Chapter 22: Days of practicing magic at Qingfeng Temple
Li Qian turned on her new phone, and as soon as she turned it on, there were 70 missed calls.
She walked into the bedroom and thought about cleaning the room. Unexpectedly, her room was very clean. She guessed that it was the senior brother who helped her clean it.
After a while, her cell phone rang. She answered the call. It was Nangong Jin.
Li Qian said: "Brother Jin, you called me, what's the matter?"
Nangong Jin said: "Why was your phone turned off for so long?"
Li Qian said: "I was in a bad mood, so I just turned off my phone."
Nangong Jin said: "You were not at Qingfeng Temple. Where have you been this week?"
Li Qian said: "Last time, after you called me, I sat in the pavilion, looking at the mist outside the railing, and then I closed my eyes and jumped down. I didn't expect that my body would be hung on a big tree when I fell, and then I fell from the tree.
There was a stone staircase extending from the cliff. Behind the stone staircase, there was a cave on the cliff. I walked in and wanted to explore the cave. Unexpectedly, after coming out of the cave, there was a tiankeng.
The ground in the tiankeng is very flat. There is a two-story wooden house on the north side, a stream, wild flowers, weeds, and a peach blossom forest. It is as beautiful as the Peach Blossom Spring in Tao Yuanming's poem.
On the bookshelf on the second floor of the wooden house, there are two Taoist books. One is "Taoist Talismans", which contains many talismans.
Another book is "Taoist Magic". Although the Taoist magic described in the book is obscure and difficult to understand, and is basically in traditional Chinese characters, I read it several times by guessing. During meditation, I actually comprehended the essence and learned all the magic and spells in the book.
I just showed the book to my master, and he said that the person who had lived in that cabin was the former abbot of Qingfeng Temple.
I have been staying in the cabin for a week and just climbed Qingfeng Mountain. "
Nangong Jin said: "Qianqian, why did you jump off the cliff?"
Li Qian said: "If you don't want to live anymore, just jump."
Her tone was calm from beginning to end, without any unnecessary emotional ups and downs.
Nangong Jin was also very conflicted. Ever since he monitored what happened in the car and their conversation when Li Qian and Fu Jingchen were in the western suburbs, he knew that Fu Jingchen was a resurrected ghost. In ancient times, Li Qian was his princess consort. This made him feel a sense of crisis.
They had a good relationship. That day, Li Qian went to the studio to find Fu Jingchen. After knowing that he was Murong Jin, Li Qian's feelings for him seemed to rekindle.
This made Nangong Jin feel anxious and worried, so he kept an eye on Li Qian. These 17 years of hard work and waiting were what Li Qian called the cost effect of silence. He knew that his behavior was wrong, but he couldn't control his emotions.
Nangong Jin was silent for a while before saying, “Qianqian, I’m sorry, I know it’s wrong to monitor you, but I can’t control my emotions.
I just love you too much, and I'm afraid that your feelings for Fu Jingchen will rekindle. I'm afraid of losing you. Can you forgive me?"
Li Qian said: "Brother Jin, I promise you that I will never see Fu Jingchen again, so just serve in the army well."
She didn't say forgiveness, but she just felt a little tired for some reason.
Nangong Jin said softly: "Then add me on WeChat, okay?"
Li Qian said calmly: "Okay."
After she hung up the phone, she added Nangong Jin on WeChat.
He passed the friend verification immediately.
Li Qian sent him a message saying: Brother Jin, you are so free all day, don’t you have to train or work?
Nangong Jin said: I train in the morning, and in the afternoon, I sit in front of the computer, which does not affect my work.
Li Qian said: I'm going to cook, let's talk when you're free.
Nangong Jin said: Okay.
In the following time, Li Qian drew talismans and practiced magic every day. In the evening, she would sit in the pavilion with Yun Jin and chat.
As long as Nangong Jin doesn't send her a WeChat message, Li Qian generally won't take the initiative to contact him.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed. During this period of time.
Li Qian has been reflecting on her own words and actions, and she is just one step away from self-examination.
One night, Li Qian was reading a book.
Nangong Jin said: Qianqian, why don’t you come to the army to find me, I miss you.
Li Qian said: Brother Jin, you will retire in two months, don't worry, I promised you, I said that I would not look for Fu Jingchen again, and I will keep my word. Since I went to Qingfeng Mountain, I have never come down the mountain.
Nangong Jin said: Then come to Tibet, I will send someone to pick you up by plane, how about that?
Li Qian said: I am afraid of heights and dare not take a plane. Tibet has altitude sickness and I have a bad heart, so I won’t come.
Nangong Jin said: Then you can come by train, the train is equipped with oxygen tanks.
Li Qian said: If you hold on for another two months, you will retire. There is no need to rush in these two months.
Nangong Jin said: Qianqian, I miss you, please take the train to come, I miss you so much that I am going crazy.
Li Qian: Okay, how about I ask the soldier to drive me to Lhasa?
Nangong Jin said: No, I don’t feel comfortable with you two being alone in a room together on the road.
Li Qian said: I always treat the soldier as an older brother.
Do you have paranoid delusions and think everyone is a bad person?
Nangong Jin said: A little bit.
Li Qian said: Brother Jin, I'll wait for you to retire and come back.
Nangong Jin finally compromised: Okay then.
Li Qian went to the pavilion on the west side, which was more than ten meters away from their yard. She saw Yun Jin was also in the pavilion.
"Big Brother, what book are you reading?"
Yun Jin said, "It's the Folk Tales."
Li Qian said: "Big Brother, I have read a book like this before. It says that if a fox spirit wants to cultivate into a human form, it must absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon on a full moon night, and also ask for wind from people, asking, do you think I look like a human?
You said that a fox spirit can really transform into a human form?"
Yun Jin said: "It should be possible. Our Taoist magic, talismans and spells can also drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts."
Li Qian had many questions, "Big Brother, foxes and humans are two different species. Foxes can transform into human form. Even in the future, with more advanced science, it will not be possible.
There is a foreign movie, I forgot the name, it is about two scientists, a couple, who are doing biological genetic research. For the purpose of the experiment, the female scientist combines her egg with animal sperm.
The hybridization gave birth to a hermaphroditic species that looked like a human, but had no hair on its forehead and had a long tail. The vertebrae of the tail were like thorns and could pierce objects. It could also fly.
Yunjin said: "The end of science is metaphysics."
Li Qian nodded in agreement, feeling that what the senior brother said made sense.
A few days later, someone called Taoist Qingfeng and said that his old mother had passed away and needed to be carried out to the cemetery for burial. More than ten people were carrying the coffin, but they seemed unable to lift it.
Taoist Qingfeng told Yunjin about the family’s specific situation and address.
Yun Jin asked Gongsun Jing to stay and take care of his master, while he and Xiao Yu went down the mountain.
Yun Jin asked Li Qian, "Junior sister, do you want to go with us?"
Li Qian thought about it and decided to go downstairs to buy some toilets as there was no spare space.
"Big Brother, I will go down the mountain with you."
They put on Taoist robes and went down the mountain. Yun Jin and Li Qian wore black and white Taoist robes, while Xiao Yu wore a light yellow Taoist robe.
Li Qian tied her hair into a bun, and went down Qingfeng Mountain with her two senior brothers. They took a taxi and went to the countryside.
After entering the village, she just followed her two senior brothers.
They followed the source of the suona sound and came to the family who was doing the business. Under the eaves, there were white banners and wreaths. On the altar in the main hall, there was a perpetual lamp lit. Next to the black coffin, paper money for the dead was burning. The whole room was filled with smoke, which was very choking.
Li Qian did not go in. She herself had a physique that attracted ghosts, so she waited for them in the yard.
Yun Jin made a hand gesture and began to chant the mantra: "The coffin is in front of the filial son hall, and the guardian Xuantan stands on both sides. First, please ask the black tiger Zhao Yuanshuai to take the whip and cut through the gates to ensure safety. The door gods will guard the left and right, and the twenty-eight constellations will protect the treasure chest. This is not a place to keep the coffin. The deceased will go to the west."
After he finished chanting the spell, the coffin bearers were able to lift the coffin this time, and their employer gave them a thousand dollars.
They returned to the city, and Li Qian went to the supermarket to buy a few packs of sanitary napkins and a few bags of snacks, then went up the mountain.
When going up the mountain, Li Qian was gasping for breath after climbing one-third of the steps.
"Third Brother, please pull me forward. I really can't walk any more."
Xiao Yu said: "Junior sister, you just don't go down the mountain often enough. Climb the stairs a few more times, and you will get used to it, and you won't be out of breath anymore."
He held Li Qian's hand and walked and stopped. It took them two hours to climb to Qingfeng Temple, which made her very tired.
