Chapter 9: The Sudden Acceptance of Disciples
Grandpa's attitude changed very suddenly, and I couldn't react for a while, so I was dragged away by my grandfather.
"But grandpa, didn't you say before that the only way to save my ghost daughter-in-law is here?" I followed my grandfather in confusion, I remember my grandfather's words clearly, and my grandfather's expression was quite firm along the way.
But why did his attitude change 360 degrees immediately after seeing this old Taoist priest?
"Don't worry, grandpa will definitely think of another way for you." Grandpa insisted on leaving.
However, at this time, the old Taoist priest behind us recited "Amitayus Buddha", and then he spoke, "Senior brother, you should know that at least in this place, the only one who can save that female ghost is me, and that female ghost only has ten days to live, where do you want to save her?" It's just a ghost life for your benefactor. ”
As soon as the old Taoist priest said this, his grandfather, who was still anxious to leave, couldn't help but stop.
He frowned and looked at the old Taoist priest, then at me, and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the old Taoist priest.
"God bless, come here." The old Taoist priest beckoned to me, and he always had a kind smile on his face.
Looking at his appearance, I subconsciously wanted to go over, but at this time I still glanced at my grandfather provocatively, and he sighed helplessly, waved his hand at me, and said, "Go ahead." ”
With my grandfather's words, I walked over slowly.
The old Taoist priest gently stroked my forehead and asked kindly, "God bless, do you want to save your ghost daughter-in-law?" ”
I almost didn't think about it, so I replied, "I think." ”
"Then you're ......"
"No, senior brother, you should know, you ...... now" Grandpa directly interrupted the old Taoist priest's words, but he said this, but he couldn't help but say it anymore.
"Time is also fate, everything has its own fixed number in the dark, why do you need to be so mindful, junior brother, for you and me, it is just a relief."
After the grandfather heard this, he didn't speak, but his expression was extremely entangled, he sighed, and said that if he had known that this was the case, he would not have come here to look for him, it was he who hurt his senior brother.
I looked at these two old people who played dumb riddles in puzzles, and wondered in my heart, could it be that what could happen to my ghost daughter-in-law to save me?
"Come in."
The old Taoist priest welcomed us into the Taoist temple, which was different from when I first came here, and the Taoist temple looked extremely dilapidated, and it looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time.
"Grandpa Dao Chief, where are your apprentices?"
The old Taoist elder smiled, but there was some bitterness in his voice, "Most of them have 'left', and I will let them go as long as the remaining ones." ”
He used the word "go", but I was confused and a little confused as to what it meant.
At this time, Grandpa suddenly looked up at the towering black statue, and subconsciously asked, "Is it ......?"
"Yes, yes." The old Taoist shook off the dust and said indifferently.
He then sat down on the futon, looked at me, and then asked, "God bless, let me ask you again, do you really want to save your ghost daughter-in-law?" ”
Although I don't understand why he has to confirm it again and again, could it be that my determination is not strong enough? But I nodded and said, "I want to." But when my grandfather heard this, he sighed and turned to look out the door.
"Okay, you kneel down for me now, kowtow three times, recognize me as a master, and I will save your ghost daughter-in-law."
I was shocked in my heart, I never thought that this old Taoist priest who was about to die would take me as an apprentice, I couldn't help but think in my heart, could it be that I am the legendary Taoist wizard? After this old Taoist priest saw me, he fell in love with his talents?
"But I also want to tell you in advance, cultivators, five disadvantages and three deficiencies are inevitable, once you enter the Dao Gate, this numerology is no longer complete, in order to save your ghost daughter-in-law, are you really willing to do this?"
Although I don't understand what the so-called five evils and three deficiencies mean, and I don't understand what the so-called complete and incomplete numerology has on me, what I am doing now is only to save my ghost daughter-in-law.
I subconsciously wanted to nod my head, but at this time I heard an exclamation in my ear.
"No...... Don't, God bless, don't promise him, it's not worth it for your wife to do this, under the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, you will not be a complete person, and there will be many disasters and difficulties in the future. ”
Zhu Huiyuan seems to have an understanding of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and she is eager to stop me at this time, but after all, this is a Taoist temple, and there are Daomen spells to suppress it, with her current weak ghost body, how can she appear in front of me.
"You are my woman, if I can't save you, then am I still a person? If nothing else, you saved my life twice, if it weren't for you, I would have died now, let alone any complete and incomplete person, if you are lost because of me, I will not be able to feel at ease in my life. ”
Hearing me say this, Zhu Huiyuan stopped talking, but there were a few sobbing sounds in my ears from time to time.
I didn't say anything more, I knelt directly in front of the old Taoist, kowtowed three times with a strong "dong dong", and then shouted Master.
The old Taoist seemed to be very happy, and after hearing my shout, he said yes three times in a row, and then I also knew his Taoist name, his name was Ziyun Zhenren, but it was strange to say, when I asked what the name of this Taoist temple was, he smiled and said nothing.
Ziyun Zhenren then took me to the backyard of this temple, there is a waterhole in the distance, I don't know what this waterhole is about, even if it is summer, this waterhole is still cold outside.
"Cure the ghost first and cure the person, that female ghost is your ghost daughter-in-law, attached to you, and it is also because of the resentment spell on your body that it has become so, therefore, for three days from today, you must stay in this cold pool every day, and I will supplement it with acupuncture treatment."
Looking at the cold pool that was constantly bubbling cold, I was a little trembling, and it was estimated that my flesh would be frozen into a popsicle if I didn't keep it.
But thinking that this was for Zhu Huiyuan, I gritted my teeth and climbed in.
This cold pool is not deep, probably after I entered, sitting cross-legged below, able to show a head, as soon as I entered the cold pool, I felt the cold in the cold pool is like a spirit, crazy drill into my body, almost in a blink of an eye, my body into the water are frozen unconscious.
"God bless, persevere, this cold pool is a holy place for practice, if you can persist for three days, your physical fitness will also improve a lot in the future." Grandpa, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke at this time.
I'm gritting my teeth now and holding on, where do I care if my physical fitness can be improved in the future, now I feel that I can survive in the past three days, it's already quite good, and then Ziyun Zhenren began to give me needles, but now my body is numb from the cold, even if he uses a knife on my body, I won't feel anything.
My body was covered with dense silver needles, and then Ziyun Zhenren left with my grandfather and the cloth bag with the yellow talisman.
This walk is three days, during which the two of them never appeared again, if it is a normal time, three days without eating or drinking, I estimate that I can die of unbearable death, but now because of this cold pool, I only have the feeling of cold in my whole body, and the feeling of hunger has become very weak.
I have to say that grandpa did not lie to me, from the next day, I felt that my body seemed to have changed a little after the influence of the cold, such as my original loose muscles, which have become a lot more condensed.
Three days later, Ziyang Zhenren fished me out of the cold pool with my grandfather, there is no way, I am now frozen all over my body and have no strength at all, if I want to climb out of the cold pool by myself, it is definitely more difficult than climbing to the sky.
I also noticed that when I saw my cheap master three days later, he seemed to be a round of age, and if he was on the verge of death when I saw him three days ago, he was already in the near-death stage.
Could it be that she has become the ghost daughter-in-law who saved me, Ziyang Zhenren has spent too much effort?
I suddenly understood why my grandfather was so opposed after seeing Ziyang Zhenren, and I felt extremely guilty in my heart for a while.
"Master, I'm ......"
Ziyang Zhenren seemed to have guessed what I wanted to say, so he shook his head directly, and didn't let me continue, he took me to a side room with a stove burning in it, and slowly my body recovered.
At this time, Ziyang Zhencai took out the cloth bag, but he didn't immediately hand the cloth bag to me, but bit his finger and reluctantly squeezed a little blood out of his finger.
He used the blood to draw a rune on my arm, and then pulled out a yellow rune as if by magic, and I saw his palm shake slightly, and the yellow rune burned automatically.
He set the lit yellow talisman on fire to the cloth bag.
This cloth bag contains the yellow charm that possesses my ghost daughter-in-law, if this cloth bag is ignited, then my female ghost daughter-in-law is not ......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to shout, but I was stopped by a look from my grandfather.
The sack eventually ignited, and the ashes fell onto my arm with the blood charm on it.
At this time, I heard Ziyun Zhenren shouting "E", I suddenly had an illusion, as if something had penetrated into my arm, and at this time, there was a burning sensation from the blood talisman, and I bared my teeth in pain, but fortunately, this process ended quickly, and after Ziyun Zhenren washed the blood talisman on my arm, I was surprised to see that there was a black rune mark on the original blood talisman location.
Ziyun Zhenren told me that my ghost daughter-in-law is in this mark.
