Chapter 1 Bao Jia Xian
My name is Li Sheng, and I am a Taoist priest, the kind with a Taoist certificate.
The story has to start when I was born.
Xiyi looks up at the stars in the sky, pushes people's lives as a bucket, and does not follow the five stars to celebrate the festival, but only talks about the years, months and days.
This is the first sentence of the opening sentence of the famous Ziwei Doushu song.
According to metaphysics, since a person is born, according to the birth of the eight characters and the stars in the sky, the person's future fortune and personality traits can be roughly deduced, which is called the life character.
When I was born, it happened to be raining rainy, and the night was like ink, and there was no starlight in the sky.
At that time, my grandfather found a Taoist priest to calculate a hexagram for me, saying that I was born with no master, and that my life was not common, and wanted to take me as an apprentice.
I was just born at that time, how could my father let me, I just thought it was a liar who pretended to be a Taoist priest but actually abducted and sold children, and drove the Taoist priest out.
The Taoist priest was said to have not been angry at the time, but after being kicked out, he told my father not to reveal my eight characters to others!
My dad didn't take it to heart, and later told it to me as a joke, so I naturally didn't care.
But it was precisely because of this joke that I subconsciously memorized my eight characters, after all, normal people, especially children, would not keep their birth diary so clear to what time it was.
It's just that after that Taoist priest really became my master later, in retrospect, maybe he would have been better a long time ago......
Twelve years later, when I was in junior high school, a very strange thing happened.
Twelve-year-old, half-old boy, with nowhere to vent his energy, but he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he makes trouble every day, which is the age when dogs hate people.
That day, I made an appointment with some classmates who had a good time to go swimming in the reservoir, but halfway through the trip, it suddenly rained heavily.
Friends have run home, only I feel disappointed, fortunately, Wang Wei, who has the best relationship on weekdays, suggested that the rain is urgent, it should not be too long, first go to the reservoir to find a place to shelter from the rain, and wait for the rain to stop swimming.
Naturally, I agreed, so when the rest of the friends scattered home, only the two of us ran to the reservoir.
When we arrived at the reservoir, we didn't find any shelter from the rain, except for a bungalow on the side, and we didn't care about it and hurried away.
This bungalow is the kind of brick house common in the northeast, two connected houses, with wire and wood to enclose a small yard, I don't know if it is the residence of the people who watch the reservoir, it looks lonely, there are no people around except this bungalow, there are vegetables planted in the front yard, and there are iron cages for chickens and ducks on the side.
Wang Wei and I also knocked on the door and found that no one responded, but the door was not locked, so we didn't think too much about it and broke in directly.
The furnishings in the room are very ordinary, a radio is placed on one table, and the other side is a tongkang, which occupies most of the space in the house, and a small wooden table is placed on the right side of the kang, the table is covered with a yellow cloth tightly, and in front is a shrine, which is dedicated to the statue of the gods, not the common Guan Gong Bodhisattva or the God of Wealth, but a woman wearing a yellow jacket, unable to see the face, there is a rune paper on the side, writing the position of Hu Gu.
In front of the shrine was a plate of pastries, a plate of seasonal peaches, a plate of unpacked cigarettes, and an incense burner, the ashes of which had long since filled the incense burner.
"This is Bao Jiaxian, right? I also have one at home! Wang Wei said.
The five immortals in the Northeast are the fox yellow and white willow gray, Hu Xian is the fox, the yellow fairy is the weasel, the white fairy is the hedgehog, the willow fairy is the snake, and the gray fairy is the mouse.
These five animals are considered to be the easiest to cultivate and often interact with people, so they are worshipped and called 'Immortal Family'.
Among them, there are many people who worship Hu Xian and Huang Xian, and there are countless rumors about the five great immortal families, and Wang Wei and I have heard a lot at a young age, but we can't say how much we are in awe of it.
Wang Wei tinkered with the radio, but I didn't know if it was broken or the rain signal was not good, so I could only hear the screeching sound of 'Zizi', so I suggested that it would be better to play hide and seek.
I agreed, after winning Wang Wei in guessing boxing, he will be the ghost, watching him count with his eyes closed, but I don't know where to hide for a while.
I hurriedly ran in, and before entering, I also dragged the yellow cloth behind the shrine down to cover it, but when I dragged the yellow cloth away, I noticed that the shrine above seemed to be a little loud, but unfortunately I was already squatting under the table, and I couldn't see what was covered under the yellow cloth.
I listened to Wang Wei finish counting, I must have opened my eyes, and I anxiously called my name twice.
I was overjoyed in my heart, thinking that this kid had come up with such a stupid trick, and if I had answered, wouldn't he have discovered that I was hiding there.
Wang Wei still shouted my name and told me to run, but I was so focused on the game that I didn't answer.
A few more screams, and suddenly there was no sound, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and the door opening.
I was stunned for a moment when I hid it well, thinking to myself, why did this kid Wang Wei run away by himself?
hurriedly went out to take a look, and found that Wang Wei had indeed left, and he didn't even close the door, letting the wind and rain blow into the hut.
scolded Wang Wei in his heart for not being righteous, and suddenly heard a sound from behind, and subconsciously looked back, and saw that there was a huge fox squatting in the position covered by the yellow cloth before!
My hair was shiny, my eyes shimmered a strange green, and my two front paws held a white skull, and I was looking at me with bared teeth.
This terrifying scene suddenly made my brain dazed, and I subconsciously took two steps back, but the yellow cloth was wrapped around my feet at some point.
The shrine fell to the ground, and the statue of the woman was torn apart, and when I looked at the terrible fox again, I saw anger in the eyes of the fox.
"Boy! You damage my idol and my practice! ”
"I ...... I didn't mean to! I subconsciously replied, even forgetting that a fox actually spoke!
The fox sneered, jumped over, and before I could react, my big furry tail flicked in front of me and I lost consciousness completely.
