"First, keep a low profile lately, and don't show off your abilities."

"Second, if you have time, in two days, I will go to my grandfather in the countryside."

Su Jiu opened his mouth to explain.

Zhao Shanyun was stunned, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Lao Jiu, have you encountered something?" Is it dangerous? If you're threatened, cough up! ”

When Su Jiu heard this, his head was suddenly full of black lines: "What are you thinking about?" Don't think about it, there's nothing! ”

Zhao Shanyun continued: "Your tone, no matter how you look at it, it looks like explaining the aftermath! ”

"! I'm too lazy to tell you, hang up first, remember what I said! ”

After hanging up the phone, Su Jiu just stopped a taxi.

Get in the car and go.

……

Qingshan Township is located in the border area of Xiang City.

It takes more than an hour to get here from the city.

Qingshan Township, in the courtyard at the east end of Liu Village, Su Jiu pushed open the courtyard door.

The old man was lying on the bamboo recliner under the vines at the moment, swaying gently.

"Grandpa!" Su Jiu shouted.

The old man opened his eyes: "Why are you here?" Aren't you in school? ”

"Grandpa, I took three days off and wanted to find some information in your study." Su Jiu said with a smile.

"Go ahead!" The old man said indifferently and muttered: "What kind of information does it take three days to find?" ”

Then he didn't bother anymore, and lay down and continued to bask in the sun.

When he was a child, Su Jiu did a lot of this kind of thing, often skipping school and going to his study, and was directly found by the teacher several times, and the old man was not surprised for a long time.

Su Jiu took a step directly and walked towards the study.

The old man's courtyard is similar to a small courtyard house, sitting in the north and facing south, and is divided into east and west wings.

Walking into the study, the type of two-room layout, the walls are filled with handmade bookshelves made of woodwork.

On the surface, these books are a bit old, and even some of them are still linear.

In the room on the left, there is a Taishi chair and a table.

On the table is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and behind it is a glass cabinet bookshelf made of mahogany.

Su Jiu walked directly towards this bookshelf, he knew that the books in this bookcase were the treasures of the old man.

Opening the bookcase, on the far left, Su Jiu picked up a thread-bound book, the book was worn, it seemed that it would be damaged if one was not careful, and it looked very old.

Su Jiu carefully put the book on the table.

On the cover of the book, there are four traditional Chinese characters on it------ "History of the Three Kingdoms".

Su Jiu also sat on the Taishi's chair and began to read.

Most of the books in the old man's study have actually been read by Su Jiu.

But because of the long time, and when I was young, I would watch the story, so my memory is a little blurry.

And now, the world has changed, the aura has revived, and those 'story meetings' may really manifest.

Su Jiu is very clear about this.

The most important thing is that there has been no fault in the history of China for thousands of years, and there must be families, valves, clans, and sects that have been inherited for thousands of years.

Although it is impossible for these classics and ancient books to record in detail these secrets that have been passed down for thousands of years, as long as those records are only a few words, it is enough for Su Jiu to have a certain understanding of this unknown world!

Time passes slowly.

Su Jiu was also reading quietly.

One after another, the books I have read before, when I read them again, the memories in the depths of my mind will naturally come to mind.

Some people who understand families, valves, clans, and sects have gradually gained their own impressions.

I don't know when, the old man walked into the study and stood behind Su Jiu.

When Su Jiu finished reading the book in his hand and was about to take the book to continue reading, the old man spoke: "Why did you suddenly come back and look through these old antiques?" Is it a research project? ”

The old man is also a cultural person, and he also knows a little about the university.

"It's not a research project!" Su Jiu put down the book in his hand, rubbed his jerky eyes, stood up and moved his body, and said, "Grandpa, there should be a hidden river and lake in this world!" ”

When the old man heard this, he was immediately stunned, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he smiled: "Didn't you believe in these things before?" How? Have you met someone from all walks of life? ”

"Grandpa, is there really three teachings and nine streams? What you said before is true? Although Su Jiu had already believed in the existence of these things, when he heard the old man's ridicule, he couldn't help but open his mouth again to confirm.

The old man smiled and said, "I have always said that it is true, but it is a pity that this is the era of the end of the law, and those immortals who used to be have disappeared. ”

When the old man said this, his eyes revealed the thoughts of memory, and he was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke: "When I was a child, I met it when I followed your Taizu to the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains. ”

The old man said slowly: "That was probably more than sixty years ago! It was a war-torn era, your Taizu contributed to the country at that time, and it was rare to go home once a year, and I suddenly got a rare disease in the summer of that year, and I was weak all day. ”

"He was so anxious that he finally took me out of the house and went to the Yunnan-Guishan Mountains to ......"

After a while, the old man finally finished speaking.

The story is very simple, Su Jiu heard it very clearly, that is, in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, in a nameless mountain forest, there is a Taoist temple.

Back then, the old man went to this Taoist temple to seek medicine.

There is only one old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, and the old Taoist priest looks ordinary, but he has magical spells and immortal methods.

In just a short period of time, the old man's illness was cured, like an immortal manifestation.

"And then?" Su Jiu opened his mouth and asked the doubts in his heart.

Suffering from a rare disease since childhood, entering the mountains to find a miraculous master for treatment, this is a proper protagonist template!

Su Jiu subconsciously asked.

"Then I went home! The disease is cured, why are you still there? Disturb the master's cultivation? The old man glanced at Su Jiu angrily.

"Ugh!" When Su Jiu heard this, he was speechless on the spot.

After being embarrassed for two seconds, Su Jiu asked again: "Grandpa, tell me about the three sects and nine streams on the rivers and lakes!" ”

This is also what Su Jiu wants to know most about at present.

Hearing his grandson's inquiry, the old man also looked serious: "Okay, I'll nag you and nag." ”

"Since ancient times, under the imperial power, there has been a small society composed of three religions and nine streams, five elements and eight works, which is what you now call the rivers and lakes."

"But in the past, it was not called the name of Jianghu, but on the road."

"Take the three religions and nine streams as an example, the first three religions and nine streams also have another saying, called the three religions and nine streams and ten schools, the three religions are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the nine streams originally included the three religions, referring to: Confucianism, Taoism, Mohistism, Legalism, famous families, miscellaneous families, peasant families, vertical and horizontal families, Yin and Yang families, nine streams and ten schools, in addition to the nine streams plus novelists."

The old man paused and continued to speak: "However, with the passage of time and the development of society, the three religions have not changed, but the nine streams have begun to slowly evolve into the upper, middle and lower three and nine streams. ”

"Among them, the upper nine streams are: first-class Buddha, second-rate immortals, third-rate emperors, fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate pavilion elders, six prime ministers, seven advances, eight moves, and nine Jieyuan."

"The middle and ninth streams refer to: first-class talents, second-rate doctors, third-rate danqing (painters), fourth-rate skins (shadow puppetry), fifth-rate playing and singing, sixth-rate gold (fortune-telling), and seven monks, eight ways and nine chess."

"As for the lower nine streams, they are: first-class high platforms, second-rate blowing, third-rate circuses and fourth-rate pushing, fifth-rate pools and six back-rubbing, seven repairs and eight prostitutes and nine prostitutes."

The old man's tone was very slow, and he slowly narrated: "The Three Sects and Nine Streams cover all the professions in the entire history, so that the later Five Elements and Eight Sects and Seventy-two Sects are just evolved from the upper, middle and lower nine streams. ”

"And the names of these professions have not been recognized by the imperial power, but have only spread among the people, and slowly, they have also been integrated into the Tao, that is, the rivers and lakes you just said."

"Actually, the cultivators on the Dao have little to do with the three sects and nine streams at the bottom, and most of the cultivation methods are in the hands of the families, sects, and sects."

"It's just that there is no enduring dynasty, and there is no eternal immortal life, as time goes by, after the decline of some families and sects, they also have to eat, live, slowly, when some people with peculiar skills, for life, for a few taels of silver, enter these trades, show an extraordinary side, and naturally there are those folk legends."

"This may be the early stage of the formation of rivers and lakes!"

The old man said in conclusion.

And Su Jiu was also quiet at the moment, he was thinking about the information that this old man said.

Moment.

"Grandpa, what about the family, the valve, the clan, and the sect?" Su Jiu continued to ask.

When the old man heard this, he spoke again: "The family, valve, clan and sect are actually not so clearly divided. ”

"They seem to be separate, but in fact they are one."

"Why?" Su Jiu was a little puzzled.

"Think about the current internet giants, tech companies!" The old man said with a smile: "Marriage is the key to the reason, everyone is a person on the road, thousands of years, you have me, I have you, do you say this is the truth?" ”

When Su Jiu heard this, he suddenly realized.

The old man continued: "Of course, this is not absolute, there is a struggle between each other, there is hatred and hatred between each other. ”

"The method of cultivation is inherited from these forces, and where there are people, there is fighting, and this is also the truth that has always been flattered."

"Take the Maison, for example! A hundred years ago, it was recorded in this classic that there are nine families that exist at present, which are called the nine great families, Zhang Zhang, Kong Jing Su Liu, East Liu Xi, Zhao Zang Ma Qian. ”

When Su Jiu heard this, he was stunned and puzzled: "Aren't there only eight Zhang, Kong, Su, Liu, Liu, Zhao, Ma, and Qian?" ”

"This Zang is not hidden!" As the old man spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote on the table.

"The surname Zang is mainly derived from the surname Ji, the earliest from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, strictly speaking, it is a branch of the Su family, if you really want to dig your roots to find your ancestors, it should be the same ancestor, but the surname Zang was originally because of the war, went to the northwest, and then gradually developed and grew." The old man explained.

"Oh! I understand! Su Jiu suddenly realized.

The old man continued to speak: "As for the valve, you can understand the branch of the family, each family has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is always a few amazing talents in its branch lineage, which is also the reason for the emergence of the valve, they are backed by the family, with a huge heritage, which is naturally very incomparable." The same is true of the clan, but some geniuses do not want to be controlled by the family and separate independently. ”

"Most of the sects evolved from the three religions. Fundamentally speaking, it is inextricably linked with the three religions. You look at the Jianghu sects mentioned in the film and television dramas, what is true, Maoshan, in fact, fundamentally speaking, it is inseparable from Taoism. ”

"This is the same as the family origin joke you said on the Internet, who doesn't have the identity of a royal prince and nobleman in his ancestors?"

"I see!"

Listening to the old man's explanation, combined with the memory in his mind, Su Jiu had a clear and clear concept of this 'road', that is, the rivers and lakes.

Thousands of years of Chinese history, inherited to the present, the concept of family clan has been long-lasting, and the influence of the family behind it can be said to be indispensable.

No matter what sect or sect, there are nine streams and ten schools, and the participants are all human beings, and people are inseparable from the relationship of the family.

Su Jiu exuded thinking, judging and analyzing in his heart.

I also have my own understanding of the information I know.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you suddenly curious about this?" The old man shifted the subject to this again.

He knows his grandson very well and has always done things with a purpose.

Never do anything that is useless.

All of a sudden, he took a leave of absence to come to the countryside to learn about these things, and he didn't believe it for no reason.

Su Jiu thought about it, and finally decided to hide the secret in his body, and instead shifted the topic to another one: "Grandpa, have you been online recently?" ”

"Not on! I haven't even used the phone you gave me! The old man said indifferently: "Why are you suddenly saying this?" ”

"Didn't watch the video, the news?" Su Jiu asked again.

"I didn't see it, what kind of sound are you talking about, it's all a little girl who is twisting around, what's so good?" The old man turned on the complaining mode: "I remember that you seem to have explained to me what big data or something, this mobile phone is used by you, I haven't used it once......"

"Ahem!" When Su Jiu heard this, his face immediately turned red, interrupted the old man's words, and said, "Grandpa, it should be that the aura has recovered recently." ”

"Reiki revival?" When the old man heard this, his face was stunned, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.

His eyes were filled with horror, joy, and fear.

Su Jiu looked at this scene, it was hard to imagine that a person's eyes could contain several emotions in a short period of time.

"Yes, the aura has been revived, it has been reported on the news, and now many people have awakened their abilities!" Su Jiu came back to his senses and said with an explanation: "Ability is a special function, some can set fire, some can spray water, and some are infinitely powerful. ”

The old man came back from the shock and said with an anxious expression: "Take out your mobile phone and look at the news of the revival of the aura, as well as the news of those powers." ”

When Su Jiu saw the old man's expression and anxious emotions, he faintly felt in his heart that it seemed that the old man had some secrets in his heart!
