Chapter 1: Me and the Graveyard

Next Chapter

When I was 8 years old, my parents died, entrusting me to my uncle.

My impression of my parents has faded to the point where I can barely remember what they looked like, but going to the grave every year to pay respects to my parents is a nightmare that I have lingered in my childhood and even now!

I still remember the first time I went to the grave, my uncle took my hand and stood in front of the joint burial tomb not far from the village, carrying a load of paper money, incense and candles, wine and meat.

Uncle poured good wine, laid out the meat, and lit good incense, while I snuggled up to my uncle's side in fear.

It's in our nature to be afraid of the graveyard, and I'm no exception.

Everything was calm until my uncle burned all the paper money he brought.

I will never forget that day, for the rest of my life, and even for the next life!

The sky was low and terrible, as if it were only a man away from the earth, and it was extremely dark, but there was not a drop of water.

The paper money burned to ashes on the ground, without wind, flew desperately on the grave of my parents, the wine in the cup spilled upwards as if it had been spilled upwards by a huge force, and the steamed meat spread on black lines like spider webs.

What's even more terrifying is that just a short moment later, a roar came from all directions, like a dragon's roar, like a tiger's roar, and like a ghost's wail!

Countless crows hovered over the grave from nowhere.

I didn't dare to speak, and my uncle kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

From then on, every year I had to follow my uncle to the grave, and this hellish scene was repeated before my eyes every year.

It was also since I was 8 years old, in addition to attending classes at school, my uncle would teach me some strange things every day, such as easy to learn, breaking hexagrams, watching the house, going to the ground, and so on.

My uncle has no wife and no children, and treats me as if I was his own, and treats me very well, but when he teaches me these things, he is absolutely unambiguous, and as long as he does not satisfy my uncle, I cannot sleep at night.

Later, when I went to high school, I learned that these are collectively referred to as metaphysics, also known as feng shui techniques, and our Chen family has been feng shui masters for generations, and it has been passed down for more than ten generations.

Zhuge Liang is divided into three parts of the world, and Liu Bowen dominates the country.

It is said that the ancestor of our Chen family was still a closed disciple of Liu Bowen in his later years!

In the blink of an eye, ten years later, I was eighteen years old and was admitted to university.

The day I went to college coincided with my parents' memorial day, and even though it had been ten years, I still had an indelible fear of my parents' grave.

Uncle took a deep look at me, but he didn't bring any offerings, just led me to my parents' grave after packing my bags.

To my surprise, this time there was no hellish picture, only my uncle's slightly old body standing in front of the grave.

"Get on your knees!"

Uncle shouted at me in the most serious tone ever.

I didn't dare to disobey this uncle, who was also a father and a teacher, so I quickly put my bags aside and knelt in front of my parents' graves.

"Brother, brother and sister, I took Xiao Nian to see you, and you exchanged your life for him for ten years of peace, and now ...... It's over! ”

Uncle continued, and then dug a mound with his bare hands not far from the grave.

A sandalwood box was dug up from the ground by the uncle.

And I knelt in front of my parents' graves in distraction.

What does Uncle mean by what he said? My parents paid for my life for the past ten years?

"I should teach Xiao Nian, I have already taught it, but this box has not been handed over to him, brother is useless, he can't keep my nephew safe for the next ten years, and now I can only rely on him!"

Uncle carefully wiped the dirt on the box, I had never seen Uncle so attentive.

I couldn't calm down in my heart for a long time, my parents have always been the most mysterious people in my heart, but I never imagined that the death of my parents was related to me!

In the middle of the ring, the uncle looked at me and said solemnly: "Xiao Nian, do you remember what I taught you all these years?" ”

"Yes." I nodded heavily.

"Just remember, these things are your rice bowl and the life-saving talisman of this life!"

"Uncle is not as smart as your father, he can only teach you this, you have to leave, Uncle finally let you remember a sentence."

"What you have to remember is...... Your peace for the past ten years was bought by your parents with their lives! ”

As he spoke, the uncle's eyes turned red.

I was on my knees, trembling all over.

"This box was left by your parents, and they asked me to give it to you after ten years before they died, and now that the ten years are over, you can keep it." Uncle placed the wiped clean box in front of me.

I clutched the box in my arms and burst into tears.

It was the only thing my parents left me.

"Get up, I have already paid the tuition for you, and you can figure out your own living expenses, this is the ancestral training of our Chen family, when you become an adult, you don't need to pay a penny at home."

"In addition to money, if you encounter any difficulties outside, come back to your uncle."

Uncle put his hand on my shoulder.

I reluctantly looked at my uncle, this is also the first time I have left my uncle's life, for ten years, my uncle has been my closest relative in this world.

And the uncle slowly hugged me and patted me on the back.

I only heard the sound of my uncle's choking ringing in my ears.

"Live well! Old! ”

When I heard this, my tears flowed wildly.

At this moment, I understood that I could not live like a normal person, and that my life, at the age of eighteen, was a watershed and destined to be extraordinary.

After saying goodbye to the grave, I left and got on the bus to Cloud City......

In terms of reading, I didn't work very hard, but my grades were good, and I often ranked in the top three of my grade, in my eyes, the difficulty of reading was not at the same level as the difficulty of the Chen family that my uncle taught me, so I was easily admitted to the best university in Yuncheng, Yuncheng University.

On the day I entered the university, I was assigned a single dormitory, and I wondered, shouldn't the university be a six-person dormitory, or a four-person dormitory?

Later, I learned that the single dormitory required an additional 2,000 yuan, and my uncle took the initiative to apply.

After taking a moment to pack up my clothes, I lay down in bed, had a class meeting in the evening, and the military training began tomorrow, and now I had nothing else to do, so I took out the only item that my parents had left me, the sandalwood box.

There was nothing special about the sandalwood box, and when I opened it, I found that there was a yellowed piece of paper inside, as well as a book.

I first cautiously opened the paper, only to see that there were only three sentences in it.

"The first person to help with my Chen family's peerless school must be a man!"

"Help the people of the Wang family at all costs!"

"You must not have anything to do with any of the shady people!"

In just three sentences, I watched it for more than an hour.

In the face of the last three words left to me by my parents, I didn't dare to slack off at all and completely remembered them.

Uncle said that my parents exchanged their lives for ten years of peace, and after ten years, they gave me three sentences, obviously, these three sentences are related to my life, and I must keep them in mind!

I looked at the book left to me by my parents again, and saw that on the ancient yellow book cover, there were four big characters written "The Source of the Great Road".

Uncle taught me a lot of things, but he never taught me anything, so I opened the book with great anticipation.

But after half a ring, I was stunned.

Blank?

Then I read every page, but there was no word on every page!

I couldn't figure it out, and finally put this wordless book back in the sandalwood box, what my parents left me must have a deep meaning, there are no words in the book, maybe I don't want to see it now.

Lying in bed, I thought about my living expenses again, and I still had 300 extra dollars left on me, which could last for almost two weeks.

As for what to do in two weeks......

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Thinking that it was already evening, after I had eaten, I walked towards the class that the counselor had notified in the WeChat group.

In the class, there were already a lot of people here, sitting in twos and threes according to the relationship between the dormitories, and I sat alone in the last position.

Because of my family and the fact that I have to learn some Shinto Feng Shui every day, I am not a sociable person and rarely speak.

At the end of the class, I sat in the last row silently.

"Wang Mingming still has an old age left, and the rest of the people can go back to the dormitory to rest."

The counselor, a middle-aged man who looked to be forty years old, named Lu Dahai, was standing on the podium at the moment and shouted to us after the class meeting.

Immediately, most of the classmates looked at me, as well as the girl named Wang Mingming.

Of course, I'm just incidental to them, most of the eyes are still on Wang Mingming's body, even I didn't take a few more looks, this girl looks too amazing, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her temperament is cold, and she is from a rich lady at first glance.

"Both of you live in a single room in our class, some forms need you to fill out, it won't delay much of your time, don't look at the other students, hurry up and go back to rest, you have to get up early tomorrow morning for military training."

Counselor Lu Dahai said kindly.

Wang Mingming and I walked to the edge of the podium, and the counselor handed us two forms.

What we need to fill in is some ordinary basic information, I quickly filled it in, ready to hand it over to the counselor, and when I looked up, I inadvertently saw Wang Mingming's back of the ear.

The small, white ears are beautiful, but that's not where I'm paying attention.

I saw that behind Wang Mingming's earlobe, a place called the Pampong Acupoint, there was a faint reddish-purple qi lingering.

That's amazing! I held my breath.

Purple gas overflowing acupoint, red light dwelling in the clouds!

I have learned metaphysical things very solidly, and I can see at a glance that Wang Mingming's appearance is not simple, not that she has any troubles, but that someone has done something to Wang Mingming.

She's been cursed to lure evil spirits!

The Pampong Wind Cave is the location of the Brotherhood of Young Yangs, and if there is a reddish-purple evil qi here, it means that the person's qi and blood are accumulating.

I can't see anything in a short time, but after a long time, my limbs will be crippled, and my whole body will be paralyzed!

And it is very easy to attract evil cults.

What kind of hatred is it, I can't help but sigh, this is man-made, but the method of casting a spell is more troublesome, I also heard about it in the case of the poisonous curse taught to me by my uncle, I never thought that I would be able to see the Tao as soon as I arrived in Cloud City.

"Teacher, I've written it." Wang Mingming's voice was just like her temperament, cold and cold.

"Okay, let's go back, don't forget the military training tomorrow morning."

The counselor smiled and took the form.

Then, Wang Mingming left the classroom with the book in her arms, and I followed me out.
