Just as Zhou Xiaotian was about to open his mouth to speak, he choked back his words with a violent cough, and a trace of extremely unhealthy red appeared on his pale face.
Ye Tian stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Xiaotian's left arm and said, "Give me your left hand!"
"what are you doing?"
Zhou Xiaotian was startled and subconsciously retracted his hand, but his movements were not as fast as Ye Tian's. When he pinched Taiyuan point, half of his body felt numb and he fell to the bed.
"This is an injury to the lung meridian, and the injury is not serious!"
Putting his fingers on Zhou Xiaotian's wrist and checking his pulse for a while, Ye Tian said with a serious face: "If you continue like this, you will only have half a year to live at most!"
There is an article in "Lingshu Meridian": The lungs are full and distended, causing wheezing and coughing. If left untreated, people will soon cough up blood and die. The ancients also called it tuberculosis.
With the advancement of modern medicine, this kind of disease is no longer a terminal illness and can be cured as long as it is hospitalized for a period of time. However, seeing Zhou Xiaotian's miserable appearance, Ye Tian probably didn't even have money for food, let alone medical treatment.
Ye Tian could understand living in such a guest house to avoid being noticed, but the mustard steamed buns on the table showed that Zhou Xiaotian's finances were really not very rich. Ye Tian didn't know where all the money he earned went.
"Can you live for half a year? That's enough!" Zhou Xiaotian had a sad smile on his face. Judging from his age, he was about the same age as Ye Tian, but he gave people the feeling that he had experienced the vicissitudes of the world.
Ye Tian asked strangely: "Isn't this disease difficult to treat? It's enough to spend thousands of dollars in hospital. You don't want to see me?"
"No money!" Two words popped out of Zhou Xiaotian's mouth.
"I said you deserve a beating, right? Where's the thirty thousand you earned from me last time?"
Ye Tianchang is so old that others have always been a headache for him. This time, he has met his nemesis. He also feels helpless in his heart towards the person who talks nonsense.
Zhou Xiaotian looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He glanced at Ye Tian and said, "See a doctor, give it to my mother!"
"He is a filial son, huh?"
Ye Tian carefully looked at Zhou Xiaotian's face, and after deducing it in his mind, he said: "You lost your father when you were young. Your father died early and you stay at home to take care of your mother. However, your mother is blind in middle age. You are in this line of work out of helplessness, right?
"
"You...how do you know?!" Zhou Xiaotian, whose face had always been calm and seemed to be unable to interest him in anything, finally changed his expression after hearing Ye Tian's words.
Ye Tian smiled and said: "Judging from your face, you should be a member of the Qi family according to your family history. You don't believe this, right?"
Zhou Xiaotian's forehead is extremely high, and his forehead is the Qian hexagram in the Eight Diagrams, which means he is the king's father. Therefore, it is said that his high forehead may hurt his father.
In modern times, the most typical person with this appearance is that great man. He is a man with a very high fortune and a high forehead. He has been outstanding since he was a child. His father likes to belittle him. The two of them were at odds, and his father also had a bad relationship in his early years.
dead.
"You robbed the tomb to treat your mother's illness?" After seeing Zhou Xiaotian's face, Ye Tian had some changes in his view of him.
Zhou Xiaotian nodded silently and said: "Mom can't see in both eyes. She needs a cornea transplant. The hospital said it will cost 80,000 yuan. I...I don't have enough money!"
Perhaps because Ye Tian spoke to his mind, Zhou Xiaotian spoke a lot more than before, at least it didn't sound so awkward.
"Ye Tian, I opened the Yin point, I didn't mean it!" Zhou Xiaotian suddenly raised his head and said, "I can't seal it, you... can you help me?"
Zhou Xiaotian also came from a family background, and he knew that if the Yin acupoint was opened and all living beings were devastated, then the karmic retribution would not only fall on him, but even his blind mother might suffer.
So for the sake of his mother, Zhou Xiaotian bowed his head to Ye Tian. Although he didn't know how deep Ye Tian's attainments in magic were, he could see the evil spirit in the Suzaku lamp he sold last time with his naked eyes. This method allowed him to
He was beyond reach.
After hearing Zhou Xiaotian's words, Ye Tian said noncommittally: "Tell me about your situation first, I don't just help people!"
Although Ye Tian has already been involved in this matter, he must take care of it, but he still needs to know the specific origin of Zhou Xiaotian, otherwise he will just meddle in a nosy matter.
Zhou Xiaotian originally wanted not to say anything, but seeing Ye Tian's determined look, he lowered his head and said, "I am a descendant of Zhou Dunyi."
Ye Tian was surprised when he heard this and asked: "Zhou Dunyi of the Northern Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, I am ashamed of my ancestors!" Zhou Xiaotian lowered his head, but Ye Tian could understand his mood at this time.
Zhou Dunyi, also known as Maoshu and Lianxi, was a famous philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was recognized as the founder of Neo-Confucianism in academic circles. Zhou Dunyi came from Chungling and wrote "Tai Chi Illustrations" and "Tongshu", inferring the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
The person whose surname is given by heaven is as clear as the palm of his hand.
In fact, Zhou Dunyi was not highly respected by people during his lifetime, and his academic status was not high. People only knew that he was "excellent in political affairs", especially "aspirational to mountains and forests", free and easy-minded, and had an immortal spirit, but no one knew his Neo-Confucianism
Thought.
Later, Nan'an Tong sentenced Cheng Taizhong and sent his two sons Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi to his sect. The latter two Chengs were both famous Neo-Confucianists. Zhu Xi, a Neo-Confucian master, spoke highly of him and wrote "Tai Chi Diagram. Yi Shuo" and "Yi Tong".
》 made annotations, and its reputation gradually grew.
However, later generations think that Zhou Dunyi is just the founder of Chinese Neo-Confucianism, but they do not know that he is also a Yin-Yang master, who has a profound knowledge of Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qimen Dunjia. The Feng Shui theory of the Zhou family is also highly regarded in the Qimen Jianghu.
Respected.
Zhou Dunyi's surname was Gao Jie, and the Zhou family had a high status in the Qi family before. However, as his descendant, Zhou Xiaotian was engaged in tomb robbery. No wonder he couldn't tell him before.
"Isn't your lineage in Hunan? Why did you end up here?"
Ye Tian once heard his master talk about the Zhou family lineage, and knew that most of Zhou Dunyi's descendants were in the Hunan and Jiangxi areas. However, since the late Qing Dynasty, the Zhou family had withdrawn from the Qimen world and rarely heard from them.
"It has been four generations since our family moved to Hebei. My grandfather was killed in a fight, and my father also passed away in the early 1980s. My mother and I depend on each other, and I don't want to rob graves..."
Zhou Xiaotian seemed to be still immersed in his own thoughts, and did not answer Ye Tian's words. He talked to himself. Maybe because he rarely communicated with others, his words were confusing, but Ye Tian still understood what he meant.
life experience.
It turned out that Zhou Xiaotian's great-grandfather was the direct descendant of Zhou Dunyi's lineage. However, during the period of social changes in the late Qing Dynasty, someone in the family took a peek at Zhou Dunyi's inheritance and colluded with outsiders to rob some of the classics passed down by Zhou Dunyi.
In order to avoid disaster, Zhou Xiaotian's great-grandfather left his hometown with his wife and settled in the Tangshan area of Hebei Province. He was a knowledgeable person and soon became a private school teacher from all over the country and was highly respected by people.
Zhou Xiaotian's grandfather, Zhou Tianqi, inherited the family education and was a professor in the philosophy department of a university in Hebei. Their family's life was originally very good, but during the turmoil of those ten years, everything changed.
First, Zhou Xiaotian's grandfather was dragged out and criticized as the stinky old nine. Later, someone even dug out several large boxes of Zhou's Kung Fu secrets hidden in his home.
Those people couldn't understand these things at all, but they labeled Zhou Xiaotian's grandfather as a feudal superstitious person. Not only that, they also set a fire and burned several boxes of inherited secret techniques.
Zhou Tianqi, who had been beaten all over by those red generals, saw that the ancestral martial arts books that had been passed down for dozens of generations were destroyed in his own hands, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and died.
Zhou Xiaotian's father, who had just gotten married at the time, had a wealth of inherited skills, but he did not dare to use them. While protecting Zhou Tianqi, he was also beaten with internal injuries and died when Zhou Xiaotian was eight years old.
Later, when the policy was implemented, some compensation was given to the Zhou family, and Zhou Xiaotian's mother became a staff member of the university where Zhou Tianqi taught.
It's just that Zhou's mother was heartbroken about her husband, and her eyes gradually went from being unable to see clearly to being unable to work normally due to frequent crying. She had no choice but to retire from home, and the two of them lived on the meager retirement salary.
In the past few years, Zhou's mother has lost all sight. Zhou Xiaotian took her to the hospital for a check-up. They were told that the cornea was cloudy due to recurring viral keratitis, and that a corneal transplant was necessary, otherwise she would become blind.
.
It can be said that the Zhou family originally had some wealth, but everything was robbed when the house was ransacked. Zhou's father passed away long ago without leaving any money, so this burden suddenly fell on Zhou Xiaotian.
Due to his family background, Zhou Xiaotian dropped out of high school. Although he has been physically strong since he was a child practicing martial arts, in this era when wages were a few hundred yuan a month, it was just a whim for him to raise 80,000 yuan to treat his mother.
In desperation, Zhou Xiaotian remembered some of the Feng Shui knowledge he had learned from his father when he was a child, and then rummaged through the cabinets at home to find the only compass instrument that had been preserved.
It should be said that Zhou Xiaotian is also an extremely smart person. After buying some books to study, and then contacting the family traditions in his memory, he was really impressed by his self-taught skills, which can be regarded as the threshold of Feng Shui master.
However, given that Zhou Xiaotian was less than 20 years old, no one asked him to learn Feng Shui despite his empty talk. This door to getting rich was also closed to him.
By chance, Zhou Xiaotian saw some people buying and selling antiques in the antique market. He suddenly woke up from a dream. He knew how to observe the local atmosphere. If he couldn't make money from the living, couldn't he make money from the dead?
After having this idea, Zhou Xiaotian suddenly had an idea, and in the process of being a gangster, he met some people in the same industry, and was introduced to Ji Ran's place for trading, and then he met Ye Tian...
