Grandpa talked about the origin of this ancient book, which is a relatively long story: "Your father's name is Ma Xintong, and he also has an older brother named Ma Wangyue. Grandpa's father was the grain official of this place at the time, and he hoped that Ma Wangyue would follow his career and work hard to educate him. ”

When Ma Mochiyue was 20 years old, his father asked him to take the triennial township exam. At that time, because of the inconvenient transportation, those who rushed to take the exam had to walk to the Gongyuan in the provincial capital for reference. Ma Wangyue went for half a year before coming back. As soon as he returned, he was bleeding to death. Less than a few days after his death, the good news official sent a gold list, saying that Ma Wangyue was admitted to the Juren. ”

"Grandpa's father was very sad and thought that his son could not bear the blessings, so he simply died. From then on, he did not allow Ma Xintong to touch the four treasures of the study, and only taught him abacus and arithmetic to calculate the rice in and out of the granary. ”

"But Ma Xintong is much smarter than his brother, he knows what to learn, his abacus is very good at arithmetic, and he can put the abacus on the top of his head to figure out the calculation. Because his father did not allow him to touch pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he had nothing to do in his spare time, so he turned his interest to Taoism. ”

Later, the Qing government was no longer able to do it, and Hunan was hungry because the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan often fought. Because my father's father was a grain officer, his family had plenty of food. Once, a Taoist priest passed by Thrush Village and fell hungry on the other side of the old river. Ma Xintong saw it when he passed by, and took the Taoist priest to his house to save his life. ”

"When the Taoist priest left Ma's house, he gave Ma Xintong a book, which was this "Hundred Techniques". This book not only teaches people to hunt ghosts, but also teaches people to calculate the future and cultivate themselves. Grandpa did his best, he was much better than your grandfather and me. ”

Later, ********** trouble, my father was afraid that people would find out about the book, so he tore off the cover and burned it. This cover was added after the tide passed. The words on it were written by my father himself, do you think his handwriting is good? You can see from the words how talented Grandpa is. ”

"I was born with an illness that was damaging to my head. My father thought that I would not be able to learn so many techniques, so he tore the book in half, giving me the first part and hiding the back part in a secret place. ”

Grandpa left these seven words at the back of the book, saying that if I could guess it, it would mean that I was smart enough to find the location of the book and learn the latter part of the magic. If I can't guess it, I won't be able to learn the latter part even if I give it to me. But you see, I haven't guessed the mystery until now. ”

"The content of the latter part is much more powerful than the magic of the first part. If you want to find out, you have to guess the meaning of those seven words on your own. If you can find the latter part, you'll be even better than Grandpa's ghost hunting. ”

I didn't expect this ancient book to have such a long history, and after listening to my grandfather's narration, I felt that this book was even more valuable. But people are always not satisfied with the status quo, and they haven't seen the front part yet, so they fantasize about getting the back part.

Grandpa's ghost hunting skills have already amazed me and admired, if I could surpass him, what a cool thing it would be! I can't help but snicker when I think about it.

But what is the meaning of "moving chairs and leaning on the tong to admire the moon"?

Grandpa guessed for most of his life and couldn't understand it, so it can be seen that it is impossible for me to guess the mystery for a while. Put it away for the time being, and study it well later, maybe you will suddenly understand it later.
