"Please drive away the evil spirits." Yi Jixuan said with a smile.
"Wow wow wow." Fat Buddha laughed so hard that his double chins trembled. "Our Nine Gates charge a lot, it's not cheap."
Yi Jixuan's shrewd black eyes also sparkled like stars: "Don't worry, I have already paid the deposit."
Oh? Fat Buddha was slightly surprised. He didn't remember seeing this young man. Could it be that this was another deposit collected by Master Lian
“Then… please come in, sir.” The Fat Buddha stretched out his hand to invite someone. With his big belly, he stood at the entrance of the Nine Gates like a laughing Buddha.
Yi Jixuan looked at the dilapidated Ninth Gate. There were two white lights hanging on the door. It was behind the Eight Gates and looked more like the place where autopsies were performed among the Eight Gates.
But Yi Jixuan was well-informed. Zhang Tianshi once told him that the more ostentatious and luxurious the Taoist temples were, the more likely they were to be charlatans. The more low-key and shabby the temples were, the farther away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the more likely they were to be true experts.
Yi Jixuan looked around. The place where the Nine Gates was located was far away from the hustle and bustle. Maybe Lian Youyou was really capable. He had already thought about it when he came. Since he had already paid the deposit, he would ask Lian Youyou to exorcise the ghost. If she asked him for money, he would write to the Heavenly Master.
The Fat Buddha entered the Nine Gates, and Lian Youyou was coming out from the backyard.
"Great God! Guests are coming!" The fat Buddha's ball-like body ran lighter than a rabbit.
Lian slowly lifted the curtain and walked out, raised her head and looked towards the courtyard, and immediately smiled: "Oh, an acquaintance."
Yi Jixuan also saw Lian Youyou. This time, he looked at her more carefully to see what magic this woman had that fascinated the Fu brothers.
Yi Jixuan bowed to Lian Youyou and said, "Miss Lian, I am Yi Jixuan. It has been a long time since we last met."
Lian Youyou hooked her foot over the bench and sat down. She put her right foot on the bench and looked at Yi Jixuan: "I know, Master Yi. When your carriage came to Jiumen, the people in Jiumen told me that it was the carriage of the Yi family in the north. Thank you. Without it, it would take too much effort for me to come to Jiumen."
Fat Buddha was listening nearby with a broom in his hand and was surprised. The man in front of him turned out to be Yi Jixuan, the eldest son of the Yi family!
Heiyan also came out from the backyard, and his face was gloomy when he saw Yi Jixuan. A fickle woman will always flirt with other men!
Yi Jixuan looked at Lian Youyou with a smile: "The carriage has been given to the young lady as a deposit, so this time, I come to ask the young lady to exorcise the evil spirits."
Lian licked her lips leisurely: "Okay, I'll go with you, Fat Buddha. You're here, so come with me."
Fat Buddha immediately dropped his broom: "Yes, Master."
Yi Jixuan secretly laughed when he heard Fat Buddha address Lian Youyou. How could he call such a girl a great god? As if she was really a great god.
"I wonder how much the lady charges." Yi Jixuan asked as he walked out of the Nine Gates.
Lian Youyou put her hands behind her back and held her head high: "It depends on the level of the ghost. If you are obedient and can leave obediently after a few words, I won't charge you any other fees this time, and the deposit will not be refunded."
Yi Jixuan pursed his lips and smiled secretly. To be honest, a carriage is nothing to their Yi family. Hearing this, it seemed that the Fu brothers were a bit exaggerated when they said that Lian Youyou was ruthless. Perhaps they had never seen much of the world and had never asked anyone to perform a ritual, so they didn't know the market in this circle.
"What if it's difficult?" Yi Jixuan asked.
Lian glanced at Yi Jixuan: "Master Yi insisted on spending money, and I didn't stop him. To be honest, since you entered the Nine Gates, I saw that you were clean. Are you really asking me to exorcise evil spirits, or... are you curious about our Nine Gates and want to come and see me?"
Yi Jixuan paused for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Young lady is very smart, you have both." Yi Jixuan walked forward again, "I came to Beijing this time, but I heard a lot of rumors about you."
"Oh?" Lian Youyou turned to look at Fat Buddha, "Am I so famous outside now?"
Fat Buddha smiled and walked to Lian Youyou and whispered, "Fu Mingsuo's wife is Yi Jilan, the younger sister of Yi Jixuan."
“Oh~~~~” Lian Youyou tilted her head, “Tsk, what a loss. If I had known you were a relative of the Fu family, I would have asked for more. Since you’re a friend, it’s a bargain.”
"Hahaha—" Yi Jixuan laughed out loud and looked at Lian Youyou, "Why, Miss Lian has a grudge against the Fu family?"
Lian Youyou raised the corner of her mouth mischievously, and tilted her face to look at Yi Jixuan: "Mr. Yi, I heard that your family is also in business. You said... you met a very rich person, then your asking price... is it still the same as usual?"
Yi Jixuan looked at Lian Youyou for a while, blinked, and immediately laughed out loud: "Hahaha—"
On one side of the wall, Hei Yan stared coldly at Yi Jixuan who was talking and laughing with Lian Youyou. Ever since Lian Youyou left him alone on the bed, the fire in his chest grew bigger and bigger.
Not long after, Lian Youyou and Fat Buddha stood at the gate of Yi Jixuan's new house. In addition to the sweet osmanthus fragrance, the autumn wind blowing out of the gate also had a hint of sulfur. This smell was blown away by the wind. Fat Buddha couldn't smell it, Yi Jixuan couldn't smell it, but Lian Youyou could smell it.
Lian Youyou first looked at the jade pendant on Luo Yiji Xuan's robe: "You said that the jade pendant didn't even ring when you entered the door, what evil spirit is here?"
Yi Jixuan was surprised by what Lian Youyou said. He had only told Fu Mingsuo about the mystery of the jade pendant, but Fu Mingsuo could see that he didn't believe it. But Lian Youyou not only saw that his jade pendant was good, but also said this today, obviously knowing its mystery.
It seems that Lian Youyou is really capable.
"Where did you see the ghost?" Lian Youyou asked.
Yi Jixuan was now more serious: "Young lady, come with me."
Yi Jixuan brought Lian Youyou to the pavilion. The Fat Buddha looked around the study in the pavilion. From the time he came in until now, he had not noticed any signs of evil.
Lian Youyou followed Yi Jixuan out of the door, stood on the corridor outside, leaned on the railing and looked out, enjoying the picturesque scenery.
Heiyan jumped onto the roof, lay on the tiles, and continued to stare at Yi Jixuan.
"I was standing here at that time and saw a ghost shadow in the maple forest. Later, a ghost fog rose." Yi Jixuan pointed to the maple forest in the west.
Lian looked over there leisurely, took a look and exclaimed: "My, the original owner of this house was probably a painter? He built this home like a beautiful scene in a painting, which is endless to see at a glance."
Yi Jixuan felt that Lian Youyou was extremely intelligent and kind-hearted, so he couldn't help but say, "Miss, you guessed right. The original owner of this house was indeed a painter. Look, looking out of this attic, the beautiful scenery in all directions is arranged and designed according to spring, summer, autumn and winter. It's wonderful. These are all living things, and the scenery is different every day."
"This is really elegant. In a house like this, even if someone is really playing tricks on me, I won't want to leave..." Lian Youyou held the wooden railing with both hands. The beautiful scenery of the four seasons in front of her made her linger.
Even if the God Realm is longed for by people, the scenery will become boring after seeing it for ten thousand years, not to mention that it remains unchanged. You think the rainbow is beautiful, but if you see a rainbow hanging in front of your door every day for a long time, you will not find it strange.
The ever-changing and different beauty in front of us is the real beauty. (To be continued)
