A piece of yellow paper, pasted in the middle of my eyebrows, with crooked red symbols painted on it, I like to draw, so my dad will buy me some books to copy as soon as I go to town, there are many famous works, although they are all printed, but I can still feel the spirit in the painting, but I didn't expect that on such a piece of yellow paper, the symbols painted by twists and twists would be so smart.

It was an indescribable feeling, mysterious, solemn, and fearful from the heart, at the same time, I heard a mysterious spell around me constantly sounding, my spirit was much better, I turned my head to look in the direction of the spell, and I saw that this was a ruined temple, leaking everywhere, dilapidated, it was more than three miles away from our home, the mountain temple on Erlang Mountain.

I recognize this temple, last year I went to the town with my father to catch the market, rested outside the temple, I also went into the temple to walk around, the statue of the god is not clear to see, the broken does not look like a look, I looked down, I don't know how to get to this broken temple, and then I saw a man in his forties, flat head, wearing a robe, holding a sword strung with copper coins in his hand, standing behind the god case and drawing, like a big knife.

The robe is cyan, the buttons are not fastened, the feet are wearing three-joint leather shoes, outrageously, the hands also have gloves that expose half of the fingers, and later I learned that it is called a half-fingered glove, the man is actually quite spiritual, in the words of our hometown, big eyes, double eyelids, at a glance is to pay attention to people, is the look on the face, always gives people a lazy feeling.

The copper coin sword looks very cool, the sunlight outside shines in, reflecting on the sword body shining, especially the sword handle There is still a tassel hanging behind the sword, I was staring at him and was fascinated, he saw me wake up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he put on a very cool shape, the copper coin sword in his hand swept forward, and a white candle was lit on the incense case, which was swept by the sword.

Vaguely I saw the golden symbol on the blade of the copper coin sword, similar to the one I was staring at in my head, but it was a little different, after the candle flame swept by the blade, boom! The man shouted, shook his wrist, and recycled the copper coin sword, and the yellow paper passed through the flame of the candle, bang! Burning, the flames are quite big.

The man's left hand hurriedly squeezed a hand, and pointed at the copper coin sword, and the copper coin sword buzzed! The whole sword body kept trembling, and the yellow paper turned into black ash in the shaking, but it was condensed but not dispersed, and it was still at the top of the copper coin sword, and the tip of the man's sword was retracted, and he shouted word by word: "Urgent as a law!" He pointed to a wine glass on the incense table, and the black ash fell into the wine glass, snorting...... sounds.

I don't know if the wine glass is filled with water or wine, the moment the paper ash falls in, the liquid in the wine glass rolls up like boiling water, and a big bubble bubbles emerge, fleeting, pop! After doing all this, the man put the copper coin sword on the incense case, clapped his hands, dragged the Taoist robe on his body, and shouted towards the door: "Lao Xue, the matter is done, come in." ”

I turned my head to look, and my dad walked in from outside the door and asked a little flatteringly, "Master Zhang, are you alright?" ”

"What can I do with me? Your child has eaten ghost food, drink this glass of wine and be fine! As he spoke, he walked towards me with a glass of wine on his face, not like a sincere person...... I was a little confused, turned my head to look at my dad, and the man grabbed my chin, and I opened my mouth, and the liquid in the wine glass was poured down.

It's wine! Because it's so choking, not to mention the hot, there is a particularly bitter taste mixed in it, so smoked that my tears fell, and I just wanted to vomit it, and the man patted my neck, boom! I swallowed it, and the taste was ...... Not to mention, like swallowing a burning charcoal fire, it goes down the stomach and enters the stomach, and then the stomach is like a boiling pot, gurgling...... The churning kept going, the gas was released one after another, the smell was so big, I almost fainted.

"Lao Xue, quickly take your child to find a tree behind it to solve it." The man covered his nose and walked out.

My dad's face was all green, and he dragged me up and ran out, my stomach was still gurgling at first, and soon I had a little colic, and I ran out to find a ...... I won't talk about the rest of the matter, anyway, it's very happy, and I almost didn't collapse at the same time.

Half an hour later, my father helped me back to the broken temple, the man squinted his eyes against the wall of the mountain temple and snorted the sun, did not stand up, and said lazily: "Old Xue, your kid's business is not over yet, you take the family to drink some gruel first, and I will look for you in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you Master Zhang, you see that I am in a hurry, I haven't had time to prepare, and I can't let you work in vain, you give me a number, I'll go home and get ready."

My dad is a sincere person, seeing that I'm fine, the gratitude is mentioned, there is no reason to find someone to do things without spending money, the man smiled, took out a sachet from his arms, but it was smaller than the sachet, with gold thread embroidered with gossip, very good-looking, threw it to my dad and said: "Do everything thoroughly, there is a purification talisman in it, you put it on the child, and he won't be able to see those things in the future." ”

After throwing the sachet to my father, he paused and said, "Give me a thousand yuan, and I'll buy wine to drink." ”

A thousand yuan is not a decimal number, my dad is a forest ranger, it is only about 500 yuan a month, and a man is a thousand, which is equal to my dad's two months' salary, but my dad did not hesitate at all, he agreed to come down, said a few polite words, and carried me home, the man didn't even get up, and waved lazily at my father.

On the way home, I asked my dad curiously, "Dad, who is he?" ”

"He's a Taoist priest......"

My dad doesn't know who the man is, only knows that his surname is Zhang, he is a Taoist, two years ago he came to the mountain temple of Erlang Mountain, he didn't leave, he opened a piece of land, planted some vegetables by himself, and stayed for more than two years, no one knew where he came from, and he didn't know why he wanted to stay here, my business was too urgent, and it was too late to go to the town to ask the great god to jump, so Dr. Wang asked my father to come to this Taoist Zhang.

The children in the mountain village don't go to kindergarten, and during that time, I like to squat at home and watch the 21-inch color TV of the peony brand, there are not a few stations, and the signal is not very good, but as long as there is a station, the old version of Journey to the West will basically be replayed, I am quite envious of Sun Wukong's seventy-two changes, that is my idol, and at the same time hates Tang Seng's cowardice and incompetence.

In Journey to the West, most of the Taoist priests are not good roads, such as the Tai Bai Xing who deceived Sun Wukong to the sky, the Taishang Laojun who beat Sun Wukong with King Kong, Huli Daxian, Luli Daxian, Na Ge San, and the sworn brother of the spider spirit, the eyes full of eyes are all Taoists, so I don't have a good impression of Taoist priests, I didn't expect to meet a real Taoist priest today, and it is too different from what I played on TV.

I was full of curiosity about the Taoist priest surnamed Zhang, and I wondered why he was different from the Taoist priest in Journey to the West? Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a drowsy way, and during this period, I seemed to be helped up by my mother to drink some millet porridge, and I don't remember the rest very clearly.

I woke up at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I was already wearing the little sachet on my chest, tied by a red rope, hanging around my neck, I sat up, and saw my father and mother were tying paper figures, the paper figures were very small, about half a meter high, pierced four, two boys, two virgins, noses, mouths, but no eyes.

Daoist Zhang sat on the head of my pit, snorting...... Seeing that I was awake, I looked at the Shanghai watch on my wrist and said, "The hour is almost up, let Xue Wei wear linen and filial piety, kowtow in three steps, and go to the grave for the old lady." ”

I can wake up, it's okay so fast, in the eyes of my parents, more than the god of the big god, the Taoist priest surnamed Zhang is like a god, without saying a word, dragged me up from the bed, dressed in linen and filial piety, the whole body was white, soon I was disgusted by the whole village, and some frightened eyes out of the house, out of the yard kowtowed, three steps to my grandmother's grave pile, this knock, the brain is broken, want to be lazy, as long as I am lazy, the Taoist priest on the side will give me a kick, let me knock again......

At that time, I thought to myself, Taoist priests are really the same as in Journey to the West, there is no good thing......

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, I went out of the door and knocked on my grandmother's grave, it was dark, and I almost collapsed from exhaustion, but when I passed by other people's graves, I saw the candy on other people's graves, and I couldn't help but be afraid, no wonder my grandmother had so many candies in her pocket, and my feelings were grabbed from other people's graves.

To grandma's grave, Daoist Zhang first let our family kowtow, and then burned paper, burned the paper man, in a trance, I vaguely saw grandma sitting on the stone tablet very embarrassed, looking at me smiled slightly, when the paper man burned, Daoist Zhang burned a piece of yellow paper, the yellow paper burned into ashes, to my grandmother's hands, grandma was very happy, kept bowing to Daoist Zhang thanks.

Daoist Zhang took out a whip from his arms and threw it at the sky, snap! There was a crisp sound, and he shouted: "Zhentian!" Then he threw a whip at the ground: "Towns! Then he threw a whip at my grandmother's tombstone and shouted, "Peace! ”

My grandmother's figure gradually disappeared in these three whips, and I was not interested in Daoist Zhang throwing whips or anything, but I was so curious about the strange symbols he drew on the yellow paper that I couldn't help asking, "What are you painting on the yellow paper?" It's so pretty, can you teach me? ”

Daoist Zhang's eyes narrowed, looked at me and said, "Child, that's not yellow paper, that's a talisman!" ”
