When our He family was in the old lady's time, they were also a famous family, civil officials have been salt transport envoys, military attaches have been command envoys, and my grandfather's generation has also had traditional Chinese medicine and professors.

The second grandfather's medical skills are very famous, and the officials and people of 180 miles are admired, and cars and sedan chairs are parked outside the gate every day.

The third grandfather and the sixth grandfather participated in the boxing of the Boxer when they were young, and it is said that the third grandfather played the best rope dart, and could nail flies to the wall from ten meters away. The sixth grandfather's unique activity is on the buttocks, the wall is more than one person high, as long as his buttocks swing, he will collapse in response, the old brothers are old and begin to accept apprentices to teach boxing, almost all the men of our He family practice boxing, and the female dependents also practice. Later, young people within a radius of several miles also came to apprentice, and the yard at home could not accommodate it, so they moved to the village to beat the wheat field, and the villagers put down the dishes and chopsticks in the evening to see the handle.

My uncles and uncles, including my unreliable father, couldn't get close to four or five young men when I was young. Our grandchildren have been following the fun since they can walk, and they are all familiar with big Hong boxing, small Hong boxing, swords and sticks.

At that time, martial arts became a trend in our hometown, firstly, it was a trend that has existed since ancient times, resisting some rogues in the years of war, and secondly, there was no entertainment and physical fitness.

I haven't seen the seventh grandfather, according to my uncle, he participated in the Eighth Road, scout, double box guns, guns are good, and the platoon commander was found by the Kuomintang on the way back to the camp during a reconnaissance, was besieged in a hut, the two ran out of bullets, and finally were shot to death by the Kuomintang.

It's just that my own grandfather, He Siye, who is the fourth in line, is idle all day long, and likes to fool around with some indiscriminate chickens and dogs, and he lost his family in a few years. I didn't expect to be a blessing in disguise, just after liberation, other grandfathers were either landlords or capitalists, and they didn't take off their hats when they died, but only my family was classified as rich peasants, and my grandmother often said that this was the benefit of grandpa's homework and virtue.

My father's name is He Jincai, and my grandfather probably wanted to go crazy when he wanted to get rich, so he gave my father such a name. I didn't expect my dad to be better than my grandfather, he likes to sing, and he has saved a grass stage team to rob tombs while singing.

My dad was the eldest son in the family, and before I was born, my grandfather made a rule that the children of his grandchildren would not be allowed to watch it, on the grounds that it would delay playing cards. So after I was born, I followed my parents' troupe to perform everywhere, and sometimes my father took me with him when he robbed tombs.

When I was more than a year old, I contracted a strange disease that I can't name, and I almost died of a high fever that did not go away for several days.

It just so happened that my dad was not at home in those days, and my mother had no master, so I heard my grandmother invite a famous local goddess to come to the house to see a doctor.

The goddess said that the baby is too small, and the heavenly spirit cover has not been closed, so it is easy to see dirty things, and the evil things enter the body, and the root of the disease falls.

As soon as I said this, my mother understood, and quickly begged the god to save me.

The goddess began to cast a spell to exorcise ghosts, asked my mother to bring a bowl of water, put it at the head of my bed, use three chopsticks, put them together, stand in the bowl, and began to recite the names of the deceased people in the village.

When talking about Mrs. Li, who had just died a month ago in the village, the chopsticks stood in the water.

The whole family stared at each other and didn't dare to make a sound.

The goddess negotiated with Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li, I know that you like the baby, the baby has no grievances with you, don't follow him, where should you go, ah." ”

The three chopsticks still stood still.

The goddess's tone changed, and she scolded sharply: "Mrs. Li, don't be embarrassed, force me to be hard, do you really want to see my methods?!"

Everyone stared at the chopsticks, which were still motionless.

The goddess shouted, take my magic weapon!

At this time, the chopsticks shook and fell slowly.

The goddess breathed a sigh of relief and said to my mother, splashing the water outside the gate, and the chopsticks and bowls were on fire.

The goddess stayed for lunch, and my grandfather went to the town to buy wine and meat.

However, I did not get better, I still had a high fever, and even worse, my teeth were clenched, my face turned purple, and my breathing became weaker and weaker.

The goddess shook her head: "It seems that it's not just Mrs. Li's business. ”

"What then?" my mom was crying.

The goddess frowned and said, "I'll try to call the soul again, and the rest depends on the baby's own creation." ”

My dad rushed back from outside at this time, with a smell of earth, and after listening to my mother's talk about my condition, he didn't care: "It's okay, our He family's life is hard." ”

As he spoke, he took out the pendant from his bosom.

"I heard an old Taoist in Laoshan say that this thing is to ward off evil spirits, and it is taken out at a critical time, but today's posture will not work if you don't take it out. ”

Everyone didn't know what it was, but later my grandmother said that my father had brought it back from the army and never said where it came from.

So, my dad brought me this monster pendant.

My dad advised: "Master Dao said, as long as you wear it, you can't take it off, you have to wear it for a lifetime, and if you take it off, something more dangerous may happen when you take it off." ”

After listening to me, Master Li picked up the pendant on my chest again, examined it for a long time, and muttered, "I seem to have heard of this divine beast." ”

Then he frowned, searching hard in his memory: "I seem to remember that I appeared once fifty years ago." ”

I was shocked, wasn't that the time before and after my dad's army recovered?

"Did something happen to the subway in Beijing 50 years ago?" I blurted out.

Master Li was even more surprised: "How do you know?"

I didn't understand the situation yet, and I didn't want my family to be publicized, so I hurriedly covered it up: "I heard about it." ”

Master Li shook his head: "That matter is very secret, and ordinary people won't know about it, since you don't want to talk about it, just leave it." ”

I thought to myself, when I asked my father about the situation, I said to Master Li, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know what happened." ”

Master Li stood up: "At that time, when the subway line 1 was being built, it was said that there was a blowout accident, some people were missing, and a series of strange things happened. ”

"What does it have to do with this pendant?"

"It is said that there is a divine beast pendant that appeared in that accident, I don't know what the specific situation is, but our fellow masters have calculated it by observing the sky at night, and it is inconvenient for me to say more about the specifics, as for whether it is on you, I am not sure, and I have to check what kind of divine beast it is. In addition, whether it has anything to do with you or not, you should not show people easily, it will lead to death, because it is by no means an ordinary divine beast pendant!"

Master Li's expression was solemn: "No matter what the situation, don't leave your body, the divine beast is here, do you understand what I mean?"

I nodded, understanding that the second half of the sentence that the master couldn't say was that the divine beast was my life, and I would be finished if I left me, and suddenly my heart felt like a stone.

"I'd like to see something else about you. Master Li stared at me.

"I don't have anything else on me. ”

Master Li stood in front of me and pointed to my chest.

"Unfasten the second button. "It's just a commanding tone.

I thought to myself, there's nothing wrong with this master, what are you doing with my big man's breasts?

However, looking at his posture, I don't untie it, he's going to do it himself.

I obediently unbuttoned the second button of my shirt.

Master Li ripped off my clothes and stared at the cinnabar mole on my chest.

"When did it start?"

"The family said that it had been since that serious illness. ”

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, sometimes it's itchy on cloudy days. ”

"Isn't it still growing?"

"It's slow, it hasn't changed much in a few years. ”

"Do you think it looks like something?"

I was shocked, I never had this idea.

"Like what?"

"It's hard to say, it's like a face of something. ”

I was startled, and quickly looked down, but I didn't see it.

"Maybe in a few years it will be obvious. Master Li stood up and paced around the room.

I felt uneasy: "Master, what you said is too scary. ”

Master Li: "Maybe I'm thinking too much. ”

"It has something to do with that pendant, too?"

"I'm going to check this again, I've seen a similar pattern in a book before, but I've never seen the real thing. What I can tell you is that this is a divine beast, made of thousand-year-old turtle shells, if it is really the kind of divine beast I said, it can ward off evil and resist all kinds of poisons. ”

I then told Master Li about the encounter with Lao Li and the fan sister.

"Master, does what I've encountered in the past few days have anything to do with this pendant?"

"There should be a relationship. Master Li nodded: "It's best for me to meet the two of them for a while." ”

"Well, I'm trying to figure it out, so what should I do now?"

"When you meet the two people you said, just be careful, there are divine beasts hanging in the pendant, and they can't move you yet. ”

I nodded: "I have one more question, how do you know I'm wearing a pendant?"

Master Li pointed to the three pillars of incense in front of the Buddhist shrine, and he didn't know when it went out halfway through the fire.
