Chapter 196 Extra Theater Story: Borrowing Years (Part )

A man in white was hiding in the dark, fanning himself with a folding fan in his hand, with a look of disdain on his face: “Humph, I thought it was nothing, but it turned out to be some unpresentable tricks. He couldn’t even tell that he had such tricks. That kid is really getting worse and worse.”

But I didn’t expect to meet them again, which was quite interesting.

Just treat it as entertainment!

Bai Wuchang waved his folding fan, and then disappeared in an instant.

……

When Aunt Chang’s family saw that the child was fine and heard that it was Lingxiang and the other two who saved him, they thanked them profusely and invited them home to treat them well. Mai Dong wanted to refuse, but Lingxiang secretly pulled her, and she immediately understood and quickly changed her mind and accepted their invitation.

Aunt Chang prepared a table full of food. Although it was not very sumptuous, it was full of the sincere enthusiasm of simple villagers. The family naturally expressed their gratitude profusely during the meal, which made Maidong feel uncomfortable. Lingxiang, on the other hand, looked calm.

After a few drinks, the family started chatting with Lingxiang and the other two. Changbo was very curious about how Lingxiang could save Gou Wa. According to Erniu next door, Gou Wa looked like he was dead. These two women had pretty faces, so how could they have such a big body? Could they be fairies who had descended to the earth?

Lingxiang and the other two smiled when they heard this and said that they were just passing by. However, Maidong seldom went out often, and he could not stand the flattery from his family, so he told their past.

When they heard that Maidong was a monk from the Yuanqing Sect, Changbo’s family was both happy and awed, and they stood up to pay their respects. They were happy that a monk from another world had come and saved their child, which was a great gift from heaven; they were awed that the monks in the rumors were mostly eccentric, and that they possessed unique skills, like gods, and should never be underestimated.

In their eyes, Ophiopogon japonicus is already a god from outer space.

This kneeling made Mai Dong stunned for a moment. She had never encountered such a scene before and felt a little at a loss for a moment.

Seeing this, Lingxiang’s eyes turned and she glanced at Long Qi. Long Qi immediately understood and hurriedly pulled the family up, saying, “Uncle and aunt, please don’t be like this. We are also the younger generation. How can we let the elders treat us like this? Besides, my sister saved people not to do good to others, but it is our duty as cultivators. It’s not worth mentioning. You see, my sister is embarrassed.”

Kuang’er, the eldest son of Aunt Chang, thought that what Long Qi said made sense, and seeing Mai Dong’s embarrassed face, he also started to persuade him.

After finally persuading the two elders to stop talking, perhaps to divert their attention, Kuan Ge’er asked Mai Dong, “I wonder what the fairy is doing in this rural area?”

Lingxiang didn’t know how to start, but this question was exactly what she wanted. She glanced at Maidong, who understood her intention and pretended to think for a moment before asking, “Although it may be a little abrupt, I want to ask, has anything strange happened here recently?”

“Strange things?” Kuan Ge’er looked confused: “Although our village is not very rich, it is also peaceful and happy. I wonder what the fairy means by strange things…”

Seeing him say this, Lingxiang knew that the villagers had not noticed anything unusual. Seeing that the uncle and aunt looked panicked, she said, “Uncle and aunt, please don’t misunderstand. Brother and sister are here to accompany me to collect herbs. I just asked this question because I saw that there is a lot of yin energy in the village. If there is nothing wrong, it would be the best.”

Yang Qi is strong? So…

Uncle Chang and Aunt Chang looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before Aunt Fu spoke: “I’m afraid it’s because there have been so many funerals in the village recently…”

Chang Bo also sighed: “Yes, I don’t know if it’s because of the cold weather, but many people have died recently. They are all villagers. The day before, they were still talking and laughing with their neighbors, but they were gone overnight.” A lot of funerals? It seems that Tao Niu’er was not lying. Many people died in the village, but…

“Who were those people who died in the village?” Lingxiang suddenly felt uneasy.

Seeing Lingxiang suddenly excited, the eldest aunt and uncle were stunned. Kuan Ge’er wanted to answer, but he didn’t understand what Lingxiang meant: “What does the fairy want to ask?”

Mai Dong pulled Ling Xiang, who then realized that she had lost her composure and said softly, “Since it’s because of the cold weather, I guess the people who died in the village were elderly?”

“This…” Uncle Chang and Aunt Chang looked at each other, and then Aunt Fu replied: “For God’s sake, if they were older, it would be a happy funeral. Most of the dead were middle-aged people, and there were also some children…”

At this point, Aunt Chang’s family seemed to feel that something was wrong. Normally, as the weather was getting colder, it would be the older people who couldn’t stand it, but now, it was the young people who died.

“No wonder the village chief wants to ask the goddess of fortune to bless the villagers. I think he also feels something is strange.” Brother Kuan said with a frown.

Goddess of Fortune? Who is that? A deity? Blessings?

Seeing Lingxiang and the other two looking puzzled, Kuang Ge’er quickly explained. It turned out that the Goddess of Fortune he was talking about was the oldest elder in the village. It was said that she had been blessed by the God of Fortune, so she had lived for a long time. Although he didn’t know how old she was, he had often seen her since he could remember.

Uncle Fu told Lingxiang that this Goddess of Fortune was already old when he was a child, but now she is still energetic at such an old age. People in the village say that she was blessed by the God of Fortune.

After hearing what the two said, Lingxiang Maidong looked at each other, and they secretly merged their spirits.

“This Goddess of Fortune is probably a strange person. I have been in Guyang City for so long, but I have never heard of such a person.”

Mai Dong nodded imperceptibly: “If he has cultivation, it’s normal, but there are outsiders in this kind of place?”

Lingxiang shook her head and thought that she had to go meet this goddess of fortune.

Long Qi didn’t know what was wrong with Lingxiang and Maidong. They clearly didn’t say a word, but he could clearly hear what they said. Was he hallucinating?
Just as the three were thinking about their own things, there was a sound of bell ringing outside the house. Everyone in the house didn’t know what was going on, so they went out to see what was going on. They saw that all the people in the village, young and old, came out of the house and went to the east entrance of the village.

Lingxiang looked at Kuang’er and wanted to ask him what happened, but Kuang’er had already walked out of the yard to inquire about it. After a while, he came back and said, “Grandma Fushen is dying again, and the village chief is calling everyone to go!”

Changbo’s family hurried back to the house, and after a while they all came out wearing sackcloth. Lingxiang was surprised to see this and asked what they were doing. Aunt Chang, while arranging the sackcloth hat for Gou Wa, replied, “We are all one family in this village, there are no outsiders. Grandma Fushen is the ancestor of the village and the elder of everyone, so we have to wear sackcloth and mourn for her.”

“The fairy is not from this village. If you don’t mind, you can rest for a while in my house so as not to pollute the fairy’s divine aura.” Aunt Chang said, and she pulled Gou Wa and Uncle Chang Kuan Ge and ran towards the east entrance of the village.

“There must be something strange about this Goddess of Fortune.” Lingxiang blurted out as she looked at the family going away.
