Chapter Twenty-Five: Causing Trouble
The old ghost woman made her own request, and my heart was shocked, and I looked at the smugness on the other party's wrinkled face, and the fear in my heart gradually disappeared.
The three sticks of incense were still burned, and I said, "I have heard the old woman's request." How about listening to my conditions?"
"Hmm, do you want to negotiate terms with me?" the old ghost woman's eyes showed a fierce look, and the appearance was extremely terrifying, even if she didn't do anything, it would make people lose her courage.
I immediately called 'Brother Aqing'!" Chen Muqing waited anxiously on the side, and when she saw me shouting, she immediately stepped over, tearing off the yellow cloth on the outside of the wooden sword, revealing a black wooden sword.
The old ghost woman didn't take Chen Muqing in her eyes, but when she saw the wooden sword, the fierce light in her eyes couldn't help but restrain a little, revealing a little fear.
Seeing this, I felt a little certain in my heart, and said: "My conditions are also very simple, as long as you are not allowed to hurt Liu Xue and her friends and relatives from now on. Otherwise, this wooden sword hangs over the grave, and it will be difficult for you to turn over. ”
The old ghost woman's eyes showed a fierce light, and she looked at Chen Muqing twice, and her blood-red eyes suddenly left two lines of bloody tears. Suddenly, there was a foul smell in the air around him, like the smell of pork that had been rotting for a long time.
"Little Taoist, do you want to scare me?" the old ghost woman showed a hideous ghost elephant, and the nails of her hands became black and long, and she was about to grab at me.
Seeing this scene, I subconsciously put my tongue to the tip of my tongue again, but I was still calm on the surface: "It's not to scare you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Muqing immediately took a step forward and waved a wooden sword to block between me and the old ghost woman. The old ghost woman didn't know that Chen Muqing could see her, and she couldn't react for a while, the wooden sword slashed too fast, and directly shaved off a lot of the old ghost woman's gray hair.
Bang, like a firecracker bursting.
The three incense sticks that were almost extinguished returned to normal at once, and in the blink of an eye, all three incense sticks burned out, leaving only the bare ends.
I hurriedly opened my eyes and looked at Chen Muqing, and found that Chen Muqing's hand was holding the hilt of the sword, and cold sweat was flowing nervously on her cheeks.
"See the old ghost?" I asked.
Chen Muqing pointed to the low grave: "It turned into a cloud of black smoke and went back." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the three burnt incense sticks, and when they were gone, the ghost agreed to my terms. Despite the coercion element, the goal was achieved.
There were a few pieces of paper money scattered on the ground, and I don't know where they came from, and they exuded a hint of ominous black gas in a trance.
I muttered a few more words in front of the grave, and then asked Chen Muqing to retreat with a wooden sword, and burned all the three catties of paper money in front of the grave.
It is strange to say, there was a breeze that day, but the burned paper money was stunned and did not move at all, until all the three catties of paper money were burned into ashes, and then a strange yin wind rolled up, rolling up the paper ash for seven or eight meters.
"Is this all right?" Chen Muqing asked, I stood up, rubbed my sore leg and said, "I'm not sure... However, if she doesn't want to break the agreement, she shouldn't attack Ah Xue and them again. But ......"
As soon as I turned to the deserted house halfway up the mountain.
The tricky one is over there.
Although the old ghost woman has done it here, if the old ghost woman is not lying. The soul of Ah Xue who was taken away by her had to find a way to recruit it from the deserted house.
This is easy to say, but difficult to do. Not to mention that grandpa told me not to go near the deserted house, and I won't talk about the conjuring of spirits!
Strictly speaking, I didn't worship the Taoism handed down by my great-uncle. Although my grandfather didn't mind me reading "Dragon and Tiger Magic", he only taught me a little bit of skin, and I had a little dabbling in mental skills, and I didn't even think about spells.
To put it simply, it means that you have more than enough self-preservation, and you want to see things, and you can talk about your ability.
But it's come to this point, and I don't want to give up halfway. In fact, part of my personality inherited from my grandfather, and it was very difficult, but I was more cautious than him.
The soldiers were divided into two ways, I asked Chen Muqing to go home to comfort his aunt, and I ran home to read the "Dragon and Tiger Records". And to my great surprise, when I walked in the door, my grandfather had already returned!
Grandpa is over 70 years old this year, but his body is still very strong, his back is straight, and half of his hair is black, neatly combed.
When I came back, my grandfather first called my name with a smile, then his nose wrinkled, his face changed, and he suddenly asked me where I had gone.
Grandpa is usually kind, but when he gets serious, his eyes are quite sharp, and I was suddenly a little weak when I was seen by him. 1510 told Ah Xue about being rushed and negotiating with the ghost through incense.
My grandfather is a serious successor to Uncle Zeng's Taoism, the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master, and he also understands the ritual of conjuring spirits, and if my grandfather is willing to make a move, I don't have to take risks and enter the deserted building.
Grandpa listened in silence and didn't interrupt my narration. And when I thought that my grandfather would go to summon Liu Xue's soul, my grandfather sighed and said, "You rabbit cub, you know how to brag, and you really have the strength of Lao Tzu back then." If you have this ability, I'll see how you end up. ”
I was stunned, the lightness on my face was gone, and I asked, "Grandpa, can't you summon a soul for Ah Xue?"
Grandpa shook his head and corrected: "It's not that I can't, but you are now stained with this cause and effect." You have to take care of this matter to the end, otherwise there will be surplus seedlings, and you will end up in trouble. ”
Grandma stopped doing it when she heard this, and said, "How dangerous is that deserted building, a few years ago, Lao Chengtou and his son were just chopping wood and passing by, and the next day they were hanged inside! Do you dare to let your own grandson go to that kind of place?"
Grandpa ignored grandma's straight eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and complained to me a few more words before he began to say a solution.
I also knew that this was making the old man angry, so I didn't refute it, so I listened obediently, and when my grandfather talked about dealing with Liu Xue, he immediately became attentive.
Grandpa thought of a way to summon spirits, this is the best way to summon Liu Xue's ghost spirit back without going into the deserted house. But I have to be the one who does it, not my grandfather.
For this is cause and effect, and the cause arises in me, and the effect is reaped by me.
Grandpa asked me to inform Chen Muqing's aunt, and when I asked Liu Xue's nearest playmate, I found out that in addition to Liu Xue, who was in a vegetative state, two other playmates had a fever and had already been sent to the hospital.
I asked Chen Muqing's aunt to pick out Liu Xue's underwear and bring it with me as my grandfather said, and then knocked on the doors of the other two families, and asked them to bring a piece of the fever girl's clothes to my house.
When I got home, my grandfather had already set up the altar in the courtyard. Red candles, incense burners, yellow paper, red pens, these things are all available.
Grandpa held his breath, picked up the red pen and wrote down three talismans on the yellow paper. I didn't change my breath until the last stroke fell.
That's not the end of it, because the talisman isn't something that can be used after drawing. Casual drawings on TV are for film and television effects, and the real talismans are to be stamped.
This seal represents a kind of 'orthodoxy' and 'recognition', which is usually in the same vein.
The talisman of the Heavenly Master Dao does not think that the talisman itself has any special functions, but that the special functions are a series of enshrined gods and ancestors.
These charms act like 'announcements', and seals are like 'signatures' that tell the gods and the ancestors who they are, for what purpose, and what they want to do, and then ask the deity to be enshrined for their help.
In this way, the talisman has become powerful.
The unstamped charm is a piece of white paper, not a seal of this vein, but also a piece of waste paper, after all, you can't take a blank check to the bank to ask someone to redeem money.
Grandpa's seal has three pieces, one of which is his own, and he basically carries it with him. The other two pieces were handed down from Uncle Zeng, but they were basically unused.
I saw my grandfather put down the pen, lifted the hem of his clothes, took off a purse from his belt, and poured out a private seal. Then he dipped in cinnabar, bowed to the altar three times, and finally stamped the seal on the yellow charm with a solemn expression.
After doing all this, a yin wind blew in the courtyard. I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Grandpa raised his head and spoke, his voice was like a bell: "Today, Liu Xue, Chen Xiaojun, and Lu Juan of Taiqing Village will summon spirits, and the idle wild ghosts will go quickly!"
With that, Grandpa grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it into the air. Suddenly, the yin wind swirled, rolling up the paper money seventeen or eighteen meters high.
It was the first time I saw my grandfather move, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement, more curious than scared, and had the urge to find out.
Grandpa stood behind the altar with a solemn expression, and looked at me twice, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.
At this time, Chen Muqing came with his aunt and the mother of two other girls, each holding a piece of clothing in their hands.
"Little pillar, come here. Grandpa's tone was very serious, and I walked over in response, and when I came to the stage, I found that there were two more seals on the altar today.
The two seals that are usually not used at all, grandpa actually invited them out today?
I looked at my grandfather in surprise, and suddenly I noticed that a drop of blood was dripping from an unknown place on the altar, and it fell on the altar with a snap.
My pupils dilated, and I subconsciously wanted to look up. But my grandfather stopped me with his eyes, and said slowly but forcefully: "Xiaozhu, since you are interested in this method, from today onwards, you will officially enter the master's door." ”
I listened to my grandfather's words, looked at the two seals, and saw that the blood on the table had begun to drip down the corners of the table in just a few minutes.
A foul stench hovering overhead. It seemed close, but I couldn't look up.
A sensation swept over my body like never before, and I felt cold sweat on my back for the first time, and for the first time I felt confused and clueless.
There was more and more blood in the blood, and the stench was getting stronger and stronger, and my grandfather looked at me as if he couldn't see or smell.
“... Be. "I closed my eyes and forced myself to be calm, and only by being calm could I analyze what I was facing.
Then, at my grandfather's request, I knelt down and bowed three times to the altar.
This made everyone dumbfounded, and no one knew what the hell we were up to. Only Chen Muqing looked at the top of the altar with a pale face, and her body was shaking.
