Chapter Forty-Seven: Resurrection (Collecting More Than a Thousand and Adding More)
The next morning, Ru Yan got up late with some dizziness, and the pothos had already prepared breakfast. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only Yu Heng and Ping'er sat at the table, but Yuan Feng and Hazy Moon were missing.
As soon as Ru Yan sat down at the table, Yuan Feng came in, "Childe, the villagers outside are all rumoring that tonight's third watch, Yu Heng wants to revive the soul of the peony!" ”
Hazy Moon also came in, "I just heard the villagers talking about it! ”
"Rejuvenation?" Ru Yan wondered.
"When I was a child, I heard the old man say that as long as a person has not been dead for more than half a month, and the body is kept intact, there is an ancient witchcraft that can restore his soul, and that person can be resurrected!" Ping'er said.
"Is there such a magic technique?" Yu Heng asked.
"I don't know, including my great-grandfather's generation, have only heard of this kind of witchcraft, but they have never actually seen it. If Wizard Alang can really do it tonight, it will really be a once-in-a-century spectacle! Ping'er replied.
"Looks like things are getting more interesting!" Yu Heng shook his fan and said.
I believe that this day will be difficult for all the people in Kao Village, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the third watch in the evening.
In the evening, before the third watch, the altar was full of people.
Ru Yan and his party came a little late, and they couldn't get in, so they could only stand on the periphery and watch.
Yi Lang has already put on his robes and hats. Yi Lang seemed to see Ru Yan and them, so he whispered a few words to the messenger beside him.
The messenger shouted to the villagers, "Everyone, please make way for Lord Wenzhi and let Master Wenzhi come to the front row!" ”
The villagers immediately gave way to a way.
When Ru Yan and the others walked to the front row, they found that there were already a lot of things prepared on the sacrificial platform, and even the body of the peony had been placed on the altar.
Ru Yan looked at the side again, Ning Zhizhang, Liu Yuanqing, Guo Laohan, and even Mr. Yi were all here.
After everything was ready, Yi Lang checked it again and saw that there were no mistakes. He quietly closed his eyes and meditated in front of the Dharma platform.
Listening to the villagers in the back, it is very laborious to do such a big French style. If the soul of the deceased does not listen to the caster's advice, it is very likely that the deceased will take the caster's soul away with it, and the caster will never wake up again. Therefore, before the practice, we must recharge our energy and be foolproof! “
"Quiet, quiet, let Wizard Alang have a good rest!" The messenger shouted to the villagers.
The surrounding villagers all consciously quieted down.
About half an hour later, Yi Lang opened his eyes and said to the messenger, "It's time to start!" “
With a wave of the messenger's hand, the sorcerers began to separate the altar from the crowd with a long black cloth covered with golden talismans.
There was a small commotion in the crowd in confusion.
"Don't make any noise!" The messenger shouted, "The purpose of this is to distract the Wizard of Alang from his heart, so that he can do it in peace. The second is that when the soul of the peony comes in, it can't escape after being blocked by the witch cloth who cast the spell. The third is that he is afraid that someone will enter the Dharma platform by mistake and be attacked by the peony soul. You'd better stand farther away, and if you are not afraid of death, you can stand up! “
When the villagers heard this, they hurriedly took a few steps back, as if the soul of the peony had already come!
The candle flame inside was very blurry through a layer of black cloth, faintly reflecting the busy sound and shadow of Yilang. There was the sound of Yi Lang's mantra inside, his voice deep and laborious, as if he was fighting against something. After a while, there was a concussive sound of ping-pong in the altar jar, as if it was a precursor that the contents were about to break out. Then came the howl of Yi Lang, the voice was miserable and sad.
The pothos was so frightened that she hugged Haze Yue tightly, and Haze Moon herself actually began to be scared.
There were villagers around who were worried that something was wrong with Yilang, and they were about to go up to check, but they were blocked by the messenger.
Suddenly, it seemed that the wind and rain were rising on the side of the black cloth, and the sound of wind and rain could be clearly heard outside, and the black witch cloth flew up like a swaying butterfly, and the candlelight flickered and flickered. Under the flowing and dim candlelight, Yi Lang's face that appeared from time to time was terrifying.
Separated by a cloth, it seems to be two worlds, the world inside is stirring the storm, and the outside is still calm and calm.
Suddenly, a few women's laughter reached everyone's ears, and the laughter was like a sharp needle, piercing the human body, the laughter was sad, lonely, wronged and resentful.
An aura of terror hung over the surroundings, and the crowd began to stir, and some of the younger ones were so frightened that they began to cry.
The pothos hugged Ha Yue tighter, her body trembled with fright, Ha Yue put one hand around Lu Yue's shoulder, and the other hand tightly tugged at the corner of Ru Yan's clothes, and her palms were dripping with sweat.
At this time, even old residents like Ning Zhizhang and Liu Yuanqing, who had seen all kinds of scenes, began to shudder a little.
Old man Guo cried and shouted, "Peony, is it you?" Are you back? I knew you'd be back! Is that you? Peony, you promise Dad! “
"Quiet, quiet, it affects the practice of wizards, only you ask!"
At this time, the crowd was a little quieter, and the villagers snuggled up to each other and emboldened each other.
The laughter was like that of an eagle waiting to hunt, and at first it only circled overhead, and then it plunged into the black cloth. With Yi Lang's howl of pain, the candle flame was extinguished!
It was pitch black all around, and the crowd outside began to panic and ran out, but because it was dark and invisible, there was a continuous stampede, and the old and young, women, children, and the weak were trampled under the feet of the crowd who rushed and bumped into each other without paying attention, and the cries and moans merged into one.
"Stand still, don't squeeze!" Ru Yan shouted loudly.
"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic!" Yu Heng also shouted loudly.
However, to no avail, their voices had long been drowned out in that cry.
"Witch Envoy, Palm Lamp! Palm light! Where is the witch? Yuheng shouted.
At this moment, the woman's laughter disappeared, and the candle flame inside burned again with a 'bang'.
The crowd also began to stop commotion, and the trampled on the ground was also pulled up. People held their breath and did not dare to make the slightest sound, as if even the slightest sound would again attract the terrible female voice.
When he looked again, the messenger fell on the edge of the altar and fainted, and it turned out that just when the candlelight was extinguished, the messenger fell from the altar in a moment of panic, and knocked his head on a stone and fainted.
It was very quiet inside the black cloth, and the corpse of Peony on the altar seemed to be still lying on it, motionless. But I never saw Yilang's figure.
Yu Heng stepped forward, ready to uncover the black cloth, but was pulled by Liu Yuanqing, "Yu Gongzi, danger!" “
At this moment, Guo Laohan took the lead and lifted the black cloth, Guo Laohan cried and shouted, "Peony, my son, where are you?" “
After the black cloth was lifted, everyone took a closer look, only to see Yilang lying on the ground, blood flowing from his nostrils and mouth.
Yuan Feng stepped forward, put his hand under Yi Lang's nose, and said, "It's okay, it's just fainted!" “
The sorcerers hurriedly stepped forward and carried Yilang and the messenger away.
Look at Guo Laohan pounced on the peony again, crying bitterly. I heard that Aunt Guo went crazy on the spot when she heard the news of Peony's death, and she pity the parents of the world!
But no matter how Guo Laohan cried and shouted, Peony still had his eyes closed and lay there motionless. Ru Yan always felt that there seemed to be something different about the peony. But what is the difference, it seems impossible to say.
"Why do I think Peony's complexion is a little ruddy, is it the reason for the candle flame?" Yu Heng said.
Ru Yan suddenly realized, "Yes, that's right, it's just that your face is different!" “
Ru Yan suddenly rushed over and grabbed the peony's hand, which startled everyone around her.
"Soft, soft!" Ru Yan shouted loudly.
When the others hadn't reacted, Guo Laohan immediately stopped crying, and he also grabbed Peony's other hand, "It's soft, it's really soft!" “
Guo Laohan laughed like a madman.
Ning Zhizhang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to probe the peony's snort, only to see that his face changed greatly, and his fingers immediately flicked back.
"Go, go get a bowl of yellow bile water!"
Soon, someone took a bowl of yellow bile water from the nearest villager's house and handed it to Ning Zhizhang, and with the help of Guo Laohan, Ning Zhizhang put the bowl of yellow bile water into the mouth of the peony.
Unexpectedly, a bowl of water was not completely filled, but there was a cough of peony, and then, a miracle really happened, and peony, who had been dead for six or seven days, actually opened her eyes weakly.
"Where is this?" Peony actually spoke.
Everyone was deeply shocked.
"Is there really a way to bring the dead back to life?" Ru Yan thought in her heart, "That's amazing!"
Only then, when the pothos and the hazy moon saw that people were alive, they dared to come over.
Ru Yan looked at Yu Heng again, and he seemed to have fallen into deep thought.
At this time, Peony opened her eyes slightly, looked around, looked around again, and whispered: "Dad!" I want to go home! “
"Then let's go home!" , Ning Zhizhang's voice was very soft, at this moment, he regarded her as a daughter, and all the unhappiness and estrangement before disappeared. Ning Zhizhang wanted to ask Liu Yuanqing to do him a favor, but shouted to the audience: "In-laws, in-laws!" “
At this time, Liu Yuanqing disappeared.
"I ...... I want to go back to Guojia Village! Peony said.
"Okay, okay, go back to Guojia Village, let's go back to Guojia Village!" Guo Laohan choked up and replied.
Ning Zhizhang on the side was embarrassed, "Then I'll ask someone to send you back to Guojia Village, your body is well, and I'll let Tao'er pick you up!" “
In order to hide this embarrassment, Ning Zhizhang walked down to see if the Ning family in the crowd was still there.
