"Three years ago, my life was running out, so I didn't want to accept you, and I left you early, which would only increase my concern and sadness.
This is why I have only had casual acquaintances with the people in Fushui County for so many years and never had in-depth interactions with them. "
Granny Hua looked at her confused disciple, "I know what you want to ask. Master won't hide it from you. It was your father who finally made me decide to accept you."
"Father?" Song Yushan did not expect this answer.
Granny Hua nodded: "You have a very good father. It was he who came to your door before you were born and told me that you wanted to set up a female household and not get married for the time being. Please ask me to accept you as my disciple and teach you how to defend yourself. If I don't agree, , he could only disperse most of his family wealth to keep you safe. After I knew that you had no choice, I cherished your talent and accepted you as my disciple."
"Thanks to you, otherwise the Song family's property would not be stable these days." Song Yushan was very grateful. Her mother-in-law took good care of her.
"You are now at the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm and a monk who has mastered stick skills. No one in Fushui County can be your opponent. If someone comes to bully you, just fight them back. Don't underestimate people's malice, even if they It looks much weaker than you, so don't let down your guard at any time.
My teacher just ignored this and damaged his body again. I should have been able to protect you for three years, but now I can only leave early. Fortunately, you are extremely talented and your progress is far beyond my imagination. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to protect you. Don't worry, I'll leave you alone. "Grandma Hua said.
Song Yushan raised her head to look at her mother-in-law, so she felt something was wrong with her mother-in-law before, was it not an illusion? "Master, is it the Xu family that caused you to lose another three years from your life?"
Granny Hua patted her hand and comforted her: "When I was cutting off the grievances, the three people of the Xu family woke up. At the critical moment, they hurt others with bad words, which caused the karma ghosts to have a lot of grievances, and I suffered the backlash.
They may still not regret it, but I have cut off the tongues of the three people in the Xu family. They will no longer have the chance to have an ostomy, which can be regarded as revenge.
Therefore, you need to be especially wary of their family members. I am gone, lest they look for opportunities to retaliate against you because of our master-disciple relationship. "
Song Yushan clenched his fists: "If they dare to come, I will make them regret it!"
She even wants to knock on the door now.
They are doing their own thing, and the mother-in-law is kind enough to help, but they end up with such a result, which is really hateful!
"After I leave, if someone in the county comes to your door if something strange happens to their family, please don't do anything.
If you want to help, you should also ask your pig demon to help you find out whether it is a monster or a ghost causing trouble. You can decide whether to control or ignore the former according to your strength, but you must stay away from the latter.
Before you advance to the Qi Condensation Realm and master the Heaven Eye Technique, don't easily come into contact with ghosts.
It's best not to get involved with anything, practice behind closed doors, break through the Qi Condensation period, and master the techniques. "
Song Yushan nodded heavily and said with some hope: "When I learn the celestial eye technique and can see ghosts and gods, can you come and see me?"
Granny Hua paused: "As long as you think about it, I will be everywhere."
After saying that, he sat up and took out a wooden box from the pillow on the inside of the bed and opened it: "Here are two spells that I copied. They were originally prepared for advanced levels but were not used in the end. One is the Heavenly Eye Technique. A paper-tying technique is now handed over to you. The teacher cannot teach you, so you can only rely on yourself to learn it.
The remaining book is a record of my teacher’s practice experiences. It is also left with you. It may help you expand your knowledge.
Finally, keep this letter and the wooden sign. When you advance to the Qi Condensation Stage and have mastered the Heavenly Eye Technique and the Paper Bonding Technique to a small degree. After you have a certain ability to protect yourself and want to seek more training resources, you can take them with you. Ganning, the county town of Linjiang, is looking for my master's door.
There are several other martial arts techniques collected in the temple. All disciples can learn them. I will ask my senior brother to protect you. "
Grandma Hua introduced and gave instructions one by one, and then handed the box and its contents to Song Yushan's hands.
"Master!" Song Yushan held the box and felt panicked. Her mother-in-law had thought of everything for her.
"Okay, help me get up and freshen up, and I have to walk cleanly," said Granny Hua.
Song Yushan boiled water, helped her mother-in-law bathe and wash herself, and put on the shroud she had prepared - a somewhat old gray Taoist robe.
Grandma Hua lovingly touched the old Taoist robe that had been kept for a long time and seemed a little unfitting: "Yushan, please give me a Taoist bun!"
"Yes!" Song Yushan held back her tears and stepped forward.
After finishing her bun, Granny Hua looked at herself in the mirror, as if she had seen the high-spirited self on Mount Ganning again: "Yushan, Master wants to ask you something."
"You said it, I will definitely do it." Song Yushan said without hesitation.
"When I die, there is no need for a funeral. You can incinerate me along with everything in this courtyard. Scatter my ashes in the water, leaving only a small cup. If you go to Ganning Temple one day, put this cup of ashes Just sprinkle it from the top of the cliff behind the temple and let the wind take it away." Granny Hua said.
"Yes!" Song Yushan lowered his head and burst into tears.
"Okay, go dig a jar of wine in the bamboo forest and have a last drink with me!" Granny Hua sat down leaning on the stone table.
Holding her chin and watching her disciple take the hoe and head out the back door three times a step, Granny Hua slowly closed her eyes.
"Master!!!"
Song Yushan came back with the wine jar. When he saw the figure leaning on the stone table, he ran over: "Master! Master, wake up! You haven't drank with your disciple yet!"
She cried bitterly, and finally remembered her mother-in-law's dying instructions. She suppressed her grief, put her into the coffin that had been prepared long ago, and then went to hang up white flags outside the longevity store.
When people coming and going see this white flag, they will know that someone in the family has passed away.
Although Granny Hua had made friends with others, some neighbors from nearby came to express their condolences, but Song Yushan stopped her at the door.
"Master doesn't want to hold a funeral, so please stop outside." Song Yushan held a bamboo stick and bowed his head to apologize.
Others saw that her face was pale but her eyes were extremely red and swollen, so they suspected that this was true.
It was already known to everyone that she was a disciple of Granny Hua, so it was natural for her to handle Granny Hua's funeral affairs, and no one else had the right to comment, especially since Granny Hua had no other good friends with her in the county.
Although he was surprised and strange, he had no choice but to lock the door of the longevity shop and go in after she finished speaking.
The news of Granny Hua's death spread quickly.
Some people sighed, some were relieved, and some were worried.
Song Yushan placed the coffin in the courtyard according to her mother-in-law's last wish.
Then he moved all the things that my mother-in-law had used in the shop and yard around the coffin. Finally, he piled firewood from the woodshed around it and poured kerosene on it.
She lit a firecracker and threw it in.
The flames burst into flames and quickly spread to the coffin.
Song Yushan knelt down and bowed his head: "Master's teachings will be forever remembered by Yushan! You can go in peace!"
