When Huang Lou heard my question, he didn't speak, just stared at me for a while, and said, "Your master is an immortal, a real living immortal. ”

I was stunned for a moment, so I asked him, "What is your surname, and where is it?" ”

He smiled slightly, "It's not convenient to tell you this for the time being, but when the time comes, your master will naturally appear." ”

Made, it's like this again, I'm also very drunk, and several people know about the master, so why don't they tell me, they don't discuss it to have fun with me, right?

Seeing that I didn't speak, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, since the benefactor has taken you as an apprentice, he naturally has his intentions in it, and when you should know, you will naturally know, why do you bother to trouble yourself, some things are too much to know, sometimes it can't bring benefits, on the contrary, it will be accompanied by some troubles." ”

I hummed, in fact, I had gradually forgotten the word master, and if he hadn't brought it up, I might have forgotten it all after a while.

So, I asked him the true meaning of the word Eight Immortals, and I was afraid that he would take advantage of this to shirk it, so I moved the master out and said: "Class master, you also know that I am just a nominal disciple of the master, and his old man did not teach me about the Eight Immortals. ”

He nodded, wanting to reach out and touch my head, probably seeing that I had passed the age of touching my head, he retracted his hand and smiled: "The eight immortals in Taoism, holding sandalwood, fan, crutch, flute, sword, gourd, Buddha dust, flower basket and other eight things, these eight things are called eight treasures, is the eight immortals' personal things, in some mythological novels, with eight immortals across the sea, eight immortals are the most famous, many places have eight immortal palaces, its hall is dedicated to the eight immortals, and now the eight immortals palace, not only represents the eight immortals in Taoism, but also the gathering place of your eight immortals. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at me and said, "Little brother, there is a palace of eight immortals in Zhuwen County, Shiyan City, where your eight immortals gather, many eight immortals chat and fart there on weekdays, talk about the bitterness of the industry, you can go there when you are free, you can learn a lot there." ”

"Shiyan City?" I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is that?" ”

"Hubei Province!" Lang Gao said on the side.

"Yes, it's Hubei Province!" The Huang Lou nodded and continued: "In ancient times, people hoped for immortality, what to refine the elixir, to find immortal medicine, such as Furu Donghai, Shoubi Nanshan, the sentence of driving the crane to the west can reflect the ideas of the ancients, and when alive, mortals can not become immortals, they can only pin this wish on after death, the ancients hoped that after their death, they could go to the immortal mountain of Nanshan and the East China Sea, and the immortal mountain of the East China Sea is where the eight immortals often live, and the eight immortals are the representative immortals of Taoism, so if you want to become an immortal, you can only find the eight immortals of Taoism. ”

After speaking, he stared at me for a while and asked, "Little brother, what do you say about those dead who want to become immortals?" ”

I thought for a while, and said: "Then according to the meaning of the deceased, send him to become an immortal, and if you want to go to the immortal mountain, you can only be sent by eight immortals, but mortals can't go to the immortal land, based on this reason, those of us who carry the coffin are called the eight immortals, which means that the deceased can become immortals after death?" ”

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "He is worthy of being a disciple of his benefactor, and his understanding is okay." This is how the name of the Eight Immortals came from, so you Eight Immortals are not carrying dragon coffins, but sending the dead to the Immortal Mountain. ”

I was stunned for a moment, what he said was too mysterious, according to my understanding, the eight immortals are to send people into the earth for peace, where is the immortal mountain. However, thinking that what he said was just the thoughts of the ancients, I didn't defend it, so I asked him: "The eight immortals carry the coffin, what is the particularity, or what are the taboos?" ”

"Ordinary people usually carry it, easily pine the fairy mountain, the rich and noble people carry it, the drum beats open the way for the eight immortals, the vicious people are vicious, and the bodhisattva has a good heart." He watched me say the forty-two words word by word.

I thought about it for a while, and what he said should be the importance of carrying the coffin, so I wrote down these forty-two words and asked him: "If you encounter the coffin of a tragic person, how to carry it?" ”

"Eight immortals carry eight treasures, one treasure separates yin and yang, two treasures divide the world, three treasures set the Geng position, and four treasures press the coffin." He said.

When I heard this, I asked him, "What about the five treasures?" ”

"Huh!" He smiled and said, "If you want to use the Five Treasures, in my opinion, you had better give up this funeral, otherwise, your life will be in danger, you must know that your master saved my family's life, he used the Five Treasures, causing his old man to spend a whole year in bed." ”

"Ahh I exclaimed in surprise and asked, "Just using the Eight Immortals' belongings, the consequences are so serious?" ”

He nodded, with a heavy look on his face, and said: "In the eyes of outsiders, these eight treasures are just some simple decorations, but for you Eight Immortals, it is your origin, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the Gu Master's natal Gu, once used, the Eight Immortals themselves will have the risk of losing their longevity, it is for this reason that the coffins of some tragic deaths, few people are willing to carry them." ”

Listening to this, I suddenly remembered the first time I carried the coffin, the couple seemed to be people who died in vain, there were not many eight immortals willing to carry it at that time, I was ignorant and was called over by Lao Wang to help, fortunately, it was just a false alarm at that time, and there was no accident, otherwise, I am afraid that I will burp that time.

Thinking of this, I was shocked into a cold sweat behind my back, this year's coffin-carrying career is simply foolish, I have not studied the coffin in depth, I know that the coffin is carried, and now I can't help but be a little afraid when I hear Huang Lou say this.

Seeing that my expression was wrong, Huang Lou smiled, patted me on the shoulder again, and said, "Little brother, these are the introductory knowledge of the Eight Immortals, you still have a long way to go in the future, when will you be able to carry the hanging coffin, your master may lead you into the door and teach you some useful knowledge." ”

I was stunned for a moment, what did he mean by that? How did he know that if he lifted the coffin, the master would see me?

At this point, I looked at him strangely and said, "Master Huang, how do you know so much?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said: "When the benefactor educated your senior brother, I was next to him, and I heard the benefactor say that as long as your senior brother can carry the hanging coffin, he will lead him into the master's door, and as for the knowledge of the eight immortals, I also knew it at that time." ”

As he spoke, he patted me heavily on the shoulder and continued: "Little brother, you must know that I have lived under the same roof with my benefactor for a month, if it weren't for my body not being strong enough, I would have followed my benefactor as an eight immortals a long time ago, and I wouldn't have thought about doing any drama troupe." ”
