I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 43 Madness
In the gloomy sky, white catkins suddenly fell, few at first, then disappeared when they landed, and in a short while, they became dense, covering the earth layer by layer in white.

In the howling of the cold wind, there seemed to be bursts of mourning and joy.

In the courtyard of the Song Mansion, Jin Da, who was guarding the young lady's practice, twitched his ears, looked to the west, and then looked at the young lady who was meditating with closed eyes in the courtyard, but did not move.

An hour later.

The figure's eyelashes moved slightly, and a few flakes of hoarfrost rolled down.

Song Yushan opened her eyes and found that the world had changed color. She bounced off the snow on her body: "Is it snowing?"

"Chen Shi started to play." Jin Da said.

"Uncle Jin, I seem to have heard sorrow and music just now?" Song Yushan asked.

Jin Da nodded: "It came from the west, the person who just reported the funeral has already arrived."

Song Yushan's heart skipped a beat.

"At the end of noon, Miss Lu's family left." Jin Da said, "My condolences."

In fact, he had expected it long ago, but after hearing the news, Song Yushan's heart was still very heavy.

Last year, Lu Shibo's family took Lu's sister to the county to seek medical treatment, and they came back at the end of spring.

The able men and strangers in the county city failed to cure Sister Lu, but only eased her physical torture.

At that time, everyone knew that Miss Lu's family would not live long.

It's the cold winter months, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I thought she would be able to survive another year, but I didn't expect that she would go there when there were only two days left before the Spring Festival.

It's a pity to be 17 years old and a jade-like person.

Song Yushan looked at the sky and just arrived at Shenshi: "Uncle Jin, I'll go to Lu Mansion."

"It's snowing today, I'm afraid it will get dark earlier, I'll go with Miss!" Jin Da said.

He didn't worry about Miss coming back alone at night.

"Okay!" Song Yushan also knew how powerful it was.

Leaving the big white goose to look after the house, she and Uncle Jin hurried back to their houses, changed into plain clothes, and rushed to Lu's mansion.

When I arrived at the Lu Mansion, I learned that seven days later would be the nearest suitable day for breaking the ground for a funeral, and the Spring Festival was approaching, and she was an unmarried woman, so it was not suitable to stay at the coffin home, so the coffin shed was set up in Yizhuang in the western suburbs of the county.

Song Yushan and Uncle Jin rushed to the western suburbs.

In Yizhuang in the western suburbs, there was mourning in the coffin shed of the daughter of the Lu family.

Song Yushan burned incense in front of the coffin, looked at Lu Shibo and his aunt who had aged several years this year, and said his condolences.

"Yushan, you have a heart." County magistrate Lu looked at her, and thought of his own daughters. They are all poor children. Standing up by himself, his daughter left them.

County Magistrate Lu empathized a little, and told her: "I heard that you are in a critical period of cultivation, just do as you please, don't delay your cultivation, Junlan won't mind."

"Practice?" Mrs. Lu's red and swollen eyes suddenly showed some hope, and she held her hand tightly: "Yushan, you are a practitioner, you can understand ghosts and gods, can you help us to see Junlan, and see her after she goes down. Are you doing well? Is she in the mourning hall now?"

The magistrate of Lu county raised a little expectation when he heard the words.

Song Yushan shook his head: "I haven't learned the Celestial Eye Technique yet, so I can't see ghosts and gods."

Mrs. Lu could not hide the disappointment in her eyes, and apologized to her: "You have only practiced for a long time, and it's because of your aunt, I'm sorry."

"Yushan, your aunt is just too worried about Junlan." County Magistrate Lu said.

"Uncle, Auntie, after I acquire the Sky Eye, I will definitely visit Sister Lu." Song Yushan said.

"Good! Good boy!"

Perhaps there was some hope again, and the spirits of County Magistrate Lu and Mrs. Lu were a little better.

After thinking about it, her daughter was freed from the shackles of her body, and she no longer had to be tortured by illness, which was not a bad thing for her.

When he came out of the coffin shed, it was just the right time, but it was already dark.

The cold wind was howling, Song Yushan's body was quenched to perfection, and he was practicing Yuehua Xinfa. He was most afraid of the cold, but he couldn't help shivering.

What the mother-in-law said was vivid in my ears, and Song Yu kindly mentioned it.

I don't know if she was thinking too much, but she always felt that there was something peeping at her in the dark.

"Miss, let's go home."

Uncle Jin's deep voice sounded, and Song Yushan's heart suddenly sank: "Okay."

Along the way, they walked quickly and returned to the Song Mansion.

Once the door of the mansion was closed and locked, Song Yushan breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Jin, did a ghost spy on me on the road just now?"

"No." Jin Da said: "Ghosts have no body. Except for the resentful ghosts born of resentment, the ghosts of the dead, no matter how powerful they are, dare not act recklessly in front of demons and monks who have opened their eyes. They all hide from me!"

Unexpected answer, it seems that she really thought too much, Song Yushan touched his nose: "Uncle Jin, in Lu Mansion today, did you see the ghost of Sister Lu?"

Jin Da nodded this time: "She is floating in the mourning hall, she looks very lively."

Song Yushan almost thought he heard it wrong: "Lively?"

Jin Da was not surprised at all: "Miss Lu is probably getting used to the light ghost body."

Song Yushan: "..."

My mood suddenly became heavy.

A lady who had to be supported by a servant when she walked, and had never even been out of her boudoir a few times. She was like a bird in a cage, and she suddenly became free. She no longer had to worry about passing out after walking a few steps and being called a doctor. She floated happily in the mourning hall. , fluttering in the west, it doesn't seem strange to adapt to a flexible and elegant soul state?
Death is grieving and frightening for loved ones and friends, but it may be another beginning for the deceased.

"My lady doesn't know that although ghosts look like people after death, their behavior style is very different from that of living people." Jin Da thought for a long time before using the word "crazy" to describe the mental state of ghosts.

Song Yushan was silent again.

crazy?

Totally unexpected word.

Gloomy, gloomy, sluggish, so many words, how can they be described as madness?

She confirmed to Uncle Jin again that she was indeed insane.

Song Yushan couldn't wait to open his eyes to see the "crazy" ghost that Uncle Jin said.

In two more days, the moon on her forehead will rotate for a full year, and it can reflect on her dantian.

This year, she felt a bit of the loneliness of practicing.

But in the practice day after day, she also felt that her realm was more solid.

Half a year ago, Uncle Jin learned something from listening to her lecture on the "Three Character Classic", and contributed a little merit to her.

She already has 5 points of merit, and she will use it after she breaks through and advances two days later.

In the last two days, she has become more and more careful, trying to achieve perfection, so as not to fail at the last moment.

The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the Spring Festival, is also the beginning of Maoshi.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Song Yushan began his last training in the Body Tempering Realm.

Jin Da and the big white goose were waiting by her side.

At the end of Shenshi, the moon sets in the sky, and when the frontal moon in the sea of ​​consciousness disappears, the dantian vibrates, and the moon rises in the abdomen, gradually solidifying.
