On the way to Nanchang, I have been thinking about one thing, that is, how did the widow Tian know that my surname was Li?

The more I thought about this matter, the more mysterious it became, and in the end I only came up with a reasonable explanation, that is, before Old Man Xuan left, he had already calculated that I would come to him, so I arranged all this for Widow Tian in advance.

If that's really the case, then isn't this old man too mysterious!

It was not too far from Ganzhou to Nanchang, but it took a few hours to arrive.

I inquired all the way and finally found the address that Widow Tian had given me.

Although it is in Nanchang, it is basically a suburb of Nanchang, and the surroundings are very remote, but the traffic is better, the buildings are a little more exquisite, and the others are not much different from the countryside.

I followed the house number to find the hiding place of Old Man Xuan.

It's a quaint old building, a little dilapidated, but it's a good building in the neighborhood, at least it's bigger, and there's even a yard.

A strange flag hanging on the lintel of this building caught my attention.

It was a black flag, and on the flag was a strange thing drawn with cinnabar dragons and phoenixes, like a pattern, and like a word, which I didn't understand for a while.

In addition, there is a small shrine left on the lintel of the wooden door, and the strange thing is that the shrine is not enshrined in the statue of Sanqing, but a round glass fish tank, in which there are two big fish, one black and one white.

These two big fish looked very frightening, with a fierce look, and when they saw me approaching, they actually bared their teeth at me like vicious dogs, and I couldn't help but retreat in fright.

I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I have caught fish in the ravines in the mountains, but I have never seen such a strange-looking fish.

Seeing such a strange façade, I was basically sure that this was the residence of the old man.

I raised my hand and was about to knock on the door, when I saw a purple piece of rice paper pasted on the door, and a few small words were written on the rice paper with a brush.

"You can't live, you can't die, you can't live and die. Yang is gone, yin is not returned, yang is not seen and yin is returned. ”

I looked at these two sentences without beginning and ending, and I really didn't understand what they meant, but this purple rice paper was pasted on the door, which looked really unlucky.

I don't care so much, so I go up and knock on the door.

After a long time, a small crack opened in the wooden door, and an old man poked his head out of it.

"Who are you looking for?" The old man's voice was low, as if he had just crawled out of a coffin, with a chill.

"Please...... Is it the Realm Xuan Dao Chief? I asked in a low voice.

The old man frowned, then closed the door, and from behind the door came a sound of locking and the cold sentence "There is no such person here!" ”

As soon as I heard his tone, I knew that something was wrong, even if he wasn't Jing Xuan, he must have some kind of connection with him, otherwise the reaction wouldn't be so big.

I hurriedly shouted, "It's Sister-in-law Tian who asked me to come to you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the sound of the door locking inside immediately stopped, and it seemed that he had listened.

"Who are you?" Inside asked.

"My surname is Li, my name is Li Miao, I don't know if the Taoist has ever heard of this name?" I took the opportunity to say.

Immediately, there was a sound ......of unlocking inside.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and the old man poked his head out again, but the expression on his face was no longer the dead face just now, but a face full of joy like a corpse had been resurrected, and seeing me was like seeing a relative.

"Are you the kid who was born on the tenth day of October, the one my junior brother Jing Min told me about?" The old man asked expectantly.

The old way of Zhenyiguan is indeed called Jing Compassion, so I nodded and replied suspiciously: "It should be my ......"

The old man's body flashed, and he immediately flashed out of a way, made a gesture of please, and said, "Come in, please come in!" ”

I was frightened by the old man's posture, and I always had the feeling that I had been on a thief ship or had fallen into a trap.

The old man led me into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I was greeted by a large mirror, which covered the courtyard wall in the yard, and so many mirrors suddenly appeared in front of me, which made me panic.

But in addition, the whole yard is quite exquisite, antique, and the decorations inside are antique.

The old man led me into the living room and brought me a cup of tea, the more polite he was, the more bottomless I felt in my heart, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask if you are the master of the Realm Xuan Dao?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "You can just call me Lao Xuan." ”

I didn't expect that this unreliable old man was really the Realm Xuan Dao Master I was looking for, and the expectations in my heart were suddenly discounted, and it seemed that most of this trip was blind.

But since you're here, you still have to ask what you need to ask.

"Old ...... Lao Xuan, my business ......"

Before I could speak, Lao Xuan stretched out his hand to interrupt me. "My junior brother told me about you more than ten years ago, I waited for you in Ganzhou for seven or eight years, but I didn't expect you to come. However, I expected that you would come to my old Xuan sooner or later, so I asked Xiao Tian to help me keep an eye on me in the village, which just happened to wait for you. ”

When I heard this, I wondered even more, "How do you know I'm coming to you again?" ”

Lao Xuan smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Did something go wrong with you recently?" ”

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, could it be that this old mystery would really be unpredictable?

I didn't hide it from him, so I told him about the burning of people in the normal school.

After listening, Lao Xuan was not surprised, but looked happy, "Sure enough, the things that should come will come sooner or later." ”

I couldn't stand being betrayed by others, and asked Lao Xuan what was going on, and what was the evil fire in me.

Seeing that I was anxious, Lao Xuan didn't plan to go around in circles anymore, put away his strange look, and said to me with a serious face: "People like you are called Huoyang physique. July is yin, October is yang, and people like you are born with the life of yang, and people like you are born with the life of the yang, and the life of people like you is too prosperous, and it is not an ordinary fire in the furnace, a mountain fire, but a fire in the sky, and it is also a fire in the sky! ”

"Splashing fire?"

"That's right, a fire! Originally, this is a life with a very hard life, and if the fire is prosperous, the luck will be prosperous, but the person who is on fire is originally two extremes, and the fire is a good thing, but if the fire is too strong, it will not only burn others, but also hurt oneself, which is not good for others or oneself. ”

I had never heard of this theory of the old man, and I didn't understand it at all, and I was very confused by what he said.

Lao Xuan continued: "And this evil fire on your body, commonly known as 'belt in the womb', is from the womb of the eldest mother, if I guess correctly, your mother should have suffered a lot when she was pregnant with you, presumably the pain of burning like charcoal in the palace must be indispensable." ”

Lao Xuan's words surprised me a lot, I did hear my mother mention it after I became sensible, saying that when she was pregnant with me, the whole stomach was like a fire, and the winter was only covered with a thin list, and I always had a high fever, burning to 40 degrees is a common thing, and the family is afraid that I will burn something wrong because of my mother's high fever.

Now when I hear Lao Xuan say this, I understand that it seems that the suffering that my mother suffered before is actually related to me, and when I think of this, my heart is even more uncomfortable.

Lao Xuan saw the complicated expression on my face, and immediately understood that he had guessed correctly, and then his face sank, and he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this evil fire on your body should not belong to this world. ”

"Not of this world? What does that mean? "I'm even more confused.

Lao Xuan said a little impatiently: "Why, I haven't understood yet!" This evil fire in you comes from the underworld! ”

I was frightened by Lao Xuan's words, and a cold sweat broke out on my back. I have been exposed to nine-year compulsory education since I was a child, and I naturally do not want to believe such bold remarks.

"You mean...... This evil fire in me comes from...... Underworld? ”

Lao Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, this fire on your body is actually a ghost fire!" Originally, with the ghost fire following, you must not be able to survive once you are born. However, coincidentally, your life is also the life of Yang Huo, which happens to be the same as this ghost fire, so you can be saved, otherwise, I am afraid that this evil fire is in your body, and you will die a long time ago. However, although your physique is able to contain this ghost fire, it cannot be eliminated, it can only coexist with it, once your spirit is strongly stimulated, or anger surges, this ghost fire will immediately come out to make trouble! ”

I listened to it and thought about it, and sure enough.

When I was seven years old, it was because I was bitten on the leg by a weasel and I was anxious and stimulated that I caused that fire.

And in the normal school, it was precisely because I was beaten by Wang Gang and my heart was filled with anger that it caused a tragedy.

Every word of Lao Xuan's words came true, and I slowly began to believe him from my previous doubts.

"So, I wonder if there is a way to completely eliminate this ghost fire?" I couldn't help but ask.

Lao Xuan smiled slightly, picked up the purple sand teacup on the table and took a sip gently, and said: "This ghost fire is not an ordinary thing, we are all ordinary people, and it is not so easy to completely eliminate such evil things." ”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that the old man was clearly playing tricks, so I asked, "So, there is still a way?" ”

Lao Xuan smiled again, raised his long eyebrows, and said mysteriously: "There is a way, but I don't know if you want to do it!" ”
