Chapter 3 Ten Veins to Heaven
When Lotte came back, he saw his grandfather waiting for him outside the courtyard gate from a distance, and he was very happy to know that the patriarch must have told him about the prescription, "Grandpa, the dew has returned!"
Grandpa's eyes were full of love, and he bent his waist to meet him.
"Xiaole, you must not do such a dangerous thing in the future!" Grandpa took the jar and returned to the house with Lotte.
"Xiaole, listen to grandpa tell you, your prescription is still short of a medicine to induce ......"
"What's missing?Grandpa, I'll look for it!" Lotte raised his sweaty little face and looked at Grandpa earnestly.
"This medicine is introduced in the outside world, that is, the outside of Changsheng Mountain, you can't get out with it, when you celebrate your birthday, grandpa will go out to find it by himself, and when I find it back, I will come back." Grandpa looked at Lotte, his eyes were full of love and reluctance.
Lotte took Grandpa's hand "Grandpa, you are not well, I want to go out with you, I want to take care of you!"
"Good boy, listen to grandpa, grandpa can't go out with you, you wait for grandpa at home, memorize the book well, I have to check it when I come back!"
Lotte was a little disappointed, but he thought that today was his grandfather's birthday and couldn't make him unhappy, so he quickly packed up the housework.
On Grandpa's birthday, Grandpa was very happy and talked a lot to Lotte, what immortals who cultivate immortals can go to heaven and earth, what nine days and ten lands are vast, and there are people outside who are sophisticated......
Lotte listened to it with relish, he didn't expect that his grandfather had never been out of the mountains, and he knew so much, and his grandfather had never told him about this before, which made him very excited, and his heart was full of longing.
In the past few days on Rakuten's birthday, my grandfather's illness seems to have suddenly improved a lot, and I didn't hear the sound of my grandfather's illness at midnight. And grandpa's back is also straightened, and even the wrinkles have stretched a lot, making this and that for him every day, and even weaving a few pairs of straw sandals.
What made him even happier was that his grandfather told him a lot of stories, especially the poignant story of an immortal and the thirteen-tailed fox fairy, which made Lotte secretly cry for the protagonist.
On Lotte's birthday, Grandpa stayed by his side all the time, cooked a lot of delicious food, and sometimes sat there and watched him quietly. He knew that his grandfather would definitely not worry about himself alone after leaving, so he acted happy, and he didn't want his grandfather to travel far away and still worry about himself.
When he was going to bed at night, his grandfather gave him a delicate little jade key, and hung it around his neck, telling him to take good care of it. Grandpa under the light looked much taller, but in the haze he felt that there seemed to be a black gas between his grandfather's eyebrows, grandpa watched him sleep, stood next to him and watched him for a long time, until two lines of tears dripped onto his hands, and then reluctantly left.
The next day, Lotte got up early, he was going to see off his grandfather, but he didn't see his grandfather, he only saw a note from his grandfather on the table, "Xiaole, I'm leaving, remember that no matter what happens, you must be strong, and the man must be bold and responsible." Be sure to take care of yourself!"
Lotte ran outside like crazy, grandpa left so early, he must not have eaten, and he hasn't said goodbye to grandpa, why did he leave?! Lotte lost his soul and searched everywhere, until the patriarch grandpa found him, the night had fallen, and he still didn't see the shadow of grandpa.
The patriarch was very distressed when he saw Lotte's appearance, and without saying anything, he carried him back to his house and brought him food.
"Lotte, it's a good thing that grandpa went to find a medicine guide, don't be sad!"
Lotte's little face was raised, and he looked at the patriarch grandfather steadily, "Patriarch grandpa, grandpa didn't eat breakfast, he won't get sick on the way, right?"
The patriarch pulled Lotte and leaned into his arms, "Oh, by the way, your grandfather prepared a birthday present for you yesterday, and left early this morning, let me pass it on to you." ”
The patriarch took out a wooden box from the back room and sent it to Lotte, who held the box in his arms, ate something and said goodbye to the patriarch and went home.
When he got home and opened the box, Lotte was pierced in the eye by a dazzling light, and a delicate small tower appeared in front of him. I don't know what material the small tower is made of, and the whole body of the tower is shining. There are a total of thirteen floors of small towers, each floor has a beautiful small door, although the tower is small, but the details are clear, finely crafted, Lotte has never seen such a delicate thing, and I can't put it down at once.
Grandpa prepared such a beautiful gift for his birthday, but he didn't send him away from his snooze, and Lotte held the tower in his arms, and he blamed himself very much.
The first time Lotte lived alone without his grandfather, he always felt empty in his heart, originally the patriarch grandfather wanted him to move to his house, but he felt that he should wait for his grandfather to come back at his and grandfather's house, and he had to clean the room every day, and he also had to look at the birds' eggs. If the medicine is brought back, and the eggs are missing, he will definitely not forgive himself.
Lotte fell asleep in a cranky and spent his first night alone.
In the morning, he was awakened by the chirping of the long-lived chicken. His shoes were lost yesterday, and he remembered that his grandfather had made him a few pairs, so he took one and put them on.
The strange thing for him was that the shoes did not fit properly, and they were much bigger. Lotte suddenly remembered something, and his heart trembled inexplicably, and he quickly put a few pairs of shoes together, he was a little stupid.
Several pairs of shoes are not the same size, and grandpa has prepared shoes for himself for a few years?
Lotte remembered the note that his grandfather had left for him, and the key around his neck, and he had a very bad feeling, could it be that grandpa was going to leave for a long time, or that he would not come back?
He bit his lip tightly, trying to control his thoughts, and suppressed the urge to cry. Grandpa told him to be strong, he couldn't cry, looking at the small tower in his hand, thinking that grandpa was dragging the sick body outside alone, and his heart was like a knife.
Lotte couldn't help but bite his lip, and a drop of blood dripped onto the key in his chest.
The key suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, and the small tower glowed in the same light.
Lotte was startled, woke up from the gains and losses, and was immediately attracted by the light, and after careful inspection, he was surprised to find that there was a key-shaped groove on each floor of the tower door of the small tower, and the light was emitted from the key groove.
He involuntarily took off the key, and the ghost sent the key into the groove, and it was a perfect match. At the same time, the light of the small tower was even brighter, and the tower door opened automatically.
Before Lotte could take a closer look, an inexplicable suction force came, and he disappeared in the house, the tower door closed instantly, and the light disappeared without a trace.
Lotte was a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
The space he was in was the size of two rooms, and the pillars and furnishings around him were of the same material as the outside of the small tower, shining with golden light, and there were various intricate patterns on the walls around him. Lotte was stunned by what he saw.
"Little Le, Le'er!" Lotte was awakened by a shout.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Where are you?" Lotte was overjoyed when he heard that it was Grandpa's voice!
"Xiaole, I can't tell you a word or two, you listen carefully!" Grandpa's voice was a little weak, as if he was about to float away at any time.
"Can you still remember the sixteen books you've read?"
"Remember, you can recite it backwards. Grandpa, why are you here?" Lotte looked around, but there was no shadow of grandpa, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Child, I don't have much time this time, remember the second half of the first book, the first half of the fifth, the second half of the ninth, the first half of the thirteenth, and put them back together in the order of the words to become a complete new book, that is to say, the first word in the second half of the first book is the first word, and then the first word in the first half of the fifth book is the second word of the new book, and so on, it becomes a new book. The title of this book is "Ten Veins to Heaven", and you have to shape your veins according to the method it describes, which is the most crucial first step to becoming a strong person. I'm weak right now, and I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, and you'll learn about them later. Remember, if providence prevents you from living a long and leisurely life here, then be a person who stands up to the heavens and the earth. When you succeed in shaping your veins, you can enter here by dropping blood on the key, and I guess I will be able to wake up by then......"
Although Lotte had a thousand words to ask, he silently took his grandfather's words to heart. The amount of information given by grandpa is a bit large, he can't digest it at once, how can grandpa's voice appear here, and why is there such a large space in such a small tower?
"No matter how difficult it is, you must succeed, if you don't succeed, you won't be able to enter again......" Grandpa's words became softer and softer, and with the disappearance of the words, Lotte was involuntarily sent out of the small tower by a mysterious force and appeared in the house.
Lotte carefully pondered his grandfather's words several times, and although the doubts still could not be solved, the one thing he understood most was that he had to succeed in shaping his pulse. Although he doesn't know what it means now, he knows that if he wants to see his grandfather again, he must succeed, and he believes that no matter how difficult it is, he will succeed and will definitely see his grandfather again.
What happened in the past two days was like a dream for this child, who had just turned eight, full of mystery and weirdness, but the more it happened, the calmer he became. Yesterday he cried one after another because of his grandfather's affairs, but after today's incident appeared, he understood the meaning of being strong on his grandfather's note, and he needed to calm down and do everything his grandfather said well.
According to what his grandfather said, he shuffled the order of the four books and recombined the text to form a new secret book "Ten Veins to the Heavenly Formula", and the combined book is no longer astringent and difficult to understand, Lotte only read the beginning, and was deeply attracted.
The book says: Everyone thinks that people have nine veins, nine is the ultimate, and those who shape the nine veins are the dragon and phoenix among people, and they have nine into respect. And my ten veins through the sky decided to shape nine veins for the real veins, and the tenth veins for the virtual veins, although it is virtual, the real is real. The tenth vein is difficult to shape more than the sum of ten times the nine veins, but the successful person can perceive the heaven and the earth, turn the virtual into reality, and simplify the complex, which can shake the heaven and the earth.
The introduction in the book made Lotte fascinated, it turned out that when he read these sixteen books, he always felt that he had caught something, but he couldn't grasp it, and now he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment and enlightenment.
