Chapter 8: The Old Taoist Priest's Confession
Gu Shiyi stretched out his first two fingers again,
"Don't be afraid, there's a second way...... That is to find a corpse, borrow the corpse to return the soul, but this corpse is not easy to find, you need to die newly, the death period is within the first seven days, and there is a birth date, the physique is consistent with you, you can't have resentment when you die, and the first few years should be very weak, but this is a trivial matter, as long as you are willing to practice the Daomen Heart Method, you will slowly get better......"
The clay figure followed her example, and sat cross-legged on the table, bathing in the light of the moonlight, while holding his chin and thinking,
"The first path sounds very dangerous, but I'm not afraid of suffering, and in the end, my heart changes drastically, and I hurt you and irrelevant others...... If you can take the second path, it will be the best......"
She also heard Gu Shiyi tell the story of their master and apprentice going around to kill demons and eliminate demons, in fact, many demons are not born bad, most of them were invaded by inner demons when they were practicing, or they were tempted by people in the demon path, and in order to improve the realm, they rushed for quick success and quick profit, so they entered the evil path.
Gu Shiyi nodded and replied,
"I think so too, when Master returns, I will ask him to lead us out of the mountain to find a suitable corpse for you, rest assured...... Although there are not as many people in this realm as there are people in your realm, a corpse that matches your eight characters can be found if you think about it, so it will take a little more time......"
After thinking about it, he said,
"It's really not possible, if you turn to the ghost path, how can the master also be from the Dao sect, and there is a way to alleviate your pain in the future......"
Gu Shiyi said again,
"Now you want to think about strengthening your soul, I will teach you a set of methods of breathing, you first learn to breathe the power of Taiyin to consolidate your soul body, otherwise...... In your current situation, if you are exposed to the sun, within ten minutes, your soul will be gone, and you will never have a chance to be reborn! ”
The clay man nodded, sat cross-legged like Gu Shiyi, and looked up to the moon, thinking in his heart, spitting in his mouth, the two girlfriends stayed in the courtyard until midnight, and in the second half of the night Gu Shiyi went into the hall to sleep, but Li Yan'er was standing in front of the door of the palace, looking at the moon in a daze, the moonlight projected in her body, she looked down at the hands, feet and body made of black mud, and let out a long sigh......
She has been living like a dream for the past two days!
It is said that life has twists and turns, but no one is as reversed as himself, right?
The first half of my life was already miserable to live in such a family, but I didn't expect the second half of my life to be even more bizarre, first I was a ghost trapped in a fish pond for three years, and then I actually wore it to this world, and it became a lump of mud that didn't even have a body, and she was now so fragile that she would be broken if she was pinched, and there was a danger of her soul scattering at any time,
"Alas......"
Li Yan'er sighed,
"It's all here, what else? Naturally, I am trying to live! ”
She has lived in that world for less than 30 years, graduated from college, and her work has just improved, if it weren't for being deceived back by her family, several eldest sisters in the company would have introduced her boyfriend, she could have gotten rid of the tragic fate behind, and if she wants to blame herself, she is too soft-hearted!
She is so aggrieved to die, she is really unwilling, now that there is this life that Eleven has won for her, she can't live up to the sacrifice of her good sister!
She let out a long breath, took two steps outside, sat down cross-legged, recalled the method of the Eleventh Sect, and began to exhale it seriously......
The old Taoist priest came back at noon on the second day, and when he came back, he also carried two catties of beef and two pots of wine.
"Dead girl, don't hurry up and put the table on the table, Master Dao, I want to drink wine and eat meat!"
Gu Shiyi was very happy when he saw that the old Taoist priest had returned to the rogue appearance with a hippie smile,
"It seems that Widow Zhang has a miraculous effect in treating depression, and it is really a wonderful hand...... Rejuvenation! ”
Of course...... It certainly can't be cured with just your hands!
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was happy, Gu Shiyi was naturally happy, took the dishes and chopsticks out, and the master and apprentice sat down to eat wine, this meal was until it was dark, the old Taoist priest was drunk again, Gu Shiyi helped him into the hall, and when the master was asleep, Gu Shiyi released the clay figure,
"Yan'er, you still follow the method I taught yesterday, this is a credit accumulated over time, and you can't slack off for a day......"
The clay figure nodded, and he ran to the gate of the palace, while Gu Shiyi returned to his bed, meditated and breathed for thirty-six weeks, and then fell asleep!
After a night without a word, and on the second day, the old Taoist priest called Gu Shiyi and Li Yan'er to the front with a serious face.
"Apprentice! As a teacher, I will tell you if I have something important today......"
Gu Shiyi's heart came, he sat up straight, and answered with his chest straight,
"Master, the apprentice is in trouble, if you want to be punished, just come!"
The old Taoist priest shook his head,
"This is the life of the teacher, your uncle has already reminded the teacher, it is because the teacher has been fascinated by greed for so many years, and he has not seen through it......"
After saying that, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he mentioned the spirit,
"You...... Go to the bottom of the confession and take out the contents of the clay jar......"
Gu Shiyi was stunned,
"Master, are we going out of the mountain?"
The old Taoist priest urged,
"Go!"
Gu Shiyi got under the confession case according to his words, and took out a big burden, this is all the belongings of the master and apprentice, the old Taoist priest took it and opened the knot on the top, and exposed the things inside, there is everything here, there are old Taoist robes, peach wood swords and other ghost-hunting lines, and there is a small box, open it and there are a few silver tickets, a few pieces of scattered silver, Gu Shiyi was a little surprised when he saw it,
"Master, why is there only so much left?"
The old Taoist priest can save money, he often says that the silver in this box is his coffin book, and she is easily not allowed to move, what is going on now?
More than half of the silver is missing!
Old Taoist Dao,
"Yesterday I sent some to Widow Zhang, she has been with me for so many years, she has many children and grandchildren in her family, and the whole family has to eat and use, several daughters-in-law have a lot of eyes, she has some yellow and white things around, so as not to be filial piety before the old bed!"
Money is something outside the body, Gu Shiyi is free and easy, and although he is wandering around with the old Taoist, he really doesn't pay much attention to money, and he nodded when he heard the words,
"Also, people have been with you for so long, and they are also sincere to you, if I were the master who went down the mountain and married someone earlier, I would not be chased up the mountain to fight!"
When the time comes, the old Taoist priest will be the stepfather of those strong sons, see if they dare to beat people!
The old Taoist priest gave her a blank look,
"If I hadn't been for the mirror......
Halfway through the words, it was as if he had poked the sore spot, and he couldn't help but feel a headache in his heart, covered his chest and coughed a few times, and changed the subject.
"You put away all the things here, you can use these magic weapons as long as you can, you can't keep them for a thought, hide the silver, walk in the world in the future, without this thing you can only drink the northwest wind!"
But fortunately, Eleven's ghost-catching skills are better than his own, and he won't have to worry about running out of food in the future!
Gu Shiyi didn't hear anything strange, and said with a grin when he heard this,
"Isn't there still you, Master, go down and catch a few little ghosts, and you'll have everything!"
Old Taoist Dao,
"You don't have to coax me, now your Taoism is more refined than mine, and most of the silver in this box is earned by you, you just take it!"
Li Yan'er, who was sitting on the side, heard a little wrong, and glanced at Gu Shiyi, but unfortunately the good sister was very grinning, and she didn't notice it with a smirk on her face, but the old Taoist squinted at the old eyes and saw it, sighed secretly in her heart, and then said to the apprentice,
"Do you remember where your hometown is?"
Gu Shiyi was early, although he left home at the age of five, he could still remember the things at home, and thought about it,
"Remember Chenju in the north of Daxi State......"
"Hmm!"
The old Taoist priest nodded,
"You've been away from home for so many years, so let's go back and take a look!"
Gu Shiyi pursed his lips, and suddenly felt that something was wrong,
"Old Taoist, what do you mean, what do you want me to go back for?"
Old Taoist Dao,
"Isn't there no need to hide in Tibet anymore? You were originally a young lady from the family, and you have suffered a lot from sleeping outside with me for so many years, so you should go back and take a look! ”
Gu Shiyi bit her lip, if she wanted to say that she didn't want to go back and take a look, it was fake, but if she really went back to be the eldest lady again, she knew that most of the time she wouldn't be able to go back!
After thinking about it, I still said,
"Yes, let's go back and take a look, if they still recognize me, I will go back, I will let them build a yard for Master, and we will not walk around outside, I will raise Master's old man in the future!"
said so, but she also knew that when she was at home, there was a clan elder who suspected that her blood was impure because of her eloped mother, and once proposed to expel her from the family, and now she will go back after more than 20 years outside, I am afraid that no one will admit it!
You must know that the eldest daughter of this family has the right to inherit, and she can recruit a son-in-law, and the child born is a serious long-term heir, and she can inherit the family business.
Such a family is fighting for power and profit, and it is already fighting to the death, how can you let a daughter who is not welcomed go back and share it again?
The old Taoist priest naturally knew this, but he didn't break it, and said with a smile,
"That's good!"
The old Taoist priest continued,
"And ...... It's the mirror that leads through ......."
This is a serious matter, Gu Shiyi's face became more and more serious, she straightened her waist and moved her buttocks,
"Master, you say ......"
The old Taoist priest thought for a while and said,
"This treasure mirror has been used by you once, and it has leaked my cover-up, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here in the future, so you can pack up and leave after three days......"
After that, he told again,
"Remember that you must leave after three days, if you walk slowly, you will be chased by someone following the tracks, and your life will only be in danger!"
Such a treasure falling into the hands of their master and apprentice is a blessing to the sky, and if the ability is not good and there is a treasure in the body, it is really impatient to live if you don't know how to hide!
Seeing Gu Shiyi nodding and saying,
"This treasure is indeed not something that our master and apprentice can have, your shallow mana really can't keep it, you go to Huangjing first, find Zhang Zhenyue, and use this thing to seek Zhang Zhenyue's protection for you, and then go back to Chenzhou, although the emperor is far away, Zhang Zhenyue's name may not be able to protect you, but after all, you can make the Gu family look down on you and dare not bully you too much, and then you want to find a suitable husband for yourself and marry yourself......
He said "you", but didn't mention "we", Gu Shiyi didn't hear it, Li Yan'er listened clearly, she glanced at the old Taoist priest deeply, the old Taoist priest felt her gaze, turned his head and smiled at her, and then said to Gu Shiyi,
"This thing is a remnant of the ancient immortals, with my master who was a scholar of heaven and man, and the Tao was profound, and he did not study the use of one of its ten, it is a treasure and a scourge, and people who have no ability to get it are a big disaster, you can't be reluctant!"
Gu Shiyi shook his head again and again,
"Master, don't worry! Apprentice, I have never had extravagant hopes for this thing, as long as the master is willing to do it, I will naturally be willing to do it! ”
This thing is just an object that she has collected for many years, and for the past twenty years, she has meditated and vomited for it every night, and also hid for it, if it weren't for the fact that it made her acquaintance with Yan'er and used it easily, she would have been impatient to serve!
"Hmm!"
The old Taoist priest smiled, a kind smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and touched the top of Gu Shiyi's head,
"Good boy, after so many years, I've suffered you!"
Gu Shiyi smiled innocently,
"Master, apprentices are not bitter!"
In addition to being a little sloppy, the smell on his body is a little bigger, he snores a little louder when he sleeps, he is a little lascivious, and he has no moral bottom line, but the rest is still very good to her, he doesn't beat or scold, he eats delicious food together, drinks wine together, and remembers to bring himself when he runs away......
This kind of life is actually quite free!
When the old Taoist priest saw the apprentice laughing stupidly, he slapped her on the head,
"Don't be stupid, your temperament is impulsive and irritable, and you are less careful with your daughter's family, after you go down the mountain, you will have more eyes!"
Gu Shiyi heard that something was wrong this time, straightened up, glared and asked,
"Old Taoist, what's going on with you today, how do you seem to explain what happened later?"
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he was furious and kicked her with his foot.
"Lao Tzu can't die for a while, get out! I'm going to sleep a little longer! ”
Gu Shiyi was kicked by him, rolled out, and came back with a smile and picked up the clay figure.
"Yan'er, let's go, I'll take you to the mountains...... Meet the old dryad! ”
The old Taoist priest was lying on the bed, facing the wall sideways, with one hand under his head, and snorted when he heard the words,
"Don't provoke the spirits in the mountains, that old tree spirit is not a good thing!"
Gu Shiyi smiled and said,
"You don't have to keep saying it, I know!"
Things that can live in the mountains for thousands of eight hundred years have become fine, naturally they will not be good with each other, they are the same as people, they are born with their own temperament, the old tree spirit is a little evil, and the temperament is very domineering, now it is on the top of the mountain, there are no flowers and trees within a radius of ten zhang, and when it can endure more, the grass and trees on the entire mountain will be sucked dry by it, and nothing can survive!
