Chapter 186: Impermanence
It didn't take long for someone to come to pick up the child.
The man was an old man, dressed in a black coat.
He looked like an ordinary old man, a kind old man who could be found everywhere in the park.
I thought he was a living man, but when I saw no shadow of him on the ground, I realized that he was not a living man.
He glanced at the child in my arms and asked, "Young man, who is this child yours?" ”
I said, "This is my friend's child, and he died before he was born." ”
The old man sighed: "Poor jacket, you haven't had time to be born yet, this is going to leave again." ”
I was a little uneasy and asked, "Uncle, where are you going to take him, can he be reincarnated......
The old man said, "I can't tell you more about this, you shouldn't have seen me, but don't worry, unborn babies die young, they can be reincarnated, I take him to where he should go, and he will be reincarnated soon." ”
"This child has done evil in his last life, so there is a catastrophe in this life, since he has responded to the catastrophe, that is, the debt has been repaid, and he can still enjoy happiness in the next life, relax his heart, young man."
Hearing the old man say this, I was also relieved and handed over the child to him.
Unexpectedly, the child, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up as soon as he arrived in the old man's arms.
When he saw that I had given him over to someone else, he immediately began to cry again.
"Eh, little doll, don't cry, don't cry, grandpa will take you
The old man didn't seem to be very good at coaxing the child, so he hurriedly said to me, "Young man, you'd better not come with me, I'll take him away." ”
After saying that, he took the child in his arms and left.
The boy was crying so hard that he kept his arms open to me.
I wasn't going to follow, but I just couldn't control myself, so I followed.
"Chen Mo, people told you not to follow!"
"Why don't you be obedient!"
Song Xiaotian hurriedly shouted at me twice, but didn't call me back.
It was as if I was sending my own children away.
I followed for more than ten minutes and followed me to the deserted street.
The old man finally couldn't take it anymore, stopped holding the child, and turned to look at me.
"Young man, didn't you tell me not to follow?"
"This little doll doesn't want to leave you, if you follow like this, he won't be reincarnated."
I froze in place, and quickly took two or three steps back, signaling that I would not follow any more.
The old man sighed and disappeared from my sight with the child in his arms.
Looking at the empty streets, my heart seemed to be hollowed out, and my mind was full of pictures of getting along with children and Du Yuwei.
I seem to understand something.
This world is very lively.
But the soul in this world is lonely.
……
I returned to the seventh master's house, and the seventh master and Song Xiaotian were sitting on the dam waiting for me.
The seventh master made all the tea.
"The fate of people is very wonderful, and it is extremely difficult to become a family, a friend, and a lover in the vast sea of people."
"Cherish when fate comes, let go when fate is gone, as long as you cherish the moment, you won't leave regrets."
The words of the seventh master can always make people have an epiphany.
Teacher, preaching, receiving karma, solving doubts, I respect this teacher from the bottom of my heart.
In order to distract me, Song Xiaotian changed the topic and asked who the old man was just now.
"He's impermanent." The seventh master said.
This is the first time we have heard of this name, and we have only heard of black impermanence and white impermanence, but we have never heard of impermanence.
"I'll tell you a story, it's about impermanence."
The seventh master said slowly: "This story happened in ancient times, but there is no way to verify which dynasty it is, it is said that there is a person who is an official in Jizhou, surnamed Liang, called Liang Hao." ”
This Liang Hao liked to play chess, and one day when he was playing with the guests, a scholar came to watch and refused to leave for a whole hour.
Liang Hao saw that this scholar loved chess so much, so he invited him to sit down and took the initiative to give up his place to let him play chess with the guests.
Unexpectedly, after the scholar sat down, the state of the whole person changed, he didn't eat or drink, and he went down with the guests from noon to evening.
Just as the scholar was fascinated, suddenly a spirit fell off the stool and knelt down towards Liang Hao with a frightened face.
Of course, Liang Hao was stunned, so he asked this scholar what he meant, why he was so frightened.
The scholar cried and told Liang Hao to tell Liang Hao to instruct the guards in the cell not to put chains around his neck.
Liang Hao was even more stunned, saying that this scholar had been playing chess here for several hours, where had anyone come to put this scholar's neck?
But this scholar begged bitterly, and even kowtowed to Liang Hao, but Liang Hao had no choice but to go to the guard's house and ask the guard.
Who knew that after Liang Hao arrived at the guard's house, he found that the guard was lying on the bed and had long since lost his breath, and was actually dead.
When this person died, he naturally had to handle the aftermath, but the guard suffered from having no family, and no one collected his body after his death.
Just when they were about to carry the guard's coffin to the burial, they passed by a wandering Taoist, who said that the person in the coffin was still alive, but he was only suspended in the underworld, and he was a living person, also known as impermanence, and was now handling a case in the underworld, and he would come back to life after completing the case.
Liang Hao is a scholar, how can he believe this person's superstitious words.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, and couldn't bear to bury a big living person alive, the Taoist said that the guard would wake up after two days, and asked Liang Hao to park the coffin at home for two days, and if the guard didn't wake up after two days, he would carry it to be buried.
Although this Liang Hao did not believe in superstition, but when he saw that the Taoist actually guaranteed his life, he hesitated, and ordered the coffin to be carried back again.
Unexpectedly, two days later, the guard really answered the words of the Taoist, and suddenly came back to life from the coffin.
Although the guard was alive, the scholar from before was dead.
"Obviously, this scholar's longevity has ended, and the guard is impermanent, helping the underworld to hook the soul, and taking away the scholar's earth soul, and the guard returns to the yang world, and the scholar naturally goes to the underworld."
After listening to the seventh master's narration, Song Xiaotian and I shouted magically.
In other words, the old man just now, he is a living person!
A living person can even hook the soul and do bad things!
"There has always been a profession of impermanence, especially in rural areas."
The seventh master said: "Some people are fine one second, and the next second they fall asleep inexplicably, and some people can sleep for a day or two, or even several days, in fact, they are helping the underworld to hook the soul." ”
"Some people are afraid of this kind of yang energy because they are heavy, like soldiers, and they have a killing aura on their bodies, and this yin difference is also a yin soul, so they will be afraid of this kind of supreme yang energy."
"And the living Yin Cha is a living person, and they are not afraid of Yang Qi, so their existence is to assist Yin Cha to hook the soul."
"It's just that these living people are bad, they can't casually divulge the affairs of the underworld, once they leak it, they will be slapped at the least, and they will be deprived of their life."
