270. The old man who practices Taoism (1)

After receiving the memory, Wei Mingyan had to sigh sincerely. There is always a way to kill someone.

The country he is currently in is called Ye State, and Ye State can be considered prosperous and powerful. Hundreds of years ago, the king of Ye State sent his army to conquer the surrounding countries, and has since become the only country in the Central Plains.

Because of the stability of the country, gradually, the original high-status military commanders became high-status literati, and the ancestors of the original owner were military generals. They followed the emperor to conquer the world. They were once considered majestic, but they knew that Ye Guo was gradually no longer in power. We need generals. The original owner's grandfather had fought a few battles on the battlefield, but his father had never been on the battlefield at all.

Not only because the country no longer valued military generals, but also because he was physically weak and died of illness after only having a single child like his original owner.

The family was deeply saddened because his father had contracted the cold in his early years when he was practicing martial arts in the winter, and his body had become weak since then. All the concubines in the mansion had no children. The original owner’s grandmother gave birth to three sons and one daughter, but only the original owner’s father survived. , as the mistress of the mansion and the grandmother of the original owner, she protects her only grandson like a baby.

Having been pampered and raised like this, the original owner, who was clearly a military commander, was extremely weak-tempered. There was no title in the family, only some of the incestuous relationships from his early years were still there. His loving grandparents were afraid that their grandson would be bullied after they left, so they insisted on staying there. When he entered the palace during the Chinese New Year, he licked his old face and asked for the title of Marquis for his grandson.

Although it can only be in the generation of the original owner, and the title will not be passed on to his son when he dies, it is still a great favor.

This is an honor that outsiders seem to have gained because the original owner, the grandfather, who was very shameless, cried and begged, begged the late emperor for mercy.

In fact, when the two old men passed away, they told the original owner who was kneeling beside the bed the truth. They were able to ask for this title for him, which is usually only reserved for those with royal relatives, because in the early years when the original owner's grandfather went to sea under the order, A gold mine was discovered.

He used the address of the gold mine in exchange for a title that his grandson would enjoy throughout his life.

And this prince not only had the courage to negotiate conditions with the emperor, but also secretly withheld a piece of news. In fact, the locations discovered at that time were not one, but two.

The remaining one naturally told his grandson.

Originally, this grandfather's idea was very simple. Although he knew that his family's situation could not allow him to mine now, he still knew the address. If he passed it on to future generations, he would one day find an opportunity.

It's a pity that his grandson is a coward who was raised useless.

After the two old people passed away, the original owner fell into a stage of thinking about life. He didn't like money. First, his wife was the one who managed the family's finances. All he had to do was ask for money. Second, of course it was the gold mine, even if it hadn't been mined yet. , in the heart of the original owner, it was also their family's gold, and he was a rich man.

He also doesn’t like beauty very much. This depends on the original owner’s wife. Although she is only the daughter of a small official, she is very beautiful and has very good skills. While she is winning over her husband, she is also called by the original owner’s friends. When he was in the flower house, he was designed to see the girl in the flower room who was infected with the flower willow disease.

The original owner was carefully raised since childhood, and it can be said that he did not suffer any setbacks. After seeing such a scene of bad habits, he returned home and fell seriously ill. When he was bedridden, he was kindly cared for by his beautiful and gentle wife. Knowing that he It was because I was frightened when I went to the Flower House that I acted like this. First I blamed myself, "It's all my fault that I'm not good enough, so I asked you to go out and look for someone." Then, regardless of the original owner's guilty conscience and comfort, he quickly removed the two colored people around him. The good girl opened her face and became his first wife.

Although the domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers, after the original owner knew that the wild flowers outside were likely to be infected with diseases, he had no interest in wild flowers and simply enjoyed his charming wife and concubines. His wife was not jealous and was very fond of her husband's beauty. Support, as long as her husband uses people she has control over, she can send him into the house if he wants a hundred.

The wife was spoiled, and the original owner didn't have the right size. After a night when he needed to do some coding, he stopped lifting.

a bolt from the blue!

No light day and night!

The original owner, who was thirty years old and had two teenage children, cried like a child.

His wife was also shocked. The education she received since she was a child was that if a man likes sex, let him love her, as long as he doesn’t create wild children and spoil his concubine to destroy his wife. However, her mother did not teach her that men should spoil their penis How to do it?

After a lot of trouble, it happened that such embarrassing things were not easy to publicize. Even the imperial doctor did not dare to invite him, so he could only see the doctor in private.

However, the doctors couldn't do anything. They only said that the Marquis had lost his health. Now the original owner stopped drinking and didn't watch the theater. He stayed in the room all day long and could only lament at the moon.

His wife was also worried. They gave birth to two sons, neither of whom had grown up. If her husband passed away at this time, leaving them with no support, wouldn't they be waiting to be bullied?

She searched everywhere for medical treatment and finally found a miracle doctor for the original owner.

The miracle doctor directly said that he was not a doctor, but a magician. There was a golden elixir here. After taking it, he would keep it until the disease was cured.

After taking it, the medicine really cures the disease.

The original owner and his wife excitedly gave birth to a little daughter that night.

After this incident, he had an epiphany.

What beauty, what indescribability, are all illusions.

who is he?

He is a man who owns a mountain of gold.

Money, women, everything is just a cloud.

He decided that he would learn from that warlock and be like him, who was ninety years old and still looked as young as fifty.

Although this idea has been set, the true nature will still pop up from time to time. After all, people always have seven emotions and six desires, and the original owner has more desires.

Basically every day, he makes various difficult choices between cultivating the Tao - Jiao | wife and beautiful concubine - cultivating the Tao - Jiao | wife and beautiful concubine.

When his youngest daughter was born, his wife suffered from severe bleeding and the magician's golden elixir was useless, so she left that night.

An ordinary person might have noticed that the warlock was a liar, but unfortunately, while he was a liar, he was also a big liar.

Why did the lady die after taking the golden elixir? This is because, Mr. Marquis, you are destined to embark on the road of spiritual practice. As a Taoist, you must cut off your seven emotions and six desires. Mr. Hou, you love your wife the most, so your wife’s death is God’s will, allowing you to cut off your love and devote yourself to Taoism. God willing.

This time, the original owner didn’t have a difficult choice.

He buried his wife and married off a group of concubines on their own. Those who didn't want to leave the Hou Mansion stayed in the backyard, as before, but he would never step in to do anything that required fighting. yard movement.

From then on, the original owner began to meditate every day under the guidance of the warlock, striving to become a master like the warlock as soon as possible.

Since he was devoted to the Tao, he naturally did not want to marry again, so he married his eldest son a daughter-in-law and asked her to take care of the house and the younger brothers and sisters.

Fortunately, despite having an unreliable father like him, the daughter-in-law he married was quite good. She took care of her husband and became a civil servant, elected an official, and took care of his younger siblings. She was truly like a eldest sister-in-law and a mother-in-law. .

The Marquis's mansion is running normally under the control of the eldest daughter-in-law.

He himself, of course, felt at ease and huddled in his own yard, refusing to come out unless he could.

It has been safe and sound until now, and the original owner is fifty years old.

[One hundred and ten years old] The old sorcerer passed away.

The original owner was not very sad. In his mind, living one hundred and ten years was considered a long life. If he were not a Taoist, a normal person would have died at the age of sixty.

However, he didn't know that the real age of the warlock was the same as him. In his early years, he had been traveling all over the country and his face was full of weather, which made him look older than his actual age.

In fact, with a fifty-year-old face and a real age of only thirty, he lied to the original owner that he was ninety years old, and the original owner still believed it.

After the fifty-year-old warlock left, the original owner began to worry. After the master left, he had never practiced golden elixir. What should he eat in the future?

So, after some ideological struggle, the original owner resolutely... chose to do it himself.

Then, he ate himself to death.

This is the memory of the original owner, and if you look at it from the perspective of others, he is like a man who has been under a demon since his wife passed away, following a warlock who doesn't know the details all day long.

He doesn't care about his children, and his grandchildren never take a glance at him. If he didn't have a title, a fief and a salary, he would really be no different from a dead person.

Especially the eldest son, who had already grown up when his mother passed away, was even more puzzled by his father's behavior.

It's hard to say that his father was deeply affected by his mother's death. His younger brothers and sisters were too young to remember, but he remembered the women who came into his father's courtyard one after another.

But he couldn't care about this. This man in his early thirties was already the master of the family. His father was not responsible, so everything in the family fell on him and his wife. Although the family was considered a prince's mansion, because The Marquis is obsessed with these heretics. Apart from serious relatives, he doesn’t even have a residence that he can get close to. He has no one to help him in the court. Except for his biological father, all his elders are dead, and he can’t even get any advice. A man in his thirties is the boss at home and the God of his wife and children, but he is very nervous outside and just wants to live with his tail between his legs.

Sometimes I hate my father for not caring about things. When he was only a teenager, he was forced to support the Hou Mansion with his newly married wife. However, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, in the country of Ye where filial piety is the most important thing, just now Mr. Wei, who has returned from his overseas release, still has to pay his respects to his father, Mrs. Wei.

He stood by the door, watching the boy urging him cautiously, and felt a sour feeling in his heart. Based on his father's past behavior, he probably found out through the doorway again.

This time, something happened to Shangguan, which made the third prince dissatisfied and blamed it all on him. He was trembling and didn't know what to do. He was afraid that the whole family would be implicated accidentally, but when he returned home, The father who was supposed to be the closest to him refused to even look at him.

Just as Mr. Wei was thinking about it, the door opened.

His own father was looking at him with squinted eyes and a dissatisfied look on his face, his voice full of disgust, "Why did you bring the bad luck from outside into your home?"

As he said that, the man who was wearing a large robe and looked dusty rarely stepped out of his house and looked at his son up and down.

Mr. Wei became nervous inexplicably, thinking that his father might have read some messy books again, and he couldn't speak frankly, so he had to bow and said, "I'm here to pay you respects."

"Ok, I know."

Wei Mingyan shook his head as he spoke, then tore his robe smoothly, then pulled Master Wei's hand which had not yet reacted, pulled out a needle from somewhere and poked it.

"hiss……"

Seeing his own father dancing wildly on the torn pieces of cloth with his hand, Mr. Wei's already miserable heart became even more miserable.

Dad went crazy before things outside were resolved.

How to live this day.

The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will give out red envelopes, and then a hundred random little angels will give out red envelopes.
