Chapter 15: The Five Decays of Heaven and Man

When I woke up again, the sun was over the horizon.

The strange old man and his grandson have long since disappeared.

Little Hanako slept on a clump of licorice, if it weren't for the absence of rhubarb and this rotten sore, Little Hanako really thought that last night's incident was a dream.

Remembering the old man's hideous face and vicious warning, Hanako hurriedly crawled around.

He was afraid that he would be found by the old man again, and he did not dare to commit suicide to die.

So every once in a while, he changed places.,It's a real little little Hanako.。

Recently, when he arrived in this ancient town, he heard that there was a ruined temple haunted in the ancient town, and no one dared to go there, so he simply regarded this place as a place to stay.

After Xiao Hanako finished speaking, she looked at me and Lao Qian with dripping eyes.

For fear that we don't believe it, he added: "This rotten sore is also strange, it will converge a little in the early morning, and the later the time, the worse the rotten, you see that I am still a little human, and the moon will come out for a while, and there is no good skin on the top and bottom of the body, and it hurts my heart, I screamed because of the pain, and the people around the broken temple thought that the ghost was calling!" ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to show us.

Without waiting for us to speak, he asked, "Hey! You want this green bottle, don't you? ”

As he spoke, he tossed the soul bottle and checked it.

I hurriedly said, "Hey! Give it to me! It's no joke to break it for a while. ”

Xiao called Hanako to hold the soul bottle firmly in his hand, and said: "This green bottle is heavy, and I know that it is not a cheap product as soon as I get started." Pretty valuable, right? ”

Nonsense!?

Is that called valuable?

That's pretty valuable.

Not to mention that the green bottle is carved from a whole piece of fine green jade, and it also contains a pair of god money green worms that can turn money into flying back and forth?

Not only is it valuable, it is simply the ancestor of money.

"If you want me to give you back the bottle, it's okay."

When Xiao Hanako saw that I looked nervous, she immediately knew that the soul bottle was very important to us, and pointed to Lao Qian and said, "You must heal the rotten sores on my body and make me look like a normal person." ”

Without even thinking about it, the master agreed: "Okay! You give me back the soul bottle first. ”

Xiao called Hanako but was very chicken thief, and took the soul bottle into his arms: "Don't give it, you can heal the rotten sores on my body first." What if I return the bottle to you and you fool me? ”

Old Qian laughed: "You little rabbit, you have thoughts!" ”

Xiao called Hanako with a natural expression: "I've been called Hanako for almost ten years, if I'm not smart, I don't know how many beatings I will take!" You say, can you heal my rotten sores? ”

"Of course you can."

Lao Qian didn't brag: "In addition to learning the Tao, I am also a good doctor, and your rotten sores are not caused by diseases in the first place, and the combination of Taoism and medical skills cannot be cured at all." Count you kid lucky, you met me, change anyone, your rotten sores are cured, it's hard to relax! ”

"Really?"

Xiao Hanako was skeptical, and said tentatively: "Then tell me, what kind of disease do I have?" Ah no, what kind of evil did you hit? ”

The master turned his face to look at me: "Kunning, what do you say?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I looked Xiao Huazi up and down again: "Listening to what Xiao Huazi just said, it is obvious that the strange old man and him are changing their skins, and their techniques and thoughts are very similar to Jiangbei livestock, and the disciple guesses that Jiangbei Liumen used the method of making animals to change the skin of the two of them. ”

The master pinched his beard thoughtfully.

The little flower child looked at me curiously, and her eyes flashed: "Little sister, what is the creation of animals?" ”

"As the name suggests, it is to turn people into animals."

Fortunately, I usually read a lot of books, and I can also ask him casually: "This animal is also called Tuoba, and it was once prosperous in the Jiangbei area." Pu Songling wrote in the book "Strange Tales from Liaozhai": The art of obscurity is not the same. Or cast bait and feed it, then people will be confused and go away. ”

It is said that a person with a bad mind seduces the children away with a piece of drugged delicacies and sells them as cattle and sheep.

In the ancient Yangzhou Hotel, a person came down under the scorching sun, led five lambs to the door of the hotel, and told the shopkeepers not to feed the sheep with water, and walked away after speaking. Who knew that the five lambs were kicking and screaming at the door of the hotel, Xiao Er couldn't stand it and personally brought a basin of water to feed the lambs to drink, and the five lambs rolled on the ground, and after a burst of dust, they became five children. The shopkeeper hurriedly reported to the official, and the government arrested the sheep driver, only to know that he was a villain who knew how to make animals, and he specially relied on this to abduct children and turn them into cattle and sheep and sell them.

The official at that time heard that this was a demon and ordered him to be hanged.

After I finished hanging the bookbag, I called Hanako but listened to it with relish and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the strange old man who harmed me used this method to turn his grandson into a yellow dog?" ”

Master said, "That's right, he turned his grandson into a yellow dog, and he used the same method of making animals to change your skin. But do you know why he changed your skin? Or do you know what your current phenomenon is called? ”

Xiao Hanako looked depressed: "I know what else I asked you for?" ”

"Master,"

As soon as I saw Lao Qian's appearance, I knew that he was confident, and I had never seen this phenomenon, so I hurriedly asked, "Master, why did Xiao Hanako become like this?" ”

Old Qian glanced at me: "Do you know what the five decays of heaven and man are?" ”

When the little flower child heard this, her eyes were confused, revealing who am I? Where am I? What I'm doing: "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”

I was very surprised, and pointed to the little flower child: "Master, you said that this kid is caused by the five decays of heaven and man?" ”

Old Qian nodded.

But the second monk was confused: "Isn't the five decays of heaven and man only available to immortals?" ”

There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: even if the gods in the heavens, the immortal celestials, the life span is not endless, no matter how long they live, there will be a time to die, and when that day comes, there will be some debilitating characteristics in the celestial people, and the Buddhists call these characteristics the five decays of heaven and man.

The five decays of heaven and man are divided into the small five decays and the major five decays.

The little five decay fingers: the music is not sound, the body light is faint, the bath is in the water, the situation is reluctant, and the body is tired and the eyes are momentary.

The big five decay fingers: dirty clothes, wilted heads, sweaty armpits, stinky bodies, and unhappy seats.

"The dirt on the clothes of the little Hanako is stacked on top of each other, and if you stick it, you have to take a bath, and there are lumps of rotten sores on the head, and the smell is stinking and it is not your own human skin, isn't it the appearance of the Great Five Decays?"

"But Master,"

I don't understand more and more: "Only immortals can decay heaven and man, could it be that this little is called Hanako?" Not human? ”

"Where do you want to go?"

Master patted me in front of me and explained, "In fact, not only immortals, but also people have the phenomenon of five decays. But it's not an ordinary person, it's a cultivator. If a person in the Dao Sect wants to become an immortal, he must go through the five decays of heaven and man, and after passing through these five phenomena, he can soar in the daytime. ”

I suddenly realized: "I understand Master, that is, immortals will become mortals through the five decays of heaven and man, and mortals will become immortals after the five decays of heaven and man." This is really a heavenly person who wants to be vulgar, and an earthly person who wants to become an immortal! ”

"That's what it means, but it's a bit unreasonable,"

Master added, "The immortals are in pleasure or meditation every day, and basically do not suffer any suffering. But the blessings enjoyed are also used up in the day when they are exhausted. When the five decays of heaven and man appear, it is the beginning of the heavenly blessings to be enjoyed and to fall. ”

They are reduced to rebirths, ghosts, and hell according to their karma or by falling into the three evil realms.

Or turn around as an adult.

At this time, they are in pain and trouble.

In particular, they have supernatural powers and know where they are going to fall, but you can imagine how helpless they are at this time, and they do not fall out of their own will at all.

"But mortals are different after the five decays of heaven and man,"

Lao Qian pointed to Xiao Huazi and said: "The sign of feathering into immortals, although it is painful, who doesn't enjoy themselves?" ”

Hanako looked down at herself, with an incredulous expression: "I... I'm going to become an immortal?! ”

"Humph!"

Lao Qian sneered: "It's beautiful to think!" You haven't gone through cultivation, you don't even know the ordinary Taoism, and you're just making wedding dresses for others with this skin! ”

I remembered that the little Hanako just said that the strange old man changed the skin with the little Hanako by making animals, and this body was covered with rotten sores and smelling skin, which was originally the blame for the old man: "Master, that means that the strange old man is going to become an immortal?" Then why did he exchange the skin for someone else? ”

If one day you have passed the five decays of heaven and man, isn't it someone else who becomes an immortal?

"It's not that easy!"

Lao Qian sighed with emotion: "The immortal road is slim, and there are only a handful of people who have risen day by day since ancient times. Many people died during the five decays of heaven and man, where is it so easy to become immortals? Even if the strange old man was ruthless, he was really a genius who came up with this method. ”

I listened to how the master praised the old man, and hurriedly asked what to say.

The master pointed to the little Hanako: "Changing your own skin to others is equivalent to letting others suffer the painful fruits of the five decays of heaven and man, and you don't have to bear it yourself. Little Hanako is going to die.,It's really a little Hanako who died.,Blame the old man for nothing.,Don't say anything about picking up a life in vain.,You can start all over again.。 ”

The so-called borrowing other people's lives to cultivate their own immortals is talking about the strange old man who has lost all his yin virtues, right?

When Xiao Hanako heard this, she was so angry that she almost dropped the soul bottle in her hand: "his uncle!" Play with the master's life! What is being a master? Mick! ”

A mantra called Hanako doesn't know where to learn.,A mouthful of a master.。

I glanced at Lao Qian worriedly: "Then Master, can you save him?" ”

"Of course you can,"

Lao Qian had a steady expression on the old driver's face: "Although the old man racked his brains to come up with such a method and succeeded, but this little Jiujiu is not worth mentioning in the eyes of my Qian Chuanzi, little friend, do you want to change back your skin?" ”

Xiao Hanako immediately climbed to Lao Qian's side: "Do you have a way?" What are you going to do!? ”
