Chapter 21: The Child's Life
On the ninth, Tang Muzhi came to Suzhou Railway Station early after the sit-in, he came to see the timetable yesterday, Tang Ming should take the 301 train, and he can arrive at eight o'clock if he is not late.
It's not a holiday, and there aren't many people waiting for the bus. Seeing that the train arrived at the station, Tang Muzhi found a piece of cardboard with the two big characters "Tang Ming" written on it.
Will this violate the rules of the Tang Sect? Tang Muzhi didn't know, but he hadn't seen Tang Ming either, so he had to raise a sign to look for someone.
Tang Muzhi held the sign and waited for a while, and a tall and burly young man with short hair walked towards him.
The person who came was dark-skinned, wearing an army green jacket and cargo pants, black Gaobang boots shook on the ground, he was carrying a snakeskin bag, and when he saw Tang Muzhi, he grinned.
"Let's go."
Tang Muzhi nodded and put away the cardboard. "Cousin Tang Ming!"
"Don't you look like a fourteen-year-old doll, heh, go to where you live first, it's not convenient to talk here."
There are no taxis here, only buses. The hotel where Tang Muzhi stayed was not far from the train station, and the two walked there.
"Pastich...... I will call you a shepherd. Is that friend of yours at the hotel? β
Tang Muzhi said helplessly: "There is something wrong with him, and it is inconvenient to come out now." β
Yesterday they had a phone call, and Guang Shao said that he couldn't get out now.
He first asked his sister to take a few days off, and he could take care of him at home for the next few days...... It's his father, Mayor Guang, who really doesn't have enough reason to keep him.
Tang Muzhi knew Guangshao's current situation, he had a great conflict with his family, and after this time, it was also a question whether he could go to Sichuan to worship the mountain gate smoothly...... He had a faint bad premonition, maybe Shao's cultivation path was about to end.
With a discerning eye for the past and the present, we can see the past and the future. Tang Muzhi has not practiced discernment, but Guang Shao has practiced, maybe he is vaguely aware of something, but the past and future are determined, and discerning eyes can see but cannot change.
Unless he has practiced the Dharma Eye.
The eye of the Dharma is like a torch, and it can see all ignorance.
The Dharma eye sees through cause and effect, and then can make changes.
But how many people in the world have cultivated the Dharma Eye? Guang Shao's guide, Kampot Poche, has only practiced discerning - he is more than 100 years old this year.
Even if Guang Shao sees it very thoroughly, he doesn't have the ability to have both his family and the alien world.
Not everyone is as carefree as Tang Muzhi. Wouldn't it be very sad if the alien felt that there was nothing more important than his own cultivation?
When he arrived at the hotel, Tang Muzhi wanted the boss to open a room next door. Tang Ming said that he was not in a hurry, he wanted to go up to the corridor on the third floor to take a look first.
"I'll take a look at the structure of the inn...... It's not a great place for you to stay, so be it! β
Tang Ming took out some banknotes and handed them to him, pointing to the doors of the two rooms.
"You go and rent these two rooms, rent them for a few more days, and tell them not to bother."
Tang Mu went downstairs and did so, and retreated from the previous room.
The boss shook his head and scolded this kid for being so difficult to serve, and he had to change rooms in a hotel.
After taking the key, Tang Mu went upstairs and went to a room with Tang Ming.
Put down his luggage, it was almost nine o'clock, Tang Ming asked him to go for breakfast.
After the two of them finished breakfast, they were wiping their mouths when Tang Ming handed him a small medicine bottle.
"This is called Bigu Pill, and the effect is very simple, anti-hunger! I haven't eaten for the last few days. β
Tang Muzhi asked curiously: "The situation is not very urgent, we should still have time to eat, right?" β
"When people eat whole grains, their bodies inevitably gather various smells, and ordinary strangers naturally don't need to pay attention to these smells." Tang Ming's expression was grim, and his eyes were like torches, "Although you haven't done the initiation ceremony yet, the introductory ceremony is only next year...... You also understand that our Tang Sect is not an ordinary sect, and we have been doing assassination for the past few hundred years. β
"Assassination is very particular. Smell is also something to pay attention to, and there will be no new smell after taking Bigu Pill. β
Tang Muzhi nodded, "I've been taught, cousin." β
Back at the hotel, Tang Ming asked him to tell him to repeat the matter in detail.
"A dark shadow of a lot of hands?" Tang Ming noticed this.
Tang Men described it in detail, "Cousin, is this the ability of which sect?" β
"Nope! But where do I seem to have seen the dark shadow you mentioned...... Let me think about it. Tang Ming pondered for a moment.
"Makiyuki, do you know Hinduism?" Tang Ming said suddenly.
"Hinduism?" Tang Muzhi shook his head, he didn't know much about this.
"Eight arms, three eyes, and a hideous faceβthis is probably the image of a Hindu god." Tang Ming stroked his chin and thought.
"Our Tangmen has always had a good relationship with the doctors in the circle, a few years ago I was injured and left sequelae, so I went to visit Mr. Zhonglao, the prince of today's Chinese medicine country, and I talked about this 'child's life' when I chatted with this master during the recuperation period."
"Child's life? Isn't that a superstitious statement? Tang Muzhi asked quietly. But he secretly said in his heart: How can this old man Wang Zhongzhong talk to anyone about "child's life"?
There are different opinions about the "child's life", and there are probably four theories:
It is said that the boys and girls who serve the gods are curious about the life in the mortal world and secretly run down to the mortal world to play. This kind of boy is generally born white, pure, intelligent, and very likable, and is called: "The boy who steals away". They usually die before the age of 10, and they die without any particular pain, because there is no karma on earth, but only a trip to the next world.
The second is that the boy in heaven was relegated to the human world to be punished because of Sifan or did something wrong in the heavenly realm, or because the good fortune of heaven and man was exhausted, he had to be reincarnated in the human world and cultivate again. This is called "degraded boys", they looked very likable when they were young, and they are likely to grow up, and they are naturally beautiful and delicate. Although it is not life-threatening when you are young, it is full of ups and downs until the age of 25.
The third said that in order to directly or indirectly control the direction of the entire human world, the heavenly realm will send children to carry out tasks, some of these children are directly sent, and some of them are guilty of crimes and meritorious service because they have made mistakes. These boys, who have gone through trials in the human world and completed their tasks, will return to the heavenly realm to resume their lives; Boys who do not complete the task will be reincarnated in the world until the task is completed. This kind of boy is often very close to Buddhism and Taoism, and they have to accumulate virtue and do good deeds in the world before they can return to the heavenly realm at the end of their lives - this kind of "task boy".
Fourth, after cultivating to a certain extent, many elves suffer from the natural beast path and cannot fly to become immortals, so they continue to cultivate after being reincarnated as a human being, and cultivate into immortals with a human body. This kind of child encounters a lot of strange things, and even has elf friends from the previous life to protect the Dharma or communicate, it is said that many children who are autistic in the evening are the reincarnation of elves. This kind of boy came to the world to cultivate to achieve positive results, and he is called "elf boy".
β¦β¦
"This 'child's life' is too mysterious in folk sayings, and in the eyes of insiders, it is generally believed that it is a symbiosis possessed by evil spirits. But the old man Wang has a lot of research on life, and said that this 'child's life' is actually a variation of the human body's life...... You don't understand this, in short, this kind of person is born with a relationship with strangers. The personality begins to mutate from the mother's womb, and to a certain extent, it shows two diametrically opposed characteristics, good and bad. Bad mutations erode the body. Good mutations will gradually grow and show independence, and will spontaneously protect the subject, and this kind of mutation has been mistaken for a god with a protective body in the past. β
Tang Ming said: "Chen Hongzhi's should be called Maha Shura, which has not appeared in ancient times, because its external shape is similar to the Hindu Maha Shura Heaven and has this name. β
As soon as Tang Ming said this, he suddenly remembered: The mutation of the life personality will make people change the way of Xing Qi in the mother's womb, so as to give birth to all kinds of abilities, so does his Yin Yang Qi also belong to a kind of child's life?
