"With sincerity, I declare the ...... of rivers, lakes and seas"
When Liu Yumei's voice sounded, although Li Chaseyuan was still standing in the room, his consciousness fell into some kind of strange trance.
In his sight, the lamp with the golden dragon raising its head seemed to come to life all of a sudden.
The golden dragon's body detached from the lamp, first twisting, and then hovering, the wick was like fire, and the breath was surging.
It left the ground, flew to itself, and then circled it again.
It seemed as if something had been burned, but there was no smell of burning, only wisps of smoke and dust and a faint crisp sound in the ears.
If I had to make an analogy, it would be yarn.
A layer that shrouds under your feet, covers the road, and hides your fate.
The yarn is thin and allows light to pass through.
Just like more than a year ago, Li Chaiyuan dug out the set of "Jianghu Zhi Wei Lu" for the first time in his grandfather's basement.
In this book, Wei Zhengdao summarizes all the deaths he has seen and heard in his life, and is an encyclopedia about death.
This set of books is Li Zhuiyuan's enlightenment.
Since then, Li Chaiyuan has planned his future path.
Back in high school, choose a good university, compete in the Mathematical Olympiad, and be admitted in advance.
Including the relationship with Luo Gong, it is also to ensure that he can participate in major water conservancy projects in the future.
Therefore, the road under his feet is only covered with a shallow veil.
But for some things, even if there is only a little bit of opacity, there is still an undercurrent surging below.
He did start walking Jiang a long time ago, but he didn't understand, didn't go straight, and didn't feel happy.
The announcement of the opening of the altar and Liu Yumei was equivalent to helping him dispel this last layer of mist.
This is a river that is destined to be difficult to walk, full of difficulties and obstacles, and it is overturned at every turn.
But it is here.
Rather than open-ended subjective questions, teenagers prefer objective questions with limited conditions, no matter how complex or difficult the latter is.
Now, the topic is listed in front of you, just pick up a pen and do it.
After losing that little bit of confusion and mist,
I just feel relaxed and at ease.
Even the golden dragon that was still flying around him looked a little cute in Li Zhuiyuan's eyes, stunned, like his own little black.
In reality, the lamp is still the same lamp, the golden dragon is still hanging on the lamp, and the wick candle flame sways in its dragon's mouth.
Most of the people in the room couldn't see the vision that Li Chaiyuan saw at this time.
In the eyes of Runsheng and the three of them, Li Chaiyuan's whole person seemed to be relieved.
They worshipped the Dragon King and understood the meaning of the second lamp, but it was impossible to say how deep their understanding and experience were.
Just now, they felt nervous and uneasy in the reaction of Liu Yumei and others, but after seeing their Brother Xiaoyuan's current state, the three of them felt relieved.
No matter how serious it is, with a different perspective and mentality, it can become: Hey, what a big deal.
The other emotions in Uncle Qin's eyes were dispelled, and all that was left was emotion.
Thinking back to when I lit the second lamp, the mistress was still young.
Facing the rows of tablets on the offering table, facing the responsibility of reviving the Qin and Liu families, he gritted his teeth, his face was solemn, and his heart was apprehensive and panicked.
But the same scene, coupled with the unexpected arrangement of opportunities, fell on the boy in front of him, and it presented a kind of freedom.
This is not disguise, because in this atmosphere, people who have the ability to disguise themselves...... There is no need to disguise it.
When you see someone better than yourself, you suddenly realize that your failure seems inevitable.
Aunt Liu's perception was more straightforward, she felt that Xiaoyuan seemed to have an extra layer of temperament, which made the already good-looking boy even better.
In this way, boys and girls are closer in temperament, and when they are together, they look more harmonious.
Aunt Liu urgently needs this sweetness in her mouth now to hedge against the bitterness of cooking for herself with her own hands.
Liu Yumei looked at Li Chaiyuan and waved her hand lightly.
The boy didn't move, because he was still immersed in his emotions.
Uncle Qin walked out.
Aunt Liu wanted to take Ah Li's hand and take her away, but Ah Li didn't move, still looking at the young man.
She didn't like to draw, she only liked to draw Li Chaiyuan, she thought the boy was very good-looking now, including the little golden dragon that was flying around him as a background.
Aunt Liu looked at Liu Yumei, and Liu Yumei nodded slightly.
After the entrance and river walking ceremony, it was the elders who instructed that Ah Li was sitting in the Qin family today, and she could stay, although she would not speak.
But Liu Yumei knew that for this stinky boy, a look from her granddaughter was worth a thousand words to herself.
Seeing this, the three of them also went out.
In the room, only Liu Yumei, Ah Li and Li Chaiyuan were left.
Finally, the golden dragon left around his body and fell back to the lamp.
In reality, the lights go out.
In the eyes of normal people, this lamp is wonderful and goes out abruptly.
But in Li Chaiyuan's opinion, this light has already burned around him, making him warm now.
He couldn't help but turn his head and looked out the window, the thunder had stopped, but the wind and rain were still there.
At this time, I really want to push open the window and let some wind and rain in, and be cool for a while.
"Squeak......
The window was pushed open by a hand, and the wind and rain came in.
As soon as the cool breeze blew and moistened his face, Li Chaiyuan woke up completely.
At this moment, he realized that everyone else had left.
Li Zuiyuan turned to Liu Yumei standing by the window and said apologetically: "I was distracted."
Liu Yumei admired the scenery outside the window like black clouds pressing down on the city, and said with a smile:
"It's a good thing to think more about how you should swim before going down the river, it's better than being stunned and jumping in regardless of a fierce person."
Li Chaiyuan heard that the old lady meant something, but fortunately, Uncle Qin was not there at this time.
"Grandma, there is a question, Aunt Liu told me before, and now, I want to confirm it with you again."
"Say."
"After I left the river, the impact on my family."
"If you change your surname and move, you will be cut off from your family in the north; The household registration is under Li Sanjiang's name, which can be regarded as a separation from your southern home.
In other words, in your narrow family, Li Sanjiang is the only one now.
Your great-grandfather's old guy has deep fortune, as long as he stays in his hometown and does not move his nest, he can still eat and drink spicy food.
Even if you want to go back and take a look, you can do it at any time, just treat him like before. Don't make a big battle like changing luck, changing qi, or extending life, and there will be no problems.
The old guy is really lucky, he shares a household registration book with you, and he made a contract early to leave all his inheritance to you, which is so deeply bound.
When you go to the river in the future, the merits accumulated by the evil spirits in the town will also be distributed to him.
When a person sits at home, blessings come from heaven.
The old guy is healthy and healthy for more than 100 years, which is normal."
Li Chaiyuan: "What about relatives in a broad sense?"
"In a broad sense, relatives do not refer to your relatives in the north and south, but us, the Qin and Liu families.
It is precisely because you entered the door that you deepened the severance of relatives between the north and south."
"Then if I go smoothly......"
Liu Yumei said bluntly: "The Qin and Liu families can naturally benefit,"
「…… Will Ah Li's illness get better?"
Liu Yumei: "Isn't Ah Li's illness getting better all the time?"
"The condition is still there, but Ahri has overcome and gotten used to it even more."
"It will get better." Liu Yumei looked at Ah Li and continued, "They are all former defeated generals, filthy residue, nothing more than looking at the gap and coming up to bully our orphans and widows."
"What should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything deliberately, you just need to do what you should do, go and walk your river well, the stronger you are, the more the lintel of the Qin and Liu families will be revived.
Li Chaiyuan nodded.
Then, he stopped talking.
Fortunately, the sound of wind and rain was mixed, but it didn't look dull.
Liu Yumei asked: "Why don't you continue?"
Li Chaiyuan: "Because I have asked everything I want to ask."
Liu Yumei stretched out her finger to the tablet on the offering table: "There are still three thousand nails in the rotten ship, you can't look down on it?"
"Grandma, that's not what I meant."
"Are you afraid of involving us?" Liu Yumei's fingertips hooked lightly, the window closed, and the room suddenly became quiet, "Ordinary juniors go out, and the elders know how to prepare some entanglements. Now, our Qin and Liu families have finally had someone to cross the river again, and as a family member, we should rely on him no matter what."
"Grandma......
"Grandma, I am old, but I have been pampered all my life, and I can still afford it;
Your Uncle Qin and your Aunt Liu, although they are not successful elders, they can still carry a lot of things.
Changed to a new house, it's a little smaller, but can't it also shelter from the wind and rain?
When you encounter something you can't afford or can't handle, come back when you should come back, and invite someone when you need to.
Once the door of this house is closed, there are really not many things in the world that dare to knock on the door.
If you really want to go out, it will be difficult to find any one.
The tiger's death is still there, our two families are no longer as good as in the past, but because of this, we are more open-minded."
Ahri nodded.
Li Chaiyuan had seen Liu Yumei's caution at his grandfather's house, so he naturally knew better the weight of Liu Yumei's words just now.
Unless you light the lamp again and announce the end of the river.
Otherwise, if you encounter something outside and hide home, the person who protects you will suffer the backlash of luck.
Not to mention who in the family will help you take the initiative to stand up, the side effects of this move will only become more severe.
It can be said that from the moment the second light was lit, his relationship with Liu Yumei and others became the relationship between his grandfather and them in the past.
We can eat and live together, and we can live normally, but as long as it involves metaphysics, it will cause negative effects.
"Grandma, you also saw that although you officially announced it today, in fact, I have already been walking in the dark.
I mean, how I walked before, and after that, I just kept walking like this.
I have my own habits and my own rhythm.
The old model is not necessarily the best, but I have figured it out to be the most suitable for me.
so
Are we doing business as usual?"
"Xiaoyuan, you have your reason, but I also have my own rules, you can't just tell your own reasoning, but completely ignore grandma's rules.
Grandma, I have lived a decent life all my life, and this aspect is good.
You have to make me feel sick and cough.
In this way, after you succeed in going to Jiang, when I go to meet those old immortal things, I am embarrassed to pretend to be humble and say beautiful words such as 'Actually, I just picked up a dragon king for nothing'."
"Since grandma said so, then I will speak."
"Say."
"You, Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu, continue to teach Zhuangzhuang, Runsheng and Yin Meng for a period of time."
"What kind of opening is this, it's something that I promised you a long time ago, and I promised it twice."
"It was before, it is now, and different commitments can carry very different weights at different times."
When I didn't go to the river, it didn't matter, but now, it all has to be involved in cause and effect. Moreover, according to the results of his long journey, cause and effect have actually appeared.
For example, Uncle Qin came back from a serious injury, such as Aunt Liu was almost poisoned today.
One of them wants to teach Runsheng Kung Fu, and the other wants to teach Yin Meng Poison.
The old lady was fine, because she only taught Binbin to nag.
If you have to pay a price......
In this world, between payment and return, the most cost-effective thing is - learning.
let Uncle Qin help him fight, it is better to let Runsheng learn and develop into Uncle Qin;
Let Aunt Liu help her treat and poison herself, it is better to let Yin Meng learn to develop into Aunt Liu.
Anyway, according to common sense and experience, the storms when he first walked the river were not too big, and his team still had room for fault tolerance and development.
Liu Yumei asked: "What about yourself? What about me?"
Obviously, Liu Yumei also noticed that this backlash effect had already appeared.
But there is no way, the old lady who has been good-looking all her life is not allowed to only let Ali and A Ting bleed, she has to take a bite with a handkerchief, otherwise it will not be good.
"Grandma, you make the decision, help me choose a set of basic books, the more basic the better."
"Grandma, I actually ...... can carry much more than the two of them."
"I know, I believe it."
Li Chaiyuan looked at the chair where Liu Yumei was sitting, the armrests on both sides had been crushed, and two small piles of fine wood chips were piled up on the ground.
This is not something that can be done with great strength alone.
"Then you can ask grandma to order a good one, don't be polite, let grandma bleed happily."
"However, I lack a foundation."
If the foundation is not solid, you will suffer losses in the future, which is a truth that school teachers often say.
In the past, Li Zhuiyuan suffered too much because of this.
The most important thing is that he can go back to the basement of the grandfather's house to continue picking up these high-end exercise secrets.
The grandfather purely regarded those ancient books as waste that could not be sold at a price, and they should not be his own things at all.
This also means that no matter how many sets of books he goes, there will be no backlash for the grandfather.
Liu Yumei closed her eyes, as if she had resigned herself to her fate, and said lightly:
"Okay."
Li Chaiyuan smiled and said: "Grandma, when Runsheng and the others have learned this period of time, our future relationship pattern will return to the same as before."
"It's yours."
Liu Yumei waved her hand and motioned for her to leave quickly.
What came to her mind now was the picture of Li Sanjiang sitting in front of a small square stool that day, holding a pen to give Li Chaiyuan a sum of money to calculate college expenses.
Sometimes, even if you have the conditions and family background, but you can't give it out, it is also a kind of suffocation.
What's even more frustrating is that Liu Yumei found that she had been empathizing with Li Sanjiang recently.
"Grandma, then I'll leave first."
Li Chaiyuan walked towards Ah Li.
The young man didn't like Ah Li's outfit today, because it was too solemn and lacked a little naïve and playful, but fortunately, this kind of outfit could not be worn several times in a lifetime.
Ah Li stood up and handed her hand to the boy.
The moment the two held hands, Li Chaiyuan seemed to hear the ghost crying wolf howling in his ears.
It should be because he entered the door of Qin Liu and obtained identity recognition, which made the relationship between himself and Ah Li closer in terms of legal principles.
This was the first time Li Chaiyuan knew that not only in the dark night while sleeping, but even in the waking day, those things were still haunting her.
No wonder the girl only liked to sit on the bench, looking straight ahead, she was doing her best to block out the distractions around her.
This kind of intimidation, intimidation, and curse is always there day and night, like maggots on the tarsus.
Ahri seemed to notice something, her eyes closed slightly, wanting to cut off this connection so that the boy would not be affected.
But Li Zhuiyuan held her hand, but exerted a slight force, and then his eyes froze, and he went directly to the shadow.
The girl raised her head and looked at the boy, who gently raised her hand:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
You didn't tell me that even when you were playing chess, eating, and drawing with me, you were still in this picture.
The girl didn't speak.
The young man took her hand and walked out.
He pushed open the door, and outside the door was a corridor; outside the door, there was a bloody muddy swamp.
They went down the stairs, and the stairs were covered with mats, which were soft and non-slip to step on; the stairs were made of piles of bones, and countless hands stretched out from inside, trying to grab their ankles.
They came to the bottom floor, and at the dining table, Aunt Liu had already placed lunch delicacies; the dining table is a large pot, and a huge sarcoma is cooked in the pot, the sarcoma has eyes, hands and legs, it floats and rolls in the pot, and the mouth, which is particularly small compared to the body, keeps emitting dirty curse words that are difficult to hear.
They came to the door of the house, outside the door, was the courtyard of this three-story small townhouse, opened the door, and it was wind and rain outside; they came to the threshold of a quaint bungalow, outside the threshold, there were all kinds of weird and terrifying beings who had put down the things at hand, and they all looked this way, smiling miserably.
Li Chaiyuan is sick.
Li Lan said that their mother and son are monsters in human skin, because their natural nature will annihilate their emotions and regard even the closest people around them as stupid and disgusting lower beings.
Even looking at people is like this, so how can there be any good impression when looking at these things that are not even people?
Or rather,
How can a child who plays with dead evil spirits as toys when he is ten years old has any awe for these things in his bones?
The boy took the girl's hand and walked out of the house; the boy took the girl's hand and crossed the threshold.
Li Chaiyuan faced the wind and rain around him; Li Chaiyuan looked around at the filth and evil spirits around him.
"If you can't get out of the seal, I will find you in the future, break your seal, and send you on your way with my own hands!
If you have been suppressed and have not yet been erased, I will go to the suppression ground, repair and improve the formation, and watch you be crushed.
Those who are dead but still enjoy the incense offerings and survive,
Who worships you,
I will let anyone wipe out the whole family!
Don't think I'm threatening with empty words,
If you don't believe in peeling off each other's skins,
Who is it?
It's not like a human being!"
After saying that,
The rainbow disappears.
……
Liu Yumei stood by the window, watching the sunlight shine through the clouds and the sky gradually clearing.
The tears that had been held back for so long finally soaked the eyes.
But she still held on and didn't let the tears really drip down.
Because she knew that no one in this world really cared whether she cried or not.
In the past, when she was still Miss Liu, if she shed a tear casually, her father and brothers would be distressed and circle around her, and the old thing would beg for nothing to play a monkey play for himself, completely ignoring the identity of the young master of the Qin family, just to win himself a tear and laugh.
They are all gone.
He left himself alone.
She knew that the people on the river were still afraid of her, but what was scary was not the former Dragon King Liu or the Dragon King Qin.
Even if he is polite on the surface, he should bow down and bow, but in his heart, he has already opened his stomach.
Joke that she is an old lady in her twilight years, holding on to the plaques of the two dragon kings, just to support the dignity that she is reluctant to give up.
But the plaque is not polished the brighter it is, the more majestic it is.
The plaque must be splashed with blood, and the old blood must be wiped with new blood.
It doesn't matter if you are convinced or not.
Kneel down and raise your head again, what I want to see is the fear and panic in your eyes.
My dignified Miss Liu family, since I was born until I got married, I don't know what the word "grievance" means.
But in the past few decades, you have made me swallow so much.
Let's take a look
This is a great gift I give you.
"This river and lake,
It's time to roll blood and let this lady relieve her anger!"
……
The weather cleared and the rain stopped.
The wife of the old professor next door was scolding the thief God and smashed her TV.
TV is a big deal these days, and she also shouted out the model of the TV, which is still a color TV.
Scolding and scolding, the old woman changed her tone and shouted:
"Why don't you kill that Shi Yuqing!"
Shi Yuqing is a female student that the old professor taught when he was young, and she just divorced this year.
On Li Chaiyuan's side, everyone sat together for lunch and continued to do what they did in the morning.
Ah Li was drawing in the study, she first drew the layout of the ceremony room, and then drew the other people who were present before.
She asked for the last boy to draw, which was very similar to other children of the same age eating cake, finishing the bread first and leaving the last bite for the cherished butter.
Li Chaiyuan watched her paint halfway through, and he went out to pour tea.
On weekdays, Aunt Liu would bring the tea intimately, but now Aunt Liu couldn't do it, and in the afternoon she just taught Yin Meng to cook another dish, which directly made the entire ground floor smoky.
In the end, Liu Yumei cursed and sent them to the house where they used to live outside the school and asked them to teach there.
Li Chaiyuan discovered that Aunt Liu's teaching method was very aptitude, and she actually integrated the principles of poison into her cooking experience and taught Yin Meng in the way of cooking.
This teaching efficiency will definitely be amazingly high.
But it also made Li Chaiyuan secretly write it down, and he had to remind Runsheng not to let Yin Meng approach everyone's kitchen in the future.
As for Runsheng, he is in pain now.
Uncle Qin taught him a set of boxing techniques, and Runsheng was practicing.
Li Chaiyuan was in the house before, and he could hear the sound of Runsheng practicing his bones and muscles.
When the young man came outside the house with a boiling water bottle, he saw that Runsheng was not only bleeding from his seven orifices, but also sweat beads mixed with blood beads all over his body.
"Keep practicing."
After Uncle Qin finished giving the order, he took the initiative to walk towards Li Chaiyuan and explained:
"I'm correcting his previous mistakes and laying the foundation again."
"Hmm."
Li Chaiyuan knew that Uncle Qin had misunderstood, and he might feel that this training method made him feel a little cruel, so he sympathized with Runsheng's situation.
But in fact, Li Chaiyuan not only did not sympathize, but appreciated this intuitive training effect.
Uncle Qin pointed at Runsheng, "When I was at Uncle Li's house, I saw that this kid was extraordinary, but unfortunately, at that time, I couldn't even teach you more."
"Uncle Qin, can I ask you something?"
"Xiaoyuan, you want to ask me how I failed to go to the river in the first place, right?"
"Yes."
"When the time comes, I will tell you, I am not hypocritical, but I can count on you to find revenge for me on those guys."
"No, Uncle Qin, you misunderstood, so I didn't bother to avenge you." Li Zhuyuan stretched out his finger to Run: "You should still count on him."
"Okay, I know, I'll give it to him and practice to death."
