Master and I rested in Fushan Town for three days. During these three days, we didn't just stay in the house and did nothing. I went up to Fudu Mountain again with my master. The master said to do a ritual for the people who died there, so that their souls could rest in peace.
Entering Fudu Mountain again, apart from still feeling cold, there is no feeling of fear. Master said that it was because the grievances were dissipated, so it would not give people a gloomy feeling.
Walking through the roads I have experienced, in my teenage years, this is like a kind of growth, and people understand a lot of things unconsciously.
Everyone has to face life and death, and the period from birth to death is a kind of proof that you are alive. And I saw the process of some people from birth to death, and finally realized the significance of life and death.
"Little Hibiscus, there is nothing difficult about Chaodu's scriptures. The main thing is to look at the heart of the person who recites the scriptures. The so-called eminent monks and old Taoists have profound mana, but they don't mean much to Chaodu. Buddhist scriptures are obscure and difficult. Reading it is a bit convoluted, but our Taoist scriptures on saving the dead are simpler and more straightforward.
The salvation of the scriptures is the last sacrifice to the dead. Whether you can persuade these souls to return depends on your heart. Only with a heart of great kindness can the dead souls feel sincerity.
Come here, read along with me, these are the basic skills of learning Taoism. "
I nodded, stood behind the master, imitated the master's appearance, put one hand between my nose, closed my eyes, settled my mind, and got rid of all distracting thoughts.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, Taoism is boundless. Life and death are not bitter, but life is bitter. Life and death are not thought of, destiny is natural. Soul returns to the underworld, reincarnation..."
"Yuanshi Tianzun, Taoism is boundless. Life and death are not bitter, but life is bitter. Life and death are not thought of, destiny is natural. Soul returns to the underworld, reincarnation..."
I read the scriptures with Master, and I felt that there were some invisible things, as if walking past me, leading to a dark road, an endless road. They walked in the dark, and then slowly disappeared.
After reading the scriptures, I opened my eyes, and there was nothing around me. But I feel that the air is exceptionally fresh, without the smell of blood and killing, and without any hatred or resentment.
When a person dies, everything will transcend nature, and he can go to reincarnation with peace of mind, and this life journey can be considered complete. On the contrary, if one has done many evil deeds, even after death, there may not be a chance of reincarnation. Even if his life goes smoothly, even if he dies peacefully, he cannot escape the punishment of Lord Hades.
At this point, I also understand a sentence: people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Everything is lawful.
The matter of Taiping Treasure did not alarm anyone, and this matter was handled in a very secretive manner. The day before Master and I came to the mountain, Chen Laosan led people to seal off the cave in Fudu Mountain. In addition, he led people to lift out more than a dozen coffins inside and burned them. As for the belladonna, they were all carefully eradicated.
When Master and I went, Chen Laosan and others were still busy finishing work.
After the transcendence, I walked to the coffin with the same pattern as the blood soul jade on my neck, touched the pattern on it, and felt very puzzled.
Master patted me on the shoulder, "What's wrong? Why are you looking so engrossed?"
I pointed to the pattern on the coffin and asked, "Master, why is this thing the same as the pattern on the Blood Soul Jade? Is there any connection between them?"
Master also reached out and touched the coffin, with a trace of sadness on his face. "Maybe this is left by your master! The blood soul jade I gave you is only the small wooden plaque inside, and the white jade pendant was taken away by my master. When he left, he told me that if he If you don't come back within a few days, then the time limit is approaching.
Your master left behind a kit, let me open it ten years later.
I waited for ten years, but there was no news from Master. In desperation, I opened the kit, and inside were the small wooden sign and a map.
It was only after I arrived at Fudu Mountain with Black Eagle that I realized that the map my master gave me was here. I thought that this coffin was also carved by Master, maybe he had been here earlier. "
"Master has been here a long time ago?" I still feel a little puzzled, why didn't the master directly give the things to the master, but went through many twists and turns, and took pains to hide it in such a place
If it is really the master who has some difficulties and has to hide here, then the master should also know the things under the coffin. It can't be that the master planted belladonna on purpose to poison the master!
As soon as I was about to ask Master, Chen Laosan called Master over there.
"Master Sun, take a look, what is this?"
The master held a notebook with a cowhide cover in Chen Laosan's hand. It was written in Japanese, and Chen Laosan couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time.
The master took a few glances, and frowned and thought for a long time.
"This thing was left by Ono Jiro. At that time, everyone was too nervous and it was very dark inside, so I didn't notice it. It was written on it that Ono Jiro recorded the process of finding the Taiping treasure. It mentioned a person, which was very suspicious. .”
Chen Laosan looked up at the densely packed Japanese and asked, "Who is it?"
Master put down the notebook in his hand, with a serious face, "Qi Lu!"
Chen Laosan's eyes widened in surprise, "Does he still have contact with the Japanese? This person seems to have disappeared from the world after the accidents of Master Chen and Master Liu one after another. Could it be that he also took the Japanese to find the Taiping Treasure? ?" Chen Laosan said, feeling more and more likely.
"By the way, when that Qilu was in the Northeast, he was very close to a middleman named Dazi. When Qilu disappeared, this Dazi made a fortune and changed his career. He used to do those things that were not seen well. For the matter, Zhao Jie can be regarded as an old acquaintance."
Master nodded, "Well, Dazi was also mentioned above. It was through Dazi that the Japanese Shaozuo got to know Qi Lu back then. It was Qi Lu who told the news about the Taiping Treasure to the Japanese Shaozuo, and then the Shaozuo gathered a team for the treasure. People and horses arrested many Taoist priests and went with tomb robbers.
But that time, Qi Lu didn't go, and Ono Jiro escaped by luck.
Over the years Jiro Ono has never given up. It was not until he met Qi Lu in Japan three years ago that he finally made up his mind to come to China to find the Taiping Treasure. He also made an agreement with Qi Lu that once he found the Taiping Treasure, he would give Qi Lu 10% of it. "
Chen Laosan stared at the unintelligible Japanese, and said angrily, "These Japanese are really crazy about treasures. But now that Ono Jiro is dead, is our clue broken again?"
"Not necessarily. Jiro Ono wanted to monopolize the treasure and didn't want to distribute it to Qi Lu, so he acted ahead of time. Originally, he and Qi Lu had agreed to do it after the new year, and the two agreed to meet in the city! Now there is In a few days, we should have time to go back."
"That's great. As long as we find Qi Lu, the matter of Master Chen and Master Liu will be cleared up. We can follow the clues to find that mysterious organization!"
"It's not certain whether we can find someone, let alone that mysterious organization." Master didn't intend to throw cold water on it, just because that organization was too cunning. For so long, he hadn't figured out the details of this organization, no Maybe if you catch Qilu, you can take over this organization in one go.
Since this organization is so powerful, the man in black robe alone is very difficult to deal with. What Master said made more sense. How could we catch that organization so easily!
Two days after returning to the city, the witch's condition was very serious, and she was transferred to the capital that night. The huge courtyard is empty of people.
Xiao Mi sat alone under the plane tree in the yard, looking very lonely.
I was by her side, and I wanted to comfort her, but I didn't expect the little girl to hold my arm and burst into tears. I sighed softly, everyone has to go through some things to grow up, but this time, Xiao Mi has experienced pain, the death of her parents, and the illness of her aunt, maybe she shouldn't be able to bear it at her age.
Just like what Master said, our lineage has always had a lot of troubles.
And this growth left too heavy scars in Xiao Mi's childhood.
