You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 167 Meticulous attention from head to toe

Brother Qiyuan carefully inquired about the old lady's origins and found out something for them.

It's just that it was too long ago, and the old woman has been living an ordinary life all her life.

When the man is around, she is a good wife and mother.

When there is no man, she is the grandmother of the family, and everything in the family is taken care of by the eldest son and daughter-in-law.

The old woman has been a Buddhist all her life. In her later years, apart from going to temples and staying for a while, she had no other inappropriate hobbies.

Normally, brothers Qi Yuan would not pay attention to such an old woman, but now because of Xia Yu's incident, they noticed this old woman.

There were many people during the day, and even if Brother Qi Yuan could become invisible, they couldn't gamble on the chance of exposing themselves.

At night, after people fell asleep, Brother Qiyuan stood by the old woman's window and heard the old woman dreaming.

"Father, have you come to pick me up?"

Brother Qiyuan secretly exchanged glances. Children from ordinary families like to call their father "Dad."

"Father, I don't want their life span."

Qiyuan Zhenren brothers pushed open the window and saw the shadow on the ground. They were immediately angry and went over with their swords.

Xuying made a mocking voice: "Hey, a disciple of the great sect.

You arrived at just the right time, what a delicious meal delivered to your door. "

Their brothers' swords pierced the air, and Xuying laughed loudly: "Stupid, the disciples of the sect have been as stupid as ever for hundreds of years."

Master Qicheng moved and threw a talisman at the shadow. When the shadow didn't react, he threw several more talismans in succession.

"Yeah." Fires appeared one after another in the shadow, and Master Qicheng said to Master Qiyuan: "Talk."

The two brothers took turns throwing away the talismans. As Shi Zelan said, as long as there were enough materials to refine the talismans, her master was willing to take her to refine the talismans.

"Yeah, yeah." The shadow shrank and quickly ran out through the open window.

Brother Qiyuan chased him out. The old woman on the bed woke up in the middle of the night and saw the open window.

She got out of bed and closed the window, sighing: "I forgot to close the window.

I actually dreamed about my father who had been missing for many years. I really don’t have much time left. "

Brother Qiyuan chased after him, but the shadow had disappeared. The brothers were so angry that they each threw a purification talisman everywhere.

When they returned to the window, they heard the old woman whispering. The brothers looked at each other and decided to give up tonight.

After they left, Xuying crawled to the old woman's window holding her chest, just in time to hear the old woman sigh: "Father, after so many years, you finally entered my dream.

Father, I don’t want to take away the life span of my children and grandchildren. If I can live until next spring without any pain, that is the best result. "

The shadow flickered, and after the old woman lay down, she whispered: "You are as cowardly and incompetent as your mother. Survival is your instinct, but you are unwilling to live forever."

The shadow finally stopped entering the room. It shrank smaller and smaller, and then disappeared in its place.

The next day, Brother Qiyuan went to a teahouse near the old woman's house to listen to books. He heard someone mention that there were flashes of fire everywhere in the yard of the old woman's house yesterday.

In the morning, the servant looked around carefully and found nothing wrong except for a strange smell. Brother Qi Yuan exchanged glances. After they came back from Shen Shi, they first cared about Xia Yu's situation, and then talked about the news they heard.

After hearing this, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng frowned at the same time: "That thing must have something to do with that old woman, and it will definitely come back, but I don't know when."

"Do you think that could be the old woman's father?"

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng nodded at the same time. The old woman and the man had been dead for many years. If the old woman had a deep affection for him and often saw each other in her dreams, her health would probably not be well.

Master Qiyuan's brother asked Master Shanzheng for some better talismans. Master Qiyuan handed Master Shanzheng a space pocket: "Shanzheng, can you see if the contents inside can be used?"

After Master Shanzheng opened the space pocket, he nodded happily: "If you can use it, you can use it."

Master Shanzheng took out another stack of talismans and handed them to Master Qiyuan: "This is the talisman refined by my senior brother."

Master Qiyuan cherished it and collected it, and then whispered to Master Shanzheng in a low voice: "Let Sister Lan learn to refine high-grade talismans."

Master Shan Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay."

He secretly thought to himself that Shi Zelan had a talent directly fed by God. Since he started drawing talismans, the refined talismans rarely turned out to be of inferior quality.

After Xia Yu stopped having strange dreams for several days, she encouraged Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Let's walk along the alley and get to know the neighbors along the way."

Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile: "You are too idle.

Come on, you'll soon feel the warmth of our neighbors.

By the way, if they ask you about getting married, you have to think of a good answer, but don't let people come to your door every day to arrange a good marriage for you. "

Xia Yu listened to Shi Zelan's words and looked at her dumbfounded: "I'm about the same age as you, and they didn't come to arrange your marriage. Why do they want to arrange my marriage?"

Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile: "My face looks young. Xiaoliu and my aunts said that I was just anxious to grow taller. In fact, I have just turned ten."

Xia Yu turned around and asked Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, do you think my face looks small?"

Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and sighed: "You don't look too young when you stand next to Sister Lan. You can find other excuses to repay Auntie's kindness."

"Other excuses, I don't want to get married, I believe in Buddhism."

"Can you recite Buddhist scriptures?"

After listening to Shi Xiaoliu's question, Xia Yu thought carefully: "I don't get married early, and I can't get engaged early, otherwise it won't be good for the woman."

The three of them walked out of the courtyard gate and walked all the way to the left. The first courtyard gate was closed, so they passed through smoothly.

However, when I walked to the door of the second courtyard, someone happened to come out of the courtyard, and then a young scholar came out.

The scholar saluted them, and Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu quickly returned the salute. Shi Zelan followed them shyly, and then walked to the third house like this.

"Sister Lan, from the day I met you, I have never thought you were a shy person."

When Shi Zelan heard Xia Yu's voice, she said angrily: "Do you want me to salute after you?
The aunts on this street have a good impression of me. They think I have a very gentle temperament and am very shy when facing strangers. "

When Xia Yu looked back at Shi Zelan, he saw her quickly rolling her eyes at him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she was just pretending in front of strangers."

Starting from the third house, Xia Yu saw the enthusiasm of the aunts on this street.

Their care for Xia Yu was such that they paid meticulous attention from head to toe. Even in the winter, Xia Yu felt like wiping off her sweat.
