Time flashed and gone for half a year, my second egg is still two eggs, still very two, except for the growth of age, it did not bring me two eggs any other things, a flash of my junior high school graduation for a year and a half, the trajectory of life has not changed in any way, or leading the dog around the second-rate son, the laughing stock of the villagers, until, my father was worried for me overnight, I realized that I can no longer stay in the village and wait for death, I decided to pack my bags and go out to work! Although I don't want to do it in my heart, I don't have a choice, if I go on like this, let alone not being able to get a daughter-in-law, this family will also fail.

On the eve of leaving home, a mysterious person suddenly came to my house, to be exact, my father found it, because my father really didn't want me to go out alone, and he really couldn't rest assured that he thought of such a way.

This mysterious figure is the big pillar of the yin and yang master in the village, we are also called half immortals, according to the genealogy of the village, we are the same generation, I call him a big brother, what are the yin and yang strange things and feng shui and other things in the village to come to him to solve, but I have also read a few years of books, I look down on this person who fools people with ghosts and strange things all day long, and what kind of master he claims to be, I really want to go up and ask him 'What is the difference between you and the charlatans on the street'

The big pillar seemed to read my thoughts, and he said:

"When I was in high school, I was also the age of Erdan, and I liked to study very much at that time, but unfortunately there was no college to study at that time, and it's ......a pity to think about it now."

"What" I was shocked, Brother Da Zhuzi actually went to high school, he is now nearly half a hundred years old, in his time, high school students were more precious than current doctoral students, not to mention that it was in our village so closed, I couldn't help but be in awe, and changed some bad opinions about him.

Brother Dazhuzi, not tall, but he is a tiger with a bear waist and a very stocky waist, plus his earth-colored skin really looks like a clay sculpture, but he has a bit of fairy wind between his eyebrows, and his eyebrows are slender and tall, so he really looks like an immortal, but he looks like a cute old panda when he laughs, but I don't know what he is doing at my house today, it is because my father wants him to give me a hexagram to see if I can make a fortune when I go out, I still thought so at the time.

Brother Da Zhuzi chatted with my parents for a few words, and then he started a conversation, and he called me to me and said:

"Erdan, you sit next to me" I was obedient, and sat down on a small bench, if I listened to him tell ghost stories, I would be happy to listen

"Erdan, do you want to stay in the village, or do you want to go out to work?" he asked.

"Of course I want to stay in the village, but ......" I swallowed as I watched my father's gray hair reach his mouth.

The big pillar understood my mind and stood up from in front of me, he no longer bought Guanzi, and said bluntly:

"Erdan, your father and I grew up with bare buttocks since childhood, and we have a deep relationship, and now your father has gray hair for you...... I look a little distressed and unbearable, and the second is even more pitiful for you, I don't want you to be a person like your uncle and become the laughing stock of the village, depressed for life, these three I also have some selfishness and don't want me to have no successor to this career, I want to take you as an apprentice, if you are willing to go to my house tomorrow to find me"

Brother Da Zhuzi left after these few words, and I forgot to send him out.

I stupidly stood up and asked my father, "What do you mean by Brother Dazhu?" He's okay, he's got his brain broken."

"Hey, Erdan, what are you talking about, he wants to accept you as an apprentice, if you learn some skills from him, you will definitely have some success in the future" My father's old face finally squeezed out a smile.

"Do you cheat money everywhere, I don't want to be an apprentice to such a person, it will make people laugh and poke their backbones" I said angrily.

"What does this child say" I have always been kind to my mother is not happy to hear it, that night, she persuaded me a lot of words, roughly meaning, these years, Brother Dazhuzi, everywhere to show people some feng shui to do some hexagram exorcism or something, earn a lot of money, in the current words is our village rich and handsome, five spacious and bright tile houses, the first to buy a car within a radius of 100 miles (Tianjin Dafa), if I can give him an apprentice, then it is not a problem to get a wife, and it is not far from the day when I get ahead.

"Mother, I'm also a school person, how can I be superstitious about these ghosts and gods" I said, although I quibbled a lot that night, but in the end I still gave in, because if I became the apprentice of Brother Dazhu, I could at least stay in the village and not have to go out to work, and I really wanted to drive his box car, thinking of this, I was a little more interested in the big pillar, after all, compared to being a second-rate, a single, what is this swagger and deception, this is not good or bad, it is also a disciple's ability, I thought badly in my heart, If anyone dares to laugh at me again in the future, I will destroy your family's feng shui first.

Early the next morning, I got up early and went to Brother Da Zhuzi's house, Brother Da Zhu got up early, when I went, he was wearing a white suit with his eyes closed to play Tai Chi, the seemingly feminine boxing was beaten by him softly, I thought to myself that this old man really knows everything.

"Second egg, here" I didn't see him open his eyes, but he found me coming, I said:

"Brother Zhuzi, early"

"Well, figured it out," he said lightly.

"I'm not confused about what I figured out."

"I mean, you want to be my apprentice?"

"Yes"

"It's too late to regret now, because there is no way back in this business!"

"No regrets" I said in a firm tone, but I scolded in my heart, Nima, is it time for a political trial next, long-winded like an old lady.

"Hmph, there are a few backbones" Brother Dazhu finally finished the last fight and closed his fist.

"Come in with me" I followed Brother Zhu into the hall, there is a door in the northernmost part of the hall, Brother Zhu led me in, I can only see the flickering candle flame in the dark, this room should be regarded as the East House, there is not a single window on the walls around the body, and the only door is also tightly closed by Brother Zhuzi.

"Kneel," Brother Zhu said in a cold and aggressive tone, it seemed that he had been prepared.

I hesitated at first, and then silently swore in my heart that in order to please my wife, I would never be a second-rate son again, and I knelt down with a plop and fell to the ground reverently.

The big pillar somehow left me on the ground in a place that looked like a haunted house and went out by myself, although I was scared but didn't dare to scream, I slowly raised my head in panic and uneasiness, and behind the candlestick on the front desk where I was kneeling there was a portrait hanging and smiling at me, so scared that I almost didn't vomit out my soul, I secretly glanced at the old man on this portrait, and Pu Songling was a little similar but not, Zhong Kui, not to mention it, he was dressed in black, I can't tell if this is the clothes of that generation, Look at the hat on his head like an official hat of the Qing Dynasty, which door is this! Before I could guess the identity of the person in the portrait, Brother Da Zhuzi pushed the door in with tea in both hands, and then he poured two cups of tea and put them in front of the portrait, and burned six incense sticks, three of which he held in his hand and gave me three.

Brother Dazhu said a lot of words reverently to the portrait as if he was reciting Sanskrit, I guess it should be that he Dazhu accepted apprentices today, please bless Master Zu more.

After he finished reading, he put the incense in his hand into the incense basket on the incense table, let me hold the incense with both hands and hold it above my head, and then bowed three times and nine times, I pretended to look at the old man on the portrait, and thought, 'Old man, I don't care where you are, I don't want to know who you are, as long as you can bless me to marry a wife and make money, I will often come to kowtow to him in the future, otherwise, I will come and tear you up and burn you'

"Be religious, be attentive, what are you thinking" Brother Dazhu kicked me in the ass, and he seemed to be able to read my thoughts easily.

"Oh" I bowed three times and bowed to the ancestor on the wall, after the ceremony, Brother Dazhu asked me to carry tea out of the grandfather's house, I thought to myself that this entrance ceremony is too simple, at least introduce who the old man is hanging on the wall, hey, these few rings don't know how to knock the way to the immortals, I think.

When he came to the main house, Brother Da Zhu sat on the chair next to the table of the Eight Immortals, he stroked his thick black beard with a smile and said:

"I've seen Master Zu here, and you should now worship me as a teacher to officially get started."

"How do you worship?"

"This, according to the genealogy of the village, you and I are commensurate with brothers, once you want to worship me as a teacher, you can only call me master from now on, not brother, understand?"

"What, the genealogy of the village can't be changed casually" I disagreed, I used to be on an equal footing, let me lower my rank now, I don't do this kind of stupid thing, I really want to tell him, I'm called Erdan, not Erduan or stupid.

"What! It seems that you are still reluctant to worship me as a teacher? "He looked a little angry.

"But, I ......" Thinking about it, this is also a visit to the ancestor is considered to be entering the door, and the eldest brother is like a father, so what if he takes advantage of it, anyway, he is the same age as my father, just call it.

I knelt down on one knee and offered him three cups of tea, and then kowtowed three times and said:

"Yes, Master"

After the apprenticeship, he laughed with satisfaction and pulled me up, I think this should be worshipped, of course I have to ask what my daily work is in the future, I can still see this question clearly.

"Brother, what are we going to do in the future?" I asked very curiously.

"What did you just call me?"

"No, I'm called Master, and I was a little uncomfortable at first," I hurriedly explained.

But he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, he had been called his brother for more than ten years, and he had just changed his mouth, and he didn't have a change fee, so it was normal to call it wrong.

"What the hell are we going to do in the future?" I asked again curiously, with wide eyes.

He stood up and walked up to me with his hands behind his back, and said mysteriously:

"What are you going to do with me in the future? At the very least, it is to beat the coffin, choose the cemetery for others, build the grave, and at the big point, it is to do something in the middle of 'people can't commit ghosts, and ghosts can't harm people'."

"Brother, no, Master, are there any ghosts in this world?" I asked with great curiosity, this question was considered very naïve and even mentally retarded in front of this rural-level Yin-Yang master, but he still answered me, he said:

"If you believe that there are ghosts in this world, then it is in your heart, in front of your eyes, everything in the world is ghosts, if you don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, then it is in the eighteen layers of hell"

I listened to this ambiguous answer, and on the surface I understood, but in my heart I wanted to say, 'Damn, sparing a circle is equivalent to not saying anything, I haven't been to the eighteen layers of hell, how do I know if there are ghosts?'

I think if I asked him again, 'Do you believe there are any ghosts in this world?' he would definitely smack me in the mouth, so I had to shut up.

"Erdan, since you have followed me and become my apprentice, I naturally can't lose you, from today onwards, Master, I will pay you thirty yuan a day."

"What, thirty dollars a day?" I couldn't believe my ears whispering.

"Master, you can take me as an apprentice, I'm already very content, I don't want any money, I just follow Master to learn some skills, so that the people in the village can afford to look down on me, and there is nothing else to ask for" I pretended to be sensible and refused, and my eyes had already lit up.

"Hey, Erdan, I can't say that, I'm already a fifty-year-old man, and some work is gradually no longer working, this will take you as an apprentice, first, I will teach you some metaphysics, magic, feng shui and other knowledge, and second, you can also help me with some trivial things."

"It's 30 yuan a day now, and as long as you are diligent and studious in the future, it will naturally give you a boost."

"That's true," I thought he was joking me.

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you!"

"I didn't expect this industry to be really profitable," I said in surprise.

"What do you say," he asked.

"Nothing" I replied perfunctorily, I couldn't help but be excited, this salary is thirty yuan a day, nine hundred in a month, and I will become a 10,000 yuan household in a year, oh my God, this migrant worker in a city restaurant as a waiter is only two or three hundred yuan a month, and doing coolies on the construction site is not more than that, this salary of nine hundred yuan a month can be regarded as a high salary at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, not to mention in our such a closed village.

"The second egg is coming" Brother Da Zhuzi's wife walked out of the sleeping room, without grooming, but she looked dignified and beautiful, her slender figure is not like the age of forty years at all, although she is many years younger than Brother Da Zhuzi, but she is not young in age, but she still looks like a girl who has just come to the countryside in the city, as we all know, she is from the city, and her family is also very solid, I don't know how the master abducted her, no matter what, she is a famous beauty in our ten miles and eight villages, and she is even more beautiful when she is young. Alluring the country and the city, her embroidery is even more famous in the town, but he is blessed with such a capable person as Brother Dazhuzi, looking at this beautiful old sister-in-law, and then looking at the ugly Zhuzi brother like Zhang Fei, I am even more firm in my inner choice, it is right to enter this industry, at least I can find a beautiful wife,

"Sister-in-law," I called politely.

"What's it called, it's called Master, I just can't remember" Master twisted my ears and turned around several times, and I grinned in pain and shouted, "Master, I changed it."

"Then what do you call me again?"

"Brother, no, Master" Master raised his hand to beat me again, but my sister-in-law stopped in front of me and said to Master in a soft voice:

"Children can call it whatever they like, there are so many rules"

"If I don't discipline Erdan strictly, I'm afraid he won't be able to come out in the future," the master said as if he was very worried.

"The days will be long in the future, take your time" Shi Niang seems to be a Jiangnan woman, very patient.

"Erdan, since I have visited the teacher today, it is the first day, and there is nothing to do here, sister-in-law will give you a holiday, go back and play for a day, and come to study with your brother Zhu tomorrow"

Thank you, sister-in-law, no, it's Shiniang, I listen to Master" After these few rounds, I'm really a little scared of Master, I looked at Master with some fear and waited for him.

"In that case, Erdan, listen to your master, you can go home and come back tomorrow"

"Thank you, Master, Master" I turned around and ran out of the door of the big pillar, feeling disgusted, oh my God, I have called my brother and sister-in-law for more than ten years, and today I have become Master and Master, hey, it's really unlucky.

When I was about to go home from the west side of his house, I heard Master and Master talking to Master and Master.

"Erdan, this kid is also smart, and some culture, in the past, the people in the village laughed at him, in fact, no one understood to show him the way, now you accept him as an apprentice, he will get ahead one day, pillar, I believe you are not wrong"

"I look at it, it's a tiger's head, it's not stupid at first glance, I still expect him to carry forward my career and do some good deeds for the fathers and villagers in ten miles and eight villages, who makes us not count on our son"

"Our family Huzi doesn't have this fate, and besides, who made our son so good and admitted to Normal University, we should be happy."

"Of course I'm happy"

I was very happy to hear this outside the wall, at least Master and Master now value me very much, I will definitely work hard, from today onwards will no longer let the people in the village look down on me, just like that, I am confused into this yin and yang business, at that time I never thought that it would be out of control, from then on with Master to go south and north, descend ghosts and eliminate ghosts.
