Chapter 796: Dragon Trapped in a Shallow Beach
Ye Chen was very puzzled in his heart.
He didn't quite understand why this old man seemed to have identified him at a glance.
However, since this old man solved the problem in front of him, the most important thing for him was to worship his parents first, and the rest of the things could be discussed later.
Therefore, he arched his hands at the old man and said, "Old gentleman, thank you."
After speaking, he pretended to help Gu Yanzhong, and with Lin Wanqiu and Gu Qiuyi, walked up the stone steps.
Others didn't follow, including the old physiognomist, who was also standing quietly below at this time, watching Ye Chen's background, desperately suppressing the excitement in his heart.
The Ye family's mausoleum is divided into nine rows.
The top row is the ancestors of the Ye family who left tombs earliest.
The further down, the lower the generation.
Ye Chen's parents are buried in the second row from the bottom.
In this row, there are twenty tombs of the same specification, but only one tomb has a tombstone in front of it.
Gu Yanzhong stopped in this row, pointed to the only tombstone in this row, and said to Ye Chen, "Chen'er, that is your parents' tomb."
Ye Chen nodded lightly and muttered, "In this generation of the Ye family, only my parents passed away, the others should still be alive, right?"
Gu Yanzhong said, "That's right, although this generation is in their forties or fifties, they are actually in their prime. If your parents hadn't been harmed, they should be the backbone of the Ye family now."
Ye Chen sighed and walked inside.
Those security guards, as well as the old physiognomist, were all below, so they couldn't see the situation here. Ye Chen didn't pretend anymore and walked in one step ahead of Gu Yanzhong.
Coming to his parents' grave, Ye Chen took off his sunglasses and mask, looked at the photos and names of his parents on the tombstone, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
In his brain, it was as if a movie was being played at an extremely fast speed.
This movie recorded everything from the moment he remembered until he was eight years old.
Then, in his brain, he flashed through his life over the past ten years or so in fragments at a faster speed.
These eighteen years without parents were long and difficult, and full of bitterness and pain that ordinary people couldn't experience.
At this time, he had countless words in his heart to pour out to his deceased parents, but when the words reached his lips, they were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
After shedding tears in front of the tombstone for a while, Ye Chen knelt on the ground with a "plop", held the flowers in both hands, placed them respectfully in front of the tombstone, and choked, "Dad, Mom, your son is unfilial. You have been gone for eighteen years, and your son has only come to see you now. Over the years, your son has been trapped in a predicament and couldn't take care of himself, and couldn't fulfill the filial piety that a son should fulfill. Please forgive me..."
After speaking, he bowed down and kowtowed nine times heavily in front of the tombstone.
People say that you kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, and kneel to your parents in the middle, but in Ye Chen's eyes, heaven and earth are not worth kneeling to, and only parents are worth kneeling to between heaven and earth.
Gu Yanzhong also walked up at this time, knelt on one knee in front of the tombstone, and sighed, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I promised you for eighteen years, and finally I didn't break my promise, and finally brought Chen'er back. Look at him, he is now a talent! Almost exactly the same as Big Brother back then, he is also a dragon and phoenix among people!"
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears and continued, "Last time I came to see you, I said I would go down to see you soon, but I didn't expect Chen'er to save my life, so Big Brother and Sister-in-law might still have to trouble you to wait for me for a while..."
Speaking of this, Gu Yanzhong was already sobbing.
Lin Wanqiu walked up and knelt on one knee beside Gu Yanzhong, choking, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, thank you for your spirit in heaven, blessing Yanzhong to survive the disaster. The kindness of the Ye family to the Gu family, we will never forget in this life..."
Gu Qiuyi knelt on both knees beside Ye Chen, didn't say a word, just leaned against Ye Chen and wept silently.
After kneeling on the ground for a long time, Ye Chen wiped away his tears, and gently wiped his parents' tombstone with his sleeve a few times, saying, "Dad, Mom, your son can't stay with you for too long this time, but please rest assured, your son will definitely come to see you every year in the future."
After speaking, he sighed for a long time, helped up Gu Yanzhong beside him, and said, "Uncle Gu, let's go."
Gu Yanzhong nodded slightly and pulled his wife to stand up.
Ye Chen put on his sunglasses and mask again, and walked down slowly with Gu Yanzhong's family of three.
Below the stone steps, several security guards were standing straight.
And the old physiognomist, holding a python-headed cane with both hands, looked at Ye Chen with some awe in his eyes.
Ye Chen didn't speak, but walked to the old physiognomist and bowed deeply.
The old physiognomist hurriedly let go of his cane to help, saying in fear and trepidation, "Can't, can't..."
Several security personnel were a bit surprised.
When the head of the Ye family bowed to the old physiognomist, the old physiognomist didn't even blink, so why was he so polite when this driver bowed to him?
At this time, the old physiognomist opened his mouth and asked Ye Chen, "Young man, I wonder if it's convenient to talk aside?"
Ye Chen nodded, "No problem."
The old physiognomist turned to the security guards and said, "No one is allowed to follow."
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Ye Chen nodded to Gu Yanzhong and walked to the other side of the mountainside with the old physiognomist.
Here, there is a platform paved with natural marble, close to the edge of the mountain.
Ye Chen always felt that the entire Mount Ye Ling had a trend of soaring into the sky. After seeing this huge and flat platform, he suddenly realized that the center of the entire geomantic array was here.
The old physiognomist stood in the center of this platform with him and said respectfully, "The entire Mount Ye Ling, and the entire geomantic array of Mount Ye Ling, are actually set up for you."
Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Set up for me? I don't know what you mean, old gentleman? Do you know me?"
The old physiognomist said, "Four years ago, something happened to the Ye family. The entire Ye family was trapped in a situation of a dragon trapped in a shallow beach and couldn't extricate themselves, and at that time, it was exactly when you got married."
"Got married?!" Ye Chen exclaimed, "When I got married?"
"Yes." The old physiognomist nodded and added, "Dragon trapped in a shallow beach, this dragon refers to you."
Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Does this mean I am trapped in a shallow beach?"
"Yes." The old physiognomist said respectfully, "You are the only dragon of the Ye family! What is a dragon? It is in the sky when it is up, and it enters the sea when it is down, but you got married by the river, this is a dragon trapped in a shallow beach!"
"And if you are trapped in a shallow beach, the fortune of the entire Ye family will also be exhausted. At that time, your grandfather was suffering from a serious illness and couldn't be cured by a hundred doctors, which was because of this situation!"
As he spoke, the old physiognomist added, "So, your grandfather found me."
"And I, three months before your grandfather found me, just divined a hexagram for myself."
"That hexagram was a dead end, implying that my life might be exhausted within a few years. I was already one hundred and two years old at that time, and death didn't matter, but in that dead end, it happened to reveal a door of life for me. All the hexagrams of that door of life pointed to the east."
"I didn't understand what it specifically referred to, and I have been looking for more clues. At this time, your grandfather came and asked me to return to China to look at the geomantic omen for the Ye family. Only then did I understand that the door of life in the dead end was in the motherland in the east, in the Ye family."
"Coming to Yan Jing, I looked at all the geomantic clues for the Ye family and divined several hexagrams before I calculated that the Ye family had a dragon trapped in a shallow beach. If this dragon could not soar into the sky, not only would the Ye family be finished, but the door of life left for me by the hexagram would also have no traces to follow. So, I spent four years finding Mount Ye Ling, rebuilding Mount Ye Ling, and broke the Ye family's situation of a dragon trapped in a shallow beach last spring, so you were able to get out of trouble."
When Ye Chen heard this, his heart was already incomparably shocked. Could it be that what he said about letting himself get out of trouble was letting himself get the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra"? Because the time of last spring is completely consistent with when he got the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra"!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen was shocked by the old man's proficiency in geomancy and divination, and worried, does he know about the existence of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra"?
This is his deepest secret, and even the closest people must never be told!
Therefore, he deliberately asked the old man, "Old gentleman, you said that rebuilding Mount Ye Ling allowed me to get out of trouble. May I ask which aspect you are referring to? How did I get out of trouble? What did I rely on to get out of trouble?"
The old man shook his head, "This hexagram is not something I can understand. I can only calculate that you have already got out of trouble and have a trend of soaring into the sky. And after you get out of trouble, you will also bring me my door of life, extending my life by ten years. So I have been waiting here for you, but I can't calculate what this door of life is."
Ye Chen was even more surprised.
Could the so-called door of life in the old man's mouth be the extra Rejuvenation Pill on him?! ===== CHAPTER 797 =====
