Chapter Twenty-Four: The Jade Box

Everyone grows and changes for a reason, and after listening to Li Tao's words to his father, I finally understand why he became what he is today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Tao was worse than me, and his mother remarried in the spring of the second year after his father's death, and the young Li Tao had to live with his already elderly grandparents.

Relatives and friends are afraid of trouble, so Li Tao has been bullied and looked down upon by others since he was a child, but he has no choice but to endure it silently.

The poverty of life and the ups and downs of fate forced Li Tao to make himself tougher, until Li Tao's grandfather also died, leaving him and his grandmother to depend on each other.

Li Tao has become what he is today, and I don't know if he is right or wrong.

Later, I often asked myself, if I were reduced to such a field, would I also become like Li Tao? Even more than him...

Li Tao's father stood calmly in front of his son and listened to his cry quietly...

After about another five minutes, I could clearly see that the yang fire on Li Tao's shoulders was gradually igniting, and there was not much time left for their father and son to meet for the last time in this life.

Li Tao's father also seemed to notice it, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes, took a step forward calmly, stretched out his calloused hand and touched Li Tao's head on the ground, as if a century had passed, a miracle appeared, this time his hand did not pass through Li Tao's body, but really put it on Li Tao's head!

"You've grown up... Li Tao's father opened his mouth, and although there was no sound, I could read his words.

After he said this, the spirit gradually faded until it disappeared...

I know that Li Tao's father went with the wind with his expectations and entrustment for his son.

"Dad, don't worry, I will be a good person in the future, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your son!" Li Tao kowtowed three times to the air in front of him, and when he raised his head, he was already in tears...

Li Tao just knelt there, staring blankly at the place where his father had just stood, for a long time, for a long time.

It wasn't until the end, I was afraid that he would kneel for a long time and then kneel his legs, so I stepped forward and reluctantly helped him up, and when Li Tao left my house, he had already begun to stiffen his limbs and he was not very good at walking.

Seeing that Li Tao was in such a poor physical condition, I really didn't feel at ease with him going back alone, so I asked Qiu Jiawei to escort him home together.

After sending Li Tao and Qiu Jiawei away, I suddenly felt that the world was spinning in front of me, and I almost fainted to the ground at that time, but I was not worried.

Grandpa Zhang made a note in the jade box, and these symptoms are all side effects of doing these psychic rituals, I know that this is nothing, and the body will slowly recover in two days.

Although I said that, I was a child after all, and my body was very weak when I was a child, so it was not just as simple as fainting, and that afternoon, I was directly spread on the kang and fell unconscious.

Alas, I don't even know how many times I've fainted since I was a child, and I'm really unlucky.

But I don't regret what I did in the afternoon, I can let Li Tao and his dad meet, I think it's only a little bit of generational value!

It wasn't until the evening that my father was driven back by Uncle Pan, and they didn't know where to play, and they were still a little drunk.

"Little Crane, Little Crane!"

"Old Pan, what do you think of the little crane?" When my father saw me lying on the kang and couldn't wake up, he hurriedly called Uncle Pan, who was sitting in the outhouse to rest, and Uncle Pan quickly got up and went into the house to see my symptoms, and looked at the red rope scattered on the ground and the half bowl of yin and yang water with a suspicious face, and had already guessed a rough idea in his heart.

I hurriedly put the Buddhist beads that I took off and put on the kang for the ceremony, and asked my father to boil a big pot of hot water.

After everything was settled, Uncle Pan took out his mobile phone and dialed Brother Yu's house, asking him what happened at home this afternoon.

At the beginning of the period, Brother Yu was afraid of being scolded, so he refused to say it, until he heard that I was in a coma, he didn't dare to keep it anymore, and he explained everything in the afternoon.

"You're messing around! Six reincarnations, separated by yin and yang, this is the way of heaven! You are completely going against the sky, and you will be punished by heaven if you peep into the heavens! ”

Uncle Pan hung up the phone with an indignant face, and very cautiously opened the wooden box left by Grandpa Zhang that I placed in the corner of the kang, and carefully took out the old jade box from it.

Uncle Pan's fiery eyes stared at the jade box in his hand, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly stretched out his hand, as if he was treating a girl, and gently stroked the cover of the book.

When his hand touched this jade box, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if he was a little excited.

"Lao Pan, this book is Uncle Zhang's thought for Xiaohe, it's nothing, if you want to read it, open it and take a look!" Dad saw Uncle Pan's excitement, but he refused to open the book for a long time, and couldn't help but persuade him.

Who knew that Uncle Pan shook his head after listening to his father's words, and sighed softly: "I can't see it, I can't see it, do you know the origin of this book?" ”

Hearing this, my father looked at Uncle Pan with a blank face, and Uncle Pan saw that my father did not understand, and began to explain: "The Jade Box, according to legend, is written by the Eastern Jin Dynasty Taoist Xu Xun Zhenren, which brings together all kinds of divination techniques, in ancient times, we Chinese want to do things auspiciously, from politics, business, study, travel, marriage and funeral, going to the class teacher, and taking the throne to worship the sky." As small as shaving your head and getting a haircut, you want to pick an auspicious day for the zodiac. And this jade box is just the best classic of this kind of book. ”

"Xu Xun Zhenren has a wonderful point, summarizing the essence of all kinds of classics, and passing it on to the world, which is this jade box record, this book covers everything, from sacrifices, marriages, appointments, travel, opening, farming, saccades, tinnitus, dreams, bone drawings, and even cats and dogs, all kinds of strange divination techniques, cracking methods, this book is recorded."

"But later, after several circulations, this book has become incomplete, and now all the ones circulating on the market are revised editions, which have been tampered with beyond recognition by later generations, and they are not accurate at all, so there are fewer people to read."

"But!" Uncle Pan paused, and suddenly changed his words: "This book, if I read it correctly, is the real one, or even the only one!" Although it is not the original copied by Xu Xun Zhenren, its age is also old enough, so this book is extremely precious, tell Xiaohe that this book is a priceless treasure, and he must cherish it! ”

Dad was shocked after listening to Uncle Pan's words, he never expected that Grandpa Zhang, who looked ordinary on the outside, would leave me such a valuable relic.

"Yiping, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not." Uncle Pan, who was originally bold and free, spit out for some reason.

"Our two brothers, if you want to read this book, you can copy it, anyway, don't break it for Xiaohe, after all, it was my Uncle Zhang who left Xiaohe a thought." Dad mistakenly thought that Uncle Pan wanted to borrow this book, but he was embarrassed, so he took the initiative to find a step for Uncle Pan.

Who knew that Uncle Pan waved his hand when he heard this, and solemnly put the jade box back into the wooden box carefully, and locked the small wooden box.

It seems that there is a matter on his mind, Uncle Pan breathed a sigh of relief before he replied to his father: "You misunderstood, I really can't read this book, everything in this world pays attention to a cause and effect, this book is only about destined people, Xiaohe is the person who is destined, if I forcibly look at it, it is equivalent to peeping into heaven, and I will be damned!" So that's not what I'm trying to say. ”

"Then what do you have to be embarrassed about?" Dad asked puzzled.

After several hesitations, Uncle Pan finally spoke: "I have a free and uninhibited personality, and I haven't started a family yet, to be honest, I don't plan to marry a wife and have children in the future, but I think I still have some attainments in feng shui, Xiaohe is very talented in this area, and he can be psychic at such a young age, so I want to no. ”

"No! Absolutely not! Who knew that before Uncle Pan finished speaking, he was firmly rejected by his father.

"Lao Pan, I know that you take Xiaohe as your son, but Xiaohe is determined not to engage in that industry, he has often encountered strange things since he was a child, and some things are too late to hide, how can he learn that!"

Seeing that my father was firm, Uncle Pan couldn't say anything, so he asked my father to wipe my body with hot water, and put a gate stick at the door to prevent me from being harassed by evil spirits when I was weak.

When all this was arranged, it was already dark the day after tomorrow, and Uncle Pan saw that I was fine, so he told my father a few words and drove away alone.

After sending Uncle Pan away, my father looked at me sleeping, sat next to me and silently lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought alone...
