My name is Xifeng. When I was born, I was destined not to live an ordinary life because my family is a unique family. Although my mother is an ordinary woman, my father is a very unique person in the world, and his profession is also unique in the world.
When I was a child, in our ancient town, the tradition of men supporting the family and women raising children was still followed. My father's profession was mysterious and had been the only one in nine generations. He strictly followed the teachings of his ancestors and kept it a secret from his wife. My mother was a very obedient woman. If my father didn't tell her, she would never ask. Therefore, my mother had been married to my father for many years and still didn't know what business he was in.
What is my father's occupation
A shop specializing in ghost stories!
The so-called ghost affairs only refer to ghosts. No matter if ghosts are sick or injured, bullied by ghosts, or suffer any injustice in the human world, they will take care of everything. As for living people, they will not care at all.
The person who passed down this profession was my great-grandfather, who was the ninth generation elder. He was a descendant of the Maoshan sect and learned the authentic Maoshan techniques. After he debuted, he was famous in the martial arts world for exorcising ghosts and demons. When he was old, he realized a truth, which can be regarded as a summary. Exorcising ghosts and demons can only bring temporary peace to the world. It is a temporary solution, not a permanent solution. The root cause lies in the ghosts and evil spirits. If you want to solve the root cause, you must start with the ghosts and evil spirits. There are many reasons why ghosts and evil spirits harm the world, but few of them harm people for no reason. Most of them have deep resentment before death, no one to worship them after death, injuries and illnesses but no Yin doctor, and their temperaments have changed drastically, and they are bullied by ghosts or feel indignant when encountering difficulties, so they take revenge on the world.
Grandpa Taizu decided to open a ghost shop that specializes in solving these problems for ghosts and calming their emotions. This would reduce the number of evil ghosts in the underworld and bring more peace to the world.
At this point, someone may ask, the customers attracted by this store are all ghosts, they only have ghost money, and they can't travel in the world of the living, how can our family survive
Hey, you don't have to worry about that. My great grandfather is very smart. He helps a ghost once and gets a ghost tooth. Using Taoist alchemy, 100 ghost teeth can be refined into a black pearl. This thing is a valuable treasure, both in ancient times and now. According to the current market price, one is more than 100,000. In a year, there are always hundreds of ghost teeth in the account, and the income is quite considerable.
Since I was born, my father hung a peach wood plaque around my neck with the words "ghost affairs" engraved on it. Firstly, the peach wood can ward off evil spirits, and secondly, it shows my identity as the next generation heir of the ghost affairs store, and all ghosts should avoid me. Since I was old enough to understand, my father began to teach me Maoshan magic. At that time, filial sons were born under the stick. If you didn't want to learn or were lazy, you would either get hit by the bamboo stick on your palm or have your buttocks bruised. No matter how stubborn you were, you would be punished.
Later, when I went to primary school, my classmates saw the wooden sign on my neck and all made fun of me for being a hermaphrodite (a mentally ill person). The teacher also came to me and told me not to wear such feudal and superstitious things. I went home and cried and said I didn’t want to wear it, but my father frowned and scolded me, saying that it was feudal and superstitious. If I hadn’t done this job, there would be so many more troublemakers in the world. Today, your teacher wouldn’t dare to say this. I couldn’t take off the sign, otherwise he would break my legs.
My father was very strict. When he got angry, I dared not say a word. Seeing that I was wronged, my mother raised my collar and asked me to tuck the wooden sign inside my clothes so that it would not be exposed. This way, I would be less humiliated at school. But I was still not happy. I was really unhappy to wear this thing to bed every day. However, something happened later, which made me completely understand my father's painstaking efforts.
