In a small village called Hongye Village in Chongqing, the village is located on a remote mountain, far away from the city, which is equivalent to staying away from the prosperity, my parents are also two ordinary farmers, Hongye Village is not big, the whole village adds up to less than 500 people, but there are more people and more people are better, and there are fewer people and fewer people are good, Hongye Village is like this, basically the people in the village rarely have conflicts or the like, everyone is relatively harmonious, but the place is a little remote, backward, to the nearest county seat from us, it used to take two hours.

In fact, the more backward the place, the more likely it is that something difficult to explain, that is, something that science cannot understand. For example, the theory of ghosts, in fact, according to common sense, we, the post-90s, driven by the motherland's defeat of all ghosts, snakes and gods, should not believe these superstitious statements, but is this really just superstition?

Everything has to start with a story I heard about myself, when I was two years old, that day, the sun was shining, my father was doing farm work as usual, but when I dug it down with a hoe, it didn't feel right, because my father felt that he had dug something hard, and my father estimated that it was porcelain, so he quickly dug it up harder, because maybe it was an antique that he dug up, and this was encountered several times before in our village, and there was a village name that dug up antiques, porcelain and the like. Then people from outside would come in and buy it, and it was usually at a high price, so my father was also very excited.

It didn't take long to dig up, and I dug out the things little by little, and my father took it out and saw that it was a sealed jar, the jar was dark brown, two feet long, one foot wide, and there were some red runes on the outside, and my father didn't pay attention to it, and this jar did look like it was worth a lot of money, so my father rushed home with the jar.

But halfway through the run, something didn't feel right, because my father felt as if there was something inside, and there was a foul stench coming from the jar.

My father was also very puzzled, so he opened the jar by himself, it was okay not to open it, and when he opened it, he was startled, and it turned out to be a dead baby, this dead baby was bruised, it looked like he should have died not long after birth, and he slept in the jar with his eyes closed.

My father was frightened and stupid, he had never encountered such an evil thing, so he quickly turned back to the place where the jar was dug up, buried the jar, and when he came back, his heart was pounding all the time, and he was scared, and he didn't tell anyone about it, and at 12 o'clock that night, my father heard the voice of a baby in the yard and asked my mother, and my mother said that she hadn't heard anything, so my father thought it was just that he was frightened today, and hallucinated.

But then, the next day, it came again, and the crying became louder and louder, and on the fifth day, my mother also heard it, and both of them were very afraid, and on the night of the seventh day, there was no crying, but I was only two years old at that time, and I began to have a high fever, and I kept crying, which I have no memory of.

Anyway, it's quite serious, and I ran all over the hospitals in the annex, and they all said that there was no rule of law, and I didn't know what strange diseases I encountered. I'm my family's three generations of single transmission, Dumiao, my father was anxious when he heard this, you must know that in the past, in the countryside, the three generations of single transmission is not much less valuable than the current giant panda, this is gone, what if you continue to give birth, what if you give birth to a girl, and you have to pay a fine or something.

Just when everyone was about to turn gray, my father suddenly thought of the canned food he had dug up that day, and thought of so many strange things in the past few days, and felt that my illness should have something to do with this dead baby.

After hearing this, the village chief also frowned, this matter is also really evil, and there is no way to discuss it with my father for a long time, after all, he is not an expert, and then the village chief said helplessly: "I can only ask a capable gentleman to come and see." ”

My father also nodded, the so-called Mr. in the past refers to people who have the ability, such as Mr. Teaching, etc., but at that time Mr. did not refer to Mr. Teaching, but to Mr. Yin and Yang, there are a lot of bizarre and strange things in this world, especially in the countryside before, at that time there were many Mr. Yin and Yang, but unfortunately after the Cultural Revolution, there are fewer and fewer gentlemen with skills outside, and now the outside is generally cheating money.

However, the village chief knows a capable gentleman, the former village chief's father died, and the gentleman was invited to see the feng shui, and then their family is indeed getting better and better, my father heard the village chief say this and immediately asked where the gentleman is, and my mother immediately rushed over with me. My condition at that time really couldn't be delayed, according to them, if I delayed for another day or two, I would have become demented directly, and there would be no more follow-up stories, cough cough, continue to continue.

I don't know what this gentleman's real name is, I only know that his surname is Liu, and everyone calls him Mr. Liu outside. I heard that it's very famous in this area.,It's trivial to catch a ghost or something.,There's a rumor outside that he's fought with a zombie.,Anyway, it's very evil.。

Mr. Liu actually lives on a small hillside fifty miles away from our village, behind the hillside is a bamboo forest, there is a small wooden house on the small hill lonely and independent, this small hillside is just enough to accommodate a small wooden house, it looks a little elegant, my parents saw the wooden house, excited, and ran a little faster, when they arrived, just wanted to knock on the door, the person in the door opened the door.

Mr. Liu opened the door and said, "Come in and talk" Then he turned around and entered the house, my parents did not hesitate, according to their words, for me, even if it is a mountain of swords and fire, I have to break in, let alone enter a room.

After entering, I found that the interior was very elegant, the furniture was made of bamboo, and Mr. Liu was already sitting on a stool drinking hot tea.

When Mr. Liu saw my parents come in, he smiled and said, "Come and sit down and have a cup of tea." ”

Mr. Liu looked to be in his 50s, with slow gray hair and some wrinkles on his face, but his complexion was ruddy and full of energy.

My parents were not polite and sat down directly, but without drinking tea, my father asked directly: "Mr. Liu, my child has hit an evil spirit, I hope you can save him." ”

Mr. Liu hesitated and frowned at this time, and his father saw something and asked, "Is there any difficulty with Mr. Liu?" My family is also poor and can't get anything, but if I don't dislike it, my family still has some coarse grains, which I can give to Mr. Liu. ”

Mr. Liu listened to my father's words, was stunned, and did not answer my father's words directly, but instead turned around and said with a sad face: "It's not that I don't want to help the two, I don't know if the two of you have heard of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings." ”

"Five disadvantages and three shortcomings?" My father and mother looked at each other and asked suspiciously, I don't know why Mr. Liu said this.

"Oh, I think you shouldn't know it, the so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies refer to a numerology. The so-called five evils are nothing more than 'widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability.' To put it bluntly, the three deficiencies are 'money, life, and power'. And I'm guilty of a lack of life. Saying this, Mr. Liu's face was calm.

"A friend of mine calculated for me that I don't have much to do, and I still have twenty years of life left, that is to say, as long as I still help people tell fortunes and eliminate demons, my surname life will become shorter and shorter." After speaking, Mr. Liu closed his eyes and did not continue to say anything.

When my parents heard this, they also fell silent, indeed, if Mr. Liu still helps my father, he will save others with his own life, and my parents are also kind people, and they don't want to let Mr. Liu lose his life for me.

My father glanced at me lying in his arms and said, "What can I do like this, my child is still so young, I don't want him to die like this, otherwise this way, my child recognizes you as a godfather, I heard that you have no children in your life, so make an exception to save my child." "This is what the village chief told my father before, Mr. Liu has never had children and has always wanted one.

Mr. Liu's eyes flickered, looking at me lying on the chair, full of kindness, but he shook his head and said, "Godfather? Forget it, but I can consider accepting this child as my apprentice. ”

"No, wouldn't he have five disadvantages in this case?" My mother, who had not spoken on the side, spoke, she had just heard about the terrible five disadvantages and three shortcomings, but she didn't want me to cultivate anything.

When my father heard this, he was a little angry, after all, it would be good if Mr. Liu could accept me as an apprentice now, what if he was in a bad mood and didn't want to accept him?

Mr. Liu didn't have anything, but nodded and said: "Five disadvantages and three shortcomings may not be a good thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

My father listened to Mr. Liu's words, and fell silent, thinking that my father was not very willing to let me follow Mr. Liu to the so-called cultivation, how can there be so many ghosts now, but I also know which is more important, looking at Mr. Liu's attitude, I have already planned, if I don't agree, I will definitely not save me, although one of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings must be one, but it is better than dying now. So as soon as my father gritted his teeth, he agreed.

Seeing that my father agreed, Mr. Liu nodded and turned his head to look at my situation, but when he saw my situation, he gasped.

"Brother, what the hell have you committed?" Mr. Liu looked at my father solemnly and asked.

Then my father told Mr. Liu all about what happened to him, and when Mr. Liu heard it, he pinched his fingers and counted it.
