Chapter 43: The Soul's Desire

Everyone's nervousness was dispelled by Yiqing's "prank", and after packing up their things, they were still wandering around early.

The white skin of the temple wall has been mottled, revealing the blue stone bricks inside, and the base of the wall is covered with moss and faintly hidden in the messy weeds; The roof of the temple is made of red mud tiles, and the different shades of color show the age and many repairs.

Inside the main hall, there is no other decoration except for the enshrined clay sculpture, Yi Qing tried to identify the introduction of the clay sculpture next to the standing, you can use a small seal, Yi Qing only recognizes one word.

"This is dedicated to Green Tara, who in Tibetan Buddhism is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, also known as Dora Bodhisattva, Dora Goddess of Mercy." It was the one-eyed old man who spoke, and I don't know when he stood behind a few people, and the heart of the bunting was scared to come out! Holding his chest and panting.

Unmoved, the old man continued: "Tara has many different manifestations, all of which are the incarnations of Avalokiteshvara, and Green Tara is the main deity of all Tara, taking all the merits of the other twenty incarnations and saving eight kinds of suffering: lion tribulation, elephant tribulation, snake tribulation, water calamity, prison calamity, thief tribulation, and inhuman tribulation. At the same time, it can also transform the "doubts" of human greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and doubt into the wisdom of ultimate perfection, and have the merit of protecting women and children. ”

It turned out to be Tantra, in ancient India and Tibet, the Tara method was very prosperous, many great virtues have made Tara rituals, and there are many people who believe in Tara like those who believe in Manjushri and Guanyin Bodhisattva, while in Han China, the Tara method is not very prosperous, so there are not too many people who believe in Tara.

"The Guru is polite!" Yi Qing said respectfully: "We don't understand the rules, and we hope that the master will forgive." ”

The one-eyed old man gently brushed Yiqing's face towel with his only remaining eye, and said: "Everything is cause and effect, the girl is here for refuge, you must know that it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, everything is suffering, please have mercy on the girl!" ”

After listening to the old man's words, Yiqing had a splitting headache, and fainted after screaming, Yilan hurriedly helped her and said, "Please also ask the master to guide me and save my sister's life!" ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, let her sleep, take care of her spirits, she is tired on Halloween!" ”

……

Yiqing fell asleep all day, the three girls took turns to take care of her, and the old man was also busy preparing something.

Soon the third day was the seventh and a half months, Yiqing woke up early, and when they came together, they shouted that they were only hungry, and the old man forbade the three girls to feed her anything, but only asked them to prepare some honey water, and instructed everyone: "If you want her to be more comfortable for a while, you are only allowed to drink this, and then you can eat and drink normally tomorrow." ”

At night, Yi Qing was arranged into a room with Green Tara Thangka hanging on the wall, and a few small oil lamps were lit on the table, and the three girls were afraid to be alone, so they asked to go in and out with Yi Qing and share the same room, and the dim hut suddenly became crowded.

The old man took the banknote, stood in front of the three girls, and said, "You record for her, don't make any noise, and whoever is timid should tell me now." ”

The bunting raised his hand in resignation, and the old man reached out and shone on the neck of the bunting, and the bunting fell crookedly on the chair.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, the old man explained: "The situation will be extremely terrible for a while, let the timid let her sleep!" ”

Yilan was holding a brush, the little peach was grinding, Yiqing was sitting on a chair far away from the two, and the three of them were nervous.

"Smack...... Syllable...... "Someone outside is knocking on ...... door!" The closed door began to shake.

A few people held their breath, their hearts were uneasy: they had already visited the temple in the past few days, and they had not found anyone else staying in it, so now they are knocking on the door...... Yilan almost couldn't hold the brush in his hand, and Xiao Taohong had experienced it for the second time, and she was still open.

"Holy and beautiful emerald green body, with a kind demeanor and deep eyes, half stranded hair, fragrant chrysanthemum ornaments. The colorful silk is the dress, as if the rainbow covers the green peak, the left leg sits cross-legged and the right half extended, the chest is wide and the waist is slightly tilted to the left. Holding a blue chrysanthemum on his chest with his left hand, and a blessing seal on his knee with his right hand, the whole body is transparent and fragrant, and the light shines all over the world......" The old man read in a low voice, clothed with rituals, and instructed Yilan and Xiao Taohong: "Don't make a sound, you carefully record the wishes of each soul, otherwise the ghost will haunt you." ”

Every soul? The three of them exclaimed in their hearts, and together they envied the fainted bunting.

The old man picked up a rough homemade cigarette, lit the fire, took a deep puff, and slowly spit out the white of his eyes, and the smoke screen slowly spread towards Yiqing's body as if he had a self-will.

The knocking on the door outside gradually diminished, eventually disappearing.

"Broken!" The old man drank it!

I saw that the thin smoke that was originally firmly bound to Yiqing's body slowly dispersed, and Yiqing suddenly felt relaxed and willpower gradually dispersed to all around...... Yiqing stretched out her hands, but only saw a faint layer of smoke.

"Interesting! Girl, you're in a hurry! The old man said suddenly, pouring the ashes of the incense offering Tara on the ground, and Yi Qing's shadow was no longer dissipating, "You hurry up and ask these souls about their wishes, since others can't hear the words of living beings, you must repeat them and let them record them!" And you don't have much time, don't talk nonsense! ”

Little Peach didn't dare to look at the shadows in the room, desperately lowered her head, and numbed her nervous brain by grinding movements.

Yi Lan was the same, he didn't dare to pant loudly, for fear of disturbing any soul.

Yi Qing looked at her hands that were no longer loose, settled down, looked at the nearest shadow, and asked, "You can hear me, right?" ”

Shadow nodded, and Yiqing continued to ask, "Please tell me your most urgent wish, and I will try to help you achieve it." ”

The shadows began to take on different shapes, and the surrounding spirits cooperated with the demonstration, and Yiqing opened her eyes wide and tried her best to remember each image......

"Sister, this soul is a prisoner in Qinghe County, he was arrested and imprisoned for gambling, and only after his death did he know that it was his own brother's bureau, he wanted us to help his daughter-in-law find the silver he buried before he died, he didn't ask for revenge, he just wanted his son and wife to live well."

"This soul is the grandfather of Taiping Town, who only had a daughter when he was over half a hundred years old, and then he died of illness, leaving behind a daughter who was a few years old...... He wants us to help raise him, the alimony and dowry money are in the hands of his godson, and the old grandfather's will is sandwiched under the bed, so that we can find it first, lest his godson not admit it. ”

"This soul is a mother, and her only daughter is fortunate enough to marry a big family as the main family, but she has not been pregnant for three years, and she wants us to help her get pregnant......"

“…… This is also a request for the ...... of wanting to get your daughter pregnant."

“…… This is for my father's doctor, and the address is ......."

“…… This is still a request for a daughter-in-law to get pregnant......"

"This soul child is nowhere to be found before his death, and he wants us to help find the ...... who recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors."

"This soul is the daughter of the Wang family, and when she eloped with a scholar, she found that she had been deceived...... The daughter wanted to escape, but was beaten to death by the wrong hand of the scholar, she wanted us to help her slowly torture the scholar to death, not to go through the official route, lest her parents lose face......"

……

"The last one, this soul is ......" This soul is Ying Wanjun, Yiqing was bitter in her heart, but she didn't know how to ask.

Ying Wanjun's soul did not change like other souls, but smiled at Yiqing, Yiqing opened her mouth, but was stopped by the shadow, and said: "My wish is that my father and mother love me, and now I am accompanying my mother below, and you are accompanying my father above, it's good......"

"Then ......" Yiqing didn't know how to answer, and Ying Wanjun's soul said again: "I used to embroider a purse for my father, and then I was ...... My father doesn't love me anymore...... The purse is not finished yet, you can help me give it to him, tell my father, I know he loves me, and I love him. ”

"He's always thinking about you......" Yiqing said.

Ying Wanjun's shadow lit up and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Boom...... Gurg...... ...... rooster crowed outside, and all the shadows fell to the ground instantly, as if a gust of wind, many souls drilled desperately into Yiqing's body, and the severe pain made Yiqing breathless, and there seemed to be many hands in her body, constantly pulling her soul out, and many different faces gradually appeared in front of Yiqing's eyes......

Yiqing finally fainted again.

The old man let out a long breath and said tiredly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's good that the rooster crows in time!" The old man almost couldn't stand still, and Little Peach hurried over to help.

"I'm fine, you go and cook me some good food, I want to get a good night's sleep first", the old man waved his hand to stop, and then added: "Buy me some more big fish and meat, go to the market and buy the kind that is made, don't make it with live fish and shrimp!" Oh, by the way, you'd better wash it with grapefruit leaves with less hot water before you go back, especially her! The finger pointed to Yiqing, who fainted on the seat.

Everyone has seen the old man's true skills and is very respectful to him, and Yilan, who has the best cooking skills, decided to cook for the old man to improve the food himself!

Bunting woke up and asked, "Old man, aren't you taking care of the temple?" Why do you still eat meat and drink alcohol? ”

"By the way, get some more wine, and ask for the strongest burning knife!" The old man did not answer, and added to the others.

Little Peach boiled hot water and prepared bath water for a few people.

Bunting just woke up, with a sore head, and Xiao Taohong helped Yiqing into the bathtub together: not much, the water in the bathtub became fishy and black, and in contrast to the black water, Yiqing's skin gradually became delicate, and the disgusting rancid smell of the past gradually faded.

The two were ecstatic, and after changing the bath water for Yiqing a few times, the bath water gradually became clear, and Yiqing's skin also became the appearance of a girl who should be twelve or thirteen years old: smooth, delicate, and full of girlish luster.
