After inheriting the Taoist temple in the haunted house, the ancestors appeared

The next morning, when Tang Gui woke up, the sun was already high, he got up from the bed with his waist, asked Chu Yang to take out the burning brazier with only ashes left, and went to the kitchen by himself. Pot dumplings.

Today's winter solstice, Tang Gui not only made his own, but also made a portion for Chu Yang and the old ghost.

Maybe it was because he was satisfied with the food last night, Chu Yang sat on the altar table in a casual posture, picked up the chopsticks and flipped through them twice, but didn't taste any of them.

After dinner, Tang Gui saw that the weather was fine, so he shoveled the snow from the yard to the outside of the wall, and made an open space. He used a stool to pad it underneath, put two door panels on the stool, and dried the incense wood.

The sun in winter is not particularly strong, and it is warm on the body. It seems that it takes a long time to dry.

After finishing all this work, Tang Gui had nothing to do, so he went to the Xipei Hall to play mahjong with the old ghosts and the others. They played until it was dark, and then he got up to make dinner for himself.

Dinner is still dumplings. After eating and washing, I lie back on the bed, check the blessing text messages from those WeChat friends with my mobile phone, and reply one by one.

After replying, it was past nine o'clock in the evening. He put down his phone and got ready to sleep.

Just when Chu Yang was about to turn off the lights, he heard a familiar voice from outside: "Grand grandson!"

Hearing this, Tang Gui sat up quickly, and after a while, a gust of wind blew in through the crack of the door, and Tang Lao Liu appeared in the bedroom.

"Hey, did you go to bed so early today?"

"Ah."

Tang Gui put on his down jacket and was about to put on his clothes and get out of bed. When Tang Lao Liu saw it, he immediately said, "Don't get up, it's so cold. It's the winter solstice, have you cooked dumplings yet?"

He came over, sat down beside Tang Gui's bed, and asked, "I see a lot of things are drying in your yard, are you going to make incense for the patriarch?"

"Ah."

"It is indeed time to make incense. Last time I went to offer incense to the patriarch, I found that the incense box was empty, so I just kowtowed. I saw that you were busy at that time, so I didn't remind you."

"Ah."

"Hey, you kid, you are such a boring gourd that you can't pry your mouth open. I have said so much, so you can't answer me a few more words!"

"can."

"..."

His precious grandson is really hopeless.

Before he was alive, Tang Laoliu was worried about things, and he never dared to tell him more. Every time Tang Gui asked him, Tang Laoliu would just say a few words perfunctorily. As time went on, the communication between the two became less and less. up.

In fact, he is just this precious grandson, how can he not spoil him, he and his wife have worked so hard for so many years, isn't it just to let him grow up safely.

"grandfather."

"Well, what happened?"

"Can you tell me about my childhood?"

Tang Laoliu was taken aback, and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

"I'm just curious." Tang Gui sat up straight, rolled up the quilt, and asked him, "When did that booklet of fortune-telling appear?"

Tang Lao Liu remained silent.

"Can't you tell?"

"Before Chu Cheng said that I was the Taoist priest Fu Zhi, I still didn't believe it. I felt that he had admitted the wrong person, but a few days ago when I went to Jiyun Temple, Grandpa Wang said that Chu Cheng was the person who knew the Taoist priest Fu Zhi best. He said that I am Fuzhi, that must be true."

"Thinking about it carefully, I am indeed different from other people in some ways. If I am an ordinary person, how can I survive on a pamphlet?"

Seeing that the eldest grandson knew everything, Tang Lao Liu hesitated for a moment, and did not hide it any longer. He took out the tobacco rod from his waist, put the tobacco on, lit the dark fire, took two puffs, and then slowly said: "Actually... you Before they were born, they were destined to be different from other children."

Once the lead is opened, the following words will flow more smoothly.

"Your parents have been married for two or three years, but they have not conceived a child. They went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor also said that there is nothing wrong with their bodies, but they just couldn't conceive."

"Your grandma and I have always wanted to have a grandson or granddaughter, so we started burning incense and worshiping Buddha everywhere, and went to Taoist temples to divination and pray for a child. It didn't work until we went to Jiyun Temple to offer incense as usual, and met the previous old temple master."

"At that time, he was more than 130 years old. He was the famous old birthday star of Jiyun Temple. Many people would worship him specially in order to live a long life like him. At that time, your grandma and I happened to pass by. He stopped me suddenly and asked if I was Want grandchildren?"

"I was very shocked at the time and asked him how he knew? He said he heard it. At first he thought it was me and your grandma who often went to the Taoist temple. Inner obsession."

"He also gave me a divination, saying that I would lose my son in middle age and have no heirs. I wanted to kill someone when I heard it. I thought he was cursing me to cut off my children and grandchildren. When he saw that I was angry, he was not angry. He just smiled and said If I want to have grandchildren, he can help."

"I was so angry at the time that I ignored him. I didn't even enter the gate of the Taoist temple, so I dragged your grandma away."

"It's been like this for another year, and your mother's stomach still hasn't moved. I'm too anxious. Your father is afraid that I will let them divorce and proposes to adopt a child. I don't agree."

"At that time, I couldn't sleep all night, and the old temple master's words that I can help kept spinning in my mind."

"In the end I compromised and went to Jiyun Temple alone. I met the old temple master as I wished. When he saw me passing by, he smiled and said that if you don't come again, I will die. I was still angry and thought, Why do you think I will definitely come?"

"Afterwards, the old temple master took out that red booklet and asked me what name I want to name my grandson?"

"I was puzzled. I felt that this person was talking about it. I thought that he was not pregnant yet, so what was the matter of naming, but I saw that he was so determined, and he didn't want to disappoint, so he gave me to his future grandson a long time ago. Tell him the name you think of."

"Tang Weiping, to be able to make great achievements and great achievements means peace and security."

"The old temple master shook his head in dissatisfaction after hearing this, saying that this name is not good, and it does not match the fate of my future grandson. In the end, he suggested that I use the word 'rule', which means to be well-behaved, and it is also I don't think the meaning of breaking the rules sounds good, and I don't want to break the rules, but he said that this word is suitable for you, so I reluctantly agreed."

"Actually, I was crazy about wanting to hug my grandson. Let alone Tang Gui, even Tang Goudan, I agreed."

Tang Gui: "..."

It doesn't have to be so humble.

Tang Lao Liu continued: "After that, he explained to me some things, saying that I had no children and grandchildren, and you are the child he lent me, so you will not be under the jurisdiction of the underworld. He can keep you worry-free for the first three years. worry about it, but I will rely on me to help you catch ghosts and earn money to continue your life."

"At that time, I might have been dazed, thinking that as long as I have a grandson, I will support you even if I die. On that day, I entered the Taoist sect and became an unknown amateur Taoist priest."

"It's strange to say that when I got home, I asked your parents to press the booklet under the pillow according to the method of the old temple master. However, after a month or so, the good news came. I was so happy at that time. Your grandma asked me How did I do it, I didn't think much about it at the time, so I told her about it."

"October after you were born, I noticed that the time in the booklet began to decrease every day. Although I was a Taoist priest in name, I didn't have a teacher, let alone a Taoist certificate. No qualifications."

"I originally wanted to go to Jiyun Temple to ask the former old temple master, but I didn't expect him to have already sat down, and the time just happened to be the second day after your birth."

Grandpa Xu remembered the difficulty at that time, heaved a long sigh, squatted down, and knocked the cigarette pot on the ground.

"I really don't know what to do, but at the time I was thinking that I, Tang Laoliu, finally had a grandson, and I must never lose it like this again!"

"I bought a lot of Taoism books and planned to study on my own. As you know, a teacher learns things quickly. It didn't take long for me to learn a lot of the above things, thinking about where to try it."

"Looking for ghosts, of course, places like crematoriums and cemeteries. I bravely came to the western suburbs cemetery at night, opened my yin and yang eyes, and squatted at the gate to look inside to see if I could see something."

Speaking of this, Grandpa suddenly laughed: "Guess what happened?"

Before Tang Gui could answer, old man Tang continued: "I didn't look at anything, hahaha, it's pitch black inside, let alone ghosts, I can't even see the tombstone clearly, I can't see anything, don't you dare?" After entering, I plan to go back, after all, it is the first time I come to this kind of place, I feel a little timid in my heart."

"Oh, I was the one who turned my back. I met a ghost hitting the wall. I was riding a bicycle. I clearly remembered to park the car on the side of the road, but I walked for more than ten minutes and didn't see it."

"My first reaction at the time was that someone had stolen it, and I scolded the car thief for a long time, but the more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong. The road seemed to have no end, and the two sides were always gray, so I couldn't see clearly. The surrounding environment, I was not conscious at the moment, so I took out a talisman from my satchel and lit it, and silently recited the evil spell in my mouth, but there was no response after fumbling for a long time, and I was still trapped in the ghost wall."

"It was at that time that I met my master. He was the gatekeeper at the entrance of the cemetery, but he called himself a cemetery guard. At that time, he took a bell S and shook it casually twice, and the ghost hit the wall and disappeared immediately."

"I thought he was capable, so I wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he thought I was too old and refused to accept me. I pestered him for a long time, and I went to the cemetery after school, holding those incomprehensible Taoism books. Go ask him."

"In the end, he got annoyed by the questions, so he reluctantly answered me a few words. After a long time, he taught me things by default. I went to the guard room in the cemetery. I saw a few books next to his pillow, so I read them. After reading it, ask him to exchange a few copies for me.”

"After more than half a year like this, he started to take me to catch ghosts, and when he beat the little ghost, I took the booklet and went up to press it."

"This pamphlet is also miraculous. The numbers really change, but the increase is very slow. The old man catches thirty or forty little ghosts, and he only has one or two points of evil spirits, which increases his lifespan by one or two months..."

Tang Lao Liu recalled the past with great interest and talked endlessly.

Tang Gui listened patiently, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes turned red unconsciously, and asked him, "Grandpa, do you regret it?"

Old man Tang was having fun talking, but he didn't realize it for a while: "What."

"Let my parents give birth to me."

"Hey, why do you regret this? You are my precious grandson, so what if I risk my life? Besides, it's all because of you that I'm able to work as a errand now."

"Don't think about it too much. You have been more thoughtful than others since you were a child. With such a smart head, don't think about being stupid anymore."

"The old temple master didn't tell me that you are the Taoist leader Fu Zhi, but only told me to keep the secret and treat you like an ordinary child, so what's the matter, my grandson of Tang Lao Liu is naturally not an ordinary person!"

Hearing the pride in his tone, Tang Gui finally couldn't help but lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Regardless of the cold, he hugged Tang Lao Liu who was squatting on the ground, and said with a choked voice, "Grandpa."

Tang Lao Liu's body froze, and it took him a long time to reach out and pat him.

He obviously didn't say anything, but he seemed to say everything.
