"Master Li, this is a blessed place. Look, it's low in the middle and high on the four sides. It looks like a basin. What basin? A cornucopia!" "Thirty years? No, no need! As long as twenty years, in another twenty years, you Li family will be rich and noble, and live a long life. Those who study will become famous and become high officials, and those who do business will become rich and famous all over the world. Practice martial arts? Hey, if you practice boxing and kicking these days, you will inevitably get into trouble. When you get rich, why can't you invite some master to come and visit your home? Why bother practicing martial arts on your own? " "Money? I don't want money. I, God Kui, have spent my whole life practicing Feng Shui and Kanyu, not just to get rich. Money is just something external to me. It is very simple for you to thank me. I only have one wish, and I ask you to grant it. I did a fortune telling for myself a few days ago and found that I have very little life left. The deadline is approaching, and it will only be about a month at the latest. This is a destiny that cannot be violated by manpower. The King of Hell wants you to watch it three times. Death, how can one be left alive until the fifth hour?
My wish is also very simple, that is, after my death, please bury me in the southeast corner of the village, on that high ground. No monument or grave mound will be erected. No sacrifices will be made during festivals. I will just be buried there. There was nothing, just a cat or dog buried. By the way, I have prepared the coffin, just the willow coffin in my room. Remember to choose a rainy day and bury it upside down. If the ancestors are buried upside down, the descendants must be great. I have already calculated the time. Today, one month from now, there will be rain. I will bury him as soon as possible while the rain is at its strongest. No ceremony is needed. Just seize the time and bury him.
If this is the case, my life can be regarded as complete and I have become an immortal. After I become an immortal, I will definitely bless the Li family with smooth sailing and long-lasting prosperity. This is what I have made an appointment with you. Mr. Li, you are a good man. You have been kind to me, and I will have to repay you even if I die. , life and death! Worlds! " Following a faint murmur, Yin Xiu opened her eyes and found that the surrounding environment had changed. At this time, it was raining heavily, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning appeared and disappeared in the clouds, like chains and roaring dragons, which made those who watched panic. In such extreme weather, there was still a funeral procession climbing up a high slope despite the rain. In fact, it is more like transporting something than a funeral. Because there were no ceremonial guards, no drummers or players, only a few coolies and a few people holding umbrellas. One of them was very well-dressed, with several jade rings on his hands and a gold necklace around his thick neck. He didn't even need to hold an umbrella himself. A servant held one for him. He just held a snuff bottle in his hand. After walking for a while, he poured the powder on the tiger's mouth and wiped it into his nose to ward off the cold. After digging a hole with difficulty in the rain, both the coolies and the spectators were made cold and tired by the rain. Not caring about the ceremony, these people turned the coffin upside down, and after hurriedly burying it, they started pouring soil into the pit mixed with mud and water until the pit was filled, without even making a symbolic bow. Leave in a hurry. "Look, I have worked hard all my life and thought about others all my life, and in the end I ended up like this. Such randomness is not worth a penny." A sigh came from behind Yin Xiu's ears. "It's really like burying a dog." Yin Xiu turned around, and saw a man with a white face and a beardless face standing next to him, with an angry face. Although this man's face looked young, his body looked old-fashioned, very much like the man Xue An said he saw in his dream. "Are you Mr. Kui?" The man did not admit or deny, he was just talking to himself. "Actually, he is not an old man. He is just a nouveau riche who relies on the land owned by his ancestors to show off his power. So what about the virtues accumulated by his ancestors? It's not that he can't be rich for more than three generations. No, their big house was destroyed by the villagers in less than three generations. You have a brick, and I have moved it with a door.
Nowadays, some paved roads in the village still use their own stone steps. " As he said this, he seemed to feel quite proud and laughed to himself again. "Is it funny?" Yin Xiu asked. "Isn't it funny?" He asked back: "Killing people and setting fire to gold belts, building bridges and repairing roads but no remains. Things in the world have always been so cruel and bizarre, and they have nothing to do with fairness. Do you think he is a good person? With just one word, he asked others to move the ancestral grave to make room for his father. His father was a short-lived ghost with a bad fate, and he would bring endless disasters if he was buried. According to me, it is better to be cremated on the spot, so as not to turn into a zombie in the future and harm others and yourself. " "But Mr. Li didn't do what you said, right?" "Of course he didn't, because I didn't even mention it." He chuckled, "Why should I mention this to him? I will only make myself unhappy. And I am also happy to see that old bastard turn into a zombie and be infamy for eternity." "I think it's more than just that." Yin Xiu said. "what are you saying?" "do not understand?" Yin Xiu glanced at him, "I mean, I just occupied your family's ancestral graves, but I didn't dig up your ancestral graves. Even if it doesn't make sense, I can see that you are not the kind of person who cares about these things. .” "You think you know me well?" He sneered, rather disdainfully. "When we first met, if I said I knew you very well, wouldn't I be lying to you? However, I know how to read faces. As soon as I saw your face, three white eyes, tall roots, and thin and flat lips, I knew that you were a lover, and a very affectionate person, so I guess, in fact, there is something about the cemetery. Small or small, big or not. The reason why you hate Xiaoli Village is because Mr. Li stole your woman, and you couldn't do anything about it, so you used your best Feng Shui to plot against him. Not only Mr. Li's family, but also the entire Li family You have plotted all the clan together. A man is capable of stretching and bending, but the thing about a woman being robbed is the most intolerable. " Listening to Yin Xiu's analysis, the man paused with a painful expression, and then suddenly grinned and said: "You don't know how to read faces at all. If you are really a Feng Shui master, you have to tell me that things will turn around. It is destined by heaven. However, you are not a Feng Shui master, and you are more accurate than a Feng Shui master, so who are you? " "Before asking others, it is common sense to tell your name first, right?" "Okay, okay, I'm rude." The man stopped laughing and said, "I, Kui Qingshan, was a Feng Shui master of the Tsing Yi sect during my lifetime, and now I own a piece of land in Xiaoli Village." "land?" "how?" Kui Qingshan turned around, "It doesn't look like it?"
"If you pretend to be a god, you will be struck by lightning." Yin Xiu said seriously. "Okay, actually I am not a piece of land, and the land does not grow like me. In fact, I am already an immortal." Kui Qingshan said seriously. Although it was too unbelievable, Yin Xiu had no doubts. Being able to set up such a big situation here in the state of soul, so that people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get out even if they come, what else can it be but a god?
He is said to be a fairy, but in fact Kui Qingshan should be a ghost fairy. Gods, heaven, earth, humans and ghosts, ghosts and immortals are the lowest among the five kinds of immortals. Even in the eyes of some Taoist monks, this category is not considered an immortal at all. Generally speaking, to become a ghost immortal, you have to go through the step of fighting with soldiers. However, adding swords to oneself is an ominous call. Therefore, only those who follow the evil path and do not correct the law will eventually become a ghost immortal. Although for Taoists, cultivating to become a ghost immortal means that it is difficult to take another step forward and miss the chance to truly rank among the immortals in myths and legends. However, ghosts and immortals are also immortals. Isn’t the end point of how many people practice Taoism “becoming an immortal”?
Therefore, Yin Xiu's attitude towards Kui Qingshan couldn't help but become less contemptuous and playful. "So, who are you?" Kui Qingshan asked. "Not a god, not a saint, just an ordinary person passing by." "Ordinary people passing by? If you were an ordinary person, you would be dead now, not in a state of soul separation. At this moment, you are no different from those Taoists who can travel thousands of miles while their body is still in the same place. This is not a skill that ordinary people can have. " Kui Qingshan circled Yin Xiu, looking at him constantly. "Let me guess, someone asked you to deal with me?" "There is no such person," Yin Xiu smiled, "My price is very high, and ordinary people can't afford it. Besides, you are already an immortal, do you still need to guess and deduce anything?" "Omniscient but not omnipotent is a kind of pain, and omniscient and omnipotent is a kind of emptiness." The gods of Kuiqing Mountain are nagging. "I am just a ghost fairy and cannot be omniscient, so I have to ask you about the purpose of coming here." "It's really just passing by." Yin Xiu scratched his head, "How about we stop worrying about the purpose of my coming here and let's talk about you?" "Me? What do I have to talk about?" Kui Qingshan turned around and said, "I have become an immortal, and the secular world has no meaning to me." "Really? Doesn't a ghost immortal with incomplete divine power and weak roots really need to explore the meaning?" Yin Xiu asked. Hearing what Yin Xiu said, Kui Qingshan's originally relaxed expression turned serious, and his eyes stared straight at Yin Xiu. "How much do you know about me?" Kui Qingshan said seriously: "You know everything from my emotional entanglements during my lifetime to my instability. Who are you?" "As I said, I'm just an ordinary person. And as you said, I'm not a fortune teller. I can't guess." "Then what are you doing?" "Intuition!" Yin Xiu stretched out two fingers, "Beast-like intuition!"
"It turned out to be based on guessing." Kui Qingshan sighed, "I was a little nervous because I thought I had encountered an evil star." After a pause, he asked again: "Tell me, what do you want?" "not so good!" Yin Xiu was already a little annoyed. It was like a person training a dog and telling it "sit down" and "shake hands". However, the dog just stood there and snorted a few times. It neither understood nor understood these instructions. Didn't do it. "Don't stop me. I don't care what you want to do, whether it's becoming an immortal or making land, it's none of my business. We just want to leave now." "leave?" Kui Qingshan smiled coldly, "Don't you understand that those who enter this place will never leave? This is a big prison. Everyone who enters this place will be locked up by me and will not be able to leave for life. Here, you are the prisoners in the prison. " "Big cage? Big prison" Yin Xiu repeated. "That's right," Kui Qingshan nodded, "If you enter here, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life. You will be a member of Xiaoli Village when you are born, and you will be a ghost of Xiaoli Village when you die. You will live here forever and ever, becoming the materials for my cultivation and helping me to cultivate." I practice." "I see," Yin Xiu nodded, "However, you seem to have made a mistake about something." "Huh? What could I have done wrong?" Kui Qingshan tilted his head, his face full of disbelief. "I mean, is it possible that you are also trapped in this cage, one of the many prisoners?" Yin Xiu said with a smile. "How can it be!" Kui Qingshan's eyes widened, "I spent a lot of effort laying out and planning this place during my lifetime. How much thought I put into cultivating the atmosphere and pattern of this place, do you know? How can anyone build a cage for Lock yourself in?" "Of course," Yin Xiu pointed at him, "like you." "Don't worry. Listen to me tell you a story. It's from my hometown. You can take it as a joke or read it as a strange story. It won't take up much of your time anyway. It is said that on an isolated island surrounded by the sea and undetectable by any instrument, there is a large prison with many prisoners and several prison guards responsible for managing them. The prison guards are naturally aloof, with plenty of food and drink, and no need to worry about the prisoners escaping, because there is sea on all sides. Even if these prisoners climb over the high walls, it is absolutely impossible to escape, so the prison guards The work is easy and enjoyable. The prisoners only had radishes and potatoes to eat every day, and could not see any oil star seeds all year round. There was a prison guard who was quite a good person and often felt that the plight of these prisoners was pitiful. One day, a prisoner who had been locked up here for a long time finally served his sentence and could be released. The prison guard opened the door for him and sighed to the prisoner: Oh, you are so pitiful, you have been locked up here for so long. Unexpectedly, when the prisoner heard this, he laughed and said to the prison guard: In fact, when I was locked up here, I already discovered that you are more pitiful people. 【why? 】 The prison guard was very dissatisfied. He had a lot of food and fish every day, but the prisoners didn't have enough to eat. Now a prisoner actually pitied himself. Isn't this the funniest thing in the world?
So he said angrily: What do I have to be pitiful about? I live a very comfortable life here, but you live like a dog. Who is more pitiful?
At this point, the prison guard laughed again, and the original pity for the prisoners was gone. But the prisoner said slowly: You misunderstood, Mr. Prison Guard, I mean, even though I have been locked up here for so long, I am about to be released, and you still have to stay here. " Kui Qingshan originally had a smile on his face, but after hearing these words, he finally became completely cold. (End of chapter)
