Chapter 228: The Test of Life and Death

Compared with the ancestral hall of Jiangfu being thundered by the sky, it caused a sensation among ordinary people.

In the Fucheng Gate, the lords, officials, and squires learned more about last night.

They all looked at the Five Organs Taoist Temple with great amazement.

When the curfew ended during the day, they immediately sent their eyes and ears to find out any information about the Five Organs Taoist Temple.

As a result, the information presented on their desks was written with an unknown nameless Taoist temple.

Talent withered.

Flat broke.

Even the gentleman on the beam didn't bother to patronize, and he really couldn't get out of the oil and water.

There are not many incense believers, only sporadic incense from neighbors.

In the past, these five visceral Taoist temples have always been small Taoist temples that few people care about, and small Taoist temples like this are too many to count in the city, and no one will pay attention to them.

But.

This Five Visceral Taoist Temple is like a sudden rise overnight, usually inconspicuous, when it comes to a critical juncture, the hidden strength that emerges behind it makes the gate lords of the city of Fucheng shake.

How did this five-visceral Taoist temple do it, so that He, Xue, and Jia could abandon their previous suspicions and share the same hatred for the enemy.

Even the White Dragon Temple is deeply involved.

According to the information sent by the spies, the changes in the Taoist temple of the five viscera seem to come from the Taoist temple, and the He family took the initiative to expand and renovate the Taoist temple......

Time.

There is an undercurrent surging in the city.

There are many pairs of eyes that have quietly focused on the Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

The outside world is full of treachery.

It does not affect the happy world of three people and one sheep in the Taoist temple.

Yesterday, I ran around for a day, and I was in a hurry to go to the ancestral tomb of the Jia family, and I was in a hurry to return to Fucheng, and I was in prison, and I tossed Jin An and the old Taoist priest, and the two of them slept for a day, and then they woke up energetic.

Today is a rare sunny day.

Just like Jin An and the old Taoist priest who slept until they woke up naturally, their mood was indescribably comfortable.

After a day of fermentation, the news spread ten, ten spread hundreds... The ancestral hall of the Jiang family was struck and collapsed by lightning is well known to everyone in the whole city.

Even the masons in the Taoist temple were talking about it.

The old Taoist priest who had just woken up heard that the ancestral hall of the Jiang family had collapsed, and he was very happy with excitement, but he didn't understand what those masons were.

"Little brother, do you say this is called retribution?" said to the old Taoist priest at the end.

After a month of expansion, the temple is now almost complete.

All that remains is the Hall of Merit, which was painted and later rebuilt.

It has been able to glimpse the true face of the majestic and solemn Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple of the five internal organs after the expansion now has four large halls, namely the Sanqing Palace, the Liuding Liujia Martial God Temple, the Five Thunder Emperor Palace, and the Hall of Merit that has been built to half.

"Master... When the expansion of the Five Organs Taoist Temple is completed, I will be able to pick up your old man back soon. ”

Jin An looked at the five visceral Taoist temples that were getting better and better, and he muttered a word to the Hall of Merit.

It's just that the atmosphere that was originally very appropriate was broken by the thunderous stomach hunger sound around him, pulling Jin An back to reality.

Gollum –

Jin An turned his head to look at the old Taoist priest beside him.

The old Taoist priest stayed with Jin An for a long time, and became acquainted, but his cheeks became thicker: "Little brother, the incense of the Five Organs Taoist Temple is vigorous, and it will definitely be carried forward in your hands, but while carrying forward the Five Organs Taoist Temple, little brother, look at our Five Organs Temple... Do you want to replenish the surplus food as well?"

"Lao Dao, I only ate a few sweet cakes in a hurry yesterday in the carriage of the Jia family, and now you are using a knife to Lao Dao, and I can't scrape a drop of oil and water. ”

The old Taoist priest held his hungry stomach against his back and said with a bitter face.

Gollum –

Jin An's stomach also protested dissatisfied.

So, Jin An brought the old Taoist priest and the sharpening sword, and prepared that tonight's dinner would not be made in the Taoist temple, and went directly to the restaurant.

It's just that when the three of them just walked out of the Taoist temple, Jin An noticed that something was wrong, and secretly had many more pairs of eyes staring at them.

Those dark whistles are just staring, and there is no malice.

Jin An glanced at the direction of the dark whistle with a frown at the corner of his eyebrows, and the wide sleeves of his robe swept on the ground, sweeping up a small pebble on the side of the road.

Bang!bang......

Jin An shot out more than a dozen stones, all of which hit the open space next to the outpost's hideout.

This is just a warning.

Really.

That kind of spied eyes are all gone.

"Jin'an Xiaodaochang, Chen Daochang, you finally woke up, I just have something to give you here, and the Jia family asked me to hand it over on my behalf. ”

Uncle Lin, who happened to be sitting at the counter of the coffin shop folding paper money, saw the three of Jin An, took out a bag and handed it to Jin An.

"The people of the Jia family originally wanted to hand this thing over to you in person, but Jin'an Xiaodao and Chen Daochang have been sleeping, and the Jia family has been waiting for many follow-up things to be dealt with after last night's accident, so I have been waiting for a long time and have not waited for anyone, and the Jia family asked me to keep this burden on my behalf, so that I can hand it over to you when I see you. ”

There are three layers of baggage, and three layers of the outer layer are stacked.

Cover it tightly.

When the layers of baggage are unpacked, there are two things inside, a small gold box.

Jin An took the gold box in surprise, wondering what the Jia family wanted to give him, and he actually needed to use the gold box to control China.

But when Jin An took the gold box, he felt that the amount was wrong, the weight of this gold box was too light, and it should have just been pasted with a layer of gold foil.

Jin An opened the lid of the gold box in front of Uncle Lin, and he was stunned.

Even the old Taoist priest was stunned.

"Snake scales, snake meat?" exclaimed the old Taoist priest in surprise.

"Tsk, the color of this snake scale is moist and shiny, and it has not lost its luster, and it is estimated that it is still a snake scale that has just fallen off recently. ”

What was in the gold box was a small piece of flesh with a snake scale growing on it.

"Huh?"

"How can this snake meat have human skin, this skin doesn't look like a man's roughness at all, this is a woman's human skin?"

Good fellow! The old Taoist priest gasped.

But the flesh and blood were not the flesh and blood of a living person, but a piece of flesh on a corpse that was nourished by yin qi and had evil energy.

On the fragment of human flesh grows the most conspicuous snake scale, which can shine in the sun.

No wonder the Jia family is so solemn and takes the gold box to seal this piece of human flesh, the scene in front of them is enough for ordinary people.

What kind of people grow snake scales?

"Snake Girl?"

"Dead man turned into a snake?"

Jin An and the old Taoist priest carefully studied the pieces of human flesh in the gold box.

Uncle Lin raised his eyes and glanced at the golden box, perhaps because he was used to seeing too many dead people in the coffin shop, Uncle Lin was calm: "By the way, there is one more thing, Master Jia passed away, and he breathed at the last moment before dawn, even with his great wealth and noble life, he did not bear this catastrophe in the end." ”

Uncle Lin's words stunned both Jin An and the old Taoist.

"Old Dao, before I left last night, I specially removed the corpse poison of Old Man Jia, and it stands to reason that he should not have died of corpse poison......

The old Taoist priest was silent halfway through his words.

Ay.

Life.

Everything is fate.

Uncle Lin also shook his head and sighed: "This is how people don't fight with the sky." ”

"From the moment Master Jia carried his body ashore, he was already contaminated with cause and effect, and he was destined to have a catastrophe, which was to exchange one life for another. ”

Therefore, there is order in the underworld, there is order in the underworld, and there is order in the yang world, and the yin soul lingers in the yang, and lives under the same roof with relatives, not thinking about relatives but harming people, because yin and yang are different, yin energy will suppress the yang energy on the living person, and if the yang energy is weak, the body is weak and sick, and it is easy to have accidents. In the same way, if a living person forcibly retains the dead, the yin and yang will be reversed, the five elements will be chaotic, and the yang world will no longer be the yang world. ”

"At the beginning, I dissuaded Master Jia from going into the water to carry the corpse, not only to prevent him from aiding in the abuse, but also to save his life, but he didn't listen, and still went into the water to carry the corpse. ”

There is an ancient proverb that says, "The king of Hades wants you to die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch."

In the hands of the judge beside the king of Hades, there is a book of life and death, which not only records a person's yang life, but also records a person's life merits.

When the yin virtue is damaged and the merit cannot be compensated, the judge's pen in the judge's hand crosses your name from the book of life and death, that is, the moment you die.

That's why people often say that if you don't do anything virtuous, you will lose your life.

Is Master Jia at fault?

From the perspective of a father and a daughter, he just did what a father should do, he missed his daughter, and shouldered the responsibility that a father should have.

So Master Jia must be right?

From the perspective of the general public, he was very wrong, because of a person's selfish thoughts, carrying the corpse ashore, disrupting the order of the yang world, causing the tragic death of innocent people, what should the wives and daughters, families, and parents of those innocent people do?

Master Jia has passed away, the deceased rest in peace, Jin An, the old Taoist, and Uncle Lin no longer judge too much whether what Master Jia did was right or wrong.

Because as long as it's people.

There will be a selfish side of human nature.

If you are not in your place, you don't know what you will receive.

After picking up his troubles, Jin An looked back at the flesh and snake scales in the gold box: "Uncle Lin, the Jia family just sent things over?

Uncle Lin continued to fold the paper money in his hand to burn the dead, and recalled: "At that time, the original words left by the Jia family were that the captain led the soldiers to guard the Jia Mansion overnight to no avail, and when the Jia family began to clean up the ruins of the mansion, they found the things in the baggage near the explosion in the attic where Jia Zhidie lived, and they didn't know what to do with it, so I must hand over the things in the baggage to the Five Organs Taoist Temple." ”

Didn't you wait for Jia Zhidie to appear?

This result was not surprising to Jin An at all.

General Du Wei personally led the troops to guard Jiafu, and there were so many soldiers who surrounded Jiafu into iron buckets, the soldiers were strong in blood, masculine and bloody, adhering to the luck of the country, the number of people was large, ordinary and yin, and the dead body had already been frightened away.

Found near Jia Zhidie's attic?

Jin An thought of the core ruins of the explosion last night, wasn't it the small courtyard where Jia Zhidie lived, which was caused by the old man in the yin and yang robe when he exorcised Jia Zhidie.

Jin An couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, and frowned: "Could this be Jia Zhidie's flesh and blood?"

The old Taoist priest was surprised and said, "Could it really be that I was right, the corpse of Miss Jia Zhidie really turned into a snake after her death?"

Jin An thought about that picture, and then corrected: "It should be a dragon, right?"

"Jia Zhidie drowned in the Yinyi River, and then was married to the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King to be the water goddess Niangniang, she wanted to turn into a dragon if she wanted to be a corpse. ”

When he said this, Jin An thought of the snake scale paw that the wolf from behind him put on his shoulder when he was walking in the yin......

......

......

Following.

Today is another rare sunny day.

A rumor quietly spread among the people, saying that this was the success of sacrificing the water god Niangniang to please the Dragon King of Yinyi River, and the Dragon King stopped the rain and let the sun reappear in the world.

Leaving the sword sharpening to watch the house, all day today, Jin An and the old Taoist priest visited He, Xue, and Jia one by one, and personally came to the door to thank them.

"Little brother, do you feel that the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day?"

"It used to rain every day, but now it's the sun overhead, I take two steps and I am panting, I am sweating after three steps, and I don't recognize the six relatives when I take four steps, because the old way feels that I am going to be roasted, and the six relatives will definitely not recognize the old way I came. ”

Under the escort of the eldest lady, Jin An and the old Taoist priest had just come out of Hefu, and the old Taoist priest stretched out his hand to scratch the Taoist robe on his back.

The back of the robe was wet with sweat, and the slimy sweat was on the body, not to mention how guilty he was.

"I miss the chilled watermelon I just ate in Hefu, it's so cold, it's really happy. ”

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest like a foodie speechlessly: "Old Tao, you are not afraid of eating too much, always squatting in the pit in the middle of the night." ”

To be honest, it was a bit too hot.

Fortunately, the dirty Qi in the Five Organs Immortal Temple in Jin'an is running on its own all the time, which makes his heart calm and naturally cool, and he is not so uncomfortable.

In fact, the old Taoist priest also tried to talk about it, and their footsteps did not change, and they went straight to the last Jia's house.

Today's Jia family, the ruins are still there, and these ruins were not cleaned up so quickly.

And on the ruins of the Jia family, there is a heavy haze.

The death of Master Jia hit the Jia family very hard.

From yesterday to today, the Jia family has been wearing linen clothes, including those subordinates and maids, who also have to wear linen and filial piety. White silk and white lanterns were hung in the house, and the white lanterns were written "Lay", and the atmosphere was heavy.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest paid special attention to the visit of the Jia family and went out to greet the two in person.

"Supreme Taiyi Du Er Tianzun. ”

Jin An and the old Taoist priest came to the mourning hall and each put a stick of incense on Master Jia.

With the permission of the Jia family, the old Taoist priest checked the corpse of Master Jia, and the corpse poison had been pulled out, and there was no possibility of corpse transformation.

Because of the kindness of the Jia family, one yard to one yard, they took action to remove the corpse, the corpse was not removed, and was also imprisoned, the Jia family spared no effort to help them find Fu Yin to intercede, rescue them from prison, the kindness of the Jia family, Jin An and the old Taoist priest can not hide no matter what, to be a person to know the kindness of the retribution, so, the old Taoist and Jin An took the initiative to stay in the mourning hall for Master Jia tonight, chanting the scriptures over Master Jia.

The two of them read "Taishang Cave Xuanling Bao Tianzun Said to Save Suffering and Pull Out Sins".

"At that time, save the suffering Tianzun, fill the ten realms, often use the power of the gods, save all sentient beings, get away from the lost, sentient beings are unconscious, such as blind to see the sun and the moon, I am too middleless, pull out the boundless ......"

Unconsciously.

It was already dark outside, and the Jia family hung up ash lanterns.

In the dark, as if sensing something, Jin An, who was wearing a five-color Taoist robe and sitting cross-legged on the futon and chanting the scriptures, opened his eyes.

In the body of Master Jia in the coffin, a wisp of faint light smoke floated, and it was vaguely visible that it was the appearance of Master Jia before his death.

At this time, Master Jia was serene and quiet, and this wisp of light smoke floated in place, and he seemed to look around Jiafu and his family with some nostalgia, and then bowed to the void in the direction of Jin An and the old Taoist.

Finally dissipated.

"Good. ”

Jin An spit out a word lightly, and then continued to close his eyes and chant the scriptures.

Even after doing a night of rituals, Jin An was quite relaxed, and the old Taoist priest was still in good spirits except for his eyes being a little tired.

According to the old Taoist priest's original words, this is much easier than his previous practice of doing the Dharma for seven days in a row, and he can only find an opportunity to take a temporary nap in the middle of the seven-day Dharma service, and he can't sleep peacefully for a day.

After guarding the mourning hall all night, the next morning, Jin An and the old Taoist priest washed their faces and refreshed themselves under the polite and polite leadership of the Jia family, and sat at a table with the brothers of the Jia family for breakfast.

Large families are very polite.

Ladies are not allowed to sit at the main table to eat.

Men must move chopsticks, and women can move chopsticks.

To be honest, Jin An is very unaccustomed to these, and always feels that the eating of large families is too depressing, too dull, no one speaks in the whole process, and there are too many rules and regulations that restrict people's nature.

He still prefers to sit on the street and be busy, drink tofu brain, eat fritters recklessly, freely, and a group of people talk and laugh, so that there is the smell of fireworks in the world.

It's an old Taoist priest, thick-skinned, sucking and gobbling lean porridge, with big nerves.

When the breakfast was finished, the Jia family asked Jin An if the food was not to taste, they saw that Jin An didn't eat much, Jin An vaguely passed, and diverted the topic: "Jia Zhidie has been ashore for several days, and her body has not been found until now, for the safety of everyone in Jia Mansion, I want to ask a few people to be honest with us, how did Jia Zhidie die before her death?"

"Why are you so angry after you die, you refuse to let go of the Jia family, and you have always stayed in the Jia family?"

When the brothers of the Jia family heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

The brothers looked at each other, and finally made up their minds.

"Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen are the life-saving benefactors of our Jia family, if there are no two Dao Chiefs to help, I am afraid that our father and mother are still enduring the suffering of villains. If there were no Daochang Jin'an and Daochang Chen, there would be no Jia family today, and it is true that the father-daughter relationship between my eldest brother and Jia Zhidie is indeed not good. ”

"On the day Jia Zhidie drowned, I had a big quarrel with my eldest brother, hey, Jia Zhidie was pregnant with another man and child before she got married, she has been stupid and infatuated and waiting, but she refused to say who the child's father was, and asked her to beat the child and stubbornly refused. Seeing that the belly is getting bigger day by day, this matter will be impossible to hide sooner or later, so there are more and more quarrels between the father and daughter. ”

"But our brothers know very well that my eldest brother has never broken the father-daughter relationship with Jia Zhidie, and has never stopped blaming himself and remorseing Jia Zhidie's drowning. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that even if Mr. Lin refuses to carry the corpse, my eldest brother is willing to carry the corpse himself, and no parent can bear to see his children die without turning a blind eye, and they can't even bury themselves when they die. ”

"We said so much, not to deliberately excuse our eldest brother, but just to explain to Daochang Jin'an and Daochang Chen, there is no overnight feud between father and daughter, and on the night when my eldest brother carried back his niece Jia Zhidie, Jiafu held a wedding banquet and mourned, another strange thing happened......"

When Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked out of Jiafu, the sun was already high and bright.

Today is the third day in a row that it will be sunny.

It was also the third day after the Jiafu Rebellion.

"It's not yet time, the sun is already so big, how do I think this God is a little evil, and it's getting hotter and hotter every day. ”

Before Lao Dao took two steps out of Jiafu, he was already sweating from the scorching sun.

"Little brother, do you think the Jia family said that there was a subordinate in Jiafu in the middle of the night who saw a white shadow lying on the windowsill looking for a lost child, could the white shadow be the posthumous Jia Zhidie girl we are looking for?"

"Little Drought Fish's mother is Jia Zhidie of the Jia family?"

"Jia Zhidie came ashore this time to find her son Xiao Hanlu? Because that group of antique dealers wanted to move east and throw the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes to the Jia family, Xiao Hanlu and the Zhang family once appeared in the Jia family, so Jia Zhidie will always pester the Jia family?"

"It's a good move for the vicious calamity to move eastward, and we have been wondering if there is really something wrong with the Jia family before. Speaking of which, we still have to thank Master Jia, if he hadn't carried Jia Zhidie's body ashore, we would have always doubted the Jia family, and it would be impossible to get the trust and support of the Jia family like now. ”

The more the old Taoist priest spoke, the more dumbfounded he became.

Jin An stood in the shade of the tree, looked up at the sun hanging high through the shade, and said an inexplicable sentence: "Yes, this god is getting more and more evil." ”

Dragon Fetus!

Uncle Lin, have you seen it a long time ago?

Because the dragon fetus in Jia Zhidie's belly has long been stolen, so I can't see the dragon qi all the time?

The old Taoist priest sighed and said: "Hey, in this way, this Jia Zhidie girl is also a hard-working person in two lives, the father and daughter broke up because of the son in the womb before her death, and after her death, the father and daughter were killed because of the son in the womb." It's a hard job. ”

"Those antique dealers are really animals, inhuman!"

The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An and continued: "Little brother, what do you want to do with those antique dealers who have done so many things? If the mother of the little drought is the mother of the water god, then the father of the little drought fish should be regarded as the dragon king, right?

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he couldn't help but scold the antique dealers.

Anyway, since I met these people, none of these people were engaged in personnel, and everything they did was completely dehumanized.

It is no longer possible to judge people by their morality.

Facing the old Taoist priest's angry scolding, Jin An finally retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky, he thought and said: "Maybe their plan is to rob the tomb and dig out the corpse of the son and mother, and then borrow the stomach of the nobleman to cultivate the little drought, and cultivate the little dartle into a dragon, and finally let the dragon break the river and eat the dragon king?"

"Or is it to borrow the belly of a noble person to cultivate a little drought, and cultivate the little dartle to have the potential to be a dragon, and finally let the little dartle break the river and eat the dragon king and become a dragon?"

After listening to this, the old Taoist priest pondered, smashed his mouth and said: "Alas, no, why do I listen to the same meaning, the dragon king must die?"

Jin An didn't answer the old Taoist's words, because what he thought at this time was that this unusually hot weather was that Fu Yin began to use the ability of the little drought to prepare to go down to the Yin Yi River to pacify the Dragon King case?

Then he'll have to prepare.
