Chapter 12 Zhou Aniu

Li Xuan can be very sure that the ghost shop in Nan Kezi's mouth is the Taiping Inn where he rescued Zhou Shuning.

Although several months have passed, Li Xuandu still clearly remembers that in the boxy inn, there is a two-story small building, a high pole in front of the building, and a large flag with tattered edges is hung on it, waving in the wind, and the flag is embroidered with four big characters: Taiping Inn.

No wonder a young man named Shen Changsheng dragged a coffin out of the backyard, it turned out that there was a precedent for a long time.

In this way, this inn is really not simple, especially the shopkeeper couple, it is not simple.

It's just that I don't know what the relationship between the two of them and the Taiping Sect is, and if they are from the Taiping Sect, what their status is in the Taiping Sect.

After the two walked for about two hours, the sky was already bright, Li Xuandu and Nan Kezi stopped on an unnamed mountain, looking into the distance, and there was cooking smoke rising due west at the end of the line of sight.

Nan Kezi was a little surprised: "In the early years, Beibi Mountain, a treasure land of feng shui, was mostly the courtyard of the emperor and the powerful from all walks of life, but now the feng shui of Beibi Mountain has changed greatly, yin qi is full of ghosts, how can anyone still live here?"

Li Xuandu said: "In fact, it is not surprising, the so-called harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, now the imperial treasury is empty, and the army is used, so it is natural to levy a large tax, coupled with years of war, rogue bandits and bandits are everywhere, this group of ghosts is full of ghosts, but it has become a quiet place outside the world that no one intrudes, some people who can't survive, would rather run to this mountain to be with ghosts, than with people outside, it can be seen that the troubled times are fiercer than ghosts." ”

Nan Kezi shook his head and sighed, "When Emperor Xian and Emperor Sejong were in power, although the people lived very hard, they were not so bad that they couldn't survive, and they could barely be regarded as the word 'Taiping', especially when Emperor Xian, the officials ruled Qingming, the treasury was full, and General Qin Xiang was just around the corner to recover Qin and Liangzhou, but in just a few years, it has become such a situation, it is really ...... It's ......."

In the end, Nan Kezi just let out a long sigh and had nothing to say.

The two continued to walk, and after going down the mountain, they walked a short distance, and found a person lying on the side of the mountain road.

Li Xuandu also stopped, and Nan Kezi said in a deep voice: "There is a faint evil qi on this person's body, I'm afraid it's a little strange." ”

While speaking, Nan Kezi had already stepped forward and flipped the man over, looking at his clothes and calluses on his fingers, it should be ordinary people, and then looking at his face, I saw that his face and neck were full of black sores, and he couldn't distinguish his original appearance.

Nan Kezi's face was a little solemn, pointed to the thick sores on this person's face, and said: "There are clouds in the Taiyi Divine Illumination Sutra: 'The yellow light and purple qi on the right side of the forehead are born, and the thirty-three lines are prosperous. Thirty-four has a bright glow, and thirty-five years old is the sun. Thirty-six will be too yin, and the middle yang will be thirty-seven. The bardo is thirty-eight lords, and the young yang year is thirty-nine. This person should be thirty-nine years old, and at this time the black sores have been born in his Shaoyang and Shaoyin positions, indicating that the evil qi has penetrated into the bones, although this person still has a breath now, but he is also terminally ill, and he is destined to live not tomorrow. ”

Li Xuandu frowned and said, "What kind of evil qi is this?"

Nan Kezi said: "If Poor Dao is not mistaken, this should be a corpse." In ancient times, it was easy to find the dragon's acupoint, and it was difficult to find the dragon's acupoint, and the "Burial Sutra" Yiyun searched for the dragon for three years and ten years, and its reason was safe. Cover the dragon is an unfinished game, you can choose at will, and the point point is a completed game. Speaking of point points, there are so many kinds of unlucky places, namely: Go to the water, Sword Spine Dragon, Concave Wind Cave, Wushu Mountain, Mingtang Fall, Dragon and Tiger Fly. In addition, there is a more evil place, known as the corpse raising place, the Tibetan wind gathers evil, if the person is buried here, not only the soul can not die, but also the corpse will be immortal and incorruptible, after a certain period of time, it will turn into a zombie, eat the family, and will be related to their own blood before they are killed, all the kills can stop, before the zombie is born, if someone inadvertently comes here, infected by the evil qi in it, it will appear on the surface, just like the black sores on the face. ”

Speaking of this, Nan Kezi suddenly reacted and looked at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu said in a deep voice: "Taiyin corpse." ”

Nan Kezi smiled bitterly: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." The two of us have decided to leave this Beibi Mountain for the time being, but we didn't expect to find traces of Taiyin's corpse on the way back, and it seems that God will not let us leave Beibi Mountain. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "Is this person still saved?"

Nan Kezi stroked his beard and said quite conceitedly: "If it is replaced by someone else, it will definitely be helpless, but there is a poor way here, I dare not say that I can help him remove the residual poison of evil qi in his body, and for the time being, it can still be done to extend his life for a day or two." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Then ask the Taoist chief to come to the rescue, and we can ask about it." ”

Nan Kezi nodded, and took out a jade bottle and a vermilion gourd from the blanket on his body.

This seemingly inconspicuous blanket is actually a Sumeru treasure, but compared to Li Xuandu's flowing beads, it is easier to hide people's eyes.

Then I saw Nan Kezi pour out a vermilion pill from the jade bottle, reached out and pinched the person's mouth, pried open his teeth, and stuffed the pill into it, and then fed some water with the vermilion gourd, and pushed it on his chest a few times, so that the pill could be swallowed smoothly.

After a few moments, the man groaned softly and slowly woke up.

Nan Kezi put on a look of an old immortal who was a master of the world, and said: "Poor Dao is a Taiqing Mountain Fangshi, this time he went to Beibi Mountain to collect medicine, and when you fainted on the side of the road, he came to the rescue, seeing that you were angry and entered the body, Yintang turned black, and it was not long, I don't know what happened?"

Nan Kezi has learned a lot of things, in addition to not being good at fighting with people, whether it is alchemy, dragon hunting, or public opinion, fortune-telling, all have a lot of experience, in the early years, also did the roadside stall fortune-telling work for people, at this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, whether it was demeanor or tone, he was quite iron-clad and half-immortal, extremely bluffing.

Sure enough, when this person heard this, he immediately believed nine out of nine, knelt up with his body bold, knocked his head on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "You are really a living immortal, please ask the old immortal to save me...... Ask the old fairy for help...... I kowtow to the old fairy...... Kowtow to the old fairy......"

The man burst into tears, screaming and slamming his head to the ground, but in a moment, the head had already been knocked on the ground a dozen times, banging, and the flesh and blood on his forehead were blurred.

Nan Kezi frowned, waved his sleeves slightly, and helped the person up with a gust of breeze, and said indifferently: "Since you want to live, listen to the poor Tao, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, at least there is no worry about life, if you hide it, even the poor Tao will not be able to save you, and after death, you will become a lonely soul and a wild ghost, and you will never be able to live forever." ”

This statement was half-true, which made the person more and more convinced. Why is Buddhism more acceptable to the people than Taoism? Because Buddhism seeks the next life, and Taoism seeks this life, for ordinary people, this life is already so miserable, what joy is eternal life? Only those powerful people who have fulfilled the joy of life will seek eternal life, and ordinary people can only hope for the next life, and accumulate more merit in this life, so that the next life can be better. Therefore, the powerful and the ministers mostly believe in Taoism, while the small rich families and ordinary people believe in Buddhism more.

Now Nan Kezi says that he may not have an afterlife, how can he not be afraid? There is no hope in this life, and if there is no hope in the next life, then what is the meaning of living? Isn't it just a thought to live a life?

Nan Kezi asked, "What is your surname, and who is you?"

This person immediately replied: "Don't dare to deceive the old fairy, the villain's surname is Zhou, his name is Zhou Aniu, he is a person from Zhoujia Village ten miles away from here, our village was in Wude for ten years, because he wanted to avoid the disaster of war, so his family moved here, and it has been seven years. ”

Nan Kezi touched his goatee and asked, "Why did you faint on the side of the road?"

Zhou Aniu's face suddenly showed hesitation.

Nan Kezi's eyes sharpened, "Tell me the truth! If you dare to say half a lie, you will bear the consequences!"

"Don't dare to deceive the old immortals, don't dare to deceive the old immortals. Zhou Aniu hurriedly said: "The villain once found a big tomb in the mountains. ”
