Chapter 3: Grandpa's Legacy

On the other end of the phone of "Little Fourth Brother", Bart almost cried.

"Why are you still crying? People of this age still like to cry? ”

"No, I'm just a little moved, do you know how long I've been waiting for this call?"

"Okay you kid, I'll pack up and buy the fastest plane here, Bart, I've read all the contents of the letter, I'll ask you one last time, do you really think it's not normal for Kang Bao to disappear?"

"I swear with my life, fourth brother, it is absolutely not normal for Kang Bao to disappear, although the grassland is big, but I don't believe it if I lose it like this." Bart's affirmation completely dispelled my last hesitation.

"Okay, I know, it will take a few days for me to come over, I want to give you a very important task, you have to roughly draw the environment around Keshik, you don't need to mark in detail the special location and river direction of the mountain and river branch, if it is really as you said that Kang Bao is missing inexplicably, then Keshik should not go recently, wait for me to come, let's go together, by the way, the equipment for mountaineering is ready."

"Fourth brother, you can rest assured, but why do you still need to prepare things for mountaineering?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, didn't Kang Bao say that he looked at the gold mountain, I don't know if there is gold, but if there is really a mountain, let's go up the mountain with our bare hands?"

"I understand, I understand, it's still the fourth brother who thinks thoughtfully, I'll pick you up when you get to Hailar."

"Okay, let's do this first, I'll talk about it later, I have to prepare."

Hung up the phone, I'm also a little blindsided, I'm familiar with this "Wind and Water" is true, but never in actual combat, and even I don't know anything about how to look at Feng Shui, it's just that, the blind cat killed the mouse, and I went to see the tricks.

Now that the overall policy has been decided, now it's up to Uncle Zhou, I don't know when I'll be able to come back, if it's fast, I'll be back in a few days, and if it's slow, I'll be beating the drum in my heart, and I don't want to hide this from Uncle Zhou and my family, more than ten years of upbringing, I have already regarded this place as my home.

After thinking about it, I decided to talk about it with everyone.

"Uncle Zhou, little sister, I have something I want to tell you." I pushed open the door and looked at Uncle Zhou and my little sister who were watching TV.

"Brother, you just cried? No, you secretly hid a little lover in Inner Mongolia," Zhou Yan looked at me with a wicked smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, is your brother and I that kind of person? I'm a straight man of steel," I was completely dismissive of Zhou Yan's words.

"Xiaoyan, you like to be poor with your brother, just talk about something Si'er, I feel that you are wrong from the moment you enter the house."

"Well, Uncle Zhou, there is a childhood playmate in my hometown who disappeared in the grassland, Bart wrote to me with some details, he knows that my family has been a feng shui master for generations, and he wants me to go with him to find it." I repeated it as briefly as I could, as far as I could from Barth's letter.

Zhou Yan listened to it on the side, she was more concerned about me being able to see feng shui than Kang Bao's disappearance, and kept pestering me to ask if I would cross the catastrophe? Will it be a monster hunt.

Not only did I have a big head for a while, but I watched too much of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery", but Uncle Zhou lit a cigarette next to him thoughtfully, and fell into a deep silence.

"Si'er, I've been treating you as my own son for so many years, I don't know much about your family, but I've heard about it, your dad knows feng shui and can tell fortunes, if he is still alive, I'm afraid he will inherit your grandfather's last wish now, it's a pity that the grenade, took his life but also gave me a second life, I owe your dad a life in my life, what you said, if that's true, there are indeed a lot of strange things, we have seen a lot of bizarre and inexplicable things in the years when we were soldiers, I don't object to you going, But have you really made up your mind? I used to pester your dad to teach me this, and your dad told me that if you touch this thing, you won't be able to take it off for the rest of your life. ”

Uncle Zhou's words stopped me at once, feng shui, feng shui, after hiding for so many years, you still found me.

But after thinking about it, it's important to save people, and besides, I don't believe that there is such a mystery, isn't it a joke to retreat at this time.

"I've got Uncle Zhou, if feng shui can really save people, then I must give it a try."

"Okay, men have to be so decisive in doing things, you are also older, I believe you have judgment, Si'er, since you have decided to use feng shui, then uncle will no longer hide one thing from you, when I took you away, your grandfather gave me 4 things, your book is just one of them, and there are three things your grandfather told me, if you become a feng shui master one day, I will give it to you, if you don't do it properly, it will rot in my place."

I was speechless in shock, "Wh... What is it? ”

Uncle Zhou was silent, turned around and went back to his room, rummaged for a long time and took out a wooden box that was not big or small.

"This is what your grandfather left for you, you can open it yourself and see it, there is one thing in it that I haven't seen either, and your grandfather said that you can only dismantle it."

I recognize this box, when I was a child, my grandfather would wipe this wooden box if he was fine, and then put it under his bed, I was beaten by my father in order to peek at this wooden box, and in the end I didn't see anything in the wooden box, grandpa and my mother always laughed next to me, saying that I would know when I was older.

Things are not people, and the wooden box that I was chasing at home and not letting me see is now in my hands, but my relatives have left, and I am the only one left to live in the world. Holding the wooden box, I seemed to see the old man sitting on the edge of the field smoking dry tobacco again, and my parents were picking beans on the side.

"Mom, Dad, grandpa, I've grown up, I can watch it." He whispered softly, then slowly opened the wooden box.

The top of the box is placed a jade gourd the size of a finger belly, the whole jade gourd is not a hollow core, but a whole piece of jade carving, exuding a transparent emerald green in the sun, the jade heart is stained with a small amount of dark green, it looks like a miniature version of the child is conceived in the middle, is looking at you with a bright eye, the gourd layer is engraved with the Taoist nine-character mantra "the soldiers are arrayed forward", the gourd belly is engraved with the heaven and earth west and east four square Tibetan armor, the bottom seal has a small seal "Yangguan Road".

I took out the jade gourd boy and carefully looked at it for a long time, this jade gourd is not big or small, when the pendant is not there a hanging ring, the waist is on it, the whole body is round and not firm, elusive how to use, I only know that the feng shui master usually carries a gourd ornament, the gourd homonym Fulu, there is a safe said, but this jade gourd does not know where to put it.

I put down the jade gourd, take out the second thing, this is obviously a listing, seems to be made of an indescribable wood, half a palm is big, both sides of the brand are engraved with the dragon and phoenix auspicious map, the middle of the tag with cursive dragon flying phoenix dance carved with three big characters "Si Tianjian", behind the listing is the intersection of the depiction of 36 Tiangang and the Big Dipper 72 earth evil stars, different from the jade gourd, the jade gourd seems to be the magic of nature, and this tag fully embodies the supreme realm of the ancient seal carving art, A left and a right dragon and phoenix Chengxiang just a cursory glance feel that this dragon and phoenix is full of charm, savoring it is a kind of courage to rush out of the listing and go straight to the sky, behind the thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two Beidou are cumbersome and complex, but under the craftsman's carving knife in an orderly manner, neat and clean, cursive "Si Tianjian" is written not limited to the pattern of heaven and earth.

Grandpa's last relic was laid at the bottom of the box, wrapped tightly with a clean black sesame cloth, I took it out, not to mention, it was a little heavy, I carefully unwrapped the cloth, and suddenly a chill was transmitted from my hands to my whole body, the temperature around me seemed to drop rapidly, and the cold wrapped you tightly like spring rain, I couldn't help but look at Uncle Zhou and Xiaomei, but they were always as usual, Xiaomei even urged me to open it quickly.

"Uncle Zhou, this thing seems to be a little weird" I go to Uncle Zhou, for me, Uncle Zhou is well-informed here, and he has indeed seen a lot.

Uncle Zhou took the relic that opened the corner, and couldn't help but shudder the moment he touched it.

"I'm afraid this thing has killed a lot of people, and it has a strong disgust and murderous aura."

"Dad, there really is this kind of calligraphy." Zhou Yan touched it and shuddered and asked.

"Yes, this is the same as people, it is a unique temperament, people who have killed people and people who have not killed people stand together, the aura is different, although these objects have no life, but they will also have this different temperament in such an environment for a long time, Si'er, open it and take a look, your grandfather must have a special reason for leaving him to you."

I nodded, I understand Uncle Zhou's words very well, all things have spirits, people are just the embodiment of spirits, and the spirit of artifacts is a fragment that needs to be collected over a long period of time, but once there is a spirit, it will be eternal and indelible.

I uncovered all the black linen, and in an instant it seemed as if a sharp sword rose up to the sky and came straight to my brow, and I sat down in a hurry, allowing it to pierce me.

However, the sword disappeared without a trace in an instant from the tip of the eyebrows, all this was too real, and I was in a cold sweat behind my back, and my legs were weak, I closed my eyes and opened my eyes calmly for a long time, looking at the utensils in my hands, which turned out to be a pair of gloves.

The gloves are only one-sided, can only be put on the right hand, the whole body is black and shiny, carefully observe the fact that this black is a special lacquer, covering up the color of the material itself, the inside of the gloves is worn off the paint piece reveals the silver gray of the material itself, the front of the glove wraps the entire palm, the back extends to the half of the arm, the palm part seems to be all made of the silver-gray substance, the arm part is a combination of soft cowhide and scale armor, look at the shape, it seems that the two parts are not made in the same period, the arm part is added later.

The finger of the thumb, index finger, and ring finger fingertips are respectively engraved with the Qian, Gen, Kun, corresponding to the door, the door of life, and the door of death, and the back of the hand is engraved with a complete Bagua Zhou Tian map, and the index finger and ring finger have a secret mouth, there seems to be a safety bolt next to the thumb, and the bottom mouth will pop up two and a half palm-long diamond thread nails, the nail pieces are extremely sharp, the whole body is mixed with diamonds, and the palm is engraved with eight characters into the gossip position distribution "Heavenly Master unloads the armor, the mountains and rivers are useless" There is a kickback in the middle of the hexagram, After holding it down, it seemed that something was put in, and I rummaged through the wooden box, but I couldn't find the core.

"Could it be that grandpa forgot to give it?" I don't just beat the drum in my heart.

"Brother, don't you think this jade gourd is put inside?" Zhou Yan's sentence directly made me feel empowered, this girl is finally smart once.

I carefully put the gourd in and buckled the kickback, and the sound of mechanical gears turning came from inside the glove, and then the gourd was locked in the glove.

The moment it was crushed, the sharp aura of the glove disappeared without a trace, and the murderous aura disappeared completely.

"Sure enough, this jade gourd is an object of the balancing vessel, and the jade warmth nourishes people, dispersing the murderous aura of this glove and avoiding the killing of the utensil." Uncle Zhou said thoughtfully.

Seeing this, I not only admired the wisdom of the ancients, but such a delicate glove is already at the level of a work of art, not to mention such a magical reason for mutual restraint.

"All things have spirits, one eliminates the other"

Feng Shui focuses on balance, and if it is excessive, it will be chaotic, and if it is bad, it will be lost.

Grandpa left this thing to me, which means that I can revive the Lin family, and it is also to let me always understand the balance of all things, so I don't have to squint.

"Si'er, now I have handed over these things to you in accordance with your grandfather's wishes, and my uncle wants to persuade you again, if you can't do it, don't force it, don't think your uncle's words are not good, I always have a feeling that you are out of this door, I am afraid that you will go to another life, maybe the result will not be as easy to let go as you said." I'm afraid of you... I'm afraid I'll never see you again. "It's been decades, the first time I saw Uncle Zhou crying, I felt a taste in my heart, as Uncle Zhou said, I have a hunch that this journey will make me embark on a different life trajectory forever.

I stood up and kowtowed to Uncle Zhou three times.

"Don't worry, I'll be back safely."

What is the best way back, and what is the road?

After many years, when I think back to my original decision, I can't help but sigh endlessly, if I stay, what will it be like?
