Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

They walked up to the top of Junshan Mountain along one of the paths, and there was a simple and dilapidated stone table hidden deep in the bamboo forest. The eight paths converged under the octagonal stone table, just forming a Tai Chi Eight Diagrams formation, which seemed to be some kind of special formation. Law.In normal times, Qi Buyang would definitely study this gossip formation carefully, but now, he only remembers what Lin Huaigan said at the foot of the mountain——

"It's here that I met your mother for the first time."

He seldom heard a single word about his parents, and now he managed to catch some clues, so of course he didn't want to let them go.

"Uncle Lin, what kind of person is my mother?"

Lin Huaigan smiled slightly after hearing this, "Su Wan is a beautiful woman. She is very smart, loves to laugh, never gets angry, and likes to wear skirts. By the way, she also likes to draw. When I saw her, She just sits here and draws." As he spoke, he walked to the stone table, gently stroked the rough surface, his eyes were gentle, as if he saw the scene at that time again.

Following his description, the figure of the ghost hidden deep in the Qi family compound suddenly appeared in Qi Buyang's mind. Is it her?If it was really her, why didn't she admit it?

"When you saw her, what did you say?" He still wanted to know more about his mother, and looked eagerly at Lin Huaigan.But Lin Huaigan shook his head, pointed to a path extending from the bamboo forest and told him: "I stood there and watched for a long time, but in the end I still didn't dare to come over and talk to her."

Luo Lang, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly let out a laugh, and commented: "It's useless."

Lin Huaiqian was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed, as if filled with endless annoyance and regret, "You are right. If I had stepped forward at that time, maybe the ending would not have been..." He did not continue, Qi Buyang couldn't wait. Follow up: "Then what happened?"

"Later?" Lin Huaiqian said with a wry smile, "I saw her again a year later, at the Qi family's ancestral home. At that time, she was married to your father, and she was pregnant with you in the second year. Brother Qi died before giving birth. Your mother actually died before she gave birth to you completely, so you..."

"Is my father really killed by a ghost?"

Lin Huaigan's expression became a little complicated. After a moment of silence, he said vaguely: "I don't know the details, so I'll ask your grandfather."

Qi Buyang pursed his lips and said nothing. He had asked his grandfather and uncle Qi a long time ago, but they also had the same attitude. They only said that they were killed by evil spirits, which is why grandpa hated ghosts so much, but they didn't know what the real situation was like. .

Lin Huaigan wanted to touch his head, but just as he stretched out his hand, he saw Luo Lang's eyes, and put his hand down again, and only said: "Xiaoyang, don't be sad, your mother said, this is fate . " Ben said words of comfort, but when the words came to an end, the emotion in his eyes was more painful than anyone else.

Qi Buyang shook his head, showing a faint smile, "I'm fine, I just want to know more about them." Perhaps his smiling face resembled the dead Su Wan, Lin Huaiqian stared at him blankly, unable to say for a long time Come on.

"Uncle Lin? Uncle Lin!"

Qi Buyang yelled twice, Lin Huaiqian shook, and finally came back to his senses, the black suit next to him quickly helped him to sit down at the stone table.He sighed silently, and said: "Xiaoyang, it's getting late, you should go back first."

"then you……"

"I still want to stay here for a while."

Qi Buyang nodded, and obediently dragged Luo Lang away.

On the way back, Qi Buyang was in a low mood all the time, Luo Lang thought it must be Lin Huai's fault, who told him to keep bringing up the dead.

"Mr. Luo." Just as he was thinking about what to do with Lin Huaigan, Qi Buyang suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"People around me, grandpa, uncle Qi, uncle Lin, and auntie, they all talked to my mother, but I didn't. I don't even know what she looks like."

Luo Lang shrugged nonchalantly, "Me neither."

Qi Buyang couldn't help laughing, "I suddenly feel better when you say that."

"Why?" Luo Lang was puzzled. He always couldn't understand the unpredictable emotions of human beings. Although he had improved a lot after following Qi Buyang and watching a lot of soap operas, he was still often confused.

Qi Buyang shrugged like him, "I don't know either."

"You humans are so strange."

"..."

Just talking incoherently, when they returned to Qi's house, the sun was already setting.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped through the door, the housekeeper rushed over and told him: "Master, there are guests waiting for you."

Qi Buyang was a little surprised, it was dinner time, usually no guests would come to the door, but the Qi family never had a reason to drive away guests, so he had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the living room, but Luo Lang blocked his way.

"eat first."

"I'm not hungry."

"You are hungry."

"Customers are more important."

Luo Lang's face approached inch by inch, and the "friendly" smile on his face made Qi Buyang inexplicably goosebumps, only listening to Master Luo's emphasis word by word: "You, hungry."

"But..." Before he could refute, Luo Lang's stomach seemed to have been activated by some spell, and he let out a grunt in a very cooperative manner. Qi Buyang was stunned in place, his face flushed.

The almighty housekeeper Qi appeared at the right time, "Master, here are some snacks, do you want to have some first?"

Qi Buyang looked at him gratefully, quickly took one and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in three or two gulps, turned his head and said to Luo Lang: "Mr. .”

Luo Lang glanced at Butler Qi who was holding up the tray, and the other party had an expression of "If you make things difficult for my young master, I'll put this plate of dim sum on your face", thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I'll wait for you to eat together. "Speaking, he also took a piece of mung bean cake from under the nose of Butler Qi and threw it into his mouth.

Qi Buyang ignored him, and rushed to the living room while chewing his snacks.

Waiting for him was a thin middle-aged woman. Seeing them coming in, she quickly stood up and said hello, "Master."

"Hello..." Qi Buyang wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he found that the dessert hadn't been swallowed, and a lot of snack crumbs fell out before he finished speaking. Now, his cheeks were burning hot, he was ashamed, and there was only one sentence left in his head: it's over, it's over, he's lost the old face of the Qi family, this is the moment when his career ends...

The lady opposite didn't care much, she is a person who believes in fortunetelling, and the Qi family has a high reputation in the industry, so she firmly believes that this young master must have some extraordinary skills, even though he looks very young and covers his eyes. The bright red ears can still be seen between the fingers of the face.

Master Luo rolled his eyes at the happy onlookers, Qi Butler hurriedly brought tea to his young master, Qi Buyang drank half a cup before swallowing the snacks in his mouth together with the embarrassment just now, trying to look up with a sullen face and meet the guests , Only then did I realize that the woman's expression was not relaxed, even with obvious sadness. Her attention was obviously not on the farce just now.

"Master, this is my daughter's birth date, please do the math for her." She handed over a note.

Qi Buyang nodded, stretched out his hand to take it, and asked, "What is it?"

"Life." When she said these two words, her eyes were a little dull, revealing a touch of despair and deep anxiety.

Qi Buyang looked down at the note in his hand, frowned immediately, raised his eyes to look at the woman on the opposite side, and calculated carefully again, making sure that he was right, then hesitantly said: "I want to ask, do you Is your daughter... still alive?"

The woman froze for a moment and nodded.

"But this person with the horoscope should have reached the end of his life." After speaking, Qi Buyang realized that it seemed not good to be so blunt, and was afraid that the other party would be angry, but the woman didn't seem surprised, she just sighed lightly, with A bit of resignation, "Really? You said that too." She thought for a while, then took out another note and handed it over, "You can do the math again, this is my other daughter's horoscope."

Qi Buyang calculated it again, showing a surprised expression. He put the two pieces of paper side by side on the table, thinking carefully, and looked a little distressed.

The woman leaned over impatiently and asked, "How is it? Is this still alive?"

Qi Buyang nodded, "This is the horoscope of a stranger."

The woman lowered her eyes and said in a voice that only she could hear: "I knew it."

"But these two horoscopes are very similar, there must be some kind of special connection between them." Seeing that the other party was a little puzzled, Qi Buyang put it another way: "Let's ask this, are they just ordinary sisters?"

"They're twins, if that's what you're asking."

Qi Buyang encouraged her to continue talking.

"Although my two daughters are twins, only one is healthy, and the other is born with amblyopia. Gradually, she can't see anything, and her body is relatively weak. Fortunately, the two children have a very good relationship. What do they do? They are all together, inseparable all day long. The healthy one is the older sister, and she has taken care of the younger sister, and nothing has happened to her. But at the age of school, for the sake of the children, they can only be separated, and one will be sent to an ordinary primary school. One was sent to a special school for the blind.

We were also busy at work at that time, so we asked my elder sister to pick up my younger sister after school every day, and then the two of us went home together.They are all sensible children, especially the elder sister, who is very reliable, and we are also very relieved, and it has been like this for several years.But one day, something happened..."

The woman's eyes were red, and she covered her face guiltily: "When school was over that day, her sister was delayed by something at school. She first waited at the school gate, but no one came for a long time. She probably wanted to go home first. road……"

She was so choked up that she couldn't continue, but everyone present understood.

"I'm sorry to remind you of these things again." Qi Buyang apologized softly.

The woman calmed down a little, shook her head, raised her face and said, "Although I came here today, it is related to this matter, but it is not for this matter."

"That's for?"

"I always feel," the woman said with some hesitation: "Since that accident, the child who survived has become a little bit wrong... At first I thought that she had just lost her younger sister, and she must have to get used to it, but once Year after year, she has grown up gradually, but that strange feeling has not disappeared, and even made me more and more concerned. I mentioned it to my husband, he just said that the child suffered such a blow in childhood, and his temperament It's normal to change, let me stop thinking about it, and I will deliberately forget about it.

But not long ago, the child's health became worse and worse. Although her health has been in poor health since the accident, and she has been taking good care of her for so many years, I am still very worried.Seeing that the medicine did not improve, I was anxious, so I went to the temple to burn incense and pray for her. It happened that there was a fortune teller there, so I asked him to do the calculation to see if there was any way to solve it.But when he saw the child's horoscope, he said that I deliberately ruined his business, so why let him count the horoscope of a dead person.I explained to him, but he didn't listen, and he refused to do my business anymore.

Later, I went to see a master, and he also said that it was the horoscope of a dead person, and it could not be of a living person.But my daughter is still alive!The master said, let me ask the Qi family to see if you also say the same, so I came to you. "

Qi Buyang frowned, "So you're saying that the horoscope that has passed away on this piece of paper belongs to your surviving daughter, while the horoscope that shows alive here belongs to the daughter who has passed away?"

The woman nodded and asked nervously, "Master, do you think you will..."

"This is unusual," Qi Buyang interrupted her, and said frankly: "I have never encountered it before, and I probably have to see your daughter with my own eyes to know the answer."

The woman agreed again and again, and immediately stated: "I will bring her over tomorrow."
