Chapter 11: The Past of the Glove (Lin Yuan and Chen Yuan)

Under Bart's exclamation, Naren and Yin Hesheng's faces also became strange, but unlike Bart and Naren's surprise and fear, a little sly smile appeared on Yin Hesheng's face, and then he looked at me with interest, as if he was looking forward to my next move.

At this time, I was surprisingly calm, everyone's expressions and movements failed to escape my eyes, not so much the gold steel threaded nails of the gloves but the killing intent that was cold into the bone marrow shocked a few people in front of me, this is my last hole card, although most of the use of gloves I only know that there is no actual combat or no environment for me to experiment, but from "Wind and Water" I probably understand that this unilateral glove is similar to a compass to provide auxiliary reference for the direction in the book, another major role is to kill evil.

Feng Shui nourishes people, but it can also kill people; As the saying goes, it is better to believe that it exists, not to believe that it is not, there are too many things in the world that cannot be explained, since ancient times, the evil things mainly come from two families, one is a feng shui master, and the other is an inverted bucket person, but even if it is an inverted bucket, many of them are also inextricably linked with feng shui.

"Wind and Water" is not all an introduction to Feng Shui, and there are many additional pages that the ancestors of the past generations recorded many special events in their lives in the book, so as to remind future generations of descendants, including the additional pages of an ancestor in the early Ming Dynasty, which recorded the most bizarre thing he encountered in the industry for 40 years, and when I read it, it made me feel a cold sweat on my back, how I can't see the literary style of this old ancestor clearly, but the literary style of the elder of the clan translated into the vernacular of later generations is simply expressive, and the words are as they are, After reading it at the time, I even thought that this old ancestor's side business must be a storyteller in a teahouse.

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, in order to restore social stability and send a large number of talents to the imperial court to solve the social turmoil caused by the war, Zhu Yuanzhang fully developed the foundation of education, carried out the imperial examination, established the Guozijian, and ordered the state and county of the country to set up official schools as a place for scholars in the world to study. For a while, literature and ink flourished, and both rich children and poor students once again saw the hope of going to a career.

At that time, the ancestor gave up the old house in the north in order to avoid the war, and hid all the way south into a small border city in Henan Province, because he was not familiar with the place of life when he first arrived here, and probably the problem of dialect, the family placement was once in trouble, and a large family surnamed Chen helped in time to help him, so he lived a relatively stable life, and when the war ended, the world was peaceful again, the old ancestor gathered the clansmen to prepare to return to the old house in the north, and when he left, the ancestor went to the home of the benefactor surnamed Chen to say goodbye, This is where the story begins.

The reason why the Chen family was a big landlord at that time was said to be because the Chen family had a big official before, and the Chen family also took advantage of the blessing of the ancestors for a few years. However, the world is impermanent, since their ancestors came out of this big official, there is no high school person in the family, at most it will be a governor, but although the family can not be famous, but in this small city is more than enough, but after the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty and the disaster of the Ming and Qing dynasties at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, now the family has long since lost its former glory, according to the current words can only be regarded as a small landlord, the current head of the Chen family is surnamed Chen Mingyuan, is a warm-hearted person known to everyone in the city, and helping the ancestors is just unintentional, But after getting acquainted with his ancestors, he knew that the Lin family relied on feng shui to live, but in this troubled world, everyone was in danger, and no one would take care of feng shui, so he never revealed it.

Chen Yuan was quite concerned after hearing this, and from time to time he asked his ancestor about feng shui, and the ancestor also knew everything, because the ancestor was much younger than this Chen Yuan, so the two also formed a friendship that forgot the year.

Later, the ancestor went to Chen's house to say goodbye to Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan heard that the old tears were crossed, he was nearly sixty years old, he was already considered an advanced age, this walk was afraid that it would be goodbye forever, and the ancestor also knew that this farewell was afraid that it would be difficult to meet again in this life, not only gloomy and sad, but also a drunk party at night.

Drinking in the evening, during the banquet, Chen Yuan drank wine and passed three rounds, signaling everyone to retreat, leaving only the ancestors and him, and the next people retreated, Chen Yuan chatted with the ancestors, and said, "Brother Lin Yuan, although you and I have known each other for a short time, but it is like old at first sight, and now the foolish brother has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately said that he would mention it casually, as long as it was within the bounds, he would never shirk it.

Chen Yuan was instantly overjoyed when he heard this, and he drank a cup and said slowly, "Brother Lin Yuan doesn't know, my Chen family's ancestor was an official and worshiped Zhenger, and that's exactly the case, so my Chen family has accumulated these family wealth all the way, but since then, my Chen family has never been able to produce a high-ranking official, and now the dynasty has changed, I heard that the emperor is from the common people, and he hates the squire the most in his life. ”

Lin Yuan was also a smart person, and he understood the meaning of Chen Yuan's words as soon as he heard it.

"Brother, don't worry, the change of dynasty is the reincarnation of heaven that cannot be resisted by manpower, and the same is true of the rise and fall of the family, but the small family is not everyone, everyone's luck and Zhou Tianhuan can not change their lives, the small family does not have such momentum, but it can reverse the situation, and I will come to the house again tomorrow to take a look."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't want to be rich and rich, as long as there was a person with great luck among the descendants of this family to ensure that the family would not be defeated.

The next day, Lin Yuan came to Chen's house early to visit, Lin Yuan had recorded that the feng shui of the Chen family is a typical style of passing through the hall, although it occupies a pool of two depressions to form a small copper plate phase, but looking around the whole small city north and south terrain is obviously high, the Chen family is impartial and just built on the opposite exit of these two mountains, as if the mountain wind crosses the Chen family but will not stay in the Chen family in the end, this feng shui terrain is not good but definitely not bad, although the Chen family has no atmospheric luck, but it can also intersect with the luck, the so-called can't eat the broth can always drink a little.

This feng shui pattern is too simple for Lin Yuan, but God will not leave all good things to one person, the north slope is the most intense, and there are many cliffs outside the city, as if a long knife is split horizontally in the mountains, it is the phase, the south of the city is slightly lower, the slope is gentle and there are many depressions, the trees are more dense than the north, woody and wealthy, the south is relatively more like a wealth-making phase, the two can only choose one of them, the family moves to the mountain pass, and the north is a steep slope. Entering the door and rushing to the north and going out to the west symbolizes that the official needs to be cautious every step of the way, and the sunset is not late to return, and the south is to settle down slowly, and enter the door to rush to the south and go out to the south, symbolizing that it is not easy to make money, do not scatter wealth.

Lin Yuan told Chen Yuan his thoughts, Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, since ancient times, businessmen have no status, what do officials want, and then said that it is better to be in the north, so Lin Yuan gave Chen Yuan a well-being in the north of the city, and has been guarding the foundation of Chen Yuan's house before he was ready to lead the people to return north, on the day of parting, Chen Yuan held a banquet to entertain the Lin family, and after the banquet, he called Lin Yuan to go to the inner room alone, and he didn't know how to report Lin Yuan, the two were polite for a long time, Lin Yuan instructed, don't be greedy when the new house is built, this house is not the same as in the past, Heavenly justice has already reversed the heavenly opportunity, don't get an inch, and left the name of Chen Yuan's hometown in the north, hoping that one day the two of them will not be drunk again.

On the day of parting, Chen Yuan was sent to the post station outside the city, and the two parted.

This farewell is almost 10 years, this ten years Lin Yuan has been a lot of mansions, helped people see a lot of feng shui, the Lin family has returned to the former prosperous family state, just the day of autumn, the next person woke up Lin Yuan early, said from the post station to the fast horse urgent, Lin Yuan asked where to send it, the next person truthfully replied that it was Henan.

Lin Yuan chuckled in his heart when he heard this, pinched his fingers and calculated that Chen Yuan should be over seventy years old, this letter is afraid that it will be in vain, and he can't help but think of the past in his heart, after all, heaven and man are separated.

Lin Yuan opened the letter, the note was actually Chen Yuan's, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, it seemed that he had thought too much, this big brother was still alive.

The letter reads:

"Lin Yuan, a farewell for ten years, I don't know how you are now, as the saying goes, good people don't live long and bad people live for a thousand years, presumably you should live a good life now, I can't do it, my health is getting worse and worse, I may have been in the soil when you saw this letter, but it's okay, I haven't wanted to go to you all the time these years, but I can't get rid of the owner at home, and the letter I wrote is also a stone sinking into the sea, now it's okay, I'm free when I enter the soil, I can fly to you to ask for your life.

Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, you ungrateful villain, I thought you were pitiful, kindly took you in, and set up a mansion for you, to help you tide over the difficulties, in vain I trusted you so much, and asked you to help me live in the house, it's ridiculous that I still have a dream of getting ahead in the future for the younger generations in the family, it's sad and ridiculous, I think I've read countless people in my life, and I still looked away after all, but what I can't figure out is that I have no grievances with you Lin Yuan, why are you treating me like this, it's just that, I'm walking in front of you after all, Lin Yuan, you wait for me to ask for your life! ”

Lin Yuan was shocked by this terrible word, I don't know why Chen Yuan in the letter was so angry, he tried to recall those things at the beginning, hoping to find a clue, but he was never able to catch the abnormal information, from the letter it seems that Chen Yuan met a big disaster from time to time and it was caused by him, the Lin family has seen feng shui for a hundred years, and has never made a mistake, Lin Yuan himself is also a house countless and has never gone away, he also does not believe that he will make a mistake, he has to go back to Henan, Because this is not only the Lin family's century-old reputation, but also an explanation of this benefactor.

Without further ado, Lin Yuan held a clan meeting to explain the matter and hurriedly set foot on the road to Henan.

The small city is still the same, but it seems to be much more deserted than in the past, which is so incompatible with the peaceful and prosperous times, in order to avoid people's eyes, Lin Yuan turned into a foreign businessman's shape and mixed into the city, as soon as he entered the city, Lin Yuan felt that the city was strange, every few steps will see the white affairs hall, look carefully at the museum, each of which has a few or three more than five or six coffins.

"Where did so many dead people come from?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, and his pace became bigger.

Chen's house is not far away, just at the north entrance, but compared with the lively scene back then, today's Chen family is more like a big yin house, Lin Yuan has not yet reached the door and feels that the house is full of yin air, and the whole sky is dim by this yin qi, Lin Yuan wanted to knock on the door and enter, but after thinking about the content of the letter, I am afraid that there will be many unnecessary disasters when I go in at this time, it is better to inquire first, just at this time an elderly man passed by the door, only to see that the old man passed by the gate of the Chen family when he obviously accelerated his pace, if it were not for the old age and decay, he would have run wildly, Seeing this, Lin Yuan hurriedly chased after him.

"Old man, I was invited by a friend to come to this Chen house from Hunan as a guest, but no one answered when I knocked on the door, what does the old man know?"

The old man listened to Lin Yuan's words and looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"The Chen family? The Chen family is dead! ”
