corpse village

Probably because I ran to Zhushan Temple while reciting the "Qian Kun Jing", so along the way, no one came to pester me, and I ran back to Zhushan Temple smoothly.

When I ran to the gate of Zhushan Temple, Grandma Zhang was already standing at the gate and looking out.

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, you're finally back! Are you okay?" Granny Zhang spoke in a very anxious tone, with a hint of worry. It could be seen that she must have been waiting for me for a long time.

Seeing that I came back safely, Granny Zhang let go of her hanging heart.Still, she couldn't help asking me a question. "You came back so late, where did you go?"

"A few classmates and I went to catch crabs in the small river ditch next to the school." I knew that Granny Zhang would not speak of me like Master Zhushan, so I would not hide anything from her.

"You kid, you're just playful." Granny Zhang reprimanded me, and then dragged me into the house.

"The food is cold, and I don't know when you will come back, so there is no way to heat it up. You sit here for a while, and I will warm up the food for you." Granny Zhang said while bringing the food on the table into the out of the kitchen.

Because of the lesson learned this time, in the next few days, I dare not disobey my master Zhushan's words.Every day after school, no matter how other friends encourage me, I will not go to play with them, but obediently go to Zhushan Temple.

Such a day is extremely cruel for a playful little kid like me.You know, as a kid, the happiest thing for me is to play.Now, because there are dirty things pestering me, I can't play anymore, which makes me very depressed.

At that time, I only hoped that my master Zhushan would come back sooner and help me collect all those dirty things.That way, I can go back to my normal life; that way, I can play with my friends again and play as I want.

About a week later, my master Zhushan Laodao came back.

This time, my master Zhushan Laodao did not come back empty-handed, he had herbs in his hand.As for the name of the herb in his hand, I don't know.However, I know that the herbs brought back by my master Zhushan Laodao are not ordinary herbs, at least there should be none in the nearby mountains.

Most of the people in the village know some herbs.My mother often went to the mountains to look for herbs, so I know the general herbs.None of the herbs that my master brought back were familiar to me.

It makes me feel that the herbs are unusual, not because I don't know them, after all, there are so many herbs I don't know.The reason why I have this idea is that when I asked my master Zhushan Laodao what the name of the herbal medicine was, my master told me that he begged for those herbs, but he still can’t tell me what it is, and it hasn’t arrived yet. when you tell me.

If my master Zhushan doesn't talk about it, it's inconvenient for me to ask more questions. Anyway, I'm not very interested in that herbal medicine.What I'm interested in is, if my master is back, will I be able to regain my freedom.

"Master, now that you have come back, am I safe? Can I play outside for a while after school and then go back to Zhushan Temple?" I asked my master Zhushan old man.

"It's not enough now, you will be truly safe after I cleanse your body, do the Dharma, and get rid of all the dirt on your body." My master answered my question calmly.

"How long will that take?" I asked.I don't care much about how to do it. What I care about most is when will I be able to fully recover my freedom.

"Seven days." My master Zhushan Laodao obviously knew what I was thinking, so he immediately added another sentence after saying these two words. "Within seven days, before the ceremony is finished, you have to rush back to Zhushan Temple as soon as possible after school every day, and you are not allowed to stay outside."

When my master Zhushan Laodao said this, his tone was extremely strong, and it was not negotiable.Therefore, I didn't dare to disobey anything, so I could only be unwilling and reluctantly agreed. "oh!"

After answering, I was only going to run to the yard to play.But when I was about to go out the door, my master Zhushan old Taoist stopped me, and he told me that now I need to cleanse myself.

As for the word "purification", I heard it when adults told stories. "Purification" was used for eunuchs in ancient times. After purification, you have to become an eunuch.At that time, I was still a kid. Although I didn't fully understand what a eunuch was, in my memory, eunuchs were never a good thing.

"I don't want to be a eunuch!" After thinking about this, I immediately put forward my opinion like the master.

After hearing what I said, my master Zhushan Laodao immediately burst out laughing "hahahaha".After laughing, my master said to me, "The cleansing I'm talking about is not like a eunuch's cleansing, but asking you to take a bath and wash your body clean, so that you can do it and wash off the dirt on your body."

As soon as my master Zhushan Laodao said this, Granny Zhang roared in the middle of the yard.

"The water is ready, Xiao Fei, come and take a bath."

As soon as Granny Zhang finished yelling, my master Zhushan Laodao took the big wooden basin in the house to the yard.After setting up the big wooden basin, my master Zhushan Laodao first burned three sticks of incense, and then read a passage of scriptures.

After finishing these cutscenes, my master Zhushan Laodao put the herbs into the big wooden basin, and then mixed it with the boiled water that Grandma Zhang had boiled.

I don't know if it was because of the effect of the herbal medicine, the originally clear and transparent boiled water immediately turned blood red as soon as it entered the wooden basin.It felt like the big wooden basin was filled with a basin full of human blood, which made people panic.

"The water is ready, take off your clothes and pants, and go in for a wash!" My master Zhushan said while reciting sutras.

In this wooden basin, the boiling water just poured in is still steaming!Let me go in and wash now, won't it be scalded to death?

"Master, the water in this basin is boiling and it's hot. If it's not cold, I'll wash it later." I thought my master Zhushan was confused in reciting sutras, so I reminded him.

"It's not hot!" My master Zhushan Laodao said as he reached into the wooden basin and poured the blood-red water inside. "Look, it's not hot, I can feel it."

My master Zhushan Laodao is a man of Taoism. I can't compare with him. If he feels hot, it doesn't mean that I don't feel hot.Therefore, I still dare not take off my clothes and jump in.

Seeing that I was still standing still, my master Zhushan Laodao spoke again. "Why, don't you believe Master? Why don't you touch it first to see if it's hot."

After my master finished speaking, I walked over and slowly put my hand into the big wooden basin.Not to mention, the water in this big wooden basin is really not hot, it is warm and comfortable to the touch.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you! Take off your clothes and go in!" my master Zhushan said.

After making sure that the water in the big tub was not scalding, I had nothing to worry about, so I took off my clothes and jumped in.

After I entered the big wooden basin, my master Zhushan Laodao immediately began to recite sutras.As soon as my master's voice of chanting came out, I felt that the water in the basin began to cool slowly, as cold as the water in the river.

But luckily, it wasn't too cold at the time, so I could take a cold shower or something.After the water in the basin became cold, the water suddenly began to crawl towards me like bugs again.The feeling was itchy and cool. It couldn't be said to be comfortable, but it couldn't be said to be uncomfortable either.

After a while, the blood-red cold water climbed up my face, crawled in from my nostrils and flowed out of my ears.Some go in my mouth and come out where I shit.

The blood-red cold water stopped moving after tossing my body inside and out.At this moment, I suddenly discovered that the blood-red water just now had turned black.

"Okay, the dirty things on your body are basically washed, you can get up, Xiaofei." My master Zhushan said to me after reading the last volume of scriptures.
