body

What's wrong with me? Ye Feng rubbed his aching head, vaguely remembering the strange scene that happened just now. I was taking a nap, but why did I float out of the room in a daze? Yes, it floated out, and his ~ legs obviously didn't move, but his body just moved forward with his thoughts? There was a strange sound from Grandpa Wang's house next door, and he wanted to take a look, so his body followed his mind through the thick courtyard wall and stood in the courtyard of Grandpa Wang's house.

A carpenter in his forties was tinkering with a pile of lumber in the yard, sawing and planing something, and walked up to the drawings he had spread out and looked at the coffin. Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang are under 60 years old, and they are both physically strong, why did they think of making coffins? Their son and daughter-in-law work in the city, and they come back every month to visit them, not only sending them back with big fish and meat, but also stuffing them with some pocket money. Although they have been married for two years and have not added a man and a half girl to their old Wang family, they are still filial to their old couple. Isn't it a bit too early to make a coffin at this time?

There was no one in the room, and the wall clock on the wall showed the current time, three ~ half past three in the afternoon. An old yellow dog swaggered in from outside the courtyard gate, looked at the busy carpenter, and then turned and went into the kitchen. It's Ah Huang, an old pet raised by Grandpa Wang's family for fifteen or sixteen years. When he was three and a half years old, he was taken home by Grandpa Wang and raised, and was one of the few playmates when he was a child. When he grew up, his eyebrows were white, his old eyes were cloudy and deep, and he was as melancholy and indifferent as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. What does it do in the kitchen? Isn't its food bowl in front of the kennel under the big locust tree in the corner of the yard?

Out of curiosity, Ye Feng commanded his mind to follow, and sure enough, his body moved lightly towards the kitchen door. The carpenter didn't seem to be aware of his existence at all, otherwise why didn't he react at all when he was floating around?

As soon as he came to the kitchen window, he heard a squeaky sound coming from inside, and Ye Feng quickly put his head on the glass of the window. Rural kitchens were old-fashioned stoves, wood-burning stoves with chimneys, not burning natural gas like the kitchens in the city today, with range hoods on them. So there is a thick layer of oil smoke on the glass of this kitchen, which is sticky and disgusting. But for some reason, he could see the scene in the kitchen very clearly.

I saw Ah Huang standing upright on his hind legs, and his two front legs hugged the dining table and moved towards the middle of the kitchen with difficulty. The dining table was an old-fashioned eight-immortal table made of mahogany, which was very clumsy and heavy, and the legs of the table creaked against the concrete floor. Ah Huang moved the table while watching the movement at the door vigilantly. The kitchen door is covered with a curtain made of bamboo strips, and it is like a shutter that allows you to see the outside from the inside, but it is difficult to see the inside from the outside. In the middle of the kitchen is a vertical iron hook with a large bamboo basket covered with a clean white cloth. In rural areas, this is a common occurrence where there are too many rats and this method is used to preserve food. I saw Ah Huang move the table under the basket, then jumped on the table, stood upright, and hugged the basket down with his two front paws. Lift the white cloth covering the basket, revealing a basket full of white flowers.

Yo hey, this Ah Huang is so capable that he actually learned to steal it. I saw it gobble it up, and after a while, the basket full of white-flour buns went down a little half. When it was full, it covered it with a white cloth, picked up the bamboo basket and hung it on the hook, and then moved the table back to its original place. Then he lazily walked out of the kitchen and dozed off in his kennel.

With a "whoosh", a black wild cat jumped up the wall, startling both the carpenter and Ye Feng. The carpenter waved the saw in his hand and shouted a few times, and when he saw that the wild cat was not afraid, he lowered his head again and went about his own work. But the wild cat was looking at Ye Feng's position, and from time to time bared his teeth and whined. Well? Can it see itself? Ye Feng looked at the wild cat curiously. Sure enough, there is something different, the pupils of other cats will shrink into a thin line during the day, but the pupils of this cat are wide open, black like a thousand-year-old hole, which makes people feel like they have fallen into it at a glance.

Suddenly, two green lights flashed in the cat's eyes of the pair of black holes~ holes, and Ye Feng only felt that his body was light when he saw it, and he was sucked in by a strong force. Then the cat ran and ran with him, and ran out of the village and into the back hills. I don't know how long I ran, but I turned through a forest and came to a temple. Luohan Temple? Isn't this a temple that I grew up in? What does it come here for? Because of his physical condition, he was sent by his grandfather to this Luohan Temple to listen to the scriptures and practice martial arts when he was a child, and wanted to use the power of Buddhism to help him stabilize his soul. But to this day, although the old monk has taught him some kung fu and medical skills, he still has not been effectively treated for his soul-leaving disease. The black cat walked into the temple with light steps, and then stood still in a corner of the Mahavira Hall, staring blankly at the angry Protector Vajra.

"You still dare to come?" A roar rang out, and a young monk in an earthy yellow monk's robe stood behind the black cat. Ye Feng recognized that this monk was Su Yuan, who had been playing with him since childhood. The black cat didn't look back at the monk behind him, which made Su Yuan quite puzzled? When he stepped forward and saw the eyes of the black cat, he was shocked and said, "You evil animal, you dare to devour people's souls in broad daylight, and you have spent a thousand days of practice listening to the scriptures." ”

Hearing this, the black cat turned its head, looked at Su Yuan, stepped back a few meters, and suddenly bowed forward, slamming into the demon pestle in the hand of the Dharma Protector Vajra. "Poof~" red and white splashed, and the black cat's head cracked, and then fell to the ground.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! An old monk in a robe walked slowly, looked at the situation in front of him, and sighed: "The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant." Maybe this black cat has received the favor of the Ye family, and actually used this life-changing method to save that kid. The cat has nine lives, it wants to renew the life of this kid of the Ye family! ”

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Master, this kid of the Ye family has been weak since he was born, and he often leaves his body and wanders in the void. His grandfather has sent him to our temple for more than ten years, listened to the scriptures thousands of times, and was deeply taught by the master, but he could not settle his soul. Is there a way for this black cat to help him die? ”

The old monk smiled slightly, and said incomprehensibly: "The Buddha was swallowed by a peacock in his belly, and later called him his biological mother. This black cat wanted to imitate the peacock and swallow the Ye family kid into his belly, and this one out and one entry achieved the nine lives of the kid's cat fetus. He took a bowl on top of the incense table, filled it with water, and put Ye Feng's soul into it, then turned to Su Yuan and said, "The apprentice immediately went down the mountain, found the Ye family, and asked his family to come to the temple to set up an immortal plaque for him." He has been taught by me all these years, and he has been my lay disciple. At night, you and I need to do a ritual for him to help him leave his soul and return to his body, and achieve the nine lives of the cat's fetus. ”

No wonder the black cat's behavior in the past few days is a little abnormal, rummaging through the scriptures everywhere, it turns out that he learned that his life is not long, and he sacrificed his life to repay the favor. It's just that I pity those few scriptures that have been torn by cat's paws, and I'm afraid that they will no longer be able to be glued as before. Su Yuan suddenly realized, agreed to his master's instructions, and set off to go down the mountain to Ye Feng's house. The family who had seen Ye Feng said the reason, Ye Feng's grandfather and father knew about Ye Feng's situation, so they were naturally convinced, and they came to the temple with Su Yuan. donated incense money, and then set up an immortal monument for Ye Feng and put it on the hall to facilitate the acceptance of incense in the world.

"When I was hunting in the mountains, I saw that this black cat was caught in the hind legs of an iron clamp, and it was difficult to break free. I saw that it had a baby in its womb, and I was moved by compassion and let it go. I didn't expect it to understand human nature and come to repay the favor. Ye Feng's grandfather sighed in his heart, and after obtaining the old monk's consent, he buried the black cat under the Bodhi tree in the temple. I hope that it can rest here for a long time, listen to the scriptures and enlighten the Tao, and one day it will be able to achieve good results.

At night, the old monk sent Su Yuan to light a lotus life-sustaining lamp, holding a bowl containing Ye Feng's soul, and rushed to Ye's house amid his repeated chanting.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the sky is clear. An old yellow dog sneaked out of the door of his house and ran into the courtyard of the Ye family next door. When it saw that the light was on in Ye Feng's room, it was not afraid, and ran straight in, hiding under the bed.

The Ye family has prepared incense cases, fire candles and other necessary supplies for the Dharma in the middle of the living room, just waiting for the arrival of the old monk and the apprentice to open the altar. I drank tea, reminisced about the past, lit candles, and burned incense. When the wooden fish sounded, and the scriptures were about to be written, the old monk frowned, and his heart unconsciously became nervous. No, why can't this Ye Feng's soul return for a long time?
