After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 262 An old story

  Li Dandao is carrying a pig's head, and from a distance, he looks like a monster with a pig's head and a human body.

  Monk Bajie looked at Li Dandao like this, and Ami Buddha snorted.

  Li Dan asked, "Does the monk want to eat meat?"

   "The disciple is disgusted when he smells the stench, and he can't bear to see it. Although he can't help the three clean meats, he still doesn't like it."

   "Five meat, meaty, all disciples have kept precept 9."

   "Then you're not lucky. Come to my house for the New Year. I'll get you some vegetarian food."

  Monk Bajie was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then the disciple is disrespectful."

After waiting for the chat with the monk Bajie, the old man asked, "You are so Buddhist and Taoist? It's okay to go to the master Sun's doctor before, you can learn your skills, but you haven't learned your skills for a few days. already."

  Li Dan said hehe: "That's my apprentice, right?" Li Dan said to the pig's head in his hand.

   went to the ancestral hall, and sure enough, there were a group of big men who were bragging and farting there, fetching water from the well to wash the table, bench, tableware and dishes.

   Seeing the old man coming, a few took the initiative to say hello.

   is more about looking at the pig head in Li Dandao's hand.

   "This pork head meat is the best for drinking!" They were already greedy.

   The old man is not here to worship, but to show off his wealth.

  How many people can afford meat today?

  How many people have reached the level of "ordinary farmers"?

  The old man said with a smile: "Next year, my family's Fude will go to Beijing for the exam. If it succeeds, I will repair the ancestral house. At that time, I will trouble the young descendants of the clan. One of them is counted as one, and I guarantee that I will have meat."

   "Then congratulate uncle in advance!" They all laughed happily.

  The old man said: "After making offerings to the ancestors, I will get pig head meat to eat at noon. My grandson is a good cook, so I asked him to make this big pot of vegetables."

   There are only two people who come to the ancestral hall to work, and it is not anyone who wants to come. It must be a prosperous family who can send representatives to clean the ancestral hall.

   A pig head is enough to make some dishes.

   The old man took Li Dandao to kowtow to his ancestors, but when he saw that Li Dandao didn't kowtow, he scolded, "Why don't you kowtow?"

  Li Dandao was helpless. It turned out that Li Dandao did not take off the official uniform of the city god. Those ancestors who looked at Li Dandao were not the heirs of their own family, but the county lord came out to inspect.

  Li Dandao had to kneel down and kowtow, and those ancestors avoided one after another, daring not to bow down to Li Dandao.

After    worship, the plaque of "Tun Ren Tang" above the ancestral hall dropped a corner and hung diagonally.

   A group of ancestors said there: "The county lord can't do it, can't do it!"

  Li Dan said: "You are the ancestors, I am the younger generation, how can I do it."

   "Zhu Tianshou! Destroying Tianshou!" The ancestors were frightened.

   "Why did the plaque fall?" The old man raised his head and frowned.

  Li Dan said: "This is a good sign. It means that our ancestral hall is going to change the plaque. What does it mean? It means that my uncle will definitely be appreciated for the exam."

   The old man frowned, brought the turtle shell enshrined in the ancestral hall, and played a hexagram.

   "Grandpa, do you still throw hexagrams?"

  The old man rolled his eyes at Li Dan and said, in fact, ancient divination was frequent, and some people even asked ghosts and gods about everything. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, these traditions have not been cut off.

   In addition to the folk hexagrams, the hexagrams are not complicated, and it is more effective to simply ask for good or bad.

   "The Holy Trigram."

   The old man raised his brows and fought again.

   "Yang Gua"

   The old man's brows darkened again.

   Then roll the third hexagram "Yin hexagram."

   The brows were completely stretched out.

The old man said: "The peach trees are blooming and the trees are red, and the wind is blowing noisy, and the clouds are not allowed to see the sun again. It is prosperous throughout the year. You must sit firmly when crossing the boat, and you must walk carefully and slowly on the rock. You can skip this step. Taiping, seek fortune and fortune come and go."

   "It's still auspicious."

  Li Dandao still had some research on cultivation, but he had no knowledge of playing hexagrams, so he asked Mr. Xiang, "How do you say it?"

   "If you seek fame and fame, you must accumulate virtue first and become wealthy and get promoted. It means that in order to have certain virtues, you also need money to open the way."

   "If you are looking for marriage, it is to expand a large number of couples who are too few, and you will have to wait a while."

   "Looking at the fortune, it means that the fortune has come, you don't need to wait, but you still have to treat people with respect and be careful."

  Li Dandao nodded: "So, there must be no problem with uncle's exam, but the marriage may not be suitable for a while."

The people next to    saw that the plaque of the ancestral hall had fallen into a corner, and then saw the old man's divination, and asked, "But the ancestors foretelled?"

   "Nothing, this is an auspicious hexagram, first burn a few incense sticks, find a ladder, and first straighten the plaque."

   A few people brought the ladder, but they all said it was unlucky when they climbed on the ancestor's head, saying they wanted a boy to come.

   So it was Li Dandao's business again. Li Dandao climbed up to the top and straightened the plaque.

   But something fell.

  Li Dan asked, "What is it?"

   "It's a hexagram knife." The old man picked it up.

  Li Dan asked, "Would you like to put it back in place?"

"The hexagram knife is used to break evil and suppress evil. Since it has fallen, it means that fate has arrived, but the magic weapon must be put back on the back of the plaque." The old man said: "It's better to discuss it with the clan elders, Zongzheng. ."

Li Dandao went down the stairs and looked at the hexagram knife. The hexagram knife was formed by bending an arrow. The tip of the arrow had been wound into a circle, surrounded by eight large copper coins and eight small copper coins. The tail of the arrow is made of molten bronze and painted with gossip.

The    has a spirituality on it, and when it is shaken, there is a lingering sound.

  Li Dandao felt that he liked it very much, and felt that it was only after meeting the master that he took the initiative to show up.

   asked: "Grandpa, can you give me this hexagram knife?"

  The old man looked at Li Dan and said, "It depends on what Zongzheng and the clansmen mean."

It didn't take long for Zong Zheng and the clan elders to come, looking at the hexagram knife and pondering: "This is what the ancestors moved here hundreds of years ago. There are records in the genealogy. At that time, there were many people on the migration road. Infested by evil spirits."

  Zongzheng said: "At that time, the Hu people ate the Han people, and there were evil spirits everywhere. The demons did not hide in the mountains and forests, but appeared on the official road and attacked pedestrians."

   "At that time, there was a clan, who learned skills from the masters, and took our ancestors to hide in XZ. In addition to hiding from the Hu people, he also wanted to prevent monsters and ghosts from prying on them, and finally settled in Tianma Village."

   "At that time, in order to avoid the killing of the Hu people, the ancestor used an evil formation."

   "What formation?"

Zongzheng said slowly: "At that time, the ancestor kidnapped eight pregnant Hu people who were about to give birth, took off their clothes, head down, door up, buried around the village, nailed the flag pillars into it, and left and right were Mass graves, old forests, eerie and terrifying.

  When the Hu people saw us coming and going, they sent a team of soldiers to fight, fifty of them, and all of them died tragically in the surrounding area. "

  Li Dan Daoguang listened to this formation, and he felt extremely dangerous and evil.

   "Afterwards, the Hu people were defeated and fled, but the ancestor couldn't dismantle the formation. At the same time, the evil spirits in the formation became more and more fierce, and even our Li family failed to give birth to a single child for ten years."

   "Too bad for Yin virtue." Li Dan said, "How did you break the formation?"

"The ancestor killed himself with the arrows of the Hu people, and offered himself up as a sacrifice to stabilize the eight evil spirits. Then the others removed the flags and dug up the bones of the eight Hu people for burial. The Eight Niangniang Temple in the back, where there is no worship, is where they are suppressed."

   "That arrow was cast into this hexagram knife, which once again protected our Li clan."

   "I didn't expect it to fall today." Zongzheng said: "This matter... alas..."
