Chapter 24 Chapter Nine: Gold Seal and Jade Letter, Granted by Toriguchi

I haven't seen Dodo for a long time, and I burst into tears of joy, so happy. Dodo stretched out her hand to wipe my tears and asked me what's wrong?I smiled happily and said it's all right, it's just that there is dust in my eyes, baby, I really miss you.She pressed against my chest and said she was too.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao came up and said with a playful smile, godfather is here, why didn't you call me?Dodo looked back at him, tried to remember, then shaved her face with her hands, and said shamelessly, who is your goddaughter, shameless. Zamao Xiaodao looked embarrassed and hurt, while I laughed.

Seeing that Duoduo was able to come back, I was not in a hurry to talk to her. I led her to meet everyone present. Consolation, with a happy smile.Old Xiao and his uncle said that I was an anomaly in raising this little devil. He was a good boy, and he raised him in a good way. Unlike other people, he was just for profit. After recruiting the earth soul, he can speak, and he will be a powerful character in the future. Just as he was talking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Lao Xiao's younger sister ran in crying, saying that grandma was dying. Everyone was taken aback, his grandfather trembling his lips, said how could it be so fast?How can it be so fast?Shouldn't it?They didn't stop, and they all rushed out the door. I wanted to follow, but the miscellaneous path stopped me, saying no, I have nothing to do there, so just wait here.

After speaking, he ran out in a hurry. I sat back on the original seat, and the excitement I had just seen Duo Duo was diluted a lot.To be honest, I have never seen that old lady until now, and I don’t know what she looks like, how old she is, or what kind of illness she has.All she knew was that she was dying, and now she was going to die again.Seeing that I didn't speak, Dodo came up behind me, squeezed my shoulders, and thumped me lightly, very well-behaved. The golden silkworm Gu obviously smelled Duo Duo's breath, flew out quickly, danced affectionately, and then attached to Duo Duo's smooth and lovely face, screaming excitedly.The two little guys reunited after a long absence, so they were so happy. Duo Duo didn't beat her back to serve me, she jumped down to the ground, and then the two little guys kept chasing each other, jumping and jumping, very happy.

I felt a little better and let out a long sigh of relief.The road ahead is long, but for these two little things, no matter how tired I am, why not? While playing, a fat parrot popped out from the door, I saw that it was the tiger cat lord I saw yesterday, I saw it flying over, with sharp claws, scratching at the golden silkworm Gu.Hey, this flat-haired animal eats worms, but do you really think the golden silkworm Gu is an ordinary worm?Sure enough, as soon as the Golden Silkworm Gu appeared, it immediately alerted, like a bullet, whized, flew to the beam of the house, and then glared at the fat bird with its shiny black bean eyes.

Startled, Dodo quickly ran behind me, pulled the corner of my clothes, and looked at the uninvited guest timidly. Quack... The tiger cat laughed loudly, saying what a delicious bug, it has never smelled it in its life, it is really fragrant, if it can be fried, it will be more delicious when it is crispy.However, eating raw is also good, learn from Japan, nutrition.After finishing speaking, it flapped its wings and flew towards the golden silkworm Gu. I once heard that the Golden Silkworm Gu is not only afraid of short mules, but also big roosters with red crowns and yellow claws that have been raised for more than a few years. I thought this budgie is as tall as a fat hen, and has mixed hair. The one raised at home is very powerful, maybe it can overcome the golden silkworm Gu, right?Just as he was worried, the two had already fought together, and sure enough, this fat bird was not afraid of the poison of the golden silkworm Gu.This is a battle between the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and the little devil's regular division. One wins because of its flexibility and maneuverability, while the other has obvious strength. After several rounds of fighting, the golden silkworm Gu squeaked and ran around.

One is my lifeblood, and the other is the bird of Lao Xiao's family. I am in a dilemma for whoever suffers. But I still pulled the sideways, made a precise move, went up to catch the beautiful feathers of the fat bird, held it in my hand, and advised it not to move rashly, this fat bug is my natal Gu, you both are fat Brothers and sisters in trouble in the world, why are you in such a hurry?It cursed, slapped the neighbor next door, and poured out all kinds of ugly words without money.It's hard to imagine that a parrot can accumulate so many dirty words in its head, and finally swear foreign words like "Shit".

But I grabbed it tightly and stroked its fur, but it couldn't move, so I could only sneer and say it was a joke, hehe, how can I still recognize the truth? It's really uncomfortable. I looked at its thieves eyes that were rolling around, and it was funny, this bird has become a spirit. I told it to stop chasing my little bug, and then let it go. It flew to the place where the old man was sitting just now, with its yellow-green beak dangling the cold tea from the teacup on the table, ate a few pieces, and then slowly said that you are a wonderful person, and you have raised a golden crown silkworm Gu , and raised a newborn ghost, which is comparable to my previous master - of course, compared to him, you are still far behind, because, after all, he raised such a wise and powerful man like me Tiger cat adults.

I wonder, the previous owner? It said that the man was a professional chicken farmer, he was lucky, not only raised it, but also raised a golden mouse.But he didn't know the goods, and was later bought by the Xiao family to help it wake up.I asked it what is mind?It shook its head without answering, ate a few more tea leaves, then looked at Duo Duo, its bird eyes were bright, and said wow, little loli, my favorite, come here, come here, play with my brother... I gave it a sip, and pulled Dodo to hide, not listening to this rascal bird's teasing. It flutters its wings, quack quack, saying that I'm not good enough to please it?Otherwise, within a year, there will be a catastrophe, a catastrophe, and only then will I know the beauty of the world when I go to the Youfu.I gave it a middle finger, despising its threat, a bird, what kind of trouble can it make?The tiger cat was looking for boredom, and went to play with the golden silkworm Gu. I thought the two were going to quarrel again, but I never thought that this fat worm would be heartless enough. stand up.

Stupid things with short memories! I sat in the room for a while, and no one greeted me.At noon, I found out that Xiao Keming's grandmother had passed away at the age of eighty-two.The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became sad and dignified, and women's cries were heard continuously.Old Xiao's grandfather suddenly aged a few years, his face was gray, and his forehead had many wrinkles.Think about it, no matter how skilled you are, people are always no match for the ravages of time, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, how many people with lofty ideals in ancient and modern times want to live forever, but how many people have been liberated?

Grief can only be immersed in the heart. When a person dies, funerals must be arranged. A few old people are also old, and they are in charge of the overall situation, and the rest of the chores will be done by the juniors.I happened to meet the meeting and needed help. Before and after running, I didn't care about the two little guys, Duoduo and Fat Chongzi. They were also bored with me, so I left them in the room and played by myself.Publishing obituaries, gathering relatives and friends, purchasing ingredients and funeral utensils, buying coffins, making wreaths, inviting stage troupes... These things are cumbersome and require people to handle everything.

The Xiao family can be considered a wealthy family in the local area, and Lao Xiao posted all the compensation money he got from Uncle Duan. He wanted to hold a grand funeral for his grandma, and the specifications were high, so there were more things to do.Because it was winter, according to the rural rules in southern Jiangsu, burials were only done on the third day, so they were always busy. There are many relatives and friends in the Xiao family, especially on the third day, many people wearing Taoist robes came to the banquet and opened a few tables alone. According to the villagers, they came down from Mount Mao. In fact, I have always been curious about these Maoshan Taoist priests. The Maoshan Taoist priests that are spread among the people are not all practicing on Maoshan Mountain. Instead, most of the Taoist priests who catch monsters and ghosts are collectively called Maoshan Taoist priests, which is a general term.Just like "Kungfu in the world comes from Shaolin", almost all wandering Taoists who have "several hands" use the Maoshan banner.I have learned that, in fact, the head teacher on the top of the mountain is not the Tao Jinhong they talk about in Zamao Xiaodao, but someone else. The reason for this is probably to avoid the eyes of the world. Since the death of the old lady, Lao Xiao's grandfather has been sitting in front of the coffin, chanting sutras, and helping his wife, and ignoring others at all. I heard Lao Xiao mentioned in the middle that his grandfather and his grandmother have been married for more than sixty years, and they hardly ever blush.His grandma is a very honest rural woman, because her grandfather learned Taoism and was not very good at tending the fields. It was not easy for her to support the family like a cow in those turbulent times.The old man is like this, but he loves his wife.In the middle, I heard his father nagging, saying that Lao Xiao and his uncle who worked in other places rushed back. Unfortunately, my uncle went to Baokang in western Hubei after a year, and I couldn't get in touch with him. I was too busy and confused, and on the day of the burial, I secretly asked Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao about Lord Tiger Cat. He was surprised and asked me have I seen this fat bird? I said yes, don't you play with Duo Duo and Golden Silkworm Gu in the room every day now, what's so surprising? With a solemn expression, he said that the bird had been in their home for more than ten years, and its origin was mysterious.Ordinary budgerigars die after only seven or eight years.This bird, said to be in its twenties, is still alive and kicking.Now that you know it, I am not afraid to tell you that this bird is actually a human being!Don't be surprised, it was indeed a person before, and died in the 1940s. It should be a powerful character. As I said before, I have read half of "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", and this half is passed down from it. Mouth, do you think it's great or not? I asked what it was called "Golden Seal and Jade Letter", what's so amazing about "Boy"? He looked surprised and said that you don't understand what is "Golden Seal and Jade Letter"?This wonderful book is said to be the secret book left by the Yellow Emperor. In the history of China, it was learned by Jiang Taigong of the Zhou Dynasty, Guiguzi of the Warring States Period (the ancestor of Wang Chan) and his apprentices Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan. The secret books from Huang Shigong, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era...Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, Liu Ji in the Ming Dynasty...all of them are romantic heroes of the moment!After 4,000 years of circulation, loss, addition and deletion, this book is divided into five arts: mountain, medicine, fate, divination, and physiognomy. This is the foundation of metaphysics. I was surprised and said, isn't it?This thing is too mysterious!Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao looked like a tall man, smiling and not saying a word. On the second day after the funeral, the Xiao family received a long-distance call, and the woman on the phone anxiously announced the news: Xiao Yingwu had disappeared in the forest in the west of Baokang County, and this was the third day. Who is this Xiao Yingwu?Miscellaneous Xiaodao's uncle is also!
