Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 1

"Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently." Lin Zhuoming looked out the window, and the thin drizzle awakened the vitality of the courtyard. There was no spring in yesterday's day, but this morning there is light yellow and light green.

"Last night at the third quarter of the ugly hour, it was the solar terms of Awakening Insects. It's a pity that Master, you have ascended into the sky. From today onwards, you can no longer watch over me and learn the new." Lin Zhuming muttered to himself.

Lin Zhuming was an orphan picked up by the host of the Longevity Palace at the train station.

According to the old Daoist, he had congenital asthma back then, at any rate, the Daoist Lord took pity on him, but he grew up safely, and now he has one, so he is considered an adult.

When the old Taoist picked up Lin Zhuming, he was over 60, 73, 84, and his lifespan was not as good as that of Confucius and Mencius. In the end, the old Taoist did not pass this hurdle.

The Longevity Palace guarded by the old Taoist is a descendant temple, not too big, its layout looks like a concave character, except for a main hall, it is the place where the two live, and there is a small courtyard in the middle.

The Taoist temple is located in a little-known town, with a river in front and a mountain in the back. The scenery is not bad, with some rural landscapes and the beauty of Xiaojiabiyu.

It's a pity that the incense is not very prosperous, so the age of all kinds of belongings can be called antiques, but the old and the young are carefully cared for, but they are clean and tidy, not gloomy and dilapidated.

It's just that for Lin Zhuming, it's easier to feel sad, as if the old Taoist is still by his side.

"Now it's really only me, and I haven't been awarded the Taoist certificate. I'm afraid that the Taoist temple will not let me continue to live here. I'd better make a plan early and sort out the relics of the master first. Make a thought."

With reverence in mind, Lin Zhuoming entered the old Taoist room.

The room is not big, but the abbot, a single bed occupies most of the place, with thin mattresses and neatly folded army green quilts.

Under the single bed, a pair of Jiefang shoes are neatly placed under the bed against the wall, and next to the bed is an old-fashioned student desk with pens and ink on it, which is also neatly placed, and the old man just sits on the bed and writes .

And next to the window, there is a futon, which is the futon used by the old Taoist for meditation. It is woven with straw, and the outer layer is made from the pillow towel that Lin Zhuoming has slept through.

The old Taoist lived a simple life, but in fact there was nothing.

But Lin Zhuming still took out a small bamboo and rattan suitcase from under the bed. The color looked very old, but it looked very new, because there was no scratches on it, which showed the love.

Unlock the lock, and there will be a scent of soap when you open it.The two pieces of clothes were bought by Lin Zhuming with money for the first time, and he didn't want the old Taoist to cherish them so much.

Next to it are a few photos, all of which are Lin Zhuming, the old Taoist doesn't like taking pictures, there is also a letter, an ancient bronze mirror, and a thin book of scriptures.

Lin Zhuming first flipped through the photos, and every time he looked at one, he could remember what he did at that time, and the corners of his mouth curled up, but after a moment of surprise, he put away the photos one by one.

He took out the envelope with the words "The Last Word" written on it, and saw that the envelope had already been rubbed smooth.

Take out the letter, and there is a passbook inside.

Opening the passbook, there was a piece of paper inside. Lin Zhuoming opened it, but his eyes couldn't help getting wet.

"Show me my son."

Although Master and I have always been as close as father and son, we have never explicitly stated the relationship between father and son.

Lin Zhuming thought about the past: Master always said that he was fostered in Guanli, and told him not to forget to look for his biological parents, because they may not have given up looking for him.However, the Public Security Bureau has already recorded his information, and the website for finding relatives has not stopped. If he is really looking for himself, these two channels must be passed.
Lin Zhuming was thinking, reading, recalling the face of the old Taoist, he choked up, and wanted to say something, but he seemed to have lost his language function, or no one listened to him when he said it.

"The old guy has a lot of bones. Recently, I keep dreaming that Master Zhenjun sent someone to pick me up. I think that time is running out, so I want to leave you something."

"I've lived frugally all my life. I've always wanted to repair our temple, but when I met you, I didn't have such a big wish. Anyway, the real gentleman doesn't despise our small temple. Can make do."

"I don't have a lot of money saved, save some money, don't be stupid and go to get the ultimatum just to guard this temple, go to school if you can, now the policy is good, don't worry about money when you go to school, just go directly When you meet the right girl, don't be coy. You don't need to burn paper for me in Qingming."

The old Taoist did not mention the book and the bronze mirror, but Lin Zhuming knew that the old Taoist had real kung fu, but he didn't want Lin Zhuoming to go on this road, so he didn't explain.

However, it would be a pity if the skills of the whole body were lost, so it was written in this book that Lin Zhuming would cherish it, and even if he didn't learn it, he could pass it on to the world. If you don't listen to his arrangements, you will only think that this child is destined for a good cause.

This kind of contradiction is just like parents who hope that their children can stay with them while hoping that their children will have great ambitions.

Lin Zhuming was sad for a while, put the bronze mirror close to his chest, and then opened the scriptures, but saw that there were mantras and talismans on it, and some talked about how to open the altar, some talked about how to consecrate the light to invite gods, and some talked about it. How to send Shadu ghost
Lin Zhuming was attracted unconsciously, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt drowsy, wondering if it was because he was too sad just now.

After closing the book and the box, Lin Zhuoming exited the room and locked the door.

Back in the yard again, after all, he sighed, locked the gate, and hurried to the bus stop in the town, but while waiting for the bus, he looked back from time to time. When I was here in the past, the old Taoist always It was standing at the gate of the temple, waiting for myself to get in the car before going back.

Even before leaving the homeland, I feel homesick.

Lin Zhuming is still in school, it's time to go back now, the old Taoist hopes that he can read the book, not to be wasted, and fulfill the old Taoist's last wish.

In other words, besides school, where else could Lin Zhuming go?
Losing the only family member and being alone from now on, it is a time of confusion. Since there are books to read, read first, and then make other plans.

The bus stopped and stopped, but it didn't bring the boy back to his thoughts.

"The accident-prone section of the tunnel ahead, please drive carefully."

Even the bus that slowed down significantly, it took only a moment to pass through the tunnel. Many passengers even felt the darkness for a moment, and then they had already exited the tunnel, but no one cared. The boy who was originally sitting in the last row was no longer on the bus. , disappeared.

There is only the howling wind, and fragmentary conversations, stops and arrivals at intersections one after another.
