Chapter Twenty-Three: Searching for the Undead in the Valley, Lucky to Be Reincarnated!

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of a certain day at the end of August 1982, Xiaohui, Hu'er, Xiaoqing, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng followed the treasure convoy of Caide's father and Dongmei's mother and returned to the Mo family's home in the tea processing factory in Xianling County.

After the five treasure trucks unloaded all the boxes full of treasures in the underground warehouse of the tea factory, Xiaoqing, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng took their luggage and rode home on their bicycles. Their home is not far from Xiaohui's house, Xiaoqing's home is still in the vegetable garden near the middle school, Lin Qingfeng's home is in the county middle school teacher's dormitory, and Dong Taiduo's home is in Dongjia Village, only two kilometers away from here.

After Mrs. Dong and the others left, Xiaowen, Wenlong and Xiaoying surrounded Xiaohui and Hu'er in the living room, wanting to listen to their stories.

Hu'er smiled and said, "Alas, our story is so simple! Just watch the construction site, eat, sleep! And then what?! Every day is like this!"

Everyone laughed!

Xiaowen smiled and said, "We all know that you must be bored there! The three of us have fun at home! After my name is Mo Xiaowen, I spent three days to get Wenlong, Xiaoying, and their families to change their words! Also, Wenlong and Xiaoying have taught me to use the daily vocabulary of Zhuang and the daily language of Zhuang language! Now, I no longer feel that Zhuang is a foreign language!"

Xiaoying smiled and said, "Alas, Sister Xiaowen! The Zhuang language spoken is all in the Beijing dialect! The workers in our factory can't understand what she is talking about at all! They still think that Sister Xiaowen is speaking the local dialect of Beijing! Let Wenlong and I translate for them!"

Everyone laughed!

Xiaohui smiled and said: "Xiaowen! Zhuang language is a local dialect! If everyone can understand it, let's still speak Mandarin! To learn a language, it is to listen more, speak more, and use more, so that you can naturally learn it!"

Xiaowen smiled and said: "Yes! At first, my pronunciation of Zhuang was inaccurate! However, now my pronunciation has been reversed! Brother, sister, in the future, you will teach us to fly into the sky, break boulders in the air, learn mana, and use magical weapons, we will go with you to slay demons and eliminate demons, and become gods!"

Huzi said: "Xiaowen! Now, you are only three-year-old children, and your physique is not yet sound, and practicing at this time will hurt your body! When you are five years old, we are teaching you these kung fu!"

Xiaoying smiled and said, "Yes! Mom said, practicing and cultivating immortals is a lifelong thing, and you can't be in a hurry! Let's go to the courtyard and play hide and seek! Sister Xiaowen! You come to me and Wenlong!"

So, the three children ran out to play games with a smile.

......

A few days after Xiaohui and Hu'er went home, Xianling County Middle School opened, Xiaohui, Hu'er, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng were all promoted to the high school special training class, and those who entered this class were all top students who were admitted to the county high school, so they can take the college entrance examination after a year of study, and the head teacher of this class is Lin Qiankun teacher!

On the first day they went to school, Mr. Lin also came back from the Longhushan construction site to deal with things.

At half past four in the afternoon, before the school ended, Teacher Lin called Xiaohui, Hu'er, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng to his office to talk.

Teacher Lin said with a smile: "The Dharma meeting of the Xiuzhen Society at the construction site of Longhu Mountain has been held very successfully! The lonely souls and wild ghosts there have been placed by the Yin Chasers, and the construction of the 'Comfort Pagoda' on the site of Longhu Mountain has also begun! The heavenly soldiers and generals have gone down to exterminate all the demons and monsters there! Now, the entire Longhu Mountain construction site has been fully started! In the future, you should not care about the affairs of the Xiuzhen Society for the time being, you can study with peace of mind, the four of you are my closed disciples, and in a year, you must take the examination for the first-class school in the country, and win glory for me and the Xianling Middle School!" ”

Hu'er smiled and said: "Teacher Lin! The four of us have already opened our eyes! It is not a problem to read, learn theoretical knowledge, and apply knowledge to analyze and solve problems! It is not a problem to be admitted to the top prize! It's just that I don't want to leave home and go outside to study!"

Teacher Lin smiled and said: "Alas! Loving one's family is a good virtue! However, if you want to learn true knowledge and long experience, you have to go far away! What else can you learn from us? You should be prepared to leave home and go to the outside world to work hard for a few years! In this way, when you return from your studies, you will be able to better serve the villagers!

......

After the start of school, Xiaohui and Huzi's high school special training class entered an intense learning stage, they had almost no weekends and holidays, and they had to study by themselves at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Of course, no matter what they are doing, they must be admitted to university to win glory for their families, Mr. Lin and the school.

In order to study, they no longer participate in many activities other than studying, and Hu'er and Dong Taiduo quit the training of the school basketball team.

One day at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Hu'er, Xiaohui, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng sat on the grass next to the school's basketball court, watching and identifying basketball.

Dong Taiduo smiled and said, "Hu'er! I haven't played basketball for a long time, I really want to have a good time!"

Lin Qingfeng smiled and said, "Alas! I feel that this kind of game is too boring! Isn't it just grabbing the ball, dribbling the ball, and shooting?! I feel that in this regard, gorillas do a better job than humans!"

Everyone laughed!

Dong Taiduo smiled and said: "Lin Qingfeng! You are a complete nerd! You don't like anything except books! You always have to find something you like to do, right?

Huzi smiled and said, "Okay! Lin Qingfeng's hobby is also good! Reading is indeed more interesting than playing basketball! Reading can cultivate immortals, but playing basketball can only become a gorilla!"

Everyone laughed!

Xiaohui smiled and said: "Alas, everyone! It will be my father's birthday in a few days! When the time comes, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng, you can go to my house as guests! On that day, we will kill chickens and sheep! Make a lot of delicious things!"

Lin Qingfeng said: "Sister Hui! Thank you! I'm a vegetarian now! I'm sick to the big fish and meat! I'm not going!"

Dong Taiduo smiled and said, "Okay! Lin Qingfeng doesn't eat fireworks in the world! I will eat! When the time comes, I will bring gifts with my father Dong Xiuxian!"

......

All day on October 3, Xiaohui and Hu'er took leave from school to help at home and organize the 43rd birthday party for Caide's father.

After everyone finished lunch, Xiaohui and Hu'er chatted with Caide's father and Dongmei's mother over tea in the living room at home.

Dongmei's mother said: "Alas! Caide! You are 43 years old this year, and your mother has been gone for 43 years! Tomorrow is the death day of his old man! I don't know how her old man is doing in the underworld.

Caide's father said: "Yes! When my father was alive, he wanted to help my mother survive the dead many times! However, my mother's family resented my father, so they did not agree to my father's suggestion! They took my mother's body back to my mother's house for burial according to their customs! Forty-three years later, they didn't let our Mo family go to my mother's grave! We can only do this every year, after my birthday, I will celebrate my mother's death!"

Hu'er said, "Dad, where is my grandmother's hometown, and what is her last name?"

Caide's father said: "Hu'er! Your grandmother's hometown is in the north of Mowei Village, and in the mountainous area of 50 kilometers, there is Qianlong Village in Qianlong Mountain! Your grandmother's surname is Lan, and her name is Lan Caifeng! The Lan family is all Orion soldiers, and they are fierce and brave! Hu'er, you must not go to that place in Qianlong Village!"

Hu'er said: "No! For grandma's undead! For the sake of the Lan family's kindness! Even if I die, I will also find grandma's undead! I want to go over for grandma and let her be reincarnated!"

Dongmei's mother said: "Alas, the Mo family and the Lan family have constant grievances! The second master's wife, the second grandma is also the Lan family of Qianlong Village, her name is Lan Cailian, two years younger than your grandmother! Grandma Cailian should also return to her hometown!"

Xiaohui said: "Dad, Mom, let me and Huzi go to Qianlong Village! We want to do our filial piety for our grandmothers!"

Caide's father wiped away his tears and said: "Hu'er, Hui'er! You are good children of your parents! Qianlong Village is more than 100 kilometers away from here, which is not very far! If you want to go, wait until you have winter vacation! We should really take good care of the two grandmothers!"

......

At 10 a.m. on February 2, 1983, Xianling Middle School had its winter vacation.

Xiaohui, Hu'er, Dong Taiduo and Lin Qingfeng and other four people discussed how to spend the summer vacation in the classroom.

Hu'er said, "Two senior brothers, tomorrow, my sister and I are going to go to Qianlong Village to find the spirits of my two grandmothers!

Lin Qingfeng said: "Hu'er! This holiday, I want to help my mother sell clothes! Also, I want to do my homework a little harder! Therefore, I can't accompany you to play in the mountains! I advise you not to go to that place in Qianlong Village, because the people there have strange customs, and they don't believe in our Xiuzhen Society at all! Alas, the most difficult thing to do in this world is to convince others!"

Dong Taiduo smiled and said: "Alas, Lin Qingfeng! I feel that you are not only a nerd, but also a small citizen of the market! Hu'er and Xiaohui, I will accompany you! I heard that the place in Qianlong Village is picturesque, people walk in paintings, and non-immortals become immortals!"

Everyone laughed!

.......

Early in the morning of February 3, Mrs. Dong rode a bicycle and took his luggage to Xiaohui's house.

Caide's father smiled and said, "Hu'er, Xiaohui, and Taiduo! Your things are all on the truck! Wait a minute, you drive to the tea farm in Mowei Village, and then change into three fast horses there, and take dry food, luggage, and gifts to Qianlong Village! When you arrive at Qianlong Village, you go to Patriarch Lan Xianlong, who is over 60 years old and is the younger brother of Grandma Huzi! Patriarch Lan should not drive his nephew out of the village! However, if you can't convince them, let you do things! You must not come by force! Otherwise, it will not be good to hurt the harmony of your relatives!"

Hu'er smiled and said, "Dad! You can rest assured! The exercises of our Xiuzhen Society are Dafa and the Great Truth! As long as there are wisdom roots, people who open their eyes can know that when we promote Buddhism and Taoism, we are doing good deeds and saving the people in the world! I believe that Buddhism and Taoism can influence people's hearts!"

So, after the three of them said goodbye to their parents, younger brothers and sisters, they drove a truck to the tea farm in Mowei Village.

......

At 9 a.m., they drove their truck to the tea farm contracted by the Mo family in Mowei Village.

After they had breakfast in the tea field canteen, they brought the tea field canteen to prepare dry food and drinking water for them, as well as gifts for the Lan patriarch, etc., and the three of them each rode three horses and set off in the direction of Qianlong Village.

In this season, the mountains are a little cold, but because the Qianlong Mountain area belongs to the transition zone of plains, hills and plateaus, the climate is not as cold as the Longhu Mountain area, so the three of them feel that the mountain road to Qianlong Village is not so difficult to walk.

In this season, the scenery on the way from Mowei Village to Qianlong Village is beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere, warm spring flowers, and fragrant birds, so the three of them are in a very good mood!

Along the way, they rode horses, walked and stopped, drank water when they were thirsty, ate dry food when they were hungry, and rested when they were tired!

......

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them rode horses, and after a long and winding Yanggu mountain road, they entered Qianlong Village.

Qianlong Village is located in the valley halfway up the Qianlong Mountain, where there are two or three hundred households, and it is a big cottage of the Yao family. The houses here are all wooden stilted buildings.

After inquiring with the mountain people, they found the home of the patriarch of Lan Xianlong.

The house of the Lan patriarch is the largest, best and most beautiful house in the whole village, the house is an old-fashioned courtyard house, with a front yard, a patio atrium, a backyard, and the side houses around the courtyard and atrium are two-story wooden houses.

There are trees and flowers in the yard, relaxing stone tables and chairs, and a lotus carp pond.

The Lan Patriarch's house is managed by the clansmen, and after the clansmen know that Hu'er is the nephew of the Lan patriarch, they let them place the horses in the backyard stable.

After that, under the guidance of the clan, the three of them went to see the Lan Xianlong patriarch with gifts.

The patriarch of Lan Xianlong explained to the three teenagers in a large antique living room, they met and introduced each other, and after giving gifts, they began to sit down to drink tea and talk.

Patriarch Lan smiled and said, "Hu'er, Hui'er, Taiduo! You are rare guests! Hu'er, your parents are good people! They send several groups of people every year to send us supplies from outside the mountain! Although the Lan family and the Mo family have not been in contact for decades! However, everyone knows in their hearts that the two families are blood relatives who are connected by roots!"

Hu'er said: "Yes, uncle! Since we were young, our parents have also taught us in this way! Let us remember our kindness and respect our elders! Do more good deeds for our fellow villagers!"

Patriarch Lan smiled and said, "Hu'er, thank you for recognizing me as my eldest uncle! Are you just here to visit me in the cottage this time?!" What else do you have to do?!"

Hu'er said: "Uncle! My grandmother is your own sister! I know that you love her very much! Actually, our Mo family is like this! Therefore, the purpose of our visit this time is to understand the recent situation of Grandma Lan Caifeng, Grandma Lan Cailian, and their undead spirits through Taoist magic, and then I will do a transcendence for them and let them reincarnate as human beings!"

Patriarch Lan patted the table and said, "Hu'er! Other things can be done!

After everyone was silent for a moment, Hu'er said: "Patriarch Lan! Your life experience and life feelings are deeper than Hu'er's! However, you are inferior to Hu'er in terms of penetrating the essence of all things! Everything in the world will eventually inevitably decay, run out of oil, and dry up! Only the soul will not be extinguished! The two grandmothers are now just helpless lonely souls and wild ghosts, and you think that you are no more than a hundred years of flesh and blood! If you can guarantee that their souls in the underworld can be protected and not suffer from suffering? Love is not the greatest kindness! The greatest kindness is to free all souls from suffering and eventually become immortals!"

After listening to Hu'er's speech, Patriarch Lan burst into tears and couldn't cry!

After the Lan patriarch regained his composure, he said: "Hu'er! I have studied in Xianling County for a few years! I can understand what you say! The graves of your two grandmothers are on the mountain behind the cottage! When do you want to go there to do errands?!"

Hu'er said: "Uncle! Saving lives is like fighting fire! We will show the souls of the two grandmothers at twelve o'clock tonight, and then we will reincarnate them!"

Patriarch Lan said, "Okay! Huzi! You eat something first! Prepare your tools and take a rest! It only takes half an hour to get to the back mountain from here! When the time comes, I'll let the family take you there!"

......

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu'er, Xiaohui and Taiduo took ritual utensils and sacrificial supplies, followed by seven or eight family members with torches, and went to the back mountain together.

After they arrived at the mountain behind the cottage, the family told Hu'er that the graves of Grandma Lan Caifeng and Grandma Lan Cailian were side by side.

According to the tombstone, after the grandmother disappeared from chopping wood, the Lan family found her body at the foot of a mountain, and then the Lan family summoned her soul and brought her body here for burial.

After Hu'er and the others inspected the two tombstones, Hu'er, Xiaohui and Taiduo began to set up the table and try to make an altar!

When everything was ready, Xiaohui and Taiduo set up offerings and lit incense and candles.

Hu'er began to do it and let the two grandmothers manifest!

Soon, they saw two pale blue lonely souls floating out of the cemetery through the Eye of Heaven!

However, the family members who did not open the eyes of heaven could not see it at all, so in order to let the family members witness the manifestation, Hu'er threw some soul powder into the air!

Suddenly, the family who saw the soul shadows of the two grandmothers knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing!

Huzi said, "Two grandmothers, I am your grandson! I am going to call Yin Si and Yin Cha now, and take you to reincarnate as human beings! Are you willing?"

The two lonely souls wept and kept nodding at the tiger!

So, Huzi clasped his palms together and recited the mantra silently!

Soon, a white light shot from the sky towards the altar!

Suddenly, the Yin Priest of Xianling County, Venerable Zhudu, and the two Yin Cha stood in front of Huzi and them.

Venerable Zhudu smiled and said, "Wenhu Shaoxia! After receiving your request, I will immediately bring two minions! The lonely souls of your two grandmothers will be handed over to us! They are lucky! There is a pregnant woman in Xianling County who is about to give birth to twins! We will take them away immediately! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

Huzi smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you to the gods! What kind of family is it?"

Venerable Zhudu said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed! You can check it! Tomorrow morning, twins will be born in Xianling County!

Then, Venerable Sudu asked the two Yin Cha to take away Hu'er's two grandmother's lonely souls, and they turned into a white light and flew into space!

After the ceremony, they packed up their belongings, extinguished the incense, etc., and the three of them followed the family back to the cottage to rest with the ritual weapons.

......

At noon the next day, after having lunch at the Lan patriarch's house, they were about to leave the cottage and return to Xianling County.

Patriarch Lan smiled and said, "Hu'er, I didn't expect your mana to be so strong! Although I didn't witness the gods last night, the family members told me! They were all impressed by your mana and benevolence! Thank you for what you did for the Lan family!"

Hu'er smiled and said, "Patriarch Lan! We are a family whose blood is thicker than water! In the future, if necessary, I will definitely come here at night to solve your worries and problems! Taoism and Buddhism are our common wealth! Everyone should have them!"

After they finished talking, the family escorted the three of them out of the cottage, and after they came out of the cottage, they rode horses and spurred their horses to gallop towards Xianling County!

......

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them returned to the Mo family's home in Nahao Village, Xianling County.

They told Decai's father and Dongmei's mother that they were in the house of the Lan patriarch of Qianlong Village to rescue the two grandmothers in the back mountain of the cottage.

After hearing this, Dongmei's mother smiled and said: "Alas! This is really a great joy! This morning, when our family first came to Nahao Village, we rented out a house to our family, and a pair of twin daughters were born! These two baby girls must have been reincarnated by two grandmothers! At noon, when I went to give them gifts and visit the children, they also asked me to recognize the two baby girls as goddaughters! They said that I was a high school student and educated! Let me name the two children! This family is surnamed Huang, and I gave them two names, Huang Chunyue and Huang Chunxiang!

Caide's father smiled and said, "Children, your merits are immeasurable! In the future, we will take care of Huang Chunyue and Huang Chunxiang!"

Everyone laughed!
