Chapter 10: Heavy Mourning
The five elements are also divided into yin and yang, and everything involved is in the "Five Elements". After Liu Laodao left, I was free for a few days, and after I calmed down, I chose the Water Jue among the Five Elements.
My choice of Shui Jue is inseparable from what happened at home. Another point is that during this year, as long as Liu Laodao was not in Yizhuang, I would hear the girl's voice in the middle of the night, but no one would be seen every time.
Later, even during the day, I could feel her following behind me, blowing on my neck playfully.
At first, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to sleep for several days. When I told Mr. Liu, he either rolled his eyes or scolded me for being suspicious. Later, I realized that she had no ill intentions, and gradually I became less scared. I even gave her a name,
Can't see.
It just so happens that water and fire in the Five Elements are impermanent and invisible. As long as I can cast the Five Elements Water Talisman, I can make it manifest.
The things in "Five Elements" can be understood by rote memorization and a little understanding. The "Five Elements Secret Technique" is different. Even a genius cannot master it in one or two years.
But I was afraid that before I could figure out the cause of my mother's death, I would end up like Li Ergou, so I was very serious. If I couldn't draw the talisman in one go, I would draw it all day long, over and over again.
Being immersed in the Five Elements Secret Technique, time flew by very quickly. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, but no one was there to guide me, so I was basically standing still.
It happened to be a sunny day today, and the rice in the mountains was almost gone. I collected some dried herbs and took them back. When I got home, I heard that Grandma Zhang had passed away.
Second Grandma Zhang was Li Ergou's grandmother and also Mr. Li's wife. Both of them were long-lived old people in the village. Second Grandma Zhang lived to be ninety-eight years old, which was considered a natural death.
The water burial was hosted by Mr. He Fakui from the next village. I didn't have to do it, but the neighbors in the village still had to help.
When I came back, I asked my uncle to rest at home while I went to help.
Because of Liu Laodao's reputation, the people in the village had an indescribable respect for me. During the meal, they specially arranged for me to sit at the same table as He Fakui.
I don’t know if it’s because of my peers’ disdain for me, but He Fakui has been sarcastic and sarcastic about me, saying in a roundabout way that Liu Laodao is not good, and neither are the disciples he accepts, and they are all short-lived.
Fortunately, this incident touched Ergou's father's sadness, and he was reconciled by the people around him. He Fakui didn't say anything, but after taking a few sips of wine, He Fakui didn't hold back anymore, saying that the Five Elements Technique was easier to start with than the Taoist Technique.
It was early, but it couldn’t be used on the table, so it was eliminated after the rise of Taoism. It was quite popular in a small country. I was told to go home and get some flour to put on my face, wear a tall hat, maybe pack it, and have some
Hope.
I didn't have much skills, and I was too lazy to pay attention. I ate in a hurry and went to see Mr. Li in the mourning hall.
At nearly 100 years old, Mr. Li is already very old. Fortunately, the old man is relatively enlightened when he lives to this age. He is not very sad. He sits on an old Taishi chair and burns paper money to his second mistress.
When he saw me entering, he raised his head and looked at me. It was this look that made my heart skip a beat.
There is also the art of physiognomy in the Five Elements. The five elements between Li Sanye's brows are in confusion, and Yin is strong and Yang is weak, which is the sign of death. I secretly used Grandma Zhang's birthday and death date to calculate.
Heavy mourning!
Heavy mourning is also called continuous mourning. If the deceased suffers from heavy mourning, it means that someone else in the family will pass away.
I glanced at Mr. Li San and thought about it for a while but still didn’t say anything.
Perhaps for them, being able to leave with their significant other is also a kind of happiness.
Grandpa a year ago, wasn’t that like this?
I sat in the mourning hall and chatted with Mr. Li about our daily life. When we talked about our family’s affairs, Mr. Li also lamented, saying that my grandfather was too stubborn and regardless of the consequences.
Talking about my father, I said that my uncle has been taking care of him and he is much better now. When Mr. Li heard this, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was recalling the past.
After a while, he said: "Boss Jiang has such a heart, it's not in vain that your grandfather risked his life to fish him out of the Mang River."
"Grandpa Third, what do you mean?" I don't know whether Grandpa Li said that my uncle fell into the water, or...
