Two months passed in a flash, and Huo Xiaolu's carefree summer vacation at home was soon coming to an end. I didn't bring much with me when www.biquge.info I came back, and I didn't pack my luggage when I left. After briefly sorting out the luggage, his mother reminded Huo Xiaolu that it was time to go to the Huo family ancestral hall to find Granny Lin.

On the afternoon before returning to school, Huo Xiaolu came to the Huo family ancestral hall with a nervous mood. He remembered that he had not been to the ancestral hall a few times since he was a child, because he felt that the solemn and dreary atmosphere here made him very uncomfortable, and now that he came here with a purpose, he naturally had a different feeling.

Because the whole village is basically a person surnamed Huo, although this village has no name, it is not an exaggeration to call Huojia Village, and it is precisely because of this that it is said that the Huo family ancestral hall, which has a history of hundreds of years, has also become an extremely sacred place in the hearts of the people in the village. The ancestral hall was built at the back of the village, close to the forest, and there was a large open space around it, and the surrounding houses were far away, so you could see it at a glance. Hundreds of years of wind and sun have not destroyed this small courtyard too badly, plus each generation will be sorted out and repaired from time to time, several houses here look very new, there is no trace of history, only the polished bluestone steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall can see the erosion of time. Huo Xiaolu stood on the bottom bluestone steps at this time, took a deep breath, and walked into the courtyard.

In fact, the ancestral hall itself is a slightly larger mansion courtyard, and the layout is also very simple, due north is the main house where the ancestral spirit is placed, the west is the room where some sundries are placed, and the east is the room of Granny Lin, who guards the ancestral hall. Huo Xiaolu was about to walk to the east, when he suddenly heard an old voice calling him: "Child, come here." ”

Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu turned his head and saw that an old woman with white hair and an aging face was standing at the door of the ancestral hall with her waist bent, holding the door frame with one hand and beckoning him over with the other. Huo Xiaolu hurriedly trotted over, and greeted the old lady while picking up him: "Granny Lin, I haven't seen you for so long, how are you old man?" ”

This old woman is Granny Lin, who is the caretaker of the Huo family ancestral hall. Speaking of Granny Lin is also quite legendary, first of all, no one knows how old she is, I only heard that Huo Xiaolu's grandfather was already middle-aged when she was a child, and now decades have passed, although it seems that she is about to die, but there has never been any major illness or disaster, and she has been living in good health until now. And the origin of Granny Lin is also very mysterious, it is said that she is the daughter of the forest god of the back mountain, and was entrusted to the Huo family ancestor for adoption, so the Huo family accumulated yin virtue and climbed the favor with the forest god, so that she can be blessed and continue to this day. Therefore, the people in the village both respect and fear Granny Lin, but she herself doesn't care about the eyes of others, and voluntarily lives here to guard the ancestral hall for the Huo family, and lives comfortably by relying on the villagers to give them a handful of rice and noodles.

In fact, Huo Xiaolu is still very close to Granny Lin in his heart, and he heard his father say that his name was still given by Granny Lin, and when he was young, he liked to come here to talk to Granny Lin and her. It's just that when he was a little older, he began to dislike the atmosphere of the ancestral hall, and he was haunted by nightmares, so he stopped coming to see Granny Lin often. But for Granny Lin, he still respects it from the bottom of his heart.

Granny Lin squinted her eyes and carefully examined Huo Xiaolu's face, and said with a smile: "You baby, you haven't come to see me over the years, I can't recognize it when I'm so big, but I'm getting more and more handsome." ”

Huo Xiaolu blushed a little secretly when Granny Lin said it, and said apologetically: "It's not that I don't have time to go to school outside at home all these years, besides, isn't this taking advantage of the holiday to come and see your old man's house, and get ready to chat with you." ”

Granny Lin was very disapproving: "You will be poor, do you think that the old woman doesn't know why you came?" Alright, come in, come in, I have something to say to you. ”

Hurriedly carried Granny Lin into the ancestral hall, and there were a few futons in front of the altar in the ancestral hall, and the two sat on the ground.

Before Huo Xiaolu could speak, Granny Lin said to Huo Xiaolu bluntly: "You are here to ask how to get rid of the nightmare on your body, right?" ”

Although he had already prepared in advance, Huo Xiaolu still felt a stir in his heart when he heard this, nodded, and looked at Granny Lin with some expectation and waited for her to continue.

Granny Lin continued: "Originally, I already knew what happened to you, but I haven't been able to help you, some time ago, one night, the ancestor of your Huo family suddenly came to talk to me late at night uninvited, and told me that he had found a way. ”

After so many things, Huo Xiaolu has accepted and believed in the fact that the ancestors have manifested their spirits. He asked with some eagerness, "What did the ancestors say?" ”

"Your ancestors said that you have a ghost attached to your body that has been dead for decades, and he was drunk and accidentally fell into the water and drowned while making a bet with someone by the river. After this person died, he was unwilling, and his resentment did not dissipate and turned into a ghost, and the place where he died became an ominous place where no grass grows. Later, the elementary school you went to when you were a child was built in that place, but he didn't dare to do anything about it when there were many people on weekdays. It's just that you kid once stayed at school until dark, and he washed his face in the pool at the entrance of the school, and the ghost attached himself to you when you were wet. Granny Lin's voice was very slow and low, Huo Xiaolu felt a little chill in his back when he heard it, who knew that some inadvertent actions at that time would bring him so much trouble. He couldn't figure it out in his heart, so he asked again: "But, Granny Lin, why hasn't this powerful ghost been attached to me for so many years?" What exactly is his purpose? ”

Granny Lin continued to explain to him slowly: "That terrible ghost originally wanted to come behind you and look for an opportunity to take your body and rebirth, that is, to take away your body. However, your Huo family ancestor has great luck, and he has a very good relationship with Lin Shen, so he firmly suppressed that powerful ghost on weekdays. It's just that the ghost already has some Taoism, and your ancestors can't subdue him. And that ghost can only come out and intimidate you while you are sleeping, hoping that you will force you into a delirium, and it is better to force you to commit suicide, so that he can take over your body while you are dead. ”

Huo Xiaolu didn't expect such a strange thing to happen to him, and when he thought that there was an evil ghost on his body eyeing his body, he was so scared that he swallowed his saliva. At this time, Granny Lin said again: "Fortunately, your ancestors still favored you very much, and finally found a way to relieve the trouble." ”

At this time, Huo Xiaolu was already impatient: "What way?" ”

"Actually, it's not a solution, it can only be said to be an opportunity." Granny Lin is always the kind of unhurried and frizzy tone, which makes people feel a little anxious and have no choice. She continued: "Your ancestor asked Lin Shen for divination, and calculated that an extremely terrifying existence will be born in the near future, and there will be some karmic entanglements and interactions with you, if you can find him and seize the opportunity, then your problem will not be a problem at all." ”

Hearing Granny Lin say this, Huo Xiaolu didn't feel relaxed in his heart: "An extremely terrifying existence...... Also born...... Mother-in-law, you're not going to let me go find a scary-looking baby, are you? What's the use of that. And since this one is also terrifying, then I shouldn't have jumped out of the fire pit and fallen into the mouth of the tiger, right? ”

Granny Lin smiled and said, "What do you think, you kid." When I say birth, I mean that this person has never appeared in front of the world before, and this is the first time that he has openly entered the outside world. And to say that he is terrifying refers to his strength, not that he is something terrible and evil. ”

"So who is he, and how do I find him?"

"Then it's up to you." Granny Lin's tone was mixed with some sighs, "Remember, this is an opportunity that can affect your life, although your ancestors and I did not see your fate in great detail, but it is generally certain that you will encounter more terrible dangers in the future than now, but it is also accompanied by unpredictable opportunities." All this ...... Look at your own creation. ”

……

Until the next day, Huo Xiaolu got on the train back to school, and he was still thinking about what Granny Lin said. After all, he is just a student who has not much life experience, especially this kind of thing that cannot be explained by common sense makes him foggy. He clenched a piece of topaz around his neck, the warm touch giving him some peace of mind. At this time, Granny Lin gave it to him when he was leaving, and it is said that this jade was given to him by the ancestors of the Huo family, and it can predict bad omens. If this jade is intact, then no matter what happens to him, there is no need to panic, there must be no danger; But if there is any damage to this jade, then there must be some disaster coming to the door, and the more damaged the jade, the more serious the matter. When the time comes, he will have to stay in a popular and yang place, and the ancestors of the Huo family will do their best to help.

Looking at the scenery that kept flashing outside the car window, his heart was a little depressed. He didn't know why he was in this situation, and he didn't know how he was going to spend the rest of his life. He looked at the glass of the car window, and suddenly seemed to be able to see the black gas lurking on his shoulder, ready to move. Putting on the headphones a little irritably, Huo Xiaolu calmed down his emotions while listening to the music. The sky was covered with black clouds, gloomy and gloomy, and the wind and rain were coming.
