Chapter 62 - red door inn

I walked to the second tombstone and looked at the tombstone, Chen Zhenhua (born in 1950-died in 1975). I frowned when I saw it, paid homage to this ancestor, put incense, and went to the next tomb. Chen Jinnan (born in 1825 - died in 1850.) Chen Guorong (born in 1875 - died in 1900.)... After worshiping all twenty graves, I was surprised to find that in these tombs, except for other grandmothers , no one named Chen has lived beyond the age of twenty-five. After I paid my respects, I suddenly turned my head and looked at Old Superstition in disbelief, and Old Superstition was also looking at me with a frown. When he saw that I had finished my worship, he walked up to me and said, "Have you finished reading?"I nodded numbly, and my heart was tumbling. Anyone who encounters me in this situation may not be able to calm down. Old superstition. Then he said: "Now you know why I didn't tell you.""No one in our family will live past the age of twenty-five?"I couldn't believe it. If these ancestors didn't live past the age of twenty-five, then I Woolen cloth? I asked anxiously: "What's the reason? Is there any disease in our family? Now that science is so advanced, it must be curable.""I knew your kid would be anxious."Old Superstition touched my forehead. With a doting look in his eyes, he said: "Let's go back to my house. I'll slowly Let me tell you. "No, tell me if it can be cured."I stared at Old Superstition. Maybe you can't understand my feelings at that time, but if you think about it, when you know that you are nineteen years old. If you knew at that time that you might not live to be twenty-five, you might be more radical than what I did at that time. "Calm down."Old Superstition comforted me, but I yelled: "How can you tell me to calm down? I'm still so young, what's going on? How can I not live to be twenty-five years old?"There was a crisp sound. The left side of my face hurt. It was Old Superstition who slapped me in the face. He sobered me up a lot. "You kid, you're too impatient. It's a blessing in disguise. Why are you so extreme?"Old Superstition glared at me, then seemed to ignore me, turned around and left, leaving me alone. I followed helplessly. I was in a trance all the way, thinking about what to do? Do you want to go to the best hospital in China for treatment? But if you don't have money, why don't you rob a bank? Which one should I grab? Do you want to visit the spot tomorrow? Or whatever. My mind was full of random thoughts. When I think about it now, I don't even know how I ended up in the old superstition house at that time. After arriving at the old scientist's house, the old scientist asked me to sit on the sofa and said to me: "I don't know everything. What do you want to know? Tell me.""I want to know everything!"I looked at it. Old Superstition said seriously: "Old man, please, this matter is too important to me. Please help me.""Then I'll start with the founding of the Qing Dynasty, cough cough."Old Superstition thought about it. Say it right away. The reason why the Qing Dynasty unified the country actually had another reason besides strong soldiers and horses. Dragon Veins, each dragon vein in China represents the rise and fall of each dynasty.When the dragon veins of the Ming Dynasty were weak, Taizong Aixinjueluo Nurhaci of the Qing Dynasty relied on shamanism to awaken their dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, so he conquered the world unimpeded. It was precisely because of Taizong Aixinjueluo Nurhachi of the Qing Dynasty. Nurhachi believed in ghosts and gods very much, which according to current standards is superstitious. But he is a superstitious shaman. Shamans are now the great dancing gods. These shamans have signed agreements with various wild immortals and immortals. The Qing government provides them with services as immortals, and these wild immortals and immortals help the shamans to protect the Qing Dynasty. dynasty. These wild fairies are the five fairies of the Northeast that everyone is familiar with: beard, yellow, white, willow and gray. At that time, Taoism was suppressed by Shamanism. The leader of Zhengyi Sect at that time was named Chen Lu. Old superstition told me that this was my ancestor. At that time, Chen Lu was twenty-three years old and became the leader of the Zhengyi Sect at a young age. This old ancestor of mine wanted to revitalize Taoism at that time. He did not realize that the rise of shamanism was related to shamanism's role in helping the royal family awaken Obtained from the dragon vein, he naively thought that as long as Taoism could surpass Shamanism, Taoism would be valued by the royal family, and then he found the leader of Shamanism at that time to compete. The leader of the shamanism was older and thought more comprehensively. He felt that such a competition was completely meaningless, so he refused. It happened that a very mysterious thing appeared at that time, the Red Gate Inn. This inn was erratic, but as long as someone bumped into it, it was basically a dead end. At that time, the leader of the shamanism said that since there was a competition, it would be up to who surrendered first. This monster at the Red Door Inn. Then Chen Lu started wandering around, looking for the Red Gate Inn. After all, he was the leader of the Zhengyi Sect and had the highest level of Taoism. He quickly found the Red Gate Inn. However, he was defeated by the monster in the Red Gate Inn and almost lost his life there. This caused an uproar from all walks of life at that time. Although Taoism is not as powerful as before, the defeat of a peak Taoist figure by a monster is still a hot topic worthy of discussion. Many Everyone is also panicking. However, the leader of the shamanism easily walked back and forth to the Red Gate Inn. After returning, he brought the emperor a letter from the leader of the monsters in the Red Gate Inn. It said that the leader of the shamanism had unlimited power and other nonsense. Finally, he said I am willing not to make trouble for a hundred years. As soon as the news came out, Chen Lu was so angry that he vomited blood. He died of depression at the age of twenty-five. Fortunately, he gave birth to a son before his death. However, none of Chen Lu's descendants survived the age of twenty-five. Everyone was He said that he was cursed by the monsters at the Red Gate Inn, and he immediately started to respect the leader of the shamanism even more. The story ends here. After Li Shigao finished telling this story, I frowned and said, "Are my ancestors that stupid?""But that's what I know."Li Shigao looked at me with a smile and said, "But later someone also found out that the Red Gate Inn was full of monsters, and shamanism has a close relationship with monsters. I'm afraid there's something fishy about it."What should we do?""I don't care whether he is fishy or not at this time. My life is the most important. I asked: "Can I wait to die like this? Wait until you die young? "That's not the case. Maybe you can find a solution as long as you find the Red Gate Inn."After Old Superstition finished speaking, he touched his nose and said, "And I know someone who has seen the Red Door Inn."""who. "It's not like I haven't thought about going to the Red Gate Inn, but I just thought, how could something from hundreds of years ago still exist? But now I hear the old superstition say this, it seems that someone has seen it. "It's not just that I have seen it. , and even went shopping. "Old Superstition looked at me with a smile and said, "That's your master, Wu Jiu. If you have time, go visit him. It doesn't make sense that you haven't visited him since you became his apprentice. , just ask him about the Red Gate Inn. "
