Chapter 301: Ram's Funeral
"I'm Dojin, and he's a Heavenly Master. Shopkeeper Lu, you don't have any impression at all? Seeing the suspicious eyes of the shopkeeper Lu, Duo Jin didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid.
"I don't know you, but how do you know what Fu Ye said?" Shopkeeper Lu continued to shake his head and say.
"Heavenly Master, it seems that Shopkeeper Lu has lost part of his memory. He can't remember you and me, he only remembers Fu Ye~"
"Let's go back to our room, Dorkin, and it won't help to talk to him again." Zhang Tianshi seems that the shopkeeper Lu has broken his brain and can't recognize people, maybe he will heal himself after dawn, and then he will talk about it.
The wind was whistling, and the gray smoke was wafting on the courtyard again, and the shopkeeper Lu was so frightened that he had already fled into the room and closed the door heavily. The gray smoke gradually swirled around a large bird, and in an instant it flew away like lightning, disappearing into the boundless sky.
"Great Eagle Fairy!" Zhang Tianshi blurted out, thinking to himself, could it be that the loss of the memory of the shopkeeper Lu was caused by the big eagle? Just like after the Queen Mother of the West of the Heavenly Palace said that he was the Heavenly Master, the people who used to call him a mage in the mortal world changed their mouths and called him the Heavenly Master.
However, there is no way to confirm it, Zhang Tianshi can only watch the big eagle leave and go into the room with Duojin to rest, and after many days of hard work, Zhang Tianshi slept soundly in bed until dawn until he was awakened by the noise outside the hospital.
Zhang Tianshi opened the door and saw that the shopkeeper Lu kept shouting in the courtyard, arranging the horse team to go in and out, and he was very busy. When Shopkeeper Lu saw Zhang Tianshi walking towards him, he only glanced at him and didn't say hello, as if he had never known Zhang Tianshi.
"Shopkeeper Lu~" Zhang Tianshi was a little strange, so he took the initiative to say hello.
"Guest officer, what are your needs? You and the buddy will say, I'll be busy in a moment. Shopkeeper Lu was busy and didn't pay attention to Zhang Tianshi.
"Shopkeeper Lu. Didn't we meet last night, why are we so forgetful? Dorking also felt strange.
"Guest, did you recognize the wrong person, where did we meet last night?" Shopkeeper Lu turned around and asked when he heard Duojin say this.
"Just in the courtyard, the wind was raging, you fell to the ground, or did the Heavenly Master help you up, did you forget?"
"Guest officer, I see that you really recognize the wrong person, I have been sleeping in the house last night, how can I come out to meet you? Guest officer, you really recognize the wrong person. Shopkeeper Lu smiled and patted Duojin's shoulder, but when he saw Zhang Tianshi, he was puzzled and said, "Where do you seem to have seen this guest officer, have you been to "Yuecheng Inn" before?" ”
"You saw it last night!" Duojin couldn't figure out whether the shopkeeper Lu had really lost his memory or was pretending to be stupid.
"Guest, you're joking again, I'll be busy first, and I'll talk to you after I play something." Shopkeeper Lu thought that he would meet two crazy people, so he casually found an excuse to prevaricate and walked to the corner of the courtyard.
"Uncle. Hetian jade, the goods are good and cheap~~" Following the landing shopkeeper, seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Tianshi gently read Fu Ye's words.
"Ah, who are you~~!" The shopkeeper Lu twitched violently like a cramp, and when he turned around, he hit the carriage on the right side with a bang and fell to the ground.
"Shopkeeper Lu, I said that I am Duojin, and I am Duojin of Suojiqu. We really saw it in the yard last night, and we also saw Fu Ye being killed by the Khitans in the yard~~"
"You guys, aren't you possessed by Fu Ye's ghosts? Fu Ye, I'm kind enough to pay for the monk to overdo it for you, don't come to me, reincarnate with peace of mind~" Shopkeeper Lu couldn't stop muttering.
"We just heard Fu Ye's voice that night, maybe we really haven't seen it. Shopkeeper Lu, I'm sorry~" Zhang Tianshi pulled off Duojin's sleeve, winked at him, and said to the shopkeeper Lu when he turned to leave.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it scares me. I'll just say, how can ghosts haunt in broad daylight. After the shopkeeper Lu finished speaking, he walked into the house.
"Heavenly Master, what's going on? We obviously saw Shopkeeper Lu last night! Duo Jin asked Zhang Tianshi very puzzled.
"Some of the memories of Shopkeeper Lu may be erased by the Great Eagle Immortal, and it is normal that he can't recognize us. You don't have to explain it to him, let's go back to Sogi. ”
"The dense fog is the illusion of the great eagle fairy? And why did he do that, Heavenly Master? ”
"The gods have their own reasons for what they do, and how do we mortals know. The next time I met a big eagle, I asked it, and I don't know if I would tell it. Zhang Tianshi went back to the house to pack his bags, and then went with Duojin to say goodbye to the shopkeeper Lu.
At this time, the shopkeeper Lu began to be busy in the courtyard again, and when he saw Duojin coming, he asked, "Is the guest officer here to stay?" I'll let the guy find you a room. ”
Duojin was ridiculous when he heard this, they had spoken before a pillar of incense, and in a blink of an eye, the shopkeeper Lu forgot everything and couldn't recognize him, it seems that the heavenly master was right, and some of the memories of the shopkeeper Lu were erased by the big eagle immortal.
However, when the shopkeeper Lu saw Zhang Tianshi behind Duojin, he was stunned for a moment and asked in panic, "Who are you?" ”
"He's a day~" Before Duojin could speak, he asked Zhang Tianshi to stop it with his eyes, but Zhang Tianshi said to the landing shopkeeper, "In the lower Jiangnan Dongming Mansion, Zhang Qingyuan." ”
"Guest officer, you, you~~ recognize Fu Ye?" Shopkeeper Lu looked at Zhang Tianshi again and asked hesitantly.
"I don't know, shopkeeper. When I first arrived in Qingtang City, I didn't know anyone. Zhang Tianshi was also tired of explaining to the shopkeeper Lu, and now he just wanted to leave this strange shopkeeper Lu.
Horses, galloping in the wilderness. Duo Jin said to Zhang Tianshi, "It seems that Shopkeeper Lu has forgotten about us when he sees us, is he stupid?" I don't think it's the magic cast by the Great Eagle Immortal, and the Great Eagle Immortal doesn't need to do this at all. ”
"Maybe the big eagle fairy doesn't want too many people to know about Fu Ye, maybe it's just a coincidence as you said, maybe there is a secret we don't know~~" Zhang Tianshi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about things anymore, now he only wanted to drink barley wine from Suojiqu.
Zhang Tianshi's life in the second Suoji song is very simple, except for eating and drinking, it is to watch the villagers sing and dance the happy life. Dong Yu Zampu also did not send anyone to call Zhang Tianshi to enter the palace, indicating that Fu Ye's ghost no longer appeared in Zampu Palace, and the lock dragon well was also safe and sound, and the underground river never rose again, and the only thing that Zhang Tianshi missed was Princess Ram, who was forever separated from heaven and man.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was seven days after Ram's death. Dong Yu Zampu will hold a cremation for Ram, and Zhang Tianshi and Duojin will ride their horses to Qingtang City early.
Ram's cremation was chosen in the burial ground in the west of Qingtang City, where generally speaking, the cremated monks were either high-ranking monks or high-ranking officials. When Zhang Tianshi arrived at the Tsangpu Palace, the funeral had not yet begun, and many lamas were chanting and praying for Lam.
Soon after, the lamas folded Ram's limbs on folds with gold, silver, jewelry, and flowers, poured ghee into Ram's facial features, and then wrapped them in pure white cloth and carried them to the crematorium on a wooden frame.
In the center of the burial ground, there is a firewood pile made of firewood, and the firewood pile is supported by huge firewood around it to prevent it from collapsing.
The lamas carried Ram to a pyre and filled her with grains and sugar, and the monks continued to chant sutras in front of Ram and prayed for Ram to enter the Pure Land of Bliss as soon as possible.
Eventually, the lama sprinkled ghee on the pyre, lit a fire, and the roar of the flames burned. The fire grew stronger and stronger, staining the entire sky with red, and gradually burning Ram to ashes.
The lamas collected Ram's ashes and prepared to take them to the top of the mountain to spread them in the wind, Ram liked the freedom of the wind during his lifetime, and this way to end her earthly concern was also her favorite way.
Suddenly, a white cloud in the clear blue sky floated in the direction of the burial ground, and gradually transformed into a big bird in the air. "Great Eagle Fairy!" Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but scream, and the big bird formed by the white clouds continued to fly in the air and flapped its huge wings.
"The Celestial Manifestations!" The lamas first knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the white clouds, and all the people heard the lamas shouting the heavenly gods and immediately knelt down to worship the white clouds in the sky.
At this moment, wisps of white smoke drifted from the ashes that Ram burned into, and gradually in the middle of the night she transformed into Ram, wearing a plain robe and wearing a white wreath, and her hair draped behind her head with a variety of white shells, her pure face was as white as the white clouds in the sky, her smiling eyes were as happy as birds in the sky, and her thin lips were shining with the sweetest smile.
"Princess Ram, that's Princess Ram's pure soul! Princess Ram is a fairy in the sky, and it is the gods who come to pick up the fairy and return to heaven! The crowd didn't believe their eyes, and they were lucky enough to see the fairy ascend to heaven.
The white smoke of Ram's soul gradually dissolved into the white clouds, and Ram's soul sat on the big bird formed by the white clouds and flew towards the sky. Zhang Tianshi waved at Ram in the sky with tears in his eyes, jumped on his horse and chased in the direction of the white clouds, he wanted to look at Ram more.
Bai Yun also seemed to understand Zhang Tianshi's mood, but he floated slowly, and Zhang Tianshi rode a horse under the white clouds and followed the smile of Ram in the sky. Just when the white clouds drifted over the Zhiwu Mountain on the outskirts of the city, the white clouds suddenly stopped fluttering, and I saw white smoke floating from the top of the mountain and turned into water monkeys in mid-air, which was also a white water monkey.
"How so!" The shocked Zhang Tianshi reined in his horse and looked at the water monkey's soul floating on the back of the big bird formed by the white clouds, and the big bird carried Ram and the water monkey towards the sky.
Tuk Tuk Tuk rode over to Dojin also saw the soul of the water monkey flying away with the big bird, so he asked Zhang Tianshi strangely: "Could it be that the water monkey is also a god?" It doesn't make sense~~"
"Understood, I understood~" Zhang Tianshi looked at the sky where Ram's trace had been lost, and kept muttering to himself.
"Heavenly Master, what do you understand!" Duojin was very anxious, this water monkey was actually a god, so they drove the water monkey out of the lock dragon well and killed it, offending the god, what should I do!
"The big eagle said that what I see is not necessarily true, and the evil I see in others is not necessarily evil. In fact, it is a metaphor that the water monkey is not the evil we see~~" Zhang Tianshi seemed to understand something.
"I still don't understand~" Duojin didn't understand what Zhang Tianshi was talking about.
