evening, they feel so bored that they almost want to hug the dancers. The masters of the dragon and lion dance followed suit.

Near the end of the alley, the group of people in front had finished dancing, but unexpectedly there was a fat little dragon and a little lion at the end.

Generally, the masters of the dragon dance are four or five young people, while the masters of the lion dance are in groups of two, but the little dragon and the little lion at the end look like children who are no more than ten years old.

Compared to the team in front of them, they looked particularly thin, and even the decorations on their bodies were dilapidated, but the two children were very involved in the show, not sloppy at all.

Li Ziping didn't read these things often, so he couldn't understand them.Ziying was very excited, and cheered with the children, and explained to Li Ziping: "Master Ping, don't you see that the dragon and lion in front are very powerful? This is the performance of the two at the end, Abandoned by his own clan.

Are the two of them completely different from the dragon and lion fighting in front of them? Although they are weak, they are very united and don't care about each other's identity and background.After the little dragon was abandoned, the little lion came to feed it.The two grew up supporting each other, but gold always shines. After the little dragon was taken away by the fairy and ascended, he promised that the little lion would come to pick him up, but when the little dragon arrived, the little lion had already been killed.

Sure enough, at the end of the team, only Xiaolong stood alone, looking into the distance.

There were tears in Zi Ying's eyes, as if she was moved by these two weak creatures, and her eyes seemed to touch herself when she went back to the house and listened to the old housekeeper's story about her biological mother. , was abused by the stepmother, and finally abandoned by the father.

Li Ziping grabbed the hair flowers on the table next to him: "My sister is in her youth, so I should wear these bright and bright hair accessories more, so as to highlight my beauty."

But Zi Ying seemed a little displeased, and took off the hair tie on her head again, "Mother, you once told me that it's good for a woman to follow her heart, and she doesn't need to try to please others, let alone be bound by the rules of the world."

Li Ziping nodded in satisfaction: "It's all good, it's great that Sister thinks so."

This dragon and lion dance was originally staged two days in advance for the memorial ceremony. When the ceremony begins, there will be entertainers walking on stilts, etc., making it even more lively.

The two bought a lot and returned to Zi's mansion.

In the newly renovated flower hall of Zi Mansion, besides Daoist Xu Ming, another guest came, a monk who was more radiant than the head of a headless ghost.

Li Zi saluted in parallel: "Who is this master?"

The monk replied politely, "This old man is from Shakya Station, so don't need to be extra polite."

The original book is divided into four major sects of cultivation, the first is the Sanqing Realm where Li Ziping and Xu Ming belonged, the second is Wudingguan, most of them are Taoists with the surname Wang, the third is Baihe Dao, all are descendants of the Meng family, and the third is to enter the world. The place where monks are the main ones is the Sakyamuni.

They are different from monks in ordinary temples. Although they usually meditate and chant scriptures, they often go down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits and avoid danger for the surrounding villagers, eliminate demons and defend the way, and are closer to a monk.

After Taoist Xu Ming’s explanation, Tai’an Town only pooled money to invite monks from the Sanqing Realm to preside over the ceremony. By chance, he wandered to the nearby Master Yideng, watched the sky at night, and saw something strange near Tai’an Mountain. When he rushed there, Seeing that a cloud of demonic energy had receded in the mountains, but there was still a thick white mist hovering around, but because of lack of energy, he first came to Tai'an Town for alms, so he was brought here by the chief of the town, Daoist Xu Ming. .

The few people chatted very happily, and I have to say that Master Deng is different from the hermit monk in that temple. He doesn't talk about Buddhism, he doesn't talk about practice, but he shares with everyone some strange stories he has seen during his travels.

Ziying was not interested, so she went back to her room to read the script.Li Ziping actually asked Master Yideng, had he seen a black spell during his many years of travelling?

Master Yideng thought for a moment, then shook his head and denied, "I have been studying Buddhism with the abbot since I was 12 years old. It has been 20 years now, and I have never heard of it."

Li Ziping made a "plop" and almost spit out a mouthful of tea, so the master is only in his early thirties?

Look at his blue face and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, luckily he didn't ask, Master, are you Geng this year?

Although Li Ziping repeatedly persuaded Master Yideng to recuperate at his residence, once he emphasized that he was an ascetic monk, he would not bother to go to the ancestral hall in the town to recuperate.

At night, the patriarch of Tai'an Town also came to visit, and even brought his daughter Hong, who was treasured at home, here, saying that he would give it to Ziying.

The patriarch had a close relationship with Zi Ping's grandfather, and he spent a lot of time looking for the lost Zi Ying.He was also quite dissatisfied with Master Zhou's previous actions, and he couldn't persuade them, so the two families gradually broke off contact.The old butler specially called Zi Ying out and saluted the patriarch.

The patriarch with a gray beard was about to burst into tears of joy, "That's right, that's right, it must be Ying Ying, I hugged you when I was young, alas, in a blink of an eye, after so many years, there are finally two Happy event."

The patriarch had completely ignored Master Zhou, Yingniang, and Zhou Chengren who were lying in the backyard. While wiping away his tears, he directed his servants to carry a black box made of agarwood and move it in.

Li Ziping was puzzled.

The patriarch was a little embarrassed: "No, is there a festival in the town in two days? This thing was originally placed in the ancestral hall, but it has been a troubled time recently, and in order to make it easier for Master Yideng to build a Buddhist hall inside, so I put it Move it out. After much deliberation, I decided to put it here with you. This box has been kept in the ancestral hall for so many years. It is useless and it is not appropriate to throw it away. We will move it back when the sacrifice is over.

The patriarch had no intention of discussing with the siblings at all, and asked the old housekeeper to arrange for someone to move the box to the study in the backyard.

*******************

On the day of the ceremony, the old housekeeper made arrangements early in the morning. Li Ziping and Ziying put on the most expensive clothes and headgear.

The man is fine, no matter how complicated it is, the robe is just decorated with more gold threads and jade pendants, the carving of the jade crown on his head is a little more complicated than usual, and Zi Ying is quite different from the previous appearance, pear white Her clothes looked extraordinarily delicate, with a golden hairpin on her head, coral bead earrings on her earlobes, and two gold and jade bracelets on her hands, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

The old housekeeper comforted him from the side, "Miss, don't take it! Don't take it! It's been a long time since our Zi Mansion, it's the first time that the eldest lady has officially appeared in the town, so I have to show my confidence, and the young master, don't lose the chain!" Now, you have to look glamorous, so that those people don't look down on our Zifu. The master has fallen, and there are still a son and a daughter to support him."

Seeing the eager eyes of the old housekeeper, Zi Ying took back the jade bracelet in her hand.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the streets and alleys of Tai'an Town were filled with red lanterns and red silk cloths, and even the heads of the girls and wives became fiery red.

Vendors along the street are enthusiastically throwing red-shelled eggs to the children on the side of the road. According to the custom of Tai'an Town, if the children catch them safely, it means that his life will be smooth and carefree.

Li Ziping specially booked the best seat in the tea house, and invited the old housekeeper to come up and drink tea together.

The old butler repeatedly shied away, "Young Master, you can't do what you want. It would be a shame if someone else sees it."

Li Ziping didn't care, and arranged another table beside the table, and the old housekeeper sat down with peace of mind.

The waiter in the tea house brought hot water and enthusiastically made tea for them: "Master Ping, it really is different, just come to see the excitement, why do you still carry such a big burden?"

Zi Ying hesitated and said: "We prepared red eggs for those little boys, but they were useless, so we brought them to the teahouse by the way."

Li Ziping laughed awkwardly, it was this headless ghost who insisted on watching the festival, saying that he had never seen it in his 18 years of life.There was no other way, Zi Ying could only wrap him twice with cloth, dug two holes where his eyes were, and repeatedly told him not to reveal his secrets.

Daoist Xu Ming also changed into a disciple uniform of the Sanqing Realm, and Master Yideng was behind him, and they walked slowly to the table for the two of them.

Li Ziping licked his melon seeds: "Hey, smelly Taoist priest, aren't you going to preside over the Ji Ji Festival today? Why did you come here? You are so irresponsible, but your money will be deducted. You must know about this festival. The government has made a big head." He exaggeratedly drew an arc with his hand.

Ziying acted as a peacemaker at the side, and greeted warmly, Daoist Xu and Master Yideng took their seats.

He slowly raised his teacup and took a sip of tea: "Of course I will host it, but the process is too complicated, so I will come up first, and you will know why later." He looked calmly, walking on the street The dragon and lion dance team came.

Since this is the fourth performance of the masters, the children who were excited at the beginning seemed not so enthusiastic this time, and they all concentrated on peeling the eggshells in their hands.

Today, the carriage at the front of the dragon dance team was changed to look like an altar, and a maroon horse pulled the red stage forward, but Daoist Xu Ming, who was supposed to perform sword dance and pray to the sky on the stage , but in this tea house upstairs, drinking tea leisurely.

Li Ziping took out a small notebook, "I asked you to collect the money and do nothing. I will write it down for you, and I will complain to the Sanqingjie later. Now I am your father of Party A, hahahaha."

Daoist Xu Ming flicked his sleeves, leaped gracefully from the window of the tea house, and landed firmly on the passing altar below, and the girls around screamed.

The author has something to say:

I finished the update today, and I’m still coding, and I will probably update another chapter ~ about someone who wants to kill Daoist Xu Ming ~
