After we said goodbye to my second uncle's house, I walked home with my father, and tonight was another moonless night, I don't know how to describe my mood at this time. After more than 20 years of father-son relationship, it seemed like overnight there was a huge wall between me and my father, and this wall suffocated me.

"Dad, I seem to understand how you felt when you found out Grandpa's secret, because I'm in the same mood as you now." I said to my father, "I was very bitter about that."

"I understand. It's only when I'm a parent that I know your grandfather's mood, three or two, there are some things I have to hide from you, but there are some things I really don't want to hide from you, and I don't know why, maybe in a lot of things you know recently. Your grandfather Guo Zhongyong is a thief in your consciousness, a thief like the traitorous Cixi, he may be very powerful, but he is definitely not a good person. Is that right? My dad asked me.

"Perhaps, if nothing else, just by doing it to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and planting lotus roots on people's heads, I don't have any good impression of him as a person. But it's understandable that everyone has their own way of living. I said.

--"I'm even more curious about the cause of my great-grandfather's death, which, based on what we've known lately, is a subversion of what has happened before. He would never have been executed for disobedience because of the matter of the dragon vein, so what happened to the tragedy that led to the destruction of the Guo family? I asked.

When I was done, I was stunned, because I found that the whole mystery was getting bigger and bigger, and I wanted to ask my dad what was going on in the pagoda. But now, it was actually on my grandfather, and I found that it all seemed to be a line.

"Why this expression?" My dad asked me with a smile.

"I feel like everything is a line, but it's more like a fog." I said.

"Yes, a line, the people of the Guo family, all work hard for it, three or two. I can tell you this, your grandfather Guo Zhongyong may not be a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person, when he cooperated with Cixi's actions, it was inevitable to protect himself in troubled times, but I ask you, if a person has the talent of heaven and earth, does he choose to be generous and righteous for the sake of his reputation, or is it better to temporarily live in the powerful and make plans for the future? My dad asked me suddenly.

"All I know is that I have studied an ancient poem, saying that no one has died since ancient times." I smiled wryly.

"You're wrong, this kind of person dies. In fact, there is no value, on the other hand, they are still very selfish, they die for their own reputation, and they have not contributed to the country or the people, even if they are full of money, what is the use? My dad said.

After saying that, he seemed to realize that the conversation between the two of us tonight was a bit too ethereal, or more like what the two sages were talking about, which was not in line with our identity.

"Everyone has a small family after that." My dad said.

"Dad, we're all farmers, don't tell me too much about it, although it sounds very high-end, but for now, I'm more interested in the truth of the whole thing." I said.

My dad hesitated for a moment and said, "Come with me." ”

-- I followed my dad to a field, and he found a shovel and dug out the white jade jar with the shovel, and it seemed that he really wanted to confess it to me. Female winter intestinal garbage.

After digging out the jar, he said to me, "When you look at the contents of this jar, you feel that everything seems to be less complicated, and it is that complicated. ”

The jar was right in front of me, and my dad didn't stop me from taking out the contents of the jar, I looked at him, and he even nodded to me, "Open it." ”

I didn't even know what I was afraid of, I didn't know what fear was, and I pulled out of the jar a little boy in a little green jacket, and this little boy was different from the ghost baby, who might have grown up in his soul, but the body was still newborn.

Because I had heard my dad talk about my grandfather before, I looked at the back of the dead baby's head, and I saw a steel needle, and just one look, I saw that the needle was different from what my father had described to me.

I used to think that my grandfather was sticking a normal steel needle into the back of his head, but now I found a steel needle, but it's more like a hairpin, with a steel needle at the front and a lotus mark at the back.

It's more like a lotus needle, so to speak.

I wanted to pull out this lotus needle, but my father stopped me at this time, and he said, "Don't worry about pulling out this thing, there are other things in the white jade jar, you can take them out and take a look." ”

I put my hand into the white jade jar and pulled out a piece of gold leaf, and on the gold leaf there was a line of words that were clearly written in blood, and it was a date, and the date was accurate to the hour.

I was holding the gold leaf, and I was almost shaking in disbelief in my eyes, and after I rubbed my eyes, it still felt like it was incredible.

"This !!" I looked at my dad and said.

"Yes, you guessed it right, this is your birth date." My dad said to me.

I almost fainted, I almost fainted, and now this baby on the ground didn't move at all, but I looked at him more terrifying than when I looked at his soul, and I wasn't an old white neck for some feng shui things, and even if I couldn't, I heard too much.

"Am I a ghost? I died when I was born? This so-called ghost, in fact, was it when I was a child? I pointed to myself and asked, I didn't seem to have any way to explain why my birth date and this ghost fetus were buried together.

"You're wrong, he's your substitute ghost, but he's not you, this is the fate of the Guo family, maybe it starts with your grandfather, or it starts with me, do you remember in your grandfather's notes, about my five disadvantages and three shortcomings when I was a child? Some people say that I am guilty of a life deficit, but He Zhenren says no, in fact, it is really not, but because of the relationship between your grandfather, the Guo family is the same fate from you to me. My dad said.

"Don't ask me why you didn't feel how weak you were when you were a child, it's because of this child." My dad said.

"He's my substitute?" I was stunned.

"Yes, you can say that the two of us are five disadvantages and three shortcomings, or you can say no, the answer to the question about our entire fate can be found in the princess's tomb, but the single biography of the Guo family, your and my problems are not accidental, when you were a child, according to common sense, you were destined to not survive, so with this, it is equivalent to making a deal with him."

"From your birth, to some strange phenomena after that, your grandfather learned this way to save you from the three ghosts of the Li family, from the yin indirect ghost boy was born, with a ghost child dressed in the jade altar, let him absorb the breath of luck lotus in the pagoda, he kept you safe. It could even be said that it was for you, a deal that your grandfather made with the devil. ”

"That's why I'm going to take this ghost fetus out, and now I'm going to leave this matter to you, you pull out this lotus needle, and the tiger can be saved, but if you pull him out, you'll have to endure a lot of things you didn't expect, and now all the decisions are in your own hands." My father said to me.

"That's why you took this away?" I asked my daddy.

"Yes. Save you, or save the tiger, you choose one. My dad said.

"I knew it was so." At this time, suddenly a voice came from behind him, Listen to the voice, it was Lin Baqian, who was sorry for Kunlun.

I was happy in my heart, Lin Baqian once touched my father's head and helped him cut off the root of the pubic root, if I am like my father, it is similar to the fate of five disadvantages and three shortcomings, then Lin Baqian can also easily help me cut off the root of the pubic root at will?

"Why are you here?" My dad was on guard.

"Don't pretend, didn't you say those words to me? But it's destined not to be as good as I want, I won't accept apprentices, and there won't be a second Lin Xiaofan in this world. Although according to the fate, you including you and Sanliang are a bit similar, but your relationship between yin and yang is only forcibly connected with the underworld, which is an unclear relationship, and Xiaofan is a person who is born through yin and yang, which is different. Lin Baqian said.
