Chapter 20: Ancient Inheritance and Helpless Destruction
In these processes, Hanzhang's heart slowly took refuge.
First, she has a more accurate self-understanding of the spiritual inheritance of human beings throughout the ages, and her heart is down-to-earth and peaceful;
The second is that for the old head, she unconsciously rose more and more admiration, which is a kind of young daughter's curtain against Wei'an's father!
Today is the Qingming Festival, and Hanzhang is very happy. She knew that she didn't have to go to the Spirit Academy again. As early as a few days ago, the old head began to fast and bathe for this holiday.
Qingming is a particularly important festival in the introduction of festival books.
Therefore, in the morning, the east was not white, and Hanzhang got up excitedly dressed. Thinking about it, it must be another wonderful day.
When she got out of the bedroom and went downstairs, the old man was already busy with candles again!
Hanzhang couldn't help but show a big smile. When she came back from the Spirit Academy yesterday, she had already consciously said hello to Yi Jian and asked him to help say goodbye to the Spirit Master of the Enlightenment Section.
Yi Jian, this child, as long as he doesn't meet that peach blossom, is generally quite reliable.
After she finished washing, she looked at the busy old man, and couldn't help but follow his figure in and out.
For a while, as soon as the light was released, the old man opened the door of the hall and put the sacrificial supplies on the table.
A sense of solemnity emanated, which made Han Zhang's heart begin to beat nervously.
But the next sacrificial process made her puzzled. Because Lao Detou only waited for her to kowtow hastily, he brought the food back to the dining table, and motioned for her to start breakfast.
Such a sloppy process was seriously inconsistent with her expectations, and there was both a lack of heaviness and a little charm in it.
Hanzhang just thought about it while eating, but didn't ask the reason. Because there is something wrong with the old man's state today. There was a faint aura of sadness, pain, and determination on his body.
This state can't help but remind Hanzhang of the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is a little different!
Hanzhang observed silently, and after breakfast, Lao Detou took her back to the hall and asked:
"Do you know what this room is called?"
Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Hall!"
"No!" said to the old man with a gentle and earnest expression,
"This is the ancestral hall! It is the ancestral hall of the Yu family! The people enshrined here are the ancestors of the Yu family who have achieved great things for generations! Look at itββ"
Lao Detou pointed to a small wooden board hanging not far from the lintel on the beam of the house and asked:
"Can you read what is written on it?"
Hanzhang looked carefully, and faintly saw only three handwritings, but the font was complex and ancient, not what she knew. She could only shake her head and say she didn't know.
"Yan-Sheng-Gong-"
Lao Detou read it to her word by word, and said:
"The inheritance of the Yu family is very long, about five or six thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Yu family had the medical skills that were famous in the world at that time, and the ancestors of the Yu family practiced medicine with benevolence, passed down from generation to generation, and had a high reputation in the world where the states were lined up at that time.
More than 3,000 years ago, the Yu family had declined, and the children and grandchildren of the Yu family had been scattered all over the world at that time.
"Three thousand years ago, the world was in turmoil, and the wars between various states and countries continued for years, and the people were struggling to make a living. In such a situation, the Yu family has another talented ancestor.
Although he grew up in a poor family, he was particularly studious, and at a very young age he was able to learn from the strengths of his domestic servants and draw inferences from others. Later, in the experience of wandering everywhere, he gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools into one, so as to have the foundation of a safe life.
When he became an adult, he looked at the world and took pity on the sufferings of the world, so as to explore human nature and seek the way of peace in the world. In the end, he learned a lot, and recruited a wide range of disciples to spread it to the world. It has made great contributions to the peace of humanity for more than 2,000 years.
"In order to commemorate him, the descendants posthumously crowned him as a saint, and then despite the change of royal power and the flow of the world, each generation of authority will posthumously crown his descendants, and the longest title is 'Yan Shenggong'!
"This title has been extended until the opening of the spiritual civilization!
"'Yan Sheng Gong' is the glory of the Yu family, although the descendants of the Yu family are no longer as successful as their ancestors, but they are also talented. The family has been passed down from generation to generation, and has experienced the wealth of the sky, the cruel humiliation, the peace and prosperity, and the smoke of war in the inheritance!
"It has been more than 2,000 years and it has flourished and stood tall!
"It wasn't until the spiritual civilization was opened that the main branch of the Yu family was trapped, and the glory of the Yu family began to decline, and now only my father and daughter are left!
"But you remember, the Yu family can not exist, the spirit of the Yu family must not exist, what the ancestors left behind is not the Yu family, but a spiritual fire!"
After speaking, Lao De sharpened the jade in his hand with his thumb. Then he solemnly put it back in his pocket.
Suddenly, a large amount of information filled his mind, and before Han Zhang could figure out a clue, he saw that the old man was picking and choosing the wooden sign that he respected very much just now, and picked out a few pieces to knock off the base, and there was a book in it!
He handed her four or five of these books and said:
"The content of these books is relatively simple, and you should be able to understand it!"
Hanzhang took it for a while, like a treasure.
Although it can be seen from the title of the book on the cover, like the "Xunmeng", it is a kind of reading for children.
But with her previous experience, she no longer dares to look down on her!
Hanzhang held the book in her arms, and couldn't help but put her greedy eyes on the wooden signs in the room, fortunately, she still knew the truth of "you can't become fat if you eat in one breath".
She withdrew her gaze, and happily sorted out the book in her arms, and even the old man who was full of tragedy just now looked at her, and there was a smile in his eyes!
It's just that when Hanzhang was sorting out a few books, Lao Detou made a strange move.
He carried the wooden signs in the room one by one to the courtyard, and shook out all the books inside, and piled them up in a mess.
Hanzhang looked at his movements in a daze, and a bad feeling filled his heart.
Sure enough, the old man put a circle of dry straw around these wooden signs and books, and lit a fire without shaking his hands!
Watching the flames rise slowly, it became a momentum after a while, and Han Zhang only felt that his chest was dry and his throat was tight. She looked at the books in her hand, and then at the hill-like pile in the fire. A voice in my heart kept comforting itself:
It doesn't matter, these books are enough for her to read, maybe she won't live to finish it!
But watching the fire burn more and more, her mind couldn't help but echo the world of books she had wandered during this time.
That world has just had an outline, that world is a vast whole, and that world is still lacking so many wonderful things to fill it......
She looked at the words on the covers of those books in the light of the firelight: poems, books, Taoism, astronomy, almanacs, soldiers, medicine, agriculture......
Where is this burned book?
This is clearly a world of human spiritual civilization!
Hanzhang couldn't hold back any longer, she didn't realize that her empty hand had stretched forward, and her body was about to rush out with an inclined trend - to pick out all the books that were being engulfed in flames!
