Chapter 40: New Life
The next few days were peaceful.
Every night, Old Man Zuo would go to the village with the wine jar containing Chen Ling and let her meet Sun Sheng.
At about six o'clock in the morning, he returned, yawned and put the jar on the table, and fell asleep on the bed.
There have never been accidents in this process, to be precise, with the old man Zuo, I really don't think there will be any chaos.
Since I saw this old man's "big move" on the day I beat him, my admiration for him has been like a surging river.
One day when I was drinking, I asked him, why do you know so many things? Not to mention the ability to wash grievances, even the mountains and rivers of Kanyu can be played so slippery, what else can't you do?
Hearing my question, the old man Zuo gave an extremely poor answer.
"There's something wrong with what you say, you should ask me, Grandpa Zuo, you don't know anything?" When the old man Zuo said this, his expression was so awesome that he didn't want it, and there was no one who had that kind of cheap smile.
But I have to say, I really believe what Old Man Zuo said.
Up to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, down to feng shui, basically I haven't seen him have it, as for those divinations, I haven't tried this yet, and I must try him if I have the chance.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!
Old man Zuo's ability is so great, if I don't take the opportunity to get some oil and water, won't it be a loss?!
It costs dozens of dollars to tell your fortune on the stall!
Soon, it was time for us to go home, which was also the day after Sun Sheng and Chen Ling's first seven days.
That morning, as soon as I got up from bed, I was yawning, and at a glance I saw the old man Zuo holding a brush dipped in cinnabar, with a cigarette in his mouth, silently copying something on the paper.
I yawned and walked over to take a look, only to see that the old man Zuo had copied the Sutra of Evil.
"Why do you want to copy it with a brush, don't you feel tired?"
"The sin of resentment is no better than ordinary injustice, it is reliable to copy cinnabar, you also learn a little, by the way, practice calligraphy, don't lose the things handed down by the ancestors." The old man Zuo smiled, copied the scriptures without raising his head, and said to the wine jar next to him: "What should be done, we haven't left anything behind, what should you do next, you know in your heart." ”
"Thank you." Chen Ling's tone was much better than at the beginning, and she was polite when she spoke, and it seemed that she was also thanking Old Man Zuo from the bottom of her heart.
"You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Changshan, this rabbit cub." The old man Zuo smiled: "My old man, my heart is very bad, if it weren't for him, I would have beaten you to pieces." ”
Chen Ling laughed rarely, didn't say anything, and didn't mean to be angry.
After a while, the old man Zuo picked up the copied Sutra of Evil, pasted it on the red cloth lid of the wine jar, and then took out a chicken blood rope from his pocket and tied the jar tightly.
"Why do I feel a little sleepy" Chen Ling's voice came out of the jar, and listening to this voice, it seemed to be much duller than the previous voice.
"The injustices that have been pressed by the Evil Sutra are all this feeling." Old man Zuo smiled, turned his head and said to me: "The old rule, go back and take tribute incense to offer, the sin of resentment is no better than ordinary injustice, to say the least, it will take three or five years to get through." ”
"It's been so long," I frowned.
"This is quite fast, with your ability, it won't take ten years to count you lucky." Old man Zuo sneered: "At the beginning, your grandfather's nickname was Huo Zhong Kui, saying that there was no injustice that he couldn't overcome, if he was allowed to do this, at most one year, he would be able to reincarnate the injustice." ”
"Is that much of a difference?" I couldn't figure it out: "According to what you said, my grandfather and I should be using the same old routine, why can he pay for his injustice so quickly?" ”
Old man Zuo sighed: "Are you brainless?" Didn't I tell you about such a thing as the cultivation realm? ”
Hearing this, I nodded, but my expression was still very puzzled, and I said in my heart, what does this have to do with the cultivation realm?
According to Old Man Zuo, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, exorcism and suppression of evil spirits are only low-level things after all, and high-level things are focused on spiritual and ideological cultivation.
Let's take the Taoist Taishang Laojun Li Er as an example.
After all, he was just a thinker and philosopher, not a Taoist priest with advanced Taoism.
Those spells to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits were not invented by him, they were all figured out little by little by later generations of disciples.
But that's it, he is still revered as a god, and later generations of disciples use his name to draw talismans, the same can drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and settle down in the town.
Why is that?
The answer is very simple, his ideological realm has surpassed ordinary people by much, much.
In Old Man Zuo's explanation, the realm of human thought has reached a height, which can produce inexplicable power, which cannot be explained by science, and metaphysics cannot be explained.
Taoist thought focuses on self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and is quiet and inactive.
Buddhism, on the other hand, focuses on saving others and oneself and becoming enlightened Buddha.
As for the line of clearing grievances
"Just four words." Old man Zuo paused, looked at me deeply, and said, "Repay grievances with virtue." ”
"I know what it means, but"
Before I could finish speaking, Old Man Zuo interrupted me and waved his hand angrily: "How old do you know the toad at the bottom of the well?" The ideological realm is not something you can have if you understand it, you can't even understand the current society, you know what a fart?! When you can see through the word cause and effect, when will you be considered to have made progress. ”
"It's too ethereal," I said with a wry smile.
"Take your time, this thing, you don't want it, but you make rapid progress." Old man Zuo shook his head: "All in all, the higher your ideological realm, the heavier the good thoughts in your heart, and the time it takes to overcome your sins will naturally be shorter." ”
At this time, Chen Ling's voice was no longer in the wine jar, and the old man Zuo glanced at the wine jar and said, "It seems that I am asleep." ”
"Don't use that drowning talisman?" I asked tentatively.
"The drowning sun charm is used to bind ordinary injustices, there is no need to use them on these smart injustices, otherwise it will backfire." Old man Zuo said.
As soon as the words fell, Old Man Zuo arranged for me to pack my luggage, saying that I was going back to Shenyang.
"By the way, Lao Zuo, the village party secretary's gang is dead, who will pay Chen Ling's family?" When I was packing up, I couldn't help but ask: "I feel that her family is very pitiful, and no one takes care of her parents."
"I don't need you to say more, I've thought of this a long time ago." Old man Zuo smiled: "Didn't I transfer 880,000 yuan to the little blind man, the money hasn't been moved yet, I have already asked him to find a relationship and transfer it to Chen Ling's family, and I added 500,000 yuan by the way." ”
"You paid for it yourself?" I asked, confused.
"The little blind man came out, he has a lot of money there, and he keeps it to do good deeds anyway, and it is not a waste of his money." Old man Zuo said righteously.
I breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to the old man left: "I don't see that you are quite caring!" ”
", I'll go down first." The old man Zuo hugged the wine jar and said to me: "You hurry up and come down with your luggage, and after you return to Shenyang, we can rest for a few days."
Hearing this, I hummed and continued to pack my luggage.
Five minutes later, carrying a large bag of things, I went downstairs out of breath, and at a glance I saw the old man Zuo sitting in the back seat of the taxi, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.
"Lao Zuo, why don't you help carry a bag," I walked over and said to him helplessly.
The old man pretended not to hear, and smoked a cigarette happily.
When I got in the car, he listened to the music playing in the car for a while and couldn't help but pat the driver on the shoulder.
"Boy, can we change the song, I'm almost vomiting on this moon"
The driver smiled, nodded heartily, and then changed the song to the moonlight on the lotus pond of the Phoenix legend.
Really, the old man Zuo wants to scold his mother.
Seeing that the driver didn't pay much attention to us, I secretly tugged at the old man's clothes.
"What's wrong?" The old man on the left asked me.
"When are you going to tell me about my dad?" I asked softly.
"It's not time yet." Old man Zuo replied decisively, without thinking at all: "When the time comes, I'll tell you, but then again."
As soon as I saw that the old man Zuo began to divert the topic, I had no choice but to sit depressed and listen to what he said.
"There's something I don't understand, a young man like you who has a lot of feelings went to see Chen Ling's tragedy with your own eyes, why didn't you cry?" The old man squinted his eyes slightly, looking at me with a smile rather than a smile.
I was stunned, then laughed.
"I didn't cry when my grandfather was burned to ashes, Chen Ling has nothing to cry about this."
As I spoke, I turned my head away, not letting the old man see the look in my eyes.
"Instead of crying for others, it's better to laugh and unravel others, after all, negative emotions don't play a role in things." When I said these words, my voice was a little hoarse: "My grandfather said that being able to make myself laugh is a skill, and being able to make others laugh is a good thing, Chen Ling has been helped by us to this step, and she has let go of her grievances, this is enough, we should also be happy for her, right?" ”
I turned my head and said to the old man Zuo with a smile on my face: "What is there to cry about, for Chen Ling's current result, we should all laugh!" ”
"Rabbit cub, you have a good mentality." Old man Zuo was happy.
Suddenly, Old Man Zuo's mobile phone rang, and after he answered the phone, his expression became helpless for a moment.
After listening for a while, Old Man Zuo spoke.
"Little blind man, I've just finished my work, you're over there" The old man's eyes lit up, completely lost his previous ugly face, and said with great interest: "Hey! I can leave that bunny cub alone! Just give myself a vacation! ”
Hearing him say this, I don't know why, I subconsciously shivered, and I only felt cold in my spine.
This old guy isn't going to be holding back and trying to mess with me
A few minutes later, the old man hung up the phone, smiled hehe, and patted me on the shoulder.
"There are guests waiting for us downstairs in your house, this time, you have to do the work yourself!"
