After taking a break at the clinic, you and your friends go home.

My parents said before going out this morning that they were going to help a big customer deliver goods in the county today, and they couldn't come back for dinner.Before going out, the two of them left dinner in the pot, and you helped your friend warm it up a little, and we ate together.

"What do you think about these things?" The elders are not here, just the two of you, you don't have to worry about eating and sleeping, and your friend will talk to you while eating.

"It's a mess..." You said, watching your friend take out a small notebook and a black fountain pen from the bag regardless of the greasy dinner table.

You take the pen, push the rice bowl aside, move it out of the place, write on the paper and say: "Look... the earliest time was 1940, when my grandfather was still very young, ten years old, just a child. He How to recognize the Yin God, this is still unknown...In short, the Yin God told him that our family has a short life span, and then he performed the ceremony of honoring the Yin God in the current Earth Temple and the River God Temple at that time."

The friend nodded, frowning tightly: "Actually, I think it's a bit strange..."

"What's weird?"

"If you ask the Yin God to borrow your life, the Yin God is going to ask for it, right?" She said, taking out another pen, "Just to understand it literally, in this process, people should take the initiative to ask the Yin God for help." Right? In other words, normally it should be like your grandfather, you have a disease first, and seeing the situation is critical, he will take the initiative to find Yinshen... right?"

You understand what she means: "And I learned from my grandfather's memory that my grandfather told him... It was the Yin God who said that our family lived a short life..."

"That is to say, with your grandfather, the order is reversed. He was fine at first, but it was Yinshen who took the initiative to tell him that he had a short life, and asked him to offer him a favor," circled your circle of friends with the letter you wrote on the paper. The word "please" draws a question mark again and again, "Isn't this abnormal? The person whose life was borrowed took the initiative to ask others to borrow his life? Do you think you have too few creditors? Is this still a request?"

You are thoughtful: "You are right...Although we still don't know the ceremony of worshiping the gods between my grandpa and grandpa, my grandpa told grandma Qian that he would say something like Xiangong closing his eyes. Xiangong Close your eyes, according to the customs of our family, if you want an old man to close your eyes, you have to take the heart out of the coffin from a filial son and a filial daughter. This sounds strange, and my grandpa also said he thought it was strange."

"And in your dream, Grandma Qian said, generally speaking, Yin Gods don't make trouble at home, but your grandfather has been respectful and respectful all his life, and in the end..." The friend didn't finish.

"Not only that, but my grandpa was not normal in the last few years. He went completely crazy after fifty... My parents told me before that my grandpa's funeral was all arranged by my grandpa. Maybe my grandpa found out about my grandpa. So I don’t want my dad to know about it.” You had an idea, “But when my grandpa passed away, it was my parents who arranged it. I don’t know if there was any abnormality in grandpa.”

"You can ask later," your friend patted your head, "Okay, little beauty, let's continue."

"Warning you, don't shout indiscriminately." You almost blushed.

"Okay, okay, listen to you," she smiled. You think she might be enlivening the atmosphere. When you were not familiar with her before, you thought she was very cold. In fact, she is really nice, and you really like her... It's annoying, now is not the time to think about this.You force yourself to listen to your friend continue to sort out, "Next, in 1950, your grandfather was born, and your grandfather entrusted him with the Yin God as soon as he was born, and told him about the Yin God, and warned him not to tell him about these things. Tell it... Then, in 1975, when your father was born, your grandfather had doubts about these things, so I asked Grandma Qian to count your father's birthday, and then gave up and continued to ask the Yin God."

"My grandpa then started dreaming about Yinshen, and was frightened," you continued following your friend's previous logic, "It's really strange, why is he still catching up, Yinshen is so angry, it's almost like..."

You pause for a moment: "...like he could profit from it."

The friend nodded and bit the tip of his pen: "Next, in 1990, when your grandfather passed away, Grandma Qian came to help your grandfather with the funeral. After the funeral, your mother said that your grandfather burned a lot of things left by your grandfather. Clean, in the same year when Grandma Qian passed away, Goddess Zhao said that she left in a hurry, except for a ledger, everything else was brought into the ground and buried together."

"Grandma Qian's death, I always feel that it must be related to my grandfather. She once said that she had a way to send away Yinshen, and my grandfather was obviously willing to try. Maybe she failed in the end," you said, "Then the end is In 2000, the millennium, I was born, and my grandfather..."

"Wait." Your friend interrupted you.

"What's wrong?" you asked.

"No," said my friend, "Grass, this is the most unreasonable place."

You looked at the messy notes in the notebook, probably only the two of you could understand the notes, and you were a little confused at first, but soon you suddenly realized.

"Yes," you are a little puzzled, "you are right. In 1990, my grandfather realized that there might be something wrong with the Yin God, and even Grandma Qian died. His disgust for the Yin God ritual almost made him burn his father and me In this case, in 2000, why did he ask the Yin God again? If he really knew that this ritual was wrong, he would not use it. This is contradictory—ah, no, there are also It may be that Mrs. Qian's failure to deliver God to death made him realize the terrifying power of the Yin God, so he felt that the Yin God didn't need to deceive himself..."

The friend nodded and shook his head again: "You're right, but that's not what I thought of...I was wondering why grandma Qian failed to send God away..."

"Because the Yin God is too powerful?"

"Retell it again, what Grandma Qian said in your dream at the end, okay?"

You repeat word by word: "If you borrow your life from the Yin God, I also have a way to stop borrowing your life..."

You suddenly realized that the terrifying thought pierced your mind like a bolt of lightning.

"Grass." You said.

Friend said, "You get it, right?"

"If you borrowed your life from the Yin God..." you said slowly, "Could it be that the reason for the failure of sending the god to the god is that this ceremony was not a life borrowing at all from the beginning?"

You are silent for a while.

If that's the case, then this ritual...what is the effect?

"Actually, we can ask Grandma Qian, right?" said the friend.

"You mean summoning spirits?" You shook your head, "Even if Goddess Zhao can summon spirits again, a person can only summon spirits once in a period of time, and I'm almost half disabled now."

"Yeah," said the friend earnestly, "but there are two of us, right?"

You froze.

The friend stared at you brightly: "I want to call the spirit again."
