I grew up with my grandfather, after all, I didn't have any feelings for my father and mother, after I was weaned, they went to the city to work, and they came back for a few days during the New Year's holidays, and then left.

I'm eight years old now, and I don't remember seeing my parents for a month.

All along, I treated my grandfather as my own father, although I was angry and said that he abused me, I was just angry that he left it alone.

When Grandpa saw that the Soul Messenger had entered the house and couldn't see the two of us, Grandpa knew that I was angry and winked at me a few more times.

Whenever Grandpa had his own plans and was afraid that I would get in his way, he would wink at me.

I was stunned in my heart, thinking that my grandfather treated me like a son on weekdays, where would he say that if he loses it, he will lose it, and grandpa will not light incense for no reason, there must be a plan in it, and my heart is biased towards grandpa, so I have to obediently shut my mouth.

I looked inside, and my grandfather lit the longest incense in the house, which can burn for a whole hour, and grandpa doesn't always take out this incense on weekdays.

At this time, grandpa walked to the stove room alone, there was a dragon bar left there idle in the house, grandpa took out the gray dragon bar from the stove room, looked at me meaningfully, made a shush gesture, signaled me not to make a sound.

I nodded dumbfoundedly.

After the death of the dragon bar people out of the funeral used to carry the coffin with the bar, our village also people like to call it the descendant stick, because there are many old people left behind in the village, but all the old people who reach the age of 60 will prepare the coffin for themselves in advance in case of emergency, and at the same time will prepare the things to be used for the funeral, so as not to let the young people fail to come back in time, and the village people do not need to advance money to prepare.

Grandpa looked at the soul messenger, they were enjoying it, they didn't know what we were doing here, grandpa leaned down and whispered to me, "This thing is a dragon bar that carries the coffin, it has the effect of connecting yin and yang, the reason why it is called the dragon bar is because it is blessed by the gods, this thing is very effective." ”

I looked at my grandfather in amazement, I didn't know what he wanted to do with this dragon bar, grandpa lifted the dragon bar and walked to the front of the house, and before the soul messenger could react, grandpa closed the door hard, and put the dragon bar horizontally at the door, blocking the door.

This action immediately alarmed the soul envoy who was still sucking incense candles in the house, and a scolding voice came from inside, "Old immortal! Hurry up and open the door! Don't force me, we're coming out, and you'll look good when the time comes! ”

Grandpa stood at the door and smiled at first, and then scolded in an extremely vicious voice, "Scold, scold, even if you roar through your throat, no one will open the door for you, wait until dawn, let alone take Chen Tian down, whether you can go back alive depends on your ability, dare to scold Lao Tzu, live impatiently, and Lao Tzu is no big or small, Lao Tzu wants you to look good!" ”

The soul messenger inside hurriedly kicked the door hard, but the dragon bar was in the way, and they never pushed the door open, not only that, but also screamed in pain, it seems that grandpa really didn't lie to me, this thing really works!

I thought my grandfather really didn't want me anymore, but I deliberately lured them into the house, and then trapped them with a dragon bar.

Grandpa has an obvious ability to be shameless, although I can't learn this skill now, but I always think it is very useful.

I don't have to learn grandpa's skills, but now I feel that I should really learn grandpa's shameless skills!

I was very excited, and my grandfather turned to look at me again, and asked with a tiger on his face extremely unhappy, "Stinky boy, did you call Lao Tzu in front of me just now?" ”

I thought about it, just now I thought that my grandfather didn't want me, and I said Lao Tzu in a hurry, but now that I think about it, I was covered in a cold sweat, should my grandfather be cleaning me up?

Grandpa suddenly smiled happily, "Yes, yes, it's finally a little tempered, I still think you have always been a miscret, and you have been cowardly in this life, it seems that you are still saved." ”

I was stunned, grandpa is having a brain problem, I called Lao Tzu in front of him, it was not big or small, he didn't clean me up, but praised me, and it really made me dizzy.

The soul envoy in the room suddenly scolded, "The old immortal is actually calculating us, good!" We'll report it to Chenghuang, and your family won't be happy! ”

Grandpa looked at me proudly at this time and said, "Look, what is a scheme, this is a scheme." In Taoism, there are three gods and four ghosts. It means that there are three sticks of incense for the gods and four sticks for the ghosts. The three ghosts and four are also applicable to the time of burning paper, to burn the paper to the god to three sheets of three sheets of ground, to the ghost to burn four sheets of four sheets, the third is the number of yang, the fourth is the number of yin, the yang is higher than the yin. Burning incense is also, three gods and four ghosts. Three sticks of incense are burned for the idol and four sticks of incense are burned for the deceased. If it is burned in front of the grave, it is three branches, which are honoring people, demons, and gods. But when I burn incense in my house, and there is an idol in front of our house, it means that it can be offered to the god, and the three sticks of incense are burned to the gods, and they eat the incense of the gods as imps in the underworld, and that is to be punished, which is also called transgression. ”

For burning incense, grandpa has talked a lot of truths before, and what he taught me is how to burn incense for the gods, for example, burning incense is not more than an inch, and God does not believe in it, so most grandfathers will not take too long incense.

I couldn't help but ask my grandfather curiously, "Grandpa, didn't you say that you don't burn incense by an inch, and you don't believe it, I saw that you were holding a long incense, isn't this blasphemy?" ”

Grandpa smiled, "If it is really burned to God, then it will be blasphemous and ghostly, the incense is too much, and God does not believe in it, and this matter has nothing to do with me, but the mistake that the soul in the house has always made is because of greed, and the guilty is also to blame them, and the common people burn incense, and people can't care about it!" ”

When I heard this, I became even more convinced that my grandfather was a cunning old fox.

However, I also found that my grandfather also knows everything about Taoism, and all the things that he has been talking about recently are related to Taoism.

"Grandpa, you're amazing!" I laughed.

Grandpa glanced at me, "What about the robe that Lao Tzu gave you?" ”

I was embarrassed to remember, I seemed to have done something stupid again, I didn't dare to respond, I ran back and wrapped the robe around my body, only to find that the jade pendant was also left in the bath place and didn't take it, and picked up the jade pendant and hung it around my neck, and quickly returned to my grandfather, and said resignedly, "I'm dressed here." ”

Grandpa hated the appearance of iron not being steel, so he reached out and knocked on my head and said to me, "Next time you take off your robe, Lao Tzu will beat your legs straight up, you know no!" ”

"Got it." I immediately confessed my mistake.

The soul messenger inside has been scolding inside because he didn't dare to touch the door blocking the dragon bar, I used to only swear in the yang world, but I didn't expect the people in the underworld to swear swearing.

At this time, a wisp of green smoke suddenly came out of the jade pendant and came out of the air, but in a few seconds, Zhang Yao stood in front of us.

I didn't think she would come out, but when I saw her here, I really thought my daughter-in-law was too beautiful.

Zhang Yao looked at my grandfather with a panicked expression and said, "Can you let them go, they are not bad people." ”

Grandpa raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Yao with a slight difference, and asked curiously, "Do you know them?" ”

Zhang Yao was stunned, his expression hesitated a little and he didn't dare to answer, and he didn't speak after a long time, "They are really not bad people." ”

Grandpa frowned, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Zhang Yao with a reluctant face, "They want to take your little minister to see Chenghuang, are you willing?" ”

Zhang Yao shook his head, "I don't want to." ”

Grandpa said, "That's right, if I let them go, they will arrest your little husband and go, I will lock them up now, and I will take the dragon bar at dawn, and they only need to hurry up and leave here to survive." ”

Zhang Yao understood what her grandfather meant, and knew that she would not change her mind when she knew what her grandfather had decided, so she had to stop pleading.

When it was almost dawn, because Zhang Yao was not alive, he had to return to the jade pendant, and grandpa also moved the dragon bar and opened the door.

Soon disappeared without a trace.

My grandfather and I experienced this and we were completely sleepy, so it was just too early.

Grandpa boiled eggs, and I was eating them deliciously, when suddenly I heard the sound of cannons outside.

This is a three-shot cannon, a cannon that only someone who dies will set off, and it is used to inform the people in the village of the news.

Because the terrain of the village is uneven, if you go door-to-door to notify it is a very troublesome thing, as long as you set off a cannon and look for the direction of the sound, you can roughly know whose family has an accident, and the people in the village will prepare a funeral gift to send condolences.

"Grandpa, whose family died?" I couldn't tell the direction of the sound, but my grandfather was so good that he never had to go out to see where the cannon smoke was, and he would know whose house was in trouble after listening to it once.

Grandpa's face was obviously a little surprised, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, "Something happened to the donkey ball." ”

Naturally, the donkey ball in my grandfather's mouth was not me, but the old blind man who had done it before.

I wondered in my heart, I'm afraid I was mistaken, didn't there be a Taoist priest in the old blind man's house, how could something happen? If something happens to someone's family, it shouldn't be an old blind man.

My grandfather and I hurriedly went out to see what was going on, and when we went, the old blind man's door was surrounded by people from the village.

When the grandfather squeezed in, he saw the old blind man hanging on the beam of the house by a rope as thick as a baby's arm, and no one in the village dared to come forward to help, the blind woman and her two sons were crying beside them, and the village woman next to them was also helping to comfort them, and the whole house was in a commotion.

The so-called living people have a living appearance, and the dead also have a dead appearance, the old blind man's face has turned green, his whole body is hard and tense, and most of the hanged people have incontinence, and it is obvious that there is a foul smell of feces and urine.

Because no one stepped forward to help, only a man in a green robe stepped forward, found a stool and stepped on it, and carefully took down the body of the blind man.

This person must be the Taoist priest brought back by the blind man, and he does look different from the clothes of the people in our village.

Everyone asked the Taoist priest what was going on, after all, the Taoist priest lived in their house and must know the situation.

The Taoist priest looked at the villagers and said, "The old blind man died strangely, last night he asked me to take his wife and children to the nearby Taoist temple to make peace charms, saying that he had calculated his five disadvantages and missing relatives before, and asked me to help them make charms, so all four of us left the house overnight, and the blind man was in the house by himself, and when he came back during the day today, he found that something had happened." ”

Hearing this, I felt strange, although the old blind man had a strange temper, he was definitely not a person who couldn't think of committing suicide, he had such a big contradiction with my grandfather, he almost cut off his way to make money, and he didn't say that he couldn't think about it.

How good people are, if they say it's gone, it's gone.

This is the first time I've seen someone familiar die alive in front of me.

When my grandmother died, I didn't have much of an impression, and I felt quite scared to see the old blind man lying on the ground like this.

The Taoist priest looked at my grandfather at this time and suddenly said, "I heard that the old blind man contradicted you before?" ”

Grandpa's face changed at that time, and he scolded angrily, "Don't fuck me and pour dirty water on Lao Tzu!" ”

The Taoist priest said softly, "I don't doubt you, I just think that the blind man's things are weird and want to figure things out." ”

Grandpa has a big temper, when he heard this, he directly stretched out his hand and dragged me away from the crowd, grandpa's abnormal appearance made everyone feel very strange, and it made it look like grandpa had a ghost in his heart, and he ran away as a thief, but I knew that I had been with grandpa all the time, and it was definitely not grandpa.
