Chapter 11: The Ghost Master
Beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers, it seems to completely dispel the bad luck that covers the whole village for half a month, and more than ten villagers use wooden sticks to carry more than ten weasels that have been split into black charcoal by lightning, each as big as a wolf dog.

Under Zhang Hua's cover, except for my parents, almost everyone may think that this is a ghost made by a weasel who is a good man, and as for Boss Duan, it has almost become a taboo for the whole village, and no one will mention it, and Duan Lin, since that day, it is her grandparents who have taken it.
A week later, a group of people from the county came and announced the official verdict. It was more than a dozen weasels who were infected with some kind of bacteria in the ancient tomb of the earthen ditch, which caused the mutation, and Duan Laoda dug up the ancient tomb, causing the weasel to enter the village to forage for food, kill the livestock, and attack the villagers.
For this conclusion, most of the villagers are still relatively convinced, they didn't see the ghosts and zombies with their own eyes, of course, they only saw two black shadows, but they really saw the obviously big scary weasels. The whole village participated in this lively activity comparable to the New Year, except for my parents, who had already taken the county magistrate's ride to the county seat.
At twelve o'clock at noon, the car stopped steadily at the door of the county guest house, and the parents originally wanted to let County Magistrate Zhang go with him, but County Magistrate Zhang didn't seem to mean this, just smiled and comforted a few words, and asked him to go to him again if he was in trouble.
The guest house is not large, only two floors. There are not many rooms, usually only some of the public families who come to the county on business will occasionally live, at this time the parents rashly appeared in the guest house, and immediately attracted the attention of the waiter.
"Who are you looking for?"
As soon as he saw the clothes of his parents, the waiter knew that they were not staying in the hotel, but fortunately, the waiter knew that no one who could come here could not be offended, and he did not rashly open his mouth to drive people away, so he asked lukewarmly.
The father smiled awkwardly, and quickly thought of a name that Zhang Hua had mentioned last night.
"We're looking for Master Gui! Oh, it was Master Gui who brought us over yesterday. ā
"There's a room on the second floor!"
The waiter pointed to the stairs behind him, signaled that the parents could go upstairs, and went to work on their own.
On the second floor, my parents stood nervously at the door of the last room in the middle, and were about to knock on the door, when they heard a cough from inside, and then said:
"The door is unlocked."
My parents carefully pushed the door in, and almost as soon as they entered the door, they saw the whole room, a wooden bed, a desk, a floor fan, two men in black robes, and I was lying on the bed, one of the two men sat on the edge of the bed, staring at me without raising his head, and the other stood respectfully on the side.
My father smiled awkwardly at the two of them, and then seemed to recognize the one standing next to the bed, it was Master Gui who carried me away last night, and hurriedly handed over a cigarette politely.
Master Gui turned to the man sitting on the edge of the bed with a cold face, and the meaning was obvious.
The father laughed awkwardly, and handed the cigarette to the man, who was also wrapped in a black robe, but there was no embroidery on his chest, and his age looked older than the second ghost, but if he looked closely, it seemed to be about the same. The skin is fair, the hair should be coiled, and it is not very obvious to see it by the hat of the black robe.
"Master! These two are the parents of the child! ā
Ghost Er bowed down and whispered a word, and the black-robed man beside the bed raised his head, smiled slightly, took the cigarette, and did not refuse the match that his father was wiping, lit the cigarette, closed his eyes, took a hard breath, and then spit out an eye circle.
"Soft-wrapped golden snub-nosed monkeys, a piece of five-day pack, it's not cheap."
This sentence was inexplicable, the father smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, the man took another puff, got up and flicked the cigarette ash by the window, and said with a smile:
"My apprentice removed the great harm for your village last night, and it is appropriate to smoke a cigarette from you."
"It's a good fit, it's a good fit. I came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring anything good, if the master doesn't dislike it, this pack of cigarettes ......"
This pack of cigarettes, although it was not very rare in that era of scarcity of materials, was quite luxurious for ordinary people.
Before the father could finish speaking, the man shook the cigarette in his hand and spoke again.
"This cigarette is enough, now let's talk about your son."
The parents glanced at each other, their eyes were complicated, but after only a moment, my father took out an oilcloth bag, and after opening it carefully, he revealed a red rope, and in the middle of the red rope was a golden bean the size of a thumb. If I had been awake at the time, I would have recognized it at a glance, and this thing was stolen out to play when I was a child, and I was beaten up as a fat person.
"Master, this is the most valuable thing in our family, if it is not enough, our family's three tiled houses can be sold for a few dollars. If only you could save my son! I ......"
Listening to my father's more and more outrageous it became, even the second ghost was uncomfortable, his face was flushed, and he was about to burst out laughing.
The man finished his last cigarette, extinguished the butt of the cigarette on the windowsill, then stuffed the oilcloth bag into my father, and explained:
"My name is Gui Zhongyun, and everyone else calls me an old ghost, so you can call me that. It's complicated, and you probably don't know much about it. To put it simply, your son and I have a mentor-apprentice relationship in our lives, and I want to take him as an apprentice today, so I want to ask you what you mean. ā
"This ......"
The father looked at the mother, and the ghost master picked up the cigarette that his father was still on the table and began to smoke, as if he was not in a hurry.
"I'm really sorry, ghost master, since you are also a gentleman, I will tell you the truth."
My father thought that the man in front of him was the same as the beggar back then, a gentleman who drove away evil spirits. So, I told the master what happened to me back then, although I didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning inside is obvious, that is, I want to ask the master, what is this sky lantern life, and moreover, whether the master has the ability to suppress my sky lantern life, so that I can live a stable life.
The master is also a real person, and almost explained the life of the sky lantern to his father in the most easy-to-understand words. To put it simply, I am an unlucky egg, and I am an unlucky person born with an unlucky aura, and I am born with an unlucky aura, and it is easy to attract evil things, and as I get older, this unlucky aura will continue to grow, just like an oil lamp, this flame burns halfway, and it is the most prosperous. As for whether my life is good or bad, the master didn't say, just said that as long as my wick is not extinguished, my body will not die, as for what my wick is, the master did not say, and my father did not dare to ask.
As for the affairs in the village, the master told my father thoroughly, of course, in the whole incident, there was also my relationship, so my father listened very carefully.
To put it simply, it was Boss Duan who dug up the ancient tomb and was crushed to death by the sarcophagus, and in the sarcophagus happened to be a black-haired zongzi, which was stained with the last trace of yang energy and blood before Boss Duan's death, and the souls of the two were fused, of course, and at the same time, they also fused Boss Duan's obsession, and originally wanted to go back to take care of his cheating wife and Anwa and younger brother who gave him a green hat, but he was attracted by my sky lantern, because I couldn't control my soul, so I was trapped in a dream with Boss Duan's newly fused soul.
And I was attracted by the fifth grandfather who was on the body of the weasel, at the time of the crisis, the black-haired zongzi who was trapped in the soul, with the last of the body, forcibly let the body out of the horse, killed the fifth grandfather to save himself, and also killed Anwa and Li Chunhua Duan Tian and others.
And Zhang Hua used the earth thunder and fire charm to split the soil ditch, one is equivalent to splitting the nest of the black-haired zongzi, and the other is that the old zongzi also felt a trace of crisis, so he decided to attack first and kill Zhang Hua and others. It was also at this time that the soul of the old zongzi who was trapped in the dream realm fused with the boss of Duan temporarily won, and of course, he also successfully controlled the control of my body, and killed the other two Taoist priests, after that, the ghost two appeared, and what happened later, my father and they all knew.
After hearing the whole story, my father and mother sighed, and they couldn't imagine that when they came here today, they miraculously heard the secret things of the people in the village from outsiders, and what made them even more amazing was that there were really these word-of-mouth horrors in the world. However, it's just an addiction, these things, they know, they have to forget when they go out of this door, these words are said, who knows that it will cause great trouble.
"Okay, you know what you shouldn't know, you all know. So ......"
The master flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and since the beginning of the story, his cigarette has not stopped, and now it is the fifth, and he looks at his parents with a smile, waiting for them to decide.
The father looked at the mother, and the two seemed to have a moment of exchange in their eyes, and then asked the master:
"This kid is with you, can we still meet as a family in the future?"
"Of course, I just took him as an apprentice, and when he is well, he will go to school. For the time being, I will live in this place for the next few years, and when I am older, I will take him out to see the world. ā
As soon as they heard that I was going to stay here, my parents were relieved and their smiles were rarely revealed. My father even took out a dry tobacco stick and smoked it. My mother looked at me who was asleep, and I still didn't feel at ease.
"This baby is all right, right? Why can I sleep here, but I don't wake up yet! ā
The master smiled and didn't answer, but said something unfathomable about what he wanted to give me a creation or something, in short, it was not time to wake up.
Next, my father gritted his teeth and took out a month's living expenses for the whole family, and invited the master and the ghost to have a meal in a nearby small restaurant, while my mother took care of me in the room.
The master didn't lie to my mother, and when the three of them came back from eating, I was already awake, but my spirit was a little abnormal, crying and saying I was afraid, laughing and scolding again. Just when my mother was at a loss, my father and my master returned.
When the master saw me like this, he smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed the ghost to pour a cup of hot water, and he took out a yellow talisman stacked into a triangle from his chest, because it was stacked, and he didn't know what was drawn in the talisman. Originally, my father thought that the master was going to chant a spell or something, but I saw that the master threw the talisman into the water cup so carelessly, and then, with the hand that had not been washed after going to the toilet, stirred it in the water a few times, and then ordered the ghost to pour it down for me.
Not to mention, I immediately quieted down when I was talking nonsense, rolled my eyes, and fell asleep again.
Seeing his mother's worried look, the master casually said that it was okay, and he didn't care about me, and pulled his father to smoke it, of course, this pack of cigarettes was bought by my father when he came back from going out.
