Chapter 246: The Strike Begins
"Brother Liu, since the hare has guided us here, we can also be regarded as having a relationship with this ancestor, as the saying goes, we will bury this ancestor in the ground, I think we will bury this ancestor" Originally, I wanted to say that the body was cremated, but when I thought about it, it was all dry grass here, and once it was ignited, it would be a big deal, so it was better to bury it
Lao Liu is also a kind-hearted person, and he didn't bother to go out to greet Liu Lianjiang when he said this, and the two of them went up to the kang to carry the body down, and I said to their father and son: "Brother Liu, you go outside first, dig a good pit, and let me go down for this ancestor."
Lao Liu's father and son agreed to go out, and dug up the ground with their sabers, and I wanted to open my eyes in the house to see if the soul of this body was still there, so I could ask who it was, when it was time, and if there was anyone else in the family, I would inform his family
But when I opened the eyes of heaven, I didn't find the existence of a soul, I wondered what was going on, after death, the general soul will follow the body, why this body is not there, I looked at the house, there is nothing peculiar, it is a very ordinary room, but why there is no soul, whether this person died by himself or was killed by someone, look at the furnishings in the house, there is no outsider to move, what is even more strange is that there is no pot stove in the house, is this person not eating, even if he becomes an immortal, there will be no pot stove, and the corpse does not rot, these are like mysteries, why I am in a room above this wilderness, why no one will find out, even this person has diedI don't know for a long time
In order to find out the truth, I gently lifted the quilt covering the body, only to see that the deceased below was wearing a gray 'colored' robe, the body was the same as the face, there was no trace of decay, there was no smell, and there was nothing special, the hands of the body were wrapped in front of the 'chest', but the lower body of the body was empty, and the two 'legs' were empty, and I didn't know why this person didn't have 'legs', and how would he live without two 'legs' here
I gently covered the old man with the quilt again, and walked out of the room, and when I went outside, Lao Liu's father and son dug a pit, and soon half of it was dug up, and I said to Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, you don't have to dig it very much, the body doesn't have two 'legs'."
"It's a little easier, and it's strange how you don't have a pair of 'legs'," Lao Liu stopped and asked me
"Yes, this body is too strange, no matter what, hurry up and let him be buried in peace, we have to wait for the old man Wang"
When their father and son dug the tomb 'hole' and came indoors, they were ready to move the body to the tomb 'hole', Lao Liu and his son went to the kang and lifted the body one by one, and when they lifted the body, I found that there was a package under the body of the old man, and when their father and son carried the body down, I picked up the package, which was wrapped in blue cloth, but I didn't know why it was placed under my body, thinking that the body was not rotten, if it was rotten, the package would also rot
I opened the package, only to see that there were two thin books inside, one of which was written "Eighty Mantras of Taoism", the other was written "Guiguzi Technique", and there was an envelope that said: Someone who is destined to open the envelope, the two sheets of paper full of words are all written in small letters, the pen is strong, and the handwriting is neat
The first page reads: When I saw this letter, I was destined to be a person, Lao Dao, I had no chance, when I was young, I was in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang, and practiced under Maoshan Hidden Dao, Changyun Daoren, ten years later, the master traveled the world for five years and did not return to the old Tao, so I thought about the teacher, so I went down the mountain to find the teacher, and after several years of unsuccessful search, I met Muhuazi in Sanqing Mountain, and followed Muhuazi into Beijing to practice with the 'servant' emperor
After 'befriending' with the eunuch Liu Yu in the palace, he joined the eunuch secret sect 'door' and 'yin' demon sect for the 'yin' demon sect to refine and return the yang pill for decades, Liu Yu was annoyed and ashamed and angrily beheaded my 'legs' and was imprisoned here, not letting me contact with the outside world, continuing to develop for him, the old man knew that Liu Yu would not let me go, I knew too much about the inside story of the 'Yin' demon sect, and he would not let me go, so I wrote out the Taoist techniques taught by my teacher and sent them to people who were destined
The Tao is divided into the right way and the evil way, the teacher said, whether the right way and the evil way are actually the same goal, the teacher preaches the law, because it is not allowed to those so-called right paths, so the teacher lives in seclusion on Tiantai Mountain, my teacher's way is derived from the right way, and it is more practical than the right way, and the practitioner needs the original cumbersome procedure, as long as the mantra is recited, the existing mana
Those who get my Tao Dharma are destined people, although I am not a teacher, but I also have the grace of teaching, and I am destined to practice diligently, and I will get rid of the 'Yin' Demon Sect to avenge my abolition, and the 'Yin' Demon Sect is composed of eunuchs, the main purpose is to make the castrated male roots reborn, this technique 'Yin' is extremely poisonous, and it needs pure male blood to refine, and since its establishment has been established for a hundred years, I don't know how many lives have been killed, and the poor Dao has also helped to abuse me, until it is too late to wake up, I hope that the destined people will annihilate these bandits and avenge me and the mutilated lives
"The young master is already fine, shouldn't we go" Just as I was reading the letter, Lao Liu's voice came from behind
I put away the unfinished letters, wrapped the two books together, carried them in my hands, and walked out of the room with Lao Liu, I looked at the sky, and it was indeed not early, and now the old man's body has been disposed of, and the body has been buried by their father and son
Here is five or six miles away from the woods, according to the time, the old man Wang, they should also arrive, we rode to the edge of the forest where we met them last time, and looked at the traces of someone walking, we got off the horse and led the horse into the woods, and sure enough, in that position last time, the old man Wang sat there with two people and watched me, beckoned and said, "I thought you hadn't come yet."
I 'handed over' the horse to Lao Liu, and came over to ask Mr. Wang for an honor: "Old man, we have been here a long time ago, seeing that you are not here, we are going to hunt."
"I don't know what's going on the way, there are a lot of spies, so I'll take the path, so it's late, you tell me about the situation, go back early, we'll do the rest."
"Old man, you should also pay attention to this matter, don't have any casualties, I will give you their information" After speaking, I took out the grain merchant information that Chen Jiu gave me and handed it to the old man
The old man looked at it and said, "This tomorrow, I will send someone to investigate, you said that it was good to deal with that family, and now there are eight."
"Old man, deal with the first one, I'm afraid their strength is too big, we can't eat it, so we will deal with the next two, as for your final decision to deal with that one, it depends on the situation when you go to reconnoiter tomorrow and come back, if there is any problem, you can find someone to inform me, the old man has one more matter, Xuanyun is okay now, is there "Since Xuanyun was injured last time, I haven't seen him, and I don't know how he is now, so I asked Old Man Wang."
"Xuanyun is already well, this time he also came with him, if there is anything, I will let him inform you, it's just that our carriage is not much, what if the grain can't be transported"
"Old man, I've already arranged this, tonight you go to the east 'gate', there is a courtyard where there are more than a hundred carriages parked, you go and grab it, be careful not to hurt the guards, as long as the carriage is okay, you should also pay attention to see if there is anyone following behind" Then I told the old man the address of the carriage that Chen Jiu had prepared
"Okay, I remember, you go back early, this is a place of right and wrong, it's not good for you to go back late"
I see that the matter has been done, so there is no need to stay any longer, and I said goodbye, the old man, the three of us rode back to the house, and when we got home, it was time to make dinner, Lao Liu took down a few hares, and said to Cai: "Sister-in-law Chen, this is the rabbit we hunted, you can clean it up and eat it at night," Lao Liu said this, also to make the eunuchs believe that I was going hunting
The next morning, the first day of the strike, I had breakfast, I took a few of them to the street, just like the agreement, the shops that had been opened a long time ago, now there are no open 'doors', only a few inns are still open because there are customers who can't close the 'doors'
After walking several streets, I saw a shop with an open 'door', which was a shop dealing in antiques, and I looked at the open 'door' and took a few of them into the shop, inside the store, a middle-aged man in his forties was looking at the shop, and saw us coming in, busy, and greeted: "Uncle, look at what you need, I have good things here."
"Shopkeeper, I see that the shops around me have not yet opened the 'door', you are diligent."
"Uncle is a small business of antique calligraphy and painting, a small business, close the 'door', I don't have anything to eat, I don't know, they ask anything, close the 'door', a few days ago, I went out to visit relatives, I just came back last night, I don't know what the situation is"
Just when the two of us were talking, a few big men came in and didn't say anything, and the wooden stick in their hands smashed the antiques on the shelves, and the shopkeeper was also scared, and when he came to his senses, he ran to the leader and begged: "Brother Guan, what are you doing, brother, my protection money has been 'paid', you let the brothers stop."
The surnamed Guan kicked the shopkeeper to the ground, and said angrily: "I will inform you in a few days that you are not allowed to open, you see who opens the 'door' on the street, and your old grandson will not give me face and continue to smash me."
"Brother Guan, I don't know, I haven't been at home these days, I'm cheap, I'm looking at the store inside, I haven't told me, I want to know, why don't I listen to your Brother Guan's orders"
"It's too late, I don't care what your reason is, brothers continue," the shopkeeper begged the shopkeeper to continue smashing the antiques on the shelves
