This time, my master went to Hu's house and brought me with me.

He felt that what Old Man Hu encountered was not simple, if it was really the Tang family who was playing ghosts, and there was no absolute benefit, they would not fight the idea of a dying person.

In addition, Shigong is very old, so he took me with him on this trip.

This time to go to Hu's house, it took nearly seven hours just to take a plane.

We have to fly from Shen City to City A for two hours, and then transfer from City A and fly for another five hours to Mohe.

I thought to myself, it's all in the Northeast, why is this Mohe so difficult to reach?

While staying at the airport in City A, Ho Chi Van went to the toilet.

Taking advantage of his absence, my master talked to me about Old Man Hu.

After all, my understanding of Mr. Hu only comes from the Internet, and of course I still don't know much about it.

"Professor Hu is a very knowledgeable person, and few people can compare with him in the field of Chinese studies."

Shi Gong praised: "Especially for the study of Zhou Yi, many books on Zhou Yi on the market are written by him himself, this is a pure cultural researcher." ”

Moreover, Professor Hu is over 80 years old, and he often goes to universities to give lectures and promote Chinese culture and traditional culture to students, so he is also a pure scholar.

What is even more admirable is that he also used all the money he earned from publishing books to support my country's education.

In general, Professor Hu is an old-school intellectual who has devoted his life to the cause of literature and education.

Therefore, the teacher's praise for Professor Hu is very high, he thinks that Professor Hu will not have any problems, and this time Professor Hu took the initiative to ask his son to come to us.

"What I'm worried about is that, as you said, the Tang family has taken a fancy to Professor Hu."

Shigong whispered to me: "If this is the case, then saving Professor Hu's life is only the first step, and the life is saved first, and then they must seek what they want from Professor Hu." ”

"Professor Hu's depth of thought, it is absolutely impossible to collude with these people, then they can only come hard."

I was taken aback: "You mean that they will kidnap Professor Hu?" ”

Shigong nodded: "It's possible." ”

The next five hours of travel was too long.

Domestic flight routes are only one or two hours at most, and five hours are still rare.

When I arrived at Hu's house, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to be idle, so I took advantage of this long time to make up for sleep.

By the time the plane landed at the airport, it was already dark.

When I arrived at Hu's house, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

The Hu family is indeed big, and it is also a villa to live in, but the villa here is not expensive, because the overall house price is not high, and this villa looks a little old.

After entering the house, we met Professor Hu.

The old gentleman was very emaciated, presumably because he was seriously ill, and was half-leaning on the sofa, and his spirit was extremely weak.

My master and I just glanced at him, and we could see that his limit was approaching, and if he went with the flow, he might have to leave in less than half a month.

After seeing the master come in, Professor Hu was quite happy, and he was a little more energetic and wanted to get up to greet us.

"No, no, sit down."

Shigong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Professor Hu sit back.

The two of them briefly exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Professor Hu is indeed an old-school scholar, his greetings are too rigid, and after a few sentences, he jumps into the topic: "Lao Xiang, my son should have told you about the matter, I am a person who is about to leave, I don't know who is looking for me to trouble, you help me solve this trouble, let me go with peace of mind, and it will be the last time in this life to trouble you again." ”

Shigong was more concise and nodded: "I know what's going on, but I don't know the specific situation, and I can't tell you too much, you sleep as usual tonight, I'll see if I can let the Yin Cha who came to pick you up before come again." ”

"If he comes, I'll escort you away with my apprentice, and if the masked man appears again this time, you don't have to be afraid of him, because I'm here, what do you think?"

Professor Hu patted the back of his master's hand and said noncommittally: "You can do it, but there is another thing, I have a hexagram, there are seven people ......"

Before Professor Hu could finish speaking, Shigong interrupted: "I know, I'll be honest with you, if the ghost hook is successful, the seven people will be fine, and you don't need to know anything else, if it doesn't work, then I'll talk about something else tomorrow." ”

I was stunned, and it was definitely the fastest and most concise communication I've ever heard.

The whole conversation doesn't even take more than two minutes.

But what amazes me the most is Professor Hu's mentality in the face of death.

Even if a person who can see it again can maintain an open-mindedness when he knows that he is about to die, which few people can do.

From Professor Hu's mouth, passing away is like going out on a long journey.

It is worthy of being a master who has studied Zhou Yi for most of his life, and this state of mind is too invincible.

After chatting for two minutes, Shigong and Professor Hu continued to greet each other, but the person who was about to pass away had nothing to greet him, and he didn't talk for too long.

After that, I followed my master to the courtyard, and he drew a talisman and pasted it on the wall, and wrote a memorial to burn to the underworld.

"Funeral text" is a special style of writing, used to contact with the ghosts and gods of the underworld, the general content is to ask the underworld if you can send a living person nearby to come to the Yin Cha, today there is a Taoist town in the yang world, everyone cooperate.

After this inscription is burned, wait for half an hour, and there will be a reply from the underworld, and the way to reply is that we light three incense sticks here and judge by the smoke from the burning of the incense.

During the half-hour of waiting, I chatted with my master.

"Master, this old professor is already terminally ill, how can he be calm to this extent......

"Because life and death are just a cycle."

Shi Gong smiled indifferently: "Born out, lived, and finally died, reborn, lived, if you skip the process of death, isn't this a terrible thing?" ”

"People like happiness and joy, but what is happiness and joy, how do people perceive it? Because we have first perceived pain, we can experience happiness and joy, and if there is no pain, there is no happiness and joy. ”

"Life and death, in fact, are the same thing."

I realized.

And he realized it thoroughly.

Shi Gong is worthy of being Shi Gong, and he is worthy of being a man who ends the conversation in two minutes.

"What Zhou Yi expounded in is actually such a principle of 'man and nature', no matter how complicated the long argument is, it is just a refinement made by people who unilaterally hope to apply Zhou Yili's truth to the human order. ”

Shi Gong said: "Professor Hu has studied Zhou Yi for most of his life, and he naturally sees things like life and death very thoroughly. In fact, in this life, whether it is the end of life or death, as long as you can live to old age, there is no big regret. ”
