Lure the tiger away from the mountain
Lin Huaijin doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he still understands the basics.
Is it true that there are Taoist things in the belly of the Buddha statue?
"How do you know it's peach wood? I can't tell it's peach wood at all."
Xu Roujun pointed to a mark and showed it to Lin Huaijin.
Lin Huaijin looked over. Sure enough, there were three words carved there with a knife: Peach Wood Sword.
He had to open his eyes wide and get very close before he could make out the words on it.
Lin Huaijin said: "You have really good eyes, you can see this."
He flipped the sword over. "It looks like there's some inscription here too."
Lin Huaijin brought the sword closer and read the words on it slowly. "Sophora japonica sword."
Xu Roujun's eyes widened.
This is a yin-yang wooden sword.
It turns out that this pair of wooden swords was used as a container to absorb the Lin family's luck and then give the bad luck to the Lin family to ensure the balance of the swords.
Lin Huaijin looked it up and down and finally commented: "It's just an ordinary wooden sword."
Just as Xu Roujun was about to tell him that this was no ordinary wooden sword, she saw the evil spirit within it suddenly dissipate and disappear, along with the reddish-purple luck it had absorbed.
What was in Lin Huaijin's hand at this moment was exactly as he said.
It's just an ordinary wooden sword.
Xu Roujun pointed at the bronze statue and asked Lin Huaijin, "Do you think this Buddha statue is effective?"
Lin Huaijin said: "If a copper craft can make a wish come true simply by worshipping it without any effort, then the craftsman would be a god in this world."
The moment Lin Huaijin finished speaking.
The bronze statue, which had originally emitted a faint heat, also returned to its cold state.
Xu Roujun has all five senses.
She immediately touched the Buddha statue's head.
It's not hot at all.
Xu Roujun looks at Lin Huaijin with different eyes.
"You... don't believe in God?"
Lin Huaijin asked Xu Roujun, "Do you think there are gods in this world?"
Xu Roujun said, "Maybe there is. It has a mysterious thing called luck. It can make ordinary people rise to the top in one step, and it can also make the strongest people fall from the altar."
Lin Huaijin threw the peach wood sword back into the belly of the Buddha statue and prepared to cover the Buddha's head again. "Have you seen him?"
Xu Roujun said: "No."
"Since you haven't even seen it, how can you believe it exists?"
Xu Roujun had no choice but to believe in its existence. All her spiritual energy circulation was based on it.
Lin Huaijin held the Buddha's head and tried to twist it around the Buddha's neck for a long time, but it wouldn't fit in.
"Um...Mr. Ye, please help me, I can't turn it back."
Lin Huaijin: "Teacher Ye, how did you unscrew it?"
Xu Roujun gestured. "Just like this, like this, and then it comes out."
I stood in the knee-high fountain and tossed and turned until after four in the morning.
The sky gradually brightened and birds began to sing in the woods.
Lin Huaijin frowned and moved closer to the screw mouth, and found that one place was directly knocked crooked.
"I was wondering why I couldn't get it back."
A loud thunder came from a distance.
It's going to rain.
Xu Roujun and Lin Huaijin looked at each other.
Xu Roujun immediately said, "We didn't break it. It was damaged by thunder, and it happened to protect the family from disaster."
Lin Huaijin immediately accepted Xu Roujun's proposal.
He said, "Okay, let's go take a break."
The two of them left the yard in perfect tacit understanding, as if no one had ever been there.
Lin Huaijin lay down on the bed and closed his eyes before checking the time on his watch. "Four twenty."
He closed his eyes and when he opened them again it was already seven o'clock the next day.
His surroundings also changed from his own bedroom to a hospital.
Lin Huaijin: “…”
The nurse came in with a notebook to check on the ward. She glanced at Lin Huaijin lying on the bed and asked about his physical condition.
Lin Huaijin: "I'm fine, but where is this?"
Nurse: "You slept at home all day, and your family was worried. So they sent you to the hospital."
Lin Huaijin couldn't believe it. "I slept at home all day?"
The nurse nodded.
"Your test results are on your bedside."
Lin Huaijin picked up the examination results from the bedside table.
There were hurried footsteps outside the ward, and Lin Ayu ran into the ward carrying an aluminum lunch box.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Lin Huaijin sitting up and looking at the list.
She ran to Lin Huaijin happily. "Brother, you finally woke up. I thought you were going to die. No matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up."
Lin Huaijin touched his sister's head and said, "How could you possibly die when I haven't seen you grow up yet?"
"Brother, let me tell you, our yard was struck by lightning."
Lin Huaijin asked, "How did you know our house was struck by lightning?"
Lin Ayu: "The head and body of the Buddha statue in our yard were split in half. My parents specially invited a Taoist priest to come and take a look at our house. They said that the statue was used to ward off disasters and we need to get a new one."
Lin Huaijin: "Can't the fountain at home just be a fountain? Putting a Buddha statue in it doesn't look good."
Just as Lin Huaijin finished speaking, a couple walked into the ward.
Lin Ming said: "Look at you, you drank so much that you almost ruined your reputation. Don't drink so carelessly anymore."
Liang Yunmeng patted her husband's arm, then turned to Lin Huaijin and said, "Your father is worried about you too."
Lin Huaijin asked his parents, "What did the doctor say?"
Lin Ming replied, "The doctor told you to take good care of yourself. I've also requested sick leave for you from school. You should take good care of yourself. There's no need to rush back to work."
Lin Huaijin: "Okay."
It seemed like the matter had just passed.
As soon as Lin Huaijin returned home after being discharged from the hospital, he saw a bronze Buddha statue.
Lin Huaijin remembered what he saw in the Buddha statue's belly that night.
So when he came back, he leaned over to look at the junction of the Buddha statue's neck and body.
When I looked closely, I saw a thin, almost invisible seam.
Before he knew it, Lin Huaijin found himself inside the fountain. One of his hands had already touched the Buddha's head.
Nanny Zhou's voice echoed in Linhuai Jingdong's ears. "Master, why are you walking into the water right after you got out of the hospital? What if you get wet?"
As she spoke, she pulled Lin Huaijin out of the fountain.
Lin Huaijin followed Nanny Zhou out. He looked at the Buddha statue and asked Nanny Zhou, "Where did my dad buy the Buddha statue? Why are there so many similar ones?"
Nanny Zhou said, "Do you want to buy it?"
Lin Huaijin was stunned for a moment. "I'm just curious, are there any more of this?"
Nanny Zhou said, "Master, if you want one, I'll ask someone to bring one to you."
Lin Huaijin looked at the nanny: "So it was you, Aunt Zhou, who introduced her to my dad."
Nanny Zhou nodded.
Nanny Zhou has always known that Lin Huaijin does not believe in ghosts and gods, so the luck of the entire Lin family can be absorbed, but Lin Huaijin's luck cannot be absorbed away.
As long as Lin Huaijin's luck is there, the Lin family will not be extinct.
The luck that has been sucked away will slowly recover.
The luck that was absorbed was only borrowed for a short time.
The only way to completely destroy the Lin family's luck and prevent it from ever recovering is to make everyone in the Lin family believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.
Nanny Zhou said, "My second uncle knew a carving master who went to the mountains to practice Buddhism for a while. When he came back, the Buddha statues he carved became spiritual, and everyone around him said they said any wishes he made would come true. Young Master, since you've just recovered from a serious illness and returned home, why not make a wish to get rid of the bad energy in your body?"
Lin Huaijin had already walked out of the fountain. "I'm not sick, why should I get rid of the disease?"
Nanny Zhou saw Lin Huaijin about to go into the house, so she pulled Lin Huaijin to stop him and said, "After all, he has been to the hospital, so he will definitely bring some illness back with him. It's better to pray for the safety of his family."
Lin Huaijin: "If you ask me to step over a fire basin to be sterilized at high temperature, I'm willing to do that. What's the point of worshipping the Buddha statue?"
After saying this, Lin Huaijin turned around and went back into the house.
I just walked into the fountain pool, and now my shoes and pants are all wet. Lin Huaijin just wants to go back to the house and change his pants, shoes and socks.
Xu Roujun had recovered well over the past two days, and her pale face had recovered. She had also seen a lot of the things that the Lin family used to absorb luck.
This disaster is going to cut off the root of the Lin family's fortune.
Unfortunately, Lin Huaijin doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all.
But Lin Ming and Liang Yunmeng believed in this thing without a doubt.
So during these two days, when the Lin family was replacing the new Buddha statue, she had already established her image as a charlatan in front of Lin Ming and his wife.
When Lin Ming knew that the Buddha statue was struck by lightning, he still asked Nanny Zhou to replace it. This seemed to be an extremely normal thing, but now it seems that something is very wrong.
Xu Roujun repeatedly told Lin Ming and Liang Yunmeng to keep a low profile, saying that she was just an ordinary tutor for their daughter.
Lin Ming readily agreed to this request: "Don't worry, Master, I will never let anyone see it."
Xu Roujun: “…”
"I mean: Teacher Ye."
It's the weekend.
After Xu Roujun finished teaching Lin Ayu the course, she let Lin Ayu move freely.
Recently, Xu Roujun discovered that Lin Ayu is a very smart child.
She used to be forgetful. But since those filthy creatures stopped sucking away Lin Ayu's luck, she has a photographic memory. This child is also very smart and has the ability to draw inferences from one instance.
After staying in the house for a long time, Lin Ayu suggested, "Teacher Ye, I'm so bored at home, why don't you take me to the city?"
Hearing Lin Ayu's request to go to the city to play, Xu Roujun said, "If you want to go, you must tell your parents."
Lin Ayu said, "Teacher Ye, my parents won't mind if you accompany me."
Xu Roujun, who was short of money, said, "You should call your parents and tell them."
Lin Ayu had no choice but to go to the living room, take out the landline phone and make a call.
It took a long time.
Lin Ayu jumped up to Xu Roujun and said, "Teacher Ye, my parents agreed. Come on, the phone downstairs is still connected."
So Xu Roujun and Lin Ayu prepared to go to the county town to play.
But before leaving, Lin Ayu said she wanted to carry her favorite rabbit bag.
When Lin Huaijin came out of the house, he saw Lin Ayu carrying the rabbit backpack.
Lin Huaijin asked, "Where are you going?"
Lin Ayu: "Teacher Ye and I are going to the city to play."
Lin Huaijin: “…”
He remembered that Xu Roujun and his mother said that wages should be paid on a daily basis.
"Then wait for me, I'll go with you."
Lin Ayu stopped and tilted her head to look at Lin Huaijin: "Brother, what are you doing in the city?"
Lin Huaijin: "The batteries in my radio are out of power. Go buy some."
"Oh! That's just right for us to join you." Lin Ayu was extremely happy. "Brother, can you take me to the movies and go boating today?"
"not good."
"I haven't rowed in ages."
"Then let's go boating. There's no movie to watch."
Lin Ayu: "No, I want them all."
