Chapter 17: The Horror Gong, the Mourning Stick

Goofy lay in bed tossing and turning late at night, unable to sleep, thinking about what his grandfather had said to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Our Gao family is a watchman who has been passed down from generation to generation. If this sentence is said in the city, I am afraid that it will laugh off the big teeth of many people. But Grandpa was full of pride and pride when he said that.

The profession of watchman is very old, as if it has existed since the emergence of civilization. As for the specific dynasty that started first, there is no way to verify it now.

And the profession of the Gao family watchman has been passed down to Gao Fei's generation for almost 300 years. An ordinary profession that has been inherited by the family for hundreds of years will not be simple, not to mention the profession of beating the watchman, which is reversed day and night and full of mystery.

Everyone knows that strange things happen mostly in the countryside. Because the countryside is vast and sparsely populated, there are many strange mountains and rivers. Therefore, the chance of encountering mountain spirits and ghosts is also more frequent.

Most of the Taoist temples are built in cities, counties, or deep forests. Among them, there are not many who really have the ability. Therefore, once there are ghosts and strange things in the village, they will often go to someone who can deal with them to solve them. This person who can deal with them is either a goddess in the village, or a wild Taoist priest, etc. This type of person is commonly known as: Yin and Yang people.

However, the Gao family is the most powerful yin and yang person recognized by ten miles and eight towns, and even the entire county.

In ancient times, the watchmen were resting at sunrise and sunset, and day and night were reversed. There used to be a saying that daytime was the time of human activity, while night belonged to ghosts.

Therefore, the night watch is a reminder to human beings: the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candle. But secretly, it is a warning to ghosts: people and ghosts have different paths, and they do not invade each other.

As they often walk between the nights, some of the watchmen have slowly learned some skills to deal with them. After several generations of research and refinement, it has become a complete system and has been passed down. And the ancestor of the Gao family is one of the watchmen.

Although the ancient profession of a watchman is now gone, the ghosts still exist. Those who know how to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits have survived, and those who don't understand have dissipated in the long river of history.

Goofy rolled out of bed and walked to his desk. I turned on the light, pulled open the drawer, and took out a square wooden box.

The wooden box is very old, there are no elaborate carvings on it, and it is not worth much. This is what Grandpa Goofy came out of the attic before he left. It is said that it is something that the third uncle used before.

When you open the wooden box, there are four things inside. A gong, a stick, a book, a codex.

Ghost Stick

And that book, called: Gao's Ghost Chronicles. It records all the information and methods of dealing with all the ghosts and monsters encountered by the Gao family from the beginning of taking over the guards to the present.

The Codex is called: Requiem. It is recorded in a kind of music that is combined with the beating method of the Horror Gong and the Mourning Stick. It can deal not only with ghosts, but also with humans.

Goofy's spells are powerful, but they are too singular and obvious. So there has always been a lack of a spiritual means. And the emergence of these things can just make up for Gao Fei's current predicament.

Putting them all into his space backpack, Gao Fei knew that from now on, the profession of the Gao family would be inherited by himself.
