Just when I was helpless, a voice suddenly came.

"What this little Taoist priest said is true, he chased me here." It turned out that the ghost had hid in the flower bed just now, and now he came out and defended me.

The boy glanced at the ghost and asked, "Which woman are you, and why did you bring him here?" ”

The ghost suddenly knelt in front of the boy, crying and said, "I am the descendant of this Zhang family ancestral hall, I want to see my ancestors and ancestors, and ask for one thing." ”

The girl said: "This is the place where the ancestors cultivated, you should not come here." And now that he's dead, it's better to be reincarnated as soon as possible. The ancestor once said: Descendants have their own blessings, and you don't have to bother. ”

After saying that, the boy and woman walked into the gate with lanterns, turned back to me and said, "You Taoist priests, don't think about getting involved in this place in the future." With that, the door shut.

I was finally able to move, and I got up, and I couldn't care about the female ghost anymore, so I hurriedly ran outside, and I saw the female ghost chasing after me.

I ran over the wall, and now the talisman and sword have been lost, and there is no way to deal with the female ghost, so I can only turn to the Taoist temple next to me.

I crossed the river, ran for more than 20 minutes, and finally arrived at the Taoist temple, while shouting for help, while banging on the door vigorously, I saw that the female ghost had chased not far away, I should be afraid of this Taoist temple, looking at me from a distance.

After a while, someone opened the door, and I got inside.

The man who opened the door was a young man, who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, and was very surprised to see my embarrassed appearance, and recognized me for a while, and said, "Aren't you from Songwan?" ”

At this time, a few more people walked out, and one of them, an old Taoist priest with a white beard, looked at me and asked, "Are you the little Taoist priest who cultivated in Taoist Bay?" ”

I nodded hurriedly.

"Why are you shouting for help?"

"There's something dirty chasing me."

The old Taoist priest signaled, and the young man opened the door alertly, stretched out his head to take a look, and then turned his head and shook it to show that he had not seen anything.

The old Taoist priest asked me, "You don't practice in Taoist Bay, why did you come here?" Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his face changed, and he asked, "Isn't something happened to your master?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, it's just me." ”

The old Taoist priest seemed to be relieved and said with a smile: "Then you have nothing to do at night, why are you going to mess with ghosts." So saying, he asked the young man to lead me into the house and sit down, while the other Taoist priests went to sleep.

The young man poured a cup of tea, and I said thank you, cousin.

The old Taoist priest smiled: "You shouldn't call cousin, you should call senior brother, you should call me uncle." ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "My master mentioned you." ”

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "When he mentions me, he must not have anything good to say." "Actually, I'm lying, the master only said a word about this Taoist temple before, and didn't say anything at all, and I don't want to ask the master about the estrangement between the two families, but I guess that this Taoist temple is likely to be opened after the former Taishi Uncle was kicked out of Taoist Bay.

The teacher asked me to tell him what had happened tonight, and I saw that he was a fellow student after all, and that he was amiable, so I told him the truth, and out of curiosity, I asked him what was going on with the boys and girls in the school.

"The boy and the girl are the ones who are responsible for guarding the land. ”

I asked, "I know that the Zhang family is from the Wang family, but I didn't expect that there were schools built on this land, and there were still things to guard." Uncle Shi said with a smile: "The Zhang family is a Wang family, and it is related to this land, but these things are kept here, not just for the Zhang family." I hurriedly asked, "Why is that?" ”

Shi Bo Zhengse said: "Have you ever heard the word Huangtianhou soil? ”

"Of course I know that, and I have to worship them before every time I sing."

Uncle Shi said: "This land is related to the soil behind it. "Huangtian Houtu refers to heaven and earth, Huangtian refers to heaven, and Houtu is earth. In Taoist culture, Huang Tian and Hou Tu are both gods. Houtu is a goddess, holding yin and yang, and nurturing all things.

I wanted to know more, but Uncle Shi waved his hand and said that the rest of the things were forbidden, and he wouldn't even say anything about his own apprentice.

At this time, I thought that he must have learned about it from Uncle Taishi, and Uncle Taishi studied forbidden arts, the reason why he chose the new Taoist temple here at that time, could there be a mystery in it?

Later, I asked about the relationship between the two Taoist temples and why they don't communicate much now, and Uncle Shi smiled and said, "I guess your master won't tell you, so I'll tell you about it." ”

There are three apprentices under the patriarch's knees, one is Uncle Taishi, one is my master, and the other is Uncle Taishi, who is the master of Zhang Blind, and later returned to the vulgar. Master Tai is honest, and kind-hearted, just to subdue demons and eliminate demons, not too concerned about money and fame, etc., thinking that Taoist priests should cultivate themselves and be hermits in the mountains. The Taishi Uncle is talented and intelligent, and he is strong in Taoism, but he thinks that Taoist priests are actually a profession and should be integrated into society.

In other words, Master Tai is the idealist, and Master Tai is the Practicalist.

Uncle Taishi not only subdued demons and eliminated demons, but also used forbidden techniques for rich people, so he was intolerable by Master Zu, and was driven out of Taoist Bay and came here. Later, Uncle Taishi was punished by God because of the forbidden arts, but he was rescued by the master sent by the patriarch.

Since then, although the two Taoist temples have rarely interacted, they have always been one. Every ten years, the two families actually hold the festival together.

That night, Uncle Shi arranged for me to sleep in the wing, and early the next morning, I felt that my eyes were swollen, and I thought that I had not slept well, so I had breakfast in the Taoist temple in the morning, and then went back to Songwan.

It's just that on the way, I feel like I'm having trouble breathing, as if I have something on my back.

When I returned to Songwan, my mother asked me, "Why did you come back early in the morning when you weren't in Daoshiwan?" ”

I rubbed my eyes and said, "I haven't been back to Daoist Bay for a long time, I'm not used to it, I didn't sleep well last night, and I want to come back to make up for sleep." ”

The mother smiled, "You little child, why do you always want to sleep?" ”

He hurriedly stared into my eyes and asked, "Oh, do you have something in your eyes or do you have pink eye?" So red. ”

I smiled, "I guess I just didn't sleep well, just sleep for a while." ”

My mother smiled and told me to sleep at home, and she went to work in the fields.

At noon, my mother called me out to eat, I felt that my eyes were swollen, my mother saw me, and hurriedly said, "Your eyes haven't slept well, why are they so swollen, have you encountered something dirty?" ”

I walked over to the table, said I didn't know, picked up the bowl, and began to eat.

While eating, my mother looked at me worriedly and said, "I'll take you to Xinzhangwan in the afternoon, and look at the grandmother of the Zhang family to see if she has touched something." ”

This grandmother is also a little famous in our country, mainly for looking at people's eyes, called occupying eyes. If there is something in your eyes, the countryside sometimes thinks that the feng shui at home is blocked, or you encounter something, Grandma Zhang only needs to look at it, you can know if it is in the wrong place at the door of your house, or which unjust soul you have offended, she will teach you how to do it, and soon the eye disease will be cured.

In the afternoon, my mother took me to Xinzhangwan, and on the way my mother told me that the woman who was killed at the gate of the high school was Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law, and the old man was quite pitiful, the son had not died for a few years, and the daughter-in-law had also died, and now only a grandson, that is, my brother's classmate, had to be taken care of.

We came to Xinzhangwan, Grandma Zhang's family lived in a few tiled houses, Grandma Zhang was at the door to collect the soles of her shoes, although she was nearly 70 years old, but she was still very energetic, she saw us coming, hurriedly put down the soles of the shoes, let us sit, and poured water for us.

My mother explained her intentions, and Grandma Zhang shook her head and said, "I'm old now, and I don't want to help people look at their eyes." This eye-occupancy is also a matter of the open-air machine, you see that I am so old, my son is gone, and my daughter-in-law is gone a few days ago, this white-haired person sends a black-haired person, it is all retribution. ”

Her mother comforted her that it was just a difference in their lives.

Grandma Zhang still shook her head and said, "I have a grandson now, I don't want him to have any more accidents." ”

The mother begged, "You just help him to see if he encounters anything dirty without letting you teach him how to do it." Grandma Zhang listened, and it was not easy to refuse, so she asked me to sit over, and she supported my two eyelids with her hands, and I felt that my eyes were about to cry in the wind.

After reading it, Grandma Zhang said to her mother: "I can't see anything dirty, it may be that the child has pink eye, you just let the doctor take a look." ”

Mother was relieved, and gossiped for a long time, when it was getting late, we were leaving, Grandma Zhang left us to eat, Mother looked at her as an old man, no one in front of the house chopped firewood, Mother was soft-hearted, let me help chop firewood, she helped Grandma Zhang cook a meal.

When the meal was ready, Grandma Zhang asked us to eat first, and my mother said that there was no hurry, and when your grandson came back, she would help chop all the remaining firewood.

After a while, his grandson Zhang Ming came back and saw that we just said hello, and Grandma Zhang greeted us for dinner.

In fact, there is nothing to eat at home, only pickles, put some bacon in it, put it on the small stove to boil, Grandma Zhang boiled a few salted eggs, said that this was still pickled when her daughter-in-law was there, cut it and let us eat.

My mother gave Zhang Ming a few pieces of bacon inside, and said that Song Jie (that is, my brother) is a classmate in your class, and I will play with him more in the future and go to our house to play when I have time.

Zhang Ming just nodded, lowered his head and pulled the rice, and when he ate the eggs, his nose kept sucking, I think he should be sad when he thought of his mother.

When my mother left, she gave more than 100 yuan to Grandma Zhang, saying that she saw that my child had something in his eyes, and he was in a hurry when he came, so you can accept this money, and it is almost the New Year, buy some food and clothing for the child.

Then my mother took me out of Xinzhangwan and went to the village health center, where the doctor helped me look at my eyes and gave me a few bottles of eye drops on credit.

By this time it was already dark, and when I came, I didn't bring a flashlight, and my mother walked in front of me, pulling me and telling me to watch out for the road ahead.

When I got home, my brother said that the master came in the evening, and said that he didn't see me go to Taoist Bay today, and he was a little worried. My mother thought I had sneaked back in the morning to catch up on sleep, so she didn't care.

I stayed in Songwan at night, and the doctor said that I had a bacterial infection, which should be because I wiped the tears of the cow, and I dropped eye drops, and my eyes were really much more comfortable.

In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly, I felt tightness in my chest, I wanted to move but couldn't, I wanted to open my eyes, but I felt that my eyelids were so tired, could it be that I encountered a ghost pressing bed, in other words, it is very likely, the female ghost followed.

But I couldn't move, and I felt groggy again, and I fell asleep again.

In the morning, I felt much better in my eyes, but I was afraid that the female ghost would still follow me, so I ran to Daoist Bay after eating.

When I arrived at Daoist Bay, the master was basking in the sun on the rice field, and when he saw me coming back, he just asked me if I had breakfast, but I felt that I might have been targeted by the female ghost, so I couldn't help but ask the master: "Master, do you see anything dirty on me?" ”

At this time, the master looked at me carefully and asked, "I heard yesterday that you went to see your eyes, did you encounter something?" ”

I couldn't hide it, so I told my master about my high school incident, but omitted the part where I went to the Taoist temple.

After hearing this, the master was very angry and said, "What kind of place is the school, you don't want to think about it, why is there a Taoist temple so close to it, but there is no Taoist priest to remove ghosts?" ”

Then I was asked to go into the house with him, and he lit a handful of incense, swept it over me, and said, "Now the female ghost has not followed, but from what you said, she probably has her eyes on you." In the evening we went to school and finished the matter. ”

I couldn't help but ask the master: "What kind of place is that school, why don't Taoist priests dare to touch it, and why does that boy and girl still know that I am a Taoist priest in Taoist Bay?" ”

The master thought for a moment and said: "That place is the ancestral hall of the Zhang family before, when the four old ones were broken, all the spirit tablets there were buried and changed into a school. ”

I hurriedly asked, "What does that have to do with our Taoist priests in Daoist Bay?" ”

The master said, "Don't ask about those things, it's just that you can't afford to mess with that place." "I guessed in my heart that the boy and girl guessed that I was a Taoist priest from Daoist Bay, and they should have seen the talisman I used, but which Taoist priest provoked them?

The boy and the girl said that there were Taoist priests who had been eyeing that piece of land before, and the master mentioned that the place was related to the "Hou Tu", could it be that the master was too much? However, it is said that it is a Taoist priest in Taoist Bay, which proves that the time should be before Taishi Bo was driven out of Taoist Bay.

But in Uncle Taishi's codex, there is no mention of this place at all, so it is a bit contradictory.

And the boys and girls only warned me, but did not dig deeper, proving that they were a little jealous of the Taoist priest's Taoism before.

A Taoist priest with a strong Taoist skill, thinking about it like this, he has offended the Taoist priest there before, not the Taishi Uncle, and the master and the Taishi are impossible, is it the ancestral master?

But why did he set his sights on that place?
