    When traveling north, Mo Wen kept busy. The incident in Longjun made him feel very depressed. No matter who he was, he hoped to be recognized by everyone for what he did. Even if most people didn't agree, there were only one or two people who knew him well.  It's good to be recognized, but he hasn't made many friends over the years. After Ah Jiu ascended, he couldn't even find anyone with whom he could communicate and who could understand his thoughts.  Going north for more than ten miles, a group of officers and soldiers came head-on. There were many wounded soldiers. Behind the group were many civilians carrying load carts. This group of people should be the grain transport group that had been blocked in the north of Long County.  In the evening, the two of them rested by the roadside. Since there was no dry food, Mo Wen could only go to the mountains to look for cassava, potatoes and other food to satisfy his hunger. The Liang Kingdom has been short of food in recent years, and people fish and hunt fish and shrimps in the water and wild animals in the mountains.  To satisfy hunger, it is really difficult to find food to satisfy hunger at this time.  "Master, are we going to the capital of Liang Kingdom?" Wuming was eating roasted potatoes.  "I have to go, but I'm not in a hurry. Wuming, my master has a Taoist temple located in the southeast of Jin. If you want, you can live in the Taoist temple." Mo Wen said.  Hearing this, Wuming put down the half-eaten potato and turned around in surprise, "Master, have I burdened you?" "No, if you want to go back, I will go back with you, Master. It is not appropriate to travel at this time, and sleeping in the open is too cold and hungry."  Thank you for your hard work." Mo Wen raised his hand and pinched the taro skin from the corner of Wuming's mouth.  "It's okay, it's okay. Didn't Zhuge Liang say that when heaven is about to entrust this man with a great responsibility, he must first strain his muscles and bones and starve his body and skin. Besides, I haven't starved yet while following the master." Wuming waved his hands repeatedly and continued to eat.  That potato.  Mo Wen nodded and smiled when he heard the words, "Eat quickly. After finishing the evening class, we have the evening class." As soon as Mo Wen finished speaking, he suddenly noticed an abnormal aura in the southeast. He turned around and looked back, only to see dark clouds rolling in the southeast sky. As the dark clouds approached,  Mo Wen sensed the identity of the visitor based on his breath, Ao Shu.  "Let's go, let's go, that guy is here again." Mo Wen smiled and picked up Wu Ming, put out the bonfire and hurried north.  "Is it the green dragon that I competed with you before?" Wuming asked curiously.  "It's this person. He couldn't fight me before, but he couldn't hold his breath in his heart. After he regained his freedom, he came to seek revenge on me. Don't get entangled with him, and hide quickly." Mo Wen looked around and walked towards the southwest path.  .  Hearing this, Wuming laughed and followed Mo Wen into the path.  "Master, will he anger the people in the city?" Wuming turned around frequently after walking, and the dark cloud stayed over Long County.  "The Long County defenders have already allowed the barbarians to go west. Even if he wants to get angry, he has no reason." Mo Wen said.  "Thank you for letting the barbarians go, otherwise they would be in trouble. It's a pity that they don't appreciate it. They might still hate you at this time." Wuming said.  "I told you a long time ago, no matter what you do, don't expect the other party to appreciate it." Mo Wen said with a smile.  The two masters and apprentices took advantage of the darkness and walked quickly until they reached the fork in the road in the middle of the night. To the west were endless mountains and to the north was the path leading to the village. Mo Wen and Wuming chose the path to the north.  The war between the Hu people occurred in the territory of Zhao State, and Liang State was not affected. Apart from poverty, there was no war, and there were people in the villages. At dawn, the two came to a village. This village had a large population. There should be more than two hundred people.  Households.  "Wu Ming, I'm going to find a family in the village to raise money for you. You must succeed in one fell swoop. If you are turned away, you will be punished by not eating for a day." Mo Wen gave Wu Ming a question.  "Master, this is wrong. Why are there only punishments but no rewards? What if I succeed in raising money?" Wuming asked slyly.  "It's a magic spell that I can pass on to you." Mo Wen said with a smile.  "Okay." Wuming agreed happily, turned around and walked to the first house in the south of the village and knocked on the door, "Open the door, open the door quickly." This was a large house. After Wuming knocked on the door, a servant opened the door.  .  "Why are you knocking on the door, little Taoist priest?" the servant-looking man asked Wuming.  "Master and I have been fighting monsters all night, and we are very hungry. Go and get us some food." Wuming glared arrogantly.  Seeing Wuming¡¯s unkind expression, the servant then looked at the young sleeves of Mo Daodao¡¯s robe, and hurriedly agreed, then turned around and went in to get the food.  "Master, it's done." Wuming turned back proudly.  Mo Wen couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this, "Are you asking for money or robbing?" "Of course it's for money, and I didn't do anything. I found that people are afraid of evil people, so they have to curse." Wuming smirked.  Mo Wen couldn't help but smile when he heard this. The method used by Wu Ming was undoubtedly inspired by his attitude in talking to the generals and Taoists the night before. However, his original intention of letting Wu Ming learn to observe details was so he laughed and said,  "The premise of scolding is that you can beat others. If you are not skilled enough,Please don't scold me, don't mess around, and go look for me again. This time I am looking for someone who can help me sew my Taoist robe.  " Wuming had no choice but to abandon this family and searched street by street in the village. Finally, he found a family in the west of the village. "Master, this family.  " "Why choose this one?  "Mo Wen asked, Wu Ming was looking for a small dilapidated courtyard. "The aura of herbal medicine is coming from this family, which means there are patients in the family.  Mend for you.  "Wuming explained proudly. "How do you know that the woman in this household is very skillful.  "Mo Wen asked with a smile. "The decals on the door are very exquisite. They must be made by a skillful woman.  "Wuming confidently pointed to the remaining New Year's paper-cuts on the door. "The observation is quite detailed, but not meticulous. It is the woman who is sick in this family, and there is no other woman in the family who can use needlework. Even if we help  She can't cure our illnesses, nor can she mend our clothes.  "Mo Wen nodded and said. "Master, how do you know that the sick person is a woman, and how do you know that there is no other woman in their family who can use needlework.  "Wu Ming has no doubts about Mo Wen's judgment. There is only curiosity on his face, not disbelief. "The rice is burnt.  " Mo Wen raised his finger and pointed at the wooden door, signaling Wuming to knock on the door for verification. " Wuming stepped forward to knock on the door, and a man about forty years old came out. When he saw the master and apprentice outside the door, he said "Wait a moment" and turned around to go in.  "Good people, my master can cure diseases.  "Wu Ming shouted. When the head of the household heard this, he turned around quickly and said, "This is true.  " Mo Wen used facts to prove that Wuming's words were true. He also used facts to prove to Wuming that his judgment was correct. After treating your wife, the master and the disciple went out. "There are no secrets in the world, so-called  Secrets are only for the careless. The truth must be observed and judged by oneself, not by hearsay or carelessness.  "Mo Wen took the opportunity to preach to Wu Ming. "Master, I remember it.  " Wuming responded casually. Mo Wen nodded and said again, "The universe transforms the heaven and the earth, and the way of heaven has yin and yang. The people in the world can be roughly divided into two categories. One category is the discerning people. This group of people are very careful and observe everything carefully. These people  They can all live a good life, which is their gain, but everything has both good and bad sides. Every gain must have a loss. While they live a good life, they will also live very tiredly, because being careful is a very hard work in itself.  things.  There is also a category of blind people. These people are short-sighted and are too lazy to observe carefully. They muddle along and use little thought. Therefore, they live a very easy life. This is their gain. On the contrary, because they are too lazy to observe and think, they will be used and led by people with discerning eyes.  Therefore, these people often live at the bottom of the market.  " "Master, what kind of people are Taoist priests?  "Wuming asked. "The Taoist priests are also different. Like the master, he can barely be regarded as a discerning person, but like Na Ling Yunzi, he is a blind person who thinks he is a discerning person.  "Mo Wen said. "Master, isn't it a good idea to brag about yourself?  "Wu Ming snickered. "You see, you are trapped in the routine of the world. Let me explain to you with an example. A donkey goes to the mountains to show off, and a tiger goes to the mill to grind. The essence of both is hypocrisy. You must be honest with yourself.  With a clear understanding and accurate positioning, if you are a donkey, you will be honest, and if you are a tiger, you will dominate the mountains and forests. Doing things that suit your identity is the true path of nature, you understand.  "Mo Wen asked. "Understand, it is what it is. If you don't have the ability, don't show off. If you have the ability, don't pretend to be a bear.  "Wu Ming nodded solemnly. "Yes, a Taoist should act aboveboard and aboveboard. Those officials who visit privately incognito are not bright in their hearts. They wish that someone would come to provoke him and look down upon him. Then he would reveal his identity and make the other party panic.  There are many people who practice martial arts who also have such bad habits. In fact, this is caused by vanity. When you grow up, you must not do this kind of thing. You are what you are. Don't deliberately pretend, otherwise you will be inferior and it is against the law.  Taoist teachings.  "Mo Wen said. "Master, don't worry. We'd better go back to find a family and sew your sleeves on first.  " Wuming said. After Wuming reminded him, Mo Wen realized that he had walked out of the village, so he turned around and went back, found a big house and knocked on the door to invite him in. Liu Shaoqing promoted Taoism and suppressed Buddhism in Liang Kingdom, and his Taoist disciples had a high status.  , Mo Wen asked why he was here, the head of the household hurriedly invited the master and apprentice into the house, and served tea. As the saying goes, people must ask for something when they are polite. The master's attentive attitude made Mo Wen suspicious, "Good people, please tell me clearly when you have something to say.  .  " The head of the household was a young man in his mid-twenties. Hearing Mo Wen's words, he asked cautiously, "I wonder if I can make a wedding ceremony.  " "It's done.  "Mo Wen nodded and said. In fact, a formal ceremony requires at least three people, but the way to survive the catastrophe is??No help is needed to deal with evil things.  "That's good. If you dare to ask the Taoist priest to perform rituals for your late mother, no matter whether it is effective or not, you will never be short of remuneration." said the young head of the household.  "The dead are uneasy." Mo Wen asked with a frown.  "To be honest with the Taoist priest, Yao had a miscarriage when he was born, and his mother passed away after giving birth to Yao. From the time Yao can remember, every night on Yao's birthday, he would dream of his mother standing in bed.  While crying, he asked her what was going on but said nothing. He did this every year, and even performed many rituals to no avail. "The young head of the household had red eyes and a sad look on his face.  "Good man, how do you know that the female ghost is your daughter-in-law?" Wuming asked from the side.  "After you pass away, you cannot be called your father-in-law, you should be called your heir." Mo Wen corrected him.  "Going back to the small Taoist priest and asking, Yao once told his late father about the woman's dress and appearance. According to his late father, it was her late mother. Moreover, mother and son were close to each other. Seeing his late mother crying, Yao was heartbroken.  "The head of the household raised his hand to wipe his tears.  "Good people don't need to be sad, please take Pindao to my late concubine's house." Mo Wen stood up and said.  ¡°Okay, okay, it¡¯s all thanks to the Taoist priest.¡± The head of the household stood up and led the way.  When they arrived at the courtyard, the head of the household called a servant, and the four of them went out to the east. When the villagers saw them, they gathered and followed them.  "The villagers also know about this." Mo Wen turned around and glanced at the dozen idle women and lazy men behind him.  The head of the household nodded and said, "After my late mother was buried, villagers saw her crying on her tomb from time to time." Mo Wen didn't ask any more questions, and followed the head of the household eastward. After leaving the village, he went not far east, and the head of the household walked towards the north of the road.  A patch of grass stopped in front of a tomb.  Arriving here, Mo Wen immediately noticed a weak soul energy. Although the soul energy was weak, the resentment was extremely strong.  "My late concubine really died in childbirth." Mo Wen asked with a frown.  "Seriously." The head of the household nodded repeatedly.  "Otherwise, my late concubine died in vain." Mo Wen said seriously.  After Mo Wen finished speaking, the face of the young head of the household changed drastically, "Taoist Master, please be careful." "It is indeed a wasted death, and the soul is dragged down by the body and cannot go to the underworld. Opening the coffin and seeing the sky is not enough to appease his resentment." Mo Wen said,  There is strong resentment in this tomb, indicating that the body is not rotten, but there is no corpse aura in the tomb, indicating that the body is not a wet corpse, but may have become a mummified corpse.  Mo Wen did not lower his voice when he said these words, so everyone onlookers heard his words and started talking about it.  "Taoist priest, the Yao family is clean. My late mother did die in childbirth, and everyone in the Yao family knows it," the head of the household said loudly.  "Believe me, open the coffin. If you don't believe me, it's up to you." Mo Wen said.  "If the coffin is opened, wouldn't it disturb the peace of the deceased?" The head of the household shook his head repeatedly.  "If it was really peaceful, it wouldn't cry in front of your bed." Mo Wen said.  "If opening the coffin doesn't work," the head of the household asked.  ¡°I¡¯ll behead you.¡± Mo Wen said.  Seeing that Mo Wen was so sure, the young head of the household hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind, gathering people to start digging the grave.  In the middle of the digging, Xiangyue heard the news and brought his wife and officers and soldiers. If the Yao family's grandma really died unexpectedly, it would involve a human life lawsuit.  Na Xiangyue did not believe in ghosts and gods. After arriving, he was very contemptuous of Mo Wen and Wu Ming, "Wandering in wild ways, confusing people with evil words, and confusing gods with strange powers." After a while, the tomb was dug up, and outsiders stayed outside the tomb.  People enter the tomb.  There was no big difference between the tomb chamber and other tomb chambers. A coffin was placed in the middle of the tomb chamber from north to south. Mo Wen stepped forward and opened the coffin lid, exposing a female mummy to the light of the torch.  This corpse has been dehydrated and shriveled, with its hands raised up and its facial expression very ferocious. One glance can confirm that this person died in vain.  Mo Wen glanced at Xiang Yue and turned around to leave the tomb. Na Xiang Yue hurriedly called for the corpse to be examined.  The executioner was busy for an hour. The result of the autopsy was that the woman suffered from physical exhaustion after giving birth and feigned death. Unknown to her family, she was buried in a coffin. Later, the woman woke up from the tomb and began to struggle when she found that she was buried alive, which eventually caused the air in the coffin.  Exhausted, suffocated to death, because there is no air in the coffin, so the body does not rot.  When the results were obtained, Xiangyue was very proud. He walked out of the tomb and said to everyone, "The truth has been revealed. Where are the ghosts and gods?" Mo Wen smiled when he heard this and asked, "May I ask Master Xiangyue, this person  You have indeed found out the cause of death, but please explain to us why many villagers saw a woman crying on this grave before." Hearing this, Xiang Yue frowned and looked around at the people."  "Is it true?" "Yes." All the spectators said in unison.    This time it was Mo Wen's turn to cast a contemptuous look at Xiang Yue, "If you can't explain it, don't explain it randomly, otherwise it will be self-defeating and make people laugh at you"
