Chapter Twenty-Five: The Three Corpses
On the master's back, there was a coffin-like tattoo, the blood-like red coffin was depicted very realistically, even the texture of the wood on the coffin board was vividly depicted, and there was some black liquid attached to the surface of the coffin, which looked unusually viscous, and seemed to be surging slightly, like freshly boiled cooked asphalt.
Looking at the tattoo on Master's back, I suddenly felt a little excited. Just now my master said that I also have this thing on my back, so that doesn't mean it...... I'm a tattooed person too? At that time, I thought that this kind of thing must be shown to Liu Shangang.
But as if he knew what I was thinking, my master turned his head and said to me with a smile: "This black water corpse coffin, also known as the red-topped black water coffin, is not only the essence of our upright line, but also the secret of our lineage. You can't show it in front of others until you become an adult, and even if you become an adult, others see the coffin behind you, you can't tell others what it is. ”
Although my master had a smile on his face, the tone was completely non-negotiable. I smacked my tongue and quickly dismissed my intention to show off in front of Liu Shangang.
But at that time, I still had a lot of questions in my stomach, and I was silent for a while, and then asked my master, "What is the use of painting this coffin on my back?" ”
Master took a long puff of cigarette and said, "This seal is infinitely useful, and one or two sentences are not clear. You remember the flying zombie I saw this summer, and I was able to stop it at that time, and it was all thanks to this black water corpse coffin mark that we have passed down for generations. ”
When the master said this, I also remembered, at the beginning, my master just put his back on Fei Zhuang's chest, and the Fei Zombie seemed to be frozen, and after that, even if his body was on fire, he didn't move.
Since I mentioned Fei Zhuang, I simply asked some questions that I had left in my heart at the beginning. For example, why did my master stand in front of the window to bask in the sun, so that he peeled off his skin? What the hell is that candle for? And before he went to my house, he said that he asked my mother to prepare some wine and food, and said that he kept these wine and food for use, but why did he eat these wine and food later?
My master did not give a very detailed explanation of these questions, but only said that his Yang God was damaged in his early years, and he had to use the Heavenly Yang Earth Fire to suppress the flying stiffness.
As for the food and drink, no explanation was given at all.
For me at that time, I didn't understand anything about the yang god and the fire of heaven and earth, so I asked the master again: "What is the yang god, do I also have it in me?" My Yang God, will it also be damaged in the future? ”
Looking at my past self with my current eyes, that is, I was at that time, would ask such a childish question.
But after hearing my words, Master's expression became worried, and he said something inexplicable: "There are some things that can only be known after the second coffin planting." ”
Master seemed to say this to me, and it seemed to say it to himself.
After that, Master's eyes became dilated, and I knew that Master had entered a certain meditative state again, and if I spoke again, he would ignore me.
It wasn't until the three sticks of incense in the incense burner were almost finished that Master asked me to bow three times in front of the portraits of the three patriarchs, and then took me out of the house.
At this time, I found that my parents, my mother and my uncle were also here, and my uncle was chatting with the head of Tunmeng, and the two of them seemed to be very close to each other, chatting very happily.
My parents were talking to Senior Brother Feng about something, probably knowing that Senior Brother Feng was the captain of our local criminal police team, and my parents were also very enthusiastic about him, and I also heard my mother say that in the future, I would ask Senior Brother Feng to worry more about my affairs, which made Senior Brother Feng a little embarrassed, but it seemed that the most embarrassing thing was not Senior Brother Feng, but my father.
My parents deliberately got close to Senior Brother Feng, indeed because Senior Brother Feng is from the public family, and he is also the kind of young and promising public family with a bright future, but my father has always been unwilling to ask for help, and the reason why he treats Senior Brother Feng with such an attitude is just so that I can have a better future.
At least, in the days to come, people like Senior Brother Feng will be able to provide me with some help in the future.
When Senior Brother Zhuang saw that my master was taking me out, he ran over and asked Uncle Xia if he could have a banquet, Uncle Xia nodded, and Senior Brother Zhuang ran out of the courtyard very quickly.
Soon after, Senior Brother Zhuang came back and said that the restaurant had contacted him early in the morning and asked the big guy to go to the restaurant for dinner.
My master said that the people of the Soul Village rarely have the opportunity to get together, this meal is not only to celebrate the inheritance of the righteous line, but also the reunion dinner of our people in the Soul Village.
The hotel is a dumpling city not far from the old family's home, at that time, there were many dumpling cities in my hometown, although they were all called "cities", but the scale was large and small, and today, most of the dumpling cities have either changed their doors or simply closed down.
Including the restaurant where the banquet was held on that day, it became a sporting goods store many years ago, so much so that I can't remember what it looked like, but I remember that it was not small in scale at the beginning, and the food was the best among the restaurants in the county. It stands to reason that such a shop should have been more and more prosperous, but it closed down very early, and the reason for this is nothing more than two aspects, on the one hand, luck, and on the other hand, it is probably a problem of feng shui.
Afterwards, I heard Uncle Zhao from Yuxian say that the area where I live is not suitable for business, especially food and drink-related business.
On that day, almost all the people in the Soul Village arrived, and there were three large round tables in the hall of the hotel, all of which were full of our people, and the meal was also very lively.
Liu Shangang also came with his father, and during the meal, he kept asking me how I worshipped the teacher, and said that he had heard that a very grand ceremony was held in the house, and asked me what the ceremony was.
I explained to Liu Shangang that it was kowtowing to incense, as well as tea and planting coffins, and when I said the words "planting coffins", my master suddenly glanced at me.
Later, Liu Shangang asked me what I meant by planting a coffin, and I didn't dare to explain it to him.
Halfway through the meal, my dad and the others were a little drunk, and their voices became louder, and when Liu Shangang and I were talking, almost no one could hear what the other party was saying. Later, my master said to me, "Let's go out and play!" "I just dragged Liu Shangang to the door of the hotel to play.
I still vaguely remember that when Liu Shangang and I were playing at the door of the hotel, Uncle Xia also came out and said something to me, probably because they were all inconsequential things, so I can't remember what Uncle Xia said.
However, there is a sentence that I still remember very clearly, at the door of the hotel, the master said to me: "You keep this line, although you pay attention to a casual nature, but it is not completely unruly." But really speaking, your so-called rules are just four words: 'don't forget your heart', and you have to suffer a lot for these four words. ”
When I said this, Uncle Master kept looking at me meaningfully, and I couldn't understand the meaning in Uncle Master's eyes at that time.
After eating, Uncle Xia and the others were leaving, and Senior Brother Feng drove me and Master to send Uncle Xia and them on the train.
Brother Zhuang also gave me a note before getting on the train, saying that it had his phone number on it, and that I could find him if I encountered any difficulties in the future. Master put away Senior Brother Zhuang's note for me.
Everyone left, and on the platform of the train station, only Master and I were left, as well as Senior Brother Feng, who came to the station together.
Senior Brother Feng stood silently for a long time, until the green shadow of the train completely disappeared into the place where the sky and the track were connected, and he let out a long sigh: "Finally left." ”
said such words, but in Senior Brother Feng's eyes, it was difficult to hide the reluctance.
Master stepped forward and patted Senior Brother Feng on the shoulder: "Your master's body is no longer in serious trouble, don't worry too much." ”
Senior Brother Feng still looked at the direction in which the train was leaving, as if he had lost his mind for a while, and did not respond to my master's words.
As my mom said to me this morning, this day is my big day. My mother was right, this day was indeed my big day, and from this day on, I not only became a disciple of the righteous line, but also stepped into a world that my parents and grandparents never imagined.
It was getting late, and Senior Brother Feng drove Master and me from the train station in the prefecture-level city to our small county seat. On the way, my master couldn't wait to start "teaching" me.
At that time, Senior Brother Feng was driving the car, and my master suddenly asked without a clue: "Youyi, you Yuxian's lineage also want to learn the Three Corpses Technique, right?" ”
Senior Brother Feng nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Learn, when I first started, I either memorized the Three Corpse Recipes or the Tao Te Ching every day, and now, if I don't memorize it for a day, I feel uncomfortable (comfortable) all over my body." ”
My master touched his chin: "Since this is the case, it is not a two-sided exchange." After that, he turned his gaze to me, looked at me very solemnly and said, "Yangyang, I will pass on the three corpses to you now, you must listen to every word carefully, and not a word shall be left behind." Concentration, I began to read: no hesitation, no desire. If you don't want it, you don't want it. Sanpeng is listed in ......"
I don't know what my master thought at the time, but he actually sang ancient Chinese to me, an eight-year-old elementary school student, and asked me to memorize it all word for word. I am indeed very careful in memorizing, but often as soon as my master says this sentence, I immediately forget the previous sentence, and I forget it completely.
