Seeing that it was noon, before the visit to the Blessed Virgin, the members of the reincarnation family had to eat lunch together. When I arrived at the cafeteria, I saw long tables and hard benches, and everyone was silent, rushing in and coming to the front one by one to receive the meal. When I got to the queue, I saw that this meal was simply inedible, worse than the prison nest. The clear soup is scarce, and there are a few leaves floating in the vat, and I can't even see a bit of meat. The staple food is okay, one person has a white flour bun. Everyone sat in their seats and bowed their heads to eat, and the cafeteria was so quiet that you could hear a needle.

The dozen or so young men, with their hands behind their backs and grim faces, walked up and down the aisles.

Someone was eating, and immediately a young man fell into his ear and whispered a reminder. It's like going back to elementary school, where everyone behaves. After eating, everyone returned to the venue, soothing scripture music was played on the loudspeakers, and everyone sat cross-legged on their futons, their hands formed a sign of reincarnation, all closed their eyes, and shook their bodies slightly to the rhythm of the music.

The audience was silent and silent, everyone's hands were formed into a unified hand shape, and their expressions were extremely pious and devoted. This scene is suffocating to watch.

Finally, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the young men patted some people on the shoulders and motioned for them to go. The pretty girl photographed me, and she smiled: "Brother, it's time to go and see the Virgin." ”

I followed behind, worried, and when I met Liu Yan for a while, once she looked at me unpleasantly and crooked her mouth, these believers could tear me alive.

Alas, if you come, you will be safe, take one step at a time. There are about ** people in our group, mostly women, with long hair. Everyone walked in line in a solemn atmosphere, and I saw that their faces showed happy and excited expressions.

I got into the elevator and sat all the way to the 15th floor. I looked at it and was surprised, Liu Yan had so much money that she bought the entire floor, and the walls were full of signs of reincarnation and her images. She stands or sits in the posters, or embraces the blue sky with open arms, and under each one there are two big words written on it: Our Lady.

When we came to the door of a room, someone opened the door, and the young men who had brought us did not go in, but motioned for us to go inside. Inside the door was a large dwelling, and we took off our shoes at the entrance, went barefoot, and changed into gray robes. The outfit looked like a modified version of the robe, completely gray, with only a reincarnation logo embroidered on the chest.

Entering the main hall inside, the area is not small, it is estimated that there can be 100 square meters, but the scale is much smaller than the venue below. There were three rows of futons on the ground, and a man in black clothes and pants came up and smiled and motioned for us to kneel on the futon.

I knelt down on a futon in the last row of the last row, and peeked around, the women were very religious, kneeling on the ground with their heads hanging deeply, their long hair scattered.

I was a little puzzled, how could this scene be so familiar, and suddenly remembered, damn it, isn't this the future I see in the metal surface?

My heart was pounding, and I remembered that scene, and if I remember correctly, Hongchen would also appear in a moment.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly the music sounded, and a little girl about ten years old, wearing a dancing dress, danced out of nowhere. Came to us and sang a song in a childish voice.

I don't know who wrote this song, the tune is sad and desolate, and it seems to come out of the underworld, which is definitely a big atmosphere. The little girl sang, "Spring is coming, winter is gone." The child came, the old man left. The old man asked where the flame of the candle came from. The child blows out the answer, and it comes from wherever it goes. The old man asked, what are the wild geese for, I see you every year. The wild goose said, I am busy from north to south to see you gradually die......"

This song is too sad, revealing the helpless pathos of death, and the luxury of despair of life. The girl's voice is very high, always lingering in the high register, and this deep theme, sung in a child's voice, is particularly resonant. After listening to the song, including me, everyone present had tears in their eyes and couldn't help themselves.

A soft voice came out of nowhere: "Life is precious because it is only once." We are pathetic because we have no control over our destiny. But I, I can liberate you from the pain of life, infinite reincarnation, immortality, and enjoy the red dust to the fullest. ”

The female believer cried and shouted: "Our Lady Mother! "Everyone was prostrate on the ground, crying and calling for their mother.

The young man in black clothes and black pants came over and said with a smile: "Don't cry, everyone, now start paying homage to Our Lady of the Virgin, she will bless and protect the lucky believers today." ”

We all stood up and lined up to walk through a closed door inside.

From afar, I saw Hong Chen standing at the door, holding a handful of smoking incense in his hand, with a serious expression. Soon it was time for me, and she looked at me with indifference and strangeness in her eyes. Looking at her eyes, I knew that this person was not Hong Chen, in her body, it should be Wang Dongmei who was about to become an immortal.

I was so sick from her that I was about to cough a few times, but when I saw her gloomy eyes, I was so frightened that I held back. Quickly pushed open the door and walked in.

This one went in and stunned me. I originally thought it was also a residential room, but I didn't know that the house was actually built into a kind of Taoist temple-like dojo. The area is large, pale blue water brick paving, carved window lattices, a few wooden pillars hidden in the wall, and the outer part is sprayed with red paint. There is a shrine for the table in the corner of the wall, and there is a statue standing on it, which is Liu Yan sitting on the lotus. She was wearing colorful clothes, sitting on a red lotus, her eyes were slightly closed, and her facial features were simply lifelike.

In front of the offering table was a bronze incense burner, three feet on the ground, with thick incense ashes piled up inside, and three long burning incense sticks inserted, which were smoking.

The area of the open space in the middle is very large, and the believers who go first have formed a circle, and are slowly walking in a circle with the center as the center. I followed and joined the team.

In the middle of the circle, there was an old lady sitting cross-legged, and I was shocked when I saw it, it was the landlord's sister-in-law. She was ** all over, without clothes, she was simply skinny, her gray hair was scattered, her facial features were distorted, and her expression was very terrifying. Liu Yan stood behind her, caressing the top with her hand, her eyes radiating love and compassion.

I haven't seen her for many days, she is completely different from the beginning, the whole person exudes the charm of motherhood, kind eyebrows, wide and full forehead, big and bright eyes, which really makes people feel very pure and beautiful.

The landlord's eldest brother and daughter knelt in the circle, crying silently. The landlady's sister-in-law slowly opened her eyes and said tremblingly, "Holy Mother, am I going to die?" ”

Liu Yan lowered her eyebrows: "Yes." Your life is coming to an end. ”

The landlady's sister-in-law coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Holy Mother, can I be reincarnated?" ”

Liu Yan sighed: "You can turn." However, reincarnation comes at a price, and I don't know if you want it or not. ”

"As long as I can live, I am willing to do anything."

Liu Yan said word by word: "Reincarnation, one life is worth one life." ”

The landlady's sister-in-law coughed violently: "Our Lady, you, you let me kill someone?" ”

Liu Yan smiled slightly: "We are not crooked, and we will not trick our brothers and sisters into doing things that violate the law and discipline." She raised her eyes slightly to look at the landlord's daughter and continued: "Your situation is quite special, if you are reincarnated, you will need the body of a loved one to contain your soul. ”

The landlady's sister-in-law looked at her daughter and said tremblingly, "Holy Mother, you mean that if I want to be reincarnated and continue to live, I want to carry my daughter's body." ”

Liu Yan didn't speak, just nodded.

The landlord's sister-in-law's teeth chattered: "What about my daughter?" ”

After a long time, Liu Yancai said, "I will let the Dharma Protector send her to the Elysian Realm to die." ”

Seeing how artistic people talk are, dying is not called dying whole, but dying in the realm of Elysium. I understood everything, saying that it was reincarnation, but in fact, it was more similar to taking away the house, killing the daughter to death, leaving a body, and then letting the mother's soul go in and continue to live.

"Mom." The daughter knelt on the ground and walked two steps, came to the landlady's sister-in-law, threw herself into her arms and cried.

The landlady's sister-in-law gently stroked her daughter's hair: "Child, you have been wronged these days, and your mother knows that you are bitter in your heart." Don't worry, mom won't want your body, mom loves you, and I won't force you to do anything. After I die, take good care of your father, he will be in a nest for the rest of his life, you take good care of him, don't let him suffer......" said, the woman couldn't cry, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried.

The room was silent, and the circle we had formed stopped and everyone watched them silently.

"Mom." The daughter wiped her tears and choked up and said, "Mom, I agree to donate my body to you for reincarnation." Mom, I'll be honest with you, I didn't want to live for a long time, and the suicide note was written. There is nothing worth my nostalgia in this world, and the only thing I can't worry about is you and my father. I'm dead, I'm dead, and you're going to keep living, and you're going to take care of Dad! ”

"Good girl." The landlord's sister-in-law was crying breathlessly, and suddenly her throat made a strange sound, her body twitched, she rolled her eyes, and lay on the ground softly.

Seeing this, her daughter cried even more: "Mom, Mom, don't go." ”

Liu Yan came to her daughter and asked softly, "Make a decision, do you live or your mother live?" ”

The daughter knelt at her feet and said slowly and forcefully, "Mother, I am willing to give my mother's life for my life." ”

Liu Yan touched her hair and looked at the landlord's eldest brother, and Brother Chen knew that he was squatting on the ground and crying, and he didn't even have an idea. I sighed, this man is indeed a wretch.

Liu Yan said to the young man in black clothes and black pants: "Call the Dharma Protector in." ”

The young man walked out, and after a while, Hong Chen walked in. Liu Yan nodded at her and said, "My daughter agreed, let go of her body, and give her mother her life." ”

Hong Chen picked up his daughter and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Good boy, you are really filial, filial piety to heaven and earth." I'll overtake you. ”

I was dumbfounded and chilled. Liu Yan looked left and right and suddenly saw me. I looked at her, Wang Dongmei didn't know me, but Liu Yan did, she looked at me and obviously showed a smile. I was almost peeing when she laughed at her, my scalp was numb, and I secretly regretted that I was too impulsive, and now I fell into the wolf's den, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to.

Liu Yan just glanced at me, and soon her eyes fell on the landlord's sister-in-law. The sister-in-law was lying on the ground, her whole body was clumped into prawns, and her legs were completely thin like two bone sticks. The young man in black touched her pulse and said in a deep voice, "She's gone." ”

Hong Chen took out a few yellow talismans from his arms, quickly pasted them on the forehead, palms and soles of his sister-in-law's corpse, and then shouted angrily: "Pull the curtains." ”

A few believers ran to the window and closed the heavy curtains, and the light outside was suddenly blocked, and the room was dark. Hong Chen placed an incense burner in front of the corpse and inserted a long incense stick. Then she took a red bottle, I don't know what red liquid it contained, she dipped it in her hand, and began to draw a mysterious spell on the corpse of **.

I was looking stupidly, someone touched me, it was a guy in black. He handed me a handful of white sand-like things and whispered, "Follow the team and sprinkle it around the corpse." ”

"What is this?" I asked.

"Glutinous rice flour can form an enchantment around the corpse, so that the imp will not take her soul away." The guy said.

I followed the team, one by one, walked up to the corpses, sprinkled one by one, and then went back in a circle to get another handful and continue to sprinkle. It didn't take long for the corpse to be scattered white all around, forming a circle.

In the middle of the circle, the body of the landlord's sister-in-law was lying straight, Hong Chen was cross-legged beside him, his hand dipped in blood-red dye, and slowly drew ghost talismans on the corpse.
