Chapter 1: Leaving Home
Hello friends, my name is Liu Huanghe, a little behind in my 70s, my ancestral home is by the Yellow River, and I now live at the foot of Taihang Mountain. Two years ago, I wrote a post about the exorcism of our ancestors and my own experience before I was 30 years old. Today, I would like to write about my four-year experience of wandering with Chen Daochang after graduating from junior high school. The purpose of writing this is the same as the purpose of my last post, and if the purpose is not achieved, I will not give up!
I won't say much nonsense, the day Chen Daochang came to our house, I just finished the final exam of the third year of junior high school, and the school gave a week off, and after a week, I went back to school to repeat my studies to meet the entrance exam.
It was at such a juncture that Chen Daochang came to our house with the token passed to him by his master, what are you doing here, asking for help, he encountered a very tricky matter, and he had to find it.
Chen Daochang's real name is Chen Hui, a native of Xicun, during the Cultural Revolution, Huanghuaguan was smashed, his master "Xinyangzi" was forced to hang himself, he ran into the deep mountains and old forests with a junior brother, and there has been no news of him since then, our family thought that he could not survive the disaster, but no one expected that more than 20 years later, he actually appeared at the door of our house with the "Four Water Order".
Originally, he came to find my grandmother, but my grandmother was almost eighty years old at the time, and she couldn't go far and couldn't help him...... Are you going to help Chen Hui, or are you going to continue your school after school starts? ”
Hearing my grandmother's question, I didn't even think about it, and directly said to my grandmother: "I don't go to school anymore, and it's not interesting to go to school at all." "Seriously, I didn't really want to go to school at that time.
That's it, I went to help Chen Hui Chen Daochang instead of my grandmother, but I didn't expect this help to be four years, it can be said that these four years have been ups and downs, ups and downs, now think about it, these four years are like a nightmare, turning me from a junior high school student who just came out of school into an adult who has experienced vicissitudes. Until now, until a few days before I started writing this, I dreamed of some things that happened in the past, and I can't tell what it feels like, I can only say that the past is really unbearable.
At that time, it was not smooth when I left home with Chen Daochang, first I sent Xiao Wang Qiangshun, I heard that I was not going to school anymore, and I was going to follow an old Taoist priest to other places, and I was pestering my grandmother to follow.
Wang Qiangshun and their family and our ancestors for several generations of friendship, the Anti-Japanese War moved from the Yellow River to the foot of the Taihang Mountain, the two families are like a family, and for so many years have been dependent on each other, Qiang Shun in front of my grandmother, and my own grandson treatment is the same, grandma was finally entangled by Qiang Shun helpless, sighed and said: "It seems that this is the fate of the two of you!" ”
After grandma finished speaking, she turned her face and said to Chen Daochang again, "You can take this child Qiang Shun with you, he can also help a little." ”
Chen Daochang looked at Qiang Shun and didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything. In terms of age, my grandmother is eight or nine years older than him, in terms of generation, my grandmother and his master "Xinyangzi" are the same generation, in terms of kindness, Chen Daochang was a "hundred resentment body" when he was young, and he was entangled by two female ghosts and an old king and eight spirits at the same time, all of which were rescued by my grandmother and my grandfather, and it can be said that he was as kind as a mountain.
However, although I was young at that time, I could also see that Chen Daochang was not very happy to take Qiang Shun away, so my grandmother whispered a few words to Chen Daochang, and when Chen Daochang heard this, he immediately opened his eyes round, looked at Qiang Shun with very surprised eyes, and then asked my grandmother in a low voice: "Bai Xiangu, this child still has this ability?" ”
Grandma nodded and said, "Qiang Shun He is born, only the blood on Huang He's body can be suppressed, if necessary, you ask him to wipe the blood off his chest." ”
Chen Daochang heard my grandmother say this, and completely agreed to bring Qiang Shun with him, and I was very happy, at least I had a companion, and I was also my best friend.
That night, Chen Daochang had dinner at our house, and when I was eating, my father heard that my grandmother wanted me to drop out of school and follow Chen Daochang to other places, and he was immediately unhappy.
Grandma told my dad that Chen Hui opened a dojo in the south, specializing in treating people with evil diseases and feng shui, and now he is short of manpower, so he asked Huang He Qiangshun to help him, and if he does a good job in the future, it will be no worse than those who graduated from college!
Grandma's words, ten out of ten are in the hands of my father, Chen Hui didn't open any dojo in the south at all, but grandma said that there is no way, who let my grandfather leave the ancestral teachings back then, my grandfather's ancestral teachings are, but whenever someone finds our family with a token, the descendants of our family need to unconditionally do their best to help others.
Our ancestors have been trustworthy people for generations, people do not stand without trust, and when it comes to what my grandmother decides, my parents can't change anything even if they oppose it, plus my attitude is quite resolute, just don't go to school, my parents can't help it, so they agreed. Qiangshun's parents have a similar attitude to my parents, and the two of them are also obedient to my grandmother.
This matter was so decided, Chen Daochang was still in a hurry, and after dinner, he urged me and Qiang Shun to pack up and go on the road, grandma stopped Chen Daochang at this time and called me into the back room where she slept alone.
Grandma said to me: "Huanghe, our grandmother has passed on all these crafts to you, but well, our family's 'Fa' has not been passed on to you, you are about to leave, and grandma should also pass on the 'Fa' to you." ”
So saying, my grandmother walked to a wooden box at the head of the bed, opened the box, took out a piece of yellow paper and incense from it, turned to me and said, "Stretch out your right hand." ”
I honestly handed my right palm up to my grandmother, who placed the yellow paper flat in my palm, and the size of the yellow paper was exactly the same size as my palm, as if the yellow paper was specially made for my palm.
Grandma struck the match, lit the incense in her hand first, burned four fragrant eyes on the four corners of the yellow paper with incense, and then scalded three fragrant eyes in the middle of the yellow paper, and the three fragrant eyes in the middle formed a "product" shape, and then lit the four corners of the yellow paper with a match.
The yellow paper was in my hand at this time, and it burned directly to my hand when it was lit, and it was so hot that I wanted to retract my hand, but my grandmother grabbed my wrist and told me to endure the burn.
The yellow paper burned quickly, and it burned on my hands in a while, and it was a little hot, but I could still bear it. Grandma blew softly on the paper ashes, and then whispered to herself.
I won't write what grandma is talking about, this is the mantra that the previous generation of our family passed on to the next generation, without this mantra, even if we learn these things in our family, we can't exert much ability.
After grandma finished reading the mantra, she raised her hand and patted it lightly in my palm, and the paper ash in my palm was suddenly broken, I didn't feel anything, grandma raised her head at this time and glanced at my eyebrows, and said softly "Huh" in her mouth.
Grandma rarely had such a surprised behavior, I quickly asked my grandma what was wrong, and grandma said calmly: "Don't ask so much, you will know in the future." ”
When I left home that night, my parents didn't come out to see us off, and my grandmother didn't show up, maybe I didn't want to face parting, only my younger brother Liu Huangshan stood at the door of the house, and he saw us far away.
After leaving home, I thought that Chen Daochang was going to take us to the thermal power plant to take the second bus, but who knows, they took us all the way to the south.
Three days later, we actually walked to the Yellow River, on the way, we hardly said a few words, don't look at this Chen Dao is old, his temper is as stubborn as when he was young, he just keeps walking, as if he is in a hurry to reincarnate. However, I also asked him while I was eating and resting, what is the matter and what do you want us to help you? Chen Daochang looked at me expressionlessly, and replied to me very simply, evil things.
What the hell is evil, I just don't say it, I say that I will understand it when I go to the place.
After crossing the Yellow River, and walking in the southeast direction, all the country roads were taken, and I walked for five or six days in one breath, at this time, I and Qiang Shun couldn't parry, not to mention the blisters on the soles of the feet, and the legs were swollen, and it seemed that the heavy rain was drenched during the period.
I don't know how many days we went, but we finally stopped at a place that seemed to be a town, and I really didn't pay attention to the name of that town at the time, it was not prosperous, and it was not backward.
Chen Daochang led the two of us around the town to a family's house.
I remember that the family was not bad, the main house was a two-story building, and there was an east house, and the yard was full of flowers and plants, making it look like a paradise.
After arriving at their house, I don't remember the details clearly, but I remember that there were two people in their family at that time, an old man in his seventies, and a middle-aged woman in his forties.
The old man and the woman were dressed very decently, and the whole person was not a person who worked every day, and after they said a few words to Chen Daochang, the woman turned around and walked into a room, and after a while, a middle-aged man was helped out of the room, looking estimated to be in his early forties.
Chen Daochang pointed at the middle-aged man at this time, turned his head and said to me: "Huang He, go and show him what kind of evil disease he has." ”
I glanced at Daoist Chen, and I felt very uncertain, feeling that this bull-nosed old Taoist priest seemed to be testing how capable I was. But to be honest, I was always following my grandmother's ass to show people evil things, and it was my grandmother who showed them to others, and I never did it.
At this time, not only did I have no bottom, but the seventy-year-old man next to me didn't seem to have a bottom, I was only fifteen years old at the time, and my body was not yet fully developed.
However, I still mustered up the courage to walk towards the man, using the techniques that my grandmother taught me, first pinched the man's middle finger, this is to pinch the end of the middle finger on both sides, to see if there is a beating on both sides of the middle finger, if there is, and the beating is strong, this means that the man has a problem, it is likely to hit something.
Pinched, it's normal, I went to turn the man's eyelids again, and the eyelids turned this one, to see the whites of the eyes on the beads, to see if there is a dark red bloodshot like an earthworm on the whites of the eyes, this is different from the bloodshot that stays up all night, if there is, this bloodshot will run through the entire eyeball from left to right.
The man was quite honest at this time, supporting the middle-aged woman, standing there motionless. I showed him the beads in his eyes, and I didn't see anything wrong.
I took two steps back behind me to look at the man's complexion, the man's complexion was very poor, Yintang was a little dark, it can be seen that the man's recent fortune is very low, it should be what is not going well and small disasters are continuous, however, it is people who are three disasters and six prosperous, especially the fortune, mainly depends on their own mentality and the luck of their birthday.
Fortune this, our family these crafts are not able to get it, and even if the external force intervenes, it can only last for a while, not for a lifetime, and to change the fortune is to pay the same price, there must be a gain and a loss.
I turned around and shook my head at Chen Daochang behind me and said, "He either hit an evil spirit, or he has been lucky lately, and sometimes he may be able to see something unclean." ”
When Daochang Chen heard me say this, his face suddenly darkened, and he seemed to be disappointed and helpless, and then he said to the woman who was holding the man, "Take off his clothes and show this little brother again." ”
At this time, although it was summer, the man was wearing a thick coat, and the woman looked at Chen Daochang, and then at me, she also looked helpless, as if she had lost confidence in Chen Daochang, and was even more optimistic about me, a little hairy child, but she didn't say anything, and took off her coat for the man.
When the woman was taking off the man's coat, I noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the man's right arm, and I felt that it might be a crippled arm, because when he took off his clothes, his left arm could match the woman, and his right arm was hanging and didn't even move, and it seemed to be very stiff.
When the woman took off the man's clothes, I looked at the man's right arm and gasped.
