56.The Fifty-Sixth Talisman
It is rare to raise corpses, not because this law is not easy to implement, but because this method is too yin and evil, and the people who raise it will not end well.
The corpse keeper was also first passed from Xiangxi.
The Miao people are good at witchcraft Gu art, there is a distinction between black witch and white witch, white witch saves people, black witch harms people, and the boundary is clear. The corpse cultivator evolved from the Black Witch Gu Technique.
Gu making is to put all the poisonous insects in a jar, let them kill each other, eat each other, and the one that survives in the end is a powerful poisonous Gu worm, with witchcraft spells will also play different roles, can change shape at will, turn into wine and food, and harm others.
This is the principle of raising corpses, using secret herbs to coat people's bodies, placing them in the corpse pile, relying on the yin qi on the corpse to suppress the evil diseases or pains of the human body itself, and nourishing itself with the yin qi of the corpse. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and corpses do have the effect of shocking pain, but in the long run, they will make their own yin and yang imbalanced, and yin energy will prevail in yang, and they will become inhuman and ghostly.
For example, the old lady's body that has already stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot and then uses the corpse to raise people is no different from driving her directly into the ghost gate, so the old gentleman will use this evil method to use the corpse to raise the old lady's body.
Under the large expanse of blooming wildflowers, it is estimated that the corpses of the old gentleman were brought back from the cemetery, and the corpses were used to absorb enough nutrients from the flowers, and then the flowers were picked and mashed into a puree and fed into the food.
Zhou Tong looked at the increasingly dense yin qi on the old lady's face, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Even if they have a deep love for plaice, the old gentleman should not drag his wife's soul and prevent her from dying." I look at the old lady's complexion, that ** should have rotted, right?"
Ling Yuan didn't speak, and acquiesced to Zhou Tong's opinion.
When the old lady had finished eating, she put aside the rice bowl, and there was still half of the rice bowl left, but the old man did not say anything, but put away the rice bowl, took out the stove from the drawer, and put the dried flowers into the stove and lit it. The faint smoke wafted and steamed in the hut, and the old lady sniffed at the smell of the burning flowers, shrugged her nose, and looked a little more complex.
Seeing that her face was a little better, the old gentleman went to help her cover the quilt, stuffed her with a small bone, and advised: "I went to work, you stay at home well, and if there is something, release the bone butterfly and call me." ”
"There you go. The old lady said in a hoarse voice.
After the old gentleman left, Zhou Tong dared to approach, he was not very sure that he was just a paper man before, and when he stepped on the flower field in person, Zhou Tong was 100% sure that what was buried under this flower field was really a corpse.
Zhou Tong squatted on the ground and touched a handful of soil, the soil was bright red in color, with a smell different from other soils, he picked a flower and came down, and there was blood flowing out of the broken place, and a small worm like a silk thread crawled out.
Rao is Zhou Tong, a person who has dealt with ghosts many times, can't stand this scene, and after throwing the flowers on the ground, he walks to the hut.
As I got closer, I found that the thatched house was full of evil spirits, and a large number of unjust souls were piled up on the roof, but the old gentleman did not dare to make a mistake, and those unjust souls climbed along the four walls of the thatched house, and when they saw Zhou Tong, they were so frightened that they gathered together and avoided in the shadows.
Zhou Tong didn't enter the house, walked to the back of the thatched house, picked up a pile of miscellaneous items piled up there, and sure enough, he saw a formation.
The old man is really the descendant of the black witch in Xiangxi.
A skull was placed on top of the blood-red formation, and the hollow eyes looked into the distance blankly, Zhou Tong's yin and yang eyes revealed their original form, and after carefully observing the formation for a moment, he said to Ling Yuan, "Have you seen this formation?"
"Nope. Ling Yuan said, "I don't know much about black witches, in my time, black witches were still staying on the far border, and if they crossed the border a little, those guardians would shout to eliminate demons and defend the way." But it's not uncommon for people to cross the border, I went to southern Xinjiang once, and the feng shui is good, why did you come to the Central Plains?"
Zhou Tong smiled: "Really?"
Ling Yuan, who suddenly realized that he had talked a little more, immediately stopped talking.
Zhou Tong asked: "Then what should I do, I won't break this formation." Although the root causes are the same, our Xuanmen art and the black witch's qi thinking and methods are too different. ”
Ling Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Give you a book, you may be able to find a solution by reading it." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Zhou Tong could react, a bunch of miscellaneous knowledge poured into Zhou Tong's mind, and those spells and spells that were much different from what he had learned before were drilled into his mind together, obviously messy, but in Zhou Tong's mind, they were absorbed one by one in an orderly manner.
Zhou Tong has a soul of Ling Yuan in his body, and the knowledge he draws from Ling Yuan is all that Ling Yuan himself has, Ling Yuan said that he doesn't know how to break this formation, and there will be no direct way to break the formation in the knowledge passed on to Zhou Tong.
However, it is enough to have basic knowledge, touch the bypass, draw inferences from one another, he has been under the oppression of Chinese-style education for so many years, and he is the best.
Zhou Tong quickly digested that knowledge, glanced at the dried blood stains in front of the formation, and said, "Although this blood is almost dry, it obviously fell at different stages, and the traces are of different depths. ”
He pondered for a moment or two, and said, "The dark witch has one thing in common with us, and has always had blood worship. Gu keepers will feed blood in order to make Gu worms recognize their masters, and we have always had the saying that a drop of blood recognizes the master. The qi wrapped around this blood belongs to the old gentleman, who is feeding or sacrificing something with his own qi. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong found something hidden in the skeleton with sharp eyes, and a shadow flashed from the skeleton's empty eyes just now.
Zhou Tong thought about it, bit his finger, and put his finger not far from the formation, blood beads overflowed, and a little bright red on his white finger was very dazzling.
The skeleton suddenly began to shake slightly, and then, from the jagged teeth crawled out of a fat white bug, her abdomen was high and swollen, her lower body was huge, but her head was very sharp, and her mouthparts were open, crawling out of Zhou Tong's fingers.
Just when the insect completely crawled out of the skeleton, Zhou Tong quickly grabbed the insect's body with the yellow fu, her huge body writhed uneasily in the yellow fu, and let out a subtle scream, and in an instant, the entire flower field echoed, and the huge sound was like a landslide and the ground cracked.
"......" Zhou Tong smiled awkwardly, "It seems to be messed up?"
Ling Yuan sneered: "You still have the face to say." ”
Zhou Tong held the fat worm in his hand and asked, "Why don't you just smash it a little more and pinch it to death?"
Ling Yuan: "......"
As soon as Zhou's voice fell, the head of the female insect in his hand was crooked and he lost his breath.
Zhou Tong: "......"
Ling Yuan: "......"
Zhou Tong said innocently: "I didn't make any effort, it died on its own." ”
"That's the female Gu. Ling Yuan said weakly, "As soon as the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will rebel." ”
Zhou Tong looked back and saw that the flower field was black and oppressive, and countless insects with different reminders came out of the soil, like a plague of locusts that had broken out, and quickly crawled towards the place where he was.
Zhou Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's going to be ruined anyway, so it's better to do it a little bit." ”
Taking a deep breath, the smile on Zhou Tong's face disappeared a little, he held the Five Thunder Talisman in one hand and the Seven Treasure Mirror in the other, and threw the Five Thunder Talisman into the air.
Zhou Tong recited the spell, and with a single volley, dozens of five thunder talismans rushed towards the pile of Gu worms.
There were a few explosions, lightning and fire, thunder and thunder, and those Gu worms were scorched by the five thunder runes!
However, after this batch of Gu worms died, another batch of Gu worms poured out, as if they would never be exhausted.
“…… So many?" Zhou Tong looked at the other group that had been killed and sprung up in a steady stream, a little surprised, he thought about it, took out a piece of yellow paper, quickly dropped a paper talisman, and read: "Please roll your tongue." ”
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Tong unhurriedly recited the mantra to invite the tongue to enter the palace, only to see the yellow paper thrown on the ground by Zhou Tong shook his body, stood up, wiped it on his waist, and took out a cane.
"I'm Curling, I'm here to kill you. The paper talisman villain pointed at the Gu worms, the Gu worms who were obviously dead suddenly shook their bodies, and got up, her mouthparts opened and closed, and there was a buzzing sound, and those restless Zi Gu immediately regained their calm, but they still rushed to Zhou Tong's side, stopped in front of a line and stopped moving, those Gu worms walked in front of Zhou Tong in an orderly manner, like a queue, and the black pressure was quickly and orderly listed together, until the last Gu worm crawled out of the ground.
“…… What's going on?" Ling Yuan, if he had a physical body, probably his jaw would have dropped
"Fake your death. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "This kind of corpse eater Gu is the best at it. ”
Zhou Tong looked at the group of Gu insects, which were almost three stories high, and sighed: "This number is really scary. As he spoke, he stamped a yang seal on the palm of the palm that had the palm thunder charm.
"The sky is thunder and fire, and there is no more than enough to cut it out, and it is as urgent as a law!"
The palm thunder slammed out, and the next moment, the heavenly thunder hooked the earth's fire, and the dark blue flames suddenly enveloped those Gu worms.
The unjust spirits who had been hiding behind the house crawled out, cheering around the sky-high flames, and dancing away the Gu worms that had gnawed at their corpses.
Seeing this, Zhou Tong said: "I open this gate of heavenly thunder in the north, which can lead to the underworld, you can take advantage of the fire to reincarnate." ”
The unjust spirits nodded at Zhou Tong, and melted into the flames, drifting west with the barely visible smoke.
In less than five minutes, these Gu worms were burned clean, Zhou Tong saw this, hooked his hand, rolled his tongue and shook the paper stick, the female Gu worm screamed, the sound was extremely sharp, and Zhou Tong's eardrum was so stimulated that it was about to be shattered.
Zhou Tong: "......"
Zhou Tong covered his ears and said, "I knew it would be easier for her to die." ”
Ling Yuan: "......"
The corpse of the female Gu worm fell, and Zhou Tong rolled up the yellow rune, and those sub-Gu who wanted to break out of the body were immediately subdued in the yellow rune. Zhou Tong pasted a Five Thunder Talisman on the Yellow Fu and burned the body of the mother Gu cleanly.
With the death of the mother Gu, the skull placed on top of the formation also crumbled and split into powder.
Zhou Tong went around to the front of the house and looked, the large flower fields were rapidly withering, and the flowers that were blooming extremely brilliant a second ago were all withering at this moment, as if the former glory was only a scene that would exist in a dream.
Zhou Tong glanced around the window and inside the thatched house, where the old lady sat calmly on the bed, holding the bones left for her by the old gentleman in her hands, and never made a sound.
Zhou Tong nodded to the old lady and said sorry with his mouth, the old lady shook her head, the wrinkles on her face bloomed, and a relieved smile was revealed.
Zhou Tong looked away and prepared to go to the old gentleman.
At the moment when he passed through the door, a mysterious force pulled Zhou Tong directly into the house, and the slippery thing wrapped around Zhou Tong's waist, and a huge spider web covered him, crushing him to the ground.
The old man walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Zhou Tong, the corners of his mouth raised a triumphant smile: "I saw with my own eyes that you ruined my savings for so many years, just waiting for you to be defenseless at this moment!"
A trace of poison flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said: "I recognized you when you came to me today, yesterday you broke my back corpse, and today you dare to come to the door openly, really when I am old, I have no ability at all?"
Zhou Tong didn't say a word, just looked straight at the old man with a pair of calm eyes.
Seeing that Zhou Tong didn't speak, the old man thought that he was convinced, so he snorted proudly, and then walked to the old lady's side and said, "Why don't you use the bone disc for you?"
"Why?" said the old lady smiling sadly, "I want to die, I don't want to live like this." ”
"What a fool's errand!" the old man scolded viciously, "you can't die, and if you die, I'll be the only one alive in this world." I'm not going to let you die, I'm not going to let you die!"
The old lady was full of resentment and threw a bone in her hand at the old man, but her weak body could not make her resistance much threatening, and the bone even fell on the bed as soon as it broke away from her hand.
Seeing this, the old man's face sank, but he didn't say anything, he put away his bones, and said, "You will end your pain soon, and I have prepared a new body for you." His gaze fell on Zhou Tong and sneered, "This body of his is very good, and it can accept your soul well." When you are resurrected, stay with me and stay with me. ”
