Chapter 14, Spirit
"I'm ......" Murong Xiaoyan pondered for a long time and said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's been so long since I came out, anyway, I will be punished when I go back, and I won't get in the way later." ”
Chu Haoge nodded and said, "Okay, but hearing you say this, I really want to have a chance to visit your sect." ”
Murong Xiaoyan answered and said, "There is always a chance." After that, Murong stopped talking and stared at Chu Haoge for a long time.
Chu Haoge touched his face a little embarrassed and asked her, "What's wrong...... Do I have anything on my face? ”
"No ......," Murong shook his head and said, "I just think you've changed a lot compared to before." As he spoke, a touch of crimson appeared on Murong's face.
Hearing Murong say this, Chu Haoge smiled, puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, I'm much better than before." ”
Murong Xiaoyan smiled bitterly and shook his head......
A few days later......
In the house where Fang Yan is located, after a few days of recuperation, with the prescription prescribed by Jiuli Qiantaro and the treatment of Snow Lotus, Fang Yan can basically get out of bed and walk, although he still needs to be accompanied, but there is still some improvement.
At this time, Fang Yan was dressed in loose clothes, meeting with everyone in the courtyard, just meeting with Fang Yan, Fang Yan bowed to the four people, looked at Lin Wan'er on the side, Lin Wan'er also bowed to them, Fang Yan said: "The life-saving grace Fang Yan is unforgettable, if you have any orders, you should do your best." ”
Chu Haoge and the other three didn't speak, Murong Xiaoyan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiao Yan, what are you doing here, let's be sisters, what are you doing with those polite words?" ”
Fang Yan lowered his head and said: "These few days you are tired of running around, Fang Yan is very grateful in my heart, Fang Yan can not be rewarded, if from now on everyone can use my dialect and the words of the Fang family, the dialect will definitely work for dogs and horses." ”
Jiuli Qianyao couldn't get used to these righteous and awe-inspiring words that promised something, and the reason why she was looking for Tianshan Snow Lotus was nothing more than to see Murong Xiaoyan's face, in fact, it had little to do with this dialect.
Jiu Li Qianyu said: "Since Fang Gongzi's injuries have basically healed, we also have other things to do, so we won't bother anymore." ”
Chu Haoge on the side was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiuli Qiantaro, Jiuli Qiantaro glanced back, and Chu Haoge remembered, "By the way, they said before, this time they will go to Buzhou Mountain together, one is to ask Jiuli Qiantaro about killing dust, and the other is to ask where his father is." ”
The four of them quickly said goodbye to the dialect, and one after another packed up their salutes and walked out of the city, preparing to fly to Buzhou Mountain after leaving the city.
As they walked out of the city, they happened to pass by the door of the house where the child had been a few days ago, and saw that the door of the house was open, and the little boy was running and jumping in the yard looking very cheerful, while the woman was sitting on a stool at the door, looking at the little boy in the yard with a kind face.
Seeing such a warm scene, everyone was relieved, they had felt that there was something wrong with this little boy and this old woman, maybe it was just their illusion, and there was nothing strange about it like this.
And now it's daytime, if one of the two is transformed by a ghost, how dare he appear in broad daylight, at such a moment as full of yang energy.
The four of them took one look and were about to leave, but they overheard the neighbors of the family discussing something in a whisper.
It was an old man who said to a middle-aged man on the side: "Alas, it's a very good person, why are you greedy for such a thing?" ”
"yes." The middle-aged man on the side also sighed very regretfully, and said: "Aunt Liu is such a good person, but her fate is not good, alas, after that incident, people have become crazy." ”
"I don't know if it's evil." The old man looked at the woman sitting on the bench at the door and said, "If you fall into the evil spirit, go and ask a half-fairy to come and see it, and maybe you can be cured." ”
"I don't see it." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I think it's because I'm stimulated to do this." ”
The four of them slowed down on the side, and the more they listened, the more strange they felt, until finally they couldn't help it, Chu Haoge stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, uncle, what did you two just say, can you tell us about it." ”
The two of them were stunned when they saw them come forward to talk, and they looked at each other for a while and no one spoke, they didn't know these four people, how could they tell them about other people's disasters?
After a long time, the old man looked at the crowd and asked, "Who are you?" "Looks like he's wary of them.
Chu Haoge's eyes rolled in his sockets, and he pointed to Mo Feiming next to him and said, "We, it's from the Qingyun Sect, and this is the eldest disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Mo Feiming." ”
As soon as he said this, the old man and the middle-aged man were stunned, and Mo Feiming on the side was also stunned, and said in his heart, Brother Chu, why do you always use the name of my Qingyun Sect disciple to talk about things?
Originally, Chu Haoge didn't want to, but who made his name easy to use? Chu Haoge looked at Mo Feiming very embarrassedly and smiled wryly.
"......" Mo Feiming was also deeply helpless when he saw his scoundrel appearance, shook his head and said nothing more.
At this time, the old man and the middle-aged man reacted, and the two said in unison: "You are immortal masters? As he spoke, they had an expression of disbelief, and then gradually became suspicious, the immortal master is rarely seen, and some people are extremely poor and difficult to see once in their lives, how can it be that these four young people in front of them are the legendary immortal masters?
Chu Haoge shook his head and said, "I'm not. As he spoke, he pointed to Mo Feiming on the side and said, "But he is." ”
The two looked at Mo Feiming, and there was really an aura on his body that a master should have, and that temperament was difficult to learn.
Without waiting for the two of them to bow to Mo Feiming, Chu Haoge continued: "I just heard from the two of you that someone may have fallen into evil, I wonder if you can tell us a little bit more?" ”
As soon as he heard that it was the immortal master who came to inquire, the old man didn't hide it anymore, and told everyone the truth about the matter.
The old man told them that the person sitting at the door was the "Aunt Liu" they had spoken of earlier, that is, the mother of the child they had seen a few days earlier.
The old man said: "This Aunt Liu is a well-known good person, abiding by women's morals, being kind and helpful, she will always help others when they are in trouble, Aunt Liu was married seven or eight years ago."
But this Aunt Liu's life is not good, a year and a half after she got married, her husband died, at that time Aunt Liu was pregnant, she ran around with her pregnant body, handled the funeral for her husband, and kept his spirit.
After that, Aunt Liu gave birth to a son for her dead husband, she said that this was a gift left to her by her husband, and she wanted to raise him well, so Aunt Liu and her son depended on each other.
In order to support the children, Aunt Liu ran around to make a living, doing some female workers for this family, and doing handymen for that family, and finally the children gradually grew up, and the family was still well fed and clothed, and the life was not rich but tasteful.
Every year, on the day of her husband's death, she would take her children to visit her husband's grave, and this was the case for several years.
I thought that life would go on so peacefully, but the world is impermanent...... Alas. ”
As he spoke, the old man sighed and shook his head, looking very sorry.
Everyone heard the point, who knew that the old man actually stopped, which made their curiosity a little restless, Murong Xiaoyan hurriedly asked: "Old man, say it quickly, what happened after that, what happened after that?" ”
"Ugh." The old man shook his head and continued: "The world is impermanent, good people always suffer disasters, alas, ...... a few days ago" the old man said, his voice trembled a little, "Just outside Jiangling City, Aunt Liu took her children out of the city with a few of our neighbors...... When they encountered a wild wolf, everyone was terrified and ran away in a panic...... The wild wolf took advantage of Aunt Liu's inattention and took the child away......"
Aunt Liu seemed to be crazy, desperately chased after it, but finally did not catch up, and then returned to the city, everyone gathered together, took the wolf guy to dig out the wolf's den, only found the child's torn clothes and broken flesh and bones, everyone knows, this is Aunt Liu's child...... Eaten alive by wolf cubs. ”
Listening to what the old man said, everyone looked into the house, and saw that the child was still playing in the yard as usual, and the woman looked at him with great satisfaction, and looked at the child's laughter, and always felt a touch of strangeness.
Everyone wondered, if the child had really been bitten to death by a wolf, what was in the yard? Is there really a way to bring the dead back to life in this world?
The old man continued: "After that...... We thought that Aunt Liu would be very sad, and even washed her face with tears until she became more and more emaciated, but in fact it was not the case, she did not believe that her child was eaten by wild wolves, she told us that her child was still alive, playing outside the city, and the child would come back when he had had enough. ”
"Someone comforted her and told her to face the reality, but when she heard it, she was anxious and said that we were cursing her child, and over time, no one dared to say it." The old man said, looked at the woman sitting at the door, he sighed and said: "Alas, this is not, I don't know what Aunt Liu has been stimulated by in the past few days, and when I saw someone, I told people that her son was back, and pointed to a place where there was nothing and said that her son was here." ”
"At first, everyone didn't believe it, but then someone said that it might be her son's ghost back, which scared the neighbors enough, although they didn't understand Aunt Liu's doing, but not many people blamed her, Aunt Liu, she was originally a good person, but this kind of thing happened, and anyone would not be able to stand it."
After listening to the old man, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at where the child was, Chu Haoge pointed his finger and asked, "Uncle, do you see if the little boy there is Aunt Liu's child?" ”
The old man looked in the direction pointed by Chu Haoge for a while, looked at Chu Haoge very strangely, shrunk his neck, was a little scared, and said, "Young man, don't scare the old man and me, where is there a little boy there?" Saying that, the old man looked at Mo Feiming, as he said before, this Mo Feiming is a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and he will not lie to him.
Chu Haoge also looked at Mo Feiming, Mo Feiming was just about to say something, Jiuli Qiantaro on the side made a look at him, Mo Feiming thought about it and then said to the old man: "Uncle, I'm very sorry, my Chu brother loves to joke, and I apologize to you in the next generation of Chu brothers." ”
After that, Mo Feiming pulled Chu Haoge to the side, and the four of them said goodbye to the old man and whispered to the side.
Chu Haoge was very puzzled, and asked Mo Feiming, "Brother Mo, why can't you see that little boy?" ”
"I can see it." Mo Feiming glanced back at the little boy, and then whispered: "It's just that before the matter is clarified, it's better not to let others know." ”
"......" Chu Haoge understood the meaning, nodded, and asked very suspiciously: "According to what the old man said, this child should have died in the wolf's mouth, how could he appear here?" Could it be that it is really a ghost? ”
Mo Feiming shook his head and said, "As far as I know, this little boy is not a ghost...... He thought about it and said, "Nor is it human." ”
"Not a human, not a ghost? So what is it exactly? Chu Haoge was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Is it difficult or is it a god?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Jiuli Qiantaro on the side seemed to be inspired by something, and said, "Yes, it's God." ”
"God?" This time, not only Chu Haoge was surprised, but even Murong Xiaoyan and Mo Feiming were so shocked that their mouths couldn't close, this little boy is a god?
"Hmm......" Jiu Li Qianyu nodded, muttered for a long time, and said, "It's a god who has not become a god." ”
"For the gods who became gods?" Everyone repeated, still not knowing what it meant.
Jiuli Qiantaro said again: "To be precise, it should be the spirit. ”
"The customs are universal: the spirit, the god also." Jiu Li Qianyu said: "In ancient times, many gods came from spirit bodies. ”
Then, Jiuli Qiantaro and the three of them told some legends about ancient times, Jiuli Qiantaro said that in ancient times, there were gods as spirits, among which Li Jing's third son is an example.
Jiuli Qianyu said that Li Jing had three sons at that time, and the third son was the most exquisite in martial arts, but he caused countless disasters, so he was forced by the pressure of the Dragon King and killed himself in Chentang.
Later, Li Jing and his wife thought about it day and night, thought about it, spiritualized the body of the lotus root, and became a positive result at the end of the cultivation period, and sealed it on the god list.
Jiuli Qiantaro said to everyone: "People only say that it was his master who saved Nezha with the technique of initiating rejuvenation, but the truth is that the original he has died, and Nezha, who has become a god, was born in the 'spirit' that Li Jing and his wife missed. ”
"The spirit is born of the mind of man and disappears from the heart of man, and as far as I can see, this boy is not a man or a ghost, but a spirit." Jiu Li Qiantaro said: "And the spirit, ordinary people are invisible, and those who think can see it." ”
Chu Haoge pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and said: "I see, if this is the case, after Aunt Liu's child died, she thought deeply and felt that her son was still alive, so she thought about it and turned into a spirit in the shape of this child, and we found it and sent it back when we were playing outside the city." ”
"That's not right." As soon as Chu Haoge finished speaking, Murong answered, "Then we don't know this kid at all, why can we see him?" ”
