"Well, remember, you said that you are not a real Taoist priest, you can only use some simple earth methods, and if you really encounter a ghost, you are helpless."

I replied truthfully, the first time I came to see Master Wang, he did say so.

Master Wang nodded, squinted at the ceiling, and began to slowly recall......

In 1978, there was still a time before the fourth agrarian reform.

Master Wang is only in his twenties.

In that era when no one was rich, no one could be lazy if they wanted to fill their stomachs.

Because at that time, the countryside was still under collective ownership.

To get a share of the food. It is necessary to work every day and work to earn food and clothing.

Master Wang was hardworking and willing to work at that time, and he was the captain of a labor team.

At that time, the rice yield was low and the population in the village was large, so Master Wang spontaneously led everyone to reclaim the wasteland.

Master Wang's current house originally had a land temple (some places called Chenghuang Temple).

Master Wang, who was deeply influenced by the four olds, wanted to demolish the land temple and turn it into cultivated land.

But the people in the team disagreed, although they didn't dare to talk about ghosts, but most of the people in the countryside had heard or had been exposed to some things in this area.

So many people are against demolishing that land temple.

Even so, Master Wang led three other unbelievers to use hoes and shovels for several days to raze the land temple.

That land temple has been around for a long time.

No one knows when it was built, but the night when Master Wang and the four of them finished demolishing the land temple and dug up the foundation of the land temple.

Strange things happened, and it was a horrible thing.

All four of them were sleepwalking at the same time that night.

And also without their respective families finding out.

Unconsciously, the four of them came to the Earth Temple, which they had demolished.

and knelt down and kowtowed at the same time in the direction of the land temple, knocking three to death.

When I heard this, I knew that things were not so simple, and I asked Master Wang:

"How can kowtow and kill people?"

Master Wang nodded and said:

"Because we all kowtow in front of sharp stones, and we use a lot of force."

"Are you saying that the other three are dead, and you're the only one left? So how did you survive? ”

I continued.

I don't have the slightest doubt about what Master Wang said, and no one will joke about this kind of thing.

Master Wang brushed the hair in front of its forehead with his hand, leaking a looming scar and said:

"I also knocked, but I didn't die, because I was the youngest, and that Taoist priest saved me, in fact, that Taoist priest is also my master."

"That Taoist senior, is that the Taoist senior who gave you guidance? But what does this have to do with your youth? "I'm puzzled.

Master Wang pursed his lips and asked me to pour him another bowl of water, and he drank the water before continuing to talk about it.

That night, the four of them arrived almost simultaneously in front of the temple of the land that had been bulldozed.

Everyone found a place with a sharp stone and knelt down, and at the same time slammed down on the stone.

He woke up after a knock because an old Taoist priest woke him up.

The old Taoist priest was also an old man in the village.

At the beginning, he strongly opposed Master Wang's reclamation of the land temple area.

But Master Wang couldn't listen at all, not only did he not listen, but he also reprimanded the old Taoist.

After the old Taoist priest woke up Master Wang, Master Wang regained consciousness.

But even if he regained consciousness, it would be of no avail, for his sudden attack had made him almost faint, and he could not even get up.

I could only watch the other three people, one after another, until they hit the sharp corner stone.

And after the old Taoist priest woke him up, he fought with an evil ghost, and one person and one ghost fought farther and farther.

Finally out of his sight.

Master Wang lasted for a few minutes, and then fainted in place.

When Master Wang woke up the next day, it was already noon.

The people around him told him that the other three were all dead.

He regretted it a lot, he knew that the deaths of the other three people were caused by his own insistence on touching the land temple.

Not only he knew, but the whole village knew that it was because of that land temple.

But no one dared to say anything about it, because it involved superstition, and if it was rumored about it, they would be arrested and marched.

So the death of these three people naturally became a headless case.

Master Wang, as the "master", was not punished in any way.

But Master Wang knew in his heart that the deaths of these three people were directly related to him.

And he also knew that the reason why he dragged on was because the old Taoist priest saved him.

That afternoon, he found the old Taoist priest.

Because when they were planning to reclaim that land, the old Taoist priest told him privately that the land temple could not be cultivated.

Because there's a very powerful demon down there.

At that time, Master Wang didn't think so, but now he firmly believes it.

He was young and vigorous, and he hated the demon in his heart.

The deceased is gone, and all he can do is avenge the three brothers.

And the only one who could help him was the old Taoist priest.

After finding the old Taoist priest, he realized that revenge was easier said than done.

The old Taoist priest himself was also very distressed about this, not to mention getting rid of that evil ghost, even if he had to suppress it again, it would not be easy.

He also told him that if the evil spirit was not suppressed within seven days, the whole village would suffer.

Master Wang asked where the evil ghost came from.

But the old Taoist priest refused to say anything, and only gave a way to suppress the evil spirits again.

Because the previous suppression formation was destroyed by them, it would be useless to build another land temple.

The old Taoist priest rearranged a set of suppression formations there, and the level of the old Taoist priest was much worse than the level of those predecessors before.

His suppression formation alone was not enough to suppress that evil ghost, so he still needed a lot of assistance.

Thanks to the efforts of the whole village, a house was erected in the same place within three days.

That is the one where Master Wang lives now.

The reason why the house is not a land temple is because someone needs to live in this house to take care of the suppression formation.

The formation of the old Taoist priest is extremely ingenious, and I don't understand the mystery, because the maintenance of the formation is only based on an everlasting lamp.

The ever-bright lamp here refers to the kerosene lamp that cannot be extinguished.

This lamp is specially made and can burn for twelve hours when filled with kerosene, which is why Master Wang never travels far away.

for he shall take care of the lamp that will not be extinguished.

In addition, this formation also needs four Yin Spirits to be activated (these four Yin Spirits can only go to the underworld after the formation is fully activated).

And all four of these ghosts have something to do with that evil spirit.

And the people who have something to do with that evil ghost, in addition to the four masters Wang who bulldozed the land temple, there is also an old Taoist priest who has fought with the evil ghost.

In other words, among the two people who are alive, the old Taoist priest must also die.

Only in this way can we gather the four Yin Spirits to make a formation.

Because this formation will last for forty years before that evil ghost can fly away.

And that old Taoist priest was almost seventy years old at the time, and he couldn't live forty years!

The task of taking care of the ever-bright lantern undoubtedly fell to Master Wang.

Therefore, Master Wang can't marry a wife and have children in this life, so he can only be a lonely lampkeeper for a lifetime.

This decision was made out of desperation.

When building this house, the old Taoist priest also asked two fellow masters to work together, trying to directly disperse this evil ghost, but in the end it was unsuccessful.

From the first day that Master Wang found the old Taoist, the old Taoist accepted Master Wang as an apprentice.

In six days, he taught Master Wang some very simple and easy-to-understand Taoism, and taught Master Wang the method of starting the formation.

Then at noon on the seventh day, the old Taoist priest committed suicide by drinking pesticides.

The formation was activated on the night of the seven souls of the three people who died because of kowtowing.

That is, the night when the old Taoist priest committed suicide.

After his soul was stripped out, Master Wang used the formation prepared by the old Taoist priest in advance to summon the souls of the three people and trapped them in the designed position.

At twelve o'clock that night, Master Wang used these four souls to open this formation to suppress evil spirits.

The only thing that makes people feel fortunate about the whole thing is that this formation to suppress the evil ghost will continue to cause damage to that evil ghost.

As time passes, the soul of this evil ghost will slowly be eroded by the formation, and its ability will become weaker and weaker.

Start by lighting that everlasting lamp.

Master Wang stayed here for 30 years.

In the past 30 years, Master Wang has been cautious for fear of accidents.

Never comes into direct contact with the ghosts.,And make a living by tying paper.。

He never dared to go far away.

So I didn't let the ever-bright light go out once.

But just two days ago.

The ever-bright light went out because of one thing.

And this matter has a lot to do with me! ......
