Chapter 5: Father

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. My father grew up and got married, and I was born.

Thinking back on that night, what else could my grandfather say? There is no way, just apprentice, at least the child can grow up safely in the future. According to my grandfather, my expression at that time was all kinds of gratitude, in fact, I thought in my heart that I had dug up Ye Laodao's ancestral grave.

When my father was a child, he began to practice with Ye Laodao at the age of four, learning to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. The old Taoist priest is indeed a capable person, and the "mountain doctor's fate is divined" is all fine. (Mountain doctors' fate is divined, collectively referred to as the five arts.) Mountain: Achieve health preservation and longevity through canons, charms, meditation, martial arts, etc. Medicine: Treating diseases through prescriptions, acupuncture, and spiritual healing. Life: Through the eight-character push, Xingping Huihai, Ziwei Doushu, etc., to know the numerology of the heavenly machine. Physiognomy: Physiognomy, tomb physiognomy, etc., many of them in Feng Shui belong to physiognomy, a kind of magic through observation. Divination: A method of inferring the evolution of things through three methods: divination, auspiciousness, and forecasting. My grandfather once asked the old Taoist priest about his origins, and the old Taoist priest kept silent every time.

Speaking of my father's experience of learning the Tao, it is simply a history of blood and tears.

Since I was a child, I spent every day in memorizing formulas, memorizing, and practicing calligraphy and drawing. And the most hateful thing is that my dad doesn't have yin and yang eyes, and the old Taoist priest often tricks my dad into going to some cemeteries, in the jungle on the mountain, no one has lived in a dead house for many years. In my dad's words: "You and I are the ones who are really scared!" ”

When he was ten years old. One day, the weather was very good, just after dinner, the old Taoist priest quietly called my dad over: "Xiaobao, you are the most proud apprentice of the teacher, I forgot to send you the red envelope I gave you during the New Year, you go to the mass grave under Jackal Bay, there is a pine tree, I put it under the tree, in order to exercise your courage, I put it there, you think about whether to go or not." After saying that, he smiled lewdly, ah no, he looked at my dad with a fairy face.

My dad didn't have anything wrong with him since he was a child, he was a fan of money, and he couldn't move when he saw money, and when he heard the old Taoist priest say this, he stood up excitedly without saying a word: "Master! Don't say anything! I know you're doing it for my good! I'll get it in the evening! ”

Then that night, I saw my dad running back with tears streaming down his face, and when the old Taoist priest saw that my dad had returned, his eyes were closed, and his snoring was loud. My dad didn't fall asleep that night, and kept muttering: "Am I going to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, or do I want to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors." "When the old Taoist priest heard my father say this, he didn't dare to sleep all night.

This was how it happened that night

My dad was eating brown sugar and singing, swaying towards Jackal Bay, and people passing by on the road heard my dad muttering and singing: "I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team was just opened, and there were only a dozen people with seven or eight guns" After a while, they arrived at the mass grave. My dad glanced at the mass grave, and suddenly, he was so frightened that he almost threw out his pee.

Today, are these things coming out collectively for the annual meeting? I'll rub, say less fifty or sixty. Those who are missing arms and legs, those who hold their heads in their hands, those who have seven or eight knives stuck in their stomachs, there is nothing you can't see, only what you can't think of. When my father saw this, he calmly buried his head in his grandson: "I can't see them, I can't see them." The ghosts around saw a person coming up from the mass grave in the middle of the night, and they were very curious and gathered around, and talked around my father: "Ouch, I'll rub it, this is a living person!" I rub I rub! Come out, brethren! Come out and see the living! ”

When my dad heard this ghost say such a thing, he wanted to pick up a brick and slap him in the face, but when he looked around, it seemed that he had a lot of brothers, and it was only seventy or eighty. By the way, I used elementary school math to calculate the winning rate, and I felt that it was better to pretend to be grandson insurance. (Qi Bao: It's not me pretending to be a grandson!) That's when I saw that they were all dead, and I couldn't bear to shoot them! My dad calmly turned to the ghosts and said, "Haven't seen anyone alive? I'm going to let you see it now, so you're all fellow villagers. ”

When those ghosts heard my dad say this, their faces flushed with excitement! Even the ghosts whose faces had been white for decades blushed, and everyone knew how excited those ghosts were at that time. "Oh, little brother, you can see us! What are you doing here at night! ”

My dad proudly said to them, "Take the red envelope!" Rich! ”

After a while, my dad went to the pine tree, and when he looked, yo! There was really a cloth bag, and my dad glanced at the surrounding ghosts with disdain, a group of poor people, who had never seen the world, and followed me to see it as soon as they heard that I was coming to make a fortune.

My dad grabbed the cloth bag and shouted excitedly: "It's all good for Lao Tzu, what is the real red envelope!" ”

The ghosts around watched intently as my dad took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag, which read, "Red Envelope".

Suddenly. The ghosts around him were laughing so much that their bowels were about to burst out laughing. My dad was petrified.

Thereupon. The next day, there was a case of the disappearance of the kitchen knife at home, and it is still an unsolved case.

By the time my dad was eighteen years old, he was able to go out and find work on his own.

On a dark and windy night, the old Taoist priest quietly came to my father's room to find my father: "Good boy, do you know about the Daying Road Crematorium?" It's been haunted these days, and the people there have come to me to help them exorcise evil spirits, so help me go and see! The old Taoist priest looked at my dad with a sincere face and said.

My dad is not a fool, can he believe this kind of thing? Glancing at the old Taoist priest with disdain, he jumped into bed and prepared to sleep.

The old Taoist priest had long expected my dad to be like this, and smiled slightly: "Give money~~~~~ I don't want yo ~~~~"

When my father heard this, the tiger's body was shocked, and he immediately jumped up from the bed and flew over the head of the old Taoist priest.

The next day, my family went to the psychiatric hospital to pick up my father, and when they got home, they went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife to play free fighting with the old Taoist priest.

The situation of the day was like this

My dad was dressed in a Taoist robe and a peachwood sword behind his back, and quietly went out. When the old Taoist priest saw my father's equipment, he stopped talking. In fact, the old Taoist priest kept muttering: "You can't blame me for this." In vain. I didn't ask you to make it so formal. It's just practicing courage and playing, alas, it's also fateful. I hope that Master Zu will bless my apprentice from evil to good fortune. After saying that, he went back to his room to sleep with a satisfied face.

The crematorium was only half an hour away from my father's house, and it didn't take long to get to the door of the crematorium.

My dad looked at the security guard at the door and waved at him. Rubbing his fingers. He walked in with a smile on his face. From my dad's expression, you can see what he meant: "I helped you exorcise evil spirits, don't thank me, just remember to pay." ”

The security guard also smiled at my dad and called the mental hospital.

It was quite windy at night, and my dad's hair was relatively long, and as long as the wind blew, anyone could see an unconcealable charm from my dad. (This is how my dad described himself when he told me)

My dad just walked into the crematorium within two steps, and was pulling out his peachwood sword to prepare for the benefit of the common people. It seems to be a fat poor, and you can collect money without using your hands.

Just as he was turning around and preparing to go out, the sound of an ambulance sounded on the road.

My dad looked, what's going on?

A white van drove over, because it was dark at night, I couldn't see what words were on the car, and I could only vaguely see XX Hospital. My dad didn't think much of it, thinking that it was a client who came to pick him up and send him money by the way.

The car stopped in front of my dad all of a sudden, and two people wearing Taoist robes got down, and when my dad saw it, he muttered in his heart: "Can you still meet your peers?" It's not going to be for the money, is it? ”

When the two people in Taoist robes saw my father, they smiled very calmly and hugged their fists: "Daoyou! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! ”

When my dad saw it, he immediately felt that his face was enough, and waved his hand: "Two Taoist friends, are you taking me to get the money?" When the two people heard this, they nodded: "Yes, fellow Daoist, we'll take you there!" ”

My dad didn't think much of it when he heard them say this, and he clasped his fists at them and said, "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! ”

As soon as the two of them heard it, they got it, the task was completed, and they smiled at my father: "What's polite, fellow Daoist, please in the car!" "My dad got in the car without saying a word. After the car started, the glass on the back of the car was printed with Anning Hospital. (That is, a mental hospital at the time, everyone should know the rest of the story)

Ahem, that's what my dad experienced when he was young. Although the old Taoist priest did not fix my father, my father respected him from the bottom of his heart.

A teacher for one day and a father for life, this is reflected in my father and my father-in-law.
