Chapter 68: The Fox Man (2)
Not only did we wonder, why didn't Xu Xiangqian pass on the Yin and Yang Five Elements Technique to his son Gao Laosan, but to the little fox. At that time, Xiaohu didn't understand, although he knew in his heart that he was also Xu Xiangqian's biological son, but Xu Xiangqian didn't know at all.
Xu Xiangqian told sรน Xiaohu that he knew the art of yin and yang and the five elements was obtained from an ancient turtle shell, which was created by Dayu. Dayu finally relied on the "River Map" to control the floods of the Yellow River, and realized the 'innate Yu step' and the secret technique of the five elements, and suppressed the river god in the river. Xu Xiangqian's Five Elements Technique was only a small part of it, and he handed Xiaohu a small book with various patterns and words, and told him that he would not be allowed to meet with him in the future, and then left.
Since then, Xiaohu has crossed the river to find Xu Xiangqian several times, but Xu Xiangqian was scolded by Xu Xiangqian through the door in the house. I don't know if it's the reason for the father and son's heart, but one day later, Xiaohu felt restless from early in the morning. He crossed the river to Xu Xiangqian's house on the river beach, only to see that the door was locked, so he went to Gaojia Village. From a distance, I saw a platform set up next to the reeds, and a large group of villagers were surrounded by black pressure under the platform. When I got closer, I saw Xu Xiangqian wearing a big hat, kneeling on the platform, and being criticized, while his son Gao Laosan was holding a belt, standing next to him, and pumping it on his back one by one. The little fox's lungs were about to explode, but he restrained his feelings and quietly sneaked into the reeds.
At night, after the villagers who guarded Xu Xiangqian fell asleep, Xiaohu decided to rescue Xu Xiangqian, but unfortunately he did not bring a knife on him, Xu Xiangqian was tied up with five flowers, and they were all dead knots, which were not easy to untie for a while. So he summoned the fox from the fox hole and ordered it to bite the rope.
After the rope was bitten open, Xu Xiangqian relaxed, and then fainted. The little fox carried him on his back and decided to take him across the Yellow River to Qingshi Town, and then find a quiet place to recuperate from his injuries.
When he came to the Yellow River beach, he was blown by the river wind, and Xu Xiangqian woke up. After seeing that it was Xiaohu who saved him, he ordered Xiaohu to put himself down, saying that Xiaohu should not have saved him at all. The little fox knelt on the ground and begged him to come with him.
Xu Xiangqian just shook his head and looked at the rolling river with a smile.
"Listen, son, do you hear?" Xu Xiangqian said.
"What?"
"The river god is calling me, I have led people to eat so many of its offspring, now, it is time to pay my debts, when I was very young, I heard about the legend about it, since that time, I have always had a dream, that is, one day, to be able to meet the river god, to see what it is really like, now, this dream is finally coming true..."
No matter how the little fox begged, Xu Xiangqian refused to cross the river with him. In desperation, Xiaohu told him his identity, saying that I am your son with a butterfly birthmark... Xu Xiangqian burst into tears, stroked his head, and told him, silly boy, in fact, I already knew. Xu Xiangqian said that the reason why he was not allowed to meet with him after passing on the Five Elements Technique to Xiaohu was because he had fallen into a 'bad spell', back then, he saw something that should not be seen in the belly of Taihang Mountain, all the people present died, only he survived, but God did not let him go, but punished him in a more severe way, so that he suffered all kinds of bad luck, his wife was separated, his family was ruined, and life was worse than death. The Five Elements Technique originally contained things like 'Heavenly Machine', and Xu Xiangqian was worried that once Xiaohu practiced and often came into contact with him, that kind of bad luck would pass on to him, so he didn't let Xiaohu meet him again. And the reason why he didn't pass on the magic to Gao Laosan was also because of this.
Xiaohu said that he was not afraid of any bad luck, and continued to beg Xu Xiangqian to follow him, but Xu Xiangqian insisted on refusing. At this time, the villagers chased after him, and Xu Xiangqian pushed the little fox into the long grass on the river beach. After watching his biological father jump into the Yellow River, the little fox fainted. After waking up, he returned to the Fox Immortal Temple in Qingshi Town, returned to the place where he and his father first met, lit a few sticks of incense, and kept his father's spirit for the night.
The cool breeze in the early morning blew into the temple house, and the little fox in thin clothes shivered. His adoptive father was also imprisoned in the cowshed because of his former status as a landlord, and before he could be criticized, he suddenly died of a heart attack that night. Now that his biological father also committed suicide by jumping into the river, Xiaohu feels that he has become an orphan, and in this world, there are no relatives to rely on. He thought of the fox mother, and thought of the days in the fox hole, which were the happiest days since he was a child. He hated it so much, hated why God wanted him to be a human being instead of a real fox. His current world is so dirty and complex, far less clean and pure than the fox's world.
As usual in the fox hole, he lay on the ground and cowered under the offering table, only the dark place made him feel safe, and only the dark place made him feel warm... I don't know how long it took, but he fell asleep under the offering table, until he was woken up by a 'thud' sound.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Gao Laosan. Ever since he saw Gao Laosan pumping Xu forward with a belt on the criticism platform, he secretly swore that he would never recognize him as a younger brother from now on. Although I heard Gao Laosan say to Fox Daxian that he was forced at this moment, in Xiaohu's heart, he still couldn't forgive him. Gao Laosan didn't see the little fox under the offering table, but just kept kowtowing to the statue of the fox fairy until he knocked out the blood, praying that the fox fairy would appear and punish the wicked.
After Gao Laosan left, Xiaohu was stunned for a while, he thought that the bad luck that Xu Xiangqian said was damned... and so on, just to explain and comfort him, so that he would not hate those people in Gaojia Village too much.
After thinking about it, Xiaohu decided to take revenge! The initiator of Xu Xiangqian is the village chief of Gaojia Village, then, look for him to take revenge! But how can revenge be avenged? If he chops him up with a knife, he will also die, since his father passed on the art of yin and yang and the five elements to him, he hopes that he will live well and pass it on when the time comes, so he can't die. After thinking about it, Xiaohu thought of something that Xu Xiangqian had told him. Xu Xiangqian said that most of the people who have done bad things will have ghosts in their hearts, and the reason why some people believe in gods and do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to sprinkle sesame oil money in the temple is for peace of mind. I heard Gao Laosan just tell Hu Daxian about the evil things that the village chief had done, saying that he had dug up the ancestral graves of his ancestors, and the bones were sitting in the coffin to criticize, and I didn't know if he had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid of retribution...
That night, Xiaohu took advantage of the night to come to Gaojia Village and found the ancestral tomb. The grave had not yet been restored, and the hole was blocked by a few bricks, and when the bricks were removed, he went into the chamber and took the head of the skeleton out of the chamber. Then he went to the reeds in front of the village, summoned the fox, put the skull on the fox's head, dressed it in a man's clothes, and put a silk official's hat that had been taken out of the coffin and was not completely rotted over the skull, and took it to the village chief's house. When the village chief heard the sound of scratching the door, he climbed down from the bed, opened the door and came to the courtyard, and in the moonlight, he saw a 'ghost' jumping around in the courtyard, with his ancestor's official hat on his 'head'. The village chief thought that his ancestors had come to take revenge on him, but he didn't say a word, and he was scared to death on the spot.
(To avenge Gao Laosan for his daughter-in-law's abuse by those villagers, Xiaohu used the same method, he got the strange fish into the paper man, and dressed the paper man in the clothes that Gao Laosan's daughter-in-law was about to change into before she was humiliated.) The girl had been running frantically along the riverbank that day, farther and farther away from home, when suddenly she was dressed in clothes that had been washed by the water upstream. Unfolded, there was actually a hat inside. The girl took off her clothes and was about to put them on when she ran into a few drunks from Gaojia Village who were walking on the river beach. Although the girl was average-looking, she was in good shape. Several drunks stared at her up and down, shouted and hugged her, snatched the clothes from her hands and put them on the ground, pushed her down on them and raped her. It is conceivable that Gao Xiaowen was hiding in the ancestral temple of Gaojia Village in the back, and suddenly saw a 'ghost' jumping in from the outside, wearing the clothes that the girl was on when she was raped, how could she not be scared to death...)
After scaring the village chief to death, Xiaohu returned to Qingshi Town, locked himself in the house every day, and devoted himself to studying the Five Elements Technique. After researching it, he found that there was a big problem with the feng shui of the old mansion where his adoptive father used to live. In addition, he also showed the feng shui structure of the fox fairy temple, which is very in line with the legend that his adoptive father told him back then, the fox fairy restrained the river god. From this, he believes that the legend is true, and there is really a river god in the waterways around Qingshi Town, as Xu Xiangqian said, which is guarded by the fox fairy at the bottom of the river. In fact, in his heart, the fox mother who raised him is the fox fairy, and every time he sees the fox fairy statue, he thinks of his fox mother.
The next day, a group of people rushed into the fox fairy temple and destroyed the fox fairy statue. The little fox was particularly annoyed, and then he sank down, he suddenly thought that he could make his fox mother into a fox fairy statue, he believed that one day the Cultural Revolution would pass, and the fox fairy temple would re-ignite the incense, and at that time, his fox mother could enjoy the offering...
On this day, he ran to the embankment and dug up the remains of the fox. After all these years, the corpse has not completely decomposed, and the fur is very intact. He decided to bury it in the Fox Fairy Temple first, and when the time came, he would reshape the fox fairy statue after the limelight passed. After he had placed the body in the middle of the temple house, he went to the courtyard to dig a pit, and after a few dug strokes, the shovel broke. When he returned to his residence to change the shovel, there were several people standing in the courtyard, fighting around the corpse...
"Why didn't Uncle Yang talk about it?"
"It's gone." Yang Shujun spread his hands, "He only told me so much, this person's life is bitter enough, alas..."
I nodded, and my chest was blocked as I heard this past. Xiang Feng hasn't come back yet, and I can't help but worry. Glancing outside, I picked up the child.
"Let's go, Uncle Yang, let's send you to where we live first."
