Chapter Twenty-Four: The Physiognomist's Choice
"Grandpa knew about the evil Buddha and the yin puppet, why didn't he tell me?" It's something I've been thinking about and I've never been able to figure it out.
But when we returned to the ward and I saw Xia Dongcheng with only an empty shell left, I suddenly understood my grandfather's intentions.
Grandpa was actually worried about me. I was worried that I would not be able to do enough and give my life.
He told me that the second half of the Golden Sutra could save my life, so that I could completely lift the curse, and also to allow me to grow up in the process of searching for the scriptures.
If I had told me about the puppet directly, I might have confronted the puppet head-on in order to save people. In that case, the chances of survival are too slim.
So Grandpa chose to hide the news, let me hell with it, start exercising small, and grow up first.
If I can find the second half of the Golden Sutra, that's all it says. If I can't find it, I can live to be sixty years old, and I can count it as earned.
It's just that grandpa didn't expect that I would encounter a yin puppet when I was just a fledgling.
Maybe this is the providence of God, which has taken a more difficult path for me.
It was a dangerous path, but I was determined to go on it.
I couldn't have known that there was a clue to save my grandfather, but I ignored it for safety. It is impossible to let Xia Tian die, and he will not be saved when he sees death.
In that case, I am not worthy of being Lin Hesheng's successor.
Looking ahead and looking back, you can't be a real master of feng shui physiognomy.
I breathed a long sigh of relief and said silently in my heart: Master Zu bless. There is no mortal situation in the world, I hope I can choose the right way to live tonight.
Li Shan went to buy food, and Xia Tian and I stayed in the ward.
Xia Tian suddenly said, "Lin Feng, where are you?" ”
I whispered, "I'm right next to you, don't worry about your eyes, I guess it will be back tomorrow before dawn." ”
Xia Tian hummed lowly.
She followed the voice to find my place, turned her head, and whispered, "You say, will today be my last day?" ”
I was just about to speak, but Xia Tian suddenly smiled again: "You don't have to comfort me, in fact, I know everything." These ghosts are not so easy to deal with. ”
She stood up and stretched: "Actually, it doesn't matter, I should have died when I was young, and I earned it for more than ten years." ”
I looked at her in surprise: "You know everything? ”
Xia Tian hummed in a low voice: "My mother told me." It is a miracle to say that I had lost my breath when I was a child, and then I was rescued. ”
"I also always thought it was a miracle, and it wasn't until so many things happened recently that I realized, maybe...... I really died back then. Is something happening to me? ”
I snorted.
Xia Tian turned her head and asked me very sincerely, "Can you tell me?" I don't want to die in a mess. ”
I smiled, "Don't be so pessimistic, you won't necessarily die tonight." ”
Still, I'll tell you what happened.
Tonight, you won't necessarily die, but you won't necessarily live.
I can't bear to let Xia Tian die without knowing the truth.
When I talked about Xia Dongcheng, I hesitated, but I still told her the truth.
"Your dad has lost his soul in order to save you."
When Xia Tian heard this, her body shook violently.
She leaned against the wall, groped her way to Xia Dongcheng's bedside, and then reached out to touch his face.
Tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped on Xia Dongcheng's body.
Xia Tian was crying silently.
Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open.
Xia Tian hurriedly wiped her tears and groped her way to stand in the corner with her back to us.
It was Li Shan who came back.
She was carrying the rice in her hand and asked Xia Tian curiously, "What are you doing standing there?" ”
Xia Tian smiled reluctantly, and said in a calm voice as much as possible, "I'm practicing walking." ”
Li Shan put down the meal: "What are you doing with that?" Won't your eyes be better tomorrow? Isn't it, Master Lin? ”
I smiled, "Yes." But...... Your name for me has changed again, from Mr. Lin to Mr. Lin, from Mr. Lin to Master Lin, and you have called me older and older. ”
Xia Tian, who was standing in the corner, snorted and laughed.
Unfortunately, she had her back to me, and I didn't have the chance to see the smile of the iceberg beauty.
After breakfast, I said to Li Shan, "Xia Tian and I have to leave." Let's go set it up and see you tomorrow morning. ”
Li Shan asked nervously, "Does Xia Tian have to go too?" ”
I was a little helpless: "What you said, can Xia Tian not go?" ”
Li Shan stopped talking.
Yes, it's impossible for Xia Tian not to go. The yin puppet is here for Xia Tian.
I instructed Li Shan, "Tonight, no matter what you do, don't leave the ward. Whatever you see or hear, take it as an illusion and don't go to us. ”
Li Shan smiled reluctantly: "I'm afraid that I will cause trouble for you." ”
I didn't speak, after all, Li Shan is indeed a pig teammate, there is nothing to dispute.
After explaining, I found a wheelchair, let Xia Tian sit on it, and pushed her outside.
Li Shan suddenly chased out of the ward and called me, "Master Lin." ”
I stopped, turned my head and asked, "What?" ”
Li Shan whispered, "Don't die. ”
When she said these two words, she was already crying. After saying that, tears began to roll down.
She fled back to the room and closed the door.
Then, I heard a whimper coming from inside.
I sighed and pushed Xia Tian into the elevator.
Xia Tian asked me, "Where are we going?" ”
I said, "Go back to your house." It's all because of the Burial Wind Cave, so let's solve this matter in the Burial Wind Cave. Carry something through to the end. ”
On the way back, I bought something to use for the evening.
Yellow paper, candles, cinnabar, mahogany...... He even went to the slaughterhouse to buy some blood from livestock and bought a butcher's knife at a high price.
The butcher hesitated when he gave me the knife, and told me, "Don't do anything evil." If you take this knife and kill people and set fire, I don't admit it. ”
I smiled, "Don't worry." ”
For the sake of money, the butcher gave me the knife.
An hour later, we were back in the neighborhood.
The security guards were still as conscientious as before, but with Xia Tian here, we went in smoothly.
As soon as I entered the community, I frowned.
Something is wrong here.
It was too quiet, not a single sound.
The villa area is very upscale and built like a garden. Originally, as soon as you entered, you could hear the sound of birds. But this time, there was no sound.
Not even the wind.
The big trees stood there silently, motionless. I don't know why, but I had a strange feeling in my heart, as if there were many pairs of eyes staring at us in the dark.
I threw away these distractions and pushed Xia Tian back to the villa.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Xia Tian shuddered: "Are we back yet?" I think it's scary here. ”
I stared ahead and said faintly, "yes, we're back." It seems that the puppet coincides with us, and plans to wait for us here. ”
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a green jade Buddha.
The Jade Buddha shone in the sunlight with an evil smile on its face.
This is obviously a dead thing, but its gaze makes people's hearts furious.
