Chapter 33 The Law of Supporting the Soldiers
The psychological activities of Xu Shoujun and Cheng Zhong, the old and the young, in the underground treasure secret room are worth analyzing.
Xu Shoujun is a very smart person.
After observation and understanding, he found that although Cheng Zhong was young, he was not a strong concept and was not a person who could be bought by money.
So he played the emotional card and took advantage of Cheng Zhong's weakness of overflowing sympathy to get Cheng Zhong's heart.
However, it must be noted that if Xu Shoujun only used Cheng Zhong to get the entrance to the "Wolf Domain" at first, at this time, he was willing to recognize this grandson mainly because he appreciated and liked Cheng Zhong.
This means that Xu Shoujun's attitude towards Cheng Zhong has unconsciously undergone a fundamental change.
Let's talk about the bell.
Cheng Zhong's wisdom is better than Xu Shoujun's.
Although he entered Xu Shoujun's lair with righteousness and awe, he was still very worried about his safety in his heart.
Cheng Zhong wanted to assist the public security department in arresting Xu Shoujun, but he was unwilling to provoke him to react to the extreme, so that he endangered his own life.
For this reason, Cheng Zhong sometimes deliberately obeys Xu Shoujun and tries to find common ground between the two people in order to maintain the relationship between the two parties.
However, it must also be noted that Cheng Zhong agreed to recognize Xu Shoujun as his grandfather, not all for self-preservation, nor for the sake of obtaining a large amount of wealth.
The main thought in his heart at this time was that Xu Shoujun, as an old man who was about to die and had no descendants, did have a lifelong legacy and pity.
If he could somehow make up for the aftermath because he called out to his grandfather and promised to take care of the aftermath for him, he was willing to do so.
This means that Cheng Zhong's attitude towards Xu Shoujun has also undergone important changes unconsciously.
In short, two completely opposite people, within the framework of traditional Chinese ethics, reached a consensus at this moment and miraculously established a stable relationship......
The next morning, everyone gathered in the kitchen for breakfast as usual.
Xu Shoujun held Cheng Zhong in one hand and a bottle of Moutai that had been collected for many years in the other, and strode into the kitchen.
With Cheng Zhong by his side and spiritual sustenance, he slept peacefully at night, and the moment he stepped into the kitchen, he had a relaxed smile.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ying, Xu Long and Li Qiang, who were already in the kitchen, were stunned and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Cheng Zhong was also very uncomfortable.
One of his hands was pulled by Xu Shoujun, his steps were a little staggering, and his face also showed a suspicious expression, as if he had become a big boy who recognized people and feared people.
"Ho-ho, the old man has something to announce.
Last night, I reached a consensus with Cheng Zhong that we will be a family in the future, sharing blessings and difficulties.
Whoever wants to drink the joy wine, go find the cup himself!"
Xu Shoujun smiled all over his face and said loudly as if no one was around.
When Zhao Ying heard this, although he was puzzled, he immediately took action
He first found two large glasses of drinking water and put them on the dinner table of the two protagonists.
Xu Long and Li Qiang took a bowl out of the kitchen cabinet by themselves.
Zhao Ying took a step slower, and there was no empty bowl.
After a moment's thought, he picked up the porridge on his table and poured it back into the pot, holding the empty bowl full of rice grains.
Li Qiang snatched the wine bottle and poured it evenly for everyone.
Cheng Zhong didn't want to drink more, so he poured half of his wine to Zhao Ying again.
Five people, young and old, raised their glasses together, drank on an empty stomach, and a pound of Moutai instantly entered the stomach.
Only then do you start eating breakfast.
After the meal, Xu Shoujun took Cheng Zhong and carried a large hot water bottle, still going up to the second floor to drink tea and chat.
When Cheng Zhong was in his hometown, he often accompanied his grandparents to drink "canned tea".
"Canned tea" is very bitter, far less sweet and delicious than "Three Bubble Table".
Therefore, he has now fallen in love with Xu Shoujun's "Three Bubbles".
When they arrived at the living room on the second floor, the two made tea together, and then sat on the comfortable sofa and tasted tea "Su, Su".
Unexpectedly, the tea tasted a little, and Xu Shoujun couldn't sit still.
He stood up, approached Cheng Zhong, and said mysteriously:
"Good grandson, grandpa still wants you to see the true ability of my 'One X Dao', do you want to go?"
"If you go, you can go, and if you are idle, you will be idle anyway. Cheng Zhong said.
His curiosity had been aroused by Xu Shoujun.
"Then come with me, I still have a secret room,"
Xu Shoujun said with a somewhat conspicuous wink.
He pulled the bell and quickly went downstairs, and when he reached the basement floor, he opened another secret room.
The secret room is about 30 square meters.
On the wall in front of the entrance hangs a "thangka" statue, which is a statue of a goddess.
In front of the statue of the god is a huge Nanmu incense case, in the center of the case is a bronze incense burner, and on the ground below the case, there are three pure wool worship blankets.
Xu Shoujun bent forward, lit three pillars of slender incense, and inserted them in the bronze incense burner.
Cigarettes rose in a curling stream, and a good smell of agarwood filled the room.
He knelt on the middle rug, and motioned for Cheng Zhong to kneel on another rug.
Cheng Zhong pretended not to see it, but just stood with his hands folded.
Xu Shoujun had no choice but to bow down alone and kowtow respectfully three times.
"Let me first let you see the first divine skill in the Dao - 'Fu Ping'. ”
Xu Shoujun stood up and said to Cheng Zhong while making a gesture.
He took out a small and delicate table and placed it in the center of the incense table.
Then he turned his head to Cheng Zhong and said:
"It's called the 'incense table'. There are many forms of 'Fu Ping', and today there are not enough people, so we can only 'incense table'. ”
Cheng Zhong looked at the incense table from a distance with a puzzled gaze, watching Xu Shoujun's every move.
Xu Shoujun motioned for Cheng Zhong to pass over and asked him to grab the two legs of the "incense table".
Xu Shoujun himself also grabbed the other two legs of the "incense table".
Cheng Zhong felt a little ridiculous, and just wanted to speak.
Suddenly, the small "incense table" in his hand slammed upward, startling him.
Then, with the support of the two people, the "incense table" continued to beat up and down.
Cheng Zhong was more puzzled and wanted to let go of his hands, but his hands seemed to be firmly glued to the legs of the "incense table".
At first, Cheng Zhong thought that Xu Shoujun was moving with him.
After a while, he realized that Xu Shoujun also seemed to be moving with the "incense table".
Just when Cheng Zhong was puzzled, the "incense table" stopped on the incense case with a "bang".
Cheng Zhong naturally let go of his hands.
"No Buddha Maitreya!
Today, I would like to ask the 'old man' to solve the doubts and doubts of the disciples, and both disciples want to ask what the future holds?"
Xu Shoujun's eyes were staring at the statue, and there were words in his mouth.
He took out two pieces of yellow paper from under the incense case and spread them out on top of the incense case.
Then, he motioned for the bell again, and the two of them put their hands on the legs of the "incense table" again.
The "incense table" moved again, this time the radiance of the movement was very small, and the bell only needed to be gently held.
The "incense table" began to write on yellow paper.
After writing, the "incense table" fell back to the incense case, and there was no movement.
"It's really strange, the method of 'helping the beggar' is so magical, and the little 'incense table' is really like a god descending!"
Cheng Zhong thought in horror at the moment.
Seeing Xu Shoujun kneeling down to worship the blanket again, Cheng Zhong didn't dare to slack off anymore, and quickly knelt on the ground, learning from Xu Shoujun's appearance, and bowed his head respectfully.
After the two of them got up, they began to read the words left on the yellow paper by the "incense table".
There are four lines of poetry on each of the two sheets of yellow paper.
One of the clouds:
"Young men are born bold and bold,
Dare to test high with strong beams.
Someday with God's help,
Heaven and earth are free to fly. ”
The second cloud:
"Longyou shoal was played by shrimp,
Tiger fell Pingchuan and was bullied by dogs.
If you know the way to come,
The weir died down and went home. ”
The moral of these two poems is not profound, and it is not difficult to understand at all.
It seems to be a prophecy of the fate of the future of two people.
However, the two prophecies are very different.
One seems to be extremely good, and the other seems to be extremely bad.
Xu Shoujun and Cheng Zhong exchanged the two pieces of paper and read it, and they were all shocked.
The hearts of the two of them are like mirrors.
"Providence is so, Providence is so!"
Xu Shoujun muttered to himself in a desperate and decadent tone.
His face was a bit like the yellow paper in his hand, and cold sweat was like water, flowing in the wrinkles on his face.
Cheng Zhong leaned over and silently grabbed Xu Shoujun's hand.
Neither of them spoke, and the secret room was so quiet that it seemed that a pin could be heard if it had dropped.
Five minutes passed.
Five minutes is short, but it seems infinitely long.
Suddenly, Xu Shoujun's laughter rang out:
"Hahaha......"
Cheng Zhong was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he looked at the old man's distorted expression.
"I ...... I've lived long enough, let's die, what's there to fear?
Fortunately, Cheng Zhong's grandson was able to get this wonderful sign, and he will soar into the sky one day, and his future is limitless.
What a congratulations!
Take a walk and have a drink with grandpa. ”
Xu Shoujun said loudly.
His mood changed rapidly, like a thunderstorm at the turn of summer and autumn, just said it, and turned from cloudy to sunny in a blink of an eye.
In fact, after reading the poems written by the "incense table", Cheng Zhong was already ecstatic in his heart.
It's just that considering Xu Shoujun's feelings, he suppressed himself and didn't reveal his joy.
Now when he heard Xu Shoujun say this, he didn't dare to talk too much, so he silently followed Xu Shoujun upstairs.
It's still half an hour before lunch.
Seeing Xu Shoujun coming in with another bottle of treasured Moutai wine, Zhao Ying hurriedly greeted him with a smile, quickly put on the dishes and chopsticks, and also came over to drink.
"I don't have your share for the time being, let's go and cook the meal first. ”
Xu Shoujun said unceremoniously to Zhao Ying.
The old and the young sat there clinking glasses and drinking.
In front of Zhao Ying, Xu Shoujun no longer called Cheng Zhong "grandson".
Cheng Zhong didn't want to drink too much, so he just took a sip and accompanied Xu Shoujun.
"To say that this method of 'helping the beggar' is not the creation of 'one X way', but has been passed down from generation to generation from the ancients, and the forms are also diverse and strange.
Sometimes it's very accurate, and sometimes it's not necessarily.
The point is that those who ask God will make mistakes in their understanding. ”
After a few big cups, Xu Shoujun became drunk and talked more......
