Chapter 61 The human heart

While talking, Xian'er pointed at a piece of topaz tied to the waist of the female corpse with her fingers.

The color of the Fantian Seal is a light yellow between white and yellow, but the piece of jade in front of me looks very unreal. It is really a crystal clear pure yellow, very brightly yellow, and there is not even a trace of color inside.

To be honest, if Xian'er hadn't said in advance that it was a piece of jade, I might have thought it was a piece of yellow plastic at first glance.

My master glared at Xian'er: "Who told you that Fantian Seal is made of jade?"

Xian'er smiled and faced my master, then pointed at Huang Yu on the waist of the female corpse and said, "Mr. Chai, look, is this jade a soul-focusing jade?"

My master snorted from his nose and said, "Yes. Why, do you want it?"

Xian'er didn't say anything, staring at my master with big eyes, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"The dead are the most important. The dead cannot be taken casually." My master said this, but the man came to the female corpse and took off the topaz.

My master put the jade in my hand and said to me: "This soul-raising jade was left twenty years ago. It is of little use to you, but it is very beneficial to the little fox ghost. But you remember that our generation often deals with evil corpses, and there are many opportunities to get to the tomb in the future, but you must never take anything from dead people, and you can't take anything."

When I said this, the Master's expression and tone were very serious, and I quickly nodded to Master.

In fact, I didn’t understand the meaning of Master’s words at that time. It was not until I got too many tombs that were buried in some unknown ancient tombs, there were indeed many things that were very attractive to me.

To be honest, I was not interested in those priceless underworld weapons. What interested me were some very ancient magic weapons and some ancient scrolls. But when the tomb owner buried these magic weapons and ancient scrolls deep underground, it might be because of some reason that he did not want these things to reappear.

If these things are taken out of the tomb, the consequences will be more than just one or two deaths.

Anyway, no matter what, I got my Master’s Soul-raising Jade, and the happiest person is the immortal.

My master said that this jade has been kept on the female corpse for twenty years and is quite spiritual, but its evil spirit is also very strong. I need to recite the Tao Te Scriptures every day for a hundred days to chant it before the evil spirits are transformed. In addition, my master also said that this jade can not only nourish the three souls and seven spirits of the immortal, but also restore some of her skills during her lifetime to a certain extent.

But when Xian'er saw the jade, the only thing she cared about was her appearance. She said that after being nourished by this jade for five or six years, she could get rid of the current appearance of a yellow-haired girl and return to her appearance before her death.

She also boasted to me that when she was alive, she had a peerless face and no woman in the world could compare to her.

But I wondered, wasn’t she just a fox when she was alive? Can foxes compare with humans? Foxes have four legs, while humans only have two legs.

Until I came out of the secret passage, I was still wondering about this.

After leaving the tomb, my master carefully covered the bed tightly.

Looking at the simple decorations in the earthen house, I still came to my senses. When I lived in Wangzhuang, I often came here. At that time, my master was still old Chaitou and Zuo Kang, but I never thought that under this simple earthen house, there was such an underground palace, where there was a living female corpse.

Sometimes I also wonder, maybe there are many people like my master in this world, would they also build such a small house somewhere, guarding an ancient crypt that has never been discovered by the world.

After my master covered the door panel, he took Liang Houzai and me out. Taoist Chen sat on the stool in front of the house and waited for us.

The conditions in the village are much better than before. Many village roads have been rebuilt and turned into relatively flat cement roads. Seeing these gray roads, it is difficult for me to remember the past when the village roads are gone, but I still remember where each road leads. After all these years, no matter how much the village roads are built, the village roads have not changed at all.

I followed the master's footsteps and felt that something was wrong the more I walked, because I walked along the road under our feet, and it seemed that it was Widow Liu's house at the end.

As expected, my master really stopped when he came to Widow Liu's house. While knocking on the door, he shouted into the door: "Xiao Liu, borrow some beeswax!"

Not long after, Widow Liu came to open the door. As soon as she saw my master, a very cheerful smile appeared on her face: "Uncle Chai, why are you back?"

In my impression, when I saw Widow Liu in the past, she always looked at people with a slanted eyes, and she kept talking nonstop, and her saliva flew everywhere, looking like a sarcastic and mean face.

But now, the smile on her face is not artificial at all, as if my master's visit is really a very happy thing for her.

My master also smiled at her: "Do you still have the beeswax you have left at home? I want to borrow some."

Widow Liu quickly said "yes", and then turned to the small house in the west. While she was walking, she was also saying, "What are you borrowing or not? Mr. Chai is so polite. These bees in our family are all raised by our strong family and are specially raised by Mr. Chai."

I followed my master into the yard of Widow Liu's house and found that their yard was still the same, and the beehives in the corner were still the same.

After a while, Widow Liu took a ceramic jar from the house and asked my master: "Did Mr. Chai eat it? Or should I eat something here?"

My master waved his hand and said that he had eaten it. He then slid the ceramic jar with his hands and said to me: "Two pounds of beeswax, remember it, no more or less, only two pounds."

I was a little puzzled. My master told me what this was done. When I thought about it, I realized that these beeswax were probably the materials used to refine blood.

Widow Liu saw me at this time. She said in surprise, "Eh?" and said, "Isn't this Yangyang? They have grown so big."

My master patted my shoulder and said to Widow Liu: "He is following me now and is my apprentice."

Widow Liu said "Oh" and looked at me again, without saying a word.

But I always feel that she doesn't want my master to receive an apprentice like me. Her eyes when she looks at me are a little bit of guarding.

My master and Widow Liu said goodbye briefly and took me away.

While walking on the road, I asked my master: "Master, are you very familiar with Widow Liu?" After saying that, I didn't forget to add: "She borrowed our family a hundred yuan several years ago, but has not paid it back yet."

My master suddenly stopped and looked at me and said, "Then do you think Widow Liu is a good person or a bad person."

I thought about it and responded to the master: "I can't say it, I just think she is quite annoying."

The master nodded and said to me with a smile: "Widow Liu is indeed annoying sometimes. Do you think she is sarcastic and harsh and likes to take advantage of her, right? In fact, it's no wonder that her man did a lot of evil in the village back then, but her man's family was very powerful, and the villagers dared not speak out, but she was just a little wife. The evil her man did had nothing to do with her. The villagers actually knew about this kind of thing. But when her man died, her family business was ruined, and the villagers spread all their resentment on Widow Liu."

I was a little puzzled: "Since everyone knows it has nothing to do with her, why do you still spread it on her?"

My master looked up at the direction of Widow Liu's house, and his expression became helpless: "This is the thing that is resentment. I will give you a resentment. This resentment will be planted in your heart, and I always think about returning it. If you keep holding on to this idea, even if this resentment cannot be spread to me, it will be spread to others. Widow Liu is like this. When the villagers in the village were in trouble for her, she could only endure it silently. But after the matter was over, she held a mouthful of resentment in her heart and became what she is now. For her, the villagers in the same village all owe her, but she has that kind of temperament. If others owe her, they will have to get it back no matter what."

Master’s words are very long, I can only remember it roughly, only my master later said, “Don’t look at Widow Liu like this, if someone treats her well, she will remember it in her heart and be able to repay kindness.”

My master also said that when my uncle started working on his own, he didn't have enough money and had no experience, so he had no money to hire workers after he had booked the land. At that time, Wang Qiang worked as a contractor in the city, and Widow Liu asked him to take someone to help his uncle. In the first half of the year, his uncle couldn't make money and could not pay his salary. Wang Qiang also thought about urging him, but was blocked by Widow Liu.

Because when my parents lent money to Widow Liu, they happened to encounter difficulties in their family and they could not pay back the money, but my parents never urged him. She still remembered this kindness. Wang Qiang was very filial. Widow Liu said this, but he never urged him to pay his salary. So he worked for my uncle for eight months. During that time, the wages of others were also paid from Wang Qiang's passbook.

The master said that if it weren't for Widow Liu, my uncle's fortune would have been fake, and it would have been impossible to do so.

Now Wang Qiang and my uncle are working together, and my uncle is responsible for going out to negotiate business. He is watching the land in the village, and the two of them are rich together.

Later I remembered the way Widow Liu looked at me just now. She was probably reminding herself that she had not forgotten the revenge that the villagers brought to her.

In fact, if you think about it, Widow Liu is not an exception. Most people are like her. The kindness of others will be remembered in their hearts, but they will not forget all kinds of grudges.

When we were about to reach the grave mountain, the master also said: "Human nature is very complicated. In many cases, we cannot simply judge a person with 'good, bad'. This is the case, including your master."
