Chapter 733: Master’s Death
Li Qingxian walked out of the house, chatted with everyone for a while, and then invited Hu Jizu to come in alone.
Li Qingxian sat down and Hu Jizu stood.
The two had met twice at the Mingshu Tea House, and this was the third time they met in the strange place.
Li Qingxian had long deduced that this person was related to him because he was a descendant of the Star Chess Master.
This time Hu Jizu also followed him into the strange place, and the cause and effect was already deep.
Li Qingxian knew very well that he had inherited the mantle of Xingqi master, and he had to help Hu Jizu both emotionally and rationally.
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Li Qingxian asked.
Hu Jizu pondered for a long time and said slowly: "If nothing else, you have a close relationship with our ancestors."
Li Qingxian said: "What happened to your family?"
Hu Jizu sighed softly, recalling, and said: "The ancestors of our family count. There are no plans left, but the descendants will not live up to expectations. When I was very young, my ancestors discovered that the next few generations would not be able to inherit his mantle. Once he passed away, our Hu family would inevitably suffer the disaster of annihilation. So, our ancestors The Hu family was split up early and divided into six rooms, and we were the fifth room. After that, our ancestors drifted away without a trace..." "
...Since I was a child, I have grown up listening to my parents' complaints. They took With the wealth of my ancestors, I was hiding in a poor mountain village..." "
...Haha, in the end, as my ancestors expected, my parents couldn't restrain themselves and went out to squander. In the end, not only did the family wealth disappear, but they also fell ill and were infected with a strange poison... ..."
"...Fortunately, my ancestors left the cultivation method in mind because of their bloodline. I studied hard and was able to pass..." "
...Then I found out that someone seemed to be targeting our Hu family. The other five houses were all. My family was exterminated..."
"... Later, in order to detoxify, I went north to the capital of gods. Someone discovered that I was a descendant of a down-and-out fortune-telling clan, so they wanted to trick me into inheriting it..." "...Finally, I met you
, And then came here.”
Li Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, "How can a great fortune-teller be able to make his descendants safe throughout their lives?"
Hu Jizu sighed and said, "My father asked my grandfather about this matter, but my father did not understand his answer. I I seem to understand, but I don't understand."
"What did Master Xingqi say?" Li Qingxian slowly sat up straight.
"I can't remember the specific language, but there are two general meanings. As a great destiny magician, he carries not only our family, but also the safety of the entire human race on his shoulders. He inherited the family's inheritance and became a great destiny magician. For a moment, he was half the Hu family and half the human race. Whatever he did next, he could not let down the descendants of the Hu family or the human race. Therefore, he gave his descendants enough but not unlimited wealth to ensure that they would live richly. After that, He will consider how to strengthen the human race and consider the continuation of the entire human race as a human race." Li Qingxian was in awe and nodded lightly.
"The second point, I don't quite understand, but as I continue to grow up and see all kinds of things in the world, I have a little understanding." "
My ancestor said that most of the great achievers he knew came out of their own way. The books are left in the Hu family, and the inheritance is left in the Hu family. If the children of the Hu family like to study, they can cultivate literature, if they like to practice martial arts, they can cultivate martial arts, and if they like fortune-telling, they can cultivate their lives. If his descendants don't choose, he can't force them out. He What he fears most is not that his descendants will be ineffective, but that he will give them too much wealth, power, or cultivation, and their virtues will not match them. As a result, our Hu family has no power, but we don’t know that we are half selfish and half human." "The ancestors of the family
. It is said that once such ineffective descendants gain too much power, they will completely degenerate from humans into beasts, like evil tigers and wolves, living only for themselves and their own family, without caring about the human race. The final result is the same as that of previous dynasties. The collapse is exactly the same."
"He said that there are many reasons for the collapse of a country, but one of the most important reasons is that those who have the most power, the most resources, and the strongest power only focus on their own short-term interests and ignore their own They always think that they are different from others, and they always think that they will be fine if something happens to the country. As a result, they will trample all the bones of the ministers, and most of them will end up no different from ordinary people. "
"I speculate that my ancestors believed that we people are actually no different from ordinary people, but we rely on our good luck to be born in a big family, mistakenly thinking that we are extraordinary, and then do whatever we want, thinking that this is our privilege. But in fact In fact, we are no smarter than ordinary people, and we are no more able to help the human race progress than ordinary people. In fact, the damage we cause to the human race is far greater than that of ordinary people. He believes that we will hold the human race back." "
Jiazu I believe that what led to the destruction of the country in the past dynasties was neither foreign invasion nor ordinary people's lack of hard work. The main culprit was our big families." "So, in order to prevent
us from harming the human race and the country, our ancestors scattered us all over the place. He did not give us power or influence on the country and the human race. In addition to a certain amount of wealth, he also gave us a large number of books. His purpose is to let us grow through reading and learning, separate from the old family, and find our own path. But, as you saw, the whole army was almost wiped out."
Li Qingxian nodded frequently and praised repeatedly, saying: "As expected of a great master of destiny, it is not difficult to see that the reason for the country's decline is the Manchu ministers. What is difficult is to be able to truly distinguish The boundary between man and beast, and then cut off the beast nature with a knife, retaining more humanity. It is admirable." "
So the older I get, the more I admire my grandfather, but unfortunately, after my grandfather passed away, he could not protect us." Hu Jizu said.
Li Qingxian thought for a while and said, "You are wrong."
"Oh?" Hu Jizu looked at Li Qingxian.
"I am a life magician. Even a middle-grade life magician can still protect his blood. Master Xingqi is even more extraordinary as a great life magician. He can definitely protect the safety of all six houses of your clan. But the problem is, in the end, Did he fail to protect you, or did you disobey him, do something you shouldn't do, and seek your own death?" Li Qingxian asked.
Hu Jizu suddenly sweated on his forehead.
"Or, you don't understand what Master Xingqi said at all. Let me put it in the most straightforward terms. Some of you are actually mediocre in ability, but you are so confident that you always feel that you are different from ordinary people, and then you go around trying to commit suicide. Those princely families have family protection, and if they commit suicide, others and the entire human race will bear the price. But if your family commits suicide, the power of the Star Chess Master will give up its protection, so the other five families will all die."
Hu Jizu remained silent.
Li Qingxian said: "However, Xingqi masters are human beings after all, and they have selfish motives after all. Of course, the most important thing is that you are different from them. You are not a genius, but you have really worked hard to learn fortune-telling and become a good person. You obviously You were squandered your property by your parents, but you didn't complain and took the initiative to help your parents find an antidote. You were clearly tempted by someone's trap, but in the end you resisted the temptation and turned around and left. All of this is your choice. You believe in hard work and trust. I am grateful and believe in restraint. Therefore, Master Xingqi let you meet me."
Hu Jizu was stunned, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and wiped his nose gently.
