"Big sister, I've seen Xiaozheng's birthday. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell the truth. But now, if I hide it again, I'm afraid that I will miss this child's life. ”

Mom hurriedly said: "Boss Tang, if you have anything to say, just say it, I can hold it!" ”

Old Tang pondered slightly, and said: "Xiao Zheng is the reincarnation of the Four Yin Boys, and he is the person to be determined by the King of Scattered Wealth." For the next three days, you must be careful not to let him go near a place where there is water, such as the large pond in front of your house. Alas, but some things are predestined, and you can't hide from them. ”

When my mom heard this, she almost fainted.

It turns out that in folk beliefs, there are many people who are children. The person with the life of a child is either a celestial who has been born in the six realms of reincarnation, or a person who has made some kind of deal with the ghost king of the underworld in a previous life or his ancestors. Most of the former came to the world with punishment, and they were weak and sick since childhood, and they died before they reached adulthood. Of course, there are some who come with a major mission, but after all, they are a minority, and there will not be a few in a hundred years.

As for the latter, it is more troublesome. Although the Ghost King's position in the underworld is not high, he is in charge of the fate of most people.

Old Tang said that after the death of our people in the three towns of Hushan, Banshan and Heshan, we will pass through the territory of the Scattered Wealth Ghost King, and we will not be able to escape no matter what.

When my dad heard this, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and hide outside the house to smoke, leaving my mother alone in the house to sob.

She knelt down towards Old Tang's head: "Boss Tang, no, Brother Tang!" You are good, save this child! ”

Old Tang was quick-eyed, grabbed her, and said in amazement: "Big sister, what are you doing!" I've also watched this kid grow up, but I won't fail to say anything if there's a way. ”

Mom cried, "How old is he?" I don't care, you must save him! ”

Old Tang was silent for a long time and then said: "The so-called Four Yin Boy is the year, month, day, and hour of birth, and the four pillars are all yin. This kind of life is rare, and most of them have intersected with the ghost king. Big sister, take the liberty of asking, have your ancestors ever provoked this ghost king of scattered wealth? ”

"Our family is an honest farmer, and we don't even dare to offend our neighbors on weekdays, how dare we provoke any ghost king? Besides, even if you want to provoke, you don't know where the way is. Brother Tang, you have a good eye for the sky, can you open the eye of the sky to take a look? ”

Old Tang smiled bitterly: "If I have this ability, I can still ask you?" If you think about it, what strange things happened in previous generations? ”

Mom thought about it for a long time, and suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Patriotic, stop smoking!" Before you got married, I remember you telling me that your ancestors once picked up a treasure and then became rich for a while. What the hell is going on, you tell Brother Tang! ”

Dad was squatting in the corner of the wall smoking, and he didn't reply when he heard the words: "It's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, what are you doing with it?" ”

Mom said angrily: "When is the time, where are you still putting the score!" Isn't it all for the sake of children? Do you want to talk about it? ”

Dad sighed, threw away the cigarette butt, and went back to the house to talk about the past.

My grandfather's grandfather was named Li Baosi, who lived in Baoding, Hebei Province, and was a craftsman who was a professional craftsman, but later had to go south to seek refuge with distant relatives in Hangzhou due to frequent wars in the north.

He wanted to use his carpentry skills to make some furniture to sell, but in these years, who has the spare money to buy this thing? Even if there is, they pretend to be like a flower child, so as not to be robbed by the government and rebels.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to take the risk and fight backwards.

Hangzhou has been the capital since the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was even more prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, cremation was still practiced from time to time, and the Hushan Mountain, where the yin house had excellent feng shui, became the burial place of the powerful.

Although Li Baosi has never been upside down, many things still depend on luck. He groped for half a month in Hushan, and finally found the tomb of a Ming Dynasty official and servant, and picked up two sacks.

Just as he was about to pat his ass and leave, a copper bottle lying in the corner caught his attention.

This bottle is clumsy, with a small mouth and a big belly, about half a meter high, mixed with blue and blue, and is covered with various peculiar lines.

Li Baosi has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he can be regarded as a little knowledgeable. He saw that the text on the bottle did not look like Chinese, nor was it Manchu, Mongolian, and Hui Tibetan language, let alone foreign language, but a bit of Turpan flavor, and thought to himself that this thing was not from the ancient Western Regions?

He excitedly picked up the copper bottle and was about to leave, never thinking that the back of his hand was cut by the rubble.

Blood trickled onto the bottle and was immediately sucked up. The wound was not long, and it was supposed to heal quickly, but instead of healing, a large amount of blood was leaking out.

Li Baosi was so frightened that he hurriedly threw the bottle, but saw a burst of white smoke rising from the bottle, and the wind around him suddenly became strong.

"Who is it...... Who ......" accompanied by the long devil cry and the swaying shadows of the trees, the whole dark night seemed to be shrouded in ghosts.

Even if Li Baosi was fat, he was frightened at the moment, and fell to the ground with a "plop", "The prime minister's grandfather is above, and the villain is so hungry that he can't stand it, please see that there is an eighty old mother in my family, and there is a ...... below."

The wind stopped, and so did the Devil May Cry.

However, when Li Baosi was glad that his prayer had worked, a voice like a broken gong sounded in front of him: "Do you want a fortune? ”

Li Baosi only wants to live, where do you dare to ask for any wealth, just a vigorous kowtow and pound garlic.

"Hurry up, please get up, I am the ghost king of the underworld, and I was sealed into a copper bottle by an evil way spell more than a thousand years ago. Today, I was rescued by your blood, and I want to give you a wealth and wealth. How is it? ”

When Li Baosi heard that the other party was the ghost king, he was so frightened that his pants were wet, and he closed his eyes and said, "But...... But by the king's guidance. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to do this inverted thing anymore, go to the city and sell the things in the tomb, and then make a good living. No matter what kind of business, this king will keep you rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. ”

Li Baosi saw such a good thing, where was he willing to say nothing, and he was busy kowtowing and thanking him.

The Ghost King changed his words and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first. If you really want this riches, you must make a pact with me. ”

"What contract?"

"I will ensure that you will be rich for the rest of your life, and if there is a boy born in the lunar year, the moon, and the sun among your ten descendants, he must be given to me as a ghost boy."

"Ghost boy? What's that? ”

"You don't have to dig into that. In short, the child will not live to be ten years old, and he will be with me when he dies, and he will never be able to live beyond his life. ”

As soon as Li Baosi heard this, his head immediately shook like a rattle, "No, no, I don't want this wealth anymore, I can't do anything sorry for my children and grandchildren." ”

The Ghost King laughed: "You are too stupid! Do you think this four-yin boy is so good? It is a question of whether you can give birth to a four-yin boy among your descendants in a hundred lifetimes, let alone within ten lifetimes? I obviously want to repay my kindness, and I want to give you a wealth for nothing, if it is not for the rules of the prefecture, why bother to make a contract? Well, in this case, we will not owe each other in the future, and there will be no time in the future! With that, it turned into a puff of smoke and dispersed.

Maybe he was confused by the ghost, Li Baosi thought that the ghost king's words were right, and hurriedly shouted "The king stays", and signed a contract on the spot.

The next night, he risked killing his head and went into the city to resell the Ming utensils, and he got rid of them all, presumably the ghost king was secretly helping.

Li Baosi relied on this money to open a silk shop in the city, and in five or six years, his family had become wealthy. Although he is not as good as Hu Xueyan and Du Jinsheng, he is also a first-class local tycoon.

But a month before his death, his family suddenly suffered a change, suffered a wrongful lawsuit, and all his property was confiscated, leaving only a dilapidated old house in Hushan Village.

Li Baosi became depressed and sick, recalling the contract he signed with the ghost king, and couldn't help but regret it unusually. He told his children and grandchildren about this before his sickbed, hoping that they would have a good life in the future and not be greedy and cause trouble.

After listening to it, I always felt that this story was a little familiar, and after a while, I suddenly realized: "Dad, you made up this story!" Where is this the matter of the ancestors, it is obviously Aladdin's magic lamp! ”

Dad smiled: "You kid is right. This is most likely a story made up by Bao Sigong in order to educate future generations. There are no ghosts in the world, and if there are, there are people who are doing ghosts. ”

Old Tang shook his head and said: "Your family Bao Sigong didn't talk nonsense, there is indeed a ghost king in the underworld, and it was sealed in a copper bottle more than a thousand years ago. You ......"

"Old Tang, it's almost done! Why do you always scare children? Dad finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Even if this story is true, the ghost king also said that a hundred lifetimes may not be able to give birth to a four-yin boy, my family Xiaozheng is so coincidental?" ”

Old Tang Tou sighed: "What is the tenth generation, that is the fourth prince of your family who has become the ghost king of scattered wealth." ”

Mom was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Where do you start with this?" ”
