For some reason, I always feel that Zhang Daoxuan's words are full of hidden meanings. He looks strange, as if he has seen through everything, but he just doesn't say it. He is like an outsider, sneering and peeling off the skin, pulling out the truth layer by layer.
Zhang Wei and his wife were completely confused, and naturally had no time to think about Zhang Daoxuan. They did whatever Zhang Daoxuan asked them to do.
First, Zhang Daoxuan asked Wei Xin to bring a large bowl, filled with one-third of water, and took out a seven-inch long silver needle to ask Zhang Wei to pierce ten fingers respectively, and squeeze three drops of blood from each finger into the bowl, not more, not less, the blood spread into the water, and soon a large bowl of blood water was obtained.
After that, Zhang Daoxuan took out a paper crane made of yellow paper. The paper crane was covered with strange symbols, and there was a red rope tied around its neck. The other end was placed in Zhang Wei's hand, and then he put the paper crane into the bowl of blood water, stretched out his slender fingers and tapped the bowl three times.
A magical scene happened.
The blood in the bowl poured into the paper crane, and in a blink of an eye, it was empty. The paper crane came to life and flapped its wings in the bowl.
Zhang Wei seemed to feel something, trembling all over, with disbelief on his face, and whispered: "My eyes just went dark, and I saw an old crooked tree. My father was crying under the tree..."
"Your blood flows out of his veins, and your bones are taken from his body. What in the world can be stronger than this love? The paper crane leads the way, the gods connect, and penetrate the yin and yang. Go!"
Zhang Daoxuan sighed softly, and his fingers "ding ding ding" knocked on the rim of the bowl three times. The paper crane "fluttered" and flapped its wings directly to the door. Because there was a door blocking the way, it landed on the handle and kept pecking at the door.
"Follow it, open wherever it pecks, and stop and kowtow wherever it lands!"
Zhang Daoxuan said behind him.
Zhang Wei hurriedly opened the door, and the paper crane immediately flew out with it.
I have to say that this paper crane is really like a living thing. It went out first and then entered the elevator, which clearly showed that it was going downstairs, but the path it took was a human-friendly one, which was much more reliable than the artificial intelligence that is currently being promoted. If it were the current navigation, it might have led people directly down from the window.
Not long after, we followed the paper crane to the green park in the community. The paper crane seemed a little lost at this time and kept circling in the air.
"It's a bit interesting. There are a lot of things in this community."
Zhang Daoxuan's eyebrows were like, and he flicked his fingers at the paper crane in the air. The paper crane immediately trembled. After a shiver, it became energetic and flew into the green forest with a "whoosh". The speed was more than one level faster than before. In the blink of an eye, it flew to a crooked old tree and landed on a branch.
"It's here
Zhang Wei lost his voice and said, "I saw my dad under this tree. "
Zhang Daoxuan waved his hand, signaling him to be silent, and took out a piece of black paper. He made a few strokes on the black paper with his fingers, and then said: "Old man, I know you can't hear the sounds of the world, but can only see the shapes of the world, so I can only convey the message to you in this way. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enemies than to create them, let alone your children? Now, their family is not at peace, and these things must be resolved. It is better to accept my decree and show up quickly! "
Every time he said a word, a series of strange white words would appear on the black paper.
I have seen this kind of words in a book at home. It is called "殄文". In fact, it is the words used by the dead. It is said to have magical powers. Ordinary ghosts can understand it, but they cannot use it. The ghosts who fully master this kind of words are very powerful.
Swish!
The black paper in Zhang Daoxuan's hand suddenly burned, and the ashes gathered and rushed under the old tree. The paper cranes on the tree emitted blood light. Under the light, a black shadow gradually emerged. It was the old man I saw. He was curled up under the tree and cried softly. The cry was so ugly that it made people's scalps numb.
Zhang Wei was scared and his face was pale, but after all, he was his father. Soon he plucked up the courage to try to shout: "Dad?"
"Don't call me dad! I don't have a son like you! "
The old man suddenly looked up, as if he was stimulated, with a ferocious and terrifying expression, his eyes glared, his eyeballs almost popped out, and he growled at Zhang Wei, frightening Zhang Wei to sit on the ground. If Zhang Daoxuan hadn't held the old man in time, I'm afraid the old man would have pounced on him.
Wei Xin was also scared, but she was bolder than her husband. She said, "Dad, you are wrong. We didn't let you down. We didn't give up on you even though you were bedridden due to a stroke. We spent so much money to treat you. You lived alone, and we were worried that you couldn't take care of yourself. We spent a lot of money to hire a nanny for you. You had good food and drink every day and someone served you. How come you resented us in the end and are still pestering us now?"
"You still have the nerve to mention a nanny? It would have been better if I hadn't been cured of the stroke and died earlier. "
The old man growled, but he seemed to have thought of something and soon calmed down. The eyes that had turned scarlet due to rage became clear again, but there was a void inside, as if the spirit and energy were dead. He ignored his daughter-in-law and just looked at Zhang Wei and laughed: "Son, when it comes to your own child, are you finally not busy? Just like me at the beginning, after your mother left you, in order to raise you, I rode a tricycle during the day and set up a stall at night. Even if I was too tired to stand, as long as you said you had something to do, I would always say, it's okay, Dad is not busy, there is time, hehehe..."
The old man laughed sinisterly, and it became more and more creepy. He changed the subject and said, "But why are you always so busy in front of me, your father? I have a stroke and am paralyzed on one side of my body. You said you are busy, just hire a nanny. I said that the nanny beat me. Sometimes I pee and poop on the bed, and even rolled up the bed sheet and threw it on my face. You don't believe it, because the nanny told you that I was old and confused, and then you believed it.
That day, I held your hand and asked you to quit the nanny. I didn't want anything, just come back to see me more often. You were stunned for a moment, said you were busy, and left just like that. The nanny still didn't leave. Later, I suddenly realized that if even the nanny was gone, it would be like tearing your face apart, and everyone would laugh at you for not caring about me.
Later, you had a child. When Wei Xin was pregnant, I took the initiative to contact you for the only time, saying that I might not have much time left and wanted to see you and your wife. You still said that you were busy. "
Zhang Wei blushed and stiffened his neck, as if he wanted to argue something, but he didn't say anything and hung his head.
Wei Xin glanced at Zhang Daoxuan and seemed to think that this Taoist priest was invited by them and would definitely help them, so he inexplicably became confident and shouted: "Even if we are wrong in a thousand ways, you shouldn't come back to entangle our children for revenge!"
"You have no right to talk to me. I have died once and settled accounts in my previous life. What do I know? "
The old man glanced at Wei Xin and said, "Zhang Wei's heart is as hard as stone, but when I said that I didn't have much time left and wanted to see you for the last time, he still felt sympathy. He is my son, I can hear it from his tone. Wasn't it you who didn't let me come? It was your mother who said that I was going to die and that my bad luck would affect the baby in my belly. You listened to her and instigated Zhang Wei, so in the end you didn't come. "
Wei Xin was speechless. She looked at Zhang Wei carefully and found that Zhang Wei was hanging his head and didn't seem to be angry with her. She was greatly relieved.
"Okay, old man, tell me the real reason."
Zhang Daoxuan probably didn't expect that so many things would be involved. With a complicated expression, he squatted in front of the old man and said, "Although you have resentment in your heart about these things, you never hate them. Otherwise, you will not become a spirit, but a fierce ghost! "
"Alas, he is my son after all. I can disown him, but how can I harm him..."
The old man sighed: "In fact, when they refused to see me for the last time, I figured it out. The so-called parent-child relationship only means that your fate with him is to watch him go away in this life, and he will tell you silently with his determination: no need to chase. "
At this point, the old man suddenly stood up, bowed three times to Zhang Daoxuan, and said: "The reason why I am willing to come out to meet them is not because I really want to settle accounts with them, but to ask you to save my grandson! "
