Chapter Twenty-Five: One Soul and One Spirit

The first time Fang Zhong woke up, he saw a white-haired old woman sitting on the bed, holding a rattan cane and glaring at him.

Fang Zhong shrank back in fear. The corners of the old woman's mouth slanted, and she let out a laugh like a scream, which was extremely unpleasant. said, "Boy, you're awake." ”

"This ...... Where is it? ”

"This is the old man's residence, are you still used to living?"

Fang Zhong remembered what he had done by the pool, turned his head to look around, and found that this room was quite large, there were many shelves against the wall, and I don't know what was placed in the urns and jars on it, except for the wooden table and wooden chairs, it was this big bed. The girl I met by the pool wasn't here. At that time, he was beaten by the old woman and fainted, and then he didn't know anything, and he didn't know where Puxuan Dao and his junior brother were.

The old woman said: "The old body sees that you have good bones, although refining and refining qi has just started, after all, you are still young, you have lived here for thirty or fifty years, and there is always hope for a breakthrough, unlike the old body, you have spent many years but you have no success, and there is no hope in this life." The old woman finally sighed.

Fang Zhong heard her say that she wanted to live by herself for thirty or fifty years, and said busily: "Old woman, the younger generation has to go elsewhere, and it won't be long before you live here." ”

The old woman glared at her horns, and said angrily: "The old man said that if you want to live, let alone thirty or fifty years, it will let you stay here for the rest of your life, and don't complain." Don't forget, if it weren't for the old man's mercy, you would have been beaten to death with a stick if you were so rude to Xian'er. ”

Fang Zhong was stunned: "The junior didn't do anything. ”

The old woman sneered: "My granddaughter Bingqing Yujie has never been seen by a man, let alone touched by someone's hands and feet. Not only did you look at it, but you touched it with your dirty hands, and even if you die a hundred times, you can't atone for it. Suddenly, he raised his cane and struck it on Fang Zhong's head. Under the shadow of the staff, no matter how Fang Zhong dodged, he would suffer this blow. With a pop, Fang Zhong was hit the door of his head. Fang Zhong only felt a pain on his head, and the shadow of the staff had disappeared, it turned out that this old woman was scaring and scaring himself, but with this move, Fang Zhong knew that this old woman's cultivation was extremely high, and he had no power to fight back at all.

"But the old body has thought about it again, it is not impossible to cook raw rice in this world, Xian'er is like a year old, she always has to find a mother-in-law, and she has a place to go, does the old body really take care of her for a lifetime? You kid is lucky, and he is the same age as Xian'er, just a good match, so it's better to start a family here and stay here with Xian'er for a lifetime. ”

Fang Zhong was stunned, and said, "Mother-in-law, isn't it a joke?" ”

The old woman said: "Do you think the old man is a joker? Needless to say, since this matter has been decided, it cannot be changed, so you can stay here with peace of mind. He stood up and walked out of the room slowly with his rattan crutches.

Fang Zhong's eyes widened, and he looked surprised, only to feel that Fang Cai was like a dream at that moment, at his young age, there was an old woman who didn't say a word, and wanted to marry a wife for himself, just because he had seen the girl named Xian'er take a bath.

Early the next morning, the clouds cleared and the sound of birds chirping resounded through the forest.

With a squeak, the door of the green house opened, and the old woman walked to Puxuan and Dingguan on crutches, and saw that the two were lying on the ground and sleeping well. Each of them fell a few crutches, waking them up.

The old woman said: "The old body saved your life, don't get up and work quickly." ”

Pu Xuan and Dingguan got up under the urging of the old woman, the old woman dropped a rusty wood knife, and the two took it to cut down trees, and at noon, dozens of large and small logs were piled up in front of the door.

The old woman took out a bamboo basket of variegated steamed buns from the house, and each of them divided two of them, and there were many left. The two of them were already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and they hurriedly ate after taking over, but they were bitter and had a hidden smell of medicine, thinking that the steamed buns were poisonous and hurriedly spit them out. When the old woman saw this, she said angrily: "It's not easy to get food here, how can you afford to waste it like this." If you don't eat it, you will pay me back. ”

Pu Xuan frowned and said, "Old woman, it's not that my senior brother doesn't eat it, it's just that this steamed bun seems to have some peculiar smell, I'm afraid it's ...... Not very clean. ”

Dingguan also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's very unpalatable." ”

The old woman said, "What's not clean?" There are a lot of physical-strengthening herbs added to this bun, and I don't know how much stronger than the usual buns, you are mortal with the naked eye, and you don't know what to do, so it's no wonder that the two of you are so poor in cultivation. "Dingguan is the same as Puxuan, she has only reached the realm of refining and refining qi before she reaches the realm of entering the body stage, and the old woman in front of her looks unfathomable, I really don't know what realm she has reached.

Pu Xuan looked at the steamed bun bite** Sure enough, a few petals, leaves, and stems were revealed, recalling the flowers and plants planted around here, his doubts suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, don't blame, it's because I can't adapt to this taste for a while, so I have this misunderstanding, I eat and I eat." After a few bites, I thought that this was still a medicine bun to replenish my body, but I didn't feel unpalatable. As soon as the bun fell into his stomach, Guojue's strength gradually recovered.

The old woman said: "After eating the old man's buns, who doesn't have the strength." ”

Pu Xuan and Dingguan hurriedly nodded yes.

The old woman took the rest of the bun again, walked up to the wild boar tied outside, and said, "Just look at this beast!" "Tilt the bamboo basket, pour out the rest of the buns, and the wild boar hums and chirps and eats.

Pu Xuan and Dingguan were dumbfounded, it turned out that this steamed bun was for pigs to eat, and he had the intention to vomit out the steamed bun he ate, but he finally filled his belly, and it was not so easy to vomit, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

The old woman pointed to the hideous little beast that was still surrounded by four-legged hooves and said: "This beast is a bit fierce, don't give it a bun to eat, hang it for a few days to kill." ”

Pu Xuan couldn't help but say, "Old woman, is this bun eaten by humans or animals?" ”

The old woman didn't look back and said, "It's all the same, just eat a long time." You two are not allowed to be lazy after eating the old man's buns, just go to work. In the evening, the old man will see the new house completed. ”

Pu Xuan sat down and sighed mournfully: "It's over, the two brothers and sisters are being raised as livestock, how do you live these days?" ”

How do you know that Dingguan said: "This day is not bad, there is no killing and strife, and living in peace, don't you see that her wild boar has a fat head and big ears, it is better than you, senior brother, I am thin, just about to raise, so this meal can also be eaten." He picked up the bun in his hand and took another bite.

In the evening, the old woman beckoned the two into the house, saying that the auspicious time had arrived, and she wanted to marry her grandson-in-law.

The two of them entered the house for the first time, and they couldn't help but take a little more care.

The main room was very large, and an old wooden chair was placed in the middle of the hall, and the old woman sat in the middle, with a red candle lit on a table behind her. Fang Zhong was sitting with a flower on his head, and the girl was wearing a wedding dress with a red handkerchief. The dress was so large that the cuffs and the skirt were folded several times. So this wedding dress is definitely not a girl's, maybe it is the old woman's own, but she left it for her granddaughter to wear.

There is also a side room next to the main house, and a lamp can be seen coming from the ground, which seems to be a cellar.

The old woman said: "Okay, the time has come, you two worship heaven and earth!" ”

The girl in the wedding dress suddenly lifted her head, revealing a delicate face that people would never forget at first sight, and Qi Zhu said angrily: "Mother-in-law, I won't play anymore, I want this little mother-in-law to compensate me for my tricks." Suddenly, there were more Puxuan and Dingguan in the room, and he said happily: "Huh? There are two more mothers-in-law. ”

Puxuan and Dingguan were stunned when they heard it, wondering when they would look like an old woman, this girl looked like a flower, and her vision was too bad.

The old woman said warmly on the chair: "Xian'er is not allowed to mess around, hurry up and visit the church." ”

The girl, who was called Xian'er, said, "I died of heat when I wore so many clothes." "When he threw away his hijab, he went to untie the knot on his waist. The old woman hurriedly said: "Stop quickly, don't you listen to your mother-in-law's words?" Pu Xuan and Dingguan rolled their eyes as they watched from the side, and said in their hearts that such a girl didn't understand anything, and she was going to go out of the cabinet to be a daughter-in-law.

The old woman left her seat and walked to Xian'er, and said kindly: "Good granddaughter, how can a person who has a husband be so casual." ”

Xian'er said stupidly: "Husband! What husband? ”

The old woman pointed at Fang Zhong and said, "This is your future husband." ”

Xian'er said: "This is the little mother-in-law, not the husband." ”

The old woman said: "After today, I will call my husband, don't want my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to scream." ”

Xian'er blinked and said: "Xian'er only knows that there is a mother-in-law, I don't want a husband, just a mother-in-law." ”

The old woman was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's really good, it's hard for my mother-in-law to hurt Xian'er." But the mother-in-law is old, in case the mother-in-law is not there, there will be no one to accompany Xian'er, so find a husband to accompany you. You like it. ”

Xian'er said happily: "I like it!" ”

The old woman said: "If you like it, listen to me, come, and your husband will come to the old man." Stopped Xian'er's hand from pulling Xifu, led her to the front, and grabbed Fang Zhong and brought her to the front. Fang Zhong's originally stupid expression was nervous, and just as he was about to speak, the old woman glared and said, "If you are a negative man, your mother-in-law will beat you to death." Let Fang Zhong have nothing to say.

"Salute!"

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two worship the high hall."

"Husband and wife worship each other."

……

Fang Zhong was almost forced by the old woman to finish the salute

Just after the ceremony, the fairy said, "Mother-in-law, the fairy is tired." As soon as he finished speaking, his body staggered, leaned on Fang Zhong's body, and after a while, he lay on Fang Zhong's body and fell into a deep sleep.

Fang Zhong hugged her and didn't know what to do, so he had to look at the old woman and said, "She's asleep." ”

The old woman nodded

Pu Xuanqi said: "This child sleeps so well? ”

The old woman said lightly: "If you only have one soul and one soul, I'm afraid that you will sleep better than her!" ”

Pu Xuan exclaimed: "One soul and one spirit? Where did the girl's two souls and six spirits go? ”

The old woman shook her head and said: "I don't know, the old body was already like this when she followed her, I didn't know that she was missing her soul, but when I saw her sleeping so well, I realized that something was abnormal, so I put her in the magic circle to observe the soul method, and was shocked to find that she was missing the soul." ”

Fang Zhong heard the old woman's words, and then he knew why this girl was a little weird, it turned out to be a person with an incomplete soul, no wonder the fairy spoke a little upside down. But such a person with an incomplete soul actually worshipped heaven and earth with himself, I really don't know how Yue Lao pulled the strings, or this is not counted at all, it should be a farce.

The old woman said: "The old body does it every month, but unfortunately every time he summons the spirit, he finds nothing, and it is almost self-defeating, attracting a few soul-devouring ghosts, but the two souls and six spirits are never nowhere to be found." ”

Dingguan said: "Could it be that when the two souls and six spirits wandered, they were beaten by the ** people and destroyed their bodies and spirits?" So you can't summon a soul. ”

The old woman sneered: "I don't know this truth, people should die if they lose their souls, and cultivators may not be able to save their souls and six souls, let alone a child." As soon as I knew that the child was wrong, I used the method of conjuring spirits to recruit each other, and there was no trace of the soul at that time. That's why this kid has survived to this day. The old body has to cast a spell every month, hoping that the two souls and six spirits will die first, and then they can recruit each other. ”
