"Brother!"
Li Fuxi said hurriedly.
"You and I, brothers, are inseparable from each other. I am not married, and I have no descendants. My two nephews are my blood. In order for the Li family to prosper, we will no longer be as poor as we are. , I do!"
But Li Fugui still shook his head and insisted that the wealth of future generations cannot be obtained by sacrificing relatives.
Li Fuxi pulled him, turned his back slightly on the wandering Taoist priest, and lowered his voice.
"But brother! This opportunity cannot be missed, it will never come back. How long will it take for a truly Taoist master to come to this remote place in the mountains? After passing this village, there will be no such store."
…
In short, after a dispute, Li Fuxi insisted on sacrificing himself to achieve prosperity for the descendants of the Li family.
Li Fugui couldn't resist him, so he could only agree.
But he had a keen mind after all, so he asked the wandering Taoist priest tactfully.
"Taoist Master, our whole village has seen your powerful methods. However, it is too mysterious to use luck to change your fate. I wonder, Taoist Master, if there is any way for us to see it first?"
yes!
There is no basis for what you say, but seeing is believing.
The old Taoist smiled slightly and nodded.
"Of course you can! You don't need to use your life to change your life first. You just need to use some methods and try it with some hair. By then, there will be obvious changes."
So the Li Fugui brothers agreed.
The wandering Taoist priest first used a strange-shaped knife to cut off a small amount of hair from the top of Li Fuxi's head, and then stretched out his hand to lift it up.
A sharp short knife flew out of the wide sleeves. There was a slender iron chain behind the handle, and the end was hidden in the sleeves.
call!
The iron chain flying knife flew directly into the air and circled around the large beam of the main room. A long and narrow crack was immediately cut.
Taoist Youfang put Li Fuxi's hair in his palm, then blew a big breath into it.
Said.
"go!"
This ball of hair seemed to be picked up by a breeze, spiraling directly up to the rafters. As if being held by deft hands, they were all stuffed into the gaps in the beams.
In the eyes of the Li Fugui brothers, this scene was simply a miraculous trick!
They were all stunned.
Especially Li Fuxi, he felt more and more that what this Taoist priest said was true. As long as he sacrificed himself... he could save his two nephews and future generations from the fate of poverty and poverty, and live in glory and wealth.
The wandering Taoist priest told them that from today on, Li Fuxi's fortune will be equally shared with Li Fugui! If you don’t believe it, you might want to pay attention when you go hunting in the mountains recently.
He said he was not in a hurry and could stay in Lijiagou for a while...
So the Li Fugui brothers kept the wandering Taoist priest at home and entertained him with delicious food and drinks - which almost used up all their savings.
really!
From that day on, Li Fugui and Li Fuxi were completely different when hunting.
If the two brothers were to hunt for prey separately, Li Fugui would definitely have a rich harvest, while Li Fuxi would not even see a wild rabbit!
If the two brothers hunt together, it will be Li Fugui who finally kills the prey. And he will hardly get hurt.
On the other hand, Li Fuxi was always injured accidentally - he slipped, fell, and was bitten in the calf by a wolf...
Once, I was almost knocked away by a wild boar!
Fortunately, Li Fugui had quick eyesight and quick hands and pushed him away.
Moreover, Li Fuxi, the younger brother, is physically stronger and healthier than his older brother. After being "borrowed", my body began to weaken, and I would get sick every now and then...
But for the entire family, the gifts received were much greater than before!
It has not doubled several times.
And sometimes, you will always pick up some gold, silver and copper coins washed out of the mountains - Taoist priest You Fang said, maybe there are ancient tombs nearby.
But he was not good at finding graves, so he couldn't find the source.
In short, the facts prove what Taoist You Fang said.
As the brothers got better and richer, other villagers in Lijiagou were also very envious.
Some people who had a good relationship with the brothers occasionally found out about this while drinking and chatting.
So some people even took the initiative to go to the wandering Taoist priest and said that they also had brothers at home, could they borrow luck in the same way?
The old Taoist priest shook his head and refused.
"Luck cannot be borrowed just as you want. It also depends on whether the birth date and destiny are suitable. And whether the person being borrowed is willing from the heart. In the entire village, only the Li Fugui brothers meet this condition."
Since the experts say so, there is nothing we can do.
I just feel a little envious of the Li brothers.
After awhile.
Li Fuxi decided to sacrifice himself to change the fate of his family...
"Ahem, Taoist Priest, what should I do? Ahem..."
Because he was "borrowed", his body became weaker and weaker, and he was no longer able to do heavy work.
"The method is very simple. I will choose a suitable day and open the altar! After a series of methods, you will lie down in a coffin made of locust wood, and then let Brother Li Fugui bury you personally."
What? !
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of both brothers changed dramatically.
Especially Li Fugui was very excited.
"This...isn't this being buried alive? Taoist priest, we don't want our family's fortune to change. Please cure my brother again."
In fact, before, he agreed to this matter half-heartedly, and Li Fuxi himself was more determined.
But now I heard that they need to be buried alive!
Li Fugui said nothing.
The wandering Taoist priest smiled and took out a brown pill from his sleeve and said.
"Don't worry, you two. It's not a real burial alive. In fact, before brother Li Fuxi lies in the coffin, I will give him a pill to swallow. This pill is refined by me using a secret method. Swallow it. After that, the soul can return to the underworld immediately. Not only does it die peacefully without any pain, but because of the smell of Pindao's elixir, the underworld people will also give some face to the underworld and let Brother Li Fuxi directly reincarnate and give birth to a good child. It is really true. It’s a great way to get the best of both worlds.”
"this……"
Li Fugui was still confused.
Li Fuxi immediately took the brown elixir from the palm of the wandering Taoist priest and held it in his hand.
The expression is complex.
He glanced at the old Taoist priest, then at his dear elder brother, and said in a deep voice.
"Brother, brother is gone!"
After saying that, with Li Fugui's sad expression, he swallowed the black pill directly.
"Brother, don't..."
He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Li Fuxi swallowed the pill, smiled at him one last time, and fell to the ground.
No breath.
died.
Li Fugui was so sad that he hugged his brother's body and cried loudly.
The wandering Taoist priest also said with emotion.
"The brotherhood between the two moved Pindao very much. But brother Fugui, your brother has already taken the elixir and passed away. If we don't seize the time to bury him in a locust coffin, brother Fuxi's death will be in vain. ! The success fell short."
