Of the four people in the room, Lao Cai didn't know the cause and effect, he asked with a confused face: "Why don't I understand what you are saying at all?" It's all about what it is. ”

Then he looked at the sloppy old man and asked, "Master, when did you and Xiaoli meet?" What did you tell him? ”

The sloppy old man sighed and did not answer Lao Cai's words. Instead, he walked up to my grandfather's side and said, "Old friend, I can't help you in this matter." In fact, I came back not long ago, mainly because I wanted to come back early to see my unlucky son, so I set off a month earlier than Xiao Huanzi. I also didn't think that the little guy I met by accident who had cultivated the art of charms was your grandson, and when I saw him that year, he was just a baby....... ”

My grandfather snorted coldly and did not speak.

The sloppy old man said again: "Since this matter has been known by Chu Li, it is not a secret, so let the children know the truth." ”

Then he looked at my grandfather inquiringly. My grandfather didn't speak.

The sloppy old man said: "Actually, this matter starts from the time Chu Li was seven years old...... ”

According to the sloppy old man, the way of heaven pays attention to the complementarity of yin and yang, and the cycle of the five elements. In this world, it is as small as ants and dust, as large as mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and people are naturally among them.

When it comes to people, a man and a woman are called yin and yang. And in this yin and yang, it is divided into five element cycles, so whether it is a man or a woman, since birth, there are five elements of life, which is called: gold, wood, water, earth and fire.

The five elements follow each other, make up for each other, and suppress each other, and only when they are indispensable can they be considered complete.

Generally speaking, ordinary people's five elements are more or less incongruous, that is, there will be what they call the five elements of heavy water, or the five elements of heavy gold.

This situation is relatively common, and there is no major harm, as long as you pay attention to avoid the heavier related things of your five elements in your life.

And the five elements are coordinated, and the people who just suppress each other and make up for each other are generally rich and noble, and life is often smooth.

It's just that there are quite few people in this situation, and it can be regarded as a fool.

But what is even rarer is the person who directly lacks one line of the five elements. In life, when some blue scammers help people tell fortunes, in order to make more money, they will talk about the lack of wood in the five elements, the lack of soil in the five elements, in fact, this is all.

According to the sloppy old man, I am the very rare person who directly lacks one line of the five elements. And I didn't live past my childhood, so I should have died a long time ago.

……。

What I lack is fire. That's where my name, Chu Li, comes from. Don't underestimate the role that a name can play, and there is a very profound truth in the folk saying that a cheap name is good to feed.

Later, the sloppy old man mentioned it to me when he told me about some of the things he had done in his life. One year, he met a person who asked him for help, saying that the child had a high fever and could not be cured, so he asked him to help him. After he went, he did some calculations, and finally figured out that it was the problem with the child's name. It turned out that when the child's parents named the child, they obtained the word "Qianlong".

The old man said that it is because the child's life cannot suppress these two words, so this kind of problem will occur, and the child must be renamed quickly, otherwise it is likely to have a big problem if it is late.

The family, because they had received the help of the old man before, also believed in the old man, so they changed the child's name on the same day, and strangely, the child was fine the next day.

And the word "leave" in my name, in the Bagua direction, the departure represents the fire position. There is also a legend that the fire in the gossip furnace of Taishang Laojun, that is, the alchemy of the Sanqing Patriarch, is taken from the position in the Bagua direction, which is called the nine days of fire.

According to the sloppy old man, when I was born, my grandfather felt that my life was abnormal and went to him to see it, and the conclusion at that time was that I had five elements of heavy water, so he gave me the word "leave".

What happened when I was seven years old was something that my grandfather didn't expect, and he didn't think about what was wrong with me, or if it was a flash of inspiration that it might be a problem with my personality. So I went to the old man again, and after the old man did some calculations, he came to the conclusion that I was not the five elements of heavy water at all, but the lack of fire in the five elements.

This conclusion startled my grandfather, you must know that the five elements of heavy water and the lack of fire of the five elements are not the same concept at all. The former represents that I am no different from ordinary people, although my future life will not be smooth, but compared to the latter, at least my life is safe.

Fortunately, the old man at that time treasured a piece of talisman paper, which was a heavenly rune that the legendary Maoshan patriarch had studied all his life.

It is said that Zhang Shenfu exhausted the efforts of the Maoshan Patriarch, so that when this talisman was born, the Maoshan Patriarch left his hands. There is also a theory that this Heavenly Machine Rune can cover the Heavenly Machine, so on the day of birth, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the Maoshan Patriarch was also punished by the Heavenly Dao, resulting in death without blinking his eyes.

As for how this talisman was obtained by the old man, it is another story.

Anyway, my grandfather came back with this talisman that day and hung it around my neck.

According to legend, the time for which the Celestial Rune can cover the Celestial Plane is about thirty years. But this was without being noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

I was unlucky, and after that year, the rune turned to ashes. This also means that the Heavenly Dao has sensed that someone is using something that can obscure the Heavenly Machine, but for a while it doesn't know who it is.

Correspondingly, due to the damage of the Heavenly Machine Rune, the number of years it can cover the Heavenly Machine has been shortened by more than half.

When I was nineteen years old, it was the maximum number of years that the Heavenly Machine Rune could exert its effect, so I would never live to be twenty years old.

……。

I listened quietly to what the sloppy old man had to say, and did not say a word. Because I knew that I would not live to be twenty years old, one of my hearts had already fallen to the bottom. People are not dead, but I feel that my heart is dead.

It was Lao Cai's reaction first, and he asked a little anxiously: "Master, is there any Heavenly Machine Rune left?" Why don't you just find another one? ”

The sloppy old man shook his head and said, "No, there is only one in this world." ”

"Can you draw a new one? Grandpa Chu is so powerful, he will definitely be able to do it. Lao Cai said without giving up.

The sloppy old man glanced at my grandfather, still shook his head, and said: "The reason why the rune is called a rune is because of its preciousness, not to mention that your grandfather Chu's Taoism is very different from that of the Maoshan Patriarch back then, even if he has that Taoism, he may not be able to draw it, this kind of thing, what is more particular is chance." ”

When my grandfather heard this, he glanced at me, whose face was like ashes, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Who said no?" Even if you're right, I don't have that ability or chance. But don't forget, there's another thing in this world, and it's just as good as it can obscure the heavens. Moreover, it is more effective than the Celestial Talisman and can solve this problem once and for all. ”

"Do you mean that the legend suddenly appeared and disappeared more than a hundred years ago, stirring up a bloody storm of three clear falls?"

My grandfather did not answer the words of the sloppy old man. The old man sighed and said, "Old friend......." ”

It's just that before the old man could finish his sentence, my grandfather suddenly raised his head and glared at him. The old man didn't say any more, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you to find it." ”

I could feel it in the tone of their conversation. The difficulty of finding the Three Clearings that my grandfather said was probably the same as the difficulty of drawing the Celestial Talisman, both of which were hopeless.
