For a long time after his grandfather's death, Zhang Bin never opened the yellow package. He kept it in a drawer in the sub-desk as a treasure, until one day he dreamed of his grandfather. In the dream, Grandpa asked him with a kind smile, "Xiaobin, why haven't you opened the package that Grandpa left for you?" ”

Zhang Bin looked at the back of his grandfather leaving, and shouted that his grandfather woke up from his dream. He dressed in a rough and calm manner for a long time, and after pondering the meaning of his grandfather's words in his dream, he immediately lifted the quilt, ran barefoot to the desk, and took out the package from the drawer.

Zhang Bin held the package with one hand, and gently stroked the yellowed and old yellow cloth with the other, thinking in his heart, "Why did Grandpa let me open it?" What kind of secret is hidden in this? ”

Zhang Bin sat on the edge of the bed, with great curiosity and caution, and opened the yellow cloth layer by layer. When the yellow cloth was completely opened, he was stunned. Inside was an old book of the same color as the package, the cover of the book was rotten, but the words on it were clear.

"The Tao is the Way" is the name of the book. Judging from the name alone, Zhang Bin can probably guess what the book is about.

Sure enough, as Zhang Bin expected, when he finished reading this book all night, he found that what was recorded in the book was the origin of Taoism, the mental formulas of Taoism, the various formations of Taoism, and various ghosts and demons talking about the method of surrender. Although he couldn't understand it, it still tugged at his heart and made him absent-minded for a day.

On this day, because he didn't sleep all night, Zhang Bin fell asleep on his desk not long after class. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he vaguely felt someone slapping him on the back of the head. At first, he thought it was a teacher, but when he rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked sideways, he realized that it was his grandfather standing at his desk.

Grandpa still looked at him with such a kind smile and said, "Stinky boy, if you don't go to class well, you know how to sleep, and what if you can't get into college when the time comes." ”

"Grandpa, is it really you?" Zhang Bin stood up excitedly and asked happily.

"If it's not me, who else could it be?"

"Then you still say me, aren't you all the fault?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Bin complained.

"Why did I hurt it?" Grandpa asked with a puzzled smile.

"It's not like last night you asked me in a dream why you didn't open what you left me. When I woke up, I opened it and spent the whole night reading the book. Zhang Bin replied with some grievances.

"I just let you open it, and I didn't let you finish it in one night." Grandpa touched the back of Zhang Bin's head, and continued, "Then you're done, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Bin nodded vigorously and replied.

"Do you understand?"

"......No," Zhang Bin shook his head vigorously.

"It's okay, grandpa will teach you slowly in the future. But before that, you have to keep the Taoist mind in mind, understand? After Grandpa said this, it quietly disappeared like smoke blown by the wind.

"Grandpa...... Grandpa......" Zhang Bin shouted as he looked around.

When Zhang Bin felt something on the top of his head, he woke up and found that the classmates around him were staring at him in surprise, and the teacher looked at him with some anger and said sternly, "Zhang Bin, the teacher knows that your grandfather is gone, and you are very sad, so I didn't wake you up when you went to class, but you shouldn't affect other classmates in class like this." ”

After Zhang Bin apologized again and again, the teacher did not punish him, but asked him to sit down and listen to the class quietly so as not to disturb other students. It is only now that he understands that the grandfather he saw before and now is in a dream.

From that day on, every night his grandfather would appear in Zhang Bin's dream, explain to him the places he didn't understand in the Taoist mind, and teach him how to draw talismans and seals.

For a long time, Zhang Bin didn't believe that this was true, knowing that one night on the way home from self-study, he used the method that his grandfather taught him in a dream to open his eyes, and only after seeing the hideous and terrifying and pale and cold grimaces did he really believe it. It was also from that night that he became more assiduous. Grandpa was very pleased to see him so hard and diligent, and he also passed on all his lifelong learning to him.

Zhang Bin devoted all his time to studying Taoism, so naturally he was not admitted to university. After graduating from high school, he enlisted as a conscription for two years before returning home to work as a security guard in an upscale neighborhood in the city. In the first few months, everything went well, and at the same time, we took good care of him, and he was quite happy.

One day, Zhang Bin was patrolling the community as usual, and he saw a familiar back in front of a villa. When the man lifted his long hair, he recognized it at a glance, although he only saw the woman's face. It was his high school classmate Dai Jing, a famous goddess at school. Whenever he has spare time, he is the one who gets together and talks about the most.

Zhang Bin admires Dai Jing like other male classmates, but he has never confessed for many reasons. Now Dai Jing lives in a villa, but he is a small security guard, which inevitably makes him feel inferior. He wanted to get around here, but Dai Jing saw him and beckoned him from a distance to stop him.

Zhang Bin trotted all the way over, looked at Dai Jing and said with an embarrassed smile, "What a coincidence, I met you here." ”

"What a coincidence......" Dai Jing said with a slight smile as she stroked her long hair.

"You live here?" Zhang Bin looked at Dai Jing's familiar smile and asked.

"Well...... Oh, yes. Dai Jing nodded slightly and replied.

"It seems that you have mixed well after graduation, unlike me who is still a little security guard." Zhang Bin shook his security uniform and said sarcastically.

After Zhang Bin said this, Dai Jing's smile became unnatural, as if she was a little embarrassed, and replied, "Where...... That's just so. ”

Zhang Bin and Dai Jing chatted for a long time, and a luxury Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped in front of the villa. A middle-aged man who had made a fortune walked over after getting out of the car, Dai Jing looked a little flustered when she saw the person, and said to Zhang Bin, "I will have time to talk in the future." ”

When Zhang Bin nodded and said yes, Dai Jing had already greeted him warmly, playing with the middle-aged man's arm, and said coquettishly, "Honey, you're back." ”

"Who is this?" As they passed by Zhang Bin, the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Bin and asked.

Dai Jing glanced at Zhang Bin, and at the same time replied weakly, "As far as the community security is concerned, I just happened to patrol here." ”

Zhang Bin understood this, although they had left each other's phone calls before this, Zhang Bin never took the initiative to contact her. Until one day in the middle of the night, Dai Jing suddenly called him and said that there was a ghost in his room.
