Since ancient times, twin brothers must have been regarded as a taboo. Unlike twins, which make the whole family happy, the ancients believed that twins would definitely mess up their fortune. Therefore, once a woman gave birth to twins, she would definitely give them away.

Only one person can feel at ease. Once the child is born, because he is too weak to let go, he will not be too harsh, so he will temporarily allow the child to be raised until he is one year old before giving it away. Then, even if the mother is no longer willing to let go, she will have to reluctantly give up.

As for which one to give, it can only be chosen by God and the birth mother.

The daughter of an elder in the dark palace of Xiyuan happened to give birth to two such children. The two children were extremely healthy. The one who landed first looked very nimble and never cried.

He only grabs things at hand, and his two big eyes that look like black grapes seem to be insightful when looking at people, which makes him even more endearing.

The woman's husband's surname was Lei. She was previously rich and wealthy, and her life was supposed to be smooth. However, she was assassinated by her enemies. She was left to return to the secret palace with her posthumous child, but she never thought that she would meet the twins again.

, and was even more depressed for a time. At that time, the Imperial Preceptor of Xiyuan had already become famous. Because her husband’s family had some connection with the Imperial Preceptor, the woman knelt outside the Imperial Preceptor’s door and begged for more than a month.

I was able to see the attendants beside the Imperial Master.

"The Imperial Master said that what Madam wishes is for both sons to be safe and prosperous. He has two small golden locks here to give to them. Everything they wish for can be granted, but Madam should know the price."

As the waiter spoke, he passed forward the wooden tray in his hand. It was covered with a piece of yellow satin. When you opened it, you could see two small gold locks. They were very delicate. One read

"Longevity, Longevity, Longevity, Longevity, and Health" was written on it, lying on a tray also covered with brocade.

From then on, the two twins in the dark palace had names. One was named Lei Gan and the other was named Lei Yu. They both wore a small gold lock around their necks, but their mother's health became worse day by day.

Day by day, I became increasingly weak.

Lei Gan had just turned one when he was taken away. Later, when his mother thought about it, she always regretted not being able to see the child again.

He was born very dexterous, and his eyes were always clear when looking at his mother, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It was probably because of his appearance that he made his mother feel that this child could be fine even if he was not with her, so he was born just after his first birthday.

A day later, I took my child and headed to the house I had contacted before.

"I see that this child is very destined to Pindao. Since Madam wants to send this child away, why not give it to Pindao?"

They were originally sitting in a carriage, and only she and the wealthy family knew about this. After all, if the children sent out were publicized too much, they would definitely not be able to stay at home safely in the future. It would not be a good thing for both families. However, in

On the way to that house, he was suddenly blocked by a Taoist priest.

I don’t know if he was startled by the sudden words of the Taoist priest in front of him. Lei Gan, who never likes to cry, suddenly started crying loudly. The voice was loud and he couldn’t stop crying no matter how he coaxed him. So the woman opened the door

Behind the curtain of the carriage, she asked someone to help her get off the horse. What she saw was a middle-aged Taoist priest. He had nothing in his hands and only a cloth bag on his back. He looked kind and did not look like a man with treacherous thoughts.

"I don't know why the elder said this? My son was born well-behaved, but he didn't even have time to love him. Why would he give it away to ask for help?" She was not a simple person, and she would give the child away with just one sentence.

If a person harbors evil intentions, wouldn’t it mean that his children will fall into the abyss throughout their lives?

The Taoist priest seemed to know what the woman in front of him was thinking, so he smiled, saluted the woman and said: "Madam, there is no need to worry about it. I am a poor Taoist who travels everywhere. I just watched the stars at night and figured out that I will have a disciple."

My son was born into the world. The divination the day before yesterday showed that the direction pointed was the West Abyss, so he rushed here. Come here today and wait for you, madam."

Having said this, he took two more steps forward and came to the front. A strand of beard and hair was blown by the wind and was brought to the hand of the still crying baby. He didn't know why he kept coaxing him and didn't stop crying.

The child actually pulled Nasu and started laughing, laughing softly.

Probably because this scene was too impressive, the woman who was still on guard before was a little shaken now. She looked at the child in her arms who was still looking at the Taoist priest smiling, and then looked up at the standing child.

The hands of the Taoist priest teasing the child were trembling a little. After all, no one thought that the child would be destined to a wandering Taoist priest. She originally thought that it would be enough to raise her in a wealthy family and live a stable life.

"Madam, destiny cannot be violated. This child will eventually enter my Taoist gate. Even if he doesn't go with Pindao today, he will go to the mountain gate in the future."

Mostly because of hearing these words, she finally handed over the child to the Taoist priest she had never met before. After watching the Taoist priest take Lei Gan away, she didn't know why she still felt empty in her heart. The woman couldn't bear it.

I shed tears.

The little Taoist boy has been following his master for ten years. He has not liked worldly things since he was a child. He always likes to run to places with mountains and rivers. Once he is taught by his master, he will find a small bush to hide in. If he is found, he will also hide.

Waiting for his round eyes to smile at Master. He starts reading and practicing Taoism in the morning, and in the evening he has to learn divination and stargazing with Master. Occasionally, this little basket boy will go to the river to catch two fish. Of course

It's not for eating, it's for displaying in a vat.

"Master, what can we do by learning these things?"

The little Taoist boy watched the master once again take the copper coins and start shaking them in his hands. As he threw them down and picked them up again and again, all the hexagrams on the paper were revealed. They were Yang Yao again, but

This time it is a moving hexagram. It seems that this hexagram will change in the end.

At this time, the originally middle-aged man had some mottled beard and hair. He looked at the young apprentice opposite him and smiled and said: "These can give us a warning and point us in the direction. Only when we know some things can we decide what to do."

How to do it? Master was counting on you just now."

Hearing the master's words, the little Taoist boy's eyes widened, but he did not look happy. He looked at the few copper coins on the table, shook his head and said: "Master, it's not like you don't know that our children can't tell fortunes."

Yes, the number is uncertain before it is accomplished, how can we calculate it?"

Generally speaking, this sentence made the Taoist priest very happy. Yes, this child was born with wisdom. As long as he was taught something, he could remember it in his mind without repeating it. So what he said was right. What he just said

He couldn't figure anything out, so he changed his mind frequently. For such a sensible child, he wanted to know how much success he could achieve in the future, and what was the reason why strange things started to happen from him among the stars.

Like, what was originally a dead situation turned into a life situation.

It's just that he never saw it after all, because the end was approaching and his life span was also determined. When it was approaching, he looked at the grown disciple in front of him. At this time, Lei Gan's eyes were full of sadness. Even though he was born with wisdom, After all, he is just a child who has never experienced anything in the world. It would be great if he could live longer.

"There is no need to feel sad. We, as cultivators, are going through hardships in this world. Everything is inevitable. Everyone has to experience separation and death. The end of your life as a teacher is approaching. I only hope that you can benefit the common people in the future. It is not feasible. Evil thing." He said and put his hand on his little apprentice's head, then patted it and said: "Your mother specially asked for that golden lock. Unless it is something important, you must never take it off. This is Once you die, this is the only thing that can solve your calamity."

Later, the old Taoist priest passed away and was dug into a grave by his young disciples. He was buried in a place that was not exposed to mountains and water. Due to all kinds of luck, borrowing money will eventually have to be paid back. It is better to do it from the beginning. It's clean and you can calculate cause and effect easily without borrowing anything.

After the old Taoist priest was gone, the young Taoist priest began to travel to various places on his own. He visited many places and met many people. Each time, he had different insights. His appearance gradually matured, and he who was originally immature also changed. He must be like his master. Even his master's habits have gradually been learned. The little Taoist priest has become a serious Taoist priest like his master. He also likes to watch the astronomical phenomena every night, and also likes to do divination in his spare time. Although many times the things of divination have little to do with him.

For some reason, the Taoist priest suddenly saw an originally dim star on the horizon one day, which lit up briefly, and then fell down. The stars next to it also began to slowly change. The surrounding stars actually changed dramatically after half a month. A big change. The Taoist priest imitated his master in divination and calculation, but in the end he could not figure out what the situation was. Day and night, this matter was stuck in the Taoist priest's mind. Suddenly one day, he felt a movement in his heart. He immediately pinched his fingers.

The weather was very sunny that day, at the turn of spring and summer. The stream was very cool, and the surrounding small animals also liked to drink water here. He walked upstream along the stream, picking herbs at the same time. While looking around, the Taoist priest calculated that the person who had cause and effect with him would definitely appear here. Where would that person be?

Until he saw a man sitting beside the stream.

"Young master, are you waiting for me?" He looked at the young man's dumbfounded face, fearing that he would frighten the young man, so he showed a kind smile and said: "Although it is cool by the water, it is not good for the body, or is it? Get up quickly."

Seeing that the man finally reacted, he nodded and took the man back.

Later, the two people began to learn Taoism in the mountains. Those years were the most leisurely time for Taoist priests. I don’t know why they suddenly remembered the master who had returned to the west. It’s just that the Taoist priest made a divination before going to the young man. This person has a relationship with him to learn Taoism, but the cause and effect is a bit bigger, and he cannot be called a master or disciple. Therefore, whenever the young man wants to become a disciple or ask his teacher, he always refuses. Mostly, he also wants to To avoid this cause and effect?

The Taoist priest began to teach young people the art of metaphysics, whether it was divination or hexagrams, and he tried his best, but there was only one thing he never taught young people how to watch stars, because stargazing can see too much. That young man is too young, and people with strong obsessions can sometimes do things that they cannot even imagine.

However, there are some things that cannot be avoided because the cause and effect have already been determined.

"Taoist Priest." That was when the young man had mastered divination. He looked at the divination results in his hand and felt a little confused. Then he hid the note in his hand behind his back, as if he was afraid of the Taoist priest.

See what you divined.

However, a person who knows his son better than his father can really hide it from the person who taught him his skills?

When he saw the star in the sky begin to twinkle, he already knew that it had begun. He was already thirty-six years old that year. In the past six years, he had given many of his skills to

The young man thought it was time to say goodbye.

"The fate between you and me has ended. Young master, please go where you should go. I am also going to see an old friend from afar." The Taoist priest looked at the young man with a clear face and closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made up his mind.

.

Later, when the Taoist priest saw the young man leaving the valley, he also began to prepare things for his long journey. It had been many years since he had gone down the mountain. To be honest, he was really not used to it. After packing his things, the Taoist priest packed up the entire yard.

They all locked up and headed south. The mountains were beautiful, and there was only one Taoist priest walking alone in the mountains.

Xiyuan had already undergone some changes at that time. The national master had become more and more powerful. The Taoist priest had also seen him from a distance. He was much more powerful than him. I was afraid that the master would only be able to compete with him when he was alive. It was a pity that the master

The lifespan cannot compete with it, after all, they are not cultivating the same Tao.

When they saw their brothers, the expressions on the faces of the Taoist priest and Lei Yu were completely different. They smiled and were startled. They stood in the valley, and the shadows of the trees fell on the man wearing Taoist robes, like gods.

It wasn't until a pine cone fell and hit the man that Lei Yu came to his senses.

His mother passed away when he was very young, and in the remaining time, only his grandfather taught him how to look at him. He also said that he would have an identical brother in this world, so when Lei Yu saw his brother

I was extremely happy when I was there, but while I was happy, I was very confused as to why my brother appeared here? Could it be some kind of chance?

"I made a divination the day before yesterday. This hexagram involves you, so I came here. I hope you can be prepared." The Taoist priest naturally knew what Lei Yu was thinking at that time. He just pointed at the dark palace with his finger.

direction, he gave a salute and said: "Everything is fate. Everything should be in the dark palace. The woman with the body of all poisons is just fate. She and her descendants will have a disaster in their lives. It is just a love debt. You

If we had been prepared, we might have been able to help that woman escape."

Lei Yu naturally knew who the body of ten thousand poisons was, but the child was still in his prime years and had never left the dark palace, so he believed his words somewhat, so he came to Lei Gan and wanted to

After hearing the truth, it was also because their meeting this time actually allowed Tang Yiyi's mother to escape. That's why Lei Yu had such an attitude when he saw Ji Bo'an. In fact, Lei Yu would have thought of his brother's words.

Scared.

After meeting his compatriot brother, the Taoist priest returned to the mountains and forests again. At that time, the country in Daliang was no longer turbulent, and there was no need for him to go down the mountain to practice.

Later, in order to ensure that what he had learned would not be lost in his hands, the Taoist priest picked up a small doll from the stream. It was a doll that was floating down the river. No family could afford to raise it. There was still a baby in his arms.

The mother would probably be reluctant to give up the birth date of this little child.

Slowly, the child he picked up grew up. He liked to play in the mountains just like he did when he was a child, but his understanding was not as strong as his own back then. He often had to say things twice before he could remember them. Occasionally,

He would also say that he had drawn a spell incorrectly, causing the entire table to turn black.

"Master, please don't hit me. You always smile at others. How can you treat a child like me who is either about to hit or is already hitting me all day long?" Although the child is not good at learning and understanding, the important thing is that he has grown up.

His clever mind always makes Taoist priests laugh.

When the Taoist priest sees the little Taoist priest growing up day by day and becoming more sensible every day, he will think that he has inherited the inheritance and is finally worthy of his master's sect.

In this way, spring passed and autumn came for decades. By the time Ji Bo'an was born, the Taoist priest was already nearly fifty years old. I don't know if it was a matter of practicing in the valley, but his appearance had not changed much.

It was just like the appearance when he went down the mountain. Every day, every day, he could see the changes in the star. For some reason, the extremely important star that he had seen became increasingly dimmer. It felt like it was early.
