After hearing this, the grandfather who had been sitting silently suddenly said, "After all these years, who would have thought it was still there? Besides, if those bastards hadn't been interested in making money, they wouldn't have done it.
It's like this now. I went to see it that day, and the copper coins used to suppress the corpse were scattered all over the floor. They all asked for it themselves."
"That's what I said, but I can't let it go."
The old Taoist said, sighing, and the three people looked at each other and fell silent for a while.
I was sitting on the side, busy eating, and listening to them talking, I couldn't figure out what kind of mystery was hidden in it.
However, judging from the tone of voice and expressions, it can be inferred that what they are talking about should be related to the corpse demon crawling up from the pit.
Sure enough, after a while their conversation involved the female corpse.
The old Taoist asked Grandpa if the body was still there. Grandpa said that it was burned and buried in a dry well at the end of the village. The old Taoist nodded after hearing this and did not continue to ask further.
When the third grandfather saw this, he changed the subject, stirred the sauerkraut in the pot and asked him why he arrived so late.
The old Taoist sighed deeply and said that he met a colleague on the road and wanted to compete with him. The two were racing and accidentally ran the wrong way.
When I heard this, I couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing and almost choked myself.
Originally, I didn't have a bad impression of him. After listening to storytelling too much, I always felt that all the awesome characters were crazy and slovenly. So, when I first saw him, I thought he had long flowing hair.
The guy with the beard is an outsider like Zhang Sanfeng.
But I didn't expect that at such a juncture, he would say such a painful thing, and at such an old age, he would be racing against others, and he would get sidetracked!
Damn it, can you stop being so ridiculous and ruining your outlook on life?
"Little grandson, what are you laughing at?" Seeing the disdain on my face, the old man laughed, then patted the corner of the table and looked at me with interest.
I ignored him.
He was an elder. If I said something wrong, I would definitely be scolded. I would be a bit embarrassed to compliment him without my conscience. So who said it better? Although I am young, my ambition cannot be small, so I wiped the corner of my mouth resolutely and said nothing.
When the old Taoist saw this, he suddenly laughed. Then he touched his goatee and said with a smile: "You little grandson, don't underestimate people. The poor Taoist ran the wrong way because he ran too fast! He ran up in one breath.
A few hundred miles away, you can try it instead. Besides, I haven’t been here for more than ten years, and the changes here are really big. If it weren’t for the Pindao Stargazing Association, I still wouldn’t be able to find your home.”
Damn it, when I heard this, I felt that this guy was even more unreliable.
After running hundreds of miles in one night, it can't go that fast if it's being dragged by a train! You can't bully a child like this. If Xiangqing brags during the day, he won't be afraid of blowing his bullshit!?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw him hit him with a chestnut, and then the old guy squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "Who is bluffing you? Monks don't lie."
"Pull it down..."
When I heard this, I had a dark look on my face. Monks don't lie, but monks don't lie. It's none of your business!
Just when I thought of this, the old Taoist gave me another look, then he shook his finger and said seriously: "Who told you that only monks don't lie? All Taoists are like this."
"Get lost..."
Staring at him silently, I was speechless at his sophistry.
Who would have thought that as soon as this thought came out, the old man gave me another look, and then said to me with a straight face: "You have learned to slander yourself. At such a young age, you can speak without restraint!"
I'm crazy...
This time I was completely confused, staring at him with fear in my heart.
What? You can guess it even if I don’t say it out loud?
"Yes." Seeing this, the old Taoist nodded very proudly, then sat crookedly in front of the table, knocked on his porcelain bowl and said with a smile, "I have the ability to read minds, I know everything you think."
"Hey, you're so awesome." I was scornful in my heart. I didn't believe it at all, but even so, I still wanted to flatter him by saying "You're so awesome."
These days, life is hard, and I always greet you with a smile. I knew how to do this when I was less than ten years old.
Unexpectedly, my smiling face did not deceive him. When the old man saw that my smile was so fake, he bared his big teeth and said to Grandpa, "This guy is not a thing. A big kid is just telling the truth. If I wait for a few years, he will become a genius."
No."
"Haha." When grandpa heard this, he smiled and quickly picked up the wine glass and changed the subject, "Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. You don't know, his parents are busy, and this child has been following us. You, San'er, have no virtue.
I don’t know, this is all because of his bad teachings!”
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about!" When the third grandfather heard this, his old face turned red and he waved his hands, "You are born with it, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Pull him down, I don't know you yet..." The old Taoist really knew everything. When he heard this, he immediately curled his lips, and then indirectly revealed various old secrets that Third Grandpa had hidden for many years.
The anecdotes and embarrassing stories are all kept secret by the third grandfather. When I heard them, I felt very happy.
I can’t remember clearly what happened after that, but I saw Third Grandpa messing around in an awkward manner. Not to mention, the old man was quite capable, so he brought the topic back for some reason.
When the third grandfather saw this, he quickly smoothed things over. While saying that he was young and energetic and ignorant, he also said that the old Taoist had great powers and all kinds of awesomeness.
The old man was greatly impressed by what he heard, and he accidentally began to babble. Under the influence of alcohol, he said a lot of irrelevant things.
I was young at the time and didn’t understand much. I only remember that it contained some speculations about heaven’s numerology.
While chatting, the third grandpa asked him if he could make a prediction for himself to see what his fortune would be like in the past few years. When the old man heard this, his expression changed, and then he waved his hand and said that if he revealed the secret, he would be punished by God, and he would not have been able to close the mountain long ago.
Done.
As soon as he finished speaking, Grandpa was puzzled and said, "If you don't predict fortunes, how do you live?"
The veteran's answer is simple and concise: "Catch monsters."
As soon as he finished speaking, the third grandfather said with a smile, "I have been catching monsters all my life. Look at you now, aren't you still the same as before?"
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist waved his hands quickly, then leaned on the corner of the table and muttered to himself.
He said that when he was young, he leaked the secrets of heaven, violated the precepts of his ancestors, and tried to change the fate of heaven by himself, which was why he ended up in this pitiful end of poverty today.
Now that I am older and have awakened, I have long been indifferent to money and fame. At this moment, I don’t have much pursuit. I just hope to do more good deeds in my lifetime and at least make up for the many mistakes I made back then.
Seeing that he was serious about what he said, I was very surprised. I knew he could tell fortunes, but I didn't know that he had the ability to change the destiny. So I asked him what he had done and that he had to spend the rest of his life repaying it.
