In the catastrophe more than a thousand years ago, my grandfather mentioned to me that the Qiankun physical technique I practiced was created by a person named Chu Qiankun at the ancestor of our Chu family at that time. My grandfather said that the catastrophe was due to the legend that there was a great secret hidden in the three books of the Three Qing Dynasty, so it caused a lot of contention among all parties, so that the world was in chaos.

More than a thousand years ago is still the same thing to me, too far away, I don't want to know the details of it, because I really don't have much interest.

So I remembered the secret hidden in the Sanqing book that the evil old man told me, and said to the sloppy old man: "Grandpa Lin, what secrets are hidden in the Sanqing book?" Do you know? ”

The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

I didn't expect him to react, because my grandfather didn't know either, and if the old man knew, my grandfather wouldn't have known about it.

So I put down my chopsticks, looked at him solemnly, and told him exactly what the old cult told me.

The sloppy old man was stunned after hearing what I said, and it seemed that he was also so shocked that he didn't know that the chopsticks in his hand slipped down.

"Sanqing Mandate? Coexist with the way of heaven? ……”

His eyes widened as he repeated two of the words I had said to him.

I nodded, and then asked him, "Grandpa Lin, do you think what the evil way said is true?" ”

He was distracted for a long time, slowly shifted his weight back, and only after sitting down again did he shake his head absentmindedly and said, "I only know that there is a big secret hidden in the Sanqing Book, and I don't know if it's this." ”

I looked at the sloppy old man's soulless appearance, and suddenly felt as if he was hiding something from me, so I asked him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Listening to my question, he seemed to have regained his mind and suddenly smiled. That smile seemed to me as relieved and helpless.

He replied to me with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought that if there is really such a secret hidden in the Sanqing Book, then for you, there is one more choice for you to get rid of your five elements and live less than twenty years old." ”

I shook my head with a wry smile and sighed, "But we can't find ...... the other two Sanqing books at all." ”

The sloppy old man also sighed and muttered, "Yes, I can't find ...... at all." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

The atmosphere was a little cold because of the sad topic, and we didn't speak again. I didn't like this kind of situation where I had nothing to say, so I smiled and said, "By the way, Grandpa Lin, do you know the five disadvantages and three shortcomings?" ”

……

I always thought that the so-called five evils and three shortcomings were just a small calamity, and even dispensable for cultivators. So even when I asked the sloppy old man this question, it was only for the purpose of relieving the atmosphere.

But I didn't expect that it would be a catastrophe for the lives of cultivators, and some people would even die because of it.

I finally understood why both the sloppy old man and my grandfather had an inexplicable sense of alienation from their families. I finally understood why none of them planned to pass on what they had learned to future generations. I even understand why there are so few cultivators in this society now.

At half past twelve in the evening, I lay on the bed in the dormitory and couldn't sleep for a long time, and the words that the sloppy old man had told me that subverted my cognition kept flashing in my mind.

When I asked the sloppy old man this question, he suddenly froze and asked me, "Did the evil way tell you this?" ”

I nodded. Then he was silent, and after a few minutes he sighed again, and said, "Forget it, I can't hide it, and it's time to tell you." In the past, your grandfather said that it was not time for you to know about the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and now your grandfather can't contact you, but I think it's okay to let you know, so I'll tell you about it...... ”

Next, the sloppy old man told the causes and consequences of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

According to him, there really is a Heavenly Dao in this world, which is what people often call fate. As for what this fate is, no one knows, some people say that fate is a person, some people say that fate is an ethereal way, and some people say that fate is actually the god in our mouth.

It is said that it is a cycle of heavenly dao, and all kinds of causes and effects in this world are in the control of fate.

It is said that more than a thousand years ago, because the catastrophe was too large, fate could not see the greed of the cultivators who tried to be on a par with themselves, so in order to punish their crimes, the punishment of the five evils and three deficiencies was lowered.

The so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies are divided into five disadvantages and three deficiencies, a total of eight calamities. The five evils are: widowhood, loneliness, and disability.

A widow or widow who has no wife in his life is a widow, a widow who has no husband or a widow in his life, a widow who has relatives but cannot see each other is lonely, an old man who has no support is a lonely, and the last disability is easier to understand is a physical disability.

And the three deficiencies are Fu Lu Shou, that is, the right to money and life. Adding a missing word after these three words can be understood as: poverty, short-lived and powerless.

According to the sloppy old man, he and my grandfather were both lonely people, so that's why they didn't dare to see their loved ones.

The sloppy old man said, in fact, the real reason why my grandmother was robbed was that my grandfather's lonely calamity had just appeared at that time, and there was no one around my grandfather who was good at calculating, so he didn't know which of the eight calamities he encountered, and he didn't know when his five evils and three shortcomings would come. So not long after my father was born, my grandfather's disaster of loneliness and disadvantage suddenly came, and my grandmother died in response to my grandfather's five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

I asked him again, then why is it okay for me to be close to my grandfather for a long time, and he also has a lot of contact with my grandfather, and both of them are fine?

The sloppy old man told me that the reason why I would not respond to my grandfather's catastrophe of five disadvantages and three deficiencies was because I was still under the protection of the Heavenly Machine Rune, which covered the Heavenly Machine, and blocked the catastrophe of the five elements of water deficiency and doomed to die for me.

And he is because he and my grandfather are both lonely people, and the two of them get along with each other, but they are fine, and I don't know if it is the negligence of fate, or should it be said that fate is open.

I suddenly knew how precious the Heavenly Magic Rune that the sloppy old man had given me was. Think about it, he is a lonely person, if he uses the Heavenly Magic Rune, why should he endure this kind of suffering of having children and relatives but not being able to see each other? But he actually gave it to me, just to let me live for more than ten years, for me, such a kindness is like reconstruction.

So I looked at the sloppy old man's eyes and was suddenly full of gratitude, he saw me like this, but he smiled again, and said: "In fact, the Tianji rune is handed down by our ancestors, and the ancestor said that unless our Lin family has an only son, and this son suffered a widowhood when he was not married, that is, he could not marry a wife in his life, so that the Lin family faced extinction, and then the Tianji rune could be activated to avoid this catastrophe." And I had already made the decision to pass on the cloth god at that time, so the Tianji rune was of little use to me, as for my bad old man, it was much more valuable for me to use the Tianji rune to save a friend's grandson than to use it on my own. ”

Seeing him smiling and indifferent, my heart was full of gratitude and respect for him, but I couldn't speak. I don't know what to say to him, because whatever I say is not enough to thank him.

To say that he didn't care at all that it was fake, otherwise how could he be so out of shape when he heard me say that the secret hidden in the Sanqing Book was the Sanqing Heavenly Mandate. If the machine rune is used by me today, the three clear falls are under my grandfather's crazy search, and it is also for me. Therefore, if he wants to change his solitary calamity, he can only find other ways. It was also when he explained to me what the five disadvantages and three disadvantages were, that I suddenly understood this.

……。

I lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling, and my eyes seemed to see the sky straight through the reinforced concrete. Is there really a pair of eyes on me all the time? If nothing else, I should say that he can't see me now, and it will be two years from now.

I suddenly felt that Maoshan's old evil way was indeed a little pitiful, and according to what he said, he should have been a widower who only appeared after marrying a wife, so his wife died.

He also seems to love his wife very much, otherwise how could he become a mad demon?

Speaking of which, he is also a victim, and he has also suffered pain that he should not have suffered, why should he suffer such a catastrophe if he cultivated the Maoshan Taoist technique to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons in the world?

What about his wife? It's nothing more than an ordinary woman, but she withers at the age of the flowering season for no reason.

Is she wrong for being an ordinary woman? That's right. Is there anything wrong with that old cult? If it were only about his misery, he would be right. So who's wrong? I lay in bed thinking about it, and if I had to say anything wrong, it would be the so-called fate......

But at the end of the day, no matter how unfairly fate was inflicted on that old man, he shouldn't have imposed his pain on others, otherwise what difference would he have from that fucked fate?

The sloppy old man was also very angry when he heard me tell him about the cruel methods of the Maoshan Evil Way, and he told me that this matter was on him, not to mention that it could subdue him, but it would definitely make him have nowhere to stay, and he would not have time to commit crimes.

So I told the sloppy old man what the old man looked like, and it should be good for his calculations. As for what method he used to contain that old evil way in the future, he asked me not to care, saying that he had his own way.

There is a saying that the reason why you don't feel that life is difficult is because someone is taking on that hardship for you.

I suddenly had a sore nose. My grandfather and the sloppy old man have paid too much for my business, but what about me? But he can't do anything but live a step-by-step life.

……。

In the afternoon, knowing the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, I suddenly felt a little worried about Lao Cai, because he inadvertently learned the cloth cloth god arithmetic, and he didn't know which calamity his five disadvantages and three shortcomings would be? As for me, I'm not worried at all, I won't live to be twenty years old anyway, and it doesn't matter to me which calamity my calamity is.

So I asked the sloppy old man, has Lao Cai's robbery been revealed? Can you calculate which catastrophe it is?

The sloppy old man smiled, glanced at Lao Cai, and said to me, "I've counted yours, but I haven't shown it yet." But his has already manifested, and it is the power of the three shortages. ”

The sloppy old man half-jokingly continued: "Why do you think this kid is so lucky? Anyway, his family has money, and he only commits a lack of power, so that this kid can't eat idleness in a bright way? ”

When Lao Cai heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a straight smile: "Then wouldn't I be in a circle with you?" ……。 ”

To say that although Lao Cai's words have the meaning of enlivening the atmosphere, his expression and his words are too bad, so the sloppy old man rewarded him with a rolling word neatly.
