Hundreds of hungry ghosts, sucked into the crevices by the powerful suction, wailed and melted into the darkness, the hungry ghost mother wailed in pain, her thin hands clutched the wall, unwilling to leave like this.

Grandma held a business bottle with peacock feathers and auspicious grass in her hand, appeared at the door, looked at the hungry ghost mother with a solemn expression, reverently chanted Buddhist scriptures, the crack in the wall lightning and thunder, the suction force was even stronger, the hungry ghost mother screamed and was dragged into the abyss, the wall closed with it, and there was no trace to be seen.

I watched all this in amazement, and it wasn't until Gu Qihan's tall body shook that I came back to my senses, and hurriedly withdrew from his arms, eagerly checking his injuries, he was very badly injured, most of his clothes were scorched, his skin was open, and his flesh was blurred.

I felt nervous and tried to help him sit down, but I found that the room had been devoured by the hungry ghosts, and not a single chair was left.

Grandma asked me to help Gu Qihan to the sofa in the living room and sit down, I originally wanted to cut my finger to feed Gu Qihan blood to help him heal, but my grandmother stopped me, she said that my grandfather left some pills that could treat Gu Qihan's injuries.

She went back to her bedroom, took a bottle of pills, and asked Gu Qihan to take two, and soon, the injuries on Gu Qihan's body quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just two minutes, he was back to normal, and even the clothes on his body automatically returned to their original clothes.

Watching him heal, I was relieved.

I asked my grandmother what the origin of those hungry ghosts was and why there were so many.

Grandma replied that those were not ordinary hungry ghosts, but beings from one of the six realms of Buddhism, the path of hungry ghosts.

It is said that the beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao were reincarnated there because they had done too much evil in their previous lives. Hungry ghosts, like humans, are also viviparous, but the ghost mother will give birth to hundreds of devils in one litter, and they will suffer from hunger and thirst from birth, plus the hungry ghost road, there is a barren land full of grains, they can't bear the torture of hunger, so they eat each other's flesh and blood, and the hungry ghost mother takes pity on her children, so she tries to open a way to the world and take the children to forage for food.

Grandma then explained that when Gao Ming, Li Honggang and a few of them were playing psychic games, they accidentally summoned the hungry ghost mother, and the hungry ghost mother used Ah Tao to kill Li Dafu's wife and children and devour their souls. Fortunately, Gu Qihan saw that something was wrong when she was haunted by the hungry ghost mother, and prepared in advance. She said that the beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao could not eat ordinary food, so they could only use the smoke method ritual to support them, and Gu Qihan took the opportunity to open the passage to the Hungry Ghost Dao in the world and sent them back to the Hungry Ghost Dao.

I said that those hungry ghosts can come to the world once, and will come a second time, and there is nothing they can do to stop them?

My grandmother looked at me and sighed, "Being reborn as a hungry ghost is very pitiful, no different from being in hell, no wonder they want to run to the world." As long as there are greed, evil thoughts, and delusions in the world, they can still come to the world through some carriers, and there is no way to stop them. What we can do is to practice the smoke feeding offering method, and through the blessings of Buddha power and mantra, the smoke will be turned into food to save the hungry ghosts, so as to relieve their suffering. ”

I always thought that my grandmother was just an ordinary little old lady, but I didn't expect her to understand so many things.

I said depressedly, "The Hungry Ghost Mother said that someone told her that if she eats me, she can get rid of the Hungry Ghost Dao, and I don't know who is hiding in the shadows to harm me!" I consider myself a good citizen, and I have never made a feud with anyone. ”

Grandma sighed, "Xiao Nan, this matter may have something to do with you being a descendant of the Jiang family." Once your bloodline awakens, it will attract many enemies. There are some things that I originally planned to tell you two days ago, but unfortunately so many things happened one after another, and I never had a chance to tell you, tonight, I will tell you the secrets of the Jiang family. ”

My grandmother called me and Gu Qihan to her bedroom, she slept on the old-fashioned wooden frame bed, the bottom of the bed was empty, and a lot of things could be placed, she bent down and squatted down, and dragged out a large dusty old wooden box from under the bed.

When I opened the wooden box, there were talismans, peachwood swords, and many things I had never seen before, and my grandmother took them out while chanting, "Tiancang ruler, ghost stick, five emperor coins, emperor decrees, and wooden ...... of the town altar"

Listening to the name, it seemed that they were all magic weapons to ward off evil spirits, and my grandmother picked up a worn-out and yellowed book from the bottom of the box and said, "These things, including this book, belong to your grandfather, and now, they are all yours." ”

I immediately reacted, "Grandma, my grandfather shouldn't be a Taoist priest who drives away evil spirits and hunts ghosts, right?" ”

When I was five years old, he went out and never came back, if it weren't for the black and white photos of him hanging on the walls, I wouldn't have remembered what he looked like.

Grandma stroked the yellowed book, her face showing nostalgia, "It's not so much that your grandfather is a Taoist priest, but that he is an exorcist who inherits the family business, and now, you should also inherit the family business." ”

"Family business?"

"Yes, exorcism and ghost hunting is a cause that has been passed down by the Jiang family for thousands of years." Grandma paused, looked at me and said, "Jiang Ziya, you know, right?" He is the ancestor of your grandfather and their Jiang family! ”

Jiang Ziya, of course I know, when I was in the sixth grade of primary school, I watched the vernacular version of "Fengshen Bang", and at that time I thought he was a very powerful old man, but I didn't expect him to be the ancestor of the Jiang family, my God, this is also incredible.

Grandma said, "In the official history, Jiang Ziya is an outstanding strategist, military strategist and politician, in the wild history, he led everyone to help King Wu of Zhou destroy the Shang and establish the Zhou Dynasty, and later all the heroes were crowned gods, but he himself did not seal, because Taoism pays attention to no desire and no desire, at ease, and after becoming a god, he will be bound by the rules and regulations of heaven, and he does not want to suffer this sin." ”

She smiled and said, "In the past, when our rural hometown built a house and put up the beams, there was a ceremony, that is, Jiang Ziya was invited, as long as he came forward, any ghosts and gods would be far away, as the so-called 'Jiang Taigong is here, there are no taboos'." It can be seen that his old man's status among the ghosts and gods. ”

No wonder, that night in the hospital, when the soul envoy wanted to hook my soul, Gu Qihan said that I was a descendant of the Jiang family, so he let me go, it turned out to be for the sake of the face of our Jiang family's ancestors.

Grandma continued, "Jiang Ziya's descendants inherit the bloodline that can see yin and yang, and every few generations of the Jiang family, there will be a person who has opened the yin and yang eyes, and after the yin and yang eyes are opened, the elders of the Jiang family will tell him about the inheritance of the bloodline, and then train him to inherit the cause of exorcism and ghost hunting." Your grandfather was the one from their generation. In your lifetime, there is only one child in our family, and your grandfather pinned all his hopes on you, and when he left home for the last time, he prepared these things and told me to wait for you to open your yin and yang eyes before handing them over to you. ”

I looked at the magic weapons left to me by my grandfather, my feelings were very complicated, and it was quite difficult to accept, a few months ago, I thought I was an ordinary person, but now I have become an exorcist, my grandfather's family is still so good!

After a few seconds of silence, I said, "Grandma, not only can I see ghosts, but my blood seems to be quite special." ”

Grandma nodded, "The Jiang family once had such a ghost exorcist, she is also a woman, just like you, she is the daughter of pure yin born when the lunar year is cloudy, and her blood also has the effect of making ghosts more powerful." Your grandfather said that the descendants of the Jiang family, because of the different degrees of bloodline inheritance, will have a peculiarity, for example, after your great-grandfather's bloodline is completely awakened, he can use language to control the behavior of ordinary ghosts, and your grandfather can foresee future death, and you, in addition to blood attracting ghosts, should also have some kind of special ability. ”

Something suddenly occurred to me and blurted out, "I see! ”

My grandmother asked me what I understood, and I hurriedly told her about my dream that Gu Qihan saved the resentful spirit, "I guess, my special ability is to be able to see what is happening in my dreams." ”

Grandma thought for a while and said that it was possible.

I was first surprised, then annoyed, and said in frustration, "Compared to the special abilities of my great-grandfather and grandfather, my abilities are too weak, what is the use of dreaming about what is happening, but I can't be there." ”
