Chapter Thirty-Four

When I walked into the backyard, I saw that the candlelight was on in our room from afar. Master and I looked at each other and pushed the room away. Sure enough, the oil lamp was lit, and it was not the only one in the room, my master and Yang Yuanshan.

My uncle and aunt actually sat upright in the candlelight—

After seeing us, my uncle and aunt looked at each other and smiled. I was so sad about Xiao Yue’s incident, and my eyes were still red and swollen. Why did I smile slightly when I saw my master and I?

I was a little puzzled, and I was very puzzled, wondering why my master and aunt appeared in our room.

Even the master next to him smiled slightly, as if he could see the mystery at a glance, but why didn't I understand?

Yang Yuanshan didn't say anything, and found the wooden bench beside him and sat down. Instead, his uncle and aunt kept staring at me. I found that their eyes were still as kind and loving as they were when they first met. I felt warm in my heart. I smiled and asked, "Master, aunt, you guys..."

The master did not speak, but the master's aunt said, "On the seventh day of the lunar month, we have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you are willing?"

I was stunned immediately. What would my aunt have to discuss with me? It would be nice if I am an unlucky person who is not hated by others. There is still something that can be discussed by my uncle and aunt.

Looking at the master Yang Yuanshan next to me, I replied sincerely: "My aunt, I have been an unlucky person whom I have despised and hated since I was a child. Now that the master is taking him in, it is a blessing for the master to take him in. So now that the master is here, the master should listen to the words of the master!"

The auntie smiled and said, "What a good child, then...Far Mountain, I, as my sister-in-law, will not be polite to you. Our Xiao family was originally a miserable daughter who suffered from natural diseases... Maybe this is the punishment God did not listen to the predecessor's warning before going down the mountain. I have saved many people over the years, but I have also earned a lot of fame and fortune. I know that this should not belong to us. Now that our Xiao family has cut off off offspring, Boshan has decided not to use Taoism in the future, so... We see that the child in the seventh day of the lunar month is both smart and filial, and we want to accept it as our adopted son, but I don't know you..."

I was stunned immediately, and a strong sour suddenly rose in my heart. When I looked at my uncle and aunt again, my eyes were inexplicably hot, and two lines of tears flowed out in a daze. It turned out that my uncle and aunt were still here so late, just to recognize me as my adopted son. I know the meaning of the adopted son, which is my godson. Then won’t they become my father and mother in the future? I... can I also have parents like others?

Yang Yuanshan looked back at me, then smiled and shook his head and said, "What did my sister-in-law say? It wasn't my sister-in-law's words. I mean that. Your Xiao family's disaster has passed. If you recognize the Qiqi as your successor now, it will be a blessing in disguise, haha!"

The master hurriedly said excitedly: "Far Mountain, do you not object to this?"

Yang Yuanshan smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course I won't object. But on the seventh day of the lunar month, are you willing to recognize this family and have sex?"

I really don’t know what to say now. I always feel that God has given too much at one time. First, he gave a master, and then he wanted to give me a home, a real home. I... how could I...

I immediately stopped thinking about it, and pounced in front of my uncle and aunt! Kneel down, and then said excitedly: "I have no home since I was a child, no parents or relatives. Now I can be loved by my uncle and aunt. Of course, I am very willing to have such a home, two good parents like you, but..."

My voice was a little choked, and I felt that I didn't want to say these words, but I had to say that I could not harm my uncle's family anymore. I immediately held back my tears and said, "But the seventh day of the lunar calendar is a complete unlucky person. Anyone who has something to do with me will be extremely unlucky. I don't want to, and I dare not harm your family anymore, so... wuwu~~~"

Tears blurred my eyes. I really couldn't say anything anymore. I could only lower my head and shed tears desperately. At this time... a warm palm gently stroked my head, and it was still the feeling of lovingness, which made people's heart very warm and quiet. I really wanted to get up and shout immediately... But I can't...

The aunt's voice was also a little choked, but she said with a smile: "Silly child, how can parents dislike their children? Even if we two old bones accompany you to die, how can we complain?"

My head was blurred, as if I had all kinds of thoughts, and I didn’t seem to have any thoughts. I suddenly raised my head subconsciously, and didn’t care about wiping away the tears on my face. I gritted my teeth and endured the sadness and joy in my heart, and shouted loudly: “Dad! Mom!”

"Oh--good kid, wuwu~~~" Auntie seemed to have been waiting for my cry, and responded almost hoarsely, then hugged me into my arms and cried silently. A pair of warm and heavy arms slowly brought me and my aunt, who is my current mother. In this way, our three people hugged each other and cried in a muffled voice, shedding tears, but I knew that these tears were all happy and joyful...

I don’t know how long it took, but my newly recognized father and mother finally left reluctantly. They originally wanted to pack a better room for me to live in, but I politely declined. I still went to the Tao and lived with my master.

But tonight is destined to be the most beautiful sleepless night in my life. I couldn't stop smiling, but my heart was mixed, with joy, excitement, and worry, that is, will my unlucky fate be implicated in my father and mother? I asked my master Yang Yuanshan. At first, he still smiled but didn't answer, but in the end he fell asleep and ignored me, which taught me that I couldn't sleep even more. This big face always likes to keep it in the dark!

The stars and moon outside are very bright and beautiful. I just think of my current mood, which is very good...

I was confused and I didn't know when I fell asleep. It seemed that I was feeling comfortable when I fell asleep. I felt someone pushing me, and there was a stern voice: "When is it now and I won't get up quickly?! I'll sleep as my teacher, I'll leave you here to enjoy your happiness!"

I suddenly rushed up, squinted my eyes and looked around, and finally stopped on the familiar big face. I immediately got out of bed with a thrill, and smiled apologetically: "Hehe, I was so excited last night. I don't know when I would go to bed. Master, why don't we stay for one more day and leave tomorrow?"

"No!" Yang Yuanshan glared and said, "We should have enjoyed the joy of family, but how can we practitioners become lazy? Besides... we have a little clue now. If we don't hurry up and look for it, we may not get the next treasure!"

I nodded suddenly. I also knew the content of the letter that my master had obtained before. Since someone wrote this letter, I must know where the next treasure was printed. If it was too late, there would be a danger of being stolen, especially the elusive old man!

But what is certain is that the letter was not written by the old man, and he must not know the news that the next treasure was in Tongyao Town, Shanxi. If someone else knows it, then who would this "other" be?

I thought that the world knew that the master was the most famous and powerful Taoist. I didn’t expect that there were hidden dragons and creeping tigers in the world, and there were endless experts...

We washed up and then someone brought delicious breakfast. After dinner, when we packed up and said goodbye to our parents, they were already waiting at the door of the main house.

My mother touched my head kindly and said, "Son, I thought I would let you stay for a few more days, and let us listen to you call us a few more parents, but your father said you have a very important task, so I dare not delay my son's affairs, so... Woo ~~~ Remember to come back more often when you have time in the future..."

My eyes heated up and I choked and shouted, "Don't worry, mom, I will definitely come back to honor your two elders and be your sons for the rest of my life!"

At this time, my father walked forward, his eyes were red and a little black, and he looked even more haggard. He reached out and stuffed something into my hand. I was stunned for no reason. He looked down and saw that it was a dark red wooden sign. My mother smiled at the right time: "Your father knew you were leaving today, so he didn't sleep all night. He made a small sign for you overnight, saying that it would be of great benefit to you."

I slowly stroked the strange turtle-shaped snake shadow on the wooden sign with my fingers. Tears flowed like a broken kite, and I could no longer say anything, so I could only nod in silence.

My father reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said, "This Xuanwu card is also one of the reasons why your master came to me. This card is a god card that has blessed Xuanwu spiritual energy for my father. As long as you wear it on your body, you can suppress your unlucky fate. When you find a way to crack your destiny in the future, you will no longer need to use it, but you must not lose this card during this period!"

I looked at the Xuanwu card in surprise, then at my dad, and said, "Dad, I will not bring bad luck to others in the future?"

After getting my father's affirmation, I still looked at the master behind me in disbelief, but when I saw the master smiling and nodding, I immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Master!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanshan smiled inexplicably and said, "In the future, as long as you don't always say that your teacher is a big shot, haha!"

While moved, I knelt down to my father and mother again and said, "Dad, my mother, this journey is long. You must take care of yourself in the future and be filial to you when you come back!"

After saying that, I kowtowed to the two elders with tears in my eyes—

Seeing me crying, my mother naturally couldn't stop crying. She quickly helped me up, took out a neatly wrapped cloth bag and gave it to me, and said, "Son, you can't help but suffer along the way, and you can't bear it for you. So, there are a few clothes your father wore when he was young, and some travel expenses you have to use on the road. You can bring it with you."

Unexpectedly, the father smiled bitterly and said, "Damn, don't mess around. Didn't you stay up late to sew for your son? Haha! This is your mother's heart, so you can bring it with you."

The last two sentences were for me. I wiped my tears immediately. Before I could say anything, the master was the first to smile and said, "My sister-in-law's kindness moved the distant mountains, and I was taken away by the clothes on the seventh day of the lunar month. But we practitioners are alone. Besides, we are not in the Taoist temple, so we don't want the travel expenses."

Although I enjoyed the warmth of being loved now, my master's fate was as good as a mountain. I hurriedly took out a bulging little money bag and handed it back to me, saying, "Don't worry, with my master here, your son will not starve to death, haha!"

I am also a person who understands the truth. When I heard that the Taoist practitioners had this taboo, I happily took back my wallet. I guess there were at least a few hundred noises inside, hey!

We left like this. I saw my father and mother following us until we left the gate of the manor and left Gupao Town. I saw them standing outside the neighborhood of Gupao Town and staring at me from afar. They did not leave for a long time until we completely left...

I secretly swear in my heart that I will come back to honor the two elders in the future, but what about the future? Who can tell me clearly...
Chapter completed!
