Chapter 012: The Four Phases Gather in Yin
I have to say that the car with the sacrificial board is convenient, and the traffic police are turning a blind eye, so the road is unimpeded and soon arrives at the destination, Yuelai Town.
A large area of the town has been demolished and converted into a community, so it is now called Yuelai Community.
From afar, I saw a girl dressed in a blue school uniform standing at the gate, I think she must be the granddaughter of Li Lao.
We slowly parked the car in front of her, and Wang Wenwen poked his head out and asked, "Hello, is it Miss Li Huanhuan?" ”
The girl was stunned for a moment and said cautiously: "Well, you are the chief of the royal road?" ”
"It's down there!"
Wang Wenwen got out of the car unhurriedly, shook his hair, and stood with his hands in his hands, making a master posture of a fairy wind and bones, and two words immediately popped up in my mind: "pretending to be forced".
After greeting each other with this Li Huanhuan, she took us directly to the direction of her house, there is nothing special about this community, and the buildings look very new because they were only built this year, there are children playing on the lawn, and there are elderly people exercising or dancing in the square, a peaceful and comfortable feeling.
After following Li Huanhuan for a while, we were stunned by the scene in front of us, only to see that there was a bulging hill bag in the middle of the depths of the community, and there was a very eye-catching old tiled house on it. The first impression of this house is as if it were not the product of this era, it is like a black mole on the face of a beautiful woman, it is really a bad sight, the roof tiles and adobe facades are covered with moss, and the door is made of wood, and its original color has been lost due to the passage of time. There is only one possibility for such a spectacle in the newly built community, and that is the "nail household".
Li Huanhuan saw me in a daze, so he said, "Sir, it's already here." ”
That's when I reacted, "Oh, oh. Hehe~"
As soon as you enter the house, you will see a coffin, a dark room burned to the dead, and there is a photo of Li Lao on it, four old people with white hair and beard sitting together blowing mourning suona, and a man and a woman kneeling in hemp in front of the brazier crying dead and alive, in stark contrast to the three men and one woman who are playing mahjong in the room, although they are also wearing hemp, but I can't see a trace of sadness on their faces, but the anger of losing money and the joy of winning.
I followed Wang Wenwen and Dai Gaopeng around the house, and came to a small room on the right, and I saw only a tattered television set and a table and a few chairs.
I don't know what Wang Wenwen and Dai Gaopeng are looking at when they wander around the house for a long time, and the girl named Li Huanhuan has been following us, so I'm embarrassed to ask.
"Let's go! Take a look outside the house! ”
So we followed Wang Wenwen to the yard again, and I finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”
He suddenly glared at me, and asked Li Huanhuan to go back to the house first before he came out with four words - four elephants gather yin!
I asked, "Four elephants gather in yin?" What do you mean? ”
The so-called four elephants gather yin refers to: the southeast, northwest and northwest belong to the highlands, and the middle depression is trapped in a dark and damp place without seeing sunlight for many years, and finally gathers a large amount of yin qi and becomes a fierce land. This is the gathering of the four elephants.
Wang Wenwen pointed to Li Lao's house and said: "You see that this house is short, east, west, north and south are all high-rise residents, not to mention that there is no sunlight for many years, and all the sewage pipes of the surrounding households pass through here, people living in this kind of place for a long time will lead to weak yang energy, three fires are not prosperous, easy to see ghosts, unlucky, riddled with diseases, and finally tortured to death by yin qi and dirty things!" ”
I swallowed and asked, "Are there a lot of ghosts here?" ”
Dai Gaopeng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yaoyang, look at the moss in this house, there must be twenty or thirty ghosts in a place where the yin qi is so heavy. But don't worry, it's all some little ghosts who can't make a climate. ”
Wang Wenwen took out a new talisman from his satchel and handed it to me, and then said: "Gao Peng and I will go to the cemetery in the back mountain of the community, and you will stay here and wait for us to come back!" ”
I was surprised: "No, no, no, there are ghosts and dead people here, I'm afraid!" ”
Wang Wenwen said impatiently: "Aren't all the talismans given to you!" You're still afraid of a hammer! If you feel cold, put on more clothes, if you hear someone calling your name outside the door, ignore him, if there is one more person in the house, you pretend to sleep, and if there is an amulet, it will not come near you! In a word, wait for us to come back! ”
After saying that, he ran away with a cigarette.
I looked at the amulet in my hand, sighed in my heart and muttered to myself: "Hey~ Mom sells batches, I hope it's okay......"
When Wang Wenwen and Dai Gaopeng left, I instantly felt the temperature around me drop sharply, and I shivered all over my body. You know, I'm the fat in the eyes of all the ghosts, and I have to say that guy is so irresponsible, I immediately went into the house and closed the door after putting on the amulet.
……
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the mourning team and the funeral orchestra received the money and left work, and the three men and one woman playing mahjong in the back room started a new round of fighting.
I'm shrunk in the corner of the wall alone and playing with my mobile phone, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, guarding a coffin and playing games has always been bad.
When I saw that the mobile phone still had 10% of the battery, I didn't dare to play, in case the old man in the coffin suddenly jumped out, I would use it to call Wang Wenwen for help.
Looking at Li Huanhuan's haggard face through the faint light of the fire, she has been kneeling in hemp in front of her grandfather's portrait from beginning to end, burning paper, and playing mahjong in the back room, which is in stark contrast.
She noticed that I was looking at her, so she smiled politely at me, and I wanted to break the silence and said, "Eh~ Little sister, you are really a filial girl, Grandpa Li will be very proud." ”
As soon as she said this, she cried and called grandpa vigorously. I didn't expect this, I wanted to go up to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say, so I sat awkwardly and watched her cry.
She suddenly wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, looked at me and asked, "Are you all Taoists with low emotional intelligence?" ”
"Huh? What? ”
She added: "When I see a girl crying, I don't know how to comfort her." ”
Only then did I realize that she was saying that I had low emotional intelligence. So I scratched my head and explained, "Oh, we are very quiet. ”
She smiled and said, "But you don't look like a quiet person." I guess you're either low EQ, a newbie, or a ......."
I know what she wants to say, to be honest, I don't look like a Taoist priest now, and Wang Wenwen and Dai Gaopeng They also look too young, just nine of the three of me in this group of ten people will think that they are charlatans and gods.
Because of the thinking limitations of movies and novels, the Taoist priests in the public's impression should be the kind of masters who look like they are awesome and coaxing with a long beard and a Taoist robe.
Seeing that I was silent for a long time, she said again: "Do people really have souls? ”
"Of course!"
I answered this question quickly and confidently. She threw the last piece of paper money into the brazier, got up and walked slowly to me and asked, "Can you help me see grandpa?" ”
"Huh? This ......"
I was petrified in an instant, and my heart said, fuck me! It's too late for Lao Tzu to hide, you still want to see it. But I can understand it, because after all, it was her own grandfather, but the problem is how can I have that ability!
So I explained truthfully: "You're right, I'm a novice, I won't, when my two senior brothers come back, you can ask them." ”
She looked at me with a look of disappointment in her eyes, and I knew it was more suspicion and disgust with liars. So I said something I didn't even believe in myself in order to resolve the embarrassment.
"What, although I am not good at learning, I can help you convey what you want to say."
"Really?!"
She excitedly grabbed my hand, and I pretended to be calm and nodded.
She suddenly said to me, "You just tell grandpa that I was admitted to college!" I didn't disappoint him! ”
I nodded again.
"And there's more......
Grandpa, Huanhuan is sorry for you! I'm really useless, watching your illness get worse day by day, I can't do anything about it as a granddaughter, and let you suffer so much alone......"
She cried and spoke for more than half an hour, and I probably understood. Mr. Li was a sanitation worker before his death, and his wife died early.
Those who play mahjong are the children of Li Lao, and they are pulled by Li Lao alone from birth to adulthood, so you can imagine how much effort Li Lao has put in and how much hardship he has endured.
According to a survey conducted by today's society, 71.63% of young people believe that the meaning of filial piety is "good at supporting parents". Some people offer to give their parents enough money, some say to ensure their health, and some people say that the old man is an "old child", and everything will be fine every few days.
In fact, filial piety also includes the understanding and comfort of spiritual life, the emotional harmony with parents, and the true feelings of children who are dependent on their parents in the depths of their hearts. And these four bought a new house, not only turned the old man away, but also never went to see the old man during the New Year's holiday.
Today, filial piety, like other treasures left by our ancestors, has gradually been abandoned, and even regarded as outdated and outdated. Although there are many people who are very filial to their parents on the surface, but in fact they are just doing it for outsiders to see, and people who are truly filial to their parents are really rare in these days. When the old man passed away, he spent money to hire a few mourners, and then asked a Taoist priest to find a place to bury and kowtow twice......
I casually practiced a few spells, took Li Huanhuan's hand and said to her: "Grandpa just asked me to tell you, don't cry, you must learn to be strong, and study hard to become a pillar of the country in the future." ”
Of course, I made it all up myself, and I can only comfort her in this way.
