Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Surprising Clue
One afternoon, ten days after I returned from Ishimura, Crispy Meat came to my house to look for me, and I was packing my belongings. (You can find this site)
"You've just come back, where are you going?" Obviously, this kid is a little dissatisfied with my no-brainer, love-to-wander personality.
"Tianjin, since you're here, send me to the airport." I zipped up my duffel bag and said to the crispy meat very simply, and after thinking about it for a while, I said again: "When your wife gives birth, I will come back." ”
"Thank you for still remembering, that kid from Qinhuai will also come over, you are going to Tianjin anyway, so close to Beijing, with Qinhuai." As he spoke, he took out his car keys and complained, "I'm just so miserable, it's only been a few minutes, and I have to run away to take you to the plane." ”
I carried my duffel bag, grabbed the crispy meat, and said, "Okay, isn't your car your little lover?" Let you stay with your little lover for a while, why are you still not happy? Shall I come over with Qin Huai to see the situation, remember to help me take care of the house, some of my master's things are still here. ”
"Okay, how much does it cost?"
"I won't give you anything, I'll give you your unborn child, let him (her) wait for his godfather to come back and give a big gift." I said with a smile as I locked the door. ”“
When I went downstairs, Crispy Meat suddenly remembered something, and suddenly ran over to hold me, regardless of the strange eyes around me, and whispered to me: "Sanwa'er, can you help me see if my daughter-in-law is male or female in her belly?" ”
"What? What age is this, and you still play patriarchy? ”
"Fart, I like both sons and daughters, don't I want to know in advance?"
"Lao Tzu, this is the eye of the sky, not the X-ray eye, it doesn't have that function, do you think it can work?"
"Hahaha" Crispy Meat opened the car door while laughing, and then said: "Get in the car, brother, I am generous today, let you experience the charm of BMW." ”
"Go, go, don't learn to speak." With a smile on my face, I sat in the passenger seat.
Crispy started the car and said to me as he drove, "You know what? After An Yu recovered, he made a big fuss in his office, and then dug out a jar containing the child. ”
I rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and said, "That's for sure, dig it up and bury it, it's a bit of virtue for himself." ”
"He invited a few monks to deal with it, don't mention his accumulation of virtue, he can accumulate some virtue, but he has to lose on the belly of a woman." Crispy Meat scolded.
I was silent, I didn't remind An Yu of the curse, it's nothing more than a reminder and it's useless, the so-called accumulation of virtue is a virtue from the heart, it's useless on the surface, if he wakes up, I don't need to remind him, if he doesn't wake up, it's useless for me to remind him, it's his own cause and effect.
Or, this is also a kind of 'indifference' that belongs to me, others can never control your heart, and your own home will always be yourself.
"Every man has his own life." I was stunned for a while, and then I commented on this sentence, and then I didn't want to comment on An Yu's affairs, and I had nothing to do with the crispy meat.
I booked a ticket for 3:30 p.m., and after a brief goodbye to the crispy meat, the time was about to go, and this time I was about to fly to Tianjin.
On weekdays, I have always been a difficult person to communicate with strangers, so on the plane, I can't communicate with the people next to me, and after asking the flight attendant for a bottle of mineral water, I fell into deep thought.
The harvest in Shicun this time was actually quite shocking to me, although there was no very specific clue about where Kunlun was, but I was at least one step closer to the truth.
Thinking of this, I thought of the days when I went to Shicun, which was as barren as Xuanlin described, and it was the end of the century, and if I hadn't seen that kind of village with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to imagine being in such poverty.
If you want to use comparison, it's like the 'livestock village' around Heiyan Miao Village.
In that village I soon inquired about what Xuanlin's family had seen, but I was one step too late, and by the time I arrived, Xuanlin had already died, and what his parents had taken me to see was a miserable lonely grave.
"Back then, our ancestors were greedy and led to the destruction of a village, and this debt has now been completely paid off, and our family has no Xuanlin, and with my death, it will be completely gone. If you want to say that I regret it, I really regret it, why don't you just stay in this village honestly without abiding by the ancestral teachings? Yes, stay in this village, if God really wants us to go out, and thinks that we have paid off our debts, he will naturally let us go out, and now it's okay, so many generations, finally no debt. "This is what Xuanlin's father said to me in front of that lonely grave.
"You're only in your 40s, maybe you can have another child, right?" This is the only comfort I can give, it is a heartache, a heartache that a legacy is about to be broken, but there is nothing I can do.
"Resign yourself to fate, Xuanlin and I talked about your request, there are some ancient books recorded in the family, you can copy a copy this time, including our family's secret techniques, if you meet someone who is destined, pass it on, and you can't let the inheritance be broken." Xuanlin's father replied to me like this.
I can feel that all his thoughts are frustrated, Xuanlin is a tough and intelligent child, but unfortunately he is extreme, and his feelings are a little extreme.
This reminds me of myself, Master has been worried that my love is too deep-rooted since I was a child, and I am afraid that it will be sad, but he must not have thought that he is my calamity, which has made a huge change in my life, and my goal is set in the ethereal Kunlun.
I stayed in Shicun for 5 days, and spent these 5 days using a pen to transcribe some ancient books handed down by the Xuanlin family.
While transcribing, I also learned some interesting past stories about that secret art, and the specific requirements of the secret art itself, which is actually quite harsh.
This also made me know that Xuan Lin himself really didn't have the idea of using that secret technique, because the use of that secret technique really needs to cooperate with architectural design techniques, so that the secret technique can have an accurate effect.
In modern times, reinforced concrete has replaced blue bricks and red tiles, and if Xuanlin has the heart, he must go to the Department of Architecture.
This is also An Yu's luck, the secret art Xuanlin was arranged in a mess, barely half of the effect, if it was all played, An Yu might not even have time to come to see me alive and shout for help, and he would end up in the worst end.
Of course, this bureau was only laid out by Xuan Lin to work at the construction site, if he was the designer of this office building
This is also the luck and fate of innocent ordinary people, they shouldn't have retribution, they avoided it after all, even the girl who had a miscarriage saved her life, her child also got excess, and Xuanlin didn't also have a life?
These things were settled in my transcription of secret techniques and all kinds of anecdotes, and the only thing that shocked me was the family account of the Xuanlin family.
There is one of the most important clues I got, that is some of the words left by his ancestor Xuanyi, which is recorded in the family records, the original words are classical Chinese, and the translated meaning is that his Tao is passed on from Kunlun, but Kunlun is far more than he alone, he is a craftsman, and what he has learned in Kunlun is the craftsman's craft, and he deserves nothing.
He said that when Kunlun arrived, he could vaguely know that there were many descendants, the most powerful of which were the orthodox descendants of Taoism, and the benefits they got in Kunlun were the greatest.
He guessed that they might have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, have a long lifespan, and attain the Tao to purge the evil in the world, and maybe they would return to Kunlun.
In the end, it was his little idea, he had been speculating all his life about why he got Kunlun's preaching, and the final guess was that he felt that Huaxia might have a big disaster, so Kunlun preached.
I have to say that Xuanyi's speculation is very amazing, although there are exaggerations, but it is also in line with the facts, it is true that China has experienced a catastrophe, in those hundreds of years, the inheritance of many things has been broken, and the country has fallen to a very weak position for the first time.
It turns out that the way of heaven will always plant vitality and seeds, is Kunlun's preaching for this? Maybe that's part of the reason.
Xuanyi's speculation also reminds me of my ancestor, combined with various clues, it seems that my ancestor Lao Li is very likely to be a person who benefited from Kunlun's preaching, and it is also very likely that he is the orthodox Taoist successor of Xuanyi's speculation.
Has he returned to Kunlun? Among them, I also remembered the legend of Heiyan Miao Village that Ruxue told me.
All the facts are so amazing that I can't even accept them.
