Yang Daxian looked very scary, so I asked her what the trouble was.
She told me that this ghost has some spiritual skills and has been stringing together orifices on my body. Now that half of my orifices have been opened by him, I am afraid that I will continue to encounter such evil things in the future.
Qiao here means the meridians in the human body. Part of the meridians in normal people are blocked, and only practitioners can open them up.
In martial arts novels, it is often said that opening up all the meridians, or opening up the Ren and Du meridians, is actually the opening of the orifices. After the orifices are opened, the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth can be better attracted.
However, if an ordinary person who has never practiced spiritual practice is knowledgeable but does not understand the Yin and Yang method, once the Yin and evil energy enters the body, it is commonly known as being hit by evil spirits and possessed by ghosts.
Of course, in addition to ghosts, it is also easy to be possessed by immortals, because in essence, ghosts and immortals are spiritual bodies, and it is easier to get possessed only when they are enlightened.
Some people are born with evil bones and often encounter dirty things. This is what it means.
Yang Daxian said, in fact, I am an evil bone. Now that I have been penetrated by the ghost, the situation will be more serious in the future.
My scalp felt numb after hearing this, and I said that this was the only thing I was afraid of. I really couldn’t hide away even if I wanted to.
Yang Daxian smiled strangely again and said to me: "It's useless to hide. If it weren't for this, there would be other things. Sooner or later, you have to take the path of becoming an immortal. Don't run away."
I asked with a grimace: "Then what should I do now?"
She didn't answer my question, but she narrowed her eyes and stretched out three fingers to gesture at me.
It took me a while to understand, so I took out thirty yuan and handed it over.
Fortune telling is responsible for the cause and effect of things, and giving money is the rule.
After she collected the money, she said to me: "There is a Fox Fairy Cave behind Jile Temple, and there is a Hu Xian Tai Nai who is very good. You go there tonight and burn some big ingots for Hu Xian Tai Nai. Please help her. Send that ghost away.”
I had heard about the Fox Fairy Cave a long time ago, so I thanked her immediately and left with Zhang Wenwen.
Back in the dormitory, Zhang Wenwen was restless and kept apologizing to me, saying that it was all because of her family's affairs that had implicated me.
I was also a little speechless, but I knew in my heart that this was my life. I would be surrounded by disasters and hardships, and my life would be full of ups and downs.
So I went out and bought a small bag of gold ingots. When it got dark, I went to Kek Lok Temple alone to find the legendary Fox Fairy Cave.
In fact, I can go to Mother Hu for help, but when I think of Mother Hu, I feel a little repelled because she always wants me to be her apprentice.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, I quietly went to Kek Lok Temple. The temple door was naturally closed early by this time, and there wasn't that much nightlife in the Northeast, and the surrounding shops were also closed.
Speaking of this, there is actually a big difference between the north and the south. Later when I went to some southern cities, the streets were full of people at midnight, and many restaurants only closed in the middle of the night.
In Harbin, it’s already very late after nine o’clock. If you want to go to a restaurant after ten o’clock, you can only have a barbecue.
If you are in some small counties in the Northeast, there will be basically no one there once it gets dark.
Kek Lok Temple is very large. There is a small road outside. Follow that road to the back wall. Next to it is a residential area. The street lights are not very bright and give off a dim light.
I walked along the back wall of Kek Lok Temple, looking for the Fox Fairy Cave.
This Fox Fairy Cave has a history, and it began to appear as early as nineteen years ago.
It is said that in the earliest times, there was a sick old lady nearby who had no money to buy medicine. Her family believed in immortals. Then one night, a Hu Daxian entrusted the old lady with a dream and asked her to go to a drainage hole behind the Kek Lok Temple. Get medicine.
The old lady really went and found a pill in the drainage hole. After taking it, most of her illness was cured.
This incident spread quickly, and everyone came to worship the Fox Immortal. There was an endless stream of people for a while. There were more people visiting Hu Daxian than going to Kek Lok Temple to offer incense.
But the incident spread too widely and had a bad impact, so the Kek Lok Temple sealed the drainage ditch with cement.
A few years later, for some reason, another hole was opened in the sealed cement hole. Someone put up eaves, built a small temple, and put up statues of immortals here, so the incense became more prosperous.
Later, Master Jingbo, the abbot of Jile Temple, decided to rectify the situation. The eaves of the Fox Fairy Cave were demolished, the statues of the immortals were taken away, and people who burned incense and paper were banned.
However, there are still some people who secretly come here to burn paper and worship the immortal, just like me.
Because everything had been demolished, the small temple was gone, and it was dark, I searched for a long time before I found the Fox Fairy Cave on the roadside.
But there is only one high wall here. There is a palm-sized hole in the lower right corner of the wall. Looking at the wall, there are obvious traces of fire, which is dark.
In the middle of the wall, someone painted a small temple with eaves on it and wrote the words Hu Xiandong.
Seeing that there was no one on both sides, I put down the bag of gold ingots and bowed to the front.
Then I explained my situation again before burning the ingot. In the light of the fire, I kept begging Hu Daxian to help me get rid of the ghost Zhang Xiaowu.
As I muttered this, I felt a little funny in my heart. I felt like a superstitious old lady, but there was nothing I could do about it.
The bag of gold ingots was quickly burned out, the fire gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a pile of ashes.
However, nothing happened. I looked around in confusion, wondering if this was a success or not?
At this moment, an old lady suddenly walked out from the darkness in the corner, holding a broom in her hand, and slowly swept the ashes of the pile of gold ingots into the corner.
This old lady was dressed in black and had a bun on her head, commonly known as a knot, which was considered the standard outfit for old ladies in Northeast China in the past.
I thought she was a nearby resident who was in charge of affairs here, just like the old man from the Tutu Temple last time.
But after sweeping away the ashes of the ingot, the old lady raised her head, glanced at me with squinted eyes, and said to me: "You kid, you are riding a mule to find a horse. If the ghost doesn't want to leave, you can't drive it away." Come on, since he wants to practice, why don’t you find a place for him to practice?”
This sentence made me suddenly enlightened. Isn't this Kek Lok Temple a place for spiritual practice? !
I was about to ask who this old lady was, when suddenly my eyes blurred.
It felt like my brain was short-circuited for a moment, and my thinking stopped for a moment. When I came back to my senses, I found that the old lady was gone.
Only then did I realize that it must have been Mrs. Hu Xian just now!
I quickly bowed to the front, thanked again and again, and then ran back to the dormitory happily.
The next day I went to Jile Temple and spent some money to hang a memorial tablet for Zhang Xiaowu in the Gongde Hall.
The monk in charge told me that there are actually many souls of the dead in the Kek Lok Temple. The big temple does not accept the small temples, so they have nowhere to go. It is very pitiful.
This Merit Hall is to accommodate these lonely souls of the dead. Every time there is a Dharma gathering or morning and evening homework, it will be dedicated to them, which can also be regarded as a kind of practice.
After leaving Jile Temple, I told Yang Daxian about the incident. She asked me to burn some paper money and clothes for Zhang Xiaowu. I did so and went to the Tutu Temple last time to burn two bags of ingots for Zhang Xiaowu. There is also a set of blue cloth clothes.
That night, the feeling of being stared at disappeared, and I was no longer afraid of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
One night a few days later, I dreamed of Zhang Xiaowu again.
He was wearing a brand new blue cloth suit and stood at the head of my bed, smiling eerily at me.
