Volume 1 Country Gossip Chapter 25 The Visitor

Inside the canopy, Master carefully looked at "A Hundred Years of Catastrophe", while I sat at the mouth of the warehouse, looking at my own hands, unable to calm down for a long time.

The feeling that my body is controlled by another person, and I am like a bystander enjoying all the perceptions, is indescribable, and with the appearance of my uncle, my body seems to have begun to change, and there is a hidden force that seems to be running in my body, and I can faintly feel it.

This force is like a volcano, which may erupt at any time, and the result will be my annihilation or my rising?

At this moment, there is another person living in my body, Master's uncle, my uncle, a person who single-handedly caused the encounter in a ghost town, a person who makes people fear and awe as soon as he appears. This feeling is so uncomfortable that it is like swallowing a fly, and it is unknown what kind of existence this person is.

I feel that Master has too many things that Master has not told me, about being reincarnated as my Master and Ancestor, about the Hundred Years of Catastrophe, and other things that are more or less relevant to me.

Reincarnated, it's hard for me to believe that Uncle Shi will be like that ghost cultivator, treating me as a furnace and regaining my body, so as to be a human being in the world. He's so powerful that maybe it only takes one thought and I'll be someone else in a minute.

In addition, I can't understand the purpose of those two strangers stealing "A Hundred Years of Catastrophe", and they actually returned it to us in the end, so what is the point of them stealing?

But I got an answer to that question very quickly.

I only heard the master scold angrily and said, "A few pages are missing!" I knew I would have taken a closer look at it just now! ”

"Are these pages important?" Grandpa asked.

The master was silent for a long time and said, "I haven't seen it, and I don't know." ”

I was a little curious about the contents of the book, so I turned my head and asked Master, "Master, what does it say?" ”

Master didn't look at me, but was attracted by the contents of the book, but he answered me anyway: "This is a history that no one knows. ”

I turned around, stared straight at Master, and said, "Master, I want to take a look, I want to know what kind of person I was in my last life." ”

Master raised his head, looked at me quietly, suddenly shook his head, and said, "You can't look! What do you want to know so much? What did the previous life do to you? You just need to live well in this life. ”

"Then Master, what are you accepting me as an apprentice for!? Is it just to make me spend my life like a fool who knows nothing? I asked.

Master's face froze obviously, and he said, "Yun Yi, there are many things I can't tell you, I dare not tell you, it's not the time yet, when you should know, you will naturally know." ”

'Why!' Who the hell am I! I shouted.

I don't understand, and I don't like the feeling of being hidden.

"Because you are not strong enough now, once you know everything from your past life, you will no longer be you! You will be assimilated! You can't stop the invasion of his consciousness at all! Master's voice was loud and thunderous.

I suddenly fell into silence, I understood, just like brainwashing, once I recall my previous life, then Uncle Shi will be completely awakened, with his power, I will completely disappear from this world, only a shell remains, and the person who occupies this body has become Uncle Shi!

Master, you are protecting me.

I covered my head, feeling like my brain was in a mess, stirring in it, and I even began to wonder who I really was......

"Mortal idealism, listen to my quiet clouds, no dirt or purity, no desire and no fear, no boredom, no urgency, no suppression, no sorrow and no joy." The meditation mantra, like a melodious song, rippled through layers of waves and washed over my mind.

Slowly, I regained my clarity, and then Master spoke: "Yunyi, don't forget the meditation mantra that Master taught you, you are still young, don't think about it so much, everything is a kind of oppression, a big mountain, you know too much, you can't bear it, sooner or later it will collapse." ”

I knelt down to Master with a puff, my head bowed, tears rolling down my eyes, and I frantically vented my depressed feelings.

After more than ten seconds, I raised my head, and through my tears, a touch of perseverance shone through: "Master, start teaching me!" I'm going to get stronger! I don't want to be a frog at the bottom of a well, I want to be an eagle flying in the sky! ”

Silent and brief, the master spoke, "Good! But you have to remember that you have to learn anything step by step, and you have to be prepared to endure hardships! ”

I nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!" ”

But the melancholy is poisonous, and the ambition is not violated.

The body is haggard and examined, and the sun is dusk and sad.

Min Kongyu's lonely son, mourning the injustice of Yang.

The solitary female sings in the high valley, and the dove inhabits the mulberry elm.

The Xuan Xuan was lost in the hidden forest, and was abandoned and released far away.

The husband worked hard in Zhou Xingxi, and the virgin was angry and long-looking.

Shen is honest and reckless, and his feelings are pure and clean.

The light is in the sun and the moon, and the literature shines in the jade.

……

Lao Qian suddenly sang a leisurely fishing song, and listened carefully to the grievances of "Chu Ci Nine Sighs" (of course, this is what my grandfather told me), the song is tactful and melodious, rippling on the river, like a continuous autumn rain, sad and sad, but it contains hesitant ambition, listening to it makes people feel a lot of emotion.

In the early morning of the next day, Grandpa Godfather left early, at that time the family had not gotten up yet, only Master and I sent him, Grandpa Godfather said that he would rush back as soon as possible and bring Fang Xuan's evil soul to a high monk for reform, so he left first.

But before leaving, he handed me a thin book, just a few pages, which he had written overnight, about some of the basic Taoist exercises used to strengthen people's physique, and warned me to practice every day to strengthen my body.

After sending my godfather away, the master began to teach me the techniques of the master's door, of course, everything must start from the basic skills, reading and writing, and strengthening the body.

Shimen also has a unique solid method, combined with Taoist exercises, which has greatly changed and improved my physique.

The homework was divided into two classes, morning and evening, and every day the master would personally call me to get up and practice the exercises, which usually ended in three hours, and other than that, I was free.

And the master spent all his energy and time on making the Nian Crystal.

For the cutting and polishing of topaz, Master also went to the county seat to find a skilled processing workshop, and these two processes alone lasted for three days, and finally, Master brought back two pure and transparent azure gemstones, one large and one small, which were placed in the sun like a calm lake, which was amazingly beautiful.

And the big one of them has a little drop-shaped dark blue color in the center, which Master calls the heart of tears. The gem with a tearful heart can be said to be extremely rare, and it is an excellent material for making Nian Jing, and the master himself did not expect it, and said that he made a lot of money this time.

Because he wanted to teach me the master's techniques, the master stayed in my house all the time, and it was quite peaceful for a while.

More than half a month later, on January 21, a young man in a tunic and a young policeman who had come to detain Sun Stick appeared at my door, and Master took me out.

This time, the young policeman's attitude towards the master can be described as respectful, saluting a standard military salute, and then saying, "Master Sun, this is ......"

The master raised his hand to interrupt him, turned his head and asked the man in the tunic suit, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The man in the tunic looked left and right, and seemed to feel that there were too many people around him to talk, so the master took them to a port by the river.

Only then did he stand still, and he also saluted the master, and solemnly introduced himself: "Hello, I am Wang Bin from the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Branch of the Special Religious Affairs Bureau, and according to the order of the Song Bureau, I have two messages for me to bring to you. ”

The master paused for a second and asked tentatively, "Something happened to Sun Stick?" ”

Wang Bin was stunned for a moment, but immediately regained his calm expression and said, "That's right, Sun Stick died in prison, and we are investigating the cause of death." ”

Master seemed to have guessed when he saw them, so he seemed extraordinarily calm, while I looked incredulous, which was too strange.

Master then said, "This is your business, it has nothing to do with us, and what about another piece of news?" ”

Wang Bin took out a photo from his bag, the photo was very blurry, it seemed to be taken by the camera, but one of the people in it immediately caught my attention, because she was the old witch who cooperated with Sun Stick to turn the tiger out of the mountain that night and wanted to make me a little ghost.

Wang Bin asked, "Is the old witch you mentioned before this person?" ”

I hurriedly nodded yes.

Wang Bin glanced at me, and then continued: "We have found out the origin of this person, her name is Meng Huaiyu, she was originally a disciple of Maoshan, and later was expelled from the mountain for violating the rules of the door, and was included in the Chongming Sect. ”

What kind of sect is Chongmingism?

The master took a look at the photo, returned it to Wang Bin, and then said: "The efficiency of your Sect Affairs Bureau is not high, you have taken such a clear photo, and you can't even catch a person, and let Sun Stick such an important witness be killed." ”

Master's words were a little heart-wrenching, Wang Bin's face suddenly turned a little ugly, but he should know the relationship between Master and Song Lingcheng, so he didn't dare to contradict it, so he had to explain with a bitter face: "After all, we are a functional department, and a lot of work needs to be consulted by superiors before it can be implemented, and there is no way to do it slowly." Sun Stick's death is indeed a bit unexpected, we guess that there is a master behind the scenes who kills people and kills people, you also know that the strength at the bottom of the Sect Affairs Bureau is uneven, and it is really unbearable to encounter a powerful enemy. ”

The master waved his hand and said, "That's it, I know, you are busy with you." ”

When Wang Bin heard this, he saluted the master and turned to leave, but the young policeman still stood upright, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The master glared at him and asked if there was anything else.

The young policeman hurriedly said, "Hehe, hello master, I have a personal matter here that I would like you to help me see." ”

"Get out! I'm not available! Master scolded angrily.

The young policeman was so frightened that he slapped his flesh and left in a huff.

I asked Master if they had a request, so why didn't they ask.

The master rolled his eyes and said, "It's another troublesome matter, so I don't want to care about it." ”

After that, the master taught me not to be so kind-hearted, and I agreed to other people's requests stupidly, so as not to eat the mutton at that time, and make a fuss.

I'm ashamed, Master's nosy routine looks a little unsympathetic......

But after thinking about it, there are many people in this world, and they don't have to ask Master for help, so I was immediately relieved.

In the afternoon of the same day, there were two more old and young people in the house, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be Grandma Shen from the north of the village, her face was full of joy, holding a bag of things in one hand, holding a delicate-looking child in the other, looking at the small pigtails on the back of her head, as well as long eyelashes and big blinking eyes, it was a girl.

Grandma Shen is a frequent visitor to my house, she has been very good to me since I was born, and she never forgets me whenever she goes to the village to buy things.

I heard my grandmother mention that Grandma Shen has a granddaughter, but she is a mute, probably a developmental problem, and she can't speak by nature.

Seeing this, Grandma was full of surprise and hurriedly welcomed Grandma Shen into the house.

Seeing that there were outsiders in the house, Grandma Shen couldn't help but be stunned, "Yo, there are guests at home?" ”

Thinking that the master had lived in the village for a while, even if she hadn't seen it, she had heard of it, but when she recognized the master, she hurriedly changed her words, "Master Sun, good, good." ”

Master smiled and nodded in response.

After Grandma Shen sat down, she hurriedly handed the pocket in her hand to Grandma: "This is a snack for the child, my Xiaopu didn't invite you to the first birthday wine, so I'm embarrassed." In the past few days, the child has just returned to the countryside, so I will take her to see you. ”

"I'm so sorry to be so polite." Grandma accepted it with a smile.

Xiao Pu sat obediently on the bench, his legs dangling. I stared at the kid in a daze, and the kid stared at me, and suddenly he smiled, sweetly.

"Yunyi, call Grandma Shen." Grandma urged me, and I just said hello, and Grandma Shen laughed and her face was full of wrinkles.

Then I continued to look at this child curiously, Grandma Shen is my grandmother's cousin, and her son calls my father cousin, so this child should be regarded as my distant cousin.

"What's this child's name and how old is he?" Grandma sat next to Grandma Shen and chatted.

The Master was reading the book and listening quietly.

"Xiao Pu, Puyu's Pu, is five years old this year, because of premature birth, the doctor checked out and said that there was a problem with the child's pronunciation system, and he couldn't open his mouth in the future." Grandma Shen said with a sigh.

"Well, the ears are fine." Grandma sighed in harmony.

"The ears are good, nothing is wrong."

"That's fine."

"So the little couple plans to have another one, preferably a boy, and they will be fined with some money." In the countryside, the patriarchal ideology is still relatively serious, not to mention that Xiao Pu is a mute, talking about this, I can't help but feel some sympathy for Xiao Pu.

"Did Ah He come back to see you?" Grandma then asked, Ah He is the son of Grandma Shen, formerly known as Xiao Jianhe, who opened a clothing store outside, as far as I know, the two are very affectionate, but they are very busy with work, and they wanted to take Grandma Shen to the city to enjoy happiness, but Grandma Shen insisted on guarding her hometown and her wife, and was unwilling to go.

"I come back occasionally, both of us are busy, and it's rare to come back, but they send me money every month, and my life is pretty good." Grandma Shen replied with a smile, but she was inexplicably a little bitter, her wife died early, and she was guarding the old house alone, lonely and pitiful.

"No matter how busy Ah He is at work, he has to take the time to come back to see you, how uncomfortable you are living alone." Grandma blamed Uncle Xiao.

"This doesn't bring Xiao Pu here," Grandma Shen smiled like a crescent moon every time she mentioned Xiao Pu, "Xiao Pu is here, I'm also busy these days, it's good." ”

I looked back at Master, but found that his expression was a little tangled and hesitant, but the afterglow always fell on Xiao Pu.

"Your Yunyi is fine, it's in the third grade." Grandma Shen shifted the conversation to me.

"It's good, it's very well-behaved, the old man and I are both baby." At the mention of me, my grandmother immediately smiled, but she did not mention the master's acceptance of apprentices, and I think grandma also knew that there was no need to talk about this.

"Let's just say, your Yunyi has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he will definitely have a future in the future." Grandma Shen smiled and touched my head.

Grandma Shen chatted a little, then got up and left, asking me to go to her house more often.

Grandma hurriedly followed and saved.

"No, just come and have a look." Grandma Shen refused with a smile, and walked out the door as she spoke. Xiao Pu's stupid gaze never left me until he disappeared behind the door.

"Pay more attention to your body!" Grandma was still sending Grandma Shen off, and kept admonishing her.

"Got it, don't send it, go back." As Grandma Shen was gone, her voice gradually faded away.

When Grandma came back, she opened the bag of snacks and looked at it, and couldn't help but say to herself, "It's so polite to bring so many things every time I come." ”

Then she turned back to me and said happily: "Yunyi, you see, Grandma Shen is so good to you, you have to thank others in the future." ”

"Oh, got it." I replied speechlessly.

When I turned around, I saw that the master had put down the book in his hand, twisted his beard, and thought thoughtfully.

"Master, what's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask him. Generally, his expression like this must be boring.

The master shook his head, and after a long time he faced me, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Is your village a blessed land or a curse?" ”

What did Master say in Shinto?

In the following days, the master was in a hurry to make Nian Jing, except for morning and evening classes, there was almost no time to take care of me, and I, by learning the solid method of the master and the Taoist exercises, my physical fitness has been rapidly improved, at least the old white cat next door has been unable to outrun me, and I have been caught by two heads in three days, and I have begun to suspect how sinister the outside world is.

Seeing the Spring Festival approaching on the 27th, Master finally completed the Nianjing in the early morning of the 26th, and handed me a piece of capsule-shaped, smooth and mirror-like azure Nianjing, which was pure and flawless, showing a blue gradient from the outside to the inside, getting deeper and deeper, until the deep blue of the tearful heart, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Just by looking at it, I could feel the charm of gem crystals.

In addition, Master also gave me a thread-bound book, which looks a little old, but it is well preserved and not damaged, and the cover is written in four big characters with chic Xingshu "Detailed Explanation of the First Technique".
