Of course I don't believe the words of the old walnut: "What are you talking nonsense? The old generation said, 'Demons fear the wicked.'" If the beard is not ruthless or fierce, is it still called a beard? ”

"!" The old walnut opened his mouth and scolded: "No matter how powerful the beard is, can he only follow people and ghosts?" ”

"You can hit evil spirits outside the mountains, but the beard lives in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, and he doesn't go down the mountain once for a month; When encountering the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, it is common for them to drill deeper into the woods, hide for three or five months, and it is also common to run into evil spirits! ”

"Before liberation, everyone knew that the deeper the forest, the more strange things there were, and the deeper you went into the mountains, the fewer opportunities you had to come out. The beard is all a knife licking blood business, who hasn't had human blood on their hands? People who have killed people are more likely to run into evil than ordinary people. In a lock, if there is no one who can deal with ghosts and gods, don't think about coming out again after entering the deep mountains once. If he doesn't have the ability to suppress the ghosts and gods, why does the master sit in the second place in the locks? ”

When I heard this, my eyes lit up, and I pestered the old walnut alive and dead, and I wanted to learn the skills of Panshan Eagle from him.

Actually, I didn't really think too much about it at that time, that is, I was a child, and when I encountered something that I thought was fun, I wanted to follow along.

"You want to be my apprentice?" Old Walnut looked at me for a long time before nodding: "It's okay, you have courage, righteousness, and your life is hard enough, and you don't have anything to worry about, it's good to be my apprentice." However, I have an enemy, and if I meet ...... in the future."

Old Walnut thought for a long time, and finally grinned: "Where is the beard now, what are you doing to scare you with the rivers and lakes?" It's a pity if I carry this skill in a coffin...... Let's go, I'll take you to Baishan. ”

Old Walnut took out a bundle of yellow incense, yellow paper, and a pot of wine from his house, and got a live chicken, and took me to the head of the village.

I walked two steps before I asked Old Walnut, "Where are we going?" ”

The old walnut head didn't reply: "Go and cut off the slope." ”

I startled old Walnut - it was a place for evil!

The head-cutting slope is not really a place to cut off people's heads. It is called because there is a stone at the bottom of the slope, and that stone is like a man who has fallen on his knees with his hands tied upside down. The position of the man's neck is right on the edge of the river, and the river pushes a pit right in front of the stones. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a corpse that has been pulled to the river and cut off its head.

What's even stranger is that no matter how much snow falls, it can't bury the "back beam" of that stone. Looking at the stones on a snowy day is like letting the snow bury half of the corpse, and it is still steaming white.

The locals would rather walk two miles more than go up and down the hill along the head-cutting slope. They all said that if they stepped on that "headless" stone, they would hit the evil spirit.

What is old Walnut leading me there?

When he got to the place, the old walnut put the thing on the ground against the dead man's stone: "After a while, you will kowtow to the stone, and if I don't say stop, you won't stop." ”

I was stunned for a moment: "Don't we have to worship Master Zu?" ”

"Panshan Eagle, if you don't worship the ancestor, you will worship the guillotine."

The beard is not without an ancestral master, and the ancestor of the Northeast beard worship is the ancestor of Bodhidharma. It sounds strange, but it's true. Bodhidharma ancestor is one of the eighteen Arhats, the eighteen Arhats robbed the rich and helped the poor, and the beard worshiped the Bodhidharma ancestor in order to flaunt himself as a righteous bandit.

The old walnut chattered and said: "Nine times out of ten the bearded people can't escape the knife on the head, they are either chopped off by the government or die in the hands of others, and worshipping the guillotine is a serious matter." ”

"There's a ready-made head-cutting slope here, and that's a good thing. If not, we'll have to cut down a tree, and when we're down, cut off the crown and use it as a dead man without a head. ”

The old walnut lit the incense, and stood behind the dead man's stone with the rooster in his hand: "Kneel down and kowtow." ”

As soon as I knelt down, the old walnut twisted off the rooster's head, let go of his hand, and threw the headless rooster on the dead man's stone.

I didn't dare to look at it more, so I quickly lowered my head and kowtowed. When I got up for the first time, I saw the headless rooster running down the dead man's rock, blood spurting all over the ground.

As soon as I kowtowed three times, I heard the old walnut shout: "Okay! ”

When I looked up, the chicken was lying on top of the Dead Man's Rock, its neck pressed against the broken cut of the stone, and the blood of the chicken was flowing down the stone; From a distance, it looks like a person who has just been beheaded.

The old walnut stepped on the stone, kicked the rooster into the river, and jumped in front of me across the ditch: "You were born to be the material for the Panshan eagle!" Let's go home! ”

Old Walnut told me that letting the rooster run off the guillotine is to see if the grandfather accepts me. If the rooster stops in the middle of the stone like just now, it means that the stone has saved my life, and I will definitely avoid a severed head in the future.

The rooster didn't stop in the middle, and he took me the same, but when he encountered a catastrophe in the future, he would not be so lucky, and if he didn't die, he would have to be disabled.

The rooster ran away and fell off the stone, that is, the grandfather didn't accept me, and the old walnut said that he couldn't pass on my skills.

But within a few days of apprenticeship, I regretted it...... Panshan Eagle's set of kung fu is simply not practiced by people! You have to learn the kung fu of the arts, you have to learn the kung fu of killing, you have to learn the rules of the rivers and lakes, and even the small crafts like carpenters and furnace craftsmen, he also taught me.

I asked the old walnut, how do you learn so much?

He said, who made the mountain eagle a beard?

If you just eat the bowl of rice of Daxian'er, it is enough to learn to ask God to see things or something. But when a beard doesn't work!

The beard must have the ability to draw a sword and stand on his wrist. If you really want to go into battle, who cares if you are a master or not, when you see a knife, you will cut and draw a gun; If you point to someone else to save you, you have to let people take your head away as a urinal. Kung Fu is used to save lives.

"Teach you a little craft, that's the rule of the Panshan Eagle. No one can be a beard for a lifetime, and sooner or later there will be a golden basin to wash their hands. The beard doesn't know how to save money, it's not in the locks, sooner or later you'll starve to death, and the little craft is for you to make a living. Sometimes you can use it even when you step on the plate, and you can study hard. ”

Am I not good at learning?

Old Walnut teaches people to be more ruthless than ghosts, and if you don't learn well, you really kick people, and I almost didn't let him kick him to death. At first, I cried every day, but after a long time, I didn't feel tired.

I always ask him, when can I stop studying?

Old Walnut told me when he would tattoo an eagle on my chest and when I would be able to leave the school.

Beard tattoos are particular - beard tattoos only have dragons, tigers, eagles, and wolves.

Only the shopkeeper is qualified to tattoo the dragon and the tiger; The most capable wolf in the locks; The master can only tattoo an eagle. The master in the general silk is not qualified to tattoo the eagle. If you blindly draw flowers on your body, people will see it, and if you peel off a piece of your human skin, it will be considered light, and if you don't get it right, you will die.

I know that's what old Walnut said, and he wanted me to go to school and not really tattoo me. As soon as that thing is put on my body, which university will dare to accept me in the future?

I have lived with old walnut for seventeen or eighteen years, and in addition to not telling me about the things in the locks, he has not lost all his skills and let me learn them all over again.

The original days passed day by day, until I finished the college entrance examination that year......

The night I came out of the examination room, I received a call from the village, saying that the old walnut was going to die.

There was a buzz in my head, and I didn't even say hello to anyone, and ran all the way back. Old Walnut is already in his nineties, and he was secretly injured when he was young, and I don't know if he will be able to hold out until he sees me again, and he doesn't dare to delay at all on the way. By the time I got home, it was almost dawn.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the old walnut wearing a shroud, sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking straight at the door with two eyes, as if waiting for me.

"You're not a fast ......" I want to kill people! Who the hell is it okay to make such a joke on me?

Old Walnut spoke slowly, "I died last night, and you are talking to the dead." ”

I was a spirit. If the old walnut doesn't want to go, it does have the ability to drag on for a day and a half before leaving. What he said can't be true, right?

Old Walnut said, "I'm waiting for you to come back, just because I'm afraid you'll burn me." Remember, get me a coffin and bury me with your own hands, understand? ”

As soon as I nodded, the old walnut immediately fell straight on the kang and ran out of breath.
