Chapter Ninety-Six: Intricacies
Master and Hu Qingxuan didn't care about the changes of Hu Laohun and his wife waking up and falling into a coma, but each walked out with a bowl of black and white magic water. Wujin and I followed curiously, but saw Master and Hu Qingxuan walking to the middle of the courtyard and carefully placing the bowl on the ground. The two bowls were neatly arranged, and I looked at it again, only to see that the ghostly qi was still struggling in the magic water, and the strong black gas was constantly bubbling up on the law water.
The black smell was like a rancid smell mixed with a burnt smell, which was unusually unpleasant. Master and Hu Qingxuan glanced down at the bowl placed on the ground in front of each other, and then took out a charm at the same time, flicked his fingers, and two wisps of flame soared, Master and Hu Qingxuan looked at each other again, and at the same time smashed the burning rune paper in their hands into the bowl.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the burning rune paper met the magic water in the bowl, a cloud of black gas with sparks suddenly emerged from the bowl, rushing straight into the sky, and mixed with a series of terrible ghost screams, gradually moving away. I looked at the two bowls again, where was there still a drop of water in them, they were all empty, Master and Hu Qingxuan looked up at the ghostly aura that had disappeared without a trace, and then lowered their heads. At this moment, the bowl in front of the master immediately cracked five or six pieces with a crisp sound, but the bowl in front of Hu Qingxuan didn't move at all.
Seeing this, Hu Qingxuan's face was shocked: "Senior Brother Yang, look at this ......" When the master heard this, he turned his head to look at the bowl in front of Hu Qingxuan, and hurriedly pinched his sword finger and pointed it down in the air, and the bowl immediately cracked as far as the sword finger reached, so Hu Qingxuan took a long breath of relief, but then asked worriedly, "Senior Brother Yang, I don't know what the situation of the people inside is?" ”
The master frowned, sighed lightly, and said, "Your bowl is Hu Laohun's wife, and if the bowl is not broken, it means that the calamity will not be eliminated, and I am afraid that my life will be worried...... However, just forcibly broke the bowl, I only hope that she can survive this catastrophe, if she can't survive, I'm afraid that ......" The master didn't finish his words, but the meaning of the words was already understood by everyone present. The three brothers immediately rushed into the inner room shouting and crying.
Hu Zhishu also sighed deeply, turned around and walked in. Master and Hu Qingxuan both waved their sleeves and wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were not very good-looking. Luo Xinghai hurriedly glanced at me and motioned for me to help the master into the room to rest, but as soon as the master sat down, Hu Zhishu walked out of the inner room with a bitter face, and the master looked at Hu Zhishu's face and hurriedly asked, "Are you awake?" ”
"Lao Hun woke up slowly, but my younger brother and sister haven't woken ......up yet," Hu Zhishu sighed again after speaking, turned around and sat down. Mr. Yang, you said that my younger siblings won't really be able to get through it......"
The master didn't speak, but looked up at the sky outside, and at this moment, the eastern sky was gradually brightening, and it would not be long before the sky was completely bright. After a long time, the master slowly withdrew his gaze and whispered, "If you can't wake up before the sun comes out, prepare for the future." ”
"Huh?" Hu Zhishu looked at the master in astonishment, then waved his sleeves and wiped his tears, and Hu Qingxuan blamed himself and said: "It's all because my Taoism is too low, if I have a high Taoism like Senior Brother Yang, I won't be ......."
The master frowned, and said in a cold and angry voice, "Don't talk nonsense! This has nothing to do with Taoism, you have already done what you have to do, just because the two old men have different physiques, you can't generalize. The catastrophe of their family is also caused by the fact that Zude is too thin, and I hope that they will do more good deeds and accumulate more good fortune in the future, so that they can naturally protect their children and grandchildren. Qingxuan, since you know that your deeds are insufficient and your cultivation is too poor, you must practice diligently in the future, and you must no longer be so conceited, so as not to harm others and yourself! ”
Hu Qingxuan nodded heavily and said: "Qingxuan will not forget the teachings of Senior Brother Yang, and he will never dare to be arrogant in the future, he will definitely practice rigorously and never retreat!" ”
"Wake up, wake up!"
Just as he was talking, Hu Laohun's eldest son Dog Crawler ran out with a surprised face, and before he came out, he had already spread the good news: "Uncle! Mr. Yang! My mother woke up too! It's just that...... I just woke up and fell asleep again......" The dog crawler stood at the door of the inner room, with a look of joy and sorrow on his face. When the master heard this, he and Hu Qingxuan glanced at each other, and both of them stood up and walked into the inner room.
I also hurriedly probed in curiously, but saw that the master probed the pulse of Hu Laohun's wife, and then got up and walked out, looking at the anxious look on the dog crawler's face, the master nodded and said, "Although I only woke up once, I finally saved my life." However, your mother's physique is too weak, and this cutting of the yang vein has obviously damaged a lot of her yang life, if you are filial to their second elder in the future, maybe you can let them live for a few more years. Alas, you three brothers, don't leave filial piety behind you anymore! ”
The dog crawler choked and nodded: "What Mr. Yang said is that the three of us brothers will be filial to their second elder in the future, and we will let them spend their old age in peace." Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you, Mr. Hu, thank you for saving my parents! As he spoke, the dog crawler knelt heavily to the master and Hu Qingxuan, and then his two younger brothers also knelt down together and kowtowed three times to the master and Hu Qingxuan.
While they were comforting each other, I quietly opened the eyes of heaven and looked at Hu Laohun and his wife, only to see that the three yang fires on Hu Lao's body were lit, but Hu Laohun's wife ......, "Master, I see ......."
"Shut up!"
Before I could finish speaking, Master immediately glared at me and shouted angrily, "What do you know as a child? There's no talk for you here! Hearing Master's reprimand, I was stunned for a moment, but I soon realized that Master didn't want me to say it, so he blamed me indiscriminately. But I obviously saw the yang fire of Hu Laohun's wife...... Since the master won't let me say it, then I can only hold it in my heart.
After dawn, Hu Laohun's son and daughter-in-law all gathered around, first ran out to fetch water and came back, and then made us a hearty meal. After eating, Hu Laohun was able to get out of bed with the support of his son, but his complexion was not very good-looking, but the mother of the dog crawler was still sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake. Watching this family go from being ruined to being happy, everyone was full of joy.
After some greetings, Hu Qingxuan whispered to the master: "Senior Brother Yang, we can't stay here for too long, the demon who captured Liu Xueyin's soul still doesn't know the origin, let alone where it is hidden, I think we should now find the demon's lair in one go and end it down!" Hearing Hu Qingxuan's words, Luo Xinghai and Hu Zhishu also nodded in agreement.
It's just that the master didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, but shook his head and said, "Don't forget that we came here for another purpose, and that is to find the clues of the demon. Although the lives of Hu Laohun and his wife have been saved, the source of their ghostly spirit has not been found, and I always feel that it is ...... If you find the source of the water, you will not be far from finding the whereabouts of the demon. ”
Hearing this, Hu Qingxuan hurriedly said, "Haven't we looked for this?" There is no problem with the water tank of Grandma Wei's house at all, and the water of Hu Laohun's house was obtained from Grandma Wei's house, and now Grandma Wei has broken the clue, and we have nowhere to find it! ”
Hu Zhishu also sighed for a long time: "Yes, now the source of the water can't be found, which means that this clue is broken, Mr. Yang, do you think we can start to investigate from other places?" ”
"No!" The master shook his head again, and said with a serious face: "Some clues seem to be broken, but in fact, they are not broken. But no matter what, we have to meet Grandma Wei before we make a decision. Hu Zhishu, you might as well go to Grandma Wei's house to do work again, if she can sit down calmly and talk about the reason, it can be regarded as a great help to the whole village, she must know the reason, she will not listen. ”
Hu Zhishu spread his hands with an embarrassed face, and said: "Just now I stopped by to take a look at Grandma Wei, but she blasted it out. Somehow, Grandma Wei is like a different person, completely different from before, she can't listen to anything, not only has she become extremely extreme, but she is also moody, saying that it is a big change in temperament, to say that the point is to say that there is a problem with Grandma Wei here! ”
As he spoke, Hu Zhishu pointed to his head and gestured to us, Grandma Wei may be Alzheimer's or crazy.
I thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but speak: "Hu Zhishu, hearing you say this, I remembered what happened last night, and I almost forgot about this busy work." Master, just as you left on the front foot, when Wujin and I moved Grandma Wei's water tank back, Grandma Wei came out at that time, and Wujin and I also took a look at Grandma Wei, looking at her situation, it didn't look like she was crazy, except for the sudden sight of Grandma Wei's unkempt hair in the middle of the night...... I think Grandma Wei is very kind and kind, and at that time she also took out the sugar cake made by her daughter for us to eat, five catties, don't you say? ”
When Wujin heard this, he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Uncle Yang, what Brother Ergou said is right, Brother Ergou and I both saw Grandma Wei at that time, and Grandma Wei blocked the door and asked me and Brother Ergou to eat the sugar cake made by her daughter!" ”
"What?" How do you know that the master didn't speak, but Hu Zhishu stood up and snatched the stubble: "Ergou, you say it again, Grandma Wei took out the sugar cake made by her daughter for you to eat?" After getting the confirmation from me and Wujin, Hu Zhishu's face turned pale instantly, and he hesitated for a moment before he said in a trembling voice, "But Grandma Wei's daughter died decades ago, and she is now a lonely old man in our village, where did the girl come from to make sugar cakes for her to eat?" ”
