In order to thank Mr. Liang Da's ancestors for their help, the master and apprentice left a volume of tantra, all of which are feng shui metaphysics, kanyu physiognomy, spells and Taoism.

Mr. Liang Da's ancestors have thus inherited the tantric teachings inherited by Feng Shui masters, and have learned the essence of it for their own use. The Liang lineage, passed down from generation to generation, is a master of feng shui metaphysics, divination, and is famous far and wide.

It has been inherited to Mr. Liang Da's generation, and Mr. Liang Da was admitted to Xiucai in the early years, and later inherited the ancestral feng shui metaphysics, Kanyu geography, and divination.

This is the origin of the legend from King Cen and Feng Shui Master to the Liang family's great feng shui master.

Although this legend is lost among the people, there is no way to verify it, and even the county chronicles of Lingfeng County have not recorded it, but it is passed on by word of mouth among the people.

On the top of the mountain range in Lingfeng County, the karst cave is still called the "Xiaotian Cave".

Perhaps, the legend of that year, King Cen cut off the real dragon vein, although Lingfeng County has always been beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, but on the map of China, it can not be called a treasure of feng shui.

A legend is a legend after all, but it only adds to the legend of Mr. Liang Da.

Zhang Daman listened to those anecdotes about Mr. Liang Da since he was a child, and he was exposed to them, which made him full of respect for this Mr. Liang Da, or rather, Mr. Liang Da felt mysterious.

For example, those magic spells, those feng shui treasures, and those fateful spells are breathtaking.

However, Zhang Daman has never had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes, if he can see the so-called "flying funeral" and fighting spells, it will be convincing.

"Daman, this year, you, Chen Xu Chong, numerology called Chong Tai Sui, and there are seven evil, railing and other fierce stars are dying, which means that this year's right and wrong, injuries and illnesses are entangled......" Mr. Liang Da deduced according to Zhang Daman's birth calculus, pinching his fingers.

Then he began divination again, burning incense and setting up an altar, with sacrifices on the altar, reciting words in his mouth, reading those words, Zhang Daman couldn't understand a word, but from Mr. Liang Da's constantly changing tricks, as if he was asking the gods.

In Shiyi Village, like Mr. Liang Da, a "gentleman" who divins hexagrams and asks the gods, burns incense and sets up altars, and invites the gods, there will be a lot of exquisiteness, and there are books written by "soft pens", which are called "Kewen" or "Keben", such as those who invite the gods, it is called "Imperial Decree to Invite Shenkewen", such as those who send gods, it is called "Imperial Decree to send Shen Keben" and so on.

In addition to these written Koben and Kewen, there are also some charms, that is, edict charms and the like.

Therefore, most of the people like Mr. Liang Da are inherited from Taoism, and in addition, these Taoist talismans need to be matched with hand tricks.

The so-called hand trick is to deduce the immovable hand shape through the change of the ten fingers of both hands, similar to the hand shadow play, and the different fingers are interspersed with each other, which is the hand trick.

The function and utility of each formula are completely different, for example: the magic trick to ward off evil spirits, it goes without saying, going out at night, passing through a dark place similar to a cemetery, in order to suppress those evil spirits approaching, hand pinching evil tricks, demons and sneakers are afraid to approach.

However, Mr. Liang Da and his ilk are not exclusively Taoist schools, but also play the role of Buddhism, for example, after death, people need to recite scriptures excessively.

At this time, all the "gentlemen" who need to recite the scriptures excessively will first bathe and fast, burn incense and set up an altar, kneel under the altar, and hold a small mallet to knock on the wooden fish, and knock the wooden fish while reciting the scriptures.

However, there are no Buddhist beads like Buddhist monks chanting scriptures, but reciting scriptures need to be counted, and they all use some simple counting methods, such as: using corn kernels, or taking a piece of bamboo strips, and after reciting once, they will break a piece, which is similar to the way of counting the knotted ropes of primitive tribes.

In the countryside, when a person dies, he asks the "sir" to be excessive, and he has to recite the scriptures, if the deceased is a man, he will recite the Diamond Sutra, and if the deceased is a woman, he will recite the Blood Basin Sutra.

"Blood Basin Sutra", that is, the abbreviation of "Mulian Orthodox Blood Basin Sutra". Also known as "Women's Blood Basin Sutra".

In the old days, it was widely spread among the people, and it was said that if women gave birth too much, they would touch the gods and Buddhas, and after death, they would go to hell and suffer in the pool of blood. If the monk recites this sutra during his lifetime, he can eliminate disasters and be blessed.

This is probably a better explanation for the female deceased, the transcendent person reciting the "Blood Basin Sutra", as for the male deceased, why the "Diamond Sutra" is recited, it is not known.

But it is all as a way of transcendence, wishing the deceased to be blissful after death.

Therefore, to say that Mr. Liang Da and his ilk are "warlocks", they are by no means pure Taoist inheritance, nor are they pure Buddhist inheritance.

It's just that in such a remote and remote mountain village, there is such a tradition, and it has continued for a long, long history.

It is not known how long the history is, at least Zhang Xiaoman is unknown.

However, Zhang Xiaoman is full of curiosity about Mr. Liang Da like Mr. Liang Da, since he came to the house, he has not left an inch, has been around Mr. Liang Da, staring intently at Mr. Liang Da to set up an altar, burn incense and pray.

……

Morning light, rain, dripping, dripping.

The mountain road leading from Shiyi Village to Dongkan Village is muddy and slippery, and the raindrops are slanting on the dirt and making splashes.

A minibus stopped at the intersection of Dongkan Village, surrounded by people wearing plastic tape and hats, or holding oilpaper umbrellas, to see them off.

Today is the opening day of Qingshi Town Middle School, this bus is the only passenger car in the nearby Shiyi Village, Dongkan Village, and Xikan Village, even if it rains, students and parents in several villages are crowded, carrying luggage, and stuffing the luggage into the suitcase of the bus.

After a while, the minibus carrying 19 passengers was already full, and as long as there was a corner where people could stand, it was crowded with people.

It is said to carry 19 passengers, but in such a remote village, overloading is a common thing. At least nearly 30 people were crammed in.

"Sit down, hold on, and get ready to drive!" shouted the driver from the driver's seat.

In the noisy carriage, the students were filled with joyful smiles and were happy that they were about to embark on a new path of study.

The parents who saw them off were taking care of their children, and at the same time huddled in the carriage, chattering and talking.

"Hiss ......"

The minibus was spitting smoke, and the driver closed the door, started the car, and prepared to leave.

"Driver, trouble, wait a minute!"

A voice shouted, and outside the window, a student was carrying a simple backpack, followed by his father, who was helping with his luggage.

"Xiaoman!"

Li Dahai, who was sitting in the carriage, shouted in surprise and hurriedly shouted, "Driver, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm here." ”

"Yang Yaozong, Xiaoman is here!" Li Dahai couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and shouted to Yang Yaozong, who was chattering next to him.

Yang Yaozong came back to his senses and looked out of the window, the driver opened the door, Zhang Xiaoman squeezed into the car, and waved his hand at his father Zhang Daman outside the window, "Dad, go back, I'll go by myself." ”

Zhang Daman nodded, "um", and said a few words: "Xiaoman, when you go to school, you must study hard, don't fight, don't violate school discipline, remember!"

Zhang Xiaoman grinned, at this time, nothing excited him more than he could continue to go to school, "Dad, go back, I know!"

Zhang Daman shook the plastic tape on his body and flicked the hat, so that he could see Zhang Xiaoman.

Zhang Xiaoman squeezed into the carriage, Li Dahai and Yang Yaozong patted the seats, squeezed in, and left a position for the buttocks, "Xiaoman, sit!

"Li Dahai and Yang Yaozong, did you two make an appointment to go together?"

Yang Yaozong grinned and said: "Yes, whoever calls us a village, we all go to Qingshi Town Middle School, we don't have a companion together, and no one dares to bully us." Boss, you're not kind, a holiday, looking for you a few times, you said you can't study, why did you suddenly figure it out?"

Li Dahai was also equally confused, looking at Zhang Xiaoman.

After Zhang Xiaoman sat down, he leaned his head on the back of the car, took a deep breath, and said faintly: "This person, sometimes, a little weak, is not necessarily dark to the end, and when it is critical, there are nobles to help." ”

"Noble?"

Yang Yaozong and Li Dahai stared at each other, puzzled.

Zhang Xiaoman had already fallen into deep thought, thinking back to last night.

Throughout the summer, Zhang Xiaoman spent almost a frustrated and depressed state, because other classmates were ready to continue studying, and he could only help with farm work at home.

In July, the fire turned him tanned and shiny, except for working in the fields, that is, herding cattle and sheep.

When he was herding cattle and sheep, he frantically read books, and looked through the treasured books at home one by one.

Even when he saw that his eyes were red and swollen, he thought he would be blind.

Mother Qin Lin persuaded him both distressed and reproachful, "Xiaoman, don't read like that, you will be blind." ”

Zhang Xiaoman knew in his heart that only by letting himself revel in books and swim in the sea of books could he temporarily forget the fact that he could not continue to go to school and study.

Although he took the tenth grade in the junior high school exam, he knew that it was not his real level.

Or, I deliberately failed the test.

Because of this, I broke my parents' thoughts, and I did so badly in the exam, what books did I study.

But all this can't be hidden from Zhang Daman and Qin Lin, they know that Zhang Xiaoman is a piece of reading material, but because of treating Xiaolan, his family is in debt, Zhang Xiaoman is sensible, but he can't show this sadness.

Therefore, he used books as a companion to dispel the gloom in his heart.

Until last night, the next day was already the day of the opening of Qingshi Town Middle School.

Li Dahai also looked for Zhang Xiaoman in the afternoon and asked him if he was going to study, Zhang Xiaoman reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Don't read, Li Dahai, work hard, and be a promising person in the future." ”

Li Dahai was stunned and sighed: "Xiaoman, I said that we would be a scholar together, but you ......"

"It's okay, I have time, I'll go see you at the middle school. Zhang Xiaoman said with relief.

At night, Zhang Xiaoman leaned on the pillow, holding Qu Bo's "Lin Hai Snow Field" in his hand and watched it fascinated, "Piercing the forest and crossing the snow field, I hope that the red flag will be displayed in all continents and all over the world, even if it is the sea of fire and the sword mountain, it will also rush forward." I can't wait to make the snow turn into spring water......"

What a heroic ambition to disguise yourself as a bandit and climb Weihu Mountain.

Thinking about his life experience, even if he is reborn and returns, he can't get rid of the shackles of fate.

"Crunch!"

Late at night, the door was gently pushed open, and his father Zhang Daman entered the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted to Zhang Xiaoman's room: "Xiaoman, get up and clean up, clean up, and go to school early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Xiaoman was overjoyed, turned over and got up, showing a smile, but soon the smile disappeared again.

Somewhat incredulously, he walked out of the room, drooped his head, and asked, "Dad, how do you go to study, the family has no money to pay tuition and fees." ”

"Yes, his father, don't you know, how can the family have the money to send Xiaoman to school!" Next to her mother, Qin Lin, put on her clothes and walked out.

Zhang Daman squatted on the fire, "The employer who does carpentry work today is our uncle, and his son will go to school tomorrow, and he learned that Xiaoman also happened to graduate from the sixth grade, so he asked me why I didn't come back to send Xiaoman to school." ”

"I told my uncle that Xiaoman stopped studying. Who knows, the uncle scolded me, what to say, I heard that Xiaoman has excellent grades in reading, and at a young age, what can he do if he doesn't study. ”

"I was also helpless, and told my uncle that his family was poor and he had no money to send Xiaoman to study. The uncle scolded me again, saying that I wasn't doing carpentry work for him, and that he would advance my wages and lend me some money, and that I must send Xiaoman to middle school!"

A bumpy minibus, on a winding mountain road, is a rough ride.

The winding mountain roads leading to Qingshi Town are all mountain roads, neither asphalt roads nor cement roads.

Instead, a smooth mountain road was carved out of those mountainsides, the road surface was paved with earth and stones, and the road surface was relatively narrow, and most of the road sections were almost only allowed to pass by medium-sized buses.

In some places, the road surface is widened for the purpose of meeting cars.

The drivers who drive the minibuses have first-class driving skills, otherwise, it is very dangerous to overload a winding road like this.

However, in a karst landform like Qingshi Town, the environment is like this, and it is a poor and backward place. In such an era of vehicle scarcity, many sports cars are on the edge of the law, even if the occasional traffic police go on the road to check, they have long been prepared.

When they see other vehicles coming from afar or on the road, they will greet each other and ask if there are traffic police officers on the road to enforce the law.

Then, when the car drove to the section of the traffic police law enforcement, let a group of people get off the car and walk early, and the car was just full, the car was checked by the traffic police, there was no overload, and the traffic police law enforcement section was walked, and then waited for those who walked, and then got on the car.

There are also some miniature "vans", in the face of traffic police law enforcement inspection, let some people get off the car first, wait, the driver first carries the full seat of people through the traffic police inspection, drive a section of the road, and then turn around, continue to carry that part of the people into the car, and the previous wave of passengers convergence.

Due to the limited number of vehicles, even though the passengers had some complaints in their hearts, they expressed their understanding.
