Chapter 101: Small Temple Immortal Dao
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the sky and sighed softly, falling into silence.
Lisa sighed: "The sorrow of women in feudal society. ”
Luo Hui muttered, "Is there really such a thing as a curse in this world? ”
Xiaoman asked curiously: "Uncle, aren't you from Fengmen Village?" Aren't you not cursed and living well? ”
The old man came back to his senses, smiled mysteriously at a few people and said, "I, didn't you say that you saw my posthumous portrait, I died once, and I almost went to the funeral, hehe, in fact, I am a white gentleman, specializing in handling the aftermath for others." ”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and Luo Hui muttered, "Can Mr. Bai Shi escape this curse?" How does it work? ”
The old man saw that a few people were curious, so he didn't sell it anymore, and talked about what was going on.
The old man's family also died because of the curse, leaving him alone and a lonely old man, one evening he came back from running a white business in another village, passing by a peach forest, suddenly felt thirsty, and drank the water again, he wanted to eat a peach, but now it was night, the orchard was unguarded, if you don't ask to take it is a theft, he thought about it and took out the money and tied it to the branches and leaves, and picked a peach, so it was not considered stealing.
Xiaoman gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, your moral character is really not blown, admire!" ”
The old man smiled and waved his hand and said, "Those who do our business deal with dead people all day long, and they are most afraid of retribution, so they have developed a good habit, which is nothing." ”
Lisa said blankly, "Don't interrupt the old man's speech, it's rude." ”
The old man smiled and continued.
The old man picked the peaches and ate them while walking on the mountain road, and when he was about to finish eating, he suddenly felt that someone had pushed him, and the peach pit swallowed the whole thing and stuck in his throat, but when he turned around, he saw that there was no one around, and he immediately realized that it was a curse manifestation, and a sense of fear struck!
The survival instinct forced the old man to choke his neck, trying to get the peach pit out, but he couldn't get it out at all, and soon the old man felt suffocated, his vision darkened, and he fell to the ground in pain and lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found that he was lying in the hall of a dilapidated temple, and there was an old Taoist chief wearing tattered Taoist robes, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, who was extremely thin but full of red face, and he couldn't tell his age at all.
Seeing the old man wake up, the old Taoist elder asked with a smile, "Wake up." ”
The old man sat up, his memory was a little fragmented, he nodded blankly, and said in a daze: "Dao Chief, where am I?" ”
The old Taoist chief got up without saying a word and walked towards the outside of the temple, the old man followed, only to find that at the top of the West Mountain, here can overlook the reservoir and the whole picture of Fengmen Village, this small temple has existed for a long time, even longer than the history of Fengmen Village, the small temple is isolated on the top of the West Mountain, surrounded by cliffs, ordinary people can't come up at all, even if it is a rock climbing master, the villagers are very curious about how this temple was built on the top of the mountain, think it is a miracle, so this unknown small temple is called the temple, and it is also rumored that there are immortals living in it.
The old man hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old Taoist chief, shouting, "Thank you to the gods for saving your life." ”
The old Taoist couldn't help laughing, helped the old man up, and said: "I'm not a god, just a stinky Taoist who lives on the top of the mountain, I don't necessarily have one or two mountains for decades, this time I accidentally went down the mountain to do things, I didn't expect to meet you fell on the edge of the orchard, checked and found that you stopped breathing, your heart stopped, your soul was scattered, you are a dying person, the reason why a person dies must be causally implicated, it is the fate of heaven, the poor road should not intervene to save you, but when you go down the mountain, you are dying, and you can be regarded as having a source, The embodiment of the deep blessing, life should not be extinguished, pinch your fingers, reveal a trace of vitality in your life, and saving you is not considered to be disobeying the heavens, so I will bring you back to save your life, so you don't have to thank me, it is your own life that makes you have this blessing. ”
The old man stood there in a daze, ignorant of the old man's words.
The old Taoist said heartily: "There is a gloomy aura in your body, which is not brought by yourself, but caused by perennial external invasion. ”
The old man was surprised, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Dao Ye is really a god, I am Mr. Bai Shi who handles the aftermath in the village, our village has suffered a curse over the years, and some people have died all year round, and some of the corpses are so terrifying that even the family members dare not collect the corpses, all of them are collected on my behalf, and the corpses will be repaired completely by sewing and repairing, so that the deceased can go on the road with peace of mind. ”
The old Taoist chief stared at Fengmen Village, and said with a solemn expression: "Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and good fortune is profound, this is why you can escape the catastrophe, but it is a pity that Fengmen Village is angry, and the invisible black gas envelops the entire village, and every villager has a blood relationship with the villagers back then, and there is no way to hide." ”
The old man was shocked: "Since Dao Ye knows about Fengmen Village, why don't you come to the rescue, this is the life of the whole village." ”
The old Taoist elder turned around, shook his head helplessly and went into the temple, and muttered: "I have already said that everything has its own fate, and there must be cause and effect involved in death, and interfering will only defy the heavens, and if I interfere with my years of cultivation, it will be ruined in one fell ......." ”
For the next few days, the old man stayed in the small temple on the top of the mountain, and the old Taoist told him that he had to fake his death, or the curse would come to him sooner or later.
The old Taoist cast a spell to make the old man fall asleep, and after sending him down the mountain, the old man followed the instructions of the old Taoist to do it, first made his own portrait and hung it on the beams of the house, and then found a missing body of a traveler in distress in the deep mountains and old forests and placed it in the coffin, in order to hide from the world, I didn't expect the old Taoist to point out this trick was very effective, and he successfully avoided the curse.
The old man said here and sighed: "Anyway, I'm so old, in fact, it doesn't matter if I don't hide from the curse, but people always seek to survive, how can there be death, originally tonight the last household in Fengmen Village died, I plan to go to the old Taoist after the burial, I want to follow him to cultivate, but unfortunately in the past few years I have never been able to find the path to the top of the mountain, those cliffs can't climb up at all, I can only retreat to the second, ready to find a Taoist temple elsewhere, spend the last years, okay, I have said what I should say, you young people, If it's not fun, you have to go to Fengmen Village to play, let's go. ”
Lisa took out her phone and said, "We still want to stay for a while, and we plan to shoot a video, maybe it will go viral on the Internet." ”
"I reminded you, you have to stay with you, I can't force it, play slowly, I'm leaving." After the old man finished speaking, he patted his ass and stood up, said goodbye to a few people, and left in a hurry.
