My name is Jiang Ziwu, and I was born on the day of the seventh month.

In the middle of the night, when the wind was blowing outside and my mother had a difficult birth, the midwife took my last breath.

Seven days later, when my mother was buried, she encountered countless snakes coming down from the mountain.

The old blind man in the village said that I was all yin and life, and I was born because my mother exchanged my life for my life.

According to the local saying, I am a ghost baby, a relative, a neighbor, a fellow villager, anyway, whoever is close to him will be restrained, and in the end it turned out to be, except for dead things, there is no one who does not gram.

No one in the village paid attention to me, but I was not alone at all, because there were always two children who came to me, talked to me and played with me.

The villagers were even more scared, because they couldn't see the children I was talking to, and they all said I was talking to ghosts.

Since then, I've been disliked everywhere I go.

The adults walked around me, and the children threw stones at me.

My father looked at me like an enemy, and finally left the house with his bag on his back and never came back.

And the only grandfather who depended on me for my life suddenly fell ill and died when I was ten years old.

I was at a loss, I sat on the ground and cried, but no one took care of me.

At this time, a thin old man appeared, he asked me to call him Master, and after helping me bury my grandfather, he led me away and came to Jiangcheng Old Street.

My master runs a feng shui shop, and there are a lot of things in the shop, and Master told me that these are all useful Dharma utensils, and I asked me to carefully wipe them with a fine flannel cloth every day.

I often see a lot of rich people coming to my master, and they are so respectful that they can't be seen.

Later, I learned that my master was very famous in Jiangcheng, and the people who wanted to ask him to help were all crushed.

But my master has a rule, only three trigrams are made every month, and the days of looking at the yin house and cloth feng shui are also counted.

If it exceeds the trigrams, or the day is not suitable, no matter how much money the other party gives, they will not accept it.

After that, Master took me everywhere, helping people to look at the yin house, cloth feng shui, exorcise ghosts, and do everything, but I didn't have much to do with the living.

I am a little introverted and don't like to talk, so Master said that this is the kind of character that God likes, and asked me to watch more, listen more, learn more, talk less, and ask again when I don't understand.

A few worn-out ancient books, Master used them for me to memorize, and the obscure words became my cultural enlightenment.

Ancient martial arts is a compulsory course every day, and every night, you have to soak in the potion that you want to vomit when you smell it.

Sleep in a pitch-black coffin.

And just like that, in a blink of an eye, I turned eighteen.

I was already able to stay alone in the store to help with the business, but before the master went out, he always had to give a message.

"Stay in the store, someone looks for me, so I'll write it down in my notebook. But remember, if there is a surname Tang, don't take it no matter how much money you promise to give! ”

After Master left, I would take a flannel cloth and wipe the ritual utensils in the shop one by one.

All kinds of jade, bronze, calligraphy, paintings, and ornaments, each of which looks very old.

The faint white halo shrouded in a good magic weapon, if something that has been polluted by some evil substance, it looks like a black mist.

Follow Master to help people exorcise evil spirits, and I can also see those hideous-looking ghosts.

But I've never been afraid, and I've always felt that there is nothing to be afraid of these things.

Because for as long as I can remember, every night, I would see a woman with a beautiful face who claimed to be my mother and put me to sleep.

Even if there was a bloody ghost who wanted to possess me, she would do her best to protect me, and this situation continued until my master appeared.

When Master and I left, I looked back and saw the woman standing in the house, smiling and waving goodbye to me.

Hanging around my neck was an ancient copper coin that Master had given me.

There is no such word as Kangxi Tongbao on it, there is a word on each side, one is yin and the other is yang.

Master told me that this is a yin and yang treasure that can protect me from all evils.

Since then, I've realized that there's really nothing that comes close to me anymore.

This time, before the master left home, he specially explained to me: "Ziwu, I am going out for a few days, you have to remember that anyone's business can be followed, but if there is a surname Tang, don't take it, no matter what he says, how much money he promises to give, you don't take it!" ”

"Remember!" I promised, I don't know how many times I have been told this kind of advice, and sometimes I don't understand why Master has to say this every time I go out.

But I don't dare to ask, but I can't help but wonder in my heart, and it seems that I also want to see if there will really be someone surnamed Tang who comes to the door.

I still used the same thing every time Master went out, wiping the ritual utensils in the shop with a fine flannel cloth.

As soon as the door opened, the copper bell at the door "jingled", and a guest came to the door.

When I looked back, I saw a girl about my age walk in.

Dressed in a light blue dress, with long hair and a shawl, and sandals with thin heels.

Moth eyebrows and apricot eyes, red lips and white teeth, very beautiful.

"Excuse me, is Master Wu here?" The woman's voice is very good, soft, with the unique taste of Jiangnan women.

Master Wu is my master, his name is Wu Ming.

"My master is out! If you have anything to tell him about it, I'll contact you when he comes back. I lowered my eyes, not daring to stare at the girl, and took the notebook on the counter to write it down.

The girl was a little disappointed, "Then when will he come back?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Who are you?" The girl seemed curious about me.

"I'm his apprentice, if you have something urgent, you can tell me, I'll write it down, and I'll contact you when my master comes back." I said it again.

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "My family wants to invite Master Wu to see the Yin Mansion." ”

As soon as I heard this, I felt a little strange in my heart, looking at the Yin Mansion is not a thing to be said about it, what is this girl hesitating about?

"Okay, name, address, contact number!" I picked up my pen again and prepared to write it down.

"My name is Tang Lian!" The girl said, "I live in the west ...... of Jiangcheng."

"Your surname is Tang?" I looked up sharply and looked at each other in surprise.

"yes!"

"Sorry, we won't take your job!" I put down my pen and walked to the door, "Walk slowly, don't send it!" ”

"Why?" Tang Lian was puzzled, "We didn't let Master Wu do things for nothing, the price is as you go!" ”

I still shook my head and stood still in the doorway, waiting for her to go.

"You ......" Tang Lian's face was slightly red, a little embarrassed, "Why are you like this, open the door to do business and rush out?" ”

Her embarrassed appearance was so beautiful and cute that I couldn't help but feel my heart beat hard, but Master's words came first, so I could only harden my heart and say, "I'm sorry! ”

Seeing this, Tang Lian suddenly stopped being annoyed, smiled and walked a few steps closer, leaning close to me, breathing can be smelled, a body fragrance that makes people think about it, like orchids and begonias, rushed into the nasal cavity.

I felt my heart beating harder, my face was even redder, and I subconsciously took a step back.

"I'm sorry, girl, please go back! We really don't take your work! ”

Tang Lian suddenly smiled, "You're shy!" ”

I'm about the same age next year, but it's a girl who says this, which makes me even more uncomfortable.

"How old are you?" Tang Lian asked again, "You look similar to me, can you take the job?" Your master is not here, otherwise you will take it! ”

"I haven't been out yet." I stared at my toes, afraid to look at her.

"What's your name? Why don't you take my job? "Tang Lian seems to be deliberately teasing me.

I cleared my throat and said, "When Master leaves, if he has words, he can take anyone's work, but the surname Tang can't!" ”

Tang Lian looked at me, suddenly put it to my ear, and said softly: "You tell your master, Zijin Compass, he will naturally take it!" ”

"......" I felt like I was looking at the pretty faces that were close at hand, and I wanted to match my eyes.

"Alright, I'm leaving, I'll come back in a few days!" Tang Lian suddenly stepped back, waved her hand and left.
