Volume 1: Night Shines on Kyushu Ming Fifty-seven: Dust to dust, soil to earth

Qiu Shaohu has heard this rumor for a long time, there are five old men in the world, with strange temperaments and strengths, who call themselves "people who are not worthy of the name", but it is difficult for ordinary people to see their real bodies, and they can't imagine that they have seen two directly now.

Just looking at Wu Jingxing's expressionless face again, Qiu Shaohu thought of some things before, and couldn't help but be a little vigilant.

After all, I didn't have a good relationship with each other before.

"Hey, the reputation of the rivers and lakes is just a false name." Tang Xun waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about him, the old cripple is just what I asked me to help, don't look at him and understand, in fact, he stays for many things." ”

While speaking, Tang Xun walked in front of Qiu Shaohu, and with a little finger, a rune immediately appeared, and he pasted it on the tumbler.

The tumbler made a terrible sound, like rubbing against a rough wood, which made people's teeth ache. The black gas dissipated, and streams of clear air were released from it, rolling into every corner of the mansion, which was refreshing.

It seems that this time, all the luck absorbed by it has returned to its original place.

"It shouldn't be a problem now." Tang Xun Road.

Tanabe Tsuru had already led people to hide aside, but when he saw that there was no movement, he leaned out and said, "Dare to ask the mage ......"

"It's okay now, you guys come out." Tang Xun beckoned: "The demon has been eliminated, so you can do whatever you want." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Master," Tanabe Crane rushed over, and he was about to burst into tears, "Thank you, Master, for saving me." I immediately went to prepare for the transcendence ceremony of my youngest son, and I also hoped that the mage would help him rest in peace, and my whole family was grateful. ”

"I'm grateful, it's going to be him this time." Tang Xun patted Qiu Shaohu on the shoulder and said, "Not only is it to subdue the demons, but even your son's excesses are not good for him." ”

"Huh?" Qiu Shaohu was surprised, why did he want to be himself next?

"You'll understand." Wu Jingxing looked at him, looking as he should be, and he was even more confused.

At this time, on the fifteenth day of February in the yellow calendar, the wedding and funeral are favorable, and the yang energy is in full bloom at noon, which can break the blood.

On the other hand, the preparation of the young son outside the field was much faster than expected, after all, the ceremonial utensils had been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Qiu Shaohu followed Tang Xun and Wu Jingxing, standing in the center of the mansion on the right side of the auditorium, next to the main seat is the tablet of the ancestors of the Tian family, the old and young of the Tian family are facing those tablets at this time, kneeling on the ground next to each other.

Even Tian Yuesheng's complexion was much better, and he didn't need to be supported by others when he knelt on the ground.

On the table under the tablet, a basket was placed, and the basket was covered with a red cloth, and the body of the young son of the Tian family was under the red cloth.

Chaomen customs, the son who died in the full moon should be buried in swaddling clothes instead of a coffin, which means that he will continue to enjoy the love of his parents; In addition to other people's mourning routines, the deceased himself should be decorated with red, which means red luck and joy, and breaks the bad luck of early newborn death.

Tanabe Tsuru, supported by his wife Yuanwei, trembled and walked to the body of his young son, and her wife had already cried into tears.

Although Tanabe Tsuru has worked hard for many days, and today he heard the good news that the evil thing has been removed, but in the face of the funeral of his own son, he still touched the scene and felt sadness, and said with a crying voice: "Son, you were born not long ago, and you ...... You've suffered! ”

As he spoke, his trembling hands lifted the red cloth from the basket.

Qiu Shaohu's shoulders trembled, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

The baby's face was withered, and it was evident that he had been out of breath for days, but that was not the point - the point was that there was a large hole in the baby's chest, and the young heart was missing.

A few days ago, I got a "primer" for a resting place, and it was also a baby heart!

Now it's still in its own hands.

Could it be said?

"Father's love and mother's love, and the body is warm, and the whole body should be returned to comfort the heart of the whole family."

Tang Xun recited the Sutra of Transcendence with words and presided over the ceremony.

Wu Jingxing was behind Qiu Shaohu and suddenly touched him.

Qiu Shaohu naturally knew what the other party meant, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only go forward first, walk to the baby's corpse, and take out the baby's heart.

"My son's heart!" Tanabe Crane's wife Yuan Wei saw this scene and almost fainted, Tanabe Crane grabbed her, and the subordinates followed to support her, so that Yuan Wei did not fall to the ground.

"Where the heart is, the soul rests, may the dead rest in peace, and there will be no remorse." Tang Xun took the baby's heart from Qiu Shaohu's hand, placed it flat on the baby's corpse, gently covered it with his palm, and when he spread his palm again, the corpse had recovered and looked unharmed.

The Tian family wiped their tears and sobbed, and Tang Xun presided over the transcendent ceremony for a long time, inviting the spirit and sending the spirit, and then the parents sent their sons and brothers to their relatives, and they were very busy.

After that, Qiu Shaohu and Wu Jingxing kept standing by and watching, and they didn't make any moves.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter of Shen Shi that there was a faint blackness in the sky, and the whole ceremony was completed.

Tanabe Tsuru had already been sent back to the room to rest, and Tang Xun had also received those messy magic weapons, just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiu Shaohu suddenly asked, "How did Tanabe Crane's young son die?" Why did the baby's heart become a resting place in the end? ”

All doubts had long lingered in Qiu Shaohu's mind, but he couldn't find an answer by himself.

"Didn't I say it, Tanabe Tsuru asked for a method, wanting his descendants to be named on the gold list and high school jinshi, and that method was obtained from the people of the resting place."

Tang Xun said.

"So that tumbler was invited back by Tian Yuan Wai himself at the beginning?" Qiu Shaohu said.

"Almost, and the resting place didn't actually lie to him, that tumbler did work." Tang Xun said: "The root of human intelligence lies in the 'soul', and the root of the body lies in the 'spirit'. The resting place is to hide the method of replenishing the soul in the tumbler, so that the sons of Tanabe Tsuru can improve their intelligence and memorize many books that they could not remember. ”

"But the balance of things comes at the cost of a rapid weakening of the body. For babies, this blow is even more obvious, so his son, who has just reached the age of one, can't survive and dies young. ”

"Babies are ignorant, they can't tell one from the other, so what's the use of this superhuman intelligence? It is ironic that he lost his life because of such unhelpful things. Qiu Shaohu said.

"yes, but the tumbler got out of control after that, that's another problem." Tang Xun said: "Misfortune and blessing depend, the Tian family has experienced such a big change, and luck has also bottomed out. I think this time, Tanabe Tsuru's long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, and his eldest son Tian Yuesheng will be able to go to high school this year. ”

"Is it worth it to pay for the life of the youngest son in exchange for the luck of the eldest son's high school? Powerful and famous are the most moving, but the imperial examination is difficult, not to mention that some people have no chance to reach the first place in their lives, even if they are fortunate enough to be in high school, the ups and downs of the sea of eunuchs, and the unpredictable killing opportunities in the officialdom are the most complicated places in the world, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get out of the whole body. But all those who have left their names in history, how many good deaths are there? Why are there still so many people coming forward? It's better to live your life and be a rich man. ”

Qiu Shaohu was a little emotional.

"You also said the reason, 'power and fame are the most moving', and in the world, 'official fortune and prosperity' is the greatest praise for a person. One step up, it is Pingyao Qingyun, and it is not the same world as before. If it's you, can you refuse? ”

Tang Xun said meaningfully.

Qiu Shaohu avoided this question, and just said: "I think that tumbler is weird, I want to take a closer look, maybe I can find some secrets of the resting place." ”

"Well, if that's the case, go next door to the original wing, which is the study of the Tian Yuanwai's family, and now he is vacant and says that he can rest for us. I've got to put some finishing touches on it. ”

Tang Xun waved his hand and said indifferently.

Qiu Shaohu left here, walked through the courtyard, and saw that behind the original wing room, the lock of another house had been opened, and guessed that this was the study, so he pushed the door directly and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, Qiu Shaohu felt that this Tian family was worthy of being a scholarly family in the past, and the collection of books left behind was really rich.

Unlike the books that ordinary wealthy merchants only use to decorate the faΓ§ade, there are no miscellaneous books on the shelves here, either the classics of the sages or the old history of the previous dynasties, which are well organized.

Even the Taige style font is also available, and this kind of font commonly used by officials in the court is also sought after by scholars all over the world.

It seems that Tanabe Tsuru is educating his son, and even writing is moving closer to the official imperial examination. There is a saying that "perseverance will eventually become successful", and the Tian family has not been reached for many years, and it is really due to luck.

Qiu Shaohu sat at the table, put the tumbler on the table, and looked at it carefully.

It turned out that this thing that had caused them countless troubles was extremely quiet at the moment under the blessing of Tang Xun's runes.

The ever-changing face also reverted to a blank face, looking indistinguishable from a normal tumbler.

"Why is the resting place represented by a tumbler? What does this mean? Qiu Shaohu touched its whole body with his hand, wanting to discover some details.

The tumbler itself is very smooth, and even the polished copper mirror is not so smooth, and I don't know what kind of material it is made of.

Qiu Shaohu tapped his fingers on it a few times, making a dull sound, not like metal, nor as soft as wood.

Just touched it one more time, and the keen sense of touch suddenly gave him another idea, there is indeed a material, which is extremely close to this feel.

If there is a difference, there is only one point - that is, in the impression, that kind of thing, it should be extremely cold.

"Ice?" Qiu Shaohu had this idea, and he was a little incredulous, "Could it be made of ice?" ”

If there's a kind of ice that doesn't melt, that's exactly how it feels.

But under the sky, will there be ice that is not cold at all?

Qiu Shaohu tried to cross the True Qi into it, carefully probing its inside.

Just in the next moment, Qiu Shaohu suddenly became sluggish.

The whole person is like falling into an ice cave.

The place where the true qi passed, like the land of midwinter, was slaughtered, and Qiu Shaohu seemed to see that he was on the extremely cold ice field, and the snow turned the heavens and the earth into barrenness, and everything was frozen in eternity.

What a terrible extreme cold ice!

It's no wonder that this tumbler made of solid ice is not cold on the outside, it turns out that the meaning of extreme cold is hidden inside.

"Shhh

Such a chilling momentum is really unprecedented.

Even Qiu Shaohu dared to say that in the hands of the masters he saw with his own eyes, mercy was inferior by three points.

Who the hell is it?

Could it be the man behind the scenes at the resting place?

The "usher" in their mouths?

What does he want to do with the death-worshipping people who drive the resting place?

At this point, the tumbler changed again.

On its body, the patterns of sunflowers and skeletons have been swinging from side to side.

Qiu Shaohu had long discovered that its body was actually translucent and contained water. The two patterns float in the water, and when the surface of the water shakes, it naturally changes.

The base of the tumbler is not balanced with an ordinary weight such as an iron block, but is replaced with water, which is unimaginable.

Under Qiu Shaohu's gaze, the water surface inside the tumbler underwent a strange shift. It was placed on a flat table, but it seemed to be placed on a slope, and the horizontal plane could not be fixed.

But the tumbler still remains positive.

It is a tumbler that never changes itself in response to the swings of the outside world.

It can't change, so what will change is only the movement of the outside world.

The tumbler's sad and joyless face suddenly turned into a smile.

A dangerous aura emerged, as if Qiu Shaohu had exhausted his qi and was about to slide from the smooth road into a crisis.

Qiu Shaohu's fists clenched suddenly.
