13. Good and evil do not limit the mortal world
At the age of four, he shouldn't remember much of the past, not to mention that when the senior monk came to Meng's mansion, Meng Nanjun was still confused because of his fright and high fever, and he didn't know anything about what he said and did.
The Meng family is a century-old family, and there is no rule of feng shui that men are not passed on to women, because Meng Nanjun has had to learn family inheritance since he was a child, in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her parents have always been strict with her, even when she was still young, they never let her slack off, and the only thing that is easier in her studies since she studied is the two years from the age of four to six.
Her father said that she had been injured by a serious illness and had to be taken care of, so she was exempted from learning about feng shui, but when she was six years old, her mother took her to move out of the Meng family's mansion in the middle of the imperial capital city, and told her the whole story.
"Maybe as your father said, you are not very old now, and it is useless for you to know too many things except to increase your troubles, and I also know that it is not easy to turn the situation around on your own, but as a descendant of my Meng family, I must not even have this responsibility."
At that time, I was ignorant, and I only felt that the burden of the revival family seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but my mother didn't care whether she could bear it, and she still had that faint look.
"After death, the body returns to dust, and the soul should also be classified into the path of reincarnation, but there are always some fish that slip through the net, trying to escape from reincarnation, and in the long run, they will turn into evil ghosts and people." She said it word by word, so that Meng Nanjun, who had lived a carefree life for two years, recalled the elves and ghosts that had appeared in front of her.
"Are you afraid?" She asked.
How can you not be afraid?
Even with her father and mother by her side, it is difficult for most ghosts to get close, but those hideous faces are very clear, so she can't escape.
But Meng Nanjun still stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, "Don't be afraid." ”
"Why?"
Where can a six-year-old have a very rigorous thinking? Meng Nanjun thought for a while, but only replied in a childish voice: "There are still good and evil people, and ghosts naturally have them. And my father said before that I am a rare genius in the Meng family for a hundred years, and I don't want to give up the yin and yang eyes that many people can't ask for. ”
Xu saw her determination, and Mrs. Meng finally smiled.
This smile is like the melting of ice and snow in spring, and the fragrance is full in an instant.
"The future of the Meng family will be handed over to you."
The little man nodded solemnly, this expectation has been hidden in his heart for more than ten years with responsibility, until now in retrospect, what Meng Nanjun is afraid of is not those ghosts who often accompany the deep side, but whether he can live up to expectations.
"Since the senior monk is the abbot's old man, he must also know that even if I don't provoke some things, they will eventually find me, just because I am a descendant of the Meng family. Take the big demon that my father and mother teamed up to subdue twenty years ago, didn't he escape from his great-grandfather, hid and cultivated in the mountains, and took revenge on my father and mother? Meng Nanjun smiled when he said this, "Since I don't enter this path, they won't let me go, it's better to concentrate on cultivation and wait for the enemy to come to the door head-on, so as not to fall behind." ”
The Buddha beads in the abbot's hand no longer rotated, obviously attracted by Meng Nanjun to seven or eight points of mind, because he no longer used two minds, but Meng Nanjun did not feel embarrassed at all, "What's more, my father once said that this yin and yang eyes are blessed by God, including him and my mother, I don't know how many people are envious?" ”
"But you have to admit that those inhuman things are eyeing you, not only because you are in such a family, but also because you can see them, which will give you an extra layer of connection."
"So what?" Meng Nanjun's tone was steady, and she really had a little bit of Mrs. Meng's cold appearance, "When I was four years old, I saw a woman with gentle eyebrows in my father's friend's house, even if she knew that she had not done anything evil in her life and that she could have a good place to be reincarnated, she still stayed in the world, adding a big mistake to her life, just because that person was most afraid of loneliness; When I was seven years old, I once saw a rabbit demon in the forest who had only cultivated with great difficulty, and even though he was still shallow, he still fought to the death with the fierce beasts in the mountains every day, and finally dragged them into a man-made trap, because the hunter had no intention of saving his life from the tiger's mouth; When I was twelve years old, I went out with my father and mother, and when I got lost, I met a demonic Taoist master, who invaded his soul and made him unable to control himself, and before he completely lost his mind, he resolutely chose to kill himself, just because he had the Tao in his heart and did not allow him to harm the innocent. ”
The abbot has practiced for many years, and has experienced a lot of good and evil in this world, so he didn't have much emotion about it, but he wondered why she gave a lot of examples, and Meng Nanjun didn't sell it to him, and said bluntly: "Ghosts, goblins, monsters, everything is terrifying in people's hearts, but just as there are not only good people and no evil people in the world, demons and monsters are also good and bad, if they approach me because of curiosity, then I turn a blind eye to it, just let them look at it, if they want to harm me, then they will see the truth, I didn't believe that I had fought them. ”
Meng Nanjun came over today, originally wanting to ask about Xu Yan's old things, but the abbot in front of her obviously wanted to persuade her to be an ordinary person, and he understood that he couldn't ask anything, so he immediately got up and prepared to leave, but in the end he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"The plaque given to my great-grandfather during the reign of Emperor Yuan has been hanging for so many years, which can be said to have witnessed the heyday of the Meng family, and now because of my own fault, it is sealed in the dust at the bottom of the dark box, as if to show the decline of the Meng family, this is the status quo that I must change, and it is also the responsibility I should bear. What's more, the senior monk also said at the beginning that the yin and yang eyes are a blessing for me, and the reason why they will bring disasters is because I can't afford it. But if it's a good thing, why should I give it up? Now that I'm no longer a helpless child, it should be my benefit, and I should use it thoroughly. ”
Meng Nanjun bowed to him as he spoke, compared to Gong Jing when he came, he obviously had a little bit of humility and arrogance at this time, but the abbot saw that she was leaving, but he also asked with interest: "Don't want to know about the Xu family?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Meng Nanjun's dashing steps to leave suddenly stopped, and when he turned around, he smiled with crooked eyebrows, "If the abbot is willing to say, the younger generation will naturally listen to it." ”
Seeing her like this, the elder shook his head a little amusedly, then put the Buddha beads aside, and got up and went to the shelf where the books were kept.
"Since the old man resigned from the abbot's affairs, he has been living in seclusion here and does not ask about the world, it stands to reason that no matter who meets him, he should refuse, but the ancestor of the Xu family once gave the old man a gift of medicine, and the second miss of the Xu family handed a message to the old man on this ground, and the old man had to see her." As he spoke, the elder had already taken out a boxy box from the dark compartment and put it on the bookcase, "I guess you can also guess why she came to find Lao Gao, and Lao Gao will not sell this pass with you, the second miss of the Xu family asked about the cause of her sister's death, she didn't believe what she said about her family and her death in the lake." ”
Meng Nanjun knew that she shouldn't interrupt the elders, but when the elders spoke, she listened quietly, but when the elders opened the box, revealing a small sachet inside, she was horrified in her heart.
"This sachet was embroidered by the eldest lady of the Xu family before her death, saying that she should give it to her beloved in the future, and when she was buried, everything she had before her death was buried in the coffin with her, only this sachet was leaked in the house."
Because the elder handed the square box to her, Meng Nanjun simply took the sachet in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then put it into the square box after taking a look, and then talked about the doubts in his heart.
"The Xu family is not a very wealthy family, Xu Yan died, but she buried her things before her death, and she didn't say a word about her past, obviously not as simple as being afraid of seeing things and thinking about people. And I also have an intersection with that female ghost, she has already had a beloved, how can this sachet still stay in the house? ”
At first, I heard her say that she had seen Xu Yan, but the elder didn't expect much from her in the end, and at this time, she was a little surprised to see that she really understood, but she still replied to her: "Maybe I didn't have time to send it out." ”
Meng Nanjun shook his head, "Only this sachet was left, I don't believe it's just that the next person didn't intend to do it, not to mention that I saw the exact same sachet a few days ago, on the body of a friend of mine, and she is living with Xu Yan's loved one before her death." ”
The fog in front of them became heavier and heavier, and both of them couldn't help but think deeply, or Meng Nanjun couldn't help but ask the elder more.
The elder didn't want to take care of this matter, and he didn't even want Xu Wanzhou to be involved, so he persuaded her to give up several times, but Meng Nanjun might be able to help, so he still made a point or two after thinking about it.
"There is a cemetery called Qingxi on the outskirts of the city, where the eldest lady of the Xu family was buried, if you really want to know more, it is better to go there and have a look."
Meng Nanjun was taken aback when he heard this, "Elder Mo didn't want me to rob people's tombs, this is not a good thing." ”
Originally, the atmosphere was still a little dull, but it was softened a lot by Meng Nanjun's words, and the elder shook his head helplessly, and only said: "You who practice the art of feng shui, do you really have to start digging the tomb?" What's more, when the eldest lady of the Xu family was buried in the tomb, the resentment had not disappeared, it was the body of a powerful ghost refined in the Qingxi cemetery, and you will always gain something from your past trip. ”
After some mention by the elder, Meng Nanjun was ready to go to Qingxi Cemetery immediately, but when he left, he suddenly asked a little strangely: "Since the elder has calculated so much, why don't you take action yourself, but prepare to calm things down?" ”
The elder just sighed, "The old man has cultivated to this point, and it is no longer good to interfere with the numerology of others. ”
