When Lin Yi was nine years old, he often had fevers for no apparent reason. At first, his parents thought it was a cold. They took medicine and injections for two days and then got the fever again, but it never got better. Later, he went to a big hospital. The doctor gave Lin Yi a very comprehensive examination, but nothing was found.
any problem.
Later, I went to see a Chinese medicine doctor.
The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine didn't have any good ideas. The doctor finally gave his parents an idea and asked them to take Lin Yi to find someone to call him.
The so-called calling means collecting the soul.
In ancient Chinese medicine, there was a "Zhuyoushu" technique, which can collect souls. Nowadays, most Chinese medicine practitioners who have graduated from medical schools have only heard of it, but few know how to do it.
Emergency medical treatment,
My parents decided to give it a try, but the doctor said that they should only find people with real abilities, not charlatans.
There is a distant uncle in my mother's natal family. It is said that he became a monk in a Taoist temple when he was young. During special times, he returned to his hometown to participate in labor.
The old man never got married and had no children.
Occasionally there is a child in the village who cries incessantly. As long as he touches it, it will be cured. People will give money and things to the old man and they will not accept it.
When Lin Yi met the old man, he was already over seventy years old. His hair was gray and his face was beardless. Although he was dressed in plain cloth, he gave the impression that he was very energetic.
According to seniority, Lin Yi should be called uncle.
The old man looked at Lin Yi's condition and stroked Lin Yi's head for a while. Lin Yi fell asleep in his mother's arms.
The old man looked at Lin Yi's parents and said: "There is nothing wrong with this child's body. The problem lies in his soul. He was born with a weak soul, so he has a fever for no reason. Please tell me the child's horoscope."
Parents reported Lin Yi’s date of birth.
The old man counted with his fingers, "This child is destined to be a boy!"
"Uncle, what is a boy's destiny?" Lin Yi's mother asked.
The old man glanced at Lin Yi, who had red lips, white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows, and said slowly, "The so-called boy's destiny is that in his previous life, he was a boy in heaven, or a boy next to a god or bodhisattva. He was either demoted for making mistakes, or came to the mortal world to experience, and was reincarnated into the human world."
"Most people who are destined to be boys are good-looking. Look at your boy, it can be said that he has inherited the best qualities of you and your wife."
The couple looks the same, and Lin Yi has been praised for his good looks since he was a child.
The old man continued,
"People born as boys are intelligent, but most of them are weak and sick since childhood, and often suffer from some strange diseases. This is because they are immortal bodies and are polluted by worldly colors, sounds, smells, tastes, and the five dusts of contact, so they are prone to diseases.
"
"People who are destined to be boys often have trouble in marriage. They are naturally handsome and have a strong rapport with the opposite sex, but their marriages often don't go well. It's common for them to have second, third, or even no marriages."
At this point, the old man paused for a moment, glanced at Lin Yi again, and then continued: "The most important thing is that people who are destined to be children generally have a short life span, and they often encounter disasters in their lives, because they may be recalled at any time, especially if they are born as children.
It’s the beginning of the year 369.”
After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Yi's mother suddenly felt anxious, "Uncle, is there any way to solve it?"
The old man thought for a while, then took out the bronze amulet he carried with him from his neck and handed it over, "When you go back, find a new red rope and tie it on and hang it on the child."
The three of them continued chatting, and Lin Yi fell asleep. When he woke up, his original high fever miraculously subsided.
Lin Yi's parents took out 500 yuan, but the old man refused to accept it.
From then on, Lin Yi had a protective bronze medal in his neck. Lin Yi no longer had inexplicable fevers and was in good health. He grew to 1.8 meters in his senior year of high school.
Lin Yi's mother thanked her uncle in her heart. When she returned to her parents' home during the holidays, she would visit the old man. Lin Yi would also follow her mother to visit this uncle.
Even when he stayed at his grandma's house during the holidays, Lin Yi would also go to his uncle's house to play.
There are several kinds of fruit trees planted in the old man's yard, such as orange trees, jujube trees, pomegranates, and figs. Whenever they are ripe, Lin Yi will pick them and eat them himself without any ceremony.
As he grew older, Lin Yi gradually became wiser and learned about his childhood fate, and asked about the origin of the bronze medal on his chest.
The old man told him that the bronze medal came from Longhu Mountain and should have a history of one or two hundred years. It was enshrined by incense and blessed by a high-level master. It has become a Taoist magic weapon, which has the effect of protecting life, protecting body, clearing the mind and reassuring the soul.
Lin Yi asked about the boy's life again.
The old man shook his cattail leaf fan and said softly, "Destiny has its own arrangements."
"I was watching a movie, and someone in it said, 'My fate is up to me.'" Lin Yi said.
The old man smiled and shook his head: "'My destiny is up to me and I can't help it.' This sentence comes from the "Wuzhen Pian" written by Ziyang Zhenren in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Once it enters my belly, I realize that my fate is not determined by fate."
"It's not easy to achieve 'My destiny is up to me and I cannot control it'. Unless you practice to the legendary 'Golden Elixir Realm', you may be able to control your own destiny. But through the ages, there are several people who have achieved the Golden Elixir. They are all Lu Zu, Peng Zu,
A person like Patriarch Sanfeng."
"It's better than Zhuge Wolong. He is a scholar of heaven and man. He has calculated his own destiny not long ago. Even if he wants to go against the will of heaven and change his destiny, he cannot do it. In the end, he will die in Wuzhangyuan."
Lin Yi was a little stunned when he heard this.
The old man looked at Lin Yi and then said with a smile: "Don't think so much. In fact, those are just feudal superstitions. Now that science is prosperous, you must believe in science and study hard in the future."
As he spoke, he gently stroked Lin Yi's head.
...
When Lin Yi was in his second year of high school, he passed away at the age of 84.
The day before his death, the old man called his nephew and made some arrangements, and then passed away peacefully.
After Lin Yi learned the letter, he immediately rushed to Laolao Village with his parents. He told his parents that he wanted to bury the old man. His parents agreed, and Lin Yi wore hemp and mourning and carried the coffin to the old man's burial.
After the funeral,
The old man's eldest nephew, Lin Yi's cousin, called Lin Yi and gave him something, saying that the old man had ordered it to be given to Lin Yi before he died.
a small wooden box,
The box is just ordinary wood. There are several thread-bound books in the box, including "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi", "Tao Te Ching", "Qing Wei Dan Jue", "Qing Wei Zhai Fa", and "Tao Fa Hui Yuan Lei Fa Pian".
My cousin patted the rattan rocking chair next to him again and said to Lin Yi: "Your uncle said before he left that he would also give you this rocking chair."
The old man often sits on this rattan rocking chair and sleeps with a cattail fan and Lin Yi also likes to lie on it, it's very comfortable.
The rocking chair had turned yellow and had patina on the surface, making it look very old. The rattan rocking chair was not valuable, but it was extremely precious to Lin Yi. He asked his father to find an electric tricycle to take him home and put it in his house.
inside.
This is why he put a rattan rocking chair in the store, because he likes the feeling of reading in the rattan rocking chair.
He also read through the Taoist scriptures given to him by his uncle.
They are all in traditional Chinese, and I don’t know many of them. The content of Taoist scriptures is even more obscure and difficult, and even if I understand the words, I still don’t understand the meaning.
In addition to the high pressure of studying in high school, these books were put in boxes.
...
Before the college entrance examination.
Lin Yi's academic performance is very good. He is the top student in the school and is expected to be admitted to 211,985 colleges.
But on the day of the college entrance examination, he suddenly developed a high fever.
After taking the exam with a high fever, many people were very disappointed after Lin Yi's results came out. His score was only enough to apply for two books.
The teacher advised him to review for one year, otherwise it would be a shame.
His parents asked him what he thought.
Lin Yi suddenly thought of the old man's words, a boy's life is full of disasters.
Maybe there is a plan somewhere!
If I repeat my studies, who knows if I will encounter other things next year, such as flash floods, tsunamis, mudslides, or as small as a car accident and falling oversleeping.
In the end, Lin Yi persuaded his parents to give up repeating his studies and enrolled in an ordinary second-tier college to study economics and management.
In his third year of college, his father suffered a herniated disc in his waist at a construction site and was unable to do heavy work ever since. Fortunately, Lin Yi started working part-time in his sophomore year and persisted until graduation.
After my father recovered from his injury, he and his mother reclaimed two acres of land to grow vegetables at the foot of Ziliu Mountain. They would get some vegetables every morning and drive a tricycle to the city to sell them. When the season came, they could also dig up some mountain products. Lin Yi also went to work.
The conditions have been alleviated a lot.
But just after a year or two of peaceful life, my mother suddenly suffered a stroke, and the family situation took a turn for the worse again.
He works during the day and runs express delivery at night. He just hopes to make more money and pay off foreign debts as soon as possible so as not to worry the people who lend him money.
in those days,
He also once thought of what his uncle said, a boy's destiny is to come down to experience, and he will encounter many disasters in his life.
If that's the case,
He didn't want this disaster to happen to his parents and relatives. Since it was an experience for me, it would be best for it to happen to me.
He had also asked his uncle before:
"Uncle, can this boy's life be ruined?"
"Those on the market who say they can break a boy's life are just pretentious and deceitful. How can fate be so easy to change? If they can do it, why not change their own life first? Unless they meet a great opportunity, it will be possible.
Go against heaven and change your destiny.”
Lin Yi silently thought about the system panel.
A blue light curtain appeared in front of me.
Player: Lin Yi.
Wallet: 182838 yuan.

With a game system that can take you through time, do you think you have encountered a great opportunity that can change your life?!
