Origin Chapter 8: Master’s Relic


After President Wang finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan was not very depressed. He was even a little fortunate. It is worrying to have chromosomes from mammals and birds, but these two chromosomes are always much better than insects and reptiles.

President Wang walked to the car and helped Wu Zhongyuan open the car door, “Get in the car.”

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at the car. It was an expensive Audi car. The car was spacious and clean, but he was dirty. “I’d better go back by myself.”

President Wang did not answer, but pulled him into the car and closed the door with his backhand.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan seemed to have something to say to President Wang, the driver wisely helped him lower the glass of the rear window. Wu Zhongyuan probed out, “President Wang, what effect do they have on me?”

President Wang knows what Wu Zhongyuan said about them, but it is inconvenient for the driver to know some things. “At present, it doesn’t matter. They haven’t done anything and have been resting.”

Wu Zhongyuan did not ask any further questions. After thanking him, the car started.

Wu Zhongyuan has ridden in a sedan, but never in such a good sedan. It’s not like sitting on pins and needles, but it’s true that he is sitting upright, and he doesn’t dare to lean back at will, for fear of soiling other people’s car seat cushions.

The driver didn’t talk much. He asked where Wu Zhongyuan was going and drove quietly. After half an hour, he sent Wu Zhongyuan to the school gate.

Wu Zhongyuan thanked the driver, got out of the car with a bag, and walked to the school blankly.

The security guard who was beaten last night was on duty. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan getting out of the Audi, he stared at him in confusion and surprise.

Wu Zhongyuan ignored him, didn’t even notice him, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he just wanted to go back to sleep.

It was dinner time. There were people coming and going on campus. Some classmates saw him and called him from a distance, inviting him to eat in the cafeteria.

Wu Zhongyuan waved at them. In fact, he was indeed a little hungry, but he wanted to sleep more than to eat.

You don’t have to eat rice, leave is always sold out, so go back to the dormitory, change into school uniform, and go to the head teacher to cancel the leave. At this time, it is getting dark and the light is not good, and the head teacher did not notice that he was injured on the head.

After selling the fake, I went to the canteen and called Lin Qingming’s colleague. Lin Qingming didn’t have a mobile phone, but his colleague did. The other party answered the phone and told him that Lin Qingming had gone back. Go down.

Assured that Lin Qingming was all right, Wu Zhongyuan left the canteen and was about to go back to the dormitory when he heard someone calling him, Huang Ping, waving at him outside the school gate.

Huang Ping came here for only one purpose. She had been unable to contact Lin Qingming and wanted to know how things were handled. In fact, she was concerned about how Lin Qingming was doing.

Wu Zhongyuan said what he could say, but he didn’t say what he couldn’t say. What he couldn’t say was that he told Huang Ping what Huang Ping might reveal. There is another big disadvantage. She has a best friend in the factory who grew up in the same village and works together. This is something Lin Qingming doesn’t like. In Lin Qingming’s opinion, a woman with a girlfriend is immature in mind. Nor can it be kept secret.

Being sure that Lin Qingming was all right, Huang Ping finally felt relieved, stuffed Wu Zhongyuan with the snacks she brought, and turned away.

Wu Zhongyuan didn’t want Huang Ping’s things, because Lin Qingming wouldn’t let him ask for it, including the cell phone number of a colleague in the mine, Lin Qingming wouldn’t let him tell Huang Ping. But Huang Ping couldn’t see Lin Qingming, so he would bring things every once in a while to please his future brother-in-law, which led many people to misunderstand that Huang Ping was his girlfriend.

Back to the dormitory, I finally relaxed, my mind was empty, I lay on my back and fell into a drowsy sleep.

I was woken up not long after I slept. The reason was that my classmates who had finished their evening self-study came back and made a lot of noise.

Although he woke up, Wu Zhongyuan didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he closed his eyes and carefully thought about what happened during the day. There is no movement so far, which means that Hua Xie really did not call the police. Even if this stubble has passed, Master’s grave will be preserved.

The only thing that bothers him right now is his own situation. Before, he only knew that he was an orphan picked up by his master, and he didn’t want to pursue his own life experience, but the things he experienced today have made him feel about his own life experience. A strong desire to explore.

The reason for this idea is that before getting on the bus, Dean Wang once said that his two extra chromosomes belong to mammals and birds, and that the strange human-shaped skeleton in the coffin also has a Bird’s beak, if the chromosomes are normal, a person will never grow a bird’s beak, which means that this corpse, like him, is a chromosomal abnormality, and it also shows that the corpse is related to him in some way.

The first thing he thought of was that the corpse in the coffin was his father, but this idea was quickly denied by himself, because according to the order of President Wang’s speech, he had more Of the two chromosomes, the mammalian one was inherited from the father, and the bird one was inherited from the mother, but the skeleton in the coffin was obviously an adult male skeleton, which ruled out the possibility of his father.

But this corpse is obviously related to him. It is very likely that he stayed with this birdman when he was very young. Later, the birdman died for unknown reasons. Master buried the birdman. , and adopted him.

It’s rude to describe the corpse as a bird man, but he couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to call each other than the bird man. Since the two were together at the beginning, it means that the two have a very close relationship. Is this bird man? Man is his uncle?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan couldn’t help but imagine a woman with a bird’s beak in his mind, but he quickly drove this image out of his mind, and he couldn’t accept this image of his mother. Second, if a woman grows like this, I am afraid that no man will like her.

Actually, it is not impossible to determine what his relationship with the strange corpse is. Now that science and technology are so advanced, as long as the corpse is dug out for DNA testing, an accurate result can be obtained.

However, he doesn’t want to take this road for the time being. Dean Wang may explain the abnormal chromosomal condition as an accidental disease to the outside world. The curiosity of the world and the research interest of the relevant departments, wait to be caught at that time.

The reason why Master quietly buried the corpse back then was probably also for this reason. He wanted to protect him and didn’t want the world to know that he was different.

About the strange corpse, there is another detail, that is, the corpse was buried without any clothes. This should not be done by the master, because the master is a Taoist priest, who pays attention to life and death, and it is impossible to leave the other party’s clothes behind. .

There is another way to find out about one’s life experience, and that is to ask his senior brother Lin Qingming. He was not weaned when he was adopted by his master. People have to eat milk as soon as they are born, and they eat until they are one or two years old, so they are not weaned. It doesn’t mean that he was just born, Lin Qingming was three years older than him, he should have been four or five years old at that time, maybe he could remember something.

But after thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhongyuan also rejected this method. Senior brother is very tight-lipped, not to mention that it is unlikely that he knows the truth. Even if he does know something, he doesn’t want to say it. Others will definitely not ask. What happened, because he was such a person, he didn’t like Huang Ping.

Thinking of the end, Wu Zhongyuan rolled over and sat up, and took out the bag from under the bed. This bundle of books was left by the master, and he might be able to find some clues from it.

The college entrance examination is coming soon, and the students are busy reviewing. The school does not strictly stipulate when the lights should be turned off. Untie the strings that bind the books and read the books one by one. The first one is a Tao Te Ching. The manuscript is old, I turned it over, there is nothing special, just put it down.

The second book is the Lao Tzu Xisheng Sutra. When the master was alive, he didn’t teach the two of them to recite the sutra, so he didn’t know if the sentences in the book were real sutras. Some students were using the computer, so he recited them at will. In one sentence, let the other party search online and make sure it is a scripture.

A stack of books, most of which are Taoist scriptures, the morning class scriptures and the evening class scriptures, not a single book, and the recorded content can be found on the computer.

There is also a sixteen-size book, which is Master’s experience in practicing medicine. It records some of the experience of using earthen formula to cure diseases. Whose children’s night terrors are so thick that they can’t be read all at once.

In addition to these, there are four other books, one “Fengxing Secret Art” is about light body kung fu, and one “Practicing Qi and Strengthening Bones” is about practicing qi kung fu. These two kung fu masters taught them without reservation. him and his brother.

The last two books were also handwritten, but Master didn’t teach them, or even mention it. The reason why they didn’t teach is probably because Master thinks that the contents of these two books belong to feudal superstition , one is “The Thirty-Six Methods of Kanyu” for reading Feng Shui, and the other is “Ghost Painting Talismans” for catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits…
