Chapter 5 The Seven Lights for Entry
I subconsciously lowered my head and glanced at the ground, and sure enough, I saw a sleeve cuff peeking out of my feet.
I reached into the soil a few times, and sure enough, I dug out a set of clothes that were more than half rotten.
That's my clothes. When my father bought me that new outfit, I was happy for days. But when I woke up, the clothes were gone.
My grandfather told me at the time that my clothes were burned by the fire, so why are my clothes here?
"Hehe......" The man sneered, "Believe me now, right? When the master came to me and begged me bitterly, I agreed to let him raise you until twelve and then send you back." Now, I'll give you ...... too."
"Get outβ" I grabbed the dagger with both hands and stabbed it into the dirt.
If the man behind me doesn't say: My father promised to sell me, I can still be scared by him. As soon as he said that my father had betrayed me, I knew it was fake. My grandfather would rather die by himself than let me have an accident, that man is lying to me to get out.
After I stabbed the knife, there was a sound of the tip of the knife piercing the wood under my clothes, and the man behind me was silent. At that point, I still didn't dare to look back, but I was like crazy, and I stabbed one knife after another into the earth. I don't know how many knives I stabbed into the soil, but a few pieces of wood slag suddenly came out from under the tip of the knife, and a bright red and bloody thing appeared in the soil.
I was stunned at first sight of the bloodstained thing, and the next second, a white-eyed human face stood out from the blood, and two eyeballs that seemed to be scalded by boiling water were turned and stared at my face. I suddenly struck a spirit, holding a knife in my hand and not knowing what to do.
At this time, my grandfather's voice also came in from outside: "Light the lamp, turn on the lamp quickly, the light is going out!"
When I turned around, the white lantern I had placed at the entrance of the cave had dimmed a little, and the light of the lantern's dancing flame was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I broke the ash and the fire in the lantern couldn't be lit!
As soon as I figured out what was going on, the broken ash ignited the lantern from inside, and the light on the lantern leaped over the foot, illuminating the entire cave in an instant.
It's over!
I was stunned on the spot, and before I could come back to my senses, a black shadow fell from the sky, and pounced on the lantern, and between the flames that he descended from the sky, my grandfather also jumped in from outside the cave, and as soon as I saw my father's shadow, the cave became dark again, and I could not see anything except the clanging noise in the cave.
"Chen Ye, do it quickly!" My master's voice seemed to be close to the ground and entered my ears, and he either let the thing fall to the ground, or hugged the other party and moved on the ground.
I tried to get a knife and stab the box, but I didn't know where the knife had goneβI didn't know when the knife in my hand had been scared off, and it was too late to touch the knife.
I dug into the ground empty-handed, and out of it came a slimy, warm thing, I couldn't see what it was, but I felt like I was holding a freshly killed pig's heart. I picked at the thing with both hands, and I wanted to tear it but couldn't tear it open, and there was no movement on my grandfather's side.
As soon as I opened my mouth in a hurry, I bit down on the thing and tore off a piece of it. I didn't have time to spit out the thing, the second bite went up, and after three or two of them, my mouth was stuffed with minced meat, and I was still biting up desperately, whether I swallowed the bloody minced meat even I couldn't tell, I only knew that the thing in my hand was getting smaller and smaller, and I was trying to bite the piece of meat in my hand, and suddenly felt someone pat me on the shoulder.
I had already stuffed something in my mouth, and I couldn't breathe for a long time, and I was so frightened by the people behind me that I rolled my eyes and passed out on the ground.
By the time I woke up, I had already returned home, but when I opened my eyes, I saw a white lantern above my head, and my father was sitting under the lamp smoking, his face was half dark by the light, and he was still wearing a white cloth shirt, and a black top hat from the movie on his head, and the hat could be pressed down to cover half of his face.
Who can wear this dress for the living? Especially the black top hat, I used to see the dead when I saw the funeral in the village, and I saw it on the dead man, isn't that the longevity hat that the dead wear?
I cried at the time: "Master, are we both dead?"
"Fuck you!" My grandfather took the cigarette pouch and knocked twice on the edge of the kang: "Get up and eat, I'll take you to the door after eating!"
My grandfather brought me a pot of boiled meat, and I was so hungry that I didn't even pick up the chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth, which I had never eaten before, but it was more fragrant than the meat I usually ate. I ate several pieces before I pulled out a finger almost half a foot long from the basin, and I almost didn't spit it out: "Master, what did you give me food?"
"Don't vomit! If you dare to vomit, I'll let you eat a piece of it you spit out." My grandfather roared before he said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a yaksha." β
Yaksha: I have heard it in "Journey to the West" and "Nezha in the Sea". But I didn't know what the Yaksha was, but I later learned the meaning of the Yaksha, which was a fierce and aggressive ghost, and a ghost that was said to eat ghosts. Yaksha has both good and evil, good and evil, and is both a legendary bloodthirsty monster that is easy to kill. It is also the protector of Buddhism. But by the time I knew the meaning of the Nakshatras, I had already walked into the rivers and lakes.
My grandfather saw that I didn't eat it, so he said in harmony: "If you continue to eat, you will be treated as eating pork." We all have to eat some of these things before we get started, and I didn't eat as good as this back then. When you're full, I'll take you to get started. β
My grandfather didn't care if I listened or not, and said to himself: "Originally, I wanted to help you turn the evil qi on your body and make you an ordinary person." Unexpectedly, you accidentally ate the Yaksha, this can be regarded as providence! Perhaps, God doesn't want our old Chen family to stop, if I was ruthless to let your father get started...... Forget it, don't talk about that. β
When my father talked about the sad place, he changed the subject: "If you talk carefully, your kid is not small." It's as if this yaksha is waiting for you here. Before, he didn't know who was sealed in this mountain. The master who sealed him took his heart out and hit it in a box, and Yaksha couldn't die if his heart wasn't broken, and the master didn't kill him, but he didn't let him cultivate too strongly, otherwise, I would have been killed by him a long time ago. β
"I want to beg him to turn you away, who knows, you kid has offended him. He doesn't want to kill you. I did it with him. It took me a lot of effort to lure him into that hole with your clothes. But I know that I can't lock him up, he can sense you, and as soon as you reach your twelfth birthday, he will have to come out to find you, so I will take you up the mountain to kill him. β
When I heard my grandfather say this, I couldn't help but ask, "Master, the Yaksha told me in the cave...... How does he know what's going on in my heart?"
"I said, that's your hallucination. My grandfather said, "Yaksha can see through people's hearts, and at that moment he was dragged by me and didn't go in at all, he should be scaring you with his telekinesis." Thanks to the fact that we are two of us, if we go up to one, we really can't deal with him. Alright, come with me when you're full. β
My lord saw that I was almost finished, so he took me into the West House, put the tablet and let me kneel on the ground, he himself put three sticks of incense on the tablet, and said with words in his mouth: "The sixteenth generation of the Trickster Sect disdains the disciple, Chen Rufei." Take the seventeenth generation disciple Chen Ye to get started. Enter my door wall, bring blessings and misfortunes upon yourself, have no hatred with the sky, and have no grudges with people. β
After my grandfather finished speaking, he picked up a large wine glass and put it in front of my eyes: "Drink it!"
I was stunned for a moment, wasn't the wine glass the one my grandfather had said was made of dead people's brains and bones? This wine glass was not only two or three times larger than the one I had broken, but also had blood on the outside, which was a freshly skinned human head. My lord can't make a wine cup out of that yaksha's head, right?
My father seemed to know what I was thinking, and nodded at me.
I've eaten all the Yaksha meat, so why don't you drink some wine from his head?
I took a sip of my glass before my grandfather told me to put it down and placed a white lantern in front of me: "Light the lamp." β
I lit the white wax in the lantern, and my father picked up the lantern and hung it on the beam in front of the offering table, and said loudly: "A white lamp respects heaven and earth, and the warlock will break the cycle in this life." β
The meaning of that sentence is that I use a white lamp to worship heaven and earth for the last time, and from then on, I am a warlock, even if I do not enter reincarnation, I have to fight for heaven and earth
After my grandfather finished shouting, he said again: "Drink, light the lamp!"
After my father picked up the second white lamp, he said again: "The second life lamp worships gods and demons, and there is no god in front of me. β
This sentence is to say: I worship gods and demons for the last time, from now on, I worship gods, I don't respect demons, I don't need the protection of gods and demons, life and death are my own.
"Drink, light the lamp!"
"The three white lights respect the parents, and if you don't step on the Yellow Spring, the soul will not return. β
"The four white lamps respect the homeland, and don't ask anyone where the bones are buried. β
"Five white lights respect the soul, and the fate turns to nine ghosts and people are fearless. β
"Six white lights respect the eyes, and people and ghosts are on the same path to distinguish right from wrong. β
"Seven white lights respect my heart, and I don't regret when I complain. β
I've never drunk alcohol, and after two sips in a row, my head started to get dizzy, and I didn't hear what my father said behind me, anyway, he asked me to drink, and I drank, and he asked me to light the lamp, and I lit the lamp.
After I lit the seventh white lantern, my grandfather's voice suddenly rose a lot, and his voice became extremely hoarse: "Lichengβ"
My grandfather reached out and lifted the red cloth on the tablet as he spoke, and the three big words "Trick Kill Door" appeared in front of my eyes. My grandfather reached out and pressed my shoulder, "Kowtow, keep kowtowing." Can't stop, hurry up, don't fall asleep, don't stop, don't stop......"
