For more than a year, to Luo's medical treatment and medicine, the silver spent more than half, Chang gritted his teeth and bought a house with the last dozen taels of silver, and began to support two children by weaving straw hats, the eldest of these two children is called Ding Ruiqi, the second is called Ding Ruizong, the eldest Ding Ruiqi is not as good as his younger brother, and secondly, he thinks that he is his elder brother, and he began to walk the streets and alleys to sell straw hats at a young age (since Luo's death, the two children began to call Chang's nǎinǎi, although Chang's legs are lame, but his hands are very skillful, and the straw hat is well braided, His legs and feet are not good, so he made it up at home, let Ding Ruiqi take it out and sell it), squeeze money from between his teeth to let his younger brother go to the school to study, hoping that his younger brother can one day get ahead and glorify his ancestors, although Ding Ruizong inherited the wisdom of his father Ding Yi, but what he thought about in his head is another thing, since he saw his father Ding Yi die tragically, Ding Ruizong came up with an idea: If there were no those evil and crooked things, or he had the ability to remove those things at that time, what a happy family the old Ding family would be?...

In the sixth year of Xianfeng, the old lady Chang suffered from wind and cold, and died not long after, and the brothers buried Chang with some of their last savings (although Chang was not like Luo's for a year, but it didn't cost less to ask Lang Zhong to catch medicine), and began to think about what to do in the future, at that time, the eldest Ding Ruiqi still hoped that his younger brother could continue to study to gain fame, but after burying Chang, the brothers were penniless, and Ding Ruiqi himself understood that nǎinǎi was gone, and it was impossible to rely on weaving straw hats for his younger brother to study, Moreover, at this time, the world is in chaos, and dozens of taels of silver can be donated to fame. Ten gold ingots are better than ten years of cold windows. In such a world, what is the use of gaining fame?

After some discussion, the brothers decided to ask Chang Laogang, a former villager in the same village (who worked as a fireman in a teahouse), to help them find a helper in the teahouse to work first, and then plan when they have the opportunity.

Honestly. A teahouse, not much helper, the brothers begged the teahouse Dilu shopkeeper, but they barely stayed. But there was no salary, only two meals, and even so, the two were very content, but the good times did not last long. The teahouse was not good because of the business, and it couldn't support the two brothers, and the brothers could only leave one, just when the brothers were worried, the teahouse came to a tea-drinking veteran, about forty years old. It is known as the big apprentice of Wudang Mountain Fuzhen Guan Zuoqiu Yang Zuo Zhenren, named Shen Fangzhuo, and this time he came to Shi En to see the county master's family. Hearing that this person was a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, Ding Ruizong came to the momentum, knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow to the master, which frightened Shen Daochang, and after hearing what happened to the two brothers. Shen Daochang frowned, firstly, because he felt sorry for the Ding family, and secondly, he was surprised by the ghost things in the Chang family's camp. Ding Ruizong is a smart child, as soon as he saw that Shen Daochang's expression changed, he immediately kowtowed with snot and tears, this Shen Daochang was also moved by compassion at this moment, although he did not agree to Ding Ruizong's acceptance of apprentices, but thinking that at this time there was a shortage of wood-chopping handymen in the temple, so he brought Ding Ruizong back to Wudang Mountain.

Within two years of Ding Ruizong's departure, the teahouse was closed. Lu shopkeeper saw that this Ding Ruiqi got up early every day and was greedy for darkness is a person who can endure hardships, and his heart is not bad, so he reminded him that young people should be ambitious in all directions, instructed him to go to Hankou to live a certain life, and gave him two hangings of money as travel expenses before leaving, after a thousand thanks, Ding Ruiqi went to Hankou and became an apprentice in a shoe store, the owner of the shoe store was surnamed Wu, and had an only daughter, who looked pretty good, but he couldn't marry because of the cataract, and he couldn't get married. Ding Ruiqi has not had a day to eat since his mother's death, he has low self-esteem, how can he miss such a good thing, he happily agreed to Boss Wu's request, became the son-in-law of the Wu family, and married the Wu family, the problem came again, no matter how hard this Ding Ruiqi tried, this Wu family is not pregnant, this can make Ding Ruiqi anxious, his younger brother went to become a Taoist priest, I am afraid there will be no queen, and if he can't have another child, won't this old Ding family be rooted? (Ding Ruiqi believes that Taoism is similar to Buddhism, and marriage is not allowed after entering the Taoist sect, but in fact, most Taoist sects have a very positive attitude towards marriage, and the early Taoist scripture "Taiping Jing" even has the saying that "yīn yang does not make friends, but it is extinction and no world.") ）

rì complex one rì, more anxious than Ding Ruiqi is the Wu shopkeeper, because in the old society, women without a queen will commit the "seven out" rule, the husband is at any time has a reason to repair his wife, this Wu family was born with a son, already guilty of the "seven out" in the "evil disease" taboo, at this time if you add a "no queen", even if it makes trouble to the yamen, Ding Ruiqi also takes advantage of it, therefore, this Wu shopkeeper takes care of this Ding Ruiqi in every way, obeys his words, and comes to buy shoes, most of them think that Wu is a buddy, and directly ask Ding Ruiqi to call the shopkeeper when he enters the door.

After Ding Ruizong arrived in Wudang Mountain, he started to do some chores such as going up the mountain to chop wood, washing rice and vegetables, but he was smart in his life, and he secretly watched the Dharma every day to learn martial arts. Originally, stealing martial arts in the view is a taboo and should be expelled from the mountain gate, but after this Zuo Zhenren asked Ding Ruizong about the ins and outs of going up the mountain, not only did he not drive him down the mountain, but ordered Shen Fangzhuo, the big disciple who took him up the mountain, to accept him as an apprentice, at this time Ding Ruizong was officially entered the Tao, in the eighteenth year of Guangxu, Zuoqiu Yang Zhenren feathered, Shen Fangzhuo Zhenren succeeded to the teaching position, and Ding Ruizong also became the head of the disciple, from then on, Ding Ruizong took the name Yun Lingzi, and began to use this number to go down the mountain to treat the common people and drive away evil spirits.

"Ahh It's the right number! Zhang Guozhong let out a long sigh, "Zuo Qiu Yang Zhenren can be regarded as a generation of grandmasters, no wonder this Yun Lingzi's cultivation even respects the family teacher by three points, so that's the case!" So why did he become a Han jiān? ”

"Zhang Zhangjiao, Yun Lingzi is not a Han jiān!" Sun Ting smiled slightly, "There are many misunderstandings about him in the world, in fact, this Yun Lingzi endured humiliation and burden, just to kill the enemy and serve the country, but in the end he took the name of Han Jiān, which is really a great sadness for the Daomen!" ”

"Oh? May I hear it! Zhang Guozhong seemed to be very interested in this Sun Tingla's homely narrative.

In the summer of the twentieth year of Guangxu. Yun Lingzi felt that his time had come, so he prepared to clean up the corpse refining furnace in the Changjia camp. At this time, the Changjia camp was already a frightening place, and even legends could hear ghosts crying ten miles away, and the yamen had sent people to investigate. But no one could come back after going to the land, and even the yamen didn't dare to ask anymore. At that time, Shen Zhenren was very worried that Yun Lingzi went to Changjiaying alone, and insisted on sending a few disciples with him. He even wanted to accompany his apprentice to the corpse refining kiln in person, but was rejected by Yun Lingzi, and after formulating a detailed plan based on the remaining memories of the year, Yun Lingzi went to the Changjia camp alone.

After coming to Changjiaying, Yun Lingzi really went through a toss of death. But in the end, the corpse refining kiln was broken, when Yun Lingzi returned to Fuzhen Temple with a fragment of the corpse refining kiln, Shen Zhenren was really surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that his big apprentice, the young man who ran the teahouse back then, would actually break the corpse refining kiln by himself, and even his master Zuoqiu Yang Zhenren was not 100% sure of breaking the corpse refining kiln. And Yun Lingzi himself is also famous because of this incident, the people of ten miles and eight towns will give a thumbs up when they mention the three words Yun Lingzi, and even the leaders of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan have made a special trip to Wudang Mountain to visit because of this matter.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhang Guozhong was impressed by this corpse refining kiln at this time, "Maoshan's home also went?" Then... Should be... It should be Ma Yanzheng's real person, right? ”

"I don't know about this, because the book left by Yun Lingzi is not recorded." Sun Ting said.

"He has books too?" Zhang Guozhong's eyes widened.

"That's it..."Sun Ting took out an inconspicuous booklet from the pile of ancient books and handed it to Zhang Guozhong, "This "Yun Ling Xiaozhi" is written by Yun Lingzi. Like Ding Yi's "Xiaochen's Testament", this book not only records Yun Lingzi's lifelong learning, but also has a narrative record of his life experience, including the method of breaking the corpse refining kiln, which is all on it, but I can't understand it. If Zhang Zhangjiao teaches you to be interested in this thing, I can give it to you. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Guozhong couldn't wait to take over this "Yun Ling Xiao Zhi", page by page, in Zhang Guozhong's view, this book is very different from "Maoshan Shuzhi", most of the content of "Maoshan Shuzhi" belongs to the theoretical narrative, and this "Yun Ling Xiaozhi" is directly based on the actual cāo description, and the five sects and eight factions are caught where to write, feng shui cures and exorcises ghosts and evil spirits, although the narrative is simple, but the practical value is much higher than "Maoshan Shuzhi".

"If Zhang Zhangjiao wants to read this book, can we talk about it for the time being, and continue tomorrow?" Sun Ting found that Zhang Guozhong's attention had been completely attracted by this "Yunling Xiaozhi".

"No, no... Mr. Sun, I like your story very much, I want to know what happened to Yun Lingzi in the end. Hearing Sun Ting say this, Zhang Guozhong also felt a little rude, hurriedly closed the book, and smiled awkwardly at Sun Ting.

After that, Yun Lingzi traveled all the year round, and his brother Ding Ruiqi's contact gradually decreased, when he arrived in the Republic of China, due to the war, the contact between the two was interrupted for a time, Ding Ruiqi has no children, but he has not thought about repairing his wife, first, Wu shopkeeper is really good to himself, and secondly, this Wu family is indeed virtuous enough, although he can't see things, but he knows that his man loves to eat peanuts, so he gives Ding Ruiqi peanuts to eat every day, which makes Ding Ruiqi very moved. When Guangxu was in the twentieth year, Wu's shopkeeper died of illness, and when he was dying, he only had one last word, that is, he hoped that Ding Ruiqi would not repair his wife, although the atmosphere at that time was very sad, but Ding Ruiqi was almost happy, so many years of getting along, why did this old man always think that he was always thinking about his wife...

Light yīn like an arrow, time soon arrived in the Republic of China, in the past, Ding Ruiqi also found someone to tell his fortune, but the conclusion of the calculation is that there is a side heir to the end, although I don't understand what this "side heir" means, but the "heir" this hot pot can be enough for Ding Ruiqi to hold for decades, and then as he is getting older, the dream of having a child is shattered, there is no play when he was young, this age is still a fart, but just when he was disheartened, strange things came out, this night, Wu suddenly made a fuss to eat watermelon, This Wu family has never made trouble to eat anything in his life, why did he think of eating watermelon? In Ding Ruiqi's impression, there seems to be a melon and fruit stall in the north of the city that sells watermelons, but there are not many of them every time, just a few, and you have to go early to buy them, so before dawn the next morning, Ding Ruiqi got dressed and went to buy watermelons for his wife...
