Chapter 73 Chapter 5 Birthday Bazi

You were only one or two years old at that time, and children don’t remember things until they are five years old, so you don’t remember them now.That time when I took you to grandpa's house, grandpa saw you looking weak and asked what's wrong.But you didn't answer him, just sat alone, not lively at all. Grandpa looked at your eyes and hair, pinched your fingers again, and told me that the child probably left home.But don't worry, the soul has just passed away, and there is still time to save it. So grandpa wrote down your birthday on the red paper, what year, month, day and time, cut off your fingernails, toenails and the hair on the top of your head, and wrapped them in red paper.

At that time, there was no brick factory in our village.Your grandfather said, leave it to me.He took a cigarette and went to the blacksmith shop in Huamei Village, pretending to light a fire, and threw the red paper bag into their iron-burning stove. As soon as your grandpa came back, your complexion will be much better. During dinner that day, the master blacksmith came to your door and asked what your grandfather did during the day. Your grandfather asked the blacksmith what happened. The blacksmith said angrily, "I have been blacksmithing for six years, and I am quite old and proficient. I haven't encountered such a strange thing. I haven't struck a single piece of iron all day today."

I interrupted my mother when she was talking about the "birthday horoscope" and asked, "What is the birth date horoscope?" To be honest, I have heard people mention the "birthday horoscope" more than a hundred times before, and I always thought that the birth date horoscope is The date of birth is as simple as that.Because our fortune-telling is also called "calculating eight characters". In fact, it is similar to what I thought, but if you just write a certain day in a certain year and a certain month, it will be bad, even if the nails and hair are burned, it will not work.

Not only our place, but the whole of China has another way of calculating the calendar besides the international calendar-the lunar calendar, also known as the lunar calendar.The difference between the two calculation calendars is obvious from the name alone. What should be written on the red paper is the lunar calendar, and the year, month, and day of the lunar calendar are different from those of the solar calendar.However, many modern young people know the lunar calendar but don't know the lunar calendar.I didn't know it before, but since I learned alchemy from my grandfather, I also need to learn some ancient Chinese culture.

Assuming that I was born between 5:00 and 7:00 on November 24, 1985 in the lunar calendar, I would write the eight characters "Yichou Winter Moon Twenty-four Maoshi" on the red paper.Instead of the eight words "8511245 points" I imagined earlier.For example, if you are born in December, write "the twelfth lunar month", and if you are born in January, write "the first month". (For other dates, I will explain clearly to everyone in the work related, so that everyone can know my birth date.) After listening to my mother's story, I realized that this was the reason why my grandfather said that the blacksmith should not find out.

But I still don't believe that those nails and hair have such a strange power that a skilled blacksmith can't strike iron.In the next few days, I hunted the Kespo ghost with my grandfather, and I believed that it not only has such great power. In the following days, my grandfather and I waited for the news at home.Waiting for bad news like this is very uncomfortable, and always makes me feel like a badass who gloats. But there is no way, as grandpa said, "everyone is like this".If my grandfather and I had told Sanxiang that his son was in danger, they would have driven us out of the gate like crows with a broom.
