casket of old days

Chapter 36 Who is green?
'The second dog's father is green? '

'Or is the second dog mother green? '

Chu Qiguang stared at the name on the bamboo piece, his mind was full of thoughts for a moment, countless possibilities came rushing in, but he kept excluding them.

He took a deep breath, looked at his mother and asked, "Am I not your own?"

Mother spat: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chu Qiguang asked: "Our family... Shouldn't the surname be Zhou?"

Ergou's mother said: "I don't know the specifics, but I just heard from your father that the Zhou family should have been surnamed Chu."

Chu Qiguang asked: "Father wants me to change my name? But on the household registration book in the yamen, my name is still Tuesday Dog, right? Then I have to go to the yamen to change my name?"

What he thought in his heart was that in the future, he would need to verify his household registration in the martial arts examinations and becoming an official. If he just changed his name to Chu Qiguang verbally, what would be the point?On the contrary, it will only increase the trouble.

But Ergou's mother said: "Your father said that he bought the clerks in the yamen in the early years and created a false household registration for you in Wangjiazhuang. There is only one Chu Qi who is the same age as you in that household. Guang, you can just use this name from now on."

Chu Qiguang was even more surprised when he heard the words. He knew that in the household registration system of the Han Dynasty, the four types of families, widows, widows, and solitary, did not have to pay taxes or serve corvee.

The so-called widowhood and loneliness refer to old men without wives, old women without husbands, young children without fathers and mothers, and old people without children.

And the virtual household of Chu Qiguang made by Ergou's father obviously belongs to a young child without father and mother, who does not need to pay taxes or serve in the military. Over the past ten years, Chu Qiguang, a non-existent person, has I have been living in the books like this.

And this turned out to be the arrangement that Ergou's father had made more than ten years ago.

A strange feeling rose from his heart.

Chu Qiguang nodded, and asked some more questions, but he could feel that Ergou's mother really didn't know the inside story, and Ergou's father might know more secrets, but Ergou's father and brother He disappeared when he went up the mountain to cut firewood.

So Chu Qiguang remained calm on the surface, and just told Ergou's mother a few times, but his heart was full of doubts.

When he walked out of the house, he happened to see Qiao Zhi who was teaching Jin Xiu face to face, so he asked, "Master Qiao, Chu Qiguang..."

Before Chu Qiguang finished speaking, Qiao Zhi said directly: "Do you want to change your name? Change it, change it, the name Chu Qiguang is always better than Ergou, and changing the name can also protect your mother and sister. Do not seek revenge."

Chu Qiguang gave Qiao Zhi a strange look, and directly showed him the bamboo pieces in the wooden box: "It's not me who wants to change it, it's my father..."

Qiao Zhi heard what happened to Xuhu Chu Qiguang, but his eyes opened wider and wider. He paced back and forth in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Impossible." '

'Obviously it shouldn't be like this, it should be Chu Qiguang himself who changed his name and household registration. '

'How did his father change it for him?What exactly is going on? '

Chu Qiguang looked at Qiao Zhi with a panicked face, combined with what the other party said just now, he already had some calculations in his heart, so he asked directly: "Is it different from what you know?"

"Uh..." Qiao Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head firmly: "Your father should never know the name Chu Qiguang."

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, Qiao Zhi hurriedly licked his calm hair to calm himself down.

Chu Qiguang on the other side planned to investigate the disappearance of Ergou's father and eldest brother. Hearing his plan, Qiao Zhi sighed: "I was afraid that this matter would affect your practice of Taoism, so I didn't tell you about it. Now it seems It’s okay not to say.”

"Your family... was sent by King Kong Temple to guard the classics in history, and your surname is Chu."

"Only 50 years ago, the imperial court took action to 'destroy the Buddha' and even suppressed the three schools of Moke Buddhism, Fanjingzong, and King Kong Temple. Buddhism in the world has been scattered and disintegrated. In order to hide your roots, your family changed your name and surname. .It’s just that each generation of patriarchs continues to guard the classics of the King Kong Temple.”

"It's a pity that when your father and elder brother went to the mountain to check the preservation of the ancient books, they encountered villains. Not only were they killed, but the ancient books were also taken away."

"Originally, I had already buried the two of them. Because I was worried that knowing the revenge of killing my father would affect your cultivation, I wanted to keep it from you for the time being."

Listening to Qiao Zhi's narration, Chu Qiguang had complicated thoughts in his heart.

Logically speaking, he thought he was Chu Qiguang from the earth, and he should have no feelings for Ergou's family in this world.

But Er Gou's extremely firm and profound memory deeply imbedded in his mind would subconsciously affect him, making him feel a trace of sadness and anger.

huh~~
Chu Qiguang let out a deep breath: "Then who killed them?"

"You want revenge?" Qiao Zhi sighed: "I didn't want to tell you so early, but I was worried that it would affect your state of mind and reduce the effectiveness of your martial arts and Taoism. Martial arts must subdue qi and blood, and Taoism must control the soul. Even the slightest inconsistency will become your hindrance."

Chu Qiguang closed his eyes when he heard the words, and when he opened them again, it seemed that all worries and distracting thoughts were forcibly suppressed.

"Then let me meditate overnight and tell me tomorrow."

That night, Chu Qiguang tried his best to keep calm while meditating. He wanted to eliminate the interference of Ergou's memory, so that the death of Ergou's father and elder brother would not affect his cultivation progress.

But no matter how calm he was, he always felt a little awkwardness different from the past.

The memory of the dog on Tuesday kept popping up in his mind, and his rationality told him that these two people had nothing to do with him, so don't think too much about it.But the deep memory kept triggering various emotions in his heart.

Chu Qiguang shook his head helplessly, thinking in his heart: "Memory is an important part of personality, and it has a huge impact on people's feelings, ideas, and thoughts."Unless I can completely clear Ergou's memory, it is impossible not to be affected. '

'Since we can't escape, we can only solve it completely. '

Chu Qiguang picked up Qiao Zhi who was on the side and touched him. Feeling his mood calmed down a little, he asked, "Only when I get revenge can I regain my peace of mind?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Either take revenge and pay homage to the spirit of your father and elder brother in heaven. Or continue to meditate, grind bit by bit, and finally be able to ignore this influence."

Qiao Zhi sighed: "The so-called life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood. Along the way, who would not have a few thorns in their hearts? Most people can only continue to practice with thorns in their hearts, so in the world of mortals The longer you roll in the middle, the more thorns you will have in your heart, and the slower your cultivation efficiency will be.

Only then will some people escape into the deep mountains and old forests to escape from the world and practice. "

Chu Qiguang nodded, but avoidance and patience are not his style, so he asked directly: "Who do I want to seek revenge on?"
