How does it feel to be betrayed by someone you love and have helped? I have never tried it, and I don’t dare to try it. After all, the human heart is really the most difficult thing to guess in the world. We cannot understand others.
Like others can't understand us.
When there is suspicion, there will be estrangement. When there is estrangement, there will be betrayal. When there is betrayal, there will be disputes. This has not changed for thousands of years. We think we are the spirits of all things, but we still cannot escape the laws of all things. We hate each other and betray each other.
, suspicious of each other.
Seeing me asking him this question, Yuan Mei did not answer me directly. Instead, he took a puff of cigarette and said to me calmly: "Young man, don't interrupt me, let me finish." After that, he continued.
He talked about his past events, but Lao Yi and I were now being trampled firmly under our feet and could not move, so we could only listen quietly.
After Yuan Youcheng's death, Yuan Mei's mother did not survive for long. The humiliation and betrayal made her unable to hold her head up. Finally one day, due to extreme malnutrition and heartache, she passed away.
It's a pity that the Yuan brothers lost their parents. In their eyes, they no longer have any trust in others. To be honest, no matter what happens, there is a period of cooling down. After the death of Yuan Youcheng and his wife, those who have never been afraid
The young Red Guards had no time to care about these two landlord brats, and immediately ran non-stop to the vast world of villages ten miles and eight around them, and started a vigorous landlord fighting activity.
At this point, the Yuan brothers returned home. Their home had been smashed into a state of disgrace, and the land passed down by their ancestors was gone. What made them most angry was not these, but the supercilious looks of the people in the village. To say the least,
People in the past were generally uneducated. They were too servile. If they were considered bad by "people coming down from above", then they were bad. Even the Yuan family who had been very kind to them in the past could not escape. It was pitiful.
Yuan Youcheng and his wife did countless good things during their lifetime, but they did not leave even a small house after their death. That was the best time to suppress feudal superstition. The idols of the people all over the country were great men or martyrs, and dead people could not be buried.
The villagers, led by the "little comrade leaders", raised firewood and cremated Yuan Youcheng and his wife, and scattered their ashes into the river.
Yuan De and Yuan Mei's hearts bleed as they watched their parents' bodies being burned bit by bit by the flames while the villagers acted as if it had nothing to do with them. Thinking about it, it was at that time that Yuan Mei's
The belief of revenge arose in their hearts. Seeing that their two brothers no longer had a place in the village, they dug out several books left by their ancestors from the haystacks behind the yard, as well as the book that their father had once
A box placed under the shrine.
Looking at the penny in the box, a total of more than ten yuan, the two brothers shed tears. They deeply felt that the world is unkind and unfair, and this is the source of the evil in the human heart. As the saying goes, there are ghosts in the world, but there are no ghosts.
It is outside the human heart. Those sanctimonious people are more terrifying than those ghosts who complain.
The two brothers wiped away their tears, took the money, and left their hometown without looking back, heading to Harbin. In the eyes of the two of them, even though they lived in the open and had nothing to eat, they were very happy.
Happiness is time. Yuan De is a man who loves his younger brother by nature. He basically endures all the hardships by himself. The two brothers were bullied, beaten and scolded along the way, but they survived. After arriving in Harbin, they found a wife.
Working in a small liquor workshop, they took care of food and housing, so the two brothers settled down.
But the revenge of his parents has not been avenged. Yuan Mei is not willing to live in such a miserable life. He has understood the power of power and wealth since he was a child. He knows that if you have no power and money, it will be good to survive, but revenge is simply difficult.
The situation was getting more difficult, so the two of them waited for an opportunity to leave this small place and become prosperous.
It was such a coincidence that the year was 1976, and we were catching up with the trend of educated youth going to the countryside. The so-called educated youth going to the countryside has been mentioned before. The government issued an order at that time that "educated youth should go to the countryside to accept the return of poor and lower-middle peasants."
"Education is very necessary" was the directive, so as early as the 1960s, there was already a craze for going to the countryside. This craze for going to the countryside was forced to go to the countryside. You had no choice but to go.
Some things are good for their reasons and sincerity, but some people still distort and misunderstand the essence of the matter. Some people even wrote a poem to praise this great feat: "Great news comes from Beijing, the latest instructions
Take care of people's hearts. The educated young people responded together and went to the countryside full of pride. They accepted re-education from workers and peasants and fought against all selfishness. Follow the commander-in-chief closely and cultivate loyalty in the vast world."
But people are so virtuous, they say one thing and mean the same thing. Apart from those idiots who don’t understand shit, how many people can be truly selfless? It happened that the owner of the wine shop had two sons. That year
He had just graduated, and according to the country's instructions, he was about to be sent to the countryside. However, the wine shop owner was very protective of his son and did not want his precious son to suffer in the countryside. However, after much thought, he had no choice. All this was seen by his enemies and brothers.
In the eyes.
The two brothers secretly discussed that instead of sitting here doing nothing all day long, it would be better to go to the countryside. Firstly, the vastness of the sky is more convenient than learning the ancestral skills. Secondly, their backgrounds belong to the "five black categories" (landowners).
, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries, bad elements, rightists), going to the countryside and reforming can clear themselves politically, and although there were no clear instructions at that time on the treatment of educated youths who went to the countryside and returned to the city, Yuan Mei was born with a smart mind, and he felt that this
The educated youth who went to the countryside would definitely have something to say when he returned to the city. So after the two brothers made an agreement, they went to the owner of the wine shop and explained their intentions, and they were willing to replace his son in going to the countryside.
When the boss of the wine shop heard what the two said, he was extremely happy, so he thanked the two profusely, and then spent money to clear up some things. So a month later, Yuan Mei and Yuan De, two out-and-out rural people,
People once again set foot on the train to the countryside and began years of "re-transformation". I have to say, this is indeed quite ironic.
The place the two went to was a small rural village next to Heishan County, Liaoning Province. There were young people within ten miles, so the two lived in the home of a fellow villager, and were led by brothers and sisters who had joined the team before.
.Working is nothing more than farming. Although the two of them were from landlord families, they were also farmers. Therefore, these tasks did not trouble them. After half a year, everything was fine.
Until one day, it was summer, when Yuan Mei went up the mountain to collect firewood, an earthquake suddenly occurred. Yuan Mei felt the ground shaking under his feet. He became a little scared. He threw away the firewood and ran back. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden earthquake on the way down the mountain.
There was a big crack. He didn't dare to go through it, so he had to take a detour.
It was a coincidence. After going around and around, Yuan Mei entered the depths of the mountain instead of going around. As he was groping forward against the mountain wall, suddenly a piece of rock next to him cracked, and then, there was a crash.
Several big rocks fell down. Yuan Mei thought it was a landslide and he was going to die this time, so he held his head and waited for death. After a while, the surroundings became quiet again. Yuan Mei looked up and saw,
He saw the rocks on the mountain wall breaking away. A medium-sized cave entrance appeared in front of him. Yuan Mei thought to himself that everything has a cause and effect. The strange celestial phenomenon brought me here today. Could it be that there was some instruction from God?
So he groped and crawled towards the entrance of the cave. At that time, Yuan Mei had already learned to smoke, and his fellow villagers had also grown some dry tobacco at home, so Yuan Mei exchanged centimeters for some matches and carried them with him. After entering the cave, Yuan Mei started to draw.
He picked up a match and saw that although the cave was naturally formed, there were obvious signs that someone had come in. The cave was very humid, and the match went out within a short time of burning, so he continued walking inside. Suddenly, Yuan Mei saw the entrance of the cave.
There were two 'people' standing in the deepest place!
This frightened him. You have to know that the outside of the cave was already overgrown with moss. How could anyone show up? Could it be a goblin in the mountain? But that's not right. Think about it, Yuan Mei is also a disciple of the Bai sect. Although it is said that
His fate was rough, but he didn't suffer much (later he found out that it was the ten ghosts who helped each other), and he had read all the books passed down from his family these days, and he could also sense some evil spirits, but it seemed that the cave seemed
There was no such evil spirit. On the contrary, he could vaguely feel an unusual water vapor. This really surprised him. Seeing the two black figures motionless, he plucked up the courage to leave.
Yuan Mei went forward and struck another match. Yuan Mei discovered that these were two wax figures. They were like sculptures. One of the wax figures had a sword in his hands and the sword finger of his left hand touched the palm of his right hand. Judging from the appearance, there were about four figures.
He was five or four years old. Although his whole body was waxed, he could still faintly see that his expression was serious and solemn, and his whole body exuded a sense of righteousness.
Yuan Mei looked at another person and saw that this 'person' was thin and small. It was more aptly described as a big monkey than a human. He had a hunched body, his arms were struggling, and his nails were very long.
Looking at its face, Yuan Mei was immediately startled. It turned out that this person's face was extremely ferocious. Although it had the outline of a human face, his facial features were really unflattering. To put it bluntly, he looked like a shameless person.
, the pale muscle tissue is vaguely visible, just like a piece of bacon. The eyes without eyelids have small pupils, but are full of anger and fear. The mouth is wide open, and the two to four long fangs are shocking. It is obviously
An expression of unwillingness.
Yuan Mei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Since his ancestors lived in the underworld, his father Yuan Youcheng had told him many ghosts and ghosts since he was a child. Now when he saw this wax figure-like weirdo, Yuan Mei suddenly had a thought in his mind.
The word "zombie" clearly means a zombie.
If it were placed on an ordinary person, he would definitely run away, but Yuan Mei did not. He was a born strange person. When he encountered something, he would secretly have ten ghosts help him. Of course, he would only know these things later.
Yes, Yuan Mei thought in her heart, the wax man with both hands pointing swords must be an old senior of the White sect. It seems that they died together in this cave. Suddenly Yuan Mei thought that the capable people and strangers in the past were generally
I carry magical tools, charms and other things with me, why don't I search them and see if there is anything I can use?
To say that the wax man's body was only waxed, but his clothes had not yet decayed, and in such a humid environment, Yuan Mei concluded that this man had not been dead for several years. He went forward to search for him, and he was indeed allowed to leave.
The wax man took out something wrapped in oilcloth, which seemed to be a book. Yuan Mei casually put the book in his arms. Seeing that there was nothing else, he took it out.
entrance of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Yuan Mei opened the oilcloth and saw that there was indeed a book inside. It seemed to be a long time ago. On the book was a line of ancient Chinese characters "Sanqing Commoner Heavenly Book".
On the first page of the book, there is another line of small words: "Spells".
Yuan Mei was overjoyed. He knew that the so-called Three Pure Ones were the supreme ancestors of Taoism, but very few of their methods were actually handed down. If this book is true, then what it contains must be the highest metaphysics of Taoism.
.
Yuan Mei was overjoyed but did not get carried away. He knew that although this place was hidden, people would occasionally pass by up the mountain, so he moved a few more stones to block the entrance of the cave. After finishing everything, he went down the mountain.
.
In the evening, when it was convenient to go out before going to bed, he told his brother Yuan De what happened that day. Yuan De couldn't help but be happy for him when he saw that his brother had such an adventure, so the two brothers took advantage of it in the future.
He started to practice spells when no one was around, but because Yuan Dehui was not very good at it, he stopped learning after a while. But Yuan Mei was different. He was a born genius, and it was very easy to learn these things. When he knew
When there were spells in the Sanqing book that could capture people's souls, the indelible fire of hatred buried in his heart began to burn brightly again.
Lao Yi and I have been listening to Yuan Mei's story about his past. As we listened, an inexplicable sense of sadness suddenly appeared in our hearts. It turns out that we are all the same. The fate of those who practice Taoism seems to be the same. What a good fate.
A bad fate, as long as you have five evils and three shortcomings, you will never be able to escape this bad luck in your life. When Yuan Mei said this, he paused. Seeing the complicated expressions on our faces, he waved his hands. The man who stepped on me and Lao Yi
The legs on my back moved away, and I stood up in a hurry. At the same time, I supported Lao Yi with my left hand, thinking to myself why he let me go?
So I asked him: "Since you have caught us both, why do you want to let us go? Have you ever thought that I can break your neck from this distance?"
Yuan Mei laughed when he heard what I said, and saw that he threw the copper coin sword to me casually, and then he said to me: "You can't defeat me, and you will be sentenced for killing me. I
I believe that our destinies should be similar, and you should be able to understand me. This is why I called you here."
I was silent. Indeed, I am a poor man from the end of the world. To a certain extent, I can indeed understand him, but now I am no longer like me before. I am moved when others say a few pitiful words.
Cry, after all, I have encountered too many pitiful things. Is your bad fate the reason for you to harm others?
Moreover, I thought of Liu Yudi. This old guy once wanted to kill her. This is the most unforgivable thing for me! So I said to him coldly: "Your story should be finished. Since you said that we can
I understand you. If I guess correctly, you must have some conspiracy to get us into the gang! Are you asking for the Sanqing Book on Yi Xinxing and Shi Jueming or something else? Please give me a clear explanation!"
After hearing what I said, Yuan Mei shook his head again. He sighed, and then said to the two of us: "It seems that you two still can't understand me. Well, since that's the case, I won't go around in circles with you two."
Anyway, no one can change what I decided, so it doesn’t hurt to tell you two."
