"What do you see?" Master asked.

"Hell...... Ghost ...... "My teeth chattered.

"Where?" Master asked again.

When I looked closely, the old woman was gone, and only the Master was standing there.

"Master, I really saw it just now...... Is it dazzling? I wondered.

Master smiled, "Touch it again." ”

I had the courage to touch it again, and suddenly the old woman appeared again, and she stood not far from me, grinning at me, and the bloody black teeth made my back cold.

"Division...... Master...... She, she, she...... She ......, "My tongue is curling again."

"It's just a yin spirit, what's so scary," the master said lightly, "You have a talisman on you, and ordinary ghosts don't dare to approach you at all." ”

"That'...... So how dare she? I asked, shuddering.

"Because there are no ghosts here", the master gently brushed my hand away, and the old woman disappeared suddenly, "Is there anything else here?" ”

I swallowed, "No...... Without. ”

The master looked at the red cloth bag, "Here are two pairs of human bones, today the old Pang family moved the grave, but when they opened it, they saw that it was a stack of tombs, and two pairs of bones were dug up in a hole. I had no choice but to bring them back overnight, separate them, and bury them tomorrow. ”

"Two?" I stopped talking at this point, "You mean, this bag contains the bones of two people?" How could they be buried together? Are they two? ”

"If it's two people, do you need to separate?" Master glanced at me, "The grave of the grandmother of the Pang family is buried in their village cemetery, where there is a mass grave in the old age, and I don't know how many people have been buried. All things are not going well in these old Pang families, and it is related to the fact that there is a grave under this grave. Now taking advantage of the death of the old Pang Ye, his family chose a good cemetery and wanted to move the burial, but he didn't expect that two sets of bones were dug up under the grave of Grandma Pang. ”

"And how do you divide it?" I asked, "Will you be identified?" ”

"When will it have to be", Master glanced at me, "But now that I have you, this matter will be easy to do, go, wash your hands, and put incense on our ancestors." ”

"Patriarch Niangniang?" I was puzzled, "The red cloth statue we offered is a woman?" ”

"Bah, you stinky boy, what a woman, that's the ancestor mother!" Master's eyes widened, "Don't talk nonsense, wash your hands and incense!" ”

I didn't dare to say more, so I washed my hands carefully, respectfully lit candles, and put incense on the red cloth statue.

The master walked over, pinched his hand and respectfully performed three bows, and then prayed softly, "Patriarch Niangniang is above, Cheng Xiaoma, a disciple of Xu Yuanjie, a disciple of the ninety-fifth generation disciple of the Northern Sect, tried the Three Divine Teachings for the first time, and asked Niang Niang to bless him...... After reciting, he asked me to kowtow nine heads with him.

After kowtowing, my back suddenly warmed up, and I felt a thick heat spread quickly on my body, and a slight sweat broke out on my forehead. My heart was steady, and my breathing was calm and long.

Master opened the red cloth bag, and it was full of broken bones.

I swallowed my saliva and said to myself, Master, wouldn't it be for me to help pick up the bones?

"You pass these broken bones piece by piece," said the Master, "put those who see Grandma Pang on the right, and those who see other people on the left, remember, you must distinguish them clearly, and you must not make mistakes!" ”

I looked at Master with a weak heart, "With your hands? ”

"Do you use your mouth?" Master glared at me, "Hurry up, we must divide it before the time!" ”

I looked at the gloomy bag of bones, and my scalp couldn't help but tingle, it was a dead man's bone, and Master actually asked me to separate it piece by piece with my hands...... Then will I dare to eat with my hands in the future?

Seeing that I hesitated, Master's face sank, "Pony, didn't you hear my words?" ”

I hesitated for a long time, gritted my teeth, and trembled and picked up a piece of broken bone with soil, and at the moment when my hand touched the bone, Grandma Pang appeared again.

I didn't dare to look at her, so I quickly put the bone on the right side of the bag, and then picked up the second piece hard, and Grandma Pang was gone, and a bald old man with a thin head appeared. I closed my eyes, but it was useless, I could see the same, so I quickly put the broken bone to the left, and as soon as I left my hand, the old man disappeared.

In this way, a large bag of broken bones, I separated them piece by piece, and I was scared at first, but gradually I got used to it, and I didn't have to look at them. People die as ghosts, and ghosts have ghost appearances, although they are ugly, but it is not strange to see too much.

After placing the last phalanx in my bag to the right, I leaned over and threw up with a wow. I'm so scared that I'm not afraid, but this disgusting can't be controlled at all. I vomited for a long time, and my eyes turned black, and then I calmed down.

Master ignored me, took out two more red cloths from his bag, wrapped the two bags of bones separately, got up and looked at me, "Are you alright?" After vomiting and cleaning up, I still have to go to Pang's house, you go to bed early. ”

After Master left, I staggered to my feet, looked up and saw the three statues on the altar, and suddenly became inexplicably frightened. I subconsciously threw myself down in front of the god stage and slammed my head more than a dozen times, and my mouth couldn't stop chanting, "Patriarch Niangniang, Taoist Grandfather, Buddha Grandpa, bless me, bless me ......"

That night, I lay in bed all night without closing my eyes, and I was afraid that I couldn't speak, and I didn't dare to breathe. I don't know what I'm afraid of, but I just feel scared, and I wish everything that happened at night was a dream, but alas, it wasn't a dream.

Master didn't come back until noon the next day, and when he came back, I was washing my hands, desperately washing my hands. I felt that my hand had touched the bones of a dead man, and it must have been soaked with the breath of a dead man, and I couldn't stand it, so I had to wash my hands constantly.

Madman Xu looked at me quietly for a while, "If you wash it again, the skin will fall off." ”

"I don't dare to take anything with these hands, I don't dare to eat," I said to myself, "I have to wash, I have to wash!" ”

Master smiled, took my hand, and blew on my hand, "Okay, it's clean now." ”

I looked at him stunned, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true," Master handed me the plastic bag in his hand, "Heat these dishes and let's eat." ”

I didn't say anything more, Master said it was clean, then it was clean.

The food was brought back by Master from Pang's house, including braised meatballs, stewed elbows, fish and small stewed meat, all of which were meat. I can make do with the fish and meatballs, but I want to vomit when I see the elbow and the little stew.

Master looked at me and said, "What's the matter, don't you usually like to eat these?" Especially this elbow, last time ......"

I put down my chopsticks, covered my mouth, ran to the toilet, and with a whoosh, vomited all the food.

From that day on, for a whole year, I didn't eat meat.

Enough vomiting, I rinsed my mouth and had a bit of a labor ache in my stomach.

Master walked over and said, "Is it okay?" ”

"Master, I'm not going to eat it," I said breathlessly, "I really can't eat it, I think of last night when I see that meat...... I really don't eat it. ”

Master smiled, "Silly boy, can't stand it?" Okay, if you don't eat, you won't eat, and Master won't eat either, the weather is good today, let's go outside for a walk, let's go. ”

Master has three hobbies, listening to opera, women, and walking. He has never been married in his life, but there are always good-looking women around him who take the initiative to give him a hug. For these chaotic peach blossoms, he is not a refusal, but he handles them more smoothly, and no one will be offended.

"It's better to mess with an idiot than to mess with a resentful woman," said the master.

We came to the river outside the village, and Master liked it very much, and he would come here every morning and evening, and he would come here when he had something on his mind or when he was talking about something particularly important. He brought me here today, certainly not to let me walk a hundred steps after dinner, but probably to talk to me about last night.

"Pony, do you know why your parents gave you to me in the first place?" Master looked at the babbling river.

I was stunned, "Master, aren't you forbidding me to ask about my parents?" ”

"Now it's not you who ask, it's me who asks," he said, "do you want to know?" ”

"Yes, of course!" I hastened to say.

Master stopped and looked at me, "Your parents are my best friends, and they saved my life twenty years ago. Your mother couldn't have children, but your father's family has been passed down for six generations, and the incense can't be broken. It took a lot of effort for them to give birth to you, but fortunately, they got pregnant in the end. But after you were born, they found that you had a special personality, belonging to the rare Four Positive Dark Waters, and the Heaven and Earth Five were qualified. Children with this kind of personality have a special physique, are extremely sensitive, have a soft and rigid personality, and are smart and wise. ”

"Isn't that nice?" I couldn't help but say.

"That's the good side," Master continued, "The bad side is that children with this kind of personality are destined to be young and difficult to grow up healthy because they are too spiritually strong. Even if you can pass the age of sixteen, you will be jealous of ghosts and gods because of your abnormal intelligence and unconcealed aura...... To put it bluntly, this is the fate of a monk, if the old society would have sent you to the temple as a monk early in the morning. ”

"So my parents let me follow you?" I looked at him.

"The Cheng family is such a lone seedling as you, of course you can't let you become a monk," the master said lightly, "but your fate is weak, and not letting you become a monk is not good for your parents and you." However, there is a way to solve everything, and your personality is no exception. Your parents gave you to me and asked me to take you as an apprentice, the master and apprentice are not the six relatives, and you will not commit a crime if you follow me. If you are not allowed to learn it, the self-punishment nature of heavenly punishment will destroy you. So after your sixteenth birthday, I began to teach you yin and yang spells, and use your talents, so that you can turn disadvantages into advantages, not only will you have no danger in this life, but you will also be able to find a way to eat in the future, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”

I listened in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.

"Say what you have in mind, today, Master will not put you in place," he said.

I hesitated, "Master, when will I be able to return to my parents?" ”

"From now on, fifteen years from now," he said, "but it also depends on how well you cultivate, and when you become a teacher, I will naturally let you go back." ”

"Then how do I get out of the school?" I asked, "Have you learned all your skills?" ”

The master shook his head, "No, a trick of freshness, eat all over the world, recruit fresh, begging for food." You are the only son of my benefactor, and of course I can't let you beg for food. The master has many skills, but you only need to learn one and learn it well, and you will be considered a master. ”

"Which one?" I asked excitedly.

Master smiled slightly, "Out of your mind!" ”
