Chapter 6: Cedar Essence
Since a little chinchilla came to the house, Xiao Podao has never been idle, and he was forced to ask Liu's mother for steamed buns twice, and the atmosphere was embarrassing...... Is it really self-inflicted on leaving this little chinchilla? This is the voice that I share with Changsheng.
Anyway, in order to feed this little chinchilla, I asked Mother Liu for so many steamed buns, and the favor must be returned, today is the third day, and we must cure Ruoruo this time.
First of all, we must expel the spirit on Ruoruo's body, and first solve this scourge before we can summon spirits. According to our findings, Ruoruo should have a cedar essence attached to his body, at least a hundred-year-old Taoist spirit, but why is this cedar essence so timid, we analyze that it is because he has left the roots, so he has become so timid.
It is said that the best way to deal with the dryad is to use fire, but if it is hidden in the human body, then it cannot be done like this. The only way is to let it come out of Ruoruo's body on its own, the tree spirit is different from the ghost, it needs the yang energy in the human body to replenish the ghost element, and they need the earth qi in the soil to replenish the vitality. And if it lives upstairs, and does not leave the house, and does not come into contact with the soil, it is difficult for it to absorb the nutrients it needs, so it will become weaker and weaker, and its courage will become smaller and smaller, and finally when it is dying, it will be entangled to death and die together.
Fortunately, the days when the tree spirit got on his body were not long, and he was far from that point, but Ruoruo's face had roots exposed, indicating that the situation was also very strict.
The method is very simple, just let Ruoruo walk to a big tree at night, and then surround her with a circle of flames, leaving an exit to the big tree, the tree spirit is afraid of the fire, it will definitely run out of Ruoruo's body, get into the big tree, and then paste it with a seal, and then burn the trunk with rootless fire, and the tree spirit will hang.
A rootless fire is a false fire, just as a furnace burns out, and the last remaining flame that will be extinguished is a false fire. What we need here is a rootless fire in the wood, that is, the flame that burns out after the wood is struck by lightning, but where do we find thunder today, so Changsheng decided to use the "Fire and Thunder Fu" to light the big tree for a while, and immediately Changsheng took out the yellow paper and brush back, and made three sealing charms and three "Fire and Thunder Fus", after drawing the talisman, Changsheng fart ran downstairs and said to Liu's mother, there is a way to cure Ruoruo, let her take Ruoruo to the yard tonight, and at the same time burn a fire around Ruoruo to drive away the evil spirit.
Of course, Liu's mother was skeptical, but now she is also desperate, and she has to try it whenever she has any chance, so she agreed.
In the dead of night, only the sound of the wind chirping. In the night, the cedar stood like a hideous giant, stacked into a dense pile of black shadows, and the gaps in the branches were like thousands of pairs of small eyes, mysteriously peeking around.
Just after the child, Changsheng got up and went downstairs, at this time Liu's mother was already waiting outside the door, she was in a hurry to tell Changsheng, if she was very timid, she couldn't coax it. This is a difficult problem, and if you use strong words, I estimate that Changsheng's body is not enough to slap the tree spirit.
I thought about it for a while, and said to Changsheng, "Why don't you break a thick branch and try it......"
Changsheng ran to the side of the street, found a big tree, broke a branch, and returned upstairs with lush leaves, and according to my instructions, he entered the door and swayed gently at the panicked Ruoruo, Ruoruo's expression relaxed, and his eyes showed a very hungry look.
There is a door, the tree spirit who has been hungry for a few days is dead, and when he sees the branches, it is like the little chinchilla monster sees the big steamed buns that spray incense, so he was led downstairs by Changsheng shaking the branches all the way, and there were almost no people in the courtyard in the deep night, and he came to stop in front of the somewhat withered cedar. At this time, if a pair of strange eyes, staring at the big tree, the green light came directly, and at the same time, the mouth made a "hiss...... sound", the tree spirit should have seen that it was time to go home, and the excitement came out.
But what is a little strange is that Ruoruo is just wandering around, his eyes rolling around, and he never moves.
"Ye Xiaoluan, don't you dare to leave Ruoruo casually, this dare is too small, and you still want to let this tree spirit go back to her hometown by herself......" Changsheng said to me softly while teasing Ruoruo.
"Maybe this tree spirit is thinking that if you go out of Ruoruo's body, you won't be able to go back." I saw that Ruoruo was getting more and more impatient, and it seemed that she was about to slip away again, and reminded Changsheng to hurry up and let Mother Liu sprinkle gasoline around Ruoruo.
Mother Liu was windy at her feet, and while Ruoruo's attention was on the tree in Changsheng's hand, she quickly poured gasoline around, leaving only a gap in the direction of the tree. At this moment, the tree spirits were alert, these spirits were naturally shrewd, although they didn't know what Mother Liu was sprinkling, but guessed that it was definitely not a good thing, and the love immediately became very hysterical, and ran back to go home.
Changsheng hurriedly took out the source of the fire and threw it on the ground, and with a "whew", the gasoline burned, and Ruoruo was encircled inside. Let her scream, cover her head with her hands, this damn thing is really afraid of fire, a face with tangled roots has turned purple sauce, and it looks extremely miserable in the firelight!
Mother Liu was so frightened that she took two steps back and asked, "Will it be okay if you are so?" ”
"It's okay aunt, I'm ...... a mile," Changsheng said, taking out the seal from his pocket and getting ready.
At this time, a black gas burst out from the top of Ruoruo's head, quickly floated out from the gap in the fire ring, and pounced on this cedar and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Changsheng took out the Thunder Fire Talisman again and formed a sword trick, sandwiching the talisman between his fingers.
"All gods salute, and serve the thunder. The ghosts and demons are cool, and the spirits are dead. There is a thunderbolt inside, and Thor is incognito...... Haste as a law! "Generally, people who have a foundation in Taoism, pinch the trick and recite the mantra, and the talisman will spontaneously combust, but the immortal path is too shallow, and it can't burn by itself without lighting the fire talisman, there is no way, only under the somewhat strange gaze of Mother Liu, she awkwardly borrowed a torch talisman on the ground and lit it, and slapped the talisman on the tree.
"Squeak......
As soon as the fire burned, there was a terrible scream from the big tree, which was particularly weird and terrifying. And with the screams, the outside of the tree body seemed to be wrapped in a dense layer of black rattan, the trunk seemed to be full of gas, and the middle part was bulging like a pregnant woman's belly. But the sealing talisman faintly flashed yellow, and the thunder fire talisman was full of fire, and the tree immediately shrank back.
In an instant, the rattan outside the tree disappeared, and a large crack appeared in the bark, and from the crack came out of the blue-green sap, which slowly turned into a puff of black smoke, and drifted into the air, as if mixed with a faint scream.
At this moment, a strange cry suddenly exploded in my ears.
"Whew-woo-woo-woo......" The little chinchilla suddenly appeared in front of us, under its strange cry, I and Changsheng gradually became in a trance, hazy seemed to see a small cedar break through the soil, sunshine and rain, it thrived, one day someone came here, repaired the house, repaired the street, many of its companions were shoveled away, cut down, burned, but it was lucky to survive, but also moved into the yard to take care of it, the traffic was busy, the world fireworks...... One day, it was suddenly born with a trace of spiritual consciousness, it quietly peeked at the world, curious and timid, it slowly grew up and gradually had a childish consciousness......
We instantly regained our consciousness again, the ugly ugly looked at me and Changsheng with crystal shining eyes, very strange we immediately understood its meaning, I hope we let go of this little tree spirit, although this cedar has been a hundred years, but this tree spirit has not been born for a long time, that night the cedar was just struck by lightning, immature and timid it was frightened and panicked on Ruoruo's body, it has no harmful intentions, it is really very timid, so it caused the current result.
We are all clear about the cause and effect, without much hesitation, Changsheng "snapped" and tore off the half-burned thunder fire talisman, as soon as the fire talisman went, this cedar immediately returned to normal, although it withered and withered more, but because of the return of the tree spirit, the vigorous vitality spread.
"Little Podao, life is really magical, do you think my ghost is another life?" I was suddenly moved and asked softly.
"Uh, maybe......"
"Little tree spirit, I know you are kind, I hope you live well, even if one day you really turn into a tree demon, you can't have evil thoughts, otherwise this little elder brother will definitely not let you go......" I muttered these childish words, I don't know if this little tree spirit can understand, but deep down I believe it can understand.
"Little tree spirit, remember this sister's words!" Changsheng also said a word, and at the same time turned his head to look for Ugly, this magical little Totoro disappeared at some point.
At this time, the cedar suddenly shook up, only to see a gray shadow floating from the cedar to Ruoruo, disappearing in a blink of an eye, and then looking at Ruoruo, curled up on the ground, the flames around her body have been extinguished, at this time she moaned slightly, her eyes opened, a clear, Mother Liu ran over to pick up her daughter, don't look at her forty or fifty years old, her strength is quite big, holding her tonnage daughter is not difficult at all.
"Little Podao, it seems that there is no need to summon souls anymore, and the little tree spirit takes the initiative to return this soul to Ruoruo."
"This is the best, in fact, this Xiaodao was worried that we accidentally burned Ruoruo's soul when we burned the little tree spirit, but now everyone is happy, haha......" said Changsheng and tore off the seal again, and now the little tree spirit is completely free.
Changsheng turned around and was about to go back upstairs when he suddenly heard a burst of applause from across the street. I was stunned and turned my head, who is applauding here at such a late hour, is it because my parents are applauding for their superb demon killing skills just now?
There was a silver-gray Buick classic car parked on the street at the gate of the courtyard, and a young man in a neat dress leaned on the car, looking at Changsheng and applauding with a smile. Looking at this posture, the other party really cheered for Changsheng, the car seemed to have stopped on the opposite side a long time ago, but I was concentrating on dealing with the tree spirit with Changsheng at the time, and I didn't even notice it.
In this era, those who can drive classic cars are either rich or expensive, this kid is rich and handsome at first glance, but this kid is black, his breath is free, and there is a faint black gas above his head, and it looks like a bloody disaster......
"Hey, good things are coming!" I thought about it and smiled proudly at Changsheng.
"Huh?" Changsheng wondered.
"You know...... "I looked at the rich and handsome boy as if I were looking at a pile of white silver dollars.
