Chapter Ninety-Seven: Jade Incarnation 4
Grandpa laughed and said, "This is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!" ”
Yu Youyang pointed at Luo Buzhai and said, "But this gentleman is also a ghost." Why don't you take him too? ”
Grandpa was stunned and looked at Luo Buzhai.
Luo Buzhai was also stunned, not knowing why Yu Youyang said this.
Yu Youyang said: "When you were holding the bracelet to exorcise ghosts just now, I saw that his body was penetrated by green light. If it were a human, it would block out the light. ”
Luo Buzhai was behind his father just now, but his father didn't notice it. Luo Buzhai was so frightened that he didn't pay attention to himself. And Yu Youyang, who was hiding not far away, took everything in his eyes.
Luo Buzhai was penetrated by green light, which was unexpected and reasonable. After he left the radish village, he was outside his body, and after being plotted by Ze Sheng, his outer body dissipated, and he was collected by Jiuyi Chang with a scripture to contain the soul that was about to step into Huangquan Road, so that he was able to return from the dead, just like he was resurrected after being plotted by beggars.
After listening to Luo Buzhai talk about the process of resurrection after death, Grandpa looked up the allusions and learned that the passage taught to him by the ninety-first elder was from Guru Padmasambhava's "Bardo Wenjiao Dedu Tantra", which is a kind of "Guru Rinpoche's mantra" that soothes the soul and can calm people down from panic and fear.
Guru Padmasambhava was originally an Indian monk and was known for his supernatural powers. In the 8th century, Guru Padmasambhava was invited by the Tibetan King Trisong Detsen to preach the Dharma, and he used tantric magic to subdue the evil spirits of Tibet one by one, so his mantra had the effect of removing demonic obstacles and purifying himself.
It was only fitting that Captain Jiuyi would teach this mantra to Luo Buzhai, who had dissipated due to panic.
Luo Buzhai's outer body has been preserved, but he has experienced death again, so although he is alive, he cannot be called a human, and although he has died, he cannot be called a ghost; Although the green light that gathers the solar energy for thousands of years will not be annihilated like a ghost, it cannot be obscured like a person.
"But I wasn't burned like the ghosts you just saw." Luo Buzhai thought for a while and said.
"And what the hell are you?" Yu Youyang raised his head and asked.
"I'm human and not exactly human, I'm a ghost but not exactly a ghost." With Master Lotus's mantra, Luo Buzhai was no longer afraid of the truth, and even dared to laugh at himself. "I don't know what I am."
Yu Youyang looked at Luo Buzhai with a sympathetic expression and said, "It's really pitiful......"
Luo Buzhai couldn't cry and laughed, and asked, "Why am I pitiful?" ”
Daddy couldn't be happier.
"Isn't it pitiful that you don't even know what you're doing?" Yu Youyang asked confidently.
Luo Buzhai still had to argue, but his father stopped him and said to Yu Youyang: "You see that he is so pitiful, don't tell others what you saw tonight, okay?" "Grandpa doesn't want the people near the Wudu River to know about Yin Bing and Luo Buzhai, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
Yu Youyang looked at Luo Buzhai with a sad look, like looking at an abandoned puppy, which moved the girl's compassion, she nodded vigorously: "Hmm! ”
"But there is one condition!" She said again.
"Oh? Still conditional? What conditions? Daddy asked.
"I'm going to learn how to exorcise demons from you! In the future, when I see ghosts dragging away the villagers, I don't have to hide, I can drive them away! She held her head high and her fighting spirit high.
Grandpa smiled, "We can promise you." But I still need your family's consent. If your mom and dad don't agree, it's useless for us to agree. ”
She said confidently, "I will convince them!" ”
Grandpa originally thought that her family would never agree, so he answered her with such words. Grandpa never thought of accepting apprentices, and he thought that Luo Buzhai, who had been single for many years and was eight or nine years older than him, had not considered who to teach his skills. When he answered Yu Youyang, he was actually still hesitating.
But it was this hesitant sentence that actually turned Luo Buzhai's life upside down. Yu Youyang not only returned to Thrush Village with them with the consent of her parents, but later fell in love with Luo Buzhai, whom she thought was pitiful. Luo Buzhai taught Yu Youyang everything he had learned in his life, and married her three years later.
Sometimes life is like that. You deliberately work hard and give a lot, thinking that you can change your life, and when you look back many years later, you find that the things you paid for are actually insignificant and dispensable; And you did something inadvertently at that time, which was unintentional, and when you look back many years later, there is already a lot of greenery, which is even enough to change your life.
The Yu family's parents had long heard that Ma Xiu of Thrush Village was a person who was proficient in the art of Xuanhuang and was a good person. They told their father that they gave their daughter the name Yu Youyang because there was once a fortune teller who said that their daughter was weak and a child's life. A child's life sounds good, but it's actually a very bad life.
The person who lives as a child is not a human being in a previous life, and is reincarnated as a human in this life; There are many unjust creditors around him, and his karma is heavy; Bad luck or illness. Numerically, the person who occupies the star of the lonely and widowed canopy is called the life of the child.
Generally speaking, people who live as children do not live long.
The Yu family's parents thought that they lived next to the Wudu River, and the most likely thing to take away their daughter should be the flood, so they named her the word "Youyang".
Now there are people like Grandpa who are willing to teach her the art of Xuanhuang, and they naturally can't ask for it. They hope that after their daughter understands the art of Xuanhuang, she can thin her child's life.
Besides, the distance between Thrush Village and Wudu River is not too far, and her daughter can come back often, they can go often, and they can avoid the pain of missing.
Therefore, without Yu Youyang's persuasion, her parents nodded again and again, overjoyed.
After returning to Thrush Village, her grandfather asked Luo Buzhai to arrange a more elegant room for her, and let her read the Book of Xuanhuang through the cabinets. However, grandpa himself basically didn't have time to care about her, and the art of Xuanhuang was generally taught by Luo Buzhai, and when grandpa had leisure, he taught her to write calligraphy and paint ink paintings.
After Grandpa and Luo Buzhai returned to Thrush Village, they didn't see Ze Sheng come back.
Some people in the village said that they had left Thrush Village after seeing Zesheng packing up his things. When he walked to the old river bridge, he cried loudly, like a mourner. Some people in the village who knew him came forward to persuade and ask, but he didn't say a word, just cried. After crying for a long time, he left.
Grandpa went to Zesheng's room to check. Sure enough, his stuff was gone.
But there was a letter on the table. The general content of the letter is that Wuyan faced his grandfather, returned to Thrush Village from the Wudu River before them, packed his luggage and left, and as for the matter of finding Xiaomi's reincarnation, he would still do it.
Although there is an apology on the letter, there is also unwillingness, when it comes to finding the reincarnation of Xiaomi, the pen is heavier than before, and the ink is thicker, it can be seen that Zesheng is resentful in his heart at this time, and he almost gritted his teeth and wrote.
Luo Buzhai picked up Ze Sheng's farewell letter and looked at it, and said, "Is he a threat?" Will it be against her to find Xiaomi's reincarnation? ”
Grandpa's expression was solemn.
Luo Buzhai said: "If the reincarnation of Xiaomi does not remember the events of the previous life, the Alaya consciousness has not yet sprouted, and it is found by Zesheng, it is inevitable that there will be a danger of revenge from him." ”
"I should have taken his life!" Grandpa's eyes lit up.
Luo Buzhai had never heard him say such fierce words, nor had he ever seen him so angry, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "But it's not like he can find it if he wants to." The vast sea of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
Grandpa took a long breath, held his forehead and said, "I shouldn't be so angry. Anger never helps. Anyway, I've decided to travel out in a few days, in addition to avoiding the weak king who doesn't know where, I can also look for news of Xiaomi along the way. After attending Li Xiaocheng's wedding, I left here. ”
On the second morning after Ze Sheng left, his father got up early and pointed the jade bracelet at the morning light, wanting to suck in the green light from the jade bracelet again. But this time he stood in the morning light for a long time, and there was no illusion of seawater, and he did not hear the humming sound in his ears. He tried to inhale a few times, but there was only earthy air, and there was no feeling of fullness.
Grandpa thought to himself, it should have used up the energy of the jade bracelet when he drove away the Yin soldiers in the foggy river, after all, it was an army of thousands of horses, not a straggler and a lonely ghost.
Grandpa sighed and wanted to put away the jade bracelet.
Suddenly, the jade bracelet slipped like a loach and slipped out of my father's hand!
Grandpa was startled and hurriedly reached out to grab it.
As soon as he bent over, his head suddenly felt dizzy, and the houses and date trees in front of him spun. Grandpa is very fond of jujube trees, and after the old house of the Ma family was burned and looted, grandpa planted another jujube tree in front of the new mud house. When dates fall next to the jujube tree, small jujube trees will grow. I once dug up a few small date trees and wanted to plant them in front of my house. But none of them survived.
Grandpa saw the spinning jujube tree tremble, like a shiver when a person is suddenly frozen. Then he fell to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose.
At that time, Yu Youyang and Luo Buzhai had not yet gotten up.
Grandpa threw himself on the damp soil, looking at the jade bracelet less than an inch away from his hand, feeling tired like never before.
He lay there for a long time. The faint heat of the morning sun fell on him, the chirping sparrows fell on him, and a few leaves of the date palm trees fell on him. But he couldn't move as if he were carrying a thousand pounds.
He saw Xiaomi's fleeting smiling face on the jade bracelet that he couldn't reach......
Daddy tried to stretch out his hand and slam his finger into the dirt, trying to borrow a little bit more to move forward, but in vain.
He saw Millet's smiling face turn into a seed, like a jujube pit. The seed slowly grew a small sprout in the morning light. The sparrow on Grandpa's back also seemed to have noticed a new sprout in the jade bracelet, and immediately flew to the jade bracelet and pecked it with his beak.
Grandpa was so anxious that he couldn't get up when he wanted to catch up, and he couldn't make a sound when he wanted to shout.
The sparrow's beak couldn't peck into the jade bracelet, but the sprout was gone.
The sparrow couldn't see it, so it jumped from the circle of the jade bracelet to the outside of the circle, jumped into the circle from outside the circle, looked for it, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
Many years later, my father remembered what he saw when he fell to the ground, and guessed that it was when Xiaomi was really reincarnated.
