Chapter 19: The Laurel Immortal of the Holy Water Temple
Before he died, Ren Song always felt that being alive was not a happy thing, he had to go to school when he was a child, he had to go to work when he grew up, and when he was old and retired, he was afraid that he would have to go to the hospital every day, and his eyes were open every day, and all kinds of troubles kept flying in front of him. Young people like him have more troubles, no money, no job, no girlfriend, family is not used to it, friends look down on him, and colleagues don't like it.
As a loyal member of the party, this coward has always felt that life is a very boring thing. Sometimes I often think that maybe it would be better to die. At least you don't have to think about waking up, whether you want to do your homework to prepare for the college entrance examination, or to circle around customers like a dog.
Even at the moment of death, although this coward was a little worried that his family would be sad because of this, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, and he no longer had to compete with others for everything, and ran for life every day. Play tricks...... Maybe it's really relieving.
It wasn't until this moment, when the girl on the other side greeted him with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of anticipation, that Ren Song realized that she was wrong...... It's really much better to be a human than a ghost.
It's hard to be a ghost and eat in the world, and the ghost fairy is no exception, even if he wants to pretend, he can't do it, and the food that Xiaohongmei prepared for herself can't be stuffed in his mouth at all! couldn't smell the fragrance it should have, and put the bowl on the table with a wry smile, Ren Song knew that he would never be able to feel the warmth of the dinner table in the future.
Try to make the corners of her mouth upturned, and the cowardly said softly to the little girl: "You can eat...... I'm so happy watching you eat it, hehe! ”
The chopsticks that were putting a piece of boiled meat into his bowl trembled, "It turns out that ghosts and fairies are still different from people!" The girl pretended not to care.
Tears, but they flowed down without a fight, even if they were together...... It's even like a normal couple......
"It's okay, at least...... When eating, Brother Ren Song accompanies him! The little girl suddenly burst into tears and smiled, looked at her sweetheart on the other side with a worried face, and said, "At most...... I'll help eat your bowl too! With that, the girl began to pull rice into her mouth desperately. ate his own bowl in two bites, and snatched the bowl from Ren Song's hand......
"Ugh!" With a crisp burp, Sun Qiuhong finally stuffed the two bowls of rice into her little belly. humming this year's popular "Thirty-six Strategies for Love", he cleaned up the pots and pans like no one else.
Ren Song, who had never known how to persuade him, wanted to come up to help, but the girl said: "You don't have your share in eating, and it is naturally not your turn to wash the dishes!" And he sent him aside.
Sitting on the stool in front of the bed, I looked carefully for a while, and saw that her face was calm, not like she was sad and overly mentally abnormal, or forced to smile and feel sad in her heart. was feeling his head, but he heard the little girl say with a smile: "In the future, I will eat two bowls of every meal, one for mine and one for yours." Look at how good I am, I even helped you eat the rice, hehe! ”
As soon as he looked up, seeing that Ren Song was still looking at him uneasily, Sun Qiuhong waved his hand and said, "Anla, Anla, I think it's wrong!" It's hard to eat the world's food as a ghost, and I heard my grandfather say it when I was a child. I thought it would be different to be a ghost fairy, but I didn't expect to be deceived by those two ghosts! Hmph, it's best not to let me meet next time, otherwise I'll definitely sue Sister Chen! Thirty-six strategies for love, you must keep it beautiful at all times......" As she spoke, the little girl patted Ren Song's shoulder comfortingly, and began to hum a song to clean up again.
Looking at the girl's big grinning appearance, although she was still a little worried in her heart, Ren Song had to let go of her mood at this time, and wanted to go up to help, but found that she couldn't intervene at all, but it was a little in the way. I simply got up and went to the corridor outside to stand. Quietly watched her busy in and out.
"You baby is so lazy! Don't give your daughter-in-law a hand! The shoulder was slapped heavily, and the voice of the rice bucket cousin Zhang Fengchao came.
"Cousin, you're here! We've just eaten, so we won't greet you! Ren Song replied listlessly.
"Don't pretend to be weird! Bring! The old liar didn't pay attention to the ridicule in Ren Song's words, and said angrily: "Baby, you are too bold, you dare to steal the Yin Soul Sword, if it is not your cousin who scares you, that kind of thing will damage Yin morality if you stay by your side, let alone use it." You are a ghost fairy, how many blessings and wisdom have been tossed! ”
"What? The Son and Mother Yin Soul Sword was stolen? Ren Song turned his head in surprise and looked at the old liar's cousin fixedly, how innocent and innocent his expression was! But he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, if Mr. Zhang San said this, he might believe it, but this cousin ...... Although they didn't get along for a long time, Ren Song had already seen his true nature, if there was really something wrong with that sword, this old liar would never pick it up so quickly, and nine times out of ten he would trick himself into staying to take his place.
Seeing that this cousin didn't admit it, the old liar was even more anxious, and even coaxed and deceived all the good things, but who knew that Ren Song just said that he didn't know. The two of them were making trouble in the corridor, and even Sun Qiuhong in the house ran out and asked what was going on.
But to the surprise of this coward, seeing the little girl coming, Uncle Rice Bucket suddenly turned around and said with a strange face: "Let's go, that sword, you can keep it if you want!" After speaking, he took out a wad of money from his briefcase and handed it to Sun Qiuhong, who came over, and said: "This is the merit money that Song Wazi and I earned by helping people exorcise ghosts, nephew and daughter-in-law, you can take it!" ”
"Huh? This is Brother Ren Song's money, what are you doing for me! The girl took the money and handed it to the coward half-truthfully.
With a smile, he took out a 100-yuan ticket from it and stuffed it into his pocket, and then said to her: "I'll keep a pocket flower, and you can take care of the rest!" ”。 Hearing this, the little girl finally smiled.
There is a saying in Luozhong: "Two people, living a life, a man is like a rake, and a woman is a box!" "It's about the husband and wife in Luozhong, the husband is like a rake and only goes home to earn money, and the wife is like a box, responsible for loading up the money earned by the husband. Therefore, according to the custom of Luozhong, if a man is willing to hand over the money he earns to another girl, it is equivalent to acquiescing to him being his wife.
"Okay, what should be given is also given, now hurry up and come with me, otherwise something big will happen!" The cousin of the rice bucket on the side shouted. The little couple who are silently singing from their eyebrows are better than sounding, and the scenery is clean.
"What are you doing?" Glancing at the old liar angrily, Ren Song said angrily: "Cousin, can you dig a few fewer pits for me to jump, at Boss Cao's place, I almost let your talisman drain me, if you don't make it clear what it is this time, I won't go if I kill it!" ”
Hearing this, the old liar laughed dryly twice, and then said: "This time it's a serious merit, don't miss it!" Seeing Ren Song's unmoved expression, he replied: "Do you remember Boss Cao's fake talisman?" Seeing Ren Song nodded. He sighed and said, "Alas, what kind of Liuhua monk in the Holy Water Temple, this time he has caused a disaster!" ”
But it turned out that the old liar saw the talisman from Boss Cao at the beginning, and he didn't believe it was true at all. Because of the Lingguan evil talisman written by his old father, together with the Zhibao Town Demon Bell of Lingguan Cliff, he pressed the Yuan Shen of Yuegui Immortal, one of the four great demon immortals.
The laurel immortal is a thousand-year-old laurel cultivation achievement, this grass, wood, bamboo, and stone is extremely difficult to open wisdom, and it is extremely rare among demons. However, once you have spiritual wisdom and start cultivating, you are far better than ordinary wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. Cover because he is so quiet and has many good deeds. In addition, this kind of goblin does not eat meat, and the mother is a vegetarian in the womb, so no matter the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, they all like this kind of goblin to be attached.
The first person to be put into the door of Mr. Nine Crazy was this laurel immortal, who liked to appear as a plain-clothed woman, and followed the ancestor to pacify many demons in Luozhong. Wang Jiumad in order to repay his merits, deliberately moved her body with mana to the holy water temple, because the holy water temple has five demon dragons to harm, so specially asked the laurel fairy to be responsible for guarding the five demons, in addition to the temple merit incense practice.
It turned out that it had been safe and sound, and in the early days of liberation, because the laurel fairy was extremely effective, the devout believers not only placed the incense case under the tree, but also molded the golden body of the image. Until the 60s, the Holy Water Temple was still flourishing, all because of the laurel fairy who responded to his requests. When it came time to defeat all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, this old laurel tree naturally bore the brunt and became the first target of the red soldiers to be defeated.
As a result, young revolutionaries from all walks of life poured into the Shengshui Temple, and in a red flag exhibition, the thousand-year-old Gui was completely cut off. In the end, he simply burned the fire to ashes. The laurel immortal, who was already full of merit and had the hope of ascending, suddenly lost his body, and there was no hope of ascending.
The thousand-year-old practice has become a painting cake, and the angry Laurel Yuan God immediately began to take revenge, and on the same night, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Three Holy Temples, and the Patriarch Hall of the Holy Water Temple all collapsed cleanly. Most of the red soldiers who were sleeping in it were buried alive. And the rest of the people who did not die also got a strange plague, and the whole body began to grow osmanthus-like white pox, and after squeezing it, there will be the sweetness of osmanthus, as long as you smell this fragrance, you will be infected immediately.
For a time, the monsters of the Shengshui Temple caused a sensation in Luozhong, and even the people of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee began to ask, after all medical treatment was declared invalid, seeing that the revolutionary generals passed away one by one, in order to keep their black yarn, the main residence of the Luozhong Revolutionary Committee finally found Zhang Sanque, who was being detained in the cowshed under the guidance of others.
When Mr. Sanque rushed to the Holy Water Temple, he realized that the demon fairy Yuan Shen had completely fallen into the demon, and the dissuasion did not work at all.
Zhang Sanque also knew that this matter was extremely difficult, so he asked the director to gather all the educated youths in Luozhong, and the men and women each gathered five hundred. At the original site of the Holy Water Temple, a large array of demons was set up, and with the help of the blood of the middle fingers of many children and men, it was forcibly sealed in an ancient well near the original laurel tree. But he also knew that the mana of the Laurel Immortal was strong, and in order to prevent it from breaking the formation, he specially invited the Demon Bell of the Shimen Zhibao Town to suppress the well, and wrote a spiritual official evil talisman on it, with this triple insurance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alas!" Speaking of this, the old liar sighed, and then said: "Originally, the old monk who practiced in the holy water back then, your uncle and grandfather have all said hello. That's why I also know about the ancient well. No one has dared to fight the idea of the bell and the charm......"
So when Boss Cao took out the talisman, Zhang Fengchao didn't look at it much, so he thought that the Liuhua monk drew it himself according to the yellow talisman on the clock. So I didn't look at it at all when I put it into the briefcase. When he came out of the hotel and went to the bank to deposit money, the old liar rummaged through his bag, but unexpectedly found that the ghost sword of the mother and son was gone, and he was anxious to rummage again, and when his hand was inadvertently pressed on the handwriting of the yellow talisman, he found that the talisman was actually real!
The frightened old liar didn't care about saving money, so he took a taxi directly to the Holy Water Temple, only to find that not only was the yellow charm gone, but even the demon bell pressed on it was gone. When I found the abbot of the Holy Water Temple, I found that there was no monk in the temple who had the Dharma name Liuhua.
According to the abbot, some time ago, the temple renovated the temple and invited many craftsmen from other places, but one night the bell and the yellow charm were all gone, and the case was reported to the town police station. According to the police in the station, a group of cultural relics dealers pretended to be craftsmen.
Because the monks in the temple were still lay or deceased, now these monks, including the abbot, are all new monks after the reform and opening up, and they don't know the reason at all, so no one took it seriously, and no one informed the disciples of Lingguan Ya. So much so that when Zhang Fengchao rushed away, the bell had been lost for nearly half a year, and the old liar hurriedly used the method passed down by his father to check the Demon Suppression Array, but found that the demonized Demon Immortal Yuan Shen had knocked out countless cracks.
He wanted to go back to his father to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't know that he had just taken his daughter Zhang Ziru out to Sichuan to find a Taoist master to treat his eyes, and he couldn't come back for half a month. The anxious old liar remembered his ghost nephew again. And they hurried to him.
"Looking for me?" Ren Song looked at Zhang Fengchao opposite in surprise, shook his head like a rattle and said: "Cousin, you are not mistaken, at my level of ghosts and immortals, not to mention demon fairies, goblins can't be provoked, where can I help!" ”
The old liar on the other side laughed and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you fight with the demon fairy, that laurel fairy is still suppressed in the ancient well and can't get out, you just need to urge the mana like you did during the day, and help me activate this spirit official evil talisman......"
When Ren Song heard this, he immediately complained: "Cousin, you are too ruthless, I almost didn't get drained by that talisman during the day, and now you haven't recovered, and you don't have a blue bottle to replenish, here is another one!" Do you really want my life? ”
Zhang Fengchao said when he heard this: "What is the blue bottle?" ”
"It doesn't matter what it is, anyway, I'm not going!"
Ren Song's attitude was very resolute, just not to help, that Zhang Fengchao was easy to say, and when he couldn't persuade him, he said angrily: "You baby really don't know what to do, this kind of merit and law is not willing to do it, but I really don't know it!" Angry and without merit, doll, haven't you noticed that your temper is getting bigger and bigger? ”
