Chapter 3: Coming Home
Chapter III
Lin Xiaoye, fourteen years old, math genius! Because his mother died in an accident, he dropped out of school and stayed at home.
Lin Xiaoye has always felt that her mother's death was rather strange, not an accidental death as his father said.
He had asked his father many times, but every time his father was furious, as if he was afraid of something, Lin Xiaoye felt that this was very abnormal, because his father was a person who would not get angry, but in this matter, it was like a different person.
So he vowed to find out the real cause of his mother's death, and for various reasons, he had some clues, but the result surprised him, because it was related to a supernatural event.
That's why he's here, and he's sitting across from me at the moment, staring at me dumbfounded.
"Have you figured it out?" I asked.
"Well, I've thought about it a long time ago." Lin Xiaoye nodded firmly.
"Don't make up your mind so early, learn from me, but you will have to suffer a lot." I looked at Lin Xiaoye's resolute face and said.
"I can endure hardship," Lin Xiaoye seemed to be very worried that I would look down on him.
"I'm accepting apprentices for the first time, I hope it will be you, come back to Shigong's ancestral house with me tomorrow, and I'll give you a ten-day probationary period."
With that, I left.
Early the next morning, I took Lin Xiaoye and Tie Dan on the high-speed train back to my hometown, and after a few hours of journey, we returned to the old man's old house, where I worshipped.
I haven't come back for half a year, the yard is overgrown with weeds, open the gate, the red bricks in the courtyard are already covered with moss, and no one has set foot on it for a long time.
The people in the hall were tightened, still maintaining the scene when I left, and after looking for a long time, they didn't find the key, and in desperation, they burned the lock with the fire, which caused Lin Xiaoye to exclaim.
"Master, are you a true fire of samadhi?" Lin Xiaoye asked.
I turned my head to look like him. said funny: "Watch less TV series in the future." ”
Lin Xiaoye shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Pushing open the door, a musty smell suddenly came to the nostrils, and there was inevitably a thick dampness in the house that had been left unattended for so long.
The house is like that. If someone lives in it, it can last a long time, and if no one lives in it, it will soon be dilapidated, which is the result of the breath of the spirit of all things in Wenyang.
Lin Xiaoye was very eye-catching, so he didn't need me to speak, and hurriedly helped me wipe the chair clean. I found a broom and started cleaning.
I'm not a little older than him, but I think I'm so helpful.
Taking a towel from the rope behind the door, I walked to the offering table and slowly wiped it down, there were hundreds of spirit tablets on it, all of which had passed away from generation to generation.
"Master, you rest, I'll come." Lin Xiaoye took the initiative to take the work, I shook my head and continued to wipe it.
It depends on the dark sky. gave Lin Xiaoye some money and asked him to go to the street with Tie Dan to buy more food and come back, I was already hungry.
Supporting this effort, I took out a spirit tablet that had already been carved, and slowly rubbed it, which was the old man's tablet.
There was not much time, the two of them came back, I lit incense candles, offered some fruit and wine, and respectfully invited the old man's tablet up.
"Xiaoye, iron egg. On your knees. ”
Lin Xiaoye and Tie Dan hurriedly knelt behind me, and I knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the offering table three times.
"The ancestors of the past dynasties are above, and the unfilial disciple Sun Long Xiaoyang comes back to worship."
Stand up. I lit three sticks of incense, made it three more times, and inserted it into the censer.
"Master, the apprentice is not filial, and I only brought your spiritual position back today, and I have failed the master's love. The master is as kind to me as a mountain, Xiaoyang will never forget, I will kowtow to your old man. ”
I fell to my knees and kowtowed my head hard.
Strange to say, at this time, a burst of majesty appeared out of thin air in the room.
I stood up with a smile and said to Tie Dan and Lin Xiaoye: "Get up, Xiao Ye goes to live and cook, and Tie Dan learns to cook." ”
The two of them answered and went with great interest.
I suddenly found that it was also a very good thing to be with my apprentice, I sat in the yard, took out a chair from the bracelet, and lay on it leisurely, watching Lin Xiaoye busy and outside, and Tie Dan helping to wash the vegetables and wash the dishes, and soon became popular.
Call......
This is called the days, how did I get over before, thinking about the life that has been going all the way and almost non-stop, I really feel that the days are beautiful now.
It would be nice to be able to live forever!
Children naturally have children's topics, Lin Xiaoye kept asking Tie Dan, about my question, although it was across the kitchen, but I still heard it clearly, I want to come to this little guy's heart to look forward to having a sense of mystery!
If this child is angry, I am ready to train him, after all, this is the first time I accept an apprentice, and I still care very much about it, I think every master is very partial to his first disciple.
Lin Xiaoye's craftsmanship surprised me a little, now such a big child, let alone do it, many of them can't even make noodles.
During the meal, Lin Xiaoye was shocked by my appetite, and watched in amazement as I ate more than a dozen people's food, with a look of adoration.
I led the two of them to the second floor, picked out the books from the bookshelf that I basically thought were more practical, and handed them to Lin Xiaoye.
"Read all these books, some places where notes have been taken, focus on reading, and star needs to be memorized." With that said, I went back to my room and rested.
The night in the countryside was dark early and very quiet, and in winter it was completely dark just after six o'clock, and I lay on my bed, staring at my right hand.
The black skull, like a brand, made me constantly guess what kind of existence it was.
I believe that it is alive rather than dead, and the man I saw in my dream called "Martyr" must have some very close connection with this skeleton, which he himself said, and I don't think it's just a coincidence.
He needs a lot of blood, just to be able to wake up, and I, the author, need to provide him with blood constantly, which is why I always feel hungry.
Also, when I was fighting the demon in Hong Kong, when the qi in my body passed through my right hand, it turned into a black sword, and after the demon was killed by the sword, it directly turned into a skeleton, as if it had been devoured flesh and blood.
I shudder to think about this, this skull is completely out of control, like a time bomb in the body, if there is no evil intention, forget it, if there is evil intention, how can I change it? (To be continued.) )
