Fiction and reality, dreams and illusions, good and evil, humans and ghosts.

When I came back from Jiuding Iron Brake Mountain, Hu Xiuzhi finally left me these four sentences as advice, and when I opened my eyes again, there was a black hole in front of me, and I had returned to the cold room of the Li family.

The sight gradually recovered, and a figure suddenly faintly appeared in the dark room, staring at me and laughing, my heart 'chuckled', and suddenly sat up in shock, but saw that the figure of the other party was still motionless, and only after a closer look did I recognize that it was Lou Jianguang who was sitting there smiling at me, and I was relieved.

"Lou Jianguang, are you going to scare me to death?"

I was so angry that I glanced at him, but I saw Lou Jianguang lighting a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are going to scare me to death, I fell asleep in the middle of the night and suddenly lost my breath, if someone else is by your side, I am afraid that I will really be scared half to death......"

I also smiled when I heard this, and when I saw that he was calm, I asked, "Why do you say that if someone else smashes my side, you will be scared half to death, are you not afraid at all when you see it?" ”

Lou Jianguang shook his head after speaking, and said with a smile: "No, although I was really taken aback when I suddenly woke up and found that you were out of breath, but after thinking about it, I understood." ”

"Understood? Understand what? I asked again.

"You were born in the Pavilion Soap but you don't know the Pavilion Soap Dao Technique, and when you enter the Yin Yang Dao Gate, you only know the skin of the Yin and Yang Dao, even if you dare to take the exam in Tianzhu Mansion with half a bottle, wouldn't you be sent to death?"

After saying this, Lou Jianguang smiled, and said: "So I guessed early in the morning, you are not so simple, and tonight I saw you suddenly lose your breath, and wake up after a while, your face does not change and your heart does not beat, I finally understand, hehe, you kid turned out to be a natural person Cao Guan......"

"You even know that?"

"Haha, although my Lou Jianguang is in his thirties and has achieved nothing, he has not been a fool in the Nanhai faction for so many years......"

After he finished speaking, he came over and asked with a hippie smile, "Tell me, where have you been?" Did you find something? We are in the same group, and we should help each other in the same group. ”

Lou Jianguang's words were right, so I told him about my relationship with the Shamanic Sect's Chief Protector Immortal Black Mother, as well as the information I obtained from this trip to the Nine Peaks Iron Brake Mountain, and after listening to me, Lou Jianguang suddenly exclaimed again: "You, you have so many stammering immortal sacrificial vessels in your hands?" I've heard that it's a big baby like no other in the world! ”

I waved my hand and said, "I don't know if it's a big baby or not, as long as it can help now, that's a good thing." ”

After I finished speaking, I carried my salute from under the edge of the kang, and turned out the spirit flag falling a thousand souls and the copper kettle swallowing a hundred ghosts, only swinging to the kang, Lou Jianguang's eyes were straight, lying on the kang which small flashlight shone for a while, it was ridiculous that I had not seen the world, and even wanted to turn on the light to take a closer look, but fortunately I stopped it in time.

I waved my hand at him and said, "Don't turn on the light, so as not to alarm the two people in the opposite room, who have ghosts in their hearts." ”

Lou Jianguang nodded, so he didn't say anything more, just sat aside and watched obediently.

I set the copper kettle in place, stretched the banner on the kang, inserted it firmly and recited the mantra and turned it gently, the small bells on the banner 'clanged' softly, and suddenly a cold breeze brewed in the room.

After reciting the mantra, I grabbed a handful of buckwheat husks that I had found under the kang felt and poured them into the copper kettle.

Ready for everything, I grabbed a handful of spiritual money and threw it into the copper kettle, and before the smoke came out, I instantly covered the spout of the pot with blank yellow paper, pinched the two tips with my left and right hands, and whispered silently in my mouth.

I hurriedly changed my hand, and according to Hu Xiuzhi's instructions, I recited the meditation trick I had learned three times, and the two armpit mats were windy, and a light feeling seemed to be dragging my soul through the fontanelle above my head, as if my soul was about to be unable to hold it and fly out again.

Seeing that the time came, I hurriedly hugged the copper kettle in front of me with both hands, bent down, pierced my whole face on the spout, and pierced a hole in the yellow paper covering the spout with a 'poof' from the tip of my nose......

I took a deep breath, and my eyes were hazy with the pungent smoke from the burning of the pot......

Suddenly, the cleansed and awe-inspiring images began to hover in my mind as if they were real......

At first, in a daze, I heard a cry, the cry was very soft, very weak, and mixed with a touch of despair hoarseness, which made people's hearts depressed, and then the pale haze gradually dispersed, and I saw at a glance that it was an old man lying motionless on the kang, his clothes were dirty, and the broken quilt on his lap was as if it had not been dismantled and washed for eight hundred years, full of dirty oil stains......

At this time, I looked up and looked out the window, and saw a new bedding drying on the veranda outside the window, and the eldest son of the Li family was sitting on a small bench not far from the quilt, with a large basin in front of him, washing clothes intently.

"The daughter-in-law of the Li family, the daughter-in-law of the Li family."

A soft call suddenly came from outside the gate, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family shook her hand full of laundry detergent foam, and hurriedly ran to open the door, and saw a middle-aged woman standing outside the door with a bamboo basket and a smile on her face.

"Yo, auntie, why do you have time to come over?"

"There are baskets of eggs at home, no, I specially sent them to your old lady," the woman said and stuffed the basket in her hand into the hands of the daughter-in-law of the Li family, pointed to the yard, and then asked with a smile: "Is your old lady sick?" Can you go to the ground? ”

When the woman asked, the eldest daughter-in-law suddenly changed her face to sadness and melancholy, and sighed: "Hey, it's still not getting better, and we're about to die of sorrow." No, I sewed a new bed cotton for her old man, afraid that her old man would freeze and deliberately refill the cotton, but it hasn't been a few days, and it has been pulled up again, and I'm not washing......"

"Hey, I've really wronged you," the woman sighed lightly after hearing this, clasped her eldest daughter-in-law's hand tightly and patted it gently, and said with a smile: "But the filial piety of the two of you, there are a few people in the village who don't admire it, so many years of serving the old mother, not too dirty or too tired, which one is not to pick on your thumbs." It's okay, there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, child, God is not blind, you two respect the old and love the old so much, God will not treat you badly in the future......"

"Hey, it's all supposed to be done, it's all supposed to be done." The eldest daughter-in-law waved her hands and laughed.

Then the woman said, "Shall I go in and see the old lady and talk to her?" ”

"Ouch, don't you, my mother and her old man just pulled a room, and now the house still stinks, it's everywhere, and her old man doesn't want people to bump into it at this time, right? You always send us things, we remember it in our hearts, look back, I must talk to my mother more about your good aunt......"

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary, okay, you can do your own work, then I'll leave first, and come back another day."

The woman said and smiled and turned to leave, and the eldest daughter-in-law sent her out of the door cordially, until she walked out of the distance, the woman kept praising the eldest daughter-in-law, but she didn't find that the corner of the eldest daughter-in-law's mouth had a grinning sneer, and then turned around with the basket and entered the courtyard again, and after putting a basket of eggs in the middle hall, she began to continue to wash the clothes in the basin.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but sneer, look closely, how many of the clothes in that basin can be worn by the elderly? There was not a single one, and even the old mother in the house, who was paralyzed on the kang, was so hungry that she groped around with her trembling bony hands, and finally took out a handful of buckwheat husks from the dirty pillowcase that had already been scratched and stuffed them into her mouth and chewed them hard, but she still didn't even look at them......

After eating a few bites of buckwheat husk, it was really hard to swallow, the old lady choked and turned over with difficulty, and pulled up the kang felt of the kang horn, put it in her mouth, but still couldn't bite, and finally could only cry in despair, but she was so hungry that she couldn't even make a sound out of the house, and I looked at the eldest daughter-in-law who was washing clothes in the yard, and I didn't know if it was because she was in a good mood, or because she got a basket of eggs for nothing, and she was washing clothes at this time, humming a little song beautifully......
