Chapter 2: The Twins

In the early morning, the sun showed half of a smiling face, and the people in the side courtyard of the Yang Mansion were busy with red eyes, and a young and handsome man in Confucian clothes was pacing back and forth in the porch in front of the bedroom door, his nervous hands rubbing back and forth, also with red eyes.

"Hurry up with hot water, white cloth, be quick!". After a while, a maid ran out of the back room and called out to the maid who was guarding outside the house.

The young Confucian looked nervously at the maid who came out of the back room and asked, "Are you alive?" ”

The maid looked at the Confucian scholar with a thousand blessings, "Back to the young master, the young grandmother has not been born yet!" ”

"Oh, go and help." The Confucian sighed in disappointment, and thought to himself, 'Ah! It's been almost two days, why haven't you given birth yet! It can't be that God wants to punish my Yang family, right? ’

The Confucian scholar thought in a blink of an eye, 'No, my Yang family has never done anything harmful to heaven and reason from my grandfather to me, although my grandfather was only a county official when he was an official, he was a clean official, and he was loved by the people. His father was also a county official, and he was also as incorruptible as water. And I'm just a showman now, our Yang family has never done anything hurtful, there's no reason for God to punish my Yang family. ’

While the young Confucian was thinking wildly, thick clouds quickly gathered in the morning when the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining at the beginning of the morning, and the Confucian felt the change in light, and looked up from the porch to see the dark clouds in the sky, and he was even more worried.

The bright sky darkened, and an old woman hurried over from the main courtyard and arrived in front of the Confucian scholar, "Qingyun, hasn't Xiuniang been born yet?" ”

The young Confucian saw that he fixed his body, bowed with both hands, and said, "Go back to your mother, not yet!" ”

"It's been two days, why hasn't Xiuniang been born yet? Avalokiteshvara must bless my good daughter-in-law, Amitabha! Amitabha! ~~~~" The old woman folded her hands and read two sentences. "Qingyun, you wait outside, don't worry, I'll take a look." So saying, the old woman went into the house.

Just as the old woman had just walked into the back room, the wind was blowing, and God began to beat the drums, and the "boom" sounded like a knock on people's hearts.

The Confucian raised his head uneasily and looked at the sky full of dark clouds, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky began to turn red slowly, and after only a while, the clouds in the sky turned completely red, and a lightning explosion thundered!! ”。

The young Confucian man rubbed his eyes and wondered, 'Am I not mistaken, is it the red cloud, and the red thunder?' ’

At this time, there were three more thunderbolts, as if the anger that God had gathered for thousands of years was about to be vented at this time, and people felt as if the sky had fallen.

The two thunderbolts "crossed the rub" directly on the road in front of the gate of the manor, and the bricks and stones on the road instantly scattered from the ground in all directions, and the servants who were standing guard at the gate ran to the village in fright.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderbolt struck the village, and on the porch not far from where the Confucian scholar stood, the portico was torn apart, and the Confucian scholar's eyes were also flashed, and he saw a red light in his eyes.

God was completely angry, and with a straight sound, seven hundred and forty-nine red thunderbolts were slashed around the bedroom. All the surrounding houses collapsed.

After a long time of thunder, the red clouds in the sky rolled as if something was still brewing.

Suddenly, a red light shone through the clouds, shining on the roof of the only remaining bedroom.

At this time, the Confucian slowly opened his eyes, remembered the safety of the lady, and turned around and ran towards the bedroom.

When Confucius entered the bedroom, he was stunned by what he saw, and the red light in the room seemed to shine from the roof, shining directly on Xiu'er's smooth and protruding belly. Wen Po sat on the ground in fright, the two maids shivered against the wall, and her mother knelt in front of the bed and chanted 'Amitabha'.

The red light disappeared for a while as if it came suddenly, and Xiu'er, who was very comfortable with the red light just now, began to shout loudly again, Wen Po was the first to react, stood up and pushed down the Confucian and said, "Young master! Please get out of here, men can't come in. Only then did the Confucian scholar react from his shock and turn around and walk outside the house.

After a while, "Wow~~Wow~~" A baby's cry followed by another sound, the cry of the two babies, one after another. Wen Po hurriedly ran out of the door and said loudly: "Congratulations, young master! Congratulations to the young master! gave birth, gave birth, gave birth to two sons. ”

The anxiously waiting Confucian was pleasantly surprised: "Really? It's true? ”

"Yes, the young master is real, two sons! Check it out! Wen Po smiled and affirmed to the Confucian scholar.

The Confucian hurried to the bedroom. When he came to the room, he first greeted his happy mother, and then took over his two newborn sons from the maid's hands, looking left and right and delighted. But looking at Xiuniang, who was already very weak on the bed, she was distressed.

Holding the child and sitting down in front of the bed, he said softly to Xiuniang: "Xiuniang has suffered. Xiuniang replied weakly: "Thank you Xianggong, Xiuniang is not bitter, Xianggong, please hold our children closer to the concubine." ”

The Confucian priest hurriedly lowered the child to Xiuniang, who stretched out her snow-white hands and gently touched the delicate little faces of the two children: "Xianggong will name the two children." ”

The Confucian priest said with pity in his eyes: "Then I have to ask my grandfather and father, can you rest first?" ”

Xiuniang looked at the child and her husband in disappointment: "Okay, you can go and ask for instructions." I wish I had known what our children were called. ”

The Confucian shook his head and smiled at the lady, and walked towards his mother with the child in his arms.

After teasing the child with the mother, the Confucian priest first said goodbye, and saw the devastation of the garden and sighed. Shaking his head and sighing.

A year later, the Yang Mansion was full of friends, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him. Above the high hall, Yang Qingyun's grandfather, Yang Zengtai, Yang Lao Taishan, wearing a navy blue silk robe, wearing a square scarf and holding his beard, showed a smile on his kind face, looking at Yang Qingyun and his wife and the maid holding the child, saluting him, greeting him, and greeting his father and mother after greeting.

Yang Lao Taishan stood up and said: "Our Yang family is a single line, to your generation once twins, God is not thin on our Yang family, should burn incense to tell the sky and the ancestors, is the housekeeper incense case placed?" ”

"Master Bingtai, the incense case has been set up."

"Since the incense case has been arranged, my Yang family will sue the sky and the ancestors."

After Yang Taishan took the lead, the housekeeper said beside Lao Taishan: "The old lady should be caught by the two young masters." ”

Old Taishan nodded, and the housekeeper ordered the four mansions to carry the scriptures containing seals, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and the bed-sized pallet of pens, ink, paper, inkstones, small wooden swords, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys and other utensils presented in front of Lao Taishan's eyes. Lao Taishan said to Yang Qingyun: "Grandson brought my lovely little great-grandchildren over to see my lovely little great-grandchildren's ambitions in the future." ”

Two little mischievous people who had just turned one year old faced the maid with their teeth and claws on the big pallet. Two little guys, the eldest picked up the toy to see if it was fun, threw it away, picked up the coin and threw it away, and then looked at the flower, and pressed it on it with one paw, and the flower was broken. Finally, he picked up the pen in his left hand and the small wooden sword in his right hand, where he sat and shook his hand up and down, laughing.

The second child is more elegant and directly picks up the *** family scripture and holds it and does not let go.

At this point, Lao Taishan began to look worried, and then looked worried, although only the boss chose to hold the pen, but he still held the sword.

Just when the surrounding people were talking, a door-guarding mansion came in to report: "There is a Kuang Yingyun who claims to be a real person in Yiyang, and Daoist Kuang wants to see the old man." ”

"Oh, today is the day of the full moon of my great-grandson, since there is a visit from the immortal elder, why don't you hurry up."

I saw a Taoist chief wearing a cyan robe, wearing a Taoist crown, holding a dusty hand, carrying a sword, and about 40 years old, hurried to the front of Lao Taishan from outside the gate, and said: "Amitayus Buddha!" Congratulations to old Taishan for his great-grandson. ”

Old Taishan laughed: "Happy, haha, happy, but I don't know what the immortal chief has to do today." ”

"Can Old Tarzan take a step to speak?" Kuang Daochang is auspicious to the old Taishan.

"Oh! If the immortal chief has something to say, why not say it directly? Old Tarzan asked.

"Immortal opportunities must not be leaked." Kuang Daochang mysteriously glanced at the old Taishan.

"In that case, the Immortal Elder will come with me."

Coming to the secluded study in the backyard, Old Taishan instructed the housekeeper: "Tell people to keep an eye on the house, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

"Yes! Old gentleman. "The housekeeper ordered the housekeeper to guard the left and right.

"Immortal Elder can speak now." Old Tarzan asked after sitting firmly at his desk.

"Old Taishan, the monks don't talk to each other, this way is straight to the point, I have a yang and a lineage inherited from the Warring States Ghost Valley Immortal Master, and has been a single lineage, Qing Xiu in Lizhou Yunwu Mountain." Daochang Kuang stood up and walked to the desk and said. "On the day of the birth of Lao Taishan's two little great-grandchildren, I fell two stones from outside the sky on Yiyang Mountain, and the stones outside the sky fell with red mist. The family teacher immediately started a hexagram divination and found that twin sons had landed in the world, with two hexagrams: 'Blood thunder and blood rain, the wrath of the heavenly court.' One mother and twins, the world is turned upside down. After divination, the master instructed me to go down the mountain to find the twin sons born after the blood, thunder, and blood rain, and poured all my yang and one vein into the twin sons, and then ascended to immortality. ”

"Oh! Immortal Chief, but I mean my two great-grandchildren? ”

"Exactly." Kuang Dao Chang Ji Shouhou said.

"What does the hexagram say? Did the commander ever say that it was good or bad? Yang Lao Taishan asked anxiously.

"The family teacher once said that it is difficult to determine the good fortune and evil by the order of heaven."

Old Taishan stood up from behind his desk and wrote down two hexagrams, reciting them repeatedly, scrutinizing left and right. Thinking about it, it coincided with the day of his great-grandson's birth, and he raised his head and said: "Since the good and evil are difficult to determine, and the destiny of heaven has to do it, I have to bother the Taoist to learn everything." ”

Old Taishan thought about it for a while, came to the table and bowed to Daoist Kuang: "All the troubles are Daochang." ”

Kuang Daochang took a step sideways: "As the poor Dao Venerable family master said, I didn't dare to make this great gift as Old Taishan." ”

Since then, Kuang Daochang has begun a teaching life in the Yang family for more than ten years.
