Chapter Fifty-Seven: Heaven and Earth
"Eyes and ears?" Xiang Feng and I looked at each other and said at the same time.
Master smiled slightly, nodded, stretched out his two hands, and pressed Xiang Feng's shoulders respectively.
"Rest for a while, and I'll call you when it's almost time for dinner."
With that, the Master walked out.
In Qimen, there are Tianmen, Dihu, Tianmu, Dier, Qinglong, Huacani... And so on, all kinds of azimuth terms. The ancients marched and fought in battle, and 'those who send troops should turn their backs on the eyes of heaven and ears to the earth', which is the so-called 'eyes of heaven and ears of the earth'. However, the 'eyes and ears of heaven and earth' that Master is talking about here is not a term of direction, but a spell in the Faqi Gate...
In the evening, Yang Shujun bought hairtail, local chicken, and other ingredients from the market, and made several dishes, which tasted quite good, but Xiang Feng and I ate absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong with you two?" Yuxin asked as she bit her chopsticks.
"They?" Yang Shujun wiped the oil on his mouth, "I like you, Xiao Leng is thinking about how to hold you and Xiaoxing into his arms, as for Ah Feng, he is thinking about how to squeeze Xiao Leng, a greedy boy, into the country of Guawa..."
Yuxin picked up a long piece of fried hairtail, and with a horizontal pair of chopsticks, he stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat yours, uncle, it's Java, not Guava." ”
"Oh, when did Uncle Yang become a roundworm in my stomach?" I laughed.
Yuxin glared at me, "Do you want to eat hairtail too?" Eat, don't come and go..."
Master and Xiang Feng both laughed and said nothing.
After dinner, Xiang Feng and I sat and stood in the side room, waiting silently.
"Aren't you tired? Walking around. Xiang Feng asked.
"What, you feel sorry for me?" I tilted my head and squinted at him.
Xiang Feng smiled slightly, "Master Leng already has two sisters who are distressed, and they can't be greedy..."
I was about to 'bully and bully' him with sharp teeth, when I heard Master's voice outside the door.
"Leng'er, Ah Feng, let's go."
I opened the door with a 'whoop' and jumped out first.
"Master, where are you going?" I asked.
Master glanced around the night sky and said in a deep voice, "Follow me." ”
The night was clear, without a hint of wind, but it was very cold, and the stars seemed to be frozen in the sky. Master was carrying a big bag in his hand, and Xiang Feng and I followed closely behind and walked out of the house to the west. It was only ten o'clock, but the townspeople were already asleep.
The three of them spewed white air and walked on the frozen hard open road, and the sound of footsteps came and went. When we came to an alley, we turned north and walked for five or six minutes until we came to a large abandoned mansion at the end of the alley.
The house was quite large, and both gates were demolished. When I came to the empty courtyard, I saw that the wall was full of residual snow and white flowers.
"Master, are you teaching us right here?" I looked around.
The master nodded and said, "It's giving, not teaching." ”
"Shi?" Xiang Feng and I said in unison.
"That's right." The master looked at his watch, "Wait a minute, I'll cast a spell to help the two of you open the eyes of heaven and open the ears of the earth..."
I was stunned for half a minute, took out a cigarette, divided one for each person, and the three of us squatted under the porch, smoking and chatting. Master told us that the Heavenly Eyes and the Earth Ears are two ancient spells, which were used in ancient times to march and fight, and they have long been lost. The so-called Tianmu is similar to the Tianyan, but whenever the Tianmu is opened, when it is applied, you can see all kinds of 'military qi', such as ambush qi, fierce general qi, conspiracy qi... And so on, and the ear is used to eavesdrop on military information and intelligence, but if the ear is opened and used within ten miles, you can hear the conversation between the commander and the soldiers in the Chinese military tent...
"It's too godly!" I was surprised, and then asked, "Master, which of the two of us will open the Heavenly Eyes and who will open the Earth's Ears?" ”
"Ah Feng opens the eyes of the sky, you open the ears of the earth." Master said, "But remember, in general, you should not use it lightly, let alone use it in bad ways. ”
"What's the wrong way?" I scratched my head, "For example, the earth ear can't be used to eavesdrop on the private conversation of newlyweds, doesn't that mean Master?" ”
Master smiled, "Pretty much." ”
"Where's that day?" Xiang Feng asked, "After opening, do you have the ability to see?" ”
"Yes." Master said, "In addition to this, you can also see evil energy. ”
"What about ghosts? Can you see it? I asked.
"Yes."
I licked my tongue enviously, "Master, is it okay for me to exchange with Ah Feng, I open the eyes of the heavens, and he opens the ears of the earth." ”
"Of course not, it depends on personal potential, Ah Feng's eyes are stronger than yours, he can see the black qi of the Chongsha Human Seal Hall, which is suitable for opening the eyes of the sky. Leng Er, you have a lively personality and smart ears, which is suitable for opening the ears of the earth..."
I said in my heart, okay, when the time comes, I will open the ears, but Yuxin is smiling, she will definitely pull me and her little black together at every turn, I have enough nicknames, what ''cold girl', 'Rory gossip mage'... This is another 'cold little black'... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but pout and pick at my shoes one by one.
"Alright, it's about time, get ready to cast a spell." Master got up and stood up, "I'll wait a minute, I'll help Ah Feng open the heavens first, Leng'er, you go out and guard the door, just in case someone or an animal or something comes in, as for you, I don't call, you can't come in..."
"Okay."
I nodded, came to the door, squatted on the ground, looked around for nearly an hour, and was about to collapse, and finally, Master's voice came from the courtyard.
"Leng'er, come in."
I jumped in, only to see that the master was changing formations, and Xiang Feng was standing outside the formation in a daze, and I pushed him.
"How's it going?" I asked.
Xiangfeng nodded.
"I'll see."
I leaned over to Xiang Feng's face and looked closely, but I didn't feel any difference in his eyes from before.
"Come on, Ah Feng." I took two steps back and lifted my clothes up, "Try it with your x-ray and see if you can see what's in my stomach." ”
Xiang Feng smiled slightly, "You don't need to look to know that it's all flowers." ”
"Heh... Your mouth is oily, did you learn from Uncle Yang..."
"Alright, don't make a fuss." The master has already finished changing formations, "Ah Feng went out to guard, it's time to be cold... Leng Er, stand in the circle..."
This is a small paper figure, candles, alcohol lamps, yin symbols, yang symbols... Wait, the formation is very complicated, I stood in the middle of the formation as I said, and the master took out a silver needle.
"Master, these needles... Did they all stick to me? I swallowed.
"Yes." Master nodded, "Pierce all the acupuncture points on your head and neck, close your eyes later, and remember, once you cast the Dharma, you can't move... Ready to get started? ”
"Wait."
"What's wrong?"
"I... I'll scratch the itch first..."
Master smiled helplessly.
"Is that okay now?"
"Hmm."
I took a deep breath and slowly closed my eyes. After a while, I listened to the sound of the master's stepping and chanting, flickering far and near. Suddenly, I felt something pierce my eyebrows, itching slightly, and then, the philtrum, cheeks, neck, and back of the head were all stabbed... It was a very uncomfortable feeling, like biting a little bug... I remembered Master's words and didn't dare to move, my underwear was almost soaked with sweat... My head must look a lot like a big hedgehog, I thought to myself.
I don't know how long it took, Master's chanting became more and more ethereal, and finally I couldn't hear it, and I felt as if I had entered a silent dark world. Just when I was at a loss, suddenly, two thin, white 'things' suddenly appeared in this dark world, one left and one right, and before I could 'see' what it was, my ears 'buzzed'... Then I listened to all kinds of sounds, and I don't know where they came from, the cries of children, the moaning of old people, the snoring, the swaying of branches, the sound of fires, the rattling of the ice... And so on, and so on.
All the voices disappeared, and I heard the master say, "Leng'er, it's okay." ”
I opened my eyes and reached out to touch it, and my face was bare, and the silver needles had been removed.
"Master, is that okay?"
Master nodded, and said that my ear has been opened, and then Master explained to me how to apply the ear, and once again instructed me not to use it lightly...
The next day was a cloudy day, it was cold, after lunch, Yang Shujun went out with his chopsticks, and came back happily in the evening, carrying large bags of ingredients.
"It's too cold in the moon, you have to make up for it." Yang Shujun said.
"Okay." I smiled.
Eating and drinking at night, Yang Shujun's eyes straightened. After eating and drinking, I rubbed my stomach contentedly, burped back to my room, fell asleep on the bed. Before dawn, I was woken up by Yang Shujun's moaning, as if I was giving birth. Cloaked and got out of bed and came to Yang Shujun's room, only to see that the master and they were all there.
"What's the matter, Uncle Yang, are you going to give birth?" I asked.
Yuxin screwed me.
"Stomach aches, his grandmother's, oops..."
"Who told you to eat so much?" I pouted.
The master started a game, and under a break, acute enteritis. The master helped Yang Shujun into the car, Yuxin started the car, and the three of them went to the city hospital. I went back to my room and went back to sleep, and slept until dawn. When I got up, I didn't know where Ah Feng had gone, and I was left at home. After warming up some leftovers from last night, I squatted down in the yard and leisurely lit a cigarette.
At this time, the little fox 'hummed chirp' ran over, I reached out and grabbed it, and the little fox rolled to avoid it.
I couldn't help but feel childlike, "Little fox, you run, I'll catch you, see if you can catch it?" ”
The little fox 'hummed' twice. One person and one fox, you chased me in the yard, and I had a lot of fun, and I didn't even notice that someone came in, until the man cleared his throat 'ah-cough', and I was startled, so I stopped.
When I looked over, I saw that this person was not tall, round, tightly wrapped up and down, wearing a hat and glasses, and could not see his true face.
"You are?" I asked out of breath.
"Excuse me, is Jieli from Zhang Youcai's father's family?" The man spoke in a Cantonese accent.
"Oh yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm looking for him..."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
As soon as I finished asking, the man suddenly laughed and took off his hat and glasses.
"Master Leng, don't you even know me?"
I took a closer look, and it was actually Wei Niuniu's boss Yan in their town.
I sighed, "Who do I think, why do you make Guangdong look like a spy?" ”
"I'm going to surprise you." Boss Yan spread his hands.
I couldn't cry or laugh, "Brother Yan, what's the matter?" ”
"Wei Niuniu misses you, ask me to come to see you, those big girls in my factory also miss you..."
"Okay, don't be idle, I'm busy."
Boss Yan smiled, and then said, "Master Leng, I have something important to look for you..."
