Chapter 141: The Folk Do Not Spread Esoteric Techniques
"Hair cutting and borrowing longevity method ......"
Nanshan Muyu said with a puzzled face: "Cutting hair and borrowing longevity? I've never heard of it! ”
Liu Yu looked at the couple and said, "That's right, this is a folk secret art, and it is only recorded in a manuscript of the Ming Dynasty......
After that, Liu Yu told us a story about how this "hair cutting and borrowing longevity method" was practiced in the Ming Dynasty......
At that time, there was a place called Frogeye Village, which was called this because the village was very small in size and had very few people, only a dozen families......
In the village, there is a family surnamed Miao, and the person in charge is an old lady, who has lived for more than eighty years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At that time, this age was already a very long age, and this old lady Miao was also the oldest person in the village.
Whenever someone said to her: "Mrs. Miao, you really live a long life......", Mrs. Miao couldn't close her mouth happily.
Holding his mouth, he said, "Eighty years old is not a long life...... I'm tough now...... It's not hard to live over 100! ”
Every time the people in the village heard Mrs. Miao say this, they all gave her a thumbs up and said, "Okay! May you enjoy your family forever......"
Mrs. Miao always relied on herself to live so old, and she felt very proud!
But one afternoon, Mrs. Miao was resting on the kang in the house, and she saw her wife sitting on the kang, and she felt very incredible, because her wife had been dead for more than ten years.
Mrs. Miao secretly wondered in her heart: This may not be a good sign, maybe he is just waiting for his death so that he can take her away......
For a few days, Mrs. Miao would see her wife sitting there, not saying a word, not looking at herself, just sitting alone.
Finally, one day, Mrs. Miao couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Old man, why are you here?" You come to the house every day, is there something wrong? I'll ask my son and daughter-in-law to burn some paper for you? ”
Mrs. Miao's wife slowly raised her head and said faintly, "I'm here to pick you up......"
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue for Mrs. Miao, she hasn't lived enough! She's about to be in the same house for five generations, how can she just leave? Will she live to be more than a hundred years old?
Mrs. Miao asked, "What time is it?" ”
My wife said, "There are still five days, but I can't wait now, I miss you all these years...... I want to see you soon......"
Mrs. Miao flipped through the calendar hanging on the wall, and she was about to celebrate her eighty-fourth birthday in three days......
It is said that seventy-three and eighty-four are a hurdle, and now it seems that it is indeed true......
Mrs. Miao thought to herself: You dead old man, why don't you expect me to order it......
Although Mrs. Miao also misses this long-lost wife very much, the relationship between the two before her life is still good.
But after all, people and ghosts have different paths, and besides, Mrs. Miao didn't live enough in her heart......
She seems to have stopped until after her death, others talk about herself, "I still say that I can live for more than 100 years, and I am gone for more than 80 years!" ”
Mrs. Miao thought to herself, how could she let herself live for a few more years?
Mrs. Miao said, "Let me tell you the truth, I, I haven't lived enough!" I don't want to go with you! ”
When my wife heard her speak so directly, she sighed and said, "Then I'll go first, I won't come again in the past few days, and I'll pick you up again on the day you arrive......"
When the old man had finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the house......
Mrs. Miao sat on the kang and thought about it for a long time, thinking about whether there was any way to make herself immortal, after all, she had never been sick, and she was in good health, and she could even carry the haystack.
Mrs. Miao fell asleep thinking about it, and that day she had a dream that she had returned to her childhood and was playing in the yard with her brother.
I don't know where my brother got a book with pictures and words, and said mysteriously: "There are a lot of magical things in this book......
Suddenly, Mrs. Miao woke up from her dream, and she recalled that it was not a dream, but something that really happened when she was a child......
She sat cross-legged on the kang, trying to figure out where the book had gone......
Maybe it's really because she's older, and she doesn't remember a lot of the previous things very clearly......
Mrs. Miao was alone, sitting on the kang and thinking about it for most of the night, the sky was already dark, and a little boy ran into Mrs. Miao's house, hugged her legs and said in a milky voice: "Grandma, you can play with me!" ”
This child is the youngest son of Mrs. Miao's grandson......
At this time, how could Mrs. Miao have the heart to play with her children? She said impatiently, "Go! Find your mother! As he spoke, he pushed his little grandson's shoulder with his hand.
This push, although light, the child still did not stand firmly, staggered back a few steps, and hit a large wooden box on the ground!
This wooden box is the dowry of Mrs. Miao, in that era, the girl's dowry was generally some clothes and jewelry, and people at that time used this kind of big wooden box to hold clothes.
The little boy was hit, but he didn't cry, he just walked out with a small mouth.
But Mrs. Miao suddenly remembered that when she got married, her brother seemed to give her the book, but she only regarded the book as a thought for her family and put it at the bottom of the box.
Mrs. Miao excitedly opened the old wooden box that had been sealed for many years, it was an old, but very delicate wooden box, and the lid was also inlaid with copper patterns of dragons and phoenixes, implying that the dragon and phoenix were auspicious.
Mrs. Miao wiped the ash on it with her hands, and carefully opened the wooden lid with delicate patterns.
She took out the stacks of neat clothes from the box, and looked left and right for a while, and many good memories came flooding back to her heart......
Mrs. Miao gently put her clothes on the kang, and finally, at the bottom of the box, she turned out the old book whose pages had turned yellow.
There are six big characters written on the cover: Folk do not pass on secret techniques.
She opened the book and found that it was indeed the book in the hands of her brother in her dreams.
She thought silently in her heart: Brother, thank you for giving me this book, and it is not a waste of the role of the book......
Mrs. Miao slowly opened the book, and the pictures and texts on it were very realistic, making it easy for people to understand.
Mrs. Miao finally saw this spell on the last few pages of the book, which said that it could borrow longevity, called the method of cutting hair and borrowing longevity......
