Chapter 64: People Change
"I think we'd better go, I think the old Taoist is terrible. ”
The virtual ghost was a little flustered, and suggested in a low voice that Su Chen ignored him, if his face did not change strangely, and the earth crown was already in his hand, he would choose to leave.
What is the truth?
Does it matter if the old Taoist is dead or not?
Will the four-eyed golden god be resurrected to plague the world?
When the sky fell, there was a tall man on top of him, and he didn't even save his life now, let alone be a savior.
But now, there is obviously a problem with himself, if he leaves like this, will he have to hide for the rest of his life, stay in the deep mountains and old forests, and really live the life of a zombie who drinks blood?
Not to mention that I can't stand it, I'm afraid my family can't accept it, not to mention, who knows if my body will continue to change, in case I also become a four-eyed weirdo who has lost his mind?
"Go back to the jade box, and as for the two of you, let's get out of here first. ”
In the first half of the sentence, Su Chen said to the virtual ghost, although the virtual ghost was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Su Chen's words, because his strength was not as good as that of a little girl, and Su Chen had a way to clean him up.
As for the guinea pig, after hearing this, he turned around and ran away without saying a word, and before leaving, he also snuggled at the little girl, meaning that the little girl should also hurry up.
"Big brother, then I'll go first. The little girl said a word to Su Chen timidly, and then left with the white mouse.
After the mouse and the little girl left, Su Chen put the jade box in his pocket and didn't turn on the light, just followed behind Chen Xin and his party.
"Grandpa, aren't we really going to leave now, wouldn't it be better to notify more people to come over and help?"
"It's too late, if you don't seal it quickly, the evil spirit will soon escape, and at that time it will cause the life to be ruined, so you can only seal it again while the evil spirit is still weak. This house was originally used to seal evil spirits, but now that the house has collapsed, it means that the seal is gone. ”
The old Taoist was supported by Lin Huai, facing Chen Xin's inquiry, he continued to answer while coughing: "If the evil spirit recovers, I am not his opponent, but he is very weak now, this is our only chance, but don't worry, if you really want to do something, I am dragging the evil spirit here, you can go out and inform the people outside first." ”
"Grandpa, what kind of existence are the evil spirits you are talking about?"
When the old Taoist heard Chen Xin's words, the expression on his face was a little complicated, and he said after half a sound: "This evil spirit is called the Four-Eyed Golden God, it is a primordial god, born with four eyes, each eye has different magical powers, in the primitive era is a representative of plague and curse, anyone who is seen by his eyes will be cursed by it, and later sealed by Emperor Yan." ”
"About the four-eyed golden god, even the old Tao has only seen the description in an ancient book, at the time I thought it was just a mythical story written by the ancients, but I didn't expect it to really exist, at that time there were still three emperors and five emperors These powers can subdue this kind of evil spirit, but now if this golden four-eyed god is revived, there is no one in the world to cure. ”
"It's so powerful, then wouldn't it be death if we went, I think it's better to leave first. ”
Lin Huai heard the old Taoist's explanation, his body trembled, and the four-eyed golden god, this name sounds very domineering, as soon as he hears it, it is a big boss level, and these people are still looking for him, isn't this self-defeating?
"If it's really a four-eyed golden god, let alone an old man, it's useless even if I send the patriarch. ”
The old Taoist chief explained: "This kind of evil spirit has been killed or sealed by many great powers in ancient times, and the statue is just carved by the evil people of later generations, and they want to use the statue to communicate with the four-eyed golden god, so that the evil spirit can give them great power." In essence, this is the same as Buddhism and Taoism. ”
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there are their own gods and Buddhas, and many spells are also with the help of the power of the gods.
This Taishang Laojun is also a god, the same existence as the four-eyed golden god.
What are the gods?
Su Chen once asked those old men this question, and the answers these old men gave him were different, but there was one thing in common, if you believe in him, he is a god.
Su Chen was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, what is the difference between this and believing it, and not believing it?
Back to the present, Su Chen followed Chen Xin and his party for almost half an hour, and when he walked, Su Chen also paid attention to his feet, and he found that the route led by this old Taoist leader was not straight, but a tortuous route.
Fortunately, because only the flashlight was irradiated, Chen Xin and the others did not find this, but Su Chen understood in his heart that this old Taoist leader was probably following a certain formation route.
"Could it be that there is still a formation under this mountain?"
Su Chen's guess was quickly verified, and just when Lin Huai was a little impatient with the old Taoist in his arms, the scene in front of them changed, and a round altar appeared in front of them.
Similarly, the original darkness has also become light, around the round altar, there are four pillars, these four pillars are all made of fluorite, the round altar is illuminated, in addition to the pillar itself is also carved with patterns, corresponding to the four sacred beasts of the green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu.
"What is this?"
Lin Huai looked at a huge bronze statue on the altar, his face was shocked, this bronze statue was five meters high, his face was an old man, and the clothes on his body were engraved with gossip patterns.
And at the foot of this bronze statue, that is, the ground of the altar, there is a huge yin and yang Taiji diagram.
"This is the Laojun Evil Array, this statue is the statue of Taishang Laojun, erected here to suppress the evil spirit, the evil spirit is pressing under the feet of Laojun, at this moment the ancestral house is collapsing, the evil spirit must be felt, and will definitely take this opportunity to escape. ”
Perhaps in order to verify the words of the old Taoist, just after the old Taoist finished speaking, the statue of Laojun changed, and the turban on the top of his head fell off and fell to the ground and fell into pieces.
Seeing this scene, the old Taoist chief's face changed, "Oops, that evil spirit is really in action, we can't watch him break out of the formation, I am delaying by casting spells now, and you walk in front of the four spirit pillars, there is a recessed groove on these four spirit pillars, what you have to do is to pull this groove outward, activate the four spirit pillars, and suppress the evil spirits again." ”
Hearing the old Taoist's instructions, Chen Xin and the three of them walked to the four pillars according to the old Taoist's instructions, and the old Taoist was pinching his hands at the moment, chanting something silently in his mouth, his voice was very low, and the speed of speech was fast, so that people could not hear clearly.
"Grooves?"
Chen Xin's hand groped for a while on the pillar, and sure enough, he quickly found the groove, and then pulled it out, and the groove was filled.
Three people, the grooves of the three pillars have been pulled out, and now there is only one left, Chen Jie walked towards the last remaining stone pillar, but when he left, his eyes looked at the old Taoist leader, and said: "Senior, there are four of us, isn't it faster for one person to be faster?"
"I'm going to cast a spell to delay that demon, so it's up to you to do it. ”
Hearing the old Taoist's answer, Chen Jie let out an "oh" and walked to the last spirit pillar, but he didn't press the groove on the spirit pillar.
"Little girl, hurry up, I'm about to procrastinate. ”
"Don't worry, senior, I have a question here that I want my senior to answer. ”
Chen Jie smiled slightly, while the old Taoist was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the problem?"
"The predecessors came here during the Ming Dynasty, in order to seal the evil spirits, they arranged the formation, built the ancestral house, and used the mountain sealing technique to hide the ancestral house, so heavily guarded, even the predecessors themselves were sealed, right? ”
"That's right, little girl, what are you going to say?" the old Taoist chief frowned.
"I once read a book on psychology, when a psychologist did an experiment, found 20 people who had pet dogs, assumed a premise, the dog has a virus, the virus will not be transmitted to the owner of the dog, but will be transmitted to other people, so these 20 dog owners have two choices, one is to choose to kill the dog, and then like normal people, one is to choose not to kill the dog, but the dog and the person must be isolated, not allowed to contact and communicate with the outside world. ”
"These 20 people all made the second choice, that is, to be isolated with the dog, the first month was fine, but after three months, six of the 20 people could not bear it, they changed their choice, chose to kill the dog and return to society. ”
A year later, seventeen people changed their choices, and the experiment lasted only two years, because the next year, the remaining four people also changed their choices. ”
"Although it is not really a killing dog, it is just a verbal choice, and the psychological pressure and guilt of making a choice change cannot be compared to the actual situation, but at least it is enough to explain that many people's decisions will change over time. ”
After Chen Jie said this, he looked at the old Taoist with blazing eyes, and Chen Xin and Lin Huai also understood, staring at the old Taoist with a wary face at the moment.
"The cultivators of my generation have a firm Taoist heart, how can they be compared to ordinary people. ”
"What the seniors said also makes sense, but I found an interesting problem, the position where the seniors are standing, just outside the range of the four pillars, although I don't know anything about the formation, but I also know that the formation must have a range, after all, those Xianxia TV series are all played like this, so why do the seniors stand outside this formation?"
"Is it because after the formation is activated, it will kill everyone in the formation? But the old-timers know the righteousness, how can they care about death, and it is impossible to sacrifice a few of us ordinary people. ”
"Naturally not, this formation is only effective against evil spirits. The old Taoist replied.
The corners of Chen Jie's mouth had a sarcastic look, "I think it is not only effective for evil spirits, but also for the old-timers, how can a person live for so long, but according to what the old-timers said, the life of the evil spirits is eternal, and the current situation of the old-timers is much similar to this evil spirit." ”
PS: I've finally straightened out my thinking, but it's a pity that I've saved the manuscript of a dozen chapters, hey
