Chapter 1: Seventy-two Changes


Old man Li died.The news is like a pebble thrown into a pond, and there are some waves.Old man Li is also a well-known figure within a radius of several miles, not only because he is an old intellectual, but also because of his hard and tough temper.A few years ago, a developer looked at the site in the village and wanted to build a high-end community.Other villagers took the demolition money and left one after another, but the old man Li refused to move his nest, watching the magnificent real estate rise from the ground, but the old man Li's two-story small western-style building was fixed in the center like a nail.Isn't this a trick?

But the developer tried all kinds of means, but the old man just didn't move out, and the developer was so anxious that he had sores on his head and bubbling on the soles of his feet.Now, as soon as the old man kicked his legs and died, the developer immediately reacted, drove an excavator with one hand, and pulled a group of "black suits" with the other, wanting to take the opportunity to cut the first and then play.The excavator drove up the small dam in front of the house, and the heavy tires crushed the dam, and the bucket was about to hit the brick wall.Suddenly, there was a noise of gongs, drums, suona, and a team of men and horses dressed in linen and filial piety were killed in oblique stabs.The black suits were about to step forward to stop them, and a few people wearing linen and filial piety threw a few strings of firecrackers from afar, and the crackling suddenly made the black suits jump for a while.Taking advantage of this chaotic effort, a few strong and strong people carrying a big guy "duang" blocked in front of the bucket, and when they looked closely, it was a thick wooden coffin without a cover, and the old man Li was lying straight inside, and his expression was much more peaceful than before his death.Now the firecrackers cut corners, and there was no movement after a few explosions, Rao is so, a black suit was also blown up, even the developer who hid far away also suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, a cannon flew far away, and landed on his oily back, and made him change his hairstyle with a "bang".The developer's face suddenly darkened, and the boss in the black suit didn't care about how many holes were blown up on his clothes, so he quickly ripped open the neckline, revealing his well-developed chest muscles and tattoos, and opened his mouth to scold: "Your father ......"

The words were not finished."

Daddy!"

A few women over there, with their voices high and loud, had already taken the lead.Then the other voices in a mess were like harmonies, "God doesn't have long eyes, your old bones are not cold, there will be bastards to bully your children and grandchildren, and demolish your house!"

”After this round of chorus, women, children, old and young gathered inside, crying and shouting, and throwing paper money into the sky.The young man blocked the periphery, revealing his own steel pipes, machetes, shovel handles, and table legs......

"Phew!

”The boss in the black suit spat on the ground disdainfully, since he hit him into this line, what kind of formation has he never seen, a few broken sticks and broken blades want to scare him?

He has never been the only one who pours dung in front of people's doors, where does anyone dare to throw cannons at him?

It's unreasonable, hey!

The black boss shook his pectoralis muscles and was about to give these "filial sons" a good look, but one of his subordinates hurriedly stopped him."

What are you doing?""

Boss."

The subordinate looked anxious and pointed to the pile.The black boss took a closer look, and there were a few juniors half-hidden in the crowd, and the guy in his hand was actually a troll."

Boss."

The black boss turned to the developer and said, "Don't be like these people, bad luck!"

”…………………… Although one side is to protect the house, and the other side is to demolish the house, but they are just for money.The two sides quickly pulled out a specific amount with each other, and the developer was afraid that something would happen in the future, so he simply asked people to withdraw cash in the bank, and the Li family was not ambiguous, so they made a noise on the spot and divided the money.You and I little by little, when it comes to Li Changan's hands, there are only a few crumpled Grandpa Mao left.The uncle who shared the money was a little embarrassed, and the aunt who was holding the child next to him hurriedly said: "Chang'an, you are not too little, we all divide it according to the head." ”Oh, no wonder you even brought your mother's child.Li Changan smiled and didn't say anything.He has been sluggish since he was a child, although his grandfather Li raised him single-handedly, but many expenses for his daily study and miscellaneous living expenses also depend on the help of various uncles, so he didn't plan to compete with these relatives for anything at the beginning."

No need."

Li Changan pushed the ticket back."

I'll just pick something out of the house later.""

That's going to happen!"

The eldest aunt snatched the money and stuffed it into her pocket with a smile, her face smug and smug face.The valuable things in the house have long been removed...............................

"One, two, three, up!"

”Several uncles in the prime of life shouted trumpets and lifted the coffin.A group of people dressed in linen and filial piety came over, and returned with pots, pots, pans, tables and benches scavenged from the house.Li Changan, who was walking in a group of satisfied and smiling people, looked back.In the roar of the excavator, the small building that carried many of his memories collapsed into a pile of ruins, and along with it, it seemed that there was still his last bit of attachment to this land."

Forget it, let's go back!"

………………………… It was night, and the banquet in front of the mourning hall was dispersed.The older ones call their friends to play mahjong, and the younger ones get together to play with their mobile phones and watch TV.Li Changan was huddled alone in a bedroom, holding an old thread-bound book in his hand.It was one of the gadgets he brought out of his grandfather's house, most of them were worthless, and he only kept them as a souvenir.But this book is different, Li Changan chose it from the house because he had no impression of this book at all.He grew up in that house, and every nook and cranny was too familiar to be more familiar.When Li Changan found this book, he lay quietly in the bookcase, which was full of dust like everything else in the bookcase, but there was no trace of it in Li Changan's memory.This made Li Changan a little puzzled, and he looked at the book carefully.The case is a yellow crust covered with layers, and the middle page has been yellowed.And the thread of the spine is also irregular, but it looks like a hole drilled by oneself and coarse twine thread is worn.Li Changan turned the first page.There were small letters, two in groups, that filled the page, but they seemed to be so old that the ink had faded.Li Changan turned the lights brighter and carefully identified them word by word."

Passing through the seclusion, driving away the gods, carrying the mountain, forbidding water, borrowing the wind, spreading the fog, praying for sunshine, praying for rain......"

"Isn't this the seventy-two techniques of Taoism?"

The seventy-two techniques of earth evil, or to change the more famous name, the seventy-two changes, Sun Dasheng's housekeeping skills, are part of the Taoist method of change.This method of change is not simply a man becoming a woman, or a man becoming a sheep, but a spell that changes all things, such as traveling clouds and rain, moving mountains and boiling seas, and stealing the sky to change the sun, which is regarded as the foundation of all Taoism.Knowing what was written here, Li Changan didn't look at it closely, he turned the second page, but there was an ugly and hideous picture of a demon painted on it."

Could this be a ghost atlas?"

Li Changan flipped through the pages behind the book, but was surprised to find that they were all blank."

This is really inexplicable......"

Li Changan shook his head and was about to close the book.Suddenly, at the moment when his eyes left the page, there was a "buzzing" sound in his ears, and Li Changan's brain suddenly became groggy.He only felt dizzy, and everything in front of him began to distort, and all kinds of colors melted and mixed together, making people's hearts feel stuffy.I also remembered a lot of words in my ears, but I couldn't hear them clearly, and I only heard all kinds of weird southern and northern tones.It's like a gong, Peking Opera, Bangzi, Huangmei, Flower Drum...... started singing together, and the noisy cut into the ears, and Li Changan's stomach juice was tumbling.But just when he was about to be unable to hold it and come to a live broadcast, his eyes and ears suddenly became clear, he quickly held on to the table, took a few big breaths, and finally eased up......

Hey?

Table?

Wasn't he still lying in bed just now?

Where did the table come from?

He looked up suddenly, but he was dumbfounded......

Oh my God, where is this?

Li Changan found himself in a small and simple house, the walls of the house were rough but yellowish, and he could vaguely see the bamboo scorn in the wall, which was actually an earthen wall made of bamboo, straw and soil.Looking up, a few logs set up the roof, but most of the roof tiles were gone, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down, making Li Changan look confused."

Is it difficult?"

He muttered dumbfoundedly and lowered his head.When the moonlight shines on the portrait of the evil ghost on the page, the outlined lines seem to come to life, and the portrait becomes more and more vivid, and it is about to jump out of the book and choose people to eat.
