When I was fifteen years old, my grandparents died of illness.

The tomb is next to the tomb of the old Taoist priest.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

When I got the admission letter after the college entrance examination, my father took me to the grave of my grandparents.

In front of the graves of his grandparents, Dad lit three sticks of incense and knelt down to talk to his grandparents' tombstones for a long time. After a while, Dad slowly stood up and walked towards Shigong's grave.

"Master, Baozi has brought Xiaofan to see you." Dad lit three sticks of incense in front of Shigong's grave, and sat down slowly with his hand touching the tombstone. Take out a bottle of wine from a plastic bag, a roast duck. Opened the cap of the bottle and poured the wine in front of the tombstone, the rich smell of wine emanated in the air: "Baozi knows that you love to eat roast duck and drink wine, I brought it to you today, you eat slowly." ”

"Son, come and kowtow to your master." Dad turned to me and said. I knelt in front of the tombstone and respectfully kowtowed to my master three times. Since I was a child, I have listened to my grandfather tell my father the story of my grandfather, and I respect and worship him from the bottom of my heart. I worship him because in my heart, my master is very powerful, like a fairy. I respect him because my master saved my family's life.

Dad looked at the tombstone, his eyes full of memories, as if my father was standing in front of my father.

Dad knelt down, kowtowed to his master a few times, looked at the tombstone and said, "Master, I have passed on the skills you passed on to me, and I have passed them on to Xiaofan." Hoko is also older now and has been through a lot of things. I'm not the stupid boy I used to be! Master! You can rest assured! Don't worry about me being bullied and losing my work! Baozi has now opened an antique shop, but I have never forgotten your last wish, I have always used the skills you taught me to help people exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil, and Baozi has also helped a lot of people since your death! Although Baozi's brain has been spinning unhappily since he was a child, but, Master, Baozi has not embarrassed you! I will definitely carry forward our family's Taoism! Master, if you have time, give Baozi a dream, Baozi misses you! At this point, Dad was already on his knees and crying.

When I saw my dad crying, I began to feel uncomfortable.

Dad is a very sweet person, I watched cartoons with me when I was a kid and laughed with me.

When it snows, accompany me to have a snowball fight outside the house, and my whole body is **. Go back and scold my mom with me.

In my memory, my dad was smiling every day, never being fierce to me, and never being unhappy.

It's just that every year on the day of my father's death, my father will take me to my father's grave. And crying like a child in front of the tombstone.

Because of the yin and yang eyes, I have been able to see ghosts since I was a child. But I'm not afraid, because ordinary ghosts are just like people, they just walk without touching the ground and have a whiter skin.

The first time I saw a ghost with a missing arm and a broken leg, and the flesh was blurred, I was scared, and I hid behind my father and hugged him tightly.

Seeing my scared look, Dad squatted down and touched my head: "Xiaofan, remember, ghosts are not scary, the most terrible thing is not ghosts, but people's hearts." "I couldn't understand when my dad said this, and I could only clearly remember my dad's vicissitudes of life.

"Dad, what is the human heart? What do you mean by that? ”

"Xiaofan, when you grow up, you will understand."

Because I started learning the Tao since I was a child, by the age of sixteen, I had already learned almost everything that had been passed down from my master. Although I can't say that I am proficient, I have at least learned a rough idea.

The day before my sixteenth birthday, my dad was coming home from his busy work, and his face was ugly.

After dinner, my father called me to his room, looked at me seriously and said: "Xiaofan, those who learn the Tao should shoulder the responsibility of learning the Tao, although we learn the Tao to help people exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, but!" Some people are not allowed to help, and they can't give money! ”

Dad has never been so strict with me, I was very wronged at that time, I didn't do anything, I obediently studied the Taoism taught to me by my father every day and at night, can this not be wronged?

After my dad finished speaking, he told me to go back to my room to sleep, and when I turned to leave, I only heard my dad whispering there: "In today's world, why are people's hearts so cold?" ”

Later, I found out that my father went out to help people exorcise evil spirits. The person who invited my dad was the president of the company, surnamed Chen, who said that his house was haunted and asked my dad to take a look.

When my dad heard it, he was a fat man, and he estimated that he could make a lot of money. (At that time, my family had not yet opened an antique shop, and my father only made money by helping people exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts.) ）

The next afternoon, my dad packed his bags and left.

When I arrived at President Chen's house, I saw that he was indeed a rich man, living in a villa, and a hall was bigger than ours.

The surnamed Chen saw my dad coming, and hurriedly welcomed my dad in: "Daoist Qi, you are finally here, there was a fuss again last night, please hurry up and help take a look!" ”

When my dad saw the surname Chen like this, he was probably haunted. (The richer and more powerful people are, the more superstitious they are, and they often cup the bow and snake shadow, but in fact, they just think too much)

"Mr. Chen, what's going on with this haunting in your house? Is there one? The feng shui of your house doesn't look like a haunted haunted house. My dad asked as he walked around the house with a compass.

When the surname Chen heard this, he said hesitantly: "I don't know about this, Dao Chief, you can see it at night." ”

But after a while, after dinner, the family surnamed Chen all went back to the room and didn't dare to come out. My dad sat in the living room and waited for the thing to come.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the lights in the living room began to flicker and flicker. My dad took a look. Said disdainfully: "Pediatrics, what about scaring children?" Suddenly, two hands reached behind my father's back, and a female voice said fiercely, "Why! Why! Why! As soon as my dad heard this voice, he immediately jumped up: "I'll wipe it!" Don't play cards according to common sense! Do it without saying hello? Don't take you like this! When I turned my head, it was a female ghost, looking like an ordinary person, wearing a pale yellow floral dress.

The female ghost saw that my dad was moving so fast, and suddenly she didn't make any other moves, just looked at my dad.

My dad was about to make a move, and when he saw the female ghost's eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

What kind of eyes are these? There are no other emotions, only pain, regret, hatred, and despair.

"Are you a Taoist priest?" The female ghost asked my dad faintly.

When my dad heard it, this is the legendary salute before the soldier?

"I am a Taoist priest, why do you want to wander in the Chen family, people are humane, and ghosts have ghost paths. Seeing that you don't look like a demon, you better leave quickly, otherwise the poor road will definitely beat you to pieces! "When my dad saw that this female ghost was soft and didn't move, he immediately became angry.

"I don't want to hurt other people, I'm just here to seek revenge on Chen Liang, are you willing to listen to me tell a story?" When my dad heard this, he nodded, thinking, "Isn't Chen Liang the son of Mr. Chen, what is the situation?" ”

The female ghost told her story as if talking to herself, the female ghost's name is Lin Lin, she is a student at a university in Guizhou, and she has a major with Chen Liang.

Lin Lin was originally a child of an ordinary family, and she belonged to the type of three-good student since she was a child, and she had never been in love before college.

In less than two months, Chen Liang got tired of playing and planned to dump Lin Lin. But Lin Lin didn't want to give up on him, she fell in love with Chen Liang. Chen Liang was annoyed by being entangled and kept avoiding her.

Later, she went directly to Chen Liang's house to find him. It happened that Chen Liang drank too much that day, and when he saw that she was still pestering him, he had a big quarrel with Lin Lin, and he was so angry that he strangled Lin Lin to death. Lin Lin's parents were ordinary citizens, and when they knew that their daughter was dead, they collapsed all of a sudden. Because Chen Liang's family has money, he plans to give some money.

But Lin Lin's parents disagreed and insisted on going to court to let Chen Liang go to prison, it is impossible for the surname Chen to watch his son being put in prison, right? So I found a relationship and suppressed the case.

After hearing this story, my dad clenched his fists tightly, knocked them on his thighs one by one, and kept saying, "This brute! This brute! ”

"Daoist, are you still going to stop me?" Lin Lin looked at my dad and said.

"I don't care about that. This kind of brute is innocent of death! As soon as the words fell, my dad turned around and left. The surnamed Chen saw my dad walking out of the gate from the window, and hurriedly shouted: "Dao Chief, help!" Help me! I can give money! You can take as much as you want! ”

My dad didn't look back, he kept walking out the door.

The next day, the newspaper headline "Three members of the Chen family died tragically at home in the Blue Sky Villa District", when my father saw the news. Silent for a long time.

Thinking of this, my dad had already walked over from the tombstone, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go, go back, be hungry." ”

"Dad, it's a shame for you to cry!"

"Rub, dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will beat you!"
