I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 294: Ashamed of Jiangdong elders
Qilipu is a very typical local village.
The whole village, all houses are lined up side by side.
Most houses are very old courtyards.
In the courtyard, the old people take care of the flowers and plants leisurely.
The cats and dogs kept by the old people are in the yard, basking in the sun.
Ling walked past these yards with her pet in her arms.
The old people looked up at him, with doubts in their eyes.
"Whose child is that?" They thought to themselves, but few people really cared.
A long time ago, the rural villages in the federal empire had become nursing homes.
When I was young, I went to work in the city. After retirement, I returned to my hometown in the countryside to grow flowers and grass. I played cards and fished with my old friends when I was free. It was fun.
As for the land?
has long been leased to those fruit companies and vegetable companies.
Therefore, in the traditional sense, rural society, like the rural society two or three hundred years ago, has long since collapsed.
, they watched Lingping walk to the door of an old yard in the village, and skillfully took out the key to open the door.
The old people suddenly realized.
"The child of the spirit family..."
They whispered.
The old people remembered the legends of the past. They were all things they heard when they were young.
At that time, the elders always taught them: "Don't go to that yard to play, know?"
"The yard of the Ling family, don't go to the yard if you have nothing to do..."
As for the reason, there are different opinions.
Some people say that the ancestors of the spirit family raised monsters and could eat people.
Some people also say that the spiritual family knows spells, which is the kind that offends him. Then he fetches a basin of water in his yard at night, then he mutters words, slaps him in the basin, and then you get sick Up...
Some people say that the spirit family themselves are monsters.
Because someone once saw with their own eyes, a woman of the spirit family was dressing up on the window sill, took a **** human skin off her face, put it on the table, took the eyebrow pencil to draw her eyebrows, and then glued it back .
Anyway, Lingjia is a taboo in this village.
Except for a few people who are close to the spirit house, almost no one dares to approach.
The old people looked at the young man wearing glasses and hugging the kitten.
was thinking of the legends I had heard when I was young.
At this time, a child, holding a toy, rushed out of the house excitedly: "Grandpa...Grandpa..."
"Look at my invincible speed car..."
"Toot..."
The old man immediately turned around and looked at his grandchildren with a smile: "It's amazing..."
The little guy was very curious. He looked at the place where his grandfather just looked, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Grandpa...Didn’t you say that the yard is very dangerous and there are monsters, so we don’t want to play?"
"How dare he go?"
The old man smiled and touched his grandson's head: "He... is the person of the spiritual family..."
, the little guy looked at the stranger who was opening the door in a clumsy manner.
An incredibly cute kitten attracted his attention immediately.
"His cat is so beautiful!"
The old man noticed the little cat squatting at the young man’s feet.
Every hair is shining in the sun, as if there are colorful lights surrounding it.
Little cat, very spiritual.
Those cat eyes, even in the sun, are as beautiful as gems.
The old man was stunned...
The legends of my childhood have come to my heart again and again.
"The spirit family raises monsters..."
"They can spell..."
"The spirit family are monsters themselves!"
He quickly grabbed his grandson: "My dear grandson, don't look, don't look..."
"Go home with Grandpa to watch the cartoon..."
This kind of thing, I would rather believe it if there is something or not!
No one will risk their offspring.
………………………………
Ling opened the gate of the yard safely and walked in with his pet.
This is a typical rural courtyard.
The lawn in the yard is clean and free of weeds.
In the middle of the yard, there is a well, a very old one.
Ling walked over safely, opened the manhole cover, and looked at the well water inside. It was clear and very clean.
Next to is a pavilion.
He remembered that every time he came back when he was a child, he would sit in that gazebo at night and look at the sky and count the stars.
That was one of his few hobbies when he was a kid.
As a person who is extremely insensitive to mathematics, he can't even imagine having this hobby.
sat on the clean railing of the pavilion, he looked at the gate of the ancestral house.
The brass-colored wooden door is tightly locked.
He walked over and opened the door. There were a lot of God's master cards in the lobby, densely packed.
This is also the purpose of most rural ancestral houses now-to worship ancestors!
Ling Ping An is an atheist.
But like most people, they still respect their ancestors.
So, he went forward, picked up a lighter on the altar table, and took out the incense candles from the altar table, inserted them into the incense burner, and lit them one by one.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the divine master cards on it.
These **** cards are all his direct ancestors.
From the first generation to his parents, it has run through the Guangnan Ling family for more than two hundred years, almost nine generations.
The plaque of the first ancestor is enshrined in the center.
Then the descendants of each generation are sorted from generation to generation in a special way.
The father is on the left and the son is on the right.
This is Zhaomu sort!
When I was a child, Lingping didn’t understand, I just found this sort of order very interesting.
But when he grows up, he knows that this is a very old Zhaomu system.
This sorting method keeps father and son in different columns, while grandparents are always in the same column.
can only be used by the emperor before.
But now...
Whoever likes to use it...
Looking at these divine master cards that were wiped clean, Lingping bowed gently, and then said: "My ancestors shouldn't blame me for not coming back to worship for a long time..."
He poured a glass of wine into the cups on the altar table.
then continued: "I don't want to come back to see the ancestors...but...lazy..."
In front of his ancestors, he was very honest.
Although he knows, death will disappear.
But the traditional influence is still very powerful.
The materialists only oppose feudal superstition, and respect traditional morals and values.
He took this glass of wine and poured it on the ground, apologizing to his ancestors.
Suddenly, his eyes saw something under the altar.
He squatted down, turned his head to the side, and looked over and found that it was a card that was stuck on the altar table.
and the card he found in the family tree in the cabinet last time, seem to be the same material.
Ling reached out his hand peacefully and curiously, and gently lifted it, and the card fell into his hand.
He picked it up and blew the dust off the card.
Then, he saw lines of text written with ink pen.
Looking at these words, Lingping scratched his head: "Is this left by my parents?"
"But why is it so strange?"
Because, this card is still an article of Tao Te Ching.
Chapter 14 of the Tao Te Ching.
"If you don’t see it, it’s called Yi; if you hear it, it’s called Xi; if you don’t know it, it’s called Wei..."
The article copied on this card this time is even more mysterious than last time.
As a liberal arts student, Lingping certainly knows that the fourteenth chapter of the Tao Te Ching is a thorough philosophical article.
To put it simply, this is a philosophical article that guides people to understand the universe and nature, so as to get closer to the universe and nature.
roughly means that the universe is indescribable and unrecognizable. then what should we do? Follow its laws and adapt according to its operation.
just...
Lingping doesn’t understand why my parents or that ancestor put a card like this under the altar table and in the genealogy.
"There must be something I want to tell future generations..." Lingping thought, holding the card in his hand.
but......
What do they want to say?
ask future generations to read the Tao Te Ching?
Still want to use Tao Te Ching to express what metaphor?
Ling scratched his head peacefully, not quite understanding.
He played with the card in his hand, thought about it, and put it back.
turned around, he looked at the well-behaved pet that had been behind him.
This little guy has become very well-behaved since he entered the ancestral house.
Ling picked it up safely, rubbed its head, and said: "Let’s go, let’s go pick strawberries..."
When I came to the country, Lingping loves to pick strawberries.
is not only because it is cheap, but also because it can be eaten for nothing!
The country’s rule is that you can pick strawberries to taste.
can eat as much as possible!
Especially for local farmers like Lingping, even the price is very good.
Other people pick it, and it may cost thirty, forty, or even fifty per catty.
But if you are safe, a few dollars a catty.
This is the welfare of farmers.
Because the land of those orchards is the ancestral land of local villagers.
Among them, many of them are the ancestors of the spiritual family!
is now just rented to a fruit company to grow it.
But the property rights are still under the name of Lingping.
There are still tens of thousands of yuan in rent every year!
But for this money, the spirit family has ancestral training, so I have to donate it all.
Holding the kitten, Ling walked out the door safely, hiding it.
Before I walked through the gate of the yard, I ran into an old man in his fifties.
Ling looked at him peacefully, and immediately greeted with a smile: "Uncle Wang..."
The other party raised his head and saw Ling Ping An, he immediately laughed, and couldn't help but bend down: "The little boy is back..."
Ling Ping'an immediately waved his hand: "Uncle Wang...I can't make it..."
said, he helped the old man up.
, this old man is a distant relative who helped Lingping look after and take care of this ancestral house.
said he was a distant relative, but in fact, he didn't touch him very much.
According to Lingping’s parents, about two hundred years ago, Uncle Wang had a daughter who was a concubine for the ancestors of the Ling family.
At that time, it was the Gaojong period.
Women are not liberated, and men and women are not equal.
was legal at the time to take a concubine.
In the later period of Gaozong's rule, with the implementation of the Women and Children's Rights Protection Act, the chaff of the old era was swept into the garbage dump of history.
Just, the garbage dump belongs to the garbage dump.
Some things can survive even if they fall into the cesspool.
Like now, bigamy is clearly prohibited by law.
But many girls still like to work as outside rooms for the rich.
No way, money, it's so fragrant!
In the old days, there was still such a mess of master and servant.
Uncle Wang’s family, long ago, was a subordinate of the spiritual family, and because of this, they dedicated a daughter to the spiritual family ancestor as a concubine (at the time, this was a very glorious thing!).
Two hundred years ago, his family still keeps the traditions of the past.
What is the little boy at every turn, the master...
This is also the reason that Lingping doesn't want to go back to Qilipu.
Here, in addition to Uncle Wang's house, there are a few more, all of whom were servants or old ministries of the Ling family.
He is a young man in the new era.
The concept of equality is very important!
I really don’t like it very much. I was called ‘little boy’ or ‘young master’.
Especially if the other party is an elder!
But the old man smiled and said: "Little boy, what makes...makes..."
The spirit family is very special, especially the little son.
This is a secret.
The secret that can’t be told!
"Little son, are you coming back to live this time?" the old man asked.
"I can't live anymore..." Ling'an hurriedly waved his hand. If you really want to spend the night here, Ling'an knows that the night will be very lively.
A lot of people will come to see you.
Except for the Wang family and Zhang family in this village.
and the Hu's and Lu's in the mountain next door, they will also come.
"That's right..." Lingping asked, "Uncle Wang, where is Uncle Zhang?"
"Lao Zhang went to the vineyard early today to pick you grapes..." The old man said with a smile.
Ling was safe, but I could only sigh.
"I said it, don't have to be so troublesome..." Lingping shook his head.
The affection of the folks really moved him.
Unfortunately, he has nothing to repay these simple folks.
Reading, I was lonely.
opened a bookstore, and opened a bleak!
I am not even satisfied with writing a book...
is the level of the game, not bad!
but he doesn’t go professional...
So, I am ashamed! Every time I come back, I feel ashamed of Jiang Dong's father!
This is why he always dreams of becoming a federal book giant or the sixth white of the Central Plains.
was just using those two excuses that he didn't believe in himself to deceive and comfort himself.
So ~IndoMTL.com~ In front of the old man, the peace of mind is a bit like sitting on pins and needles.
He hurriedly found an excuse: "Uncle Wang, I won't chat with you..."
"I have to go to the field and pick some strawberries to eat..."
said, he hugged his cat and left in a hurry.
The old man is behind him, watching the spirit go safely away with a slight lean.
"Little Master..." The old man looked at the Lingping figure, and said softly: "When...can lead us back to our ancestors?"
has been two hundred years.
The old place of ancestors, when can I go back?
Fox Death Shouqiu, on behalf of Mayi Feng.
For two hundred years, he and the souls of his ancestors have dreamed of returning to their hometown.
And, all this hope falls on this little master.
because he is the only one who can lead the tribe back to his hometown.
turned around, the old man saw a figure not far away.
The man came over.
is a gray-haired old woman.
"The little master just left..." the old man said.
The old woman nodded, she knew, she felt it when the little master came back.
"The cat brought back by the little master..." The old woman said, "It's very unusual!"
The old man nodded: "I know..."
