Liu Bowen’s story 5

After Liu Guangshi, Liu Bowen’s ancestors never appeared on the battlefield again, and the glory of honor became increasingly dim. Liu Yaoren, the sixth generation ancestor, was only a governor, but he was a turning point in the genealogy of the Liu family.

Since then, Liu’s descendants have abandoned martial arts for literature and become disciples of Confucius. Changed the line but did not change the situation, the situation of the Liu clan is still deteriorating, to Liu Bowen father this generation, can only be a county teacher. After reading the family tree, Liu Bowen felt a little depressed. His father encouraged the child: “On the surface, our family is worse than a generation, but things will turn around when they reach the extreme.”. One day, there will be a’three immortals’ in our family, and maybe it will come true for you. Liu Bowen asked, “Do you have any scientific basis?”

Of course, Father Liu has no scientific basis. He has a lot of business judgment. It’s a dream. The master of the dream is Liu Ji, the fifth ancestor of Liu Bowen. Liu Ji had no job at that time and lived in Chuzhou. Because he didn’t have a job, he studied Qimen Dun Jia and the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams every day. Suddenly one day he realized the mystery of heaven, earth and human affairs, and thought that it was difficult to produce great people in the place where he lived, so he decided to move.

But it needs Liu Ji to predict where to move to. At first, he practiced divination himself, but he was not good at it and could not succeed, so he went to the mountain temple to kowtow and burn incense. The mountain God was very busy at that time, and did not receive Liu Ji’s prayer until the evening, so he sent him a dream. Liu Ji dreamed that he was carrying a sheep’s head and dancing on the mountain with his hair disheveled. When he woke up, he thought for a long time that the dream was closely related to the place where he was going to migrate. However, the thinking of immortals is supernatural, and the information they give to human beings is always like a dream, which makes people puzzled. Liu Ji forgot to eat and sleep and thought about the place indicated by the dream.

One day, he came to Wuyang Village in Nantian Mountain and asked the local people about the place name. They told him. As if it was a bolt from the blue, Liu Ji woke up and suddenly realized that he was dancing with a sheep’s head in his dream, which was Wuyang (dancing sheep)! In this way, the family moved to Wuyang. This kind of magical past is too illusory, although it can arouse Liu Bowen’s interest, it can not make Liu Bowen proud, let alone let him believe that there will be a great person in the family in the future. He hoped that his father could tell a real event in the history of the family, so as to prove that the Liu family was not a family that pretended to be a ghost, so as to establish his family’s heart.
