Mr. Li's eyes were filled with shock, his heart was trembling, and he thought he had heard it wrong.
"Fu Li." Xiao Cunyu was very calm. "Your ancestor was once an ordinary country gentleman. Later, by chance, he met Taoist Fu Li. Because there were some problems with the ancestral tomb, he asked Taoist Fu Li for help to eliminate the bad luck and gather blessings. Taoist Fu Li found that your family's situation was quite difficult to handle. The problem with the ancestral tomb even affected many people in the surrounding area, so he took action to solve it."
"Originally, everything was fine. However, when Taoist Fuli finally attracted the lightning, for some unknown reason, he was struck to death by it as well. He had no children and was a homeless person, so your ancestors buried him. However, he had a magical weapon with him, the Seven-Star Sword. There were patterns of the Big Dipper on both sides of the sword, and a dragon on the left and a tiger on the right of the hilt. Your ancestors should have kept this thing. Is it still there?" Xiao Cunyu tried his best to explain in detail.
Li Chu was confused when he heard this: "We still have this thing at home?"
Mr. Li was very surprised. He never thought that such a young child could tell exactly what happened!
His grandson is too young, and he hasn't told him the secret yet!
"Yes." The old man nodded. "My ancestor's original surname was Jiao. At that time, our family was in a difficult situation and everything was going wrong. Seeing that our family was on the verge of decline, we happened to meet Master Li. He helped with some divinations and solved a major problem. However, we never expected that Master Li would lose his life. My ancestor was not a heartless person. He felt guilty about Master Li and buried him with honor. Thinking that the things Master Li left behind must be good, he treated the sword as a family heirloom and has been worshipping it ever since. Thinking that Master Li died alone and in such a tragic way, he felt uneasy, so he changed his surname to Li, made a tablet for him, and worshipped him every year."
After hearing this, Li Chu also remembered.
There is indeed a special tablet at the top of the ancestral hall, and it does not mention which relative it belongs to.
But ever since he was born, he would kowtow to the tablet a few more times every year.
"It's true that Taoist Fuli died a tragic death, but he saved many people in his life. Perhaps he revealed too many secrets or was too powerful, so he lost his life early. There's no need to be too sad. Your family is lucky. If it weren't for the annual offerings to him and the karmic relationship, your family wouldn't be so prosperous. It's just that the bearded man... Fuli, was very worried about the Seven Star Sword, so he asked me to take it away and place it in the Taoist temple." Xiao Cunyu said seriously.
"Trust you?" The old man was stunned.
"Yes, I am also a cultivator, and I have some ability to communicate between yin and yang. He entrusted me with this when I was young, but I was not in the capital at that time, so this matter has never been done." Xiao Cunyu said again.
The old man thought about it carefully.
No outsiders knew about the Fu Li incident. Xiao Cunyu could explain it so clearly, so it must be true.
only……
"This sword is no longer in my house." Old Master Li sighed.
"Isn't it a family heirloom?" Xiao Cunyu was confused.
"Yes, but about twenty or thirty years ago, the sword seemed to have lost its luster and became increasingly dull. No matter how hard we polished it, it just lost its former splendor. My family was very worried about this. Firstly, we were afraid it would affect our fortunes, and secondly, we were worried that the sword's fate had ended. Later, we found a master from the Nantai Temple to take a look. He said that the world was in chaos and the aura of killing was too strong. The Seven Star Sword was a treasure of an enlightened person, so it was affected."
