Chapter 112: Three Bows and Nine Knocks
When I walked into the room, I saw Ji Banxian lying straight on the bed, wearing a thick black robe and cotton clothes, and his feet were wearing cloud climbing shoes.
I was stunned for a moment, this ...... Isn't this the costume of a dead man?
"Kneel and kowtow!" When I saw me coming in, I said majestically.
It's just that there is sadness in the majestic voice that cannot be concealed in the slightest.
Kowtow?
I'm going to kowtow to Ji Banxian? Why!
This guy has hurt me so badly, I still have to kowtow to the enemy? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Ji Banxian didn't harm me, I wouldn't give him such a big gift.
I was just about to stand up when a pair of strong, strong hands pressed against my shoulders.
"Kowtow!" The master looked at me condescendingly, and the hand on my shoulder was like a thousand pounds of iron, making me unable to move.
"But he is not my benefactor, nor is he my master, I kneel to heaven and earth to my parents, why should I kneel to him?" I looked at him stubbornly.
It turns out that I will do whatever my lord asks me to do, but too many things have happened in the past two months, and I look down on my friends around me.
When I thought I could treat people with my heart and lungs, but betrayed me one by one, this kind of mental torture greatly reduced my respect for my lord and the so-called trust.
If the master had made everything clear to me, he would have asked me to do anything, but now without saying a word, let me kneel to a person I have a prejudice against him, I really can't do it.
"You ......" Ye's eyes bulged, and he saw that I also stared at him wide-eyed, and finally he compromised.
"That's it, that's it!" Ye sighed helplessly, "Don't you want to know?" Well, let me tell you, it's your business whether you kneel or not, and I won't force you. ”
After speaking, he sighed heavily.
This is the first time I've seen him sigh so many times in an hour since I've known him for so long, and the look in my eyes is getting more and more disappointed.
Am I really doing something wrong?
Looking at the back of my grandfather with his back to me, I was a little confused.
"Do you remember Ma Liang?" Ye asked.
I nodded, and said of course I remember, but after I came out of the ancient tombs of Longxing Mountain, I never saw Ma Liang again, and I didn't answer his calls, so I didn't know where I went.
Ye nodded, and then asked if I still remember what Ma Liang's body was like?
I said of course I remember, when I saw Ma Liang's rotten body, I was almost scared to death.
"Your body is like Ma Liang's body, in fact, you were already dead when you entered the Dragon Mountain Ancient Tombs, after you died, I brought your heart here and put it in a coffin, as for why you are still alive, you have not yet reached that level, I am not convenient to tell you, the only thing I can tell you now is that your body has rotted, and you are now just a soul body, so, Ji Banxian and I, are recreating a new body for you, understand?"
Silence, deathly silence.
I was a little confused, as if I understood, but I didn't seem to understand.
What do you mean by that? My body is already rotting? He's going to create a new body for me? That sounds a bit mysterious.
"Is it related to the meat I usually eat?" I asked softly, my eyes on Ji Banxian, who was lying on the plank bed and had died, as if I understood something, but I couldn't grasp the point.
Ye nodded and said yes.
"This meat is ......," I looked at Ji Banxian again.
At this time, I was surprised to find that Ji Banxian's body became a little transparent, to be precise, more and more transparent.
My brain twitched, and I didn't know what came to mind, so I touched his body with my hand.
The black cat and the master didn't stop it.
My hand passed through Ji Banxian's body in a daze, and there was no obstacle at all.
"This ...... What's going on? My eyes widened in surprise, and I felt that my brain was not enough.
"Because what you eat is his body." Ye said suddenly.
Miscellaneous......
What the?
I've been eating Ji Banxian's body all along? This...... How is this possible?
If I'm not mistaken, I understand a little bit of what my master said before.
The master said that he and Ji Banxian used a secret method to help me make a new body, but in this way, he sacrificed Ji Banxian's body and helped me shape my body again.
"But when I usually see him, isn't it also good? He's not missing any parts! "I'm still a little messy.
He patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to calm down.
After nearly ten minutes, the master slowly opened his mouth and asked me, "Haven't you always wanted to know where I went after I left you that day?" ”
I saw that he didn't answer my question immediately, but asked about it, but I nodded anyway.
"Actually, I came here with your heart at that time, just to discuss with Ji Banxian how to save you, originally we wanted to use the body of another living person to extract his soul, and then let your soul live in his body, but this is really against the principles of heaven, on the other hand, as long as this person is not voluntary, and there is no death, his soul has a trace of resentment in the body, if your soul can not fully integrate his trace of resentment, then you will become another person, and the possibility that he will control it, so that we do not want it. Ye said.
He nodded in understanding what he meant.
"Later!" The master said this and glanced at Ji Banxian, before he continued: "So Ji Banxian decided to sacrifice himself, let me use a secret method to extract his soul from the body, usually what you see is not him, but his soul, originally he decided that he would not tell you this secret until he died, but I didn't expect you to find out by yourself, now kneel or not, you choose for yourself." After speaking, he patted me on the shoulder again, and then led the black cat out of the house.
Until my grandfather walked out of the house, my mind was still blank.
The words that the master said kept echoing in his head: "I used a secret method to extract his soul from his body...... Originally, he decided that he would not tell you this secret until he died...... Kneel now or not, the choice is yours!! ”
I finally understood why Ji Banxian always let me eat meat, and I understood why Ye was so angry when he saw me throw that piece of meat on the table, and so disappointed when he saw that I didn't kneel Ji Banxian.
I never imagined that a stranger would make such a sacrifice for me, drain his own life, just so that I could live.
I used to resent him, thinking that he was behind the scenes, and that I was responsible for all this by this blind and dumb old man.
Just now the master asked me to take off my clothes and walk in on my knees, I was still reluctant, and my heart was full of disdain.
I raised my hand and slapped myself twice.
Is this still human?
The misunderstanding and resentment of Ji Banxian were all wiped out at this moment.
I stood up and walked out of the room again.
When he saw me come out, his eyes changed slightly, and his eyes were full of disappointment, but he didn't say anything, but sighed heavily.
I saw his eyes full of disappointment, but I didn't explain, but knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed three times towards Ji Banxian's widow.
He took off his clothes, pants and shoes, spread out his palms together, put them on top of his head, bowed heavily, and knelt into the room step by step.
At this moment, I knelt willingly.
This blind and dumb old man is equivalent to my reborn parents, and without his silent contributions, maybe I would have died if I looked for it.
But now I am alive, it was He who gave me the next life, He who gave me a second body.
By the time I knelt down into the room, my face was already covered with tears.
I once swore that I would not cry, but today these tears are like a flood that has discharged the floodgates, and I can't stop it.
I threw myself down in front of Ji Banxian's bed like a child, crying heartbreakingly.
Slowly, slowly......
Ji Banxian's corpse was like a extinguished bonfire, disappearing in front of my eyes little by little.
I shook and kowtowed three times at the empty bed.
When I raised my head, I seemed to see Ji Banxian nodding at me.
He had a long goatee, a plain tunic and a Buddha dust in his hand, just like the first time I saw him in Tianma Temple, and said to me, "You go, I don't help the dead to see their lives!" ”
