Luoyang!

In ancient times, it was called Jingluo, Luoyang, Luozhou, Henan, located in the west of Henan, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and was named after the Yang of the Luohe River, which is a famous historical and cultural city in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luoyang has a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, 4,000 years of city history and more than 1,500 years of capital history, and 105 emperors have set up Kyushu here. It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. It is an important hub of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Peony is famous all over the world because of Luoyang, known as "the thousand-year-old imperial capital, peony flower city".

In the north of Luoyang, there is a mountain named Beibi Mountain.

Although Beibi Mountain is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains, it is known as the blessed land of the immortals. Legend has it that in 520 B.C., Lao Tzu left the Tibetan room of the Zhou Wangcheng and quietly came to the Cuiyun Peak on the top of the Beibi Mountain, and built the Taiji Bagua Furnace all night, and mobilized the spirituality of heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountain, wind, and Ze in the eight directions of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui, and skillfully transported the principle of internal and external harmony, and concentrated on refining it for 9981 days. When the furnace was unveiled, with a bang, I saw ten thousand golden rays of light, straight into the sky. Lao Tzu tasted a grain by himself, and his face instantly showed purple gas, and he took off his mortal bones. So, Lao Tzu used the elixir to ignite his green ox, stepped on the back of the cow, and went out of the north mountain to Guguan to "travel west to Tianzhu to educate the Hu people".

Of course, Beibi Mountain is also the tomb of the emperor, and many ancient ancestors are buried here. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Jianyou wrote a poem: "There is little idle soil on the north mountain, and it is full of old tombs of Luoyang people." Bai Juyi left a poem of "If you don't follow Dongluoshui, who will be buried in Beibi Mountain". On the north mountain, there are the tombs of Qin Xiang LΓΌ Buwei, the original tomb of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the tombs of Sima of the Western Jin Dynasty, the tombs of the Empress Chen of the Southern Dynasty, and the tombs of the famous people of the Tang Dynasty, such as the poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty and the great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing.

The topic is a little off, and what we want to talk about today is the north of Luoyang, a small village at the foot of Beibi Mountain. The small village falls along the mountain, with the Luo River in front and the Beibi Mountain in the back. The scenery is pleasant, and the folk customs are simple. The people in the village make a living from farming, and every family has a small courtyard and a rich life.

At the east end of the village, there is a quaint courtyard, which is a bit out of place compared to the villa courtyard in the village. But the villagers have special respect for the elderly living in the house.

The old man's surname is Wang, and he usually plants some vegetables in the courtyard of the house and raises flowers. Occasionally, I will go out to travel, and I live a leisurely life.

The Wang family's mansion is like the ancient buildings in Luoyang City, a courtyard with bluestone tile houses. The periphery is surrounded by green willows, and there is a pavilion full of vines on the east side of the courtyard. There is a stone table in the pavilion, and there are black and white chess pieces randomly placed on the table, and it is believed that the old man often sits there to play chess alone. A piece of land has been cultivated on the west side of the courtyard, and the periphery is fenced with peony flowers, and some greens are planted inside.

The weather in July and August, the sun is shining, the afternoon sun is particularly abundant, and the whole small village seems extraordinarily quiet. At this time, most of the villagers are taking a nap with fans blowing fans at home.

But outside the small courtyard of the Wang family, two guests came in a hurry.

"Old king, old king! I'm not here! ”

Wang Lao, who was playing Go with a little boy in the pavilion, was stunned at first when he heard the shouts outside the door, and felt that this sound was somewhat familiar. Then he touched the white hair on his head in disbelief! He grinned and got up to open the door.

The little boy sitting opposite him, with a round face and slightly chubby, big eyes and bright eyes, looked at the old man with some wonder and asked, "Third grandfather, who is it?" I don't sleep at noon! ”

"Go! What does the little kid know, this foreign door should be your third grandfather and my old rival! Wang Lao said to the little boy with a smile and went to open the door.

There was a creaking sound and the door opened. The little boy sitting under the gazebo heard the complaining voice of the old man who had just called the door.

"I thought you old immortal couldn't get out of bed! Why did it take so long to open the door! ”

"I don't usually have people here to call the door, and it's only when the old dog in the village smells the fragrance of my yard that he stands at the door and barks twice. Who knew it was you at noon today! ”

The white-haired, somewhat skinny Wang Lao scolded the old man who came in with a smile and a smile. But seeing that the middle-aged man following behind him was still holding a little girl, he smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Ouch! It turns out that the eldest nephew is also here! Hey, hey, don't mind. Your dad and I just love to fight! ”

The later middle-aged man looked like he was about thirty years old, with a square face and a flat head, not very tall but very athletic. There was a slight haggard and sad look between his eyebrows.

He first returned a junior salute to the old man, and glanced at his father with some complaints. Hurriedly said to Wang Lao:

"Uncle Wang, our visit this time is indeed a bit abrupt, and we didn't say hello to you in advance. It's really sudden, you, help me take a look at the little girl! ”

As he spoke, he brought the little girl in his arms to Wang Lao.

Wang Lao, who was still hippie and smiling like an old naughty boy, smiled when he saw the little girl in the arms of the middle-aged man, and his face became solemn.

asked in a deep voice: "When did it start, does the little girl cry cold every day at this time?" ”

Wang Lao asked about the girl's situation while leading the way ahead.

Only then did he realize that the old man who had just called the door also had a sad face, looking a little anxious and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"It's been three days, and we've been in Shanghai to all the well-known hospitals and we haven't seen a result. That's why I decisively let Xuewen come to your side together. As you said, my little granddaughter cries out cold every day at this time, and her face is pale even when she stands in the scorching sun. Old man Wang, do you know what's going on? ”

The old man who spoke was surnamed Zhao, and he was a close friend of Wang Lao. He used to be the commander of a certain army, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was more than ten years younger than Wang. Later, he left the army and went to the sea to do business, and with his tough methods and broad interpersonal relationships, he established a great business in Shanghai, and he can be regarded as a legendary character.

The man holding the little girl behind him is his son Zhao Xuewen, who returned from studying in France to accept the family business, and the little girl in his arms is the man's daughter.

The three of them hurriedly entered the room, and Wang Lao gave the little girl a pulse, and her brows furrowed for a while, and she stretched for a while. The old man and the man around him were all anxious.

The little girl lying on the bed, her curved willow eyebrows were wrinkled, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her round little face was pale, and there was a very small red mole on her left eyebrow.

"Things aren't good, tell me about her birthday!" Elder Wang put down the little girl's hand, frowned, and asked the man beside him.

"Birthday? Yes! It was 14 p.m. on July 14, 91. The man, who was already a little anxious, hurriedly replied.

I saw Wang Lao's thumb pinching between the four fingers! He kept muttering something, and he seemed to finally know that he was willing, so he sighed and said: "No wonder this little girl is like this, today is the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the little girl started at about eleven o'clock on the night of his birthday, right?" ”

"Yes, yes. We celebrated his 6th birthday together that night, and as soon as she finished eating the cake, she started to feel a little sick. By about eleven o'clock, I was already talking nonsense! ”

The man remembered everything that happened that night, and he was also a little surprised, and the old man in front of him just pinched it and knew the specific time of the incident.

"Old Wangtou, don't sell it. What the hell is going on? ”

Zhao Lao, who had been standing beside the man, was a little impatient and asked.

"The little girl's eight characters are all yin, and it is on the day of the opening of the door on Halloween, the so-called small catastrophe in three years, and a big disaster in six years. Originally, it was the five elements of water attribute yin, and it was normal to be harassed by some little ghosts and demons! I'll banish her in a moment, and I'll get you a charm, and I'll change it every three years. ”

After speaking, Wang Lao walked towards the study on the opposite side of the room. Old man Zhao raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and followed with a fart.

"I'll just say, looking for you old man Wang, I will definitely be able to solve the problem, I thought it was a big deal, and now it seems that it is a problem for you to do it!"

"What's the matter? I'm telling you, it's a big deal. If you come tomorrow, this little girl will not say whether she can come over, and in the end she may be swallowed by the soul and die naturally! ”

Elder Wang stood in front of the desk, frightening the old man, while taking out red cinnabar and some worn-out yellow rune paper from the cabinet next to the desk.

When he said this, it really made Zhao Lao a little afraid. The probe glanced at the granddaughter on the bed opposite, raised her hand again to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and her face was a little pale.

I saw Wang Lao grinding the red ink in the inkstone, and with a slight stroke of his finger on the corner of the table, two drops of blood oozed out of a small mouth and dripped into the ink. Pick up the weird brush and write weird words on the crumpled rune paper.

After the ink with the charm dried, he picked up a talisman and said to Zhao Lao beside him, "Tell your kid to go out first." I'm going to send a few of the yin spirits back in my body for the little girl first! ”

When Zhao Lao heard a few, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly dragged his son out of the room.

In the room, only Wang Lao and the little boy remained.

The little boy, named Wang Hao, is the grandson of Wang Lao. Six-year-old this year, he is talented and studious, and likes to live in a small village with Wang Lao. At a young age, Shi Dali was able to write poems and follow the old man to play Go.

What's more, its heavenly court is full, the eight characters are all yin, and the root bones are peculiar, which is the genius of the Daomen. The old man kept it by his side in order to inherit the mantle.

Wang Lao is the third brother of Wang Hao's grandfather, his third grandfather. He never married in his life and had no children. The current head of Zhengyi League, the current head of the Daomen, has devoted his life to promoting the Daomen, but unfortunately in the turbulent era, the door has fallen and only one person is left to live in seclusion at the foot of the Beibi Mountain.

Generations are constantly changing, and Wang Lao knows that he is unable to fulfill the last wishes of his ancestors, although he can't bear to involve his children and grandchildren. But in the dark, the best gift God gave him was this little grandson.

The so-called good doctors cannot heal themselves, and those who are good at divination cannot know themselves. The old man opened a fortune for his little grandson, but it was a fog. Only such a person, whose future is uncertain and changing all the time, is suitable for Qimen Shushu. Because their fate is unknowable, they are unknowable, they can only come out step by step!
