Chapter 9: The Old Stick

I was in a daze, I don't know how much time has passed, I don't know how many places I've been, in short, Lu Chengshan has found many people, including reclusive veterans, monks, well-known masters of traditional Chinese medicine, foreign experts, but no one can cure me.

From their conversation, I know some of my own situation, Lu Chengshan cast a spell to disperse the soul of the demon fox at the same time, and my soul was also scattered, although he stopped in time and did not shock me to death on the spot, but my soul is already incomplete, mixed with the soul of the demon fox, entangled with each other and cannot be separated.

The human body has three souls and seven spirits, the three souls are hidden in the spirit, and the seven souls are hidden in the body, and the human soul in the three souls controls the mind and wisdom through the heavenly spirit and the spiritual wisdom in the seven spirits, controls the movements of the whole body through the spirit, strength and central spirit, and controls the essence blood and physical state through the spirit and heroism. This is a very complex process, which affects the whole body, and as long as one soul or soul fails, it will cause serious consequences.

I lost two souls and four souls, and the only remaining one soul and two souls were suppressed by the demon fox, so I couldn't move at all, if it wasn't for my strong will, I wanted to zaijian to my mother's side, maybe even zuihou would have lost a little of his ability to hear and think.

The demon fox's soul is far more powerful than mine, but it bore the brunt of being dispersed by Lu Chengshan, and it was seriously injured and paralyzed, and it had to compete with me for control, so it couldn't move my body, so it froze, to put it simply, I became a vegetative person, and I could only rely on nutrient infusion to sustain my life.

It's easy to destroy, it's hard to build, it's not difficult to break up a person's soul, it's too difficult to regather the soul, and it's even more difficult to break up the soul of a person and a demon and then want to separate and reunite. For example, it is very difficult to pour a bottle of black ink and a bottle of red ink into a glass of water at the same time, stir it, and then try to separate it without damage, and it is ten thousand times more difficult to separate the soul than to separate the ink.

What's more important is that metaphysics has declined, and there are very few people who really have the ability, and now the so-called capable people are not as good as the Taoist children who served hundreds of years ago, so no one can solve incurable diseases. As for the emerging science, it is not even certain whether the soul exists or not, let alone the treatment?

After many ineffective treatments, Lu Shenshan finally lost his patience, and it happened that the department where he was attached had an urgent task, so he took the opportunity to get out and send me back to my hometown through the relevant departments.

On that day, more than a dozen leaders of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Education Bureau sent me home, and they said that I had suddenly suffered a stroke during class, which was a medically incurable case. Out of humanitarianism and the state's care for outstanding teachers, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Education Bureau gave a subsidy of 50,000 yuan. In addition, I was "injured in the line of duty and retired with honor", I was given a certificate and a certificate, and I received a pension every month......

I can't speak anymore anyway, so whatever they want to make it up.

My mother fainted before she could finish the story, and the life of an orphan and widow was not easy, and she pulled me up with hard work, and it was difficult for me to go to school, and finally I looked forward to the day when I came out, but my son went out and came back horizontally, and there was no hope of treatment. At this moment, her heart was torn to shreds and fell into the bottomless abyss, an uneducated rural woman, what else could she do but cry at this time?

Neighbors and well-wishers from the same village came to visit me, but nothing more than shaking their heads and sighing, saying a few words of comfort, and sending a little heart, could not help me more.

Zuihou was left with only my mother, my grandmother, my uncle and aunt. My grandfather has passed away, my grandmother is a local, and now she lives with my uncle, and my uncle and aunt are honest people, the children are in high school, and the family is not rich, so they can't help much, so they can only accompany my mother to tears and sigh.

My mother was originally the daughter of a large landowner in Zhenghe County, but when my mother was born, my maternal grandfather, who was a "local tyrant and inferior gentry", was already a class enemy who was criticized, all his property was confiscated, and his life was difficult. Later, when there was a great famine in the 60s, there were seven or eight children in the family, and they couldn't survive anymore, so they had to sell my mother.

My mother suffered a lot later, and she was angry about it, so many brothers and sisters, weishenme favored her? Her parents are eccentric, so she can't be blamed for being ruthless, so although she found her relatives later, she was reluctant to associate with her parents. When I was admitted to the normal school, I borrowed money from several uncles, but I only borrowed a total of 500 yuan from my grandfather and grandmother, which hurt my self-esteem and my mother, and I had less contact with these relatives after that.

In short, there are no officials or wealthy people in my immediate family, and no one can help me if something like this happens, let alone track down the truth and settle accounts with Lu Chengshan.

I was drowsy for a while, and when I came to my senses for some time, I heard my grandmother come in with a man who was coughing all the way and was short of breath, and I knew who was coming just by hearing the cough. This person is fifty or sixty years old, his hair is thin and greasy and sticking to the top of his head, his face is sallow, his eyebrows are thin and his eyes are small, his nose is pointed, his appearance is obscene, and he is even more filthy, and there is always a thick layer of oil on his clothes, and the smell is stinking, and everyone is afraid of gods and ghosts.

This old man is not only dirty, but also sick, it is tuberculosis that can contag people, and he coughs and spits everywhere he goes. With such an illness, he still couldn't leave his cigarettes, and several of his fingers were burned yellow. What's even more disgusting is that he is lazy to eat, always loves to eat in other people's homes, says kind words in his mouth, and never shows mercy, and sometimes uses his "black chicken feet" with long nails to grab things directly to eat, since reading Mr. Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji", I call this gentleman Kong Yiji.

I once heard that Kong Yiji was a Mr. Yin and Yang, and some old people in the village often got together with him, but I had never heard of what ghosts he caught and what demons he fell, there is no doubt that he was a god who cheated on eating and drinking, maybe my grandmother was crazy and thought of inviting him, right?

I heard my grandmother and mother respectfully call him Mr. and invite him to sit down and serve tea and cigarettes. Kong Yiji said that he was not polite, but he enjoyed sitting there and accepting the hospitality in full, and then asked me what happened to Weishenme, but my mother and my grandmother could not answer a word, they had no idea what had happened to me.

Kong Yiji began to look at my eyes, then pressed the pulse gate for a long time, and then touched the skull, zuihou his burnt "braised chicken feet" stopped on my forehead, and a disgusting breath penetrated into my mind......

I actually felt his hand!

I was suddenly a little excited, for so long, I didn't feel anything other than hearing, but just now I clearly felt him pressing my pulse, and now I can feel his breath entering my head, is my body starting to improve, or does he have a different ability?

"Sir, is there a way?" Grandma asked nervously and apprehensively.

Kong Yiji began to cough non-stop, then sighed, and said after a long time: "It's very serious, you can show me his birthday." ”

When my mother hurriedly reported my date of birth, Kong Yiji pinched his fingers and read a word, and there was no movement for a long time, I seriously suspected that he was dragging time, thinking about how to fool my family, my illness was beaten by Lu Chengshan, and it was about my birth date? Although I've seen hanged ghosts and vixens, I'm still very repulsive about the magic stick, let alone such a profane stick that is extremely obscene.

"If it had been a few years ago, I hadn't been so sick, there might have been a way to ......," Kong Yiji finally spoke, but he was giving me a death notice.

Mother and grandmother grabbed a straw like drowning people, begged bitterly, promised a lot of thanks, and sure enough, the old god stick changed his words again: "Judging from the eight characters, physiognomy and bones, there is still salvation, I can give it a try, but there is a medicine that is difficult to find......"

Grandma hurriedly asked what medicine leads, even if it was to kill her, she was willing.

Kong Yiji hesitated and said: "If I am not mistaken, his soul has not returned to its place, and another goblin is attached to him, if you save him, the goblin will also reunite his soul, whether he can survive at that time, it is not for me to decide, but to see its mood......

My mom and my grandma were dumbfounded, how did they know what to do when something like this happened? And I was a little shocked that Kong Yiji was able to tell me about my cause and symptoms in general, this is not an ordinary god! It was as if I had seen a little starlight in the night, and a little hope in the midst of despair.

Kong Yiji...... No, I'll still call him his real name in the future, Zhou Tan, Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Tan seemed to be talking to himself: "Although the heavenly soul and the earth soul are not in the body, if the person is still alive, it will not really disperse, and the soul should be able to be recruited back when he returns to his hometown; The seven spirits are scattered, but they are all in the body, and there is still the possibility of reunion. Other medicines are easy to find, but it's hard to find them just because they are blind to the nine turns and the yang grass......"

My mother hurriedly asked, "What is the Nine Turns Yang Grass?" ”

"The Yang Grass is also called the Soul Returning Grass, the Longevity Grass, and the Water Returning Yang Grass, which is immortal, and can be resurrected after drying and soaking in water. Ordinary Yang Returning Grass is easy to find, but what I want is the Returning Yang Grass that grows on an extremely high cliff and has died nine times and has been born more than nine times, and within a few hundred miles of our vicinity, only the cliff on the top of the fairy rock may have. ”

My mom and my grandma were immediately stunned.

I know what kind of place Xianyan is, it is still a primeval forest, and the mountains are dangerous, especially the cliffs on the top of the mountain, and there is only one place to climb up. It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a female Taoist priest who cultivated on the top of the mountain peak and became an immortal, and repeatedly showed miracles, so someone built a small temple on the top of the peak, enshrined the statue of the god, called Xianniang, and the mountain was also called Xianyan.

There is a kind of sandalwood growing on the stone wall at the top of the fairy rock, which grows slowly, and only grows into a small tree in a hundred years, and the thousand-year-old tree only has a little real sandalwood in the heart of the tree, so it is very precious. Who within a radius of a few hundred miles doesn't know that the sandalwood tree is worth it? To this day, no one dares to attack, firstly because the cliff is too difficult to climb, and secondly, because there were once greedy thieves and herb pickers who have inexplicably fallen off the cliff. The hundred-meter-high cliff fell, and no one died several times, but was seriously injured, so the more it was spread, the more godly, who would dare to go?

Now Zhou Tan wants the Nine Turns on the top of the Immortal Rock to return to the Yang Grass as a medicinal guide, of course, I am worried about my family.

Zhou Tan smiled: "If there is a person who goes, he will definitely be able to pick it, and this person is only Aunt Zhang, and you can invite it." As long as he is willing to go, he first burns incense and prays in the temple, explaining that it is for life-saving purposes, and he should not be greedy to dig up other things, and nothing should happen. ”

Grandma hurriedly asked, "You mean to call Lao Linzi to go?" ”

"Yes, that's him!"
