Hit the yin and yang road

The babbling and babbling opera singing in the ancestral hall floated along the wind, and those mournful tunes could be faintly heard.Chen Yang looked at the wall clock, the moonlight came in and he saw that the hour hand was between three and four o'clock, and it was almost four o'clock.At four o'clock, the theater ends, and those wandering ghosts who are attracted to watch the theater will come out to wander.

Wander around for at least an hour, and the group of ghosts will leave at five o'clock when the cock crows.But now there is still half an hour, as long as you run back within half an hour to avoid the parade of ghosts.Thinking of this, Chen Yang immediately opened the door and ran out, while the mummy behind him crawled out quickly with twisted limbs, which can be said to be flying over the wall.

When Chen Yang ran to the edge of the bridge, he looked back and saw the group of mummified corpses still following behind him, as if none of them were left behind.The dog of the family in the distance barked uncomfortably in this direction when it sensed something dirty. The family got up in the middle of the night thinking it was a thief, opened the door and saw a group of black stripes lying on the ground in the darkness.As he walked over, he scolded: "Don't you sleep in the middle of the night and rush to see the ghost?"

The light of the flashlight shone on the face of a mummy, and the face with no facial features but three black holes suddenly screamed at him.The wife got up with her coat on and said, "What's going on?" The husband quickly drove her back: "Go back to sleep, you shouldn't be watching something. Go back quickly."

The wife looked out of the window: "Why did I see Chen Yang standing at the bridge? Will something happen? Why don't you call him in."

"It's troublesome! It's not like you don't know how evil he is. What day is it today? The ghost gate is open, and the roadside is full of wild ghosts. Chen Yang can't die, his life is hard. Don't be so kind and let him kill us! "The husband drove his wife back to the room with a dark face.

Just as the wife was about to turn around, a mummy slammed into the window. The terrifying appearance made the wife scream and roll her eyes before fainting.The husband and the dog were too frightened to speak out, and hid in a place out of the moonlight.The mummy stood quietly outside the window for a while, and when it didn't see any movement, it wanted to go around to the door and go in through the door.But seeing the second door god shouted out of thin air, golden light flashed, and the mahogany sword in Shen Tu's hand chopped the mummy under his feet, turning it into ashes and slowly sinking into the cracks in the ground.

Out of the corner of Chen Yang's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a rooster stuck on a bamboo pole at the head of the bridge. The rooster's shiny tail hair lost its color due to death, and its pea-sized eyes had no light.There was still a pile of firecracker ashes at the rooster's feet, soaked in water and becoming extremely dirty.Three bowls were placed on top of the firecracker ashes, and inside the bowls were white rice with incense ash on it.

This means that someone has recently drowned in the river under the bridge.The purpose of the rooster is to invoke the soul, calling the soul of the dead back to attach to the rooster, and then killing the rooster to send the dead to reincarnation.Otherwise, the deceased can only be an animal if he is attached to the rooster, and he will miss the original chance of reincarnation after death again.Firecrackers and joss sticks are used to intimidate and reward other lonely ghosts, so as not to occupy the quota for soul calling.Three bowls of white rice mixed with incense ash is the last meal before sending the deceased to reincarnation.

Every year, several people die in the river under the bridge, and if they have money, they will ask someone to salvage the corpses, and then invite witches or some Taoist priests who claim to be celestial masters to save the dead souls.However, there is no money to hire corpse-hunting teams and Taoist priests, so a large number of dead souls are still accumulated in the river.

Standing in the middle of the bridge, Chen Yang heard familiar rustling sounds, like reptiles crawling around under the bridge, very densely.Accompanied by these sounds was the sound of ticking water. There is no doubt that all the water ghosts in the river crawled out and attached themselves to the bottom of the bridge deck and were about to climb onto the bridge deck.Before he had time to think about it, Chen Yang took off the red rope on his wrist, tied the copper coin to the end, and after making sure it was tied tightly, he ran forward without looking back.

The whitened and swollen corpse behind him climbed out from the bridge deck, and confrontation was inevitable when the water ghost and the mummy met.Both sides wanted to monopolize the only chance to return the sun, so they began to bite.Some water ghosts rolled to the bottom of the river with the mummy in their arms, or tore each other's hands and feet.In the end, the majority of water ghosts grabbed the flexible but not so many mummy corpses. The white, rotten and swollen corpses climbed onto the bridge and made grunting noises at Chen Yang who was running over.

Its tongue was soaked in water, and its vocal cords were also damaged by water, so it could only make a gurgling sound.His whole body was swollen like a fat man weighing two hundred catties, water stains were left everywhere he crawled, and he gave off a stench.Chen Yang wrapped the red rope around the palm of his hand, and whipped the end tied with the copper coin towards the corpse. Yang Qi burned the water ghost.

But the water ghost has been numb to pain since it was soaked in water, so it is not afraid of being burned by yang energy.Chen Yang did not stop but accelerated towards the water ghost, and passed under the water ghost's armpit. He nimbly wrapped the red rope around the water ghost's neck, jumped onto the opponent's shoulder and pinched his hands: "Left Fu Liujia, Youwei Liuding, kill the evil spirits first, and then kill the night light, hurry like a law!"

The water ghost struggled endlessly but was beheaded under the red rope and the ghost-killing curse. This act temporarily deterred other water ghosts, causing them not to dare to go forward.Chen Yang took the opportunity to escape, his face was pale when he turned around.The Ghost Killing Curse is extremely domineering, and he hasn't fully grasped it yet. What he did just now was just to frighten the group of water ghosts and buy him time and opportunity to escape.Otherwise he wouldn't even be able to cross the bridge.

Running across the bridge towards the ancestral hall, Chen Yang calculated the time in his mind and found that it was not enough, he needed to hurry up.When he was away from the bridge, he looked back and found that the black and white ghosts on the bridge were crawling in his direction, and it seemed that he reacted and chased him.

With a bang, Chen Yang pushed open the gate of the ancestral hall out of breath.Sheng Dan, who was singing on the stage, stopped and looked over. It was invisible to the naked eye but Chen Yang could see it. There were hundreds of chairs in the open space of the ancestral hall, and every seat was crowded with ghosts watching the opera.And those ghosts looked at him in unison at this time, and there were also two ghost messengers standing by the door.

The two ghosts looked at Chen Yang up and down, thinking that he was a lonely ghost who had escaped, so they wanted to come over and ask his name so that he could be registered in the register.However, the class leader who guarded the ancestral hall to prevent strangers from intruding quickly walked up to Chen Yang and said, "Get out! The living can't come in and disturb the ancestors. You young people don't have the slightest awe. Are you here to die? Get out quickly. go out."

Chen Yang passed the class leader and said to him: "Let me hide for a while." After speaking, he bowed to the two ghost messengers, "Please be more accommodating." After speaking, he walked into the center of the courtyard.All the ghosts in the court stared at him, and the two ghosts were quite surprised.It was the first time they saw a stranger who was as sinister as a ghost, and after looking at each other, they found that the other party could actually see them.

One of the two ghost messengers said: "Looking at the yin energy all over his body, he should die soon." The other ghost messenger said: "The yin energy is blocking his face, so I can't see his fate. Do you think we should take care of it?"

One of the ghost messengers pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The number of fate is strange, and the fate is extraordinary. Either die young, if you don't die early, you will definitely achieve something extraordinary, and I am afraid that you will have more connections with our underworld in the future. Selling his face now, we will be better in the future. .”

After speaking, the two ghosts really didn't care, they didn't care, and the ghosts present didn't dare to move around.What's more, these are all ghosts who died of natural old age, waiting for their Yinshou to die in the underworld.As long as the yin life is exhausted, one can be reincarnated, so basically there is no resentment.They didn't covet Chen Yang's special physique and were not in a hurry to return it. Instead, they stared at him and whispered.After all, they are from the same village, and some of them are elders of Chen Yang. If they recognize him, they want to ask him to come and talk with him, so as to know the recent situation of the descendants in Yangjian.

The ghost messenger shouted: "The living are not allowed to communicate with the dead." But that's all.

As for the class leader, he felt a gloomy coldness. He shrank his shoulders and closed his mouth to stop Chen Yang.The stage is the place where strange things are most likely to happen, especially the stage where ghosts are sung.The lead singer has been singing for decades, so he has naturally encountered strange things.So he knew that once something strange happened, he could just keep his mouth shut, and he couldn't participate, so he made a gesture to let Shengdan on the stage continue to sing.

Then the class leader looked at Chen Yang in the open space, but saw a chair was automatically pulled away when no one was there, and Chen Yang seemed to be pulled by something to get onto the chair.Many fruit tributes on the table also floated in the air and piled up in front of Chen Yang.The class leader closed the door, closed his mouth and buried his head in the corner, trying his best not to hear or hear.

Chen Yang is receiving cordial condolences from all the grandparents who have passed away in the same village. These people once watched their parents grow up and were friends with their grandpa.And right now, he was sitting beside his grandfather, pulling the corner of his clothes and smiling obediently.

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the gate of the ancestral hall, and the class master frowned and shouted: "The stage of the ancestral hall, strangers are not allowed to approach." But the knock on the door became more urgent, as if the door would be knocked open in the next second.

The class leader got up and was about to open the door, but Chen Yang shouted at him: "Don't open it." The class leader turned around in surprise, and was about to ask something when he saw him staring at the door solemnly.The knock on the door gradually turned into a crash, and the wooden peg behind the door trembled several times.Under such circumstances, the leader also guessed in his heart that the person knocking on the door was probably not a stranger.He took a few steps back, shrinking into the corner of the wall.

Chen Yang stood up with a gloomy expression, but was held back by his grandfather.He lowered his head in surprise and saw his grandfather smiling at the other fanciers, who waved to him.Afterwards, Grandpa pulled him up and ran towards the back of the stage. Seeing this, the ghost messenger tried to catch up but was stopped by the ghost.Then the wooden bolt was shaken open, and the door opened and climbed in a lot of mummified water ghosts.

The ghost messengers are busy catching evil spirits and stabilizing the ghosts who have come out of the underworld, so they have no time to take care of the escaped ghosts.The troupe master and Shengdan on the stage were startled by the knocked open door, and then a huge wind blew over, knocking over all the tables, chairs and tributes under the stage.They knew something was wrong, they hurriedly hid behind the stage and invited Patriarch Hua Guang out.

Patriarch Huaguang is the god of drama enshrined by the troupe, also known as the god of fire.Patriarch Huaguang saw the evil spirits causing chaos in the world, and almost burned down the stage. At the request of the two ghosts who were defeated by the evil spirits, he appeared to help him suppress the ghosts.

Grandpa Chen took Chen Yang to the small gate of the ancestral hall, opened the small gate and sent him away.Chen Yang heard the chaotic noise from the stage, and was a little worried: "I thought the ancestral hall could resist those evil spirits."

"Evil ghosts are greedy and won't retreat just because of a door. You hurry up, it's almost dawn. On the fourth watch, all ghosts will be brought back to the underworld, but be careful of the evil ghosts who haven't returned to the underworld to report. "Grandpa Chen pushed his grandson out the door: "Don't worry about the situation on the other side of the stage. Those two ghost guards used to guard the evil spirits before, and they have their own ways to deal with them. Besides, there is also Patriarch Huaguang in the stage. A person in the Taoist sect, although his cultivation is not deep, but he has a predestined relationship with the Patriarch, if he invites Patriarch Huaguang out, those evil spirits will not be afraid."

Tears welled up in Chen Yang's eyes, quite reluctant.Grandpa Chen closed the door and said with a kind smile: "Let's go, the tenet of Taoism is to respect and value life. Yangyang, live well." After finishing speaking, the door was closed.

Chen Yang wiped away his tears, turned around and ran towards home.When passing bridges and street corners, I found that a large number of ghosts were brought into the underworld. The fourth watch has arrived, and the gate of ghosts will be closed.But this time is the most dangerous moment for Chen Yang, because not only the ghosts want to kill him, but even the ghost catching ghosts regard him as a ghost and want to take him back to the underworld.

Chen Yang had no choice but to hide and run towards the house. At the alley, he met Yasha, who specialized in catching evil spirits.That Yasha had bad eyesight, and directly regarded Chen Yang as an evil spirit trying to escape, and chased him with the iron chain.Yasha was two meters tall, one step was equivalent to Chen Yang's two steps, and quickly approached him.Yasha is also an evil ghost, but he is a ghost from the underworld.

When Chen Yang used the red rope copper coin to block back, Yasha recognized him as a celestial master, which made Yasha even more angry: "The celestial master who cultivates the Tao knows how to break the law, and uses Taoism to escape reincarnation! The crime is aggravated!"

Years of experience let Chen Yang know that even if he stops now to argue that he is a human or not a ghost, it is useless, Yasha will still nail his ecstasy chains into his limbs and drag him into the underworld.In this way, even if a mistake is found, the underworld government will correct the mistake.Because of his special physique, even Fengdu's underworld would not allow this person to grow up safely in the yang world.

Chen Yang took a small path and ran home, facing Yasha at the door.He quickly ran into the house, Yasha couldn't enter the house, so he wandered outside, looked at Chen Yang through the window and tried to drag him away from the window.

At this time, the rooster crows three times, and the sky will reveal its belly white.Yasha broke into the house regardless of taboos, and Chen Yang held the red rope and copper coins and waited for it.When the two sides were about to fight, Grandpa Wu came back with the wine bottle, and he didn't show any surprise when he saw the ferocious Yasha in the room.He only asked Chen Yang to put away the red string copper coins, and handed him the wine bottle: "Take it to the kitchen and put it away."

Chen Yang didn't object much, and walked towards the kitchen with the wine bottle.Yasha threw the chain suddenly, and the thick iron chain rubbed and sparked, but was blocked by a copper coin sword when it touched Chen Yang.Chen Yang paused, and went into the kitchen to put the wine bottle away.Hearing the sound of fighting outside, it subsided after a while.When he walked out, he saw Grandpa Wu sitting on the sofa with a tired look on his face.

Chen Yang walked over and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Wu, are you alright?"

Grandpa Wu beckoned him to sit down, then opened his eyes and said, "Yangyang, Grandpa's time is coming."

Chen Yang was shocked, his face was full of sadness: "Is it because of me?"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense. I don't count as your master. We have nothing to do with you. How did you kill me? No, who said you beat people to death? Your destiny is not the lone star of the evil spirit, and you won't kill me. Friends and relatives, you don’t believe me.” Grandpa Wu glared at him, and said, “It’s been said that your parents and grandpa were killed by ghosts, it’s not you who died. My time is approaching because my life is exhausted. Well, my lifespan is written in the book of life and death, and it will only be this year, and it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Yang pursed his lips, extremely sad.It took a long time to suppress the question: "When is this year?"

"Winter." Grandpa Wu placed his rough hands on Chen Yang's head. He was worried about the child, so he had a relationship with him for many years, and he even asked the person in the ancient tomb to replace Chen Yang with difficulty. Fight for a big opportunity.It's just that chance is also dangerous. One side is a flat road, and the other side is full of blades.If he fails, Chen Yang will be killed immediately, and no one can save him.But if he succeeds, he will no longer need to be infested by ghosts and ghosts, and he will be able to live a good life.

He said earnestly, "Your chance has been found."

Chen Yang was stunned: "Found it? What is it?"

"Yin relative." Grandpa Wu said, "I made a yin relative for you."
