Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dead

Thinking that I will be old and have no wife, old and no husband, and no children in the future, my heart is still cold.

The Taixu Daoist seemed to see through my concerns and explained:

The verbal greeting of Taoism is "compassion and compassion", compassion for one's own heart, compassion for others, and Taoism believes in the classic "Tao Te Ching" conveyed in the death hole is the way of heaven to justice, so widows, widows, orphans, loneliness, and disability have the right to produce in this world.

Maybe there are people in other places who discriminate against them, but Taoism will not, Taoism thinks that they are all a family when they enter the Taoist gate, so Taoism is willing to accept them, it is the ancestral master's door, let us contain them, it is the compassion of the ancestral master! ”

Mercy hammer! I just want to live well, get married, have children, retire in old age, and live the same life as normal people, never so much revenge and ideals......

If it weren't for my family and Mingyun, I wouldn't have chosen to cultivate, and I thought secretly in my heart that I would have suffered this sin.

"By the way, Master, what did you do in the five disadvantages and three shortcomings?" I asked.

"Widowhood!" He sighed deeply and said: "If it weren't for this, with your master and me's graceful posture and the knowledge of learning and wealth, I don't know how many girls were haunted by your master back then." ”

My appetite trembled, and I almost vomited out the lunch meal.

At such an age, he can say such inconsequential words......

"Knock knock."

As I was talking, I heard a knock at the gate.

It's late in the evening, and it's not the point where you burn incense and ask.

Taixu Dao Chang suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "There is business coming!" ”

"Business? What's the business? I asked, confused.

"Don't ask so much yet, you go and open the door quickly," Taixu Dao Chang got up and went back to the house to change clothes.

I hurried to the door, took the deadbolt off, and pushed the door open.

There were two people standing outside the door, the man in his fifties and the woman in her thirties.

Seeing me, the woman with swollen eyes from crying stepped forward and grabbed my arm and asked eagerly, "Little master, is Taixu Dao here?" ”

"My master is here, do you have anything to do with him?" Looking at the panicked expressions of the two people in front of them, they seemed to be in trouble.

"Little master, you help, something is wrong in our family, hurry up and take us to meet the Taixu Daoist, we have something to say to him," the woman pleaded.

As soon as I heard this, I didn't dare to slack off for fear of making a mistake, so I hurriedly led the way, "Follow me!" ”

At this time, the Taixu Daoist had already changed into a yellow Taoist robe, wearing a gossip Taoist hat, holding a handful of dust in his hand and putting it on his arm, and hurried over after hearing the sound.

"Master, these two people said that something happened at home and they wanted to look for you!" I stood on my feet and said sideways.

"Dao Chief, help! Help me! ”

When the woman saw my master, she knelt down in front of him, and the old man beside her was so anxious that she cried.

Seeing this scene in front of me, I was completely blindfolded, and I didn't know what was wrong with them.

The master quickly helped the person up and said, "What the hell happened?" ”

"I、、My man is dead!" The woman said, wiping tears from her eyes.

It stands to reason that if a dead person dies, he should go to the police station to report the case, my master is a Taoist priest, not a policeman, so he can't control this matter.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, the owner does not need to be too sad," Taixu Taoist advised.

"Dao Chief, you don't know, my hard-working son died too miserably! When I found it early this morning, the body was hanging on the gate of my house, and the old man on the side was blue ......and purple," the old man on the side sobbed.

What the? Bodies hanging on the door?

Hearing this, I sighed coldly, guessing that his family must have offended someone recently and suffered revenge, otherwise how could it be that the body was hung on the door after death?

"Hanging on the door?" Taixu Dao's dark eyes turned, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the corpse?" ”

Unexpectedly, her next sentence directly made me stupid.

"There are black scales the size of half a palm growing on the corpse, and the people in the village say that my man died of evil, and he is very angry, and we don't dare to bury easily, so I came to Baiyun Temple to find the Taoist chief to take a look."

"The boss with round eyes and an open mouth, head down, feet up, and the scales growing on his body have a heavy fishy smell?" Taixu Dao stroked his beard and asked.

"Yes, my appearance after death is exactly the same as what you said," the old man on the side showed a shocked face when he heard this.

Hearing this, I felt a strange thing in my heart, he hadn't seen this person, how did he know what the corpse looked like?

"I'm afraid your family is entangled in dirty!" Taixu Dao sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Entangled in dirt? The woman and the old man were immediately panicked, they didn't expect that the death of the family would really be the evil in the mouths of the villagers, their faces turned blue for a while, and their bodies trembled and said: "Dao Chief, please save our family, save our family." ”

"Save the dead and help the wounded, subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, this is the duty of our Dragon and Tiger Sect, there is the head of the Dao, and the medicine will definitely get rid of the disease, but recently, the price of this yellow charm cinnabar has risen sharply, although the head of the Dao regards money as dung, but the apprentice and I also have to eat, especially my apprentice, I can eat very much, and it really can't be done without money, so we have to negotiate the price before that." Taixu Dao Chang said.

Damn, I almost burst into a foul mouth when I heard this.

"This is a must, Dao Chief, how much money do you think is appropriate?" The woman asked.

"Four thousand, wrap the corpse into the burial, and the soul is over......," said Taixu Dao Chief.

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly took out a stack of money from her pocket, counted it, and handed it over, "Then there is a chief of labor in this matter." ”

Chang Liang, my master and others haven't gone yet, and she actually handed over the money.

The business in the mouth of Master Dare refers to this.

"Lin Chen, collect the money."

I hummed, and then stepped forward and took the money.

As the saying goes, if you receive money from others, you have to eliminate disasters for others.

In this way, Master and I took our baggage, locked up the Taoist temple, and followed him into a tricycle.

On the way, I always wanted to ask my master, what exactly did he mean by dirty things?

Because the road was not easy to walk, the tricycle swayed and swayed, which made my stomach turn upside down, and I was sick to death, so I had to close my mouth and wait until I got to the place to ask my master what was going on.

On the way, I learned that the old man's name was Tang Dazhu, the woman on the side was called Cuilian, who was his daughter-in-law, and the deceased was called Tang Sheng, who was his youngest son.

More than half an hour later, a tricycle drove us to the entrance of the village.

At this time, it was already dark, the village was deserted, and there were few people to see when walking on the road.

Tang Dazhu and Cuilian led the way in front, we crossed a small road, walked forward for two or three hundred meters, and saw a house with a white paper lamp hanging at the door.

The white paper lamp has the word "memorial" written on it, and there are two pairs of white couplets hanging at the door, swaying in the wind.

Tang Dazhu said that this was his house, and then invited us in.

As soon as I stepped in, a fishy smell hit me, and I looked up and saw a cedar coffin parked in the middle of the courtyard......
