Chapter 13: Resolving Grievances
"Wood flowers?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the mountains of wooden flowers piled up in the corner, and asked suspiciously: "Ergou, this wooden flower can't burn fire, it's not durable, just a little bit, what does your master want to do here?" ”
"Alas, I still want to know about it, but the master didn't tell me, so he asked me to carry a cloth bag, which is useful when I say it." I also shook my head at a loss.
"I'm worried that I don't have a place to dispose of this thing, Ergou, I don't have a problem if you carry all those wooden flowers away, and I want to thank you, hehe!" The old man's expression was slightly surprised, and then he said with a smile. Soon, the old man found me a huge cloth bag, and began to busily fill me with wooden flowers, and I quickly helped to fill them, and after a while, it was a large bag of wooden flowers.
I tied the caliber of the cloth bag, and carried it hard, but it was easy to carry it, this thing is really light, and it is not heavy at all because it contains a large cloth bag that is more than one person high, and it is not heavy at all, I smiled and said goodbye to the old man: "Old man, then I will go, how precious you are." ”
"Okay." The old man sent me to the gate, and just as I turned my head and walked towards the road, the old man suddenly shouted again: "Ergou, Dayan Town is in front, where are you going?" ”
"Oh, the Wild Woods!" I heard the old man's voice, replied casually, and walked briskly to the woods.
When I arrived in the wild forest, it was close to noon, in front of the old willow tree, the master was already busy with something, I took a closer look, only to see the master put the last spell on the top of the old willow tree, I circled around the old willow tree, counted carefully, it was actually pasted by the master seven or eight charms, immediately put down the wooden flower and asked, "Master, why did you put all the charms on the top of the old willow tree?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, quickly pile up the wood flowers around the old willow tree." Master said, looking up at the sky, and then said, "The hour is coming. ”
I didn't know why, so I had to do it, and soon the roots of the old willow tree were piled with wood flowers, and it only took a fire to burn the old willow tree, but why did Master have trouble with this old willow tree? Aren't you here to deal with that female ghost this time? That's weird.
"Prepare to cast a spell for the teacher immediately, burn that female ghost with heaven and earth spirit fire, Ergou, you are protecting the Dharma on the side, but if there is any interference, you can't destroy the spell casting for the teacher, you know?" Master admonished with a solemn face, and opened the package, untied the strip of cloth, and took out the mahogany sword.
"Yes!" I hurriedly and respectfully stood aside to protect the Dharma for Master.
The master took a few steps in front of the old willow tree with strange steps, and then drew a peach wood sword void, pointed directly at the old willow tree, and said in a deep voice: "The world is impermanent, grievances and grievances are added, reincarnation is reciprocated, and there is no liberation in the end, I, Yang Yuanshan, uphold the purpose of Maoshan Tantra, kill demons, and support morality, today I want to kill Er's full of resentment, and send you to the underworld to reincarnate, if you still refuse to give up, don't blame me Yang Yuanshan will scatter your soul and return to heaven!" ”
The peachwood sword instantly pierced a spell, and the master took a step back suddenly, pinched the sword finger with his left hand, and chanted the words in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are on fire, the sun and the moon are on fire...... I serve the fire to be the true king...... Imperial order! ”
"Ahh
Just as Master's incantation was recited, I suddenly heard a piercing scream from under the old willow tree...... It was the voice of the female ghost's painful wail...... "The Taoist has spared his life...... I am a hard-working girl, but I have no choice but to go into the fire pit, and now it is like this, no matter how difficult it is to clear the calamity, the Taoist chief has pity on me, just let me go...... I have already tasted the pain of burning at the stake, and if I burn my soul with fire again, I will suffer even more, woo woo woo ......"
Hearing the sad cry of the female ghost, I couldn't help but feel compassion and looked at the master anxiously, but the master was resolute and unmoved, as long as the peach wood sword in his hand was simply slashed, the spell on the tip of the sword would turn into a fire, and the old willow tree would be completely turned into ashes......
I finally knew why Master asked me to bring the wood flowers, but ...... But if you want to burn the old willow tree, you can use something else, why you have to use wood flowers, I still don't understand this.
"Dust to dust, dust to earth, you were a resentful soul decades ago, you should have gone down to the underworld to accept the judgment of Yin Si a long time ago, whether you are guilty or wrong, you have your own conclusion, but you are greedy for the world and harm the people, I Yang Yuanshan can't leave you today!" The master scolded coldly, and with a movement of his fingers, the charm suddenly rose into white smoke, followed by a wisp of flames and rushed into the wood flower.
"Boom" a fire, straight up, surrounded the old willow tree, after a while, I heard a "crackling" sound from the branches of the old willow tree, the broken place, unexpectedly ...... There was a trace of blood flowing, I was stunned!
"Ahh
Another heart-rending scream, coming from the mouth of the female ghost, heard in people's ears, trembled in people's hearts, I couldn't help but want to intercede for the female ghost, begging the master to let it go, but the master is casting spells now, and I don't dare to disturb the master, I know what the master has determined, and no one can change it in the slightest.
"Sir, mercy! Sir's subordinates are merciful...... "Suddenly, the voice of the old man in the coffin shop came from the wild woods, I turned my head in shock, sure enough, it was him, I didn't expect him to follow, seeing the raging fire in front of him, he trembled and ran over, but the master also turned around and watched the arrival of the old man.
"Old man, ...... you," Master asked in surprise.
"Sir, I beg your mercy...... There, that's my biological mother...... Woo woo woo ...... "The old man was already in tears, and after speaking, he knelt down in front of the old willow tree and cried loudly: "Mother, children are not filial, until today, I came to my mother's grave to kneel and worship filial piety, and my mother ......."
"Are you...... Are you recruiting a brother? Recruit ...... Child, you didn't blame your mother for leaving you alone, woo woo...... Yes! Oh, my God! Why is my house like this?! Why?! Under the old willow tree, the voice of resentment became weaker and weaker, and after hearing the voice of the old man Wang Zhaodi, he suddenly collapsed and cried bitterly.
"Mother...... It's not that the child doesn't want to come, but ...... But children can't stand the pain of separation...... For many days and nights, the child was in the coffin shop in the distance, looking at the direction of his parents' grave and crying secretly, the child wanted to see his mother again, and he wanted to ...... I would love to see my brother again...... Woo woo woo ...... "The old man gradually lay on the ground weakly, crying hysterically.
Seeing this scene, I am not wood, but also moved to tears can not stop flowing, at this moment, I understand why the master does not use anything else, but to use the wood flowers in the old man's shop as a fire lead, it turns out that the master deliberately asked me to bring the old man here, will be buried in the heart of the grievances for decades, here, at this moment, all made a break, but unfortunately I only now understand the master's good intentions.
"Child, it's all my mother's fault, my mother didn't raise you, I didn't watch you grow up a little bit, my mother is sorry for you, my mother is sorry for you...... Woowoo...... Dao Chief, I know that I am wrong...... I knew I was wrong...... Burn me, let all the pain be blamed on me, this debt of sin, is ...... It's on me...... Let's wrap it up......," the female ghost's voice was intermittent, and it was obvious that she couldn't hold it anymore.
"Mother!" The old man stretched out his hand and cried, and then begged the master, "Sir...... I beg you to be merciful, and let my mother go, she has been a lonely ghost for decades, and now she has to burn her again with fire, so unfair, too unfair...... I beg you, sir! ”
"No, let my mother die again, maybe only in this way can you eliminate your mother's debt to you, child, it's all your mother who is sorry for you...... It's all mothers...... It's all my mother's fault......"
When the last echo wafted through the air, the female ghost seemed to have been completely burned to death once, and I secretly wondered what would become of the ghost if he died again. But ghosts are already ghosts, how can they die if they die again? Master is really ruthless.
"Master! Since the apprenticeship to the present, the apprentice has not begged you for anything, this time the apprentice begs you, let go of that female ghost, even for the sake of the old man, he is so old, he has experienced decades of ups and downs, and it is already full of vicissitudes, why bother to let him watch his mother burned to death for the second time, Master, please be merciful to your subordinates......" I choked and shook my master's leg vigorously.
"Two dogs! Don't make a mistake! Master glared at me, then at the old man who was lying on the ground crying and almost collapsed, and sighed deeply: "Alas! It is the most difficult to give up the relationship between mother and son, the accumulation of grievances and grievances cannot be seen through, and the blessing of life is immeasurable! ”
"Puff ......"
The raging fire soon brought down the old willow tree, and the whole body and branches of the tree gradually turned to ashes.
"Child, my mother is going to be reincarnated and continue to repay the sins of the past life, child, the relationship between mother and child in our life is over, you take care of it......"
A cloud of pure white smoke slowly rose from the root of the old willow tree, and gradually dissipated into the air with echoing words, and I raised my head sharply and exclaimed in astonishment, "Master! The female ghost did not have a ghost, it went to reincarnate! ”
"When did the teacher say that it was going to be gone?" Master gave me an angry look, turned around and put away the peachwood sword, and strode away.
"Master! Wait for me ......"
In the distance, under the old willow tree, the old man still knelt down in front of a piece of ashes, crying something, I and the master have gone away, no matter what, I am happy for them, until today, it can be regarded as a complete resolution of decades of old feuds, old man, you must take care, you must live well, I silently pray for the old man in my heart......
