Grandpa's expression was serious. After being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"I told you three things before I died. Although there were some mistakes, the overall job was done well. But I'm afraid this Li Sigou will be difficult to control in the future!"
"Grandpa, you are really controlling Li Sigou. What's going on with him?" I asked.
"Otherwise! This bastard almost ruined my Feng Shui!" Grandpa scolded.
I said oh and suddenly thought of a question.
"Grandpa, Li Sigou became a drought demon, but where is your coffin? How can I follow you to the grave in the future?" I asked quickly.
Grandpa was slightly startled, obviously he didn't expect me to ask such a question.
"This matter is not important, let's just say it is!" Grandpa said.
I glanced at Grandpa and felt that he was deliberately changing the topic.
"Xiaojiu, I still have three things to tell you this time. You must remember them clearly and you must complete them no matter what. Do you understand?"
"Grandpa, tell me, I will do it well this time!" I said.
Grandpa nodded, "Will you take the merit I leave you with?"
"Take it with you!"
I quickly took out the merit book left by my grandfather from my bag. I was slightly surprised.
I didn't expect that the first thing my grandfather told me was related to it. It seemed that this thing must be very important, but I had never taken it seriously before.
"Grandpa, there doesn't seem to be anything up there!" I said.
Grandpa looked at his poor merits, and a smile appeared on his old face, "Silly boy, this thing is the most precious treasure of our Zhang family!"
"The most precious treasure?" I was slightly surprised.
"Yes, this is the hard work of eight generations of our Zhang family, including your father."
"Eight generations of people have worked hard, and this is it?" I couldn't believe it.
Grandpa nodded, "There are merits of life and death between Yin and Yang. The underworld holds the book of life and death, and the Yang world has the book of merits. The book of life and death records the life and longevity of the person in Yang. The book of merits can carry merits and help cultivate the great road. Do you think this is a treasure?" Grandpa?
asked.
My grandfather's words aroused my curiosity, and I couldn't help but start to look over the merit book in my hand, but I still couldn't find anything unusual in it after looking left and right.
"Grandpa, you can't see anything here?" I asked.
Grandpa smiled slightly and said, "Silly boy, of course you can't see what's inside. This merit book is not an ordinary object. This is something that the first generation of our Zhang family spent a lifetime to obtain, and kept it at Qingyun Temple in Longhu Mountain.
Under the witness of the master of the temple, Master Qingyun, those who have made a contract with heaven have the power of heaven in them. How can you see it with your naked eyes?"
I was even more surprised. I didn't expect that this small merit book had such a big origin.
Grandpa continued: "The reason why our Zhang family has kept it from generation to generation is because the first generation of great-great-grandfather had long known that our Zhang family would have such a day, so it all started from that time, for the descendants of our Zhang family.
Accumulate merit and eventually complete the continuation of the incense."
I still have some vague understanding of it.
Grandpa went on to say: "The first thing Grandpa asks you to do is to go to the top of Mount Tai, practice Zen, and unlock the power of the merits accumulated by our eight generations. By then, you will have the merits of eight generations, although it is not enough.
If you have cultivated a great path, it will at least be enough to prevent you from falling back. With this confidence, I feel relieved, and you will have to do a lot of the rest by yourself."
I couldn't help but take a breath of air and thought to myself, how much merit do you need to accumulate? You can avoid falling into reincarnation!
But then Grandpa said with some worry: "What I'm most worried about now is that someone will rob you of your merit and good fortune."
"Who? Can I still steal this thing?" I asked in surprise.
"Why can't you rob it? Feng Shui treasure points can be robbed, heaven and earth luck can be robbed, and the power of merit can naturally be robbed. When the time comes, you must ask more experts to help you. After all, our Zhang family has many enemies who secretly covet them.
There are more people, the two realms of Yin and Yang, demons and monsters, I don’t know how many people there are, this is what I am most worried about!”
Grandpa's face was full of worry.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will improve my strength. When one day I am strong enough, it will not be too late to unlock the power of these merits!" I said.
Unexpectedly, grandpa shook his head gently, "This is the second thing I want to tell you. You don't have much time."
"What do you mean?" I asked a little confused.
Grandpa sighed, "There are conditions for unlocking the power of these merits, that is, you must marry Hu Qiu, and before you obtain the power of merit, you and her cannot have a marital relationship."
My face turned red, "Grandpa, you are thinking too much!"
"Humph, you young people today have unrestrained and unrestrained personalities. If you can guarantee that one day the fire will not burn up, I will give you another vaccination."
I curled my lips, feeling that grandpa was making a fuss out of a molehill.
I have always had good control over matters involving men and women, and I have a very traditional personality.
"But Grandpa, do Hu Qiu and I have to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival?"
"Yes, it must be the Double Ninth Festival."
"Why?" I asked.
"I don't have time to tell you the specific reason. You can ask Xiaoqiu's girl, she will tell you everything." Grandpa said.
Okay, let’s start playing football again! I was speechless.
I sighed helplessly and could only suppress this question in my heart. When I went back to ask Hu Qiu in person, I just hoped that this girl would not make any excuses.
Grandpa saw that I was a little depressed, so he didn't say anything to comfort me. Instead, he just looked up at the night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, when my grandfather didn't speak, I finally couldn't help but ask him, "What is the third thing?"
I don’t know why, but as soon as this question came out, I felt something was wrong with my grandfather’s mood, and he instantly became a little gloomy and sharp!
I looked at him in surprise. This image was completely different from what I had in mind. This was the first time I saw my grandfather exuding such a terrifying and eerie feeling.
I couldn't help but be surprised, what was the third thing? It actually made my grandfather's mood so violent.
After a while, grandpa slowly spoke.
"Xiao Jiu, I have been hesitating whether to let you do this third thing because it is too dangerous. Grandpa, I am worried that something unexpected will happen to you."
"What's going on?" Grandpa piqued my interest.
Seeing that grandpa still didn't speak, I said again: "Grandpa, our profession is a dangerous one in itself. There is nothing to be afraid of. Just tell me, I'm ready!"
