Although the purpose of cultivating is to seek immortality, since the beginning of the Dao, there are few people who do not say that they have become immortals, and there are few immortals. Grandpa Chen's funeral was very simple. A fire, turned into ashes, and then sprinkled into the river. After meeting Grandpa Ah Short that night, I am less saddened by Grandpa Chen's departure.

The judge will not come to the world easily, and there are usually only two situations. One is that the soul is deeply sinful, murdering Yingchuan, and there is a heavenly way. When there is no one in the world to stop him, the judge will send out with the ghost. And Grandpa Chen obviously belongs to the second type, the dead accumulate merits, and the underworld has other arrangements. Probably, Grandpa Chen will also become a ghost, right? I didn't tell anyone about it. The name of the short patriarch, although it is not taboo in the Daomen, but it is not something that can be mentioned casually.

When everything was done, I went home. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Da Niu and others were already waiting at home. When Lai Theorem saw me coming back, he asked, "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm fine." ”

"Really? How can I see that your face is wrong? Lai continued to ask.

"What's wrong with your face?" I asked.

Lai Theorem looked at me seriously, and then said, "Your face doesn't seem to be so good." I'm also worried if you're going to faint from crying. ”

I have a thick line on my face, and I naturally can't tell Lai's theorem for various reasons. I said, "Okay, I'm fine." Do you want me to be bloodless? ”

Lai Shiren shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not afraid that you will be too sad, but I don't know how to express it." After speaking, Lai Theorem stepped forward and hugged me, touched my back and said, "Good Eleven, cry if you want to, I'm here." ”

I was stunned for a moment, but when I came back to my senses, I said, "Okay, I'm really fine." You don't have to worry. However, there is one thing I have to tell you in advance, it is that you are making a fuss. ”

"What's the matter?" Lai Theorem let go of his hand and looked at me with some confusion and asked.

I said, "Although Grandpa Chen is not my blood relative, nor is he my master. However, I already regarded him as my relative. So, for the next week, I will keep filial piety for him. ”

Lai Theorem shook his head and asked, "What is not eating?" ”

The big cow also came over and said, "Senior brother, do you really want to keep filial piety and not eat?" ”

"Questions?" I asked.

Da Niu said: "That's naturally no problem, and Master won't object." How many days are you going to keep it, though? ”

Seeing that we ignored her, Lai Theorem said a little angrily: "Tell me quickly, what is filial piety and not eating?" Just don't eat? And what does it mean to keep a few days? ”

Erhu on the side thought for a while and replied: "It's not that you don't eat, it's just that you drink a bowl of water every day and eat one grain each." ”

Lai Theorem frowned and asked, "And then?" Without? ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I'm going to keep it for seven days." ”

"Seven days!" Everyone exclaimed.

Da Niu came back to his senses and said, "Senior brother, I understand what you mean. But it is enough to keep it for three days. It's time for the heart to arrive. Seven days, that's too long. ”

Not eating, originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, during that period, Taoist culture was influenced by Confucian culture, that is, love is the implementation of the system of filial piety. Prior to this, there was no clear system of filial piety in the Daomen. It is a form of filial piety in Taoism. It is also the highest form of the standard second only to the thirty months of the system. It is usually said that the apprentice is filial piety for the master or the ancestor. The time is also divided into: three days, five days, and seven days. Three days are the most common.

Lai Theorem listened to Erhu's explanation on the side, and also understood, and said: "Zhang Shiyi, are you crazy, seven days?" You're going to starve. ”

I said, "I'm not crazy, we're all like this. I've decided. ”

Lai Theorem looked at me, then at the big bull and tiger, and saw that no one spoke. He said, "No, I'm going to call Master, I'm going to talk to him." You can't fail to listen to him. Speaking of me, Lai Theorem took out the phone and pressed a few numbers, and after a while, Lai Theorem said to the phone: "Master, something big has happened." Then, Reithem began to explain the matter again. Then he said, "Senior brother, you must not let Eleven do this, otherwise you will starve to death." Don't eat, just drink water, it's okay for three days, seven days, it's going to die. ”

Then, Lai's theorem began to fall silent. The master on the other end of the phone seemed to say a lot. Lai looked up at me from time to time, then nodded and said, "Well, I understand." "yes, I know." In the end, instead of speaking, Lai handed me the phone and said, "Master wants to talk to you." ”

I took the phone, and the master on the other end of the phone smiled = and said: "Eleven, the master has no objection to you not eating for seven days." You should do it. Xiaoli, I've made it clear, you don't care about her. For you, this is not a kind of exercise, and I believe that you will be able to survive it. ”

I nodded and said, "Disciple understands, thank you, Master." ”

"Well, that's it. Your master must think the same way, if Xiaoli still troubles you, don't get used to her, I already told her just now. Master Bo said.

After hanging up the phone, I said to Lai's theorem, "That's it." "Big Niu, Second Tiger, you have to protect Senior Sister Lai during this time. I would stay in the room all the time. Prepare me a bowl of water every day, and put it in front of the door

Da Niu said with some worry: "Senior brother." You're like this, how do we know about you..."

I smiled and said, "Every morning you see the empty water bowl outside the door, it means I'm fine." Don't worry about me. Lai Theorem had not spoken since then, and when I saw him like this, I said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Lai Theorem pursed his lips and said, "Hmph." Then he turned around and went back to his room.

I said to Erhu: "Look at you, Senior Sister Lai, you know that she will do something stupid when she is angry. ”

Da Niu and Erhu have obviously also seen the barbarism of Lai's theorem. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, senior brother." ”

When I got back to my room, I changed into my burlap clothes and began to meditate. A person can live up to three days without drinking water. If you only have water, you can live for ten days. So even though seven days looks long, it's not impossible. What's more, during these seven days, all I have to do is meditate and rest, and the consumption of energy is minimized. As for one grain each day, it is just a symbol and has little effect.

He took a deep breath and let go of the distractions in his mind. I closed my eyes and started meditating. (To be continued.) )
