Chapter 5: The Bridge of Broken Souls (I)
The old woman opened the door of the western inner room, and for a moment, my face froze. I only felt that there was a cold aura inside, rushing to my face, although it was very weak, but it was still captured by me, I could sense the yin qi in this inner room, presumably the master naturally could, but the master's face did not change at all, it was still plain as usual. Under the leadership of the old woman, we entered the inner room one after another, the decoration of this house is very elegant, the walls are covered with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and there are a lot of rice paper and brushes on the desk.
Leaning against the head of the bed, is a bookshelf filled with all kinds of books.
It seems that the daughter of the Cai family is also a talented woman, and those calligraphy and paintings must be exactly what she painted. It seemed that seeing me looking at the calligraphy and paintings around me, Mr. Cai casually introduced a sentence to me: "My daughter likes to paint since she was a child, and our family's family background is not bad, and she can afford it, she is a little older, so she went to the Provincial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to study for a few years, and only recently came back." Speaking of his daughter, Mr. Cai's face was obviously full of pride.
Who is not proud of their children? Mr. Cai is naturally the same, just like ordinary parents, he is proud of his children. It's a pity that now we are not in the mood to admire these paintings, so we turned around, but saw that the master had already walked to the edge of the bed with the old woman. Looking at the woman lying on the bed. The head and foot of the bed were covered by a gauze tent, and the master and the old woman were in front of me, so I couldn't see what Mr. Cai's little daughter looked like.
But to be worthy of the richest man here, and to be so talented, his appearance should not be bad.
The old woman took out her daughter's hand, and the master immediately sat down on the chair next to the bed and took the pulse of Mr. Cai's daughter. After a long time, the master was still frowning and silent, Mr. Cai and his family were staring at the master, and I didn't know about it, the master rarely took the pulse for so long, could it be that Miss Cai's symptoms were really serious?
After a while, I saw a slight cold sweat on Master's forehead, and finally, his fingers were released instantly, and he turned his head to Miss Cai's mother and said, "Old man, light an oil lamp, remember, the bowl needs a new bowl, the oil must be the new oil of the first pot, and the wick must also be new cotton, go ahead!" ”
Hearing Master say this, I was shocked, and I secretly said that it was not good! Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "Master, is Miss Cai's soul lost?" Need a soul lamp to lure her back?! Hearing my words, Cai's mother, who was just about to turn around and go out, suddenly trembled, and looked at the master in unison with Mr. Cai, who sighed lightly and nodded slightly, which was a tacit acquiescence to my speculation.
Cai's mother immediately hid her face and cried bitterly, and Mr. Cai immediately helped Cai's mother out and prepared the materials for the oil lamp. At this moment, I had the opportunity to come to the edge of the bed, but before I could get closer, I was stopped by the master's hand, who said with a serious face: "Don't go near this bed, there can't be too many strangers in front of this bed!" With that, Master also stood up and walked out with me as he turned around.
The depression in my heart, let me take a look at what Miss Cai looks like, what's the matter? It wasn't until Master closed the door of the inner room that I asked, "Master, why can't there be strangers in front of that bed?" ”
"Because ......"
The master hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the busy old Mr. Cai and his wife, and then continued: "Because Miss Cai's soul is lost outside, but her heart is not broken, and her soul may come back at any time, so if she sees too many strangers, she will mistakenly think that it is not her home, if she delays the opportunity to return to her body, then she will really become a lonely ghost!" You must know that people's souls travel outside the body, just like people are dreaming, chaotic, can't remember so many things, can only rely on the subconscious to judge things, unless the wisdom is very high, and the concentration is very deep and high-level, after the soul leaves the body, it can come back safely! ”
If the soul of high cultivation is out of the body, it is not an ordinary out-of-body soul, but a yin god. Ordinary people's out-of-body souls are the same as dreams, what dreams are like, what the soul will see when they are out of the body, ordinary people's dreams are gray, or black, they can't see other colors clearly, and there is no other color. I don't know when the dream started, and I don't know where the dream woke up from the moment I woke up.
If you can awaken the Great Dao after the soul leaves the body, you will be able to attain the fruit, at least the fruit of the ghost immortal. But there are very few people who can awaken the Great Dao in that chaotic state. Of course, there are also ancestors who appear to wake up the people in their dreams, and that can be done, but everyone's fate is different, and it is impossible for everyone to go through that process. There are also those who have cultivated while alive in the world, in short, in one of the three thousand Dao Fa, no matter what kind of path you take or what kind of opportunities you experience, in the end, it is all ten thousand Dharma returning to the sect and returning to the Dao realm.
Just ......, "Master, why are you explaining this to me?" And explain it so clearly? ”
Master immediately glared at me and said, "What? Now I don't like to talk too much about being a teacher? You stinky boy, you've only been cultivating for a few days! I'm annoyed! ”
"No, hehe......"
I hurriedly waved my hands and changed the subject: "Mr. Cai has already made the oil lamp, Master, can you light it now?" ”
"Of course, the soul-attracting lamp can illuminate the way home for Miss Cai's soul, and when she sees the light, she will know where the direction of home is!" The master nodded, and then instructed Mr. Cai to light the oil lamp, and seemed to think of something again, and said: "Mr. Cai, you prepare some more rice, the rice needs to be medium cooked, just feed Ling Yan a small bowl every night, and within three days, she will wake up!" ”
Feeding her half-cooked rice is to keep her body from failing, and to give her soul the strength to travel in the underworld. However, Master has talked too much today, and even promised that Miss Cai will wake up within three days, but since Master said so, then maybe she will really wake up in three days. I know very well that Master doesn't just promise anything, let alone joke.
Mr. Cai asked Cai's mother to take the oil lamp to the inner room, and he stayed to thank him: "Mr. Yang is really a living immortal, our Cai family has your help, and we will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune!" When the little girl wakes up, let her kowtow to Mr. Yang to thank her, if Mr. Yang doesn't dislike it, it's better to let the little girl recognize you as her godfather, how about you recognize my little girl as your goddaughter? ”
"No, no, no, we are disciples of the Dao Sect, and we can't be too involved in the world!"
Unexpectedly, the master's expression suddenly became flustered, and he hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Although we Fu Zheng Sect can also live a secular life without too many rules and regulations, our master and apprentice still have a lot of important things to do, and it is inconvenient to get involved in too many mundane things. Admitting her daughter, but it is absolutely unacceptable, it is not that Yang dislikes, but that Yang does not have this blessing, Ling Yan is a talented woman, and she is a dragon and phoenix among people, for the sake of the future, it should not have anything to do with me, a mountain and wild Taoist! ”
I kept snickering with my head down, until Mr. Cai didn't seem to understand the decision to give up, and the matter was turned over. Later, when Mr. Cai also entered the inner room, and only Master and I were the only two people left in the hall, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master, it's really hard to imagine, what kind of scene it would be like if you had a goddaughter?" Hey...... But then again, Master, when you were young, did you really not have a time when you were a child? Maybe you really did something foolish at that time, and maybe you really have a daughter in reality......"
"Shut up!"
Before I could finish speaking, Master suddenly cut off my words with an angry voice, so frightened that I stretched out my tongue and almost bit it off. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, good guy, Li Ergou, Li Ergou, your guts are really fattened, you dare to make such a joke with Master. But when I saw Master staring at me with an angry face, I hurriedly lowered my head and didn't dare to let go of a fart. However, the master did not continue, and when I looked up inexplicably, I saw that the master had already walked to the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, opened the door of the hall, and looked up at the dim sky.
Belch...... I thought that Master would reprimand me again, but I never thought that Master would let me go this time. But looking back, I really said that I was bald, and I shouldn't have played this kind of joke with Master. But...... But why did Master react in this way? Could it be that what I just said evoked some memories in his heart? And these memories must be very distant, but the memories of his youth.
Master has traveled all over the country for the Maoshan faction for so many years, working tirelessly, never caring about his own gains and losses, at this moment, maybe let him give himself a little time to recall the memories that have been sealed for a long time. I stretched out my hand and grabbed my forehead, then tilted my head back in my chair and thought, what was Master like when he was young? What exactly did he go through? It would be nice if you could show me a look, tsk......
"Oh no! Something big is wrong......"
"Bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
At dawn, the sky will be bright, in Shajing Village, there are suddenly chaotic shouts, and there are people running around beating gongs, and in the silent morning, the quiet hall is instantly broken by the chaotic sound outside! Mr. Cai quickly ran out of the inner room and shouted urgently: "What's wrong, what's wrong?!" Master was also frowning at the moment, and after hearing Mr. Cai's words, Master turned to me and gave me a look.
I immediately jumped up consciously, dodged out of the hall, and went straight to the door! Could it be that Leng Xiaoshuang, the ghost of the wronged soul, is making trouble?!
