Twenty years ago, Ma Youzhai was a monk; ten years ago, Ma Youzhai was a Taoist priest.
He followed Big Thumb's circus for ten years and performed witchcraft. He used his fingers to light lanterns and recited incantations to make eggs float in the air, deceiving many audiences. Finger lighting is actually very simple. It is made with 50 grams of potassium chlorate and 50 grams of sulfur.
The powder is mixed together and sticks to the finger. When the lamp is blown out, the smoking wick still has a little spark. If you touch it with your finger, the lamp will light up again. There is a magician in western Hunan who draws a lamp on the wall.
, it lights up with a match. This is because he drilled a hole as big as a mung bean in the wall in advance, and put a piece of camphor in the hole. When playing with magic, he used a match to light up the lamp painted on the wall.
Making eggs float in the air is a trick everyone can do.
Open a small hole in the egg, pour out the egg white and yolk, inject dew with a needle, cover the small hole with grease paste, and the egg will slowly rise under the sun. The trouble with this trick is the collection of dew. In summer,
Ma Youzhai would often run to the fields before dawn. He would hold a can and shake the bushes and grass leaves to collect dew, and at the same time he would get wet from the dew.
After the circus disbanded, he returned to the village. There was a witch in the village who was a great dancer. Every time he walked past the door of the witch's house, he would curse: You stinky old women are so poor that they are fooling the devil. He also ordered his
Three children spat at her. No one dared to mess with the witch in the village. The villagers were in awe of those who approached the gods.
One day, the sun was shining brightly, and the witch was leaning against the doorframe, eating melon seeds. Ma Youzhai walked past her and asked, "Why, you didn't go out to play the zither?"
The witch rolled her eyes, curled her lips, tilted her head to one side, and continued to eat melon seeds.
Ma Youzhai stopped and cursed: "Basket (dialect, swear word, meaning genitals)."
The witch sneered and tilted her head to the other side.
Ma Youzhai was so angry that he pushed the witch into the yard, closed the door and raped her.
From then on, the two singles lived together, with a little fire burning in their hearts. The witch had been a widow for many years, and Ma Youzhai had a strong sexual desire, which prompted them to form a temporary family. The witch had two children, and Ma Youzhai
Youzhai had three children, and five children also became a huge pressure in life. Ma Youzhai had to pick up the hoe again and work in the fields. In his spare time, he worked with witches to ward off demons and exorcise evil spirits.
The reason he dressed up as a Taoist priest was because his hair had grown longer.
Ma Youzhai and his wife, who is called the Fairy Goddess, are often invited to perform the Great God Dance. The Fairy Goddess wears a mask, a sacred hat with colorful tassels hanging down, a shaman suit, a bell tied around her waist, and a drum held in her left hand.
The right hand holds the drum whip. Ma Youzhai plays the gongs and drums, and the fairy dances and sings:
Hey... I picked up Wenwang Drum with my left hand,
Round and round, hey,
Swish, loud and clear.
Eight strings, tied on four sides,
Money is hung on the sheep string.
Helanglang.
In my right hand I picked up the East China Sea, the South Mountain South,
The whip that drives the sea and the mountains is hei.
Not too long, not too short, one foot three.
red rope wrap,
Green belt wrapped around,
Colorful streamers float down,
Helanglang.
The passing gods pause for a moment,
Swish.
I will pick you up at ten miles away and welcome you at eight miles away.
Wuli grabs the reins of your horse.
look hi,
The main door is decorated with colors, and the small door is decorated with red.
A felt was laid on the floor to the main room.
Wow, swish.
If you live in a temple, keep the temple door open.
If you don’t live in a temple, come home!
My home is in the west of Duotanggulou,
When the fairy dismounts and registers for the number,
Swish swish swish.
The gourd blossoms are all white,
Which great immortal came down to earth?
Most of the time, she invites Zhong Kui, and sometimes she invites Guanyin Bodhisattva, mainly based on the master's needs. If the master is ill in bed, then the longevity star Antarctic Immortal or the Judge of Hell should descend to earth. The Jade Emperor usually does not come.
, unless the owner is very rich. Once, she got hungry while dancing, so she invited the Fire Tiger God, and she became a tiger, jumping, grabbing, and eating up all the tributes.
After the dance, Ma Youzhai not only collects money from the host, but also sells a pack of incense ash as a panacea to the onlookers.
Ma Youzhai thought this was a way to make money, so he whittled a mahogany sword, dressed up as a Taoist priest, and drew talismans to catch ghosts. He could make eggs float and light lamps with his fingers, which made him more famous than just jumping.
The wife of a great god has become a famous semi-immortal. Only those who are willing to spend a lot of money can hire her. Once, an old man from other provinces came here because of her fame. When he entered, he took out 2,000 yuan and said that his son was possessed by an evil spirit.
, if Banxian can help, he will give another 3,000 yuan after the matter is completed.
The old man told a strange thing.
The old man called himself Li and contracted a fish pond in the town. A few days ago, his son went to swim in the fish pond. When he came back, he was possessed by an evil spirit. His eyes were dull and his speech was dull, as if he was a different person. What's more serious is that
My son became afraid of water and didn't even dare to wash his hands and face. He went to several hospitals, but the doctors couldn't do anything.
After listening to this, Ma Youzhai nodded and said, "This is a water ghost possessing me."
Old Man Li asked: "Can you drive me away?"
Ma Youzhai said: "We can't drive them away unless we catch them."
Old Man Li asked: "What should we do after we catch this ghost?"
Ma Youzhai said: "Fried!"
The next day, a frying pan was set up in the yard of Old Man Li's house. Many people in the town came to watch, and the children climbed up the tree. Ma Youzhai held a peach wood sword and wore a green robe.
Embroidered with the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram, with fluttering beard and hair, he looks like an immortal.
Ma Youzhai looked at the oil pan and asked Old Man Li to prepare more firewood. After a while, the oil pan started boiling. Ma Youzhai put his hand into the hot oil pan, and the audience in the yard let out an exclamation,
Ma Youzhai said as if nothing had happened, "Burn it again and the fire will become stronger."
In fact, the oil in the pot was not boiling. Ma Youzhai quietly added chemicals such as borax into the pot. Due to the chemical reaction, gas would be produced and the bubbles would swell above the oil surface, causing the oil to boil and roll.
Phenomenon, and the temperature of the oil is not high at this time and will not cause harm to people.
Ma Youzhai asked Old Man Li's son to lie down on a mat, then placed a piece of talisman paper on Old Man Li's son's chest and asked him to close his eyes and not open them. Ma Youzhai cleaned his hands and burned incense, and began to practice the method. The audience was quiet.
When I came down, I saw him mumbling words and walking around Old Man Li's son. Suddenly, Ma Youzhai shouted loudly and slapped his hand hard, and a blood-red fingerprint suddenly appeared on the paper. He stuck the talisman paper on the peach wood
On the sword, he shouted: "Caught!"
Ma Youzhai pinched the sword formula with his left hand and held the sword in his right hand. He quickly pressed the talisman paper at the end of the sword on the incense table. Then he stood the sword in front of his chest and stared at the talisman paper intently. At this time, he began to pant, as if he had caught something.
Ghosts are a very tiring thing. After a while, the onlookers saw smoke coming out of the talisman paper at the end of the sword, and it actually burned. Ma Youzhai took out a handful of glutinous rice from his arms and threw it on the incense table. The glutinous rice also
It's on fire.
Finally, Ma Youzhai put the burning talisman into the oil pan to complete the entire ghost hunting process.
A bloody fingerprint was made on the paper. This is mainly due to the action of a chemical reagent called phenolphthalein. When phenolphthalein meets an alkali, it will turn red. Ma Youzhai took advantage of this simple chemical reaction. He sprayed phenolphthalein on the talisman paper in advance.
, let it dry, and it still looks like a good piece of paper. Then when doing the method, dip your hands in some alkaline water, pat it on the paper, and a red fingerprint will be there.
So, how can the talisman paper spontaneously ignite? In fact, it is very simple. Ma Youzhai sprinkled some light yellow powder on the incense table in advance, which is sodium peroxide. Sodium peroxide will burn when it meets water and carbon dioxide. He patted the talisman paper on the incense table.
on the paper, dip it in sodium peroxide, and exhale pantingly against the talisman paper. The exhaled gas contains carbon dioxide and water. When it reaches the ignition point, the paper will burn. The glutinous rice has been stirred with sulfur powder in advance, and the sulfur comes into contact with the sodium peroxide.
Burning will occur.
A few days later, Old Man Li's son miraculously recovered and returned to his former lively and cheerful self. Ghost hunting was a great psychological comfort to him. He saw a corpse at the bottom of the fish pond and suffered from it.
Frightened. The corpse swelled into a giant, with wires wrapped around his waist, and stones tied to both ends of the wires. He didn’t know who the deceased was, or who killed him and threw him into the fish pond. He just
Late one night, the body was dragged up and a pit was quietly dug to bury it.
He didn't tell anyone about this.
In 1996, the witch died and Ma Youzhai's children grew up.
On April 5, 1997, Qingming Festival, three guests came to Ma Youzhai's house. They were Brother Thumb, Ding Busi, and Shan Ya.
Shan Ya: "How many years have we not seen each other?"
Ma Youzhai: "It's been seven years."
Brother Thumb: "I see that you haven't invested anything in this business."
Ma Youzhai: "Just mess around."
Ding Busi: "Are you still pretending to be a ghost now?"
Ma Youzhai: "No one believes this anymore."
Ding Busi: "My brother is gone."
Ma Youzhai: "Meng Ni, I sell dog meat at home."
Ding Busi: "I have to go see her."
Ma Youzhai: "Where is the three cents?"
Brother Thumb: "In Huacheng."
Shan Ya: "He's a beggar, he's doing pretty well, and all the beggars there listen to him."
Ma Youzhai: "I can't help you. When I see your legs, I feel uncomfortable."
Shan Ya: "It won't be in the way, and it won't delay me from walking around with my small cigarette pack."
Ma Youzhai: "Are you still playing monkey?"
Shan Ya: "Now I am making a fortune with Brother Thumb."
Brother Thumb: "I got some white flour from my hometown."
Ding Busi: "This is a way to make money. You can make money."
Brother Thumb: "I can't ignore you. I want to call you now. I still have three pennies. Let's do it together."
Ma Youzhai: "Drug trafficking, right?"
Brother Thumb: “In my hometown, in Yunnan, many people do this.”
Ma Youzhai: "I have no capital."
Brother Thumb: "You don't need to take the money, I owe you."
Ma Youzhai: "Okay, I and my three sons will follow you to make a fortune."
When Ma Youzhai moved out of the small village, it started to snow lightly.
In fact, they didn't move anything, everything was kept exactly where it was yesterday, snowflakes were falling, and the pickle vat in the yard was as old as a new jar.
Before 1993, there were only a few small drug dealers in the Northeast. They bought drugs from the south and resold them. Starting in 1997, Ma Youzhai monopolized the drug market in the three provinces of Northeast China. Drug trafficking brought huge profits. Ma Youzhai was in the city.
I bought a real estate here, covering an area of ten acres, with pavilions and pavilions, which are extremely luxurious.
Twenty years ago, Ma Youzhai was a monk. After the circus disbanded, he started cheating on the streets.
Poplar catkins on the street were fluttering in the wind. Ma Youzhai, wearing a green monk's robe and yellow cloth shoes, knocked on other people's doors. After opening those wooden doors, iron doors, black doors, and red doors, he read
Calling Amitabha, he took out the book of public virtue and asked the owner to write down his name and place of origin, and then said that a certain temple was going to be built, so please donate some money. He put his hands together, leaving such an old and simple gesture, and left with the money. At that time,
There were still many good men and women, but then, when people saw a monk knocking on the door or a stranger knocking on the door, they would not open the door casually.
Ma Youzhai had a kind face and kind eyes when he was "begging for alms", but in fact, he was a grumpy person.
He once used a soft whip to remove all the leaves from a small tree in Henan. In his dream twenty years later, the small tree sprouted and bloomed again. When he was in a happy mood, he would also give it to his three sons.
In front of me, he played with a Zen staff to great effect. Twenty years later, the rusty Zen staff was leaning against the window, with a full moon hanging on it.
The reason why this monk pretended to be a Taoist priest has already been mentioned - his hair grew out.
During those days when he was pretending to be a ghost, all he could recall was this scene: he was sitting on a stone under a walnut tree, hitting walnuts with stones.
Drug trafficking made Ma Youzhai rich overnight, and he almost forgot about the past.
He had a very painful tooth, and the dentist said: "Mr. Ma, please pull it out." He said: "If you don't want to pull it out, get out." He was a person who could not bear the pain. He held up the hammer and looked for someone in the room who could pull it out.
After the nail was driven in, he tied a rope to the nail and tied the other end to his tooth. He stood on the chair and jumped hard. From then on, he no longer felt toothache.
Now, the decayed tooth is tied to a rope, swinging gently. He has a gold tooth, a heavy gold necklace hanging around his neck, a gold watch on his wrist, and three gold rings on his fingers. He is covered in gold.
Up and down, sparkling.
Later, Ma Youzhai suffered from a lumbar disc herniation. This shining man could only feel more comfortable when he was kneeling. If he was lying down, he would roll all over the bed in pain and have trouble sleeping all night. It suddenly occurred to him that this posture might mean something.
From that moment on, he vaguely felt that he was guilty.
The first doctor gave him acupuncture and massage, but it didn't work. The second doctor gave him local hot compresses and topical "Voltaren gel" and other analgesic plasters, but they didn't work. The third doctor suggested he have surgery, but he refused.
I had to use 250 ml of 25% mannitol plus 10 mg of dexamethasone for intravenous infusion.
During the infusion, he also knelt.
Ma Youzhai was in unbearable pain, so he said to his eldest son: "Go and get a bag of white powder."
The drug trafficker naturally knows how to take drugs. He puts the white powder on the paper and forms a line. He holds the paper with one hand, blocks one nostril with the other hand, and inhales through the other nostril. He just shakes his head and releases the white powder.
He inhaled it. The pleasure brought by taking drugs suppressed the pain. A few days later, the lumbar disc herniation miraculously healed. However, the pleasure of taking drugs was not as strong as before, so Ma Youzhai began to inject drugs. He
He tied his arm with an elastic band, just like a nurse would do when giving an intravenous needle. He picked up the syringe, pointed the needle upward, inserted it into the blood vessel in the crook of his arm, and pushed the drug in. After a while, he drew the drug back into the syringe.
, mixed with blood, go back and forth several times, flush the syringe, so that all the drugs are injected. When you reach the stage of injecting drugs, you are already deeply addicted to drugs, and it is difficult to quit. If you have been addicted to drugs for several years
People who can no longer find blood vessels for injection. At this time, they will use a method called "blood injection". This is to make a hole in the thigh and insert an infusion tube. After the infusion tube is inserted,
I stopped pulling it out and kept it inserted in my thigh. When drug addiction sets in, I use a needle to inject the drug into my body through the infusion tube.
Ma Youzhai's arms were covered with needle holes, and he could only inject in his crotch. He had to take off his pants several times a day. Finally, his three sons knelt in front of him and begged him to stop taking drugs.
The eldest son said: "Dad, do you want to die?"
Ma Youzhai said: "No more."
The eldest son took the needle.
Ma Youzhai knelt down in front of his son and begged, "Give it to me."
The three sons had no choice but to force him to detoxify. They locked Ma Youzhai in a house in the backyard and sent an old man to serve him. When the drug addiction broke out, the old man tied up his hands and feet and stuffed a towel in his mouth.
It is to prevent him from biting his own tongue in pain. When Luo Fawei from Yunnan was addicted to drugs, he sucked his father's ashes into his stomach; Wang Juan from Gansu ran naked and then plunged into the cesspool when he was addicted to drugs; Chen Jinyuan from Sichuan had convulsions in his limbs and howled like a ghost when he was addicted to drugs.
A kindergarten in Guangdong was relocated because of this; when Guangdong Cao Xiaojun suffered from drug addiction, he swallowed bottle caps, lighters, and two of his fingers.
Ma Youzhai lost weight rapidly, from a strong middle-aged man to a skinny old man with dull eyes, tears, and incontinence. Because of his low immunity, his hair began to fall out. After a high fever
, and also lost sight in both eyes.
Drug abuse can destroy a person's normal physiological and immune functions. A mosquito bite may cause a pustule to form on a drug addict. A labor camp policeman once said an extreme example. Once, a drug addicted labor camp inmate was squatting and hoeing.
An hour later, when I stood up, all the blood vessels in my feet burst, and blood spurted out like a high-pressure water gun. No one dared to get close because they were afraid of AIDS. After the blood stopped spraying, I was taken to the hospital for rescue.
Ma Youzhai became blind, and sleeping was like a coma for him. Sometimes he lay on the bed and slept with his eyes open. Whether he opened or closed his eyes, all he saw was darkness. During drug treatment
With his cooperation, Ma Youzhai slowly gave up drugs.
After quitting drugs, the first thing he did when he got up every day was to light a cigarette. After a while, he lit two cigarettes at a time. If you see a person smoking two cigarettes with two cigarettes between his fingers, that’s Ma.
You Zhai. He smokes six packs of cigarettes every day. Because of his sleep disorder, you can only see him at night. Every time you see him, he has two cigarettes in his hand.
In addition to smoking, he also has a hobby: carving words on stones.
When one world closes its door to him, the door of another world opens.
He was in a state of deep thought all day long. One day, he asked his son to buy several stone tablets as well as hammers, chisels and other masonry tools.
The son asked: "What do you want to engrave?"
Ma Youzhai replied: "Diamond Sutra."
The son said: "You can't see, could you have carved it wrong?"
Ma Youzhai said: "How could the words be engraved wrong in my heart?"
In the dark room in the backyard, there were clanking sounds and stone chips flying. At first, he just found something to do for himself. For a blind man, doing this was not to get rid of loneliness, on the contrary, it was to stay
Lonely. He erected the carved stone tablet in the yard. As time went by, the backyard became a forest of tablets and a cemetery without graves or dead people.
There was also a pond in the backyard. There were carp, grass carp, silver carp, loach, frogs, snakes, and duck eggs that fell to the bottom of the water. One morning, Ma Youzhai opened the window, and he suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance.
He asked the old man delivering the food: "What's so fragrant outside?"
The old man delivering the meal replied: "Lotus, the lotus in the pond is blooming."
Ma Youzhai said to himself: "I know."
From then on, he put on his old cassock, knocked wooden fish in his room, chanted sutras, chanted Buddha's name, and meditated every day. Before, he was a fake monk; now, he has become a real monk. His three sons asked him why he did this.
He replied: "Atonement, for you three."
The three sons usually made friends with many dignitaries, and also wooed and corrupted some officials, acting as a protective umbrella for them. A section chief of the procuratorate, after getting drunk, ran to the backyard and asked Ma Youzhai: "Old man, I would like to
Ask, what is Buddha?"
Ma Youzhai asked him: "What time is it now?"
He was drunk, looked at his watch, and said, "11 o'clock in the evening."
Ma Youzhai asked: "Everyone is asleep now, right?"
He burped and said, "That's about it. It's almost midnight."
Ma Youzhai said: "Have you brought the key?"
He said: "Take it, look." He took off a bunch of keys from his waist and dangled them in his hand.
Ma Youzhai took the key and threw it into the pond outside the window.
"What are you doing? What do you mean?"
"Didn't you ask what a Buddha is?"
"Yeah, why did you throw my key away?"
"Right at your home."
"I do not understand."
"When you go home now, the person who opens the door for you is Buddha."
