001 Five-character taboo
When my grandmother was dying, she grabbed my arm and repeated a sentence intermittently: "Changshan, Changshan, you must live!" ”
I nodded vigorously and kept agreeing. I'm only sixteen years old, and I want to live, but I've been tormented by a strange disease for more than half a year, and I can't seem to live anymore.
The coffin had already been prepared, two benches were driving the coffin across the central hall, and the grandmother was changed into a pale white shroud and covered her face with a white cloth, and lay on her back in the coffin.
I know that my grandmother, who loved me the most, left me forever. His father wore a strip of white cloth tied with Dai Xiao on his arm, and invited the well-known Mr. Yin and Yang, Zhang Qiyun.
It was a thin old man, and when he came in, his face was gloomy, as if a layer of frost had frozen on it. He stared at the mourning hall that was being decorated, and suddenly pointed to the divine throne on the middle hall and asked, "Who wrote these five emperor divine thrones?" ”
The Five Emperors Divine Throne he mentioned refers to the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" enshrined in the middle hall. The father stood beside him and replied in a low tone, "I wrote it!" ”
Zhang Qiyuan's tone suddenly became stern, and he asked, "Nonsense!" The Five Emperors also dare to scribble! ”
When my father heard this, he just lowered his head and didn't say a word. I had the impression that my father was a shrewd businessman and a diligent reader, but at the moment, he was more of a wooden man.
Zhang Qiyun didn't notice his father's depressed mood, and still said sternly: "Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher of the Five Emperors, among which there are taboos, pay attention to: people do not hold up to the sky, the earth does not leave the earth, the king does not open his mouth, his eyes are not closed (refer to the traditional Chinese writing), and the teacher does not carry a knife." If you break the taboo, you will bring disaster. If the character below the word horizontally reaches the top one, this is called the herringbone top of the sky, and if you violate this taboo, the family will inevitably encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, either death or disability. And if the word is out of the soil, it is rootless, and it will be extinct, the word Jun opens, it is a disaster of prison, and the word closes its eyes, then the relatives die early, and the word of the teacher with a knife is the disaster of blood and light! And the taboo that your family has committed: it is the words of the ground that leave the soil, and the words of the parents close their eyes. And when you write these five words, there are words from the ground, and your eyes are closed! ”
When my father listened to this, cold sweat fell from his forehead, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, I really don't know these five words when I write them!" ”
"If you don't know, you dare to scribble!" Zhang Qiyun snorted coldly, "Your family has come to a catastrophe!" ”
I stood quietly in front of my grandmother's coffin, and at this moment I heard this thin old man talking loudly, and did not prepare a funeral ceremony for my grandmother, and I was even more angry in grief, and I couldn't help but ask: "We are here to invite you to my grandmother's funeral, not to point fingers!" ”
Zhang Qiyun glanced at me, "If you can't find the root cause of the disaster, what's the use of sending a funeral?" Speaking of this, he pointed to the "Five Emperors Divine Throne" and continued: "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, among them, the words of the family with their eyes closed, must be the early death of their relatives, and they will not be blinded!" After saying that, he looked at me and said, "If you don't believe me, you can open the white cloth and see!" ”
I didn't believe this old man's nonsense at all, grandma grabbed my hand and left, I watched her close her eyes, how could she not be blind? As much as I don't want to believe Grandma's departure, it's a fact after all.
I even suspect that this person named Zhang Qiyun may have had a holiday with his grandmother before his death. So, he's messing around.
I slowly walked to my grandmother's coffin, and before removing the white cloth covering my grandmother's face, I made up my mind: "If, he is wrong!" I don't care who he is or how famous he is, I'm going to get him out of here! ”
I gently lifted the new white cloth, and in an instant, I felt dizzy, and half of my body was stiff and cold.
In front of my eyes, my grandmother's gray eyes were wide open, looking up vacantly. It's no longer as kind and kind as before, but it looks extremely scary.
My hands trembled a little, and I quickly put the white cloth back on. All my anger vanished, and all that was left was horror and fear.
I even took a step back, knowing that it was my grandmother, but I didn't dare to come any closer.
"Don't close your eyes, don't look at death!" Zhang Qiyun sighed on the side.
The father was also frightened, and he asked in a trembling tone, "First, sir...... What now? ”
"If you don't look blind when you die, you will commit heavy mourning when you enter the ground (committing heavy mourning, referring to the burial of relatives, the days are not good for your family, and there will be funerals at home!) It can only be cremated! ”
Listening to Old Man Zhang's words, I closed my eyes tightly, not knowing what to do, and after a long time, I asked him: "Old man, it's just written like these five, is it really that powerful?" ”
He nodded, staring at me, "The word is out of the earth, and it is doomed." Your birth may be unusual! ”
My father nodded with tears in his eyes, and immediately told me a series of things before and after I was born.
The father had children only in the sixth year after his marriage. The mother's first child came alive but was still. The grandmother, who was originally full of hope, fell into the abyss, and she took the dead child with her, and according to the oldest custom in the village, she found the eldest woman in the family. According to the old tradition, the grandmother found a coffin nail and pressed it to the door of the dead child's head, but the grandmother rolled the child in a broken mat and threw it up the mountain.
Soon, the mother became pregnant with her second child. However, when the second child was born, there was a blood-red nail-eyed birthmark on his forehead. Seeing this birthmark, grandma already had a premonition that something was wrong. The child cried for most of the night, and ran out of breath before dawn.
The angry and hateful grandmother killed a rooster, used chicken blood and rice balls, and sent it to the foot of the mountain at dusk, afraid that he would come to my house to entangle, so she slashed him twice in the foot.
When the third child was born, not only did he have blood-red nail holes on his forehead, but he also had knife marks on his feet. As soon as the grandmother saw the birthmark on the child's body, she fainted with fright. The third child lived for five days and died quietly, without even crying.
According to the old saying, this situation is a ghost baby, and if you don't scare it away, it will always haunt my house.
Grandma went to the blacksmith shop in town to buy a brand new pig-killing knife and came back, then sharpened it back and forth on the stone mill for an afternoon. After making the newly purchased knife sharp enough, the grandmother dragged the baby's body to the foot of the mountain, and then used this pig-killing knife to chop the baby's body into eight pieces, and threw them in eight different directions, and then brought the bloody pig-killing knife home, and tied it to the gate with red thread.
A year later, I was born without any birthmarks on my body.
Because I have died three children before, my birth is particularly expensive, and I have become the heart and soul of the whole family as soon as I land.
After I was born, I worshipped the mountain medicine picker who sent medicine to my father's pharmacy as my godfather, and he gave me a name with a traditional Chinese medicine: Changshan.
Old man Zhang listened carefully to what his father said, and pondered for a moment before continuing: "Heaven and Earth Jun pro-teacher, five characters and five emperors, one word for sixteen years, a total of ninety years, ninety years is a reincarnation, take away the people of the world." The taboo lasts for sixteen years, and this child is sixteen years old this year, which is the deadline for the word to leave the earth......"
The father was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak, Zhang Qiyun also frowned, and kept whispering: "Three children died in a row, how can this fourth child live to be sixteen years old?" It's weird! ”
"Sir, this child has been sick for a long time now, and the doctor has been here a lot, but no one can cure him! Now it seems that it is indeed as you said, I think I am proficient in calligraphy, scribbling the position of the Five Emperors, violating the taboo, all the consequences are borne by me, please save my son's life! As he spoke, his father fell to his knees.
Zhang Qiyun stared at me and shook his head. Then he turned his head and looked at the god throne only. In the middle of the god seat is: the god seat of the heaven and earth monarch and teacher. On the left and right sides is a couplet: the golden furnace is constantly burning for thousands of years, and the jade lamp is long lived. Horizontal batch: "Light before and after"
He looked at it for a long time, and then pointed to the couplets on the left and right of the shrine and said: "There must be an antidote to snake venom within seven steps, and this method of lifting the taboo is naturally also on this shrine, but it is just to do this: the golden furnace is constantly burning for thousands of years, and the jade lamp is long lived, how easy is it to talk about?" ”
