Chen Guanxi couldn't sleep all night. One day, he heard that there was a Taoist temple on Yanshan Mountain that was very efficacious, so he ran to the Taoist temple to ask about his situation. The old Taoist priest saw his sunken eyes and stared at his face carefully.
for a long time
, and then slowly said: "Jushi Chen, it seems to me that you have lost one of the three souls and the seven souls, so you are depressed all day long and can even find it difficult to sleep. The three souls are the three souls of heaven, earth, and people, and the soul of heaven is
innate soul, innate soul
The soul is conducive to reincarnation. The earth soul is the soul of the underworld. Only those with earth souls can enter the underworld after death. Otherwise, they are endless ghosts. The human soul is the soul of a human being. Only those with human souls can live in the world. The seven souls are
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil and desire
, each of which has its own emotions, and they affect your mood. But now you have lost your joy, so you will not be happy or laugh. Lay scholar, when was the last time you laughed heartily?
Can you remember?"
Chen Guanxi thought about it, shook his head and said, "It seems that the Qinglong Army recaptured Longmen Pass. I seemed to be laughing. I don't remember either."
"Think about it more carefully."
Chen Guanxi fell into deep thought and carefully thought about the things that made him laugh. He suddenly thought that when he laughed, it was when he was in Longdu. Zhang Xiaowu made a central order and divided the generals in the palace. He had laughed at that time, as if he had already
I haven’t laughed in years.
"It's probably been a long time," the old Taoist said.
Chen Guanxi shook his head and said, "I probably haven't had anything happy recently."
The old Taoist asked: "Jushi Chen, I think you seem to have some knot in your mind. Can you tell me why you are unhappy? What exactly is this knot in your heart? If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I'll prescribe medicine for you."
The soul is of no use."
Chen Guanxi struggled for a long time, and then said: "I personally set fire to Wuguan County, causing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to be burned to death. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep at night, and I can't sleep well. What other things can make me happy?"
The Taoist priest took a breath of cold air, took out his right hand and started to calculate. But he found that the calculation became more and more amazing. After a while, he said: "Buddha? You killed too many people because of your sins? God took your soul as a punishment. I'm afraid that I
There is nothing I can do. Sorry, sorry, although fortune-telling is effective, it can’t go against the will of God.”
Chen Guanxi felt sad and asked: "Can I burn more paper money for them to atone for their sins?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, you have already taken away people's lives, even if you burn more paper money to give them, will people forgive you? God just took away your happiness."
? By not asking you to pay for them with your life, I have already tolerated you. From now on? You will have no joy and no happy events."
Chen Guanxi said: "But... I think they are punishing me? Let me live and bear the pain."
The Taoist priest shook his head and said nothing more.
Chen Guanxi sighed and left the Taoist temple. His mood became more and more sad. Sometimes he would even feel sad when he looked at people and things. When drinking with Pao Ze, because he didn't like to talk or laugh all day long, others didn't notice anything strange.
, on the contrary, I felt that he was very normal. He was just talking and laughing. Even his good brother Wang Yijin didn't notice it. He just felt that Chen Guanxi always seemed to like talking to himself these days.
Perhaps in order to make up for the wrong done to Wuguan County, Chen Guanxi became more and more kind to the young girl Yan Ling. He gave all his personal assets to Yan Ling and let her take charge of the family property.
Yan Ling, who was born as a prostitute in a brothel, was moved by Chen Guanxi and became more and more obsessed with him, but she found that he was unwilling to touch her again. At first, Yan Ling only thought that he had no energy because of military fatigue. Later, she found that Chen Guanxi had evaded him many times.
I made eye contact and realized something was wrong.
Yan Ling thought that Chen Guanxi had fallen in love with someone else, so she was sad all day long, until one day she suddenly found out that she had a future in Kwai Shui this month, and quickly asked the old woman to ask. The old woman brought an old local doctor who specialized in diagnosing the X pulse, and after diagnosing the pulse, Yan Ling
He said congratulations: "Congratulations to this madam. You are pregnant. Although it is only a month old, your pulse is stable and strong. You should be a strong young man."
"Congratulations to Mrs. Chen, congratulations to Mrs. Chen." The old woman immediately shouted, "Madam is so happy, so happy!"
Yan Ling was so happy that she immediately told Chen Guanxi in the evening. Chen Guanxi showed no surprise, but hugged Yan Ling with relief. Yan Ling thought he was very happy. Chen Guanxi told her: "Tomorrow I will advance the return home payment.
It’s like making a plan for the child’s future.”
Yan Ling asked strangely: "You will make more money in the future, so what will you pay in advance?"
Chen Guanxi said nothing.
The next day, Chen Guanxi came to the Qinglong Army Branch and asked about the officer's return home payment. The secretary was startled and said hurriedly, Mr. Chen, according to your treatment, you can get three thousand taels of silver when you return home.
But do you need to take it now? Chen Guanxi took away the three thousand taels of silver without hesitation and handed it to Yan Ling after returning home.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Xiaowu and his men went out hunting and hunted several deer. Zhang Xiaowu had the deer roasted. Everyone watched the sunset, drank wine and sang songs, recalling all the good things of that year.
Suddenly, Chen Guanxi asked Xia Ming: "What color do you think the sky is?"
"Blue, what's wrong?"
"Why do I see it's gray?"
"Impossible." Xia Ming said, "It's obviously blue."
Chen Guanxi said stubbornly: "But all I see is gray."
"You're such a stuffy guy, you can tease me." Xia Ming laughed.
Chen Guanxi shook his head and continued to eat venison. On the way back, he felt as if something was pulling on his heart. He felt very sad inside. He even felt that it would be better if an arrow flew out and shot him to death. He saw
The world is black and white, the sounds he hears are messy, and he even feels that every flower, plant, and tree is sad. He is in a very bad mood, but he has to pretend to be happy, no matter in Yan
Ling's side, or in front of his colleagues.
One day, Chen Guanxi asked for instructions to hunt pirates on the beach. Zhang Xiaowu agreed and gave him 800 elite soldiers.
Eight hundred people were lying in ambush at the beach, waiting for the Fuso pirates to appear. After waiting for a few days, the Fuso pirates finally appeared. While everyone was waiting for the Fuso people to enter the trap, Chen Guanxi suddenly pulled out his sword and rushed out. In the crowd of Fuso warriors
He started to chop and kill him.
In a desperate fighting posture, he rushed to kill without his life. The Fuso warriors were so frightened by being killed by him alone that they fled. As a result, the Qinglong Army defeated the Fuso pirates. This battle was all due to Chen Guanxi's bravery, but it was also because he suddenly rushed out and gave way in advance.
Some pirates fled after hearing the news.
The general public celebrated Chen Guanxi's merits, and Zhang Xiaowu personally awarded him a medal and made him a military commander of the Youzhou Coast Guard Battalion, specifically responsible for combating pirates.
Chen Guanxi came to the beach alone. He looked at the frozen sea and drank heavily. He couldn't help but recall his life and felt lifeless, so he slowly walked towards the sea.
