Sitting at the table, Master took a lighter and lit the candles on the birthday cake.

With a smile on his face: "Jianfei, blow out the candles and remember to close your eyes and make a wish."

"Thank you, Master."

I closed my eyes and made a wish that I and Master would be healthy and safe.

Then, the candles were blown out.

"The cake will be eaten later. Let's eat the vegetables and drink wine first." The master took out the wine.

I quickly started to help pour the wine.

The master grinned and said, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you will be eighteen."

"Master, I respect you and thank you for your kindness in raising me over the years." I stood up and toasted Master with a glass of wine.

The master waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down, don't get up."

After saying that, he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

I also drank the wine in the glass, and then said: "Master, shouldn't you tell me what you promised me back then?"

The master was slightly startled: "You still remember."

"Of course I remember that after so many years, I have always thought about avenging my family." I lowered my voice.

The master hummed: "You haven't been lazy since you went to college, right? Have you not thrown away what I taught you?"

"I didn't throw it away, Master. Now I can do the same as you, reach out and use the secret technique of catching ghosts directly."

Over the years, I have always kept Master's advice in mind, that is, the murderer who killed my family was related to evil spirits.

So over the years, I have secretly consolidated and learned the skills that Master taught me when I have free time, so that I can continue to become stronger.

Master said happily: "Yes, progress is a good thing. Since I promised to tell you today, I will definitely tell you.

But I didn’t expect that this day would come so quickly. Haha, when I was in Xiaotang Village three years ago, you were only fifteen years old and a junior high school student.”

I looked solemn: "Master, just tell me, let's get straight to the point and get to the point, don't beat around the bush."

"I can understand, I know you are anxious to know, but you have been waiting for so many years, and you still can't wait for just a moment and a half?" Master joked.

I didn't say anything, picked up the bottle and started pouring wine.

The master narrowed his eyes and said, "Bring a piece of paper and a pen over here. Just write down what I'm going to say next."

I quickly went to the study room and got a notebook and a pen.

Go back to the table and sit down.

Master looked at me: "You were born on the Hungry Ghost Festival. On the day you were born, the gates of hell were wide open and hundreds of ghosts walked at night.

That night I sat on the roof and saw with my own eyes the nocturnal ghosts passing behind the village.

Then there was lightning and thunder, and it started to rain heavily.

It rained so hard that night that the sky seemed to be torn apart.

A dark thing emerged from the ghost door above the dome, and I don’t know what it is, and I still don’t know it.”

I turned on the recording on my phone and listened quietly to Master.

The master took a sip of wine and continued: "That black thing fell from the sky and landed on the roof of your house.

I was about to go over and take a look, but the thing was struck by lightning. When I got to the roof of your house, the black thing was gone.

And at that time, the cry of a child came from the house, yes, you, the little unlucky guy, was born.

To this day, I wonder if you are the reincarnation of that black thing. If your destiny is related to that thing.

The day after you were born, I went to your house to borrow something for an excuse. Your grandfather and I still have a good relationship.

The first time I saw you, I discovered that your boy was born with yin and yang eyes and a yin body, which is what evil spirits and magicians need most.

For ghosts and evil spirits, your soul is a great tonic for them to enhance their strength.

For warlocks, your soul can help them refine various things they want.

There may not be even one Yin body among a billion people.

I was worried that you would be targeted by those dirty things, so I secretly set up a barrier around your house."

Speaking of this, the master sighed: "But what I didn't expect was that the night you were born, that black thing fell into your house. Not only did I see it, but also other people saw it."

"Who?" I asked anxiously.

The master smiled bitterly and said: "Listen to me first. On the night of your fifth birthday, I was drawing talisman at home, but suddenly I heard a strange noise coming from outside.

When I came to the yard, I saw a big black snake as big as a bucket appeared in the yard. This black snake could speak human language and was a serious snake spirit.

Unfortunately, it is of low moral character and cannot transform into a human form. When it saw me coming out, it opened its mouth and tried to bite me.

I fought with it for a while, but it was no match for me and swam out of the yard to escape.

I was already on top at that time, and I thought about killing it and grabbing its demon elixir. Naturally, I wouldn't let it escape, so I chased after it.

I chased it out of the village and reached the back mountain. It stopped and started fighting with me again. I took advantage of it not paying attention and hit the Nine Turns and Five Thunder Talisman.

Five bolts of lightning struck down, hitting its body and breaking it into two pieces. But it was lucky, its upper body escaped and its lower body stayed in place.

Judging from your expression, don’t you believe it at all? Go to my study, open the third drawer under the desk, and take out the black cloth bag inside."

Of course I don't believe it.

Master said before that I believe there are ghosts in this world because I have seen them.

But when it comes to demons, I don’t believe that much.

A big snake as thick as a bucket, what a terrifying existence is this?

With one sweep of its tail, a wall can be knocked down. Can Master be its opponent?

When I came to the study, I found a black cloth bag under the third drawer.

The cloth bag is heavy and has a lot of weight.

I brought the cloth bag to Master.

The master took the cloth bag, opened it, and pulled out a square thing from inside.

That thing is dark, and looking at the patterns and scales on it, my scalp feels numb.

Not to mention, it’s really snakeskin.

The master spread out the folded snake skin and placed it on the living room floor.

I opened my mouth wide and was dumbfounded.

This snake skin actually looks thicker than a bucket.

It seems that when Master just described it, he was still a little reserved.

The master was a little bit annoyed: "What? Have you believed these?"

I got goosebumps all over my body: "Such a big snake, if it only attacks you physically, you will be doomed."

"Grandma, why do you always think that I am not good enough? I am the strongest ghost hunter in Jiangnan! I have many tricks. What can a snake spirit that cannot turn into human form do to me?" the master cursed.

I laughed awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Master, but I've never seen a demon before, so I always thought there were no demons in the world."
