Onmyo Ghost Hunter

"Xiao Yuan, go to Huai Village to inform your Grandpa Man that your grandpa is dying soon."

My father's voice was slightly hoarse, and it sounded extremely heavy from behind me.

Walking out of grandpa's room, my father seems to be a few years older, and the hair horns on both sides have revealed a little silver edge. Although it has been devastated by the years, it can still be seen from the outline of his father that he was young when he was young. A very handsome young man.

After hearing what my father said, I frowned and looked out the window. The weather was very bad, the wind was cold, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the wind was blowing.

My surname is Zhong, and my first name is Yuan. Because the day I was born was the Hungry Ghost Festival, my surname happened to have the same pronunciation as the Chinese character, so I called it Zhongyuan. In a certain sense, the Hungry Ghost Festival belongs to Taoism. "Ghost's Day", "Shigu", Deadman's Day, July and a half, children born on this day, except for those with particularly hard fate, are generally weak and sick. Although I was also born on this day, I was born on that day. Born at noon, born at the time of the day when the yang energy is at its peak, so I am a little bit better than others, of course, only a little bit.

I found out later that it was my grandfather who used some local methods to support my mother from the most cloudy morning to noon.

My parents are still alive, and there is a grandpa. My grandma passed away not long after I was born. I heard from my father that there is another uncle who has never met. It seems that he does not get along with my grandpa. He only came to see me when I was born. Later, I heard from others that my uncle was prosperous in the big city and had a good life. As for why he and grandpa were at odds, no one told me in detail.

Uncle seemed to be determined not to go home. He didn't even come back to take a look at his grandfather who was seriously ill. He learned from the neighbors that his uncle had never received the news that his grandfather was seriously ill. Originally, his father planned to notify him of his illness. Uncle's, but the stubborn grandfather refused. If he saw his unfilial son come back, he would directly kill him. Grandpa's words made my father put out the little thought in his heart, so he had to give up.

Huai Village is actually not far from our village, but it is in the middle of the mountains. There are only a dozen households in the village, most of them are relatives, and it is a bit gloomy to go there during the day. The road ahead is even more terrifying. Since that incident, I rarely go out at night, let alone go to Huai Village.

It’s not long before the college entrance examination, and I don’t want to be infected with those dirty things. If I can’t take the college entrance examination as scheduled, then I won’t be able to go to a big city to study and see the outside world.Getting out of this small mountain village has been my wish since I was a child, especially when the grandson of the village chief came back from the city last time. The stylish outfit was enough to frighten the dirty slugs in our village. so I bit the bullet and said:

"Father, do you really want me to go? Last time I went there and encountered that incident, you should be very clear. If you go this time, no one will be able to rescue me. Why don't you come with me and be a with."

What I said is also true. A few years ago, I went to Manye’s house to play. Because I overplayed it for a while, it was already late when I came home. At that time, the sky was bright and the moon was in the sky. That time, the familiar road , It only takes half an hour to walk, and I walked for most of the night. Finally, Butcher Zhang at the entrance of the village passed by, saw me wandering around in place, woke me up, and then took me home.

It sounds unbelievable, but I really walked on the familiar path, not knowing that I was standing still, and then I was afraid when I thought of the strange things that the villagers said.

My father was smoking a dry cigarette, his dark and bright eyes staring at me, a pungent smell of smoke rolled towards me, and the strong smell of smoke made me cough again and again, but my father didn't blame me, and slowly After slowly looking back, he turned and walked into the room.

After a while, he pushed open the old wooden door, holding an oilcloth bag in his hand. In this era, oilcloth is relatively rare, and it is generally more common in the north, but our village already belongs to the southern region, and the oilcloth is the upper Oiled cloth for water, moisture, and humidity.

"Father, what is this?"

I looked at the things in his hand curiously. In this small house, I have played with everything, but I have never seen this cloth bag. It can be seen that this is a treasure. After playing, even my grandpa's ancient books were torn apart by me.

Dad didn't speak, but walked to the wooden table and put the oilcloth on the table. Under the dim light, the oilcloth bag exuded a mysterious luster.

"You've grown up too, so I'll leave this thing to you. Keep it well. It might be useful if you wear it on your body."

Dad carefully opened the wrapped cloth bag, and there was a round jade pendant inside. There were five gaps around the jade pendant. I stretched out my hand curiously, and five fingers fit into these gaps. match.

It just makes me a little depressed. Others say that when you hold a good jade in your hand, there will be a little warmth, but this piece of jade will feel a little cold when you hold it in your hand.

Except for these five gaps, the whole body of the jade pendant looks bright white, but there are some magical golden marks on the surface of the jade, which are not obvious. There is a small hole at the edge, I lifted it up and pointed it Turning on the light, I wanted to see the texture of this piece of jade. I was surprised to find that the center of the jade pendant was bloodshot, and it was still moving slowly.

"It would have been nice if I had given it to him back then, maybe it could have changed everything,..."

When my father saw me looking at this jade pendant, he began to talk to himself, his face full of remorse.

"Father, what is this? Why is there blood in the middle of this jade pendant? Could it be a piece of blood jade?"

I put away this jade pendant in shock, but I thought in my heart that this jade pendant should be able to exchange for some money and buy some food, but I don't know how much it can be exchanged for.

There are also many people in the countryside who have antiques. Not long ago, some people came to collect them. Many people sold the antiques at a low price, but I think this jade pendant should be able to sell for a lot of money.

There are two types of blood jade. One is a kind of red jade produced in the snowy plateau of Tibet.

Another kind of blood jade makes people feel a little scary. It does not refer to that kind of jade, but to jade that has been soaked in blood. Whether it is jadeite, Hetian, or topaz, as long as it is really transparent The blood jade is the blood jade. The formation of the blood jade is related to the corpse. When the person is buried, the jade as the jade is forced into the mouth. If the person just died, the jade that was swallowed in one breath was stuffed If it enters, it will fall into the throat with the air, and enter the densely covered blood vessels. After a long time of thousands of years, the dead blood will soak through the stains, and the blood will reach the heart of the jade, forming a gorgeous blood jade.

This kind of thing often falls into the throat of the skeleton. It is the most enveloping type among all corpse jade plugs, and it is also the most evil type. My family does not have many books, but there are still a few, including some ancient books, and some These are all the notes of some of my ancestors, which recorded many evil things.

I don't know why, but my academic performance is not good, but I am particularly interested in these weird things. I can remember many things, or I have been influenced by my grandfather since I was a child.

The whole body of the real blood jade is ruddy, and it is a jade produced in the snowy plateau of Tibet. Judging from the appearance of this jade block, it seems that it is not. If this is the case, then how can it be seen in such a special environment? arrive?

"This is a treasure handed down from our ancestors, and it's also a keepsake. You can't lose it. I heard from our ancestors that our family has accumulated a lot of bad relationships. It's only because of this piece of jade that we are safe. I know you kid Greedy, let me tell you clearly, if you lose this jade, we will all die! Well, I won’t tell you too much, anyway, you little dolls won’t believe these things, you wear This thing goes to Huai Village to find your Master Man."

Dad seemed a bit tired. Although he was still a farmer in his 30s, his back was bent due to years of hard work and there were some deep wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was 50 or [-] years old.

Although this piece of jade is not big, it is very inconvenient to carry. I took another look at the cloth bag, and there is a red string. This red string is dark red, and it is obviously made of several small red strings. , Holding it in my hand, there is a warm feeling, I put it in my nose and smell it, and I seem to be able to smell a bloody smell coming from here.

Later, I learned that it was soaked in the blood of a black dog for a certain period of time, and possessed a strong ability to ward off evil spirits.

Black dog blood can ward off evil spirits and destroy evil spirits, but a male dog with black hair must be obtained, because dogs are originally animals with strong yang energy, just like big roosters, and those evil things are born from nourishing yin, just like dog blood can remove them Generally, evil things would run away from a black dog when they saw a black dog.

After hanging this jade pendant, I bit the bullet, picked up the homemade lantern and went out.

Lanterns are actually made of that kind of big Coke bottle, sawed off in half, then put a candle in it, drilled a few small holes in it, threaded it with a rope, and then gathered it up and tied it to a wooden stick about a foot long.

In this day and age, using a flashlight is already a luxury. If you see someone in the village holding a silver-white flashlight with large batteries, the family is definitely rich.

It is already November, and the sky is already very cold, especially in the countryside, where frost will fall at night. If you wake up the next day, it will be white everywhere, so at night, when the frost falls, a bone-piercing cold sweeps across come.

My father directly put his military jacket on me. My grandfather was a soldier. My grandfather wore this clothes for my father. Although it was a little tattered, it was very warm.

After I went out, I started to go to the mountains, but I didn't know that when I took the yin and yang order, my life changed a lot, and even my relatives left me one by one.
