Chapter 43: Brother and Sister
Zhou Cheng looked at the beaded bracelet handed over by Zhou Jia, and his heart was extremely complicated.
Zhou Cheng never thought that Zhou Jia would really send Liuzhu back one day, in Zhou Cheng's opinion, no matter how precious things are given to his sister, the value of Liuzhu itself is secondary, and the important Liuzhu can ensure the safety of Zhou Jia's life. never thought that Zhou Jia would send the beads back.
The reason turned out to be just too precious, and I was uneasy to accept it.
Perhaps Zhou Jia's bigger reason is that he is afraid that Zhou Cheng has a different purpose!
Zhou Cheng was very happy that his sister could resist the temptation, but it did not mean that Zhou Cheng hoped that his sister would refuse this string of beads. But the reason for this is that the bearing cannot be said.
Zhou Cheng didn't take the beads handed over by Zhou Jia, but sighed and said: "Your eight-character canopy reunion, the seal of the Great Luck Owl, the owner of the Yichou Tomb, the yin qi is too heavy, the liver fire has been weak since childhood, and the sleep is not stable, and it is easy to encounter some unclean things." This string of flowing beads has the blessing of the high way, which can ward off a hundred ghosts and prevent all evils from inviolating. Now that your parents are older, you often have to walk at night to school, this string of beads can keep righteousness and ward off evil, warm and upright, and save you from encountering some unclean things. As a daughter, you don't want your parents to worry about you!
"Ahh
"Also, why do you know my affairs so well?" Zhou Jia resolutely pushed the beaded bracelet back again, and asked with some vigilance. It's not that I don't believe Zhou Cheng's criticism, it's really easy to encounter some dirty things when I arrived at Zhou Jia since I was a child, and I have been shocked and suppressed several times. And Zhou's mother also specially took Zhou Jia to ask someone to approve the birthday in detail, which was exactly the same as Zhou Cheng's words, for this matter, Zhou's mother didn't know how much money she had donated.
Zhou Cheng was a little dumbfounded, of course he knew his sister's eight characters, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while, and only after being silent for a while did he say: "Heaven determines cause and effect, and the Tao is fated." This thing doesn't do much to me, but it's more useful to you. Let me accumulate merit for myself! Heaven will not take it, but will be blamed for it. I don't mean anything else!"
Zhou Jia shook his head, obviously not persuaded by Zhou Cheng's somewhat pale explanation, but said more firmly: "If you refuse to tell the real reason, I don't dare to ask for such a valuable thing, and I can't ask for it!" After Zhou Jia finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Cheng with blazing eyes, and he didn't seem to compromise at all.
"Even if I tell you, you are in opposition to Tai Sui this year, and you are also in the five elements of this year's hit, and the eight characters are unfavorable, and if you are not careful, you will have the worry of colliding, and you will be injured if you don't die. Don't you want it either?" Zhou Cheng obviously said with a rise in anger in his heart.
If it could be explained, Zhou Cheng would have explained it a long time ago. It's just that Zhou Cheng can't say that he is bitter, and he is not willing to deceive his biological sister. But Zhou Jia is stubborn like this, and he can not make Zhou Cheng angry. Daddy and mother are old, Zhou Cheng is limited by himself, and he obviously can't go back, if Zhou Jia has another accident, how can the second elder still live?
Zhou Cheng's sudden temper frightened Zhou Jia, and he didn't understand where Zhou Cheng's anger came from. For a while, the momentum was obviously weaker, but he still bit his lip stubbornly, not because he refused to ask for the flowing bead bracelet again.
In fact, not only Zhou Jia was startled, but Zhou Cheng himself was also frightened by his sudden liver fire.
This is not a good sign, and the state of mind of the cultivator is peaceful, and the five things are smooth. Now that the liver fire suddenly rises, it shows that Zhou Cheng's mood is a big problem.
But Zhou Cheng has been practicing for more than ten years, and the liver fire comes and goes quickly. It's just that he didn't understand why he was suddenly so out of control, and Zhou Cheng didn't dare to entangle with Zhou Jia here.
But it is true that the beads must never be recovered. For himself, for Zhoujia, and for his parents and relatives.
"A string of beads, no matter how valuable it is, means nothing to me. No matter why you think so much, at least I won't hurt you. I will naturally say what I can say, what if I can't say it, you just fight for your own disadvantage?" Zhou Cheng sighed a little helplessly.
"Don't think too much, just put on a fun-bought ordinary bracelet on the local stall! If I have a chance in the future, I will tell you!" At this moment, Zhou Cheng felt uncomfortable, picked up the flowing beads on the table and pinched them in his hands, and after turning around thoughtfully, as soon as his hands were released, the flowing beads disappeared from Zhou Cheng's hands, and then instantly appeared on Zhou Jia's wrist.
This is the first time that Zhou Cheng took the initiative to reveal his Taoism in front of Zhou Jia, which is nothing more than telling Zhou Jia that he is not an ordinary person. Those treasures that are priceless in the eyes of others are nothing in Zhou Cheng's eyes, and Zhou Jia doesn't need to have the slightest anxiety about this.
As for Zhou Jia's other problems, Zhou Cheng didn't want to take care of it, and he couldn't take care of it.
Zhou Jia was a little dumbfounded, if Zhou Jia could be regarded as a movie or a trick like magic tricks after watching the online video earlier, then how to explain the scene he saw in front of him.
Zhou Jia wanted to take off the bead bracelet several times, but found that the bead bracelet seemed to have taken root on his wrist at this moment, and he couldn't take it off.
"Be obedient, don't move!" Zhou Cheng looked at where Zhou Jia was picking the beads again, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he immediately stopped angrily, but there was too little anger in the words, and there was more helplessness.
Just like when she was a child, Zhou Jia was not a good coax when she was a child. Many times, this is the sentence when Zhou Cheng holds Zhou Jia helplessly but has to take care of it.
Same tone, same content.
Zhou Cheng was a little dumbfounded, and Zhou Jia was also stunned for an instant.
Time has passed for a long time, more than ten years have passed in a hurry, Zhou Jia was still young at that time, and he didn't remember too much about his brother, and even his brother's appearance became very vague and blurry, and it can even be said that he can't remember clearly.
But Zhou Cheng's habitual rebuke seemed to open the door to memory, and many things that he thought he had forgotten seemed to emerge like a flood.
The appearance of his brother when he was a child, and the tone in which his brother talked to him when he was a child, all coincided with Zhou Cheng at this moment.
Even from the beginning, Zhou Jia had some doubts in his heart, but after all, his brother had been dead for so many years. Back then, he saw his brother's body with his own eyes, and then personally sent his brother "up the mountain". Every year during Qingming, Mom and Dad have to take themselves to that grave to see their brother's.
In fact, Zhou Jia didn't have much hope. Even if Zhou Cheng suddenly appeared that day, helped him beat a "scoundrel", and gave himself a string of bracelets, he just felt that the person looked a little like his brother.
Until he heard Zhou Cheng admit that his name was "Zhou Cheng", this moment made Zhou Jia's heart turn a monstrous wave. It doesn't matter if it looks like it at all, but it's not a little strange about what you do. But even the name is exactly the same, it's too much of a coincidence.
So Zhou Jia will leave her best friend behind, and she will suddenly run back and reluctantly want to know an answer to "why is the other party so unusual to him".
Unexpectedly, Zhou Cheng's unintentional reprimand inadvertently opened the valve in Zhou Jia's memory.
Things are very weird and ridiculous, but Zhou Jia told himself with this extremely keen intuition - the person in front of him is his own brother who has been dead for more than ten years.
"Brother!" Zhou Jia shouted half in surprise and half in disbelief.
A familiar and long-ago call made Zhou Cheng feel as if he had been suddenly cast a immobilization spell at this moment, and the person began to tremble uncontrollably. I had to turn around immediately, never daring to look at my sister again.
Zhou Cheng needs to be calm and think. More need to choose...
I haven't heard this call in more than a decade. You really don't want to go home that week, you really don't want to meet your parents and relatives?
Subconsciously doing so much, intentionally or unintentionally leaving so many flaws, is nothing more than trying to give yourself a reason to go home.
At this moment, what kind of cultivation becomes an immortal, what kind of immortality, what is it in Zhou Cheng's eyes?
In the final analysis, Zhou Cheng may envy the legendary immortals on TV. But I really don't have much of a firm heart for the Tao. If you will embark on the path of cultivation, it is nothing more than a mistake and a combination of chance. It's not that he worked so hard and tried to get it.
The Tao is uncertain, and to the left is a denial, continuing his path of immortality. To the right is an affirmation, back to your own family fun.
The road to immortality is far away, empty and lonely.
Family is short, but real and content.
Where to go? Zhou Cheng almost didn't dare to turn around at this moment.
