Chapter 28: Half Immortal, Half Immortal Again
After taking a 4-hour long-distance bus to J City, Shi Xiaofeng was suddenly ashamed when he saw the familiar scene. Although I send money to my mother every month, I haven't been home to see her in years.
For as long as he can remember, he and his mother have moved around as a family member of the army, and they have never had a fixed home. After finishing elementary school in the mountains, Shi Xiaofeng left home at a young age and went to live in a junior high school in the county seat alone. It wasn't until the year he graduated from junior high school that my father finally transferred to my mother's hometown and became a police officer.
At this point, the family has a stable home. My mother's hometown, J City, was a quiet and beautiful town, which was still called J County at that time, and it was also a famous historical and cultural ancient city.
Entering the familiar military family compound, Shi Xiaofeng felt cordial when he saw every grass and tree. From time to time, neighbors greeted each other: "Hey, isn't this the naughty boy of the old Shi family, they have grown so tall!" "Xiaofeng, are you back? Go and see your mother, she talks about you every day." ”
Shi Xiaofeng answered one by one, but he didn't stop at his feet, and walked quickly to the second row of bungalows behind the ginkgo tree, and saw his mother, whose hair had gray, tending to flowers and plants in her small yard. His heart was sour, these were all planted before his father died, and they still grew so luxuriantly after five years.
"Mom!" he yelled and hugged her from behind.
My mother was so frightened that she came back to her senses after a while, and scolded: "Stinky boy, if you don't go home for a few years, you will be scared to death when you come back!"
scolded and scolded, but the mother was happy on her face, let her son enter the house and sit down, made him a pot of good tea, and took out his favorite snacks. Shi Xiaofeng answered a bunch of questions from his mother while eating and drinking.
When asked about his work, he had already made up a response: "Everything is fine." I work hard, I didn't take annual leave last year, this year the company's boss allowed me to move to a vacation, this time I can come back and stay with you for a while!"
The mother was overjoyed and asked her son about his feelings. Shi Xiaofeng replied vaguely: "I have a girlfriend who is dating." ”
My mother was overjoyed and immediately asked where the girl was, how old she was, how good-looking, what did her parents do, how many siblings did she have......
Shi Xiaofeng's head was big, and he hurriedly said: "Mom, let's not talk about this first, I want to go to my father's grave to burn incense first, I haven't been to the grave for several years." ”
Mom nodded: "Well, yes, you kid is a little filial." Go early and come back early, several aunts will come in the evening, come back early to have dinner with everyone!"
Shi Xiaofeng thought to himself, then I have to go home later, otherwise I will bump into a few super gossip aunts, and I will be annoyed to death if I don't get to the bottom of it.
When you come to the street, you can walk for a few minutes, and there is a special bus stop that runs to and from the largest cemetery in J City every day. Shi Xiaofeng bought a ticket to get on the bus, and took half an hour to arrive at the cemetery with beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery.
Looking at the gate of the cemetery halfway up the mountain, Shi Xiaofeng quickened his pace and climbed the steps. Turning around a mountain col, I saw a small dilapidated temple on the side of the road, and suddenly my mind moved: why is it so familiar?
He had a very good memory, and he tried to remember it and finally remembered: Isn't this exactly the place where my mother brought me to fortune telling exactly twenty years ago?
At that time, there was no cemetery, and there were no stone steps up the hill. Is that terrifying-looking blind half-immortal still there?
Shi Xiaofeng suddenly became nervous, as if as long as he saw this person, he could solve many mysteries, and it was as if there was a power in the dark that guided him back here.
Walking through the temple gate, he denied his feelings. The small temple has been abandoned for many years, dilapidated, and there is no trace of any human habitation, and of course there will be no incense. In a few moments, he had walked all over the small temple, disappointed and ready to leave.
"Why do you have to leave when you're here? Don't you have a lot to ask me?"
Shi Xiaofeng was startled, and immediately turned around, and saw a thin old man sitting cross-legged on a bluestone slab at the entrance of the temple, with furrows on his face, and constantly rolling his eyes - it was the half-immortal of the year!
"There was obviously no one in the temple just now, you... Where did you come from?" Shi Xiaofeng was shocked.
"I've always been here, but you can't see it. The half-immortal said lightly.
Shi Xiaofeng looked at it carefully, and there was no doubt that he was a half-immortal, but he was not as terrifying as he felt back then, and he didn't see old age. His clothes are shabby and dirty, his fingernails and bare toes are full of mud, and he is obscene.
Seeing that Shi Xiaofeng was stunned, the half-immortal smiled and said, "Boy, didn't you come to me on a special trip?
Shi Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed: "How do you know that I am looking for you? Do you know me?"
The half-immortal smiled: "I know, aren't you the doll of the nine-grid peach blossom life back then? ”
Shi Xiaofeng was in awe, and his tone was much more polite: "Yes, yes, you can still recognize me after twenty years, admire and admire!"
The half-immortal smiled faintly: "Although the old man is blind, his ears are not deaf, as long as I have heard your voice, I can recognize it for many years." ”
"So, do you know what I'm trying to ask?"
"Naturally, you are confused by your feelings, and you are troubled by the bleakness of your future. ”
Shi Xiaofeng was completely convinced, and his title changed again: "Master Gaoming, you said back then that I was destined to commit a peach blossom and enjoy the blessings of all people, but three of the women I met suddenly left me......" - he was referring to the goddess in the dream, Chi Min and Zhou Xiaoyi.
"This is what I said about 'beauty is like a flower across the clouds', everything is destined, not yours you can't get, it's yours after all, you don't have to force it. ”
Shi Xiaofeng was startled again, and the cold hairs all over his body stood up. By the way, on his last night in Tokyo before returning home, he had a strange dream, and the half-immortal in the dream also said this - yes, word for word!
His mind was messy, and he couldn't understand the mysteries involved.
The half-immortal smiled again: "Boy, you have had a very strange encounter in your life, why bother with the small setbacks in front of you? besides, the fate of these three women and you is not over, and there will be a time to meet in the future......"
Suddenly, the half-immortal stood up from the bluestone slab, with a look of surprise on his face, and pointed at Shi Xiaofeng and said loudly: "How can this be? How can this be......?
Shi Xiaofeng was taken aback: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
The half-immortal was silent for a while, and then sighed and said: "Boy, your Yin Tang is black, and there is a sinister aura between your eyebrows, and there will be a ...... in the near future."
Shi Xiaofeng's mind moved, and he said, "Master, you are blind, how can you see that my Yin Hall is black?"
Half Immortal said: "You don't have to use your eyes to observe things. Mortals see with their eyes, cultivators see with their 'heavenly eyes', and true masters see with their 'hearts' or 'spirits'!"
Shi Xiaofeng said calmly: "Master, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided, right? ”
The half-immortal sighed again and said, "Okay, whether you can hide or not depends on your creation." Boy, you had a very good life, but recently you have been suddenly stopped by a vicious evil, and there will be great calamity within ten days!"
Shi Xiaofeng's heart tightened suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then, I... Am I going to die?"
The half-immortal shook his head: "The old man's ability is limited, and he can't see the changes after that. However, the old man can conclude that if you are blessed and can finally escape this catastrophe, you will definitely rise to the top in the future, and the future is limitless! If you can't avoid it, you can't avoid it, alas, ...... it."
Shi Xiaofeng was originally open-minded, and said with a smile: "It's fateful to can't hide, it's useless for me to be in a hurry here, it's better to ignore it and let it be." ”
The half-immortal praised: "Let it be, well, it's good, it's good for young people to have this mentality!"
Shi Xiaofeng saw that it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the gate of the cemetery was about to close in half an hour, so he said, "Master, I still have something to do, so I will leave." By the way, how do you charge?" he said, pulling out his wallet.
The half-immortal grinned: "The old man is not a person who collects money, and he won't take a penny today." If your future fortune is as you say today, the old man only asks you for one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
The half-immortal pondered for a moment and said: "The old man has studied numerology all his life, there is nothing else, if you can avoid the catastrophe in ten days, I hope you will come here again, tell the old man the details of the situation, and see what kind of blessing can resolve such evil?"
"Okay, as long as I don't die, I will definitely come back to meet the master!"
Shi Xiaofeng bowed and saluted, raised his head and saw that the bluestone slab was empty, where was there still a figure?
He was shocked, and looked around, the half-immortal had indeed disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"I've always been here, but you can't see it. ”
Shi Xiaofeng finally understood that this obscene half-immortal must be a master who has mixed with the world.
