Chapter 165: Reluctantly Agreeing with the Elders
Zhenren Qiyuan and Zhenren Decheng had been running around outside for two consecutive days. After Zhenren Qicheng had been guarding Xia Yu for a day, he followed them out to inquire for news.
At noon, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan accompanied Xia Yu to bask in the sun. Shi Zelan directly stuffed the purification talisman into Xia Yu's body. She sneered and said, "Let's see who dares to snatch your things."
Master Qiyuan and Master Decheng had been running around outside for two days, and they did gain something. At least they knew that the old lady's health condition had improved a lot after she came down the mountain.
Later, Master Qicheng found an opportunity to go to the old lady's house, although he did not meet the old woman in person.
But when he came back, his face looked very bad: "I felt it outside, she borrowed someone else's lifespan."
Master Decheng checked Xia Yu's condition very carefully and found that he had only lost some spiritual energy. He would be able to make up for it soon if he practiced hard.
Qi Yuan Zhenren said to Qi Cheng Zhenren: "You should check it carefully. If there is a chance, you can also meet the old woman."
Master Qicheng immediately said that he would go again at night. That night, Master Qiyuan waited for Master Qicheng in the yard, and Master Qicheng came back an hour later.
He saw Master Qi Yuan sighing, "She doesn't know that she borrowed the life span of the younger generations. The younger generations expressed their filial piety by vowing to reduce their life span by a certain number of years in exchange for the old woman's safety and health."
"Are her younger generations so filial?"
Qicheng Zhenren mocked, “They all try to be filial sons in front of others, but they never expected that the wishes they made casually could be fulfilled so quickly.
This is because the old woman is not greedy and knows that her filial sons and grandchildren make such a wish.
She said that as long as she could live a little longer, she would be able to see the spring scenery next year, and there would be no need for her children and grandchildren to make wishes in front of Buddha to shorten their lifespan. ”
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan listened to Xia Yu's retelling of the incident. They were stunned for a while. Shi Xiaoliu took a breath and said, "The old woman's children and grandchildren are really filial.
Tell me, if someone told them that they had indeed shortened the old woman's life, how would they feel? ”
Shi Zelan looked at him: "Will they believe such a thing?"
Shi Xiaoliu thought for a moment and sighed, "They won't be willing to believe this fact."
Xia Yu sighed deeply: "The elders decided to check the origins of the old woman's family."
"I suspect that the old woman is the daughter of that sect leader." Shi Zelan guessed.
Shi Xiaoliu agreed, and Xia Yu said angrily, "A descendant of a crooked and evil sect?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan asked Xia Yu to continue basking in the sun, while they stood at the gate of the yard and talked to their neighbors.
Aunt Liu curiously asked Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Have you had any guests in your house these days?"
"There are guests here, people from the same school. The yard they rented in the east of the capital is too big, and they like the popularity of the yard we rented."
"They rent a yard in the east. Their family background is better than your master's, and they earn more money than your master?"
"I don't know. Anyway, our master earns enough for us to eat and use."
Xia Yu was in the yard, and heard Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan standing at the gate of the yard, chatting with others for a while. Then, they said mysteriously to their neighbors, "We heard about something."
Xia Yu finally waited for them to get to the point, but soon Aunt Liu followed up with, "We also heard about something."
Then the topic deviated to the west again, and it took a long time for Shi Zelan to pick up the topic again.
Shi Zelan told the story of the old woman, and Aunt Liu clapped her hands after hearing it: "I was just about to tell you about this.
……. ”
Xia Yu sighed secretly in the yard. This Aunt Liu was really good at bragging. She made the old woman become one of the rare devout Buddhists in the world, and she also received the protection of the real Buddha.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were completely convinced by Aunt Liu's eloquence. They didn't need to pass on any news, as Aunt Liu had already explained the old woman's past and present life very clearly.
The old woman had both parents when she was young, but when she was a teenager, her father went out traveling and never came back.
Shi Zelan was surprised and asked, "Aunt Liu, do you know anyone around this lady?"
“I don’t know him, and I don’t have the chance to meet someone like that.
This is someone from the cousin's family of the cousin's younger cousin of the old aunt's family. Their cousin's nephew and daughter-in-law are related to the old lady's family.
They said that when the old lady was brought down from the mountain, the doctor told the family to prepare for her funeral.
As a result, two or three days later, the doctor came to see the old lady again and found that she had recovered. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan came into the yard from outside. Xia Yu said to them with admiration on her face: "When I have nothing to do here, I must meet Aunt Liu. She is very well-informed."
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Aunt Liu is a rare enthusiastic and sensible person. Listening to her talk about things in the capital is more interesting than listening to a storyteller tell stories."
Shi Xiaoliu said to Xia Yu: "You are in much better spirits today than yesterday."
"I used two purification charms last night, and one of them turned yellow this morning."
Shi Zelan heard what Xia Yu said, frowned and said: "I'll give you two more. Is this person's skill so profound?"
"Others specialize in studying methods to harm others, so naturally they are not ordinary in this area."
When Xia Yu spoke, he seemed quite indignant.
Shi Zelan agreed, "The person who harmed me, as long as he heard that I was doing well, his cultivation level must have been affected in the past few years."
"Humph, people hiding in the gutter, can they still cultivate to become immortals?"
Shi Xiaoliu couldn't bear to tell the truth: "As long as they truly repent, I heard that there are still a very small number of people who have the opportunity to ascend."
Shi Zelan rolled her eyes at Shi Xiaoliu: "Although this is true, Xia Yu and I don't want to hear it right now."
Xia Yu sighed and said, “It will be very beneficial for us if we listen to it.
We must work hard at cultivation so that we can take care of those who plot against us. ”
"That's right. If we don't have the ability, even if we say that we want to destroy all those who harm us, we will be helpless in the end.
After we have cultivated ourselves and become capable, when we encounter people or things that harm us, we can deal with them however we want. ”
Xia Yu nodded in agreement and said to Shi Zelan: "Our Xia family has some skills that are very suitable for you to practice. I have asked my father and uncle to pass them on to you to practice."
Shi Zelan took a breath and shook her hand at Xia Yu: "No, I can't repay such a big favor from you."
"You generously gave me the talismans refined by Daojun. My family has a technique that suits you, so you can naturally use it."
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu, then at Shi Xiaoliu, and said to Xia Yu, "You should ask the elders for their opinions first. If the elders are embarrassed, don't force them to agree."
