The sun is setting, the remnant sun is like blood, and the blood-colored clouds are in the distant sky, not ordinary fire clouds, which make people see a kind of tragedy, the fierce clouds after a great war, which the old man told me later.

After dinner, the old man came back from outside, listening to a wooden bucket with water in it, and I asked him, "Why did you bring a bucket of water? ”

"This is the water without a trace, the water of a quarter of an hour when the sun goes down and night falls. The old man said. Then he asked his aunt to boil water to prepare for a change of clothes and bath, and there is still a habit of soaking in large wooden barrels in the countryside, and the bathroom is also very large, with two large wooden barrels in it.

The old man and I have been talking around outside for all these years, and some information has been revealed from the old man's mouth.

"When you were young, when you were born, your father and I opened an altar for you outside the delivery room to ensure that you were born so smoothly. The old man drank tea, took a puff of cigarette and continued, "Before you were born, some fortune tellers in our department were counted as if you were a Taoist child, because the children of each department personnel had to let the fortune tellers calculate a fortune before they were born, and if there were special ones, they would start a protection plan, which could be regarded as a guarantee for the department personnel." ”

"What is the life of the Dao Boy?" I asked the old man.

"There are many disasters and difficulties, and it is not suitable to be with your parents for a long time, otherwise you will kill your parents. The old man paused, "At that time, your parents didn't believe it, and they didn't want you to leave your parents at such a young age, so they have always protected you well, but, in the end, destiny cannot be violated, and your parents are now unclear about their life and death." ”

"What did I do when I was born?"

"Since your destiny is the life of a Taoist child, you are destined to cultivate the Tao by nature, and this is the will of heaven. And your personality matches your birth time, you are a yin aggregate, easy to provoke unclean things to violate, those things are floating outside all the year round, I hope to have a ** sustenance, especially your physique, which is too suitable for those things to sustenance. And the hospital is very easy to gather unclean things, only people who are sick and in pain go there, there is a lack of yang energy, plus every hospital has a morgue for the dead body, it is strange not to gather those things, do I know what I say?" said the old man.

"Well, but how do you know when I was born?"

"This is also what I later learned when I asked those fortune tellers to open a hexagram for you, and I was born at 12 o'clock in the evening. ”

Auntie had already mixed two buckets of water according to the method and proportion that the old man said, and the old man and I each soaked in our own large wooden buckets.

"Why is the water in my barrel different from yours?" I asked curiously.

"I'm an old man, you're a little kid, can you soak in the same?" replied the old man speechlessly.

After changing clothes and bathing, I sat on the futon in front of the altar as the old man said. And the old man saluted in front of the altar, played the reason for going to the underworld, and then stepped on Bugang and held a peachwood sword,

The old man sat on the red futon across from me, meditating with his eyes closed, and I closed my eyes as well, but I could hear the wind blowing around me.

When I opened my eyes again, the old man had already stood up, and the old man motioned for me to follow him, and the altar had become a whirlpool, and it was dark inside, and the visibility was very low, and I could only barely see a gravel road with no end in sight, and the wind around it was all coming out.

I felt myself walking lightly, and as the old man walked into the whirlpool, I turned my head to look at my own body, and my body was sitting on the futon with my eyes closed.

After entering the whirlpool, the old man and I drifted away, so to speak, the black completely shrouded us, and after a few minutes, we finally saw a glimmer of light in the distance, and the gray-yellow light became larger and larger, and we finally walked out of the whirlpool.

What appeared in front of him was a big river with rough waves, and it was impossible to see the end of the river on the shore, only a misty black shrouded in the distance, and the water of the river was yellow, similar to yellow muddy water.

"This is Huangquan Road. The old man pointed to the stone brick road on the rough river in front of him, "Wait a little more and follow me, and leave everything around me." ”

"Oooh," I nodded.

The old man continued to lead me forward, and I followed him within half a meter, looking around in the hope of finding something unusual, after all, it looked and felt no different from the sun.

"Fish... There are fish..."I pulled the corner of the old man's coat and pointed at the fish and exclaimed, "There are fish alive in this yellow muddy water, it's strange!"

The old man turned his head and glared at me and said, "Put your finger down! Don't point around here, everything here is alive, and if you point like that, they will suspect that you are speaking ill of them." ”

I put down my finger and showed an embarrassed expression, and the old man continued, "This kind of fish that lives in the river is called the dead fish, which records a person's past and present lives, and the information equivalent to a person's past and present lives is stored on this fish. Do you understand?"

"Understood. I replied to the old man, "Can you catch one and go back to see my past and present lives?"

"If you're brave enough, go try it. The old man didn't turn his head and continued to walk forward, "I can't guarantee that the ghosts of the underworld will catch you and throw you into the river to feed the fish, I heard that there is a kind of yin and yang fish in the river that eats souls for a living." ”

After listening to the old man's words, my forehead was covered with black lines, and I thought to myself, this is too perverted.

I walked aimlessly with the old man, and I don't know how long it took, but when I finally finished the Huangquan Road, the old man turned his head and said to me, "Don't shout here, don't talk much, after passing here, you can meet any ghost." If you don't know how to follow the rules here, it's going to be a lot of trouble. The old man pointed to the desk on the side of the road not far away, where a few ghosts in uniform sit.

When they came to the desk, the old man said a few polite words to them, and there was a sign next to the desk, which wrote a few words crookedly, "Entrance and exit".

"Master Yuwen, I haven't seen you for a long time, which gust of wind blew your old man?" asked a ghost with a bull's head with a smile on his face.

"It's been a long time, why did you two come here to guard the entrance?" the old man asked with a smile.

Another ghost with a horse's face complained, "Well, it's a long story, you haven't been here for a few days, the system has been reformed here, and we brothers have no backstage, so we can only get a job here." ”

"It's good to be able to get a job here, but some ghosts have been dismissed and reduced to ordinary ghosts because of the system reform. The bull head replied.
