Today I want to talk about the story of "Nothing in the Sleeve", the protagonist of the story is my uncle who has been feathered, many years have passed, but this incident is still fresh in people's memories

。。。。。。

That was in 2012, when I had just taken over the Jade Emperor Pavilion Taoist Temple in D City, which was nominally a Taoist temple, but in fact it was a boss temple (the temple property was owned by the boss of the consortium). The temple is not very big, a courtyard into the main hall is only about a dozen square size, but all the science needs to be set up in the open air.

The economic conditions on the temple are also poor, the place where the palm is big, there are more than a dozen halls, each hall is only the size of the palm, the floor is paved with leather, there is a small incense burner on the altar, even if it is the temple, the cloud room is even more miserable, the broken wall and ruins are left alone, in summer, the kang is full of bed bugs, in winter, the hearth will also freeze, the steamed bun is frozen harder than the brick, if you want to draft, you have to first break the ice floe in the well, and then put half of the body into the well, scoop the bucket to lift, the action is slow, the water in the bucket is also going to freeze.

At the same time, this Jade Emperor Pavilion was built in the deep mountains, although there is a legend, this temple was originally rebuilt by the thunder altar of a certain heavenly master in the Qing Dynasty when he was ordered to kill ghosts, but the historical legend of this kind of thing, I have never known how much is true, how much is false. However, it is true that the temple is far away from the village, and it is true that from the temple gate, walking the mountain road for three or four hours, you can find people, and it is already the blessing of the ancestors.

In fact, for a Taoist priest, there is nothing wrong with the broken points on the temple, after all, cultivation is to cultivate the mind, and only by being able to endure difficulties and hardships can you get close to the Tao. However, on this temple, there are two things, but it is unbearable, one is that an old lady often comes to the temple, saying that it is a very famous local "big fairy (jumping god)", as long as the temple is set up Jiao, it will definitely come to make trouble, regardless of your believers in the north and south of the world, when you meet, you will "descend to the fairy (jump the big god please God)", and then talk nonsense, no matter what you do; Another thing, is the nephew of the temple owner, speaking of the nephew of the temple owner, but I can't remember what the surname is, let's replace it with "temple nephew" in the following, this "temple nephew", thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and big, a horizontal meat, hob meat temperament, all day long gathering a vote of ruffians and hooligans to make trouble in the temple, what's more, three days and two ends with a wire in the middle of the night to the temple from the merit box to take out the money, you can't beat, you can't scold, you say two sentences about him, He went back and talked nonsense in front of his uncle (the temple owner), which made people uneasy. Later, these two people got together, one was messing around, the other was pestering, the other was smashing the pot, and the other was uncovering.

It was the early winter of 2012, and I sat on a three-legged stool in the cloud room to drink tea as usual. When I was bored, I only heard the sound of knocking on the door knocker outside, "Is Yang Daochang there?" Bang Bang Bang! Is the Taoist chief here? ”

When I listened closely, it was a strange old woman's voice, and she hurriedly put down the teacup and moved to open the door, "Oh," I raised my eyes to look, but saw a white-haired old woman pulling a little girl of five or seven years old, "Xiaodao is here, I don't know the old man, who are you?" ”

"Oh~", the old grandmother said kindly, "Dao Chief, I heard from the 'Liu Shenxian (the old lady who jumped the gods)" on your temple that my little granddaughter was possessed by a wild ghost who didn't know what, so I specially brought her to take a look." ”

"Oh," I held back the anxiety in my heart, and said with a pleasant face, "In that case, please serve tea in the house~"

When I had to sit down in the house, the old grandmother took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's been a long time, 'Liu Shenxian' said that she will be there soon, I will rest here with you, and wait for her to come." ”

"Okay, please, hehe~" When I heard this, I laughed self-deprecatingly, and picked up a copy of "Lingbao Gold Medal" and flipped through it.

"Dao Chief?" The old lady came to me, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Huh?" I looked up.

"I heard that you can also cure some evil diseases, can you show my little granddaughter?" The old woman laughed all over her face.

"Oh, okay." Saying that, I came to the little girl, leaned down, looked carefully, and saw that the little girl was not the slightest abnormal, and asked the little girl about her daily life, but the little girl answered like a stream, not at all like she was possessed, so she reached out and probed the little girl's palm (Taoist friends who have studied Chinese medicine should know, see pediatrics, not to ask for pulse, but should probe the palm to break the disease. I found that the little girl had nothing abnormal except for her congenital weak lungs, so she said, "Grandma, your granddaughter has nothing to do, but her congenital lungs are weak, and the day after tomorrow is to take more maintenance. ”

"Oh?" The old grandmother will be suspicious, "Is it really okay?" ”

"It's fine." I sat down on a stool, ready to take a cup of tea and drink it all.

"How can it be okay?!" A middle-aged man's roar sounded outside the door.

"Huh?" I hurriedly turned my head to look.

When I saw it, it was the "temple nephew" and the "dancing god" Mrs. Liu, an old man and a young man, who walked into the cloud room, "Giggles," and then, the old lady Liu's yaksha-like laughter sounded, "I said, Yang Er, my 'old fairy' said that her granddaughter has a possession, she is possessed," and turned his head to look at the kind grandmother, "I said, Lao Zheng, this Yang Er, is the temple gatekeeper, my 'old fairy', is the true god of the temple, your granddaughter, there is a Yama evil ghost to follow, don't move" Old fairy's take it away, your granddaughter, she will definitely not survive this year's wax moon! ”

"Huh?" Grandma Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, "What do you think about 'Liu Shenxian'?" ”

"This matter," Mrs. Liu pretended to pull out her neck and said, "Give 30,000 yuan first, and then I will invite my 'old fairy' to tell you what to do!" ”

"I said, Mrs. Liu," I couldn't bear it anymore when I heard this, "there is no such trick as you, this doll has nothing to do, don't scare people." ”

"Shut up! Syllable! A big hand fell on my tea table in response, and when I looked up, it was the previous Grandma Zheng who said angrily, "You fake Taoist, shut up!" You are not good at learning, don't you know that there is a Yama demon following my granddaughter, and you still have the face to speak?! In a blink of an eye, he changed his flattering expression and looked at Mrs. Liu and said: "Fairy Liu, don't worry, don't be like him, I'll bring you money, you first ask 'Old Fairy' to show our granddaughter?" ”

"Hmm~mm~mm~", Mrs. Liu pretended to groan, "Okay, who has let us know each other for so many years?" Saying that, he sat cross-legged on the kang, lit a cigarette, shook his head and shook his buttocks for a while, and then, the pupils of his eyes turned into two vertical lines, "ah" sounded, opened his big mouth, and spit out a fishy breath, at this time, the "temple nephew" quickly took out a few raw eggs from the bag he carried, knelt and crawled to Mrs. Liu's approach, raised his hands above his head, and sent the eggs to Mrs. Liu's mouth, the crunching sound of Mrs. Liu's bite, mixed with egg whites, yolks, and eggshells swallowed the eggs one by one, and there were about a dozen of them to be eaten, burped, breathed a long sigh of relief, the smell was unbearable, and then, with a steel knife scraping bones-like voice, said: "This little cub, there is a demon of Yama on his body, come, go and pour her the half bucket of holy water I left behind the warehouse a few years ago to drink, this ghost will be fine!" As he spoke, he shook his head and shook his ass again, as if he had lost his strength, and fell on the kang.

The old lady Zheng and the "temple nephew" played with their lives and kowtowed, muttering in their mouths: "Old fairy bless~" and other words, I stood behind and said no, not to say no, this helplessness is not mentioned.

Immediately afterwards, the "temple nephew" returned to the room with half a bucket of pork fat that had been frozen for about three or four years from the warehouse, and was about to dig it open with a spoon and give it to the little girl's mouth, and the girl was crying incessantly. I was sad, and I couldn't help but say, "Grandma Zheng, this thing can't be eaten by the child, it will kill you." ”

Unexpectedly, what was waiting for me was Grandma Zheng's scolding, and then, it was Grandma Zheng and the "temple nephew" who held down the little girl, and the other used a spoon to send lard to the mouth, I really couldn't stand it, so I turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and I couldn't help but sigh again.

Originally, the matter was over here, and it was possible that this was an "eventful night" after all. At night, I closed the temple door, just lay down, I saw the lights and torches outside the window as bright as day, hurriedly dressed and opened the door to see, but it was the "temple nephew" and the old lady Liu and Mrs. Zheng, with a group of dealers, came to the temple with a menacing attitude.

Before I could open my mouth to ask, Mrs. Zheng was the first to speak: "Big brothers, it's him!" It was he who disturbed the 'old fairy' to cast a spell to exorcise evil spirits for my granddaughter, my granddaughter is now in the emergency department and can't wake up, big brothers, you have to call the shots for me! ”

Saying that, the group of people could not be justified, picked up the wooden stick hoe and was about to do it, I hurriedly picked up the door bolt leaning on the ground in my hand, while protecting myself, while shouting: "Everyone, everyone, listen to me~ This granddaughter of Grandma Zheng ate Mrs. Liu's lard, so that she got food poisoning, Mrs. Liu herself is a liar, I told Grandma Zheng many times, she just didn't believe it, oops! As he was shouting, he was caught off guard and received a blow on his shoulder.

"Only by believing in you can you have a ghost," the temple nephew shouted, "beat him to death, Immortal Liu is our immortal, he is a liar, beat him to death!" ”

As he was talking, there was another hoe, running to my head, I was really anxious, one innocent was wronged, the other innocent was beaten, so the anger to the heart, the evil to the gall, picked up the door bolt, to open the "magic wand method", the subordinates were not merciful, only a group of croppers were beaten to the head of the rat, was fighting up, but heard an old man's thick and loud voice behind him: "immeasurable ~ blessing ~, Lida, don't stop yet~"

I listened to it and hurriedly watched it, but saw that in the haze, a short and fat old Taoist stood not far behind me, after all, the dark night in the deep mountains, but I couldn't see clearly when I was in a hurry, and I had to walk in to take a look, I couldn't help but be stunned, it was none other than my uncle of the Xuanwu faction, whose common family name was Hu, and his Taoist name was Xuanyi.

"Ahem, don't look at it," Uncle Hu coughed deliberately, "I don't have flowers on my face, what do you see?" ”

"Huh?" I still didn't come back to my senses, "Uncle Shi, you don't stay in the Five Dragons Palace all the time, why did you come here?" ”

"What? Don't want me to come? If you don't want me to come, I'll go! He turned around and was about to leave.

"Where, where, disciple see Uncle Shi," I said as I hurriedly chased forward to give a salute.

"Eh, Lida, the bigger you are, the more you go back," Uncle Hu hated that iron could not become steel, "I came to Qianshan Immeasurable Temple to meet a few Taoist friends, I heard that you picked up the temple in D City, so I thought about coming over to see, who would have thought that your temple was so far away, and I walked dozens of miles of mountain roads to arrive, and when I got here, you didn't greet me, and I fought with a group of people, which is really a shame for your master!" ”

"Uncle Shi, this...

"What is this? Do you admit your mistakes? Uncle Shi blew his beard and glared.

Before I could answer, the voice of the "temple nephew" behind me sounded, "Old man! Be nosy! If you get angry, I'll beat you up! He gestured and rolled up his sleeves.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but bang up angrily and yell, "How dare you!" The flying body was about to make a move, but he heard a shout from the uncle behind him: "Stop!" Are you going to do it right in front of my eyes? "Uncle Shi's voice, the whole valley with echoes, only shook my ears buzzing, the "temple nephew" was also frightened, staying in place is not to advance, not to retreat.

"I'm sorry, uncle, my fault." As I spoke, I stood beside my uncle with my hands down and didn't dare to make another attempt.

"Okay, why the hell are you doing it?" Uncle Hu asked with a sideways face.

So I told the story succinctly, I thought that Uncle Shi should stand on my side, who would have thought that Uncle Shi would actually shout at me: "Lida, do you admit your mistake?" ”

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong with me?"

"Huh?" Uncle Hu said sharply, "I said you were at fault, but you are not convinced?" ”

"Don't~" I said helplessly, "Serve, I admit my mistake." ”

"Okay, now that you've admitted your mistakes, it's easy to do." Uncle Shi wiped his snow-white beard and said in a deep voice, "Go, apologize to Mrs. Liu, after all, they are your elders." ”

"I apologize to her???" I was confused.

"Huh?" Uncle Shi glared at me.

"Cheng Cheng Cheng," I really felt helpless to the extreme, "I went to apologize." ”

"Mmmm, okay, that's good, apologize, let them all come to the temple to sit, I'll talk to her." Uncle Shi said, smiling imperceptibly.

I didn't mention the apology, but said that everyone came to the cloud room in the temple to sit down, and I made a bowl of tea for everyone, and then stood behind Uncle Shi with my hands down.

"Eh," Uncle Shi said to Mrs. Liu with a smile on his face, "My senior brother is a stubborn man, he is not good at learning, so you can see that you are laughing, since I, as an elder, have to accompany him," he got up and swept the floor, "Look, can you forgive me?" ”

I listened, not to mention how awkward it was, Uncle Shi actually whispered to a liar so much, I really don't know, whether I was wrong, or Uncle Shi was wrong, but it was not easy to speak, so I could only barely endure it.

"Eh," Mrs. Liu leaned on the old way, "Oh, since this big brother has said soft things, just ask Xiao Yang to kowtow to me." ”

"Hehe," Uncle Hu said with a smile, "It's not impossible to kowtow, so let's apologize to you now, see if you can invite your 'old immortal' to come up, and I can apologize to him." ”

"Oh, forget it, I forgive, and my 'old fairy' will naturally forgive." Mrs. Liu laughed with a condescending expression.

"That's not good," Uncle Hu said undoubtedly, "If you should apologize, you have to apologize, and please ask 'Xian'er'." ”

"Okay, since the elder brother said so, I'll 'invite Xian'er'." Mrs. Liu triumphantly lit a cigarette again, shook her head and shook her butt in public.

But said that Uncle Hu, when Mrs. Liu's body shook the most, he quietly inserted his hands into the wide cuffs, only to see a few imperceptible tremors in the wide cuffs, and then, Uncle Hu quietly muttered a few words in an extremely subtle voice, and then his eyes burst out with a fine light, and then returned to the original, but the sleeves were obviously bulging around.

Looking at Mrs. Liu's body that was shaking badly, but suddenly it didn't shake, Mrs. Liu's originally closed eyes also opened blankly, she tried several times, but they didn't shake, and she couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

"Oh," Uncle Hu said with a smile, "It seems that your 'old fairy' is not at home?" ”

"Eh," Mrs. Liu sweated on her forehead, "Maybe, brother, my 'old fairy' is not at home, you let Lida knock me first~"

Mrs. Liu didn't finish speaking, but I saw Uncle Liu, who shook his hand lightly and exposed a gap in his sleeves, and Mrs. Liu's words were interrupted by force, and then, Mrs. Liu's eyes changed, even if she was on her body, at this time, without waiting for Mrs. Liu to speak, there was already a "temple nephew" kneeling on the ground to offer eggs without mentioning.

said that when Mrs. Liu was chewing eggs, Uncle Hu put his gloves in his sleeves again, muttered a sentence in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and then the sleeves bulged up with a big bag.

"Ah~Click~" Mrs. Liu vomited out the broken eggshell in disgust, "Bah, Bah! What's this, ahh ”

"Your 'old fairy' is going out again?" Uncle Hu said with a smile.

"This, no, my family~ah~" Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to finish speaking, Uncle Hu lifted the cuffs up a gap again, and then Mrs. Liu's eyes changed again.

This time it was also strange, that Mrs. Liu changed her eyes, did not make a fortune, knelt down directly on the kang to Uncle Hu, kowtowed with her life, and howled miserably: "Dao Ye spare your life, you are merciful, spare your life!" ”

"Oh," Uncle Hu spread out his cuffs and said with a smile, "You know it's called Daoye?" ”

"Ancestor! Living Ancestors! Mrs. Liu wailed, "I was wrong, I was just a fox with shallow cultivation, this Mrs. Liu, she was greedy and cheated a few dollars to spend, I just borrowed her body to eat eggs, and I didn't hurt anyone's life, ancestor, you just spare me, it's not easy for me to practice, don't kill me~"

"Oh~" At this time, the other people suddenly realized, and they showed a fierce light towards Mrs. Liu one by one. But said Uncle Hu, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Evil obstacles, you have blackmailed people for money, to the point of hurting people, although there is no life, but you can't be spared, the poor road will not kill you, take you in today, and bring you back to Wudang Mountain in the future, everything is up to the ancestors!" After that, without waiting for the beast to say anything, she raised her cuffs directly, and Mrs. Liu instantly fell on the kang like a deflated ball.

Immediately, Uncle Hu said to a kind of banker: "Fool! What is true and what is false, now you know, right? Why don't you send those two liars to the Public Security Bureau in a hurry?! ”

"Yes!" A group of croppers viciously grabbed the "temple nephew" and sent Mrs. Liu to the Public Security Bureau.

But he said that after everyone dispersed, only me and my uncle were left, and my uncle let out a sigh of relief and said, "Baby, are you still angry with your uncle?" ”

"There's no Uncle Shi," I scratched my head embarrassedly, "Thank you, Uncle Shi." ”

"Don't be busy," Uncle Shi raised his eyes and stared into my eyes, "Do you know what you did wrong today?" ”

"Got it, Uncle Shi, I misunderstood you."

"Wrong!" Uncle Shi patted the table and said, "Big mistake! It doesn't matter if you misunderstand me or not! But as a disciple of the patriarch, you can't kill the demons and subdue the demons when you see the demons rampant in the world, this is a big mistake! Do you understand? ”

"Disciple understands," I said seriously, "thank you Uncle for your teachings." ”

"Although you understand the mistake," Uncle Lao Huai said, "But kneeling incense is inevitable, go to kneel incense for a while, think about today's mistake!" ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi." As I spoke, I turned around and was about to go to the main hall to kneel on incense.

"Come back," Uncle Shi grabbed my sleeve and said, "Baby, even if you have the heart to kill demons now, I'm afraid you don't have the power to kill demons~ That's it, Uncle Shi passed you on today." ”

"The hand you just played with?" I was ecstatic.

"Well," Uncle Shi smiled, "It's not too stupid after all, this hand is called 'Qiankun in the sleeve' and also called 'Qiankun Technique', in this cuff, the left hand pinched the 'Xuandi Jue', the right hand pinched the 'Ben Lei Jue', and the silent mantra 'Yuan Shi Yuwen', and used the spirit power to guide it." Remember? ”

"Remember," I thought for a moment, "thank you, uncle!" ”

"Well, kneel and go~"

。。。。。。

In a blink of an eye, how many years have passed, and last year I went back to Wudang Mountain to do errands, knelt in front of my uncle's tombstone, let my tears spill in the soil, and couldn't help myself for a long time

。。。。。。
