Chapter 3 The Woman in Black

Hearing this sound, Hu Duan Gong's body shook.

??Quickly put down the scales in his hand, tidy up his clothes and opened the door.

??The door creaked open and a woman walked in.

??The woman was wearing black clothes, with a black cloth covering her face, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

??This is a pair of extremely moving eyes, with clear black and white.

??It is as bright as the stars in the sky, and it is also like a cold pond of autumn water, extremely deep.

??It seems that you can see the depths of a person's soul at a glance.

??But for some reason, her outfit gives me a familiar feeling, and I always feel like I have seen it somewhere.

??I tried hard to recall, but I couldn't remember it at all.

??Tap,tap,tap...

??The woman's footsteps sounded and walked towards me step by step.

??She was wearing a pair of wooden clogs, wet.

??There are still water plants wrapped around it, and every step you take will leave footprints on the floor.

At this moment, I suddenly discovered something, there was only her footprints on the floor, but no sign of her.

??In an instant, this discovery made me feel cold all over my body.

??I finally remembered who she was, the woman in black mentioned before Qin Chunsheng's death.

??The sound of women's footsteps getting closer and closer, and my heart became more and more panicked.

??Soon after, the woman walked up to me, stretched out a cold hand and hooked my chin.

"You are afraid of me?"

??I dare not look at her or speak.

?? "Qin Jue, even if everyone in the world is afraid of me, you shouldn't be afraid of me."

??As he said that, the woman let go of her hand, still standing in front of me, staring at me coldly.

?? "Who are you?" I swallowed and asked with courage.

?? "You don't have to worry about who I am. I came here today to tell you that your mother's corpse, including your mother's life experience, can be found in me. No one can tell you the truth except me."

??The woman in black mentioned my mother's life experience, which aroused my strong curiosity and made me temporarily forget my fear.

??I only know that my mother is a silly girl, and the villagers call her that.

??No one knows her name, and no one cares about her origin.

??In the past, I didn’t think about tracing my mother’s life experience. Until today, I found the scale in her coffin, which made me suspicious.

?? "Can you tell me about my mother?" I asked.

?? "I can tell you, but not now. You don't have the right to know the truth at all. Even if I tell you everything, what can you do for your mother?"

??When she said this, the woman turned her back and said in a cold tone: "In the past eighteen years, you have lived not even as good as a dog. It is said that mother is precious by her son. If your mother is still alive, I think she will definitely regret giving birth to such a waste!"

??These words were like cold whips, whipping my only remaining self-esteem.

??When Qin Chun lived, I hated him to death, and hated him not treat me as a human being, but after he died, I realized that without him, I didn’t even have the qualification to gain a foothold in Jiuxingwan.

??The people in the village wanted me, a wild man, to get out early so that he could occupy Qin Chunsheng's land and courtyard.

??Actually, I also thought about leaving, but I have little study and no skill. I can still farm and support myself when I stay in Jiuxing Bay. I don’t know how to survive when I get outside.

??It's like a skinny dog, everyone can kick it, but they even have to find food to eat.

I'm very cowardly, but can I blame all this?

My mother died just after I was born, and I don’t know who my father is.

??For so many years, I thought I had been numb and would not take care of my poor self-esteem anymore. But for some reason today, I tried my best but couldn't hold back my tears.

??Big tears rolled on my face, and I was caught by a black book before it even landed.

??This is an ancient book. The copper seal is covered with copper rust, and the black seal is filled with water, just like it was just fished out of the water.

??The woman in black pinched the book cover with her snow-white fingers, and caught my tears. Then I heard her sigh.

?? "Qin Jue, what you are experiencing now is not your true destiny."

?? "Then tell me, what is my real fate?" I asked with a sob.

?? "Your destiny is written in this book, and Hu Zizhi will teach you how to read it. It's time for me to leave. I hope you won't be as afraid of me as you are today when we see you next time."

??After saying that, the woman in black wiped away the tears from my face with her hands and turned around and walked out the door. The night outside the door was pitch black. As soon as she walked into the yard, the people merged with the darkness and disappeared...

??As soon as the woman in black left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became awkward.

??I just got emotionally excited and forgot about Hu Duan Gong's existence. Only then did I think of him. It was so embarrassing to see me crying.

??But no matter how embarrassing it is, you still have to ask what you should ask.

?? "Mr. Hu Duan, is she a ghost?"

??"no."

?? "But she has no shadow, only ghosts will have no shadow."

?? "Look at the incense on the shrine, you will understand. If she is a ghost, there will definitely be problems with the incense."

??When I first came in, Mr. Hu Duan lit three incense sticks for the ancestor. Now most of the three incense sticks have been burned, and the rest is still burning.

??The cigarette is straight and the three incense burns at the same rate.

??The incense is sound, which means that the ancestor Sanmao has acquiesced to the existence of women in black, which means that women in black cannot be evil.

?? "Mr. Hu Duan, you want me to come to you tonight, is it to meet her?"

??Hong Hu Duan nodded silently.

?? "Who is she and why did she know about my mother?"

?? "Qin Jue, you don't need to know who she is now. You just need to know that she has no malicious intentions towards you, otherwise you wouldn't have given such a precious book to you."

??I heard what Hu Duan Gong said, and I remembered that I still had a book in my hand, and I studied it carefully with the candlelight.

??The seal of this book is made of copper, and the cover is like the leather of some kind of animal.

??I opened the book and found that the pages were not made of paper, but a kind of veil as thin as a cicada's wings.

??The words in the book are not written, but are embroidered with black silk thread.

??Each needle and thread, extremely neat, with beautiful and dignified fonts.

?? Unfortunately, the characters are in ancient style, so I naturally can’t understand them with my academic qualifications.

??I handed the book to Hu Duan Gong and wanted him to help me see what the book was written, but he waved his hands repeatedly and said that she gave me the book only I could read, and I didn't want to touch it.

?? "She wants you to teach me how to read it, but if you don't even look at it, how can you teach me?" I asked.

?? "Qin Jue, you misunderstood her meaning. She asked me to teach you how to read, not to teach you what is in the book, but to teach you how to recognize words. Remember, only you can read this book, and you must not show it to others."

?? "Why?" I asked.

?? "The Taoist sect accepts disciples all the masters look for disciples. From the moment you take over this book, it means you have taken over her legacy."

?? "What kind of inheritance?" I asked again.

?? "The Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth are the way, and the Unpredictable Yin and Yang are the gods."

Hu Duan Gong said that this sentence represents the way of yin and yang.

??Dao produces yang, yang produces yin, yin and yang produces Tai Chi, and Tai Chi produces all things.

??The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Stars, Constellations, Gods, Qimen Dunjia, Feng Shui Ge, etc. derived from this can all be called the Way of Yin and Yang.

??I heard a lot and asked him what the use of learning these things is. I don’t want to be a Taoist priest or Duan Gong.

?? "The ultimate purpose of all practice is to know your destiny and cultivate your destiny, but you are different. I have helped you see the eight characters, and your destiny will die if you don't change."

? "What's my life?"

?? "Chen and Xu clash, and Kuigang will be seen on the sun."
