Chapter 44: The Seven-Star Resurrection Lamp

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhang Kai helped the blind man into the small village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe small village is not big, there are only about a dozen families, and there are not many people, many people have actually bought houses in the county, leaving only empty houses in the small village.

After all, the village is not far from the county seat, and if it develops a little in the future, it may be encircled in the urban planning circle, and at that time, a lot of money can be obtained for demolition, so although these old houses are empty, no one is willing to throw them away.

The blind man's house was on the east side of the village, and it was just a small tiled house with three rooms horizontally, one of which was also used as a firewood house, with a fire outside for cooking and a pile of firewood inside. The other two rooms, one is a bedroom, the other is the hall, the middle of the hall hangs the ancestral incense shrine, the right side is for the three Qing Daozun shrines, the left side is against the wall of the bedroom, and there is a bed.

"It's a bit messy at home, don't laugh at the little brother." The blind man groped into the hall, touched a low stool, pulled it over and put it in front of Zhang Kai and said.

Zhang Kai shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay." After a pause, he asked, "What about your master?" ā€

"I'll take you in the next room." As he spoke, the blind man touched the wall and walked into the room on the left. It was dark in the room, and there was no electric light, except for an oil lamp lit by the head of the bed, which gave a faint light. The light shone on the bed, a thin old man about seventy years old wearing a yellow Taoist robe and a Taoist temple, and the old man still had a handful of dust in his hand.

The blind man said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, little brother, I can't see anything, so I haven't installed electricity, or I'll get you another oil lamp." ā€

Zhang Kai grabbed the blind man and said, "Don't bother, there is an oil lamp in the house, I can see it." ā€

"That's the Seven Star Soul Resurrection Lamp, my master once taught me, but unfortunately I am not good at learning, and I still haven't recruited my master's soul back." The blind man sighed and said.

Zhang Kai was stunned, the seven-star soul lamp, why did he only light one lamp? Shouldn't it be the seven lights in the north according to the position of the Big Dipper? The direction of the bed in this room is also wrong, since the seven-star soul lamp is to be placed, it is natural to place the bed in the north position, and the head is facing the position of the Big Dipper, how can it be placed in the east?

The blind man said that he was not good at learning, and he was indeed not wrong at all! Zhang Kai secretly thought to himself, thinking of the blind man, in fact, why not himself? If it weren't for the miscellaneous old Taoist incident, he might have regarded what the old Taoist priest told him as a fantasy and scoffed at it!

The blind man said a word, and said to Zhang Kai with a smile: "I'm sorry, young man, in the words of you young people, this is feudal superstition and pseudoscience. But my king has been blind for most of his life, and he has followed his master since he was a child, and he has been exposed to all these things, and he has developed a habit of listening to all these things. ā€

Zhang Kai smiled and said, "Actually, I am also a member of the Daomen. ā€

The blind man paused for a moment, and then said in surprise: "What did you say? Are you also a member of the Daomen? ā€

Zhang Kai nodded, only to remember that the blind man couldn't see, so he said again: "That's right, I am the one hundred and fifty-third generation disciple of Yuntai Guan. ā€

"Cloud ...... Yuntai view, you are talking about the second largest view of Yuntai in Shuzhong? The blind man cried out in astonishment.

"That's right."

"Are you the immortal chief of Yuntai Guan?" The blind man knelt down in front of Zhang Kai with a puff, kowtowed and said, "Immortal Chief, please no matter what, you must save my master, my blind man Wang has kowtowed to you, Immortal Chief." ā€

Zhang Kai stretched out his hand to help the blind man and said, "Get up quickly." After a pause, Zhang Kai said again, "You should know that we Taoists pay attention to a fateful character. Since I happened to be the right person, I naturally have no reason to sit idly by, so you can first tell me why your master has become the way he is. ā€

The blind man nodded, and said in retrospect: "Two years ago, I remember very clearly, just two nights before the Midyear Festival, I followed my master to set up a stall to tell fortunes and came back, but a man came to the door, saying that his wife died in a car accident, leaving a three-year-old child, crying and screaming for his mother every day.

He heard that other people and my master had magical powers and could communicate yin and yang, so he begged my master to bring his wife's soul and let them see each other again no matter what. When my master saw him crying sadly, he relented for a while, so he agreed, but he didn't expect to get into trouble because of this, and even the old master and his old man became a living dead! Alas! ~" As he spoke, the blind man let out a long sigh.

Zhang Kai frowned, and said: "You keep saying that your master has caused trouble, what did he provoke, you tell me in detail." ā€

The blind man thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you what my master provoked, I just remember that on the night of the Midyear Festival, the master asked for the birth date of the man's wife, and the practice of opening the altar was to use spiritualism to summon his wife's soul and meet her man and son."

But then there was a sudden strong wind and thunderstorms, and I couldn't see with my eyes, and I didn't know what was happening. He seemed to be very angry, and then my master asked me to fetch the talisman, and took out all the things that were so precious that he usually didn't even let me touch them, but in the end my master still became like this. ā€

Zhang Kai was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How many talismans did your master use?" What symbols are used? ā€

The blind man turned his head in surprise and looked at Zhang Kai with empty eyes, and said with a wry smile: "How many talismans can you use, my master only has one talisman in total, or when he was young, he traveled out and met an old Taoist priest in the mountains and gave it to him." Listen to my master, it seems to be called the Five Thunder Talisman, it is a very powerful good thing, ordinary demons and monsters, only need that one, you can beat it to the soul, and it can't be born forever! ā€

Zhang Kai smiled bitterly, it turned out that the five thunder talismans were all good treasures in the eyes of other Taoist priests.

But I heard the blind man say again: "My master usually takes out the five thunder talismans, as if he wants to copy it, but unfortunately he never succeeded in the end." Alas, I don't know if it's because my master's life is bad, or if he doesn't cultivate enough. As he spoke, the blind man sighed again.

Zhang Kai was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about the things your master used when drawing talismans, take them out and show them to me." ā€

"Here, I'll keep them all, those are my master's treasures, I'll keep them all for him, in case he wakes up one day, he can still use them." As he spoke, the blind man touched the side of the master's bed, leaned on his stomach and felt under the bed for a while, pulled out a wooden box, opened the box, and said, "It's all here." ā€
