Chapter 1: Hu San

Next Chapter

At the end of the Republic of China, there was a feng shui wizard in Shandong, known as Hu Banxian.

This Hu Banxian has been smart since he was a child, proficient in mountain life and medicine, and can even point people to life and death.

In 62 years, Hu Banxian's hair was already gray, but he was old and childless, and no one inherited the art of feng shui, so he took his eldest brother's son, that is, his nephew, as an adopted son.

But after the burial, the Hu family must guard the tomb for 100 days, and then set off fireworks.

Because there is a custom in Feng Shui, that is, Mr. Feng Shui cannot bury his own family's grave, so after Hu Banxian ordered the land, he invited a local Mr. Yin and Yang to explain to him various matters such as acupuncture points, depth, orientation, and funeral.

As a result, after the burial, Hu Banxian came back to see and found that this Mr. Yin and Yang gave him a gold and set up a typo, and his nephew listened to his words and built a small wooden shed next to the grave to keep the spirit.

When he had been on guard for ninety-nine days, his family came to tell him that his daughter-in-law was going to give birth, so he hurried there, but that night, there was an earth-shattering loud noise in Longhou Mountain, and people saw a fireball soaring into the air.

The next day, I went to see it and found that there was a big hole in the back mountain, and the dragon was angry.

Later, Hu Banxian's nephew gave birth to two twin boys, and the two children wrestled with each other when they were five or six years old, but one boy fell to death, and the other was also very weak, causing the Hu family to become the current one-line.

My dad was the one who survived, but he didn't live past the age of thirty.

I was frail and sick since I was a child, and I almost died at birth, but fortunately, the old lady Hu Banxian poured me a bowl of talisman water to let me survive the winter in the Northeast.

I was born in the Year of the Tiger, and Grandpa Hu Banxian gave me a Yin name, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to support it, so he added a nickname to me.

I later learned that it was my grandfather Hu Banxian who lent me his Yangshou, and before he died, he said that he would actually live for ten years and eight years if he borrowed Yangshou.

I didn't believe it, but when I was seven years old, I did.

I learned the way of feng shui from Hu Banxian when I was a child, and he was extremely strict with me, telling me that the art of feng shui is related to human life and ancestral industry, and there is no way to go wrong, but Hu Banxian has calculated his life for a lifetime, and he never calculated that there would be such a thing.

Since the beginning of six or seven years, except for the four old trends, Hu Banxian bore the brunt, he was over 70 years old and was arrested to parade on the street to wear a high hat, and he was beaten again without admitting his guilt, and half of his old life was directly lost.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man who guarded him had received his favor, he would not have known that he would have died in prison, thanks to the prison guard's kindness, and he would have been sent home while he was about to breathe.

At that time, I remembered that Grandpa Hu Banxian was out of gas, and he intermittently asked my mother to find seven kerosene lamps and put them beside him, asking her to keep them, and told my mother not to extinguish them, and my mother did not dare to be sloppy at all.

At that time, I was only six or seven years old, I didn't understand anything, I slept in the hall in a daze, I was napping, Grandpa Hu Banxian came, I saw that he was alive and well than when he didn't suffer before, I was very strange, asked him if it hurt, if he wanted to eat sugar.

Hu Banxian loves to eat sugar the most, at that time he was poor, it was a happy thing to be able to eat sugar, Hu Banxian said not to eat, he asked me to carry a shovel and go up the mountain with him, I was very strange, in the middle of the night, what are you doing on the mountain with goose feathers and heavy snow? You don't know that when the snow in the northeast is specified, it has to be half a person high.

But I was also young at that time, I didn't have much discernment, Hu Banxian was usually strict with me, so he asked me to go there, I went there, pity my small body to carry a shovel weighing a few pounds, and I was buried directly in the snow, but it was strange to say, Hu Banxian walked in front, and there were no footprints in the snow.

After walking for a long time, Hu Banxian took me to a cemetery, I remember that it was the ancestral grave of our Hu family, my father was buried there, when I was young, I was not very afraid, but I felt cold and evil, and my body couldn't help but shiver.

Hu Banxian led me to the hill, pointed to the one-foot-long hole in the ground and asked me, what do I want to do when I grow up in the future, I knew what he meant at the time, so I said nonsense, telling him that I want to be as capable as him in the future, Hu Banxian praised me at that time, but when I grew up, I knew how much I regretted.

Hu Banxian asked me to fill in the hole, and I did it, but the soil on the ground was frozen and strong, and I had the strength to dig it, so Hu Banxian asked me to pee on the ground, which is strange to say, as soon as I soaked the pee, the frozen soil on the ground immediately loosened, and later I learned that it was the effect of the child's urine.

Hu Banxian saw that the entrance of the cave was almost filled, so he lay down and asked me to bury him, I dare, but Hu Banxian was very strict, so I had to do it, and it took a lot of effort to bury Hu Banxian, and the cave was filled.

I didn't know that I was so small that strength, dawn I went home alone, my mother kept watch at home all night, when I entered the back room, I saw Hu Banxian's grandfather lying on the bed well, I was surprised at that time, I told my mother about last night, scared her face pale, quickly hugged me and knelt down, let me kowtow to Hu Banxian.

At that time, all seven oil lamps were extinguished, and when my mother touched Hu Banxian's body, it was already cold.

When I grew up, I realized that that night Hu Banxian was borrowing his life to return to the light, and he asked me to complete the regret he left behind, and plug the hole split by the thunder with his soul, so that our Hu family would not be dead.

Hu Banxian's later life was helped by the people in the village, so we buried him in that hole, and it was strange to say that when the hole was dug that day, there was a white snake lying inside, which scared the people in the village half to death, and said that it was the reincarnation of my grandfather Hu Banxian.

It's a pity that the weather was cold, and the white snake froze to death as soon as it was dug out, and I cried for a long time.

But since then, my body has never been sick, and my mother told me that Hu Banxian used his own body to block the deflated dragon vein, so he blessed our Hu family with peace and security, and I also believe in this.

In the early nineties, the tide swept across the country, and many people left in Qianshan County, and our Longkou Village was half empty, leaving a village of orphans and children.

Our village was originally not called Longkou Village, this name was changed later, and the hole that my grandfather Hu Banxian pointed was struck by lightning, revealing a mouth, so later it was called Longkou, and our village was changed to Longkou Village.

After the tide began, I didn't follow the trend, not because I wanted to, but because I promised Grandpa Hu Banxian to inherit his knowledge, so I stayed in Qianshan and continued to show people Feng Shui.

Hu Banxian's name is not blown in vain, as his heir, people in the township, there are red and white happy events in the family will come to me, on the face of saying that I am a master, in fact, I know, that is to enjoy food.

Feng Shui master's meal is not so easy to eat, there are many taboos, such as the five troubles, five wants, five nos, six precepts, ten non-phases, thirty-six fears, etc., these are the summary of the experience of the sages, to the subtlety, must be known.

And I have a lot of dealings with dead people, and my mother is always afraid that I won't find a daughter-in-law to break off the Hu family.

In the early summer of August, the weather is so hot that the older generation says that it is a drought fish, and they almost all hide at home on this day, and they are too lazy to go out, but those half-grown children like to swim in the river at this time.

There are many mountains and rivers in the three eastern provinces, and it is common for the world to be flooded, but many people will drown at this time of year.

I was sorting out Hu Banxian's relics at home, and I felt that something was going to happen, but wasn't it, at this time, the old village chief ran in, and he said in a hurry: "Go to the dam river, more than a dozen boys are folded in it, I call the young people in the village, all hurry up, you go too, hurry up, hurry up." ”

I listened to the anxiety in my heart, there are few people in the village, but whenever there is any major event, I have to gather everyone in the village to do it together, I heard the old village chief Wang Hua said that it is very powerful, about a dozen people were flooded in the dam river.

The dam river is a reservoir built above, through the Songhua River, the water of the ancestral mountain comes from the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, the water is very deep, I have also played in it, the river did not stop the dam when many people drowned, but can not stop the young man's love to play.

I was about to help, but my mother stopped me and said, "Don't come out, there are water ghosts in the river, and now the water ghosts must have caught the dead ghosts again." ”

I know that my mother is worried about me, but I really have to take care of this life-threatening matter, otherwise how can I be worthy of the title of Hu Banxian.

When I went out, I saw that many young and old people in the village were rushing to the dam river, fighting with the devils back then, everyone was nervous, and more than a dozen lives were at stake, and no one dared to be sloppy.

I followed the crowd trotting over, the dam river was already full of people, there were a few bare-ass boys standing on the bank of the river and crying, maybe the people who came up from the dam river before, there were also bold people in the water, and they were fishing for people in it, and at this time there were people jumping down from time to time on the shore, and the entire dam river reservoir was like cooking dumplings.

I just watched the person jump down, but I didn't see anyone scoop up the child who folded into it, I was anxious, young and vigorous, and I wanted to jump down, but at this time a fat man came up, carrying a child on his body, and he was wearing pants, and the fat man's face was full of mud, and it seemed that he had gotten to the bottom of the river to fish people up.

I know the fat man, he is the old man in the village, called Wang Hong is as old as me, he has no daughter-in-law in his twenties, he is delicious and lazy, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and the people in the village avoid him when they see him, but don't say it, this person has a good heart, such a dangerous thing, he is not ambiguous at all.

The old village chief squatted on the ground, touched the child's snort, and was dead, the child's eyes were round and round, his fingers were curled up, his nails were full of mud, and his mouth was blue, like a dead water ghost.

What's even more terrifying is that his legs are bruised, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are paw prints on his legs, as if they have been dragged into the water by something.

I heard the rumors spread, and they all said that it was the water ghosts who dragged the child into the water and drowned, and the fear began to spread, and the people under the water were like ants on a hot pot at this time, knowing that there were water ghosts in the water, and they dared to stay there, and ran towards the shore in a swarm.

The old village chief is a materialist thought, even if he knows that it is a water ghost, he can't let this kind of thing get out, he scolds those who have different opinions, but what he says works there, those villagers can say what they should say, the old village chief can't help it.

At this time, I heard a miserable scream, it was a woman crying, the big guys were all around the woman, I also watched the past, this woman is not very old, seventeen or eighteen years old, called Zhang Furong, long water is very smart, big braids and cloth clothes, his father is a butcher, and the family is quite wealthy.

The child who died was his younger brother, more than a dozen children went down to swim in the river, only his brother died, no wonder she cried sadly.
