Chapter Seventeen: Pleasure and Enmity

This world is not simple. You see, not long ago, I saw a monster (Bai Suzhen) with a Buddha (the Guanyin of the South China Sea hidden behind). I guess those gods and immortals should also exist. I thought they were very far away, but now, the uncle who passed away was actually one of them. Which side did he belong to? Gods? Monsters? Or did he not know where the sacred person came from?

I think it’s very stressful. I don’t know if I’m lucky or unfortunate living in such a world. If I can choose, please let me get out happily. I will get out of here and never come back.

"Yaoer? What are you thinking?"

The old lady's voice woke Zhang Yao up and came to her senses. She said naturally: "It's nothing, I just thought that my uncle was actually a god, and I sighed for a moment."

"Yes!" When talking about this, the old lady was in a complicated mood. She knew that her brother was a god and she hadn't had a good sleep for several days. She hated the Taoist priest who took his brother away to teach his skills, and secretly felt grateful to him. This is a fate that ordinary people can't ask for in their lifetime. It would be a blessing that my brother could never get in exchange for in his lifetime.

But, how great it would be if I could say hello to let my parents know! This is a knot that the old lady can never untie her whole life. She has always been worried. Now that her parents have long died and her brother has left, suddenly she feels nothing and her heart is empty. As for what she can't be unwilling to be, is it meaningful to say these?

"Grandma, what does this Seven-Secret Reverse Life Formation look like?"

Since he couldn't resist, then just enjoy it with his eyes closed. As a person who has traveled through several worlds, Zhang Yao knew the principle of making fun of suffering. After a while, he asked curiously: "Is it like what is written in the painting book? You have to draw talismans and formations. By the way, do you still need black blood, cinnabar or something?"

The old lady couldn't help laughing, touched Zhang Yao's hair and said lovingly: "Good grandson, what are you looking at from there?" After saying that, she smiled and shook her head, "Your uncle once said that changing one's life requires casting spells seven times. The first time is the most cumbersome and the last time is the most dangerous, so she named the Seven-Secret Life Formation!"

I looked at the old lady awkwardly. I thought it was a formation, but I didn't expect that he guessed it wrong. The name was also problematic, which was obviously misleading.

"I know that over the past ten years, both your father and your grandfather, and grandma have loved you so much, why have you not allowed you to leave the house?"

He shook his head. Zhang Yao couldn't understand this at the beginning, but after the old lady said this, he understood a little: "Grandma means that it is related to changing one's fate?"

"That's right!" Withdrawing his smile, the old lady said with a serious expression: "Changing her fate is against the will of heaven and earth. Once she discovers it, she will be punished by heaven! It is precisely because of this that your uncle slowly planned it and changed it to seven times to slowly replace your original fate, so that the risk can be minimized, but because it is too long before and after, it is easy to be discovered by strange people!"

"Discover? How do you discover it?" Zhang Yao said in confusion: "Is there anything different from ordinary people before the end of his life change?"

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know this either. Your uncle said that my eyes were not open and I could not see the fate pillar above my head. He also said that there are many strange people in this world, and there are several people in Suzhou Prefecture. If the other party has evil thoughts and fails to change his life, it will also cause your grandson to lose your life!"

"So, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, your grandfather ordered that you would not allow you to leave the mansion without taking a step privately, and that you would always be a boy, benefactor, do you understand our difficulties now?"

When Zhang Yao was young, he spent most of his time in a daze. He finally woke up once but was unwilling to be lonely. He was very curious about the world outside the mansion. He always tried to sneak out in different ways, and even did something like jumping into the Lotus Pond in the Zhang Mansion's villa to swim out. It was thanks to the Zhang family who was rich and powerful, and arranged several servants to stare at him without blinking, so he failed.

The old lady mentioned it again, which made Zhang Yao very embarrassed. Thinking of the many ridiculous things he had done at the beginning, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Yaoer, grandma didn't plan to tell you about these things, but Master Shen said that you must always be awake for this last spell cast. I didn't ask much. After all, your uncle is gone, and it is our Zhang family who begged Xia Feiguan, but no matter what, we must not forget this kind of kindness!"

Seeing Zhang Yao nodding, the old lady closed her eyes and said tiredly: "Okay, good grandson, it's getting late, go back to the room to rest, don't let your wife wait in a hurry!"

Hurry? It doesn't exist. Zhao Qi is not anxious at all. Although she is in the house, she can hear every word the old lady said clearly and does not miss a word. Xia Fei's owner, Zhenren Xia Fei, is a magic cultivator. She had guessed this when she first came, and of course there were some things that could not be guessed, such as Zhang Yao was changed by someone, and such as the seven-characteristic reversal formation?

How dare he be so bold? No, not only him, but also Zhang Yao and the old lady, even the father-in-law who had never met and the old man from the Zhang family, they were simply bold and bold, and this was just playing with fire and burning themselves!

Although practitioners, although the cultivation of immortals and gods is different, there are similarities in some places, such as what can be done and what must not be done!

The latter is the latter, and it is still the kind of thing that would rather die than do. For thousands of years, there have always been some clever monks who thought that if they were doing it tighter, they would definitely be able to hide it from the way of heaven. Just kidding, what is the way of heaven? You really didn’t know about the way of heaven? It was not revealed at that time, it was just too lazy to pay attention to you. When the time came, the new and old accounts would be settled clearly for you!

Never underestimate the way of heaven, Qier, you must remember that monks need a fearless heart, but more importantly, learn to respect its existence!

This is the first lesson of the beginning of the practice. Zhao Qi never forgot the expression of the master when he said this. Her face was like a rock and her eyes were like an abyss. She was filled with indescribable heavy pressure, which made her breathless.

What should I do? Nowadays, we must think about this question. If ordinary people do something wrong, they will be judged by the underworld after death. If a monk makes a mistake, the heavenly tribulation will come to the rescue. She is an immortal cultivator and the kind of person he dislikes the most. Not to mention being involved in such a thing, even knowing it is a mistake!

"Hey, madam, your face is a little bad, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Zhang Yao coming in, Qingluo hurriedly left. In a blink of an eye, there were two people left in the room. Looking at the decorations in the room, he shook his head helplessly. The old lady had ordered that the couple had not had sex yet and had been sleeping on the floor at home. They were the first to get up so that the people would not see misunderstandings.

This method is not feasible now. The room is small and the bed is not big. If both of them lie down, the skin is unavoidable. There is a beautiful woman in their arms but cannot be touched. The taste of this is simply a fetish for an old driver who has been holding it in for more than ten years. Not to mention what Zhao Qi would think, even the human ethics gifts cannot be carried out, and it will be impossible to escape the label of being ineffective in the future. Although it is a misunderstanding, there is a man who is willing to misunderstand others like this, and this person is still his wife.

"That, madam, why don't you rest early? I'll go out for a walk!"

He left after saying that, and could delay for a while. He was quite fast, for fear that Zhao Qi would stop him, and even more afraid that he would see the disappointment in her eyes. If you bear it, all the worries will no longer exist in a few days.

"Young Master?" Qingluo did not leave, and Yu'er was there. The two were whispering, but when they saw Zhang Yao walking out of the house, they thought they had something to give.

"It's okay, you guys continue," waved his hand, Zhang Yao walked through the two of them, walked not far away, and suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "By the way, where are you two living?"

Xiafei Temple room is limited, and the old lady lives the best, Zhang Yao and his wife, Wang Ma and Mr. Xi Da’s room, and the rest can only be thought of another way. The male servants are fine, just have a place to rest, but the female family members can’t do it. Zhang Yao suddenly thought of this and asked casually.

"Young master, don't worry, Ren Bo has already arranged it for us," Yu'er was still smart, and guessed Zhang Yao's thought in the blink of an eye: "Young master, look, there are two tents there, one of which is ours."

Looking down, I saw a shadow in the darkness in a vague way. Today, there is no moon and stars, and the light is dim. I didn't notice it before. He nodded: "Let's accompany my wife here."

Seeing that the young master was about to leave, Yu'er hurriedly followed, but she didn't want to be stopped by Zhang Yao: "No need to follow, I want to be alone."

"Young master, no, the weather is not good today, the light is very dim, it's still on this unfamiliar mountain top. What should I do if something happens? Let me accompany you!"

Yu'er was kind-hearted, but Zhang Yao felt it didn't matter and didn't want to walk out of the darkness: "Let me let you go with the young master."

"Uncle Ren?"

It was the butler Zhang Ren who walked to Zhang Yao and said with a smile: "Young Master shouldn't think that my old arms and legs are in trouble, right?"

"If it is there, Uncle Ren is just when he is young and strong. I feel ashamed of this body," said a little flattery. Zhang Yao paused and continued: "But the mountain is so cool, I don't care. I'm afraid that Uncle Ren, you accidentally get the cold wind. Then grandma will blame me severely."

Zhang Ren was very helpful in this statement. He had a special status in the Zhang family, but the master's family had few male members and actually had great power. He must be called Zhang Master outside. He knew in his heart that it was for the sake of the Zhang family, otherwise he would be nothing.

"Uncle Ren, let's go."

The two followed the road and walked outside through the Yuedong Gate. It seemed to be walking side by side, but Zhang Yao knew that Uncle Ren had always taken a wrong step, and he was like this.

When he saw the servants at home along the way, he had to say hello. Whenever he couldn't recognize or could not call his name, Zhang Ren could always whisper a little behind him, avoiding unnecessary embarrassment and making every servant feel flattered.

This is also a wonderful person. After a few times, Zhang Yao gave an evaluation in his heart. Although he is the eldest master of the Zhang family, he has little contact with the four housekeepers, especially this housekeeper, and he is extremely busy. He remembers that he is always very busy, so busy that he is too busy to get busy.

When I walked out of the Taoist temple, the night wind suddenly blew, with a hint of coolness. This is rare on summer nights. Although Xiafei Mountain is ordinary, it seems extraordinary from this point of view. At least it is a good place to escape the summer heat.

"What do you think about the future?"

When the butler appeared, Zhang Yao guessed that he had something to say, but he didn't expect it to be this sentence, which was strange. First, it was Zhao Qi, followed by the old lady. Now even the butler Zhang asked, are they discussing this?

"Thinking? Is this here yet? Does Uncle Ren have any advice?"

"I don't dare to be a counselor, young master, I just ask casually."

The two of them walked around the Taoist temple and stopped, and did not go far. The light was so dark that they could not see a trace of moonlight in the sky. If it weren't for the walls and lanterns hanging on the treetops, they would probably not be able to see clearly around them.

Since Zhang Ren didn't want to say more, Zhang Yao didn't ask more questions. He just wanted to drag Zhao Qi to sleep and go back. It seemed that he would stay outside this temple for a while now. I don't know how long it will take. How many days will be left next, but I feel sad when I think about it.

"Young Master, it's not easy for the old lady over the years."

"Ah?" Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard this statement. Zhang Ren was hiding in the darkness and could not see the expression on his face: "Brother Xian died young. The old lady was sad for a long time and had not yet walked out of the shadow. She left again. She sat in the mourning hall without food or drink. Later, she became seriously ill. During that time, our family was panicked. Looking at the old lady with a haggard face, I was really worried that she would not be able to survive."

"Yes," Zhang Yao also remembers this incident, but he doesn't have much memory, but he still vaguely remembers the scene when his grandmother was lying in bed. During that time, all the servants of the Zhang family were in a mess. If there weren't four housekeepers who barely maintained order, they would have disbanded long ago.

"Then the prefect Zhou forced the donation, and the four major commercial banks came together!" Zhang Ren's tone became excited, with a sense of hatred that could not be dissipated: "There is also Heshenghao Money House, they all want to cut off the dead end of our Zhang family. They are going to force us to die!"

Zhang Yao didn't know this, but he could also guess what happened at the beginning. Without the pillars, the only heir was a fool. The orphan and widowed clan was not prosperous. In the eyes of others, the Zhang family was just a piece of fat. Everyone wanted to go up and take a bite. What's more, the government was leading the way in front of him, so he was so happy to step on it.

"Fortunately, our aunt found a good husband and then slowly got through again. By the way, Master, guess who I saw some time ago?"

"who?"

"Liu Qi!"

Zhang Yao had no impression of who this person was. He seemed to notice his confusion. Zhang Ren explained: "This person was the manager of the family of Zhou Xiang, the governor of Suzhou. Zhou Xiang was sent to Lingnan. He followed him and didn't expect to see him!"

"Zhou Xiang is coming back?" Zhang Yao stopped, thought for a while and said, "Don't tell grandma about this beforehand. Let's think of a way to see if it can stop him from returning to Suzhou Prefecture!"

"Come back? Can't come back!" Zhang Ren said happily and emotion: "Zhou Xiang died, died in Lingnan. It is said that he was eaten by a big tiger with white eyes. When Liu Qi talked about this, he was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot, and said crazy that it was a monster! Joke, where did this monster come from in the blue sky and the bright sun? I think he was guilty of being a thief. Maybe Zhou Xiang was killed by him!"

After so many years, the hatred in his heart still has not dissipated. If it weren't for Zhou Xiang, his son Zhang Song would not have died. Perhaps he had already started a family and started a career. He had already held his grandson and Li Niang. Thinking of his wife and son, his heart felt like he had been cut by a knife, and it hurts bloodily. Even if he had remarried and had a new child, the scene back then could never be forgotten. Now Zhou Xiang is dead, he dies well. I just hate that he is not dead in his own hands, but it doesn't matter. Zhou Xiang's wife and daughter are still there, without that layer of green skin, I want him to have his Zhou family lose his son and grandson, and I want his wife and daughter to be prostitutes in the Jiaofangsi for the rest of his life!

Zhang Ren's hatred was not concealed at all, and Zhang Yao could feel it. He could guess what the other party wanted to do. When will the revenge be revenge be done? The Buddha can say this or say it to others, but he just can't say it to his own people, especially his family or close people.

Stopped, and after Zhang Ren's head calmed down a little, he said, "Uncle Ren, thank you for your hard work over the years, by the way, I remember Brother Tonye is ten years old this year, right?"

"Young Master is right. In more than two months, I will be ten years old tomorrow."

"So congratulations to Uncle Ren first. Brother Ming is the first person in our family to be included in the family tree by grandma Enxun. I can't call him Brother Ming again in the future. It's too disgusting. You should call him brother."

When Zhang Yao said this, Zhang Ren was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He worked hard for the Zhang family for so many years. What was he trying to do? He himself? Yes, but not just, but more importantly, for his children!

In the current world, there are roughly two types of subordinates from wealthy families, one is a family-born child, and the other is an ordinary subordinate; there are two types of subordinates who have children in the family, one is a family tree, and the other is not a family tree.

Entering the family tree means no longer a servant, but the owner of the family, who enjoys all rights of family members, such as consulting, acting directly as a shopkeeper, and then burying it in the ancestral tomb after death. More importantly, the descendants will also benefit from the future and are clan members recognized by the entire society!

"Being able to be brothers with the young master is a blessing he has cultivated for several lifetimes, old slave, old slave..."

"Okay, Uncle Ren, the squeamish little woman's attitude is absent from your Zhang family's butler. Besides, this is what you deserve, Uncle Yi and the others are envious of it."

When Zhang Ren mentioned the other three housekeepers, he was proud. Although he was the big housekeeper and looked majestic outside, he was actually still a servant of the Zhang family. But his son was not, his grandson was not, and his descendants were no longer servants. As for Zhang Yi and the others, they would have to call the young master when they met in the future.

Without a watch, he couldn't see what time it was. Zhang Yao was going to go back to the house first, and before leaving, he said to Zhang Ren: "Uncle Ren, grandma can't rub sand in her eyes. Don't do some things too much. The most important thing is not to let her know, for Brother Ming and for the reputation of our Zhang family. Well, Uncle Ren, I'll go back to the house to rest first. Think about what I just said."
