Chapter 20: Accidents
Xia Xiaoling's girl didn't look like she was here to investigate the case, she kept shouting in front of the monitor, and at the same time threw questions to Professor Zhao, such as what kind of fish is this, how beautiful it is, etc. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiang Wang didn't pay attention to them, took some information from Professor Zhao from this archaeological exploration, and looked at it under the shade of a cool tree by himself.
The information is very messy, as if it has not been sorted out at all, but Jiang Wang still found some clues from it, Professor Zhao and they don't seem to be simply exploring the ancient city, but looking for something purposefully.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was still very bright, Elder Qing Shui and Elder Qing Ling, led by one of Professor Zhao's students, Fang Jun, came here by boat, and brought dinner for Jiang Wang and the others by the way.
At the end of the Buddha flags are seven white candles, forming a circle with a diameter of three meters, a copper lotus lamp in the center, a futon behind it, and finally an offering table covered with a bright yellow tablecloth, on which a ruler-high golden Buddha is enshrined, a small incense burner in front of the Buddha, and three incense sticks are placed on the side.
This is one of the Buddhist arrays inherited by Lingyin Temple, the seven-star soul attraction array, of course, it is a fragmented version, the original array can even attract the spirit body that the formation master wants from the underworld, or gather the remnant soul of the spirit body that has been scattered, if he has the treasure that nourishes the spirit body, maybe he will be reborn, of course, the reborn spirit body is a completely new individual, with a little memory of the original spirit body, it may be contaminated with part of the cause and effect.
It was slowly getting dark, and the moonlight didn't come out quickly, and there were only a few lights on the island in the rumble of small diesel. The boat family has gone, and now there are only Jiang Wang and Professor Zhao on the island.
When it was completely dark, several people glanced at each other, and Elder Qing Shui took the lead in walking to the futon and sat down, and then said to everyone, "Okay, you can start." Ignition! ”
"Okay." Fang Jun used a lighter to light seven candles, and when he wanted to light the lotus lantern, he was stopped by Elder Qing Shui.
Jiang Wang also lit the three incense sticks on the offering table and inserted them into the incense burner.
After all the candles and incense were lit, Elder Qing Shui activated the formation with true qi, and then recited in a strange tone: "The Buddha flag leads the way, the seven stars gather the spirits, the lotus protects the body, and the still light is not yet in place, but when." ”
"The Buddha flag leads the way, the seven stars gather the spirits, the lotus protects the body, and the still light is not yet in place, and when will it be."
"The Buddha flag leads the way, the seven stars gather the spirits, the lotus protects the body, and the still light is not yet in place, and when will it be."
In fact, in the folk, there are many similar spiritualist methods in rural areas, Jiang Wang has seen it, more than ten years ago, there was a child about the same age as him in his hometown, when he was fighting with his peers, he fell into a small mountain stream more than one meter wide and more than two meters high, the water in the mountain stream was very shallow, the child's forehead hit a big bluestone directly, there was no bleeding or syncope, only a big bag on the forehead, after getting up, he didn't know the pain and knew how to cry, just stood there stupidly. The other children called the adults of his family, took him home, and also went to the doctor, and the day and night passed without the child getting better. At this time, an old man said that the child's soul was lost, and he had to summon the soul quickly. Although the child's parents will be suspicious, but they have to die as a live horse doctor, according to the old man's words, paste a paper lantern, after dark, carry the lit lantern from the mountain stream where the child had an accident, walk three steps, shout "so-and-so, go home", so shouted all the way to the house, shouted to the child (along the way, the lantern must not be extinguished, otherwise the soul will not follow). After shouting three times, the child suddenly fell asleep, and after a few minutes, the child woke up, no different from a normal person, crying and screaming. I heard that this child has now married a wife and had children, and has started a family.
After three sounds, a strong wind suddenly blew on the island, and the Buddha flags crackled. However, the light of the seven candles did not shake in the slightest, and the smoke on the offering table was straight upwards.
Seeing this, Elder Qing Shui began to recite another Buddhist mantra again, as if to appease something.
After a while, the copper lotus lantern surrounded by seven candles was suddenly lit, emitting a bright yellow light.
"Okay, the Heavenly Soul has returned" Elder Qing Shui was still chanting the incantation, and it was Elder Qingling who spoke out.
It turns out that this copper lotus lamp is a Buddhist treasure of Lingyin Temple, which has the purpose of summoning spirits and attracting spirits, and different spirits enter it, and they will emit different colors of flame light, the heavenly soul is bright yellow, the earth soul is dark red, the life soul is white, the flame light of the seven spirits is also different, and the ghosts and ghosts, the original gods of the cultivators are also different; It is also used to protect the soul and nourish the soul, because it is often bathed in incense in the medicine hall, and the scriptures of the monks are blessed day and night, and as long as the spirit in the lotus lamp is not evil, it will be protected by the lotus lamp, and even nourished by lamp oil.
The old monster of Huang Feng in Journey to the West is not only able to steal the lamp oil in front of the Buddha, of course, the lamp oil in this lotus lamp is not as good as the lamp oil in front of the Buddha, or even one ten-thousandth, but its effect of protecting the soul and nourishing the soul is already excellent for the existence of the soul body.
Jiang Wangyun picked up his true qi, activated the Nether Ghost Eye, and looked towards the lotus lantern, and sure enough, in the center of the bright yellow light flame, a small monk the size of a thumb was sitting in it.
After a while, another gust of yin wind struck, but this time the wind was much stronger than just now, and even the candles began to become light and shadow, bright and uncertain, Elder Qing Shui saw this, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the three incense sticks on the offering table, and found that two of them were burning rapidly, and after a while, it was only two-thirds of the other.
"It's not good, something else is coming, brother, please take care of the candle, don't put it out. I'll take back the still-light earth soul first. Elder Qing Shui shouted at Elder Qing Ling, and hurriedly recited the incantation, stepping up to guide the still light earth soul into the lotus lantern.
Elder Qingling took out his Buddha weapon vajra, stood beside Elder Qing Shui, and injected true qi into the Seven Stars Soul Attraction Array to keep the seven candles unextinguished.
In Jiang Wang's ghostly eyes, I saw a large gray shadow following a monk with a dark red light all over his body walking from the soul-attracting road made of Buddha flags, and was about to enter the seven-star position of the formation, that is, where the seven candles were, one was the earth soul of the monk of Jingguang and some things that wanted to take advantage. Jiang Wang reached into his arms, took out the "Prisoner Spirit", and was ready to shoot at any time.
Under the blessing of the formation, the two elders could also see these situations, and Elder Qingling's true qi was more urgent, and Elder Qing Shui also pinched the seal, and at the same time recited the "Seven Buddhas' Mantra for Destroying Sins": "Leaving the Buddha and leaving the Buddha, asking for the Emperor, Dharani, Nihara, Emperor Viliyou, Emperor Mahaga, Emperor Zhenling Qian, and Sha Pohe." ”
With Elder Qing Shui's movements, the Buddha statue on the offering table erupted with a golden Buddha light, and then slowly dyed the entire Seven Star Soul Attraction Array into gold, and the gray shadow in the array suddenly let out exclamations and screams.
Jiang Wang's ghostly eyes looked at it, and he saw that those gray shadows were illuminated by the Buddha's light, and a trace of black gas came out of his body, drifting towards the sky, and as time passed, the gray shadows gradually turned white. The earth soul of the monk Jingguang smoothly entered the lotus lamp under the support of the Buddha's light, and the two souls of heaven and earth gathered, and the flame light became half yellow and half red.
The few people present all breathed a sigh of relief here, and just as Elder Qing Shui was about to put away the lotus lantern, an even stronger yin wind suddenly came from outside the array.
Jiang Wang only saw a flash of black light, and then the Seven Star Soul Attraction Array was forcibly broken with a "bang", and several of the shadows that had turned white in the array could not dodge, and the whole was shattered, and the soul was scattered in the desperate scream, and everyone else who was okay hurriedly hid far away.
Even the Buddha light that shrouded the entire formation also had a trace of ripples, and the scope was even narrowed sharply, and it could only envelop the two elders and the lotus lantern.
When everything stopped, Jiang Wang saw that the ten-sided Buddha flags that had been inserted had all fallen to the ground, where there was a large gray-black long worm, the triangular head proved that it was poisonous, and the part of a bifurcated blood-red letter that was exposed outside the mouth was more than half a meter long, and the body was nearly thirty centimeters thick, and the body was wrapped with scales the size of a ping-pong ball, and there was a metallic luster under the light, because of where the disk was, so I don't know how long it was, but it was estimated that it would not be less than seven or eight meters.
These are quite normal, at least not beyond the scope of everyone's knowledge, but the bulge on the triangular skull, which is about ten centimeters, is in the abnormal range.
"This, this is, Gollum, this is the poison Jiao?" Professor Zhao said incredulously, but Jiang Wang heard a trace of surprise and a hint of madness from it, and he didn't know if Jiang Wang heard it wrong.
"Poison Jiao, isn't this legendary, how can it appear here?" When Fang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim. 、
"This is Jiao, it doesn't look good at all." The only one who can say this is probably Xia Xiaoling, a wild girl.
"No, this is not Jiao, it's just a big snake that is about to turn into a Jiao. And it's a yin snake that grew up eating carrion. "Elder Qingling is well-informed, and he can see the problem at a glance.
Jiang Wang also came back to his senses, for Jiao, Jiang Wang had seen in some materials of the Wumeng that all descendants of dragons have the possibility of turning into dragons, such as snakes that turn into dragons for thousands of years, and dragons for ten thousand years. However, the lifespan of a snake is generally between a few years and twenty or thirty years. It is almost impossible to turn into a Jiao, with the current situation on Earth.
In some legends left in ancient times, there is a description of a scale and a half claw, after the snake turns into a dragon, a single horn will grow in the middle of the head, and reverse scales will grow on the body, and with the increase of cultivation, a pair of dragon claws will also grow, generally three toes, and Yuan Dan evolved into a dragon ball. If the Jiao encounters thunder and lightning rainstorms, it will soar to the sky, and if it can survive the thunderstorm, it will turn into a real dragon and become a divine beast.
