Chapter 30: Fate
Seeing that he could not hide this matter from us anymore, Uncle Liu asked his daughter-in-law to close the door first, and then told us about the changes in the Liu family in the past few years.
It turned out that his stupid brother was still fine, but one day suddenly had a big fight with the family and ran out of the house. Originally, the brother also often quarrel with the family. But the family did not take him seriously because he had a bad head on his shoulders.
But that time his brother left and never came back. Uncle Liu searched for several months have not found, after the police got the only clue is that someone saw his brother seems to take the northbound train, do not know where to go.
It has been almost a year, Uncle Liu did not dare to tell the old lady, just lied to the old lady, his eldest son to work outside. The good thing is that the old lady is old enough to believe it.
After finishing the story, Mr. Liu sighed and blamed himself, saying, "My big brother's life is hard, I should have the responsibility to take care of him as a brother, after the New Year I intend to continue to look for, must find my big brother."
My father and grandparents were busy advising him, don't be anxious yet. After the New Year's Eve, they will have time to accompany him to look for him. To say that this matter can really some sin. Old Mr. Liu did countless good things in his life, why should his own children and grandchildren suffer from such separation?
But somehow I don't think so. You know, Mr. Liu should be the heir to the "Three Qing Divination", no matter how stupid he is, he should be able to figure out his brother's direction ah. This matter is definitely not so simple.
But above the dinner table I am not good to open my mouth, after all, the matter of The Book of Three Qing can not be casually divulged, the good thing is that I know there is still a chance.
After the meal, rested for a while, Liu second uncle will drive four wheels pulling us to go for the ancestors graves.
My family's ancestral tomb is exactly Mr. Liu to determine, selected in the mountains, although not really good feng shui land, but also is hidden wind and water, is the best place to bury bones in this neighborhood.
A bumpy road, to say that sitting on four wheels can really suffer, upside down my buttocks hurt, but also dead pull cold. Fortunately, it is not too far, half an hour to arrive.
I and the elders to the grave of the withered grass and so on pulled, after burning paper kowtow. I took advantage of the elders worship ancestors quietly slipped to the side of Liu Ershu, said softly to him:
Ancestor's spiritual treasure is located in the palace, six dings and six armor to its charge.
The symbol of the order of the purple clouds, I do not meet the time the dragon does not scare.
To say that the poem I am talking about is the first line of the text of the "Book of the Three Pure Ones" poem, nine uncle once told me, three books of the Three Pure Ones are recorded in three poems, and if the heir to the "Book of the Three Pure Ones" meets, this poem is the message of the meeting. What I was talking about was exactly the poem describing the Three Ching Charms.
As expected, Uncle Liu Ershi's face changed drastically when he heard this poem, and he looked at me with an incredulous look. Indeed, this poem was indeed incredible coming from a junior like me. At this time, my elders had finished paying homage and were packing up their things. Uncle Liu had to go forward to help pack up, he took two steps and then said softly with his back to me:
Must know the moralization of too clear, recognize the nine palaces for the nine stars.
Second will gossip on eight sections, a gas unified three is the authentic.
Sure enough! Uncle Liu really practiced the "Book of Three Ching"! Now I don't have to worry anymore, on the way back I thought, because I know, now even if I don't look for Uncle Liu to say, he will take the initiative to find me to talk about it.
After returning to the Liu family, my elders took the money and went around to distant relatives in the neighborhood again, however, I didn't go because I was waiting for Second Uncle Liu to talk to me.
Sure enough, after sending my father and the others out the door, Liu Second Uncle immediately sent Liu Tingting to school, then called me to the inner room and closed the door behind him. He asked me where I knew this poem from, so I simply told him a brief account of how I got the Book of Three Purities, only hiding the name of Ninth Uncle.
After listening to my story, Second Uncle Liu marveled, "Old nephew, this is truly a strange encounter for you." I thought to myself, "Of course it's a strange encounter, I think you're the only one in the world who can believe what I said.
I opened my mouth and asked him, "Second Uncle, you are also the heir to the Book of Three Purities, and are proficient in the art of divination, but why don't you know the current whereabouts of my Grand Master yet? There must be something hidden in this."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from me anymore, Uncle Liu took out two cigarettes, and after giving one to me, he lit one himself, and after taking a deep breath, he told me about the current Old Liu family and the true circumstances of the disappearance of Grand Master Liu.
Originally, when Mr. Liu in the rescue of my grandparents, returned to the mill after a year, Liu wife just gave birth to Liu, named 'Liu Xi'. Because Mr. Liu leaked too much, as the saying goes, the cycle of karma, leaking the retribution on the body of moncler outlet online Liu Xi. Mr. Liu was born with one of his three souls and seven spirits missing, so this resulted in a very low IQ, which, in today's terms, is an imbecilic child.
Seeing that the bitter fruits he had planted had come true for his son, Mr. Liu could not help but sigh long and hard in retribution, and secretly resolved that he could not let his next generation continue to learn the secret arts in the Three Qing Divinations. He decided that he could not let the next generation continue to learn the secret arts in the Three Qing Divinations. He wanted his next generation to be practical and honest. So he washed his hands of this pot of gold, removed the title of 'Mr. Yin Yang', and from now on will not help people in divination and land selection. And will be "three Qing book" buried in the family store family tree of ancestors under the table. And told Liu's wife, future generations of the Liu family not to touch the book.
From then on, Mr. Liu began to eat fasting Buddha, and every now and then for the village of each family to send rice, good things to do a lot. To say that God is also long-eyed, in Mr. Liu no longer do Mr. Yin and Yang after the third year, Liu's wife and gave birth to a big fat boy, is the second master Liu. Mr. Liu was born white and chubby, just born more than six pounds, and very healthy.
Mr. Liu was very happy, in order to make this child healthy and disease-free, Mr. Liu gave him a 'full' word, Liu Quan also really healthy and grew up.
Another two years later, Mr. Liu died, before he died already have a premonition, he as early as a month ago, he instructed all the things at home, and then choose a good graveyard for himself, he told Liu's wife, don't be sad, it's all fate. On that day, he asked Liu's wife to prepare a table of food and wine, and after he had put on his birthday suit, he asked her to accompany him to drink his last meal. With tears in her eyes, Liu's wife accompanied Mr. Liu to finish his last drink, and then Mr. Liu closed his eyes and passed away.
Mr. Liu's life is really a character, and he was a bright and upright person in his life. To the end of drinking drunken death is also in line with Mr. Liu's consistent style.
Nearby villagers because usually have received Mr. Liu's favor, so Mr. Liu's funeral time basically every family to send.
After another ten years, Liu Xi and Liu Quan grew up and reached school age. Liu Xi was born mentally handicapped, so he could not study and could only stay at home and wander around. However, God sometimes loves to tease people, don't look at Liu Xi IQ problem, but was born with a pair of unusual physical. The pupil of his right eye is white, playing a far look with cataracts, but who knows, is such an eye is the world's rare 'Yin eyes'. Folk also known as 'bad luck eye'.
It is said that this eye in the daytime when nothing can not see, as blind no doubt, but one to the sunset, will be able to see everything, three miles in a radius of the gods and ghosts can not escape his sight. It is such an eye that many cultivators can only dream of, but now it has been reborn into a retarded body. So Liu Xi began to deal with ghosts and monsters from a young age. Due to his low intelligence, when others saw him sometimes talking to himself by himself, they assumed that the boy was being silly again.
Liu's wife kept her promise to her husband, and never revealed a word to her children about the ancestral "Book of the Three Purities," but it wasn't until Liu Xi was fourteen years old that he suddenly saw a man with a yellow hat floating in through the window one night, and the foolish Liu Xi went up to talk to him and asked him who he was.
The man said to Liu Xi, "It doesn't matter who I am, but I know you have a treasure in your house. Why don't you take it out?" Liu Xi foolishly asked him, "What treasure, why don't I know?"
The man pointed to the house where his ancestors' tablets were enshrined and said to Liu Xi, "That treasure is buried in that house for the tablets, so go and take a look tomorrow." After that, he disappeared.
The next day, Liu Xi really went to that house to look for the treasure, and sure enough, he dug up a book held in a tarpaulin from the bottom of the incense case. But Liu Xi had never been to school, and with his low IQ he didn't know what the book was for. He had to wait for his brother to come home from school, and when the two brothers went out to play after dinner, he showed the book to Liu Quan and asked him what it was.
Liu Quan took a look at the tattered and torn book with six big words written in codified characters on the cover. Because Liu Quan was born smart, and because there were many ancient books left by Mr. Liu at home, he knew a lot of vocabulary since he was young. He told Liu Xi that this book was called "The Heavenly Book of Three Qing Cloths".
Liu Xi foolishly told Liu Quan what he saw last night and said it was a treasure. He asked him to read it to him. Liu Quan was also very curious, so he opened the first page and read to his stupid elder brother: the chapter of divination and calculation.
To say that the book of the three Qing how subtle, is not these two half-grown boy can understand, but this book seems to have some kind of magic in general, Liu Quan, although some read do not understand, but also deeply attracted by the content of the book, he probably understand that this is a book of fortune-telling, and think it is very interesting.
And Liu Xi listening to read from his brother's mouth those who do not know what the meaning of the text, the brain also do not know how, as if a lot of inexplicable patterns appear, like Taiji gossip, but also like the multitude of people. He could not help but exclaimed fun.
So the two brothers decided not to let anyone know, and then come to see the book every night.
