At this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the dog master was like chewing wax, and after taking a sip of spirits, he said: "I have to get a coffin for a while, but I didn't expect that he would go first after all." ”

The white-haired old man's name is Tong Kunbu, as his name suggests, when he was ten years old, he learned Taoism from others, proficient in Feng Shui and I Ching, and will also exceed the practice, in the past was a famous Taoist priest, and the dog master was born in the same year.

Since that gambling appointment, the family has begun to slump. The following year, because the second elder couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, he both died of depression.

That year, the dog master's family was so poor that he couldn't even afford a thin-skinned coffin, and the relatives who came and went in the past avoided the dog like a plague god, and the corpses of his parents lay straight on the door panel for three days and couldn't even burn a single incense.

Later, it was Kun Bu who bought two coffins for the dog's parents, and helped him to bury him over, so the dog's master regarded him as his own brother.

The dog master is a prodigal, after the family fell into the middle of the road, he moved to this place alone, and some people called him a daughter-in-law, but the dog master refused on the grounds that women were troublesome, and has been single until now.

Kunbu learned the Tao and began to stand on his own at the age of twenty-three, but in fact, it is not counted. In that poor era, his master no longer had extra rations to raise another apprentice, and although Kun Bu was quite qualified, he also faced stomach problems.

Starting by helping people tell fortunes and choosing names, Kun Bu's fame had overshadowed his master in a few years. But at that time, a Taoist priest was not a profession, only an identity, and like Cha Wenbin, he had never been to a Taoist temple, and he could be regarded as a wild Taoist. Kunbu also spends most of his time farming, and Taoist priest is just a title for him in addition to the peasant's clothes.

Kun Bu's fate is somewhat similar to Cha Wenbin's, he also went downhill since he started helping people collect souls, and that time he listened to the dog master talk about it was more thrilling than Cha Wenbin saving his aunt.

When he was young, Kun Bu Daoxing was above Cha Wenbin, he didn't have the head of the big seal seven-star sword, all with a peachwood sword and a small seal given by the master, he saved two lives.

The dog master was also one of the people who watched the excitement at that time, and a southern girl was married in the village at that time, and it is said that she fled here with her parents, and her life was very smart. On the way to escape the famine, both parents died, so they became relatives with a small group of people in the village, but they envied the group of big and small singles.

Another year passed, the girl was about to give birth, and the ten-month-old belly people said that it was a son, but his family was very happy.

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortunes and misfortunes. On the day of delivery, the midwife rushed out of the room waving her blood-stained hands and shouting for help. At that time, medicine was not developed, and most of the midwives were delivered by midwives in the village, and in that era of inconvenient transportation, dystocia often meant death. Sure enough, when the people in the courtyard were busy setting up a carriage and preparing to send people to the town, someone inside came with the news that the girl had not picked up the girl in one breath and was dead.

Because it was one corpse with two lives, Tong Kunbu was invited to the scene as soon as possible and asked him to calculate the evil. As a result, Tong Kunbu came to the scene to take a look, but there was a female ghost who died of dystocia and was in a hurry to reincarnate in this household. Kun Bu found that because of the popularity outside, the girl's soul had not yet left the house, and he felt that there was still salvation, so he immediately sent someone to set up a scene. The proprietor is also a dead horse and a live horse doctor, so he let him try it, but Kun Bu made the woman come back to her senses in just a stick of incense, and gave birth to a cub successfully.

Since then, the Taoist priest Kun Buxian of the Tong family has become famous, and everyone in ten miles and eight towns has invited him as a guest, just to ask him to give a hexagram. Gradually, his family's land began to be cultivated by women, and the children were also taken care of by women.

Kun Bu is most famous for his fortune telling, it is said that the hexagrams he calculates can basically work, but he, like Cha Wenbin, never counts the hexagrams for himself, and in the end he didn't expect to end up in such a fate.

First of all, the Cultural Revolution, in that nationwide vigorous campaign to overthrow feudal capital repair, Tong Kunbu, who had just been married for a few years, was almost a typical example of feudal superstition, and the head of the Red Guards who had personally asked him to come to the door to tell fortunes dragged him to the rice drying field by the ears of Kunbu.

After the criticism in the village, he was sent to the town as a model for criticism, and the town was sent to the county after eating the big-character poster, and tens of thousands of people were so excited that they waved the red book in their hands and shouted loudly to knock down the feudalism stinky old nine children Kunbu. During that time, he was dragged into the streets during the day and left in the cowshed at night, and because he was typical, he received special care at a terrible price, because one of his legs was disabled because of the continuous beatings that did not get medical treatment.

After the dying Tong Kunbu was thrown to the entrance of the village again, no one dared to answer it, and no one was afraid of being put on a high hat of the same party. He crawled, until he reached the door of the house, his wife covered his son and didn't dare to touch him, and finally the dog couldn't stand it and took him home.

After cultivating for half a year, Tong Kunbu was pulled out again, this time on the grounds that he was lame!

Others are lame, they are disabled, they are representatives of the middle and lower poor peasants, and they are objects that can be united. And he is lame, that doesn't work, others say that he is pretending to be an iron crutch in the Eight Immortals, a sublimation of feudalism, and a typical example of not repenting and changing this harder. So this poor Taoist priest of the Tong family was once again dragged upside down by a group of teenage Red Guards and dragged onto the street.

When he came back, it was already the end of the exercise, but unfortunately it was already a matter of time for everyone. Half of the house was already raided in that movement, and his wife couldn't stand to bear the charge, so she divorced him and married someone after completely drawing a line. The father and mother hanged themselves one after another to prove their innocence, leaving only a skinny and skinny son to follow the dog master with a broken bowl in his hand to eat.

His son was forcibly stopped by the dog master, and he treated him as his own, and reluctantly dragged Kun Bu home.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew to this small village several years later than the coastal zone, and during this period, some people came to him again to tell fortunes, but Tong Kunbu refused no matter who came, perhaps the Tao in his heart was dead at that time. How could he have thought that the culture left by his ancestors could become the feudal superstition in other people's mouths?

Later, when his son grew up and got married, the family life was peaceful for a year or two. When the conditions are good, people begin to pursue spiritual enjoyment, and more and more wealthy people begin to build houses and build spacious cemeteries, which all have to find someone to look at feng shui. Everyone in ten miles and eight towns knew that Tong Kunbu was a capable Taoist priest in the past, so some people began to ask him with thick red envelopes.

At first, he still refused, but by that time the wealthy families in the village had already begun to build large tiled houses, and their houses were still adobe houses. Because of this, his daughter-in-law scolded his son for his incompetence all day long, and Kun Bu heard too much and understood that he was scolding himself again, he was a cripple, and he couldn't earn any income and dragged down his son. Later, I thought about it, since ancient times, Taoist priests have been telling people fortune tricks to see feng shui, and they also rely on their ability to eat by earning a small amount of money to subsidize their families.

Thinking about this reason, the name of the Taoist priest of the Tong family resounded again, for a while, the Tong family jumped from a down-and-out household to a fragrant glutton, and the conditions of the family began to gradually improve from that time, and in the third year, the family has a big tile house, but there is a little, how can the daughter-in-law not be pregnant.

Tong Kunbu is determined not to read the hexagram for his family, which is also one of the rules of the Taoist priest, and after waiting for five years, his daughter-in-law's stomach finally moved, and the happy Tong Kunbu because the Tong family has a future, all day long to the ancestor incense for peace.

The day before the melons were ripe, the son specially sent his wife to the town health center, and the medical conditions at that time had already followed. In the joy of waiting to be upgraded to a grandfather, Kunbu did not feel the slightest sense of the impending tragedy.

Decades ago, the young Kun Bu snatched back the lives of a mother and son with a peachwood sword, and today he has begun to lie on his back, weathered by the years and just wants to be a quiet old man.

The debts that have been laid down will have to be repaid after all. The news brought to him by relatives who returned from the hospital was that his daughter-in-law had a dystocia and hemorrhage, and she was already dead on the way to the county hospital, and the doctor barely saved the child.

A thunderbolt slammed into the head of the Tong Taoist priest, and the face that was ready to welcome the good news and joy also became stiff. Because it was born in difficult childbirth, and the child has not had breast milk since he was a child, his health is very poor, and the doctor said that the child is not very easy to raise.

Tong Kunbu named the child Hetu, hoping that he could use this name to stop the bad luck that the child had to face as soon as he was born.
