Chapter 113
113 Chapter 11-meeting again after a long time
The student that Wang longqi had brought was called Cheng shuqi, and he looked like an honest young man.
He was one of the few scholars that Wang longqi had invited to the gathering. Later, he felt bad and told Wang longqi the truth, including him.
That was why Wang longqi treated him as a good brother.
Looking at Li Chu, he felt a little uneasy. In Wang longqi’s description, this little Taoist was a God.
After talking for a while, he finally explained his family’s situation.
It turned out that his father was a dianli in the hang Zhou government who was in charge of the prison. His official position was not high, but he had great power.
His daily life was pretty good.
However, a few days ago, his father suddenly went crazy.
At times, he would crawl on the ground in white with disheveled hair and even try to jump into the well when no one was paying attention.
At times, she would put on a face that was pinkish white, leaving only two dark circles under her eyes, and hide in the closet, her actions like a child’s.
Sometimes, she would suddenly hug a person’s shoulder, lie on his back, and walk with Him.
In short, it was all kinds of ghostly behavior that did not seem like a living person.
His family applied for leave from the Yamen and invited a few doctors to come.
Even the doctors couldn’t tell what was wrong. In the end, a more experienced doctor said that it was most likely an evil spirit and not an illness.
They didn’t dare to invite the people of Chaotian court, for fear that this matter would be reported to the officials and affect their official careers.
He planned to ask an expert to resolve this matter in private.
Cheng shuqi had just returned home yesterday to visit his father and was worried. Today, he heard Wang longqi talking about how good Li Chu was at dealing with the evil.
She wanted to invite Li Chu to her house to help her father get rid of the evil spirit.
Li Chu naturally agreed.
The more evils, the better.
Cheng shuqi immediately asked for leave from the Academy and went home. In addition to Li Chu, there was also the little koi fish following Li Chu and Wang longqi who was watching the fun. The group crossed the streets and came to the Cheng family.
The Cheng family’s house wasn’t small. Although it was located in a busy street, it was quite quiet after crossing two courtyards.
Before entering the door, Cheng shuqi specially warned, ”
“Little Daoist priest Li, I still have two older brothers above me. We have the same father but different mothers. Usually, our relationship isn’t very harmonious, so if they’re impolite to you in any way, I’ll apologize to you first. Yingluo, the most important thing is to save my father.”
“Yes.” Li Chu nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the Cheng family’s main courtyard, a servant led them into the lobby and said that several young masters and madams were already waiting there.
Cheng shuqi was still a little puzzled. He didn’t inform his family in advance about the news of him inviting Li Chu over, so how did they know?
Waiting at the entrance of the lobby, he saw all the members of the Cheng family.
At the head of the table were two women.
On the left, there was a slightly older man with white hair and a graceful figure. He sat there with a worried expression and was looking outside.
The one on the right was in her 30s or 40s. Her eyebrows were drawn and her hair was tied. Her makeup was exquisite, and her eyes were watery. Her figure was even more attractive.
At a glance, it was clear that the left side was the main wife, and the right side was the side room.
There were two young men sitting on the left side. They looked a little like Cheng shuqi and should be his two half-brothers, Cheng boqi and Cheng Zhongqi.
Upon seeing him enter, a young man immediately frowned and said, ” “Why is it you? I thought it was the expert I invited.”
Cheng shuqi glanced at him and didn’t pay attention to him. Instead, he stepped forward and bowed. aunt, mother.
The Cheng clan’s First Lady nodded and asked, ” “Shu Qi, didn’t you come back to visit yesterday? The Academy’s curriculum is strict. Even if something happens to the family, we will take care of it. You should focus on your studies and get into the Golden roll.”
Cheng shuqi’s mother, the second lady, waved her hand and smiled, ” “Sigh, my son is just being filial, alright? His father is already like this, if he can still study, wouldn’t he be cruel and unscrupulous?”
“Aunt, mother, I’m worried about father,” uncle Cheng quickly said. It just so happened that my fellow student from the Academy knew a Daoist priest who was very good at exorcism, so I invited him to my house to help father exorcise the evil.”
As he spoke, he invited Li Chu and the others to the hall.
“This is little Daoist priest li, this is lady Yue ‘er, and this is my good friend, Wang longqi,”
Li Chu nodded slightly.
“Thank you, little priest. Shu Qi is very thoughtful.” The Cheng family’s First Lady also nodded and said, ” “Bo Qi and Zhong Qi have also invited experts, and our family is waiting here. Since that’s the case, why don’t you come with us for a moment and wait for the two experts to arrive before we go in to see my husband? He’s in a bad condition, so it’s not good to visit him frequently.”
“Sure.” Li Chu agreed.
At this moment, the eldest brother Cheng boqi looked at Li Chu and asked in a sinister tone, ” “I wonder which mountain this little Daoist priest is from? I’ve always hung out in the hang Zhou Prefecture, but I don’t think I’ve heard of your name.”
“I’m from deyun temple, Shili Hill, outside Yuhang Town,” Li Chu replied indifferently.
“Pfft.”
Uncle Cheng’s two brothers looked at each other and laughed out loud.
“Shu Qi, even if you want to show your filial piety and don’t want to spend more money, you don’t have to go to that countryside to invite a random little Taoist priest, right?” Cheng Zhongqi said in a bitter tone.
“Father has always been the most generous with your food and drinks, and he has always given you the most silver. Why are you so perfunctory to father?”
Cheng shuqi was obviously used to being ridiculed by them and didn’t talk back. He only shook his head with a red face and said, ” “No, Daoist priest Li’s Kasaya is very powerful.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, show some respect,” the First Lady immediately rebuked.
Cheng boqi and Cheng Zhongqi stopped talking.
Cheng shuqi’s mother looked at Li Chu, her eyes rippling, ” “Don’t talk nonsense. I just think that little Daoist priest li is not bad. One look at that face, that nose, and that mountain root, and I can tell that he’s an expert at exorcism.”
“Mother, mother, mother!” Cheng shuqi secretly pulled her and whispered, ” “They’re all my classmates, so you should restrain yourself, Yingluo.”
At this moment, a servant came to report again. first young master, the immortal master of the flying arrival sect has arrived.
“Ha.” Cheng boqi stood up and looked at his third brother,”I’ll show you what a real master is.”
With that, he got up and went out to welcome them.
The Cheng family’s lady waved her hand. please don’t mind him, little Daoist li. My son is a little outspoken and likes to tease his brothers. I’m not being disrespectful to you. Please take a seat.
Li Chu shook his head indifferently.
Anyway, he only came here for two things, money and exorcism. As long as he got the money and experience, he didn’t care about anything else.
Wang longqi also waved his hand and laughed, ” “Who doesn’t have two silly sons? it doesn’t matter.”
Cheng Zhongqi, who had stayed behind, slammed the table. what do you mean? ”
“Aiya.” Wang longqi laughed again. I didn’t say which two. How did someone make the connection? ”
“Are you asking for a beating?” Cheng Zhongqi stood up and said angrily.
Wang longqi pointed at him and looked at Cheng shuqi and Li Chu. He laughed again, ” “Look, he’s anxious, he’s anxious.”
“Zhong Qi!” “Sit down, don’t embarrass yourself,” the lady said in a heavy voice.
……
Cheng boqi and Cheng Zhongqi had been targeting their younger brother for a long time.
They were all legitimate children, while Cheng shuqi was a concubine’s child.
Their mother was a young lady from a big family. Cheng shuqi’s mother was a red-haired woman in fragrance seeker house, also known as mu Mingxi.
The two of them were smart and quick-witted since young, while Cheng shuqi had always been timid.
But!
Their father loved the concubine more.
Since they were young, Cheng shuqi and his mother were the ones who received more love.
When the two brothers saw this, they naturally weren’t convinced, so they targeted Cheng shuqi even more.
The most infuriating thing was that Cheng shuqi never retaliated no matter how he was beaten or scolded!
In the eyes of others, he was a pitiful punching bag. The two of them had become villains who bullied others.
After the two brothers analyzed it, they determined that this kid clearly had evil intentions!
He deliberately used the method of being bullied to lower the reputation of the two brothers.
The most infuriating thing was that they were a mess in their studies.
However, this third brother, who had always been a yes-man, had been admitted to the morality Academy and became the pride of the Cheng clan!
This kid was usually quiet and always got bullied.
Who would have thought that he had such a bad heart!
He had actually been secretly making a fuss.
Study hard!
Was there anything more detestable than this in this world?
Digging up a family’s grave and kicking a widow’s door is nothing more than this, right?
Bullying too much, Tao Wu is bullying too much.
With this kind of resentment, Cheng boqi came to the main entrance and welcomed the expert he had invited.
brother Zhao, haha, I didn’t expect you to really come. That’s great!
As soon as he saw the person, he immediately put on a bright smile.
The person was short and had an unremarkable appearance, but he had a cold temperament and had the demeanor of an expert.
He was the famous disciple of the flying arrival sect, Zhao liangchen.
Cheng boqi looked at Zhao liangchen’s face and felt very comfortable. He thought to himself,’this is what a proper cultivator should look like!’
The flying arrival sect had a living example.
The most popular person in the hang Zhou Prefecture was Zhao liangchen’s junior Brother. However, only those who were well-informed knew that the strongest disciple of the current generation of the flying arrival sect was Zhao liangchen!
He’s so handsome and can even exorcise evil spirits. How is that possible?
Hmph.
Zhao liangchen nodded. master Cheng, I’m sorry I’m late.
“It’s fine, it’s still early,”
Cheng boqi enthusiastically led Zhao liangchen into the mansion, exchanging pleasantries along the way.
Just as he was about to enter the inner courtyard, Cheng boqi pulled him back and whispered,
“Brother Zhao, I have a presumptuous request. As for me, I have a younger brother. This kid has always been up to no good.”
“This time, my father was possessed. I don’t know where he hired a Daoist from the countryside. I’m afraid that he’s just holding it in and wants to take the opportunity to kill my father. If there’s a chance later, can you help me chase away that Daoist priest from the countryside?”
“Chase them away?” Zhao liangchen frowned.
I heard such a request before exorcism.
A sensitive part of him had been poked.
“His cultivation is definitely not as good as yours. He might even be a charlatan. Just test him a little and force him to leave. I’ll give you an additional 30% of your reward, how about it?” Cheng boqi bewitched.
“I’ll see what I can do,” Zhao liangchen said with a frown.
“Please.”
Cheng boqi brought him all the way to the main hall and before he even stepped through the door, he loudly said, ” “Mother, this is the strongest disciple of the flying sect, Zhao liangchen! I spent a lot of money and used my connections to invite him. Brother Zhao, please do.”
He led Zhao liangchen into the hall and was about to introduce his family.
However, Zhao liangchen could not hear him at all.
Anyone who entered the hall would see an extraordinary face at first sight.
No matter where he was, that face seemed to be shining dazzlingly.
All of a sudden, many painful memories came to her mind.
The flying arrival sect was very famous in the hang Zhou Prefecture. The Cheng family members in the hall were waiting expectantly for immortal master Zhao.
He took a step into the threshold, but did not take a second step. Instead, he suddenly withdrew.
Then, he turned around and left!
Forget about leaving, he even turned around and clearly said,”Yingluo.”
“F * ck!”
