Origin Chapter 9: dusty clues
After picking out these two books from a stack of old books, Wu Zhongyuan didn't immediately read them, he was hesitating whether to read them.
If these two books are helpful to him and his senior brother, Master taught them long ago when he was alive, and the reason why Master did not teach them before his death means that learning the contents of these two books is harmful to them both. At least Master thinks so.
But these two books should still be valuable. If they are all the aftertastes of feudal superstition, then the master will definitely burn them before his death, but the master did not do that, but hid them on the ceiling, This shows that the master himself is also contradictory. He feels that he should not teach them, but he is reluctant to burn it. He can only hide it in a hidden place. Whether he can find it or not depends on the will of God and the luck of the two.
Hesitating again and again, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the Kanyu Thirty-Six Laws.
Just wanted to open it, but hesitated again. Now is the era of science. These mysterious things are often associated with people and liars.
Hesitating and hesitating, but finally opened it up. Whether this thing is the wisdom of the ancients or the poison of superstition can only be judged after reading it. The great man once said that there is no right to speak without investigation. Take an objective look at it with a scientific perspective and a critical attitude.
The first page is a message, that is, what the author or the transcriber said to future generations. The message is written vertically, using traditional Chinese characters. What is written is 'Come empty-handed, go alone, good and evil will be rewarded eventually, borrowing must be repaid. ’
"This is fair, but a little pessimistic." Wu Zhongyuan said to himself.
The classmate who didn't sleep in the dormitory said casually, "Zhongyuan, what are you looking at?"
"The history of the development of ancient literature." Wu Zhongyuan casually perfunctory.
"You are about to go to the battlefield, are you sure you will pass the exam?" The classmates said going to the battlefield refers to the upcoming college entrance examination.
"I'm sure it will burn." Wu Zhongyuan turned to the second page again.
Seeing that he was absent-minded, the classmates ignored him, adjusted his glasses, and continued to read.
The second page is the table of contents, which is divided into three chapters: upper, middle, and lower. The names of the chapters surprise Wu Zhongyuan. The first chapter is about supporting the family, the middle chapter is about seeking wealth from danger, and the second chapter is about life and death of grace.
This is the first time Wu Zhongyuan has seen this kind of title. It stands to reason that mysterious things are often named very high, but these titles are very popular, unpleasant, and not aloof.
The book is not thick, with only a few dozen pages. It talks about the content and methods related to kanyu. The so-called kanyu does not only refer to feng shui, but also includes many contents such as stargazing, time selection, location selection, and house determination. I didn't have time to take a closer look. I looked at it in one glance and ten lines. I looked at it in a fog. I only knew that each page recorded a lot of jerky content of the same type.
In detail, the main body of the book has a total of 36 pages, the first chapter is twenty-seven, the middle chapter is six, and the second chapter is three.
After reading the whole book, Wu Zhongyuan finally understood why the author or transcriber named such a title. Many of these methods related to Kanyu were realized at the expense of his own life. The methods are mostly things that will be used on a daily basis, such as naming a child, looking at the feng shui of the house, which has little impact on oneself, helping others, earning a little money, and supporting the family.
The content recorded in the middle part is more dangerous. Once it is done, it is very likely to hurt oneself, but it is also because of the danger, but the effect is good. Helping the dignitaries and nobles will naturally get more money, so it is called Risk for wealth.
The second part is only three pages, and it records the essence of Kanyu. There are mysterious ways to prolong life and change the number of Qi. Correspondingly, the price to pay is also very high. Therefore, it is called Enyi's life and death, because doing this kind of thing is no longer for money, but often to repay the great kindness of others.
After reading the Thirty-Six Methods of Kanyu, Wu Zhongyuan did not remember the specific method of Kanyu. The most impressive thing was that people could not tell fortune-telling randomly, because fortune-telling was classified as divination, and divination in the thirty-six methods of Kanyu was the content of the middle chapter. It is a very serious and solemn matter. It doesn't matter if you calculate it wrong. If you calculate it right, it will reveal the secret. At least 19 percent of your life will be reduced. , at least nineteen days, the most in ninety-nine years, ninety-nine eighty-one, and the most serious one died at once.
It can be seen that the fortune-telling stalls on the street are all liars. They are really capable. Who would trade their nine-day lifespan for ten or twenty dollars?
After reading the whole book, you must come up with a summary and give the book a personality, but after thinking about it for a long time, it is difficult to judge whether this book is ancient wisdom or superstition. The reason is very simple. sex, unless you try it yourself.
It was already midnight, and he was the only one left in the dormitory who didn't sleep. After sleeping for a while earlier, Wu Zhongyuan was not sleepy, and he took the ghost painting talisman again.
The contents recorded in this book are even more outrageous. They are all methods of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. Drawing talismans is only one of the more common methods. There are also some bizarre methods. Some talismans and methods are mostly from folk accumulation, which is different from the practice of orthodox Taoist talismans, so they use ghosts to draw talismans from modesty, lest other orthodox Taoists encounter them and beat them to the eye.
In addition, the transcriber of this book and the transcriber of Kanyu Thirty-Six Methods should not be the same person, because the handwriting is different. Compared with Kanyu's Thirty-Six Methods, this book is less credible. Kanyu's Thirty-Six Methods can still be tried by himself. This one can't even be tried. Where are you going to find ghosts these days.
It was already after one o'clock in the second half of the night after reading the ghost painting talismans. Wu Zhongyuan re-bundled the books and put them under the bed. The college entrance examination was about to take place. I didn't have time to read them.
Waking up early the next day, everything was business as usual, the college entrance examination was just around the corner, and there were endless mock exam papers.
Wu Zhongyuan is still confident about the college entrance examination, but only if he can pass the admission score. Other subjects are good, but mathematics is not good. They say that interest is the best teacher. He has no interest in mathematics Interested, but mathematics is a must for both liberal arts and sciences.
Although he is poor, he has no subsidies from the school, and no charitable person to help him. This is not because the school does not have corresponding policies, nor is it that no one is willing to fund him, but Lin Qingming does not let him accept other people's help. Help, Lin Qingming always said that human debt is the most difficult thing to repay, and it is best not to ask people for things that can be handled by oneself.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, Lin Qingming called and told Wu Zhongyuan that he did not want to work in a mine in a neighboring county, and wanted to go back to Huang County to work. find him.
There has been no movement in the hospital for the past few days, which made Wu Zhongyuan relieved. He was most afraid of his own affairs being leaked out and being arrested by the relevant departments for observation and research.
The college entrance examination is approaching, and candidates are all facing enemies. Wu Zhongyuan is not very nervous. He cannot apply for the military and police academies. He has no interest in other schools, and colleges spend more than high school. , It takes four years to study for an undergraduate degree, it is better to study for a three-year junior college, and it can also slightly reduce the pressure of the senior brothers.
After the exam, all the students were nervous and excited. They gathered together to discuss in advance what university to apply for and what major to apply for, and imagined a beautiful university life. Wu Zhongyuan was very inactive in this regard. The reason is very simple. Everyone knows the exam. When you go to college, everything will be fine. Most people in the so-called college go to fall in love. Falling in love costs money. He has no spare money, and his genes are abnormal. Isn't it harmful to find a girlfriend? .
However, although he has no intention of falling in love, there are female classmates who like him, not because he is handsome. To be honest, he is not that kind of handsome boy, and his academic performance can only be considered acceptable, but there are still girls. His classmates liked him. As for the reason, he couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was because of the lack of boys in the liberal arts class.
I am about to leave school. The youthful movement of boys and girls has reached its peak, and the emotion of parting has evolved into emotional blindness. The usual graduation and leaving school are fantasized by the boys and girls who are just beginning to fall into the tragic life and death parting, outside the school In the small hotel, under the big tree on campus, in the dormitory, and in the classroom, there are blind instinctive impulses and shallow and cheap oaths everywhere.
Wu Zhongyuan received two love letters in one day, and a new mobile phone. The love writing was full of romance and touching, but after reading it, Wu Zhongyuan found that the two girls did not like him, he was not each other As described in the love letter, he is just a carrier of the emotional fantasy under the emotion of the other party.
The one who gave the cell phone was from the same town as him, and he was very handsome. The cell phone was packed in a big envelope. In addition to the cell phone, there was a note with only one sentence on it, 'I don't want to be with you. losing contact. ’
This confession was affectionate and direct enough, but Wu Zhongyuan still gave the phone back. The reason is very simple. This is not the first time that the female classmate has given a boy's phone, and he has seen this female classmate come to the school gate before. Cars of different men.
Not every beautiful face has a beautiful soul, and not every beautiful word has a beautiful truth.
Lin Qingming came. He came in a Mercedes-Benz sedan. He was well-dressed. Wu Zhongyuan almost didn't recognize him.
Lin Qingming came and went in a hurry, said a few words briefly, left a mobile phone and two thousand yuan and left.
The Mercedes-Benz sedan is naturally not Lin Qingming's. The reason why Lin Qingming can sit is because he is Zhao Dazhong's bodyguard. This Zhao Dazhong is a famous person who is engaged in real estate, the richest man in Huang County, well-known in the country, and has several companies. The company that operates the resort in Huangjia Village is one of his subsidiaries.
It's not hard to guess why Zhao Dazhong hired Lin Qingming as his bodyguard. The group of local ruffians brought by the flower shirts all had their legs broken, and the medical expenses were inevitable. This matter must be reported to Zhao Dazhong.
It is not difficult to guess why Lin Qingming is willing to be Zhao Dazhong's bodyguard. For the money, he will soon go to college. The money Lin Qingming earns in the mine is not enough to pay his tuition and living expenses.
Watching the car disappear, Wu Zhongyuan returned to the dormitory with a worried heart. When the master was alive, he always warned the two not to show their martial arts in front of others. Lin Qingming did this, which violated the master's warning, and Lin Qingming did it all for the sake of he.
After the college entrance examination, the students left the school one after another. Soon the dormitory was empty. He had nowhere to go. The school knew about his situation and temporarily let him live in the original dormitory.
The old house was still there before, and he can go back every holiday, but now the old house is gone, and he is really homeless.
On the first day of the holiday, he took the initiative to go to Huang Ping and told Huang Ping about Lin Qingming's situation. Huang Ping was surprised. Needless to say, Lin Qingming had not told her that he had come to the county town before.
Seeing that Huang Ping was in a low mood, Wu Zhongyuan had the intention to say something, but after hesitating he didn't say anything. What could he say to make her stop making futile efforts? Or should she be brave enough to persevere?
The vacation is very long. Wu Zhongyuan is reluctant to waste time. He wants to find a short-term job to make some money, but the temporary job is not easy to find.
Returning to the dormitory at night, with nothing to do, he took out the bundle of old books from under the bed and flipped through them at will. He was not interested in the scriptures, and he should not read more of those two books that were either ancient wisdom or superstition. In the end, I chose the medical experience left by Master. There are many real cases and many effective remedies. I will take a look at it, and I may use it in the future.
After reading two pages, Wu Zhongyuan discovered a detail. This medical experience was written by Master in his later years. Although there is no specific time or patient's name, it has the patient's age, gender and specific symptoms.
He nearly vomited blood and died when he was a child. It was his master who cured and adopted him. If there is no accident, there will be a record in this medical experience. As long as you find this record, you can know some of his circumstances at that time.
In addition, the strange corpse in the coffin was buried by the master himself. This person was probably still alive when he met the master, and had communicated with the master, otherwise the master would not be willing to give him his coffin, If you are lucky, maybe there will be records about him in the experience of practicing medicine.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan began to speed up his reading. When he turned to the fourth page, he found something. There are two front and back, an adult man and an eight-month-old baby. The symptoms are shortness of breath, suffocation and vomiting blood...
