Chapter Forty-Six: Immortal, Imperishable, Imperishable
The black snake hovering on the roof of the Dragon King Temple quietly watched Fang Xingai repair the damaged Dragon King statue little by little, and the pain on his body seemed to be relieved with the restoration of the Dragon King statue.
Bai Fuli was a little curious: "The villagers of Daxi Village treat you like this, aren't you angry?" ”
The black snake's golden beast eyes were full of doubts, "Why am I angry?" It's that I'm useless, I can't help them, and they should be the ones who should be angry. ”
The black snake still remembers the tragedy of that time - the earth cracked, the stream was cut off, the crops were lost, and the villagers were so hungry that their eyes were green, and they even pulled out the bark of the trees and gnawed them.
Young Master Fang couldn't bear to see the villagers starve to death, so he took out his family savings and traveled thousands of miles to other places to buy food to help the villagers tide over the difficulties, but he himself was injured in the rush and hard work.
When Fang Xingai came to the Dragon King Temple for the last time, he was already terminally ill, and he probably sensed that he was dying, so he took the last bit of food at home to worship the Dragon King.
He chattered in the empty Dragon King Temple, from the helplessness of being detained in the room to recuperate because of poor health when he was a child, to the loneliness when he was looked down upon when he studied abroad, the sadness of learning that his parents died unexpectedly, and the powerlessness in the face of natural disasters......
He didn't know that there was another "person" in the Dragon King Temple who was listening to him, unscrupulously venting his inner unwillingness and pain.
"I want to live." Fang Xingai knelt in front of the statue of the Dragon King, crying silently, "I want to live for a long time......"
The black snake saw that there were crystal clear droplets of water dripping from the corners of Young Master Fang's eyes, and the snake would not shed tears, so the black snake didn't know what the droplets were, but felt sour and sour in his heart, and was very sad.
The essence of offering to God is the exchange of needs.
"I'm going to save him......" thought the Black Snake, and if I accepted his offering, I should look at his wishes.
The black snake knew that there was a dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountain not far away, and there lived an old Taoist priest who was almost a hundred years old, and he risked being killed, and found the old Taoist priest.
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest was also dying, his lips were chapped, his eyes were deep-set, his nose and mouth were bleeding, and the black snake had also seen such symptoms in many villagers - he was dying of thirst.
The black snake gave the old Taoist priest a sip of water and asked the old Taoist priest: "How can people live all the time?" ”
"People can't live all the time," the old Taoist priest said, "Fang is born and dies, and Fang is dead and live." ”
The black snake couldn't understand the old Taoist priest's words, and stubbornly asked again: "I want to live alone all the time, what should I do?" ”
The old Taoist priest didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and pointed to the book on the table, and then he lost his breath.
The black snake buried the old Taoist priest, and returned to the Dragon King Temple with the book in his mouth to give it to Fang Xingai, Young Master Fang has read so many books, he is so smart, he must be able to find a way in the book.
But there was no trace of Young Master Fang in the Dragon King Temple.
The black snake ran to the old mansion, and there were a lot of noisy sounds coming from the living room of the bright hall, and there were a lot of people surrounding Young Master Fang.
"Please, my child is dying, give us another bite to eat."
"You should borrow us, and when the disaster year is over, we will definitely pay back the ......"
"The Fang family has a big business, how can there be no money! Young Master Fang, you grew up watching everyone, how can you see death and not save it? ”
"Please, Young Master Fang."
"Please......"
When their pleas are not answered, people become angry and manic, just like the villagers who found out that they could not get rain in exchange for worshipping the Dragon King, they would "bask the Dragon King", and they began to attack the Young Master Fang who was bent on thinking about them in the most vicious language.
"A dime is not pulled", "for the rich is not benevolent", "greedy for money and unjust"
Relief for this kind of thing can save hunger and poverty, but it cannot save people's hearts.
The villagers soon found that no matter how they begged and insulted, Young Master Fang was silent, and a villager was angry and pushed Fang Xingai, and Fang Xingai fell to the side softly.
Only then did they realize that Young Master Fang, who was sitting on the sofa, had already died, but his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't even look at it.
"Ahh
"What's it called!"
The village chief glared at the screaming woman viciously, closed Fang Xingai's eyelids with trembling hands, and the villagers were all leaning against the wall, curled up, waiting for the village chief to speak.
The village chief took out the cigarette that he had been hiding for a long time and was reluctant to smoke, lit it and took two puffs before he said in a hoarse voice: "Everything that can be moved is moved and sold, anyway...... Anyway, there is no one in the Fang family, we have to survive first, and when the days are good, we will do a grand ceremony for Young Master Fang and build a luxurious tomb, and we should repay him. ”
The villagers looked at each other, always feeling that it was not very benevolent and righteous to do so, but the urgency to live occupied morality and reason, and they moved all the valuable things in the old mansion clean, including the sofa under Young Master Fang's corpse.
The black snake was quietly watching outside the window as the villagers emptied the old mansion, and Young Master Fang's body was discarded on the ground, it was furious, it wanted to kill these villagers-
Heavenly Dao seemed to sense what the black snake was thinking, and the dark clouds rolled and thundered, as if warning the black snake.
Hearing the thunder, the villagers ran out of the door excitedly, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, praying for God's mercy and rain to moisten the earth.
Looking at their humble pleading, the black snake was suddenly relieved.
They are all poor people who just want to live, if Young Master Fang is still here, he definitely won't want to see the tragedy where everyone in the village dies, after all, he is so kind.
The black snake found a kind of "alchemy technique" from the book of the old Taoist priest, and the last sentence reads: Purple zombie is not rotten, Mao zombie is invulnerable, flying zombie can make the law, and the corpse is not old, immortal, and indestructible.
Immortal, immortal, immortal.
The simple-minded black snake thought, isn't it Young Master Fang's wish, can he live for a long time?
The black snake does not transform into shape, it can only be attached to Fang Xingai's corpse, and go to the town to buy the things needed to refine the zombie, which is why the owner of the incense shop saw the dead Fang Xingai.
It found the fragrant fir wood with the heaviest yin qi, hollowed out the corpse of Young Master Fang inside the trunk, and turned him into a zombie step by step, and then it coiled on the wooden coffin, accompanied Young Master Fang to sleep in the dark and lightless basement, and only occasionally went back to the Dragon King Temple to check the Dragon King statue, so that Zhang Daochang seized the opportunity to break in.
"After that Taoist priest died, I was afraid that someone would break in again, so I deliberately sealed the underground of Daxi Village with power."
"No wonder I didn't react when I chanted the land god mantra during the day." Bai Fuli breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't regress.
Si Chen asked: "So you are the one who stopped the human race from starting construction and destroying the engineering vehicle?" ”
The black snake did not deny it, and explained angrily: "It's all to blame on that Taoist priest, he made Young Master Fang absorb his anger, and Young Master Fang was awakened to his desires, if someone often comes here in the future, I'm afraid that if I don't see Young Master Fang one day, he will run out and harm people." ”
