Chapter 1: Breaking the rules

Next Chapter

Look at life and death at a glance, and decide the world with a hexagram.

This is my family's ancestral golden signboard, it is said that it was given by a certain emperor himself, and it has never been taken down since it was hung up, and the ancestors of the family have taken it as their own responsibility, and no future generations are allowed to move this plaque easily.

But this rule was broken by my grandfather.

He took the plaque down with his own hands, and it was in 1991, the day I was born prematurely.

Xin Weinian, generally speaking, is the sheep of Delu, born to belong to the roadside land, it should be a brilliant and blessed double harvest, even if it is a young man, it is also the life of enjoying his old age.

It seems that there is no need for grandpa to do this.

The relatives in the family were puzzled, so they naturally opposed it, and even the neighbors of Shili and Eight Townships, as well as his friends in the Yin and Yang Feng Shui world, learned of this and rushed to dissuade him.

But Grandpa was unusually persistent.

He didn't tell anyone what the reason was, but silently wrapped the plaque in a red cloth and brought it back to his hometown in the countryside, never returning to the county seat again, and no one in his family was allowed to look for him.

At that time, my father and my three uncles were already well-known hexagram masters in the country.

Therefore, although grandpa's behavior is abnormal, it basically does not have much impact on the family's business, and people who come to the door to ask for fortunes can still line up from the streets to the alleys.

But when I was young, I was different, three days and two heads were either this disease or that disaster, and I couldn't speak all the time, and almost all of my life was renewed by the decoction of the Chinese medicine shop next door, which really didn't match the life of the sheep of Delu.

Everyone said that this was grandpa's punishment for ignoring the ancestral teachings.

My mom didn't complain about anything, but seeing that I was about to be seven years old, ready to go to elementary school, and couldn't speak, my body was still sick, and I couldn't get to bed for three days out of five days, and I was so anxious that I couldn't do it, so I asked my dad to go back to his hometown and ask my grandfather what he thought.

At that time, there was a large real estate developer in the city, and there were a number of unexpected collapse accidents at the new construction site, resulting in many workers being injured and finally asking for our home. My dad made a hexagram and found out that the lives of many innocent workers were involved, and he thought that he would go to the city first and then come back to deal with my business.

My mother refused, so he casually comforted my mother.

What do you say about being a hexagram master, snooping on the heavenly machine every day, and even leaking the heavenly machine, there is a five disadvantages and three deficiencies, it is too common, the old Zhang family can achieve such prosperity, or the shadow of the ancestral product, he and several younger brothers were not in good health when they were young, and they were late in enlightenment, but now they are not the same as a tiger?

With that, my dad turned around and got into the big developer's luxury car.

My mother is not a person in the yin and yang feng shui world, and she cares more about my health and schooling, and my father is so perfunctory, I remember that for so many years, he has not paid too much attention to my bad health, and I was immediately angry.

She thought to herself, since her grandfather can ignore the life and death of her grandson and break the rules of her ancestors without permission, then why does she have to abide by the rules that her grandfather does not allow his family to look for him?

It happened to be my seventh birthday, and my mother took me back to my hometown in the countryside for an opportunity.

I've never met my grandfather, I haven't learned yin-yang mathematics, and I don't know anything about hexagrams. But the moment I met my grandfather, I said the first words of my life in a straight voice.

"Zhang Yi, I'm here, it's time to pass it on."

Seeing that I was able to speak, my mother first cried with joy, and the resentment in my heart that my grandfather might have hurt me also dissipated a lot.

Later, she realized that I was calling my grandfather's name, and immediately explained to him in a panic, saying that this was the first time I had spoken, so don't mind anything.

Grandpa looked at our mother and son, sighed, didn't say anything, just dropped a sentence of "wait", and went straight back to the house and hung up the phone to the store, telling my dad and my three uncles to be sure to come back before dark.

My dad came back from the city, a little late, and it was already dark, so he had to stand at the door all night and wait until the next morning to enter the house.

"It's fate!"

Grandpa sighed, and did not reprimand my father, but solemnly pulled me to his side, and told everyone that I would be taken by him in the future, and no one was allowed to come to see our grandparents until he died.

Three days later, they returned to the county seat, and I stayed.

My mom later told me that she would have agreed to my grandfather's strange request because she saw the look in my eyes. Although she didn't know anything like yin-yang math, she was confident that she could read the look in my eyes at that time.

In other words, I actually chose to stay.

However, as soon as they left the village, I had a serious illness that crossed life and death.

Grandpa has been tight-lipped about this matter, and has never told my parents or me.

Later, the village doctor and uncle inadvertently mentioned this to me, and he still looked like he had palpitations, saying that I had stopped breathing for a day and my body was already cold and hard. But my grandfather didn't treat me as dead at that time, but set up a small altar at home and shook the soul bell for a night before pulling me back.

But after that, my body grew stronger and stronger, and apart from forgetting everything that happened before I got sick, my life became more and more nourishing day by day.

In my spare time, my grandfather began to teach me the art of yin and yang.

Maybe I'm naturally smart, and no matter which side of the study is at my fingertips.

Especially on the theoretical knowledge of yin and yang hexagrams, others may not be able to comprehend it in three or five years, but I can master it completely in three or five months, it is so easy that it seems that I would have known this thing, but I haven't used it for too long and forgotten it.

However, on the first day my grandfather taught me, he set a strange rule for me.

β€”β€”In this life, everyone can only be counted as one hexagram, and one hexagram will determine the future. After that, no matter how many times the other party comes to the door to ask for it, and how high the price is, you can't tell the other party again.

I didn't have much chance to see the work of my dad and my uncles, and my grandfather only occasionally went out to the mountains to help the villagers do a fortune, and I didn't see any duplicate work, so I naturally thought that this was the family rule of the Zhang family.

Later, I learned that this was a rule that my grandfather set for me.

But at that time, because of this rule, I didn't even have the opportunity to practice.

By the time I was fifteen years old, I had thoroughly comprehended all the hexagrams taught by my grandfather. At the age of curiosity, I was naturally not satisfied with just practicing with cats and dogs, so I wanted to sneak into practice with my classmates.

The first practice object, I took a fancy to my crush, Muraka Xia Lan.

When I was in love, I wondered if she would like me, if she pursued her, if she would succeed, and if she did, what would happen to us......

It's a very simple hexagram.

But when I saw the hexagram, I regretted it.

Her love palace and husband and wife palace are all located in the heavens, and there is a high probability that she will fall in love with her ideal partner at first sight and marry early, and I can see very clearly the appearance, family background, personality, and even when her ideal object appears.

It can be said that it has nothing to do with me.

I suddenly felt that fortune telling was boring, gave up the idea of practice, and graduated from junior high school in discouragement.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but on the day of the graduation ceremony, Xia Lan suddenly found me and said that she wanted to ask me to give her a hexagram.
