Chapter 11 Casting lots
The next day, my parents got up at five o'clock as usual.
And Chen Jidao was already doing tai chi in the courtyard.
My dad saw it and learned from Chen Jidao's movements. But that action, tsk, what's the point? Oh, that's just the case, right?
About half an hour later, Chen Jidao slowly finished his work, then turned his head and looked at my father playfully and said, "What? Interested? ”
My dad nodded, and remembered that when he was a child, he read the villain's book, and the martial arts cheats and everything were all sect rules, and the stories of outsiders could not be passed on.
"If you want to learn from what I teach you, practice it every day, it's good for your body."
"Don't, Brother Chen, martial arts can't be passed on to outsiders."
"......" Chen Jidao was speechless for a while, and it is estimated that he also thought that my father had read the story of the villain's book, so he had this concept.
Chen Jidao shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not martial arts, it's just some ways to strengthen the body, I'll play it again, you take a good look." ”
So Chen Jidao played Tai Chi in front of my dad from beginning to end.
Chen Jidao spent a morning in this way to make my father barely memorize a complete set of simplified version of Taijiquan.
After practicing all morning, Chen Jidao and my dad were both soaked, and after the two took a shower, it was time for lunch.
"I'm going to go out in the afternoon and I'll be back in about a year and a half."
During lunch, Chen Jidao suddenly said this, which shocked my parents and almost couldn't even hold the chopsticks.
Why? Because there was no meat for this lunch!
Last night, my dad made braised pork with all the leftover meat at home, and in the morning he was learning Tai Chi with Chen Jidao, and he didn't have time to go to the countryside to buy meat, so lunch was a simple few vegetarian dishes, a stack of peanuts fried at home, and a bottle of wine.
When my parents heard that Chen Jidao was going out, it would take a year and a half, thinking that he was snubbing him because he had no meat in the family's food, so he wanted to leave, so he was so shocked that he almost dropped his chopsticks.
"Don't don't, Brother Chen, I'll go to the countryside to buy meat in the afternoon!" My dad quickly said that he had figured something out last night.
Chen Jidao held the golden knife in his hand, and his majestic appearance kept echoing in his mind. The miraculous thing last night also made him completely trust Chen Jidao, and he was reluctant to let Chen Jidao go at this time.
"That's not it! Last night's terrible ghost in the town, I had to find someone to overdo it. People who can surpass ghosts, you don't have it, I have to go to Nanchang. ”
Chen Jidao sandwiched a peanut, took a sip of wine and said, it looks very boring, you must know that he is meatless and unhappy!
"We will go to Nanchang (the meaning here), and it won't take us a long time."
At this time, my mother was also anxious, she was afraid that as soon as Chen Jidao left, she would start to have that nightmare again.
"I've got something else to do, and I'm not coming back that soon. Don't worry, even if I leave, you won't have that dream, besides, Lao Tzu's exorcism charm is fake? Chen Jidao said angrily.
It's all said and done, and my parents can't say anything. But my heart is still a little twisted.
Chen Jidao is the best of the best, my parents are not happy, don't he know?
But he didn't care, put one foot on the stool, sandwiched the peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and finally took a sip of wine, and said with a "calm" expression: "It's not that I won't come back, don't cry with a sad face, as if I'm going to die!" Besides, my fate with your son is still long! ”
When my parents heard him say this, they felt much more comfortable, and the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually improved.
The meal was over quickly, and Chen Jidao ran to the room before leaving, teasing me.
While teasing, he laughed and said, "Hey, hey, my apprentice!" That obscene energy made my parents goosebumps.
Time flies, and soon a year and a half have passed.
During this time, a small incident happened that made my parents believe Chen Jidao's words even more.
That thing is the drawing of lots.
In fact, there are many places where this custom is present, and it is roughly the same.
When the baby is one year old, put all kinds of objects in front of the child and let him grasp it, and the traditional commonly used items are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, books, etc. Based on what you catch, predict your baby's interests, hobbies, and possible future careers.
I'm no exception.
The drawing of lots was held in my parents' room, and my parents put things in a circle on the bed and put me out of the circle.
But to my parents' surprise, I didn't touch any of the things that were placed in front of me, but just stared at the talisman attached to the cradle with my eyes, and my little hands opened in the direction of the talisman.
My dad seemed to understand and tore off the talisman and put it inside the pile.
After he put it away, I actually crawled in the direction of the talisman, and then grabbed the talisman in my hand, "giggling" and laughing.
This incident reminded my parents of what Chen Jidao said, I am destined to be a Taoist!
My parents looked at each other and saw the helplessness in the eyes of both sides.
Although they already trusted Chen Jidao very much at this time, and even saw Chen Jidao suppressing ghosts with their own eyes, the Taoist priest is a great god of jumping, and the concept of deception still lingers in their concepts.
They didn't want their son to embark on such a road from the bottom of their hearts, but when they saw me drawing lots, they didn't want anything, as long as they were in Fu, they realized that what Chen Jidao said was destined, so they were very helpless and didn't know what to do.
The two of them were worried about this matter every day, and they didn't know how to refuse Chen Jidao.
My parents thought about it and came up with all kinds of reasons to refuse, but in the end they all denied it.
Why? Because on the day Chen Jidao left, he said that my mother would not have that dream again, and sure enough, my mother never had it again!
What does this mean?
First, it shows that Chen Jidao's suppression of ghosts is true!
The second is to show that there are really powerful ghosts pestering my family, and Chen Jidao solved it. My parents don't know how to repay this kindness!
My parents are simple people, and they know the truth that they should be reciprocated by the grace of dripping water, which is why my parents denied it!
Although they firmly believe that Chen Jidao is not one of those liars who dance gods, they are parents, and out of the instinct to think about the future of their children, they don't want their children to become Taoist priests in the future.
And my dad is a very face-saving person, his son has become a Taoist priest, how can he still have face when it is spread?
Moreover, in this era, Taoist priests are actually very unpopular, and even radical ones, it is common for them to insult them.
My parents discussed it for more than ten days, but it still didn't work.
In the end, my dad frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Even if I kneel down to Master Chen, I can't let my son have no future......
