Chapter 5: The Last Farmer
Jiang Xuanying's body was stunned, the knife in his hand stopped in mid-air, and he turned around and asked, "What's wrong, master?" ”
"Xuanying, is it a farmer who came out of the grave?" Ma Zhenren asked.
"It's a farmer!"
Ma Zhenren sighed and said: "It's a disciple, if you kill this farmer again, his Song family will be beggars for generations, alas, his Song family has no great evil, this tone is out for the teacher, you have to spare people, let's stop here." ”
Jiang Xuanying nodded, didn't talk nonsense, wrapped the knife in a black cloth, and then walked to the grave to pick up the gossip plate.
After cleaning up these, he and my master helped Ma Zhenren to leave the Song family cemetery.
When the farmer, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the three of them leave, he immediately turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared into the grave as if he had been pardoned.
After a while, the voices of a man and a woman were faintly heard from the tomb, and with the sound, two ghosts floated out hand in hand, it was the long-dead Master Song and his wife Sun.
Master Song looked at the backs of the three of them, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and muttered: "Ma Zhenren, I have seen everything that has happened in the past few years, and it is my Song family who can't stand you." ”
"Old man, the apprentice of that Ma Zhenren cut off our family's fortune, and you kowtow to him to apologize, are you old and confused, no, we have to avenge this revenge, I went to the body of that sackcloth boy, and teach him a good lesson." Sun's face was resentful, his eyes were fixed on the direction where the three of them were gone, and he said in a calm tone.
When Master Song heard this, his body trembled violently, and he suddenly got up violently, and with a "snap", a big mouth hit Sun's face, and roared: "I think you are an old fool who is a ghost, let's not say that our Song family is ashamed of Ma Zhenren, just his apprentice, you think it is a soft persimmon, anyone can pinch it a few times?" The knife in his hand was a butcher's knife! It's a Killing Blade! Don't say that a knife is cut on you, even if the evil qi on the knife is enough for you to bear, on his body, I see that you are purely impatient to live, and you don't even want to be reincarnated! ”
Sun was instantly sobered up by a slap from Master Song, and when she thought of the fierce knife in the hands of the young man in Mai, she was suddenly frightened, she covered her face aggrievedly, and said cryingly: "What should Song Zhi do, he is our son, the Mai boy cut off our family's official fortunes, and the generations of the Song family in the future are farmers, and in the end, it is still our son who suffers." ”
"Hehe, it's all retribution! Karma! Let him taste the bitter fruit that Song Zhi planted himself, not to mention that Ma Zhenren also left a glimmer of life for the Song family, alas, in order to protect the fortune of the Song family, you and I have not been reincarnated for ten years, it's just that! Let all this pass, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and if you can manage it for a while, you and I should forget about this life and go on the road of reincarnation. ”
When Sun heard this, he covered his face and cried sadly.
Finally, under the comfort of Master Song, the two turned to look at the yang world, their faces were faintly reluctant, their eyes revealed the beauty of the red world, infinite attachment, each regretted it, and walked into the tomb hand in hand.
For a while, the cemetery was silent, only a cyan stone tablet stood quietly.
Time passed, two years later, Ma Zhenren passed away, my master and Jiang Xuanying chose a place with pleasant feng shui to bury him, since then, their master and apprentice have lived in the back mountain of the broken Taoist temple, Jiang Xuanying treated my master very well, like his own son, in addition to teaching him to read and write, he taught him Taoism in his spare time.
And my master's mind is also flexible, and he has made rapid progress in learning Taoism, and by the time he is fifteen years old, he can already go out alone to do things for the villagers in ten miles and eight villages.
And this year, a great event also happened to the Song family.
One night, a group of bandits, about 30 people, came down from the mountain, riding horses and swords, and went straight to the Song family's compound with murderous spirit.
That night, the Song family was in flames, chickens and dogs jumped, the doors of every house in Daliu Village were closed, and no one dared to go out to see the excitement, just like that, overnight, all the property of the Song family was robbed, and the house was burned down by bandits.
Song Zhi's daughter-in-law was also caught by the bandit leader and went to the mountains to be the wife of the village because of her appearance, and there was no news from him since, Song Zhi couldn't accept this cruel fact, and spit blood in his mouth that night, rolled his eyes, and almost passed like this.
After that, the life of the Song family was not as good as day by day, the subordinates walked and fled, and in the end, only Song Zhi and his two sons, Dahu and Xiaohu, were left to rely on each other.
Time is in the stubble, in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed, things are not people, after Song Zhisheng fell ill and left, the family business of the Song family fell on the big tiger and the little tiger, in fact, there is no family business, just a few adobe houses and a few acres of land, after all, the property of the Song family has already been plundered by bandits.
By the generation of Dahu and Xiaohu, they have become authentic farmers, and the villagers of Daliu Village, they also work at sunrise and return at sunset, and the Song family in Daliu Village has ceased to exist since then, leaving only two ordinary farmers surnamed Song.
Karma is the most appropriate for the Song family, the so-called cause and effect, planting good causes and getting good results, there is a cause, there will be a result.
The Buddha said: "When the time is not right, the cause does not arise, because the cause is not caused, there is no fate and no part, and so on." To put it bluntly, it is the cause and effect, the cause is that Song Zhi and his wife are ungrateful to Ma Zhenren and add malice, and the result is that the Song family was cut off by Jiang Xuanying, and ended up with a family defeat.
As the saying goes, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.
The so-called Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and I hope that everyone will do more good deeds and bear more good results, whether it is for themselves or their families, it is all beneficial and harmless.
In this way, another five years passed, that is, when my master was fifty years old, which was already the end of the Republic of China, and the history of the Republic of China was only a short period of more than 30 years, and during these more than 30 years, internal and external troubles continued, and it was in a state of war.
When my master was 60 years old, that is, in 1937, Japan's troops pointed to China's thousands of miles of fertile fields, thousands of acres of fertile land, and the haze of war was like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun overwhelmed China, and soon the Xi'an Incident and the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and the War of Resistance against Japan finally began.
Fortunately, the war did not affect our poor and remote place, and the villagers of Daliu Village still lived an ordinary life, unaware that China was already in dire straits.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the great Chairman Mao announced the founding of the People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square, and this year, I was just 10 years old, and it was also this year that I worshipped Jiang Zhengxin as a teacher and lived with him in that Taoist temple.
To say that worshipping him as a teacher is mainly because of my body, my physique is relatively special, in my master's words, it is a psychic physique, I can see or feel some things that ordinary people can't understand.
One evening, seeing that the sun was about to set, I was playing in the yard alone, and when I was having fun, there was a sudden noise outside the gate, as well as the sound of suona and trumpets, as if there were many people rushing to my house, I was curious, so I ran over to see the excitement.
