Maoshan sect from the Southern Dynasty Liang to the Northern Song Dynasty, flourishing for hundreds of years, has been the mainstream of Taoism, after the Southern Song Dynasty, gradually declined, but still inherited, and sometimes there is a high Taoist name in the world, Maoshan sect inherited the Shangqing faction, is the Shangqing faction to Maoshan as the development center of another name, introduced into later generations, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Taoist inheritance was strongly rejected by the rulers, so the germination of Maoshan many schools, but the Maoshan sect's "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" has been passed down to this day, known for Maoshan Xianzong, Maoshan sect has a total of 45 generations of heirs, the first generation is called Taishi, The second generation is called the Xuan Master, the third generation is called the True Master, and the subsequent generations are called the Grandmasters.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the dispute between the orthodox Taoism of Maoshan Xianzong and Tantra gradually appeared, Xianzong adhered to the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture" to think about the gods, alchemy, chanting the scriptures, and Tantra to practice secret arts, jade talismans, ancient forbidden mantras are hidden, why today the real Taoist priests are becoming less and less, but those fake Taoist priests, true gods are becoming more and more rampant, so that the world's misunderstanding of Maoshan deepens, the good Maoshan Sect is unrecognizable, smoky miasma, traced back to the source, can not escape the mysterious and legendary secret controversy.

Of course, before I was sixteen years old, I didn't know anything about the Maoshan Sect and the Maoshan Taoist priests......

My name is the seventh day of the first month, a native of Yanzigou, Shandong, I just turned sixteen years old in five or six years, and I said that I was just full, because I had just finished the New Year, and my age was said to be calculated when the grandfather in the village picked up the swaddling clothes from the side of the road, and that day was the seventh day of the first month, and the people in the village casually gave me a name called the seventh day of the first month, and I was an orphan......

Yanzigou eighteen miles village is a small mountain village, originally this village is called Sunzhuang, it is said that because of the early years of the Anti-Japanese War, the devil into the village to kill, the people in this area of Yanzigou are all broken, the whole eighteen miles between the village are ruined and broken, and finally the whole country is liberated, the villagers in this area are sparsely gathered together, that is, this was originally called Sunzhuang village, because the surname is very mixed, so with the population in the village word of mouth, there is now the eighteen miles of the village.

Grandpa Sun is a native of Sun Zhuang, and one of the few people in the village, which I heard when the old people in the village chatted later, I was less than two years old, Grandpa Sun passed away due to illness, I grew up eating a hundred family meals, at that time there was no surplus food in each family, since I can remember, although the people in the village are also willing to give me something to eat, but I feel that the people in the village hate me, in fact, I also understand, one of the important reasons is that I am a well-known unlucky ghost.

At that time, there was no such word "information", so we this poor ravine is dependent on the sky to eat, for superstition, naturally I am convinced, I myself feel that although the fate of the bumpy point, but finally survived, and other people are no different, but the village people do not see it that way, because all the things I have been contaminated with, must be unlucky, seven years old to help the village old uncle herd cattle, the next day their big cattle will be sick and die, in order to repay the village people for taking care of me, in fact, I hope everyone to give more food, I often go to each house to help with housework, chopping firewood for Huang Geng's grandfather, and at night Huang Geng's grandfather took the axe and accidentally smashed his two toes, feeding the pig to the cow, and the pig died of plague three days later......

In short, whoever gets close to me will be unlucky, and those who are unlucky will naturally be a little resentful, and it is common to scold me for being the reincarnation of a broom star, so that no one looks for me when I want to help with things, and almost avoids me, I don't take those titles seriously, because I also hate myself very much, why can't I repay those who help me?

The people in the village did not welcome me into the village, so I could only spend the night on the back slope of the eighteen-mile village, the back hillside is a somewhat dilapidated land temple, the temple is naturally not only me, there is also a fortune teller who claims to be an "iron abacus", his surname is Wu Wei, he is in his early forties, thin and tall, although there is no posture, but often knocks on my head with a broken book, solemnly declares that this land temple is his territory, I just spend the night, and move away immediately if I have a place to live in the future.

Although Mr. Wu Da said this about me, but he didn't really drive me away, the land temple has an inner room, he usually lives in the inner room, I came back at night to sleep on the haystack in the corner of the temple door, Mr. Wu Da is a famous "Mr. Big" in the neighboring eight villages, who has a red and white happy event, are looking for him to play a hexagram to count an hour, so although he lives in a broken temple, but also worry-free, as for me, the unlucky ghost, is also from the mouth of Mr. Wu Da, he said that I was born with bad luck, life to the black star, Anyone who has the slightest contact with me will be contaminated with bad luck, which will cause the six animals to be uneasy, and the worst will be worrying for the people.

I hate and helpless Mr. Wu Da, hating him makes me extremely desperate for life, helplessly acquiescing to his words, Mr. Wu Da is a very serious person, he never likes to please others, all day long with a sallow face to play hexagrams, for this in the nearest dozens of miles of villages more or less offended some people, said that his mouth is vicious, Mr. Wu Da did not care about the mustache and said, this is an iron mouth straight off, I don't believe that it is not knowledgeable.

Over the years, in addition to the east rubbing a little bit of the west family, there is also a profession suitable for me to do, that is, "grave pressing", the customs handed down by the older generation, the death of a large family, there must be a grave presser guarding the new grave for three days within three days of the ground, I do understand some of this custom, saying that there is one less person in the yang world, then there is one more person in the underworld, and after the death of a person, the earth is naturally unfamiliar with life, and the "gold mountain", "silver mountain" and "high-rise compound" sent by the living people will inevitably be disturbed by lonely souls and wild ghosts. So there must be a grave presser around the deceased for three days, originally the grave pressing was called guarding the yin in ancient times, but after the long river of history, the old saying has become grave pressing, this is a low job, but also a very unfortunate job, but it is also my only occupation to make a living.

The requirements of the grave presser are not so simple, in addition to people like me who are born with bad luck, there are only two other kinds of people who can take this job, one is the butcher who kills pigs and sheep, this kind of person is full of anger, which can deter the lonely souls and wild ghosts around the new grave, and the other is the lonely and widowed people, that is, the eight characters are hard, and the fate is six relatives, listen to Mr. Wu Da said, this kind of person itself is extremely yang, and it is difficult for ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts to get close, but this kind of person is not easy to find in reality.

Maybe it's because my bad luck is too strong, I started to take over the work of pressing the grave at the age of ten, but I have never seen a dirty thing, but the pig killer Ma Fuzi in the east of the village will encounter some "Yin You Incident" every time he presses the grave, Yin You is the local vernacular, that is, a place that is not clean or often haunts dirty things or a time period, and there is no actual sentence positioning.

I often take this as a survival plan, and over time I will get used to it, plus I have never seen anything dirty, so I am very bold, it is said that in the early years we died a lot of people in this area, there are naturally a lot of barren mountains and mountains, the ghost incident in the mouth of the older generation is also the theme of ridicule after tea and dinner, our village is on me and the horseman two people do the work of pressing the grave, but I am the one who comes, as long as someone looks for me, I promise for a living, regardless of whether the cemetery of the deceased is desolate or not, and the horseman has to pick it up, It also depends on the amount of money given by the host's family and decides whether to accept it, like the mother-in-law pit in the ravine in the east, if it is there, the master will resolutely not accept it, because that place is very entangled!
