Chapter 31: Answers
This guqin song made me grief-stricken. I'm not very old, I'm in my early twenties, but I've had a lot of things, my family is dead, my sister has been kidnapped, I'm sick and I'm blind again...... Everything came to me like a storm of piano sounds.
In the sound of the piano, I seemed to turn into a small sampan, drifting with the tide in the turbid waves and wind.
I burst into tears, trying to grab the girl's hand, but I couldn't. At this time, her soft voice sounded in her ears: "It's dawn, we're leaving, let's see you again." ”
I was in a hurry, the reason why I was able to survive this night in such a terrible sound was entirely because of her, she was by my side and I was steady, I hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me what your name is?" ”
"My name is Hu Zhenzhen." Her voice faded away.
"Which zhen?" I asked.
"Three points of water, the water of the water." Her voice faded into the distance.
Then all the sounds died down, and I sat on the floor in a daze, though I still couldn't see anything in front of me, it was black, and I probably felt that it was morning. The air is fresh, there are faint birds chirping around, and everything is so vibrant.
At this time, someone suddenly held me up, and a voice sounded in my ears: "Hey, Feng Ziwang, why did you come here?" ”
Hearing that the voice was Wu Shouxiang, I hurriedly said, "Uncle Wu, is it you, I, I can't see it." ”
The man didn't speak, but I could feel his breathing near, and the hairs on my face stood on end, and I suddenly realized that he must be reaching out in front of his face and shaking it, observing my eyes.
He helped me up: "Xiao Feng, this is not where you should come, I'll send you out first." ”
As we walked out together, we could feel that the ground was potholed, and it was quite difficult to walk. I wondered a little if the route had changed when I came last night, and it was a long corridor that wasn't so difficult to walk through.
"Where are we?" I asked.
Wu Shouxiang hesitated for a long time before saying: "This place is called Fox Garden, in the apse. The enshrinements are all these fox immortals of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Family. This place is forbidden and we don't open it to the public. ”
"Then who are the people I met last night...... "I can't think about it, are they all vixens?"
"What happened to you last night?" Wu Shouxiang asked.
I told Wu Shouxiang about the sudden light out when I was copying the scriptures last night, and then I went blind, and I was led away for a long time, and when I arrived at this place, I told Wu Shouxiang about listening to the music all night.
Wu Shouxiang was speechless for a long time, and he gasped heavily: "Good guy, are you really from an extraordinary background?" It's been a long time since I've heard of anything like this. ”
"What the hell is going on?" I asked.
Wu Shouxiang said: "The banquet you attended last night is likely to be the banquet of the fox fairy, which means that you have successfully channeled." Ordinary people can perceive the existence of yin at most, but you are too unbelievable, and you have directly become the guest of honor of the fox fairy. The grandmother last night is likely to be Mrs. Hu San, the wife of Mrs. Hu San, the general leader of our Northeast Ma Xian. When you encounter this miracle, you don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse. ”
I actually had a hunch that they were fox fairies. I think of Hu Zhenzhen, no wonder she knows Hu Tingting, both of them are fox spirits.
But this Hu Zhenzhen doesn't feel like a bad person, so gentle and considerate, and she speaks for me, when I think of the softness and delicacy of her little hands, I can't help but feel ape.
Wu Shouxiang said: "Look at your obscene expression, did you see a beautiful woman last night?" ”
I quickly got up serious and coughed: "Uncle Wu, what about my eyes?" ”
Wu Shouxiang said: "This thing is very strange, you can be psychic but you can't see spiritual things...... In this way, it is likely that the ghost covers your eyes, and after you go back, I will soak your eyes in grapefruit leaves to wash your eyes and see if it works. ”
I followed him for a long time, and I didn't know where he was taking me, when I heard him shouting, "Bring me some grapefruit leaves, old woman." ”
This was followed by the sound of water. Then someone pressed my head, and an old lady scolded me: "Bow your head and wash your face!" ”
I quickly reached into the basin and washed my face desperately with water, focusing on my eyes. After taking a breath, there was gradually a sense of light in front of me, and I was happy, as if I had slept all night, and my eyes were hazy in the morning and washed away the eye feces.
After washing for a long time, my eyes regained my vision, I was refreshed, and I was about to wash again, but the old lady was impatient next to me: "Okay, okay, you haven't washed your face for a few days, this water makes you wash this dirty." ”
I raised my head, wiped my face, and saw that the girl next to me was the woman who carried a lantern to deliver food at night, it turned out that she was Wu Shouxiang's wife, these two people were really enough, and opened a fox fairy's dojo into a husband-and-wife shop.
Wu Shouxiang came in from outside with a cigarette in his mouth: "What's the matter, do you see it?" ”
I quickly nodded and smiled: "Yuzu water is really good." ”
"This thing goes to bad luck and ward off evil spirits, and it can wash away the ghosts and cover the eyes." Wu Shouxiang said: "Let's go, follow me to the front hall, Lao Cheng will come in a while, I have to hand you over to him as you are." ”
I hurriedly grabbed him: "Uncle Wu, this matter is not urgent, I have a reluctant request." ”
Wu Shouxiang looked at me.
"Can you take me to the fox park just now?" I say.
Wu Shouxiang looked vigilant: "What do you want to do?" ”
I thought about Hu Zhenzhen in my heart, holding the illusion, now that my eyes can see things, can I see her? Even if there is one in ten thousand hopes, I want to see what this fox girl looks like. Otherwise, my heart is itchy, and I won't be able to live a good life when I go back.
Of course, I can't say this to Wu Shouxiang, I made up an excuse to see with my own eyes where I spent last night.
Wu Shouxiang was a hundred unwilling, saying that he would not take me with him, he told me that I was at the banquet of the fox fairy last night, and it was a fluke to be able to come back alive. Shemales have different paths, and that place doesn't mean you can go if you want to. If everyone can go, why make it a forbidden area.
He said that if you really want to go and see, you have to wait for your cultivation to be successful in the future, and you have to find a monk to tattoo the scriptures on you, so that you can't be disturbed by the yin and evil monsters.
I was a little unhappy when I said later: "Then Uncle Wu, how can you go?" ”
Wu Shouxiang said "hey": "Can you compare with me?" "He took off his clothes, and inside was a vest, revealing two bare arms, and I saw that there were scriptures on his right arm, and if you looked closely, they were traditional characters, these words were of different sizes, bright red, and they were arranged in a very regular manner, and the largest words were "Guanzi Bodhisattva".
Wu Shouxiang put on his clothes: "This is called the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra. The fox fairy dojo is very evil, often walking here, inevitably dealing with spirits, often in contact if there is no point of practice, no mana support, it is easy to have an accident after a long time. Xiao Feng, if you really want to go to the Fox Garden and deal with those spirits openly, then practice hard. ”
I had to dismiss my mind. I'm in my twenties, and I've met some girls, but no one has such a deep memory as Hu Zhenzhen. We don't have any skin-to-skin relationship, it's just a little hand, but the scene where she came forward to persuade Mrs. Hu San for me last night was too touching.
I smacked my lips, so I had to follow Wu Shouxiang out and go to the front hall. I originally wanted to go back to Moyuan and say goodbye to the fat man who had a relationship with one side, but I really wanted to say goodbye deliberately, but it broke the atmosphere of this fate and extinction, and Hu Zhenzhen was the same, if there is a fate in the future, we will definitely meet.
When I arrived at the front hall, under the guidance of Wu Shouxiang, I put three sticks of incense on the nine-tailed spirit fox. After all, when you go to its dojo, you are enlightened and listen to the piano, which is also the grace of the fox fairy, so you should be grateful.
After waiting for a while, Cheng Shi came down from the mountain, he saw me, he was a little stunned, and then smiled: "The complexion is good, it looks very smooth." ”
Wu Shouxiang briefly talked about the experience of being taken to the fox garden to listen to the piano last night. Cheng Shi didn't inquire carefully, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." Xiao Feng, you are ready to leave the school now, but before going down the mountain, I have one last question for you. ”
I became serious: "Teacher Cheng, please ask." ”
Cheng Shi said: "Along the way, you listened to my experience, and then went to Moyuan to copy the scriptures, and then there was a strange thing about a night of psychic. Then I have to ask you, where do you say wisdom comes from? ”
I was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "That's a big problem." ”
"Or rather, what is the meaning of life?" Cheng Shi asked: "You can say whatever you think." The threshold of this question is not in the question itself, but in you, you are the answer. ”
I stood on the main hall, with Wu Shouxiang and Cheng Shi beside me, and the statue of the nine-tailed spirit fox behind me, and there was silence around me. I thought for a moment and said, "Human life is to find meaning in suffering, and wisdom is to gain from suffering." ”
Wu Shouxiang and Cheng Shi looked at each other and smiled.
Cheng Shi said: "There is Huigen. Although extreme, it does not lose its spirituality. Let me tell you a story, there was a prince in India who was dressed in fine clothes, and one day he heard a woman playing a mysterious tune somewhere in the palace, and he followed the sound to find it, and saw a masked woman playing ancient music on the high platform. The woman told him that the song came from a distant land, and that she was reminiscing about her childhood homeland, the mountains, the lakes...... The prince was completely fascinated, listened to it for a long time, and said that there was something in the piece that he had never heard before. The woman told him that it was suffering, which was also called suffering, that it was the birth, old age, sickness and death of man, the displacement of man's homeland, and the separation of man's wife. Later, this prince began to comprehend the true meaning of suffering, and then he became the Buddha. ”
I was stunned, remembering the sound of the piano last night, and unconsciously my eyes turned red.
Cheng Shi patted me: "Xiao Feng, this is the answer that Mother-in-law Fengyan needs, you have realized it." ”
