Chapter 165
From Yang Jisong’s mouth, I learned: This red-clothed ghost named Bei Moxue was a life-saving ghost brought in by his grandfather because their family has been carrying a curse for generations. It seems that their ancestors provoked a particularly powerful person.
Caused by evil spirits.
That curse prevented everyone in Yang Jisong's family from living past the age of 18, so for hundreds of years, their family has been extremely sparse.
However, something happened in his great-grandfather's generation: his great-grandfather was summoned by a ghost during a ghost collection. Because of the devil's pleading, his great-grandfather felt pity for the ghost, but he was also afraid of this ghost.
He wanted to go out and harm others, so he signed a contract with the ghost and bound him to his side.
When he was 18 years old, his great-great-grandfather encountered a life-and-death disaster. Unexpectedly, the ghost of the contract was also kind and righteous, and helped his great-grandfather block the disaster. It was wiped out and his great-grandfather became a ghost.
In hundreds of years, he is the first man to live to be 90 years old.
In order to commemorate the ghost, my great-grandfather set up a plaque for it and kept it at home.
Accumulated from generation to generation, the ancestral hall of the Yang Jisong family has many more ghost plaques than the memorial tablets of ancestors. Behind every child born in the Yang family, there will be a ghost who protects his life.
Those ghosts will carry the child to the place with the heaviest yin energy nearby on the day when the child is full moon, and recruit a life-saving ghost for it. If the ghost cannot be successfully recruited on the day of life-saving, it can only depend on the child's future luck.
If you are lucky, you can hunt and recruit one before you turn 18. If you are not lucky, on the day you turn 18, you will be cursed and die from bleeding from the seven orifices.
But basically every child can be recruited.
It was also from the time of Grandpa Yang Jisong that their family began to prosper. His grandfather had 7 brothers and sisters, and his father also had 4 brothers and sisters.
And Yang Jisong also had an older brother, but he couldn't keep it right after he was born and died young. Yang Jisong can be regarded as a baby.
Because Yang Jisong's father is the eldest son in the family, and Yang Jisong is the eldest grandson, his grandfather recruits ghosts and teaches him. Unlike other direct brothers and sisters in the family, Yang Jisong's talent is extremely low.
By the time his grandfather drove Hexi to the west, Yang Jisong was only able to skillfully use the 'Immortal Binding Rope' handed down from his ancestors.
After the story was told, Yang Jisong continued to swallow snacks in his mouth, but Ye Wudao on the side had already recovered from Bei Moxue's shock to him, and was still listening to Yang Jisong's story about his ancestors with great interest.
However, Ye Wudao's attitude towards Agni became even worse, and he didn't even give him a good look. Agni also had a cold look, it was really like 'two cakes touch 80,000 yuan' - looking at each other at the wrong angle.
Ye Wudao is one year younger than me, and although his brain is much better than mine, he can really be a "childish devil" sometimes. For example, right now he is grinning at Yang Jisong and saying: "Hey, buddy.
"
I twitched the corner of my mouth. It didn't take long before all my brothers called me.
"Lend me your immortal rope." Ye Wudao said like a curious baby.
Yang Jisong pondered for a moment. He glanced casually and happened to see Agni and I looking at him with our eyes wide open and stars in our eyes.
Helpless, Yang Jisong chuckled. He opened the chain of his small backpack and took out a bundle of dark gray ropes rolled into a ring.
This rope has an ordinary appearance, with sky blue jade embedded in both ends, and a long tassel hanging from it that is similar in color to the rope.
The tassels made of thread are mixed with some small particles of jade, which can also be called exquisite.
I stared at the rope for a while, but I couldn't tell what the dark gray thread was woven from.
Ye Wudao, on the other hand, took the rope from Yang Jisong rudely and rubbed it in his hand for a while. After looking over it over and over, he returned it to Yang Jisong with a bored look on his face.
"So it looks like this. I thought it would be very strange." Ye Wudao said with a flat mouth.
I yelled at Ye Wudao, he was so rude for saying that.
Yang Jisong put away the bundle of fairy ropes, "Originally, this bundle of fairy ropes was enshrined and not allowed to be used. But because I have no talent for spells, grandpa had to teach me how to use this bundle of fairy ropes for self-protection. Even giving
Mr. Agni's talismans were all drawn by his cousin. Those talismans can only make a person see ghosts in a short period of time."
Ye Wudao complained bluntly: "Then you are useless, aren't you? Why would Agni invite you?"
"Well," Yang Jisong was embarrassed by these words, but he still said frankly: "Because when Mr. Agni went to our library to ask for help, I was the only one who was idle. Everyone in the family took over the task.
Went out."
"Wow. Do you still have a gym at home?" Ye Wudao said.
Yang Jisong waved his hand: "No, it's not a gym, it's just an ordinary ghost hall, selling paper coffins or something like that. Everyone in the family has legitimate jobs, and taking on some supernatural tasks is just a part-time job to make extra money.
I am the only one who inherited that Mingtang family because of my eldest son and grandson. Right? Let me tell you if the Wudao family has any treasures or anything like that."
Yang Jisong changed the subject and asked.
Now that the other party had told everything, Ye Wudao cleared his throat and began to talk nonsense seriously: "My family is in decline because my grandfather has been exposed to five evils and three shortcomings, and my father is the one who has been blessed with a son for a long time.
I taught my father some ghost-catching skills, and he passed away and left us.
As for the treasures passed down from our ancestors? I have never heard of them. Our family is not as big as yours." Ye Wudao waved his hand and teased with humility.
Yang Jisong shook his head and just said, "Don't be joking." Before he finished speaking, Agni suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and interjected: "Hey, Yang Jisong, do you feel that the temperature has dropped a lot?
, it’s chilly all around.”
After hearing what he said, I also felt a strong chill around me.
When the temperature dropped just now, I thought it was just because it was late at night, which was natural. But now it has reached the point where my breath can freeze, and it is difficult not to care.
Agni shivered from the cold, and kept rubbing his arms, trying to use the friction to generate heat to keep him warm. I was a little better, the temperature now was much higher than the temperature on the big ice block where Wangyou was lying, and it was even better.
Within the acceptable range.
Seeing him like this, Yang Jisong quickly took off his coat.
When I saw that he was wearing a coat underneath, I couldn't help but ask, "How many have you worn?" It's just autumn, so he's getting ready for the winter.
Yang Jisong scratched his head and smiled: "Because I have been cold since I was a child, and it rained two days ago, so I wore a few more layers, just two coats and a warm jacket."
That's it? Just pay it off? If you wear it so thickly, you really won't be afraid of getting prickly heat.
