Chapter 1 "The Golden Vase of Plums"

"Xiao'er (hometown dialect means son) come here, you are in elementary school, you know how to read!"

"Dad, I'm 6 years old, can't read? I'll go, although my grades are not good, at least I still know how to read. I looked at my dad and said helplessly.

"Okay, I've got a book here, and you can study it yourself. Exam in a few days. ”

After speaking, my dad handed me a book that looked very old, and there were three huge words written on the bark of the tree, "Golden Plum Bottle" I grass, and countless grass and mud horses galloped past me in my heart, which is okay?

I'm only 13, show me this kind of book that is not suitable for children? I looked at my dad who was sitting on the couch drinking tea with a confused expression. "Dad, I think this is a bit early?"

"It's not early, it's not early, it's right that our old Li family started to contact this when he was 13 years old, this is the rule passed down from the ancestors!"

I'll go to it, and the ancestors, the ancestors stipulated that they should start reading yellow books at the age of 13, I'm really convinced, I'm such a pure and lovely little boy, how can such a serious person read this kind of book. So he said to my dad very formally:

"Dad, do you have pictures in the book?"

"Smack" was slapped on the head.

"What do you kid think, open it yourself and see what's inside, and there are pictures with them, I can give you those with pictures, I have already kept them for myself,"

I looked at my dad blankly and thought: Isn't it what a yellow book is, what else can it be a treasure map, could it be that this is our family's property record? I'm actually a rich second generation? My family tells me at this time?

Haha, I'm going to get rich!

I opened the book with anticipation, and saw that the first side of the book read: The descendants of the Li family should remember that cultivators can pass through yin and yang, and can enter the underworld. Since ancient times, cultivators have committed five evils and three deficiencies in this life because of the intolerability of heaven. Remember, when the children of the Li family get started.

(Here I will explain to you what are the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.) The five disadvantages are widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability, and the three shortcomings are power, life, and money. ）

After reading this, I was stunned, looked up at my dad, and happened to look at him

"Dad got the wrong book, what is this? Ghost stories, huh? ”

"Slap" is another slap, I cover my head aggrievedly, beat me all day long, what should I do if I am stupid.

"What a ghost story, this is an ancestral book left by the old Li family, and the ancestral training has an explanation,

The man of the Li family wants to receive this book when he is 13 years old, turn the first page to choose whether to learn Taoism, if he doesn't want to, he will live in peace, and pass the book on to the next generation.

Your father and I chose to learn these at that time, so much so that you thought I was an old god and a big liar for so many years. Now that the book is in your hands,

Whether you learn or not, everything is yours, and Dad doesn't force it. ”

For a 13-year-old boy, this choice may be a little too ruthless, and at that time, I didn't know what the so-called Mr. Yin and Yang did, and whether the Demon Slayer Guardian and Ultraman on TV meant the same thing.

"Dad, can I think about it? I'll tell you the answer tomorrow, okay? "Okay" You think about it, tell me, imagine it, you should have your own thinking ability at the age of 13."

Holding that "Golden Vase Plum" I was lying on the bed and really couldn't sleep, although I said that I had also seen my dad engage in some gods and ghosts, I always felt that he was feudal superstition.

That's why I privately call him "the old god", but now you're asking me to learn these things too?

What can I do in the future when I become a "little god stick"? Do you want to go out and say something

"Friend, I see that your Yin Tang is black" Isn't this nonsense? Who believes it, there are still cruel five evils and three shortcomings, only those with sick brains can learn this.

I was really young at the time, and I didn't think about why my father still had to study if it didn't do any good.

It wasn't until the day he left that I understood what was hidden behind my father's smile and his unremarkable way of doing things, but unfortunately it was too late.

I slept until dawn in a daze, anyway, I made up my mind not to learn this magic stick theory, so hurry up and return the book to my god stick father.

When I got dressed and walked out of the room, I found my godly dad reading the newspaper on the couch.

They didn't ask me anything when they saw me come out. Instead, I came to my dad and sat down slowly, "Dad, I'm ......."

"Don't be busy making decisions yet, I can't tell you a lot of things now, it's just that the descendants of the Li family have had a lot of helplessness since ancient times, if you are a boy, I hope you keep this book well, you will use it one day." Since my dad said so, I'll keep it, and I'll just take a look at it.

In the summer of '03,

I graduated from elementary school, and when I was bored during the summer vacation, I flipped through the book and read it, and I was like, really, I wanted to curse when I first saw these things on the trees.

What the hell is this? Open the eyes of the sky? For hell? I grass, take three drops of cow tears and wipe my eyes,

Hold on to the mourning platform and silently recite "Haste is like a law." "It can be seen that the ghost disappears on its own after twelve hours.

"That's it? It's as simple as that? This is the vernacular!

I'll go, my ancestor who wrote books is a little slippery! ”

I'm complaining infinitely in my heart, but I have no choice but to watch it.

While sitting in a chair and reading a book, I was thinking

"What are you going to eat tonight? Braised pork or pork ribs?

Hehe, I think the braised pork is delicious."

Two months passed in a flash, and I finished reading the ghost introduction of "Golden Vase Plum" in this kind of confusion.

Actually, if you look at it as a ghost story, it's quite interesting.

There are a lot of ghost stories written in the book. As the saying goes, "there are gods three feet above the head, and ghosts are different from three feet above the ground"

Every ghost has a different obsession, and most of the people who stay in the world after death have untiring knots.

Or that there are things that can't be put down. As Mr. Yin and Yang, we should choose to "cross" instead of receiving.

Collecting them, or driving them away, is the next policy.

It's very simple, if you are doing well in your own house, and suddenly someone wants to forcibly drive you away, will you leave? If you don't leave, it is estimated that the temper will blow you with a big mouth.

But if someone comes to your house and says they want to buy your house for 10 million, you must be happy to sell it to someone. It's the same with ghosts, it's always bad to forcibly drive them away, so it's easy to talk about it.

In our industry, the more practical ones should be charms, first of all, let me tell you what is a spell? "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" contains: "The wisher curses also." "When drawing talismans, it is necessary to communicate with the gods and spirits to borrow the power of the ancestors, and the spirit, qi and spirit can be united to form talismans.

As for haste as a decree, it means that the hope is fulfilled immediately.

I also tried to draw my own talismans, but I didn't succeed very much, I also followed the patterns in the book, learned to experience my own qi, spread out the yellow paper, picked up the brush and stood up the cinnabar, empty my heart, imagine the ethereal and boundless qi between heaven and earth, and draw the talisman in one go!

But what I draw is a piece of waste paper, and if I fail, I fail. This is also normal, if a person can succeed in drawing a talisman for the first time, then China is not Mr. Yin and Yang everywhere, and fortune tellers are not as good as dogs?
