Chapter 22 Unloading the plough and killing the oxen
Chen Yingying has the impression that she is a quiet and extremely introverted person, and Liu Cheng speculates like this, I really think that her identity may be very special.
But what is the specific special method, Liu Cheng and I have no results, Liu Cheng looked back at the old man Li's house again, took me back to his home, and just arrived at home, he heard three cannon shots from his grandfather's house.
This is called the 'three-eyed cannon', which is composed of a three-barreled iron gun, stuffed with gunpowder, inserted into the lead, and after ignition, it will make three cannon sounds, and the dead people in the countryside will light the three-eyed cannon, and the rest of the people can know that it is a dead person when they hear the sound of the three-eyed cannon, and they can know who has an accident with a little inquiry, and if they have a good relationship, they will come to the vigil by themselves.
Grandpa has no descendants, it stands to reason that my father and mother should go to put on linen and filial piety for my grandfather, but Liu Cheng didn't let me go, the reason is that I only have two fires on my body now, and I can't go to places where yin qi is heavy, otherwise it will be easy to extinguish the remaining two fires.
But the mother didn't think so, and said to Liu Cheng, "There are two families surnamed Sun in the vicinity, if Sun Qing doesn't give his grandfather linen and filial piety, the people in the village may not know what to say about him after saying goodbye in the future." ”
What my mother said is indeed reasonable, Liu Cheng is for my safety, my mother is for my reputation, Liu Cheng thought for a while, and chose a compromise method, at night by my father and mother to guard filial piety, and during the day by me.
At present, it can only be like this, Liu Cheng said and walked to his father's room, went to the side of the bed and patted his father, and said, "I've been sleeping for so long, it's time to wake up." ”
Dad was photographed, and he really opened his eyes, twisted his neck to look at me and Liu Cheng, as well as the mother next to him, and then touched his neck and said, "My neck hurts." ”
When my mother saw that my father was awake, she said, "Thanks to Master Liu for saving your life, otherwise you would still be hanging on a tree." ”
When my father heard that he was hanging on a tree, he was immediately stunned, and asked in a puzzled way, "When was I hung on a tree?" ”
Liu Cheng said, "Think about it, what did you see during the time you slept? ”
Dad thought about it carefully, and after a while, he said, "I had a dream, I dreamed that Sun Qing's grandfather led two cows past my door, an old cow and a calf, and I asked him to come, saying that his old cattle are twenty or thirty years old, why did he give birth to a calf?" Sun Qing's grandfather said that the old ox is powerful, but the old ox can't plow the land now, and the calf has no strength to plow the land, so it's useless to raise it, and he is ready to kill and eat meat. No matter how hungry he was and didn't eat the ploughing cattle, no matter how poor he was, he couldn't kill the watchdogs, and the ploughing cattle couldn't be killed, so I persuaded him, but Sun Qing's grandfather didn't listen, and he tied the two cows to the old locust tree next to my house, and the little calf broke free of the rope and ran away, and the old ox was killed. By the way, when the cow was killed, there was a heifer who went to the old locust tree to look at it, and said that it was strange that the heifer saw the old ox and the calf tied to the tree, and actually opened his mouth to speak and called out the names of Sun Qing and me, but the old cow and the calf did not reply to the heifer, and then the calf ran away, and the heifer also left. ”
I looked at Liu Cheng and said, "Is that heifer Sister Zhang Wen?" ”
When Zhang Wen went to look for his soul before, he said that he saw me and my father hanging on the tree under my old locust tree, no matter how she called us, we didn't reply, and finally I jumped off the tree and ran, and my father hung on the tree.
Now what my father said is exactly the same as what Zhang Wen said, but what my father saw was a cow, and Zhang Wen saw a person.
Yoo Seung-eun sighed, "Yes." ”
Father and mother listened and asked in a daze, "Zhang Wen?" This is a dream, what does it have to do with the girl of the Zhang family. ”
Liu Cheng smiled and didn't elaborate, but continued to ask, "Did you see anything else besides Sun Qing's grandfather killing cattle?" ”
Dad thought about it for a while, and then he was suddenly startled and said, "By the way, I also saw that there is an extra temple behind my house, which seems to be a mountain temple, and the little heifer stood in front of the mountain temple for a while." After Dad finished speaking, he looked at Liu Cheng suspiciously and said, "Master Liu, is this dream I have a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
This is all something that has really happened, my father hasn't figured out the situation yet, and I thought it was a dream, my mother was about to speak, Liu Cheng preemptively said, "Good thing, dream of blessing in disguise, dreaming of killing a cow means that there is a cow that is about to become an immortal recently and will save your life." ”
"Really?" My father and I asked at the same time, my father asked sincerely, and I thought that Yoo Seung was talking nonsense, just to comfort my father.
Liu Cheng said very seriously, "Really." After nodding his head, he thought about it for a while, and continued to ask his father, "What about after the cow is killed?" What do you see again? ”
Dad picked his head, then hissed, then touched his neck and gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with my neck, are you sleeping?" ”
My mother and I watched very speechlessly, his neck would hurt, it was because it was hung on a tree, but Liu Chengdu told his father, probably because he was afraid that his father would be afraid, and we naturally wouldn't do it in one more move.
Dad rubbed his neck for a while before he said, "After Sun Qing's grandfather killed the cow, I was ready to go back to the house, but before I entered the house, I dreamed that his grandfather was chasing after me and wanted to come and kill me, I asked him if he was crazy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it turned out to be a cow scream, my heart was finished, I became a cow myself, his grandfather estimated that I was the calf that ran away just now, I didn't understand the language, he couldn't recognize me at all, and finally he could only run all the way, run to the mountain temple and push the door in, and his grandfather didn't chase me." ”
"Have you seen what's in the Mountain Temple?" Liu Cheng broke the casserole and asked to the end, his face looking very serious.
Dad thought it was a dream, but we all understood that this was what really happened, after Dad hanged himself, the soul ran away, and the grandfather would chase after him, and finally Dad ran to the mountain temple to escape the hunt of the grandfather.
Zhang Wen didn't get into the mountain temple, we didn't go in, I don't know what was in it, only my father had gone in, if I could know what was in the mountain temple, maybe I could explain this strange thing in my family.
Dad was silent for a long time this time, thinking about it, and finally shook his head and said, "It's too dark in the mountain temple to see clearly, but I think it may be a wolf inside, and the eyes are green, which is very scary." Dad suddenly stood up as he spoke, his eyes changed, and then said, "I'm not sure if it's a wolf in the mountain temple, but then I saw something, that thing is terrible, just standing under the old locust tree, keep calling my name, let me go back, I went out of the mountain temple to take a look, guess what I saw under the old locust tree?" ”
What he saw after he came out should be that Liu Cheng was conjuring spirits to guide the way at that time, so it is very likely that what Dad saw was Liu Cheng.
In my father's eyes, I, him, and Zhang Wen are all cows, my grandfather is a cow killer, and there may be wolves in the mountain temple, I am very curious about what Liu Cheng is in his eyes, and I hurriedly asked, "What do you see?" ”
Dad was about to speak, but Liu Cheng suddenly glared at his father, and his father's eyes suddenly dilated, first slumped, and then blinked and said, "What did I say just now, what is under the old locust tree, why did I suddenly forget." ”
I looked at Liu Cheng, it must have been Liu Cheng's manipulation, so I looked at Liu Cheng and said, "Master, don't be like this, it's just a dream anyway, I'm just curious." ”
Liu Cheng stared at me expressionlessly and said, "If you ask about this matter again, I will turn around and go back to the tomb, and then you will handle the affairs of your family yourself." ”
Because Liu Cheng is here, my family is safe and sound, if he leaves, I estimate that it will not take half a month for my family to really cut off children and grandchildren, my mother and father immediately pulled me, and then said with a smile, "Children don't know the severity, Master Liu, don't be surprised." ”
I also complained, "I don't ask." ”
Dad told him all about this dream, and then my mother told my father about the grandfather's accident, and the two of them prepared in the house for a while, and then went to the grandfather's house, leaving me and Liu Cheng in the house.
After they were all gone, I asked Liu Cheng, "Why did Dad see a cow?" ”
Liu Cheng said, "Taoism worships the Sanqing Patriarch, one of whom is called Daode Tianzun, he is riding a green ox, and you are all cows in your father's eyes, which means that your family is very likely to be involved in Taoism." ”
I asked, "You said that there would be a cow that was about to become an immortal to save us, is it true?" ”
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "That cow will appear tonight." ”
