Daliu Village is built near mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. Every spring, flowers bloom, pink willows and pink flowers bloom, and the scenery is even more unforgettable.

There is a two-entry house at the east end of the village. The owner of the house is Aunt Zhang, and her husband's surname is Wang. Aunt Zhang has three sons but lives alone. This does not mean that the sons are unfilial. On the contrary, they respect their mother very much.

Aunt Zhang was a widow when she was young and raised her three sons alone. He also helped them build a house and find a wife. It is very rare for a woman to have such ability in the countryside.

The reason why Aunt Zhang lives alone is ultimately related to her identity. She is a person who walks between the yin and yang worlds, which is also the legendary "yin woman".

The ghost woman can enter the underworld to communicate with the dead and do things for people in need in order to get rewarded.

Aunt Zhang entered this profession by accident. When she was 25, a man was bitten by a wild animal when she went up a mountain. She died after more than half a month of treatment. After the husband was buried, the family was completely destitute.

looked at his three young sons. Although he felt extremely sad, he still had to cheer up and take care of his children. After she had observed her filial piety for three years, her parents also advised her to remarry and find a man to help support the family.

Aunt Zhang did not agree. She was afraid that her later husband would treat her son badly, so she comforted her parents by saying that they would just hold on for a few more years until their children grew up.

This is easier said than done! The parents-in-law had passed away long ago, and the family had no extra money to help them. During those years, they ate wild vegetables and grains every day to satisfy their hunger, and the whole family looked sallow and thin.

Perhaps God has mercy on the poor, but Aunt Zhang's fate took a turn for the better when she was 30 years old.

One day she went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and met an old woman with white hair at her feet. The old woman was seriously injured at that time. If no one treated her, she might not have been able to survive the night.

Aunt Zhang was kind-hearted, so she carried the man back home, caught the only hen, and asked the doctor who walked the streets to help treat the injury.

The old woman woke up on the second day. According to her introduction, her surname was Sun. After Aunt Sun stayed at Wang's house for two days, she called Aunt Zhang to the bed at night.

"Thank you Madam Zhang for saving me. I still have a few taels of silver with me. Please help me build a coffin so that I won't become a lonely ghost after death."

Aunt Zhang felt sad after hearing this, and knew that she would not die soon. , so he calmly advised:

"Mother Sun, please rest in peace and recover from your injuries. Only the King of Hell knows the human lifespan. We living people just try hard to live a good life every day. Maybe you, old man, will survive the disaster and live a long life." It's not necessarily a hundred years old."

knew that these were words of comfort, but the kindness hidden in them made people feel warm, and Aunt Sun couldn't help but smile.

"I can feel Mrs. Zhang's kindness, but it's difficult for you as a woman to raise three children. I have a secretarial skill that I want to teach you, but I don't know if you are willing to learn it. The secret skill may be taboo, but after you learn it, Apart from anything else, there is always no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish at home."

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard this. Their family really needs money now. She is willing to do any job that can make money, as long as it does not violate secular ethics and does not harm the laws of nature.

At that moment, Aunt Sun told her all about the profession of walking as a yin, and Aunt Zhang was extremely grateful for this. Many secret techniques in the world are not easily revealed to others and are regarded as heirlooms of many families.

It's like the carpenter who recruits apprentices and works for the master for several years without hard work, but he can't learn his skills easily. It is not unheard of for a disciple to starve his master to death.

To outsiders, the master always has to hide his secrets subconsciously. If Aunt Sun hadn't wanted to repay her kindness, this secret technique would probably have been taken to the grave.

From then on, every time it was late at night and the yin energy was strong, Aunt Sun would hold on to her sick body and seize the time to teach Aunt Zhang how to move the yin.Aunt Zhang's first apprenticeship was quite successful, which laid the foundation for her future reputation.

At that time, an old man Qin had just passed away in the next village. When Aunt Zhang was practicing walking in the yin, she met an old man who was looking back frequently on Huangquan Road.

The two knew each other before. Old Qin was shocked when he saw her. Madam Zhang was still young, how could she be walking with dead souls like them?

Aunt Zhang saw what he was thinking and immediately told him the whole story. Old man Qin was very happy when he heard this. He had an unsolved matter on his mind, and now he met someone who could help.

He was a very thoughtful person and wanted to take this opportunity to help Aunt Zhang open up a business. So he shouted to the dead souls who were walking on the Huangquan Road heading towards the gate of hell:

"Everyone, please go slowly for now. What's the matter?" If you want to fulfill your wish, you can talk to Mrs. Zhang. She can walk in the yin and travel between the yin and yang worlds."

As soon as these words came out, all the dead souls who were busy turning their heads. I saw a fat man running over first, followed closely by other dead souls.

Aunt Zhang was quickly surrounded by people. Under the auspices of Old Man Qin, they talked about their wishes one after another.

The fat man who ran over first was a wealthy businessman from the town. He said:

"I once raised an outhouse without telling my wife at home, and she helped me give birth to a son. Because my wife at home was very strict, I secretly I have buried some money outside, and asked Madam Zhang to tell her mother and son the news when she returns, and 20 taels of silver will be given to you as reward." As soon as Ma Fushang said this, the ghosts who were watching suddenly burst into laughter. Make a sound. I didn't realize it. This man is tall and strong, but he turns out to be a strict wife.

This laughter has diluted the dull and sad atmosphere on Huangquan Road a lot.

Aunt Zhang took more than 20 orders in this trip, and it was thanks to her good memory, otherwise she would really not be able to remember them all at once. After bidding farewell to all the dead souls, Aunt Zhang returned to the earthly world at the designated time.

Aunt Sun was also very happy when she learned about this, "In this way, you will soon gain a reputation in this industry, and you will not have to worry about your livelihood in the future."

Aunt Zhang was very happy to receive the master's affirmation, and she went there on the second day He went from house to house to help the dead souls realize their wishes. It doesn't matter if there are those who have doubts, just tell the deceased and the secret between them.

Aunt Zhang finished the work after working for more than 10 days. The rewards she received were also very generous. This time she not only improved her family's life, but most importantly, she also accumulated a good reputation.

Thanks to word of mouth, Aunt Zhang quickly became famous all over the country. Another month later, Aunt Sun passed away due to serious injuries. Aunt Zhang and her three sons respected her last wish and buried her in a mountain col.

Aunt Zhang quickly built a new house in the village after making money. This change in the Wang family naturally aroused the jealousy of some people, but when they thought of her identity, they did not dare to be too embarrassed.

No matter what others think, Aunt Zhang is very satisfied with her career. As a mother, you are strong. In order to feed and clothe your children, gossips from outsiders become less important.

Time makes people grow old, and a few years have passed, and all the sons in the family have married wives. My son is very filial to me, but my daughter-in-law here doesn't have much contact with her, and she is always a little taboo about cheating.

Especially after several daughters-in-law became pregnant one after another, they always subconsciously avoided the mother-in-law's side, for fear that she would harm the children.

The three daughters-in-law are smart enough to know that their husbands are filial to their mother-in-law, but they dare not express their concerns openly. But Aunt Zhang traveled between the Yin and Yang worlds and saw a lot of life and death in the human world, and she also knew a lot of private things in other people's back houses. How could these actions of

and others be hidden from her? Aunt Zhang had mixed feelings in her heart after seeing this. She had been raising a family by herself over the years, and she had long developed a strong character, and she also had her own persistence and self-esteem in her heart.

So he found an excuse to say that there were more and more children in the house and they were too noisy. I am too busy to take care of my children, so I might as well move to the village.

The three sons naturally disagreed. If so, wouldn't others scold them for being unfilial? Aunt Zhang smiled slightly after hearing this. This was easy to solve. She deliberately found a time to scold her three sons, saying that they didn't know how to understand their mother's feelings at all.

These words made my sons want to cry without tears. How could mother think so? In desperation, he had no choice but to fulfill the old man's wish and seize the time to build two more houses.

The other villagers began to sympathize with the three of them when they saw it. They said behind their backs that the ghost walkers had weird personalities, presumably because they often interacted with ghosts. Aunt Zhang was not angry after hearing this, and lived happily every day.

It was a hot day, and Aunt Zhang was sitting under a tree to enjoy the cool air, when a carriage stopped in front of her yard. Then a woman dressed as a servant got out of the carriage and knocked on her courtyard door.

Aunt Zhang introduced the people to the door and served tea to entertain the guests. After some conversation, we learned that this woman was the confidant of Mrs. Li Yuanwai.

Their eldest son, Li Mingsheng, was about to hold a wedding. But for some reason, when he came back last night, he smelled a strange smell, as if something had been buried underground for a long time, emitting an earthy smell.

The doctor came to check and found nothing abnormal. He only said that the young master was in good health and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him so far. Having said that, how can a mother not be worried when she sees her son like this? The smell is so strong that it's hard to avoid people gossiping about your wedding the day after tomorrow.

If you always smell bad, it will be troublesome to take the imperial examination in the future. Which official is willing to work with you?

The future wife of the Li family is County Magistrate Liu's daughter. The reason why Magistrate Liu is willing to marry his daughter is because he is optimistic about Li Mingsheng's future. If he learns about this, he may change his mind and cancel the engagement.

Mrs. Li naturally didn't want to let such a thing happen, because she was afraid that the news would leak out and she didn't even dare to hire a Taoist priest. It was the cook at home who mentioned Aunt Zhang's reputation and thought of asking her to help take a look.

It is always easier for women to communicate with each other. As long as Aunt Zhang dresses up and enters the back house of the Li family, Mrs. Li has reason to keep her there so that she can go about her business at night.

After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhao took out ten taels of money for running errands and said that if she could help the young master solve the problem, my wife would give him a big gift.

After Aunt Zhang collected the money, she got on the carriage and headed to Yuan Li's home. After about an hour, the two finally arrived in the city.

Aunt Zhang dressed as a female storyteller and entered the back house. But this is not difficult for her. She has heard a lot of strange things while walking in the Yin and Yang realms.

Mrs. Li and several aunts were fascinated by what they heard, and they dispersed only when the maid reminded that dinner time was coming.

Mrs. Li found an excuse to let Aunt Zhang stay, and asked her husband to spend the night with her concubine. He quietly got up at night when everyone was asleep and took Aunt Zhang to his son's courtyard.

Li Mingsheng followed his mother's instructions and hid in the hospital since his body smelled like earth. He is a man who pays attention to appearance and body, handsome and elegant. The strange smell coming from

's body also shocked him so much that he even ate dinner with his nose blocked.

His eyes lit up when he saw his mother bringing people over, and then he quickly stepped forward and saluted the two elders. He is also very respectful, not as arrogant as a rich man towards ordinary villagers.

It’s not surprising that there are so many people greeting her. No one wants to be offended for no reason. Aunt Zhang showed a smile on her face. She looked at Li Mingsheng and soon felt a familiar aura on him, which was obviously the aura of the dead souls in the underworld.

concluded from this that the earthy smell on Master Li's body should be related to ghosts. She informed the mother and son of this guess.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li quickly asked: "So, if we drive away the ghost, my children will be able to return to normal. There is still one day before the wedding, can it be made in time?"

"You don't need to worry, in my opinion. There is no harm in coming to this ghost, otherwise your young master would have been seriously ill. How about we invite him out and let the ghost tell the reason in person?"

Under the curious eyes of the two people, Aunt Zhang took out a bag. This is a treasure given to her by Aunt Sun. This bag is woven with the hair of fire rats and is specially used to place the "dead air stones" picked up from the underworld.

"Dead Air Stone" is a stone formed by condensing the spirit of ghosts, which can strengthen the spirit body of ghosts. As soon as this stone was taken out, the room that was originally cool at night was suddenly surrounded by waves of dark wind, and the temperature dropped a lot.

Just as Li Mingsheng was looking at the "Dead Air Stone" curiously, a black energy spread out from his jade pendant. The black energy became more and more abundant, and gradually formed the appearance of a man on the ground.

After the man transformed, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a strong Yin Qi. My soul became much more solid when I smelled it."

Then he turned to Aunt Zhang and said, "I don't know. Elder, are you willing to sell the stone to me?"

Mrs. Li became angry when she heard this, and the ghost couldn't bear to leave. Not caring about fear at the moment, he persuaded the ghost to stop haunting his son. The ghost looked about 20 years old. When he said his name was Zhang Shunan, Li Mingsheng already knew who he was.

It turns out that this ghost is his fiancée, Miss Liu's cousin, and the son of the county magistrate's wife's sister.

Zhang Shunan has been weak since he was a child and rarely goes out. But he was very talented in painting. Under the guidance of famous teachers, he was already well-known in the local area when he was 15 years old, and many people came to ask for paintings.

Just three years ago, the county magistrate’s wife wrote a letter to her sister. He said there was a famous doctor nearby and he would send the child over to have a look. The Zhang family's parents then asked a reliable family member to send Zhang Shunan over for medical treatment.

He had lived in the county government office for several years, and he naturally became familiar with his cousins ​​in his aunt's house. After several years of getting along, Miss Liu and her cousin developed a secret affection for each other, and both hoped that they could get married.

But in ancient times, we paid attention to: the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. They have no control over the marriage.

When she learned that her husband was not her cousin, Ms. Liu panicked and found her mother, saying that she already had a crush and was unwilling to marry anyone else.

The county magistrate's wife was in a dilemma. She loved her nephew, but if she wanted her to be her son-in-law, she was unwilling to do so.

Firstly, Zhang Shunan is frail and sick. Who knows if his daughter will be widowed if she marries him? Secondly, her husband will not allow it. As the patriarch, he values ​​the development and growth of the family more and will pay attention to the marriage of his children. Consider the family background of both parties.

Li Mingsheng was knowledgeable and well-groomed. This was the son-in-law that County Magistrate Liu was optimistic about. He had never considered Zhang Shunan.

The county magistrate's wife originally wanted to hide it from her husband, but unfortunately the paper could not cover the fire, and he finally found out. Magistrate Liu must not be angry when he hears this. He kindly accepted your nephew for treatment. Who knew he would do such an rude thing?

Let him give up this idea. There is absolutely no possibility of changing this marriage unless his health can improve.

Magistrate Liu was just angry, but after hearing this, Zhang Shunan seemed to see hope. From then on, he actively sought medical advice and wanted to cure his illness.

Sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes away like a thread spinning. There was only one year between engagement and marriage, so how could he have time? Zhang Shun'an was so anxious now that he didn't even want to look at his favorite paintings again. He kept saying it from time to time, finally understanding Liang Shanbo's mood.

The young boy who was serving him, Qing Songke, was frightened. The story of Butterfly Lovers has been circulating for a long time. But it's not a good thing for their families.

If the young master dies of lovesickness, how can his follower end up well? For the sake of his own future and destiny, he tried his best to make Zhang Shunan happy.

It happened that the nearby Jinguang Temple was completed, and the abbot wanted to recruit some painters to help draw Arhat and Bodhisattva. Qingsong was moved when he heard the news, and immediately persuaded the young master to go to the temple for a walk.

Qingsong's idea is not wrong. People who are anxious need something to distract their attention.

Jinguang Temple has beautiful scenery. Every morning, the four peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, making you feel like you are in a fairyland. The beautiful scenery always makes people feel happy after watching it.

After being so busy for half a month, Zhang Shunan finished painting the portrait of Bodhisattva and Arhat as required. Because he did not want wages, in order to express his gratitude, the abbot Master Xuanku personally received him.

Looking at the kind-faced mage, Zhang Shunan unknowingly expressed all the anguish in his heart, and asked the abbot to help him calculate whether there was a marriage between himself and his cousin?

Master Xuanku carefully observed his face, and asked about his birth date. After some calculations, he spoke:

"Master Zhang will definitely get what he wants. The poor monk just diagnosed your pulse and found out that you are weak. The disease can be cured, but it still needs a medicine introduction . Unfortunately, the poor monk could not fully understand the secret, and could only vaguely sense that it was related to a ghost spirit."

Zhang Shunan was overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly stood up to thank the master. I implore him to help guide me. The mage smiled and nodded, and then explained his arrangement to him in detail.

Since you want to attract ghost energy, you must first leave your body. There is a wooden fish instrument in Jinguang Temple, which was left by the senior monks, and it can help him.

Zhang Shunan, whose soul has left his body, is holding the wooden fish artifact and will be brought to the person who is destined to him.

What happened next was as expected by the Master. Zhang Shun'an's soul wandered into Li Mingsheng's jade pendant and was taken home by him.

Why does Li Mingsheng smell like earth? This is also related to the wooden fish magic weapon. The magic weapon has developed spiritual wisdom, which is because it deliberately emits ghost energy to attract ghosts.

The wooden fish weapon's actions really worked. The earthy smell on Li Mingsheng's body worried his mother, which also attracted Aunt Zhang, a shady person.

After listening to this, several people suddenly realized that there are such strange things in the world. Li Mingsheng looked at the wooden fish magic weapon and asked curiously: "What kind of medicine primer does Mr. Zhang need?"

The wooden fish magic weapon seemed to understand, and soon floated in the air and came to Aunt Zhang's. Beside him, he clicked towards the "Dead Qi Stone". It means that something like this is coming.

Aunt Zhang happily handed it to Zhang Shunan after seeing it. This stone can still be obtained in the underworld. If she wants a fire rat bag, she may have to think about it. After all, this thing is currently unique.

Zhang Shunan quickly thanked and left after receiving the medicine. He was a living soul and could not leave his body for too long.

As soon as they left, the earthy smell on Li Mingsheng's body naturally disappeared without a trace. Mrs. Li said angrily: "I don't think this marriage is reliable. Miss Liu is not willing to marry into the Li family. I don't think he is worthy of my son."

Then she asked worriedly: "Being Is there anything wrong with being haunted by ghosts? Aunt Zhang, can you think of a way to help my son exorcise evil spirits?" After hearing this, Aunt Zhang comforted her and said: "Mrs. Li, don't worry, the wooden fish instrument can eliminate evil spirits. , It won’t cause any serious harm to Mr. Li’s health. But if you are worried, just bring three roosters to Mr. Li’s room. According to folklore, roosters have the effect of attracting yang and expelling evil spirits. This method is the most convenient. "

Mrs. Li was worried about her son, so she asked the housekeeper to get some chickens over quickly. That night, it wasn't until the east turned white and she heard the crowing of roosters in her son's yard one after another that the mother felt relieved.

On the other hand, Li Mingsheng is broad-minded and is not angry when he hears that his fiancée has his heart. It is much better to break off the engagement now than to be a resentful couple in the future.

A blessing in disguise.

Mrs. Li made sense when she heard this. Now that something has happened, no matter how much you complain, it will not help. It is better to solve the problem as soon as possible. After Mr. Li and his wife got up, they visited the county government office early in the morning. When Magistrate Liu finished his official duties, he was ashamed when he heard about this incident.

Originally wanted to marry her daughter and cultivate a relationship with her son-in-law, but unexpectedly, the Li family learned about it in advance.

It would seem too pushy to bring up marriage in this way. In order to express his apology, he spoke out to the outside world, saying that the two families were incompatible with each other, and took the blame for the incident on himself, which also prevented the Li family from gossiping.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Yuanwai were very satisfied with this, and the two families peacefully broke off the marriage. From now on, the marriage between a man and a woman will have nothing to do with it.

Miss Liu was very happy after knowing the whole story. At this point, her marriage with Zhang Shunan was already secure. County Magistrate Liu was somewhat moved when he saw Zhang Shunan being so dedicated to his daughter.

Later, he learned that the abbot had approved his life, and he no longer resisted the marriage. She just asked him to take good care of his health, and after he recovered, he would hold a wedding for the two of them.

People feel refreshed during happy events! After hearing such news, Zhang Shunan walked a little faster.

Master Xuan Ku asked him to grind the "death stone" into powder and then boil it with other medicinal materials. After taking it for a month, his illness was mostly cured. Magistrate Liu also kept his promise and immediately wrote to his wife's family and asked them to send a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Two months later, two weddings were held on the same day in the city. Magistrate Liu's daughter married his cousin, while Li Mingsheng married the granddaughter of his teacher.

The two families were engaged before, and now they are holding weddings on the same day, which naturally arouses curiosity and discussion from others.

But life is for yourself, and only each other knows whether the marriage is suitable. Years later, the two couples used time to prove to the world that their original choice was correct.

Because of his help, the two couples finally got married. Aunt Zhang was also very happy. When she came back, she found that there was another happy event waiting for her.

The three sons finally discovered the truth that their mother lived alone. They scolded their respective wives and rushed over to apologize to their mother.

Aunt Zhang looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and said slowly: "I saw that you disliked the Yin-walking technique before, and I was really angry."

"The Yin-walking technique was taught to me by Aunt Sun. In my opinion, she He is the great benefactor of our family. Relying on this secret method, the whole family has lived an enviable and good life. No matter how others look down on this method, my wife is not sad at all, but her own family cannot have such thoughts. It's just disrespectful to Aunt Sun."

These words made several daughters-in-law lower their heads in shame. They have heard the principle of "don't forget the well digger". It doesn't make sense anywhere to enjoy wealth while at the same time despising those who earn it.

As the saying goes: If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, you can do no good. The daughters-in-law sincerely admitted their mistakes, and Aunt Zhang was also a sensible person. After some communication, the family finally eliminated the estrangement in their hearts.

The son and daughter-in-law soon took their mother home to live with them, and the family lived in harmony from then on. Aunt Zhang was surrounded by her children and grandchildren every day and enjoyed family happiness. She lived happily for the rest of her life.
