Chapter 1: It's only a drowned ghost

Ling Ye suddenly felt a split headache. After the school doctor's examination, no problems were found. However, the head teacher, Teacher Li, insisted on sending him to the county hospital.

I took an X-ray film at the county hospital and had an electroencephalography, but I still found no lesions. The diagnosis result made by the doctor was a neurological headache caused by too much learning pressure.

Following the doctor's advice, Teacher Li asked Ling Ye to go home to rest... He said that he would wait until he felt completely fine and he would go back to school to attend class.

In the high school year, which requires every second to fight for, Ling Ye knew that on the one hand, the teacher was afraid of taking responsibility, and on the other hand, his academic performance was not good, and the teacher did not expect him to win honors.

I felt a little disappointed, but I didn't care too much... If my parents hadn't been nagging all day long and said that I wouldn't get into college, there would be no way out, Ling Ye really didn't want to go to this school...

He either did questions or took exams every day. He got up at six in the morning and could only go to bed after twelve in the evening. It was even more tiring than in the ancient imperial examinations. Even a person who had no hope of getting into a good university was under great pressure.

I was still cured of illness, and I could just keep my books from reading right away... When I got home, I told my grandma, threw my heavy schoolbag onto the desk, lifted the quilt, and Ling Ye fell to bed.

Grandma Ling looked at it, sighed quietly, shook her head, went back to her own room, closed the door, and secretly hung up the phone to Ling Ye's father...

As soon as the phone was connected, Ling Ye's father Ling Fude said that he had asked for leave from the factory and would leave home tomorrow.

Grandma Ling was stunned for a moment... Her son and daughter-in-law went to work in the south for two consecutive years and did not come back during the Chinese New Year. Why did she suddenly come back without any warning this time?

"Mom, have you forgotten? In a few days, Xiaoye will turn eighteen..." Ling Fude said on the other end of the phone, "Xiaoye's head teacher just called and said that Xiaoye suddenly had a headache this morning..."

Just this sentence, the microphone slid directly from Grandma Ling's hand, letting the anxious "Hey, hey" sound sound sounded from the other end of the phone, and she seemed to be unable to hear it again...

After being stunned for almost a quarter of an hour, Grandma Ling suddenly opened the door and ran out tremblingly...

"Grandma, what's wrong? Oh, slow down! Run so fast... don't fall..." In fact, Ling Ye didn't fall asleep, just didn't want his grandma to know that she had always known about her reporting to her parents.

But this time, without saying a few words, grandma ran to the house and ran to the house. What happened? Ling Ye quickly turned over and got up and chased after him...

The relationship with grandma is actually deeper than that for parents... Since elementary school, their parents have gone out to work, and Ling Ye has always depended on each other with grandma at home.

When he followed the foot house, he saw grandma moving a wooden ladder. Ling Ye quickly reached out to stop him and said, "Grandma, why are you moving a ladder? You are in your seventies, and you still have to go to the room?"

Grandma Ling reached out and pointed at the beam of the foot house, saying, "Xiaoye, look, have you seen that canvas bag? Push the ladder over and take it down..."

"All the broken copper and iron are kept as treasures..." Ling Ye frowned, but did not refuse, and said, "Okay, you get out of here first... slow down... stand on the side, don't squint..."

The canvas bag was not heavy, but it was covered with spider webs... Ling Ye took a broom to sweep the floor and wanted to sweep the dust on it, but Grandma Ling snatched it away.

After snatching it, Grandma Ling didn't say a word, and walked to the main hall with a canvas bag, then took out a new towel that she had never used before, and slowly wiped it clean...

When Ling Ye saw a toothbrush that he had been using for half a year but refused to replace it with a new grandmother, he took out a brand new towel to wipe the canvas bag. Ling Ye's eyes were full of surprise.

However, something even more surprising was still behind... Grandma Ling closed the door of the main hall, put the canvas bag in the middle of the main hall, and then lit three incense sticks and knelt down with a rumor.

Ling Ye couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Grandma, what are you doing? What treasures are in this bag?"

"Come here, kowtow three times..." Grandma Ling said with a serious look on her face.

Growing in the countryside, I kowtow a lot every Qingming Festival and during the New Year and Festivals. But this is the first time I am asked to kowtow if I am not worshiping gods or worshiping ancestors.

However, he did not refuse his grandmother's request... His father Ling Fude often said that filial piety and obedience are very important.

He kowtowed to the canvas bag respectfully three times, and then Ling Ye helped his grandmother stand up...

"Xiaoye, grandma tells you a story..."

Story? When I was a child, I heard my grandma tell stories a lot. However, since I was in junior high school, Ling Ye has never heard my grandma tell stories.

"Well..." Ling Ye knew that this story must be different from before... Grandma was really abnormal today... Before telling the story, she shed tears.

"Eighteen years ago..." Grandma Ling began to tell, perhaps the "story" she didn't want to tell the least in her life...

It was the second day after Ling Ye was born. The whole family was happily preparing for the wedding banquet of the "Three Dynasties", but an old monk wearing a cassock came outside the village.

The old monk had kind eyes and a gourd hung on his waist. After looking out at the village for a while, he walked straight to the Ling family to beg for alms and ask for wine.

Rural people originally believed in superstition, and rarely refused to do anything about the monks and Taoism. What's more, the Ling family's new Lin'er naturally would not refuse.

Unexpectedly, the old monk received a gourd wine and after twenty yuan, he actually said that he had received donations from the Ling family and should do a ritual for Ling Ye...

According to the old monk, humans have three souls: one is the heavenly soul, two is the earthly soul, and three is the life soul. Among the three souls, the heavenly and earth two souls are always outside, and only the life soul is alone.

But Ling Ye was born with a boy's destiny. Not only did the two souls of heaven and earth be outside, but he also had no soul of life, and he could not live to be seven years old.

The joyful Ling family suddenly changed their faces. Ling Ye's father Ling Fude swung the shoulder pole on the spot and wanted to beat the old monk. However, he was stopped by Ling Ye's grandfather...

Ling Ye's grandfather felt that the Ling family and the old monk had never been neglected. There was no reason, but for no reason, he ran over to touch the Ling family's bad temper.

This is abnormal, so I would rather believe that it is... I respectfully invited the old monk into the door and asked if there is any way to "change fate".

The old monk looked at Ling Ye's grandfather with a smile and said, "The old monk came here this time to end the cause and effect... and was entrusted by an old friend to change his fate for this child against the will of heaven..."

Ling Ye's grandfather didn't care about "old friends" or "old friends". He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Please be merciful to the great monk..."

The old monk pondered for a moment and said, "This son is a boy, born with a lifeless soul. If you want to be long-lasting in the world, you can break through the yin and yang eyes, divide the roots of good and evil. You can use your talent to create and control the universe."

Most older people in rural areas are superstitious, but because they have never read books or have little reading, many times, they cannot even distinguish Taoism from Buddhism. The old monks' words were even more difficult to understand.

Ling Ye's grandfather did not shy away and immediately told the old monk that he had never studied and did not understand what it meant.

The old monk was a little embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said, "It is to consecrate his eyes so that his eyes can not only see people, but also gods, ghosts, demons, monsters..."

Hearing this, the Ling family breathed a sigh of relief... Isn't it just to open the Yin and Yang eyes? Then just open it.

Seeing that the Ling family looked relaxed, the old monk knew that he had not explained clearly, and said, "There are countless monsters and monsters in this world who look fierce and terrifying... If you open your eyes of Yin and Yang, you will either learn Buddhism or Taoism, otherwise you will easily be scared to death by what you see, and you will easily be killed by what you see..."
