"Flowers in the mirror? Moon in the water? ”

Chief Jiuyi looked at the ant-like person at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Maybe she's around me, but I can't touch her." After saying that, his eyes were filled with tears. His gaffe is really not in line with his current identity.

Grandpa asked for details again, but Chief Jiuyi shook his head again and again, not wanting to say more.

That day, my grandfather walked slowly down the long stone steps from Dayun Mountain, and as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he was stopped by a person from behind.

"Ma Xiucai don't go!" The man shouted.

Dad looked back and saw a man in his forties coming out from behind a large rock, carrying a fishing net on his shoulder. The man had a long face and long eyes, and a handful of goat's beard on his chin, which was a bit like a portrait of Emperor Kangxi. Grandpa knows that this is an emperor's appearance in terms of physiognomy. It's a pity that a conspicuous black mole on his left cheek broke his appearance and ruined his imperial life. The net for fishing was made of black thread.

But when the man walked in, Grandpa found that the net was not woven with black thread, but with rough hair.

Grandpa felt that he was not an ordinary person, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" How do you know I'm Ma Xiucai? ”

The man laughed and said, "Ma Xiucai is so famous, isn't it easy to want to know?" It's only natural for a mediocre person like me not to be known by Ma Xiu. He laughed and his eyes were almost slit, and his lips were cracked, and his misplaced teeth were exposed.

"What are you looking for me? Please speak quickly. I hurried home. Daddy said.

The man said respectfully: "I am Zesheng, the word Dingmao, the Guerjia clan, and the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner. ”

Grandpa was shocked when he heard that he was a Guarjia clan, this Guerjia clan is one of the eight major surnames of the Manchu people, and a close relative of the royal family. Before the Qing Dynasty emperor did not abdicate, the status of the people of this family was remarkable. Grandpa didn't know how many concubines of the Guarjia clan were in the harem of the Qing emperors of the previous dynasties, and he didn't know how many important ministers of the Guarjia clan were in the Qing court in the past dynasties, but he only knew that there was the prime minister Rong Lu and the military minister Wen Xiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which was enough to measure the status of the Guerjia clan.

At this time, although the last emperor had already issued an edict to abdicate and the status of the royal family plummeted, his grandfather, who was a talented man in the Qing Dynasty, still did not dare to slack off on the people with these eight surnames, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "It turned out to be a royal relative, it was rude!" ”

But Grandpa also has doubts in his heart. How did this Guerjia clan come to a place like Dayun Mountain? Still found yourself?

Hearing him report his home, my grandfather felt that his emperor was worthy of his name.

After the abdication of the last emperor, there were still many Qing Dynasty relics who were unwilling to die and wanted to restore and restore the old system. Especially those old jinshi, old lifters, and old showmen are the most emotional. They may sincerely follow the Qing Dynasty, or they may be really afraid that they will lose the fame they have previously gained. Therefore, some people with ulterior motives often unite with people with status who have gained fame in the Qing Dynasty to plot restoration.

Grandpa thought to himself at the time, could it be that this Zesheng was sent by the unwilling little court to contact me? Daddy decided to keep things the same.

Unexpectedly, Ze Sheng didn't mention a word about the imperial court, but he talked about the ninety-one chief. He said: "Do you want to know the meaning of the moon in the mirror that the ninety-one chief said? He spoke with a mysterious expression, as if a thief had stolen someone else's stuff and found someone to sell it.

"If the Taoist chief doesn't want to go into details, it's inconvenient for me to ask more, and I shouldn't delve into it." Daddy said.

"Don't you want to know where Xie Xiaomi's reincarnation went?" Zemori narrowed his eyes even wider. The net pocket on the shoulder swayed gently in the wind.

Grandpa saw that he knew what he wanted so well, and knew that he had come prepared. If you are anxious to ask, then it is likely to fall into his way and fall into his trap. So, my grandfather pretended to be indifferent and said, "God has its own arrangements for reincarnation, and I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Ze Sheng was in a hurry, hurriedly took a big step, blocked his grandfather's way, lifted the net made of the man's hair, and said, "Don't you believe my words?" We Guerga people never tell lies! After a pause, he added, "Although our Guerga clan is not as good as it used to be, I am the talker. ”

Grandpa's heart moved, but he still went straight forward, and his steps did not stop.

Ze Sheng retreated again and again, just not letting the way out, he said while retreating: "Ma Xiucai, do you know where the passage between this life and the previous life is? In a dream! Do you know where the alayas exist? Also in dreams! The dreams you have in this life may be remembered when you wake up at the end of the bed, but most of them are forgotten immediately after waking up, why is that? There are times in this life when the people you meet or the scenes you encounter feel very familiar, but you can't remember when and where you have seen them, why? Because of Alayya! Because of dreams! Because of the passage of the previous life! ”

Grandpa stood up and chewed Ze Sheng's words like a cow regurgitating: "The passage of the previous life? Dream? ”

Seeing that his father was impressed, Ze Sheng hurriedly nodded his head again and again, looked at his father expectantly, and said, "Well, well." A passage from a past life! I don't know how I remembered my past life, but I found a unique way to connect with my past life. And I'm good at finding that kind of channel...... Oh no...... I'm good at capturing what's in this kind of passage! With that, he shook the strange net.

The netting daddy didn't understand what it was for, and if it was fishing, the threads woven by his hair were too black, which simply reminded the fish that there was danger here; If it is a bird catcher, the hole is too big, and the bird can fly directly from the hole; If it is a butterfly catcher, the net cable is too thick, and it is easy to shoot the butterfly to death. However, the weaving process is very careful, and it should be useful.

"You mean you can know about other people's past lives through their dreams?" Daddy asked, skeptical. Ze Sheng said that when he often meets someone or a certain scene, he feels very familiar, but he can't remember when and where he experienced it, and this feeling is often felt by his father. In the Nyingchi area, my grandfather had this feeling when he first entered the dilapidated temple, and this feeling was very strong, as if he was visiting the old place again. In addition, the last time I settled in the dim hut of Jiuyi Long, my grandfather returned to his previous life in a trance, and had a dream in a trance. Therefore, it is indeed somewhat credible for Zesheng to say that dreams are the passage of past lives. But Grandpa couldn't tell if this Ze Sheng could really use dreams to find clues to his past life.

Ze Sheng was full of confidence when he nodded, without a little hesitation. The strange net bag shook violently, too, as if it was also full of confidence.

"Well, even if you can find out a person's past life through his dreams, but the dreams are all in this life, so what's the point of finding the past dreams? Living in a high mountain like Captain Jiuyi to avoid the world is probably the most likely outcome, right? Besides, you know that I want to know about Xie Xiaomi's reincarnation, and I don't care what means you used to learn about this information, but Xie Xiaoxiao has passed away, how do you get her dream? Daddy asked.

Grandpa's worries have their own reasons. Although this Zesheng claims to be able to find traces of his past life through other people's dreams, if the person being searched for is dead and has no dreams, how can he find it? There is rice to cook a thousand kinds of rice, and there is no rice to worry about the clever woman.

Ze Sheng smiled proudly: "Although Xie Xiaomi has passed away, there is always a time for reincarnation, right?" Once she is reincarnated successfully, won't she dream like an ordinary person? As long as her alayas remain, her heart ...... Well...... I'll find out. But it's a lot harder than what I've done before, like ...... Look for a needle in a haystack...... Still, there is hope. ”

Grandpa looked at Ze Sheng again, and then asked, "Since you are a close relative of the royal family, and you know these mysterious techniques, why did you come to me?" You always have a purpose, right? For money? If you have a background like yours, you must not worry about money. For the right? Not to mention, although the Qing court is no longer there, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. What are you for? ”

Ze Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said, "For fame!" ”

"Reputation?" Grandpa didn't understand what he meant.

Zesheng nodded and said, "Yes." Because your fame has grown, I heard people talk about you when I was in the capital. I have been obsessed with foreign arts since I was a child, and I am reluctant to embark on a career in office, nor do I want to use my family background to make money in business. So, I've been looking for real anomaly, not a shallow deceptive eye. ”

Grandpa sighed with emotion: "It seems that you really like the Xuanhuang technique." I used to be obsessed with reading, but my father stopped me from spending a lot of time, so I learned these things. But you still haven't told the truth, I'm not famous now, there are more people with a reputation than me, why are you looking for me? But if you don't say it, you naturally have your considerations, and if I force you to ask, I can only ask other irrelevant answers. ”

Seeing his father say this, Ze Sheng hurriedly said, "Thank you Ma Xiucai for your understanding." ”

"No matter what, meeting is fate, not to mention that you are from such a far away place in the capital. If you want, please come with me to my hometown thrush. I have a friend there who is very good at this, you can talk about it. Seeing that he was in shabby clothes and had a vegetable face, Grandpa knew that he had run out of money, and that he was helpless here, and desperately needed a place to stay.

This hit his mind, and Ze Sheng bowed happily and said, "That's great!" These days, I rely on stealing a little of the offerings of Dayun Mountain to eat, and sleeping in Taoist temples that leak everywhere. ”

"Why don't you ask the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple to take you in?" Daddy asked.

Ze Sheng sighed: "Now that the world is so chaotic, many people can't eat enough, so there are many fewer people who come to the mountain to worship. There are few people to worship, and the Taoist priests drink porridge with clear soup and little water, how can they take me in? But I haven't been in the mountains for nothing, and I've learned a lot of the secrets of the ninety-one chiefs. ”
