Chapter 3 Departure
Zhang Guanshan's words stunned me, and the despair in my heart instantly overwhelmed me. I fell to my knees, my hands hanging limply over my chest, and I began to cry. This time, Zhang Guanshan did not say anything to comfort me, but let me vent the fear and anxiety in my heart. After all, I'm only 12 years old, and there's really no other way to vent my emotions than crying. When I had enough of crying, Zhang Guanshan handed me the handkerchief, and I wiped the tears from my face and smiled gratefully at him: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang!" ”
Zhang Guanshan waved his hand lightly and said, "Lin Xi, I know that you are sad in your heart, and I also understand your desire to take revenge. It's just that revenge must be based on one's own strength, otherwise it will be in vain. If you believe in grandpa, then grandpa will teach you the Taoism of my Zhang family, and it will not be too late to take revenge after you have learned it. You...... Would you like to? ”
I knelt in front of Zhang Guanshan with a puff and kowtowed to him three times, "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!" After my head was knocked over, Zhang Guanshan reached out and helped me up, "Lin Xi, you will follow me to learn Taoism in the future, and when you are strong, you will have grievances and revenge!" ”
"Yes, master!" I clenched my fists tightly, and my eyes burst with a resolute light, the person who killed nearly 100 people in Linjia Village will definitely make him pay for his blood debt.
"Lin Xi, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go!" Zhang Guanshan took my hand and walked towards the outside of the village. I looked back at the village that was shrouded in a dead air, my heart was filled with reluctance, and my eyes became moist and hot, I sniffed hard, and said loudly in my heart: "Grandparents, parents, parents, and uncles and aunts in the village, you wait for me to avenge you!" ”
On the way, Zhang Guanshan introduced me to the Taoist inheritance of the Zhang family. The Zhang family lineage is inherited from Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Wudou Rice Sect in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and I still know more about Zhang Daoling, because he practiced in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, and his grandmother believes in Taoism, and he used to tell me his story. Legend has it that he was nine feet three inches long, with thick eyebrows and a large face, red top and green eyes, a tall nose, and three horns in his eyes. Hanging down his hands and knees, with a thick beard, he walks with a dragon and a tiger, which is very powerful. On the day of Zhang Daoling's birth, yellow clouds shrouded the house, and purple gas filled the courtyard. The light in the room is like the sun and the moon shining, and I smell the strange fragrance in the dream, which does not disperse for a long time. Zhang Daoling is the last immortal figure in the history of Chinese mythology, according to legend, he can fly to the sky, turn stones into gold, and the ability to virtualize, that is, after the eight immortals, he is also the last apprentice of Taishang Laojun. In the first year of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (142 AD), Zhang Daoling in order to pass on the Tao in Heming Mountain, claimed that Taishang Laojun came on the fifteenth day of the first month, and personally awarded him a copy of the "Cave Pole Sutra", a jade seal of three or five gongs, two male and female swords, and two Yi to hand over the crown, drive away the evil wind, and pass the sky to simplicity and other things, and asked him to implement the "way of the Zhengyi Alliance" after the completion of the matter, report to Laojun. The believers believed it and spread it everywhere, and the "way of Zhengyi Alliance" soon spread. In July of the second year of Han'an (143 A.D.), Zhang Daoling took his disciple Wang Chang and Dharma tools to Qingcheng Mountain, and subdued the "Six Demon Kings" and "Eight Ghost Shuai", so that Qingcheng Mountain could be quiet, and the mountain people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and asked to join the "Zhengyi Alliance Wei Dao", the mountain people took Zhang Daoling as the teacher of the Tianxing Dao, that is, "Zhang Tianshi", so the "Zhengyi Mengwei Road" is also called "the Tao of the Heavenly Master".
Zhang Guanshan's vein was still living in Sichuan until the Republic of China, but later because of some disagreements with other branches of the Zhang family, Zhang Guanshan's vein moved to Shanghai, and during the Cultural Revolution, Zhang Guanshan's family was persecuted, and Zhang Guanshan saved his life because he had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It's just that in the end, he is the only one left in Zhang Guanshan's vein.
A thick layer of dark clouds hung over Linjia Village, and the black pressure made people's backs chill, and their chests were so stuffy that they couldn't breathe. When we walked out of the boundary of Linjia Village, the gloomy feeling on our bodies disappeared, and there were no dark clouds in the sky. I looked up at Zhang Guanshan with some curiosity, but Zhang Guanshan said slowly as if he knew what I was going to ask: "That's not a dark cloud, but a yin qi or a ghost." People who have not practiced the Dao Technique or Yin-Yang Technique will feel chills down their backs when invaded by these ghost qi, and those who are serious will be seriously ill! ”
I was shocked to hear this. How could the sky above Linjia Village be filled with ghostly aura? This hasn't happened before! Zhang Guanshan seemed to see my doubts, he shook his head lightly and said, "The ghost qi is either the accumulation of resentment left by the person when he died, or there is a powerful ghost who has been here for a long time. And such a thick ghost aura must be a combination of the two! So, Lin Xi, your enemy is very powerful......" Zhang Guanshan's words were not finished, but I already fully understood what he meant. My enemies are strong, and if I can't become strong, then I'm just a drink. At this time, I only feel that there is a fire burning in my heart, and I, Lin Xi, must become a strong man......
We didn't stop in the town and caught the last bus to the county seat. Zhang Guanshan was worried that those people who had killed Linjia Village would come back to find my whereabouts, so he had to follow him back to southern Jiangsu as soon as possible. As long as he arrives in Sunan, he will find a way to make those onmyoji unable to see that my three souls are incomplete.
When I arrived at the county seat, it was already evening. We stayed in a small hotel near the bus station. I had no luggage, and Zhang Guanshan had nothing else except for a small cloth bag on his back. So we don't feel like we're going to go far away. The owner of this inn is a middle-aged man about forty years old, he is not tall, about 1.6 meters, he is very thin, and his eyes are big and bright. He saw that Zhang Guanshan spoke Mandarin and his attitude was very enthusiastic. After all, it is rare to see a person from another province in this small county. After a simple registration, the boss handed a key to Zhang Guanshan, Zhang Guanshan took the key and followed the innkeeper to the door of the room where we were staying, after opening the door, Zhang Guanshan's brows furrowed, stretched out his hand to block my eyes and said to the boss: "Boss, can we change rooms?" ”
The boss nodded politely, and said "Yes!" with a mouthful of Trump! You wait here, I'll get the keys! The boss turned around and walked towards the front desk, and Zhang Guanshan reached out to close the door before letting go of the hand covering my eyes. I looked at Zhang Guanshan suspiciously, and he shook his head at me. I looked at the door, and I saw a wisp of black gas floating out of it, and I immediately felt a chill in my back, there was a ghost in this room......
Soon the innkeeper came with the key, and he led us to the top room, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Boss, this is the only room left!" Do you think Had is okay? ”
Zhang Guanshan looked around the room and nodded with a smile: "It's good, thank you boss!" ”
