Chapter 40 Prayers

After coming back, she put a bath towel on the mat, and Tang Ziyi lay down steadily. She thought her stomach would no longer hurt and she should be able to sleep comfortably at night, but she didn't expect that she would lie on the bed, turning over soon, and turning over again soon.

Ma Guocai was so hard that she couldn't fall asleep, and asked in a low voice: "Does your stomach still hurt?"

"Well, it doesn't hurt anymore." Tang Ziyi said.

"Then why are you going to do it?" Ma Guo asked strangely.

Tang Ziyi said unhappily: "You can try a piece of stuff underneath to see if you can fall asleep."

Uh, sleep...

………….

Although I have only been away from home for a week or two and have returned home, although my family is still as usual on the surface, they should do whatever they should do, but they can't hide the sadness in their hearts.

When I gave everyone the gifts that Tang's mother gave to everyone, my family kept saying that my mother-in-law was so polite. She bought so many things, and it seemed quite generous. My grandfather was also happy to lie on the bed. My family thought that he had found a rich and generous in-laws, and his wife was also beautiful, and he was full of blessings to him.

At this time, Ma Guo suddenly understood a sentence in his heart, every family had a difficult sutra. Who understands the depression in his heart? He didn't want to get married, but he had to make up for his grandfather's regrets in such a marriage.

Looking at my once strong grandfather, now he is bedridden. He eats and goes to the toilet on weekdays and lives in the same room.

Whenever I came back, my grandfather would always ask questions, but this time I could only say one or two words, and I lost my energy. I could only listen and sigh. The whole family was taking care of him with all their hearts and strengths. Every day, a family member took turns to accompany him in bed and made something if he wanted to eat. But every time I only ate a little bit and could never eat it again.

As the eldest grandson of the family, the two uncles always told him that if you want to be more sensible in the future, you will get married. It is also an adult and it is time for the governor. When talking about grandpa occasionally, you can't help but have red eyes.

In fact, sometimes, it was like a stone pressing on his heart, making him breathless. Many things are unstoppable, but they have to face them.

In the evening, a Taoist priest came to his home, so he was considered a Taoist priest! In this ten miles and villages, he drove away ghosts and evil spirits, asked gods and divinations, and was considered a famous person. He heard about his name when he was very young, and his surname was Zhang. I don’t know what the specific name was, so he called him Master Zhang.

After asking my father, I realized that I was invited to pray for blessings and cure diseases for my grandfather. Of course, everyone in the family understood that this was not really to cure cancer, but to do my best to do my job, and with a very small hope that a miracle would happen.

Speaking of which, it is hard to say about Taoist priests, but there is indeed something strange. I heard from my grandmother’s father talk about one thing. It was about grandma. Grandma was not a relative, but the wife the great-grandfather married later, and did not stay with them, but was raised by her and the two sons whom she and the great-grandfather later gave birth to.

I remember that when he was about seven or eight years old, he was bedridden. At first, he could speak, and could hear him when he spoke loudly. Later, he didn't know when he started, his eyes could not see or ears could not hear him. He had been lying on the bed like this for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, my hair has gone from grayish white to black. I didn’t die until two years ago. Before my death, I heard that I had not eaten anything for fifteen days, so I drank some water. I just lie in bed and died and was very painful.

Later, my father saw a talisman hanging around my grandma's neck, pulled it down and burned it, and my grandma died. It is said that this talisman has a history of at least 30 or 40 years, and it has been hanging around my neck.

Is it because this talisman made her angry, or because it happened that no one could explain it clearly? Anyway, in the countryside, you can always hear some strange rumors from the old man's mouth. Therefore, many things, people in the countryside have the mentality of believing in their existence and not being without them.

At night, the whole family chatted around Master Zhang. Most of the time, they just listened to him bragging, saying that they had gone to Hong Kong, abroad, what receptions were, how glorious they were, etc.

When the family mentioned grandpa's illness, Master Zhang just told the truth, not like a liar. After all, they are all from the same village, and they just say that they will leave their minds and pray for blessings, which may allow the elderly to live a little longer, and will not be effective in healing.

After hearing this, Ma Guochao felt that it might be a psychological hint in modern medicine, which would give everyone and patients a hint, so that they would have a stronger belief in living. In modern medicine, belief seems to really bring some miracles to people.

He stayed aside, just being the audience, and he just wanted to see if Master Zhang was really capable. He waited and waited until the twelve days before Master Zhang took out the brush to draw the talisman.

I first drew a talisman head, which was a Tai Chi diagram, and then he couldn't understand what was below. After drawing the talisman, I went outside the hall, lit incense and burned paper money, and held the burning talisman in my hand, as if I was drawing talismans in the air.

After burning the paper money, he then put the matching and palms in his palm and muttered: "I invite the Sun God, the God of God of Morality, and the Emperor of Hunyuan, and I invite the Zhengyi Chong Xuan Shen, and the Lord of Zhenyou........................

The mantra he recited was only a few words and could still understand it. It seemed that he had invited all the famous gods in the sky. The ones behind him basically made him confused.

In order to see if Master Zhang is really capable, Ma Guocai kept observing with his spiritual sense. But he found that when he was chanting these names, there would be a faint fluctuation in the air, like a breeze blowing by, and then there was no sound.

The whole family was watching. Finally, Master Zhang burned the talisman paper in his hand into a bowl of water, and then took the water to his grandfather who was lying in the room to drink.

Ma Guo sensed in his divine consciousness that in that bowl of water, there seemed to be a very thin layer of energy in the water, so weak that he could not sense it. In the divine consciousness, the energy in this bowl of water was not as strong as the slightest aura of heaven and earth that was restrained every morning. It was just that the energy was different. In the divine consciousness, the breath of prayer and wish was clearly and obviously felt, and this energy seemed to carry such a will.

Is there really a god? Or is the mantra that Master Zhang recited works? He couldn't understand. Now he hopes to find a master as soon as possible and learn Taoist things systematically. But then again, Master Zhang still seems to have some skills, no wonder he is so famous in the village.

After everything was finished, Master Zhang returned to the hall, received the red envelopes from his family, and then rode his motorcycle to leave.

It was almost midnight at this time, and the family went back to rest afterwards.
