After a while of silence in the ward, the nurse came back and drove us out. After leaving the hospital gate, I asked Yan Xiang if there was any way to remove the Night Demon Eye
Minister Yan was still in deep thought and didn't answer. He stayed on the steps outside the hospital for a long time before waving his hand and motioning me to get in the car with him.
I can't stand people who are so cunning. Is there any way to say something? Isn't it boring to death? I don't know him well, so I didn't ask him any more. I just followed him into the car.
Yan Xiang said nothing until he drove the car to the door of a restaurant. Then he said to me, "Let's have a drink. We haven't seen each other for such a long time."
The restaurant is very clean and unique. It's almost nine o'clock now, and there are still a few tables of people eating. We found a corner to sit down, ordered a few dishes, a bottle of white wine and a bottle of drink. Yan Xiang was driving today and couldn't drink, so he had to accompany me with a few sips of drink. I haven't drunk for a long time, and I have been troubled by one thing after another in the past two days. I don't need him to accompany me, so I poured myself two glasses first.
The hot stream flowed through the esophagus into the stomach, and I felt indescribably refreshed. I simply didn't use a wine glass, but poured it into a tea bowl. In the army, we drank wine in large teacups, which could hold a pound of liquor, making it more refreshing.
After I drank two bowls in a row and felt a little tipsy, Minister Yan told me about the Night Demon Eye.
He said that he had encountered such a strange thing when he was young, and his master even lost his life for it. His hometown is Henan. He was only fifteen years old when he became a disciple to learn this trade. Because his family was poor, although the craft of Yin-Yang master could not make money in that era, it could at least make a living. His master was a very famous Yin-Yang master in the local area. At that time, many people wanted to be his disciples to beg for food. But the old man had a very strange temper. He had to choose the person to teach, that is, to look at the child's aptitude. If the child was not enlightened or had no spiritual roots, it would be useless to teach.
This is the same reason why I said Wang Zijun is not suitable for learning Taoism. It is not enough to be smart and open-minded. It also depends on one's spiritual roots and personality. Taoist disciples are most afraid of being impatient. People like Wang Zijun will not achieve anything even if they study for decades. People like Yan Xiang and Tan Qing are all experienced and calm. But evil hearts are another matter.
Yan Xiang was the only one who was chosen among many children who came to learn from his master. After learning Taoism from his master for several years, he was in his early twenties. His family was anxious for him to find a good wife, so he set up his own business and made money. With several years of hard work, he quickly established a reputation in the surrounding area and earned some money. His parents asked a matchmaker to find him a marriage partner.
When he met the girl, he liked her and decided to get married at the end of the year. A few months later, when the wedding was approaching, his mother-in-law gave birth to another son. Just a few days after the birth, he contracted a strange disease, refused to eat or drink, and became skinny, looking like Ermao. The girl's family knew that he was a fortune teller, so they asked him to take a look.
At this point, let's first talk about the girl's new brother. In the past, there was no term for family planning, and they were bound by traditional ideas. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. If there is no son in the family, there will be no way to carry on the family line, which is unfilial. The girl's family has already given birth to five girls, but they are still working hard to finally give birth to a son. There were many cases where the younger brother was more than 20 years younger than the older sister.
