Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past five years, Nan Weifeng passed the imperial examination and was temporarily in charge of Qingquan Academy in the town. He only went to Beijing to take the exam as soon as the autumn examination came this year, in order to strive for fame, glorify the family and revitalize the Nan family.

Over the past five years, Xiao Hairen has become more and more adorable. She is smart and brave, and she doesn't look like a six-year-old child at all. Now Xiao Hairen has his younger brother Nan Haiyi and his younger sister Nan Ping.

Xiao Hairen's grandparents have passed away in the past five years. In the past five years, under the guidance of his mother Liu Shi Yuezi, Xiao Hairen has made great progress and is already familiar with the Thousand Character Classics and the Three Character Classics. He has also learned a lot about the Four Books and Five Classics. Although his family is poor, Xiao Hairen has not delayed his studies at all since childhood, and has learned more than children of the same age. Because Hairen is knowledgeable and memorable, his studies are comparable to those of ordinary children.

On this day, Xiao Hairen finished learning the Analects of Confucius and continued to chop woods outside the town according to his daily habits.

Before leaving, it was already cloudy. Liu shouted to Xiao Hairen, "Son, it's cloudy, and the family is not short of firewood, so don't go."

Xiao Hairen shouted to his mother: "Mom, there is not much firewood at home. Will it rain for a while? I will come back after chopping some, and I won't be wet by the rain. I'm smart." After that, he brought a hatchet and a water bag and walked out of the suppression.

After leaving Qingquan Town, Xiao Hairen habitually walked on a shortcut that he usually found when chopping wood. This path is rarely walked, and it is very hidden. "Ah..." A moan sounded intermittently. Xiao Hairen followed the sound and found a man in gray lying on the side of the road. Out of curiosity, Xiao Hairen walked closer and found that it was an old man in his sixties, who was already dying.

Xiao Hairen hurriedly stepped forward and took the old man into his arms, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, wake up, wake up." At the same time, he took out the water bag he brought and fed the old man a few sips of water. The old man woke up and looked at Xiao Hairen and gasped, "Baby... Thank you, I can't do it anymore... If someone asks if you have seen me, you say no. Even your parents can't say you have seen me, otherwise it will implicate you and your family. When I die, just sprinkle the medicine powder in the jade bottle in my arms on my body... Remember not to touch your own hands or body. There is a book in my arms for you, and there are several small things to give you. You and I have a fate. When you grow up, please send the jade box in my arms to Cangyun Cave in Kongtong Mountain according to the place in my arms. Someone will teach you a unique skill according to the content of the letter."

When the old man said this, his eyes watched Xiao Hairen becoming more and more heartless, and his head tilted and he passed away. Xiao Hairen shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandpa! I promise you!"

Xiao Hairen boldly reached into the old man's clothes and took out an ancient book, a jade box, a jade bottle, a jade pendant, a thick envelope, a small bag and a few scattered silver. According to the old man's instructions, the medicine powder was poured out from the little jade bottle and evenly spread it on the old man's body. After the medicine powder was sprinkled on the old man's body, the old man's body gradually melted little by little, and finally turned into blood and seeped into the ground, with no clothes or hair left.

Xiao Hairen looked at the wet ground and stood blankly for half an hour. A "click" thunder woke Xiao Hairen up. Xiao Hairen, who returned to reality, pinched his thighs with his hands, "Oh!" It hurts very much, it is true, Xiao Hairen, who is only six years old, quickly put the things he picked out from the old man's arms into his arms and ran to home as fast as possible.

Half a mile away just now, three Taoist priests with swords on their backs blocked their way. One of them was wearing a blood-red Taoist robe and asked, "Little kid, have you ever seen a sick and old man?"

Xiao Hairen said: "I didn't see the fairy god."

The Taoist priest from the blood-red Taoist robe asked, "What are you doing when the baby is not staying at home?"

Xiao Hairen said: "The immortals don't know anything. After Hairen recites the book every day, he has to go to the woods to chop firewood. However, today the weather is not beautiful. As it is about to rain, he has to return without success. If the immortals have nothing else, Hairen will take the lead. It will rain soon, and Hairen will not accompany the immortals." After that, Xiao Hairen ran to home.

The three Taoist priests looked at each other, and the blood-red Taoist robe asked, "According to your and my tracking techniques, Huihezi must be near. Junior brothers, let's look for it separately. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find Huihezi." As soon as he finished speaking, a "crack" thunderbolt, heavy rain fell from the sky, and soon the ground was filled with water, and the accumulated water everywhere quickly completely covered the ground that had just been wet with the old man's corpse.

Xiao Hairen's clothes were soaked when she returned home, but the books and letters in her arms were not wet because Xiao Hairen placed them in her armpits to protect them. Liu changed Xiao Hairen's clothes while saying distressedly: "Hairen, if the weather is not good, don't go to collect firewood. You see, you are soaked. What should I do if I get sick?"

Xiao Hairen said: "Mom, it's okay, I'm strong."

Liu said, "Okay, after changing clothes, hurry to the kitchen and drink ginger soup to drive away the cold."

Xiao Hairen said: "Mom, if one person agrees to another person's request, do you have to do everything possible to complete it."

Liu said: "Of course, as long as a man promises others, he must keep his promise. This means that he has faith in his words and must not break his promises. Hairen, remember that without faith, he will not stand."

Xiao Hairen said: "Mom, Hairen understands."

After Xiao Hairen went to the kitchen to drink ginger soup, he returned to his room and took out the ancient book left to him by the old man. He read it. He saw that the book was quite old. The pages were not made of paper, but made of leather. His handwriting was strange and ancient, neither gold nor seal script, and he did not recognize a single word.

Xiao Hairen thought, it seemed that only by finding a way to ask his father for advice, his father should know this kind of text. Then he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He saw that the whole body of the jade pendant was carved from a piece of blue jade, with a lifelike flying cloud crane on it. When the light shone, the cloud crane would show a different flying posture as the angle of the jade pendant was different, and he was holding a treasure. The jade bottle contained the medicine powder that could turn the corpse into water. Although some were used, most of the bottles were still left, so it must be kept well, otherwise it would be bad if it was touched on the body or hands. The whole body of the jade box was carved from a piece of beautiful jade, and there was a faint green light on the jade box. I wanted to open it, but Xiao Hairen had it for a long time and couldn't open it at all, so he gave up. The cloth bag was only the size of a palm, and the weight was very light, but he felt that there were some small things inside.

The letter was very thick, enclosed in a kraft paper envelope without sealing it. Xiao Hairen couldn't help but be curious and opened it and read it. There were two letters written for the "Director" and the other for the "destined person". The letter to the "Director" was: "Senire brother, I got an ancient book in an ancient cave in Kunlun Mountain, but was accidentally discovered by the Demon Sect and sent several groups of masters to surround him. I fought to the Longquan Mountain. Although I saved the ancient book and broke out of the siege, I was injured. What's even more unfortunate is that I seriously injured the Yuanying of the Zifu Palace. I am now in a weak state. Unfortunately, I cannot send back the treasure of the master's sect, "Summer Divine Cauldron" and I have to seal it in a jade box and send it back to the master. When I send someone with fate back to the master, the senior brother can teach him one of the unique skills of the sect according to the request of the visitor and accept him as a registered disciple. I am very grateful. My brother Huihezi paused his head."

Another letter is written to "A man with destiny": If the person who has obtained this letter is a person with destiny, if he can fulfill his last wish for me according to the letter, he can learn a unique skill from my master. Older and ordinary people can prolong their lifespan, and young people can possess supernatural powers. I am the elder Hui Hezi of Cangyun Cave in Kongtong Mountain. I was besieged by the master of the Demon Sect. I was seriously injured and my Taoist foundation was destroyed. My life was still in the morning. However, if the things from the master cannot be sent back to the master, it is a pity. You can send the jade box to the senior brother Yunhe of Cangyun Cave in Kongtong Mountain with a jade pendant, and you can learn a unique skill from this sect. I have not learned why this book has been written yet, but I have passed away because of this. You must keep it well to avoid the guilt of possessing a treasure. A Ruyi bag, the items in the bag are all used by me since my cultivation. I will also give it to you as a reward. Gray Hezi worships."

After reading the letter, Xiao Hairen put the letter back into the envelope, supported his chin with his little hand, frowned and fell into deep thoughts that were very different from his age... How could he not know the parents and do what he promised to the old man? What exactly is the ancient book? Why didn't he recognize a word? It was dark without knowing it. "Ren'er is having supper." Liu's voice came from the main hall. "Mom and child will arrive soon." Hairen replied, walking towards the main hall.

Xiao Hairen sat at the dining table, eating white porridge, and asked his father Nan Weifeng, who had just returned home from Qingquan Academy, "Dad, what dynasty is the non-gold and non-seal characters from? Is there any book in our study that compares the past and the present?"

Nan Wei Feng said: "There are a few books left by your great-grandfather when he was a Hanlin editor in the early years. The font is strange and I can only know seven or eight out of ten as a father. What are you asking about these things?"

Xiao Hairen said: "When the child was picking up an ancient book, he didn't know any of the words in the book, so he had this question."

Nan Weifeng said: "Let me take it later and let me see what kind of book can stump Ren'er. Eat it quickly, the porridge will be cold."

After Xiao Hairen finished picking up an ancient book, he couldn't help but regret it when he thought that the old man wouldn't let him tell his family. But since he had already said it, he could only do so. It seems that he could only think about what method to use. It is the most important thing to convince his parents successfully. With his worries, Xiao Hairen hurriedly finished his meal, returned to his house to collect other things, put the ancient book in his arms, and went to the study to find his father Nan Weifeng. When he entered the study, he saw Nan Weifeng playing with several ancient books, one of which was very similar to the book in his arms.

When Nan Weifeng saw Xiao Hairen coming in, he hurriedly greeted: "Ren'er, these books are the collections of your great-grandfather. There should be a first volume of this book, but your great-grandfather could not collect them all. I heard your grandfather say that your great-grandfather has always regretted it. Because this book is not complete, he has never read it carefully as a father." Xiao Hairen saw that the book his father was referring to was the book that was very similar to the ancient books in his arms, and he felt a sudden thunder in his heart.

Xiao Hairen said: "Dad, I found that ancient books are very similar to this book. I wonder if it is its first volume?"

Nan Weifeng said: "What? If this is true, there will be no such coincidence in the world, right? Let me take it for my father to see it."

Xiao Hairen took out the ancient book from his arms and handed it to Nan Weifeng. Nan Weifeng took the book and put it together with the ancient book he held. He carefully observed the texture of the book, and found that the texture and font of the book were exactly the same as the shape of the text, but Xiao Hairen's book seemed more ancient. Nan Weifeng carefully identified the words on the book with his extensive knowledge and found that the covers of the two books were the first volume of "Chaos Sutra" and the second volume of "Chaos Sutra".

Nan Weifeng is a fan of calligraphy and calligraphy. He is very interested in calligraphy and writing in all dynasties, especially in rare characters. When he saw that these two books were the same, he became very interested.

"Hairen, how about you let Daddy leave this book for the past few days, let Daddy help you translate these two books into modern texts and hand them over to you?" Nan Weifeng said to Xiao Hairen.

Xiao Hairen said: "Then I'll have a lot of luck with Daddy."

That night, Nan Weifeng began the translation of ancient and modern Chinese characters in the study. In this way, apart from handling affairs at Qingquan Academy every day, Nan Weifeng spent the rest of the time in his own study in the cottage.

Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye. Tiannan Weifeng called Xiao Hairen and said, "Hairen, I have translated the ancient and modern texts of these two books. These two books are the original ones, these ancient and modern translations, and have been proofread three times. If you are interested, you can compare the ancient and modern translations of the ancient and modern translations and learn ancient characters by yourself. It is also good to add some experience. I think this is just a collection of miscellaneous masters, including Qi refining, sword refining, formations, treasure appraisal, medicine and divination. You can take a look at it yourself, but don't be addicted to it."

Xiao Hairen said: "Thank you, Dad, I will study ancient characters seriously, and I will definitely not be addicted to this book. Please rest assured."
