Chapter 49: The Burden of Good and Evil
The roe deer is in front, and the Taoist priest is in the back.
Mo Chuan didn't ask anything, and a tendon was attached behind the roe deer, but he was relying on the sacrificial furnace to be next to him, which was the Longtan Tiger's Den, and he dared to break through.
After walking for a short time, the roe deer turned into another fork.
Mo Chuan did not stop, and followed suit.
The surrounding mountain fog became thicker and thicker, so that the figure of the silly roe deer turned into a gray spot.
Fortunately, he didn't go far before the stupid roe deer stopped in front of a smooth rock wall, and a wisp of incense on his body suddenly dispersed.
At the same time, there was a faint stream of light leaking out of the smooth rock wall, and he turned into an old man with a childish face and fluttering hair.
"Shoushan Shigong, meet the immortal chief, lead the immortal chief to come late at night, and hope that the immortal chief is not strange!" The old man solemnly bowed.
"Shi Gong? Stone spirits? ”
Mo Chuan looked at the three or five rotten melons and fruits in front of the stone wall beside the old man, as well as a cluster of burned incense sticks, and asked tentatively.
"Immortal Chang has good eyesight! I have a stubborn stone in Shou Mountain, after years of worship by the mountain craftsman, fortunately a little proverb, the point turned into fine, and the Shou Mountain has been guarded for 34 years. Shi Gong said calmly.
"I see, poor Dao Mingchen, fortunately I will be lucky!"
Mo Chuan returned the salute and felt abrupt.
- No wonder Shi Gong wanted to borrow the body of a stupid roe deer, it turned out to be a stone spirit that did not move like a mountain.
In other words, this is the first time he has encountered a dead thing, and he can't help but ask a few more questions with curiosity.
This Shi Gong is above board, answering them one by one.
Speaking of the origin of Shigong, it is also related to Shoushan Town at the foot of the mountain.
Shoushan Town relies on the mountains to eat the mountains.
Shoushan has achieved Shoushan Town, but it has also accumulated a lot of white bones over the years.
Every year, there are quarrymen who die in Shoushan.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to find the corpse, and you'll be able to return to your homeland.
If you're unlucky, you won't even have a corpse.
When manpower is poor, he will inevitably find the ethereal way to sustenance the spirit, and Shi Gong was born in this context.
The details are no longer elaborate.
In short, when Shoushan quarrymen pass by this smooth stone wall, they will inevitably bring a wild fruit and insert a pillar to offer incense for peace of mind.
"The immortal chief came to appreciate his face, this is Shi's luck! Speaking of which, Shi borrowed a roe deer to attract immortals, and there was really a reluctant invitation! ”
After the greetings, Shi Gong finally explained his purpose.
"Oh?"
Mo Chuan issued a word of doubt, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"In the past two years, many Shoushan quarrymen have fallen to their deaths, and most of the mountain craftsmen thought that the strange stones were exhausted and the search for the deep mountains was caused, but Shi knew that this was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster!"
"Man-made disaster? But the bandits who intercepted the corpse chaser? ”
Mo Chuan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Exactly! There were three of them, and they were born with evil spirits, had no liver or lungs, and often went into the pits to kill quarrymen and steal their money. Shi eats the incense of the mountaineer, and also undertakes the long-cherished wish of cause and effect, but he hates Shi's shallow and powerless disaster, so I am willing to ask the immortal chief to help me and eliminate harm for the people! ”
When Shi Gong talked about this gang of bandits, his face was distorted with anger.
Because of this gang of bandits, his incense is missing.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"Shi has no way to reciprocate, only to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, on the cliff of Nashou Mountain, there is a fruit tree, three or five fruits a year, the eagle falcon often fights for food, the beak is as sharp as iron, I think it should be a rare and exotic fruit!"
Mo Chuan smiled when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that I will dig up the fruit tree and leave?" ”
Shi Gong said with a smile: "As the saying goes: every word and deed depends on character, and every move knows personality." Shi Mou's behavior towards the immortal chief would definitely not be like this, otherwise Shi would not dare to lead the immortal chief here. ”
Mo Chuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
It turns out that the opportunity of the corpse chaser should be here.
In my heart, I suddenly had a little understanding of the Taoist responsibility.
The Tao Te Ching says:
In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow; If you don't accumulate goodness, there will be aftermath!
There is a cycle in the way of heaven, and there is a burden for good and evil.
Thinking of this, Mo Chuan immediately inquired about the heels of this gang of bandits, and after mastering it, he said:
"Poor Dao's ugly words are ahead, and it is impossible for Poor Dao to listen to your words, so he will kill mortals, and when Poor Dao finds out the cause and effect, he will have his own decision."
"This is nature, Shi will prepare rootless water, replace wine with water, and wait for the good news of the immortal!" Shi Gong solemnly said.
"Farewell!"
"Shi sends the immortal chief!"
Mo Chuan waved his hand, and then went down the mountain along the country road.
……
……
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Let's say that after the two corpse chasers parted ways with Mo Chuan, they hurried all the way, and finally crossed Shoushan before dawn.
The master and apprentice rested for half a day, and then began to chase the corpse and finish the work.
That is, the corpses were collected into the coffin, and the employer was invited to come to collect them, and the final payment was settled by the way.
In other words, the reason why the corpse chaser still has the one-stop service of collecting and entering the coffin is naturally because the secret of the corpse is really not visible.
If the family learns that the corpse that has been rushed only has the head and limbs, let alone the money for the corpse, I am afraid that even the life may not be guaranteed.
"Dog, nail! Dog? Dog? ”
“…… Yes? Master? ”
"Nails!"
"Oooh......"
In the dilapidated mortuary hut, the big corpse who was collecting the corpse into the coffin shouted a few times before calling back the distracted young corpse.
"Didn't get a good rest?"
The big corpse looked at the apprentice's dark face and asked with concern.
“…… No, no! ”
"I didn't sleep well, I went to take a nap by myself, and when I came back, my employer came, but don't make a mess."
"Hey!"
The young corpse nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but without taking two steps, he hesitated and came back:
"Master, let's really ...... Stay in the mountains all your life, plough the fields when you're busy, and chase corpses when you're free? ”
"Or else? Why do you still want a daughter-in-law? I'll tell you, this is a troublesome matter, and when you're older, we'll take you to the town to experience it, and you'll stop thinking about it......"
The big corpse was muttering while working, and as he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the apprentice.
But I saw that the dog baby was completely gone, and she was shy and expectant on her usual days, so she just stared blankly at the door of the hut.
Outside the chai gate, Shoushan stretches endlessly, surrounding the small courtyard of the fence.
It can be said: the lonely mountain is lonely, and the Taoist is not lonely.
"Ahh
The big corpse sighed silently, turned his head, and continued to be busy, but his expression was much more solemn.
People do not take young people lightly.
He also came from a teenager, so he naturally knows the boy's thoughts.
What's more, the dog baby is not an ordinary mountain baby, he has seen a little of the world and knows the scenery outside.
There are also corpse chaser skills!
A copy of "The Legend of Young Heroes" in his hand was almost ruined by him.
A book of leg and foot kung fu picked up from the bazaar was also learned by him well, and he even dared to block the bandits.
But ...... However, he didn't want the outside scenery at the beginning?
It's a pity that ugliness caught his feet.
But dogs are different.
He picked up the dog baby.
is not handsome in life, and under the handsome black, there are a few clowns.
But it's still too far away from the real ugliness.
There are two requirements for the corpse chaser.
First, be bold;
Second, the uglier the better.
A wry smile appeared on the face of the big corpse, maybe ...... He shouldn't have disobeyed his ancestors in the first place.
Forget it, time will dilute everything.
His thoughts wandered, and a stubborn stone around his neck suddenly trembled slightly, interrupting his thoughts.
