After that, Hua Yuxiu already had memories, so she didn't need any further introduction.
Hua Yuxiu really didn't expect what Yugu said. She didn't expect that her parents would be staked, let alone that her ups and downs experience was actually related to the Yumiao.
"I was chosen by Fish Woman because my parents became ghosts?"
Although Hua Yuxiu asked tentatively, this was probably the reason, but she already knew it in her heart.
Fish Girl nodded meaningfully at her: "Not entirely, but it accounts for 50%. When your parents became Zhuangling, they were worried about your safety and had already agreed on your way out in the underworld contract with the Fish God."
"What is the Yin Contract? Old lady, you can tell us all about it."
Yue Guanchao chewed the flower seeds. The fish girl was like a toad, poking and jumping.
Since Yu Gu had already told Hua Yuxiu her life story, she certainly didn't want to hide it anymore and explain the secret of the Yin Contract.
Driving live piles is actually sacrificing living human lives to buildings and wild gods. In this process, since human lives are involved, there will definitely be dirty methods. If you and I are willing to drive live piles, that's it. In more cases , some people didn’t know the situation and were deceived into committing suicide.
This kind of thing has happened before!
In the previous dynasty, human life was less valuable than it is now. If there was a big project like a bridge or a palace, it was often necessary to drive piles to ensure that the construction process was safe and smooth.
As for the person who will make the pile, it will definitely take some thought. It would be better if there are poor people who volunteer to be the pile spirit. It can be done with both money and money. For most people, no matter how much money you give, others will not be willing to sell their lives. Here you go, there is an old saying that it is better to die than to live. Most people only have one life. They take money to die, so why bother?
In this case, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy a person.
Some craftsmen are accustomed to traveling around the world. They are well-informed and courageous. They also have many bad ideas. Whether you are willing or not, they will trick you into it first.
When it's time to lay foundation piles, these craftsmen will deliberately go to a group of beggars or lazy people, saying that there is a lack of a master on the site and they need to find a handyman temporarily. Because the work is urgent, they will be given sixty copper plates a day.
At that time, an ordinary farmer was exhausted from working and only earned twenty coppers a day. Even for ordinary workers, it was already a high salary. These beggars and lazy people were all jobless vagrants. Of course, they were itching to wait. If the willing one takes the bait, the craftsman will bring the beggar near the foundation pile.
They persuaded the beggar to change his clothes and ate and drank a lot. When the beggar became confused, he sent him to the foundation pit to check whether the foundation was strong. When he got into the pit, he immediately started pouring the filler. The beggar drank. I was already in a daze, how could I still know so much, yet I was poured into the foundation pit without even shouting!
Afterwards, the owner would also give the craftsman a big red envelope. After all, the money bought a human life, and giving it to the craftsmen would make these old masters more interested. Of course, beggars can't waste the free money.
After this incident, the master's family had a spirit, the craftsman got money, and no one cared about the beggar's life or death.
Aren't they afraid that someone will cause trouble?
That must be because he is not afraid, and the craftsman is not a fool. The people he is looking for will definitely not be good people, nor are they decent people with respectability. They are just beggars and lazy people. These people have neither family nor friends. The whole family is not hungry after having enough food. When he was alive, he was regarded as a dog, but when he died, he was like an ant, and could not even get a drop of water.
As for the people who gathered with him, they wished there were fewer beggars to compete with them for their jobs. Even when they saw the people being driven to death with their own eyes, they gloated more than lamented the pity.
After all, such behavior is not crooked, and it will inevitably hurt innocent people. In the end, the craftsman and the owner work together to rob, deceive, and deceive good households into becoming human beings.
The government then issued a rule that when driving a life stake, you need to find out the life and death contract, also called the Yin and Yang contract.
This thing is just like the approval document of the dead person. It is the certificate that the dead person is buried in peace and the household registration is cancelled. For any building where piles are driven, the government must check the Yin and Yang contract. If there is no such thing, it will be deemed as unjust killing of a loved one. , Only then did the trend of tricking people into making a fool of themselves stop.
This yin and yang deed is divided into a life contract and a death contract. The life contract records mainly the name, place of birth, birth date of the ghost, and the signature document of voluntarily becoming a ghost. It should be verified by the government in the human world, and the corresponding death The deed is much more mysterious. In addition to recording the birth date and birth date, it also contains the wishes made by the spirit to the gods.
It can be understood that the life contract is a contract between a spirit and a living person, and the death contract is a contract between a spirit and a god. The two contracts are signed together and then divided into two. The life contract is kept by the owner's family, and the death contract is sent to the god after worshiping it. Foundation pouring and preservation.
"Do you know what is written in the couple's death deed?"
Fish Girl pretended to be mysterious and asked, and continued to explain without waiting for everyone's reaction: "In this death contract, the couple asked the gods to protect their daughter until she is thirty years old. If she is not dead by the age of thirty, she will voluntarily become a disciple of the Fish God. From then on, I became my disciple."
"That doesn't mean he is a Chuma Immortal. What do you mean is that the Fish God chose Boss Hua to be a Chuma Immortal?"
In the fairy culture of the Northeast, wild fairies will indeed choose horse disciples, and orthodox gods will also choose Tao disciples. In Yue Guanchao's view, falling gods and rising horses are both related to establishing connections with certain wild fairies.
Yu Gu said: "You can look at it this way. Anyway, falling gods and rising horses are both disciples."
"But why? Why do you want to become a disciple after you turn thirty?"
Although Hua Yuxiu didn't understand the current situation, she was relieved. At least her current situation didn't offend the wild god, so there was still room for discussion.
"Your parents can't help it." Fish Girl sighed: "At that time, you had a congenital frailty, and you were already thin compared to your peers. The fortune teller said that you would not live to be twenty years old, and you would probably die in your teens. , they also knew this, so they agreed to make a stake and leave such a large sum of money for you."
"I'm still worried before I die. I made a death pact with the Fish God and asked her to bless you to live past thirty, for as long as you want. Since the Fish God is a wild god, he won't help living people for no reason. Since she bless you, then It must mean getting something from living people.”
"This thing is your life, that is, use the life span it gives you to become a disciple of the Fish God."
When Yu Gu said this, she paused and her tone became serious: "From the beginning, your fate has been doomed. Every year after you pass the age of twenty is no longer your own life. It is the life span brought to you by the Fish God."
"The medicine I asked you to drink is just to make you realize this in advance. Even without this bottle of medicine, these scars will grow when you start to age. This is the price of eternal youth."
"But...but I'm living a good life now, why should I become a disciple of the Fish God!"
Hua Yuxiu listened to what Yugu said about the past, and finally understood why the discerning gentlemen were unwilling to get involved. This was a deal that had been confirmed thirty or forty years ago, and even the parties involved were dead. Even the possibility of mediation is gone.
Even if she knew the whole story, Hua Yuxiu couldn't accept it. She didn't want to be a disciple of Luoshen. If she didn't become a famous Han drama queen, could it be that from now on she could only be a shady goddess, let alone the disparity in status? , she couldn't accept the fact that the fish god's disciples needed blood to maintain their appearance.
"Is it possible to terminate the death contract?"
Yue Guanchao knew that if he was like a disciple instead of being cursed, there would be a way to break the death contract.
"You have to ask the Fish God about this. I'm just a temple keeper, and I can't make decisions for the Fish God!"
I believe you are a ghost... you are a bad old woman. Yue Guanchao laughed and laughed: "Old lady, these old sesame seeds and rotten millet must be forty or fifty years old. Since you know so much in detail, how can you just be a temple guardian?" Old lady, that old beggar woman, it’s you!”
He had already heard it just now. If according to Yu Gu's statement, Hua Yuxiu was a child chosen by the Fish God since she was a child, then the person who appeared next to her would definitely not be an ordinary person, an old beggar she had never met before. Grandma, why do you want to raise her until she is ten years old? The only thing that is certain is that the old beggar woman may be related to this couple.
She is probably the only one who knows so much about this couple and yet is of the same age.
The old lady nodded and said: "Yes, I am the beggar woman back then. I was also the one who presided over the sacrifice ceremony for the Fish Temple. I was the one who wrote their death deeds. I thought this child would get a good reward. Being supported by this construction company, how could these unscrupulous people throw the child out across the river and destroy the bridge, and they can only turn into an old beggar woman to support her."
"But." She changed the topic and looked at Hua Yuxiu and continued: "She still has to go through some hurdles on her own. I can't take care of her all the time. She must also experience loneliness, poverty and misery. This is It’s the fate of a weak person, or in other words, if it weren’t for this child, the Fish God might not be willing to let this couple be a stake.”
"Choosing a disciple is not just about anyone. You must have a predestined relationship with the Fish God. This will make it easier for the Fish God to take over. People who are weak have weak three souls and seven souls and are not easily rejected and resisted. They are also the most natural disciples. I believe this. You have experienced it too.”
Yu Gu is right about this. Anyone who is a disciple is either weak and prone to evil spirits, or he is destined to be a lonely, poor and miserable person. Such people are naturally suitable for possessing immortals.
Such people must have been weak and sick since they were young, or they may be nagging. Some old people said that this is because the children have not grown up yet and cannot control the celestial eye. This is why this weird situation occurs. As they grow older and officially come out, they will Now that you can control your clairvoyance, if you don't take action when you get older, you will probably become a nagging person.
