During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, a lonely and dusty young scholar walked by on the streets of Suzhou. Not long ago, his parents died, his fiancée also left him, and the family's property was divided among relatives, and now he is penniless and desperate. He had a white silk in his arms, and he planned to end his life at the grave of his parents this time.
When passing by an alley, a young man in a Taoist robe stopped him: "Childe, Childe, let's settle a hexagram, don't ask for money!" ”
The scholar touched the money bag in his arms, there were still the last ten cents left in it, he didn't want to tell the fortune, just threw the money to the Taoist priest, and prepared to leave. Who would have thought that after the Taoist priest took the money, he would have to count everything he said, the scholar was a little helpless, but what he didn't expect was that this experience completely changed his fate.
The scholar's name is Su Zi'an, and his Su family is a scholarly family with a profound heritage and a good reputation in the local area. Su Zi'an is also the pride of the sky, he has been smart since he was a child, he was admitted to the head of the case at a young age, and his future is immeasurable, and his fiancée is the only daughter of a local outsider, which can be described as a good match.
But all of this was completely changed by an accident. Three years ago, Su Zi'an went out with his second uncle, that is, his father's younger brother Su Laoer. Su Lao Er knew the local prefect and said that he wanted to introduce Su Zi'an, but who would have thought that when passing by a small bridge, Su Zi'an's horse was suddenly frightened, and he was unfortunately thrown into the river.
At that time, the temperature was still very low, and Su Zi'an fell seriously ill after being rescued, and lay at home for half a month. It was a small accident, but not long after he recovered, his parents, who had always been healthy, suddenly fell ill and died not long after.
Due to the haste of the two of them, they failed to make a will, which also led to relatives fighting for family property. At this juncture, Su Zi'an's fiancée actually fell in love with another man, and even did not hesitate to elope with him, but also broke off the marriage contract with Su Zi'an. For a while, Su Zi'an became a joke abandoned by his fiancée in the eyes of everyone, and his family property did not earn from other relatives and was kicked out of the house.
After wandering outside for three days, Su Zi'an was finally cornered, he changed into a relatively clean clothes, and after freshening up by the river, he got a white silk and was ready to go to his parents' grave to finish himself, who would have thought that he would meet the Taoist priest halfway.
The Taoist priest is the same age as him, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a refined temperament, if this appearance is placed in the downtown area, it will definitely attract many little girls, but he just pulled Su Zi'an and didn't let him go, and his explanation also made Su Zi'an cry and laugh: "I watched the sky at night the night before the next day, and learned that I would meet a destined person here today, and I waited here early in the morning, son, you are the destined person!" ”
Seeing that he couldn't leave for a while, Su Zi'an had no choice but to sit in front of him obediently, but as soon as the Taoist priest spoke, he made him miserable: "I can't hide it, poor Dao sees that the son's heavenly court is full, and his eyebrows and eyes are clear, which is a rare good character!" ”
Su Zi'an remembered that his parents died early and his bad luck continued, so he couldn't help but sneered twice, but did not respond. Seeing this, the Taoist priest hurriedly continued to speak: "With the face of the son, your parents will definitely be rich and long-lived, you have grown up pampered since you were a child, you should not have suffered hardship!" ”
Hearing this, Su Zi'an couldn't help but retort: "My parents have just passed away, you don't want to talk nonsense here, and I don't want the ten cents, say goodbye!" ”
As soon as the little Taoist priest heard that he was wrong, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand to stop Su Zi'an: "It shouldn't be, is the son having a successful career and a lot of wealth?" Or is it full of love and harmony between husband and wife? ”
Su Zi'an was very helpless, and truthfully said that he was bankrupt and homeless, and the last ten cents of his body had been given to him. As for love, his abandonment by his fiancée is well known locally, and he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
After hearing this, the little Taoist priest was full of embarrassment, but he still refused to give up, saying that it was impossible, he couldn't miscalculate, and at the same time asked Su Zi'an for his birthday. Su Zi'an saw that it was still early, so he simply saw what else the little Taoist priest could say, so he wrote his birthday on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
After the Taoist priest took it, he took out a bunch of things from the box behind him, including rune paper, copper coins, and a broken bowl. After that, he spread out a rag, which was a gossip array, and then lit three incense sticks, and began to divination.
Before this, Su Zi'an accosted him, and only then did he learn that this little Taoist priest was actually from Maoshan orthodoxy, and now he was practicing in Hongchen, and the Taoist number was inactive.
Soon, the results came out, and after seeing the results, the little Taoist's face changed suddenly, and then he scolded: "It's really shameless, there are such people in the world who have lost their conscience, and they even have to rob other people's lives!" ”
Su Zi'an looked stunned when he heard this, but the Taoist priest asked him if he had a serious illness before he was unlucky. Su Zi'an was slightly stunned and nodded, it seems that this little Taoist priest does have some Taoism, and he can even calculate this matter, but what is the matter with the robbery of his life.
The little Taoist priest explained that Su Zi'an has all five elements, and his delicate qi is circulating, which is a first-class rich and noble personality, but when he was divining, he found that his five elements were blocked, his aura was lost, and his life was lost.
Su Zi'an was taken aback when he heard this, and after listening to the words of the Taoist priest, he thought about it carefully, as if all the accidents happened after his serious illness, could it be that this Taoist priest didn't lie to himself, and his life that should have been rich and noble was really snatched away? But he has kept a low profile over the years, and he has never had an argument with anyone, let alone an enemy, who will target him?
Su Zi'an looked at the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest didn't say it clearly, but he calculated that the clue was on the ancestral tomb of the Su family. Immediately, the two immediately packed up their things and rushed to the ancestral grave of the Su family. Su Zi'an's father was more superstitious, and he deliberately found a master before his death and chose the location of the ancestral tomb. The ancestral tomb of the Su family is located in a clearing in the back mountain, where there is a living water stream in front and a green mountain in the back, which is a treasure land for hiding and gathering qi.
When the Taoist priests saw the location of the Su family's ancestral tomb, they couldn't help but sigh that they had indeed chosen a good place. But when he walked to the grave of Su Zi'an's parents, he was stunned. He stretched out his hand to the vigorous pomegranate tree on the side and asked loudly, "Childe, who asked you to plant the pomegranate tree here?" ”
Su Zi'an was confused, claiming that it was his second uncle, that is, Su Lao's younger brother. However, Su Zi'an also explained that his mother was very fond of pomegranate trees during her lifetime, and this pomegranate tree was originally in the backyard of Su's house, and after his mother's death, his second uncle suggested that he transplant the pomegranate tree to the grave, so that his mother could see the pomegranate tree he liked.
When the Taoist priest heard this, he scolded him for being confused, and then pulled him to the pomegranate tree. The Taoist priest fumbled for a while, and found a pitch-black nail, which he pulled out and threw on the ground, and continued to grope. About half an hour later, the Taoist priest pulled out a total of seven nails of different lengths from the pomegranate tree. Su Zi'an looked stunned when he saw it, it was the pomegranate tree that he personally transplanted, and there were no nails, where did the nails come from?
The Taoist priest told him that the root system of the pomegranate tree is developed, and as the year continues to grow, it will continue to go down until it pierces the deceased's yin house, that is, the tomb, once the tomb ** shows the roots, it means that the deceased has no place to live, and the roots have not yet penetrated into the body of the deceased, so that it cannot be reincarnated. In addition, seven soul-calming nails are nailed into the pomegranate tree, and the yin qi increases dramatically, causing the roots of the tree to intertwine underground.
Su Zi'an's face turned pale, his hands were clenched, he never thought that someone would be so ruthless, and he would lay out such a formation that lost his conscience, so that his parents would not be at peace after they died. In addition, he also vaguely guessed that it was probably his second uncle who laid down this array, after all, he was the one who let him transplant the pomegranate tree here.
The Taoist priest also affirmed his speculation, and said that there must be a master to help Su Lao Er, when he fell into the water and fell ill, it was not an accident, it must have been done by the master behind Su Lao Er, in order to take advantage of the weakness when his aura was weak, and plundered his life. As for laying this Tianluo Net Great Array, it is to prevent the ancestors of the Su family and protect Su Zi'an, so as to determine the fate to succeed.
After that, the Taoist priest lit three soul-attracting incense sticks and let Su Zi'an sit in front of him. So far, the white smoke produced by the burning of the soul-attracting incense has not penetrated into Su Zi'an's nostrils, but has been lingering around him, and it dissipates after a while. The Taoist priest's face changed slightly, telling him that his life had been lost for too long, his soul was unstable, and if it was another two months, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him not to die.
Su Zi'an was taken aback when he heard this, but fortunately, the Taoist priest had a way to crack this method, and he could also lift the Tianluo Earth Net Great Array. After the formation is lifted, the caster will be counterattacked, and now Su Lao Er doesn't know that Su Zi'an has discovered the truth, which is the best chance to disarm the spell.
That night, the Taoist priest prepared a lot of rune paper and cinnabar, and set up a large array of yin and yang gossip in front of the tomb. After that, the Taoist priest used a charm to attract the heavenly thunder, and directly split it on the pomegranate tree, the pomegranate tree was instantly engulfed by the fire, and Su Zi'an lay in the middle of the formation, the Taoist priest cut his palm, used his own essence and blood as a guide, supplemented by the residual power of the heavenly thunder, forcibly strengthened Su Zi'an's soul, pulled his life, and pulled his lost lifeline back.
After all the dust settled, the Taoist priest fainted to the ground, his mana essence and blood were seriously overdrawn, but it was not life-threatening, and he would be fine if he rested more. The next day, the two returned to the town and received news that Su Lao Er suddenly went crazy last night. In addition, there was another person in Su Zhai who suddenly burst into flames all over his body and was burned alive. Everyone was amazed, only Su Zi'an and the Taoist priest knew what was going on.
After Mingge came back, Su Zi'an regained hope, he began to study hard, and three years later, he successfully entered high school, entered the official career, and married a beautiful wife with eyes full of him, and lived a happy life. As for the little Taoist, after separating from Su Zi'an, he embarked on the journey of training again, and no one knew where he went.
