After my mother was buried, I returned to my house, Yang Laosan took me from my father's arms, and said in a deep voice: "The child came out after his mother lost his breath, to be precise, he has walked in the underworld. ”

When I heard this, my dad didn't speak, and my grandmother on the side showed a smiling face and asked Yang Laosan to name me.

Yang Laosan looked at the child in his arms and whispered: "The child's name is Yang An!" ”

Yang Laosan said, my life is destined not to be dull, this word is to hope that I can spend anything in the future.

……

I grew up with Yang Laosan, but the old man told me that since I opened my mouth to speak, I have called him old man, and Master has never called him, and then he gladly accepted it, saying that this title is also good.

Since I was sensible, I have been following the old man most of the time, and he will only take me home to sleep at night.

The old man set a few rules for me.

First, you must go home before the sun sets, and secondly, you are not allowed to participate in any funeral, you are not allowed to go out after dark, and you must learn some skills from him.

Finally, the old man often stressed to me that a wolf tooth pendant around his neck should not be removed at any time, and if the wolf tooth was broken, it would prove that something was going to happen to me, and the old man told me that this wolf tooth was not given to me, but left to me by my grandfather.

The only thing I know about my grandfather is what my dad told me, so sometimes I can't help but ask the old man, what kind of person is my grandfather?

What made me depressed was that the old man avoided talking about it every time, and said that my grandfather was a shameless old thing.

The old man told me that their sect is called Yin and Yang Dao, called as an onmyoji, dealing with Yin people, and helping Yang people to avoid Yin difficulties.

I have never experimented with the skills taught by the old man, mainly because the old man does not allow it, and in the words of the old man, the time has not yet come.

And when I was twelve, the wolf tooth on my neck shattered.

That day happened to be my enrollment for elementary school and junior high school, and there were a lot of people at the school.

I finally squeezed in and signed up, but the wolf tooth rope around my neck was broken, and the thing just fell to the ground and shattered.

At that time, I was a young calf, and I didn't take the old man's words seriously.

When I returned to the old man's house, I glanced at Yang Laosan who was napping, and I put a pound of loose wine under the old man's nose on the rocking chair.

The old man, who smelled the smell of wine, opened his slightly closed eyes suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "53 degrees, pure bread grain (corn) brewing." ”

After speaking, he snatched the wine bottle, and the old man, who had not had time to drink, stared at him, jumped up from his chair, pointed to my chest and asked me where the wolf tooth pendant went?

I took out the fragment and told the old man how it had been broken.

After saying that, I found that the old man's expression had become extremely solemn.

"Baby, how old are you this year?" After a while, the old man looked at me and asked.

I looked at the old man in front of me and said with some puzzlement that I will be twelve tomorrow!

"Twelve? Looks like it's time to pay off the debt. The old man was talking to himself, my brow furrowed, and I didn't pay attention to it, the old man often talked to himself when he drank alcohol.

In the evening, the door of my room, which was reading a book, was pushed open, and the old man at the door asked me to go out with him.

I stood up and asked the old man what he was doing out at night.

Although the old man set a rule for me not to go out when it was dark, as long as he followed me, it was fine.

"Pay off your debts."

The old man got up and said a word, and then turned around and walked forward, and I shook my head, and although I was puzzled, I had to follow behind.

When I got to the door, I saw a paper figure standing outside, and I wondered who was burning it for? But Yang Laosan only asked me to take the paper figure and go with him.

After a while, I found that when I arrived at the door of my house, my elderly grandmother and my father were waiting at the door, and as soon as I arrived at the door, the old man asked my father and grandmother to come into the house, saying that after tonight, everything would be cleared.

When I heard this, I wondered, but I didn't ask any questions, because I knew that what the old man wanted to tell me, I didn't need to ask.

At this time, I saw that the old man had put a talisman on the paper figure and asked me to take it to the gate of the courtyard.

When I was holding the paper figure, I noticed that the talisman was a soul-attracting talisman, with the eight characters of generation written on it, and the name Wu Lanzhi.

Looking at that name, my eyes opened, isn't this my mother's name?

Put away the paper figures, I have all kinds of doubts in my heart, what does the old man mean by repaying debts?

Seeing the old man sitting on a chair with a big rooster crawling motionless beside me, I thought to myself, I must ask the old man after tonight's events.

At midnight, a yin wind rushed towards me, my eyes shrank slightly, and a black shadow in front of me quickly approached, but it was a ghost.

The ghost got to the body of the paper man, and actually drilled directly into it, and I realized that this paper figure was actually used for the possession of the ghost.

Just as the ghost possessed me, it became lifelike, and I was extremely horrified.

The paper figure turned into a woman with a disheveled hair and a hideous face, and swept towards it.

At this moment, Yang Laosan on the side suddenly stood up, grabbed a handful of white rice in his hand, sprinkled it in advance, and shouted in a low voice: "A handful of white rice separates yin and yang, don't mess with the five things." ”

As the white rice in Yang Laosan's hand spilled out, the hideous woman paused, and there were bursts of numbing sounds from the depths of her throat, and the bloodshot pupils with only the whites of her eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Yang Laosan grabbed the rooster beside him, and the seal knot in his hand changed continuously: "Heaven and earth fate soul into the body, if the qi is truly deified into a human form." ”

When Yang Laosan's words fell, a talisman appeared in his hand again, directly attached to the rooster, and I was shocked again at the moment, because what was written on the talisman was my grandmother's name.

I saw that the paper man grabbed the rooster's neck and twisted it so hard that the rooster's neck was directly twisted off, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Baby, hurry up and kneel down for your mother!" Yang Laosan's voice came, and my body was shocked, this unjust soul is my mother?

I felt my legs a little uncontrollable, and I was on my knees, my throat was choking, and I wanted to make a sound, but I found that I didn't know what to say.

"Mother......

For half a day, a trembling cry came out of my throat.

As my voice fell, the paper figure turned his head stiffly and looked at me, the expression in his eyes became extremely complicated, and suddenly, two lines of blood-red tears flowed out of the paper man's cheeks, which turned out to be bloody tears.

"Mother!!" Seeing this scene, I didn't know why, I felt as uncomfortable as someone grabbed my heart, and I couldn't help but scream, and the body of the paper figure began to tremble a little.

At this moment, Yang Laosan stepped forward, stopped me behind him, looked at the paper figure in front of him with a calm face, and said in a deep voice: "Laneige, dust to dust, now the child is fine, all grievances, let him pass!" ”

The paper man glanced at Yang Laosan, and then fell on me, the fierce look in his eyes slowly dissipated, turning into a deep nostalgia, and finally, the corners of her mouth raised a touch of softness, turned around directly, and walked outside.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, the paper figure stopped, and at this time Yang Laosan wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at me and said, "Baby, go and bring the paper figure over and burn it, there are some things, it's time to tell you!" ”
