(New year, new atmosphere, 16 years have come, I hope to have more insights today, but also to give myself the confidence and motivation to persevere.) ）

What is a Sailor?

At the time, I didn't know it, but as I grew up and came into contact with some things, I gradually understood and understood something.

It was a kind of person who was similar to a mage and a Taoist, and they were not ordinary warlocks. They have their own beliefs and cultures, and they are very similar to the Maoshan sect of Taoism.

According to my later analysis and understanding, they should belong to the Cult of God.

They all have a lineage, the most important of which include the mantras of the gods, the magic water charms, the ritual procedures, and the emergency precepts. Of course, they all have mysterious spells and divine water, and they also have their own secrets and recipes.

The culture of sailors has spread widely in the Hunan and Chu areas, and has penetrated into the lives of the people from ancient times to the present. It is said that the earliest sailor culture and inheritance originated from the Meishan area of Hunan and Chu, and was dominated by Xinhua and Anhua Meishan in Chu.

They belong to one of the most local representations, primitive, and mystical groups.

In this area, various ethnic groups such as Han, Miao, Yao, and Tu are scattered and integrated. They believed deeply in the culture and belief of sailors, and also passed on this culture to the whole of Xiangchu and even further afield.

The sailor is not only mysterious, but also a belief. It is completely different from the feng shui masters in Han culture, but it also has similar similarities. The scope of the water division is extremely broad, and there are broad and narrow senses. There is also what people call the clear distinction between decent and evil factions.

These sailors all have their own unique spells, and these spells that have been displayed by them have completely penetrated into people's lives. No matter what expertise these sailors had, they all had one characteristic, and that was that they had mastered a kind of water, the Dharma water!

As long as you have practiced Fa Shui, you will be called a water master.

Of course, in my opinion, this spell can be called water, or even a spelled spell water.

In the true sense of the word, the sailors are still mainly near Meishan, and they have inherited this spell since ancient times. and the disciples who took them as the center and covered and passed on to Xiangchu as a supplement.

The inheritance of these disciples is more, or the inheritance of the master can no longer be examined one by one. But there is no doubt that the ancestral origin of their initial acceptance of Fashui came from Meishan, but many people don't even know Meishan anymore.

Some people even say that the sailor first came from the water tribe, and I have some doubts about this statement, and I dare not agree with it from the bottom of my heart. After all, the water tribes that live in Guizhou today were only one of the barbarians in Xiangxi at the earliest.

What's more, today, there is no real sailor in the water tribe, and the sailor with Meishan as the center is still passed down from each other everywhere in Xiangchu.

Moreover, the inheritance of these Hunan and Chu sailors is very extensive, and there is no distinction between ethnicities and men and women, and even many people have forgotten their origins. Therefore, I don't think the statement that the water masters came from the water tribe is not true, and they are just a people who have studied the water and have a small number of water masters.

(Of course, the author, as a person who has been in contact with the water masters, naturally did not go deep into the water tribe to understand the current situation, and he is not sure how many water masters there are in the water tribe today.) ）

People's belief and worship of the water master has been completely penetrated into everyone's life after many years of continuous blending. For example, people who are craftsmen have their own spells and water, and people who do everything in daily life have their own set of spells and water.

Even in today's era, I'm still convinced of it. Because there are some people in my family who are a little bit familiar with these waters. For example, my youngest uncle and grandfather were a plasterer, and he had a bowl of water that he was very proud of all his life, and he was known as the water refiner.

Of course, my uncle and grandfather have some other water, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. However, I have personally seen a master who mends the pot, and the old man said that he has a bowl of snow and frost water. The father of one of my classmates would catch snakes and find herbs because he had a bowl of magical snake refining water and so on.

These are just ordinary people in life, and the reason why they are respected in normal life is because they have all practiced Fa water to a greater or lesser extent and learned the real water Fa Fa. Learning these water can not only stop bleeding and relieve pain, but also exorcise evil spirits and heal injuries and diseases.

Of course, there is also a legend about the sailor clan, that is, the theory of good and evil of the sailor.

Decent sailors are all curing diseases and saving people, and the Dharma water they refine is used for the right path. For example, the legendary famous refining hemostatic water is specially designed to stop bleeding and relieve pain; And the refining bone water is not to turn people's ** corpse bones, but to treat people with bone spurs stuck in their throats.

Some people say that all this is too magical and superstitious, but I can tell you responsibly that these things are real. Because my father knows these two things, and even now he is quite famous in his hometown.

As for the so-called heretical sailors, the reason why they are called evil sects is because the Dharma water they refine is used to harm or indirectly harm people.

For example, the legendary refining and combining water that caused the anger of people and gods is said to be the magic water used by those people to ** women; And there is a kind of refining water, which makes people have inexplicable stomach pain; And there is also a kind of rampant hair refining, which will make people crazy and uncontrollable.

These and so on are all kinds of Dharma water, and as long as everyone can think of it, they will appear almost in life. However, it is said that because the evil cultivator is angry with the gods after all, he gradually disappeared in this world, and even if he did, he rarely dared to show his face.

And Xiaohua's grandfather is said to be a water master, and he is a master who is good at alchemy water. The reason why he is called a money signboard is that when he stops in front of a shop, which one will prosper.

Even at a young age, I was deeply skeptical of such a miraculous deed. Sure enough, when talking about this senior, someone asked questions in front of the clan elder without knowing the depths.

Xiaohua's house belongs to the small house in the family, so the descendants are particularly high. Among the clan elders who came to mourn this night, four were relatives who belonged to their family within five suits. And three of them are always the same generation as Xiaohua's father, and one is older than his father.

This clan elder Jin Ji Gong is a recognized literati of his own clan, who served as a security chief before liberation, and is a well-known humble gentleman in ten miles and eight townships. I estimated that he was about the same age as my grandfather, but a generation older than my grandfather, so I naturally felt a lot more awe.

In particular, I heard that the hanging couplets on the mourning hall and the wooden pillars in the compound were all from his hands, which really made the villagers sigh and make us children fascinated. Because we have always believed that only poets in books can write these things.

Iriji Gong was not angry at some questioning, because Xiaohua's grandfather was still his cousin. This mourning is also an old man with the highest rank in the village, who is also from his room, and he is also the twenty grandmothers of the cousin of the Gong of Ji, so he naturally will not talk nonsense.

People of their age, even my grandfather, must have seen Grandpa Xiaohua. Hearing the explanation of Iriji Gongyi, we knew the truth only by the juniors, clansmen, and even some relatives next to us.

Xiaohua's grandfather was originally a rich young master, and he followed his father to do business in Dong'an, a place on the border between Hunan and Guangxi. Xiaohua's grandfather has been an atmospheric person since he was a child, although he was born in a rich family, he usually rewards some beggars and homeless people, and he actually learned a bowl of alchemy water somehow.

At that time, the vicinity of Dong'an was even the territory of the Gui warlords, and some people saw that Xiaohua's grandfather's family had a lot of money, so they had a little thought, and actually induced Xiaohua's grandfather to smoke a big cigarette. At that time, smoking big cigarettes was not completely repulsive, because it was the stuff of rich people.

In the years when the devil came to Xiangchu, Xiaohua's grandfather's father was worried about his family, so he returned to his hometown to visit relatives and temporarily handed over the business to Xiaohua's grandfather. Who knew that when Xiaohua's grandfather's father actually rode home, he encountered a tiger, and even people and horses were pulled into the tiger's den by the tiger.

Back then, this was a sensational event, and the chief of the security guard also took people and guns to the tiger's den. In the end, although he hunted two tigers, Grandpa Xiaohua's father only picked up a few bones, and Grandpa Xiaohua has been in charge since then.

In the chaotic years, Xiaohua's grandfather lost all his belongings and returned to his hometown with a smoking addiction that he couldn't quit. Relying on a bowl of alchemy water, he still got a bowl of rice to eat on the street of the next township.

This alchemy water is not able to make gold, but it means that his bowl of magic water can be a bonus to his family, and it is of great benefit to some metal businesses such as ironshops and steelmaking. So he was invited to sit in the hall when the iron shop was opened, and he was able to support his family and continue to smoke a lot.

To what extent did he get a bull's nose later? It is said that because of his heavy smoking, people often ask him not to go, and his family wants to make money to support the family, so they take his clothes and hang them in front of the furnace, and make offerings like gods, which can actually be effective.

This kind of miracle has always been talked about, but the old people in his house said that he would be rewarded for his iniquity, which not only ruined the family's property, but also caused his family to have difficulty in food and clothing. But Xiaohua's grandfather's father never repented until he died on the big smoking bed.

In my opinion, Xiaohua's father's physical condition may have been much weaker than ordinary people because of his father before he was born. Later, with the change of the times, coupled with the fatigue and hard work of the young people, it was inevitable that his life would be short.

The clan elders wrote a few memorial texts to mourn, and the text was sprinkled with thousands of words, which I couldn't understand or understand. But seeing that everyone listened to it with relish, and some people shook their heads and read it carefully, it must have been written very well in line with their lives.

My grandfather was also sitting there, but he didn't participate in the writing of the memorial text, which I guess may be due to seniority. I was also standing next to my grandfather, but then my father came back to mourn, and my father arranged for me to sleep in the room early.

Although I rarely saw my father, because of his homecoming, I was emboldened a lot, and it was so noisy outside, I fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up again, it was noisy outside, and I got up to realize that it was actually because of an accident in the pit.

This old pair of pits is said to be older than grandpa! has been in the alley of the wing room on the left, condolence for Xiaohua's father this night, it is actually bloodthirsty.

A lifeless dead thing, a tool that is usually used by farmers to operate auxiliaries, is actually said to be bloodthirsty, just hearing these is enough to make people reverie.

At that time, everything in the township had an evocative interest. My friends and I often play with the old pit, and we usually treat it as a toy, but now something strange has happened to it?

Of course, as far as I know, the reason why this old pair pit is so famous is also due to the stories that happened here before.
