Chen Ting saw my frightened appearance, as if she had thought of something, reached out and wiped her mouth, found the blood foam, hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe it, and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you." ”

I came to my senses and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Do you feel like something dirty on your body? ”

Chen Ting shook her head and said that it was not in the way.

It was getting late, the sun was already setting, and the wind was getting stronger on the mountain, so I asked her to go back with me.

On the way, she almost fell, I hurriedly held on, the girl's body fragrance, can't help but make my heart ripple.

As soon as I returned to Chenwan, I saw Chen Sheng busy working, and the burning paper was blown everywhere by the wind, Chen Sheng said, I don't know why the wind also rose in the house just now, and the burning paper was blown out.

As soon as I heard it, it was estimated that it was the little thing that was causing trouble, so I learned from the "Yun Ji Fu Seal" and drew a few town house talismans, and I told Chen Sheng: "Stick these talismans at the door, and the dirty thing won't be able to enter." Even in the house, it does not dare to move. After that, I took the stack of folding books and went back to Songwan.

When I got home, I saw that my brother was also back and was eating, I thought that today was not a rest time, and now my brother is also in his third year of high school, and he rarely goes home, why is he coming back now.

When my brother was eating, he told his mother that there was a dead person in their middle school, and he was hit by a car and died at the school gate, so he stayed at home for a few nights.

I didn't listen carefully either, because now I wanted to see what was in that pile of papers. I quickly finished my meal and went to bed to watch.

The book was written by a Taoist priest named Liu Qing, and the front was a very orthodox account of his experience of encountering strange things, and there was a story in the back that attracted me.

Liu Qing was once invited over, he was a rich landlord, the landlord had a strange disease, and he had fish scales all over his body, Liu Qing cracked him, because he often ate fish roe, and he only ate fish roe, and the fish were thrown to feed the cat, so he offended the fish demon in the river and retributed him for growing fish scales.

After curing the landlord, because the killing karma was too heavy, and the fish scales grew, which damaged the yang energy, the landlord's yang life would become shorter, so the landlord wanted Liu Qing to increase his life, and he paid a lot of money.

Liu Qing means that it is okay to increase longevity, but it must be borrowed, which means that it is offset by other people's longevity.

A few days later, the landlord gave Liu Qing a few long-term workers, saying that he could borrow the lives of these people.

The next few pages, how to borrow Shou, were torn up, but judging from the later accounts, Liu Qing did get a lot of money.

When I was a child, I always thought that Taoist priests were the embodiment of justice, and Taoism was different from folk evil arts, all of which were ways to save people. I can't imagine that there is such a vicious forbidden technique.

The next day, I went to Daoist's Bay again, asked the master for willow leaves, and told the master about yesterday's events, and I wanted to get rid of the demon baby today.

The master didn't borrow it, saying that the little ghost was just resentful and couldn't be reincarnated and made trouble, and in case Chen Ting could give birth in the future, you would remove the little ghost and give birth to a dead baby.

I'm angry that he is really old-fashioned sometimes, no wonder he can't stay here, and the Taoist temple is not like the Taoist temple, and he can't do it big.

After that, I slipped into the study and picked up a copy of "The Nine Techniques of the Xuanbu", which was a book on exorcism, and then continued to take the folded book in the bookcase.

When I arrived at Chen Sheng's house at noon, I saw that there was no talisman I gave him on the door, and I asked angrily, "Do you not believe me because you see that I am young?" ”

Chen Sheng explained: "Little Taoist, how could I not believe you, I posted it all last night, but my daughter didn't want to, so she tore it all up again." ”

I rushed in to find Chen Ting, only to see her sitting at the table, embroidered on a pair of small cloth shoes.

I asked angrily, "Why did you tear up all the talismans I gave?" ”

Chen Ting stopped embroidering, turned her head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to hurt it, it's still so small." ”

I asked, "Are you going to give birth to it?" ”

Chen Ting shook her head and said, "It's impossible to be born." ”

Then she saw the book I was holding and asked, "What book is it today?" ”

"Exorcists."

Chen Ting looked at me, smiled quickly, took the book over, put it on the table, and said, "No need to exorcise ghosts, accompany me to sit on the mountain again." ”

In the afternoon, we sat on the bald mountain again, and Chen Ting asked me: "Little Taoist, you are still young and vigorous, always thinking about exorcism, in fact, you think, ghosts are all changed by people, and some ghosts are actually our relatives." ”

I thought to myself, you've probably been fooled by a ghost.

Chen Ting looked at me and smiled, and said, "It's good to be young, you sit with me." Then she pulled me to her side and rested her head on my shoulder. My hair was blown by the wind, caressing my neck and cheeks, tickling.

Many years later, my sister told me that a woman's greatest weapon is not beauty, but gentleness. Or my young and vigorous heart at that time was really melted by the tenderness of that moment.

Time passed quickly, the sun slowly sank in the west, I wanted to go down, Chen Ting said wait.

The sunset covered the town, and the wind caressed it gently, carrying the thatch not far away, and fell on our shoulders.

I really wonder, Chen Ting is actually so gentle, why would someone abandon her?

She hummed softly and said to me slowly, "Probably, this is the last sunset I've ever seen." It's so beautiful, I really don't want to leave. ”

I was surprised and asked, "You're not going to kill yourself, are you?" My master said that suicide is to go to hell, a thousand cuts. ”

Chen Ting leaned on my shoulder, shook her head, and said with a smile: "It's not suicide, in fact, I have a disease, acute leukemia, and the doctor said that gradually, I will lose my eyesight, and then gradually die." ”

I hurriedly said, "Now that medicine is so advanced, you will definitely be cured, and... ”

"And what?"

Actually, I wanted to say that the one I watched last night borrowed Yang Shou, but this is my secret, and I don't dare to say it at all, and I'm even more afraid that the master will know.

"It's nothing, the master said, good people will live a long life."

Chen Ting smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a good person, I slapped you twice the first time I saw you." And getting pregnant before marriage is not something that an innocent woman should do. ”

I shook my head and said, "You have your own troubles. ”

Chen Ting smiled and didn't speak again. Wait until the sun fades before we go down.

And this time, the demon baby didn't make any more trouble.

Maybe Chen Ting told it something.

The next day, I continued to steal books, and then came to Chen Wan, only to find that Chen Ting was really blind.

She heard my footsteps and asked, "Is it a little Taoist?" I nodded, but realized that she couldn't see at all, so I replied yes, but I couldn't help but cry a little.

Chen Ting held the small unembroidered shoes in her hand, and said that it was a pity that they were not embroidered when they were visible.

Then I led her up to Bald Mountain, and she couldn't see the view, but she felt that the direction of the sun was bright, so I described it to her. At that time, Chen Ting told me that she told her father everything about it, but she still didn't mention who the child's father was.

In the next few days, he went to Chen Wan to accompany Chen Ting during the day. Every time I see Chen Ting, I have a little expectation, expecting her to suddenly tell me that I can see that my condition is better, but it is just a miracle, and it has not happened.

I peeked at the codex records of Taoist Liu Qing at night, and at this time I already understood that just like Yin and Yang Taiji, there are not only Taoist techniques such as subduing demons and eliminating demons, but also Taoist techniques such as borrowing corpses to return souls.

The Tao is divided into yin and yang, and the yang conforms to the time of the day, subduing demons and defending the road, praying for blessings and avoiding disasters. Yin pursues selfish desires, blames disasters, and changes lives against the sky.

The dark Dao techniques in that codex have been torn off, and I really want to find a way to help Chen Ting continue her life.

A few days later, when I went to Chenwan at noon, I found that the door of Chen's house was locked, I was suddenly very scared, afraid that I would never see Chen Ting again, I asked the people around, and they all said that Chen Ting did not leave, and I thought of the bald mountain.

The wind on the mountain is very strong, it is almost winter, Chen Ting is sitting alone on the mound, wearing a white coat apron, Chen Ting heard my footsteps, smiled and asked, "Is it a little Taoist?" ”

As if she could really see me, I said yes and sat down next to her, the big white apron and head covered with white thatch, like white fluff, and I patted it off for her.

Chen Ting said: "Tomorrow, my father will take me outside, beat the child, and treat the disease well." So early in the morning, I asked my dad to bring it here, I wanted to blow the wind and smell the smell. ”

Holding back tears, I asked, "Then how do you wear an apron?" ”

"I can't see now, it's easy to fall, and when the time comes, my clothes will be dirty, and my parents will have to wash them."

I didn't speak, I just sat with her.

The mountain wind is still blowing, but tomorrow, there will be no more people sitting here, the girl who likes the scenery here.

Early the next morning, I went to Chenwan.

At that time, Chen Sheng had already prepared everything and was going to take Chen Ting away. When he saw me coming, he said to Chen Ting: "The little Taoist priest is here, say goodbye to him." ”

Chen Ting took out the casual listening from the pocket in front of her apron, handed it to me, and said, "Give it to you." ”

I took it, but I couldn't help it, and I started crying.

Chen Ting also shed tears and gently took me into her arms.

They finally left, and a month later, when they heard that Chen Ting had died of illness outside, they were cremated in the hospital outside and buried in the cemetery.

Later, I came to the bald mountain alone and cried.

That Walkman, which is still in the drawer of my house, the song she hummed, called "Those Flowers", is Pu Shu's first album, released in 1999, "I Go to 2000", but now the tape has lost its magnetism, and the sound is somewhat distorted.

It was the first time in my life that I felt the separation of life and death, and the first time I felt complete fear.

It is not the fear of ghosts and gods, but the fear of birth, old age, sickness and death, and the fear of fate.

At that time, I suddenly thought of the sentence in the Tao Te Ching: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs.

I thought that in the future, as time went by, my parents, my master, every loved one would die and leave me, until one day, I would die too.

However, I can't give up, I can't forget my feelings for them, I'm afraid of losing them, and I'm even more afraid of dying myself.

And the only thing that can stop all this from happening is to learn Taoism, change your life against the sky, and even pursue immortality.
