Chapter 051: The First Year of Learning

I don't know if grandpa is alive or dead, I can tell from everyone's eyes that they think grandpa is dead, but my intuition doesn't think so, this intuition has nothing to do with family affection, and it has nothing to do with the magical ability that I have obtained the yin and yang fish.

Grandpa wouldn't have died so quietly, he must have gone somewhere, I don't know why he said goodbye, in short, he just disappeared.

Disappeared in Wangjia Village, disappeared into the daily life of every villager in Wangjia Village, even if he did not appear again for a year or ten years, but whenever the villagers of Wangjia Village encountered something dangerous or difficult to solve, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was my grandfather, the grandfather who was so powerful that people respected him like a god.

I occasionally think of the conversation he had with Wu Zhenren that night, in order to save me, he used his silver needle to advance the death of some people, delay the lives of some people, or he transferred his sister's life to me, I always feel that things are not so simple, because there is no soul lamp behind grandpa.

Every living person should have a soul lamp behind him, I'm absolutely sure of that.

And what I have to do is to make myself stronger, to become extremely strong, so strong that I no longer need anyone's protection, I don't want to see my father's sad face anymore, and I don't want to see my mother wash her face with tears anymore.

There is a book that grandpa left to my father that day to separately record the genealogy of the Wang family for generations, which records the legendary stories of our old Wang family for hundreds of years, but the last few pages of the genealogy were torn off for some reason, I don't know if this is done by grandpa, maybe he saw that the content recorded on these pages was too dangerous, so he didn't want my father or me to see it, maybe the content recorded on these pages was just the poor life of grandpa and grandma, and grandpa felt that there was no need to write on it before tearing it up, perhaps there are other unknown things written on it.

But I have never found a record of the Yin and Yang Order, the strange power of the black pattern in the palm of my grandfather's hand comes from the Yin and Yang Order, and then I asked the master what the Yin and Yang Order is, and the master said that it is a saint's thing, and the order Yin and Yang, reverse life and death, if Grandpa also has some Taoism, it is not necessarily him who won that night.

Grandpa's book to his father also included a booklet written by a man who was one of the ancestors of the Wang family in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, called "Sixteen Methods of Appreciating Treasures", and the signature at the bottom of the booklet was a person named Wang Yuqiang. The above detailed description of how to identify the skills and experience of jade antiques, my father couldn't put it down at a glance, and the next day according to the "Sixteen Methods of Treasure Appreciation" said to go to the old goods stall set up by several old men in the town to go around, and really gave him fifty yuan to find a treasure, a jade cigarette holder in the Qianlong period.

Father sold this jade cigarette holder to the jade shop in the county, the first pot of gold earned more than 3,000 yuan, it was 1998, more than 3,000 yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary of the father, so the father was out of control, and since then he has started the business of jade antiques, although it has always been a small fight to make money, but our family has become more and more solid, the family bought a Changhong brand TV, bought a refrigerator, installed a water heater, and also installed a telephone.

My mother also gradually learned how to entertain after our family became well-off, but she learned a terrible entertainment game - playing cards.

Sometimes she didn't come home until late at night, and she reluctantly left until her father dragged her home.

The last book left by his grandfather was his own notes, which were all the local remedies for the treatment of various incurable diseases that he had accumulated over the years, and also described in detail the corresponding diseases and acupuncture techniques of each acupoint of the human body, and there was a line of small words on it that specifically told his father not to study, because he was afraid that his father would stab people to death, so he would have to eat prison for several years.

My father came to lose his temper and studied the key to acupuncture for more than a week, so he also specially invited a master who knew how to acupuncture and moxibustion to teach him, and the master taught his father two days after throwing his hand and leaving, he said a sentence when he left: "I think, you should go and learn to kill pigs from others." ”

When I was very young, my grandfather taught me to memorize some strange meridian formulas, although I didn't understand, but the master was very understanding, he saw that I had the heart to learn this craft, and he would take the time to explain to me after teaching me Taoism.

In the first year after the grandfather left, it snowed heavily in Wangjia Village, and after the collapse of the dragon tomb left by Yao Guangxiao in Wangjia Village, Wangjia Village gradually had water vapor, and every household also opened a new well, Wangjia Village began to gradually become a normal village, and the county also allocated funds to build a direct road to the town for Wangjia Village.

I remember that the snow covered my neck that year, the road was completely unwalkable, the school notified us of the emergency suspension of classes for a week, the master saw that I did not go up the mountain in the evening, so he came to the house to pick me up, at that time he stepped on the snow nearly a meter high, leaving only a shallow footprint behind him, I asked the master when I could do this, the master said that it is okay now.

He lifted me up to the snow, and then let go of my hand, I really walked on the snow like walking on the ground, my mother was amazed, she was so happy, she thought that I had finally learned a Taoist technique, at that time the TV was still playing the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and my mother said that I could float on the water like Qiu Qianren in the future. One time she insisted on lifting me up and putting me on a deep snow-covered stone ditch to show her card friends, which was a ditch built by the town for Wangjia Village to irrigate the crops, about two meters deep, but fortunately there was no water in the stone canal at that time, and my mother threw me up and I went straight into it, and then they dragged me out from under it for half an hour.

When I first started learning Taoism with the master, my mother would take me to and from school every day, and then take me to the master, and then the master told my mother that I didn't need to pick me up in the future, and let me run back to and from school, and he also asked my mother to sew two sandbags for me to tie to my legs.

Although I was as strong as a tiger after eating Arowana, I was not very comfortable with such a weight all of a sudden, and I would be half tired to death every time I ran to the master.

The master would boil a pot of water early every time for me to soak in, the water was boiling hot, and there was a bad smell of medicine wafting in it, if I didn't know that the master likes to be a vegetarian, I really thought he was going to cook me and eat it.

The master said that Taoism is the same as kung fu, it is necessary to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and it cannot be broken for a day, otherwise the breath of pure air practiced will not be able to be connected, and it will be even more difficult to practice it in the future.

At that time, I was more fascinated by martial arts movies, and I watched too many dazzling martial arts in them, so I asked the master while rubbing my shoulders: "Master, can your old man directly open up my second vein of Rendu, so that I can learn Taoism with half the effort." ”

The master was stunned for a long time as if he didn't understand, so I explained to the master with my hands and dances, and the master said, "It's easy." ”

He led me outside, came to an old locust tree, slapped a palm on the trunk, the back of the trunk snapped off a piece of bark, the front and back of the tree hole transparent, the master said: "It may be a little painful, you have to cultivate for at least half a year to get through the second one." ”

I stuck out my tongue, and I realized that there are no shortcuts on the way to learn the Tao, and even geniuses have to spend several times more effort than others to make achievements in a certain aspect.

During that year, the master didn't give me any Taoist skills, just made me run every day, soak in medicated baths, memorize some difficult mantras, or do things that didn't seem to me to have much meaning.

Although the master didn't let me learn Taoism, he often asked Dasha to help him in his Taoist temple and teach him some scattered hand skills.

After drinking the fish soup I gave him, Dasha's brain became better and better, but his honest energy did not change at all, seeing that I was still the boss and the boss was screaming endlessly, his body became stronger and stronger, and his strength was terrifying.

His father saw that he was honest and honest, and he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and his hands and feet were quite nimble, and when the antique business became more and more comfortable, he let Dasha follow him and ran with him to start the antique work.

Dasha had just turned fifteen years old at that time, but he was already 1.8 meters tall, as strong as a cow, and the master taught him some kung fu to strengthen his body.

I have been living this boring life for a whole year, and after a year, when I saw that the master had not taught me the meaning of Taoism, I asked the master with some complaints when he would teach me the true skills.

The master asked me, "What do you think is the real skill?" ”

I blurted out, "Of course I can fight." ”

The master pondered for a long time and said: "One person can not beat 10,000 people again, since ancient times, most of the people who can fight have become the souls of others early, the Taoism is broad and profound, three teachings and nine streams, everything is considered the Tao, and victory without fighting is the way to the top." ”

I looked at the master and pouted, the master looked at my resentful expression, sighed, took me to the stone table at the door, asked me to get two green bricks over, let me break one to try, I took the green brick, put a green brick on the other green brick, and then pulled the posture and shouted, slammed down with a palm, the palm hurt terribly, but the green brick was unharmed.

The master picked up another brick and said, "Look, if you can shoot like me one day, you won't need to do these boring things." ”

After the master finished speaking, he gently raised his hand and patted it lightly on the green brick, which was like patting someone's shoulder.

However, there is no However, the strength of fighting mosquitoes is not necessarily dead, how can the brick break?

I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt, and I said, "Master, you are an old liar, and you can only play some dazzling tricks, and I still have a lot of work to do to shoot people's bricks!" ”

When the master heard this, he picked up a green ruler and was about to spank me, I laughed and ran away, scolding the master for being an old liar as I ran.

The next day, when I ran to Taiyin Temple to find the master out of breath again, I accidentally glanced at the stone table out of the corner of my eye, only to find that there was only one green brick on the stone table, and next to this brick, there was a pile of green brick powder that had been blown away by the wind.

Complete powder.
