After Li Xuyang returned home, Li Yongan had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him to come back. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info is such a scene that reminds Li Xuyang of when he was a child, every time he comes back from school, his father makes a meal early, although sometimes his father will not be at home, but eating the food made by his father, his heart is very warm.

It is said that people are like a drifting ship, but home is a harbor. A boat has been adrift for a long time, and from time to time I think back to this harbor where I used to be anchored.

Li Yongan saw Li Xuyang walk into the house, but he was just busy with the work in his hands, and did not talk to Li Xuyang. Li Xuyang didn't bother Li Yongan, but was about to go back to rest after eating, but suddenly remembered the words of the old man he met the day before yesterday. So Li Xuyang turned to look at Li Yongan and asked.

"Dad, what do you mean by the rules and the fate of the heavens?"

Li Yongan was surprised and surprised that Li Xuyang said such a thing, and asked puzzledly, "Who told you?"

So, Li Xuyang told Li Yongan about the general story of meeting the old man on the bus on the way to Handan City.

After listening to Li Xuyang's words, Li Yongan fell into a short silence before replying, "The rules refer to the rules of our family, and they can also be understood as the nine taboos of the mourners. The meaning of fate should mean that our family's fortune is destined to have a catastrophe, and it seems that the two are in conflict with each other, but in fact, the old man is showing you a clear way. ”

As the saying goes, "Destiny cannot be violated." "But human life can be violated, although it is against the will of the ancestors, but in order to change the fate of the family, it has to obey. Since the nine taboos of funeral can be violated, then fate should also be violated, and there must be some connection between the two, otherwise why would the old man be connected and say?

After Li Xuyang finished thinking about it, he muttered back to the house, still recalling the sentence "The rules are determined by man, and the fate is determined by heaven" in his mind.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Xuyang's mobile phone at the bedside rang. Li Xuyang picked it up and saw that it was Wang Xiaokai's call and answered.

"Hey, Grandpa Wang, what's the matter?" asked Li Xuyang.

"Xuyang, are you okay? If you're okay, come to my house! We'll be waiting for you here. Wang Xiaokai's words were a little different from usual, and his voice was even more sad or helpless.

There is also the "we" that Wang Xiaokai said, so the people in his family who are waiting for Li Xuyang are not necessarily a few people, at least Wang Xiaokai is not alone.

"Okay Grandpa Wang, I'll go over after breakfast. After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he chatted with Wang Xiaokai for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

What has always haunted Li Xuyang's heart is those two words "we", who else is the "we" in Wang Xiao's mouth? In fact, there is no need to be so suspicious, Grandpa Wang will not harm himself, since he let himself pass, don't you know who it is in the past?

After breakfast, Li Xuyang went directly to Wang Xiaokai's house.

After coming to Wang Xiaokai's house, he also walked in unceremoniously directly, and as soon as he came to the courtyard, he heard the sound of talking from the house. The voice was said by Wang Xiaokai, probably because of some reason, there was a bit of anger in his tone.

Hearing that Wang Xiaokai was a little angry, Li Xuyang hurriedly walked in, and when he arrived in the room, he realized that the "we" that Wang Xiaokai said at the beginning turned out to be that there was really a person besides Wang Xiaokai, and this person was exactly the person Li Xuyang didn't want to see, this person was Ma Jiu.

Li Xuyang's sudden appearance made Wang Xiaokai very surprised, although he knew that he was coming, but he never expected it to be at this time. On the contrary, Ma Jiu had a calm face, and with a smile, he seemed to be welcoming Li Xuyang's arrival.

"You're here?" Ma Jiu asked Li Xuyang with a smile.

Li Xuyang just nodded and did not speak.

Wang Xiaokai took this opportunity, adjusted his mood for a while, and then returned to his previous appearance, pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit down!"

Li Xuyang also sat down on the stool unceremoniously, first looked at Wang Xiaokai, and then turned his head to look at Ma Jiu. are also old men, from the outside, Wang Xiaokai revealed a kind of affinity and kindness, while Ma Jiu is like a thin veil on himself, although the veil is thin, but he can't see through it and guess it.

"Is there anything wrong with me?" asked Li Xuyang straightforwardly Ma Jiu.

Ma Jiu smiled, touched the white beard on his chin with a somewhat dry hand, and then said, "Li Xuyang, you should know what kind of heavy responsibility you have now, so I asked you to come, just to tell you that I can help you." ”

"Oh?" Li Xuyang showed a surprised expression and asked again, "How can you help me?"

After Ma Jiu looked at Wang and smiled, he smiled again, "I can't tell you for the time being, but you have to go to a place with me." ”

"Where?"

Li Xuyang felt that he hadn't finished asking, and he didn't answer what he wanted to know, so he said, "Why should I believe you?"

"As for why you believe me, I can't give you an answer to this, believe it or not. But I can tell you that you only have one chance, and it's up to you whether you want to go with me or not. Ma Jiu still pretended to be very unfathomable.

"Since you can't give me the answer I want, then unfortunately, I can only tell you that I can't accept your request, I still have something, goodbye. After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.

Ma Jiu still looked at Li Xuyang very calmly, but Wang Xiaokai, who had not spoken on the side, stood up and kept Li Xuyang, "Xuyang, you will leave first." ”

"Is there anything else, Grandpa Wang?" asked Li Xuyang, Wang smiled.

Wang Xiaokai was a little abnormal at this time, looked at Ma Jiu, who was still sitting on the sidelines, and then looked at Li Xuyang, who wanted to leave, and finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Listen to him!" Wang Xiaokai directly gave up the conversation to Ma Jiu. Li Xuyang looked at Ma Jiu, but his body was still at the door, and he didn't plan to go back or leave.

"If you can follow me, I will help you settle the matter of the five ghosts hurting the five elements. I also promised that it would not happen again, which was the only thing I could do. Ma Jiu put away his smile and said.

"Actually, I've always been curious about who you are, and Grandpa Wang is really abnormal today, when I first saw Ma Jiu, you asked me to alienate this person, but now you are on his side, what kind of agreement has been reached between you, or what kind of deal I don't want to interfere with, of course it has nothing to do with me. I'm just an ordinary person, I still have what I should do, I can't afford to play with you, and I don't want to waste time playing. After Li Xuyang said this, he walked out of the room.

Wang Xiaokai still wanted to hold Li Xuyang, but he stretched out half of his hand and stretched it back.

After watching Li Xuyang leave, Ma Jiu once again showed a sinister smile.

Whether it is the person who opens the coffin, or the corpse chaser or the feng shui master, there is indeed no one surnamed Ma. This surname does not exist in Li Xuyang's memory, and since there is none, then Ma Jiu must not be any of these three professions, let alone a mourner. Because in history, the only mourners were the Li family.

Therefore, Li Xuyang did not dare to determine what Ma Jiu's true identity was, but he believed that Ma Jiu was a danger to himself. Although the subconscious is like this, but you can't be careless, and being careful can make the ship of ten thousand years.

After returning home, Li Yongan saw that Li Xuyang was worried and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xuyang told Ma Jiu about it, and asked Li Yongan if there was any special business for the surname Ma.

Li Yongan thought about it for a while, and then told him, "It's not that there is no one surnamed Ma, there is, it's a Maoshan Warlock." In today's parlance, it is the Taoist. ”

A long time ago, Maoshan was divided into two factions, stomping on the ground and raging, due to internal disputes. Stomping on the ground is a kind of demon subjugation and demon removal completed by catching the power of the ancestor on his own body, and the rags are set up to open the altar.

In Li Yongan's memory, there is a generation of stomping heads whose surname is Weima, and the surname of Ragged Yi is Jiang.

It can also be speculated that Ma Jiu may be a disciple of the Maoshan faction. Of course, if this is really the case, then it will not be strange to know the mourner, because Maoshan and the Li family have been quite related since ancient times.

"Could it be that Ma Jiu is really a disciple or heir of Maoshan Stomping on the ground?" asked Li Xuyang.

"It's not necessarily, if I have the opportunity, I really want to meet this Ma Jiu. Because Maoshan has certain rules for respecting elders, and this rule can never be broken, so you can know it when you try it. Li Yongan said, smiling wickedly.

"Okay, I'll go for a walk. Stuffy in the house all day, people are about to get moldy. You left me to look at the shop, and I wasn't allowed to go until I came back. Li Yongan said, with his hands behind his back, singing Peking Opera in his mouth and going out.

Li Xuyang also smiled and looked at the old man and shook his head helplessly, but his heart was even more sad, when he remembered that his father might have a year to live, Li Xuyang felt like crying.

Lying on the rocking chair, looking up at the electric fan that was turning rapidly, Li Xuyang's eyes closed soon.

When Li Xuyang opened his eyes, the sky had already darkened, and it didn't look like it was dark, but more like a precursor to a storm. Li Xuyang hurriedly got down from the rocking chair, came to the door and looked at the sky, the sky was dark, and from time to time bursts of lightning appeared in the dark clouds.

Just as Li Xuyang was about to go back, a figure ran over from the side of the street. This person is none other than Li Yongan.

"Are you okay?" asked Li Xuyang, looking at Li Yongan, who was running out of breath.

"It's okay, not only is it okay, but I also brought you good news. When Li Yongan spoke, he was like a child, and a happy smile was raised on his mouth.

"Oh, what's the good news?"

"Ma Jiu, he is not from Maoshan. Li Yongan's smile disappeared when he said this.
