Chapter 5 Puzzle Solving Puzzles Add more for a book friend who added my Q
"Wake up."
When I opened my eyes again, I heard the voice of the blind old man, and then I found that I was lying in his rocking chair at some point.
"Huh?"
Am I not at the bottom of the South Irrigation Pit? Who brought me out and brought me into the blind old man's house? Is it a blind old man? But thinking about his candle-like body, I deny it.
"Don't think about it, don't worry too much about those things, since you came back from Nanguan Pit smoothly, it means that those ghosts have been successfully resolved, now I'll tell you something about it." The blind old man seemed to see through my thoughts, and said lightly.
I rubbed my still dazed head, slowly sat up from the rocking chair, and looked at the blind old man, knowing in my heart that the blind old man's words might solve many of my doubts.
Then the blind old man limped slowly to the humble bed, sat down, and told me something slowly.
The blind old man told me that I was born with a pure yin body before I was born, and I should have been born as a girl on the day when the yin qi was the heaviest in the year, but due to a change, I was born half a year late, and it was on the day of the year when the yang energy was the heaviest that gave birth to a boy with a pure yang body.
Since I have a pure yin and pure yang body, I am destined to deal with those ghosts in the future, because I will see things that others can't see, that is, those hidden ghosts, and also because I have pure yang energy in my body, so I naturally have some ability to restrain those ghosts, so I am most suitable to become a Taoist who specializes in subduing ghosts.
At that time, I asked him if I was just like those legendary Maoshan Taoist priests or Mr. Yin and Yang, specializing in subduing all kinds of ghosts, but the old man told me that my Tao was different from theirs, and I needed to rely on myself to comprehend this kind of Tao, and my Dao was different from those Taoist priests and Mr. Yin Yang used different methods to catch ghosts and subdue ghosts.
I remembered that when I first reached the bottom of the South Irrigation Pit, I seemed to have become a different person, and that I had a brush and a strange book at the bottom of the well, so I told the old man about it, and when the old man heard me, he stared at me for a long time and was silent for a long time before shaking his head, saying that he did not know what was going on, and let me find out for myself in the future.
My instincts told me that the old man knew about it, but he wouldn't tell me, maybe for some other reason.
After that, the old man also explained to me why he knew all about me, it turned out that the blind old man would be a kind of magic algorithm that specializes in spying on the heavens, to put it bluntly, it is a fortune teller, just like those fortune tellers who look at the face of the hand for others and measure the eight characters of life.
Generally speaking, fortune-telling is divided into a variety of methods such as looking, touching bones, measuring words, gossip, eight characters, etc., but the old man uses a kind of word measurement, because he has measured a lot of words in his life, and leaked many heavenly opportunities, which made him suffer from God's curse, not only let him lose an arm, lame a leg, blind one eye and give birth to a strange disease, painful for a lifetime.
And that strange disease was born because of me, it turned out that when I was born, he knew that I was pregnant for sixteen months before I came into the world, at that time he measured a word for me, knew too much heavenly opportunity, and before I went to the South Irrigation Pit, he measured a word for me, this time it was even more serious, not only to completely lose that leg, but also to reduce life expectancy by at least ten years, he was not in good health, calculated that he had at most three years left to live.
The old man told me that in the last three years, I should learn some basic methods of subduing ghosts and measuring characters with him, and if I encounter ordinary evil ghosts in the future, I can deal with them with those basic methods, and if I encounter more powerful evil ghosts, I will have to rely on my own strength.
For the word fortune telling, the old man told me very seriously, after learning to easily tell fortunes, even if it is to measure the destiny of heaven, can not leak too much of the heavenly secrets, otherwise I will be punished by God, not to mention that I will use this in the future to collect money, when collecting remuneration, I must not shout the price clearly, can only be decided by the other party how much the remuneration, but if the remuneration exceeds the price of a meal, you must donate all the remaining money, can not satisfy your own selfish desires.
When he told me all this, I wanted to worship him as a teacher, but the blind old man refused my request to apprentice, but said inexplicably: "This is your thing, I just give these back to you, we only have the love of master and apprentice in the future, but there can be no master and apprentice." ”
Although the blind old man did not agree to be my master, he asked me to come to him once a week to learn from him those skills of subduing ghosts and measuring words.
When the master told me all this, I always felt that he was still hiding something from me, maybe he didn't want to tell me, maybe he couldn't tell me, I understood this, so I didn't ask again.
"Okay, I've told you everything, you should go back today, although the evil ghost Wei San has been eliminated, you will come to me every Saturday in the future, in a month, you will meet two very powerful evil ghosts, and this time, I can't help you anymore, it's completely up to your own strength." After saying this, the master slowly stood up from the side of the bed and motioned for me to leave.
"Two very powerful demons?" Hearing the master say this, my heart tightened, and I felt a little scared, to be said by the master to be a very powerful ghost, it must be extremely terrifying.
After leaving the master's house, I saw that the sun was about to set, and it was time for school in the afternoon, and it was time to go home for dinner, so I walked straight home.
When I passed by the door of Wei San's house again, I found that it had been burned to ashes, and only the black earthen wall left after the fire was left, which must have been done by the mayor after the master sent someone to notify the mayor.
The area around the black earthen wall has been cordoned off by the police of the police station, and there are several policemen on duty who are cleaning up and inspecting the scene, and I also see that those policemen still have red cloth strips tied around their waists, it seems that even the policemen have some scruples about this strange thing, otherwise they would not have tied red cloth strips according to the master's instructions.
By the way, where did I get the pen and the book I got under the water in the South Irrigation Pit? I haven't seen either of these things since I woke up.
Just as I was thinking about these two things, I suddenly felt a heat in my chest, as if something was about to come out of my chest, and I quickly looked down and opened the collar to see that the pen and the book were printed on my chest like tattoos.
With my consciousness moved, two things appeared in my hands at once, which surprised me, it turned out that these two things are also real, looking at the pen and book in my hand that made me feel a little kind, I gently opened the book and looked, there were really three names on the book, the first two were those two water ghosts, and Wei San's name had been crossed out by me.
I really don't know what kind of treasure these two things are, and they have the ability to reincarnate ghosts, but Wei San, who was crossed out by me, I can vaguely feel that he is not overborn, but was escorted somewhere.
However, in order to use these two things, it seems that you must first know the names of the ghosts, otherwise you may not be able to use their abilities.
I secretly said that I was lucky, fortunately I knew Wei San's name, if it weren't for that, maybe I really couldn't do anything with Wei San who turned into a demon, maybe I would be harmed by him now.
It's just that the master won't tell me what these two things are, and I always feel that he knows these two things.
Anyway, I couldn't think of a reason, so I cleared my mind and planned to study this thing slowly in the future, so let's go home first, and I also have to prepare to deal with the two evil ghosts that the master mentioned in a month's time, I really don't know what kind of terrifying ghosts they will be.
