Chapter 11: The Gift of the Master

After bowing, I took the nine sticks of incense from my uncle and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner, and this time, Master handed me three more sticks of incense.

"You light the incense, wait here for a while, and I'll go get something." After saying that, Master ignored me and went straight back to the room.

At that time, I just felt that the name Taixin was not bad, and I didn't know what it represented!

I waited for a while with the incense in my hand, and then I saw him walk out with a scroll in his hand.

"Taixin, our lineage, Master is the closest person, my Master, your Master is a loose person, his Taoism is to separate our Master, but he said that our lineage will be opened by him anew. Therefore, he is the ancestor of our new lineage. As he spoke, the old man slowly opened the scroll in his hand and hung it under the old gentleman's face. I don't understand, didn't I say before, I have a big teacher, and now it has become a teacher founded by my ancestors? But it is obvious that Uncle Shi doesn't want Master to say more, so let's wait for Uncle Shi to be gone.

"Taixin, your ancestor he doesn't like to be worshiped the most in his life, but as a disciple, as a disciple, as a disciple, your own mind must be fulfilled, your ancestor is the person I respect the most, you are my disciple, you must respect him more, many years ago, it was he who calculated that you would become my disciple, this is the portrait of your ancestor, come and worship three times and bow nine times to serve." Master's voice was full of emotion, as I listened to his voice trembling a little.

When I heard this, I was also moved by the master, and according to the master's words, I took three lit incense sticks and knelt down respectfully, and at the same time, for the first time, I also set my eyes on the portrait of the master.

The ancestor depicted in the portrait is a very ordinary old man, that is, sixty or seventy years old, his hair is simply tied in a bun, but it looks messy, quite a bird's nest charm, it is estimated that it is for the unity of the whole body, so the ancestor is really dressed in.... Well, super casual.

An ordinary gray short coat, loosely tied with a black cloth belt, and several skewed patches of various colors on the gown, as for the cloth shoes, the toes were exposed.

And the ancestor is also very lazy, his hands are in his sleeves, squatting, and this painting has no background, just the ancestor is alone, but it looks like an old farmer who is squatting at the base of the wall and basking in the sun.

I don't know who painted this painting, but it's really very expressive, although the appearance of the ancestor is ordinary, but the laziness and indifference revealed in that demeanor, but there is a convincing look in the eyes. The first feeling I had was that he was like a contradiction, a down-and-out, lazy person on the surface, but with a different rhyme in his bones.

I was five years old at the time, and I didn't understand the so-called rhyme at all, but I realized from my heart that this master was different, but I didn't know where it was ordinary.

"Why don't you say goodbye?" The obscene old man's eyes widened.

I was startled when I was distracted, and quickly held the incense respectfully, and really came to the ancestor three bows and nine knocks, this time it was more pious than to the old gentleman, after all, the old gentleman gave me the feeling that it was only in a mythological novel, but in the face of the portrait of the ancestor, I felt that he was really in front of me, but, why is there an inexplicable kindness, etc.! He appeared in my dreams before!

After worshipping the master, I put incense in the incense burner, looked at the master, and didn't know what to do next, but at this serious moment, I was still not naughty, and honestly stood in front of the master. I also began to wonder why he appeared in my dreams.

The master ignored me, but stood up by himself, stared at the statue of the master, and only then did he carefully roll up the portrait, and then said to me: "This is the only portrait of your master, and it was painted after I asked for his consent." It's a pity that my level was limited at that time, and the lack of Shen Yun of your master was at least not restrained enough, and it was too far from the real person. Hey......"

After speaking, Master sighed, and seeing that he missed my ancestor so much, I asked, "Master, where is my ancestor now?" "After asking, I regretted it, watching the master remember the ancestor, the ancestor must be dead. But Master turned his head to look at me, and the look in his eyes was the first time I had seen it, and Master was a little confused.

How could he be confused? Who is Shizu? It's still ...... at such an old age Alive? At least the master didn't know that the master was dead.

Everyone collected the incense case together and returned to the house. The master took out a small bone and said that it was left to me by the master, and he didn't know what it was, at least that it was left to me by the master, and the rope had been worn on it and it was put around my neck. The master said that he couldn't take it off no matter what.

After I took it, I felt a chill coming from inside. I picked it up and looked at it, and the bone was tiny, only the size of the top knuckle of the little thumb. It was dark yellow, oily to the touch, jade-looking, and had five cracks, each of which had a color: gold, red, blue, green, and the last one was the same color as the bone.

"Your ancestor said before that this bone can only be controlled by you, and I have also studied it, but I only know that it represents the five elements, but I can't detect anything, and I don't even have a little blessing, that is, it may be beyond my level, so I can't detect anything." Master looked at me playing with this little bone, there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and then explained to me: "It's useless for you to study now, you can take it honestly, if you let me know that you picked it, see that I don't beat you!" ”

I was about to reply, but I fainted inexplicably......

When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and my chest was like a pinprick, and I looked down and saw that there were five colored silk threads on my chest. Are they bright? Then it slowly disappeared, and when I picked up the bones and looked at them, the cracks in the bones seemed to be repaired? Is it fused with me? But the story is full of blood sacrifices, could it be that while I was asleep, my master took my blood?

I shook my head, shook off these thoughts, and quickly got up, because my stomach had been screaming for a long time.

"Mommy, Mommy, where's the rice? I'm hungry" "Where's the table, do you want to heat it up?" "No need!"

I hurriedly got dressed and walked over to drink porridge. I didn't take two sips, and a brain meltdown knocked over, and when I looked up, it was my uncle. It's not like he knocked me. And there are quite a few fairy bones, although I only saw him once yesterday, but I know him, this cold-looking, quite fairy-style person, in his bones like the master, is an old man who likes to play pranks. However, the master was too lazy to pretend, and the uncle pretended to be the same as a master. Sure enough, after all, they are the same door, so they probably affect each other.

"Hurry up, I'll take you up the mountain after eating, your master is already waiting for us on the mountain!" Settle this matter today. My uncle said to me, then took my half-peeled egg and began to peel it. This uncle is quite good, and he takes care of me more than the master. But in the next second, my mind changed. Because he ate it himself!

I despised this unscrupulous old man in my heart, but I also began to look forward to it in my heart, is there a result today? Xiaoqi, I'm here to save you!
