Sitting dry and boring, there are no books to read, and there is no paper, ink, pen and inkstone to entertain. Daddy closed his eyes again and sat down in the candlelight. Grandpa thought to himself, if you can smoke it in front of the sun, then maybe you can also smoke it in front of the candlelight.

Although Daddy's eyes were closed, there was a dark red in front of his eyelids, and he could see that the dark red was strong and weak, which was caused by the candle flame. Daddy calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and then inhaled gently.

With this inhalation, Daddy felt a spicy and choking smell of smoke coming straight into his mouth.

Daddy hurriedly opened his eyes and stopped smoking.

The scene in front of him surprised my father. The candle on the table of the Eight Immortals looked like it was new just now, but it was already half shorter at this time! The wick of the candle hung down like a dead earthworm, apparently burning too fast just now, and the wick did not have time to burn fully. It turned out that just inhaling made the candle burn very quickly.

Grandpa pondered the reason and guessed that the candlelight was weaker than the sunlight, so when he inhaled it just now, the candlelight was sucked in much faster than the sunlight, just like drinking soup much faster than eating. The candlelight is sucked up quickly, so the candle burns quickly, and half of it is burned in the blink of an eye. The light of the candle flame burns with smoke, which is not as pure and natural as the light of the sun, so it will have a spicy and choking smell.

As for why you can smoke the light of the candle, Grandpa has his own judgment in his heart. All the light and energy in the world comes from the light of the sun, the light of the yin, the light of fireflies, the light of ghost fire, and the light of firewood. The light of the sun is the embodiment of the reflection of the sun's light, the light of the firefly is the embodiment of the sun's light being absorbed and transferred to the tail of the firefly, the light of the ghost fire is the embodiment of the unvented breath of the dead, and the light of the firewood is the embodiment of the sun's light accumulated by trees and grass leaves.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. The evil of people is only lonely, widowed, and not valley, and the prince thinks it is called. Therefore, the thing may be lost and gained, or the benefit and loss. What men teach, I teach. Those who are strong will not die, and I will be the godfather. After thinking about it, Grandpa unconsciously read such a sentence.

"Most people in the world think that the Taoist way of non-action is negative, but in fact, it is just exhaustive research into the origin of all things in heaven and earth. Humility and inaction are not to give up getting along with the world, but to get along with the world. That's why there is a saying that 'the good is like water, the water is good for all things without fighting, and the evil of everyone is better than the Tao'. Grandpa sighed to himself.

When Grandpa was talking to himself, the female body in the red gauze tent actually sat up slowly.

Seeing this, Grandpa hurriedly stood up and asked, "Who are you?" How did it end up here? When Daddy heard from the bustard that there might be a guest who had drunk too much and left the wrong room, Daddy thought it was another guest or a prostitute who had broken in before he came in, so he was surprised and not afraid.

The female body in the red gauze tent whispered, "I am the bamboo beauty you want." ”

Grandpa retorted: "Bamboo beauty is made of bamboo, it should be a dead thing, but you are alive." Did the bustard tell you to come here to steal the beams and change the pillars? Grandpa thought to himself, maybe the bustard was still on guard, and a different girl was here to serve him.

The female body in the red gauze tent said, "I am made of bamboo." I don't believe you, open the red gauze tent and take a look. ”

Grandpa walked to the bed, reached out to open the red tent a little, and sure enough, he saw that the female body was made of bamboo, with a torso and limbs, and the workmanship was exquisite and delicate, almost comparable to Li Xiaocheng's straw beauty. The only drawback is that the female body has no eyes, and the sunken eyebrows are then smoothly passed over to the face. The face of the straw beauty is drawn with paper, so it has eyes; This female body is made of bamboo, and the bamboo weaving is not good for weaving eyes, and the workmanship can hardly reach the level of realism, so it is ignored.

"I heard that Bamboo Beauty is having fun in her dreams at night and can't move, how can you move?" Daddy wasn't afraid. Ordinary people will definitely be frightened when they see this kind of scene, and they will flee from the door. But my father has seen too many scenes that are more terrifying than bamboo beauties, so he is very calm after being shocked.

Zhu Meidao: "I just heard you say some Taoist opinions, and I admired you, knowing that you are not an ordinary person, so I got up to meet you, so as not to hurt you tonight, or harm myself." ”

"Hurt me? Harm yourself? What do you mean? Daddy asked.

"yes. You don't know, outsiders say that here is not only the red silk tent can be lewd, but also in dreams, between the virtual and the real people forget whether it is in heaven or on earth. In fact, they don't know what's at stake. I see that you are a master of Xuanhuang, once you peep through, I will be difficult to continue, so I will tell you first. Bamboo Beauty said.

"Is there a mystery in it?" Daddy asked again.

Zhu Meidao, she and that Zhu Meiying are not actually a person or a soul. Zhu Meiying's soul is in the body of the bamboo beauty, but when there are guests, they have a different division of labor. Zhu Meiying does use her soul to seduce the soul of the guest, and do the lewd pleasure in her dreams. And she leans over the guest's lap and sucks the customer's dust roots to help the fun. But it's not the end goal. When the guest can't be suppressed and pours thousands of miles, she inhales it and captures the yang energy.

Grandpa remembered Situ Zi's method of picking yin and yang, and asked: "Since you are a bamboo beauty and don't worry about beauty and aging, why do you want to do such a thing?" ”

Zhu Mei said: "One is the persecution of the old bustard, and the other is self-cultivation." ”

Grandpa remembered the story he had heard from Dorjee when he was in the radish village and the men and women intersected and made the stone become essence, and thought that there should be many cultivation methods for the essence of people, not just Granny Wu.

Grandpa was puzzled: "You tell me all this, aren't you afraid that I will hinder your cultivation?" ”

Zhu Mei said, "You won't hinder my cultivation." ”

"Why?"

"Why do you hinder me? If you break me up or burn me, the bustard will be another bamboo beauty. Although I am ashamed of you for absorbing Jingyang, my nature is not bad. If the other bamboo beauties are here, they may not say this to you, don't you? Bamboo Beauty said.

Grandpa nodded and said, "Although I know that you are saying this to protect yourself, I also think so." But I have been entrusted with one more thing to take from you. ”

"Entrusted? Oh, I see, it's that poor girl in Wuzhen, right? You put your hand in my mouth, scoop it in my stomach, and you can get it. With that, Takemito opened her mouth.

Daddy put his hand out of her mouth, grabbed a few handfuls, and sure enough, he caught a rag doll, and then pulled it out.

"I took this away, how do you explain it to the bustard?" Grandpa saw that she did not resist, and took pity on her.

Zhu Meidao: "You are too kind-hearted, why do you worry about others everywhere?" You don't have to worry about me, even if I don't give it to you, you will take it. If the bustard asks, I say that you can't fight, but you will be forcibly taken away. ”

"That's good. I'll go first. Daddy put away the doll and said goodbye to her.

Zhu Meiren stopped him again and said, "If you want to leave here with a rag doll, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Grandpa hesitated: "Could it be that you have changed your mind, or do you want to stop me?" ”

Takemi: "No. I want to warn you that the bustard won't let you go so easily. You sit down first, don't rush. She patted the edge of the bed.

Grandpa shook his head and said, "I have something to say." I'll just listen here. ”

"Have you ever heard of the dog god?"

Daddy shook his head.

Zhu Meidaodao: "This old bustard has a lot of ways to come, she can not only imprison the souls of people, but also use the souls of animals. In addition to grabbing the soul you want to save, she also raised a few dog gods. Making a dog god is a kind of evil art, an evil art that drives the soul of a dog. Hunters need dogs for hunting, and some warlocks also use dogs to ward off evil spirits. Hunters use live dogs, which can bite their prey; Warlocks use dog souls, which can bite souls. I saw the process of the bustard making the dog god. First of all, the live dog must be buried in the earth, with only the dog's head exposed. Then place the dog food in front of the dog so that it is salivating, but do not feed it. The dog will feel pain from hunger, and when its pain reaches its peak, the dog's head will be cut off with a knife. The resulting dog spirit will be at the mercy of the warlock. ”

Grandpa said: "This is somewhat similar to capturing the soul of Zhu Meiying." Zhu Meiying was also in extreme pain, and when she was about to die, she captured her soul. ”

Zhu Meiren nodded and said, "This old bustard is not simple. In my opinion, she is good at capturing souls. You can come and go in my room. But in this building, you can get in, but you may not be able to get out. As a bamboo, I should have been outside Tsinghua University, in it, elegant and refined, and not flattering. However, he was invited by this old bustard to make a beautiful figure for people to play and be obscene, so he could only swallow his breath for the time being, absorb the essence of yang, and secretly cultivate, so as to escape from this hellish cage at the right time. Today, seeing you perform a unique sucking technique on the candle and say those words, I know that you are many times more advanced than my cultivation. So to help you today, there is also selfishness. If you can escape from this building today, and he will return here tomorrow to destroy the remnant, please let me go for tonight's sake. If you can't escape today, but you're subdued by the bustard, I'll continue to wait for the right time. ”

Grandpa was impressed by the scheming of the bamboo beauty. Her words not only not only let him accept her favor and wait for reciprocation in the future, but also showed that she was not in the same league and colluded, so that he could let her go with peace of mind.

Grandpa asked, "I will definitely write down your favor today." But if you can't get out today, it's another matter. Sending the Buddha to the West, since you have reminded me to pay attention to the dog god of the bustard, can you tell me how to deal with the dog god? ”

Zhu Mei said: "It's easy to say, dogs can't change eating." You go to the thatched hut on the north side and pick up a toilet. If you hear a dog barking but you don't see it, you throw the toilet bowl at the place where the sound came from. They can't eat food until they die, and their cravings for food have reached their limit. After you splash it, they will naturally only focus on fighting for food, and they will not care about you. ”
