After a busy day and a night, I can finally lie down and have a good rest, but before I can lie down comfortably, the master suddenly said, "You can sleep if you are missing, and you are not allowed to sleep on the seventh day of the first month!" ”

"Huh?" My heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, which tendon is wrong in your old man?" Why can't you sleep? ”

I look at the bed at the moment and it is even closer than Master, if Master doesn't have an absolute reason to convince me, I will have to lie down and sleep this time!

The master stretched his waist, then lay lazily on the bed, and said casually, "You have just started, and you want to be lazy because your foundation is unstable?" If you have a hard time to eat in the future, meditate for an hour first, and then read the "Shangqing Sutra" again before falling asleep! ”

After listening to Master's words, I only felt a trace of black lines in front of me quickly crossed, but in the face of this, I was really powerless to refute, yes, I did have an unstable foundation, and even the foundation has not been solid, on the contrary, when I saw Shangguan Jin just now, his mental power was obviously very strong and strong, and I estimated that he could easily put me down if he concentrated his mental power now and pinched a spell, I have to say that Shangguan Jin's cultivation is more than one or two times higher than mine, or even more than ten times,

Fortunately, my hard work for so long has not been in vain, when I was secretly competing just now, I can confront him for a moment, but only for a moment, if it weren't for the master's timely words to stop it, I think I would be very embarrassed, yes, I should practice hard, at least I can't let that Shangguan Jin look down on me, and I won't let the master follow me to be humiliated!

After thinking about it for a while, I settled down, and immediately nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”

Sitting cross-legged on both knees, this time the master passed on a finger print to help me practice, that is, the Tai Chi seal, this mudra can make the practitioner quickly reach a state of meditation, abandon distracting thoughts, and can make meditation achieve twice the result with half the effort, this mudra is to hold the four fingers of the right hand with the tiger's mouth of the left hand, and hold the thumb of the left hand with the tiger's mouth with the right hand, at the same time, the thumbs of both hands each touch the Laogong acupoint of the other palm, so that the thumbs of both hands form the shape of "Taijitu" in the tiger's mouth, and the big fingers are in the palm of the other hand, which is the two eyes of the Taijitu. It is used to connect its own yin and yang two qi, and the remaining four fingers represent the "eight trigrams", and the hands are one yin and one yang, so it is also called the "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Bagua Chain".

The master said, if it is the yang hand to protect the yin hand, and the yin hand to hold the yang hand, it is the meaning of "negative yin and yang" in the Tao Te Ching.

After pinching out the Tai Chi seal with both hands, I quickly entered an ethereal state, only to feel that the yin and yang qi in my body were in the process of pranayama on their own......

I don't know how long later, I was awakened by a stream of heat emanating from my body, and I thought that my whole body was on fire, but when I put away my handprint, I realized that the air flow all over my body was a thick wave of air, and at this moment, all the fatigue and discomfort disappeared, and I only felt that my mental state was better than ever.

The light on the oil lamp was obviously much darker, and it was estimated that I had been meditating for a long time, so I got up and picked out the wick, and then saw that Master and Bu Yique were already asleep, I looked at Master gratefully and grinned, although Master had a stinky mouth, but in his heart he knew how to express his love for me, and knew what I needed most.

After many days of study, I gradually had a new understanding of the mysteries and mysteries in the scriptures, just as I was ready to rearrange the mantras and talismans with great interest, as well as the thirty-seven sets of Maoshan Shangshang formations mentioned in the book, if it was possible, I really wanted to learn all the Tao now, so that the master would not always worry about me, and even more save me from always embarrassing the master.

But it's no accident that it's just a coincidence, I just put the "Shangqing Sutra" into the Dharma bag, and suddenly I was startled by a gong beating sound on the street outside, "Dong Dong Dong ~~~" The sound of the gong is still going on, is there something big going on? !

I got out of bed and put on my shoes, and Master woke up immediately and got out of bed and got dressed, but Bu Yique was "happy in a dream", and the big gong outside didn't wake him up, so I hurriedly asked Master, "Is there an accident outside again?" ”

The master shook his head solemnly and said, "Strange things have happened here recently, and I don't know what happened this time, let's go out and have a look!" ”

I nodded, and was about to follow Master out of the room, but immediately thought of Tian Xiaosan's mother was still in a coma, should there be someone to take care of her at home?

I didn't have time to think about it, I flew up and kicked on Bu Yique's ass-

"What's wrong?! The seventh day of the new year! What's ......?"

The voice suddenly came out of Bu Yique's mouth, and then Bu Yique jumped out of bed and shouted in panic, but when he saw me staring at him quietly, he suddenly exhaled a breath of air, and drooped his head and said: "The seventh day of the first month, you can't stop for a while?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the matter?! ”

I didn't have time to ridicule Bu Yique, who was crying and mourning, so I casually dropped a sentence: "Something happened outside again, I'll go and see it with Master, but the old man in that house is still half yin and half yang, you kid pay more attention at home!" ”

Bu Yique sat on the bed, looking like he was about to snore, and when he heard this, he waved his hand casually and said, "Go ahead, I'll be careful." ”

As soon as I walked out of the door, I suddenly turned my head again, but I saw that Bu Yique had returned to his original position and continued his spring and autumn dream, and I was speechless......

"Knock Knock~~~" "Knock Knock~~~"

The rapid sound of gongs was still ringing, and when we came out, we could barely reach the slightly anxious old voice that accompanied us: "Dead man, dead man!" Dead man, dead man! ”

The sound of gongs one by one, and the word "death" came out in all directions, in this dark night, people don't feel a little trembling and uneasy, originally the dead are a very ordinary thing, who has no old man who is born, old, sick and dead, isn't it? But this is Tongyao Town, since we came here, we have not encountered an ordinary thing, a large group of people crazy to grab a dollar, can help people against the sky to continue their lives, as well as the evil madman two mules, the townspeople who disappeared for no reason, the ghosts of the midnight street parade, etc., all show one thing, even if there is another fart the size of a sesame seed here, it will instantly become a big event, not to mention the dead.

The air at night is a little cold, even a little cold, maybe I'm too sensitive, so I always feel a little cold in the air that shouldn't exist!

Although the sound of gongs resounded throughout the street, there were very few townspeople on the road, and even if you were worried and scared, who would dare to run down the street in the middle of the night? No, there are a few people who are also dressed as tolerances, needless to say, they are people from several security brigades.

In addition to the people of the security brigade, there were also a few townspeople with torches standing in the distance, and it is estimated that a few people who can come out like this are also very bold, or they are men with some skills.

Two security guards were bending down to inspect several corpses on the ground at this time, and next to them stood five large-brimmed hats holding small iron rods, opposite a short and fat but well-behaved middle-aged man, he was more special in that he was carrying his hands behind his back, and wearing a pair of white gloves, staring at the corpses on the ground with an indifferent face, I had heard of this, he should be the legendary security captain.

Master and I walked forward quickly, and immediately two security officers raised their small iron rods and pointed at us, saying, "Our security captain is handling the case, and the idlers will wait to see if they are far away!" ”

If it weren't for the you have here, Master and I would have gone to find the treasure of the mountain gate a long time ago, and Master politely nodded to the two of them, and motioned for me to stand aside with him.

All the while, the white-gloved Humpty Dumpty didn't turn his head to look at us.

After a while, the two personnel who examined the corpse stood up, saluted the white-gloved Humpty Dumpty, and said respectfully from the person on the right: "Report to the captain, the three deceased are two men and one woman, one male is about forty years old, one is more than thirty years old, and the female is nearly forty years old, the cause of death of the three is unknown, the preliminary judgment is that they were bitten to death by wild dogs, the time of death is unknown, the preliminary judgment is three days ago, the signs of poisoning are unknown, and the preliminary judgment is that it is fatal with a blow!" ”

The air at the scene suddenly condensed, and the few men who were still whispering behind us were stunned, and the master was also staring at the three corpses on the ground, and now ...... Now it's up to Humpty Dumpty to say it.

Humpty Dumpty looked at the three corpses again, immediately raised his hand and rubbed his nose, and said in great surprise, "What? Wild dogs bite to death? Bitten to death three days ago? No signs of poisoning? It can't be, they died three days ago, why did their family report it now? ”

The reporting officer lowered his head with a sad face, then raised his head and said, "Because the corpses are all stiff, the preliminary judgment of the time of death is ...... Between three and seven days. ”

Humpty Dumpty immediately frowned, then rubbed his nose again, and said, "You see that one by one, the whole neck is blackened, there is really no sign of poisoning?!" ”

The two reporters glanced at each other, then nodded in unison and said, "Hmm! ”

Humpty Dumpty pondered for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is for you to solve the problem, not for you to give Lao Tzu a problem!" Vice, where are the families of the three deceased now? ”

Immediately, a tall and thin young man stepped forward and walked out of the queue and said respectfully: "Captain, because I was worried that the deceased's family would be overly sad and disrupt the scene, I asked my brothers to guard each house and didn't let them come out!" ”

Humpty Dumpty rubbed his nose and nodded: "The deputy team is thoughtful, now bring out one of the deceased's family members, I want to verify the specific cause of death and the time of death!" ”
