Chapter 13: Xuan
"I have completed the task that the Guru asked me to convey, I am leaving Hangzhou tonight, the Guru said please find the pill as soon as possible, your ancestor once said that as long as you take the pill, you can open the seal in your brain, and the spirit bead will be released from your brain, and you have a very important mission to fulfill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info," Renqing said.
"Is the Zhang family connected to the Living Buddha of Delek? How can I find out? I asked.
"Since Mr. Zhang took the scriptures and left a hundred years ago, he has never contacted us again. However, the Guru can be sure that the thing is still untouched. Renqing said.
"How can he be sure?" I asked, "The human heart is unpredictable, maybe things are long gone." ā
"I used to ask my guru that. The lama said that when he asked Mr. Zhang to leave with the scriptures, he did not reveal to him the secret that the scriptures contained the map, but only told him that the scriptures were very precious and that they were treasures handed down from generation to generation of the Living Buddha, and that he should keep them with his close friends. There is a mechanism at the place where the Tibetan Friends Pill is opened, and as long as you open the Dele Living Buddha, you will receive a message, but how to receive it is not detailed by the Guru, only that it is related to one of the secret practices passed down from generation to generation of the Delek Living Buddha, and I guess it may be similar to the worm in Miao Yi witchcraft. Renqing explained to me.
"So what do I do next when I know this secret?" I asked, confused. From Xiaoqing and Zhu Ting, I learned that I am a descendant of Nuwa, and the spirit bead has been sealed in my brain since I was born; Renqing told me that my ancestors had left a pill that could open the seal and release the spirit bead, and that the map of the Tibetan pill was handed over to the Zhang family a hundred years ago. How do I find the Zhang family? After I find the pill and take it, will I go to hell to fulfill the duty of caring for Manzhu Shahua? If I go to hell, won't I die?
"Guru asked me to tell you one word ā 'Xuan'." Renqing replied.
"Xuan?" I looked at him puzzled.
"The natural universe, everything and everything, life and death, clutch and clutch, is a ring after a ring, a ring after a ring, and everything has already been arranged. Xiaomin, farewell! "Before saying goodbye, he handed me a jade pendant, and he said that it was a token of Mr. Zhang and the Living Buddha of Delek, and that the Zhang family would return the scriptures to me when they saw the token. Renqing left without saying goodbye to me, and I suddenly realized that maybe he knew that we couldn't see each other again.
That day, Na Mei didn't ask me about the secret after sending Renqing away, and the four of us went to class, got out of class, ate, and slept as usual. I went to Zhu Ting and the others again when I didn't go home for a week, and told her and Xiaoqing what Renqing told me and the tokens he left. Xiaoqing listened and was silent for a long time, and she told me that the woman in black was my mother, the Mother of Flowers. It turned out that all the flower mothers had been arranged, and Xiaoqing asked me to just wait, and the spirit bead would find the pill that opened the seal.
I hung the jade pendant that Renqing handed over to me around my neck, my mother once asked me about the jade pendant, I reasoned that it was given by Zhu Ting, and my mother later bought a jade pendant for me to give to Zhu Ting, she said that this is a gift exchange.
It was Saturday and I didn't go home, I came back from the library and opened the bedroom door to find that the bedroom was very lively, and it turned out to be Zhenzhen's parents who came to see their baby daughter, only to see Zhenzhen snuggled in her mother's arms, and the two of them were affectionately pulling homely, Zhenzhen's father laughed and shouted loudly to eat her mother's vinegar. When Zhenzhen saw me, she hurriedly greeted me and said, "Xiaomin, my parents have brought a lot of delicious food, come and eat with us." "That's when I saw that Zhenzhen's desk was full of big bags and small bags. Zhenzhen's father opened a bag of things and handed it to me with a smile: "Yes! Right! Right! to compensate for the specialties of our hometown! "Thank you, uncle!" I reached out to pick it up as I spoke, but I didn't expect the bag to slip and fall to the ground, I looked up and saw Zhenzhen's father staring at my chest and the jade pendant was stunned. "Zhenzhen's father, you said that a person as big as you can't even hold the bag tightly, so the children can see the joke." Zhenzhen's mother picked up the things as she spoke, and Zhenzhen grimaced at his father and laughed at his father. "This classmate, can you show me the solution?" Zhenzhen's father looked at me and said cautiously.
Could it be that he is a member of the Zhang family? But Zhenzhen is not surnamed Zhang? My mind was full of questions, but I still took the jade pendant off and handed it to him. "What's wrong?" Zhenzhen's mother looked at us suspiciously. "Dad, Xiaomin shouldn't be my sister!" Zhenzhen was joking on the sidelines. "Don't talk nonsense. Your name is Xiaomin? Whether I can take two pictures of Yu Pei, there are some things I can't say for sure. Zhenzhen's father said to me. I nodded, my gut telling me that he must be related to Jade Pei.
A few days later, Zhenzhen's father and an old man came to me and told me that the old man was their current patriarch, and the old patriarch also brought an old briefcase, which was the one I saw in my dream, and when I opened it, I saw that the briefcase contained two parchment scriptures. "Fortunately, the things entrusted to us by our ancestors have finally been completed in my generation!" The old patriarch said in a loud voice.
During the conversation, I learned what happened. At that time, Mr. Zhang was entrusted by the Living Buddha to escape from the monastery with the scriptures, but he did not expect to leak the news, and was chased and killed all the way, and later he also fell into the hands of the bandits, but fortunately one of his aunts stole the key to help him escape. In order to avoid the bandits tracking him and fled incognito to a village in Anqing, and later joined a local family and married the only daughter of the family. Before he died, Mr. Zhang told his son the secret and told him to keep the scriptures until he found the person with the tokens and returned them to him. And this has been a family secret of the Zhenzhen family for nearly a hundred years.
"Is that him?" I took out the portrait of Mr. Zhang drawn from the memory of my dream and handed it to the old patriarch. The old man trembled and took out a yellowed old photo from his pocket, and sure enough, the man in the photo was the man in my painting.
