During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small mountain village called Zhao Jiazhai in Heihe Province, the villagers lived a stable and unusually united life, one family in the village had a problem, a hundred families echoed, life was very comfortable, and there was never any trouble.
There is an old man named Zhao Zhongtian in the village, this person knows yin and yang, knows gossip, has no one to match, is a powerful person in the village, every time the villagers encounter something that cannot be solved, go to Zhao Zhongtian to solve it, and he is also highly respected by the villagers.
On this day, the main figures in the village all gathered in front of Zhao Zhongtian's heavenly bed, and it turned out that he had reached the time when the oil ran out, and the villagers had tears in their eyes, recalling the legendary life of Zhao Zhongtian.
On a rainy night forty years ago, Zhao Zhongtian, who was covered in blood, came to the village, and when the patriarch saw that he had a gentle face and did not look like a fierce and evil person, he invited Lang Zhongzhong to heal his wounds.
Not long after, he married Zhang Mengxue, the daughter of Zhang Carpenter in the village, and the two lived happily after marriage, and the following year gave birth to a son named Zhao Junyi, who was very fond of his son and taught him all his skills.
One summer, the hunters in the village accidentally injured the king of the mountain forest while hunting, causing the group of beasts to surround the village, Zhao Junyi in order to save the villagers, was bitten to death by two evil wolves, Zhao Zhongtian was mad to repel the beasts, and was worshipped by the villagers as a god.
The villagers were grateful for Zhao Zhongtian's kindness, so they named the grandson of the patriarch Zhao Haolai, and with the lessons of his son, Zhao Zhongtian refused to teach his grandson a little martial arts, and let him become an ordinary blacksmith.
After Zhao Zhongtian's death, the villagers gathered the strength of the whole village to hold a funeral for him, and Zhao Haolai built a small thatch in front of his grave to guard his soul.
That night, Zhao Haolai dreamed that he had arrived in a white vast space, where there was a group of masked men in black, the black-clad people were cruel and used all kinds of torture to his grandfather, after the grandfather saw him, a bright smile appeared on his painful face, Zhao Haolai rushed to save his grandfather, but he fell into the abyss with one foot, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself sweating.
Zhao Haolai carefully recalled his grandfather's explanation before he died, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he pulled out a strange book from under his grandfather's bed, and in the book, he found the reason for his strange dream.
There is a kind of formation in the book called the Eight Fierce Lonely And Bitter Array, as long as you bury yourself in it, you will bless future generations, even if there is no blood relationship. But he himself would suffer unbearable torture, and this was the reason why he had dreamed of his grandfather's torture.
After understanding the reason, Zhao Haolai painstakingly thought about the way to crack it, he read all the strange books left by his grandfather, there were still no clues, he was unusually bored for a while, he did not think about tea and rice, and he was losing weight day by day.
When the villagers saw that Zhao Haolai was in a wrong situation, they rushed to inform the patriarch, who walked to Zhao Haolai's small hut with a figure eight step and asked him why he had come so far.
Zhao Haolai told the truth about the matter, and after hearing this, the patriarch sighed and scolded Zhao Zhongtian for not fighting righteousness, he said that since it was Zhao Zhongtian's strategy, he was not easy to debunk, but Zhao Haolai could be a little happy.
Seeing the patriarch playing dumb puzzles with himself, Zhao Haolai cried and laughed, and continued to think back to what the patriarch said after sending the patriarch out, suddenly, the two words of joy attracted Zhao Haolai's attention, and his heart immediately had a decision.
Early the next morning, Zhao Haolai took out all his savings, set up lights in his home, created an atmosphere, he invited the gong and drum team, and walked three times from home to the grave in a lively way, and the villagers all said that he was crazy, only the patriarch laughed, and the widows could be taught.
That night, Zhao Haolai once again dreamed of his grandfather, in the dream grandpa was unusually angry, asked him why he wanted to sabotage his own plan, Zhao Haolai said that grandpa had suffered enough before he died, can not suffer for the sake of posterity after death, Zhao Zhongtian listened to the silence and gradually disappeared.
Later, Zhao Haolai really became a famous general with his own skills and lived a happy and happy life.
Editor's note: As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Zhao Zhongtian in order to bless his own grandson, actually set up a strange array, put himself into the pit of death, although this feeling makes us moved, but it is not advisable, fortunately, Zhao Hao came in time to find and crack the grandfather's plan, which did not let the old man suffer more. In daily life, parents must dare to let go and let their children go on their own, and they may not have no achievements in the future!
