Chapter 6: The Death of the Immortals
When my dad was twenty-two years old, he found a daughter-in-law. That's my mom, Lan Fen.
Two more years later, I was born. I was short of water, so my master, that is, the old Taoist priest, gave me a mortal character.
Maybe it's a kind of expectation from my family, I hope that I will be ordinary and ordinary all my life, just be safe and sound.
On the night of my full moon, my dad had just come back from a busy trip out of town, and when he arrived home, he saw that Ye Laodao was not there, and he wondered in his heart, where did this old man go?
"Daughter-in-law, where did Master go? Did you go fishing or go to a play? Dad scratched his head and asked, Generally, the old Taoist priest has these two hobbies, and at most he can add a bully child.
My mother said to my father with an anxious face: "Ye Daochang's health is dying, and he just entered the hospital the day before yesterday." ”
Could it be that Master is going to die?!
When my father heard this, he suddenly ran to the hospital like crazy, Master, wait for me!
The hospital was not far from my house, and my dad ran into the hospital after a while.
There are a lot of people running around the hospital, and in this environment where people die all the time, the doctors and nurses around them have long been surprised.
Dad ran without saying a word with his head down, and when he arrived at the door of the ward, he didn't dare to push the door open. Because he was afraid that he would not be able to accept the facts. My grandfather and my grandparents raised my father since I was a child, and my father is like his second father.
"Hehe, Xiaobao is here, I only got a hexagram this morning, I expected you to come now, come in." My master smiled lightly and asked my father to come in.
The father pushed open the door without saying a word, and when he saw the master's pale and skinny face, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Master! How could you be! Are you sick!! It's going to be fine!! Baozi will definitely find the best doctor for you!! My dad looked at my grandfather and said eagerly.
The master looked at my father's red eyes, smiled and said, "You little rabbit, call a fart, big man, don't let people see the joke." After speaking, he sighed, touched my father's head and said: "Baozi, you have grown up with me since you were a child, you were a little child, and now you are an adult, alas, time is not forgiving, I have been with you for twenty-four years, and now I have to go to the ancestor to discuss the Tao." ”
As soon as my father heard my grandfather say this, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and knelt in front of the hospital bed and hugged his master: "Master, you can't go!" Xiao Fan was just born, you have to watch Xiao Fan grow up! I'll have to serve you for the rest of my life!! Now the medical technology is better than before! Baozi takes you to the big city to see a doctor! Master! You can't die! ”
Shigong looked at my dad, his eyes were full of relief, and he said guiltily to my dad: "Baozi, you can remember what I passed on to you!" When Xiaofan grows up, he will also pass it on to him, he is the same as you, he is also a hard-working person, alas, the inherited yin and yang eyes, this is all to blame on me. ”
Hearing my master say this, my dad hugged my master without saying a word, shaking his head desperately: "I don't blame you!" Don't blame you! If there is no master, and there is no treasure today, please don't go! Don't leave! Baozi has to serve you for the rest of your life! Man will win heaven, Master! ”
Hearing my dad say this, my master shook his head and smiled: "People are a fart, Baozi, I know my body well, my longevity is coming to an end, if you come a little later, I guess I won't be able to see Lao Dao me, I really can't hold on to it, cough cough cough" Saying this, Ye Lao Dao suddenly coughed violently, and his face became even paler.
"Doctor! Doctor! What about people! Hurry up and help! Doctor!!! My dad screamed.
Shigong waved his hand: "Call a fart, the doctor has a fart, Baozi." Give me a cigarette. Dad trembled and handed a cigarette to Shigong and helped Shigong light the fire.
Ye Laodao coughed and took a puff of cigarette, looked at my dad and smiled: "Baozi, we don't have a teacher's inheritance, I was just a wandering Taoist at the beginning, and so is my master, I see that the treasures are all placed under your bed, you little rabbit cub remember, we must pass on our Taoism, and we can't let our Taoism be lost!" Remember! We must carry forward our Taoism! ”
"Baozi! Live well."
"Seeking the Tao is to seek eternal life, who knows whether immortality is immortal"
With a faint lamentation, there was still half of the cigarette left in Shigong's hand, and it fell to the ground at once.
My grandfather was lying on the hospital bed and looked at my dad, smiling.
"Doctor! Doctor! Where the hell are you dead? Hurry up and save me!! Doctor!! ”
When my grandparents heard the news of my master's feathering, they couldn't cry at that time: "Daoist Ye, but I am the benefactor of our family!" ”
Shigong's funeral was held for seven days, and every day my father recited sutras to Shigong.
During that time, my father often looked at the last photos of my master in a daze, thinking about the past
Seven days later, Dad found a place with good feng shui for his master to be buried. Shigong's favorite is purity, and he often said that he would find a quiet place to retire when he was old.
On the last day of the funeral, the coffin was sent up the mountain, and in front of the tombstone, my father stood there motionless for a long time
After a long time, my father knelt down in front of the tombstone with a heavy thud, and there were thousands of thoughts in my mind, and all kinds of past things came to my father's mind.
The story of my father's childhood and his father-in-law is like a movie, and scenes flash in my mind.
"Master! Didn't you say there was a red envelope??? Is this a red envelope? My dad took a piece of paper and asked my master.
"Ahem, what, isn't it a red envelope? Who said that money is in red envelopes? Hahaha! Seeing my dad jumping up and down, my grandfather laughed.
"Old man Ye! Come out! Lao Tzu plays free fighting with you! "My dad had just been picked up from a psychiatric hospital, and as soon as he got home, he was looking for his father-in-law.
"Apprentice, this can't be blamed on the teacher! I can only blame you for wearing such a formal outfit? Hahahaha! Shi Gong laughed wildly and ran out of the door.
"I don't like meat, you can eat it."
"Little rabbit, I'm lazy again! Hurry up and memorize the mantra! ”
"Little bastard, tell me the truth to the old way, did you block my cigarette stick!"
"Good apprentice, go, the master will take you to drink!" "Hahahaha! I didn't expect that the old Taoist priest would also have a day as a teacher! Good! When Xiaofan grows up, I will teach him Taoism! This skill is waiting to be passed on to him! ”
"Apprentice!"
"Bunny!"
Thinking about it, my father lay in front of the grave, tears kept coming out of his eyes, and my father hugged the tombstone tightly and cried bitterly: "Master!! Master!!! You're back!! I miss you in vain!! ”
