Zhao Yunhe was excited and hurriedly ran out of the house. He ran to the gate of the courtyard, only to see the guards of the courtyard holding the chains of the wolfdogs. The wolfhound barked incessantly and made a gesture to pounce forward.

Zhao Yunhe asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The nurse said, "Just now an old man and a woman passed by here, and the dog suddenly went berserk. ”

"Didn't they come in?" Zhao Yunhe asked.

The person at the nursing home said, "No. They went to the door, looked at it, and then turned and left. ”

Zhao Yunhe was confused. Obviously the old man and the woman entered the living room, how could the people guarding the gate see them go to the door and leave? Could it be that he is playing tricks again?

Since then, the old man often brought that woman to harass Zhao Yunhe≤ inadvertently, Zhao Yunhe would find that there was suddenly an extra woman in the house. The cold face seemed to immediately cool the room to an uncomfortable level. When eating, drinking, writing, reading, and looking in the mirror while sleeping, she would suddenly appear in front of him or behind him, startling Zhao Yunhe.

This made Zhao Yunhe's spirit unable to relax for a moment, and he was like a tight string every day.

He was afraid that the old man would harass his daughter, so he ordered someone to send his daughter to Dayun Mountain early. Dayun Mountain is the place where the Taoist temple is located, and ordinary ghosts dare not break in. He had time to stay in Dayun Mountain for a few days, but he was entangled in complicated affairs and couldn't live in Dayun Mountain for too long.

He invited the Taoist priest of Dayun Mountain to come to his house to do the Fa and paste the talisman, but it had no effect. The woman had tore off the charm from the wall in front of him, ate it bit by bit like a biscuit, and burped. The old man squinted at the woman after eating the spell, and said with a wicked smile: "Boss Zhao also underestimates us too much." If this charm can stop us, it is that ants can trample elephants to death, and their hair can tie up buffaloes. Hahaha. The female ghost I raised is not an ordinary ghost, but a resentful ghost who dies in vain, and she doesn't blink to death. I also used the method of corpse slapping the ground to make her resentment the strongest, so that her resentment was as strong as an ocean of fire that could burn everything in the world. Can these bowls of water extinguish the fire in her heart? ”

Grandpa learned talismans, and when he taught his grandfather to draw talismans, he said a sentence called "If you don't know how to draw talismans, you will make ghosts and gods laugh; If you know how to draw a talisman, you will be shocked by the ghosts and gods." It means that the talismans drawn by people who can't draw talismans have no effect, but will make the ghosts and gods laugh, let alone be afraid; And the talisman drawn by the person who can draw the talisman will make the ghosts scream in fright.

Charms don't have an effect on the shape and color of the drawing, but it depends on the skill of the person who draws the charm. It's a bit like pinching. In the same way of calculation, some people can calculate accurately, and some people can't calculate accurately.

There are hundreds of ways to draw talismans, some of them have to pinch the trick and think that the gods come with the pen, and some have to step on the gang, chant mantras and so on. The paper, ink, pen and other aspects are very exquisite, the procedure is complex, the method is cumbersome, enough to make the average person dizzy.

Not only that, but charms can not be drawn at any time, and there is also the importance of choosing the day and time. There are four days of the year when you should not draw a symbol, if you draw a symbol on these four days, it will not only be ineffective, but also harmful. These four days are the ninth day of the third month, the second day of the sixth month of the sixth month, the sixth day of the ninth month, and the second day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. The Dragon Boat Festival is an auspicious day for drawing talismans and making talismans, and painting talismans is mostly carried out on this day.

When my grandfather's friend Crooked Taoist was still alive and had dexterous legs, my grandfather would be asked by Crooked Taoist to help draw talismans shortly after dinner during the Dragon Boat Festival. Most of the paintings that day were ghost exorcisms, and the amount to be used for half a year a day would be drawn so that they could be used slowly in the future. Grandpa's ability to draw talismans was taught by his grandfather, so the crooked Taoist priest thought that the talismans drawn by his grandfather were better than those he drew himself.

It is best to choose sub-time or hai-time for drawing symbols. It is said that at this time it is the time when the yang disappears and the yin and yang are long, and the aura is the heaviest, and it can also be used at noon, mao, and unitary.

Grandpa thinks that there are two reasons why the spell drawn by the Taoist priest of Dayun Mountain is useless. First, as the old man said, the resentment of the female ghost is too great, and ordinary charms can't stop her; In addition, the skill of the Taoist priest of Dayun Mountain to draw talismans is insufficient, resulting in the power of the talisman is not strong enough.

Although the Jiuyi Elder has a profound cultivation, he usually doesn't meet anyone, not even Zhao Yunhe. Moreover, his ability to communicate between past and present lives lies in the communication of past and present lives, and he does not have much involvement in talismans.

Zhao Yunhe had thought of a lot of ways, but for the old man and the female ghost, all his methods were in vain.

Due to the constant harassment of the old man and the female ghost, Zhao Yunhe quickly lost weight and stood tall.

Grandpa asked Zhao Yunhe: "Since he came to propose, have you ever asked him about his birthday?" Did you ask him where his family lives? ”

Zhao Yunhe flicked his sleeves and said, "What is Ma Xiucai talking about?" I never thought of marrying my daughter to him, so how could I ask him where he lived on his birthday? Are you going to make me promise him? ”

Grandpa said: "Boss Zhao, of course I won't let you compromise." Ask him about it, and I'll be a little sure when I deal with him. I don't know much about him or the Ghost Fight, so I don't know how to deal with him. ”

"I, Zhao Yunhe, have never bowed my head to anyone in my life! I can't ask that! Zhao Yunhe said.

Grandpa said, "You don't need to ask, let me ask." ”

"You ask?"

Grandpa nodded and said, "I'll wait with you for the old man to appear." You say, since you are proposing, you must have a matchmaker. I'll be the matchmaker in the middle, and I'll ask the other party's birthday and others. ”

Zhao Yunhe said unhappily: "I took the initiative to find a matchmaker, isn't it equivalent to bowing my head to him to show weakness?" ”

"It's not a show of weakness, it's a roundabout attack." Daddy persuaded.

Zhao Yunhe thought about it and said helplessly: "Okay." That's all there is to it. ”

Grandpa asked Zhao Yunhe when the old man would appear.

Zhao Yunhe said that he was elusive and had no fixed number.

So, my grandfather stayed at Zhao's house, eating at the same table, walking on the same road, living in the same room, like a personal bodyguard who never left, just waiting for the old man to appear.

Four days later, my father was discussing a calligraphy and painting with Zhao Yunhe, and Zhao Yunhe's eyes suddenly became strange. He stared straight at a mirror on the table.

Daddy immediately smelled an imperceptible cold.

Because Daddy and Zhao Yunhe stood at different angles, Daddy didn't find anything unusual about the mirror. He walked to Zhao Yunhe's side, looked in the mirror again, and saw a woman's stiff face behind Zhao Yunhe!

Rao is father has seen a lot of elves and ghosts, and when he saw the face full of resentment in the mirror, he couldn't help but shudder. In my father's opinion, although the face was fair, it was like a handful of straw ash deliberately smeared by some bad-hearted person, destroying the beauty.

This year, my father is no longer confused. After another forty years or so, Grandpa saw a similar straw gray color on Millet's face.

However, this straw gray color is not visible to everyone. In Zhao Yunhe's eyes, the dead man's face was clean. Each person has a different physique, and some of the scenes they see are slightly different.

Grandpa covered the mirror with one hand, pointed to the calligraphy and painting with the other, and said: "The appearance of this person's writing is already good, but unfortunately the pen power is still a little worse, and the ink used has no shade or level." Just like the fist embroidered legs of a person who practices martial arts, the routine looks like that is already the same thing, but it falls down with a slight push. ”

Zhao Yunhe is a smart person, he realized what his father meant, quickly calmed down, and continued to discuss calligraphy and painting with his father, ignoring the dead face.

Seeing that the two were still discussing calligraphy and painting, the female ghost immediately turned to opposite them and stared coldly at Zhao Yunhe and her father.

Grandpa still commented on calligraphy and paintings, and talked endlessly.

Zhao Yunhe cooperated and frequently bowed his head.

Finally, the old man couldn't help but show up. He stepped in from the door and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there to be a distinguished guest today!" I didn't want to bother you, but you never leave Boss Zhao an inch by foot, did you deliberately go against me? ”

Grandpa raised his head and said to the old man, "It's not wrong to do it on purpose, but I'm really waiting for you to show up." I didn't expect you to hide, hide, hide, come and go several times, and finally come out. ”

The old man was surprised by his grandfather's words, and said in surprise: "How do you know that I have come and left several times?" ”

Zhao Yunhe was also stunned. He thought that the old man would appear without taboos, but he didn't expect the old man to postpone coming here because of Ma Xiucai's existence. The old man did not show up for four days, which was indeed relatively rare in the past. But Zhao Yunhe thought that the old man had gone to fight ghosts with others, so he put him aside for the time being.

Grandpa smiled: "When I was having dinner with Boss Zhao the day before yesterday, I found that there was an extra pair of chopsticks on the table, so I knew that a guest was coming." But no guests came that day. I asked Boss Zhao if anyone had said that he was going to visit him today, but he didn't come. Boss Zhao said no. I knew it was you who came and went. ”

"You actually use chopsticks for divination?" The old man looked at his father suspiciously.

I've seen chopsticks once as a sign that a guest is coming. I was at my grandfather's house, and before the meal, I noticed that there was an extra pair of chopsticks on the table, and the chopsticks were neatly arranged, as if someone was about to pick them up and use them. The strange feeling can only be understood beyond words. My grandfather also happened to see it, and seemed to understand my strange feeling, so he touched my head and said with a smile: "It seems that there are still guests coming today." Sure enough, before the meal was finished, a cousin came. He used those pair of chopsticks to eat and pick up vegetables, as if those chopsticks were waiting for him.

Later, I encountered a few times when I took more chopsticks, but the chopsticks were either put away immediately or scattered. Even if it's not scattered, it just doesn't have that strange feeling, it doesn't feel as if it's waiting for someone to come. Maybe I've grown up feeling sluggish, or maybe I'm really lacking that feeling. The feeling of chopsticks waiting for guests to come has come once in my life so far.
