306 Hope for the Future
My heart is broken, this is the first secret spell of the Seven Star Taihe Mantra, and it actually backfired!
At this time, it is impossible to ask my brother-in-law for help, so I can only find a way to solve it by myself. I calmed down and silently recited the mantra. Sure enough, the more I thought about it, the tighter it became, and the tighter it was that my consciousness couldn't be coherent.
I quickly stopped the spell, calmed down, and thought of a way. When my sister taught me the Nine Palace Secret Talisman, she once said that there is a way to break the forbidden spell, which is to destroy it with a forbidden spell that is more advanced than it. The second secret mantra of the Seven Stars Taihe Mantra is theoretically more advanced than the first one, so I can give it a try.
It's a very risky choice, and if I can break it, it's best of course, but if the two spells come together, I'll be frozen in this endless void forever. Now I can't help but be afraid, I have no other choice, it is better to have hope than to wait for death. I believe in Ye Huan's words, I will definitely be able to save her, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one will be fine.
I settled down, and when my consciousness was freer, I began to practice the second forbidden mantra as fast as I could, with my mind. The invisible confinement tightened, and my consciousness was almost stuck, but I strengthened my belief and used the last bit of divine consciousness in the second secret curse.
Finally, there was a loud bang around me, and the confinement was suddenly lifted, and my body trembled, and I opened my eyes suddenly, gasping for breath. Although it was only for a moment, I experienced a life and death catastrophe for my soul, which is difficult to describe, a joy of rebirth after the catastrophe, which made me want to cry.
At this moment, I really want to rush out and tell my brother-in-law everything that happened just now, I really want to go downstairs and hug Ye Huan and tell me how much I love her. I thought I had at least two years left in my life, but this scene just now woke me up, it turned out that the catastrophe is everywhere, and I don't know if I will see the sun tomorrow.
I secretly tried to calculate myself with hexagrams, but since I learned the Musou mantra, every time I calculate myself, I get flustered and my mind goes blank. The domineering power of the Peerless Mantra does not allow anyone to spy on its heavenly secrets.
At this time, I remembered a lot of things that I usually deliberately forget, I thought of my gray-haired father, and I thought of my mother, who loved to play mahjong and was naΓ―ve, if I was really gone, what would they do? I remembered my sister's advice when I came back from Hubei, and she said that I should have a child as soon as possible, for the sake of the Lin family...... I see, even my goddess-like sister doesn't know how long I'll last.
Practitioners are always reflecting on life and contemplating death, but for the living, death is always a distant proposition in their minds. But when I woke up from my brush with death again, I suddenly realized how urgent it was.
I have to have a baby, I can't let my parents lose hope, and I can't let the Lin family cut off the incense. Even if it's an excuse, even if it's prevarication, I don't care, I don't care about those nonsense conclusions. I am the only son of the Lin family's generation, the only seedling in a thousand hectares, I must first ensure that my family has descendants, and first ensure that the bloodline of the Lin family continues.
There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, grandpa has a son, he has hope; Dad has a son, and he has hope; And what about me...... What do I have? What do I have but a nihilistic statement of self-absorption, fidelity to love? The Lin family has been six hundred years from the ancestor to the present, although the rise and fall of the family is a few days, but when the Lin family only has one boy left, this is my responsibility and my mission. If I ink, I'm a sinner of the Lin family!
At this time, I suddenly remembered three stories that my grandfather used to tell me when I was a child.
He said that when there was chaos in China, there was a pair of brothers who fled with their families. My brother said that the Murong clan in the north is said to be more virtuous, and we should go to him. But my brother said, "No, I heard that we should be together in prosperous times, and we should be separated in troubled times." Now that the world is in turmoil, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose, so we should separate. You take your clan to the north, and I take my clan to the south, so that even if one of the clans is destroyed, the remaining clan can continue the bloodline of the ancestors.
The second story is the story of Wenzong's uncle Sun Tong in the Han Dynasty. Grandpa said that this person was originally a doctor of the Qin Dynasty, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, east of Hangu Pass, the beacon fire was in the sky, and the heroes rose together. Qin II asked people to inquire about the news, and when the man returned, he reported it truthfully, and the second emperor was furious and almost slaughtered the man. When Uncle Sun Tong saw it, he quickly changed his words, saying that Kanto was just some small thieves, and there was nothing to be afraid of. The second emperor was overjoyed, promoted him to an official position, and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silk. Shusun Tong gave these things to his colleagues who scolded him, and then fled Xianyang.
In a few years, he changed several masters, and finally came to Liu Bang as a petty official. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the state was in chaos, so he wrote a letter requesting the establishment of court etiquette. Liu Bang agreed, so he went to Ludi and recruited famous Confucian scholars to go west to Chang'an with him to formulate court rituals.
There were two Confucian scholars who were reluctant to go, and sarcastically said to Shusun Tong, you have served no less than twenty monarchs, this virtue can be imagined, and now the world is in turmoil, with white bones everywhere, and the cries of orphans and widows are endless. And the formulation of the so-called etiquette, it takes hundreds of years of accumulation of virtue and politics to form, we can't bear to do anything dirty with you, you old man should leave quickly.
Shusun Tong was not angry, and said to his disciples with a smile, this is a vulgar and ignorant sour Confucian. So he took more than 40 Confucian scholars who were recruited to the west into Guanzhong, formulated the court rituals, and thus became the Confucian sect of the Han Dynasty, entered the Temple of Literature, and worshiped with the Confucian saints.
The third is the story of the Chahar Mongol Dayan Khan. Genghis Khan's golden family declined after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongol tribes fought each other for the throne. Later, only a little boy was left in the entire Golden Family, named Batu Mengke. At this critical time, his aunt, Manduhai, the widow of the former Great Khan, rejected the marriage proposals of other Mongol nobles, hid the child, and raised it with care. And six years later, he ascended to the throne of the Great Khan of the Mongols, honored him as Chahar Mongol Dayan Khan, and married the child.
Dayan Khan succeeded to the throne at the age of six, and reigned for more than 30 years, turning Chahar into the suzerainty of the Mongol tribes, unifying Mongolia and restoring the glory of the Golden Family. He gave birth to eleven sons, and revived his family. To this day, most of the descendants of the Golden Family in the Mongolian steppe are descendants of him.
My grandfather told me these three stories I don't know how many times since I was a child, and every time he told them in this order. It is precisely because of these three stories that I have developed a strong interest in history, and since then reading history books has become one of my great hobbies.
Now it seems that my grandfather didn't just let me learn knowledge, he used the truth of these three stories to educate me, because he knew what I would face in the future.
The first story is about the wisdom of continuity, the second is about the wisdom of flexibility, and the third is about telling me that child, it means hope.
I couldn't sit still, and I couldn't sit still because of the restlessness and excitement in my heart. I struggled to get up, slowly walked to the window, opened the window and looked at the stars in the sky. The skies here are clean, there are not so many neon night shadows distracting, and there are far more stars than in the city.
I suddenly missed my grandfather very much, wanted to go back to my childhood, and continue to lie under the covers and listen to his stories. Grandpa has good intentions for me and has imperceptibly cultivated me for more than ten years, in order to leave a hope for the Lin family.
But what about me?
I've never been so eager to have a baby as I am now, but ...... Will God give me so much time for the Lin family?
I took out my phone and wanted to call my sister, but I hesitated and finally gave up. I'm in retreat, and if I do this, my brother-in-law's hard work will be in vain, and all that long work will be wasted.
Put aside before giving birth to a child, save Ye Huan first, I wiped my tears and looked at the sky, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely give birth to a child, so that our old Lin family will have a successor!" You blessed me, let me learn the spell smoothly, saved Ye Huan, and then I ...... I'll give you a great-grandson! β
At this time, my brother-in-law's voice came from outside, "Lin Zhuo, was there a situation just now?" β
I calmed down, closed the window, and walked to the door, "Brother-in-law, the first secret spell just now was devoured. β
"Backlash?" The brother-in-law was silent for a moment, "Then how did you deal with it?" β
"I used a second spell, tried it, and finally unraveled it."
"It's dangerous enough", the brother-in-law paused, "This thing is not normal, you come out first and come to the study." β
I opened the door and followed him to the study, where he closed it and locked it.
"Lin Zhuo, you tell your brother-in-law the truth, what is the price of learning this peerless spectrum?" He looked at me seriously.
"I didn't ...... Nothing......" I smiled faintly.
"I understand, it's a secret, the less people know about it, the better," he said, looking at me, "but you can't hide it from me, and you shouldn't hide it from me." From the moment we met, I guessed it, I just didn't want to say it. But now you have to be honest with me, because this is a big matter related to how the Seven Star Taihe Mantra will continue to cultivate! β
I bowed my head and was silent for a moment, "My sister said that those who have learned the Six Spirits Peerless Array will experience a heavenly tribulation within two years, and there is almost no hope of survival, unless someone is willing to scatter my soul for me......"
My brother-in-law stopped talking and looked at me calmly.
"Brother-in-law, don't tell Ye Huan, please", my eyes moistened, "Don't let her worry about me." β
"How can you be as stupid as your sister?" The brother-in-law sighed, "It's really a brother and sister, it's exactly the same!" β
"If it weren't for Ye Huan, I might have died a long time ago", I said, "I have to do this, even if it is to exchange my life for my life." β
"But if you had a good one, would she live alone?" My brother-in-law looked at me coldly, "You are the only one in the Lin family, you don't even have a descendant, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Lin family?" Do you want to make the Peerless Spectrum disappear forever? β
"Brother-in-law, of course I don't want to", I raised my head, "Even if Ye Huan doesn't live alone, I'm worth it." If I...... Then this peerless spectrum will be handed over to you, if you can find my sister, let her give you a son to inherit the Lin family's incense, if you can't find it...... Then help me with a child......"
"Say no more!" My brother-in-law interrupted me, "You can't pass on the unparalleled spectrum if you are not a blood relative, don't say such things to me." My children won't even be able to learn math in the future, so they can't afford your responsibility. β
"That'...... I saved Ye Huan and gave birth to a child. β
"I will keep it a secret for you", he looked at me, "But this secret, Ye Huan will know it soon, you should be mentally prepared yourself, think about how to explain it to her......"
