Wang Yang and his mother returned to the village, and in a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, and the school opened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a young new teacher in the school, wearing black-rimmed myopic glasses, and he is always smiling when he sees people. Wearing a well-fitting dark blue tunic suit, the clothes are a little old, but they are clean.

In the first class, the new teacher made a brief self-introduction in front of the podium, he held his glasses, cleared his throat, and said: "Hello students, my name is Xu Wenying, I just graduated from the Municipal Normal Secondary School, and I will be the new Chinese teacher of the students in the future. "Teacher Xu, my name is Wang Qianqian!" The first to stand up and sign up for the word, after a Spring Festival, the advance has grown taller and fatter than the original, and it also looks lively, Teacher Xu responded: "Okay, please sit."

When it was Wang Yang's turn, he stood up and shouted, "Hello teacher, my name is Wang Yang!" ”

But Teacher Xu unusually didn't let Wang Yang sit down immediately, he looked Wang Yang up and down carefully, and looked a little surprised: "You, called Wang Yang?" Wang Yang asked puzzledly: "Teacher Xu, do you know me?" Teacher Xu relieved himself and said, "Oh, no! You may be seated", and the students who followed continued to sign up.

After class, Lamei quietly leaned in Wang Yang's ear and said, "Teacher Xu speaks in Mandarin and has a very good voice, I like this teacher, but why does Teacher Xu always look at you with that weird look?" Wang Yang scratched the back of his head and said: "I also feel it, I have been seen several times in class, at first I thought I had violated some classroom discipline, but later I saw that it was not, I was also very strange",

"Hey, Lamei, what are you doing with Wang Yang, do you practice kissing?" Forward, looking at Lamei, said with a grin. Lamei was ashamed and annoyed, and said, "Forward, why are you talking nonsense now?" Didn't brush your teeth? Stinking! ”

After school in the afternoon, I went home and lay on the dinner table to do my homework. The Chinese homework was finally completed, but the math homework was stumped after just a few questions, and I scratched my ears and cheeks.

Qianqian's mother was a very ordinary rural woman at that time, hardworking and uneducated, sitting on the side with the soles of her shoes, and sighed when she saw this: "Alas, go forward, you are really not the material for school, you look at Wang Yang's child, study well and have a sweet mouth, you have half of the family, it's good, you can't listen to the teacher in class?" ”

Forwarding angrily threw the pencil on the table and said angrily, "I won't write!" Then he ran back to the inner room and closed the door with a heavy slam.

When he came back from working in the field, his father, who had just entered the house, saw this scene and said dissatisfiedly: "Child, you don't know what's wrong with our child, what are you stimulating him to do?" The two sisters who went forward were smarter, but the girl was someone else's sooner or later! Isn't this the end of our heirlooms? No matter how annoying your mother-in-law is, I'll slap you! The mother was so frightened that she quickly stopped her mouth and quickly picked up the soles of her shoes.

Ran into the back room, closed the door and went to sleep.

In his sleep, he seemed to feel that there was someone beside him, and when he got up in a haze, he saw that a thin old man with a white beard was standing by the bed and patting the dust on his body.

Qianqian asked curiously: "Old fellow, who are you?" How did you run into the house? ”

The white-bearded old man almost choked on the words of the advance, and said, "You little fellow, why don't you have any manners, you should call me grandpa!" There is really no tutor! ”

Forward, he said, "You came to my house suddenly without saying hello, are you polite?" ”

The white-bearded old man let out an embarrassed "oh" and diverted the topic: "We are destined people, first of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Ruotong, from the neighboring village, I am much older than you according to my age, I have cultivated for many years before my death, and my future identity is the local land father-in-law, and I am currently an alternate." ”

Forward, he asked, "What kind of official is that?" The white-bearded old man thought about it and said, "It should be equivalent to your township chief-level official." ”

Forward remembered the big-bellied township chief who came to the school to participate in the opening ceremony, and the most feared thing about the head teacher was the head teacher, but when I saw the head teacher running around the head of the township, he carried tea and poured water, including the principal was respectful to the head of the township. At this time, Qianjin was in awe of the white-bearded old man and sat up straight.

The white-bearded old man Zhao Ruotong continued: "I am now an alternate, and I still need to be formally appointed after being inspected by my superiors." At present, I can only possess the ghost exorcism talisman and settle down with the breath of people, and the person I choose now is you. ”

Forward said: "I don't like older people to be my friends, why don't you find someone else?" ”

Zhao Ruotong continued: "This matter is very complicated, it's not that I can find anyone I want, and it's not that you can find me if you want to, it's a kind of fate, an arrangement in the dark, a chance encounter, and an inevitability of fate." ”

"I don't understand, old man, what do you mean is that you can't find someone else, you can only find me, right?"

Zhao Ruotong nodded and said, "That's pretty much the truth, but your understanding is too poor, and I have been communicating with you for so long before I can catch up with you." The two worlds of yin and yang, people and ghosts have different paths, those are two different realms, each of which exists according to different laws. But some people can encounter this kind of misalignment many times in their lives, and some people have no chance in their lives. As a Taoist priest during my lifetime, it was to defend the rules of the yin and yang worlds, maintain the balance of the two realms, and constantly eradicate some ghosts that are stranded in the yang world for various reasons, especially ghosts who want to harm people. So when I went to the underworld, the king of Yama appreciated me, and after reporting it, he gave me a special indicator and asked me to return to the yang world. Continuing to maintain peace and eradicate evil spirits is my main job. ”

"From the underworld, are you a ghost?" Forward asked. Zhao Ruotong shook his head and said, "No, I am a god, the smallest grassroots immortal, that is, the land lord." ”

Advance asked: "Is the land public in charge of public security?" It seems to be a matter for the police. Zhao Ruotong sighed: "Now the underworld is also engaged in streamlining institutions and reducing expenses. My position is the land officer, and I am in charge of many things such as law and order, ghost management, etc. In addition, I also participated in the fifth training of grassroots management cadres organized by the competent department and graduated with high scores. ”

At this time, Qianqian's eyes widened and said, "Then you must be very good at studying, right?" Zhao Ruotong nodded proudly: "Of course!" ”

"Grandpa, I haven't finished my math homework yet, can you help me finish it?" Forward mouth sweet pleading. Zhao Ruotong blew his white beard and flatly refused: "No!" Do your own homework! Qianjin got angry: "Grandpa, you don't help at all, tomorrow morning there is a lack of things to ignite the fire in the stove at home, and I will burn your piece of ghost exorcism charm as firewood!" ”

This next time, Zhao Ruotong panicked: "Don't, don't, my little ancestor, I listen to you, don't destroy my exorcism talisman."

When I arrived at school the next day, I handed over my math homework to the teacher, and the teacher was very satisfied and said, "I did a good job of doing my homework this time, so pay attention to keep it!" Qianqian nodded again and again: "Teacher, don't worry!" In this day's Chinese class, Mr. Xu paid special attention to the progress, and was so frightened that he sat upright for a whole class. At the end of class, Teacher Xu said, "After school today, Wang Yang and his classmates came to my office. ”

On the way to the office after school in the afternoon, I said dejectedly: "It's not good for the teacher to leave me after school, I must have made some mistakes and am ready to criticize me, and you study well, there must be some rewards, praise and the like." Wang Yang glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

When the two arrived at the office, the other teachers left the school after school. Teacher Xu kindly sat the two of them down, first asked about the study, and then slowly asked, "Have you ever had any strange things or incredible strange things happen to the two of you recently?" "No," the two men replied almost in unison. Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous both of you, today, the teacher is just talking to you as friends, don't be nervous, think about it again?" "Teacher, I have something strange to report!" Stand up and say. Teacher Xu gently patted Qianjian's shoulder: "Okay, you sit down and talk." "My old hen usually doesn't lay eggs much, but these days she has been laying double yolk eggs vigorously!" Forward said loudly. "This is what you call a bizarre thing?" Teacher Xu asked a little disappointed, and nodded forward. Teacher Xu was silent for a moment and said, "Go ahead, you go back first, and tell the teacher at any time if something strange happens in the future."

Advance agreed, picked up the schoolbag and left the office, thinking to himself: "Of course there are strange things, that white-bearded old man is very strange, but if I say who will write my homework after I say it, and want to trick me into telling it, I won't be stupid!" ”

In the office, Teacher Xu turned his face and asked Wang Yang, "What about you?" Wang Yang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "If I say that I have encountered a lot of bizarre things in a row, will you believe it, teacher?" Will you feel like I'm not lying and still an honest kid? Teacher Xu said: "As long as it is your true feelings, the teacher will believe it, you say it."

Wang Yang started from the hanged ghost uncle he met in the army, and told Mr. Xu all the bizarre experiences in the past few years, and Mr. Xu never said a word in the process of listening, but his expression became more and more solemn.

After listening to Wang Yang's narration, Mr. Xu said: "Your situation is more serious than I imagined, first of all, I want to talk about the so-called ghosts, each ghost is actually an energy source, when a large number of ghosts gather together, it forms a huge energy space, the specific form of existence is still difficult for us to figure out, we commonly call it the underworld." The existence of matter in the world is the same amount, and it will not change the overall quantity due to individual obesity, emaciation or death, etc., it will exist in the same amount in another way, and it lives in two different spaces under the same quality with human beings, in what we call the two worlds of yin and yang, which are both balanced and dependent on each other and operate according to their own laws. ”

Wang Yang asked suspiciously: "Teacher Xu, how do you know so much, but what you said is too profound, I still don't understand it very well."

Teacher Xu nodded understandingly: "Generally speaking, I know more because I was born in a family of ghost hunters, and I have been dealing with exorcism and ghost hunting since my grandfather's generation. In the years of my studies, I have always tried to explore the question of ghosts with the current scientific methods, but," Mr. Xu shook his head, sighed and continued: "Just like it is as difficult as it is to understand why the electric light shines and why the radio speaks loudly in front of a primitive person, the scope of knowledge we currently have is only a drop in the ocean!" ”

"Teacher Xu, why doesn't anyone say this today? This is the first time I've heard Mr. Xu talk about ghosts. Wang Yang said puzzled.

Teacher Xu said: "In today's society, ghosts are synonymous with superstition, if you say that you have seen ghosts, others may treat you as crazy!" Not everyone can encounter the so-called ghost casually in their life, I think the chance of encountering a ghost should be thousands or tens of thousands, even if many people encounter it if there are not too many accidents, they will not make a noise. ”

Wang Yang said suspiciously: "If ordinary people encounter very few opportunities, why do I encounter them so many times?" ”

Teacher Xu smiled and said: "You have a good question, let me start from the beginning, there are different laws in the yin and yang worlds, just like objects on the earth, birds flying in the air, including airplanes flying in the sky, will not be thrown into outer space all at once, because they all have their own centripetal force, and it is impossible to fly out, but" Teacher Xu changed his words and said: "Some objects can break free from the shackles of the earth's centripetal force by borrowing some special carriers, for example? Wang Yang immediately replied: "Rocket or spaceship!" ”

Teacher Xu nodded and said: "Some ghosts with special characteristics are not bound by the centripetal force of the underworld, and escape from that space through various abnormal ways, and then come to the world we live in, but to come to our world is not easy to exist, it needs a carrier, more bluntly, a host, as a place to live. If you can't find a host for a long time, it's like a fish leaving the water, and it will be gone.

The host can be a human, an animal or even a plant, etc., of course, they give priority to people, because people are the highest beings in this world, and many things they can't easily do by controlling people. And the kind of people who are chosen by ghosts to host are called ghost mediators, and in more detail, ghost mediators. Wang Yang nodded as if he didn't understand: "So that's the case."

Teacher Xu continued: "The host is not something that can be found casually, just like using a plug to find a power outlet, and the probability of matching is also very low, and you! Teacher Xu stared at Wang Yang and said, "You are the power socket, and maybe the best power socket for all!" ”

After hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a cool breath behind him, and asked a series of questions with a crying voice: "I understand, Mr. Xu, you mean that I am a ghost medium, and I am a ghost medium that is easy to recruit any ghost, right?" You know everything, aren't you also a ghost medium? ”

Teacher Xu patted Wang Yang with concern: "You are very smart, you understand my metaphor correctly", then sighed and shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, I am not a ghost medium, I belong to another category, that is, what people usually call yin and yang eyes, I can naturally sense some different objects, and the skill of catching ghosts and exorcisms is something I have studied and learned diligently, and it is just starting out." Unlike our Taoist gradual cultivation, the ghost medium can absorb the energy of ghosts, and then quickly develop into power, but it is also easy to be swallowed by more powerful ghosts. In reality, many ghost media will be occupied by ghosts, ranging from madness and dementia to psychiatric hospitals or nursing homes, to serious injuries to others and themselves, sudden murder and injury to innocent people or jumping off buildings, etc., only a very few, in fact, these very few can really be called ghost media, can summon ghosts, communicate with them, and can control some ghosts, and swallow some ghosts that do evil as their own energy source. ”

Teacher Xu continued, "Your body must have a quality that we ordinary people can't have, so you can attract this kind of energy body called ghosts. Although you have experienced many dangerous things, do not be afraid. As long as you don't use them and guide them correctly, no matter what ghosts you are, they will be driven by you, and this will be more beneficial to society. And in the future, I will pay more attention to you, and you will always tell the teacher if you have any questions."

Wang Yang's heart calmed down a lot, and he took out the copper coin and handed it to Teacher Xu. Teacher Xu took the copper coin and observed it for a long time and said: "This copper coin is no different from the usual copper coin, I don't have a strong feeling, the ghost you mentioned in it has either dispersed or has left."

Wang Yang took the copper coin and suddenly remembered something, and said to Teacher Xu: "I still have an old cat at home, which is getting weirder and weirder", "You didn't tell me about this, tell me about it!" Teacher Xu took the conversation and said with interest.

Wang Yang began to adopt the old cat out of his pity, Wang Yang felt that this lame one-eyed cat was cold and hungry outside in the winter, and gradually found that this strange cat had a lot of weirdness after taking it home.

First of all, the pupils of this one-eyed cat are different from other cats, the pupils of ordinary cats will dilate or contract with the change of light, and this old cat's pupils have not changed at all whether it is in the strong sunlight during the day or in the dark night. Another is not sensitive to pain, once accidentally stepped on the old cat's tail, Wang Yang found out and hurriedly raised his feet, but the old cat ignored it, as if it was not its body.

After listening to Mr. Xu's words just now, Wang Yang had greater doubts about the weirdness of the old cat. After listening to Wang Yang's description of the strange cat, Mr. Xu was silent for a while, looked out the window and said: "It's not early, today's conversation is here, don't tell anyone everything we talked about, that old cat is indeed very special, you have to continue to pay attention to observe, if there is anything weird, tell me at any time, I will go to your house to see the strange cat when I have time another day."

Wang Yang said goodbye to Teacher Xu and left school and returned home, where his mother was cooking. The old cat curled up in the doorway aisle, and didn't show much affection for Wang Yang's return, but only lazily "meowed" twice. After greeting my mother, my mother said, "Your father has sent another letter from the army, let you study hard!" Wang Yang agreed, opened his schoolbag and started to do his homework, but because of the conversation with Teacher Xu just now, his mind always couldn't put on his homework, and he glanced at the old cat in the aisle from time to time, and then wrote down his homework.

At this time, the old cat arched his waist, lazily wagged his tail a few times, and his body took a strange shape, and then remained motionless for a long time. Wang Yang put down the pencil and touched the old cat, the old cat's body was stiff, there was no breath, and it turned out to be dead.

Wang Yang was shocked and shouted, "Mom, the old cat is dead." The mother came over to look at the old cat, touched the old cat's nostrils with her hand, and sighed: "This cat has always been sick and crooked, this time it is really dead, go dig a pit and bury it." Wang Yang was sad and found a small cardboard box, put the stiff old cat in it, and dug a pit in the grove behind his house to bury the cat.
