C5 Evil Curse

In our village, there was a person with the nickname of Master Ma. He specialized in dealing with all kinds of dirty things.

When we were chatting, I had heard him say that once a living person was tangled up by dirty things, it would cause them to suffer from a serious illness or even lose their lives.

I just celebrated my eighteenth birthday yesterday!

I am still so young, and I still have twelve years to live. I don't want to die so early!

"Junior brother, calm down. It's not as serious as you think."

"Also, don't we still have Master? As long as Master is here, no matter how big a problem it is, it won't be a problem!"

Hsing gently patted the back of my hand and comforted me.

I asked a few more questions, but Hsing only gently advised me not to tell me what the consequences would be.

I was lost in thought for a long time before I slowly let go of my hands and leaned against the coffin powerlessly.

Right now, I can only believe Hsing's words and believe in Master Uncle Liu.

I thought about it. No matter how troublesome it was to be haunted by ghosts, there should be a way to solve it.

If I were to be haunted by ghosts, I would die immediately. How could I still have the profession of Vigil Keeper?

I would have died a long time ago.

Thinking about it, my mood eased up a little.

It was almost seven o'clock when Old Zhao and his wife came over to take over. After saying some words of gratitude, they took out a white envelope and handed it to Hsing.

I didn't have the mood to think about what was in the envelope.

After Hsing finished her greetings, I followed her to the tractor and sat on the roadside. After more than half an hour, we finally returned to the courtyard of Uncle Liu's West Mountain.

After entering the courtyard, I separated from Hsing.

She went into the main house to look for her master, while I was arranged to stay in the west wing. She said that she would wait for Master's reply.

I pushed open the door gloomily and found that there was another person in the house.

I walked into the house with my head down. I didn't have the mood to talk to him. I turned around and was about to sit on the bed.

Suddenly, my arm was grabbed by someone.

"Eh? Zhang Deshui? Why are you here?" the other person asked.

I heard the voice sound familiar. I looked up and saw that it was not my junior high school classmate, Geng Yan.

That's right, that's right...it was him!

His face was square and rectangular, like a piece of tofu.

However, his face was dark and black, like a black charcoal on the bottom of a pot. He had a thick layer of it on his face.

When he grinned, he revealed a mouthful of white teeth, forming a sharp contrast with his dark face.

I met my old classmate unexpectedly, but I didn't feel the joy of meeting him for the first time. My good mood was all washed away by the ghost.

I replied, "I just became Uncle Liu's disciple yesterday and am learning to guard spirits with him. What about you? What are you doing here? Did something happen in your family?"

Bai Shou meant that there was a dead person in the family.

I said it so presumptuously. It was a bit too much.

Geng Yan did not mind and chuckled. He said, "So you're my little junior brother? Hehe — what a coincidence!"

I was stunned for a moment. Then I realized that Geng Yan was my second senior brother.

What a coincidence! I didn't even dream that I would meet someone familiar in the Vigil Keeper Sect!

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I grabbed Geng Yan's arm and asked, "I went to guard the spirit with Hsing yesterday. In the end, the ghost had a wound on its head and pus on its feet. It lied to me and talked to me. Tell me — what will happen if I break this rule?"

In terms of seniority, Geng Yan was in front of Hsing. That meant that Geng Yan was more powerful.

Since Hsing was unwilling to give me the answer, I thought of asking second senior brother to tell me. My heart was always hanging on a thread. I was about to die from sadness.

"What will happen? What serious consequence?" Geng Yan asked in puzzlement.

Geng Yan said, 'Where can you not wet your shoes when you are always by the river?' It was common for the Vigil Keeper to be haunted by ghosts.

The so-called one drink, one bite, one bite, one bite, one bite. There was a reason for everything. I didn't need to worry about it.

After saying that, Geng Yan patted my shoulder and told me to put my heart back into my stomach.

I was very familiar with Geng Yan. Naturally, I didn't act like a stranger. I slapped his arm and said unhappily, "Don't play tricks with me! It's simple. Will the ghost be so tender to me?"

Geng Yan shook his head.

My eyes lit up. Suddenly, I felt that Geng Yan was so handsome.

After a pause, I grabbed his hand and asked, "Are you sure that this matter can be easily resolved?"

This time, Geng Yan nodded heavily.

I was overjoyed.

Geng Yan shook his head and nodded, as if he was giving me a bundle of lightning rods. The heavy stone that was pressing on my heart was instantly blown to pieces.

I exhaled a mouthful of foul air and lay on the bed. I felt as if every cell in my body was humming softly. The relaxed and relaxed feeling was indescribable.

I chatted with Geng Yan for a while and found out that he had arrived three years earlier than me. He was currently in the "calm" stage.

Learning to guard spirits required five stages, which were "Initial stage", "Painstaking Stage", "Left Branch", "Celestial Cauldron Stage", and "Celestial Cauldron Stage".

For example, I was in the "Initial stage". I was a newbie who needed to learn and remember everything.

When I memorized the rules of guarding spirits, I would be able to fight alone and enter the "Painstaking Stage" stage.

The general meaning was that I needed to experience more guarding spirits to temper my heart, increase my knowledge and experience.

For example, Hsing was currently in the "Painstaking Stage" stage.

"Left Branch" was the meaning of being an expert. With Geng Yan's level, he could completely deal with some difficult problems.

For example, he could easily deal with the grievous corpses that had died from illnesses, disasters, accidents, and other misfortunes.

After reaching the "Left Branch" stage, he would be able to set up his own sect and accept disciples. No matter where he was, he would be a famous figure.

No matter how much grievance the deceased had, as long as they fell into the "Left Branch" Guardian Spirit, they would definitely be able to guard the spirit for seven days and then be sent to the coffin.

"The Celestial Cauldron Stage is also called the Great Celestial Cauldron Stage. It is the highest stage of the Vigil Keeper."

As for how powerful he would become after reaching this stage, even Geng Yan did not know.

When I finished listening to Geng Yan's explanation, my mood became even more brilliant.

I thought to myself, "This person in front of me is clearly an expert!"

He had already reached the "Left Branch" stage?

If he took another step forward, wouldn't he be on par with my master?

He was just like a little calf sneezing — - he was full of bullishness!

"Give me water, why do you want to learn the Guardian Spirit from my master? There are so many professions, what can't you do?"

Perhaps it was because he saw that I was in a good mood, but Geng Yan did not rush me to sleep and said to me.

I raised my eyelids and said, "Then what else can I do? Of course, I am poor!"

My family's situation was already bad to begin with, and now they had to face a drought and a flood... This guy was so poor that it made my entire body hurt!

Geng Yan's clear eyes did not even blink as he stared at me with a kind gaze and did not say a word.

I understood his death.

In the past, when he was in school, if he did not believe in anyone, he would just stare at the other party. Even our class teacher would not be able to catch his attention.

I waved my hand and said, "Take off your big eyeballs. I really admire you! Let me be honest with you. In name, my father arranged for me to learn from Master, but in fact, I know that it is most likely because of that Evil Curse in my family."

"Men are only three and women are only five. A family takes their lives to make up for it. Geng Yan, have you heard this before?" I asked.
