Chapter 85: Parting
"It's true that he is your master, but it is not him, but a trace of distraction from your master, who was sealed in the jade pendant by him and left for me to save my life." The old man said with regret: "It's a pity, if your master and his real body come, Yinkun, a bastard thing, will definitely not be able to escape even if he has the ability to go to the sky." ”
After explaining this to me, the old man's eyes suddenly became extremely complicated, he looked at me and said, "Double happiness, you must listen to everything that the teacher says next, and you must memorize it by heart." ”
"Master, you say, I'll listen." I was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
However, a strange premonition rose in my heart, because the tone of the old man's speech today was a little unusual.
"Double happiness, people like us who learn the Tao pay attention to self-cultivation, accumulate virtue, and do good deeds." The old man sighed when he said this, and suddenly said in a self-deprecating tone: "Alas, but being a teacher is just the opposite, I will kill ghosts in this life, and I have lost too much yin virtue, and now that retribution is coming, the time limit has come, double happiness, you don't want to follow in the footsteps of being a teacher." ”
When the old man said that his time had come, his face did not show the slightest fear, but showed great relief, as if he had already seen through life and death.
"Master, don't scare me, how can you die if you're so good." He looked nonchalant, but it scared the hell out of me.
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "The condition of my body is very clear, today in order to kill Yin Kun, I exhausted all my body's essence and blood, and it is pure luck to be able to live until now, even if I go, you don't have to be too sad." ”
"Yes, it's Yin Kun, it's all his fault, it's him who made you like this." Anger instantly rose in my heart, and I roared with a hideous face: "Master, you wait, I'll go and kill Yin Kun, this bastard, to avenge you." ”
I was afraid that the old man would suddenly leave me and sprinkle all his resentment on Yin Kun's body, and at this time I was already carried away by anger, and I didn't even think about standing up, planning to go to Yin Kun to settle accounts.
Everything was caused by Yin Kun, and if it weren't for his appearance, the old man wouldn't have ended up like this.
But before I could take a step, the old man grabbed my arm and scolded me hatefully: "Bastard! Yin Kun can't beat this person as a teacher, and if you go, you will die in vain, you remember to me, don't go to him until you are in the possession realm, so as not to lose your life in vain. ”
"But...... The master ...... "I clenched my fists, and my face was full of unwillingness.
The old man was afraid that I would do something foolish on impulse, so he hurriedly grabbed my arm, and his face showed pleading: "Shuangxi, you promise to do one thing for the teacher, otherwise I will not be blind to death." ”
"Master, you say, I will promise you anything." As soon as I met his eyes, my heart softened, and I responded with red eyes.
"Don't look for Yin Kun to take revenge, live well, learn spells well, and inherit the incense of our immortal path, double happiness, can you do it?" The old man grabbed my arm and asked expectantly.
I looked at the bloodless old man, my heart tingled faintly, and finally nodded heavily: "Master, don't worry, I don't have a cultivation of the possession realm, I will never go to Yin Kun for revenge, as long as the disciple lives, the inheritance of Fang Immortal Dao will definitely not be broken!" ”
Seeing that I agreed to his request, the old man finally showed a relieved smile on his face: "Double happiness, bring the wine for the teacher." ”
I hurriedly got up, fetched him his wine gourd, unscrewed the wooden cork on it, and handed it to him.
When he saw the wine, the old man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to reach out and grab the wine gourd, tilt his head, and take a few big sips.
"Ahem... "The old man choked on the wine and coughed because he drank too quickly.
But this cough didn't matter, the old man wowed, and spit out another mouthful of blood, instantly staining a large piece of bedding.
I was frightened by this scene, and hurriedly persuaded me: "Master, don't drink it, your body is important." ”
"It's okay!" The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, raised his head, took another sip, and laughed heartily: "Haha, good wine!" Comfortable! It's fucking tough! ”
After a while, most of the gourd's liquor was in his stomach, and the old man's eyes had already become blurred, and he looked out the window at the sun that was about to set, and his eyes were full of confusion.
Facing the last afterglow of the sunset, the old man muttered to himself: "I, Jiang Zhengxin, was born in troubled times, I was a cattle herding baby in the Song family, thanks to the teacher's fancy to teach Taoism, I don't know how long it has been for decades, and now the time limit has come...... Master, I'm sorry for you, for failing to fulfill your filial piety under your knees, in vain...... Go first..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the wine gourd fall to the ground with a loud thud, and the old man's arms hung down, his head tilted, his eyes closed, and he had no breath.
"Master!" I hugged him, my heart was like a knife, and I cried loudly.
In an instant, all the bits and pieces of my life with the old man poured into my heart, on the Huangquan Road, the old man killed the ghost champion in order to save me, and after apprenticeship, I was naughty and mischievous, stealing his villain book and being beaten by him, scene by scene, like a picture in front of my eyes.
But when he died, everything disappeared, and my heart instantly emptied, as if the sky had fallen.
"Bang!"
Hearing my cries, the door was pushed open, and my parents and a group of them all poured into the house.
When they saw the motionless old man on the bed, all eyes were gloomy, and all of them fell silent.
The old man is dead, leaving me forever.
That night, I endured the sadness in my heart, and with the help of everyone, I built a mourning shed under the big banyan tree.
After hearing the news of the old man's death, all the villagers of Daliu Village rushed over, and they walked into the mourning shed in turn to bow three times to the old man's statue.
What I didn't expect was that Widow Tian also came, she squatted in the mourning shed and burned some paper money, and then threw herself on the old man's coffin and shouted and cried.
Widow Tian cried very sadly, collapsed to the ground, and was finally pulled down the coffin by everyone with persuasion.
If the old man knew that there was a widow besides me who was thinking about him, he must have been very relieved.
In this way, in the days after the old man's death, after the first funeral, crying, doing seven, funeral and other ceremonies, the final link began to prepare for burial.
My parents attached great importance to the old man's burial ceremony, and deliberately went to the town to spend money to hire a few "eight immortals".
Because the profession of the coffin bearer is unlucky, they don't like the title of coffin bearer, so they call themselves "eight immortals." ”
My parents invited the Eight Immortals to carry the coffin of the old man, which is the highest treatment for his death.
The cemetery was chosen by me, although it is not a big acupuncture point, but the feng shui is not bad, and it can let the old man's soul rest in peace.
I was afraid that he would be alone below, so I went to the town to buy a pair of golden boys and girls to burn for him, and there were good people to serve him below.
After the old man settled in the ground, I did not return home, but still stayed in the Taoist temple to live, I have lived here for five years, every grass and tree, I have a kind of intimate feeling.
However, what I didn't expect was that just five days after the old man's death, the catastrophe of heaven and earth that Huang Lao Er said finally came, and all of this disrupted my originally peaceful life.
Even, in order to escape the disaster, I had to choose to temporarily escape from Daliu Village and live a lonely and wandering life.
