C4 There's a problem with the knife

The sudden appearance of the Pig Slaughtering Knife alarmed me. I didn't know why he kept appearing in my hands, especially the voice that grandpa called me. I couldn't have misheard it. Could it be that grandpa gave me this knife? If that was the case, what was the point behind it?

After a moment's thought, I still couldn't figure out what this meant, but I was certain that there was something wrong with the knife, so I decided to carry it with me, wrap it in old newspaper, and tie it with a rubber bag to make a simple sheath.

Then I went to my dad and asked him how he got the knife, why my grandpa didn't mark it, and why he never used it.

When I saw my father, he was chatting with Second Uncle, one of them was talking while the other was typing on his phone. When I took out the blade, Second Uncle was suddenly frightened and started shouting uncontrollably, wanting to escape from the room.

After all, it was a Pig Slaughtering Knife. Second Uncle, who was about to turn into a pig, was definitely afraid of this Pig Slaughtering Knife, so I kept the knife. As expected, Second Uncle slowly calmed down.

My father immediately went to ask Second Uncle why he was doing this. Second Uncle also did not understand and only said that he was scared, as if the sky was falling down and he wanted to escape.

So I took the opportunity to ask my father, do you know where this knife came from, why did my grandfather repeatedly give it to me.

Under my repeated questioning, my father finally revealed the truth. He told me that he didn't understand this blade because his grandfather gave it to him as a gift and my father's grandfather is my Great Grandpa.

"At that time, my grandfather was a famous Feng Shui teacher, and later on, my father and mother freely fell in love, but he didn't agree at the beginning because he said that my father was a pig slaughterer, that he killed too many living creatures, that it was bad for his children and grandchildren, and that it was a good fortune for them, but later on, he did not know how he agreed to it. This knife was my grandfather's dowry for my mother, which my father had always kept, and it was never used to kill pigs," my father said.

"No, that's not right. Since it's never been used to kill pigs, then why did you use this knife to kill Old Lady Wang's female pig that day?" I immediately asked.

But my dad couldn't say it, because he wasn't in the pig slaughtering business, so he didn't know what his grandpa was doing. He wasn't home at all the day of the accident.

After all, he didn't say anything, so I told my father about the Great Grandpa. Since he's Mr. Feng Shui, then there must be some sort of descendant that remains, so there might be a use in finding them.

But my father told me that there was no one left in the Great Grandpa. Because it was Wen Jiu, and the Great Grandpa was forced to die at that time, the family had long left this industry. They had a few disciples in their early years, but there was no news of them.

On the other hand, my dad told me a lot of stories about the Great Grandpa, because the Great Grandpa is a legend. It is said that back then, he was known as the ironmouth god of divination, and he was very mysterious when it came to fortune telling.

There were many stories that he had never heard of in the Second Uncle, and because he had never seen the Great Grandpa before, they sounded extremely strange. More than once, it was said that if the Great Grandpa was still here, he would definitely be saved immediately.

At this moment, the teacher my father contacted sent us some good news. He had already contacted his martial uncle and promised to come over. Right now, he is on his way through the night, he should be able to arrive by tomorrow morning. At that time, he told us to arrange someone to receive him.

This news made everyone pleasantly surprised, because the Second Uncle is saved, as long as someone is willing to come, then it would be better than us making wild guesses.

When it was midnight, we felt very tired, so we decided to take turns sleeping. But we had to look at the Second Uncle by ourselves in case something happened again.

When it was my turn to go to bed, just as expected, my grandfather appeared again and called me by my name.

"Grandfather, can you tell me everything at once? If something happens in Second Uncle, I don't have time to sleep and wait for you to come!" When grandfather called me, I couldn't help but say what was going on over and over again. If you have anything to say, just tell me.

But Pappy just pointed at my hand and said, Knife, knife for you, don't give it to anyone.

I looked at the knife in my hand. I wasn't too surprised, as the knife would come to my side and walk into my dreams.

After Grandpa said this, he disappeared. Then, I woke up from my dream and realized that it was already past 10 in the morning. I hurriedly went downstairs to take a look and there were two more people who came out of the living room.

Both of them were dressed in the same clothes. One was in his forties and the other was in his fifties. However, the older one was very respectful to the younger one.

After that, my father introduced me and also introduced the two masters. The one who was in his fifties was the Master Wang that my father contacted, while the one who was in his forties was Master Wang's martial uncle, Master Chen.

"I understand most of your matters now. It's just some injustice that can be resolved, there's no rush. I heard that your grandfather left a knife in his coffin during his funeral. Can you let me see?" Master Chen said to me.

I was just dreaming that my grandfather didn't want me to give the blade to anyone else, but this Master Chen didn't want me to do anything at all, so he wanted to see my blade first. If there weren't any problems with this, who would believe it?

But I still showed the blade to Master Chen, because saving Second Uncle's life is more important.

Then, he gave Master Wang a look. Master Wang had said that in order to dissolve this matter, it would be difficult to do so and the cost would not be low, so if it was possible, he would use this blade as a reward.

Although my father and Second Uncle were confused, they readily agreed. After all, they could clearly distinguish between saving someone and a blade, and they also knew the evil nature of this blade, so they did not dare to keep it. As for me, although I did not agree, no one listened to my words, because in their eyes, I was still a child after all.

With my father and Second Uncle's promise, that Mr. Chen was very happy. He also said, this blade is a disaster on our side, only in his hands would it be considered a treasure.

The first thing Mr. Chen needs to do is to pay respects to old lady Wang, he told us, old lady Wang being pressed down by the pig nest and being bitten to death by the pig of her own family, it is too unfair, so the soul is not willing to go to the Underworld to be reincarnated, every day it will repeat the same thing from when it was alive, over time it will become filled with grudges, if we don't deal with it, the grudge will become heavier, harming us.

Thus, the Master Chen had us bring him to Old Lady Wang's courtyard. He lit a torch in the courtyard, and then used a candle to light one ten meters apart from the other all the way to the entrance of the village. Then, he waved the Peach Wood Sword in the courtyard for the better part of an hour.

After taking care of Old Lady Wang's business, the next thing to do was the pig. This was also the most troublesome problem.

According to Master Chen's words, after raising the old female pig for more than ten years, she had somehow gained intelligence and was on the verge of becoming intelligent. However, Old Lady Wang had been feeding it her piglet every year, so she hated humans with a lot of resentment, and it was only an accident that she killed Old Lady Wang with her revenge, and it was just an accident that my grandfather was killed by Second Uncle. However, it was a bit too excessive to kill it and even eat its meat.

To comfort the pig demon, this matter was even more solemn, because Master Chen did such a grand thing that everyone in the village knew about it.

Master Chen told us to set up a wooden platform on the village's field, and to put on some things like incense and fruits. He and Master Wang were dancing and singing on it, and it was very mysterious.

After that, Master Chen made the Second Uncle kneel down and apologize to the pig demon, but this time the pig demon still refused to forgive him. In the end, the Master Chen became angry and used the Peach Wood Sword to stab Second Uncle a few times, then boiled a bowl of water for Second Uncle to drink.

After drinking it, Second Uncle howled while clutching his throat, and started spitting out blood. It was as thick as pig blood, but strangely, after spitting it out, Second Uncle could actually speak, and was no longer making sounds like that of a pig's. This made Second Uncle extremely happy, and he almost kneeled down on top of Master Chen.

And this time, Master Chen has completely established his name in our village. The villagers continuously sent out invitations to Master Chen and Master Wang, telling them to fortune tell, Feng Shui etc., and so on. He busied himself until midnight.

So tonight they're sleeping in our house again, and I told my dad about the knife and asked him if he could get it back, or if he could buy it, but my dad wouldn't let me.

We were so angry that we went to sleep early. Tonight, we weren't dreaming about Grandpa, but our whole family was awoken by a scream, and when we rushed out towards the source of the sound, we actually saw Master Wang had a knife stabbed in his chest, falling at the foot of the stairs. Master Chen only saw that his face was pale, and his entire body was trembling, because that knife was the Pig Slaughtering Knife over there.

I was a bit bolder, so I went over to check Master Wang's pulse, but it had stopped, and there was no heartbeat. I looked at Master Chen and asked him what to do, and actually wanted him to give an explanation.
