Chapter 40: Tiger Poison Doesn't Eat Children
Mu Feng rarely came to the ancestral house, not only because Mu Jianguo didn't go often, but even when his grandmother was alive, he rarely let him come here.
Mufeng's grandfather passed away before Mufeng was born, anyway, since Mufeng's memory, grandma and their family are living in the house built later, except for a few times a year to worship the ancestors rarely set foot in the ancestral house, even when the sacrifice adults will use children can not participate in the Mufeng to step into it. If you really want to step into this place, it is also from the grandmother's death, Mu Feng has come to the main hall of the ancestral house several times a year, which is a special place for tablets.
When he was a child, Mu Feng was not a very curious boy, his personality was slightly withdrawn, he rarely climbed trees and fished with his friends, and he was not very like a child in the mountains, running around and playing until the sun went down before going home. It seems that Mu Feng has a string in his head, don't wander around, otherwise something bad will happen.
Mu Feng held the kerosene lamp in his hand in one hand and opened the door of the ancestral house with the other, because he rarely set foot here, there was no circuit installed here. The illumination range of kerosene lamps is not wide, and there are black holes in the main hall, and it is impossible to see clearly. Mu Feng stepped into the darkness with the lunch box, and when he put the kerosene lamp on the incense table, he vaguely saw the tablets behind him, and the number of tablets was not small.
It is said that the Mu family was a big family before the Anti-Japanese War, but many people died in the war, no one told Mu Feng about the heroic history of the Anti-Japanese War on the ancestors, no matter how much glory there was in the past, it would not represent the beauty of the future, so why say so much.
Mu Feng put the candles, incense, meals, etc. he brought one by one, these things Mu Jianguo was very attentive, and he had prepared them in advance, and all he had to do was to follow the steps.
Mu Feng lit the incense candle, and after the candle was lit with three incense sticks, he did not say anything to expect the blessing of his ancestors, but said with a smile, "You say, it is my sorrow to have Mu Jianguo's father, or should you scold your descendants?" ”
Before Mu Feng's words fell, the candle flame on the incense table was blown out by a gust of wind from behind. The fragrance on Mu Feng's hand suddenly emitted a very strange fragrance, and its diameter drilled towards Mu Feng's nostrils.
"Moo-" There was a sudden cow cry outside the house, and the door creaked in the wind, and the rustling of paper talismans could be heard, and the four corners of the main hall were pasted with charms with unknown spells. At this time, the cinnabar on the yellow paper twisted at a strange angle, as if it was alive, as if it was going to help the yin wind force into Mu Feng's body.
Mu Feng couldn't sit still, he threw away the fragrance in his hand, and didn't give the strange fragrance a chance to get into his nostrils at all, if the movement of the human hand is faster than the speed of air flow, people who have not seen it don't believe it, and at this time, Mu Feng's right hand made a barrier out of thin air to block the oncoming incense wind.
He staggered and drew four images with his bare hands towards the four corners of the main hall, bursting out with a golden light, which was like a salvo of arrows off the string to the rune paper on the four corners, and the golden light collided with the twisted cinnabar, swallowing the cinnabar at once, and eating the distorted bright red clean.
The cow's bark sounded outside the door again, this time it was even more ferocious, "Moo-moo-", the voice was very urgent, and it kept screaming, and Mu Feng felt that the cow would break into the door in the next second.
But Mu sealed this possibility, he stepped on the incense on the ground, and then drew a star map out of thin air, once he used this map to purify the undead of the dead soldiers, and now as soon as this picture came out, there was no longer the strange incense in the main hall, leaving only the cold wind, blowing away the handful of incense ashes on the ground.
As the ash was blown away, the cow cry at the outer gate was reluctantly interrupted. As soon as it was over.
Mu Feng re-lit the kerosene lamp, he didn't leave in a hurry, but took a closer look around, not only the rune paper was arranged in the corner, but even there were a few rune papers on the beam, and even a few inconspicuous places on the ground had pre-drawn formation diagrams, but they were damaged in the impact just now.
It seems that Mu Jianguo carefully prepared this qiē for him, and specially asked him to bring a kerosene lamp that had no lighting function at night at all, just to let him step into this arranged cage.
It's a pity that Mu Jianguo broke his head and couldn't imagine that Mu Feng was not the good son who was slaughtered by others. Mu Feng put away the yellow paper scattered in the corner, and even drew these broken formation diagrams in his notebook. There are many schools of magic, and most people today have heard of Buddhism and Taoism, which can be subdivided, such as Tantra and Zen, and Taoism has many branches.
With Mu Feng's understanding of Mu Jianguo, today's play is by no means his own ability, but someone is pointing behind his back, so he doesn't know which family this person is.
Mu Feng can only roughly judge that this person is from the Dao Gate, and this kind of formation is clearly used to harm people, and it does not work on Mu Feng because he has the dual preparation of heart and strength, but if it is put on an ordinary person, he must have been tricked now. No matter what kind of disease Mu Jianguo was born of, using this method to resolve it, the person who taught him the method is also a person with improper mental skills.
Mu Jianguo at the other end of the village was very nervous, the Taoist priest said that as long as he arranged it like this and let Mu Feng light the incense, there would be no need to worry about the rest of the matter, and the pain on his body would be transferred to Mu Feng immediately, and at the same time, the bull demon would not come to them for trouble, but would focus on Mu Feng with all his might.
Mu Jianguo watched the clock pass by minute by second, and his stepmother was waiting on the side and was also anxious, "It's been two hours, and the Taoist priest didn't say that it could be done in ten minutes." It's only about 20 minutes to walk from here, plus more than half an hour at most, why hasn't there been any movement? ”
"Did you really see him come in?" Mu Jianguo also didn't understand that if Mu Feng had already been a substitute for the dead ghost, then the yin qi in his body should be dispersed, why there was no trend of getting better at all.
The stepmother personally sent Mu Feng to the ancestral house, and she excused herself that it was inconvenient for Mu Feng to hold a kerosene lamp in one hand and a lunch box and incense candles in the other. "Of course I saw him walk in and see him close the door. Do you think it's because the Taoist priest is not capable enough? ”
"Impossible, Zhiqiang's illness was cured by him, and if he can transfer Zhiqiang's illness to me, it doesn't make sense that what I have on me can't be transferred to Mu Feng, as long as he is a member of the Mu family, he can't escape."
Mu Jianguo didn't believe that the Taoist priest couldn't do this at all, because the first time had already succeeded, how could he fail the second time.
"Don't forget that the Taoist priest saved Zhiqiang's life half a month ago, his words will not be wrong, maybe now it is just a little slower."
The stepmother also remembered the danger half a month ago, and they didn't know how Mu Zhiqiang suddenly got a menacing illness and fell unconscious all of a sudden. After being sent to the hospital, the result of the examination was unexplained physical failure, and Mu Zhiqiang could not live for a few days.
It's useless for the stepmother to make trouble, and the doctor with such a strange illness is also unheard of, and later the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and they meet a Taoist priest. Only then did I know that Mu Zhiqiang had caused something dirty, and this thing Taoist priest couldn't get rid of, but if someone was willing to die instead of Mu Zhiqiang, he could still transfer this Gu Yin Qi to the other party.
This person can only be Mu Zhiqiang's blood relative, and he can't make five suits, and he has to be a man.
At that time, there was only one day left, how could he have spare time to find such a substitute for the dead, Mu Jianguo really loved Mu Zhi, the child, and he didn't think much about it and went on his own.
That night, as soon as the Taoist priest did this, Mu Zhiqiang's illness was cured, and Mu Jianguo collapsed. Mu Jianguo didn't hesitate too much when he wanted to die for Mu Zhiqiang, but when the yin qi really reached him, he realized the fear of dying. Naturally, he didn't want to die, so he asked the priest if he could transfer his illness to another person.
You can do it once or twice, but you can't do it a third time. That is to say, Mu Zhiqiang's illness, he could choose to find relatives of the Mu family or his stepmother's family to transfer, but because of the urgency of time, he could only go to Mu Jianguo himself, and now it is Mu Jianguo's turn to find a replacement for the dead ghost, and he can only be among the relatives of the Mu family.
However, this took two chances, once Mu Feng was used as a substitute for the ghost, he couldn't make a third transfer, and he really had to wait for death.
Mu Jianguo agreed without hesitation, he wanted to live, it was one thing to die for Mu Zhiqiang, and it was another thing to let Mu Feng die.
"I'm just a little scared." The stepmother suddenly had a bad guess, "What do you say Mu Feng should do if that kid is not from the Mu family?" How much do you know about the events of those days? ”
Mu Jianguo panicked after hearing this, he almost couldn't hold this breath and fell on the bed, "Impossible!" Mu Feng is a member of the Mu family, do you think my mother is stupid, if that woman is not pregnant with the child of the Mu family, she will not be allowed to enter the door at all. ”
"Bump!" At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Mu Jianguo and his stepmother stared at the intact wooden seal like ghosts.
"Put Zhiqiang down!" The stepmother widened her eyes, only to see that Mu Zhiqiang's little fat man was tied up strongly, and he was dragged by Mu Feng in his hand, Mu Zhiqiang's mouth was blocked and he could only make a whining sound, and when he saw his parents' tears, he was even more uproaring.
Mu Feng used Mu Zhiqiang to threaten the two of them and let them say everything they had to say.
He turned the knife in his left hand, the blade was very cold, and he could actually feel a murderous aura. This is a knife that has killed people, and it is now only a finger's distance from Mu Zhiqiang's neck. As soon as the stepmother wanted to rush up, she saw that the knife was close to Mu Zhiqiang's neck, and she didn't dare to move at all.
"You brute, what are you doing! It's your brother! Mu Jianguo scolded on the bed, but his body was extremely weak and he couldn't get out of bed at all, so he spit out a mouthful of blood after scolding.
As soon as Mu Jianguo's words were finished, he saw Mu Feng cut a bloody streak on Mu Zhiqiang's face, which frightened the two of them. Mu Feng is real, Mu Jianguo found that Mu Feng's eyes were cold, which completely regarded them as enemies.
"If you say one more piece of nonsense, I don't mind adding some red to this little fat man." Mu Feng's tone was cold, no matter who heard with his own ears outside that his father could save a son without hesitation, but let another son die without thinking, he couldn't possibly not be resentful!
"Didn't you just talk very well, go on and talk about what happened back then. To make it clear, I'll let this little fat man go! Mu Feng forced himself to keep the last of his senses, he had just been designed to die by the man he called his father. It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but when it is placed on his body, it is the second half of the sentence, but people are easy to eat!
"Mu Jianguo, I want to hear from you personally, am I your son?!"
"Of course not!" The stepmother couldn't help but call out first, at this time she was full of Mu Zhiqiang, and she didn't ask why Mu Feng didn't have anything at all. Seeing that Mu Feng is out of the way like this, Mu Feng can be let out, she can't! What if my son is injured? "Jianguo, say it quickly! Mu Feng is your brother's son, what the hell is going on, say it quickly, do you want to see Zhiqiang die? ”
Mu Feng listened to his stepmother's words, and he was already prepared in his heart, he was really not Mu Jianguo's son, but fortunately he was not Mu Jianguo's son.
"You are my brother's son, and he died nineteen years ago." Mu Jianguo finally told this secret that had been buried for a long time, and there were some things in it that his stepmother didn't know.
"Speaking of which, Mu Hanyan has been dead for nineteen years, but he hasn't let me go for a moment!" Mu Jianguo was very reluctant to mention this brother, "He is more than ten years older than me, and even his name is completely different from mine, do you understand?" Hanyan, Jianguo, this is not a person all the way at all! ”
Mu Feng remembered that he had seen Mu Hanyan's name in those tablets just now, and he didn't expect this to be his father at all. Indeed, Jianguo, which is very popular in terms of naming style, is completely different from Hanyan. Then Mu Feng knew why, because Mu Hanyan and Mu Jianguo were half-brothers.
Old man Mu and the original partner Zhang Zhi were ordered by their parents and matchmaker to get married, at that time it was about 1920, there was no love between the two, and after getting married, Grandpa Mu left home to participate in the revolution because of the current situation. It was not until 1933, more than ten years after marriage, that Mu Hanyan was born.
After Mu Hanyan was born, Zhang Zhi's health was not very good, Mu Hanyan grew up with his mother, and he only met his father a few times when he was away all the year round. During the offensive phase, he saw his father even less.
However, Mu Hanyan is very knowledgeable, and he understands the helplessness of sacrificing his small family for the sake of the country, but at this time, Zhang Zhi's body can no longer endure, and he did not wait for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and Zhang Zhi passed away.
A year after Zhang Zhi's death, Grandpa Mu took the later Grandma Mu, and the two were comrades-in-arms in the same team, and they had Mu Jianguo in 1945.
At this time, the Anti-Japanese War also ended, and the Mu family also lived together. Mu Hanyan was already twelve years old at this time, and he was raised by Zhang Zhi, a scholarly family, and did not have much in common with his father, who had been fighting for many years.
However, Mu Hanyan has a good personality, he is filial to his son, and takes care of his younger brother for his brother, although the family is a little estranged, but they have always gotten along well.
This is 20 years, Mu Hanyan later worked outside and rarely came home, he got married, and in 1964 his wife became pregnant, but it was also this year that Mr. Mu was seriously ill. Mu Hanyan could only take his wife home to see Grandpa Mu for the last time, but who would have thought that there was a landslide that summer, and it was Mu Jianguo who came to pick up Mu Hanyan's family.
Old Man Mu was directly out of breath when he heard the news, and Mu Feng's mother was even more heartbroken, her child had no father before she was born. I don't know if she was too sad, she actually made a request, she hoped that Mu Feng could be raised under Mu Jianguo's name after he was born, and she didn't tell him about it until Mu Feng grew up.
There are some strange requests like this, but Grandma Mu agreed, her son's life was saved by his brother, and taking care of her nephew is also something that should be done. And Grandma Mu also knew that Mu Feng's mother was greatly injured by this incident, and she was afraid that her life would not be long, and sure enough, Mu Feng passed away three years after she was born.
Grandma Mu knows that raising him as a son is not the same as raising him as a nephew, although Mu Jianguo has an extra son without getting married at all, which seems to have added an extra burden to him, but how can he not repay the grace of saving his life.
In this way, Grandma Mu was in charge, and outsiders told that Mu Feng's mother was Mu Jianguo's wife, but fortunately, she didn't show her nostalgia at that time, and hastily made a banquet and finalized the matter.
"I don't want Mu Hanyan to save me at all!" Mu Jianguo shouted angrily, "When he was alive, everyone else knew that I had a brother who could never be compared, and finally he left here to live somewhere else, and everyone else forgot that there was such a person, so I was relieved." But he saved me with one life, so that I will always remember his kindness, and there is one more you!
I don't want to raise you, but my mother said that it was a life-saving grace, and I wanted to treat you as my own son. But the older you get, the more hateful you become like your father, you can learn anything, and you will never be like an ordinary person! Pressed Zhiqiang down, why! Why do you say this? ”
