Chapter 14: Fortunes and misfortunes, a great disaster
"Whew!"
A cloudy wind neglected to go away, and in a moment, the previous feeling of being wrapped up around my body disappeared.
It was as if the dust had settled, and there was an indescribable sense of solidity in my heart.
The coolness on my neck was also gone, and my body was warmed up and down, and soon, it was hot again; after all, the temperature of the weather at this time of the year was not low.
"Boo!"
I don't know who, but I bounced something on my head with a crunch, and I almost cried out as my nose went sore from the pain.
"Wu Yu, open your eyes." Chen Hansheng said.
I slowly opened my eyes and the wind was calm around me.
Dad and mom were all standing nervously aside, Chen Hansheng stood in front of me, a white-tailed duster in his left hand, a three-foot-long cypress sword in his right hand, his eyes gleaming, but his forehead was full of sweat, and his expression was already a bit tired.
Zeng Zi'e stood aside solemnly, not sad or happy, only Chen Hongde, a series of smiling and relaxed look.
"Well?" I asked cautiously.
"Well." Chen Hansheng smiled and said.
"He won't come back for me?" I still couldn't believe it.
"Don't worry, never again." Chen Hansheng said, "Get up."
At this moment, I was truly ecstatic!
I only felt that my body was a burst of unprecedented relief!
However, just when I wanted to leap up, my hand suddenly "bang" a sound, shocked my eyelids jumped, I looked down, only to see the hand originally holding the clay doll, at this moment, even crumbled!
I stood up, I do not know is sitting for a long time, legs some numbness or other reasons, in the moment I stood up, my legs are a little soft, the body can not help but stumble forward!
In front of me is a long case, I hastily reach out to grab, I did not expect my palm but pressed in the incense burner, a pain in the heart came!
"Ah!"
I cried out miserably, my hand retracted like an electric shock, but in my palm, there were already eight more dense incense scars.
I bared my teeth in pain, my father and mother all ran up to break my hand and ask questions, Zeng Zi'e but indifferent, Chen Hansheng only sighed, faintly said: "This is the punishment that Liu Wei said, the pain of fire burning."
I know the inside story, did not speak, the heart also dare not curse, purely as their own self-inflicted, nothing to go to the ten people ditch to provoke a dead man doing.
Dad see just branded incense scars, there is no other major harm, then put down the heart, asked Chen Hansheng said: "Old Mr., there is something else for us to do?"
Chen Hansheng said, "I have Liu Wei's birth date here, you guys go back and make a longevity tablet, carve his name and birth date, place it in the inner room, burn incense three times a day, and pay homage to it on New Year's holidays. If one day the tablet breaks on its own for no reason, it can be removed. At that time he should have already had his grievances eliminated and reincarnated."
"Is there anything else?" My dad asked again after he had memorized it.
Chen Hansheng said with solemnity, "There is, that is, the matter of Wu Yu's succession to the Chen family, how have you couple considered it?"
I looked blearily at my dad and mom, wondering how they were thinking about it.
Dad and mom looked at each other, both rubbing their hands and not speaking, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Chen Hansheng waved his hand and said, "That's all, I said I would never force anyone to do anything. The matter of succession, let's forget about it for the time being. However, I am still those words, Wu Yu is the five elements of the lack of people, life is against the five elements of the ghost congregation, since he refused to change his name, there is no way to solve the fate of the destiny of the bad luck. However, he escaped from Liu Wei's evil spirits, not dying, when there is a blessing. Since Liu Wei landed the tablet of immortality in your family, he must protect one person, and this person is Wu Yong undoubtedly. But Wu's bad luck will also be transferred to his six relatives, and I'm afraid that his six relatives are no one else but you and your wife. The trouble of the Five Elements Ghost Crowd will also find its way to you couple. Although you are adults, you must be careful and not careless. Remember to do more good deeds and do not do even small evils."
These words made me secretly frightened, Liu Wei can't take my life, but instead to bless me with peace, while my bad life was transferred to my dad and mom!
My dad and mom were so happy to hear that nothing was wrong with me that they were so overwhelmed with joy, where else would they care about themselves, and immediately thanked Chen Hansheng, who waved his hand and said to Chen Hongde, "Go to the house and bring over two spirit stones. One red and one yellow."
"Yes." Chen Hongde answered and went.
Chen Hansheng then said to my parents, "I'll give one of you something that should be of some use."
My parents didn't know what Chen Hansheng was going to send, but they still thanked him.
Chen Hongde soon came out, two hands holding two things, I looked carefully, only to see that it is two rough brown "d" shaped stone, length and width are only about one and a half inches, but also wearing a rope, the color is not the same, one is a red rope, a yellow rope. There are words carved above, do not know what font.
When Chen Hongde came closer, I asked, "What kind of stone is this?"
Chen Hongde said, "Didn't you hear your Grandpa Chen say that this is a spirit stone?"
I was curious, "Is a spirit stone a treasure?"
Chen Hansheng said, "The stone of the mountain sun, the sun burns by day, the moon washes at night, gathering the essence of the sun and the moon, storming on the top of the mountain, subject to lightning strikes and electric shocks without breaking, there is a rigid and straight gas, which can be taken as a spirit stone to suppress evil spirits. Meaning, in the mountains in the sunny side of the stone, by the wind and rain, lightning and electricity, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, there is a spirit of righteousness, can be used to suppress the house to drive away evil spirits. So it's not a treasure, but it's a treasure."
After pondering for half a day, I asked again, "Then what words are written on the spirit stone?"
Chen Hongde said, "This word is written but it is a very, very spiritual incantation."
"Mantra?" I was surprised, "Second Uncle, will you read it to me?"
"You're sweet-talking." Chen Hongde laughed and read off the top of his head, "Knowing the talisman is divine, knowing is true, I talisman this talisman, nine insects leave my body, ingesting all poisons, rising real people are in a hurry!"
I stayed for a moment, said: "What does this mean?"
Chen Hongde said, "This is the incantation of the talismanic power of the 'Remove Three Corpses Talisman'. It means to bless peace and keep evil spirits away. Father, for whom is the red one and for whom is the yellow one?"
Chen Hansheng said, "Red man and yellow woman."
Chen Hongde then gave the spirit stone with the red string to my father and the stone with the yellow string to my mother.
After they reached out and took it, Chen Hansheng said, "I've read both of your faces, Mr. Wu's fate is against gold, so do not pay attention to swords and sharp weapons; Mrs. Wu's fate is against water, so do not approach rivers, streams, lakes, berths, or the sea for no reason. These two spiritual stones, you hang on the neck, it is best to wear often, do not just go down. Each wear their own, also do not casually easy to change."
"Yes!" Dad and mom all nodded very obediently.
Chen Hansheng glanced at me and said, "Alright, you guys go back."
After saying this, Chen Hansheng also stopped taking care of us and walked into the house of the public center compound without looking back, Zeng Zi'e followed and went in as well, and only Chen Hongde remained in place with a smile on his face.
Dad, mom slightly embarrassed, finally accompanied by Chen Hongde sent out.
Pro out of the public middle school compound, I vaguely some reluctance in my heart, look back as if I was in love, and then bowed his head and go.
Back home, really no longer have that kind of palpitating feeling.
I lie comfortably on the bed, clothes, shoes are lazy to take off, can not remember how many days have not slept properly, now no matter how to make up, and so the next day up, to find that no righteousness of the second child to settle accounts! Son of a bitch, leaving behind the old man first run not to mention, the old man was sick for a few days, the village rumored, hard not to come to see me!
Dad, mom no one, two people drumming and pounding, and is moving tables, and is turning cabinets, busy non-stop, I'm about to fall asleep in a daze, only to remember that they should be to Liu Wei set up incense, ready to put the tablets.
When I woke up, it was noon the next day, all over the body giggling was stripped naked, clothes, shoes collectively disappeared, the yard came a stream of water "clattering" sound, must have been taken by the mother to wash.
Dad always said that I slept like a dead pig, carried out to sell all do not know. I used to be unconvinced, but now that I think about it, there is still some truth to it.
I sat up, look around, only to see the north wall breathable window really placed a good incense case, a dark red wooden tablet on its end, the tablets neatly written on a line of words, it is Liu Wei's name and birth date. Under the tablets, a copper furnace, three yellow incense, curling smoke.
Looking at these things, I'm not afraid at all, instead, a feeling of solidity rises in my heart.
Chen Hansheng's words must not be wrong, Liu Wei will not retaliate against me again, he will only bless me, not die, there will be a blessing!
