Chapter 174 Shou
“You’re already here, so don’t ask so many questions, my mother-in-law will hurt you.”
“My mother-in-law, don’t come up with random things If you mess around, I will complain to my father when I get back."
"Come on, go in, you are not young anymore, you have to pay more attention to your marriage."
" Auntie, don’t say such things outside.”
Shi Zelan walked forward without looking back and walked into the old lady's yard. When she saw the fallen petals under the snow-pressed flower branches, she made a sound of regret along with everyone else.
The servants waiting in the yard looked relaxed. Everyone saw the real situation and no one wanted to go inside to enjoy the flowers at night.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu walked around, they saw Shi Zelan stopping in front of a flower bush. They walked over and looked at it carefully for a while.
"This flower fell down, leaving only a half-broken flower on the ground."
After Shi Xiaoliu spoke, Shi Zelan looked back at him and motioned for him to take a closer look at the flower. flower.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked at the flowers carefully, they asked Shi Zelan: "We are ready to go out, and you?"
"Together."
Shi Zelan followed Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Jade walked out of the courtyard gate, and they stopped near the courtyard gate, listening to some people waiting to talk about what happened in the yard.
“Several people came to enjoy the flowers last night.”
“Didn’t you go to the government to report the case?”
"When others came, they didn't steal anything, they just came to enjoy the flowers.
Their family didn't have any losses, so naturally they didn't go to the government to talk."
"I heard that the old lady wanted to Go to the temple to stay for a while. The weather is so cold. Isn’t it even colder in the mountains?”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances. Seeing the expression on Xia Yu’s face, they decided to walk aside again. Walk.
After a while, Xia Yu came back to her senses and turned around to see Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Let's go back."
After the three of them returned to the yard, Xia Yu said to them: "I heard a news that the old lady's yard was shrouded in black fog for a long time last night."
Shi Zelan suddenly understood: "I think that flower is a little strange, I see."
"You mean there is a demon coming to suck the spiritual energy from the flower?"
"It's empty, the spiritual energy is empty. . When the flower is broken, the spiritual energy will disappear immediately."
"We know this, but the person who did it will not know this."
The three of them frowned at the same time, and Shi Xiaoliu said directly: "We won't go out of the courtyard these days."
"Okay." Xia Yu and Shi Zelan responded one after another. Xia Yu looked at He glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "My cultivation has not been going well these days."
Shi Zelan looked at him and said, "I have been having trouble practicing. If you pass this level, your cultivation will definitely become smoother."
< br>“I originally wanted to succeed in building the foundation when I was thirty-five years old, but now that I am facing such troublesome things, I don’t want to think about my subsequent cultivation.”
“Why don’t you want to?
I think what you are encountering now has just polished your character, and it will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation. "
Shi Xiaoliu listened to Shi Zelan's words and said to Xia Yu: "You see, Sister Lan has been cursed, but she has never given up on practicing, and she firmly believes that she will be able to successfully build the foundation in the future. "
Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan and said, "I didn't know you were in such trouble before. After what happened this time, I understood why you had been indifferent to me before. "
After listening to Xia Yu's words, Shi Zelan said a little embarrassedly: "I am not indifferent to you either.
I just talked to you. After being seen by the little girls who like you, they will find trouble with me in private. I find this very annoying and don't want to deal with their subtlety. ”
Xia Yu looked at her dumbfounded: "They used to be very cute and considerate in front of me."
"Pfft.
Wanyu told me that compared to As far as they are concerned, she is more pleasing to me, at least I won’t pretend to have a good relationship with you in front of her.”
“I never thought that you and Wanyu would become friends.”
< br>
"She doesn't hold grudges, and she doesn't hold things against people. And I have never thought about robbing you from her. I think she can still get along."
Xia Yu blushed in embarrassment: "I am not old enough now. I don’t think about these things, I just want to cultivate.”
“That’s right, if you think about these men and women now, I won’t even bother to treat you as a friend.”
< br>Xia Yu took a breath: "Okay, then you have to be more careful. Don't call me your uncle one day."
Shi Zelan immediately turned to Shi Xiaoliu and said: "Xiaoliu , I think the two of us are enough for going up the mountain in the spring.”
"Sister Lan, I'm just trying to encourage you. I'll go up the mountain with you to collect herbs in the spring."
Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Winter is not over yet, so don't worry about spring for the time being. . ”
When Master Decheng and his party came back from outside, their expressions were not very good.
Shi Xiaoliu poured tea for the four of them. Xia Yu stood by and was ready to serve them tea. Shi Zelan bravely asked: "What bad thing happened?"
" Today I encountered the most tragic case of a mother killing her child.”
Shi Zelan's expression changed: "Where are the members of her husband's family?"
Master Decheng took a deep breath: "Let's recite sutras for the child, and hope that he will never encounter such an evil mother in the next life."
Master Shan Zheng reached out and patted Shi Zelan on the shoulder soothingly: "Sister Lan, there are too many injustices in this world."
"Master, I feel very uncomfortable."
"Sister Lan, then you can recite sutras for that poor child."
After thinking for a while, Shi Xiaoliu, Shi Zelan, and Xia Yu memorized the Tao Te Ching almost at the same time.
This night, Xia Yu was never at peace. Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng kept guarding him.
On the second day, Shi Zelan looked at the pale Xia Yu and said, "I think we should practice hard so that one day we can take action to rectify the injustices in the world."
"Sister Lan, You have forgotten that we cannot interfere with the cause and effect here."
"Saving people from water and fire should be our original intention in cultivation.
To the end of our cultivation, if it is just to live a mediocre life, I think why should we work so hard and grind our hearts? "
Shi Xiaoliu nodded in agreement: "We will not destroy the cause and effect in this world.
However, we cannot clearly know that others are in danger. We can reach out to save someone's life, but due to causal reasons, we can only turn a blind eye. Then why should we embark on the path of spiritual practice? "
Master Shan Zheng turned to look at Master Decheng: "You taught Xiao Liu very well. "
"Sister Lan has a very good nature, and you are really willing to accept her as a disciple. ”
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he fell into concentration for a moment.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other and heard the voices of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "He has an epiphany."
Brother Qiyuan rushed over and looked Looking at the barrier-lined courtyard, they stood guard next to Xia Yu.
