Hu Zongren told me that he was born in an intellectual family, and his parents were both middle school teachers. It is reasonable to say that a guy like him should not have been dealing with ghosts for many years like me, and make money by making money from this. Hu Zongren’s hometown is Yilong County, Sichuan Province, which is the hometown of Marshal Zhu De. Hu Zongren said that maybe it is a word from childhood to adulthood, but he can always be fooled by his grades in exams. Although he has been at the bottom for a long time, he never faces the danger of repeating a grade or dropping out of school.
Hu Zongren said that he failed in the exam until he graduated from high school, and then his family said that they wanted him to take the exam again for one year. During that holiday, he and several friends beat a child in his school seriously.
He told me that he had come to gather people’s heads to help, but he found that he especially liked this feeling of beating others, so he couldn’t stop hitting others on the neck with a wooden stick with a thick wrist. The stupidest thing was that he proudly threw a sentence after the fight: My name is Hu Zongren. If you are not angry, come to me. It looks like he is a Jianghu elder brother.
Unfortunately, the child who was beaten, his father was a local influential construction contractor in Yilong, and he knew many friends. That night, his father let it out. If he didn’t find Hu Zongren to make a statement, he wouldn’t stop. Hu Zongren said that his father had died that year, and he and his mother, Hu Ma, saw that he was in trouble at home. They hurriedly wanted to communicate with each other’s parents, but they refused to communicate, so Hu Ma was afraid and entrusted Hu Zongren’s father and cousin, Hu Zongren’s uncle, to let him go there for a while and then come back.
Speaking of this, Hu Zongren took another sip of his glass. I know his personality. He probably rarely recalls his absurd days, even with Fu Yunni. He went on to say that his uncle only returned to Sichuan in recent years and now settled in Chengdu. Before that, he was a Taoist layman, but he refused to tell me where he learned from. Hu Zongren said that it was because of those days that he followed his uncle to contact Taoist culture for the first time. Although it was not long, his uncle said that he was a piece of material. Yes, I introduced Hu Zongren to an old master without telling his mother. This old master is a palm-viewing mage in Qingcheng. At first, he said that he wanted to examine Hu Zongren’s nature, so he told him not to tell him anything behind the old master all day, and he didn’t care what he did all day.
I asked Hu Zongren with a smile, must have suppressed you during those days? Hu Zongren said yes, it was like a year. Later, one day, I was very upset. Several mountains came to the pilgrims’ temple to make a lot of noise and swear words. I woke them up but I couldn’t see them. As a result, a few words were wrong and I started fighting.
I gave Hu Zongren a thumbs-up and said, brother, you are so strong that you dare to fight in front of your ancestors. It’s a pity that you shouldn’t be a rogue. Hu Zongren said that he was depressed for a long time when he came that day. The master didn’t teach him anything or stop him from being an official. He didn’t even say that he was angry, but he felt that it was bad enough to fight and run away. When he came to this Taoist temple, he still didn’t like people and added himself. That is, he was easy to cause trouble wherever he went.
I asked Hu Zongren how to deal with this incident afterwards. He said that Master Zhangguan still came out to protect his pilgrims. Although he was domineering, he still didn’t dare to make trouble in the Taoist temple. Moreover, Hu Zongren was still a child at that time, and it was not appropriate to care about it. However, Master Zhangguan said that a child like Hu Zongren was afraid to accept it again, so he planned to send him to the mountain.
Hu Zongren said that this incident was a great blow to him. At that time, he thought that he was arguing with the pilgrims in order to maintain the tranquility of the Taoist temple. He was wearing their children’s clothes on the Taoist path. Who knew that Master Zhang Guan had to drive himself out because of this? He couldn’t figure it out. At this time, an old man in a white robe came out of the wing and told Master Zhang Guan that this young man was full of blood and stubborn nature. We Taoists must stay when we meet our own recognition, but why should we refuse to let those who can be changed through education?
The Taoist priest in white robe said to Master Zhang Guan at that time, Brother, if you don’t think too much of the trail, let the trail take this young man away, and let him come with me to visit with me on a cloud tour. I wonder if it’s okay.
Hu Zongren said that at that time, he was wronged in his heart and felt that he was probably not so attractive to be punished by Master Zhang Guan. But at this moment, the Taoist priest in white robe came out to speak for himself, which made him feel a sense of relief and his stubborn temper came to the original knees. Suddenly, he held his head high and said to Master Zhang Guan very disdainfully, since you don’t leave me in this temple, I won’t leave you here. Who cares to stay in this Taoist temple where you don’t put salt in your dishes all day!
I laughed for so many years, and this guy’s personality hasn’t changed at all, but he has intensified a lot now.
Hu Zongren laughed, too. He went on to say that the master Zhang Zongren had been entrusted by his uncle to stay with him temporarily, so he probably didn’t want to keep him. When the road flyover Hu Zongren got into trouble, he had a justified reason and said that he would take over Hu Zongren. He probably thought that it would be good to control Hu Zongren, and even Hu Zongren would hate himself for a while, so when the road flyover Hu Zongren said so, he readily agreed.
Hu Zongren said that he was a teenager at that time, although he had been in contact with Taoism for a while, it was short-lived after all, and he didn’t meet anyone who was willing to really teach himself seriously. Before that, he knew very little about the Taoist culture in China, but after this white Taoist took Hu Zongren away, he went to several famous mountains such as Emei Tiantai, where they ate and lived together. The white Taoist never taught Hu Zongren anything about Taoism or Taoism, and he never learned anything from disciples. He kept asking Hu Zongren about his past life, such as what he didn’t learn and what he wanted to run away.
Hu Zongren said that he was most impressed at that time when the white-robed Taoist took him on foot along the old road of Emei. The white-robed Taoist asked him a word: If nobody spoke to you that day, you were really driven away from the mountain. What would you do? Without thinking, Hu Zongren replied that it was a big deal to find a temporary worker to do it. I am young and strong, and I can’t starve to death.
Road flyover Bai said that no one will starve to death in this world nowadays, but even if you get a job, your character will be hard to do for a long time, because your distance has matured, and there is still a long time. Hu Zongren said that at that time, he was making excuses to drive him away diplomatically, and he was preparing to refute a few words angrily. Road flyover Bai pointed to the landscape pond and said, Look, there are water snakes, loaches and eels in this pond. They are strong and weak, but this water snake, eel and loach don’t even have hands and feet. People also know how to survive.
Hu Zongren took another sip of wine and told me that it was the first sentence that the white-robed Taoist priest said to him that shocked him, because it was not easy to make people like Hu Zongren understand the truth. He told me that when he was in front of him, he had an unprecedented respect for the white-robed Taoist priest.
Hu Zongren told me that he didn’t know until later that this old Taoist priest belonged to Yaoshan Sect of the People’s Road School, and when he was in the majority, he traveled all over the country and didn’t participate in religious management institutions.
And this Taoist in white robe finally became Master Hu Zongren, and he is Xing Ya.
Chapter II Yaoshan Daoism
Hu Zongren went on to say that it was only later that he realized that Xing Ya’s remarks did not mean to drive him away, but rather implied that he wanted to accept him as his apprentice. Hu Zongren said that he finally joined his master at the age of 2 and studied with Xing Ya.
Hu Zongren said that the original Yaoshan Sect belonged to a small faction. It is said that it originated in the Song Dynasty. There are only a handful of Taoist temples, but it is scattered around the country. The Taoist Yaoshan Sect has studied the five Taoist techniques in a relatively deep way, especially in the medical field. The treatment of eye diseases and the combination of martial arts are very accomplished. Hu Zongren’s pulse is relatively partial, and spells and ghosts are strong. However, most Yaoshan Taoists practice more spiritual cultivation, but when they formally consider which technique to give to Hu Zongren, Xing Ya is stumped.
I really want to laugh when Hu Zongren said this, because I can probably think of what Xing Ya is puzzled about. Sure enough, Hu Zongren said that Taoist doctors need to endure failure and study repeatedly. Obviously, Hu Zongren is definitely not the foundation of life, yin, yang and five elements, and he is definitely not the kind of person who can sit still and miss people.
Hu Zongren said that when Xing Ya chose the best time to teach him, he just enumerated them one by one, and then shook his head nervously every time he enumerated them, which made him very unhappy. Xing Ya also said that physiognomy is relatively easy to change hands, but it is very difficult to master it. The main reason is to look at the fortune-teller and approve Feng Shui, but Hu Zongren’s heart is impetuous, and he will beat customers easily in this life in the future.
I couldn’t help laughing. The so-called brother who knows best is always the master. It’s really hard for me to imagine Hu Zongren shaking his legs and looking at people. So I told Hu Zongren that your master was right. Fortunately, I didn’t teach you this. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be helping people. It would be harmful.
Hu Zongren gave me a white look, and then he said that divination was much more important. I ching daoist magic Da Liu Ren Da Tai Yi Shen Shu was more difficult to learn than life. Xing Ya looked at Hu Zongren in the middle and shook his head painfully.
Hu Zongren couldn’t help it at this time. He asked Xing Ya, a little boy and a little girl, that you wouldn’t let me learn, and that means I couldn’t learn. Then why did you accept me as an apprentice? Do you want me to cross my legs and meditate on alchemy and become immortal all day long? Xingya interrupted him and said he wanted an alchemist. I don’t think you can do it.
Xing Ya said that this alchemy comes from the five Taoist techniques "Mountain", which is the most important thing to meditate on. Don’t try it if you are naturally quiet, so you don’t have to drive yourself crazy. The "Mountain" metaphysical code wants you to familiarize yourself with Confucianism and Mohism, which is obvious and far from you. Let’s Yaoshan Sect have long lost boxing, leaving only some morning classes and morning exercises for self-defense. Hu Zongren seems to have been a guy who likes fighting since childhood.
I laughed hysterically and told Hu Zongren that I couldn’t see that Master Xing Ya was still so humorous. Several methods of Shanjia have been ruled out, and now there are only spells left, right? Hu Zongren patted his thigh and said, Isn’t it true? My master knows a lot of things. In the end, he found that he could teach me and I could learn well, so he had an exorcism spell. How do you think I learned so much as a good young man?
I said that Master Xing Ya has a vision because he really has this skill, which is the most suitable for you. Although you are a Taoist priest, you are too reckless and not calm enough compared with many Taoist priests we know. You yourself know that Hu Zongren didn’t answer my question, but went on to say that after studying with the master for six years every day, the master personally made me a ghost-catching sack and gave me three treasures, which made me go out to travel and said that I would have to travel for less than two years before I could return to my hometown. What I should do is to be voluntary, and not to commit crimes and do things that hurt my legacy.
Hu Zongren went on to say that he was very excited when he just started his career, and at that time, Hu’s mother gradually understood and calmed down about Hu Zongren’s being a Taoist priest. Many times, she advised Hu Zongren that the child who was beaten by him in his early years didn’t say that he would continue to pursue it, so he went home for a few years when he was tired of playing outside, and she was going to retire. Hu Zongren said that he ran away because of trouble. If he didn’t mix tricks, how could he be brave enough to go home and how could he live up to these years?
So he went from Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. Although he was just a novice, he succeeded many times with his excellent and solid Yaoshan skills. Many new generation Taoist students became famous. If you talk to me in terms of seniority and age, Hu Zongren is a few years older than me. I should call him brother, but we have learned different things. He is a pure Taoist, but I wish to learn from him. Although I also know some Taoism, it is fur. After all, we are different ancestors. Although both of us are Fuxi brothers, our grandfathers are sworn enemies. He worships the Yellow Emperor and I worship Chiyou. Historically, my grandfathers are losers, but Zhu You’s skill has always been curious, quick and effective, and there are not many practical problems. Usually, small problems can be solved. Hu Zongren’s craft is fierce and vigorous, and the technique of attracting thunder is relatively strong. This is especially true because this routine is so direct and vigorous that it is especially suitable for Hu Zongren’s personality. Therefore, he is more handy.
Hu Zongren said that it was a lot of actual combat experience in those two years that made his craft more and more proficient, but his hot temper and hatred for evil did not improve with his age. He was still very arrogant and reckless until 27 years, when he ended his tour and stayed in his hometown in Yilong for a while, he found that there was little business there and he was a very idle person, so he left a sum of money for his mother Hu and went to Chengdu himself.
Because Master Xing Ya took Hu Zongren with him, he became more energetic when he got older, so he lived in seclusion in Chengdu and chatted with some friends in the industry every day, drinking tea, playing chess and teasing birds, which was considered as a way to spend his old age. Hu Zongren himself took some small orders to do in Chengdu, but in this period, he learned to play cards and gamble with others when he was free to chat.
Hu Zongren sighed here and said with a wry smile that it was because of gambling that he met a guy who was entangled in the brake road himself, but he also said that we wouldn’t know each other if it weren’t for this.
I remember that when Mr. Xia recommended Hu Zongren to me, he said a very important reason. At that time, we had a common enemy, Hu Zongren, who said that he was punished by the police for gambling and was detained. He said that it was the most humiliating time for his generation, but he couldn’t fight with the police and add his own indefensible master to Chengdu. He couldn’t give his old man a shame, so he silently admitted the punishment.
Hu Zongren said that when he was detained that night, a person came in with his first name. Hu Zongren was familiar with him, and he soon chatted with that person. Later, when he inquired, he found that both of them were in this business. The other person’s identity was the mysterious organization. Seeing that Hu Zongren was also a frank person, he invited him to go out and do something important together. When Hu Zongren asked him what he was doing, he said that we would go to the hospital to collect some souls and sell them to make money.
Hu Zongren said nonsense. Of course I know this can make money, but it’s so heartless to do so. So when he left the pawn, he kept trying not to send it, but pretended to be very interested. When they were both released, Hu Zongren asked this guy out for tea one day when he was in a bad mood, and then he took the opportunity to find fault and created some contradictions. Then he beat people up, and he slipped away before the police came.
However, Hu Zongren said that in that fight, he also hung up the lottery and shed blood, and then he was taken away by the other side, thus suppressing his own words. Hu Zongren pointed to me and said that this was the same as when you first started. I nodded and said, otherwise, what can we be friends? The experience must be similar, but I am not as stupid as you.
And a lot of the aftermath is known to all. Although the feud between Hu Zongren and me in 21 years was written off by Mr. Fu Qiang, after all, it was just a patchwork of my life with him. From the end of February of 21 years until November of 2011, I gradually became tired of this line of work, probably because the previous big event almost killed my life.
In that issue, Hu Zongren and I also received a lot of jobs. Sometimes he asked me to join him, sometimes he didn’t, and most of me would throw it to him to do it with me. Maybe it’s a matter of trust among friends. After all, not everyone can get to know a life-and-death brother because of a disaster.
So I said that I spent a long time with Hu Zongren for a year and a half.
Chapter III Problems of Property Company
At the beginning of March, 2001, because I rearranged the layout of my home once, the former pedestal color officially entered the elimination ranks, which coincided with the fact that a giant store in China was doing a Women’s Day theme promotion activity at that time, so I did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy a 32-inch LCD camera with usB external connection and network cable function. When the merchant delivered it to my building, I proudly raised my signature pen, and the neighbors around me envied and longed for it. The deliveryman handed me the confirmation form of "Love Nong Xin Sanxiang Production" and signed my name.
After the installation, I tried it for a few days, and the effect was very good. Until today, I still used that video camera and showed off my high-end device for a while. I invited Hu Zongren to my house to watch it with me. I just watched a high-definition Hollywood blockbuster "hurt locker" from the Internet.
I heard that this film won an Oscar.
There is absolutely no shortage of beer in my family, and Hu Zongren and I are both good drinkers. We can kill almost half a box of old mountain city beer house around a pack of alcoholic peanuts. The first thing he did when he came to my home was to hit the refrigerator to find wine and cheer for my sister. I forgot exactly why she didn’t go home that day, so Hu Zongren and I just sat quietly in front of the machine and watched this controversial and cruel film.
When I saw Hu Zongren’s words ring in the middle of the time, I pressed the pause button. I just wanted to despise Hu Zongren. When did you take a picture, Hu Zongren picked up the words? Oh, teacher, I have something to leave this time. Why don’t you come directly when I’m finished?
Hu Zongren’s words are old-fashioned, and I can still hear them even if I don’t play the function. However, I can’t hear what the other party is saying clearly, but I feel that the other party is a woman and anxious from the tone. Hu Zongren perfunctory the other party and said that he would go there as soon as he was busy, and then hung up in a hurry.
Then Hu Zongren asked me, why don’t you keep playing when I’m finished? I thought that Hu Zongren was not a native, but he said that when he was busy, he went over and said that the other party was in Chongqing. That must be what business he received, so I asked him if he had any business to do.
He took a sip of wine and said it was nothing. It was yesterday that someone found him and asked him to look at their residential house. It seemed that there was something wrong with that house. I asked Hu Zongren, but didn’t you watch Feng Shui? Hu Zongren said that listening to the other party’s meaning doesn’t seem to be a matter of feng shui, but that there is that thing somewhere in this building. I will accompany you to see this film later and I will go there. There is no hurry.
I press the play button, but I can’t watch the movie anymore.
This is my personal bad habit. I must admit that although Hu Zongren and I had a hard time with the brake road before that, although it was a happy ending in the end, it made me feel an unprecedented disappointment from that period. However, the more I don’t want to get involved in these things, the more I try to avoid them, but when I really know that these things are so close to me, it is difficult to control my itching feeling.
Smoking is addictive, drinking is addictive, and it seems that catching ghosts is addictive.
After watching it absently for another ten minutes, I really couldn’t help it. Just press the source button and the whole living room will be quiet again. Hu Zongren glared at me. That seems to mean that I’m fucking watching it. What do you mean? I looked at him and said, I’ll see you after we take that order. Now go to work. I’ll go with you!
I especially emphasize whether I want to help or not, just buy me a meal if I help you. I don’t want money.
And it turns out that after that, Hu Zongren and I will share the commission, because we both take money for nothing to help others eliminate disasters, no matter how much money we have, we must take some, otherwise it will be called meddling and causing cause and effect.
Hu Zongren knew me well. I think he read my mind at that time. He knew that I really couldn’t sit still and became addicted, so he gulped down the remaining half bottle of beer and said, OK, we’ll leave now.
We’ve both been drinking. Let’s just take a taxi! I said to Hu Zongren
Ok! He promised that he was really a law-abiding middle-aged man.
I took a taxi at the gate of the community and went straight to Yuan Jiagang. Hu Zongren didn’t tell me again except that the destination was Yuan Jiagang. Don’t worry about scaring taxi drivers. It’s not easy to live hard for a month. Hu Zongren has a habit. He likes to chat with taxi drivers. I used to be talkative. Later, when he asked him what he loves, he told me that because I know the people in this city best, I guess they heard a lot of trivial things in this city, and sometimes they can continue to dig because of it, so as to achieve a single business.
Hu Zongren is careless but not stupid.
It was not until Yuan Jiagang got on the bus that Hu Zongren told me what he knew when he received the message yesterday.
He said that the other party is a big sister of the property management company in that building, which is a high-rise building with mixed business and people. There are also many small companies, such as clubs and advertising companies. The building was built in about two years, and it is a single building with a small skirt building. The skirt building area has been rented to some car sales companies and supermarkets. In recent six months, the building has been constantly complained that the quality of the stairs is seriously problematic, and every time it is punished, the young female company in this building invited the elevator maintenance unit for inspection as the owner said. I found that there was no problem at all, but there were many elderly people living in the building. They may have seen a lot of things because of their age. Hell, for them, I’m afraid the degree of shock has been greatly reduced. They also told the property management company that when they took the ladder, they occasionally heard a woman crying in some corner of the ladder.
Hu Zongren told me that it was said to be a sad cry.
I wondered in my heart that Hu Zongren and I had already met many times because of this ghost. Although the way of appearance and the nature of obsession are different each time, it is certain that these female ghosts are unwilling or unwilling to die. Otherwise, how can there be strong obsession that causes them to scare others and hurt others?
In Hu Zongren’s speech, he also learned about the elder sister who promised to the property management that she would go to the scene today to see what the specific situation was, or agreed in person that when she came here, Hu Zongren patted me on the shoulder and said that I would be busy this time. I can buy two televisions like you at home!
I gave him a white look and despised him in my heart, so much promise to talk, and we arrived at the building.
Although this building was built about 2 years ago, judging from the falling of tiles on the exterior wall, it must have been cheaper when the developer chose materials for building, otherwise it would never have fallen so badly even if it was affected by environmental weathering.
When we were building, Hu Zongren called the property management company and said that we had arrived and asked each other how to get there. But later, after hanging up, Hu Zongren said that people would pick us up.
In March, although the weather was neither cold nor warm, Hu Zongren and I waited for each other’s arrival while smoking upstairs. We saw a slightly fat woman in a flowered sweater with sleeves in her forties looking at us a few times, and then she came towards us. I asked Hu Zongren if she was this big sister. He said that he didn’t know that she had never seen it, but soon the big sister came to us and politely told me that you were Mr. Hu, so I expected you.
I said I wasn’t this guy, but Mr. Hu. We were companions. I came with him to help the elder sister. I was a little embarrassed, then I reached out and shook hands with Hu Zongren. Then I led the way around the back of the building and walked down the stairs from the flat street floor to the first floor of their property management office. There were two young male workers in the office, but since we entered the room, the elder sister said to let them avoid each other and talk about something.
It is not difficult to see that this woman is a leader. At least in this company, we waited until the two boys went out. This elder sister was very enthusiastic and brought us a cup of warm water. Then she sat back to her place and introduced herself first. She said that her surname was Zhang Suo, and Hu Zongren and I both called her Zhang Dajie.
Sister Zhang told us the detailed process of the whole thing. The thing is that almost half a year ago, they received the first complaint about this matter. A woman owner in her twenties who lives on the 17th floor of this building said that after her class came home and parked the car, she got off the garage stairs. After a while, suddenly there was a chill on her head, and then her hair seemed to be caught by something. The lady said that the strength was not particularly great at that time and she was not very painful, so she was able to break free and lift it at the same time. At first glance, I found that my hair seemed to be sucked by a vacuum cleaner, and it was generally sucked along the top of the ladder at the air pressure vent outside the balance elevator car. The lady said that when she broke free, but she didn’t think about it at all. She thought that the ladder should be overhauled for too many years, otherwise, if the hair was really sucked and stuck on the ladder cable, it would be estimated that she would not be able to break free, and that person would be in danger.
Speaking of which, Sister Zhang handed us a picture from the table when the developer bought the ladder when the house was repaired. The merchant told the manufacturer to look at it. Before we went, she had already prepared these things. Hu Zongren took it and looked at it. Although she couldn’t understand those inexplicable parameters and specifications, the design of the ladder was just like that of our daily stairs.
Sister Zhang went on to say that after receiving the complaint, their property first apologized to the owner, and then immediately actively contacted the workers of the elevator equipment maintenance unit to inspect it. Sister Zhang said that because the front elevator was only recently inspected once, even if the parts were aging, it should have been discovered during the annual inspection. So this time, the workers were invited to inspect it again, saying that there was no problem with the elevator, and the vent of the female owner was not directly connected to the outside of the car, but there was a zigzag turn. In other words, the corner pipe only plays a role in dredging the air, so that there will be some breeze in the closed elevator due to the movement of the cable during the operation of the elevator, and even if there is wind, it is impossible to suck things out of the car from the outside.
Sister Zhang went on to say that although the professional gave the inspection results and the property management company told the owner on the 17th floor, it was difficult for both parties to reach an agreement and the owner didn’t care too much about it. However, since then, almost every month, owners of different floors have complained about the same problem, and the property management company has invited people to repair it again, but the conclusion is still the same. It is impossible for the vent root to suck things out.
Hu Zongren and I looked at each other, and the more our hearts were white, the more likely it was that Hu Zongren and I were in charge.
