I came to the mountain with a full of incomprehension, and along the way, Qi Yan was like a real son, chattering non-stop, and I don't know how many photos were stored in my mobile phone.

The mountain is not high, it only took half an hour along the way, to the top of the mountain, I suddenly felt a lot more open-minded, there is no all kinds of pollution exhaust in the city, the air is exceptionally fresh, it is definitely a good place for self-cultivation.

The Taoist temple is still so broken, last year I was going to pay some money to help the old Taoist repair it, but it was refused, according to the old Taoist words, the Taoist temple is too new and he lives uncomfortably.

In front of the Taoist temple is a vegetable field, at this time the cabbage and cauliflower are growing luxuriantly, and the old Taoist is sitting on a chair on the ground, lazily basking in the sun.

"Lao Dao, I've come to see you." Before I arrived, Lao Dao had already opened his eyes, and when he saw the wine I was carrying, he grabbed it directly, tore open the package, unscrewed it and poured it into his mouth.

"You kid don't know how to come up early, I just shot a hare at noon, it's a pity." Lao Dao muttered, I don't know if it's a pity for the wine or a pity for the rabbit.

Qi Yan followed me, curiously looking at the old Taoist who looked very sloppy, I don't know how many patches have been patched in a Taoist robe, my hair is like a chicken nest, and I don't know how long my face has not been washed.

"Is this your mother-in-law? Well, it's okay, there's Wangfu. Lao Dao had a comfortable expression on his face, took the time to glance at Qi Yan, and said painlessly.

"Okay?" Qi Yan's eyes widened, and his heart seemed to be holding back several artillery battles.

"Can a man strangle himself?" I ignored Qi Yan, who was about to reach full value, and asked straight to the old way.

"Yes." Lao Dao nodded affirmatively.

"How can a man strangle himself?" Maybe it's because it's not my family, or maybe it's because the old Tao just said that it's okay, Qi Yan asked directly.

Lao Dao shook his head, stopped speaking, and then closed his eyes directly, and Qi Yan, who saw it, squeezed his two fists together.

"The scenery on this mountain is good, you can walk around by yourself, and I'll call you when you can leave." I knew Lao Dao's plan when I saw his appearance, so I could only helplessly push Qi Yan away.

"Hmph, what's the big deal." Qi Yan snorted coldly and walked towards the other side angrily.

"You've been running into something unclean lately." After Qi Yan left, Lao Dao opened his eyes and stared at me with a fierce eye.

I was shocked when I heard the old words, if it was really that kind of thing, it should have been last night.

"Are there really ghosts in this world?" I asked with a deep breath.

"What do you think the hell is?" Lao Dao didn't answer, but asked me instead.

"Ghost..." I opened my mouth, but I found that I couldn't describe it concretely, if the ghost couldn't see or touch, then what did I see when I was a child? What did you touch last night?

Ghosts are illusory spirits? Or is it real?

"Buddhists say that ghosts have a thousand faces, and Taoists say that ghosts are people, so in this way, ghosts are both illusory and real." Lao Dao said slowly while drinking wine.

I didn't understand it at first, but now I'm even more confused, "What the hell is that ghost?" ”

"Don't be obsessed with what you see, sometimes eyes can deceive."

Do eyes deceive? So I was deceived by my eyes last night? But it's all so real.

"Okay, you kid, don't worry about what the ghost looks like, when you see it, you'll understand." Lao Dao couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at me with some magic obstacles.

"How can that man strangle himself?" Again, I ask about the main purpose of being here today.

"Speaking of this, I have to mention the five Taoist techniques and the four wonders of yin and yang." Lao Dao seemed to be suddenly interested, and he lectured at me seriously.

"The five Taoist techniques are divided into: mountain, medicine, life, phase, divination, this so-called mountain..."

"I'm short on time." Seeing that the old way was about to start a tirade, I had to interrupt.

"Hmph, young people don't even have such patience, okay, I'll just talk about it briefly." Lao Dao glared at me angrily, and then said: "The four wonders of yin and yang are: ghosts, Gu, corpses, puppets, this can be understood literally, the puppet is also called a puppet, after collecting a person's birth date, as well as essence blood, with essence blood as ink, write the birthday characters on the puppet made by the ghost acacia, and then put it next to that person for a period of time, after absorbing the person's breath, you can use secret techniques to control it, not to mention strangling yourself, even if you eat your own hands, it's no problem." ”

"It's easier to understand the eight characters of birth, but how to get this essence blood?" I couldn't help but ask myself questions.

"Essence blood is also called heart blood, and ten fingers are connected to the heart, how do you say to take it?" Lao Dao looked at me with a look of rotten wood that could not be carved.

"What about the Oni Huai?" I'm not ashamed to ask.

"The front of the house is yang, the back of the house is shaded, and the locust tree that grows behind the house is called the ghost locust."

With these clues, I suddenly knew in my heart and had the direction of investigation, but remembering the incident of last night, I still continued to ask, "How can I make a ghost look like a real person?" ”

"Ghosts are ghosts, no matter how different they are from people, but there is a way to make ghosts look like they are harmless." Lao Dao thought for a while and said.

"What's the solution?" I asked anxiously, and even I had a hunch in my heart that the Li Sisi I saw last night must be for this reason.

"Paper Man!"

"Paper man?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's to tie a paper man, let the ghost temporarily live on it, and then through the art of change, it looks no different from a real person, in the past, my Taoist real person folded a paper crane with his hand, and then rode on it, traveling all over the three mountains and five mountains."

I looked at Lao Dao's expression and thought to myself, "People are powerful, what does it have to do with you."

At this point, the purpose of my coming here is all accomplished, and just as I was about to say goodbye, I suddenly remembered what my grandfather asked me to relay.

"Before I came, my grandfather asked me to tell you that he promised you that thing back then."

Lao Dao was stunned after hearing this, then restrained the cynicism on his face, looked at me seriously and asked, "Did your grandfather really say that?" ”

"Yes." I nodded, a little confused as to what the two were talking about.

"Oh, that stubborn old man, I thought he wasn't going to agree until he died." Lao Dao shook his head, chuckled, and then looked at me and said, "Is the jade pendant that was given to you back then still there?" ”

"Yes." As I spoke, I took out the round jade pendant hanging around my neck, which I gave to me when I was seven years old and followed my grandfather up the mountain, and told me that I must wear it close to my body, and it is best not to take it off casually.

This is eighteen years, the original ordinary jade pendant has become crystal clear over the years, and now it seems that there is a faint fog fluttering inside, even if I don't understand it, I also know that this jade pendant is a treasure.

"Hey, it's been two years earlier than I expected, it seems that all this is doomed, even if your grandfather doesn't agree, at most half a year, you will come to me by yourself." Lao Dao took the jade pendant, his expression was a little trance, and he was also a little nostalgic.

"You wait here, I'll prepare something first." Lao Dao returned the jade pendant to me, and then turned and walked towards his ruined temple.

I don't think the old way is a joke, I can't help but be a little curious, since I was a child, I knew that the old way is chattering, there was a time when I thought he was a liar, but as I grew older, I felt more and more that the old way is extraordinary.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw Lao Dao come out of the ruined temple.

"Old Dao, what are you doing?"

Lao Dao put on a brand-new robe, and his hair was combed, strand by strand, and the tips of his hair were even stained with water droplets.

"Of course it's an apprentice, why don't you kneel down for me quickly?" Lao Dao's eyes widened, "If your grandfather hadn't agreed back then, you would have become my apprentice when you were seven years old." ”

"Old Dao, you're not kidding, are you?" I was a little dumbfounded.

"What do you think? Alright, get on your knees. Lao Dao's face turned pale, and then I knelt down uncontrollably, and at the same time I was even more horrified.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the thirty-two generations of Taoist protectors of the seventh branch of the Taoist family choose the thirty-third generation of Taoist protectors, so as to avoid the disaster of the withering of my Taoist inheritance, and hope that the heavens will bless it."

Just when I thought that Lao Dao was going to say something earth-shattering, who knew that it was just a few words that were not light, neither the name of the sect, nor the majestic name of the Dao, and what Longhu Mountain, Zhengyi faction was far behind.

It seemed that with the words of the old way, the jade pendant in my hand suddenly clicked, and it was instantly full of cracks, and then I felt a stream of air from the jade pendant into my palm, and then, my body seemed to be burning with a stove, and my whole body was like a boiled crab.

"Concentrate your mind, calm your breath."

Lao Dao drank in a low voice, the voice seemed to be directly remembered in my mind, like thunder, I didn't even react, Lao Dao was already pointing at my eyebrows.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, I felt as if my head was about to explode, and all the heat in my body rushed to my head quickly, and then my head became more and more swollen, and finally my eyes went black, and I simply fainted.
