Taboo Master

Chapter 6 The Curse of the Family

Taboos have existed in human life since ancient times.

At that time, people saw all kinds of strange things in this world, and they were deeply amazed, and they thought that in this world, there were all kinds of gods and spirits, which were superior to human beings.

People are in awe of all kinds of supernatural powers, so they set up many taboos and regard them as untouchable minefields. Like the laws of the world, they play the role of norms and restrictions.Violation of taboos may bring destruction and death. People stipulate that those who break and violate taboos shall be punished.

Thus, an ancient profession was born, that is, the Taboo Master.

In ancient times, the role of taboo masters was similar to that of today's judges. They sorted out the hazards of various taboos and the corresponding sanctions, and made them into laws. Taboo masters were actually taboo supervisors and sanction executors.

However, man is the primate of all things and possesses the supreme wisdom. In the process of supervision and execution, the taboo teacher slowly explored the law of taboo, the method to prevent the occurrence of taboo, and the remedial measures after violating the taboo, and comprehended from it The mysterious power contained in the taboo.

And our Han family is the lineage of the ancient taboo masters. Although the population has always been rare, but for thousands of years, because of its special abilities, it has become a mysterious family that everyone talks about in awe.

However, the Han family is a hermit family. It has always only been active among the people, helping people get rid of taboos, and sanctioning those who maliciously break taboos.Throughout the dynasties, only when there is a great crisis in the world, the Han family will show up publicly to save the world.

However, I don't know from which generation, the Han family suddenly suffered from a strange disease, or in other words, it seemed that they were planted with the most vicious curse. All members of the Han family could not live to be 40 years old.To be precise, it should be from the age of 35 that the body gradually weakens, as if being drained of essence and blood, until it weakens and dies. This process takes at most five years, and at least three years, and the pain in it is indescribable.

The reason is that it is said that the head of the contemporary Han family, because of the Yellow River floods for many years, could not bear to see the lives of people in misery, and the people were displaced, so he forcibly cast a spell to change the river course, but somehow violated the family taboo, which caused such a catastrophe. The Han family at that time thought No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the curse from coming.

The Han family died in pain one after another, and the Han family, which was originally a small population, became even more withered.Several generations later, the grandparents passed down to the grandfather have already been passed down in a single line. The glorious family of the past has long since ceased to exist.

But even so, it was of no avail. Since the day his grandfather was born, he had never seen his grandfather, and his father also passed away when he was 15 years old.

Grandpa inherited the mysterious ability of the Han family, followed the ancestral precepts, and continued to run around to lift the family curse, and at the age of 20, he married a wife and had children, continuing the blood of the Han family.

The days passed day by day like this. Grandpa looked through the family diary countless times, tried various methods, and even went to the hospital for check-ups often.

Perhaps it was the effect of his grandfather's comprehensive therapy. When he was 35 years old, the curse of the family did not come. At 36 years old, his grandfather passed it safely.

This made grandpa overjoyed, thinking that he had finally broken the family taboo, and just when he wanted to sort out all the methods he had used before, the terrible disease still came.

After an inexplicable vomiting of blood, Grandpa's body became weak, his hair fell out, his muscles atrophied, and he was in his prime, but he couldn't even lift half a bucket of water. The vicious curse began to erode his body and devour his life.

It turned out that the curse did not forget Grandpa, it was just two years late.

In just over a year, Grandpa was tortured to the point of being bedridden. He was no longer able to try to save himself and his family's fate.

But at this moment, my grandfather's only son, that is, my father, hurried back from outside. He brought back a secret recipe from nowhere, saying that it could cure my grandfather's illness.

Although Grandpa didn't believe it, his body was already extremely weak, and he was powerless to stop anything. Moreover, his consciousness had begun to blur at this time, and he often fell into a coma, so he had to let his son who had just grown up treat him.

Strange to say, after one month of treatment, my grandfather's illness miraculously improved, and two months later, my grandfather was able to get up and walk, and half a year later, my grandfather had already fully recovered.

My grandfather was very surprised, and after asking all kinds of questions, my father refused to tell the truth about the treatment. He just wanted my grandfather to take good care of his body so that the old disease would not recur.

Another six months later, my grandfather completely recovered. Although he was always puzzled, he was also very happy and began to prepare for his son to marry. Because of family rules, men must marry before the age of 20, so as to continue the Han family's incense that is not prosperous.

The next thing went smoothly, the father got married, and the family finally settled down, no longer wandering around, it was considered rooted.

This year, grandpa was just 40 years old.

This year, my mother became pregnant with me, and in October, I will give birth.

However, it was also this year that my father suddenly vomited blood continuously, and within a few days, his body rapidly weakened, and his symptoms were exactly the same as those of his grandfather back then.

Grandpa and mother were running around in a hurry, but they were helpless. At three months, my father's hair fell out. At six months, his muscles atrophied. At nine months, he had to walk with a cane. At that time, he will be bedridden in half a year, and after that, he can survive for a year at most.

This terrible disease was actually transferred to his father. Grandpa was heartbroken and asked countless times about his father's treatment method. He is already 40 years old. In the family, he is already approaching the age of death. If he dies, his father will die too. So, isn't the Han family going to face an unprecedented fate?At that time, with only one infant child left, how can the inheritance of the Han family continue for thousands of years?
But my father insisted on refusing to tell me the method. He supported his body every day and endured hardship until the day I was born.

On that day, my father hugged me who was just born, wept with excitement, and even begged my grandfather to break the curse of the family, let me live well, and inherit the family inheritance.And told my mother to take good care of my grandfather and me, and then died of vomiting blood.

The grief-stricken grandfather and mother found a suicide note on their father's body, only to find out that his father had long been determined to die, and used a secret method to transfer the curse of his grandfather to himself, and in this way transferred his life to the father. Grandpa, but the algorithm is two for one, that is to say, if the father dies ten years earlier, the grandfather can live five years more, and if the father dies 20 years earlier, the grandfather can live ten years more.

It's just that my father missed me and couldn't bear to leave, so he supported me hard. After I was born, he saw his flesh and blood descendants with his own eyes, so he let go of his worries and passed away.

After my father passed away, my grandfather survived and brought me up since then. However, when I was five years old, my mother also suddenly contracted a strange disease and passed away half a year later.

So, in the following days, only my grandpa and I were left alone. In this deep mountain, far away from the crowd and all disturbances, my grandpa secretly collected various ancient and secret recipes while helping people treat diseases every day, for the purpose of One day he can completely undo the curse of the family, he really does not want to see the tragedy of the previous generation continue to be staged on me.

After Grandpa told all this, I was already in tears, but I, who was just listening in dumbfounded, seemed to catch something from it, and vaguely felt that there was something wrong.

According to what my grandfather said, if he got his father's two-for-one ten-year lifespan at the age of 40, then his lifespan should be 50 years old. However, grandpa is already 55 years old this year, and the extra five years , where did it come from?

I gradually felt cold, and I couldn't help thinking of what Ma Jiu said before his death. He said that my life span is related to my grandfather. The longer my grandfather lives, the shorter my life span will be.
Grandpa seemed to see my doubts, stood up, and said seriously: "For more than ten years, Grandpa has been looking for a way to break the curse of the family, but there has been no progress. Now that you have grown up, the mission of the family , will fall on your shoulders sooner or later, and now Grandpa will officially pass on the secret technique of the Forbidden Master to you."

"Inherit it to me."

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, and before I could react, Grandpa had already straightened his back, exuding a terrifying power all over his body, just like when he was in the cave.

Grandpa slowly took out a yellowed picture scroll from his bosom, handed it to me, and looked into the distance, as if he was talking to himself, and also seemed to be admonishing me: "Those who violate taboos are not tolerated by the world, and sooner or later they will suffer. Although my Han family violated a taboo and was cursed by the family, for many years, I didn’t even dare to use the forbidden method. But after thinking about it, I’m afraid that the way to unravel the curse should be found in the taboo. It is a pity that the family violated a taboo back then, and the secret law of the Han family was sealed. From the time of my grandfather's grandfather, the descendants of the Han family can only learn the first two levels of this secret law. I will pass on the first two levels of this forbidden law to you now. One level, that is, the method of breaking demons and ghosts."
