My Taoist Career

This time, Old Man Jiang's actions made everyone feel that it was too simple. Even as his disciple, I felt that compared with the dazzling spells in the past, Old Man Jiang's actions this time were too simple.

He just took the glutinous rice, looked left and right in front of the stone gate, found a place, and pasted the talisman on it with freshly steamed glutinous rice.

What is this?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to question his actions. Only I saw a red strange beast embedded in the stone gate in a trance the moment the talisman was attached to the stone gate.

This silver talisman is definitely not simple, even I have this feeling.

This feeling was only for a moment. When I woke up, I realized that I had only paid attention to Old Man Jiang's actions just now, but didn't pay attention to this stone gate. Only now did I realize that this stone gate is too weird.

What do you say?The outer frame of the stone gate is directly carved into a big mouth, and it is unknown what kind of animal it is, and the two sharp fangs are even more penetrating.

There are weird relief carvings on the stone gate. I don’t know what those carvings are, but they are all the kind of small people who are less than half a meter tall, with skinny bones and protruding stomachs, surrounded by leaves. The strange thing is the faces of those small people. All had unusually protruding noses and pointed fangs.

The reliefs are extremely vivid, as long as those little people look at them, they will have a feeling that they are hungry, they are very hungry, you can see them drooling, looking at anything with a greedy face, just like want to swallow.

The villains in these reliefs are all worshiping a coffin, and there is a strange smiling face engraved on the coffin, which seems to be a smile but not a smile. The eyes are very strange, as if they are obviously greedy, but trying to pretend to be merciful, the smiling face It's just a simple smiling face, without any extra carvings to express anything, but everyone feels that the owner of that smiling face is a woman.

In the center of the coffin, there is also a heart that is dripping blood. When people take a first look at that heart, they don't want to take a second look, because ordinary people can feel resentment.

This is not something I guessed in vain. The crispy meat next to me is a good proof of my idea: "Sanbaer, I saw that pig's heart-like thing, and I feel like the whole world owes it What? It’s like asking for a debt from me.”

I don't know how to explain this phenomenon, and I don't understand, but those strange and extraordinary feelings disappeared after a short while after the talisman was pasted on. Feeling cold.

After the old man Jiang pasted the talisman, he came back and only said one sentence; "Bury it, it's best to say hello to the person in charge here, repair it here, don't let ordinary people come near here, Just say something happened, and no one can afford it.”

After finishing speaking, Old Man Jiang took Su Rou and me by the hand and walked out.

"Master, where are you going?" This is the end of the matter, leaving?

Old man Jiang ignored me, turned his head to old Mr. Wu and said to his master and apprentice, "Would you like to go to my apprentice's house for a cup of tea?"

"No, I'm going to buy some dry tobacco leaves from Lao Lin in the town. If you go late, you'll be gone. You can bring your apprentice to my place some other day. I'll treat you two to a good meal." After saying that, Old Wu The boss took Xiaoding away.

"Lao Lin's dry tobacco leaves, heh, how does this old Mr. Wu know about this good thing?" Old Mr. Jiang talked to himself for a while, then took me and Su Rou's hand and walked out.

I quit and said, "Master, is this the end? Where are you taking me?"

"Where are you going? Go back to your house! What do you mean it's over, I have to come again at night, don't you care about those lonely souls?" Old man Jiang let go of my hand, licked my face, and then pulled I keep going.

At this time, Su Rou was trembling with excitement, and he said, "Master Jiang, I haven't seen a real ghost yet? Can you take me with you tonight?"

I'm so overwhelmed by the crispy meat, I haven't found him so bold on weekdays?Today, you have to take the initiative to ask to see ghosts. What is the reason?

"No! I have no reason to bring you out in the middle of the night! Do you want to see ghosts? Hehe, you only need to follow Sanwaer in the future, and there will be plenty of opportunities." Old man Jiang directly rejected the crispy meat.

Su Rou was a little downcast, but when he thought about it, it was the same reason. He ran out in the middle of the night, and when he came back, he still had to punish his father for not eating for a week?

Forget it, I saw a lot of new things today, probably thinking of this, Su Rou became excited again, still looking heartless.

As for me, I still couldn't forget that stone gate, so I asked, "Master, what are those carved on that stone gate? Why do I feel uncomfortable looking at it?"

Hearing this, old man Jiang's face darkened, and he didn't speak for a while.

I patiently waited for the old man Jiang to give me an answer, but at some point, Su Rou took out the bag of rotten boiled potatoes from his clothes, and started to eat 'baji, baji'.

I waited for a long time without old man Jiang answering. When I looked up, I only saw old man Jiang's eyes staring at the crispy 'rotten potatoes'.

"Little fat baby, what are you eating?" Old man Jiang smiled, and I felt a chill in my heart when I saw that.

"Boil potatoes." Crispy Rou said vaguely while stuffing potatoes into his mouth.

"Is that delicious?" Old man Jiang asked persistently.

"It's ready, sprinkle some salt, it's fragrant." Su Rou replied while eating, he couldn't figure out what old man Jiang meant. Speaking of which, my cheap master and I have only been together for 2 days. I don't know what he meant by asking about the bag of rotten potatoes.

"Fat baby, give me something to eat." After being silent for nearly half a minute, the old man Jiang suddenly yelled angrily, which shocked me and Su Rou, especially Su Rou, who almost grabbed the potato in his hand. Did not fall to the ground.

"Really, I've asked you so many times, but I don't even know how to give me something to eat." Old man Jiang grabbed the potato in Crispy Rou's hand, muttered, and began to eat it.

Su Rou wants to cry, but I feel that this old man Jiang has lost all my face. Su Rou is my good brother. Seeing with my own eyes that I have such a master, he even wants to snatch potatoes from children's hands... ..

My mind was in a mess, so I had to quickly change the subject: "Master, you haven't said what is carved on the stone gate?"

I guess he had to eat potatoes. Old man Jiang was in a good mood. While munching, he replied very directly: "Hungry ghost, you are the kind of guy who eats everything."

"Cough...cough..." Su Rou coughed violently for a while, and all the potatoes in his mouth sprayed out, probably because he coughed too much, some potatoes sprayed out of his nose directly, how embarrassing it would be Embarrassed.

After coughing up the crispy meat, he and I looked at each other directly. The meaning, we both understood without having to communicate. There was no image in front of us, chewing the snatched one, especially emphasizing that it was the old man Jiang who snatched the children's potatoes. Hungry ghost' huh?

It's a pity that even if I had 120 guts, I wouldn't dare to ask old man Jiang whether he was a 'hungry ghost' or not.As for the crispy meat, even if he was given 360 guts, he wouldn't dare to ask 'Master Jiang' if he had anything to do with the hungry ghost.

The old man Jiang finished gnawing the potatoes without feeling anything, clapped his hands, smashed his mouth a few times, made sure that the crispy meat was gone, coughed twice, and even pretended to be arrogant, walked away with his hands behind his back I went ahead, probably because I was addicted to being Jiang Ye in front of crispy meat.

I looked at Su Rou helplessly, and I couldn't express a thousand words in my eyes, so I had to hurry up and catch up with old man Jiang.

"Master, are hungry ghosts also ghosts?" I asked, the carvings on the stone gate left a deep impression on me, and I always felt that this hungry ghost had a different look.

"Hungry ghosts are just a name. Strictly speaking, they are not ghosts. They are a kind of creature. Buddhists and Taoists have different explanations for what they are! The sculptures you see are ghosts of hungry ghosts. They worship The coffin, buried... should be the ghost mother. Do you know where the folk legend of ghosts cannibalism comes from? Actually, it is about hungry ghosts, not ghosts transformed by human souls after death."

As soon as old man Jiang finished speaking, I shivered. In fact, for me now, I am almost numb to ordinary ghosts, but which child is not afraid of this man-eating ghost?I looked back at Su Rou, his goosebumps were all over his neck, this kid is worse than me.

I really want to know more about hungry ghosts, ghost mothers, and what kind of existence hungry ghosts are in the eyes of Master, but I dare not ask, and I guess the crispy meat on the side would not dare to ask. listened.

Fortunately, the old man Jiang didn’t want to say more, he just said: “More than 100 years ago, the hungry ghosts almost disappeared from this world. Xie Xinger, you two don't go, do you hear me?"

Su Rou and I agreed obediently, who has nothing to do to see that kind of ghost who wants to eat people?There is also a **** mother, and I feel chills when I think of it.

After saying this, the old man Jiang became silent, his expression was different from before. He didn’t know what he was thinking. Anyway, Su Rou and I didn’t dare to ask. So many things happened today, our two brains Neither can be fully digested.
