Thirty-nine, brothers
As soon as Yuanzi said this, I found that Master's expression also changed slightly, and motioned Yuanzi not to say anything further. So Yuanzi understood, picked up the wine glass, and began to push the glass with the master again.
I'm a little disappointed, but I've learned a lot. That is the "past life".
Regarding things like reincarnation, I used to hear from Master about things like reincarnation. There are many places where there are also so-called "reborn people". These principles are fully explained by Master's theoretical system. It's just that I wasn't very interested in this aspect before, and all I had to discuss with Master was about the cultivation of the exercises and the subjugation of demons and monsters. So reincarnation, past life cause and effect, these are just stories to listen to.
The two of them drank staggered that day, and it ended satisfactorily, of course, the only one who was dissatisfied was me, and what was not satisfied was my curiosity. But I know that if Master doesn't want to tell me, it's useless for me to ask. And going behind the master's back to ask Yuanzi can only make the master unhappy, so I temporarily suppressed this curiosity and gave up the idea of getting to the bottom of it.
Who knows, if I don't get to the bottom of it, the answer seems to be approaching me.
That night, although I didn't drink, I was exhausted from carrying two big men who were too drunk to go home.
When I got home, I felt dizzy and didn't want to wash up, so I didn't care about Xiaoji's protests, so I fell asleep in bed.
In a haze, I felt that I had come to a mountain village, which was like a phoenix in Xiangxi, surrounded by green mountains and jungles, and houses were built on the mountainside.
I don't know why I'm there either. There was only a small winding dirt road in front of me, and I could only walk forward at a loss. I had a vague sense of déjà vu, but I couldn't remember when I had been there.
I don't know how long I walked, but I saw a small tea stall in front of me, with a few tables and small stools. Next to the tea stall sat an old woman, dressed a bit like that of the ethnic minorities in Xiangxi.
When my grandmother saw me, she beckoned to me and motioned for me to sit down.
"You're finally back!"
"You are the one, you know me?" I couldn't remember who the old woman was.
"It's normal that you don't know me, and you'll probably remember it later. "Grandma poured me a bowl of tea. In such a strange situation, I dare not drink it.
Seeing that I didn't dare to drink, the old grandmother smiled: "The debts you owe have finally been paid off, now practice with him and cultivate the Tao, it's very good!"
"Grandma, do you know my master?" I became more and more confused the more I listened.
"Your master, not only do I know you, but you also know each other! Okay, without further ado, you should also go back, if you don't drink this water, then forget it!" With that, the old grandmother waved her hand, and I sat up, and found that I was still in the bedroom, sleeping next to Xiao Ji, who was snoring.
Was it a dream? But the dream was so real that I could recall every detail in it. It was then that I understood why Koji was able to retell those dreams so clearly. Because it's the same feeling as what you've experienced.
Thinking back to the words of the old grandmother in the dream just now, it seems that I have known the master for a long time, could it be the previous life that Yuanzi said? Also, my debts have been paid off, who do I owe the debt? Why do you say that I have come back? Could it be that the old lady is also someone I know?
I wanted to tell Master this dream directly as I did before, and let him help me solve it. However, when I recalled that when Yuanzi mentioned my previous life, Master's reaction at that time, I felt that Master didn't want to tell me this, and I didn't need to be bored, so I temporarily suppressed my curiosity.
Sure enough, within a few days, Master's alcohol addiction recurred, and he asked Yuanzi to come to his house for dinner and drinking. As an introducer, I was naturally given the opportunity to attend.
Everyone drank half a catty, and these two gods showed their deities again. Started to discuss topics such as Yin Soldier borrowing Dao and Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night again.
Chatting and chatting, they talked about Xiangxi, and as soon as I saw the opportunity, I immediately interjected. I told Master and Motoko about my dream that day.
"Master, did we know each other in our previous lives, and what does it mean to repay my debts?"
Master put down the wine glass and sighed, "Hey, if you drink the bowl of water that Grandma gave you, maybe you don't need to ask me." That's right, we did know each other in our previous lives, not only did we know each other, but we were also brothers!"
