Chapter Twenty-Six Three Tribulations of Destiny——Bloody Calamity
Ling Fan, Tian Yu and Xiao Yu followed the address provided by Hong Feng and went to the place where the religious friend lived. Ling Fan stepped forward and knocked on the door, but a scary and old voice sounded from behind the door, and then a full-faced picture suddenly appeared.
The face of an old man has a groove, his eye sockets are sunken, and his eyes are gray and white without any black kernel at all.
The sudden appearance of such a face frightened Ling Fan so much that he stumbled back a few steps and almost fell down the steps. Fortunately, Tian Yu supported him from behind, otherwise he would not only be an Arab, but also more likely to become an Egyptian mummy.
Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Are you Mr. Bai? We are friends of Hong Feng. We are here to ask you about some religious matters."
The white-eyed old man chuckled and said: "So you are a friend of Mr. Hong, come in." The old man was wearing a pair of green clothes. Although the green clothes were a little shabby, they were washed very clean. The old man opened the door, and then
Turn around and enter the house.
Mr. Bai's room is very simple and plain, without any luxurious and modern decorations. There are religious things everywhere, such as the Yin and Yang Bagua symbols on the wall, the magnet compass, and some ancient copper coins placed in the porcelain. The whole room
The only thing in the room that could be called modern was the exquisite bookshelf, which was filled with books.
Ling Fan randomly took out a book from it, which was about Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" exegesis, and then took out another book. Nearly half of the title page was damaged, the pages inside were yellowed, and the paper was so brittle that it seemed as if it could only be touched by light.
It may break at the slightest touch.
"Ahem..." Mr. Bai coughed lightly, sat on the mahogany chair in the living room, picked up the tea cup next to him and drank directly. Then he faced Ling Fan again, looked at Ling Fan with his white pupils, and said with a smile: "
Young man, the book you are holding is the out-of-print authentic Taoist "Qingmu Sutra". It was written by Qingmu Taoist, the successor of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty. However, because Taoist Qingmu devoted himself to meditation and did not want to be famous in the world, there are few
Some people know Taoist Qingmu, let alone this out-of-print "Qingmu Sutra". I only got this book by chance, hehe."
As soon as the white-eyed old man said the words, Ling Fan's whole body trembled. If what the old man said was true, then the thing he was holding was a priceless treasure. Ling Fan carefully picked up the "Aoki" while busy.
The Sutra was stuffed back into the bookshelf, and he apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know this book was so precious. Please forgive me, Mr. Bai."
Tian Yu opened his big eyes and looked at the old man with white pupils curiously. The old man with white pupils suddenly turned to look at Tian Yu and asked with a smile: "Little girl, are you wondering why a blind man like me can see him?"
What kind of book are you taking, right?"
Tian Yu was a little embarrassed when the old man asked back. The old man with white eyes smiled as if he could see Tian Yu: "Haha, although my eyes can't see, my mind can see, and I can even see a lot of what you are seeing."
What’s invisible?”
Ling Fan was also surprised that the white-eyed old man could know that he was reading a book. According to him, the white-eyed old man's eyeballs lacked black pupils, and according to common sense, he could not see at all, but he could actually know that he was reading from the bookshelf.
When I picked up a book and read it, I was even more surprised that the old man even knew what book he was holding. This was amazing.
The white-eyed old man pointed at the wooden chair next to him and smiled at the three of them: "Don't just stand, you should also sit down. If my guess is correct, you should be here for the wandering Taoist priests of the Lingyin Taoist sect.
Right?"
Ling Fan and Tian Yu were shocked, and immediately turned their faces to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu waved and shook his head, saying: "Don't look at me, I don't know about Lingyin Taoist sect or Yunyu Taoist, none of you have ever told me these things
ah."
Only then did Ling Fan realize that he had met a real master. Legend has it that real Taoists can count on their fingers and do mental arithmetic and throw copper coins to do things. Although the old man with white pupils cannot see his eyes, it does not mean that he does not know the things around him.
.
The white-eyed old man seemed to be able to guess what Ling Fan was thinking. He laughed and said, "Young man, are you very surprised that I know about you?"
Ling Fan nodded undeniably, but then when he thought that the old man could not see at all, he could only smile and said: "Yes, the old gentleman is indeed very enigmatic. There are indeed some things that the student cannot figure out. Please make it clear to the old gentleman."
The white-eyed old man nodded with satisfaction to Ling Fan and said with a smile: "Young man, let me tell you directly. You are late. Taoist Wandering did indeed settle in Hong Kong, but he had gone to Hexian in the past few years.
, you won’t be able to see others.”
The news of Taoist Yunyou's death shocked Lord Ling. He quickly asked: "Old sir, is there no other descendant of Lingyin Taoist sect?"
The white-eyed old man sighed and said: "How can any of today's young people have such a state of mind and devote themselves to cultivating Taoism? After the death of Taoist Yunyou, the Lingyin sect has ceased to exist in name only, and there is no way to talk about its successors."
Ling Fan originally wanted to find out the whereabouts of the Lingyin Taoist sect, and then naturally find out who gave the enchantment talisman to Peng Fei, but the words of the white-eyed old man made Ling Fan's heart seem to be poured with cold water.
, just when Ling Fan sighed with great disappointment, the white-eyed old man seemed to have thought of something, and said: "No, there is something. I heard Taoist Yunyou say it. I remember that Taoist Yunyou once got together with me before he passed away.
I originally wanted to persuade him to accept a disciple and pass on the Lingyin sect, but Taoist Yunyou smiled bitterly and told me that he had no such plan anymore, because he had accepted a disciple before, and that disciple's understanding was also very high.
High, so he taught that disciple all the Feng Shui spells of Lingyin Taoism. However, he only taught the disciple the Feng Shui spells but neglected to teach him the method of meditating and cultivating the Tao. The disciple's character was not good.
Duan, violated Taoist rules, so Taoist Yunyou expelled him from the Taoist temple in anger. From then on, Taoist Yunyou had no intention of recruiting disciples, and the Lingyin lineage disappeared."
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there are dark willows and bright flowers in another village - these two poems happened to describe Ling Tong's mood very accurately at this time. He immediately became interested in the disciple of Lingyin Taoist who was expelled from the Taoist temple: "
Old sir, do you know the name of the disciple who was expelled by Taoist Yunyou?"
The old man with white pupils thought for a while and said: "Of course I remember, because Taoist Yunyou was once very proud of this disciple, thinking that he had accepted a talented person who could carry forward the Lingyin Taoist sect, but later this unscrupulous disciple also let Taoist Yunyou
I was heartbroken, so he murmured the disciple's name in my ear more than once. I remember his name was Zheng Long."
"Zheng Long?!" Xiao Yu screamed when she heard the white-eyed old man say the disciple's name.
The white-eyed old man looked at Xiao Yu and said strangely: "What, little girl, do you know him?"
Xiao Yu shook her head, nodded again and said, "I don't know if it's the same person. I remember that in a kidnapping case two years ago, the name of the kidnapper who was killed was Zheng Long."
"The kidnapping case? Are you talking about the case that my brother was involved in?!" Ling Fan looked at Tian Yu and asked in surprise.
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, it was that case. Because of his relationship, I remember that case clearly. I will never forget that case, because so far, the other kidnapper is still at large, so I
It will never be forgotten.”
A disciple of the Lingyin Taoist wandering Taoist turned out to be the kidnapper in the kidnapping case two years ago. He finally got clues about the enchantment talisman again, but he also learned that Zheng Long was killed in the case, which made Ling Fan feel
He was feeling dizzy. He was thinking about everything he had learned. If Zheng Long is a disciple of Taoist Yunyou, and according to Taoist Yunyou, Zheng Long is extremely talented, then he must have received the true biography of Taoist Yunyou, then
It is very possible to learn the Soul-Ecstasy Talisman, but he is dead now. How could a dead person give the Soul-Ecstasy Talisman to Peng Fei? Could it be the work of the soul?!
Ling Fan felt a headache when he thought of souls. If souls really existed in the world, then this case would be easier to handle. But so far, he has never found that the case was caused by souls, even if it was an evil spirit on the Internet.
In that case, the granular spirit could be formed under specific conditions. As Lao Gu said, the probability of that case was simply several times more difficult than winning five five-million-dollar lottery tickets in a row.
Ling Fan collected all the clues together. He felt that as long as Zheng Long and Peng Fei were connected, the case would become clear. But in the end, Zheng Long and Peng Fei, who died, were
What is the relationship between Peng Fei and Peng Fei is the key to this case, but he can't think of a more reasonable explanation other than the theory of soul resurrection.
Ling Fan looked at the white-eyed old man and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, I would like to ask you how you understand the soul. Do you think there are souls or ghosts in the world?" He suddenly wanted to know what this strange white-eyed old man in front of him thought about the soul.
understanding.
The white-eyed old man did not answer Ling Fan directly, but asked Ling Fan with a smile: "Young man, do you think there is a soul in this world?"
Ling Fan said without thinking: "No."
The white-eyed old man nodded and said with a smile: "If you don't have it, there will be nothing. If you have it, it depends on people. Everything comes from the heart. As we say: If you believe, there will be something. If you don't believe, there will be nothing."
Ling Fan didn't think about it for a moment, suddenly realized it, and said with a smile: "I see, I understand."
Ling Fan stood up and bowed slightly to the white-eyed old man, and said with a smile: "My talk with the old man today has made Ling Fan gain a lot of knowledge. After finishing the case, Ling Fan will definitely come to visit again and listen to his teachings."
." Then he nodded towards Xiao Yu and Tian Yu, and the three of them left the white-eyed old man's room.
But just when Ling Fan was about to leave the door, the white-eyed old man suddenly said: "Young man, from the moment you entered the door, I noticed that you have a dark face and a faint evil aura emerging from your body. You are born with extraordinary talents, but there are many problems in your life.
There will be three great calamities of blood and light, and the first calamity will appear in the near future."
