Chapter 29: The Old Way Is Gone
The old father and the old widow's mother had a hard time after they had children. The first thing is that there is no money, and the second is that I have to take a child around in that war-torn era. Lao Dao's father has no other skills, so he will do two things, one is to rely on the skills of his local master, and the other is to rely on martial arts.
It is more secure to make money by martial arts, and it is more secure to be a nursing home or something, and it was also more popular in that era, and the source of money was stable, but the old mother who always had to fight and kill bandits was not at ease, and the rest could only rely on showing people feng shui to make a living.
However, in that troubled era, ordinary people will not look for Mr. Feng Shui even if they die, at that time, affected by the war, the life of the family is not easy, how can there be extra money to Mr. Feng Shui, if someone in the family dies, the family in a better situation can still buy a thin coffin, and the family coffin in a bad situation cannot afford to buy, a straw mat wraps the person and buries it on the spot.
Only a few large local households can afford to invite Mr. Feng Shui, such a large family is few, and not no one dies every day, so the old father took the two of them to run around, asking around where there are dead people in large families, or Mr. Feng Shui, he can go to find a good hole for others, mix food and clothing.
Sometimes on the road, by chance, I found one or two cave places that were okay, and I wrote down the location and left someone to find a good cemetery to sell, after all, a good cave is not something that can be found if you want to.
Wandering like this every day, the woman's family is weak after all, and the old mother can't afford to be sick on the road. Lao Dao's father exchanged the location of the good hole he found for a few oceans. Left in a village and town to his wife will be nourished. Unfortunately, it was too late, and not long after, Lao Dao's mother fell seriously ill and died.
It is also the mother of the old Tao, Fu Bo, not long after her death, the battle was over, the father of the old Tao took the old Tao of one or two years old, found a deserted Taoist temple to live in, and became a Taoist priest, slowly pulled the old Tao up, and taught him the skills of a local teacher.
Lao Dao's father is famous in the local area with his ability, and the development of the small Taoist temple is not bad. It's a pity that the good days didn't take long, and I caught up with the defeat of all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods.
has been criticized for several years, and Lao Dao's father's tough body has been defeated, and Lao Dao has also suffered a lot. Before he died, Lao Dao's father secretly approved Lao Dao, telling him to go to the south to seek a living, saying that Lao Dao would have an opportunity at the age of thirty-five, and he would soar in one step.
It's a pity that Lao Dao is forty-nine years old and has a catastrophe, if you want to avoid it, you can only find the land of Dragonfall, and Lao Dao can spend the rest of his life in the land of Dragonfall.
According to what his father said, the 20-year-old Taoist went to Guangdong to beg for a living, but he didn't dare to wear the Taoist robe, so he became a fisherman. Lao Dao has fished for others on the boat for ten years, and his life is not good or bad, but he has not let go of his ability as a local master, and he walks around during the fishing moratorium to see the terrain of mountains and rivers.
That is, in the years when Chen Ziyang was born, one day in the early eighties, this old road accidentally found a problem with the feng shui of a large family's cemetery group, this cemetery group can only keep good luck for 20 years, and it will go downhill after 20 years, according to the date on the tombstone, this tomb group has been 25 years old. As soon as Lao Dao was kind, he told the owner.
Just like in the TV series, the family's originally good business has been getting worse every year recently, and the owner of the family still doesn't believe it after Lao Dao told them, thinking that Lao Dao is also like everyone else to cheat money on the grounds that their family's current family is not good.
The old way didn't talk nonsense with him, and secretly changed the feng shui of the cemetery at night, to say that this old way was bold enough, and secretly changed people's ancestral graves in the middle of the night, which was not unjust to be caught and killed. After the old way was changed, he left some evidence in the place where he had changed, turned around and left, and went fishing again.
In the second year, when the fishing season was suspended, Lao Dao came here again, and asked the owner here again, and the master also remembered him, and said how he had done well this year, and he had done a lot of big business, and he had earned more this year than he had earned in the previous five or six years.
Lao Dao led him to the ancestral tomb, buried himself in a spiritual talisman or something, and told them that he had actually changed the feng shui, and the family knew that this Lao Dao was a master. Needless to say, he also raised Lao Dao, so Lao Dao became famous here.
There are a lot of businesses in this vicinity, and there are many people who believe in feng shui, so Lao Dao put on his robe again and began his fairy-like days. After all the calculations, Lao Dao was exactly thirty-five years old that year.
Lao Dao is there to give people a batch of eight characters to measure fate, look at the yin and yang house for a living, how much money Lao Dao doesn't care, the key is to be able to wear Taoist robes openly. It is also the development of the times, the days of the old road are getting better and better, just when he was proud of the spring breeze, he suddenly remembered the hexagram of his father's death, so the old way used all means to find the land of the dragonfall.
really asked him to find one, which is Chen Ziyang's hometown. So after more than ten years of good life in Guangdong, Lao Dao came here, originally Lao Dao wanted to see if this was the real land of Dragonfall, if not, he would continue to search, anyway, there are still several years before he is forty-nine years old.
But I didn't expect to lose the cash and passbook on the road, and it took several days to reissue the passbook at that time, so there was a scene of the old Taoist restaurant turning the original soup into the original food and eating dumplings.
It was also at that time that Lao Dao knew that this was the land of the dragonfall, he found the right place, he just came here for three days and he accepted an apprentice, Taoist people believe in fate the most, Chen Ziyang's hometown is his destination.
That night was the first time that the master and apprentice had drank, and Lao Dao was happy, and if he drank too much, he would talk more, and all the little secrets of Lao Dao leaked out.
In the summer of Chen Ziyang's senior year, Lao Dao passed away. Lao Dao walked in his sleep, and the cause of death may be cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to Widow Ma, when she found out that Lao Dao had passed away in the morning, the expression on Lao Dao's face was actually smiling, and he was still holding the horn comb that Chen Ziyang bought for Lao Dao with the scholarship he won in his freshman year.
Because the road was too far, Widow Ma didn't let Chen Ziyang's parents tell Chen Ziyang when she walked the old road, for fear of delaying the child's graduation. Besides, people are dead, don't let the living suffer anymore, besides, Chen Ziyang graduated and came back not long after, and it will be the same when he comes back to see Lao Dao's grave. When Chen Ziyang came back from graduation, the grass on the grave of Bochi Lao Dao had grown more than an inch.
Chen Ziyang placed a roast chicken, a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of shallot pig's ears, a plate of dumplings, and a pot of small roast in front of the grave of Lao Dao. Chen Ziyang Ji's old Taoist said when he was drinking at Lao Wang's house that if there is any opportunity to drink in the future, it will be sorted according to the standards of these four dishes.
This master, who has been with him for 14 years since Chen Ziyang was ten years old and has been taking care of him for 14 years, is gone, and Chen Ziyang has not even seen him for the last time.
Lao Dao's graveyard was chosen by Lao Dao himself before his death, on the opposite hill from the hill where the bloody coffin was buried. In the old way, the feng shui here is not very good, but here he can watch the battlefield of the pinnacle battle of his life, think of the child who saved him with a splash of urine, and think of the horse widow, there is no better position than here.
