Look at the review editor of the grinding iron, this chapter is for anti-piracy, don't pass it first, I'll revise the text in an hour. If you pass it, I won't be able to come out as soon as I revise the text. By the way, just ignore it if you don't give it, don't "dismiss", you should fine me again, thank you.

There seem to be a lot of new faces today, thank you to the friends who watched the pirated version before to come and sharpen the iron to support the genuine. In fact, I didn't do this to prevent piracy, but those who watched piracy and scolded me forced me onto this road. I'd rather the road of this book get narrower and narrower than for others to scold me with the biggest pain in our family.

Today, my patience has reached the limit, those who read pirated copies, looked at my books, scolded me, the chapters of the first two days were written by me crying, and there are still people scolding on pirated websites, do you still have a conscience, just watch pirated copies, and sprinkle salt on my wounds, scold me for my brother's affairs, scold me, and scold, there are other people who read pirated copies and give them praise, are you still not human? Do you want to try to scold me if I will be retributed, I can tell you clearly, there will be no retribution, even if you are retributed, don't pull it on me, it has nothing to do with me, you can scold as much as you want, but scold hard, anyway, from now on, you can only read the "first chapter" every day.

Besides, some people who pay to read this book on other websites, don't think that what you spend money to read is the genuine version, and I haven't seen a penny of the money you spent.

You can all see clearly, in addition to the genuine readers of "Grinding Iron Chinese Network", readers who read books on other paid websites, like piracy, will all be regarded as "pirated readers" by me, and the group will be rejected or kicked, and the WeChat that adds me will also be ignored or blocked.

Anyway, it's all about spending money, why not come to grind iron to support the genuine version, Baidu search "grinding iron Chinese network", and then search for "the last ghost hunter" or "traveler on the way" in the website. Like "grinding iron", I've said it countless times, and I've said it very clearly and clearly, don't say you don't know what "grinding iron" is.

Chapter 1: Family Calendar

Ancestral ghost hunters, tell me about the real experience of my ancestors and me.

Hello friends, my name is Liu Huanghe, a little behind in the 70s, my ancestral home is by the Yellow River, and the skills of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts handed down by my ancestors have been passed down to me for five generations.

If we want to talk about these things, I think we have to start from the beginning, starting with how our family eats this bowl of rice.

Let's push the time forward to my great-grandfather's generation, my great-grandfather, that is, my grandfather's grandfather. Our family started this business from my great-grandfather's generation. These are all what I heard my grandmother say when I was a child, and I will sort it out here, and what I will talk about below, you can not believe it, or you can read it as a story.

My great-grandfather's name was Liu Yi, and when he was fifteen years old, he worked as a captain at the Yellow River ferry in Yanjin County.

At that time, the Yellow River was large, and there was no bridge on the river, so the merchants and freight logistics all relied on boats to ferry, and my great-grandfather supported a ponto boat of his own, mainly used to ferry people, and sometimes in order to earn a few more copper plates, he would also help people consign a small amount of goods.

In 1847, that is, the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, Ding Wei year, my great-grandfather was twenty years old.

At noon on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, when the weather was very hot and there were just no guests, my great-grandfather parked his boat in a slow water area near the ferry, took out the fire that his mother had made for him in the morning, and gnawed on the fire with cold water, which was considered lunch.

Halfway through the fire, a little old man in his fifties suddenly came to the shore, and the old man shouted to the river: "Blessed Gong! Fu Gong! ”

Who is the old man shouting? In the shouting of the ship's captain, as we all know, there are many taboos on the boat, our people here are used to shouting the boat "Fu Gong", "Fu" homonym "floating", the meaning of floating, the guest shouts the "Fu Gong" of the boat, it is considered to be an auspicious picture for himself, it is also regarded as an honorific title for the captain, the guest sits on the boat is like a blessing to the lucky star, and will not make trouble on the water to hand over bad luck.

But in the Yellow River ferrying is not only my great-grandfather, there are a lot of people on both sides of the river like my great-grandfather who make a living by ferrying, next to my great-grandfather's boat, there are five or six boats, these boats see that there is business, a head towards the old man rowed over, my grandfather saw this and hurriedly ate the fire in two bites, and supported the boat over, but my great-grandfather's movements were a little slower, and he was preempted by several other boats, and my great-grandfather saw that he couldn't catch this business, and he wanted to turn the boat around and row back in disappointment.

But before he could turn the bow of the boat, he saw that the boats that had passed first had left one after another, as if they had seen ghosts, and each one left faster than the other.

When the great grandfather saw it, he wondered in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, he felt that he still had hope, and when he came to the spirit, the boat didn't turn around, and rowed to the old man in one breath.

At this time, the other boats had already run away, and one of them had a good relationship with my great-grandfather, and he waved at my great-grandfather, which means, don't go over.

Grandpa Gao's heart sank for a while, he glanced at the old man on the shore, and felt nothing, the old man was not a monster or a ghost, but everyone else avoided him, why did he want to hit it up, turned around and wanted to row the boat back, but the old man spoke to my great-grandfather at this time.

The old man's eyes were red, and he was crying, and said: "This blessed master, this blessed master, help me, I beg you, help me......"

Hearing the old man say this, my great-grandfather was reluctant to leave, so he asked the old man, "Daya, do you want to cross the river?" (Daya, is the dialect we have here, which is the meaning of uncle.) ）

The old man still cried and said: "Cross the river, cross the river with my children......" (a group, that is, together, together. The old man meant to cross the river with his son. ）

When the great grandfather heard this, he glanced at the riverbank, and said in his heart, there is no one else on the riverbank except the old man, what about his son?

So he asked the old man, "Daye, your child, why are you alone?" ”

When my great-grandfather's voice fell, the old man was stunned, and after a while, he cried, crying and saying: "My son is dead, I cut off the head of the old man of Futai, I am here to collect his body and pinch it, I want to take the child back to my hometown......"

In 1847, that is, the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, internal and external troubles, Tsarist Russia was eyeing the tiger, the British emperor forcibly rented and occupied, the whole country was in trouble, and the people were struggling to make a living.

At present, the son of this old man, who is suspected of being a member of the Bangbang Society, was sentenced to be beheaded after the trial of the three halls of Weihui Mansion.

Of course, my great-grandfather was just an inconspicuous captain in the Yellow River at that time, and he didn't know a single big character, and he didn't know what a "bangbanghui" was, so he knew that the old man's son had beheaded the old man of Futai, and he died quite unjustly.

My great-grandfather saw the old man crying sadly, who could not be sad when he lost his son when he was old, his heart relented, and he promised to send their father and son across the river. However, as soon as I agreed, something happened to me.

When the old man saw that his great-grandfather had promised to thank him, he said that his son's body had been placed in Xiaomaozhuang, five miles away, and begged my great-grandfather to wait for him on the shore for an hour, and then he would go back to find someone to carry his son's body.

My great-grandfather agreed.

However, my great-grandfather was too sincere, so he stopped taking other people's business because he had made a promise with the old man, so he parked the boat on the shore and waited stupidly.

waited from noon until it was dark, and did not take a single trip during the period.

Seeing that the work was almost over, my great-grandfather felt that the old man might not be able to come today, and was about to finish the work by the bed, but at this time, the old man led a few people and carried a large coffin, which was late.

Grandfather looked at the coffin, and his heart suddenly chuckled, he originally thought that the body of the old man's son was wrapped in a straw mat, but he didn't expect it to be in the coffin.

My great-grandfather frowned, in our place, putting a coffin on the boat is a taboo to run the river, touching the moldy head of the dragon prince, the dragon lord is under the water, he doesn't like to press the coffin on the top of his head, he will definitely be angry and lift the coffin into the water, especially like this coffin that buries the dead, it is even more terrible, we call it a solid coffin here, a "real core" thing, it is a "sinking" in the river, plus it is late at this time, and it is very dangerous to run a boat on the river at night.

When the old man came to the boat with a few people, my great-grandfather wanted to break the business with him.

Seeing this, the old man knelt down for my great-grandfather with a "poof", and begged my great-grandfather with a handful of snot and tears, and the old man said, it was too hot, and his son's body had already been released, and if he didn't send it home and bury it early, it would rot on the road.

The older generation of people, all pay attention to the personal death of the leaves to return to the roots, no matter where in life, after death must be buried back to the hometown, this is called the soul to return to the hometown, if the body rots on the road, then the soul of the person will be lonely and ghostly, not to mention that he will not be able to return home, and will always wander in a foreign land.

When my great-grandfather saw an old man who was older than his father, he knelt down and begged for himself, but he couldn't bear it, and finally gritted his teeth and said to the old man: "Zhong, I will send you two back today!" ”

Hand in hand, here can be understood as "by the way", hand in hand to send back, the great grandfather said easily, this is a big taboo. These things in the Yellow River have not been clear to anyone since ancient times, especially these Fugong who rely on the Yellow River to make a living, and everyone has great awe for this mother river. Great-grandfather was able to do this, and there was a psychological struggle at that time.

Grandfather Gao first asked the old man and his people to carry the coffin onto the boat, but he didn't hurry to let the old man and them get on the boat, explained a few words to the old man, rowed the boat to the deep water, looked left and right The water surface was quite spacious, turned around and took out the three tributes, incense, and incense burners from the cabin.

The three animal tributes, that is, the sacrifices, and the three animals, that is, the pigs, cattle and sheep, are sacrificed to the heads of pigs, cattle and sheep. Of course, they can't be so generous, they don't have the money to make these hard goods to sacrifice to the river, and replace them with steamed buns, the pig's head is to draw two pig's ears and a pig's nose with chicken blood on the steamed bun, the cow's head is to draw two crescent-shaped horns, and the sheep's head is to draw two spiral-shaped curved horns.

Three tributes are the necessities of our ships here in the past, no matter how big or small ships are on every boat, some large merchant ships even carry live three animals, just in case, in case of wind and waves on the river, the three tributes are thrown into the river, and the steward of the boat kneels on the bow of the boat and bows three times and knocks, asking the dragon lord to be gracious, whether it works or not, then I don't know.

Chapter 2: The Dragon King Commands Troops

At this time, the great-grandfather put the incense burner and the three tributes on the bow of the boat, lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner, and then knelt on the bow of the boat and kowtowed respectfully to the river for six times.

Why do you have to kowtow six times? We have a proverb here called "three gods, four ghosts, four dragons and six heads", that is to say, to go to the temple to incense to kowtow to the gods to kowtow to the gods, to kowtow to the ancestors to kowtow to the ghosts to kowtow four, on the Yellow River to worship the dragon king, you have to kowtow six.

How did this proverb come about, I still haven't figured it out, anyway, all of us here do this, ask them why they kowtow to the dragon lord six heads, no one can say clearly, the old people say that this is passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors, kowtow six heads must have their reason, children and grandchildren don't ask so much, just do it.

After the great grandfather kowtowed, he respectfully held the three animal tributes in his hand, and sang a song to the river face, also called singing the river, generally singing like this: "The dragon king, the river god, the water hits the east and west, the boat hits the north and south, sends pigs, cattle and sheep, the wind and waves worship the dragon king, worship the river god, worship the dragon king......"

This river, I listened to my grandmother sing a few times when I was a child, and I can't remember the specific words, just like the above, my grandmother said that my great-grandfather sang the river song very well, with a big voice and a round voice. But to be honest, when I listened to my grandmother's singing, I didn't think that "the words are right and round", I felt a little yin and yang, just like the "sharpening scissors and kitchen knife", just like this tune.
