Chapter 67: Hairballs
I followed the direction that the furball was pointing to, and it was all bushes, and it was very difficult to walk. Finally, I walked through a small bush and saw a pocket watch on the ground, which was the one I lost.
I touched the hairball to thank you, and the hairball chirped and looked proud. I carefully put it in my jacket pocket, and it curled up in a ball, looking very pleasant.
I didn't care about it anymore, I came to the pocket watch, reached out to pick it up, the fingertips of my left hand just touched the pocket watch case, and the voices of Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Hai suddenly sounded in my mind, and their shouts were extremely painful: "Don't touch us." ”
I was stunned and withdrew my hand.
Huang Xiaotian said in his heart: "Little golden boy, you change your other hand to hold the pocket watch." ”
I was suspicious and switched to my right hand, and this time I picked up the watch without incident. Carefully tie the pocket watch to the waistband of your trousers. Huang Xiaotian said: "Look at your left hand. ”
I spread my left hand out and was stunned when I looked at it. There is a faint line of words in the palm of the left hand, as if it was made with something hot. Look closely, but you don't know a word, and the glyph is a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that there was a scripture sound in He Xiangu's tomb, and I inadvertently put my hand on the cave wall, which was similar to touching a soldering iron, burning white smoke, but I didn't expect the words on the cave wall to be printed in my palm.
"What is this?" I asked.
Huang Xiaotian said: "I don't know what it is, but I know that this thing has a great restraint effect on Yin spirits like me and Sect Leader Cheng, as soon as your left hand touched us just now, we felt like falling into a sea of fire, and our bodies were very hot." ”
I'm a little delighted: "It's kind of interesting." ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "Don't be happy first, although this scripture can drive away evil spirits, it is not given to you in vain. Every action of the true immortal has a great meaning, and it is secretly in line with the way of heaven. Think about what happened to you when you came out of the cave. ”
I recalled, and I remembered a vision, a woman in front of a mirror, with a knife in her hand, as if she was about to commit suicide. I told them about the scene.
Huang Xiaotian didn't say anything for a long time, he should be thinking. He asked Cheng Hai: "Sect Master Cheng, what do you think?" ”
Cheng Haidao: "I think this woman in the illusion should be the split incarnation of He Xiangu's next generation." ”
I nodded: "Logically reasonable. But why did I see her in the dark, and what did it mean? ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "Is there such a possibility, this split incarnation needs an opportunity to have an epiphany of his identity, and this opportunity is you!" Forget it, don't think about it, let's keep an eye on it in the future. Since there is an opportunity, sooner or later it can be encountered, just one day earlier and one day later. ”
I didn't think about these as much, and I felt that this trip to the Eight Immortal Caves was quite profitable. Not only did he remove the yin poison and get the hairball, but he also printed the scriptures on his left palm to ward off evil spirits.
I lost almost all of my belongings, but there are two great sect masters of Huang Cheng, especially Huang Xiaotian, who is a yellow skin of the scattered immortals, and it is a unique activity to view the earth, and he was born with it. Under their guidance, it took me a whole night to finally get out of the mountains.
I didn't go back to the village, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the villagers, so I went straight to the bus station and took the bus back to Songyuan.
I lived in Songyuan, and although the yin poison in my body was plucked, it was weak that had accumulated for more than 20 years, and it was not an overnight task to take care of it. Found a clean room in a chain hotel and I had a good night's sleep.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, my stomach was rumbling with hunger, and my body was so relaxed that I couldn't talk. In the past, the body was like a cement pour, heavy and tired, and I was out of breath when I did some work, but now my body is as light as a swallow, and I see the whole world full of sunshine.
I hurried downstairs, and when the dinner was closed in the evening, I found a 24-hour supermarket, bought a bunch of things and came back to eat.
The next day, I didn't rush to leave, and at noon I walked around alone and found a hot pot restaurant and feasted. While I was eating, I just heard the sound of "chirping", and the hairball poked its head out of my jacket pocket.
I figured it was hungry, and I didn't know what it was eating, so I picked up a lettuce leaf and gave it to it. Who knows that the hairballs don't look at it, and they still chirp. I thought about it, picked up a slice of mutton and gave it to it, and the hairball ate two bites, but I was not satisfied.
That's a problem. It's still so small, it's really going to grow up in the future, what to feed it.
In his mind, Huang Xiaotian suddenly spoke: "Little golden boy, the hairball is a spiritual thing, you can't feed it with ordinary things, otherwise you will eat the fireworks in the world for a long time, and the spirituality on its body will disappear after a long time." ”
"So what should be fed?" I asked.
"Snow lotus, ginseng, all kinds of spiritual things." Huang Xiaotian said.
I grimaced: "Where can I find these things?" ”
"It's on the recipe." Huang Xiaotian smiled evilly.
I looked at the recipe of the hot pot restaurant, and sure enough, the price of ginseng was clearly marked on it, which is the specialty of their restaurant, the so-called medicinal food base. The price is ridiculously expensive, enough for me to eat for half a month.
Hearing the hairballs chirping, I gritted my teeth and called the waiters to serve them a medicated meal meal. After a short time, the bottom of the pot was changed, and a small plate of ginseng whiskers was delivered. I looked at others and didn't pay attention, so I took the ginseng whisker and put it in my pocket, and the hairball really grabbed it and gnawed it.
I can feel that I am still not very satisfied, but it is better than nothing. I wiped my sweat, this little guy is really a mouthful, it's harder than serving my father.
Huang Xiaotian sighed: "It's no wonder that the ginseng here is so cheap, it was originally planted, and it is best to find wild ones to feed the hairballs." ”
"Oh my mother," I was dumbfounded, "how much is wild ginseng." Besides, is there now, the damage to the natural environment is so serious, where to buy. ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "In the future, if you go out smoothly, the level of people you know will gradually improve, and then you will know how narrow your vision is now." As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be bought. ”
"Don't talk about the future, just talk about the present, how to raise hairballs."
"It's still small," Huang Xiaotian said to me, "these ginseng mustaches are enough for it to eat for a month." Let's take one step at a time, and then figure it out. I estimate that in a month, you will be able to open your mind, and then you will be able to make money. ”
My mouth was full of bitterness: "I don't earn enough money to support it." ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "Yours should come out of the old concept as soon as possible and replace it with a new concept of consumption, and there will be more places to spend money in the future." Let's work hard to earn money. ”
I argued, "I came out to benefit all sentient beings, not to make money." ”
Huang Xiaotian sneered: "You can pull it down." The people who purify sentient beings are either great Buddhas or wealthy people, and I have never heard of a beggar who went to purify sentient beings. The more powerful you are and the more resources you have, the more people you can save. ”
I nodded, and it was the same thing.
The hairball ate half of the whiskers, and finally couldn't eat anymore, so she shrunk into my coat pocket and fell asleep.
I also ate almost the same amount and asked the waiter to pack the ginseng. I didn't want to eat a bite of these ginsengs, and I kept them all for the hairballs, not because I didn't want to eat them, but because I really couldn't afford to eat them.
When everything was done, I boarded the high-speed train home. When I got out of the train station, I felt that the air in my hometown was sweet.
Huang Xiaotian said: "Little golden boy, the next very important job is to open the knack, also known as the knack." It's best to find a place where you can retreat, no one to disturb you, at least for a week. ”
I thought about it carefully, not to mention, there really is a place, and that is the wooden house behind the forbidden area of the forest farm. But if you think about it, you can't do it, not to mention how to enter the mountain, even if you get to that place smoothly, the surroundings are not very peaceful. The strange man in the ghost hall may still be wandering, and there are many bobcats and beasts in the mountains, so they can't bother.
Let's go back to the village first, and think about it in the long run.
I took the car back to the village, and as soon as I entered the yard, I saw my grandfather packing up the mountain goods. I almost burst into tears, I was over seventy years old, and now I was still working alone at home and abroad. A young man like me, I can't help at all, and I just add chaos to my family.
I hurried over: "Grandpa, I'm back." ”
Grandpa was very happy to see me, he suppressed that joy, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Okay, come back!" Hurry up and wash your hands and help grandpa clean up. ”
I said yes and went back to the house, saw the familiar furnishings at home, recalled this trip to Jilin, and suddenly felt like a big dream.
I washed my hands and went to the yard to help my grandfather. Grandpa looked at me: "Little boy, why are you so good-looking, your brain is bright, how about going out this time, the harvest is quite big?" ”
I giggled: "Grandpa, this time I went out to Jilin, I met an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he was conditioning my body." The yin poison in me is almost gone. "My experience is so shocking that it's better not to let his old man know.
Grandpa heard me say this, looked up and down, and his tone was happy: "This is good, grandpa can be regarded as relieved." Who is that old Chinese medicine doctor, we have to remember our kindness and repay him in the future. ”
I smiled secretly and told him, "Grandpa, the old Chinese medicine doctor is a woman. ”
The two of us were talking and laughing, and at this time a van stopped at the door, and a black fat man got out of the car and walked into the yard: "Brother Feng, I'm here to collect the mountain goods, how about this batch of goods." ”
Grandpa told me in a low voice that this person's name was Hei Da Zhuang, and he was an ethnic minority. He is shrewd and has a wide range of contacts, and has opened a new branch in the town, specializing in collecting mountain goods and wholesale medicinal materials, and the price is very fair.
Grandpa beckoned him in and showed him the mountain goods dried in the yard.
Hei Dazhuang is very knowledgeable, picked up a few and looked at them, touched the fungus and looked at the mushrooms, and sighed vigorously, saying that your village is really relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the quality of the mountain goods is very good, all of them are wild, and they can definitely be sold for a lot of money.
Grandpa said, "It's winter, and there's nothing in the mountains." This is the last batch of goods, and we will have to wait for next year to receive it. ”
The two chatted for a while, and when Hei Dazhuang saw me, his grandfather hurriedly introduced me, saying that this is my grandson, named Feng Ziwang.
I shook hands with him, and Hei Dazhuang said with appreciation: "Brother Feng, your grandson is a character, I will meet him, and this young man is unusual at first glance." ”
At this time, there was a sudden "chirp", and the hairball in my pocket actually woke up, poked out half of my head from my pocket, stretched out my little paws, and pointed at Hei Dazhuang.
