Chapter 25: The Righteous Immortals
As the parties, Zhang Guozhong, Lao Liu Tou and Qin Ge were taken back to the Public Security Bureau for questioning, and when the situation was explained clearly, it was the next morning, after coming out of the Public Security Bureau, the three hired a taxi and went back to Xiaba, and as soon as they entered the village, they killed Liu Cripple's house.
"What's going on?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but it was not latched.
"Huh? Brother, we have to pay attention to come first and then come......" Seeing that Zhang Guozhong was about to push the door into the courtyard, a pot-bellied man reading the newspaper next to him hurriedly stepped forward to reason.
Just when Zhang Guozhong was arguing with this big-bellied man, Li Dong opened the courtyard door from the inside, "Zhang Zhangjiao, you are back!" Something is wrong! ”
"Huh? Event? What's the big deal? Zhang Guozhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the door into the hospital.
"Yellow Immortal!" Li Dong lowered his voice, "Huang Xian is dead!" ”
"Dead ...... He's dead!? Zhang Guozhong's jaw almost hit the top of his feet, pushed the door and entered the house, only to see a wolfdog-sized oversized weasel lying straight on the table, and Liu Cripple on the side was crying and his eyes were red.
"This ...... What's going on!? "Zhang Guozhong's head is inexplicable, theoretically speaking, if the child on Wang Aiyun's body is really a bad star, at this moment, the evil star has been removed, this Huang Xian should return his wisdom to Liu Cripple, why is it so good?
"Blame me...... Blame me...... It's all my fault......" Liu Cripple couldn't cry, it was almost like crying for his father, "I'm sorry for him......"
"Mr. Liu, don't worry! Speak slowly! Zhang Guozhong touched the weasel on the table with his hand, feeling that his body was still warm, but he was no longer breathing, as if he had just died.
"Yesterday, you all left, and he left...... Liu lame pointed at Li Dong, "I was so sleepy that I took a nap, but I dreamed that Daxian came back again, saying that the dust was over, come and say goodbye to me, let me take care!" Liu lame couldn't cry and said, "I dreamed that he was sitting here, saying that there was a bad star in the next dam, and five people had to die before he came into the world, and five more people had to die after he came into the world, and the last five people included me!" When I heard this, I was very frightened, and asked him what to do, and he said that he didn't need to be afraid, and he said that although he couldn't fight that evil star, he had damaged his cultivation for one hundred and fifty years, and asked Sasuke Xingjun* to descend that evil star, so that I could rest assured, and then I woke up, and then ...... After that...... "Speaking of this, Liu lame choked even more, "After I opened the door, Daxian was lying outside the door, I quickly carried him into the house, and he was still angry, but it didn't take long for him to ...... Just ......"
"Sasuke-kun?" Not to mention Zhang Guozhong, even Qin Ge couldn't help frowning,
"When I woke up, I found this ...... in my hand," Liu Cripple took a note from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Guozhong while crying, "I don't know what is written, I guess it was the ...... left for me by Daxian"
After taking the note, Zhang Guozhong was also stunned, only to see that it was densely packed with inscriptions......
In the vast year of the sky,
The three catastrophes caused the dust.
Observe the warmth and coldness of the world,
Envy can't get into the world.
There is no reward for the shallow operation of light arts,
A hundred years of cultivation for the ability to become a virtuous.
Drain the heavenly opportunity to give Ember,
Ten years of life is also difficult.
When the evil star descends, there is no way to do it,
Fortunately, Sasuke Star is in the world.
Rebel against the sky and change your life to call the stars,
A life falls, a life returns.
The conjuring spirit is not absent from the corpse,
Jianwen is located in the hidden machine.
May the way of heaven begin again,
He was born in the afterlife.
"It is really a righteous immortal ...... that is difficult to find through the ages" After reading the inscription on the paper, Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but sigh......
According to the content of this poem, Liu Cripple should save this yellow immortal in the year of Bingyin in the lunar calendar, that is, around 1986, as a beast who cultivates immortals, what this yellow immortal encountered was not accidental disability, but a fateful catastrophe. In order to repay the favor of Liu lame, this Huang Xian did not hesitate to give Liu Lame a pair of discerning eyes at the cost of loss and repair, as we all know, the leakage of the heavenly machine is to fold the life, the leaked heavenly machine is different, the degree of the discount is not the same, if it is the leakage of the "national luck" level of the heavenly machine, there is even the possibility of dying on the spot, most of the professional fortune tellers have a "peep name" that is, the pseudonym used in fortune telling, In order to reduce the loss of the life of the leaking machine, the second can be around the bush, the things that can not be said "the heavenly machine can not be leaked" is vague, and Liu Cripple is not a professional fortune teller, and I don't know what to say and what not to say, these ten years have been to tell people with their own real name to tell the hexagram has never had any "peep name", "fake name", as long as others give money, what should be said and what should not be said is all out of the way, the heavenly machine is exhausted, this account is finally calculated to the head of the Huang Xian who gave him insight, This also directly led to the fact that this Huang Xian had exhausted almost a hundred years of cultivation in just ten years, and his lifespan was also exhausted, but this was not the direct reason why Huang Xian died violently in Liu Cripple's family.
According to the description in the poem, Liu Cripple's ten-year "unobstructed" has almost exhausted all of Huang Xian's cultivation, so when Huang Xian learned that the evil star came into the world and was about to threaten the life of Liu Cripple, that is, his "Enbo", there was not enough cultivation to resolve this catastrophe. This is the direct cause of Huang Xian's violent death.
There is a saying, "The king of Hades wants you to die for the third watch, how can he keep you until the fifth watch?" "What is providence? This is the will of heaven, it is impossible to completely overthrow it, even if Huang Xian exhausted his cultivation and summoned the "Sasuke Xingjun" to prevent the evil star from descending, but it is only a disguised change to the "will of heaven", and the sentence "one life falls and one life returns" in the poem also confirms Zhang Guozhong's conjecture, Huang Xian exchanged his life for Liu Lame's life. Pinch your fingers, since Wang Aiyun was pregnant with the child in her belly, there are a total of four people who have died or are destined to die: Su Tieli, Wang Aiyun's mother Luo Yanfen, Huzi's father Zhang Yungang, and Wang Aiyun's old friend Song Yongjun (carrying three lives, "death penalty + deprivation of political rights for life" must not have run), plus the death of this Huang Xian, no more, no less, exactly five lives, although the five lives after the birth of the evil star have not been fulfilled, but before the birth of these five lives have all been fulfilled.
At the end of the poem, Huang Xian seems to have mentioned the clue of Su Tieli's corpse, but the sentence "Jianwen returns to the hidden machine Xuan" is almost the same as not saying, at the end of the poem, Huang Xian even expressed an incredible wish, "I only wish that the way of heaven will start again and again, and I will be born in the next life in the world", although this Huang Xian is an omnipotent "immortal" in the eyes of ordinary people, but he wants to be an ordinary person in the next life.
After listening to Zhang Guozhong's explanation, Liu Cripple lay on the table and cried even more sadly, "Daxian, why didn't you tell me these things earlier...... I'm an old lame man, helpless, all these years I rely on you to feed, I'm ashamed, I'm sorry for you, it's you who are kind to me...... You are a person, you are a member of my old Liu family......"
"Zhang Zhangjiao......" Qin Ge patted Zhang Guozhong on the shoulder, "Do you think he can be reincarnated as a human in the next life?" ”
"Hey......?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, he never imagined that this kind of question would come out of Qin Ge's mouth.
"yes...... Sheet...... Brother Zhang ...... "Hearing Qin Ge's question, Liu Cripple also raised his head, and looked at Zhang Guozhong with expectant eyes, although he didn't know what the people in front of him were and didn't know how to call them, but since he could understand the note left by Daxian, he must not be a simple person."
"It should ...... It should be......" Looking at Liu Cripple's earnest eyes, Zhang Guozhong could only lie. To tell the truth, Liu Cripple's first ten years of leaking the heavenly machine are all trivial things, if you are a human being, just by finally changing your life against the sky and leading "Sasuke Xingjun" to prevent the evil star from descending into the world, it is the sin of never being able to be born, although Zhang Guozhong has not studied the reincarnation of animals in depth, but the result must not be too bad, even if it is a beast that cultivates immortals, there will be no exceptions, and since this yellow immortal is an "immortal", he must also know about these things, as for the longing of "the afterlife of life is in the world", At best, it's a good wish.
"Zhang Zhangjiao! I would like to ask one thing! Seeing Zhang Guozhong nodded, the expression on Qin Ge's face also changed slightly, "Animal, can you exceed it?" ”
"This ......" Don't say it's Zhang Guozhong, even Lao Liu Tou was stunned, in his impression, Qin Ge is a cold person, although he is not hard-hearted, but it's true that he doesn't meddle in things, "Master Qin, a super beast, there has never been a precedent in my Daomen, but I, Liu Fengyan, am willing to try!" Old Liu Tou patted Qin Ge on the shoulder, it didn't seem like a joke.
In the courtyard of Liu Cripple's house, the incense mist is swirling around the Dharma and reciting in unison, the first time in the history of the Taoist Gate for the beasts to set up the transcendent Dharma by the old Liu Tou himself, for a time the people waiting outside the door have peeped through the crack in the door, and even the curious people climbed up the wall, but saw an old man dressed in a Taoist robe and a wooden sword flying, the fairy wind Dao bone is majestic, the square table in front of the old man is full of incense burner offerings, and Zhang Zhang Fu is attached to the four sides and flutters in the wind, which makes those who have never seen the authentic transcendent Dharma also really open their eyes, the only thing that makes these spectators around them puzzled, what is the large weasel lying on the bench in front of the square table? Could it be a sacrifice?
In the transcendent ceremony, Liu Cripple stared at this weasel who had allowed himself to be rich and fed with a mouth for more than ten years, and at the last moment of his life, he gave up his only cultivation to solve the great disaster for himself, as a person, what did his sad eyes say? Regret? Thanksgiving? Or, ashamed?
There is a saying that "when you receive the grace of a little water, you must repay it with a spring", which is a wise saying put forward by human beings, but in the vast world for thousands of years, how many people can really do this? He is just a weasel, no name, no past and future worth showing off or sympathizing, human beings collectively call all such animals - weasel, he has human spirituality because of a hundred years of practice, he learns human thinking, human language, human emotions, and finally walked the last step of life in a human way, maybe even he does not realize that while he is desperately learning people, imitating people, and envying people, his heart has already surpassed a real person!
