Chapter 9: Life Span Reduced by One Era, and the Comparison Killed
Over there, Chen Hongdao was scolded by Chen Hansheng and retreated to the house in fear.
Chen Hongde happened to go in and playfully asked, "What's wrong with you all, you all look bitter?"
Chen Hansheng immediately snarled at him, "You too, get lost!"
Chen Hongde craned his neck in fear, held his head and ran out again, not forgetting to mutter on his way out, "What's going on, even scolding me!"
Chen Hansheng turned to Chen Yuanfang and said, "You stand here and don't move, wait for grandpa for a while, grandpa will soon be able to calculate how many years he can live, when grandpa dies, you will know if it's accurate or not."
After saying that, he went into the house, out, has changed a clean dark blue linen clothes, combed his hair neatly, and lifted a joss stick set in front of the main house door, joss stick set an old incense burner, joss stick spread a futon under the case, Chen Hansheng rolled over and knelt down, burned three columns of joss stick, tilted his face toward the sky, a solemn face, his mouth chanting words.
Not long, chanting finished, Chen Hansheng will incense into the incense burner, and then get up, and from the inner room out of a black lacquer box.
After he opened the box, he took out a few old copper coins, and two tortoise shells engraved with words, and a pile of yarrow, all of which were placed on the incense burner.
I didn't know what Chen Hansheng was going to do, and Chen Yuanfang didn't seem to know either, but I saw that Chen Hongde, who had run back to peek at it again, actually looked terrified.
At this moment, I suddenly perversely felt that this was interesting.
Chen Hansheng recited to the sky for a while more, and then grabbed the copper coins and gently sprinkled them, grasped the yarrow roots in his hand, and clamped them between his fingers, seemingly counting them, and not long after that, he fiddled with the turtle shell ...... for a long time, and I saw that his forehead was densely covered with beads of sweat, and at this time of year, the weather was not so hot at all.
Chen Hansheng pondered for a long time, until the three incense burned out, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and climbed up from the ground.
Chen Hongdao ran out again, rushed to assist him, and gently asked, "How is it, father?"
Chen Hansheng smiled unnaturally and said, "It's fine."
After saying that, Chen Hansheng pushed Chen Hongdao away and shouted towards Chen Yuanfang, saying, "My child, grandpa has done the math, and you should also remember that grandpa's life expectancy is eighty-four, but now after projecting it out, his life expectancy is going to be reduced by one century, so grandpa can only live until he's seventy-two years old."
This scene was still fresh in my mind until many years later.
Because it left such a deep mark on my heart.
Just as I wanted to continue reading, Chen Hansheng suddenly shouted, "Hongde, get the hell out! Bring the guests over!"
I was shocked, so we were peeping here and Chen Hansheng he knew all about it?
It really was divine calculation!
Chen Hongde spat out his tongue and said, "Let's go. Let's see if my father is awesome."
After saying that, Chen Hongde mumbled to himself and underestimated, "But how come he's only eighty-four years old? With the old man's ability to live for such a short period of time? Still have to reduce life expectancy by one century, shouldn't be ah, even if deducing one's own life expectancy commits taboos, violates ancestral teachings, and will suffer the wrath of heaven, it won't be this serious ah ...... old man for Yuanfang is still really open to anything ah."
When we arrived in the courtyard, Chen Yuanfang was no longer there, it seems to have been taken to the house by Chen Hongdao to teach a lesson, only Chen Hansheng sat in the courtyard, and his clothes were changed back to the set of dark blue Zhongshan suit.
"What is your name?"
"Wu Yu."
"Good boy, come here, let grandpa look at your face." Chen Hansheng description of kuiwei to the extreme, but speak very amiable, my grandfather died early, see Chen Hansheng like this, the heart of the heart suddenly born close to the feelings, can not help but walk over.
"Tell me, what have you encountered?" Chen Hansheng seemed to simply look me up and down once, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and then he opened them again, and in his tone, he still seemed unconcerned.
In front of him, I'm not afraid of anything anymore, right away from the ten people ditch encountered things before and after all said again, said, he also cried.
Chen Hansheng listened while wiping my tears, when I finished, Chen Hansheng said, "Don't be afraid, grandpa can save you."
"Really?" I said with teary eyes.
"Really!" Chen Hansheng smiled.
Dad hurriedly said, "Old sir, is this serious for him?"
"It should be considered serious." Chen Hansheng said, "This child already has the sign of a lost soul, and has the appearance of a shape with a killing, so it's still more serious."
"Huh?" Dad said nervously, "What is a form with killing?"
Chen Hansheng said, "According to my Chen family's mahjongg method, if the fire gas penetrates the eyes, it is the eyes with killing; if the flesh color is dim, it is the face with killing; if the limbs are like withered, it is the body with killing! These are the three types of killing, if not cured, you will die a horrible death! You two, I'm sure you can understand the general meaning of these words, right?"
"Then, then, what can we do?" Mom was so anxious and nervous that she stuttered a bit.
Chen Hansheng said, "The reason why Wu will be like this is actually very simple, he just touched the mold of that **** young child in the ten people ditch."
"The people in this world, divided into dead people, living people, living dead people, dead living people, and of course there are different. Only dead people, there are all kinds of death, burned, drowned, hanged, poisoned, dropped dead, sick and so on countless, but can be roughly divided into four kinds, a suicide, a kind of other killings, a kind of natural death, a kind of accidental death. These four kinds of death, suicide is often the biggest resentment, because he was born with the heart of the knot can not be dissolved resentment, so will choose such an extreme approach, but also because of the great resentment in life, so the death of the haunted more powerful. And the ancient legend, the burnt dead after death once turned into a ghost, the evil way is basically one, is to look for age, gender, body similar to murder to reincarnation. Why is this so? It is because the limbs and bodies of the burnt victims are not sound, so they will look for people of similar age, stature and gender to complement and merge with them, so that they can take shape. As the saying goes, 'The old does not merge with the young, and the male does not merge with the female' is just like that."
Dad Zhang Huang said, "What your old man means is that the person who was burned to death wanted to harm our family for domestic use, and then be his scapegoat to be born?"
"You can understand it that way." Chen Hansheng said, "However, it wasn't that burnt to death ghost who found Wu Yu, but Wu Yu who sent him to our door. For this kind of substitute that is sent to the door, the sneaky thing will default to being voluntary and will not give it up at all. That's why this matter is more dangerous and tricky."
"Alas, it's all because this unlucky kid doesn't listen, he's not allowed to go to the Ten People's Gully, he has to go!" Dad glared at me with hatred.
"It's useless to say such things at this time, it's useless to blame the child." Chen Hansheng's eyes gleamed as he said, "Save the child first."
"Thank you old sir, thank you old sir!" My father rubbed his hands together, basically unable to say anything other than "thank you".
My mom was also grateful, "Whatever you want us to do, please feel free to ask, and feel free to ask for as much money as you want."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand and said, "There is no need to give money. As for other things, do you still recognize the family of that **** young child?"
"One of his dads and one of his moms all burned to death as well." My dad thought about it and said, "Grandpa and grandma are also gone, it seems that only one grandma is still alive."
Chen Hansheng said, "Can we find this person?"
My dad nodded and said, "I should be able to."
"That's good." Chen Hansheng said, "We still need to use this person in order to save Wu."
My dad was curious, "What can she do?"
Chen Hansheng said, "The five major branches of traditional Chinese numerology, mountain, medicine, life, face, divination, mountain practitioners cultivate and cast spells, doctors save lives and help the injured, life practitioners make pills and charms, face practitioners observe the heavens and know their destinies, and diviners determine the comings and goings of the machine, and these five major branches can save people and also harm them. In order to save Wu Yong, you need to use a mountain magic spell, called the art of currying death. As the name suggests, it is a spell to ask for a living person's life from the spirits of the dead. If I can use this spell to retrieve Wu Yong's life from the spirits of **** the young child, then Wu Yong will be saved. However, to perform this spell, there is a necessary condition, that is, there must be a dead person as a medium to communicate with the spirits of the dead. This person must be someone who was very close to the deceased in life. Do you understand?"
We then suddenly realized, the original looking for that **** and dead child's maternal grandmother, is to let her be a pleader for the dead, to go to bargain with her grandson, let me go.
My father immediately said, "Then I will go to her now."
"Don't be busy." Chen Hansheng said, "There is one more thing I want to say to you."
Dad hurriedly said, "If there's anything, you can just order me, old sir!"
Chen Hansheng pondered for a moment and said, "I see that this child's face is a typical 'Five Elements Lacking' face!"
