I smiled slightly, "Do you think I'm going to give up?" ”

Copper lock and Li Yang glanced at each other, didn't say anything, copper lock patted me hard, and nodded appreciatively.

Xie Ling put down the rice paper, closed his eyes slightly, raised his head, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he took a deep breath slowly. After a while, when I opened my eyes, the whole person seemed to be different. He beckoned Li Yang and the copper lock, lifted the Eight Immortals Table aside, vacated a large area in the middle of the room, and then took two futons and put them down face to face.

He motioned for me to sit on one of the futons, and asked Qin Dan to bring a copper incense burner and put it between the two futons. He took out three long incense sticks and handed them to me: "Liu Yang, light it, be pious, and then insert it into the incense burner." ”

I knew that the road was coming, and my heart was pounding, but I didn't regret it. I lit a long incense stick with a lighter and carefully inserted it into the incense burner, and the incense was faint and white smoke wafted out. Xie Ling sat on the futon opposite, let me learn from him, knees crossed, palms stretched out, the two of us held hands in the air, and the long incense burned in the middle.

Xie Ling explained to Qin Dan that if the long incense suddenly broke when it was burned, or if it burned two long and one short, he would immediately cast a spell to summon us back from the realm of visualization. Qin Dan gritted his teeth and said, "What if you can't recruit it back?" Xie Ling smiled: "Then go to the sanitation and pour a bucket of cold water on our heads." ”

Xie Ling looked at me and said word by word: "Brother, if there is an accident for a while, I will protect myself first, and you can ask for more blessings." ”

I know he's not joking, it's really life-threatening.

"No problem. You should go, go yours. I grinned.

"Close your eyes." Xie Ling said. I slowly closed my eyes. His voice lingered in his ears: "Viewing is the mind, thinking is the mind." Thoughts are like flowing water, and hearts are like rocks. The incense elephant crossed the river and intercepted the stream. The first Zen, the state of mind; Two Zen, the joy of life ......"

The sound was empty and faint, like a sound from outside the sky, and it was pitch black in front of me, like in a chaotic dream, and the voice was like a faint sound of guidance, which made me feel like I couldn't help but follow.

This feeling is really like a dream, I don't open my eyes at all, the image is naturally generated in the brain, not what I see is not imaginary, but naturally born, this is visualization? As I was pondering, the scene gradually became clear, and in front of me was a dark and closed room, which looked particularly like a tomb, with walls made of black stone, low and cramped, and very depressing. There were two dim lampstands lit in the room, and in the dim light, I saw a strange scene.

In the room was a large black vat with water in it, and in the vat was a person soaking with only his head exposed. Her black hair was scattered and she floated on the water, her face pale and bloodless, her lips bright red, and her eyes showed a look of extreme sadness and despair. It is said that mourning is greater than the death of the heart, and when I saw her, I understood what kind of state it is like for the heart to die completely. Despair makes people want to cry.

When I saw her, I cried. This person is none other than Wang Xue.

Under the wall opposite the black tank, there was a person half-sitting and half-lying, and my breathing suddenly became short, it was Li Damin! The lampstand was faint, his expression was calm, his hands were not empty, he was stroking something. If you look closely, it turns out to be a black dog's head.

Now I feel weird, like a dream, the perspective can't be manipulated at will, but what is happening in the room is clear at a glance. I couldn't participate, I couldn't express myself, I could only watch quietly in nothingness.

I know that dog head, it is the Cerberus statue dug in the secret passage, but I didn't expect it to run into Li Damin's hands. Li Damin stroked it for a moment, and with a force in his hand, he seemed to break off something. It turned out to be the black stone that was embedded in the dog's head.

The stone is smooth, oval-shaped, and looks slippery, with a dense surface full of fine holes. Li Damin shook the stone at Wang Xue in the vat, and then lay on the ground, like a lizard, and crawled over with his hands.

Climbing to the front of the tank, Li Damin stuffed the stone into Wang Xue's hand outside the tank and let her hold it. Wang Xue suddenly sobbed: "Can this save me?" ”

Li Damin sighed: "I can't." There is no cure, but it can be diagnosed. Let you know how the disease came about. ”

"I'm terminally ill, what can I do if I know the truth?" Wang Xue said desperately.

"Take this as a lesson and accumulate merit, this life has been ruined, and you will be a good person in the next life." Li Damin said softly.

The more I listened, the more wrong it became, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and Wang Xue didn't seem to have been kidnapped by Li Damin.

"What is this?" Wang Xue asked.

Li Damin patted her delicate hand and said, "This is called the Sansheng Stone, which can observe the Sansheng, your previous life, your present life, and your next life." If you look at your previous life, you will be able to see where the cause and effect of this life come from. ”

"What was your last life?" Wang Xue asked.

Li Damin smiled: "I'll tell you a story, legend has it that once upon a time, there was a three-life stone that came out of the water, and many people came to visit, wanting to see their past and future lives." Some people see in the stone that they were prostitutes in their previous lives, and some people see their afterlife as pheasants. There is only one scholar who is very exceptional, unlike others, in the Sansheng Stone, he can neither see his past life, nor his future life, he only has the present life. ”

"You're the scholar." Wang Xue said lightly.

"Yes, I can't see the next life." Li Damin smiled: "However, you are different. Look at it and you'll understand. ”

Wang Xueping was lying on her back at the mouth of the tank, and the water surface rose with her movements, overflowing a little. She held the stone, closed her eyes, and shed a tear on her pale face. Li Damin crawled to her side, stroked her long hair with his hand, and whispered: "The old spirit on the Sansheng Stone, don't talk about the moon and the wind." I am ashamed that my lover visited him from afar, although this body of the opposite sex lasts forever......"

With the word "save", the scene in front of me changed again, first blurred for a while, and then gradually clear. I saw that this was an ancient hall, the main seat was the red sandalwood Taishi chair, behind the chair was a large case, hanging on all sides of the screen every year, a few red wooden pillars to the sky, furnishing quaint furniture, neatly arranged porcelain antiques, the most eye-catching is a transparent fish tank, in which a few red carp swim.

There was a man in the hall looking at a landscape painting hanging on the wall with his back hand. As soon as I saw this person, I was suddenly stunned, it turned out to be the gloomy old man on the rice paper. The old man was wearing a long-sleeved grass-green staff suit, wearing a staff hat, with his body bent, and he was looking at a painting in a daze.

Although I am a layman in landscape painting, I can also see that this painting is wonderful, the mountains and rivers, the ink strokes, the whole painting does not have a trace of water, but I can feel the vastness of the smoke and waves, leaving the water blank. There is also a poem inscribed next to the painting: Do not refine the golden pill, do not sit in meditation, do not plough the fields for businessmen. If you are idle, you will sell it in the green mountains, and you will not make evil money in the world.

The old man had words in his mouth: "If you are idle, you will sell it in the green mountains, and you will not make evil money in the world...... Tang Xie Yuan is a madman, but he doesn't know that he can enjoy Qingfu only if he has longevity and wealth. ”

At this time, a girl in Tsing Yi with a double mustache ran in from outside the door, looking panicked: "Master......"

"What's wrong?" The old man looked at her coldly.

"Stove...... The stove is ruined, and the old fairy let you pass. ”

The old man stomped his foot, leaned on his mahogany cane, and the little maid carried him out of the back door of the hall, and went step by step to the backyard. Before I got to the backyard, I saw green bamboo bushes, sticking out from the courtyard wall, and a plaque was erected at the gate: Fairy Garden. This yard is really beautiful, the ancient wood and the forest, the moon pavilion, at first glance, it is a rich and noble family. As soon as I walked in, I saw a side house in the courtyard, and green smoke came out of the door. A few children in yellow were so confused that they coughed in the wind.

The old man lit his crutches, so angry that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and he couldn't stop scolding.

At this time, a child came out of the room, seven or eight years old, like a silver doll, but wearing adult clothes, looking weird, and his expression was also very adult. He laughed loudly as he walked, completely in the voice of a child, milky and milky.

The old man said angrily: "Immortal Lin, Brother Miaosheng, why do you have such a smile?" ”

The child who was called Lin Miaosheng said with his hands behind his back: "I laugh at my old man and is too suspicious." The matter of the furnace fire is the most taboo, and it is afraid of outsiders colliding. It's good that the old man planted a servant boy beside me, and it was not easy to refine the Immortal Pill, so they were all ruined. ”

The old man hurriedly gave his hand: "Immortal Lin, don't misunderstand, I'm afraid that you will be tired, so I will find a little servant to serve, I don't mean anything else." ”

Lin Miaosheng said: "Nowadays, people in the world believe in Dan Dao and are obsessed with immortality, and there is an endless stream of true and false Fangshi, so it is no wonder that the old man is suspicious. ”

"Immortality, everybody likes it. If I can cultivate into an immortal body like you, an old immortal, I will be content. I am getting older year by year, I know that the limit is coming, and I am anxious to see the loss of thousands of family fortunes. ”

Lin Miaosheng raised his head and smiled, very hearty and quite imposing: "I laughed at my father-in-law's house guarding an immortal tree, and I was still obsessed with not knowing, and I was stunned to seek the law outside my body, as if I was in the opposite direction, and the more I cultivated, the farther I cultivated." ”

The old man came to the spirit: "Please also ask Immortal Lin for advice." ”

Lin Miaosheng beckoned to him: "You come with me." ”

Lin Miaosheng led the way, and several maids supported the old man, following with crutches. Bypassed a few courtyards and came to a side courtyard. Lin Miaosheng didn't go in, and pointed with his hand: "The immortal tree is in the courtyard." ”

The old man squinted and wondered, "No." The yard was empty. ”

"Don't you think she's that?" Lin Miaosheng pointed and saw that the window of the courtyard room was open, and a beautiful girl leaned out halfway out and was supporting the window with a wooden stick. When I saw this woman, I was shocked, and the horror in my heart was indescribable.

I didn't know her, and I was horrified by one thing.

On the woman's left wrist, a fluttering butterfly is tattooed.
