The senior apprentice brother chuckled and said, "Junior apprentice brother, is it not for your own good? "What if that Ghost Fiend wants to act ahead of time? What if you go crazy and hit me with a panda eye? Then, who am I going to seek justice for?"
I sighed helplessly and followed the eldest senior brother out of the car. I first drank two bowls of noodles from the stall, then bought some New Year fodder for my parents. After that, I called a taxi and headed towards my hometown.
My family lives in a rural area, in a very poor little ravine. There aren't many people in the village, only 300 to 500 people and more than 100 families, our village is very poor, but there are quite a few university students, I am one of them.
Just thinking that if I did well in the future, I would take them to live the life of a citizen of the city, but now I have become a Taoist, which is very different from what they think.
As I got closer and closer to home, I felt a sense of unease in my heart. However, the eldest senior brother seemed to be quite happy. He squinted his panda eyes and looked outside through the window. His mouth was wide open.
When I got out of the car, my parents were posting couplets at home. When they saw me come back, they were extremely happy and complained that I said I wouldn't call home to inform them before I went home.
When I paid the bill for the taxi, Mom and Dad saw that there was still someone beside me. It was my big brother who had black panda eyes.
My eldest senior brother had a very sweet mouth, calling me aunty and uncle, causing my parents to blossom.
When they asked me who my senior was, I could only say that he was my colleague. His family was too far away, so I decided to come home to celebrate New Year with him.
My parents were naturally very happy. The villagers were all simple and honest people, so they hurriedly greeted us into the house. With so many people around, it was quite a joyous occasion.
When I got back to the house, my parents started to look at me, saying that I was dark, that I had lost weight, but that I looked very energetic. I thought to myself, how could I not be spirited?
The old couple didn't even finish pasting their couplets before they busied themselves with cooking and giving us a welcoming reception.
I called my senior brother out and pasted on the rest of the couplets that weren't finished.
After that, my eldest senior brother helped my parents cook. I've seen his cooking.
However, Eldest Senior Brother knows his place. He only helps my parents wash vegetables and chop some ribs. My parents also really liked my Eldest Senior Brother and have always praised him for being sensible.
In the past few days, I lived a very peaceful life at home. Every day, besides eating and sleeping, I would squat down in my room and cultivate. I rarely went out for a walk, but there was one thing that was not good; when it was midnight, eldest senior brother would knock me out and every morning when I woke up, my head would hurt.
During the daytime, when I was free, eldest senior brother would help my parents do some work, and when he had nothing to do, he would stroll around the village. When he saw girls and wives, he would warmly greet them.
However, this Eldest Martial Brother of mine still has a sense of propriety and won't do anything out of line.
He said to me, "Youngest junior brother, I really envy you. You have a home like this, where you can go home and reunite with your family during New Year's Eve, and I don't have anything. The only thing I have is my master, who is with me every New Year.
Eldest senior brother spoke with a sad voice and a crystal light in his eyes. It was as if he was shrouded in mist, causing my heart to sway as I couldn't help but say, "Eldest senior brother, if that's the case, then come home with me every year and treat this place as your home. We are martial brothers, my life was saved by you, there is nothing much to say …"
The eldest senior brother chuckled and agreed with me.
However, the eldest senior brother quickly told me something else. He said somewhat nervously, "Youngest junior brother, did you know? These past two days I have been wandering around the village and found something very interesting."
"What did you find funny? Why don't you tell me? Did you see some girl? If you fall for her, I'll tell my mom to make peace for you another day …" I joked.
The Eldest Senior Brother waved his hand and said, "Youngest Junior Brother, I'm telling you something important, don't interrupt me …" After a pause, he quickly gave a cheap laugh and said, "Actually, your village girls all look pretty good … "Haha …"
I glared at him in annoyance and didn't intend to bother with him.
The Eldest Senior Brother then continued, "During the day, I wandered around the village and found that your Feng Shui is not bad. No wonder it could give birth to such a Four Suns freak …"
This sentence caused me to be stunned and I quickly asked, "Eldest senior brother, what do you mean by that? When did you learn to read Feng Shui?"
The Eldest Senior Martial Brother glanced at me and said, "The < Yin Yang Daoist Scripture > has its insights on feng shui, which is something left behind by our Grand Master. You may not have seen it yourself, but I know a little about it, but your village's Feng shui layout is quite obvious.
To be honest, I only saw a little bit of the first part of the Yin Yang Dao Scripture, but I didn't have the time to see the latter part, because I also don't understand it. Perhaps, there really is a theory regarding feng shui that Big Senior said, and as a Taoist, one must be proficient in the five arts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in order to become a qualified Daoist Priest. The so-called five arts of the Five Mysteries Sect are the techniques of mountains, medicine, phase, fate, and so on.
After hearing what Eldest Brother had said, I was really curious, and thought that if there were any free times, I would also go out for a stroll and see what kind of Feng Shui's layout was in our village. I had wondered for a long time, what could be so special about our remote mountain range.
