Zhi'an's master thought for a long time and chatted with the child's grandmother for a long time.
Only then did I find out that the child's father died, the mother ran away with someone, and now she can only live with her grandma.
Zhi'an's master and the old lady discussed it and decided to take the child back to the Taoist temple and raise it for a while.
As for the reason, his master did not say at the time.
Many years later, Zhi'an learned that the protrusion on his junior brother's forehead was called Nigu.
If you give birth to this bone, you must be a rebellious son who beats his father and scolds his mother. Although his life is short, any of his relatives may die in his hands during his lifetime.
This kind of child is born to collect debts. At worst, he will waste all the family's money, and at worst, he will be buried with the whole family.
Master Zhi'an's idea is very simple. As long as he can successfully survive the age of 12 in the Taoist temple, the child's hostility will basically be resolved.
Ever since he arrived at Taoist Temple, this child has had a bad fate. If he is not careful, he will be struggling on the line of life and death.
It was also from that time that Zhi'an's master started pampering mode.
This kid did whatever he pleased, and even almost burned down the Taoist temple in the end. The master only sulked for a few days without even a punishment.
When he passed his 12th birthday, Zhi'an's master was ready to send him home, but as fate would have it, by the time he returned home, the only grandmother in the family had passed away.
At this time, Le'an became completely an orphan.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take the child back again.
Later, Zhi'an took charge of this unlucky junior brother. Until now, his junior brother has maintained his previous personality.
By the time Zhi'an finished speaking, the corners of his eyes were already moist.
I can probably understand his mood, saying that he is the eldest brother, more like an old father. After all, he raised the children with his own hands.
This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and I have no idea.
After a moment of silence, I said, "What are you going to do?"
"Get rid of that forest man."
There was no hesitation in Zhi'an's expression: "I have to find him even if I dig three feet into the ground!"
After a pause, he waved his hand towards me: "Follow me."
I originally thought he would go to his junior brother. After all, he broke bones and connected tendons, so that might make sense.
But Zhi'an took me back to Baiyun Palace overnight and went all the way to the back hall.
I looked up and asked suspiciously, "Woodshed?"
Zhi'an chuckled a few times: "You asked me before, why I wasn't anxious when Baiyun Palace was occupied."
"The answer lies here."
After that, Zhi'an kicked open the door of the firewood shed, and the dry smell of firewood immediately hit his nostrils.
At least half of the entire woodshed was filled with firewood, and the rest were neatly arranged pots and stoves. I could really see the point in this.
Zhi'an picked up the pickaxe beside the wall with his backhand and hit it hard on the yellow mud stove. Within a few minutes, the word stove was completely destroyed.
Immediately, he took the broom and swept it fiercely until the pot and stove disappeared completely, leaving only a deep pit.
Just when I was wondering, Zhi'an had already pulled out a square box from the pit.
The box didn't look big, but it looked like it was made of brass, with a bull-nose lock the size of a fist hung on it.
"This is?"
"This is the answer!" Zhi'an responded firmly.
While speaking, he had already opened the box and introduced leisurely: "The reason why I'm not in a hurry is because they can't access the core."
"When the old master abdicates, he will take the new master to the mountains to study hard for three months."
"The first lesson is to give up Taoism."
Zhi'an took out all the ancient books in the box and responded calmly: "You always think this is some thousand-year-old view, but in my eyes, it is just a house."
"As long as these things in your hands are not lost, Baiyu Palace will not be harmed at all."
Before, I always thought that Zhi'an was just taking everything lightly, but I didn't expect that he was fully prepared.
As he spoke, he had already dug out the contents of the box.
"Brother, what you see now is the real Baiyun Palace."
After a pause, Zhi'an spoke again: "Every book here is shocking enough. I hope you can keep it a secret."
I don't need his instructions, I have a sense of proportion in my heart.
In order to avoid suspicion, I took a few steps back and whispered, "I'll wait for you outside. Call me when you're done."
"Hey, hey, that's not what I meant!"
I didn't say anything, raised my hand to open the door and walked out.
Avoiding suspicion is more about protecting yourself. The most terrifying thing in the world is what Zhi'an said just now - only you know it, don't say it outside.
No one knows whether walls have ears, but as long as this is leaked, the blame will be 100% placed on me.
I regret even hearing those words!
After a long time, Zhi'an opened the door and walked out of the room, speaking softly.
"I probably know."
"Do you know the identity of the man in the forest?"
Zhi'an nodded solemnly: "The man in the forest is a very special existence. He is neither a human nor a ghost."
"What the hell? You can't be a god, can you?"
Within the Three Realms, there are only these few identities.
Zhi'an shook his head and said, "He is a person abandoned by God."
"What the hell? A person abandoned by heaven?"
I have never heard of this name, let alone what kind of existence it is.
Zhi'an took out a roll of bamboo slips and gestured to hand it to me.
I quickly took a few steps back and waved my hand: "Don't give it to me, I won't look at it."
Zhi'an looked at him with a complicated expression: "You misunderstood."
I laughed: "It's not a misunderstanding, you forgot, I am illiterate! I can't even understand it!"
