Chapter 423: The Red Cloth Carries the Coffin
As soon as the girl's voice fell, she stumbled under her feet, and her body involuntarily rushed forward, although it was not downhill, and there were no steps, but if she fell like this, it would undoubtedly hurt for a while.
"Be careful." Although the old man was not young, he was quite agile in reaching out, and he grabbed the girl's arm at once, which made the girl face the doom of contact with the earth.
"Ah, scared the hell, scared the hell out of me." After the girl stood still, she still patted her chest with a frightened look.
"So that you don't have a door on your mouth, and now you will be punished, right? How can you talk nonsense? Be cautious in the future, otherwise sooner or later you will suffer. The old man said beside him.
"I, I was just careless, what does it have to do with that, that person." The girl looked hard-mouthed, but she was also a little weak-hearted and didn't dare to call a liar or anything.
"Let's go, if you can still meet that master, maybe you will have a chance." The old man shook his head and led the girl away quickly.
"Grandpa, how can you be sure that person must be a superior person?" Until this time, the girl still had some doubts in her heart, she hadn't seen the so-called masters, but which one was not seventy or eighty? Either it is the immortal wind bone, or the grandmaster's bearing, how can there be such a young master.
"I ask you, how many degrees is it today?" The old man didn't look back, and said directly.
"Now, less than 10 degrees." The girl thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, just look at the clothes on your body and you know it's cold, but haven't you noticed what the master you said was wearing?" The old man continued.
"Dressed like white." The girl frowned and thought about it.
"It's not just a white suit, it's just a very thin tracksuit." The old man said, which also shows how subtle his observation ability is.
"Even if you wear less, it doesn't mean anything, does it? What if he's not afraid of the cold, or pretending to be on purpose? The girl couldn't help but retort, she didn't know why, anyway, she just retorted for the sake of rebuttal.
"Is it pretending, can you hide it from your grandfather's eyes? And you came down from the mountain, which means that he went up the mountain very early, and the temperature will only be lower at that time, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it if they dress like that, but he walked down the mountain with a smile on his face, and he didn't feel any sign of cold, and I felt something in him that only Master Lianshan has. The old man said with a somewhat solemn face.
"Master Lianshan? Grandpa, you must have read it wrong. The girl said.
"Perhaps, but the young man is a real master." The old man insisted on his own ideas.
"What's wrong with the masters? Anyway, I can't find anyone anymore. The girl's eyes swept around, and she was a little disappointed.
"This kind of superior meeting is already fate, how can you find it easily? If you are so deliberate, you will only fall behind. The old man shook his head and said.
"Hmph, he hasn't been gone long just now, we'll definitely find it soon." The girl was a little unwilling to admit defeat at this time.
"Okay, we've been out for more than a week, and your grandma is probably impatient, so we should go back." The old man said again.
"Go back so soon? I haven't had enough of it, and when I get home, I'm tired of it every day. The girl suddenly showed a bitter gourd face.
"Sooner or later, you have to face it, you can't solve the problem by escaping, and isn't there still me? Rest assured. The old man said again.
And when the girl listened to the old man's words, her face immediately changed color.
After leaving Tianzhu Mountain, I first went to the city to buy some things, mainly food, clothing, and a tent, after all, although I am not afraid of the cold, but at this time, maybe it will rain a little one day, and ordinary cultivation does not mean that you have to find abuse.
Even along the way, I am also prepared to take a relaxed mood, not limited to formality, nor deliberate, to go when it is time to go, to stop when it is time to stop, while enjoying the scenery along the way, while feeling with my heart.
From Ontario to the westernmost part, it is almost 4,000 kilometers, and if I let go with all my might, it will be no problem to have a few hundred kilometers a day, even if it is slower, it will take 40 kilometers a day.
This does not include the time delayed along the way, so there is no exact time for the trip, and when it will go, even if it is.
After purchasing my things, I found a place where no one was, put everything into the cave map, and started on the road with a relaxed body.
I didn't go directly to the west, but to the south, as for the first stop, I chose Wangjiang, I was going to walk along the Yangtze River for a while, in my opinion, the Yangtze River is definitely one of the greatest miracles of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, she has witnessed the change of Chinese civilization, carrying the rise and fall of human civilization.
Since ancient times, the Yangtze River is a moat, looking across the river, south of the Yangtze River and north of the river, how many heroes hate this, Chu overlord and Liu Bang, the Three Kingdoms Chibi, Sui annihilation of Liang Chen, and the battle of Wuhan in modern times.
And in all dynasties, there has never been a shortage of descriptions of the Yangtze River, and my favorite is a poem by Li Bai: The mountains follow the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness.
In just ten words, the magnificent picture jumps onto it, which makes people reverie.
It took me less than half a day to get to Wangjiang, because there is no good place to stay on this road, and the reason why I chose Wangjiang is more because the Yangtze River flows through here, and there is a peculiar place here, called Lei Chi.
There is a saying that you don't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and the source of this sentence is here, the ancient thunder pool.
The thunder of the thunder pool is not the thunder of lightning, and it has nothing to do with this thunder.
Because the water flows through a place called Thunder Harbor and merges into a pool, it is called Thunder Pool.
When I came to Lei Chi, it was noon, there were not many people, and the biggest impression of Lei Chi was that the water was clear and crystal clear, and there was even a slogan of Lei Chi water monopoly.
For Lei Chi, I was just a little curious, so to see, there was no purpose, around the Lei Chi almost a circle, I was going to leave, go to the Yangtze River, but just when I was about to leave, I suddenly saw a team of strange people.
The reason why it is strange is because this group of people are wearing a big red dress, if it is just like this, it is nothing, after all, maybe someone has a more peculiar hobby, but wearing a red dress and carrying a coffin has to make people feel strange.
Although I have seen a lot of funerals, it is the first time I have seen them in red, especially when they carry the coffins not to the cemetery, but to the thunder pool, what are they going to do?
I couldn't help but feel a little curious, so I just hid next to it and watched quietly.
"You two don't cry, didn't the doctor say that Xiaochan won't live to be twenty years old? You've also made a lot of efforts over the years, and you haven't forgotten what the master said a while ago, have you? Xiaochan has to go through nine tribulations to be freed, this is her ninth and last time, as long as she passes this hurdle, Xiaochan will be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth in her next life, so this time is a happy event, not a funeral. An old man who led the team came to the middle of the team and said to a couple of men and women in their forties who were holding the coffin and weeping, with sadness on their faces.
"Think about how Xiaochan has spent all these years, you don't want Xiaochan to continue to suffer, right? For Xiaochan's sake, you should be happy. The old man continued.
"Third uncle, I also know that this is a good thing for Xiaochan, but I can't bear it." The middle-aged man wiped his tears and said depressedly.
"Third uncle, if you don't have to wait for two days, Xiaochan hasn't swallowed her breath yet, can't you wait for her to breathe?" The woman also said with a haggard and sad face.
"No, you forgot what the master said? is to bury Xiaochan when she still has her last breath, so that she can keep her breath in the underworld, and she can still remember you in the next life, do you want Xiaochan to forget you in the next life? The old man said sternly.
"This..." The woman was forced by the old man's words, and was suddenly speechless, and could only look at her husband next to her for help.
Although she is reluctant to give up her daughter, and even wants her daughter to remember them in the next life, but her daughter has not really swallowed her breath after all, and if she is buried like this, she always feels that she murdered her daughter with her own hands.
"Listen to the third uncle." The middle-aged man closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind, "Xiaochan will be reincarnated soon, and when she is sensible, she will be able to come back to us, and our Xiaochan will come back." ”
"Well, well." When the woman heard her husband say this, she naturally couldn't continue to insist, but just looked at the coffin in front of her and silently shed tears again.
I frowned as I listened, and although I didn't hear much, I could guess the general story.
Obviously, the girl named Xiaochan was diagnosed by the doctor a long time ago that she would not live to be twenty years old, and the parents have not been willing to believe this fact, so they kept looking for hope, and it is clear that they finally failed, and at this time, a so-called master came to the door, saying that their daughter would have to go through nine calamities before she could be freed.
I don't know how the master made them believe in this fallacy, and the result is to bury Xiaochan, who has not really swallowed her breath, so that she can keep a breath and remember them in the next life.
At this time, I don't know when to sympathize with the angry parents, they undoubtedly love their daughter deeply, but they also love to the extent that they don't distinguish between right and wrong, or rather, they just don't want to accept this fact, so they will find an excuse for themselves, a reason.
And that master obviously gave them a hope, a hope that the so-called next life will remember them, hence today's special funeral.
