Chapter 129: The Return of Millet 4
"And what living creature are you going to throw into it?" Luo Buzhai asked.
"Fresh fish?" Dad remembered seeing living creatures swimming at the bottom of the first well near an abandoned textile factory.
Miss Tie said, "Whatever living creature can absorb yin qi, use whatever living creature is." This horse brother knows better than me. ”
Grandpa said: "Since you can explain the method of destroying the feng shui of raising ghosts in such detail, why don't you ask someone else to do it?" As long as others do what you say, they can still achieve their goals, why do you call me? ”
"First, you have this need yourself. You married Miss Zhao, this is just to save Miss Zhao from being threatened by Chu Guihou, but you haven't completely solved this problem yourself. If you don't go to him, he will find you sooner or later. Second, not everyone dares to go against the ghost fighters, but you dare. Third, you know the art of Xuanhuang. If it is someone else, even if you know this method of cracking, you may not be able to find the ghost fighter, and you may not be able to find the place where the ghost fighter hides the corpse. Only those who know a certain amount of Xuanhuang art can find a ghost fighter and find a place to raise ghosts. Miss Tie said three reasons in a row, and all of them were indeed unshakable.
Grandpa himself knew that if he hadn't known the location of the well that night, it would not be easy to find the dry well.
"Okay. When do you think it's better for me to do this? Daddy asked.
Miss Tie said, "Of course, the sooner the better." This method of cracking is slow, and it takes time for the yin qi in the well to change from prosperity to decay, and it also takes time for the corpses in the well to change from intact to decay. In addition, the corpse skin can wrap the yin qi in the body, and it is not very easy to dissipate, if the ghost fighter finds that there is a problem with the dry well feng shui, he will move the corpse to a more hidden place. That would be all for naught. Not to mention the grass and snakes, the ghost fighters will definitely retaliate fiercely. This is also the reason why most people dare not do it. Before you came to my ghost arena, I had the idea of dealing with him, but unfortunately there was no suitable candidate. When I met you that night, I was so intent on pulling you into my camp that I didn't think of that. It wasn't until you left that I remembered that you were the best person to do this. After speaking, she casually glanced at Luo Buzhai again. She found that Luo Buzhai was also staring at her, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be asking for something, but it was inconvenient to speak.
She also saw a fluffy mouse perched on the beam directly above Luo Buzhai, with eyes as black as grapes, seemingly interested in what they were talking about.
"Okay, let me rest for two days. Two days later, I will deal with Chu Guihou according to the method you said. You've come all the way here, and you need to rest. I have a lot of empty rooms here, so you can choose two to live in. Daddy said.
It turns out that the transportation is inconvenient, and if there are distant guests for red and white ceremonies, the host must stay for a few more nights, otherwise it will seem disrespectful to the guests.
Miss Tie was unceremonious and immediately agreed.
After drinking tea with them, Grandpa chatted for a while, and then asked Luo Buzhai to arrange a house for them.
After a little free time, my father went to Xiaomi's room again, and saw that Xiaomi was sitting by the window with his eyes closed and taking a deep breath in the sunlight that shone in, so he didn't disturb.
Seeing her gracefully accepting the sun, Grandpa felt that she was just a grass, and felt that she was hiding in a gap in this room when she was still a seed, but no one else knew about it.
Perhaps one day a wind poured in and blew her out of the cracks and fell into the sun, so she absorbed the energy of the sun, and finally woke up from her slumber, broke her buds and grew into a grass.
That Junshan's millet, the millet that has been imprisoned for nearly ten years, the millet that suddenly appeared at the wedding, but it is the millet of another world. They are all millet, they belong to different worlds, just like the other selves they met in Wuzhen.
Millet is devouring the sunlight, and her face is full of comfort.
After a long time, Xiaomi finally stopped moving and opened its eyes.
"Ma Xiucai?" Xiaomi saw her grandfather standing next to her and panicked.
Grandpa nodded and said, "I'll do the same." ”
Xiaomi suddenly changed from panic to curiosity, and said suspiciously: "Really? ”
"Of course." Grandpa said seriously.
"Then you and I are the same kind of person?" Xiaomi said happily, as happy as if she had found a little friend to play with, almost jumping up.
"A kind of person?" Grandpa was stunned.
"That's right. When I was in Junshan, I told people that I could eat sunshine. They all called me a liar. Xiaomi said.
"Oh, then we're really a kind of people." Grandpa laughed.
After speaking, Grandpa fell into deep thought≡ his own method of absorbing sunlight was taught by Master Emeishan Mihai, and Master Mihai's master is likely to be his previous life, so this method of sucking sunlight is still his own. And millet learned to smoke sunlight by chance, and it does have something in common with itself.
According to Ruoli and Jiuyi's elder matter, Grandpa has long thought that the love in this life is likely to come from the previous life. Could it be that this method of smoking is also related to my previous life with Xiaomi, or beyond? Grandpa's thoughts were in turmoil.
"Ma Xiucai, what are you thinking?" Millet asked, looking up.
Grandpa came back to his senses and smiled, "Oh, I was wondering what kind of people we belong to. By the way, you haven't studied or gone to school before, so you can learn to read and write with me in the future. But I won't force you, you can learn if you want to, and you won't learn if you don't want to. ”
"No, I'm going to learn the art of Xuanhuang from you!" Xiaomi said loudly.
"Where did you hear that I knew how to use the Xuanhuang Technique?"
"Yesterday when I was sitting outside waiting, I listened to a lot of people tell you about your legend. I want to be like you! Xiaomi's voice became smaller and smaller, apparently because she was afraid of her father's refusal.
Grandpa wanted to refuse, but it could be seen that she was expecting and scared, so she couldn't bear it, so she had to nod and say, "Yes." But you still have to start with literacy and writing. If you don't know a lot of words, you won't understand a lot of things. As the old saying goes, 'Cangjie makes words, and ghosts cry at night.'" When Cangjie created the word, the ghosts cried. Ghosts are afraid of people being literate, so you have to be able to read and write first. ”
Xiaomi was puzzled: "Why does the Cangjie word maker cry?" ”
Grandpa said: "Because of words, the secrets of the creation of the universe will be revealed." Masters can pass on their knowledge to others, so that others can also know the secrets of the creation of the universe, so the gods and ghosts weep for it. ”
"Okay. I'll learn it quickly. "Xiaomi is full of confidence.
"Come with me to the study now, and I'll teach you how to write." Daddy said.
Millet nodded.
So, the two of them stayed in the study until Luo Buzhai called for dinner before coming out.
After that, my grandfather taught Xiaomi to read and write as long as he had free time, until his grandfather's biological mother Zhao Xianyun died.
Xiaomi is talented and intelligent, and can learn everything as soon as it is ready.
Miss Tie stayed for a day and left. She was going to Chengde Summer Resort. In the pre-Qing Dynasty, Chengde Summer Resort was almost the capital outside of Beijing, and when the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors were in power, they spent about half of the year in Chengde. Emperor Jiaqing and Xianfeng died of illness here. Therefore, Chengde was a very important place for the Manchus. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there were still many Manchus left there. That's where Miss Tie was born. Her parents were important ministers of the palace. Every time the emperor of the Qing Dynasty led tens of thousands of people, including princes and ministers, the Eight Banners army, and even harem concubines and royal descendants, to hunt in the Mulan cupboard in the Mongolian steppe, he had to pass through the summer resort. Miss Tie's father was the main minister who received the emperor, and he had a prominent position at the time.
Today, Miss Tie's family is still an important figure in Chengde.
According to Miss Tie herself, her determination to fight against Zesheng was precisely because of her father's support. Her father believed that Manchu history was over, just like the Mongol dynasties in the past. If the clansmen still want to make a comeback, they will only lead the clansmen into the abyss≡ since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there have always been two forces in the big family of the Manchus, one to seek restoration, and the other to prevent restoration.
Before coming to Thrush Village, Miss Tie had already received a secret letter from Chengde, saying that the restoration forces wanted to cause chaos in Chengde and intended to eliminate the Murcha family, which is now the Tie family. So she wants to go back to Chengde.
Luo Buzhai said that it was inconvenient for the two women and that he wanted to send them to Hankow.
Grandpa thought it was strange that since Luo Buzhai came to Thrush Village with him, he had sent guests to Laohe at most, and almost never sent farther. This time he was actually going to Hankow. However, Grandpa thought to himself, maybe Miss Tie saw that I was going to Dayun Mountain to deal with Chu Guihou, and it was not good to trouble me to send it again, so she privately begged Luo Buzhai to send it. Since she is preventing the restoration, maybe there are sworn enemies on the road, and it is also a good thing that Luo Buzhai can take care of them.
So, Grandpa promised Luo Buzhai to send them off, completely unaware that they had conspired to deceive him the night before.
The day after Miss Tie and Luo Buzhai left Thrush Village, Grandpa went to the vicinity of the abandoned textile factory where Chu Guihou was hiding.
Before leaving, Millet wants to go with him. Grandpa felt that the journey was too far and the situation was dangerous, so he did not agree. He asked Zhao Xianyun to help teach Xiaomi to read and write, and asked Yu Youyang to help take care of Xiaomi's daily life and diet. Zhao Xianyun and Yu Youyang promised one by one, and he left with confidence.
Grandpa heard a squeaky sound in the duffel bag halfway through, and when he opened it, it turned out that the bamboo slipper had sneaked into the luggage and followed.
This time, my grandfather went to the vicinity of the textile factory during the day. Chu Guihou continued to participate in the ghost fighting competition with high rewards from scrap iron dealers, and he must rest during the day.
Grandpa easily found the dry well last time, then uncovered the yellow paper talisman, avoided the female corpse in the well, and threw a few small carp into the well.
He originally thought of using Qin Xian small fish, but he felt that this small fish could absorb yin qi, but the amount absorbed was too small, and the monkey year and horse moon could make the corpse rot due to the lack of yin qi. The carp is the "green dragon" of the "left green dragon and the right white tiger" in the Taoist "four spirits", absorbing a large amount of yin qi, which is much greater than the effect of the small fish. And the dragon itself is yang, which can destroy the yin qi in the well, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Grandpa thought about stealing the woman's corpse directly last time, but now he realized that his idea was not right at that time. The female corpse that has become a ghost fighter has an extremely strong yin qi, and the corpse thief must hurt herself. Once you hurt yourself, let alone steal the body, you can't get out. And if there is a mutation in the corpse, the ghost fighter can also perceive it thousands of miles away, so stealing the corpse must be leaked.
Only this method of secretly destroying the feng shui in the well can make the fighting ghosts and fighting ghosts lose their strength unconsciously. People are like this, they are too stressed by sudden changes, and they are aware of subtle changes, although in fact, the results are the same.
