Chapter 186: The Second Wife
Daoist Zishan didn't want to say more, and said lightly: "This is the highest secret of Taoism, don't inquire about it." To put it simply, there is a way to become an immortal called autopsy, first die and then shed its shell like a cicada, or the corpse is resurrected. There are four methods of autopsy, one of which is called Wenjie, which is to transform into something else after death to become an immortal, just like the corpse of the old man in front of him turned into a bamboo pole. ”
The eldest prince's mouth was open enough to throw a donkey dung egg in, "Dao Chief, what do you mean...... My dad became an immortal? ”
Zishan Dao touched his beard and saw the small coffin next to him. The housekeeper hurriedly said that this was the coffin of the eldest lady.
"Open." Zishan Dao Chang commanded.
Everyone looked at each other, this time they came here to examine the old man's corpse, and they didn't think about taking their hands to see the eldest lady. The eldest prince reacted and scolded the housekeeper, "What are you stunned, hurry up and open the coffin of that girl." ”
Zishan Dao Chang wondered: "Eldest son, isn't this your biological mother?" ”
"My mother died a long time ago," said the eldest prince, "this is what the old man married later, and it has nothing to do with me, you can check it out." ”
A few housekeepers came up and opened the lid of the eldest lady's coffin, and Zishan Daoist asked people to pass the lamp, he took it and took a breath of cold air. The others didn't have any sense of fear anymore, and they all leaned over to look, and this time they were a little confused.
My curiosity was overwhelmed, and I hurried over to see that there was a woman lying in the coffin, barely in human form. Why do you say that, this woman should have been abused by extreme inhumanity before her death, and her whole body was beaten and bruised, because she was in the coffin after death, so she changed into a new dress, but the palm marks and whips on her face are still vivid, one eye became a panda eye, her mouth was deformed and could not be closed, and her exposed teeth were obviously missing. Looking at the ten fingers again, they are all twisted and deformed, and several of them are missing the top knuckles, which look like they have been cut off alive.
Everyone looked at each other, and Zishan Daoist frowned, "What's going on?" ”
When the second wife saw this scene, she cried "wow", "Sister, you died so miserably." ”
The housekeeper whispered to the Taoist chief, "The eldest lady has taken care of the second wife who has just started before, and the relationship between the two is very good. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what the hell is going on?" Zishan Daoist was not angry and arrogant, "How did the corpse become like this?" ”
The housekeeper "this, that ......" just can't say.
The second wife fainted from crying and sobbed: "Report to the official, you must report to the official, someone insults the corpse, isn't it you?!" "A finger at the butler.
This housekeeper is quite old-fashioned, but his courage is a rat's guts, and he was pointed at by the second wife, his knees were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a crying voice: "Don't report to the official, I didn't do it." ”
"Who did that?" The second wife asked sharply.
Zishan Taoist said: "This is indeed not an insult to the corpse. Judging from the injury, it should be that he was abused when he was alive, and the housekeeper must not have the guts. ”
"Yes, yes," the butler looked at the bamboo pole placed against the table, and said in a heart, "Actually, it was the master who did it." ”
Zishan Daoist frowned and asked him to speak clearly.
The housekeeper started and simply said that the eldest lady was not the original partner of the master, and the original original partner was the mother of the eldest son, who passed away due to illness. The lord had a chance to spend a lot of money in the teaching department to redeem a girl, who was this eldest lady. What does the teaching workshop department do, it is full of official prostitutes, the so-called official prostitutes, that is, the women of large families who have raided their homes and become prostitutes.
In other words, the eldest lady was originally a young lady from an official eunuch's family, and she must be different from ordinary rouge fans, and she is proficient in piano, chess, poetry and painting, maybe the old man took a fancy to this.
After the eldest lady redeemed it, the two got married, and the eldest lady also made the main house naturally. Since the main house, the whole house up and down can rarely see the big lady, every year to save energy to see once or twice is good, it is said that it is sick, has been in the inner room to recuperate, can not come out to see people. The old man came to bring food and medicine to the eldest lady and feed the medicine or something.
Old Man Fan didn't let anyone go to see the eldest lady, not even the doctor Lang Zhong who came, and was only responsible for prescribing medicine.
Once the housekeeper sent Lang Zhong out and quietly asked the eldest lady what kind of illness she had. Lang Zhong saw that there was no one around, and the relationship with the housekeeper was not bad, so he whispered to him that Lang Zhong did not see him, but only prescribed some medicine. These medicines are also strange, they are all bruises and painkillers, giving people a feeling that this big lady seems to have been doing very dangerous and difficult physical work, and has never been idle, but this situation is impossible, the mansion has to work, some are people, the housekeeper, the groom, the cook, the woman, the maid, the old mother, etc., what kind of work to let the eldest lady do it herself.
This matter spread in the house, and gradually shrouded in a layer of extreme mystery, and there is a saying that is the most mysterious and logical.
The old man and the eldest lady are likely to have found some treasure somewhere, this matter is too secretive, and their own sons don't tell them, an old man and a delicate woman, the two of them secretly do it, holding shovels and hoes, and digging pits there every day.
But these things are just spreading, and everyone knows about the later things, the old man went mad and hung up, the eldest lady also died, and the two went into the coffin together.
After the butler finished speaking, a strange atmosphere spread in the hall, the flames in the red lantern flickered, and two long black shadows dragged out of the two coffins on the ground.
Zishan Daoist said to the housekeeper, "Is the inner room where your master often retreats?"
"Yes." The housekeeper hurriedly responded, he is now in a hurry to get rid of his involvement, and unexpected things are one after another, if the government really wants to study it carefully, he has to shed his skin if he doesn't die.
"Lead the way." Zishan Dao took the dust in his hand and strode in front of the meteor.
The crowd hastened to follow. At this time, it can be seen that Zishan Dao is really factional, and the more dangerous he is, the more calm and popular he is, and everyone can't help but look at it with his horse's head.
I followed slowly and leisurely, wanting to see how this matter was going and if the Dao Chief could find Old Man Fan.
It was only at this time that I began to think about the doubts I had just had. When I came to this place, I didn't feel right, it was very different from the bardo realm I had seen before.
Why do you say that, first, if Old Man Fan succeeds in breaking through and leaves from this bardo realm, then the world here will not exist. Now that I and Zishan Daoist can still stay here, it means that the old man has not escaped from this pass and is still trapped here, but he seems to be "dead", so where is he.
Second, judging from the current situation, Old Man Fan should have stayed in this world for a long time, and he has done a lot of things here, he gave birth to the eldest son, died of the original match, married the eldest wife, the second wife, and is still cultivating immortals here. This is not normal. As far as I know, the time to break through the first level of the bardo realm is only twenty-four hours, and the preparation period in front may be very long, for example, when I entered Chen Jian's bardo realm, Li Damin had already been in it for a year when the last level was reached. But Old Man Fan has already come in early, he has been here for so many years, he has married a wife and had children, and the eldest son has supported such a big man, let alone twenty years, can he stay in the bardo realm for so many years? It doesn't make sense.
There is one most important thing wrong, if Old Man Fan is breaking through the level, at least there will be a 24-hour countdown clock, this clock is not only seen by himself, but hung in the most eye-catching place, everyone can see. But I've been in for so long and haven't seen this watch.
The current situation is cloudy, the old man has neither succeeded in breaking the level, nor is he on the way to breaking the level, he is still dead...... What is the state of this person, all the details and rules are different from the bardo realm I have seen.
The more I thought about it, the more chills I felt, and I couldn't get around this circle.
Old Man Fan's death is also quite intriguing, when he cultivated immortals, he went mad and died, and the realm of bardo is related to this person's experience before his death, could it be that Old Man Fan was cultivating immortals when he was alive?
At this time, passing through the last courtyard, the butler opened the door, and inside was a very quiet small courtyard. The yard was too small, only a wooden house, and there was nothing peculiar about the ashes, and the environment was breathless, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that you couldn't even hear the birds.
"This is the place where the master cultivates and recuperates," the housekeeper introduced: "The eldest lady lives here, and no one can enter except me and Langzhong." ”
Daoist Zishan carefully looked at the surrounding environment, took out the compass from the blanket, and slowly walked to the middle of the courtyard to watch the pointer on it turn.
Looking at it, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the courtyard gate.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Zishan Dao Chang held the compass, walked over slowly, and looked around at the gate of the courtyard.
I stood behind the second wife, watched the Taoist chief turn around, and suddenly stood in front of the second wife, and the compass pointer pointed in the direction of the second wife.
The second wife's face changed drastically, "Dao Chief, what do you mean?" ”
Zishan Dao Chang was suspicious, frowned and said word by word: "This courtyard has a feminine thing!" ”
"What do you mean?" The eldest prince asked with two eyeballs.
"Yin things are things that are not yang," said Zishan Dao Chang, "and they are what you usually call 'ghosts.'" ”
"Ahh These people have blown up, "Where are they, where are they?" ”
Zishan Dao looked straight at the second wife.
