Chapter 48: The Compass
"Open the Gate of Heaven?" I am reminded of the experience of the forest farm. The little policeman saw the opening of the gate of heaven, and by the time we all went out, it was already late, and we only saw a gap in the sky. Later, there was a strange man who raised the corpse, and we all speculated that it had something to do with the legendary Open Heaven Gate.
Huang Xiaotian became interested and asked Cheng Hai, do you know what is going on with opening the gate of heaven?
Cheng Hai shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Huang Xiaotian has a characteristic, his face is anxious, he will change when he says it, he snorted: "Then you can talk about an egg." ”
Cheng Haidao: "I don't know the specific situation, but I know a little bit about it." After I died in this life, I became a bardo body, and I remembered some things in my previous life, when I was a little boy next to Mrs. Hu, and I heard about opening the gate of heaven. I don't remember it so clearly, though. This life is Cheng Hai, and I also checked the relevant information when I was alive, coupled with the vague memories of my previous life, I discovered a secret about 'opening the gate of heaven'. ”
Huang Xiaotian didn't speak, looking at him. I urged him to speak.
Cheng Hai said: "The place where the Gate of Heaven is located will definitely echo the land of aura. There is a legend in the Northeast that there should be a cave in the land where the gate of heaven is opened. I remember that the third master Hu mentioned that the legend was left by the eight immortals in this cave. ”
Huang Xiaotian became interested: "I am Huangpizi Chengjing, the most observant, if there are clues, I may be able to find that place...... However, then again, what if we found it, is there an elixir fairy book in it? ”
Cheng Hai smiled: "It's hard to say whether there is an immortal elixir immortal book, but I know that there is a very important thing left in the Eight Immortal Caves, which is a top-secret mantra in Taoist practice about guiding the qi of the body, which can solve the problem of death." The situation of the little golden boy is very bad, the whole body has been sealed, even if he survives the three levels, let you play the trick, it will take a year and a half, and it may not be effective. As long as you find the Taoist guidance secret technique, you can open up the knots of the whole body. ”
Huang Xiaotian slapped his thigh: "Then why didn't you say it earlier." ”
Cheng Hai smiled bitterly: "First, the time has not come, and now we have been forced to the edge of the cliff." Again, it's just a legend. Even if we find that cave, it is unknown whether there is a channeling secret technique in it, as the legend says. All of this is still a legend. No one has ever verified it before. ”
After saying this, Cheng Hai said: "Sect Leader Huang, do you have any other way?" ”
Huang Xiaotian was very satisfied with Cheng Hai's title, and he shook his head: "There is no way." At present, I can't open the knack of the little golden boy. If even I can't open it, I'm afraid that other mortals have no choice but to turn to those ethereal immortals. ”
"Aren't you just a scattered immortal?" I laughed.
Huang Xiaotian said: "How can I compare with other people's immortals!" I still haven't made a human form. You can also see the box that Mother-in-law Fengyan gave you, it is only the hair on my body, my real body is still sitting and practicing in the deep cave, and now I am just out of the body. When it comes to supernatural powers, I and Sect Master Cheng Haicheng are only half a catty or eight taels, and I don't have much ability, it's nothing more than his ghost powers like mental powers, and I can barely see the earth. So," he said earnestly: "Xiao Cheng and I are relying on you now, we are grasshoppers on a vine, we have to accumulate good fortune and good fortune through the hall you opened, so that our Taoism can be sublimated, and then we can transcend the heavenly realm and rank among the immortals." ”
"Then how do you find that cave?" I asked.
Cheng Haidao: "First of all, you have to have a compass. Sect Leader Huang and I cooperated with each other to go to the top of the highest mountain in your village to observe the celestial phenomena and earth qi to determine the approximate location of the cave sky. ”
"Yo, you'll be able to look at the sky." Huang Xiaotian laughed. His attitude towards Cheng Hai is changing.
Cheng Hai said lightly: "Fur, I studied it before I was born. ”
We've got it settled, I'm going to get the compass first. I know who has this thing, it must be Wang Shenxian.
Cheng Hai and Huang Xiaotian told me that now my knack is sealed, they can't get on my body yet, and they can only communicate with me when it's convenient, and this matter should not be known to others as much as possible, first, it has broken through their true bodies, and it is likely to be spied on by people with bad intentions, and second, others are easy to treat me as mentally ill, because only I can hear and see them.
Huang Xiaotian repeatedly instructed me to hide the wooden box handed over to me by my mother-in-law, which contained his eight-character luck, which was very important, and once it was known to outsiders, his Taoism was likely to be wasted, and he would be ruined.
I was a little scared when he told me, and after thinking about it, I could only find a chance to find a place to bury it in the backyard.
Cheng Hai told me that the hours tonight are very good, the sky is bright and the stars are sparse, and you can observe the celestial phenomena. Because the Gate of Heaven has passed for a while, and there are fewer and fewer traces in the sky, if it drags on for a while, I am afraid that there will be no trace of it, and it will be decades before the next time.
I had dinner and went to Wang Shenxian's house. The last time I went, Wang Shenxian took Wang Erdonkey to see things in other places, and now he has returned. The old Wang family is eating in the hall, I went in to say hello, they are all familiar with the face, I and Wang Erdonkey have played since childhood, his family is the same as mine.
Wang Erdonkey's mother beckoned me to eat together, and I laughed and said that I had eaten.
I coughed: "Grandpa Wang, have you eaten well, I'll borrow something." ”
Wang Shenxian put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at me with some doubts in his eyes. He didn't show his face: "What do you want to borrow?" ”
I told him that I wanted to borrow the compass.
Wang Shenxian picked up the cigarette pouch and pot, slowly stuffed the tobacco, and lit it with a lighter: "Okay, follow me." Shi Sheng, you come too. ”
Wang Erdonkey agreed, and we followed Wang Shenxian to the back room together.
This room is his own inner room, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. It was the first time I came in, and the room was full of cigarettes and alcohol, most of which had not been opened, and there were many Buddha statues in the cabinet, including Bodhisattva and Maitreya.
Somehow, as soon as I entered here, I immediately felt a sense that I couldn't put it into words.
This feeling does not come from me, but from Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Hai who follow me. I carried their tokens with me, one was yellow hair and the other was a photo. Their yin gods are attached to it.
The two of them can't show up at will, and they can't get on me now, we can't communicate, but I can feel the emotional changes between the two of them.
I took a deep breath. Wang Shenxian was smoking, "How is it, it's uncomfortable." ”
I was surprised: "Grandpa Wang, how do you know?" ”
Wang Shenxian said: "My room is full of righteous gods, and the light has been opened. Just now the righteous god told me that you have two yin gods in you. ”
Wang Erdonkey's eyes widened and looked at me: "Old Feng, you came in with a ghost?" ”
I coughed: "Don't say it so ugly, that's the sect leader I will come out of the church in the future." ”
"Did you find them?" Wang Erdonkey was happy: "Tell me what's going on, it seems that you have experienced a lot these days." ”
"It's a long story, but I'll talk about it later." I coped, "Grandpa Wang, can you lend me the compass?" ”
Wang Shenxian brought a chair, stepped on the chair to the height of the cabinet, and took down a box from it. When the box was opened, it contained a palm-sized compass with needles as thin as hair, trembling and spinning in circles at the slightest touch.
Wang Shenxian said: "This is what I received in Henan a few years ago, our family does not pay attention to the compass, and no one will look at the terrain, I collect this purely for the collection, how to use it is not very clear, you need to take it first." ”
I took it with a yes, thanked me and turned to leave. Wang Shenxian said: "Don't be busy, lending to you is lending to you, but I want to tell you two things." ”
I hurriedly agreed.
Wang Shenxian said: "Little boy, you are now enlightened and can be psychic, and you will be a fragrant child in the future." You have to promise me that no matter what level you go and what great achievements you have, you will not do evil or be a traitor. ”
"Of course, you can rest assured of my character." I say.
Wang Shenxian said: "There is a second thing, as long as it is related to the netherworld and the opening of your hall, you have to take our family Shisheng to play together, and you can't throw him down." ”
I haven't said anything yet, Wang Er Donkey was dissatisfied first: "Grandpa, I use him to bring it?" In terms of debut time, I can be his master. ”
Wang Shenxian slapped him: "Nonsense. There is no inheritance relationship between you, how can you talk about master and apprentice. Shi Sheng, you have to remember that your talent and physique are good, but after all, you are inheriting our family's ready-made hall, according to the current fashionable words, you are called the rich second generation. And the boy is a serious one of his own. ”
I hesitated: "Grandpa Wang, I can't promise you about this for the time being, I have to discuss it with the two sect masters of the Palm Hall and the Guardian Hall." ”
Wang Shenxian nodded: "It's okay, I won't embarrass you." Take the compass first. ”
My heart moved, and I asked casually, "Grandpa Wang, do you know how to open the gate of heaven?" ”
Wang Shenxian was stunned: "You want a compass just for the sake of Tianmen?" ”
I hurriedly nodded.
Wang Shenxian thought for a while: "I know a little, but not much. The gate of heaven is unpredictable, and it is said that it is the gate of the fairy world, and the good fortune is in it, and all living beings in the world will sense it. One thing you have to understand in your heart is that there are spirits not only for cultivators like us, but also for spirits and evil spirits, such as bulls, ghosts, snakes, gods, scattered immortals, and spirits. You're spying on the gates of heaven, and they're spying on them. Little boy, you haven't even opened the trick now, is it too big a step? ”
"It's a big step, and it's easy to pull eggs." Wang Er Donkey looked at me narrowly.
I smiled bitterly: "Grandpa Wang, I am now on the bow and have to send it, one step forward will die for nine lives, if you stand still and do not move, then there will be death and no life!" ”
