One afternoon ten days after I returned from Shicun, Surou came to look for me at my house. I was packing my luggage at that time.
"You just came back, where are you going?" Apparently this kid was a little dissatisfied with my tendency to wander around when I had nothing to do.
"Tianjin, since you're here, take me to the airport." I zipped up my luggage bag and said to Surou simply. After thinking about it for a while, I said again: "When your wife gave birth, I Will be back."
"Thank you for still thinking about it. That guy from Qinhuai will also come here. You are going to Tianjin anyway, so close to Beijing, so you can go with Qinhuai." Surou said as he took out the car keys and complained: "I am. It’s such a miserable life, it’s only been a few minutes, and I have to run away to take you to a plane.”
I carried my duffel bag, took the pork in my arms, and said, "Okay, isn't that car your little lover? Why aren't you happy if I let you stay with your little lover for a little longer? Do you want me to talk to Qin?" Huai, come over to see the situation, and remember to help me take care of the house, some of my master's things are still here."
"Okay, how much is the house-sitting fee?"
"I won't give you any money. I'll give you your unborn child and let him (her) wait for the godfather to come back and give you a big gift." I said with a smile and locked the door.
When we got downstairs, Surou suddenly remembered something and ran over to hold me in his arms. Regardless of the strange looks around him, he whispered to me: "Sanwa'er, can you help me find out if there is a boy in my wife's belly?" Is she a woman?"
"What? What age are we in, and you still play the tactic of favoring boys over girls?"
"I like farts, both my son and my daughter. Don't I just want to know in advance?"
"This is my celestial eye, not an x-ray eye. It doesn't have that function. Do you think it can work?"
"Hahaha..." Su Rou opened the car door while laughing, and then said: "Get in the car, brother, I am being generous today and let you experience the charm of BMW."
"Go, go, don't imitate Qinhuai's words." I also sat in the passenger seat with a smile.
Su Rou started the car, and then said to me while driving: "Did you know? After An Yu recovered, he went to war in his office, and then dug out a jar with a child in it."
I rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and said, "That's for sure. Just dig it out and bury it properly. This will help him gain some virtue."
"He invited a few monks to deal with it. Don't mention his merit. If he can accumulate any virtue, he will lose it on the belly of a woman." Su Rou cursed.
I remained silent and did not remind An Yu of the curse. It would be useless to remind him. The so-called virtue is virtue from the heart, and it is useless on the surface. If he wakes up, there is no need for me to remind him. If he doesn’t wake up, it’s useless even if I remind him. That’s his own cause and effect.
Or, this is also a kind of 'indifference' that belongs to me. Others can never influence your heart, and your own home is always yours.
"Everyone has his own destiny." I was stunned for a while and then commented on this sentence. Then I didn't want to comment on An Yu's matter and talk about Su Rou.
The flight I booked was for 3:30 in the afternoon. After saying a simple goodbye to Su Rou, the time was almost up. This time I was about to fly to Tianjin.
On weekdays, I have always been a person who has difficulty communicating with strangers, so on the plane, it was impossible for me to communicate with the people next to me. After asking the flight attendant for a bottle of mineral water, I fell into deep thought.
What I gained in Shicun this time was actually quite shocking to me. Although there were no very specific clues as to where Kunlun was, I was at least one step closer to the truth.
Thinking of these, I thought of the days when I went to Shicun. The village was indeed as barren as Xuanlin described. It was already the end of the century. If I had not seen such a village with my own eyes, it would be difficult for me to imagine such poverty.
If you want to use comparison, it is like the 'animal village' around Heiyan Miao Village.
In that village, I quickly found out what Xuanlin's family had seen, but I was a step too late. By the time I rushed there, Xuanlin had already passed away, and what his parents took me to see was just a miserable lonely grave.
"Back then, our ancestors caused the destruction of a village because of greed. This debt has been completely paid off now. Without Xuanlin, our family will be completely gone with my death. You want to say that I regret it, but I can't. I really regret it. Why don’t you abide by the ancestral precepts and stay in this village honestly? Yes, staying in this village, if God really wants us to go out and thinks that we have paid off our debt, he will naturally let us Go out, now you are well, after so many generations, you are finally free of debts." This is what Xuan Lin's father said to me in front of that lonely grave.
"You are only in your 40s, maybe you can have another child, right?" This is the only comfort I can give. It is a kind of heartbreak, a heartbreak that a legacy is about to be cut off, but there is nothing I can do.
"Leave it to fate. Xuanlin told me about your request. There are some records in ancient books at home. You can copy them all this time, including our family's secret skills. If you meet someone who is destined, pass them on. , we can’t let the inheritance be broken.” Xuanlin’s father answered me this way.
I can feel his despair. Xuanlin is a tough and smart kid, but unfortunately he is a little extreme in his emotions.
This reminds me of myself. My master has been worried that my love is too deep since I was a child, and I am afraid that I will be sad for my love. But he must not have thought that he is my calamity, which has caused a huge change in my life, and my goals are all in the ethereal and ethereal. Kunlun.
I stayed in Shicun for 5 days. During these 5 days, I used a pen to copy some ancient books handed down from the Xuanlin family.
While transcribing, I also learned some interesting past events about that secret technique, as well as the very specific requirements of the secret technique itself, which are actually quite demanding.
This also let me know that Xuanlin himself really had no idea of using that secret technique, because the use of that secret technique really needed to be coordinated with architectural design skills, so that the secret technique could have precise effects.
In modern times, steel and concrete have replaced blue bricks and red tiles. If Xuan Lin is determined, he must study architecture.
This is also An Yu's luck. The secret art Xuanlin arranged it in a mess at the beginning and barely exerted half of its effect. If it had been fully exerted, An Yu might not even have time to see me alive and call for help, and he would have fallen into a trap. The worst possible outcome.
Of course, this situation was set up by Xuan Lin who sneaked into the construction site to work. If he was the designer of this office building...
This is also the luck and fate of innocent ordinary people. They avoided the retribution they didn't deserve. Even the girl who had a miscarriage saved her life and her child was saved, but Xuan Lin did not Was there still a life lost
These things were settled in my transcription of secret techniques and various interesting anecdotes, and the only thing that shocked me was the Xuanlin family's family records.
One of the paragraphs is the most important clue I got. It is some words left by his ancestor Xuan Yi. This is recorded in the family chronicles. The original words are in classical Chinese, but the translated meaning is that his Taoism came from Kunlun. , but he is not the only one to benefit from the teachings passed down by Kunlun. He is a craftsman, and what he learned in Kunlun is just a craftsman's craftsmanship, and he cannot be regarded as anything.
He said that when Kunlun was introduced, he could vaguely know that there were many successors, and the most powerful ones were the orthodox successors of Taoism. They benefited the most from Kunlun.
He guessed that they might have the ability to reach heaven and earth, have a long lifespan, and attain the Tao to eliminate the evil in the world, and maybe they would return to Kunlun.
Finally, it was his little thought. He had been speculating all his life as to why he got Kunlun's mission. His final guess was that he felt that there might be a catastrophe in China, so he preached to Kunlun in order to prevent the mission from disappearing.
I have to say that Xuan Yi's guess is amazing. Although it is exaggerated, it is also very consistent with the facts. Indeed, China has experienced a catastrophe. During those hundreds of years, the inheritance of many things was interrupted, and the country also For the first time, I was reduced to a very weak position.
It turns out that the way of heaven has always planted vitality and seeds. Is the mission of Kunlun for this? Maybe that's part of the reason.
Xuan Yi's guess also reminds me of my master. Combining various clues, it seems that my master Lao Li is very likely to be a person who benefited from Kunlun's preaching. He is also very likely to be the orthodox Taoist school that Xuan Yi guessed. successor.
Has he returned to Kunlun? During this process, I also remembered the legend of the Black Rock Miao Village that Ruxue told me.
All the facts are so shocking that I can’t even accept them.
