Tianwei Chapter 285 Five Classics (2)
The last head of the Five Elements Clan was my mother. My mother said these words calmly, like a storm, and then she looked at me and chuckled: Now you understand why you need to be prepared?
How is this possible... Wasn't the previous Five Elements Patriarch the old Taoist's master? His master was a woman?
Come to think of it, although the old Taoist mentioned his master, he never said whether it was a man or a woman. It was just that I had a preconceived notion that the master of the Five Elements must be an old man. I didn't expect...
Hey, so that means the Taoist master must be my grandma?
But why didn't he mention it...
Because when I left the Five Elements Meridian, their fellow disciples had not yet gone up the mountain. My mother said: I originally planned to let me inherit the Five Elements Meridian, but my father disagreed and took me back to the small village. Later, my mother accepted two apprentices, but unfortunately, the inheritance of the Five Elements Meridian was finally coming to an end.
It doesn't have to end, the question is how you...
I said, the inheritance is over. Mother interrupted Grandpa Shi.
Grandpa Shi looked at her, then at me, his lips trembling slightly, but he didn't say anything. Looking at the two of them, I couldn't help but wonder, is Grandpa Shi planning to let me inherit the Five Elements Cultivation ?
What about the Eight Ropes inheritance?
Grandpa and grandma...did they separate because they were fighting over which family you should inherit? I asked.
I guess so. Mother said: The Five Elements and Eight Suo have always been closely related, and have been like a family for thousands of years. Father and mother, therefore, have been together since childhood. But for some reason, the Eight Suo lineage has been an only child for many generations. After the first child, they are no longer able to reproduce.
You too? I asked in surprise.
My mother nodded gently and said: So after I was born, my parents started to quarrel over this. Later, the current head of the Five Elements Clan passed away due to an accident, and my mother had to go back to inherit the family line. Because she was the eldest sister of the Five Elements Clan, there was no room for negotiation on this matter. My mother planned that I should learn the Five Elements first, and then the Eight Cords, after all, the Five Elements are the great way of heaven and earth, while the Eight Cords rely only on blood. But my father disagreed.
Why? I asked.
Because Dad believes that the Eight Cords inheritance comes from ancient times, passed down from generation to generation, and never connected to outsiders. If you want to learn it, you must learn the Eight Cords to the extreme and truly imprint this inheritance into your blood. Although the Five Elements are the Great Dao, they are not a blood inheritance, and are somewhat unworthy of the Eight Cords. Therefore, unless it is a true Five Classics inheritance, Dad will firmly disagree with combining the two inheritances in one person.
Mother was furious because of this, because what father said was belittling the Five Elements. You have been with him for a year, and you should understand how seriously the disciples of the Five Elements take this matter. So, in a fit of rage, mother left father, and even abandoned me, and went down the mountain to accept two disciples back.
Every time I come here, she always chases me away. She told me that the Five Elements will definitely produce someone more powerful than the Eight Ropes. She wants to prove to Dad that even if it is not a bloodline inheritance, the Five Elements is still no worse than any other lineage. Because this is the great way of heaven and earth, and the core of the Five Classics.
This... is too stubborn. A couple is separated just because of something like this, really... I smacked my lips. Although I couldn't quite understand it, I could understand their thoughts.
The old Taoist priest could kill people for the slightest insult to the Five Elements Meridian, so why couldn't my grandma do the same? These people valued the inheritance of the ancestral vein too much and would not tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in their eyes.
So you framed me later... I secretly glanced at the little beauty with my peripheral vision. She looked at her mother eagerly with a curious look on her face, and didn't seem to notice anything. I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: Is it because grandma and grandpa separated that they chose to abandon you and train another successor?
Yes. The mother nodded: Although I cannot forgive her, I understand her thoughts. However, I want her to know how important I am. I want her to understand that I am her daughter. No matter how good an apprentice she trains, this cannot change.
Uh, is this a kind of rebellious mentality?
I guess so. Mother smiled and said: Young and full of vigor, even if you have cultivated your Taoism to a high level, it is still difficult to resolve that trace of resentment.
But it’s not all grandma’s fault. If grandpa had been willing to give in, this wouldn’t have happened.
If it were me, I would not give in. Mother said: I have the same idea as Dad. The Eight Ropes are inherited from the bloodline, and they are what we should really practice. The Five Elements Meridian is an external force after all, and should be put behind. She just can't see which is more important.
I couldn't help but shake my head. How could I forget that my mother's character was also extremely stubborn, as stubborn as a rock. If she really thought it was my grandfather's fault, she might have secretly come to the Five Elements Pulse a long time ago. Since she didn't come, her thoughts were obvious.
From my perspective, it is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong in this kind of situation. It is just that when it comes to the parties involved, the invisible scale will have highs and lows. I cannot understand their thinking, just like I cannot understand those practitioners.
After all, they are the same kind of people. No matter whether they are strong or weak, the thoughts in their bones are always the same.
But then again, this is a pity. If the Five Elements and Eight Ropes can really be passed down to one person, what will happen? This person will most likely be as powerful as Grandpa... No! Maybe even more powerful than Grandpa.
Use the essence of the Eight Ropes' Taoism to perform the Five Elements Method... However, are the Five Elements meridians mixed into the Eight Ropes still the Five Elements?
Well, I'd better not think about this kind of right and wrong question. If you think too much, you will go bald.
Will Wudian definitely come here? I asked.
He will definitely come, said the mother with certainty.
Tianyou, go outside and think about how to deal with it. I want to talk to your mother about something. Grandpa Shi suddenly said.
Ah? Oh, I see... I nodded. Although I was a little dissatisfied with Grandpa Shi's deliberate avoidance of me, what else could I do when the two elders wanted to talk? I couldn't just lie on the ground and throw a tantrum.
Pulling the little beauty, who still had a curious look on her face, out of the house, I leaned outside and saw Tiansheng was still circling around Jiao Ye, but when he saw me come out, he immediately retreated far away.
I rolled my eyes and wanted to throw him off the mountain. This kid looks like Red Boy in Journey to the West. He has bad intentions. If he pisses me off one day, I will give him to you... Hey? I read the wrong script again.
Just as I was daydreaming, the beautiful girl suddenly let go of the hand that had been holding my clothes, and walked out of the Taoist temple without saying a word. When she passed by me, I saw that her face seemed a little gloomy.
I glanced at the closed door and didn't dare to ask immediately. After we walked out of the Taoist temple together, I whispered: What's wrong with you? You seem unhappy?
The little beauty kept walking forward without saying anything. I am most afraid of women like this, saying what they want to say, but playing dumb without saying a word.
What happened? Wasn't he fine just now? I asked.
What do you think? The little beauty suddenly yelled at me, but she seemed a little hesitant and lowered her voice immediately: Why am I unhappy? Why should I be happy? Don’t you know? Do you think I don’t know anything?
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly asked, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Don't understand? You know it better than anyone else! The little beauty snorted coldly, stood there, and said: Do you think I don't understand what you are saying? Why did my mother come to Wuxingmai to find the Wood Spirit Pill? Tell me why, tell me!
My heart trembled, and I felt a black screen in front of my eyes. This girl actually knew about that. Thinking about it, this is normal. How could the old woman not tell her daughter after experiencing such a great ordeal? I was still naively holding on to the fluke thought that the old woman had not mentioned it in front of her, really...
So you were in the house...
She is your mother! The little beauty said with a sullen face: You want me to have a falling out with her right now? Do you want me to be killed by her, or do you want me to do something? Do you think I know nothing and you feel great when you say that?
No way. I quickly said: Anyway, it was my mother who made the mistake first. She took advantage of me... Oh, anyway, it's all her fault. I was just afraid that you would do something stupid. You know, my mother is a bit... If you really piss her off, she will...
I'm not afraid! The little beauty suddenly shouted loudly.
Okay, okay, my little ancestor, I’m afraid, that’s enough... I quickly covered her mouth: Please speak softly, or you may hear it later.
I heard it woooo ...
Ouch, let go, let go, stop biting!
The beautiful girl let go, but still looked at me with resentful eyes and said: I don’t want to implicate innocent people, otherwise I will bite you to death to vent my anger!
Okay, okay, wait until I save you, then you can bite me as much as you want. Even if you take off all my clothes...
Bah! Hooligan! The beautiful girl kicked me fiercely: All men are bad!
When I grimaced, she added: Women are not good either!
I wanted to laugh but also felt pained. She immediately reacted, blushed, and then said sternly: If it weren't for the fact that you could save him, today I would have to...
Okay, okay, anything is fine, even if you ask me to give birth to a child for you, as long as after today...
Bah! Who wants to have a baby with you? Shame on you! The little beauty kicked again.
I quickly dodged: You are murdering your husband!
Kiss you big-headed ghost! Go kiss a ghost! She chased after him, cursing.
It is better to be close to you than to a ghost, and it is better to be a close neighbor than distant water. Just consider it as a loss for me.
Wait till I catch you and tear your stinky mouth to pieces! The little beauty cursed angrily.
I know that she can do what she says, so for the sake of my mouth, I'd better stay away from her. As I was running forward, I felt my foot trip and fell to the ground with a plop.
The nose hit the ground directly, and the pain almost made my brain explode. Before I could come to my senses, I felt a weight on my back, and someone stepped on me, saying: You are born with good qualities, I will buy you meat later. Let you run! Let you run! I will step on you to death! Let you talk nonsense!
I was stepped on and felt dizzy and my eyes were full of stars. The stars lit up and illuminated my future...
Tiansheng! Don't let me catch you! Ouch, can you step more gently? Can you hold on to the horizontal bar? Can't I pay for it?
