Chapter 151: Phoenix Dance Nine Heavenly Dragons Sadness 1
readx;? I raised my hand and looked at my palm in the light ahead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The skin is not unusual, but it is in the most densely textured part of the palm that bursts of stinging pain. I gently stroked the palm, but it didn't ease the pain.
"The second needle, the road is broken. The old man's voice came again.
This time, the stinging pain came from the center of my little finger, and the pins and needles felt as sharp as it penetrated through the finger and through the nail.
I know that the old man followed the stitch method of "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavenly Dragon Sorrowful Return", each stitch corresponds to the palm print, and the baby corresponds to myself.
For a moment, I couldn't figure out what was going on, but I just desperately pushed forward, trying to squeeze my way through the crack and stop the old man from continuing to needle.
From the outside, the gap seemed to be straight forward, but after I actually squeezed in, I realized that the wall-like things on both sides were twisted and snaked, some places were concave, and some places were protruding, which caused the gap to be wide and narrow, and from time to time I was stuck. In the narrowest part, I had to hold my hands on the wall, my legs in the air, and jump over the narrowest point from half a human height. More often, I held my breath and leaned over.
Gradually, I moved away from the starting point, closer and closer to the end of the gap.
Inadvertently, I glanced into the air as I flickered and moved, and found two high walls abruptly upward, with no end in sight. In other words, there is no shortcut to break through this gap, you can only go through it step by step.
As I went, the old man had been taking needles, and there were at least a dozen painful pains in my palms, forcing me to keep snorting to ward off the sharp pain that came from nowhere.
By the time I was only four or five steps away from the exit of the gap, I could see roughly what was going on outside.
Under the light, there is a large black table, ten meters long and five meters wide, the wood is black and translucent, it should be rare materials such as iron tree and rosewood, and the momentum is extremely amazing at a glance.
A man in a gray cloth robe stood with his back to me, facing the table, hunched over.
To his right, a black flat leather case with an open lid was spread flat on the table. The chest was covered with a layer of brown cork, and there were hundreds of gold-tailed silver needles inserted densely on it.
"The fifteenth needle, the joy of empty sight, the sorrow of inadoption, the loss of unintentionality, and the ineffective action. As he spoke, he groped his right hand into the wooden box, pulled out a silver needle, held it in the air, groaned slightly, and did not immediately stab it.
I struggled forward, staggered out of the gap, grabbed the man's right arm with both hands, and shouted, "Don't stab, don't stab again!"
When I approached the table, I noticed that a baby who had just completed the moon was lying flat on the table, with his eyes closed and already unconscious.
Under the baby's body was a mattress with a magpie climbing a branch and an eternal knot with a concentric pattern, and under his head, he was already soaked with tears from the tears he had just cried. What angered me the most was that the baby's arms and legs were wrapped in ribbons, and the other end of the ribbon was tied to the wooden stakes on either side of the tabletop. This situation is like a criminal being tied up with five flowers, that is, the five horses are separated. However, he is obviously just a baby, and he can't do any harm to the world at all.
The man was holding the fifteenth needle in his hand, and at this moment, fourteen silver needles had been pierced in the baby's left and right palms, five on the left and nine on the right, in different positions.
"Don't prick it, it'll kill you. I grabbed the man's arm and snatched the silver needle between his thumb and forefinger.
The man's face was not old, but the expression on his face was numb and painful, and there was a contradictory look in his eyes that was both painful and compelling. His needle was snatched away by me, and he suddenly let out a sigh of relief, as if he had been greatly relieved in an instant.
"Who is the honorable driver? He asked.
His voice didn't match his age, he looked like he was only about fifty years old, but his voice was old and hoarse, at least like the tone of seventy.
I couldn't tell him who I was because I came here from the "Room of Mirrors". It is clear that both the way he dresses and the way he speaks is far from the twenty-first century.
"Why did you want to change his life against the sky?" I asked.
In fact, the answer is obvious, that is, what I just heard in the cracks, this baby must be changed, otherwise it may cause a catastrophe of "Double Dragons Winning the Inheritance".
Sure enough, he replied awe-inspiringly: "I would rather change my life, and I would rather lead him to the road of no return, and my generation will obey it today." If it weren't for that, he would take the throne one day, the great country would be destroyed, and the great sin of my generation would also be!"
When I heard the words "no return", I immediately felt a chill in my back.
When a man lives, the most important thing is "the destiny of heaven is not up to me, and my destiny is up to me". If you can't even control your own life and future, what is the difference between living and dying?
When I saw the baby lying on the table with his limbs tied, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The fate of a baby is in the hands of an adult, and when an adult gives it to him privately and changes his life for some purpose, he is so helpless that he cannot respond in any way but crying.
"Is it my fate that has been tampered with by the 'art of changing one's life against the sky'? A big man who could have been a 'double dragon to win the heir' with others has been tampered with as a third-class citizen who is mixed in the market and lives deep in the alleys. "At this moment, I have nothing in my heart but the anger of renunciation.
Originally, I thought that there were only old men with needles in the hall, but I didn't expect that the corner of my eyes swept away, and outside the shadow of the lamp, there were many people sitting in the shadows, and there were at least hundreds of people who couldn't see the edge at a glance.
In the front right of the table, a man and a woman stood embracing each other, while twisting their heads to look at the baby, their eyes extremely complicated.
Behind them, there were more than a dozen old men sitting on the Taishi's chair, all of them holding Erlang's legs in all directions, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves and hung high.
"Who are you?" asked the old man.
"I'm passing. I replied, "Hearing this baby crying miserably, I couldn't help but jump out and meddle in my business." ”
The old man shook his head: "Your Excellency is not an insider, it's better to watch it from a distance, don't blindly get involved." What we are doing now has a direct impact on the inheritance and safety of the family. Step aside, our ritual must go on in its entirety. ”
There were so many needles in the box that even if I snatched the needle from his hand, I couldn't completely eliminate the trouble.
For the time being, I must convince him that the war is over, and that the government of the country will only be the last winner of any gang fight.
"Let him go. I shouted.
The hall was so wide that as soon as my voice came out, it immediately echoed and lingered for a long time.
Everyone remained silent, unmoved by my questioning, except for the baby, who seemed frightened, and struggled slowly on the table.
"It is your need to change your life against the sky, have you ever thought about the feelings of a child? I would like to ask you, are you willing to let others take control of your own lives, like ants in a glass box, walking in the hands of others?"
What I'm really angry about is that the root cause of everyone's silence is that they have nothing to do with the fate of the baby, and what the future of the baby will do not affect their lives.
This is one of the root causes of the "indifference" of the Chinese people, just like when the old government was in power, the people were happy to see the executioner set up a court in the street, cutting off people's heads like opening melons and cutting vegetables. The indifference of people's hearts is so great that they don't want to think that the people who are being cut down are their own kind, not chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, etc.
"You don't understand. The old man shook his head.
"Of course I don't understand. I tried to suppress my anger and looked at the man and woman, "What about you? do you understand?"
"Tell him. The old man nodded.
So, the young man let go of the woman beside him and walked up slowly.
His eyes were dark and bright, and his two sword eyebrows were obliquely raised into his sideburns, making him look extremely energetic.
"Ssangyong's succession involves not only the fate of a family, but also the destruction of a country and a nation, which is an earth-shaking event. No one does not love their children, but this kind of love is small and selfish in the face of national righteousness and the future of the country. I have lived in this hot land since I was a child, and I have received a formal education of 'loyalty to the monarch and dedication to the country', and the blood of 'patriotism and family' flows in my bones. Therefore, once the dispute between 'everyone' and 'small family' is involved, I will not hesitate to give up the interests of 'small family' and make concessions for 'everyone'. I have to change this baby's life, change his life, grow up on another path, make way for his big brother. Friend, no one is stupid, if it weren't for the great stakes involved, who would be willing to take their own children?" The man's words were extremely sincere, but at the same time, he was also calm and calm. Only those who do great things will maintain a calm and calm demeanor in such a major event.
"If the tragedy of 'Ssangyong seizing the heir' happens, it can only prove that it is providence that wants their brothers to fight, and the result of the fight is the future that the world should bear. Do you say that you can go against the will of Heaven for him and influence the will of Heaven for him??
Regarding the historical example of "Shuanglong seizing the heir", the most famous is the "Xuanwumen Change" in the Tang Dynasty. It was the fratricidal battle that enabled Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to ascend to the throne and create the greatest 'rule of Zhenguan' in history.
That example proves that if Providence wants mankind to enter the cycle of "double dragon succession", there must be a reason why it "must be so". Human beings think they have glimpsed the heavens and want to try their best to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but in the end they fall into a bigger trap and pay a heavier price for their own cleverness.
