Chapter 7: End-of-Life Will
Lobsang saw me chattering for a while with a compass, and then pinched and muttered to himself, asking me why I didn't go in. Is it really haunted?
This dragon-slaying land can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences,
"It's okay, I'll just take a look at the feng shui here." I said casually.
Luoxia Dam is quite large, and at a glance, there are probably hundreds of households.
Although it was noon, the doors of every house were closed, and many of them had white lanterns hanging at their doors.
The whole village was eerily quiet, except for some of the local dogs in the courtyard barking at me, there was no other sound.
Walking deeper into the village, this strange feeling became more and more intense, and some people who were sitting in the courtyard were sitting in the courtyard, but when they saw me, they hurriedly moved their chairs and closed the door as if they had seen a plague god.
I went up and asked them what was wrong?
But as soon as I approached the courtyard, the people inside were in the house with a local accent, and drove me away like a plague.
I tried asking a few more households,
They either drove us away or ignored us behind closed doors.
I had no choice but to keep walking.
At this moment, a broken Mandarin came from behind him.
"You two, are you here for a tour?"
Turning our heads, a big man with a strong body, dark skin, and an honest face really walked towards us.
I thought to myself, can anyone still come to this kind of backcountry?
Looking at the face of the big man, I knew that this person was easy to get along with, and I opened my mouth to explain my intention to him.
Dahan also barely understood my words, and spoke non-standard Mandarin and told me that Zhang Shanfeng was at his house.
I thought to myself, what a coincidence. Following behind Dahan, I wanted to ask Dahan why the people in this village saw me and followed the plague god.
However, this man walked really fast, and I barely managed to keep up with it at a trot, so I never had a chance to ask.
He followed the big man for a few more minutes and walked deeper into the village, until he stopped in front of a bungalow.
There were two lanterns hanging in front of the bungalow, the courtyard door was open, and a coffin was placed in the courtyard directly facing north and south.
"Mr. Zhang, your friend is here." Approaching the courtyard, the big man shouted.
After a while, a man came out of the room.
The person who came was Zhang Shanfeng, and I was still a little surprised to see his appearance.
Over the past year, he has changed quite a bit, he has grown long hair, a beard, and looks thinner than he did a year ago.
With a height of 1.8 meters, the weight may not be 100 catties, and the whole person presents a very sick feeling.
Zhang Shanfeng nodded slightly at the big man and said, "Brother Zhuang, thank you." ”
The big man waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"How did you lose so much weight?" I said to Zhang Shanfeng with some surprise.
Zhang Shanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, it's an old problem." Godmother is waiting for you inside. ”
As he spoke, he dragged me in.
As I passed the coffin in the courtyard, I bowed slightly.
A photo at the head of the coffin is a young man who looks very similar to the big man just now, and it should be the brother of the big man.
Walking into the back room, the room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Widow Zhang was lying on the hospital bed, her face was bloodless, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she looked like she was dying.
Zhang Shanfeng walked to Widow Zhang's bedside, slowly squatted down, and whispered beside Widow Zhang, "Godmother, Yi Chuan, he's here." ”
Widow Zhang opened her eyes with great difficulty.
I squatted on the side of the bed and said, "Auntie, I'm late." ”
She raised her hand slightly, and a faint sound came out of her mouth.
"Xiaoshan, you... You go out for a while, I have something to talk to Ogawa. ”
Zhang Shanfeng nodded, glanced at Luosang Sang, and motioned for her to go out with her.
This made the widow stretch out her hand very weakly, and I quickly took her hand.
Her hands were cold and didn't look like a living person at all, and she subconsciously put her fingers on her pulse, which was very weak.
"Aunt Zhang, where are you hurt? Why don't you go out and get treated? What are you doing here? I'll take you to the hospital with the mountain breeze. I asked nervously.
She smiled wryly and waved her hand, then said very slowly, "This... It's all fate, I have five disadvantages and three deficiencies in this life, three of the five evils, and two of the three shortcomings. Being able to see you and Xiaoshan before dying is also a good end. ”
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you hurt so badly? ”
"It's fate. Xiaochuan, don't listen to me yet. I'm running out of time," said Widow Zhang, with great difficulty.
I nodded vigorously, but I didn't dare to interject.
"Your master and I came here with the intention of helping you continue your life, and it has already become... However, destiny is hard to disobey... Although it gave you a new life, it made such a big cause and effect. I asked you to come because I wanted you to help the people of Luoxiaba get through this difficult time no matter what, otherwise if karma is repaid on you here, the efforts made by me and your master will be in vain. ”
"Survival? What life can I give me well? And what happened to the people in Luoxia Dam? I asked Widow Zhang with confusion.
Widow Zhang gasped for a while before saying, "I don't know anything about you, I only know that you have a fate." Your master has been trying to find a way to help you solve this calamity all these years, and it took a lot of effort to find this side... As for... As for the people of Luoxiaba... They are innocent..."
Before Widow Zhang could finish speaking, she coughed violently, and finally coughed up blood directly.
I hurriedly told her not to say anything yet.
She waved her hand and said, "It's too late, I'm running out of time." There are a few things, you must keep in mind, the first side of the matter is because of you, so you have to find a way to solve it, otherwise so many human retribution will be on you, and what we have done will be in vain. ”
"Second, go to your master. Your master said that you can find him by using the method of piercing the mountain and the seventy-two dragons. If you can't find your master, let Shanfeng take you to find the madman. Get out of here... Maybe he can save your life. ”
"Third, help me take care of the mountain breeze. Shan Feng is a hard-working child, and I probably shouldn't have let him into this business in the first place... You are not human, if you can survive this... If you have the ability in the future, help him change the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and let him not suffer the hardships I have suffered. ”
I nodded my head again and again, and then asked him how they managed to keep me alive.
It's just that Widow Zhang didn't answer me, and she just swallowed her breath...
"Aunt Zhang!" I broke down and cried...
I came to Hanjiang when I was nine years old, and I was taken care of by Widow Zhang since I was a child, and in a way, she and my mother are the same.
Widow Zhang's life was also very bitter, her husband died in her stomach on the day of marriage, and her in-laws shouted that she wanted to bury her husband.
The mother-in-law's family locked him in a coffin and buried him alive, but fortunately, her mother's family secretly dug her out in the middle of the night. However, the power of the in-laws' family was great, and the mother's family did not dare to offend, so they had to let Widow Zhang leave her hometown.
In those days, a rural woman, who had never read a book, left her homeland.
After a few months, she was about to starve to death on the side of the road, and was rescued by an old lady. The old lady is a yin woman, and Widow Zhang ate this bowl of rice in order to have something to eat, and followed the old lady to learn this craft.
The operation of this world has its own laws, and those who spy on the heavens to change the rules of things will be punished by heaven. The development of things has its own cause and effect, and forcibly interfering to change cause and effect will invite unwarranted disasters, and whether it is an external Heavenly Master or an internal Heavenly Master, from a certain point of view, they are meddling in other people's cause and effect, so once they meddle in other people's cause and effect, they will make five evils and three shortcomings.
The so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies refer to a numerology, and the so-called five disadvantages are nothing more than "widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability." ”。 To put it bluntly, the three deficiencies are "wealth, life, and power".
Widow Zhang committed the five evils of widowhood and loneliness, and the three shortages also committed life and power. I also asked Master what five disadvantages I would commit. Master told me that it would only appear after I had seen things to others and meddled in other people's causes and effects.
It's just that there is really more retribution on Widow Zhang, if Zhang Shanfeng is like her, he needs to bear these five disadvantages and three shortcomings, it will be too miserable.
In fact, since the Mid-Levels Residence, I vaguely feel that the trajectory of my fate has also quietly changed, I don't know if I have also committed five disadvantages and three shortcomings...
