"Third sister, third sister?"
Seeing that Xu Chunniang had been in a daze, Fourth Sister stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"What you just said was just for fun, okay. Why do you want to go to Zhuangzi?"
Xu Chunniang came back to her senses, "I just want to change my way of life."
Kyoto is prosperous, but it is like an exquisite prison.
Zhuangzi stayed away from the capital, where he could at least control his own destiny.
The fourth sister couldn't help but become anxious when she saw that she didn't seem to be joking.
"Third sister, please don't think too hard and ruin your future. No noble girl can live in a place like Zhuangzi!
You should learn from your second sister and find a good man to marry, that's the serious thing. "
Xu Chunniang looked indifferent, "As a woman, getting married is not the only way to live."
"But most women in the world are like this. If they don't want to get married, isn't it a treason?"
The fourth sister looked at the third sister in front of her and felt that she could not understand her at all.
"What does it mean to be apostate? Qian is heaven, Kun is earth, Qian has Qian Dao, and Kun has Kun Dao. Everything in the world is just following its principles, following its path, and going back and forth."
Xu Chunniang got up, walked to the window, and looked at the withered yellow leaves outside the window.
“Life and death are a cycle, and life is just a part of the cycle.
You see, the leaves are yellowing and declining, but in the next spring, new leaves will grow. When the sun rises, all things will grow, and when the yin rises, all things will sink.
It goes round and round, that's all. "
The fourth sister was confused when she heard this, "Third sister, I don't quite understand what you are saying, but I know that if you dare to invite yourself to Zhuangzi, you will definitely anger your parents.
Maybe, he might stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of his life. "
Xu Chunniang smiled and shook her head. Being able to live her whole life in Zhuangzi was exactly what she wanted.
If you seek benevolence and gain benevolence, then there is nothing wrong with it.
The fourth sister sighed and left. It is said that birds climb high branches and people walk to high places.
The third sister is a weird one. She refuses to make progress, but instead she is willing to degenerate.
She couldn't persuade her, and there was nothing she could do.
In the future, even if the third sister figures it out, it will be difficult to marry into a good family if she misses this young age.
Seeing that Fourth Sister didn't understand her, Xu Chunniang didn't force herself.
Everyone has their own way to go. She has said enough, but the fourth sister can't understand. Maybe it's because of insufficient fate.
She returned to the table and continued to copy the unfinished verses.
Two months later, Xu Chunniang left the Buddhist hall with a thick stack of scriptures and gave them to her mother to read.
Mrs. Xu flipped through it casually, with a satisfied look on her face.
"The handwriting is very neat. It seems that you have realized your mistake and have regretted it. Please don't do such nonsense in the future. Go on."
Xu Chunniang bowed and said, "My daughter has something she wants to tell her mother."
Mrs. Xu stepped back and said, "You can say whatever you want, but you don't have enough money?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "What I am going to say next may be a little unbelievable, but it is definitely what I say sincerely."
Mrs. Xu had a premonition that what the third sister was going to say would be unusual.
She calmed down and said, "Please tell me and listen."
"I have had memories since I was born. In addition, I can clearly remember many things from my previous life."
Although she was mentally prepared, Mrs. Xu was still surprised and reached out to touch Xu Chunniang's forehead.
"Could it be that you caught a cold or a fever in the Buddhist hall and started talking nonsense?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "I don't have a fever, and everything I said is true. I can remember many things from my past life. In my past life, I was a tiger..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You were born by me, how could you be a tiger?"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xu interrupted her abruptly.
"You must be suffering from a fever. Yes, you are suffering from a fever. Go back to your room and rest while I send someone to call the doctor."
Xu Chunniang opened her mouth, but finally became speechless and returned to the room silently.
Soon, the doctor was invited, and a goddess was also invited together with the doctor.
The doctor felt his pulse, shook his head, and left the room without saying a word.
Mrs. Xu, who was waiting in the main room, quickly came over to greet her.
"Doctor, what can you tell? Is my daughter suffering from fever?"
The doctor frowned and snorted coldly.
"The pulse is normal. My wife is not sick at all. I hope Mrs. Xu will stop teasing me. Please take my leave."
After saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Xu to persuade her to stay, he left angrily.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu waved her hand feebly, "Go and ask the goddess to come over."
The goddess was quickly invited in. After hearing Miss Xu San’s symptoms, she spoke with confidence.
"Please don't worry, Mrs. Xu. In this situation, your daughter is probably involved in something dirty.
As long as I put a talisman into the water and keep the dirty things away, my wife can return to normal. "
Mrs. Xu forced a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you."
The goddess took out the talisman, asked Xu Chunniang's birth date, and then slowly stepped into the room.
She took out a handful of glutinous rice from her arms, scattered it in the four corners of the room, and muttered something.
"The Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all things; I have cultivated for hundreds of millions of kalpas to prove my magical power; inside and outside the three realms, only Tao is the only one; my body has golden light, which reflects my body..."
After reciting the incantation, she also finished scattering the glutinous rice she carried with her.
The goddess took out the talisman paper and pen she carried with her, and wrote down Xu Chunniang's birth date on the talisman paper, and then drew another talisman.
A magical scene happened. When she put the last stroke, the talisman spontaneously ignited without any wind.
When Mrs. Xu outside the door saw this scene, her confidence in the goddess increased a lot.
If the goddess takes action, the third sister will be able to return to normal.
The goddess took the tea cup on the table, turned the ashes into the tea, and brought it to Xu Chunniang.
"Miss Xu San will definitely forget those messy things after drinking this glass of talisman water from me."
Xu Chunniang took the tea cup and drank the talisman water in the cup in one gulp without saying much.
Seeing that the talisman water was drunk, the goddess nodded slightly, "Does Miss Xu San still remember what happened in her previous life?"
Xu Chunniang could feel that after drinking the talisman water, waves of heat rose in her belly.
This goddess seems to have real abilities.
However, after consuming this talisman water, the memories of past lives were not forgotten, but became clearer.
She even remembered that before she became a seed, she had been to a very special place.
That place seemed to be composed of endless emptiness and darkness.
There, you can't even feel the passage of time...
Xu Chunniang still wanted to continue recalling, but the heat in her belly retreated and the talisman water was exhausted.
She looked up at the goddess in front of her and said seriously, "I think I still need to drink some talisman water."
The expression on the goddess's face changed slightly. Ever since she attained enlightenment in her dream, this magical talisman's method of exorcising ghosts has been tried and tested.
This is the first time something is not working.
She gave Xu Chunniang a complicated look, put away her talisman pen and left the room without saying a word.
