Record of Yin and Yang

The ghost month every year—that is, July, Xiayuan Festival, and Qingming Festival are very dangerous for Gu Jiu. During these periods, there are particularly many ghosts wandering outside, and the thatched huts are visited by wild ghosts. is particularly frequent.

And tomorrow is the Xiayuan Festival. Taoist temples will be used as dojos, folks will sacrifice to the dead, and pray to the Xiayuan water officials to help them solve their problems. When midnight arrives on this day, the ghost gate will open, and the ghost gate will be completely closed when the next midnight arrives.

Knowing that the Taoist priest might be trying to draw his attention, but it was getting dark and there was not much time before midnight, and there was the shadow of being almost eaten before, so Gu Jiu didn't dare to go out at all.

It’s not that Gu Yong never invited witches and Taoist priests before, and wanted to take Gu Jiu and Zhou Shanshan away together, but in the end they were all frightened away by the gusts of wind picked up by Zhou Shanshan, so even though Zhou Shanshan choked his neck, But he also had hope, hoping that Zhou Shanshan could scare the Taoist priest away like before.

The thatched house has two rooms in total, one is the kitchen, and the other is where he and grandma sleep. After grandma died, Gu Jiu ate the food she had saved, and then relied on his younger brother to support him. Fortunately, there is a well in the yard, so drinking water is not a problem .The only rusty and chipped kitchen knife in the kitchen was hidden under the pillow by Gu Jiu. This knife is useless to ghosts, but it is still a bit threatening to people. Before the old Taoist came, Gu Jiu wrapped the knife in a cloth Wrap and hide in your arms.

The sky was getting dark, the only thing Gu Jiu ate today was the chicken leg, and now he was groaning with hunger, the little brother walked around him, looked at the window, looked at Gu Jiu, hesitant.

Gu Jiu said, "I'm a little bit hungry."

The younger brother meowed, jumped onto the window, turned to look at Gu Jiu, and then got out.

Gu Jiu chased after him, leaned on the window, and watched his younger brother slowly disappear into the woods outside through the gap, his eyes couldn't help being filled with water vapor.

Gu Jiu raised his hand to wipe his eyes. He deliberately let the younger brother leave. When the old Taoist priest came over later, he still didn't know if he could survive tonight, so it was best not to let the younger brother fall into the other party's hands.

After the younger brother left, Gu Jiu filled his belly with well water to satisfy his hunger, then moved a broken three-legged bench, opened the door and sat at the door, staring fixedly at the outside of the yard.

The old Taoist priest hadn't come yet, but there were many shadows outside the courtyard, all of them staring at each other.

After distinguishing for a while, Gu Jiu recognized that these were probably new wild ghosts that had floated from elsewhere. Some of the wild ghosts that were guarding here before should have entered Zhou Shanshan's stomach.

A gust of cold air came from behind, Gu Jiu knew it was Zhou Shanshan who came out without turning her head.

Zhou Shanshan passed through Gu Jiu, ran out of the door, approached the nearest wild ghost, and was wrapped in black mist. Gu Jiu listened to the miserable howling of the wild ghost with a blank expression.

Zhou Shanshan was expressing her anger. She did this before because she was angry that these wild ghosts tried to harm her parents and children.Now, she was naturally angry that they dared to covet the food that belonged to her.

The more wild ghosts she ate, the faster she lost her sanity.

Zhou Shanshan ate two wild ghosts in a row, and the black mist on her body rose again. She returned to Gu Jiu, bent down to get close to Gu Jiu, her face was pale under the black mist, and her eyes were dark.

She sniffed at Gu Jiu's shoulder.

"Mother." Gu Jiu took the initiative to approach Zhou Shanshan, stretched out her thin hands to hug her, and spoke in admiration.

Zhou Shanshan shuddered and regained some sanity. After struggling for a moment, she swung Gu Jiu away and floated behind him.

Gu Jiu was slapped on her buttocks and squatted. After getting up, she touched her own neck and exhaled slowly.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the little brother hadn't come back yet. Two dim yellow lights were faintly drifting towards this side in the distance. As the distance got closer, Gu Jiu heard two footsteps of different weights, and then saw the two people holding the lanterns. Dao figure.

Gu Yong and the old Taoist came.

Gu Yong hugged a Tao Weng who was filled with blackness in Gu Jiu's eyes, a roll of red rope was hung around his neck, and a cloth bag was hung on his shoulder.The old Taoist priest changed the navy blue Taoist robe he was wearing before, and wore a more orthodox-looking black and yellow Taoist robe with various runes printed on it, and held a black flag in his hand.

The two still stopped in front of the courtyard, and Gu Yong put down everything one by one.

The courtyard walls were built with earth and rocks mixed with straw, barely forming a courtyard, and the courtyard gate was also made of woven bamboo, which had been rotten from years of sun and rain.The old Taoist approached Gu Yong and murmured something to him, then saw Gu Yong tear open the courtyard door with his bare hands, and walked towards Gu Jiu hesitantly.

Gu Jiu picked up a piece of dirt and threw it at Gu Yong.

The night was dark, Gu Yong didn't dodge, he was hit by Gu Jiu, he let out a "wow".

Gu Jiu pursed his lips, and continued to throw pieces of dirt on Gu Yong's body. He took the dirt off the kitchen wall before the two of them came. Anyway, it was an earthen wall with plenty of materials. There are still a lot of them at the feet.

Gu Yong couldn't see clearly, he just felt that it was endless, so he couldn't help yelling: "Damn little bastard!"

Regardless of the pain of being smashed on his body, he stepped forward quickly, and stretched out his big palm to pinch Gu Jiu's neck.

Gu Jiu dodged back, and Gu Yong came face to face with Zhou Shanshan who came out of the house.

"Ahhh!" Gu Yong yelled in fright.

Normal people can't see ghosts, unless his yang energy is particularly weak, but Gu Yong wiped his eyes with his sleeve leaves before coming, so he can see ghosts for a short time.

Gu Yong was taken aback by Zhou Shanshan's sudden appearance, he endured his fear and only took two steps back.He fumbled around his neck quickly, then turned out a wooden sign in his hand, and shouted at Zhou Shanshan, "Go away!"

Gu Jiu, who was hiding behind Zhou Shanshan, saw a red light from the wooden sign, and Zhou Shanshan felt as if she had been hit by a truck, and her body wrapped in black air involuntarily flew backwards.

"Mother!" Gu Jiu called out, and was about to rush over to check Zhou Shanshan who was curled up and rolling on the ground.At the same time, he was startled, he said how could Gu Yong be so bold, he never dared to come here before, but tonight he has no scruples, because he has such a powerful wooden sign in his hand.

However, Gu Jiu turned around and ran for two steps before he felt someone grab his back collar, and there was a pull from his back. Gu Jiu heard Gu Yong whisper maliciously in his ear: "Little bastard, tonight I will call Master!" I'll take you and you damn motherfucker!"

Gu Jiu is now eight years old. He has been hungry all year round and his bones are cold. He has a weak body. He has no strength to compete with Gu Yong, a mature man. He was dragged directly to the ground and dragged by Gu Yong. Yong pulled the back collar and dragged it outside the house.

Facing Zhou Shanshan, Gu Jiu could still call her mother poor, but facing Gu Yong, the father who wanted to bury Gu Jiu alive, Gu Jiu didn't report the slightest thought that the other party might be soft-hearted.He directly took out the broken knife in his arms, tore off the cloth, and swiped back with all his strength.

The knife was directly in Gu Yong's hand, and he couldn't help letting go of Gu Jiu under the pain. Gu Jiu didn't look back, got up and ran desperately into the house.

Zhou Shanshan, who had recovered, came out of the room again, and Gu Jiu found that her black energy seemed to be a little less, which might be caused by the blow of the wooden sign just now.

Gu Jiu threw herself into Zhou Shanshan's arms, "Mother, save me!"

Zhou Shanshan didn't speak. From the first time Gu Jiu saw her when she was a baby, she hadn't heard a single word from her for eight years. It was only later that she found out that Zhou Shanshan was dumb.

Zhou Shanshan threw Gu Jiu into the room, and rushed towards Gu Yong.

With the blood on Gu Yong's right hand, seeing Zhou Shanshan coming out again, he took out the wooden sign viciously again.

As soon as Zhou Shanshan approached Gu Yong, the wooden sign glowed red again. However, Zhou Shanshan was not knocked out this time. The black mist surging around her body seemed to be resisting the red light, and then she pinched it with her pale hands. Gu Yong's neck.

The expected situation did not happen, and the neck was strangled. Feeling the coldness on the neck, Gu Yong shouted in horror: "Master, save me!"

After the old Taoist priest came over, he sent Gu Yong to arrest Gu Jiu, and kept busy working beside him.He walked around the courtyard in the afternoon and arranged something here.But Gu Jiu took the risk of being injured by a wild ghost and checked the side, but found nothing wrong.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest was pouring the contents of the pottery along a strange route, and the contents fell into the soil surface wrapped in black air. Gu Jiu couldn't tell what it was, but he could smell the slightest stench.

When Gu Yong asked for help, the old Taoist also dumped all the things in the Tao Weng, threw the Tao Weng, and when there was a sound of breaking, the old Taoist suddenly flew in, with an extra sword in his hand, and sternly shouted: "Evil ghost!" Don't be crazy, retreat quickly!"

Zhou Shanshan let go of Gu Yong and fought with the old Taoist priest.

Although Zhou Shanshan ate a lot of wild ghosts, she was considered a bully among ghosts in Gu Jiu's eyes, but she was just an ordinary person in front of her, and she didn't know how to fight.The old Taoist is different, he has been in this industry for a long time, and his every move is full of tricks, and he dares to face Zhou Shanshan, which proves that the other party is very confident and can subdue Zhou Shanshan.

Gu Jiu didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Shanshan, at least not tonight. He saw the old Taoist priest's treacherous face, and he had a hunch that if he let him succeed tonight, his fate would be worse than filling Zhou Shanshan's stomach.

Gu Jiu looked left and right, then continued to pick up the unused dirt and threw it at the old Taoist priest.

Dodging the two pieces of dirt thrown by Gu Jiu, the old Taoist said contemptuously: "It's a small skill." His name is Gu Yong, "Use the red rope to tie up that little evil spirit according to the method I taught you before."

Gu Yong was using a strip of cloth torn off from his body to stop the bleeding on his arm. He tied the cloth strip with his mouth, and when he heard the sound, he answered yes, and then took the red rope placed at the gate of the courtyard, and walked towards him again. Gu Jiu walked over.

Gu Jiu hugged a few pieces of dirt and threw it at the old Taoist priest while avoiding Gu Yong.But the yard is only so big, his strength, speed and body shape are very weak, and he was caught by Gu Yong in a short while.

Gu Yong took the red rope and put it on him.

Gu Jiu glanced at Zhou Shanshan, opened her mouth, and shouted, "Mom, run!"

Zhou Shanshan also lacked the ability to separate herself. Gu Jiu knew that if he asked her to save him again, he would be defeated even faster in the face of the threat of the old Taoist priest.Although Zhou Shanshan wanted to eat him, but the other party had guarded him for so many years, without her, he would have already fed the wild ghost.The old Taoist priest would not let him go, and he certainly wouldn't let Zhou Shanshan go either.

Zhou Shanshan was in a hurry and wanted to get out to rescue Gu Jiu, but was stopped by the old Taoist priest, "Want to run? Neither of you two can escape today."

Gu Jiu was placed on the ground by Gu Yong, and one of Gu Yong's legs knelt on his two legs. It was so painful that he couldn't struggle at all. His upper body, including his hands, had been tightly wrapped around his waist by red ropes.

"Meow!"

In desperation, Gu Jiu heard his younger brother's voice.

A black shadow descended from the sky and fell on the back of Gu Yong's neck. His claws scratched fiercely, blood was seen on the tip of the claws.

A piece of flesh was scratched off the back of Gu Yong's neck, and he fell on his back in pain. Gu Jiu lost his shackles, so he rolled over, stood up and turned around twice, trying to get around the red rope on his body, but Gu Yong didn't know what to do. That's right, the red rope was still wrapped around him neatly.

Gu Yong endured the pain and shouted to the old Taoist: "Master, here comes another little animal."

The old Taoist frowned, looked around, and said to Zhou Shanshan, "The old Taoist will deal with you later."

He slid his finger on the blade, and red blood stains appeared along the blade. The blood-stained sword seemed to be more powerful, and it was surrounded by strands of red mist.

The old Taoist held a sharp sword and said in his mouth: "The way is open to the sky, the chain of qi guards against the yin, the soul is locked up, and the three gates are sealed. The Supreme Lord is as urgent as a law!"

A stream of blood-red sword energy went straight towards Zhou Shanshan, passing through Zhou Shanshan's body as if it was real.

Zhou Shanshan flew upside down, knocked down the courtyard wall, and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment. She was severely injured by the sword, and unexpectedly lost the strength to get up again.With this sword, the black energy on her body also dropped a lot, revealing her body that had been hidden for a long time, and her mind that had been swallowed up seemed to have recovered, she looked at Gu Jiu sadly and desperately, her mouth was wide open but she couldn't make any sound , silently shed tears of blood.

"Mother." Gu Jiu could not bear to take two steps towards Zhou Shanshan, but Gu Yong stepped on the red rope.

The younger brother stood at Gu Jiu's feet, staring warily at Gu Yong and the old Taoist priest who came slowly towards this side.

The old Taoist looked at the younger brother carefully, and praised: "This black cat is very spiritual, a rare material for attracting spirits."

Gu Jiu didn't think about it, and kicked the little brother away, "Little brother, listen to me, go!"

"Meow!"

The little brother landed steadily in the distance, but he didn't listen to Gu Jiu's words, and ran towards him again with a cry.

Gu Jiu's eyes were red, she turned her head and looked at the old Taoist viciously: "I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!"

The old Taoist looked contemptuous: "Of course you want to be a ghost." Duo stopped talking, pointed to Gu Yong and asked him to catch the black cat if it was alive, then picked up the red rope and tied it up himself.

But before he approached Gu Jiu, a golden light suddenly rushed to his fingertips and cut the red rope.

"It's easy for me to find, but it's actually hiding here."

A clear and comfortable laughter resounded in the suddenly silent small courtyard, and at the same time a black whip came through the air, wrapped around Gu Jiu's legs, and lifted him upside down.

"Yi'er, take it steadily."

Gu Jiu felt himself being thrown high, facing the black sky, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, all the red ropes on his body were broken, and he fell heavily, falling into a chest that was not very wide, but was extremely hot.

Gu Jiu raised her head and met a childish, irritable and indifferent face.

"Look at what you want, come down if you're not dead." The owner of the face said to Gu Jiu like this.
