Chapter 446 Chapter Twenty-Five

However, it is clear that this monster did not come for good fortune, but for misfortune.Because blessings are obtained by doing good deeds in one's previous life, the person who comes should also be kind and kind. Although he may not be handsome, at least he will not be so strange that people will feel scared when he sees it.Like the Songzi Niangniang and the God of Wealth, which are familiar to the folks, they are both pleasing to the eye and kind to others. And the monster in front of him can give people a chill, so it must not be for any good deeds.This kind of retribution ghost has specific targets and will not cause harm to other people, so after seeing it, grandpa can remain calm, even ignore it, and lie back on the bed as usual.

Grandpa said that after he asked a few questions and it didn't answer, he had already guessed that the ghost of life came to find Yao Xiaojuan or Li just now, and he was already somewhat certain that the ghost of life was The master in the dream they both talked about. However, I immediately raised a question: Since Grandpa guessed that the monster was the "Master" in Li's dream just now, then this monster should at least somewhat resemble "Master".Although I don't know the real image of the "Master", from Li Gangang and Yao Xiaojuan's narration, we can know that at least the old man will not have short legs and long hands, nor will he be as short as grandpa said.

Grandpa smiled and said, "Liangzi, do you know the idiom 'Shame arises from the heart'?" I nod. Grandpa said: "If you know it, it will not be difficult for me to explain. It is said in the "Impermanence Sutra" that things in the world have no appearance, and appearance is born from the heart. Everything is empty, it is really a miasma of the heart, the heart of ordinary people is everywhere, only the world can be regarded as selfless. I am the world, and the world is me.” Grandpa knew that I couldn't understand the specific meaning of the scriptures, so he further explained: "The meaning of this is that appearance is born from the heart, which means that what kind of state of mind is there, what kind of face is, a person's personality, Thoughts and deeds can be expressed through facial features."

I seem to understand. Grandpa said again: "It is said that there was a man named Pei Du in the Tang Dynasty. He was poor when he was young. One day, he happened to meet a Zen master Yixing on the road. After seeing Pei Du's face, the master found that the vertical lines at the corners of Pei Du's mouth extended to the entrance. I am afraid that he might be hungry. Because of the unforeseen misfortune of death, he advised Pei Du to work hard to practice goodness. Pei Du followed the teachings, and met a Zen master in the future. The master saw that Pei Du's eyes were clear and his face changed completely, and told him that he would definitely be a prime minister in the future. According to the master's intention, The reason why Pei Du's face has such different changes before and after is because he constantly cultivates goodness, eliminates evil, cultivates his heart, and follows his heart."

I understood a bit: "You mean that people's appearance changes according to their minds, doesn't it?" Grandpa smiled, touched his chin, nodded and said: "To put it simply, if a person always frowns, he will easily get wrinkles. If a person is always happy, he will look younger and have a longer lifespan." Also longer than depressed people." I understood what Grandpa meant: "What you're implying is actually that after the old master was beaten to death by Li Gang's previous life, he was very depressed and filled with grievances, which caused his appearance to change, right?"

Grandpa nodded, sighed softly, and said, "There is a better example around you." Immediately I thought of Rose Flower, the Kespo ghost whose appearance gradually changed into a beautiful girl.Indeed, Kespoo is a prime example.Since an extremely ugly appearance can become gentle and pleasant due to the washing of roses, then an ordinary-looking appearance will naturally become terrifying and ugly due to psychological distortion. What made the "Master" ugly and terrifying was naturally because Li Gangang's previous life and Yao Xiaojuan's previous life betrayed him.This is the reason why the Birth Ghost chased after Grandpa's room.

Although grandpa is not afraid of retribution, and can go back to bed to sleep peacefully, but thinking of Li Gangang and Yao Xiaojuan, grandpa can't sleep peacefully. When I got up the next morning, the monster with long hands and short legs was gone.Due to the delay in going to bed the night before, grandpa was a little tired.In those days, there was no farm work in the fields, and the old buffaloes were raised at my house. Grandpa could have slept a little longer to catch up on sleep.But when he thought of Mrs. Ma's granddaughter, especially that monster, grandpa couldn't sit still.

After flipping through the old imperial calendar and taking a quick look, Grandpa decided to take the initiative to find Mrs. Ma. Mrs. Ma did not go home, she stayed at a relative's house in Huamei Village to rest for a day.Grandpa soon found her. Before grandpa asked Yao Xiaojuan where she was, Mrs. Ma said first: "Oh, why did Brother Yue Yun wake up so early? I disturbed you so late last night, so you should rest more this morning. Look, your wife You're gone, and there's no one to control your living habits. By the way, which village was that man from last night? How's his family? Is he about the same age as my Xiaojuan? I've heard that a difference of more than five years is not good. Is that so?"

Grandpa kept typing a series of crackling words from her, so he had to shake his hands frequently.After she finished speaking, Grandpa said: "You still blame me, don't you go to bed late? Why do you wake up earlier than me?" Mrs. Ma's interest remained undiminished: "I'm in a good mood, right? People say that people are happy on happy occasions. It's hard for me to see Xiaojuan..." As she spoke, she glanced inside and outside the house. Grandpa immediately asked, "Where is Xiaojuan?" Madam Ma swept the inside and outside of the house with her eyes like a broom, she was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Isn't she still here just now? You can't see anyone so soon?"

Grandpa screamed in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly told Mrs. Ma and her relatives to come and look for her separately.Her relatives were still a little reluctant, and complained: "Xiaojuan is not a child anymore, she won't get lost and can't come back, and she won't play with water and fall into the pond, what's the rush? She will come out in a while. "Although he said so, he still moved his feet to look for it, and called Xiaojuan's name one after another. Yao Xiaojuan seldom comes to Huamei, and there is no way to distinguish which places she often goes to and which places she usually does not go to.We had no choice but to find out.

Grandpa asked Mrs. Ma: "What time did you find out she wasn't here?" The old lady Ma clapped her hands and said, "How would I know? It's because she was still here just now, and she couldn't walk so fast."
