Chapter 264: Don't Be a Bad Person
In the bustling section of Nanhai City, southern Xinjiang, there is a Xiang Bone Museum, Mr. Touch the Bone surnamed Lin, the name is Lin Youjia, he has passed the age of the sixtieth year, and his reputation is very great, the locals call him "God Hand", that is, as long as he touches it, he can bring the misfortune and fortune of the person who came to the bone, and it is said that it is the way, not bad at all.
At dusk that day, the sun was setting, and the night was approaching, a middle-aged man in black who looked like he was in his forties and blind in both eyes sang a duet with Mr. Lin Youjia.
The first person to notice this middle-aged blind man in black was Lin Youjia's adopted son, eighteen-year-old Jin Xiaoliu.
Jin Xiaoliu is a hard-working child who was picked up from the pile of dead people by the roadside by the "God Hand" Lin Youjia more than eight years ago.
At that time, the demon world invaded the earth, man-made disasters were serious, the southern Xinjiang of China, it was a great drought, locusts were rampant, hunger was everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living, when Lin Youjia picked up Jin Xiaoliu, he was already hungry to the bones, with more gas and less air intake, and he was dying, and he was about to burp when he saw it, and he also had a foul-smelling leprosy all over his body. Lin Youjia took pity on him, rescued him, took him home, sought medical treatment everywhere, saved his life, after the diagnosis and treatment of a miracle doctor, coupled with the careful conditioning and care of Mr. Lin Youjia, Jin Xiaoliu, who had been wandering in the ghost gate for a long time, came back to life.
When Lin Youjia was young, there were twists and turns in a relationship, the newlywed wife ran away from home for no reason, and since then, her whereabouts are unknown, she can't be found, she is physically and mentally exhausted, Lin Youjia is disheartened, and she has never married again, alone, and spent her time hard. After saving Jin Xiaoliu, he suddenly thought that he was lonely and old, and he was helpless, and no one gave him linen and filial piety, and he was old and old, so he thought about it again and again, and made a solemn decision to accept Jin Xiaoliu as his adopted son and apprentice to inherit his mantle.
Since then, Lin Youjia and Jin Xiaoliu, the father and son who are not related by blood, have begun to rely on each other. Lin Youjia has made a name for himself with his excellent skills, although he is not making money every day, and he is rich and rich, but his life is okay compared to others.
In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed, and Jin Xiaoliu, who was terminally ill back then, has grown up as a human being, but this son doesn't like to learn the phase bone technique, Lin Youjia is disappointed, and there is no way to take him, so he believes that he has nothing to do every day.
"Hmph, daring to show off your skills in front of my shop, it's tantamount to getting an axe in the class, I don't know what to do, watch the master make you ugly in front of you!" Jin Xiaoliu muttered in his mouth, ran forward, threw off his shoes numbly, stretched out a stinky foot, and said: "You give me a touch to see what my fate is?
Seeing that there was a guest, the middle-aged blind man hurriedly poked out two fingers and pinched Jin Xiaoliu's ankle, which seemed to be a dragonfly touching water, and the middle-aged blind man said a verse: "Although the beak of the finch is small, it can be eaten, but the food and clothing are not as good as the people." ”
Before the words fell, Jin Xiaoliu didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he spread his feet and ran to his own family's bone hall opposite.
When Jin Xiaoliu hurriedly broke into the door, he saw his adoptive father's "divine hand" Lin Youjia at a glance, touching the bones of a good-looking and well-dressed young talent.
This Xiucai, is a stranger, his name is Jia Yueting, the family situation is average, on the occasion of the scientific examination, he wants to enter the capital to catch the exam, passing through here, I heard people say, "God Hand" Lin Youjia to touch the bones, nine out of ten, therefore, he came to find the "God Hand" Lin Youjia to touch the bones, to see if he can get ahead on this trip, get people's wishes.
"God Hand" Lin Youjia carefully touched the cheekbones, general bones and sun horn bones of this foreigner's talented Jia Yueting, stroked his gray beard, nodded, and said with a smile: "Smart and clever must be determined, the future of the Toad Palace can be crowned, what a good character! Congratulations to Jia Gongzi, you will definitely be able to top three in high school when you go to the scientific examination this time." ”
"Is this true? Did you lie to me?" Jia Yueting was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Jia Gongzi, I won't tell you anything, the old man has been giving people bones for decades, and he has never been flattering, sloppy, deceiving people, and cheating people's money!
"Mr. Lin, please don't mind, there is no need to ask, Xiaosheng believes in you, this is ten taels of silver, as a reward, borrow your auspicious words, if Xiaosheng really gets high school in this scientific examination, he will definitely come to thank you!"
"Father-in-law, in front of our shop, there was a blind man, and he used two fingers to find out that I was a finch bone, exactly the same as you always touched!" The two were talking, and the cold Jin Xiaoliu hurriedly interjected.
Hearing this, "Divine Hand Lin" turned pale and glared at his righteous son Jin Xiaoliu angrily.
Jin Xiaoliu was speechless and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Jia Yueting, a young scholar, felt curious, hurriedly put down his remuneration and got up, strode out of the door, and went straight to the middle-aged blind man opposite.
"God Hand" Lin Youjia and Yizi Jin Xiaoliu followed closely behind, and also went out, standing in front of the bone pavilion, looking at the opposite side.
I saw scholar Jia Yueting bend down, pick up a small pebble, hand it to the middle-aged blind man, and then stretched out his wrist.
The middle-aged blind man took the stone, threw it on the table casually, and then poked out the index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and touched Jia Yueting's body.
"Master Jia, what did he say?" "Divine Hand" Lin Youjia quickly caught up with the angry scholar Jia Yueting, and arched his hand and asked.
Scholar Jia Yueting was still angry, and replied scoldingly: "This blind man, he actually said that I had a bloody disaster tonight, let me go home quickly, don't go to the capital to join in the fun, and what else to say, even if I can get away with tonight's death, the scientific expedition will fall to Sun Mountain." Mr. Lin, listen, is he talking about human language?"
"God Hand" Lin Youjia thought about it a little, patted the scholar Jia Yueting on the shoulder, and persuaded him to extinguish the fire, under a touch, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia put his heart down, this scholar Jia Yueting is indeed the appearance of a leopard bone, in this life, although he is lavish, he can't save much money, but his official fortune is prosperous and prosperous. That middle-aged blind man, who couldn't even touch or distinguish silver or stones, could he touch his bones and kill his life? Obviously, he was just a charlatan who was swaggering and deceiving. As soon as he thought of this, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia hurriedly waved at his righteous son Jin Xiaoliu, and muttered in his ear.
Jin Xiaoliu was so happy that he danced and ran away.
After a while, Jin Xiaoliu stood in front of the middle-aged blind man's hexagram booth again, he pinched his hoarse voice and asked him to give him a bone.
The middle-aged blind man took his wrist, touched it for a moment, and said coldly: "The palace of life is dark, the officials and killings are mixed, and the ferocity is unpredictable. ”
When Jin Xiaoliu heard this, he was angry, and once again smashed the middle-aged blind man's hexagram stall, and yelled: "Where did you come from, you can really talk nonsense! Just now, you praised me for not being as good as food and clothing, why? In the blink of an eye, I became a catastrophe? Damn, hurry up and get out, I will be upset when I see you!"
In the early morning of the next day, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia opened the door of his shop, and at a glance he saw that the middle-aged blind man not only did not roll, but also erected a hexagram on the opposite side early.
Coincidentally, an old woman accompanied her pregnant daughter-in-law to pass by, wanting the blind man to count whether she was a grandson or a granddaughter.
Selling lime can't see noodles, as the saying goes: peers are enemies, and they must be driven away. "God Hand" Lin Youjia walked over quickly, and quickly grabbed the pregnant woman's left wrist before the middle-aged blind man could make a move.
The middle-aged blind man had to hold the pregnant woman's right wrist and touch it.
The bone phase shows that the pregnant woman is pregnant with a male baby, and the six yin and the sun are rising, and she is rich and noble.
So, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia did not hesitate to take the lead and said: "Congratulations, it's a boy, and he will become a great weapon in the future." ”
The old woman and the pregnant woman were about to thank them, but the middle-aged blind man also opened his mouth, he said: "Butterflies fly together, and they should be pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus." However, life is a rich life, but within a hundred steps, blood will appear. ”
"Since it's a rich life, why is there blood? Old sister-in-law, don't listen to him talking nonsense there. "Divine Hand" Lin Youjia snorted coldly and said.
The old woman "spit" at the blind man, hugged her daughter-in-law, and walked away cautiously.
No one expected that a carriage would come out of the mouth of a hidden alley and crash straight into the pregnant woman.
Oops, it's a startled horse, screaming with its head held high, trampling on all four hooves, once it steps on a pregnant woman, the consequences are unimaginable!
Accidentally, the pregnant woman was so frightened on the spot that her face changed greatly, and in panic and dodge, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her clothes and fell to the ground, bleeding from her body.
This scene made the "god hand" Lin Youjia stunned, it was really a bloody disaster! Fortunately, at the critical moment, the coachman pulled the horse. On the pregnant side, a boy and a girl were born on the street.
There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, so in this way, this blind man does have two hits! Just when the "God Hand" Lin Youjia was ashamed, a team of officials rushed over like wolves and tigers.
The middle-aged blind man said, "Mr. Lin, how about the two of us make a bet?"
"God Hand" Lin Youjia hurriedly asked, "What are you going to bet on?"
The middle-aged blind man seemed to be able to see it, and he said, "It's an official who has just passed, right?
"God Hand" Lin Youjia asked, "Hey, what kind of gambling method?"
The middle-aged blind man raised his face and said, "If you lose, please close the Xianggu Pavilion and leave Nanhai City as soon as possible." ”
"Divine Hand" Lin Youjia snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, "What if you lose?"
The middle-aged blind man was very confident and said with absolute certainty: "You are nine out of ten, I am ten accurate, I will not lose, you please first." ”
"I bet they're going to arrest people. "Divine hand," Lin Youjia said.
"I also expected them to go after the murderer. The middle-aged blind man paused and added, "The murderer that the government wants to arrest is actually your righteous son, Jin Xiaoliu." In addition, I will give you a hexagram for free, and you will be in great trouble at the beginning of tonight!"
"God Hand" Lin Youjia trembled when he heard this, and stood on the spot, but soon, he came back to his senses, threw down a sentence of "a bunch of nonsense", and returned to his own bone hall angrily.
The technique of phase bones is unfathomable, one bone and one section, all of which are mysterious.
In the Book of Heaven written by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, who is regarded as a high-level fairy by Taoism, the bones of the common people in the world are divided into 12 categories: lin bones, lion bones, leopard bones, deer bones, bear bones, cat bones, bird bones, peng bones, whale bones, fish bones, turtle bones and eagle bones. For example, Lin Youjia's righteous son Jin Xiaoliu is a bird's life, that is, his life is like a sparrow, although he can eat enough, it will be difficult to become a big weapon in the end;
Another example is the "God Hand" Lin Youjia himself, that year, he was only twelve years old, and suddenly there was a plague outbreak in his hometown, his parents were both infected with the virus and died, and he was so sick that he only had one breath left. Later, Tong Qing passed on his skills in several similar bones, and he was diligent and studious, and slowly became famous. His mentor Tong Qing once said that he was a lion bone life: "This bone was born without relying on his ancestors, and he was completely independent in starting a family and starting a business; ”
In fact, after living for most of his life, Lin Youjia relied on his own ability to eat, earned a lot of family business, and lived a comfortable and stable life in his later years, how could there be a catastrophe?
After pondering for a long time, Lin Youjia, the "god hand", suddenly realized that today, since the opening of the Xianggu Pavilion to the present, Jin Xiaoliu, the righteous son, has never shown up.
Lin Youjia was anxious until it was dark, and finally saw Yizi Jin Xiaoliu sneaking into the house with a probe in his head.
"Bastard boy, I haven't seen anyone all day, where have you gone?" "God Hand" Lin Youjia asked with a straight face.
When Jin Liuzi heard this, he suddenly took out a dagger that was bright and dangling, and pressed it against the neck of his father-in-law's "divine hand" Lin Youjia, and said viciously: "Old fellow, tell you, I killed someone, it is the talented Jia Yueting from the countryside who came to find you yesterday, get me the silver, I want to leave this ghost place!"
It turned out that yesterday's foreigner's talent Jia Yueting came to meet each other, and he was generous and generous, so Jin Xiaoliu concluded that he must be a rich son of a rich family, so he started to steal. At midnight, he sneakily touched the inn where the scholar was staying, pried the window in, the movement was too loud, and woke up the talented Jia Yueting from his sleep, Jia Yueting turned over and got out of bed, hugged Jin Xiaoliu tightly, and shouted "catch the thief". Jin Xiaoliu panicked, according to his heart, there were two knives, Jia Yueting screamed miserably, and fell in a pool of blood.
Jin Xiaoliu trembled and made up two more knives at Jia Yueting, a talented talent who was lying on the ground and twitching, and saw that he was motionless, so he was relieved and boldly washed and stole the silver taels he was carrying, and then fled. Unexpectedly, when he was escaping, he heard Xiucai Jia Yueting call "catch the thief" , Hurriedly got up to check the innkeeper Yu Wenle and the proprietress Tian Jingyi and his wife collided with one, the three of them fought, Jin Xiaoliu, who was frustrated, committed murder again, and killed the innkeeper Yu Wenle and the proprietress Tian Jingyi, who was patrolling the night, heard the movement, so he bent his waist and hid in the dark, carefully observed the murderer's posture, and actually recognized it, and immediately quietly crawled forward to report to the official, and when he heard the report, the government dispatched officers and soldiers overnight to arrest the murderer Jin Xiaoliu.
Jin Xiaoliu escaped the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, changed his appearance with the disguise technique, sneaked home, and prepared to find the "god hand" Lin Youjia from his father-in-law to grab a sum of money, and then flew away.
Hearing this, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia trembled with anger, and scolded: "Jin Xiaoliu, you ungrateful brute, I think back then, if I hadn't pitied you, rescued you from the pile of dead, asked for medical treatment for you, and took good care of you, you would have died of illness and starvation!
"I've already killed three people left and right, and I'm in a human life lawsuit, and I'm not missing you. Old fellow, then I'll kill you and find the silver myself!" Jin Xiaoliu bit his teeth, his heart was crossed, and he raised his butcher knife, ready to poison his benefactor and father-in-law.
"God Hand" Lin Youjia closed his eyes, and a line of muddy old tears welled up out of the corners of his eyes.
At this moment, the middle-aged blind man suddenly appeared in front of the "God Hand" Lin Youjia and took a knife for him. The dagger had already pierced his body, and it was unbelievable that the middle-aged blind man actually said with a smile: "How about it? ”
"You...... You...... Who are you, a human or a ghost?" Jin Xiaoliu asked in a trembling voice.
The middle-aged blind man, without squeaking, stared at the hilt of the knife with his hollow eye sockets. In the blink of an eye, the knife seemed to be pulled out by a pair of invisible hands, and the tip of the knife turned in the air and aimed at Jin Xiaoliu's chest.
Jin Xiaoliu was so frightened that he escaped from the Xianggu Pavilion with a lot of urine. And the knife, however, strangely followed, chasing all the way over.
Early the next morning, a strange story soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Nanhai City - the murder of Jia Yueting, the foreigner Xiucai, Yu Wenle, the innkeeper Yu Wenle, and the proprietress Tian Jingyi, the murderer Jin Xiaoliu, were punished by heaven, and were chased by a dagger and had nowhere to escape, until he rushed into the official mansion in a panic and was captured, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Because Jin Liuzi is the righteous son of the "God Hand" Lin Youjia, the official wants to take the opportunity to knock the "God Hand" Lin Youjia hard. However, when they arrived at the Xianggu Pavilion, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia had already left Nanhai City with his belongings, east, west, north and south, and his whereabouts were unknown.
That night, Lin Youjia, the "god hand" who escaped death, was grateful, and grabbed the wrist of the middle-aged blind man and thanked him repeatedly. Suddenly, the "God Hand" Lin Youjia suddenly felt a trace of familiarity, and couldn't help but cry like rain, and blurted out an exclamation: "Master, is it your old man?"
"Now that you have recognized it, the master will see you with your true face, Lin Youjia apprentice, when I said goodbye, in a blink of an eye, half a century has passed, you are already old, the master inadvertently saw you, calculated that you had a disaster, hurriedly rushed over, pretending to be a blind bone master, deliberately robbing your job, leading the snake out of the hole, in vain, you are so confused, the Jin Xiaoliu you saved at the beginning, he is not a human being, but a terrible ghost, this ghost, was sent by the female devil Yu Die'er, came to the world to hibernate, ready to harm the common people, because the time was not ripe, he did not dare to act rashly, this time, if it was not for the master's clever strategy, forcing him to reveal his true form, how can he easily expose his greed? In the dark, there is his own providence! Disciple, now, Jin Xiaoliu has fallen into the legal net, and it is impossible to escape, but the female demon Yu Die'er will definitely not give up, and vow to take revenge, for your safety, you must leave Nanhai City overnight, go with your teacher, go to a safe place, and start a new life. As the saying goes, it is difficult to meet each other, it is even more difficult to meet each other, good and evil are only in one thought, people's goodness, most of the time is a good thing, however, very rarely, it will bring disaster to yourself, for example, you saved a terrible ghost Jin Xiaoliu who should not be saved this time, and raised him, what did you get? Grace will take revenge, eat inside and outside, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, kill people and rob money, invite self-inflicted trouble, eat a trench, grow a wisdom, change places, and spend your life well! You must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of guarding against others! Kindness is good, but it doesn't mean that you should be a good person casually, remember!
"What the master teaches is that the apprentice learns the lesson, remember the teaching, master, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
