Chapter 3 Inevitable
Chapter 3 is inevitable
It is said that Hu Yang has always been bold, and once bragged that even if Huashan fell in front of his house, as long as he didn't hit himself, his parents and his house, he would not change his face, as if he didn't see it. But this old Taoist sentence startled him, it is estimated that as long as it is not a person of Lao Dao's age, there are really few people who can remain calm after hearing this sentence.
"Desperate, what desperate?" Hu Yang hurriedly asked.
Lao Dao was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "You are the real killer wolf, the starlight shining body, you are a masterpiece, it is rare to see in a thousand years!"
As soon as Hu Yang heard that it was not right, was this not a good thing? What does it have to do with desperation? So he asked again: "I checked the information on the Internet, and it is said that a quarter of the people are killed by wolves, so isn't there more than a billion people in all mankind?"
Lao Dao was slightly exposed and quite disapproving: "There are countless books and secret methods for stargazing and fortune-telling in this world, as for the advantages and disadvantages of truth and falsehood, I will not evaluate the merits of the poor Dao. Poor Dao only said that he killed the wolf's life, do you know that the Warring States is white?"
Although Hu Yang's grades in liberal arts are not good, he still remembers the names of well-known figures in history: "I know, people are slaughtered!"
Lao Dao further asked: "Bai Qi killed two million people in his life, he slaughtered people, but killed gods! Do you know what kind of life Bai Qi is?"
Hu Yang shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Lao Dao explained: "That Bai Qi is the real killer wolf, the seven kills the star shine body, and there is the Chu king Han Xin, the Three Kingdoms Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, which one is not the hero of the world, how can it be compared to the idle people?
I understand, but no one knows whether the big names like Han Xin, Bai Qi, and Liu Guanzhang you are talking about are killing the wolf's life, and it seems that I have been saying that I am good for so long.
"What's the matter with what the Dao Chief said about his death?"
Lao Dao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Everything has a benefit and a disadvantage." If you were born in an era of war, you may have been a general of an army at your age, but you were born at the wrong time, the world is so peaceful that there is no place for you. It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Hu Yang asked, "Then what is my fate?"
"You were born at the wrong time, your life is expensive, it is a blessing or a curse, there will be great disasters in adulthood, and there is a danger of loss in front of you, even yourself, it is also unpredictable. ”
Without waiting for Hu Yang to ask again, he continued: "Poor Dao looked for your parents twice, and I wanted to tell you directly, but Poor Dao was powerless to help, and it was useless to say it, which only increased my troubles. Now seeing that your natal year is coming, the disaster is in front of you, and you do have a fate with the old way, if you don't speak and wake up, my heart is not at ease! The old way has little time in this world, and I just want to leave but this cause and effect, as for whether to believe it or not, it all depends on the little donor, yourself!"
Hu Yang thought to himself that since the words had been said like this, he simply asked clearly: "I have a question, don't be surprised, I know that the Taoist is for my good, but the Taoist said several times that it was related to me, and said that it had a cause and effect with me, I don't know where this cause started?"
Lao Dao was not angry, and said calmly: "It's a bit long, since you asked, I'll make it clear to you." Are you still there?"
Hu Yang touched his chest: "Here, I haven't taken it off when I slept." ”
Lao Dao nodded with satisfaction, and his half-closed eyes seemed to be recalling: "On the day the little donor was born, the poor Dao was in the Yuquan Courtyard......"
Twenty-four years ago, the summer when Populus euphratica was born.
Lao Dao was still a middle-aged Taoist priest in his fifties, he was hit by fate in his twenties, and became a monk in frustration, and how he cultivated the Taoism in the past 30 years, not to mention him, but affected by his own experience, he worked very hard in stargazing, fortune-telling, physiognomy and other miscellaneous studies, and studied hard, and he had some skills.
On that day, the Taoist priest went to the Yuquan Temple in Sanyin City to meet Taoist friends, and by the way, he saw if there were any miscellaneous classics to borrow to study. Panhuan was about to go back two days later, but he encountered that rainstorm, dark clouds shrouded for a long time but no rain came, and it was late, and he felt a little depressed. But who likes to look at the stars likes a rainy day? The weather is hot and stuffy, and when there is nothing to do, they stand in front of the window and watch the sky in a daze.
The rain finally came, and there was a thunderclap. No! The thunder is not right! How can there be thunder with the sound of gold and jade? That lightning is not right! How can there be lightning that is straight when it splits? And it is bifurcated?
The Taoist priest saw a bolt of lightning divided into three streams in mid-air, one of which was afraid that it would not be the thickness of a bucket, and it fell straight to the earth. One thick and one thin two fell on the Lotus Peak of Huashan, and the other fell to the east of Shanyin City, the distance should not be far, the lightning illuminated the whole county, and the Taoist priest remembered the direction. I felt that things were not small, so I hurriedly turned around and flipped through the book to check, and then the rain stopped, and the Taoist priest read the book for a while, looked at the stars for a while, and came to turn the book after reading the stars, and worked all night.
The next day, the Taoist priest couldn't sleep, and came to the outskirts of the city early in the morning to visit, if there was a child born in the place where the lightning fell, it means that the calculation was correct, and the work was not in vain last night.
I remember the direction accurately, plus the movement caused by the birth of Master Hu is not small, and I really found the right one, and after asking about the people left and right, some people who went to the door of Hu's house yesterday to join in the excitement said that when Master Hu was born, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, which was split by thunder. When I heard this, I was very excited, boy, I am looking for you!
The Taoist priest naturally knows that people are sophisticated, and they can't say unlucky things when they just give birth to a child, and they can't always say: Your child will die in the future, right?
After saying those words, the Taoist priest hurried back to Huashan. After going back, he was not idle, he wanted to find the other two lightning bolts, so he climbed up and down around the west peak of Huashan for more than half a month, and even borrowed rope from the cleaner who picked up garbage in Huashan, and searched all over the cliffs. The west peak of Huashan Mountain is not big, just when he searched all the corners and was tired enough, in the words of Uncle Dabao, the hard work paid off, and finally found a bead in the crack of the cliff. Seeing that the stone has broken marks, but the beads are intact, and after verification and discovery, the bead material is unknown, so it is concluded that this thing is not lost by tourists, it must be the lightning brought from outside the sky, so it is very professional to call it "the pearl outside the sky".
As for the other coarse lightning, the Taoist priest was no longer able to find it, so it came down to being unlucky. It's just that every time I see the "Pearl of the Sky", I think of the Hu family boy, and sigh a few times: I was born at the wrong time, it's a pity, it's a pity......
More than ten years have passed in this way, and this matter has been haunting the Taoist priest's heart. Cultivators pay attention to the fact that there is nothing in the mind and act directly to the heart, otherwise they will have worries in their hearts, which is not conducive to meditation and concentration, and after a long time, they will even become demonic obstacles and destroy the Dao foundation, which is for the demons of the heart. One day, the Taoist priest saw the bead again, thinking that the boy was about to be twelve years old, and he was about to die in his natal year, so he picked up the bead, got up and went down the mountain to visit him for the second time......
More than ten years have passed, this matter has not been forgotten, recently the old Tao knows that time is running out, looking back on the life encounter, the deepest reflection is this incident. The older a person gets, the more he thinks, always thinking about what the little benefactor of the Hu family will do when he is twelve years old...... The more I think about it, the more demonic obstacles I have, so I simply go down the mountain to find them, otherwise I have a demonic obstacle in my heart, even if God gives me a chance when I die, I can't become a ghost and immortal, and I can't see Taishang Laojun.
When I went to Hu Yang's house to ask, I found out that Hu Yang was still studying in school. Lao Dao couldn't wait, so he went directly to Anxi, until he sat here drinking tea and telling stories......
After listening to the old Taoist story, Hu Yang's heart was a mess, in the words of the Taoist priest, that is, the demon obstacle has been born.
Regardless of whether this thing is true or not, but it did happen to me, the old way is true, as the truth is, the story sounds like there is some truth, and the bead is still hanging on himself. Lao Dao came uninvited three times for more than 20 years, and he never deceived himself, if he wanted to deceive, he would have been deceived a long time ago, so why wait until now? I can't help but be grateful to Lao Dao in my heart.
After sitting for a long time, I thought that I didn't care about anything else, I was not afraid of 10,000, I was afraid of what happened to me, at least I had to ask clearly what the consequences of this matter would be: "Then Dao Chief, tell me what will happen to my natal year? There is still more than a month to go before my birthday, you directly said that I can stand it." ”
Lao Dao was silent with his dry beard like a vegetable, and Hu Yang waited in a hurry before he could hear him say: "Then Lao Dao will say it directly! You are twenty-four years old, and your parents are afraid of misfortune, as for yourself, you will die for a lifetime, and your life will hang by a thread!"
Hu Yang snorted: "Ah? Is there a solution?"
Lao Dao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If Lao Dao has a way, why wait until today?"
Hu Yang thought about it, if he had a way, wouldn't he have said it more than ten years ago? His heart was cold, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Lao Dao looked at him and said earnestly: "Although Lao Dao is shallow and can't help you solve his misfortunes, but there have been ups and downs before the poor Dao became a monk, and I have a word to give to the little donor: The old saying is that life and death have life, and wealth is in the sky." If the sky wants to give, people will get it if they don't take it, and if they want to take it from heaven, they will lose it if they don't give it up. When things come to an end, only to face them calmly, panic in vain, and it will not help. You should try your best to take precautions, and if it is really unavoidable, and your heart is calm, why not die?"
It's not a practical solution to a problem, but sometimes it's more important than anything else. Lao Dao almost poured out his heart and lungs, and he did his best.
Populus euphratica is a free-spirited character, and as soon as I heard it right, I was right! Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in heaven; although this is said to be negative, if the heavens really want me to die, what is the use of being positive? People die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years! Then make some preparations and see how I will die on this day!
My heart was no longer so heavy, and I remembered that I had drunk tea for so long, and I was hungry, and the old Tao had been running around for more than 20 years, and I didn't even know his name, no, it was the road number. I felt very guilty in my heart, so I said that I would invite the old man to dinner, and then he would spend a few days in Anxi, but the old man insisted on not accepting it, saying that he would leave.
After repeated efforts, the old Taoist still left, saying that he was going to see Taoist friends in a Taoist temple not far away. In desperation, Hu Yang had to go to the side of the road to call a taxi, pay the money, help him get in the car and leave, and when he left, he asked him for the road number - Jingyi.
Standing on the side of the road and watching the car go away, Hu Yang couldn't help but feel a little stunned, and said in his heart: No matter what you say is true or false, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. This old man is a real Taoist, a pure Taoist, and a respectable Taoist.
When I came back to my senses, I called home first, and my parents didn't have any accidents at home, and I was relieved, but this matter must not be sloppy, the so-called rather believe that it is not credible, and we must prepare early and prepare more. I went back to the dormitory and thought about it for a long time, what should I prepare? Prepare for the future? Let's not say whether it's true or not, even if I really die, then I don't have to be so early, and my birthday is more than a month away! Besides, everyone is dead, so why don't you care about the future! By the way, the key is the parents, the parents are old, what are the three longs and two shorts if they can't keep it, but how to prevent this?
After thinking about it, I summed up three potentially dangerous aspects: one is an emergency, such as a car accident, a fall or something, the second is a sudden illness, such as a heart attack, cerebral hemorrhage and other rapid fatal sudden diseases, and the third is **, such as a thief robbery, a fugitive to avoid the police, and so on. Others, such as earthquakes, airplanes falling from the sky, meteorites and so on, cannot be prevented at all, which belongs to the category of "obeying the destiny of heaven" as Jingyi Lao Dao said. Now that we have figured out where the danger comes from, it is easy to say how to do it, and it can be summed up in four words: guard against it!
I thought of it, and I picked up a pen and paper and wrote a simple plan. Anyway, the graduation thesis has been handed in, and the rest is to wait for a few meetings to break up, and if what Jing Yi said is true, what kind of bird business does he care if he finishes it?
There are not many things in the dormitory, so I simply collected them and left directly.
When he returned home, he told his parents about the situation, but he didn't say it all, only that Jing Yishi counted the two of them as having a bloody disaster in the past year, and they had to take strict precautions, so he announced the Hu Ten Rules:
First, the second elder in the family is not allowed to use electricity by himself, and Hu Yang must use electricity by hand, and the distance from watching TV should be more than five meters.
2. The second elder in the family is not allowed to use gas, and it must be the same as above.
3. There should be no alcohol, chili peppers and other irritants in the home diet, and no smoking.
4. The sleeping time shall not be less than 9 p.m. every night.
Fifth, the second elder in the family is not allowed to go out of the house in rainy weather, and it is not allowed in the yard.
6. The second elder in the family shall not leave the courtyard gate at any time without permission.
7. No matter who visits, the second elder is not allowed to open the door without Hu Yang's permission.
8. The two elders in the family must walk slowly and slowly, and must not walk in large steps.
9. The two elders of the family are not allowed to be in two rooms at the same time.
10. The second elder in the family should shout as loudly as possible when they are unwell.
He hid some light and heavy weapons such as sticks, kitchen knives, and rebar essence behind the courtyard door, behind the door, and under the bed, and then went to his uncle's house to borrow a van, and went to the county seat to buy some first-aid equipment, medicines, fire extinguishers, fire axes and all the spare materials he could think of to go home.
A series of actions made Uncle Dabao very angry, he originally asked you to study and become an official, glorify your ancestors, and didn't want you to be an official and come to the family, so take care of your father and mother! Looking back, it was for his own good, and it was up to him. Moreover, what Hu Yang said is terrifying, people are old, they are not afraid of death, they are afraid that the whole body is missing arms and legs, half of the body is not successful, that is called life is better than death! In addition, the mother-in-law of the family has been breathing out of the same nostril with her son, and opposition may not be effective. It is unrealistic to seize power, it is better to simply be obedient, so as not to ask for hardship.
said to the outside world that the second elder in the family was not in good health, and he should take good care of it and cultivate quietly, so the courtyard door was closed for more than half a year. Every day, in addition to going out to buy vegetables, Hu Yang doesn't even go out by himself, and under strict guarding, even the rats and bedbugs at home are wiped out by Hu Yang. Nothing happened for more than half a year, but it was really the second elder who was raised for nothing, it was this kind of prison-like life that made people uncomfortable, even if the prisoners had a time to let go, but the two elders never even went out of the courtyard gate in half a year.
On this day, Uncle Dabao answered a phone call, and then he was not calm: "Hu Yang, come over to Lao Tzu." ”
Hu Yang ran to him: "Uncle Dabao, what do you command?"
"To be honest with Lao Tzu, did you pass the graduation exam?"
"It's a test!"
"Then why did your little uncle hear that you left early?"
"I left after the exam, but the next few meetings didn't start. ”
"Then why didn't you get a graduation certificate for everyone else?"
"I didn't get it. ”
"Go! Get it back for Lao Tzu! Even if Lao Tzu dies at night, you have to get the graduation certificate for Lao Tzu!"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'll go tomorrow!"
Hu Yang knew that there was no reason to talk about it, and his mother would not help him in this regard. For a long time, his studies have been above everything in this family, and there is no room for negotiation except for the implementation of Uncle Dabao's words, and sometimes Uncle Dabao is so fierce that even Hu Yang's mother is afraid.
The next day, after Hu Yang made a series of regulations for the second elder, he got on the bus to Anxi. After guarding it for so long, the second elder didn't even have a cold, so it shouldn't be okay for a day or two.
Who knows, before he entered the school gate, he received a call from a neighbor that the second elder had been in a car accident......
