Chapter 61: The Human Heart

As she spoke, Xian'er pointed to a piece of topaz tied to the waist of the female corpse.

The color of Fantianyin is pale yellow between white and yellow, but the jade in front of me looks very unreal, it is really a crystal clear pure yellow, very bright yellow, there is not even a little variegation in it.

Seriously, if Xian'er hadn't said in advance that it was a piece of jade, at first glance, I might have thought it was a piece of yellow plastic.

My master glared at Xian'er: "Who told you that Fantian Seal is made of jade?" ”

Xian'er smiled and faced my master, and pointed to the topaz on the waist of the female corpse and said, "Chai Ye, take a look, is this jade a soul-nourishing jade?" ”

My master snorted through his nose and said, "Yes." What, what do you want? ”

Xian'er didn't speak, but stared at my master with wide eyes, and those eyes were shining with fine light.

"The dead are greater. You can't take the things of a dead man. "My master said these words, but the man came to the female corpse and untied the topaz.

My master put the jade in my hand and said to me, "This piece of soul-nourishing jade was left by me twenty years ago, it is of little use to you, but it is very good for the little fox ghost. But there is a way to remember, our generation often deals with evil corpses, and there will be many opportunities to go to the grave in the future, but you must never take the things of the dead, you can't take anything. ”

When I said this, Master's expression and tone were very serious, and I quickly nodded to Master.

Actually, I didn't understand the meaning of Master's words at that time, and it wasn't until I went down to the tomb that I realized that there were indeed many things that were very attractive to me buried in some unknown ancient tombs.

To be honest, I have no interest in those priceless artifacts, what interests me are some very old artifacts and some ancient scrolls. But when the owner of the tomb buried these magic artifacts and scrolls deep underground, it may have been for some reason that he didn't want these things to reappear.

If these things are taken out of the tomb, the consequences are not as simple as the death of one or two people.

Anyway, I got Master's Soul Nourishing Jade, and the happiest person is Xian'er.

My master said that this piece of jade has been raised on the female corpse for 20 years, and it is already quite spiritual, but the evil qi is also very heavy, and I need to recite the Tao Te Ching to it every day for 100 days before the evil qi on it can be dissolved. In addition, my master also said that this piece of jade can not only nourish the three souls and seven spirits of Xian'er, but also restore some of her skills during her lifetime to a certain extent.

But when Xian'er saw the piece of jade, the only thing she cared about was her appearance. She said that after being nourished by this piece of jade for five or six years, she could get rid of the current appearance of the yellow-haired girl and return to the way she was when she was alive.

She also boasted to me that when she was alive, it was a peerless face, and no woman in the world could compare to her.

But I wondered, wasn't she just a fox when she was alive, can a fox be compared to a human? Foxes have four legs, while humans have only two legs.

Until I came out of the tunnel, I was still feeling strange about it.

After leaving the tomb, my master carefully covered the bed board tightly.

Looking at the simple furnishings in the earthen house, I still came back to my senses a little, when I lived in Wangzhuang, I often came here, at that time my master was still an old firewood, I was still Zuo Kang, but I would never have thought that under this simple earthen house, there was such a dungeon, and there was a living female corpse in it.

Sometimes I wonder if there are many people like my master in this world, and they will also build such a small house somewhere, guarding an ancient crypt that has never been discovered by the world.

After my master covered the door panel, he took Liang Houzai and me out the door, and Chen Daochang sat on the horse in front of the door and waited for us.

The conditions in the village are much better than in the past, and many village roads have been rebuilt and turned into relatively flat concrete roads. Seeing these gray roads, it is difficult for me to remember the village road in the past, but I still remember where each road leads, all these years have passed, no matter how much it is repaired, the village road is still the same as the village road in the past, and it has not changed at all.

I walked slowly in Master's footsteps, and the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong, because as I walked down the road under our feet, it seemed that the end was Widow Liu's house.

As expected, my master really stopped in front of Widow Liu's house, and while knocking on the door, he shouted to the door: "Xiao Liu, borrow some beeswax!" ”

It didn't take long for Widow Liu to come and open the door, and as soon as she saw my master, a very hearty smile appeared on her face: "Uncle Chai, why are you back?" ”

In my impression, when I saw Widow Liu in the past, she always looked at people with slanted eyes, and her big mouth kept talking every time, and the spittle stars flew everywhere, looking like a bitter face.

But now, the smile on her face is not pretentious at all, as if my master's visit is really a very happy thing for her.

My master also smiled at her: "Do you still have beeswax stored at home, I want to borrow some." ”

Widow Liu hurriedly said "Yes", and then turned around and went to the small house in the west, she walked and said in her mouth: "Why don't you borrow it, Uncle Chai is really polite, these bees in our family are all very strong in our family, and they are specially raised by Uncle Chai." ”

I followed Master into the courtyard of Widow Liu's house, only to find that the courtyard of their house was still the same, and the beehives in the corner were still the same as before.

After a while, Widow Liu came out of the house with a ceramic jar and asked my master, "Have you eaten Uncle Chai, or will you eat something at my place?" ”

My master waved his hand, said that he had eaten, and then turned the ceramic jar with his hand, and said to me, "Two catties of beeswax, remember, no more, no less, just two catties." ”

I still wondered a little in my heart, what my master told me about this, and when I thought about it, I realized that these beeswax were probably the materials used to refine the blood.

Widow Liu only saw me at this time, and she was very surprised, "Huh? He said, "Isn't this Yangyang?" It's all grown so big. ”

My master patted me on the shoulder and said to Widow Liu, "He is now following me and is my apprentice." ”

Widow Liu let out an "oh", looked at me again, and didn't speak.

But I always felt that she didn't seem to want my master to receive such an apprentice as me, and she looked at me with a little caution.

My master said a brief goodbye to Widow Liu and took me away.

As I was walking on the road, I also asked my master, "Master, are you very familiar with Widow Liu?" After speaking, she didn't forget to add a sentence: "She borrowed a hundred yuan from our family several years ago, and she hasn't paid it back yet." ”

My master suddenly stopped, looked at me and said, "Then do you think Widow Liu is a good person or a bad person?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and responded to Master: "I can't say it, I just think she's quite annoying." ”

Master nodded and said to me with a smile, "Widow Liu is really annoying sometimes. You think she's snarky and takes advantage, right? In fact, it's no wonder that she was a man, her man did a lot of evil in the village back then, but her man's family was powerful, and the people in the village dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but she was a little daughter-in-law, and the evil her man did had nothing to do with her, this kind of thing, the people in the village actually knew it. But when her man died, the family business was ruined, and the villagers poured their grievances on Widow Liu. ”

I wondered, "Why do you want to sprinkle it on her when you know that it has nothing to do with her?" ”

My master looked up in the direction of Widow Liu's house, and his expression became a little helpless: "Resentment is like this. If I give you a grievance, this grievance will be planted in your heart, and you will always want to return it, if you keep holding such thoughts, even if this resentment cannot be spread on me, it will be sprinkled on others. Widow Liu is like this, when the people in the village asked her for trouble, she was orphaned and widowed, so she could only endure it silently. But after the incident passed, she held a breath of resentment in her heart, and it became what she is now, for her, these villagers in the same village owe her, but she is such a character, what others owe her, no matter what, she has to get it back. ”

Master's words are very long, I can only remember a rough idea, I only remember that my master later said, don't look at Widow Liu like this, but if someone treats her well, she will also remember it in her heart, and she can also repay her kindness.

My master also said that when my uncle first started to work on his own, he didn't have enough money on hand and no experience, so he didn't have the money to hire workers after the land was contracted. At that time, Wang Qiang was working as a contractor in the city, and it was Widow Liu who asked him to take someone to help his uncle, in the first half a year, his uncle couldn't make money and couldn't pay his salary, Wang Qiang also thought about urging, but was blocked by Widow Liu.

Because when my parents lent Widow Liu money, they happened to encounter their family's difficulties, and the money was indeed not paid, but my parents never urged it, and she still remembered this kindness. Wang Qiang is very filial, Widow Liu said so, he didn't urge the salary again, so he worked for my uncle for eight months, and during that time, other people's wages were also paid out of Wang Qiang's passbook.

Master said that if it weren't for Widow Liu, my uncle's fortune would be fake, and it would be impossible to get through after all.

Now Wang Qiang and my uncle are partners, my uncle is responsible for going out to negotiate business, he is in the village watching the land, and the two of them are rich together.

Later, I remembered the way Widow Liu looked at me just now, and she was probably reminding herself that she had not forgotten the hatred that the people in the village had brought her.

In fact, if you think about it, Widow Liu is really not a special case, most people are like her, other people's kindness will be remembered in their hearts, but all kinds of hatred will not be forgotten.

When we were about to reach the Mountain of Mass Graves, Master said, "Human nature is very complicated, and many times we can't judge a person simply by 'good or bad'. Including your uncle, it's the same. ”
