Chapter 66: Changing Lives Against the Heavens

The world outside the wooden house was completely covered in darkness, and the cold air from the sky and the earth rose from the waterhole mountain forest of Kucang Mountain, turning into mist, shrouding the entire valley in a cloud of mist. I looked at the hazy world outside the house, as if I was looking towards my own future, chaotic.

The oil lamps in the room flickered, and the wicks and flames met with a slight crackling sound. The black cat in my aunt's arms lay quietly on her stomach, occasionally squinting at me.

I sat down in my chair and slowly digested what my aunt had told me. After a while, I reluctantly calmed down and asked, "Auntie, how long can I live?" ”

The aunt replied, "It depends on the speed at which the yin energy in your body expells the yang energy, you can usually exercise more and eat more things that replenish the yang energy, which can delay the growth of the yin energy." And there is one thing, you have to abstain from sex, men and women are the most energy-consuming, you have to remember this! ”

Looking at my aunt's solemn instructions, I was speechless to the extreme. According to my aunt, don't I want to become a monk and even get married?

The aunt said: "If you can cultivate your self-cultivation and pay attention to exercise, you should be able to live for more than ten years." If you don't pay attention to this aspect of things, you may die of impotence in two or three years at most! ”

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I heard that I could live for more than ten years, and I always thought that I didn't have a few months to live! It's just that I want to be abstinent and can't get married, so I can live a longer life, and I feel panicked again, and I said helplessly: "Auntie, is there really no way?" I still want to marry a wife and have children! ”

The aunt was silent for a long time before she slowly said: "It's not that there is no way, but this method is the same as nothing." ”

My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what's the solution?" ”

The aunt replied, "Change your life." ”

"How?"

"It's hard! This kind of thing is innate, if you want to change your life, you have to go against the sky! The aunt sighed and said, "Your yin qi is brought by the heavenly time, and your grandmother, your mother, and you are all the four pillars of pure yin. The Tao Te Ching says: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. So the two of them have nothing to do with each other, and your third-generation pure yin physique has a lot to do with it. If you want to change your personality, you have to start from the source, from your date of birth. There is no other way. But you have already been born, and if you want to change the date of birth, you can only do it if you die and be born again. To die is to die, that is, true death is not fake death, and how can it be reborn? Therefore, the road of changing one's life against the sky will not work at all! ”

All the ways were vetoed by my aunt, but I was no longer so worried and afraid, anyway, it was already like this, what was the use of worrying about fear? It's born, it's my life, what can I do? So I smiled, although I knew that my smile must be ugly, and said, "Auntie, I know, this is my life, I don't think much about it, don't you have more than ten years to live, it's enough." ”

That being said, who doesn't want to live a long life? So I'm still in a bad mood. The aunt's lips moved, and finally turned into a sigh. Originally, I wanted to learn self-defense spells from my aunt, but after knowing my physical condition, I lost this idea.

Anyway, it's already like this, what's the use of learning spells well?

As the oil lamp dimmed, my aunt got up to refuel it, and I stood up, walked to the door of the hut, and looked at the night sky outside, silent.

More than ten years to go... Actually, it's not unacceptable, it's just... I want to be abstinent... I'm a young, strong lad... But if you can't help it, you have to trade your life for it...

It's a real day dog...

While scolding the thief God in my heart, I silently wept over something...

"You can sleep first, and think about it tomorrow if you have something." My aunt said in the house.

When I looked back, I saw that my aunt had placed a large wooden plank on the ground, and the plank was covered with bedding. The futon is very thin, I thought to myself, such a thin futon, I can't freeze to death at night?

As I thought about it, I suddenly realized something strange. It's almost the end of the year, and it's the coldest time of the year, and the temperature in the valley deep in the mountains is even lower, and the fog outside the wooden house is thick, and the puddle under the eaves has already formed a thick layer of ice, which means that the temperature outside the house has dropped to below freezing.

But...

When I was in the cabin, I felt very comfortable and didn't feel cold at all. There was no electricity in my aunt's wooden house, not even an electric light, and oil lamps were used for lighting, not to mention air conditioning and heating.

So why is it so warm in the house?

Although I had doubts in my heart, I could not raise the spirit to ask, and I lay down on the plank. My aunt blew out the oil lamp and went to the inside of the hut. Flowey the big black cat curled up in a cushioned chaise longue, her dark eyes glowing blue in the darkness.

I looked at it for a moment, but after all, I didn't think it was interesting, and then closed my eyes. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't sleep, listening to the cold wind howling outside, thinking about my sad fate, I couldn't help but be a little cynical.

"Why me? Why can't a good person like me live a long life? Why can't some wicked people who have done all the bad things? Thief, are you trying to force me to be a bad guy! ”

I won't say much about the psychological process of breaking the jar and breaking it, anyway, I don't know how long it took, I also got tired and slowly fell asleep.

I didn't sleep until dawn, because in the middle of the night a terrible howl woke me from a terrible nightmare.

It was still dark outside, and I knew it wasn't dawn yet, and the howl didn't stop, and it kept ringing in my ears.

The big black cat stood on the chaise longue, its black fur standing up, its ears even more erect, staring at somewhere outside the house with a wary face.

"There's something unclean, it's okay, go to sleep." Auntie's slightly tired voice came from the back room. Flowey's fur slackened, and it turned around and lay down on the recliner again. At the same time, the terrible howl gradually subsided, mixed with the whistling north wind outside the house, and it was really impossible to distinguish if you didn't listen carefully.

I don't know if it was my aunt's trick, such as the warmth in the house, but now that the howl was almost inaudible, I closed my eyes again.

Only this time I was woken up, and I couldn't sleep again, and I remembered the fact that I didn't have a few years to live. Occasionally, a few intermittent screams were heard, all of which were quickly muffled by the wind.

Something unclean?

I remembered the encounter Xiaobai told me, she said that she went into the valley and was trapped in an invisible cage for the better of the night. Now that I know that my aunt lives in the valley, I can guess that my aunt must have set up some powerful prohibition in the valley to stop those unclean things in the mountains.

In the evening, there was another scream, and it seemed that something unclean had broken in, and it was blocked by the prohibition set by the aunt. Listening to that scream, that unclean thing must be painful. However, judging from Xiaobai's experience, the aunt did not have murderous intentions, but just wanted to punish them.

"You just stay up, stay up until dawn and your aunt will let you go." I said to myself in my heart.

Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and suddenly got up from the plank, rushed out of the cabin, and rushed into the cold winter night of Kuocang Mountain.

I figured out what was wrong!

Up and down the mountain, where are there any ghosts and elves!

Xiaobai has lived in Kucang Mountain for a year, and he can't even find a single person of the same kind. After suffering a sin in the valley, he immediately went away and did not dare to return. If I hadn't insisted that she lead the way, she would definitely not have dared to come to this Cangshan Mountain. I don't know how long my aunt has lived in this mountain, and she has driven away all the unclean things in this mountain. If that's the case, then where did the screams outside the house come from?

Xiaobai!

I know, now the ghost in Kucang Mountain, there is a little white! I asked her to wait for me outside the valley, she shouldn't go into the valley, right? But what if she went into the valley for what reason?

Since I have a suspicion, I can no longer sleep in peace, I want to make sure!
