Chapter 22: Homecoming
The way of luck is somewhat related to cause and effect, but it is different from cause and effect.
If the monk does not have many causes and effects, there will be fewer obstacles on the path of cultivation, and his cultivation will not be stuck in a certain bottleneck. Not to mention that when breaking through, he will be added to many sins and demons, so that he will fail.
To put it bluntly, cause and effect are only the factors that hinder the progress of a monk's practice.
Luck is like a talisman for a monk. With the addition of luck, the monk will be able to run rampant, even if there are many entanglements of cause and effect, at most he will not be able to cultivate an inch, but there is no misfortune of death.
However, the way of heaven is fair, rewarding merit and punishing guilty.
When a monk casts a spell, he uses his own mana to interfere with the present world, which is to disturb the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao, and it is sinful.
Even if it is to save people, it is also a disturbance. The rescued person should have died, or there was a large amount of cause and effect involved behind him, and the monk rescued him, which disrupted the normal cycle of the Heavenly Dao, and the cause and effect involved in the rescued person would always be converted into sin and inflicted on the monk himself.
The same goes for homicide.
In addition, the monks can relieve the drought for the people, but it will interfere with the normal operation of the heavens, and those creatures who like drought are also likely to die because of this, which is also a sin.
It's just that because he saved the people, the monk will reap the gratitude of the people, which is luck. With these good fortunes, it is always possible to counteract the sins that the monk has gained when he calls for wind and rain.
The monk also has many lethal spells, all of which are often added to sin.
Therefore, monks are not uncommon for all living beings, but there are very few monks who often cast spells to interfere with the present world.
However, once the monk has a lot of luck, he can safely and boldly cast spells to interfere with the present world. Even if there is a sin, the monk's luck will be reduced first, and only when the monk's luck is insufficient, will there be a blessing of heaven.
This is the reason why the monks and the sect behind them want to compete for a lot of luck.
Monk, if you can't cultivate to the Yin God Realm, you can't check your luck with your discerning eyes.
In his previous life, Zhuge Liang didn't understand this until he was middle-aged, but it was too late.
Since his debut to assist Liu Bei, he has either set fire to this one today or that one tomorrow; Either it was a southeast gale that violated the season in the cold winter, which indirectly prompted Cao Cao to fold in Chibi.
Even if he Zhuge Liang has hundreds of millions of luck, he can't withstand such a toss.
Luck is not endless, nor is it like leeks, a stubble will emerge after a stubble.
Only when a monk has made great contributions to all things in heaven and earth and to the people will he reap a batch of luck.
In his previous life, he Zhuge Liang was always tossing like this, and in the end, his luck was insufficient, and the fire in the upper valley failed again, which made his luck worse; Under the damnation of heaven, this will be on the Wuzhang Plain, and the hurried stars pray for their lives.
Otherwise, with his cultivation at that time, how could he not know in advance that his life would not be long?
How could he not send troops to attack Wei after praying for his life in Shuzhong's old nest Yuxing?
In later generations, all kinds of knowledge exploded, although they did not pay much attention to the way of luck, but they also said this.
After crossing over, he wore it on Zhuge Liang again, and after fusing the memories of the third world, if he Zhuge Liang no longer understood the magic of luck, not only would he be blind to the name of the original master Zhiduo near the demon, but even his soul in later generations would probably have no shame to face the Jiangdong fathers.
And the method of planting pox can make all the people in the world, from generation to generation, no longer suffer from smallpox, which is a great achievement.
At that time, no matter how Zhang's father and son operate, he Zhuge Liang will have a lot of luck in his account.
When Qi is used, there is little hatred, and as a monk, Zhuge Liang will never be too lucky.
What's more, he is about to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, no matter how he doesn't die in the future, there will be times when his luck is not enough. With the luck gathered by the method of planting pox, as long as he is not too dead in the future, he Zhuge Liang will never repeat the mistakes of the five zhang yuan in his previous life!
……
After the matter of Niyang, Zhuge Liang declined Zhang Zhongjing's invitation to stay for dinner, and the ox cart went straight to Longzhong and returned.
The method of planting pox, presided over by Zhang Zhongjing and his son, he Zhuge Liang only needs to enjoy his luck.
This is the main purpose of his trip to Niyang!
When the ox cart arrived in Longzhong, it was already dusk.
Longzhong is a large township that belongs to the city of Xiangyang; Zhuge is also located in Wollongong, which is deep in Longzhong and has few dwellings.
Of course, this place was originally a barren slope and did not have a name, just because Zhuge Liang was under the momentum of the master, the name of Wolong has been spread in Jingxiang, and it was called Wollongong by the villagers.
In the grass hall, Zhuge Jin looked at the girl standing next to his second brother Zhuge Liang, and his expression was a little strange.
Zhuge Liang went to Xuzhou and prepared the cause and effect between him and Lu Bu, which Zhuge Jin knew. It's just that the second brother went to Xuzhou and brought back a girl, is this the rhythm of preparing to take a concubine?
Zhuge Jun looked at Lu Qiling curiously.
"This is Lu Qiling, Lu Bu's widow, who is now homeless and is going to live in our house for a while."
Zhuge Liang explained a little embarrassed.
At present, the Zhuge family has no female dependents except for the cook Aunt Niu; Now it's a little embarrassing to suddenly have an extra girl.
"Little sister Lu Qiling, meet the eldest brother and meet the third brother!"
Zhuge Liang had just finished explaining, but Lu Qiling suddenly clasped his fists to Zhuge Jin and saluted.
Lu Qiling is a violent Lori, and her personality has always been very arrogant, during this time because of Zhuge Liang, she was restrained, and when she finally arrived at Zhuge Liang's house, Lu Da Lori's nature was slightly revealed.
What's more, Lu Qiling is not preparing to live temporarily, but permanently!
Since they are going to live permanently, Zhuge Liang's eldest brother and third brother will be acquaintances in the future. Besides, Lu Da Lori didn't have some kind of thought, so it would be better for Zhuge Liang's brother and younger brother to misunderstand!
Lu Qiling's greeting, Zhuge Jun, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, was instantly stunned, and then a little excited.
Second brother, is this the rhythm of taking concubines in advance?
Does the second sister-in-law Huang Yueying know?
When the time comes, will these two "second sisters-in-law" fight?
Zhuge Jun's small head was fantasizing at this time.
Looking at the expressions of the third brother and the eldest brother, and then looking at the smile on the corner of Lu Qiling's mouth, Zhuge Liang supported his forehead with his hand.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have brought Lu Da Lori back to Longzhong at all!
was embarrassed, but Aunt Niu came to relieve Zhuge Liang.
"Three sons, dinner has been prepared, it's time to eat!"
But Aunt Niu had already prepared dinner.
……
When there are no outsiders at home, the three brothers of the Zhuge family all eat at the same table, not in a separate meal system.
Even if a girl is added temporarily, it is too late to share the table.
The dinner of Zhuge family was quite sumptuous, five or six dishes, and a small pot of rice, but it was enough for four people to eat.
As for Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, they ate separately in the kitchen.
After the meal, Aunt Niu took Lu Qiling to arrange the room.
There are more than ten thatched cottages in the Zhuge family, and some of them are rooms for Lu Da Lori to live in.
The third brother Zhuge Jun, who is a child, also followed the past to join in the fun.
In the thatched hall of the living room and dining room, only the brothers were left for a while.
"This Miss Lu, it seems that she is not just preparing to live in our house temporarily, right?"
"Our family, we don't care about one more person to eat, but has the second brother ever thought that once the second brother and sister know that you take in a girl, what will she think, and what will be the result?"
"You know, you're not married yet!"
In front of outsiders just now, Zhuge Jin couldn't say these words with his second brother, but now he said them in one go.
Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly and replied, "It should be fine." ”
"When we came back from Xuzhou, we met my father-in-law in Suiyang, and he just urged the younger brother when he would get married, but he didn't reprimand the younger brother for taking the Lu family's sister back to Longzhong."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang changed the topic in a timely manner: "In two months, the filial piety period will be full, my father-in-law is urging the marriage of the younger brother, when is the eldest brother going to marry the eldest sister-in-law?" ”
The elder and the young are orderly, the brothers have been married, and only after the marriage of his brother Zhuge Jin can he Zhuge Liang marry Sister Huang.
Wujun Qu'a, to Xiangyang Longzhong, no less than 3,000 miles, with the traffic speed of this era, coupled with the chaotic environment, it is not easy to go back and forth, not two or three months can not be done.
If the elder brother Zhuge Jin is ready to get married before the end of the year, he will have to leave recently and go to Jiangdong to welcome his relatives.
In his previous life, Zhuge Jin cherished his two younger brothers and left them this little family business in Longzhong, and he went to Jiangdong alone to get married. Although he did not become the son-in-law of the Bu family, because he did not have any family business, his life after marriage was naturally not very happy.
This also led to their brothers, who have not been able to see each other for almost a decade.
In this life, if possible, Zhuge Liang didn't want his brother to go to Jiangdong to get married.
Therefore, when asking his brother, Zhuge Liang used the word "marry".
As a traverser, this bit of the Zhuge family's family business is not in the eyes of his Zhuge Liang. Making paper, copying books, or improving farming patterns, and copying some advanced knowledge from later generations, he Zhuge Liang can make a lot of money in this era.
No matter how bad it is, there are not only jade mines in the nearby Jingshan Mountains, but also a lot of small copper mines and iron mines. He Zhuge Liang can dig a copper and iron mine, and then mint money by himself, and within a few years, he can mint hundreds of millions of industries.
It must be known that in this era, it is not forbidden for private coinage, and the five-baht coin with sufficient copper content is hard currency!
Besides, if there is no accident, he Zhuge Liang is about to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, and money, family business, etc., are just trivial matters.
……
Hearing the second brother's words urging marriage, Zhuge Jin sighed.
Without their parents, no matter who the three brothers are, they will inevitably split up after they get married. However, their family has such a little family business, and they are all in one place, and they are still a well-off family; Once it is divided into three, it is very likely to fall into a cold family.
Historically, this is how the term "family middle" came from.
"Well, after a while, when the period of filial piety of my uncle expires, I will go to Jiangdong to get married for my brother."
After sighing, Zhuge Jin replied.
"It's just that from now on, the third brother and the birth brother will have to take more care of them, and the second brother will have to take more care of them."
Zhuge Dan, the widow of his uncle, is three or four years younger than his third brother Zhuge Jun. After the death of his uncle, the responsibility of taking care of his cousin Zhuge Dan also fell on him Zhuge Jin.
However, his cousin Zhuge had a three-year filial piety period, and at this time he was taking an old servant to live next to his uncle's tomb.
