Chapter Thirty-One: Entering the Palace with a Spoon

  This is the free will of fate, Mr. Liu did not want his descendants to be involved in this profession before his death, but unexpectedly, more than a decade after his death, his two sons were again involved in the profession of yin and yang due to a coincidence.

  Another decade has passed, and the two brothers have already read through that book "San Qing Shu". Liu Quan, relying on his innate cleverness, only learned some superficial divination techniques from "San Qing Shu". But Liu Xi was different. Perhaps due to his innate nature, his mind was completely free of distractions, and every time he listened to his brother's lectures, he could fully immerse himself in the realm of "San Qing Shu". Over the past decade, he had mastered the entire content of the book.

  That was the year Liu Xi was twenty-four years old, one day a old yellow cow was lost from Song widow's house in the east village. You know that in rural areas before, cattle like cows and sheep were farmers' lives. But Song sister-in-law was just a woman, a widow who had no job, could only go from door to door asking for help to find it together.

  Northeastern people are generally kind-hearted and sincere, it's not easy to see her alone, so they all helped find her. Coincidentally, that day Liu's wife had just cooked a meal and wanted to go to the village head to call Liu Xi back home for dinner, and happened to meet Song Widow. Listening to the widow's tearful account of the lost cow, kind-hearted Liu's wife also became anxious, thinking that if Mr. Liu were still alive, he would definitely be able to figure out where the cow was.

  While Liu's wife was comforting the widow, Liu Xi suddenly smiled foolishly. He wiped his runny nose with his sleeve and said with a smile: "The widow of the Song family lost an old cow, and the old cow got lost on Dongshan Touer. Hehehe."

  Originally, no one would have believed the words that came out of a fool's mouth. Liu's wife took Liu Xi back home for dinner, but what she least expected was that the villagers who went to look for the cow really found the old yellow cow on the top of Dongshan Mountain in the afternoon.

  When Liu's wife heard about it, she felt that something was not quite right. This coincidence was too great. How could her foolish son have such great abilities? Thinking and thinking, Liu's wife secretly thought that something was wrong, so she hurriedly ran to the incense table where the ancestors' plaques were worshipped to check. Sure enough, the "Three Pure Ones Scripture" had flown away without a trace.

  Liu's wife felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't understand why her foolish son couldn't even recognize a single character, let alone read this book. The most important thing was, how did he find it?

  She quietly finished dinner and didn't go to bed first. She knew that her two sons would go out for a walk after dinner. After waiting for the two sons to leave, she secretly followed them out.

  The scene she least wanted to see appeared before her eyes, her two sons were intently watching "San Qing Shu"! Liu Quan was reading and reciting it while Liu Xi was smiling foolishly beside him.

  She suddenly felt a blackness before her eyes, as if the sky had collapsed. Originally, she just hoped that her two sons could grow up safely and healthily, but unexpectedly they also followed in Mr. Liu's footsteps, and they were also born with defects. She quickly rushed forward and snatched away the "Three Pure Books".

  Liu Xi and Liu Quan were originally watching with great interest, but their mother suddenly appeared, snatched the book away, and slapped each of them on the ear. Liu Quan was stunned and didn't know what to do. Liu Xi, however, looked silly and started wailing after being hit.

  Seeing her own son cry, Liu's wife felt a pang in her heart and tears fell. She took the two sons back home, wondering what had happened to them and how they found this book.

  Liu Xi had no choice but to tell his mother about what happened that night ten years ago. Only then did Liu's wife realize that her foolish son had an extraordinary eye, and she sighed in her heart, thinking that back then Mr. Liu had helped people get rid of countless monsters, this thing with a yellow hat was probably here for revenge. Now that her two sons have already read the "Three Pure Books", the saying "five flaws and three deficiencies" will surely come true in the future. Alas, as a woman, she can only watch helplessly as her two sons are destined to be unlucky in the future, it's really the work of fate playing tricks on people.

  After wiping away her tears, she hugged the two sons and told them that this book was not a good book and should not be practiced again in the future. Liu Xi and Liu Quan had always listened to their mother's words, so they both nodded.

  Later, Liu's wife put the "Sanqing Book" in a good package and placed it under the altar. Although she repeatedly warned him, she didn't know that Liu Quan was easy to persuade because he had not yet deeply entered the Tao. But Liu Xi was different, having listened to his brother talk about the book for ten years. The words of these books were already deeply etched in his mind. Every night when he went to sleep, he would unconsciously enter the realm of the "Sanqing Book".

  Decades later, Liu's wife was already old, and Liu Quan had also married a daughter-in-law. By the beginning of this year, no one would have known that, due to his long years of practice, the foolish Liu Xi's skills had actually surpassed those of the drunken Liu from back then.

  One day, when the family was having lunch together, Liu Xi, who was over 40 years old, suddenly said to Old Lady Liu: "Mom, someone wants to kill me, I think I'm going to die."

  Old Mrs. Liu heard her son talking nonsense and scolded: "You can't even shut your mouth while eating, what are you blabbering about? Eat quickly!"

  Liu Xi looked at his mother scolding him and didn't say anything else, but Liu Erbo saw it in his eyes. After all these years, he knew that his brother had cultivated the "San Qing Shu" to a certain level. He had basically reached the point of being able to predict things before they happened. Although his brother wasn't very smart, he wasn't stupid either and wouldn't say something like this for no reason.

  After lunch, Liu Xi went to the big stone at the village head as usual to bask in the sun. Liu Ershu also followed and sat on the big stone, asking his brother what he meant by what he said earlier.

  Liu Xi saw his brother ask himself, and with unclear mouth and tongue said: "The spoon is twisted into the palace, someone... wants to kill me. Old brother, I... haven't lived enough. Don't want to die... I want to... avoid disaster."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Xi went off with a clang. Liu Quan also slightly understood the divination technique, and when he heard "Shao Jie Ru Gong", he was greatly shocked. If his brother wasn't talking nonsense, then something big was indeed going to go wrong.

  The so-called Shao Jiao, is one of the five gods, the five gods are: Xi Shen, Xiong Shen, Dong Shen, Gu Shen, and Yin Shen. And Shao Jiao is also known as "Thirteen Yin Gods" along with Fu Chen, Jian Feng, Mo Yue, Jie Sha, Guan Suo, Tun Xian, Hui Qi, Tian Kong, Ji Jiao Sha, Zhi Bei, Tian Nan, Mai Er Sha.

  According to the interpretation in "Twelve Tai Sui Palace Star Theory", when Guan Jiao meets Yun, things give birth to troubles. Don't say that a scoop of water can stir up a hundred feet of waves. Men often harm people and suffer from hidden swords.

  Liu Quan knew his brother's abilities, and if he calculated his own fate, it would be more than 80% accurate. He had grown up playing with his brother since childhood, and although his brother was not clever, he was kind-hearted. Thinking of his brother still being unmarried, what if something happened to him? Wouldn't that cut off the family line?

  Liu Quan immediately ran back home, wanting to find a solution from the "San Qing Shu". However, when he arrived at Fang Pai's house, he was stunned - the "San Qing Shu" had vanished into thin air.

  It was probably taken away by Liu Xi, but what did he take the "Sanqing Book" for? Liu Quan had a vague premonition in his heart, and he busily searched for Liu Xi throughout the village, but couldn't find him.

  At this time, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Liu Xi was just out for a stroll. When Liu Xi hadn't returned by dinner time, Liu Quan thought to himself that something was wrong, and his foolish brother must have gone into hiding. However, the old lady was advanced in age, and this matter couldn't be let her know about it. He could only deceive the old lady, saying that his older brother wasn't feeling well, so he wouldn't eat dinner first, and later asked his wife to make some noodles for him to eat.

  Until after dinner, Liu Quan's wife told Liu Quan that their family was short of 300 yuan, and then Liu Quan completely believed that his brother had indeed gone out to hide from the disaster.

  Money is not a big deal, Liu Quan's biggest worry is that his foolish brother ran out alone, unfamiliar with the place. What if something goes wrong? And he only took 300 yuan, how can this be enough for one person to live on?

  So he hurriedly deceived the old lady and went along the highway to find his brother at night. As a result, he still couldn't find him. The thing Liu Quan feared most had happened, he knew that his brother was good at calculations and would definitely be able to figure out which road he took so as not to be found.

  He knew that the little divination he could do now was really insignificant, not worth mentioning. Liu Xi would definitely be able to figure out what he had calculated, so Liu Quan could only report it to the police.

  Although I have been searching for a year, although the police were informed, there was still no news of my brother in this year. This made Liu Quan sigh that it was indeed fate. He just hoped that his brother would be safe and sound.

  After listening to Liu Ershu's story about his brothers, I couldn't help but sigh and say that the Liu family, which was once prosperous in other people's eyes, also had such a bumpy fate. Even with the ability to predict the future, it is impossible to undo the pain of separation from one's own flesh and blood. From this, it can be seen that having supernatural powers is not necessarily a good thing.

  But isn't the "San Qing Shu" a book of the Orthodox Way? Why is it that something originally used to help others would bring about the retribution of the Five Corruptions and Three Deficiencies for oneself? Is this Heaven's mockery? Or is it truly because ordinary people are not worthy or capable of possessing such abilities?

  This also made me doubt "The Three Pure Ones" for the first time. However, I was too young at that time and didn't think deeply about it until some things happened later, which changed my thoughts again, but that's a story to be told later.
