There was a bitter taste in my mouth. Is this what death smells like?

If I die, will I also run to the mass grave, go to the ghost market with other ghosts, eat strange things, and pay the bill with dark coins and ingots?

Ay? When it comes to dark coins and ingots, how can I see the poor ghost Lao Zeng? There are also Lao Zhang, as well as Liu Gong and Liu Po, Fan Xiucai, Fang Bo, Xiao Qian, Lao Xing, and Mrs. Jin also came with Xiao Ming! It seems that I am really dead, and I will have to follow them in the future......

Wrong! Why are Huang Lijun and Ou Dong also there? Are they dead too? There are also fried ghosts, Han Jie and all the classmates in the class. Is this a flashback? All the people and ghosts I knew came to me one by one in the last moments, until I finally saw the faces of my parents.

If I die, the saddest thing is probably my parents. Although they usually scold me at every turn, and even beat me, I know in my heart that they still love me! How much suffering and how difficult did I suffer because I had yin and yang eyes when I was a child? I don't remember all these hardships when I grow up. But my parents were the most anxious and worried! They spent so much money for me, and finally even the family moved all the way over, and then they worked hard to raise me. If I die, I'm most sorry for my parents and my parents!

Finally, it's my master. He was the only one who spoke to me. He kept calling my name.

"Small victory!"

"Small victory!"

"Small victory!"

I suddenly had a nervous jolt and woke up leisurely. Master was looking at me right in front of me, and when he saw that I was awake, he stopped screaming. Another hand stretched out next to me and touched my forehead, I turned my head sideways to look, it turned out to be Lao Liu. Boss Su was also there, just sitting on the side, looking like he had just breathed a sigh of relief after being too nervous.

"Okay, he's fine." Lao Liu said to my master, "I gave him the Yin Pill, and the Yin Qi in his body was almost exhausted. He had a good rest for two more days, and he was as alive and well as before. ”

"But," Lao Liu pointed to his temple again, and said, "His biggest problem is here!" ”

I don't understand what he means. But my master seemed to understand, nodded, and said to Lao Liu and Boss Su: "You two go out first, and I want to talk to my apprentice for a while." ”

Lao Liu and Boss Su agreed, got up to leave, and closed the door when they left. That's when I paid attention to where I was. I was lying on a small shabby bed, and the wardrobe, table, and stool next to the bed looked very old. I turned my head to look to the left, only to see a statue on the large offering table, serving tea and melons and fruits.

I thought the statue was a little "familiar", so I tried to stand up and look at it. The statue figure was wearing a gold helmet and silver armor, holding a steel fork in his hand, and his face was dark. Oh, it's the "black-faced mountain god"! It seems that I am now in Lao Liu's small temple, and the sunlight projected from the window shows that the sky has also dawned.

"Master, what happened to those ghosts in Baihua Town later?" I suddenly remembered it again and asked.

"It's okay, we've cleaned up all those troublemakers!" Master replied indifferently, obviously that it was not his main concern at the moment.

"Is there anyone hurt or ...... He's dead? ”

"A lot of people were injured to some degree, but they all survived." After a pause, Master added, "People like you who have been affected by evil may need to recuperate for a longer period of time. ”

It dawned on me that I had actually been by the female ghost last night, so I felt like I had a nightmare. Now I still feel very weak and my hands and feet are weak, but Lao Liu has just said that there is no major problem with my body, and it will be good to rest for two days. But the terrible dream from last night still lingered in my head, and I started to think a little cranky again.

"What are you thinking again?" When Master saw that I didn't speak, he asked.

"I ...... I wasn't thinking about anything, just remembering what happened last night......"

"Then I ask you, why didn't you resist when the hanged ghost attached itself to you last night? Why did you listen to her demagogy and run to hang herself? Master asked, staring into my eyes with a serious expression.

I said, "I've been possessed by her, how can I resist?" ”

Master shook his head categorically and said, "You have been with me for so long, and you have been dealing with ghosts for so long, you can still have some resistance." Even if the Xiangmen charm fell off and was possessed by a ghost, it would not be so easy for her to be fooled and hanged! As far as I know, hanged ghosts generally like to find someone who has a serious heart to possess them. Does this have something to do with your recent knot? ”

I was silent. I can't figure out that little about myself! I couldn't tell which of the hanged man's words were made by the hanged ghost in my voice and which were my own heartfelt words.

When the master saw that I didn't speak, he thought I was introspecting, and then said, "If you are young, you have no vitality and are preoccupied all day long, what will you do in the future?" Just for a woman, as for it? ”

It's okay that he didn't ask this sentence, but I was still not convinced when he asked! I was annoyed, "Master, that's my first love!" For me, of course, it's important! Master, have you ever had your first love? ”

"Tuk!"

"Oops! Pain! ”

Master reached out and struck a shudder on my head with his knuckles, causing me to scream in pain.

"It's not big, it's not small! Do you dare to talk to Master like that now? ”

I also let go, rubbing the top of my head aggrievedly, and complaining to Master with a sad face: "Master, I'm really confused now! Look at me now, I can't read books, and my academic performance is poor. You've been taking me as an apprentice for more than ten years, and you haven't taught me a single trick and a half. I originally thought that you were a fake Taoist priest, who cheated people out of money...... Ahh Spare me! I quickly covered my head and rolled on the bed, barely escaping my master's "explosive torture"!

I just had a rare desire to tell the Master the truth and confide in my heart, but I accidentally said the slander I usually gave him, and I have been holding back these words for a long time! However, it seems that it is better to say less about this kind of thing.

I said with a bitter face: "I was kind of an eye-opener last night! Master, why do you have the heart to do this to me? Since you are a person with real skills, why don't you teach me these real skills? I don't have a skill, and I won't be able to find a decent job in the future. Don't say that my girlfriend and I have broken up, even if we don't break up, I won't be able to make money without a job in the future, and I won't be able to keep her! Alas, so when the demon possessed me last night, the more I thought about it, the more bored I became, I really didn't know what the meaning of my life was now? ”

Master raised his hand again and made a gesture to hit me, but I quickly protected my head again. The master didn't really fight, but reprimanded me, "I'm talking nonsense again!" The more I talk about it, the more frustrated I become! ”

I sighed and thought to myself: what else can I say without talking about this? The point is, what I've been experiencing lately is all these negative, failed, what can I say if you don't let me say this? So, I lowered my head again and fell silent.

The master shook his head, and finally sighed, "Alas, I really can't blame you completely!" You've been following me for so many years, and I really haven't taught you anything useful......" At this point, Master hesitated for a moment before asking, "In that case, do you want to learn Yin Gong from me?" ”

"What is Yin Gong?" Suddenly, I heard a mysterious word, and I came to my senses.

My master said, "Yin Gong is the practice of the underworld, and after people practice it, they will have Yin power. Yin power is like the internal force produced by people who practice martial arts, and the two exercises are different, so the names are different. Those who practice martial arts are called internal force, those who practice the Tao learn the Tao law, which is called mana, and we practice yin gong, which is called yin power. In ancient times, the yin qi was heavy, people and ghosts lived together, and the yang used the Tao method, and the underworld used yin gong. ”

When the master said this, he sighed again: "Alas, but now the population is increasing, and the yang energy in the world is getting heavier and heavier, and the yin and yang have long been out of balance. In ancient times, the underworld coexisted with the yang world, and the regions were comparable in size. By now, the netherworld is becoming less and less and smaller, and most of them have gone underground, and there is not much netherworld left on the ground. ”

"Does the underworld really exist?" When I heard this, a big question suddenly popped up, "And what about King Yama?" Is there really a king of Yama? ”

Master looked at me, nodded solemnly, and said, "Yes! ”

Now, my three views have finally been subverted! I've been thinking about this since I was a kid and I realized that I could see ghosts. There are so many ghosts, I can understand how they came to be. But how did they "go"? Where did it go? There are such and such ** institutions in charge of people, but what about those who manage ghosts? Who will run them? I just can't figure it out!

I used to ask Master these same questions, but every time he prevaricated me, he used to fool me. Hmph, this time I have to wait until my apprentice doesn't even want my life anymore before he is willing to tell me the most important and fundamental facts and truths that exist in the first place in heaven and earth!

My master ignored my angry look and just continued, "The underworld is actually only a part of the underworld, and of course it is the most important part. Hades does not refer only to the underworld, but to many places. Cemeteries, ghost markets, ghost lands, and other places where there is abundant yin qi and ghosts can be allowed to exist belong to the underworld. Many netherworlds are the same as the yang worlds, and only at night can ghosts come out to move. During the day, they can only live in feminine substances, such as in cemeteries, in houses where sunlight does not shine, in the shade of bottles and jars, shade-loving plants, or on people with a yin constitution. In the larger netherworlds, ghosts can also come out during the day, but these places are usually hidden deep underground. But you don't need to know that much right now. I'll tell you when you should know. ”

"Again!" I was indignant in my heart, but I only dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"It is also because there is less and less yin energy in the world and more and more yang energy, and now there are fewer and fewer people who are qualified to practice yin gong. When I was willing to accept you as an apprentice, I actually took a fancy to your talent for practicing Yin Gong, but I didn't want you to start learning at such a young age. ”

"Why?" I wondered, "Isn't it better to practice Kung Fu as soon as possible?" Don't those who practice martial arts pay attention to practicing children's skills? ”

My master's expression suddenly became strange. He said: "It is said that the same is true for practicing Yin Gong. However, there is still a big flaw in practicing Yin Gong, or in today's terms, it is a side effect! ”

"What side effects?" I asked.

"People in the yang world will naturally have some problems when they learn the exercises in the underworld." Master began to be vague again, "I don't think it's too much of a problem when I first learn. However, when you practice to a high level, there is more yin power in your body, and it is inevitable that yin and yang will be reversed, and the living will become neither dead nor alive, neither yin nor yang......"

"Isn't that a yin and yang person?" As soon as I heard this, I interjected.

"Tuk!"

"Ouch!"

Master gave me another blow, and I was caught off guard, and I felt a pain in my brain!

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Master scolded, "Yin and Yang people are cursed words!" Do you think my old man doesn't understand? ”

"It's not yin and yang...... you said it yourself," I could only complain in my heart.

After the master finished scolding, his expression became serious again, and he said to me, "This Yin Gong has both advantages and disadvantages after learning it. The advantage is that you don't have to be afraid of being invaded by ghosts in the future, but you can know how to catch ghosts like me, you can exorcise evil spirits, and you can rely on this to eat. There will also be an increase in lifespan. The downside is that it will affect normal life to some extent, but if you are only at the beginning level, it will not affect much. You're young, and I didn't want you to learn so early. I myself didn't start learning Yin Gong until I was almost fifty years old. ”

"How? I've told you whether it's good or bad, it's up to you to decide whether you learn or not, right? My master finally concluded.

I thought about it seriously and replied, "Master, where do I have a normal life now?" I was born with yin and yang eyes, and you also told my parents that I may not be able to live an ordinary life in my life! If you had said it before, I might not have believed it. But in the past month or two, I have suffered too many grievances! I also understand that since my life is destined to be ordinary, then I want an extraordinary life! I'm going to take my own destiny into my own hands! ”

Master nodded and said approvingly, "Good! Now that you've figured it out, I'll start teaching you tomorrow! ”
