The Dharma Seal is one of the Taoist ritual vessels, and there are many types, and their use and power are also very different. Le Wen Novel|

Most of them are only used for decoration, and a very small number of them are really mysterious, but under normal circumstances, it is difficult for us to see these genuine seals, because of the loss of materials and craftsmanship, so that many seals that were said to have great power in ancient times have long lost their original role, and even the original meaning has almost been lost.

Of course, there are also some that have been tempered over the years and have been preserved by luck from ancient times to the present. Although there are very few of them, they are really like the magic weapons played in novels and movies, with vast magical powers, which can assist those who know how to control them to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

For example, this one that fell out of the old Taoist rattle.

At first glance it is completely inconspicuous, because it is so small that it is almost impossible to hold in the hand.

The material seems to be very ordinary, just a translucent stone between ordinary black rock and cyan jade.

But it has a very eye-catching name, called the Heart Seal of the Emperor of Xudu.

Eight words are engraved on the seal: "As soon as the heart seal comes out, all the gods bow down." "Literally, it seems that as long as you use this seal to subdue demons and subdue demons, even the heavenly soldiers and gods will give their hands to help, which really makes people can't help but be in awe when they hear it.

But the literal text should be a bit exaggerated, just like I didn't see the seal from beginning to end that attracted any heavenly soldiers and gods in the process of use, except for a white, arm-high, steam-like figure.

But the power is indeed obvious, especially when it is in the hands of the Immortal Child.

It wasn't certainly my eyes glazed with nervousness at that time, for I did see a burst of glow from it, as the Immortal pressed it to the coffin board.

This is also the first time I have seen a magic weapon actually work, and not just a pretending prop in the hands of Taoist priests. So I think, like me, when the previous boat boss saw it, he probably knew that it was a sacred object. At the same time, he was convinced that hiding it on himself would help him ward off the ghosts that had been haunting the hotel for years.

But this realization prompted him to do one thing wrong.

Although he knew that it was a treasure, but after all, he was an ordinary person, and the boss of the boat didn't know how to use this treasure, and he didn't think about it at all, why did those masters in ancient times choose the right time when they used these treasures, bathe in fragrant soup, and do enough work. Of course, it may also be due to the conditions at the time, so after the man hurriedly picked up the seal, in a hurry and panic, in order to avoid everyone's attention, his first reaction was to stuff it into his mouth.

Thinking that he is a person who drinks heavily all day long, and inevitably has no taboo in meat and vegetables, how can he casually throw a purifying magic weapon into his mouth.

This man's saliva is completely dirty.

Therefore, originally this Dharma seal belt did have a strong effect on warding off evil spirits around him, but because of Boss Zhou's blasphemous behavior, it played a completely opposite effect, as soon as he touched Zhou Yu's body, he was immediately possessed by those things that originally grew on the wall, and directly invaded his brain.

After that, the Dharma seal simply extinguished itself, which was also a decisive move for this spiritual thing.

Of course, half of these things are judged from the specious words of the young man just now, and the other half is my own guess.

Guess right or not, it doesn't matter, I only know that if it wasn't for the Immortal Master forcing Boss Zhou to spit out this magic seal, I am afraid that he would have finished like the magic seal, because the power that can make a stone collapse from the inside out, if you put it in your mouth, wouldn't it be easy to explode your mouth.

But even though he narrowly escaped, Boss Zhou has also been invaded by those blood-colored plants, and although he seems to be fine at the moment, I don't know what kind of impact it will have on him in the future.

It's strange why he was infested by those blood-colored plants after touching the boat feathers.

Could it be that Zhou Yu has some kind of inevitable connection with this kind of thing, so just now the Snow Bodhisattva broke through the seal of the Immortal Prince, preventing me from touching him, and the Immortal Boy also saw that the Boss Zhou stood up and wanted to catch Zhou Yu, so he asked him, 'Do you want to die'.

But what is the connection between Zhou Yu and those blood-colored plants......

And what is the basis of Boss Zhou, knowing that Zhou Yu is not a person, but actually a pen.

It seems that even those Taoist priests, and even the number one person like the Underworld, don't seem to see this?

Just when I was looking at Boss Zhou so confused, I suddenly saw him gasp hard, and then said something a little abrupt: "Actually, Xiao Yu is not my biological son." ”

Zhou Yu is not the biological son of Boss Zhou.

It was not surprising that this sentence came out of Boss Zhou's mouth, because his attitude and behavior towards Zhou Yu never looked like a biological father.

So who is Zhou Yu's biological father?

Originally, I should have asked, but thinking of the original form he had formed, I felt that this question was also asked in vain.

Could it be that Zhou Yu is a pen demon, so Boss Zhou and his family have lived with such a pen demon all these years until his wife and daughter died one after another?

This question just flashed through my mind, but I heard Boss Zhou say that he actually had a son with his wife Ah Fang before.

The son's name is also Zhou Yu, but within 100 days of his birth, he contracted pneumonia and died.

Since then, Ah Fang has been in a trance, and she was born with poor health, so she almost died with it. But then somehow, the spirit began to get better day by day, and the boss of the boat thought that it was the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine he had eaten all year round, but later found out that this was not the case, but because Ah Fang found a spiritual sustenance, relying on that, so he recovered.

But that sustenance is also strange, it is not a pet, although at that time the doctor looked at Ah Fang's mental condition and once built her to raise one.

That thing was actually a pen.

Boss Zhou said that he didn't know where Ah Fang found this money, it was so old that even the tip of the pen was hairy and split, and the pen tube was cracked, but every day Ah Fang always took it on his body like a baby, wrote with it, and talked to it.

At that time, Boss Zhou was very afraid, he was afraid that his wife had just recovered her physical health, but she had psychological problems and was mentally ill. asked his daughter to take out this money and throw it away when his wife was not paying attention, because when he was in front of him, his wife never left this pen.

But later Boss Zhou found out that his ten-year-old daughter sometimes whispered to this pen.

This made him even more frightened, and he thought, "Could it be that madness is contagious?" But at that time, the hotel was busy with business, and he was afraid that people would know about it, so he did not take the two of them to the hospital to see a psychiatric department for a long time.

Then I saw that the two of them were getting worse and worse day by day, because they were talking to the pen, but then they were simply talking to the air, as if there was really someone in the air. The most terrifying thing is that the two of them don't want to have mental problems at all when they talk is a very ordinary conversation, and sometimes they will be very ordinary and have a lot of trouble, but whether they talk or make a fuss, they are either facing the pen or the air.

But I can't tell anyone about it. So the temper of the boss of the boat became more and more stinky day by day, and day by day he became more and more anxious, and finally one day, despite Ah Fang's fierce resistance, he snatched the pen from her hand, ran a long, long way in the car, and threw the pen to a place where even he couldn't tell where it was.

After coming home very late, he thought that he would not be able to avoid a quarrel with his wife and daughter, but it is strange to say, the house is quiet, and the silence makes him feel a little incredible.

So at first, he was a little happy, thinking that after throwing away the pen, the family would finally be restored, but he didn't expect that after entering his room, he was about to go to bed, but he saw a child sleeping next to his wife.

A baby who was almost more than a hundred days old startled him, and hurriedly woke up his wife and asked where the child came from. His wife said to him with a strange face, why don't you recognize your own son, this is Xiao Yu, our son Xiao Yu.

Since then, this child, who doesn't know where he came from, has lived in Boss Zhou's house and was raised by Boss Zhou's wife as his own son.

Boss Zhou was very scared, he was afraid that this child was stolen from someone else's house by his wife after being stimulated by the loss of the pen. But after more than half a year, I have never seen anyone nearby report that the child is missing, and it doesn't seem like he bought it from a trafficker, after all, it costs money to buy from a trafficker, and his wife never cares about the family's money, so there is no money.

So where did this kid come from?

One day, Boss Zhou saw something strange and gave him a strange idea.

He saw his wife breastfeeding Zhou Yu. It is normal for a one-year-old child to drink milk, but Boss Zhou found that the bottle in his wife's hand was not milk at all, but half a bottle of black paste.

He never knew what it was, because his wife always held the baby tightly in front of him, and the bottle was always washed off when it was fed, and he had no chance to touch it. But since then he has kept an eye on it, once, he was finally caught by the opportunity to get the unwashed bottle, this opened and smelled, but he was startled, it turned out that his wife fed Zhou Yu every day, it turned out to be ink.

No wonder the money in the drawer was always a few dollars less than a dozen yuan for a while, it turned out that it was not that he had misremembered the account, but that his wife had taken it to buy ink. But how can you feed ink as milk, and the child will never see anything after eating it?

The thought suddenly reminded him of his wife's strange behavior before he threw away his pen. This gave him a very strange and bold idea, he thought, could this child have been changed by the pen, or his wife had been barking at the pen all day long, and he had just thrown away the pen on his front foot, and the child on his back foot would appear in his house?

The thought scared and frightened him, because if the boy really had a fountain pen, it meant that the old fountain pen had become fine. I often hear the old people, if there is something in the house into a fine is very bad, it means that it is going to be unlucky, isn't there a saying that the country will die and will give birth to demons, and the things in the house are almost a sign of such a bad luck.

Sure enough, not long after that, my daughter, who had just passed her twelfth birthday, was diagnosed with chronic aplastic anemia.

His wife's family has inherited a genetic disease that has been passed down from generation to generation, which is unfortunately a huge blow to this family, which is not very good economically. Originally, the cost of raising the two children and the wife's perennial Chinese medicine expenses were enough to make ends meet, although the family opened a hotel, but the location was not in front of the village and behind the store, and the business was only enough to maintain daily expenses, with a little surplus, and now with the daughter's medical expenses, it is simply beyond the means.

But at that time, Boss Zhou's blow was not to the point of alcoholism. At that time, he was still very hard at making money, except that every time he saw his "son", he was afraid and hated, but when he thought of his daughter's illness to be treated, he could only bury his head in work, in addition to the business of the hotel, he also worked part-time work outside.

But a few years later, something happened that completely destroyed the family.

A stock market crash made half of the boat boss's life savings go down the drain.

This savings did not come easily, especially after having more sons and daughters fell ill. And what's worse is that at this juncture, his daughter's illness turned serious.

Chronic disorder anemia usually becomes less severe and usually occurs after many years. But his daughter was so unfortunate that when the family's financial conditions were the most difficult, her condition became seriously ill and she needed to be hospitalized.

On the day his daughter was hospitalized, the boss of Zhou beat Zhou Yu severely.

In his words, it is better to be killed, and he is simply sentenced to be shot or imprisoned, and it is a hundred from now on. But after all, he didn't dare to get the poison, so he buried a hidden danger for the tragedy that happened later. A few days later, because she couldn't afford the medical bills, after receiving basic treatment, the daughter of the boat boss was taken home, planning to take Chinese medicine all year round and treat conservatively, just like her mother.

But when he got home, he saw Zhou Yu covered in bruises, and his daughter was very uncomfortable.

Sick people are always very fragile and prone to cranky thoughts, and his daughter subconsciously thinks that Zhou Yu was beaten, and a misfortune happened in the family, which was her responsibility. So early the next morning, when Boss Zhou went to the room as usual to ask her to get up and take medicine, he found that she had hanged herself.

didn't even seal a suicide note before he died, and it seems that he made such an impulsive and decisive decision in a hurry. The occurrence of this tragedy once again broke the will of the boat owner's wife, and she went crazy.

Walking around the inn aimlessly all day, saying that she was looking for her daughter, that her daughter was not dead, but was hiding somewhere in the inn. With the emergence of mental problems, her physical condition is getting worse and worse, originally it was just a relatively strict anemia, but then she had the same symptoms as her daughter, and then went to the hospital to check, and sure enough, the family disease did not let her go.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer tenants in the store.

No one wanted to be wronged that they lived in such a madhouse-like place, and the proprietress was not only insane, but also looked like a vampire, pale, emaciated, and her features were more haggard than a corpse. Therefore, even if it is the only inn within a radius of dozens of miles in this place, others would rather go further and look for a clean and safe hotel in the distance.

As a result, life became even poorer and worse, so bad that the boat owner completely lost the * that continued to struggle in life.

He drank heavily every day, and vented his anguish and anger on Zhou Yu day after day, cursing him every day for not dying well.

He even thought about committing suicide, but once when he dragged his wife and tried to jump off the building, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu cried and said not to kill his mother, he would do anything for his mother.

And on that day, a monk came to their hotel, and he said that he was not here to stay in the hotel, but to the people in the store.

Then he asked Boss Zhou, is there a woman in your store who is very blood-short.

Boss Zhou thought about it and knew that he was referring to his wife, so he nodded.

The monk said again, it doesn't matter now, but it's not good after a long time, do you want to cure her?

Boss Zhou said, of course I want to.

The monk said, "Well, there is a room on the second floor of your store on the west side, has it always been not good, and it can't live in people."

Boss Zhou said, yes, because it is too old, the smell inside is not very good.

The monk said, of course it's not good, but it will be better for that woman. So I'll teach you a way, and you can lock the woman in this room for a while, and it will take about a few years, and after a few years, she'll be fine, and your shop will be fine.

Speaking of this, Boss Zhou seemed to be still thinking about the conversation with a certain monk that day, so he looked at the wall in front of him in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time.

So I didn't hear the questioning of the young man.

It wasn't until the second time that the young man spoke and gently put him on the shoulder that he suddenly dreamed and looked up at him: "What did you say?"

"Let me ask you, what does that monk look like?"

“...... This," Boss Zhou thought for a moment and smirked: "It's not a woman, how can I remember, I remember that I was very young, like a junior who just came out of school." ”

"He taught you to seal this mask in the wall, and then locked your wife in this room?"

"Yes. ”

"Did this face have hair at that time? ”

"This ...... How can a mask have hair......"

"Then why is the mask growing hair now. ”

The question of "this ......" not only made the boat boss speechless, but also made everyone in the room focus their eyes on the wall.

yes, why does the mask grow hair.

"And you're done with everything about this room?" asked the young man again.

"Hmm. Boss Zhou nodded.

"You're sure you're done. ”

"Yes, but I don't know why Ah Fang became like this...... She's fine during the day...... Yes, it's Zhou Yu, this kid! It must be this kid!" As he spoke, anger came up again, and he turned his head and glared at the coffin, only to realize that Zhou Yu had already turned into a pen.

"Zhou Yu?"

"This kid always doesn't listen to me, runs to the second floor to see his mother, and sometimes lets her out and lets her wander around the building to scare customers. ”

"yes, that's a bit of a trick. ”

"What's so difficult?" Boss Zhou was stunned.

Hades didn't answer.

Because at this time, the old Taoist priest who had been watching silently on the side suddenly hissed in his mouth, took two steps back and glanced around in surprise, and then hurriedly turned his head and asked the two apprentices behind him: "What kind of place is this??

"Dao Ye, is this dreaming?" Hearing this, the young man smiled faintly at him.

Hearing this, Lao Daomeng glanced at him, and then his eyes suddenly hung up. I looked at him for a long time, and I took a heavy breath in my mouth: "I've seen you! I've seen you in my dreams! What's going on?!"

As he spoke, he was groping all over his body, probably trying to find something useful to answer the confusion in his heart.

But after a moment of giving up, he pointed to the young man, and slowly looked at the woman lying by the coffin on the ground: "What's the matter...... What the hell is going on......"

"Did you forget something, Dao Ye?"

The old Taoist priest's lips pursed vigorously, as if he was unwilling to answer the question.

Seeing this, the young man smiled at him again. "So you have to think about it, otherwise, how do you tell me to get you out completely, don't you? ”
