At night, without the heat and noise of the day, a cool breeze blows, which is refreshing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I sat in front of the window, looking at the stars, smoking a cigarette and combing through the day's events. Many unbelievable past events also came to mind one by one......
My hometown is in a small village at the foot of the Mianshan Mountains in Shanxi Province. I grew up in the mountains.
Originally, I also had a twin brother named Hu Yifei, who looked exactly like me, and it was difficult for people in the village to tell which of us was the elder brother and who was the younger brother. Not only are they the same in appearance, but the twins have a strong telepathy with each other, and when my brother was born, he often had the same mind as me.
My family is a farmer and a contractor of fish ponds, and although my family was poor when I was a child, I had the love of my parents and grandparents, and my brothers had a good childhood.
However, when I was 6 years old and in elementary school, my younger brother left.
I vividly remember that day, after school, my brother and I were walking home when the sky was covered with heavy dark clouds, everything was dark on the ground, and there was a rumbling thunder overhead. A thunderstorm is coming.
So we quickened the pace.
Halfway through, there was a big rock on the side of the road, on which sat a shriveled and thin old Taoist priest with a sallow face, broom eyebrows, and a gray Taoist robe. The impending storm seemed to have no effect on him, and despite the thunder above his head, he only closed his eyes and meditated, not moving.
My brother and I looked at him for a while, not knowing what he was doing, and not knowing when such a strange person came to the village. I said, don't look at it, let's go.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps forward, the raindrops of beans fell with a bang, and we had no umbrella with us, so we could only fly home.
"Boom! Syllable! "There was a loud bang, and a bright light instantly hit us. We were struck by lightning.
The bright light was what I had seen before I fell unconscious, and then, I had a few violent convulsions, my eyes went black, and I lost consciousness. For a moment before I fell unconscious, I kept crying out in my heart, "I can't die, I can't die, I want to live...... Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma......"
……
I don't know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the old Taoist priest's sallow face, with triangular eyes and broom eyebrows, which looked very funny.
The old Taoist priest stared at me with a sparkling gaze, thoughtful: "Little brother, you can still survive such a lightning strike, you are really hard enough, and your physique and talent are by no means comparable to ordinary people, you are a good seedling for cultivating the art of Xuanmen." It's a pity that your brother can't be saved. ”
I didn't understand what the eight characters were, physique, and talent at the time, and as soon as I heard that my brother was dead, I immediately cried and cried and clamoured to go home.
The old Taoist priest sighed: "There are many things, which have long been destined in the dark, your brother's life should be like this, child, you have to be strong and cheer up!" Come, I'll take you home, I have something important to discuss with your family. ”
I cried and walked on the muddy road with the old Taoist.
As I walked, I suddenly realized that the world was not the same as what I had seen before—there were a few more dark shadows. These dark shadows were like clouds of smoke, fluttering on the roadside, under the trees, on the roofs of houses. So I asked, "Grandpa, what is this black shadow floating around?"
The old Taoist priest replied casually: "This is a ghost." ”
As soon as I heard him, I immediately felt a chill in my heart, and I couldn't help but walk behind him.
Lao Dao then explained: "You were not killed by lightning just now, but with the help of the power of nature, you opened half of the yin and yang eyes, which is also the blessing of your immortality." If I send True Qi into your body again, I can help you completely open the Yin and Yang Eyes, so that you can see the true face of the ghosts, not just a dark shadow - of course, I can help you open the Yin and Yang Eyes only after your family agrees and you officially become my heir. ”
Along the way, I saw two or three black shadows, which made me tremble, but luckily they didn't come to hurt me.
When I returned home, my parents, grandparents and grandparents learned about my brother's death, and they cried for a while. Grandma cried and cried, and fainted, the old Taoist priest helped to check the pulse, pinched the person, tossed a little, and finally woke up grandma.
The family breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, the old Taoist priest said to my parents: "I can't pick out one out of millions of people like me, who has a birthday, physique and talent, and is really a good seedling for cultivating the art of Xuanmen, so he offered to take me as an apprentice and let me go up the mountain with him to learn the Tao."
My dad hesitated, but my mom firmly disagreed, she had just lost my brother, and I was the only son left, and she refused to let me leave the house at a young age to get in touch with the evil things of the demons and monsters.
The old Taoist priest had no choice but to say to me: "I will never be mistaken, you and I are destined, and we have to meet sooner or later." In the future, if you have a strange thing that you can't solve, you can go to the Yunhe Temple in the east of Mianshan to find me Cangwu Daoist. ”
When he was leaving, he told me again: "Your yin and yang eyes are half open now, and you will often see black shadows in the future, but don't worry, ordinary ghosts can't hurt you, unless you are particularly resentful." If those dark shadows are haunting you, you just need to concentrate and silently tell it to go away in your heart, and you'll be fine—because you're a very gifted child, and you have a strong mind. ”
From that day on, I often saw black shadows floating around, and I was scared at first, but gradually I got used to it. Daoist Cangwu is right, ordinary ghosts can't do anything to me.
I didn't tell anyone about this past, and I didn't want to be studied as a monster.
However, I was very impressed by the Cangwu Daoist, and sometimes, I would fantasize that I had practiced his skills, and then traveled all over the world to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. Therefore, although my mother did not approve of me going up the mountain to learn the Tao, I became very interested in Maoshan Shu, and sometimes I would read some books about Maoshan Shu behind my family's back.
In this way, I learned little by little, what is the Five Elements Bagua, what is Sutu Mai, who is the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and who is the Sanmao Zhenjun......
After graduating from high school, I was admitted to the School of Architecture in a daze. Actually, I didn't have much interest in architecture, so my grades in all subjects were in the middle and lower reaches. However, architectural feng shui won the first place. I don't know why, but I have a special feeling for this course, and I can draw inferences, and sometimes, even the teacher is stumped by the questions I ask.
In my spare time, I continued to learn about Maoshan Technique from the Internet and books, so that I knew what was the Nine Heavens of Thunder and what was the Golden Dragon Technique...... It was also for this reason that my classmates gave me a nickname: Ichimei Taoist.
……
I came back to my senses, and when I looked at the ashtray, there were seven or eight more cigarette butts.
I lit another cigarette and combed through the strange events of the day.
There must be something wrong with that house. Usually the dark shadows I see are safe and divided, and they will not take the initiative to offend the living; And today that ghost seems to be not very comfortable to die, and he is not honest after death. The stench in the room made me even more sure that it was a ghost, an evil spirit—something I had seen in books before.
What happened in that house can only be known by asking the owner.
What bothers me is that I can't remember which book has recorded how to exorcise the evil energy in Yuan Yuan and Fa Ge.
I'm starting to worry about getting round.
She has only been in our branch for four months, and she is as her name suggests, with a round face, round eyes, and even her body is round and plump, very charming, and her personality is also very cute. She likes to cook, and occasionally makes some kelp mung bean soup and monk fruit water to share with her colleagues.
It's a good girl. I can't deny that when I work with Yuanyuan, I have a strange feeling and a very cheerful mood. However, I didn't dare to confess to her, I knew that I didn't have the capital to win a good girl.
I don't know what happened to her, and I'm getting more and more worried.
