Yakuo Chapter 39 - Fukuyama Shoukai
Although Wang Jin was surprised when he heard it, it was useless, it was equivalent to talking in vain!
It's been a lot of years in the Qing Dynasty. Now you have that decree, and you have to take it into the country. This old man actually said something useless, and it was better to listen to it than not to know it, so he didn't want to listen to it.
Uncle Wang also seemed to see it, so he said: Don't blame me for being old, I love to nag! I look like I'm about to go into the ground, and I'm afraid that if I don't tell you sooner, I'll have to be buried with the soil. Well, wait for your uncle to tell you these things. I'll just tell you the most important thing. The skills passed down by our third grandfather have two keys. One is this white pig. Second, it is the ability to practice the nose. Do you remember the conversation about the prescription?
When Wang Jin heard this, he immediately replied: I remembered, but I didn't remember it.
The expression on Uncle Wang's face suddenly looked extremely regretful, and he suddenly turned his head and kowtowed to the ancestral tablet, shouting in his mouth: Absolutely, absolutely.
But I heard Wang Jin continue: I didn't remember, but I found this book, and I wrote everything in it, and I can recall it by looking at it.
When Uncle Wang heard this, his beard became angry, and he said angrily: You stinky boy, what about making me happy? What book?
Wang Jin told him about the book left by his father.
Uncle Wang thought for a while, but shook his head: It can't be true, unless your father stole it. There's no way your grandfather could give him the recipe. If you don't pass on the ability to train your nose, it's useless to ask for those prescriptions. Let's put it this way, I have practiced that nose, the antidote to snake venom, whatever you want. This recipe is a disguise, and your dad is still stealing the prescription, so it can be seen that he doesn't know the details of this at all.
Wang Jin always thought that his grandfather was not good to his father, so he listened to it at this time. I remembered what my uncle said to me before he left yesterday morning. Thinking about it at this time, the matter of the white pig is clear. The details of the Wang family are also known. But why grandpa treated his father like this, there is still no answer.
Just as I wanted to ask, my uncle walked in and said to Uncle Wang: There is something strange in the cave, you can see what time you can go down.
Uncle Wang: You go and get the compass and things handed down by your ancestors first. The person who answered the post has arrived, and it's time to give the things to this kid. Then you take Xiao Song and Baiwang to the surrounding area, I think it will be at least after noon. At this time, I will explain everything to this child. However, the kid wanted to know about his grandfather and his father. I'm an outsider, don't know what I can say?
After hearing this, the uncle walked to the front of the ancestral ranking, and knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the middle of the penultimate row at the bottom. Wang Jin saw that the name of his grandfather was on the ranking, Wang Yun.
After the uncle got up, he turned his head to look at Uncle Wang, but pointed to the lonely ranking one layer below his grandfather's ranking and said to Wang Jin: This, don't talk about your mother, your father doesn't know it himself. Listen to Uncle Wang explain to you, I don't want to mention these things, so I walked out as I spoke.
Wang Jin looked at the lonely ranking below, and the name on it was not his father Wang Fu, but Wang Shan. That's weird. How did this grandfather name his son? His uncle's name is Wang Hai, Wang Jin felt that he seemed to think of something, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Uncle Wang saw that Wang Jin was thinking about this, so he said: Baby, you save your energy. Your grandfather named the child with the words "Shoushan Fuhai". This Wang Mountain is the name of your second uncle.
After Wang Jin heard this, he called out. Uncle Wang: Do you think that Fu Lu Shou, Fu Shou is healthy, and Fu Shou is peaceful. None of this is true. Your dad isn't the eldest at all, not even the second. Your grandfather still had two sons in his head, but at that time your father was a child, and he couldn't remember it at all.
Listen to me tell you slowly:
Your grandfather's first son is the child of your grandfather's first wife. At that time, your grandfather was young, and he went around to heal people. didn't take good care of his own woman, and before he could meet, his first daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and Wang Shou didn't even have a day's longevity.
This second son was born to your own grandmother. Your grandfather asked him to call him Wang Shan, meaning not to forget his ex-wife, and your grandmother also agreed.
However, your grandfather, outsiders call him the King of Living Medicine, and he has done enough to accumulate virtue and do good deeds in his life, but what about his family? Talking about it, he obviously doesn't have a high opinion of his grandfather in terms of family.
He continued: When your grandmother gave birth to your second uncle, your grandfather was in his early twenties, and he was not as old as you. This mind is full of snakes and medicines. A wife died, what is it like to be like it, and she doesn't care about her family at all. Your grandmother gave birth to a child in the cold winter of Layue, and she didn't even have a person to help with confinement, so she got uterine cold. It wasn't until twenty years later that there was your dad. As a result, when I gave birth to your uncle in less than two years, I also died in childbirth. In his years, women were suffering. Don't look at the scenery outside your grandfather, he feels guilty about these two women in his heart.
Wang Jin has never seen what his grandmother looks like since he was a child, and he remembers that he asked his father when he was a child, and Wang Fu only said at the time: He was sick and died early. Only then did I know that there was still such a reason.
Uncle Wang continued: I'm not telling you this. Why is your second uncle twenty years different from your father? I want to tell you that the post of our Wang family, the rule of the ancestors is that only one person can receive it in a generation. As long as this person takes this post, the next generation will not be able to take it again, this time you should understand.
Wang Jin listened for a long time before he knew the key point that Uncle Wang was going to say, but although the old man sometimes said nonsense, the ins and outs were also clear. However, this rule is also too difficult to understand. Just asked: What are the rules? I probably understood, my dad wanted to pick it up, but thought it was my grandfather who didn't like him. Actually, the ancestors had rules, so why didn't they tell my father? What the hell is going on here?
Uncle Wang said: Don't worry, I also want to make it clear to you simply, but this matter cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two. Let's talk about why only one generation can pick up. Bitter! I asked you, do you remember the sticker your grandfather gave you, the way to train your nose? But you don't have to tell me, you just have to tell me, it's not difficult.
Wang Jin thinks about the method of practicing his nose, which is simple: he can't eat meat for the rest of his life, can't drink alcohol for the rest of his life, and can't eat tobacco for the rest of his life. On the second, seventh, fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-second, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, and twenty-ninth days of each month, you must fast (Bigu or call not eating), and you can only drink water on these days. There should only be a small amount of sugar in the water. You can't use honey and milk for the rest of your life, which is called predation. Until it's done. And when that's done, all the requirements can be dropped immediately. But the criteria for this accomplishment, and how to cultivate specifically, are two words: no.
Say it right away: difficult, not only difficult. If you don't practice it in your life, you don't have to do it. It's not fun to be alive.
Uncle Wang said: Your grandfather told us this back then, if you choose one of this generation, you will become a generation. If not, then this generation will be useless, only to eat and wait for death.
The ancestors set this rule, never cared about how a person was, and never passed on any cheats, but just asked everyone who received the post to understand it for themselves.
To continue the family business of the ancestors, it is a sieve from generation to generation. If this one can't be practiced, the person who passed the post must be handed over to his grandchildren, otherwise he will be sorry for his ancestors. I don't understand why my ancestors set such unreasonable rules, they are all their own descendants, but they are so strict.
However, at this age, I think it makes a lot of sense. It's just that I'm old and don't have much time to think about it. I can only say that there is only one thing I want to understand: this rule is the foundation of our royal family, which continues the craftsmanship of the snake king sect for fifteen generations. Right now, you don't have to think about this, no matter how smart you are, my old man has been thinking about a problem that he hasn't figured out all his life, and no one expects you to understand it immediately.
