Chapter 9: Dusty Clues

After picking out these two books from a stack of old books, Wu Zhongyuan didn't immediately flip through them, he was hesitant to read them.

If these two books were helpful to him and his brother, Master had already taught them when he was alive, and the reason why Master did not teach them during his lifetime meant that learning the contents of these two books was harmful to the two of them, at least Master thought so.

But these two books should still be valuable, if they are all the remnants of feudal superstition, then the master will definitely burn them before he dies, but the master did not do that, but hid them on the ceiling, which shows that the master himself is also contradictory, feeling that he should not teach them, but he is reluctant to burn them, so he can only hide in a hidden place, whether he can find it depends on the will of God and the luck of the two.

After hesitating again and again, Wu Zhongyuan casually picked up the book of the Thirty-six Methods of Kanyu.

I just wanted to open it, but I hesitated, now is the era of science, these mysterious things are often associated with people and liars, but don't look at the gods and goddesses after looking at it.

Hesitation is hesitation, and finally it is opened, whether this thing is the wisdom of the ancients or the superstition residual poison, you have to see it before you can make a judgment, the great man once said, there is no investigation without the right to speak, first investigate, with a scientific eye, a critical attitude to objectively examine it.

The first page is a message, that is, the author may also be a transcriber to posterity, the message is written vertically, using traditional characters, the difference between traditional and simplified characters is not very big, there is no reading barrier, it is written 'come empty-handed, go alone, good and evil will be rewarded, there will be repayment, there will be repayment.' ’

"It's fair, but it's a bit pessimistic. Wu Zhongyuan muttered to himself.

The classmate who didn't sleep in the same dormitory casually answered, "Zhongyuan, what are you looking at?"

"History of the Development of Ancient Literature. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"It's about to go to war, are you sure you will do well in the exam?" The classmates said that they were going to the battlefield and referring to the upcoming college entrance examination.

"I'm sure I'm baking paste. Wu Zhongyuan turned to the second page again.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, his classmates ignored him, helped his glasses, and continued to read books.

The second page is the table of contents, which is divided into three articles, the name of the article surprises Wu Zhongyuan, the first part is to support the family, the middle part is to seek wealth and wealth, and the next part is the life and death of grace.

It's the first time Wu Zhongyuan has seen this kind of name, and it stands to reason that mysterious things are often named very tall, but the names of these pages are very popular, not good-sounding, and not detached.

The book is not thick, only dozens of pages, all of which are related to the content and methods of Kanyu, the so-called Kanyu, does not only refer to feng shui, but also includes stargazing, timing, site selection, house and many other content, for a while it is too late to read carefully, a glance and ten lines have been roughly seen, look in the clouds, only know that each page has recorded a lot of jerky content of the same type.

In detail, the main text of the book has a total of 36 pages, the first part is 27, the middle part is six, and the second part is three.

After reading the whole book roughly, Wu Zhongyuan finally understood why the author or the copyist would give such a name, these methods related to Kanyu, many of them are achieved at the cost of compromising their own lifespan, and the methods recorded in the last part are mostly some of the content that will be used in daily life, such as naming someone's child, looking at the feng shui of the house, which has little impact on themselves, helping others, making a little money, and supporting the family.

The content of the novella is more dangerous, once it is done, it is very likely to hurt itself, but it is precisely because of the danger that the effect is good, helping the dignitaries and nobles a great favor, and getting more money is naturally more, so it is called danger and wealth.

The next part is only three pages, and the records are the essence of Kanyu, there is a mysterious method of prolonging life and changing the number of qi, correspondingly, the price paid is also very large, and if you don't do it, you have to put yourself in, the reason why it is called life and death is because doing this kind of thing is no longer for money, but often to repay the great kindness of others.

After reading the 36 methods of Kanyu, Wu Zhongyuan did not remember the specific method of Kanyu, the deepest impression is that it can not give people random fortune telling, because fortune telling is classified as divination, divination is the content of the middle part of the 36 laws of Kanyu, it is a very serious and solemn thing, if the calculation is wrong, it is a leak of heavenly opportunities, at least 19 years of life, the life of the book is calculated in nine, 192939, until 99, at least 19 days, the most is 99 years, 9981, the most serious is broken to death at once.

It can be seen from this that the fortune tellers who set up stalls on the street are all liars, and those who are really capable, who will exchange their nine-day life for those ten or twenty yuan, even one hundred and eighty yuan can't do anything.

After reading the whole book, I have to make a summary and give the book a personality, but after thinking about it for a long time, it is difficult to judge whether this book is the wisdom of the ancients or the residual poison of superstition, the reason is very simple, it is impossible to determine the authenticity of the content recorded in the book, unless you try it yourself.

It's already the middle of the night, and he is the only one left in the entire dormitory who hasn't slept, and after sleeping for a while earlier, Wu Zhongyuan is not sleepy, and he took the ghost drawing talisman again.

The content of this book is even more outrageous, all of them are methods of catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, drawing talismans is only one of the more common means, and there are some strange methods, the reason why it is called ghost talismans is because most of the spells and methods recorded above come from folk accumulation, and there is a certain difference from the way orthodox Taoist priests draw talismans, so use ghost talismans to humble themselves, lest other orthodox Taoist priests encounter it, and they will be beaten up.

In addition, the copyist of this book should not be the same person as the copyist of the 36 Laws of Kanyu, because the handwriting is different. Compared with the Thirty-six Laws of Kanyu, the credibility of this book is lower, and the Thirty-six Laws of Kanyu can still be tried in person, and this can't even be tried, where to find ghosts these days.

By the time he finished reading the ghost drawings, it was already more than one o'clock in the second half of the night, Wu Zhongyuan re-bundled these books and put them under the bed, and was about to take the college entrance examination.

I got up early the next day, everything was as usual, the college entrance examination was imminent, and I couldn't finish the mock test papers.

For the college entrance examination, Wu Zhongyuan is still sure, but it is limited to being able to pass the admission score line, and other subjects are good, except for mathematics, they all say that interest is the best teacher, he is not interested in mathematics at all, but mathematics is a must for liberal arts and science.

Although he is poor, he does not have a subsidy from the school, nor does he have the help of any philanthropist, it is not that the school does not have corresponding policies, nor that no one is willing to fund him, but Lin Qingming does not let him accept the help of others, Lin Qingming always says that personal debts are the most difficult to repay, and it is best not to ask for people to deal with things that can be handled by themselves.

On the evening of the eve of the college entrance examination, Lin Qingming called and told Wu Zhongyuan that he didn't want to work in the mines in a neighboring county and wanted to go back to Huang County to work.

There has been no movement in the hospital in the past few days, which made Wu Zhongyuan feel relieved, he was most afraid that his affairs would leak out and be arrested by the relevant departments for observation and research.

The college entrance examination is coming, the candidates are like a big enemy, Wu Zhongyuan is not very nervous, he can't apply for the military academy and the police academy, he has no interest in other schools, and the university spends more money than the high school, tens of thousands of dollars a year, and the undergraduate exam has to study for four years, it is better to study for a three-year junior college, and it can also slightly reduce the pressure on the senior brother.

After the exam, the students were both nervous and excited, got together in advance to discuss what major to apply for, looking forward to fantasizing about a better college life, in this regard, Wu Zhongyuan is very inactive, the reason is very simple, everyone knows that everything will be fine when they are admitted to college, most of the so-called college students are going to fall in love, falling in love costs money, he doesn't have that spare money, and he has his own genetic abnormalities, isn't it hurting others to find a girlfriend.

However, although he has no intention of falling in love, there are female classmates who like him, not because he is handsome, and he is not the kind of handsome boy to be honest, and his academic performance can only be regarded as passable, but there are still female classmates who like him, as for the reason, he can't figure it out, maybe it's because there are few boys in the liberal arts class.

is about to leave school, the youthful movement of young boys and girls has reached its peak, the emotion of parting has evolved into emotional blindness, and the ordinary graduation and leaving school are fantasized by young boys and girls who have just opened their love into a tragic life and death parting, a small hotel outside the school, under the big tree in the school, in the dormitory, in the classroom, there are blind instinctive impulses, superficial and cheap vows.

Wu Zhongyuan received two love letters in one day, and a new mobile phone, the love writing was full of romance and touching, but after reading it, Wu Zhongyuan found that what these two girls liked was not him, he was not what was described in the other party's love letters, he was just a carrier of the other party's emotional fantasies.

The one who delivered the phone was from the same town as him, and he was also very beautiful, and the phone was in a big envelope, and in addition to the phone, there was a note, and there was only one sentence on the note, 'I don't want to lose contact with you.' ’

This confession is affectionate and direct enough, but Wu Zhongyuan still returned the mobile phone to others, the reason is very simple, this female classmate is not the first time to give a boy's mobile phone, and he has also seen this female classmate get into a different man's car from the school gate.

Not every beautiful face has a beautiful soul behind it, and not every beautiful word has a beautiful truth behind it.

Lin Qingming came, he came in a Mercedes-Benz car, and he was dressed very decently, and Wu Zhongyuan almost didn't recognize it.

Lin Qingming came and went in a hurry, said a few words briefly, left a mobile phone and two thousand yuan and left.

The Mercedes-Benz sedan is naturally not Lin Qingming's, Lin Qingming can sit because he is Zhao Dazhong's bodyguard, this Zhao Dazhong is a celebrity, engaged in real estate, the richest man in Huang County, well-known in the country, and has several companies under his command, and the company that engages in resorts in Huangjiacun is one of his subsidiaries.

It is not difficult to guess why Zhao Dazhong asked Lin Qingming to be his bodyguard, the group of ruffians who took the flower shirt with him had their legs broken, and the medical expenses were indispensable, so this matter must be reported to Zhao Dazhong.

It is not difficult to guess why Lin Qingming is willing to be Zhao Dazhong's bodyguard, for the sake of money, he will soon go to college, and the money Lin Qingming earned in the mine is not enough to pay for his tuition and living expenses.

Seeing the car disappear, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the dormitory worriedly, when the master was alive, he always warned the two not to show their martial arts in front of others, Lin Qingming did this, contrary to the master's warning, and the reason why Lin Qingming did this was all for him.

After the college entrance examination, his classmates left the school one after another, and soon the dormitory was empty, and he had nowhere to go.

The old house was still there, and he could go back every holiday, but now the old house is gone, and he is really homeless.

On the first day of the holiday, he took the initiative to find Huang Ping and told Huang Ping about Lin Qingming's situation, Huang Ping was very surprised, and did not ask, Lin Qingming did not tell her that he had come to the county seat.

Seeing that Huang Ping was depressed, Wu Zhongyuan had the heart to say something, but after hesitating and didn't say anything, what could he say to tell her to stop making futile efforts? Or let her be brave and persevere?

The vacation is very long, Wu Zhongyuan is reluctant to waste, and has the intention to find a short-term job to make some money, but it is not easy to find a temporary job, and he can't find a suitable one after a day.

When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, he had nothing to do, so he took out the bundle of old books from under the bed and flipped through them at will, he was not interested in the scriptures, and the two books that did not know whether they were the wisdom of the ancients or the superstition were not suitable to read more, and finally chose the book of the master's experience in practicing medicine, there are many real cases on it, and there are also many effective home remedies.

After reading two pages, Wu Zhongyuan found a detail, this book of medical experience was written by the master in his later years, although there is no specific time and name of the patient, but there is the age and gender of the patient and the specific symptoms.

He almost vomited blood and died when he was a child, but it was the master who cured and adopted him, and if nothing else, there will be a record in this medical experience, as long as you find this record, you can know some of your situation at that time.

In addition, the strange bones in the coffin were buried by the master himself, and this person was probably still alive when he met the master, and he had communicated with the master, otherwise the master would not be willing to give his coffin to him, and if he was lucky, there would be a record of him in his medical experience.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan began to read more quickly, and when he turned to the fourth page, he found that there were two before and after, an adult man and an eight-month-old baby, whose symptoms were poor breathing, suffocation and vomiting blood......
