Chapter 34: A Dream Within a Dream, Knowing the Sea and Refining the Soul
Under the shaking of the old camel, Wan Shengqiang held his eyelids and woke up.
The old camel said angrily: "You kid!"
Wan Sheng smiled: "I'm just too tired, I slept a little!"
Song Zhong pinched the corpse of the ghost hand seven on the bed, and was shocked on the spot: "Connected?!"
Wan Sheng smiled secretly in his heart, and his face was indeed solemn: "Song Tou, when I fell asleep just now, that ghost hand Qi Liu Meng gave me a dream!"
Song Zhong was stunned and said, "Tuomeng?"
The old camel also exclaimed: "You actually know his name? We only know his nickname and don't know what his name is!"
Wan Sheng said solemnly: "He told me in his dream! He said that he was unwilling to die, and wanted Dugu Hong to die with him, Dugu Hong's nest was on Taihu Lake Yishan Island, and he also said that he admired Song Tou's personality the most, and hoped to see him repent and confess, so he asked Song Tou to prepare a coffin for him to send him back to his hometown of Huzhou, Liujiazhuang, and he still had a seventy old mother at home......
What Wan Sheng said was serious, and Song Zhong was surprised when he heard it. Song Zhong looked at Wan Sheng with his eyes like electricity, Wan Sheng was open-minded, fearless, and the atmosphere in the entire morgue was solemn and strange for a while.
Finally, Song Zhong asked, "Finished?"
Wan Sheng nodded: "It's over!" In fact, before he finished speaking, Wan Sheng was hesitant to tell the matter of burying money in the temple. However, this broken temple is not a personal entrustment of the ghost hand, so let's not talk about it, right?
Song Zhong asked in a deep voice: "Do you know Huzhou, where is Taihu Lake?"
Wan Sheng was at a loss: "I haven't been out of Jianye ......"
Looking at Wan Sheng's eyes, which instantly became confused from the firmness just now, Song Zhong was thoughtful.
The old camel smiled and said: "Song Tou, this dream has always been absurd, how can it be used as the basis for the yamen to judge the case?"
Song Zhong was silent, and once again focused on the corpse on the bed, and the old camel was also shocked: "Boy, you actually connected it all!
Wan Sheng proudly grabbed a finger and demonstrated it in person: "- Turn to the left first, bypass the tendon inside, turn a few times on the right, let the tendon return to its place, and then touch the bone groove inside and press it hard to connect it!"
Song Zhong was shocked, and the old camel was even more dumbfounded!
Song Zhong grabbed Wan Sheng's palm, only to see that Wan Sheng's palm had shrunk into chicken feet, and he couldn't straighten it naturally.
Song Zhong said excitedly: "Boy, you really opened my eyes! This ghost hand seven is a person who practices martial arts, and his whole body is not comparable to ordinary people, not to mention the rigidity of his whole body in the past few days after death, and it is not something that ordinary people can handle, you can return to the position in one day, you are simply a genius in the world!"
Wan Sheng Dale: "I'm a genius in the world!?"
Song Zhong nodded and said to the old camel: "Take some relaxation from the pharmacy!"
"Okay. β
Wan Sheng was surprised: "Shu Jinsan?"
Song Zhong rubbed the knuckles of his palms for Wan Sheng and said: "Your hands are overworked and hurt your tendons, you don't feel it now, you will know it after a few hours, if you don't massage the blood, it will be cramped and swollen and painful, and the palm will be purulent and crippled." Now you can see my massage technique, which is also a Langzhong craftβ"
Wan Sheng excitedly said: "Okay!"
Then the old camel's medicinal powder was also brought, and after smearing the medicinal powder on the palm and fingers, Song Zhong was even more knuckle by knuckle, the snapping rhythm was indescribably hot and refreshing, and after a stick of incense, Wansheng's previously soft and numb fingers and arms that could not be lifted were finally able to move freely.
Wan Sheng was overjoyed: "Thank you Song Tou!"
Song Tou said in a deep voice: "You can get off work, don't mention this dream to anyone after you go back." Bandits have many eyes and ears in towns, and once they spread the word, they will get into trouble. β
Wan Sheng's heart sank: "Understood! What about him?"
Song Zhong sighed: "Although it is absurd, some things are rather believed, I will tell the county master in the way of receiving gossip, as for whether it will be successful or not, it is not for me to decide." As for the coffin, let it go first, and suddenly burying a robber will make the ears and eyes of the bandits in the city suspicious. β
"Got it!"
Looking at Wansheng's energetic figure leaving the courtyard, Song Zhong and the old camel looked at each other.
The old camel sighed: "Song Tou, do you really believe it?"
Song Zhong sighed: "Do you believe it or not?"
The old camel shook his head and was noncommittal, and then asked: "The cheapest of this coffin is three hundred Wen, Song Tou, you can't afford it?"
Song Zhong sighed: "It's not just that I can't afford it, this month's salary is almost spent on drinking, and today is only the 19th! There are still eleven days before the end of the month!"
The old camel was surprised: "Borrow?"
Song Zhong sighed: "Let's find a few big families to borrow first, if the dream is absurd and untrue, we bury Dugu Hong's brother can be regarded as giving him a face, and when he meets our yamen's brother in the future, he will also ask him to raise his noble hand to give face." If this really makes the kid right-"
The old camel frowned: "That's the court's one hundred taels of silver!"
Song Zhong's spirits perked up: "I'll talk to the county master right away!"
β¦β¦
Wansheng returned home in high spirits, although he was hungry and tired, but what happened today was too exciting and exciting.
The mother-in-law saw that Wan Sheng's face was good, and she was also quite pleased: "It seems that you are proficient in the Tao?"
Wan Sheng said with a smile: "Song Tou praised me today!
Mother-in-law was overjoyed: "And then?"
Wan Sheng smiled and sighed: "In fact, it is ghosts and gods who help!"
The mother-in-law smiled: "That's not worthy of the name, you have to step up and practice more, kung fu is not lazy." β
Wan Sheng was excited: "I will ......"
Even with his mother-in-law, Wan Sheng did not mention the matter of "dreaming". Not to mention that the wall has ears, what if it is heard by other ghosts? Sister Xiao Zhuo also said that some people will raise ghosts to be traitors, don't rule out those bandits who have ears and eyes to raise ghosts?
After taking a bath and eating, Wansheng began to embroider routinely again, the so-called combination of rigidity and softness, too much strength during the day, and of course to continue to activate the muscles and bones at night to evacuate the bruises.
The time has come, and Wan Sheng, who has been tired from a day, can't wait to light up and sleep.
Then Sister Xiao Zhuo's voice came as scheduled, Wan Sheng's eyelids opened, and a big river appeared in front of him.
Wan Shengqi said: "This is here?"
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "Take you to find a quiet place to teach you to refine your soul." β
Wan Sheng sighed, but Wan Sheng held back too many things to ask, so he asked: "Sister Xiao Zhuo, when I was working in Yizhuang today, the thief's soul came out of the corpse, and then I pinched his corpse, he would still ...... pain" So Wan Sheng told the experience of the day.
Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but be moved: "Fortunately, this is daytime, and fortunately this is a new ghost who doesn't understand anything, and fortunately, his corpse is unloaded with the bone joints of his whole body and can't move, otherwise this kind of ghost will cheat the corpse!"
Wan Sheng exclaimed: "Fraudulent corpse?"
Xiao Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Exactly! There is a kind of human soul that is particularly powerful, even if it dies for a long time, but the soul is still stationed in the body, this kind of ghost is also the most likely to become a zombie, even if the kind of powerful zombie with cultivation dismantles it into eight pieces, each of its pieces can still move, unless a thunder torch crushes its bones and burns it clean." β
Wan Sheng was shocked, and then asked: "Then he went back vaguely after crying and crying, so what is that?"
Xiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Maybe I'm going to give you a creation! When you know how to refine your soul, you will know it immediately, so let's teach you to refine your soul first." First, you sit cross-legged on the ground, just like me. β
So Xiao Zhuo meditated and sat in front of Wan Sheng. Sister Xiao Zhuo's appearance Wan Sheng has seen a lot, basically every time she destroys a ghost and sucks souls, she will meditate like this.
After Wan Sheng finished meditating, Xiao Zhuo instructed again: "Then you close your eyes, don't think about anything, it's better to fall asleep! Even if you can't sleep and be confused, if you can't even be confused, it doesn't matter, I have a way to make you confused." β
Wan Sheng exclaimed: "I'm already asleep, do I still want to sleep?"
Xiao Zhuo nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are already in a dream, only if you have another dream in a dream, you will be able to reach the sea of knowledge, and the soul refining will be carried out in the sea of knowledge!"
Wan Sheng was surprised: "A dream within a dream, what is Zhihai?"
Xiao Zhuo explained: "When you don't think about anything, your mind is empty, and you will see a river, or a cloud sky, or a starry sky. Under normal circumstances, only a monk or monk with a high level of cultivation can eliminate thousands of distracting thoughts and reach the state of selflessness, and only then can he see the sea of consciousness. Selflessness is selflessness, and only by achieving selflessness can we see the true self. β
"This is very difficult for ordinary people, and it is impossible for ordinary people to eliminate distracting thoughts, and the physical body's senses of the environment will give rise to distracting thoughts. But we are ghosts now, people and ghosts have different paths, things that are particularly difficult for people to do, ghosts are indeed much easier to do, such as entering the spiritual cultivation of Zhihai, in short, I say so much is just one sentence - just find a way to sleep. β
Wan Sheng suddenly said: "It turns out that it is sleeping!"
So Wan Sheng began to close his eyes and try to sleep......
However, now Wansheng is a ghost, how can he sleep without physical and mental exhaustion? And the more he thinks about sleeping, the more anxious Wansheng becomes, the more anxious he is, the more he can't sleep!
Just when he was anxious, Wan Sheng heard Sister Xiao Zhuo's laughter: "Forget it! I see that you are not thousands of miscellaneous thoughts, you are obviously thousands of miscellaneous thoughts! You are not a genius in the world!"
Wan Sheng opened his eyes and said in shame: "I can't do it now as a ghost, if I become a monk, wouldn't I be even more impossible?
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "Monk, haven't you heard that the monk is a hungry ghost in color? But color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and Wukong can also enter the realm of selflessness and ethereal." β
Wan Sheng was stunned!
Xiao Zhuo smiled again and said, "Sister Xiao Zhuo is beautiful, tell the truth!"
As soon as the words fell, a familiar fragrance came to his nose, Wan Sheng's expression was a little trance, and he couldn't help but nod shyly: "Sister Xiao Zhuo is the most beautiful sister I have ever seen!"
Xiao Zhuo smiled sweetly: "Then are you willing to let Sister Xiao Zhuo enter your sea of knowledge?"
Wan Sheng couldn't help it: "Of course I do!"
Xiao Zhuo smiled sweetly, Wan Sheng's expression was even more trance-like, and in the blurred eyes and fragrant nose, Wan Sheng seemed to have the whole world as if Xiao Zhuo's sister was like a fairy's beautiful face!
In the middle of nowhere, the golden light flashed in the world! Xiao Zhuo's fairy-like image disappeared from his eyes immediately, and then Xiao Zhuo's sister's voice came from his ears: "I see, that thief really gave you a creation, and you surpassed him with a little more merit!"
Only then did Wan Sheng find that there was a sea of black clouds in front of him, and a golden dot was shining in the sea of clouds!
Wan Sheng came back to his senses at this time: "What about Sister Xiao Zhuo? This is my sea of knowledge? The golden point is my merit?"
Sister Xiao Zhuo's voice came from outside the clouds: "Exactly! Since you can't enter by your own strength, I have to release some female ghosts to confuse you into it, so don't take what happened just now seriously! If you are entered by other female ghosts, then I dare not think about the consequences!"
Wan Sheng said shyly: "Because it's Sister Xiaozhuo......"
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "Let's not talk about this, do you see that black cloud? That is the earth soul you devoured, which has already filled your sea of consciousness, all you have to do is to stir and fuse these dark clouds like a stirred egg, until it is stirred into a ribbon as black and bright as the starry sky, that is the purest earth soul power, do not seek more, only refinement." β
Wan Sheng was surprised: "How to stir it?"
"Imagine yourself as a whirlwind, or something else, here is your sea of consciousness is your world, you can't do it without you, only you can't think of it, this process of imagination is also called mind, ordinary people's minds can only act on the sea of consciousness is not able to get out, once you go out, it is divine thought. The process of activating the mind can be tiring, but it is precisely because it is tired that it is called soul refining. And you have a little more merit, and the golden light of this merit will make you pay attention to it from time to time, and that will be better, and it will make you more focused, so you can stir up the dark clouds with the golden light of merit as the center, and I will guard it for you outside. β
Wan Sheng excitedly said: "Got it! I really didn't think that I would get a little merit, I was only thinking about the money he buried." β
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "It is precisely because you can't think of it that you have obtained it, although the so-called intention to do good is not rewarded, the more you think about earning merit, the more merit you have." β
"Got it. β
So Wan Sheng looked at the dark clouds under him and silently activated his imagination: Turn into the wind and move me!
Sure enough, Wan Sheng's mind was in his mind, and a strong wind whistled out, and the dark clouds immediately urged! Wan Sheng was greatly surprised: "Bigger wind! Hurry up! ...... big point"
