Grandpa's words puzzled me, and just opened my mouth to ask, but grandpa suddenly shouted: "Little rabbit, what's that woman's name?" By the way, Xiaofeng, did she kiss you on the shoulder? ”

A word to wake up the person in the dream, my grandfather's words reminded me of the folk song he used to tell me, "Mortals have yang lamps on their shoulders, yang lamps protect the body and ghosts are difficult to invade, the lights are easy to turn around in the middle of the night, and it is difficult to find the yang lights once they are extinguished."

Cold sweat poured out of my forehead, and I said to my grandfather in disbelief: "Grandpa, is it possible that if a man kisses a woman on the shoulder, the sun light will go out?" ”

Grandpa shook his head, and suddenly scolded angrily: "Little rabbit, what kind of brain do you have? If that's the case, would grandpa still dare to touch a woman in his life? How could I give birth to your father, let alone you! ”

In such a weird and gloomy atmosphere, I was actually amused by my grandfather's words. Grandpa quickly stretched out his index finger and pressed it to his lips and pouted, signaling me to be quieter and not to alarm the others.

I couldn't hold back my laughter, and suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, did you say that if you cover your shoulders with cinnabar, you will extinguish the yang lantern?" ”

Grandpa looked straight at me, and suddenly gave me a thumbs up and said, "Little rabbit, you seem to be really smarter than Grandpa when he was young!" Grandpa told you that cinnabar can ward off evil spirits, but you haven't heard grandpa say that cinnabar can isolate the qi of yin and yang, and if you wipe it on your shoulder, you can temporarily cover the yang lamp, which is no different from the yang lamp going out, and the ghost will have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

I gasped and asked my grandfather anxiously, "Grandpa, since that Xiaofeng is not a ghost, why did she do this?" ”

"Did she not know that cinnabar could suppress the yang lamp, and she made this mistake without knowing it?" I was looking for a reason in my heart to excuse Xiaofeng, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, what woman would use cinnabar instead of lipstick?

Xiao Feng clearly did it on purpose, and really wanted to use color to lure out my yang lantern. But Grandpa didn't understand Xiaofeng's purpose for doing this, he looked at my worried look, suddenly reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said with a weird smile: "Ling Sen, you don't have to be afraid. If the two lights on the shoulders of ordinary people are all extinguished, they will basically not survive the fifth watch. ”

I was even more surprised, and asked in surprise: "Grandpa, you mean that I am not an ordinary person?" I can't still be a blessing in disguise, right? ”

Of course, I made fun of myself with this, because Xiaofeng did kiss me on the shoulder with a cinnabar-smeared lip, I am lucky not to die, how can I still be blessed by misfortune?

But Grandpa smiled and said, "You're right! You have been practicing the spells that have been passed down from generation to generation by our Ling family since you were a child, and you have a little foundation. What's more, didn't you just say that you are still the descendant of the Zhenling Master designated by the ancestors of the Ling family, so you must not be an ordinary person! ”

Grandpa told me that for cultivators, the Yin Hall will be filled with a powerful yang energy. If the yang energy is strong enough to a certain extent, it is enough to rush through the chimney door and open the yin and yang eyes and psychic ears.

The chimney door is the small piece of land covered by the heavenly spirit on the head. A normal adult feels like a complete skull to the touch, very hard and smooth, and nothing special.

If someone's heavenly spirit covers the door of the chimney, then that person is either unlucky, or has the ability to see those unclean things that are not normally visible to mortals.

Do you know why babies cry and laugh when they are born? Grandpa said that when the baby was born, the chimney door above his head was completely open, so it felt very soft to the touch.

Therefore, as soon as the baby is born, he or she can see the ghosts that surround him or her. As for why these ghosts surround him, Grandpa said that it is because the newborn baby is reincarnated by the ghost approved by King Yama, and many wandering spirits and wild ghosts cannot be reincarnated, and they envy the lucky ones who can be reincarnated, and always surround the newborn baby, delusionally hoping to replace it.

These wandering spirits and wild ghosts are looking forward to the death of the newborn so that they can get this chance to be reincarnated, so they will do their best to use various ways to make the baby laugh or make the baby cry, which is why the newborn baby has just been born, and he will cry and laugh for a while.

After two or three months, the chimney on top of the newborn's head gradually closes, and the skull becomes harder and harder. After the chimney door is completely closed, the newborn loses its psychic ability, can no longer see the lonely ghost, and grows into a normal mortal.

If a newborn baby, due to stunted growth or other unknown reasons, grows up and the chimney door is not completely closed, then he can still meet ghosts from time to time, and it is said that most of the people in the countryside who are engaged in the profession of fairy mothers are because the chimney door is not completely closed.

But what does all this have to do with me? Grandpa didn't say any more. I was stunned for a while before I came to my senses: "Grandpa, did Xiaofeng cover my shoulders with cinnabar, and the yang light was not really extinguished, but temporarily suppressed, and as a result, the two yang qi on my shoulders converged with the yang qi in my Yin Hall and broke through the chimney door?" ”

Grandpa groaned for a while, scratched his head and said, "You finally understand, it should be this principle." ”

However, I could tell from my grandfather's expression that he didn't actually understand it, but I came up with this truth, and he just followed my words and pretended to be smart.

No matter how I say that he is also my grandfather, although I can see that he is pretending, I can't find out about it. I rolled my eyes and said, "Grandpa, what kind of blessing is that?" Didn't I tell you, because of the corpse water in my eyes, I have already opened the yin and yang eyes, this chimney door can't be opened, you can see ghosts, nothing remarkable. ”

Grandpa shook me again, and said with a straight face: "Boy, you know a fart." Grandpa said that when this chimney door is opened, it can not only open the yin and yang eyes, but also open the spiritual ears. Although Grandpa didn't have this opportunity, Grandpa thought about it, maybe as long as you concentrate in the future, or encounter some specific environment, maybe you can hear the ghost talking! ”

Listening to ghosts? What kind of business is this? Doesn't that make it clear that I'm going to hear nonsense all the time in the future? You know, in our area, a lie is a lie.

However, I also understood what Grandpa meant, and he was naturally not referring to a lie, but the voice of a ghost. This piqued my curiosity, and I couldn't help but want to hear if there were any ghosts talking around me.

But I listened with bated breath for a while, but I didn't hear anything other than my grandfather babbling.

"Oh no, it's time......" Grandpa suddenly exclaimed, and before he could finish speaking, he quickly got into the cabinet and never saw him again.

I paused for a moment, and suddenly understood that this ghost and god are on the body, and grandpa said that there is a time limit. It must be that grandpa's time has come, and he can no longer attach himself to Liu Degui, so he hurriedly followed the secret path and sent Liu Degui's body back to the west wing, otherwise staying in my room would bring me trouble.
