Shuzhen has been very smart since she was a child, she is good at studying, and she is also very clever. But what she didn't know was that her horoscope was also very unique.
Shuzhen's master is an immortal. One time when she was helping others with affairs, she was reciting the spell of inviting immortals to invite immortals. The immortal's family had already arrived, but she didn't come up. She was stunned for a moment, counted her fingers, and arranged for someone to watch at the door to see who was passing by the door just now.
So she found Shuzhen. Shuzhen's horoscope is very strong and unique. Not talking about ghosts and gods by her side is also to punish evil and retreat.
Later, Shuzhen became her apprentice.
Shuzhen is also very clever in metaphysics, and she has made rapid progress, especially in calculations, she has made rapid progress. From the lost chicken of the Zhang family, to the lost dog of the Li family, from trivial matters in the neighbors, to the gossip of passers-by in the streets or the news in the newspaper... Shuzhen soon became famous.
Shuzhen is full of talent, and Shuzhen's youth is just right.
There is a saying that is also very suitable here.
[At that time, she was still young, and she didn't know that all the gifts of fate had already been secretly priced.]
Then, when it came time for the war, Shuzhen's hometown fell into the flames of war.
How can there be no eggs under the overturned nest? Shuzhen lost her parents and her fiancé successively, and all the people she cherished were gone in the flames of war. Shuzhen has no way to complain, and is powerless to recover from it. She can only attribute it to "five disadvantages and three deficiencies". From then on, she was no longer as famous as before, and she no longer helped others easily.
Because of this, she was lucky enough to escape some activities to break the feudal superstition.
Because of this, she confirmed that her decision to stay away from Taoism was correct. "People in this industry have secrets, and their lives are bitter. Fate, the more you count, the thinner..." Shuzhen said.
Later, Shuzhen got married, but her marriage was not happy, and the relationship between husband and wife was very cold. At that time, there were no contraceptive measures. Shuzhen was not counted as a child who died in infancy. Four children survived. In order to raise children, Shuzhen returned to her old job after work, helping people with small things from time to time.
Of her four surviving children, one died young and one was sick.
But Shuzhen was strong. At this time, she had already separated from her husband, and the only thing missing was a divorce certificate. She didn't blame others, but worked hard, made money, and supported her family by herself, and raised her four children to adulthood by herself. It's just that she seems to blame her children's health and fate on her own industry, and when she earns enough money to support her family, she will never do anything related to metaphysics.
"So I really wanted to learn at that time, but your grandma refused to teach me." Gong Jiamu's mother smiled and shook her head: "I was not in good health. At that time, I spent the longest time at home by her side. Your aunt and the others might I don't even know how far your grandma can count."
She looked out of the window with nostalgia: "You were by my side the day your grandma left, have you forgotten?"
In his mother's narration, Gong Jiamu vaguely recalled that day.
It was supposed to be an unforgettable day, but it was strange that Gong Jiamu didn't have a deep impression of that day, even a little vague.
At that time, Shuzhen was already seriously ill. She was pale and thin. Although she looked energetic, she was very haggard. Gong Jiamu took a leave of absence from school and took the train back for a long time. The ticket was bought too temporarily, and there was only a standing ticket. She rushed to the hospital all the way, and stayed by Shuzhen's side all night. When her mother and aunt came to the hospital during the day, she was so sleepy that her eyes were dim.
Throughout the day, Shuzhen was looking out the window, as if yearning for the scenery outside, but she kept looking at whether it was the sky or the ground, as if she was focused on something there.
Seeing this, my mother left the ward and cried secretly.
Gong Jiamu asked why.
Mother said, "That's looking the way. She's already looking at the way she's going..."
At night, Gong Jiamu couldn't bear it anymore and was persuaded to go to the next bed to lie down and sleep. It was already midnight when she was woken up inexplicably. The chaotic people, Shuzhen gradually losing her breath, the footsteps of rushing to find the doctor, the muffled sound of beating on the door of the duty room...
Everything in memory has no sound, like a pantomime.
Following her mother's words, she recalled the day when she saw Shuzhen half-sitting on the hospital bed, wringing her fingers as if she was counting. Then she was sent out to buy things. Not far away, Gong Jiamu remembered that he was not wearing a coat, so he went back to get it, and heard Shuzhen tell his mother outside the door: "Xiaoyu, bring the suit that Mom prepared. It's time."
"Your grandma, it's been so many years since I counted again. This time, I counted the days when I left. She sat on the bed pinching for a long time, and then asked me to go back and get her old clothes." The mother sighed. Qi recalled: "Then that night... the person left."
The mother looked at Gong Jiamu tenderly: "I wanted to learn it when I was young, but your grandma refused to teach me. I thought she would pass it on to you."
When Gong Jiamu was young, a Taoist friend of Shuzhen came to visit her. It was a man with a natural disability, his eyes were born half-blind, I don't know if it was high myopia or what, and he needed to wear special glasses to see things clearly. It is said that that branch is working for the public, very powerful.
"Your grandma told me about her friend named Ma."
The half-blind master was also half-blind, and he was very powerful back then. There is a very serious case in the local area, and it is important to rush for time, so I asked this person to help. A dozen or so people have been arrested at the scene and came to question, but because the evidence has not yet been obtained, the time is tight and the task is heavy, and it is difficult to grasp the key points for a while.
As soon as the half-blind master came, the person handling the affairs brought over a stack of glass plates. On the plates were the palm prints of each captured person, which was completely printed on the large glass plate with red ink pad. .
The half-blind master has poor eyesight. Even though he was wearing glasses, he almost pressed his face to the glass plate. He looked at them one by one and read them all. He took out two glass plates and clicked: "These two."
So the people above wrote down the names on the two glass plates, and interrogated them intensively. Sure enough, the case was solved that day.
"And then? When I was a child, that horse came half-blind, and then?" Gong Jiamu asked curiously.
"And then..." the mother recalled, continuing to tell.
Ma Banxia came to see Shuzhen for dinner, and it seemed that she needed her help with something. As soon as he entered the door and saw Gong Jiamu who was only a few years old and hadn't gone to school, Ma Banyan was overjoyed: "Oh, Shuzhen, you have successors. This child is born with a lion bone." He pulled Gong Jiamu to look at her body. Palm prints, pinched her little arms and legs, and was very pleasantly surprised: "Shuzhen, you have to teach this child well, and the horoscope is also good, it's good."
Shuzhen smiled and didn't answer.
Within a few days after that, Shuzhen went to believe in a certain foreign religion, and was almost about to be baptized, but she didn't know why it didn't work out.
"Since then, your grandma has been on Saturdays every Saturday. Those friends of your grandma never came to the house again."
"According to my aunt, your grandma probably didn't want you to do this job or go this way, so she tried to avoid it. But believing in a certain foreign religion and resisting domestic metaphysics, this matter..." Isn't it a bit unreliable? Xiao Yining was a little confused after hearing the whole story.
Miyou thought about it seriously: "From the point of view of the results, it is still effective." She pointed to Gong Jiamu: "You see, she didn't know that she had a Baojiaxian until last year, and she never came into contact with these things. .”
Gong Jiamu was a little emotional: "My grandma has always loved me very much. She treated me the best among all the juniors. Even when she passed away, the farewell ceremony was carried out in the style of a certain foreign religion. There was no fussing and beating at all, and she howled and cried. Yes. The choir of the church was invited, and the overall situation was quite calm and peaceful. But I never thought that she was not a true believer and wanted me to avoid this way."
The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan for it.
Shuzhen's love has not been spoken out loud, but she has believed in a certain foreign religion for so many years, has been hardworking and kind, and does good deeds all her life, just so that her children will not follow the same path as her, and do not suffer like her.
In Gong Jiamu's family, Shuzhen was the only Taoist out of the ancestors, starting with her and ending with her. The beginning was Shuzhen's own decision, and so was the end.
"I have to respect my grandma." Gong Jiamu made a concluding speech: "I was always curious before. Although I didn't believe it very much, I also wanted to go with you to see those metaphysics rituals. In the future, we should talk or chat , but I won’t move forward to make do with it. My grandma worked so hard to drag me to another path, and I can’t let her down.”
Before, Gong Jiamu once said with a smile, "You two don't take me when you play metaphysics", although it was a joke, but there is no trace of sincerity in it. But now that he knew that behind his stability these years, there was another person who spent decades laying the groundwork, so Gong Jiamu made a natural decision.
"Dami, I made an appointment with you before, and I will go to watch the ceremony when you stand in the hall. If this is the case, I will not go. If I walk too much at night, I will run into ghosts. If I get involved in these things too much, it will inevitably happen. Toss in yourself. From now on, I will just listen to your stories."
Ah, I'm so angry, I was blocked after posting after 8 o'clock, and then the ban was automatically unblocked. I only found out in the middle of the night, and then changed it for a long time.
