Chapter 6: Past and Present Lives

After Bai Huifeng fell into the world, she was a peasant girl in her first life, and she was favored by the rich man to marry home as a concubine when she was picking mulberry. She refused to have sex with the rich man, but always gazed at the sky and said sweet words to the air, and the rich man thought that she had committed adultery, and she was immersed in a pig's cage and died.

Before she died, her mind suddenly cleared, and she asked sadly in her heart: Third Senior Brother, why didn't you come to Fanchen to look for me? Did you forget me?

In the second life, she was an orphan girl who was adopted by a nun, and she lived with her master in the mountains to practice hard work. When the national teachers of the dynasty wantonly exterminated the Buddha under the banner of revitalizing the Taoist sect and expelling foreign teachers, they did not escape it. She denounced that the national teacher was not really sincere to the Tao and just wanted to seize power and hegemony, and she was burned at the stake and burned alive.

When she was burned by the flames, she cried out in her heart: Third Senior Brother, have you really forgotten me? How can you bear to see me tortured like this?

In the third life, she became the eldest princess of the protectorate. She assisted her younger brother to retain the crown prince and ascend the throne smoothly. But their sister and brother relented for a while, and did not kill the prince who was vying for the throne, but just demoted him to a desolate place to serve as the king, and as a result, the king of Fan colluded with the courtiers to rebel successfully. The emperor was assassinated, and she drank poisoned wine to save the lives of the people in her family.

The poisonous wine entered her intestines, and her internal organs were in severe pain, and she bled and shed tears like rain: Third Senior Brother, you really forgot me, if you have another chance to be a human being, I will not wait for you to come to me.

Fourth, she is the queen of the gate. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is a heroine who terrifies the enemy. Her father was scarred all his life, and he was still training recruits for the country in his old age, and her brother was also in the army for the country. When the foreign enemy invaded, the emperor named her brother as a general, let him go into battle to charge, and as soon as the war stopped, he was demoted to guard the pass, and guarded the border all the year round.

Under the treacherous tricks, most of the border defenders were old and weak, and they deducted military salaries and even incomplete weapons, and the foreign enemy became stronger and stronger, and finally the pass was in danger. His father's request for the imperial court to send troops to rescue him was refused, so the father and daughter had to bring the family Ding people to the rescue. But although they are bloody and valiant, how can they defeat the iron cavalry enemy? She was dismounted by a cold arrow and died when she was trampled on by the rebels.

At the moment of her out-of-body soul, she smiled bitterly and sighed: I have died the ugliest death in my life, right? This appearance of being trampled into a puddle of flesh and mud must not be seen by the third senior brother.

In the fifth life, she is the daughter of a hunter in the Savage Lands. She shoots arrows with great accuracy, and her people have abundant prey without starvation. The people respected her, but the sorcerers of the clan hated her because her prestige was higher than their own. She was distended by eating indigestible animal tendons, and the sorcerer said that she was evil, and forcibly disemboweled her on the grounds of relieving the evil spirit.

She was bound by rattans, and she was so sick that she could only resist the sinister wizard with the anger in her eyes, which of course did not change the outcome of her death. She thought indignantly: Third Senior Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't come to save me, I will become a doctor in the next life, so that the world will not die in vain due to ignorance.

In the seventh life, she is really a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world. She studied medicine with her father since she was a child, and she is still good at obstetrics and gynecology. The prince's concubines competed for favor among themselves, and one of the concubines was drugged so that the fetus was stillborn, and the concubine also died of illness due to miscarriage. Wang Ye was ridiculed for not governing the family strictly, and in order to save face, he insisted that she used the wrong fetal medicine to cause death.

She asked to enter the house to examine the body, and after she found out the truth, the real culprit who had been drugged suddenly died of poison. Obviously, the prince didn't want her family ugliness to be exposed, but he wanted to falsely accuse her of being a quack doctor and misleading people, and deliberately poisoned the witnesses. She was sentenced to death and beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market.

She looked at the people who spat at her and threw rotten leaves, and thought hatefully: How can I remember that I am a fairy who has fallen into the mortal dust when I am dying? What did I enter the mortal world for? These stupid mortals, if I had an afterlife, I would never be so kind again!

In the seventh life, she is the leader of the copycat female bandits! She is free-willed, she can go to the trouble for her brothers, or she can stand up for the poor, but she also has times when she is ferocious and kills innocents. She indulged in half of her life, and was attracted by her most relied on henchmen to break the village, and she also committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.

The wind was cold under the cliff, and she gritted her teeth and swore an oath: I turned out to be a mortal fairy, how could I trust others so stupidly? In the next life, you should read more poetry and books and be smarter.

In the eighth life, she is the lady of a scholarly family. She was full of talent and had nowhere to show it, but she was selected as a concubine in the palace because of her beauty. She has elegant manners and outstanding literary talents, but she does not want to be snubbed by the palace for her clever smile and coquettish words to cater to the emperor. She lived a lonely life with only complaints and sad songs, and died of hatred after only three years in the palace.

On the cold and rainy night of autumn, she was in a trance on the hospital bed and thought: I was rebuilt because of the third senior brother, did he really forget me? How would he feel if he saw me flirting with other men in the red dust?

In the ninth life, she is a fireworks woman in the Qinglou. She can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, playing and singing, and many princes and grandsons have spent a lot of money for her, but she is unwilling to show a smile for them. Her nobility angered a wealthy merchant who wanted to ransom her as a concubine, and he used the money to bribe the ruffians to disturb her garden and coax away her guests.

After a few times, she gradually became unpopular to appreciate her talent. When the old bustard saw that no one came to the door, he forced her to sell herself, but she refused to give in and stabbed her throat with scissors.

The sharp scissors pierced her throat, and when the blood splattered, her eyes were also full of blood: Third Senior Brother, if there is an afterlife, I don't expect you to come to save me! I don't want to sink in the red dust anymore, I want to have the supreme Dao method myself!

In the tenth life, she was the daughter of a small innkeeper. In the heavenly court, he had seen her miserable life in the ninth life, and he asked the emperor of heaven to enter the mortal world and ignite her to marry the immortal relationship.

"Isn't this the tenth life me?" Hu Xianxian suddenly woke up from his dream, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes.

At the same time, Cheng Haofeng, who was meditating in the hut, did not meditate, he thought eagerly in his heart: Seventh Senior Sister, our opportunity has finally arrived!

After getting up, Hu Xianxian washed his face with ice water and forced himself to get rid of the dream, but in a trance, all the scenes in the water were dreams.

She patted her face, she was going to ask that Cheng Haofeng, her previous nightmares were just horror clips, and she never had the real feeling of being like she had experienced herself, she thought that he did it with illusion.

Hu Xianxian dressed up and went downstairs and knocked on Cheng Haofeng's door, "Cheng Fengfeng, you get up early, I have something to ask you when you get to the lobby." “

As soon as she sat down, he arrived, and he glanced at her, "Miss Hu didn't sleep well last night?" “

She was furious when she heard it, "Of course I didn't sleep well! What heart do you have in peace? Tricking me like this? “

He was stunned, "I'm playing tricks on you?" I saw that your face was blue, and you greeted you with black circles in your eyes, how can you be so indiscriminately harsh? “

She touched her face and said suspiciously, "Didn't you deliberately use illusions to make me wake up from nightmares?" I wouldn't have been so emaciated even if I had nightmares. “

He looked at her seriously and said, "You will have nightmares on the days from the twenty-eighth to the fifth day of the new month?" You should follow me in your path, or you will never know why. “

She nodded, "You're right, it's a nightmare on a moonless night." I also understand that my fate is like a pair of invisible hands in control, but I really have to guard Hongbin Tower, unless my father and brother can come back to support this family. “

Cheng Haofeng shook his head lightly and persuaded her: "You have too much attachment to the world, this can't make your relatives live well, but will bring disaster to them." You weren't supposed to belong to this world, don't you think your dreams are your past lives? “

She sighed and said, "I have brought disaster upon them, and I must make amends." If you really want to be a god, you must have a way. My mind is messing up at this moment, and I really want to believe that you are a god. “

When the two were gossiping, Sanhua yawned and walked over, and when she saw them sitting at the same table, she said "yo", "What are you guys hooking up with here early in the morning?" “

Hu Xianxian took a bite of her, "Don't chew the root of your tongue." Hurry up and get your breakfast ready, there's still a lot of work to do today. “

Cheng Haofeng saw that she was going to go away and get busy, so he pulled her, "Do you really want me to play tricks?" “

She asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say yes?" Don't cheat. “

Before he could answer, Sanhua came out with a plate of pickles and saw him pulling her, "Hey, it's all holding hands." “

Hu Xianxian blushed and shook off his hand, and said, "If you can make Hongbin Mansion recreate the scene of guests overflowing, I can trust you and cultivate with you." As I said, I don't change the hexagram. “

He nodded, "How old are you this year?" “

Hu Xianxian replied, "Twenty years old, can't you cultivate the Tao when you're old?"

Before he could say anything, Sanhua rushed to shout again, "She's twenty-one!" She loves to say that she is small. Take me, I'm only nineteen. “

Hu Xianxian pulled Sanhua's shoulder, "Come and see if the porridge is boiled." “

He sneered and said to him, "I only turned 21st on the 7th day of the lunar month, and this is only the 29th day of August, and I am not lying." “

He said worriedly, "Your time is running out, I thought there were three years to spare, but with your nightmares, you won't live past the age of twenty-two." “

She was stunned for a moment, and then "baba" a few times, "I'm really confused, what are you talking about early in the morning?" Let you curse me like this. I've spit out all the mold, don't blame me for touching the mold yourself. “

After she finished speaking, she went upstairs to serve her mother to freshen up, and then helped her mother downstairs to have breakfast.

There are red silk flowers on both sides of the plaque, and it is written on the wall next to the door: melon seeds, tea, and water are eaten and drunk at will, and only the money for wine and food and the hotel is accepted.

The most conspicuous thing is that the wooden sign at the door is written by the third uncle and then asked someone to fill in the big characters with gold paint: Tianfang Kingdom has been studying for many years The master of tricks - the dream star Cheng Fengfeng is here to perform!

Especially the seven big characters of "Dream New Star Cheng Fengfeng" with red paint are eye-catching, so that people don't want to look at them and jump into their eyes.

The people in Hongbin Building were all standing at the door with great expectations, and even Aunt Hu was supported by her daughter and stood with them with a smile. It's a pity that after waiting for almost an hour, I only saw people coming and going, but I didn't see a single one entering the store.

Hu Xianxian saw that her mother's face was a little pale, so she said, "Mother, I'll help you go upstairs to rest." “

Aunt Hu did have sore legs and weak feet, but it was not good to rest first, she was worried that she would make the guys discouraged if she rested, so she insisted and said: "My eyes are not good, my body bones are okay, what are you resting?" The third uncle is still standing. “

When she said this, the third uncle coughed, "I don't want to stand, cough...... I'm so old......"

Hu Xianxian hurriedly said, "Third uncle, you still go into the house and sit." Mother, do you want to go upstairs and stay, I'll move a chair and sit here, okay? “

Aunt Hu nodded, she couldn't see but she could hear it, no customer had come to the door for so long, she asked her daughter: "Xianxian, it's been like this all year round?" “

When the chef saw that Hu Xianxian was going to move the chair, he agreed: "There are always a few people, and today is the least." “

Hu Xianxian moved a chair over and comforted her mother in a warm voice: "Mother, don't bother, it's still early this day." “

The second fat yawned and muttered: "In the past, although there are no big merchants, there are always a few salt sellers who come to rest and eat." Why didn't you even come to the door today? “

Aunt Hu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't say some crooked things, people who open shops and do business must be kind, angry with people, and can't offend ghosts and gods." “

Sanhua laughed "sneering", "There is no ghost in the first place." She stretched, "No one anyway, I'll go out for a walk." “

Hu Xianxian glanced at her, "Where are you going?" Go to the study school on Dongfu Street to see those scholars? “

Sanhua's face turned red when she was said, and she jumped to her feet in a hurry, "Who is going to see the scholar?" Am I the kind of person who gets nymphomaniac? People go to listen to Mr. read poetry and books, and if they can't recognize the words, they just listen to them. “

They all laughed, but Cheng Haofeng said solemnly: "It is a very meritorious thing to admire the virtuous writings of the saints, although she is illiterate, she can listen to the teachings and increase her wisdom." “

When Sanhua heard what he said, she squeezed her eyebrows and smiled at Hu Xianxian, "Did you hear that?" He's praising me. “

The third uncle smiled dryly and said, "He didn't understand what you were talking about, I noticed that he had been inspecting the surrounding terrain." “

The second fat hurriedly asked Cheng Haofeng: "Are you looking at the feng shui of Hongbin Building?" Is it because the feng shui here is not good, so the business is deserted? “

Hu Xianxian saw that Cheng Haofeng was still watching left and right, and glared at Erfat, "What kind of feng shui can he know if he is a trickster?" I'll go and be quiet and think of a way to get customers, and you all go back to the house to rest. She said she would go in by herself.

Cheng Haofeng looked at her back and said: "Always stealing words, ordinary people just don't know etiquette and have no self-cultivation." “

Hu Xianxian turned around suddenly, her mouth pursed and she wanted to return him with a cold remark. It seemed that he was waiting for her to speak, and then he could take the opportunity to teach her a sinister expression, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth. She didn't bother to talk to him as fast as she could, and went into the house and upstairs to find a way to solicit customers.

They all went into the room to sit, and the second fat sat down next to Cheng Haofeng and whispered: "Dao Chief, don't care what Miss says, I believe that you have Taoism." Please tell me, is there a problem with the feng shui of this Hongbin Building? “

Cheng Haofeng rubbed his nose before he said slowly: "Hongbin Building is located in Nantong Street, which is an auxiliary street of Nanzheng Street. This Nanzheng Street is the main traffic artery, and it is also the place where the post house and the provincial capital are located, which is the prosperous place where merchants gather. Nantong Street, an auxiliary street of Nanzheng Street, is also very prosperous, and there is a mule and horse market here, so there should be many merchants staying in the hotel to eat. “

Er Fat sighed when he heard it, "We all know what you said, I'm asking if Hongbin Lou's feng shui is good?" “

Cheng Haofeng glanced at him, "Okay." “

The third uncle stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course." When my cousin, that is, Xianxian's grandfather, was there, there were many dignitaries and nobles who refused to live in the post house of the official mansion, so they named them to live in Hongbin Building. Xianxian had a good business when her father was in charge, if it weren't for that year, alas, ......"

Speaking of what happened back then, Aunt Hu burst into tears, "It's all because I was useless, and let the Che family occupy half of the restaurant...... Later, I had a falling out with the owner of Jingyang Amber Brew, and as soon as the amber brewed goods were cut off, the wine of those small workshops was sour if it was not spicy, how could the guests be satisfied? Alas...... I'm really useless, and I've been blind for the past two years, and I've become even more waste......"

The third uncle wanted to talk about the glorious past of Hongbin Building, but unexpectedly made Aunt Hu sad, and said embarrassedly: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, how can I blame you?" You have suffered bad luck one after another as a woman, and it is not easy for you to survive until now. “

Sanhua couldn't sit still, and dangled in the lobby, "There are no customers coming to the door, why don't there be neighbors to see the excitement?" “

Erpang frowned and looked at the street, there were people coming and going on the street, but no one walked into the Hongbin Building, "That's it, this Lingzhou City is not like the capital where there are rare things every day." This trick artist from the country should attract many people to see the freshness. Also, why don't those aunts and sisters-in-law who love to be cheap eat melon seeds for nothing? “

The big cow, who had been silent, buzzed and said, "Someone is coming." “

Erpang got up with a smile on his face and prepared to greet the guests, but he didn't know that it was the guy from the Hongzhen Kee Restaurant next door.

The guy smiled outside the door and said, "You also invited artists to help the fun?" What are you doing? Don't be a ghost show, right? ”

"It's for you little devil!" Hu Xianxian changed his clothes and walked downstairs, and when he saw his old rival's guy talking to people, he scolded him coldly.

As soon as the guy saw Hu Xianxian, he called "Mom" and ran away.
