Chapter VI: Mass Graves
Zhang Zhenren saw that my mouth was wide open, so he laughed: "Actually, these three precepts are not as terrible as you think. There is no lewdness, what is said is not to be obscene, of course it is okay to marry a wife. And rags don't necessarily mean that you have to wear clothes with holes, but that you should take material things lightly. And you will have endless money to spend in the future, but as long as you have a good heart, you will naturally be able to achieve this point, and the teacher will not explain much. ”
It's okay not to listen, but after listening to Zhang Zhenren's explanation, I'm even more confused. I said, "Master, but I just don't understand the apprentice, why does this wealth have anything to do with the good and evil of the heart?" And how do you know I'm going to have an endless amount of money to spend in the future? ”
Zhang Zhenren suddenly smiled proudly: "Will you have money and use it as a teacher one day?" I think my Maoshan disciples have all the skills, and there are a lot of people who ask for a lot of money, so why worry about money? Think about the countless amounts of money you have made for your teacher, but in the end, you can't save a penny. But the so-called journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and it is difficult to walk without pennis, do you think that the teacher is now nearly 100 years old, will there be less way to walk? If you don't have money, can you live today? ”
Hearing this, the previous idea of starving to death without money was finally put down. yes, why can't I turn my brain, such a powerful ability, do you still have to worry about running out of money in the future?
But at this time, Zhang Zhenren's words changed: "It is precisely because my Maoshan disciple has superb magic skills and supernatural abilities that this sect has the precept of no wealth." In order to prevent the disciples of my faction from sending /1/book/reading/novel YBDU to do things that seek money and kill people. You must keep this in mind! ”
At this time, Zhang Zhenren's expression was completely different from before, and his face was full of positive color. I know that he can be tolerant of the first two commandments, but this is the only one that he wants me to keep in my heart and keep in mind at all times. Therefore, I nodded seriously: "The disciple will definitely remember the precepts of my sect, and will never dare to cross the line in the slightest, please rest assured, master." ”
Zhang Zhenren nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, although you and I haven't known each other for a few days, but the so-called mutual relationship is born from the heart, and you can also see from your face that you are a good person, and you must remember the precepts in the future." ”
I nodded, to be honest, I really wouldn't do anything harmful for the sake of so-called money, even without this precept. But then again, now I am more interested in how to spend this money, you must know that there will be no less money in the future, but this money cannot be kept, so I asked Zhang Zhenren: "Master, you said that you have handled countless money, but don't we want to lose money, how did the money go?" ”
Zhang Zhenren said: "Cultivators pay attention to accumulating virtue and doing good, so don't you help the poor when they get into trouble?" Don't you give alms to someone who can't eat? Don't you help the orphans at the foot of the mountain? When you saw your grandmother fall, didn't you help her? ”
Zhang Zhenren asked, I nodded, and finally Zhang Zhenren threw his hand: "Since you also feel that these people need help, can you still leave the overnight money?" ”
Hearing this, I had to shake my head stupidly. "So as long as you are dedicated to goodness, then you can't keep overnight money, and if you have money, you will break it, and this precept of no wealth is difficult for you to do?" Zhang Zhenren smiled slightly.
Yes, there are people in trouble everywhere in this world, if you do it with a heart of accumulating virtue and doing good, how can you leave a penny of this money. Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that these three precepts were not precepts at all, but more like three exhortations to teach you how to be a good person.
As soon as the apprenticeship was over, the sky had already darkened. Zhang Zhenren got up and looked at the silent night sky outside the house, turned his head and said to me: "It's not early, plus I've been on the mountain road for a day, my old bones are also tired, let's rest early!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Zhenren walked towards the bedroom
I looked left and right, only to find that this thatched mountain house has only one living room and one room, which means that this house has no guest rooms! So I hurriedly shouted, "Master, where am I sleeping?" You don't want me to sleep with you, do you? ”
Although it is now a master-apprentice relationship, and they are of the same sex, there is nothing wrong with sleeping together. But you know, I've been used to sleeping alone, and suddenly there's one more person around me, and it's a man, and I can't stand the awkwardness.
Zhang Zhenren stepped into the door with his front foot and turned his head with a surprised face: "Who said that I slept with you, my old man couldn't sleep well because of insomnia, and he was most afraid of others snoring." "So where do I sleep?" You haven't scheduled it yet? Now I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, am I making a floor in the living room?
Zhang Zhenren patted his head and his face was full of apologies: "Blame me, I asked you to move all the way from Shenzhen to me, but I forgot to arrange a place for you to sleep." "It's okay, I'm a casual person, as long as I have a place to sleep." Since they apologized, and there was really no more place to sleep in this little thatched hut, I simply laid it on the floor, and I didn't ask for a bed to sleep in, just give me a quilt.
But what I didn't expect was that the bad smile that appeared on Zhang Zhenren's face again, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, thinking that this old man had come up with some hurtful ideas?
Sure enough, Zhang Zhenren smiled: "Since you also said that you can sleep anywhere, then you can sleep outside the house!" "What? Sleeping outside the house? "Although I was mentally prepared for seeing him laugh evilly, but the result was too unexpected, right? I don't believe that an old man who is full of virtue and good deeds would do such a vicious thing?
Zhang Zhenren nodded, as if this matter was very natural: "Yes, sleep outside the house, anyway, you just need to have a place to sleep." Then go and sleep on the flat ground at the foot of this cliff, which is very good, and the place is large, and it is quiet, and the village is on the east side, two miles from you, and no one will disturb you. ”
I really can't wait to smoke my two ears now, saying what's not good, I have to say that I can sleep anywhere, and the trouble comes from the mouth, this is really the ancients who don't deceive me!
Zhang Zhenren saw my reluctance, so he said: "I'm serious, you have to sleep there tonight, this is also the first lesson for the teacher to give you, so you have to go, you have to go!" "What? Class! Sleeping outside in the wilderness at night, this is also a class? "I was really blinded when I heard this, is this true or a lie to me, why have I never heard of Maoshan disciples having to take such a class when they get started?
Zhang Zhenren nodded: "Of course, it's a class, and it's the first class of the beginner, it's called practicing courage!" You must know that my Maoshan secret technique is dedicated to catching ghosts and subduing demons, and it is difficult to exorcise evil spirits, if you are afraid to even sleep in the wilderness, then how can you have the courage to face the evil spirits and evil ghosts? ”
After hearing this, all the resentment in my heart suddenly disappeared, what Zhang Zhenren said was not wrong, it seems that I really have to go tonight.
sighed, said goodbye to Zhang Zhenren, and then prepared to go out of the house. But at this time, Zhang Zhenren suddenly shouted at me: "What, I forgot to tell you, the flat land on the west side of the cliff is actually a mass grave, and everyone in the village who died is buried there." Especially in the past two years, the burial of the dead are mainly young people, so there are often some strange things that make people feel strange, and there are usually few villagers who dare to go there, tired of evil! ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but shudder violently, and the foot that had just stepped out of the threshold immediately retracted, this damn me was not very bold, can I not be afraid when I hear this kind of words at night? Now don't talk about sleeping there, just thinking about it is enough to make my hair shiver.
Zhang Zhenren saw that I had retreated, and he was displeased: "What's wrong, it's not early, let's go quickly." Although that place is a bit evil, but fortunately, no one dares to disturb your sleep, so it's happy to be quiet. But you don't have to worry, there is a talisman here for the teacher, you put the talisman in your chest pocket, no matter what happens, you just have to close your eyes and sleep. You know? With that, he took out a yellow talisman from his bag and handed it to me.
took the yellow talisman and looked at it, but I couldn't understand anything, maybe the so-called ghost talisman was the thing it was talking about. But although we can't understand it, I know that it will definitely protect me, and it must be impossible for Zhang Zhenren to let me lose my life, right?
Although I was still scared and frightened, I had to bite the bullet and go outside
Outside, the night is deep, through a layer of gray night fog, a bleak moonlight hangs quietly in the air, and the lonely grass and trees are intertwined with the moonlight and night fog, which is a little weird.
The night road down the mountain was dark, and there was no end in sight, and the woods by the road sounded from time to time with the sound of "woo woo", and I don't know if it was the call of night birds or something else. And I walked alone on this road down the mountain
The night road was silent and gloomy, the howling of the wind blowing in my ears, and the rustling of the leaves from the wind from time to time could startle me.
At night, I walked alone, not daring to come back, because I was afraid that I would see something else when I turned back
Soon, I finally came to the place on the west side of the cliff mountain, the mass grave!
To put it bluntly, the mass graves are not regulated, so this kind of graves are one in the east and one in the west, and they are very messy. Although it is messy, there are a lot of graves here, because as long as the people of the ancient village die, they are buried here.
At this time, under the illumination of the moonlight, the mass graves were lit one by one on small earthen bags, and ghost fires were lit, flickering bright and dark; And the wreaths on those new graves, a bunch of white flowers, are even more creepy.
Especially those new graves, there are a few brand-new wreaths on the graves, and there will be a three-meter-high spirit flag, which is whirring in the night wind, and the ground is full of white flowers, and I tremble!
