Chapter 9 Persuading Zhou Xia
Peachwood sword, I believe that many people have seen the scene of a Taoist priest holding a red wooden sword to fight ghosts from some ghost-hunting movies they have seen on TV. Although this kind of program effect, the peach wood sword can indeed have the effect of warding off evil spirits.
Li Shizhen once wrote in the (Compendium of Materia Medica), "The peach taste is bitter and evil, so it can hate evil." "For Taoist theory, everything in the world contains qi, so many things will be mutually reinforcing. The masculine in the peach wood can restrain the yin energy of ghosts.
There was once such a story, according to legend, when he praised his father for chasing the sun, he died of lack of water. When he died, he threw his cane on the ground and turned it into a peach grove so that future generations could eat peaches to quench their thirst. Kuafu symbolizes a powerful power of conquest, and is inextricably linked to the sun, so the peach forest conjured by his cane also has the effect of driving away ghosts and evil spirits.
Of course, Zhang Wen also knows that this is a legend, but Taomu can indeed restrain the ghost, there is no doubt about it.
Although Daoist Lu Dao knew that Zhang Wen had been cultivating with him for a long time, he had never had actual combat experience, so he took the opportunity to instruct, "Zhang Wen, with your current skills, you are already enough to use many spells in our Maoshan Sect, and what you lack now is actual combat experience. The so-called experience needs to be accumulated and realized by oneself. ”
"Master, I know the Tao, I will definitely concentrate on studying."
Daoist Lu quickly made a handprint with the peachwood sword, muttered a spell in his mouth, and pointed to his shirt with his left hand and shouted, "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, and Zhou Xia's soul will return quickly." ”
As soon as Daoist Lu's words fell, an eerie coolness rose from the room, and a wisp of black mist overflowed from his shirt, and as the black fog became thicker and thicker, the shirt suddenly floated up from the altar without wind.
Aunt Yang's mother and son looked at this incredible scene, looking at the shirt that was slowly floating up with a frightened expression, and couldn't say a word nervously. Zhang Wen hurriedly lifted his yin and yang eyes and looked at the place of the shirt, it was the female ghost he saw when he was in the hospital, and at this time, he was wearing a shirt on the altar and was looking at Lin Hao standing behind Daoist Lu stupidly.
Daoist Lu shouted with a solemn expression, "Zhou Xia, don't show up at this time, let alone when." ”
Zhou Xia's body slowly emerged, but her body could be clearly seen with the naked eye being slightly transparent, like a transparent human glass displayed in front of her.
Daoist Lu's eyes shrank, and he said coldly, "Yin has a yin path, and yang has a yang rule, unless it is fate, people and ghosts cannot meet." Zhou Xia, you stay in the world and don't report on the underworld, and disturb the order of the world for the sake of harming the world, are you guilty? ”
"I'm not guilty, he promised to be with me forever, and he swore it. I'm just here to make him fulfill the vows he made. Zhou Xia pointed at Lin Hao as if she was crazy.
Sister-in-law Yang was taken aback, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Zhou Xia, it's all my fault, I asked him to break up with you." Regardless of his business, please let Lin Hao go, if you want to take it away, take me away. ”
"It's none of his business, but he swore to me that no matter what happens, he will be with me. Lin Hao, you can't forget your oath. Zhou Xia asked Lin Hao coldly.
When Lin Hao saw her become a fierce god, he was already so frightened that he couldn't speak at all.
Daoist Lu said solemnly, "Zhou Xia, I am deeply sympathetic to your experience, but the matter has come to this point, and you have returned to Huangquan. You should abide by the rules and regulations, and everything in the world will have nothing to do with you. You better take advantage of the fact that you haven't made a big mistake yet, and go back to Yin Si to prepare to be reincarnated as a new person. ”
"I don't care about any rules and regulations, I just want to take him. Stinky Taoist, you'd better leave it alone, and be careful that I even clean you up. Zhou Xia's face changed, and she threatened viciously.
Daoist Lu picked up the peachwood sword and scolded angrily, "Zhou Xia, if you are stubborn again, Poor Dao can only arrest you and dispose of you." ”
Zhou Xia smiled gloomily, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability or not." After saying that, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, and the laughter was sharp and piercing, continuous. It made everyone in the room feel a suffocating pressure coming over their bodies.
Daoist Lu's true qi then gathered in the dantian, and slowly spit out a very clear Dao number, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." As soon as the four-character road number came out, the terrifying atmosphere caused by the laughter just now was suddenly suppressed, just like the sun after a rainstorm, warming the heart.
Zhou Xia's face changed, she raised her hands, her ten fingernails instantly became longer, and she flew towards Lu Daoshi.
"Stubborn." Daoist Lu muttered, raised the peachwood sword in his right hand, and slashed a sword duel from the hilt to the tip of the sword with his left hand. The peachwood sword was quickly covered in a faint red glow. With his sword, he swung towards Zhou Xia.
As soon as Zhou Xia's hands touched the peachwood sword, it was as if they had been burned by fire, and a layer of light smoke as if it was burnt quickly floated on her hands. was slapped by the power of Daoist Lu's slap and flew directly behind him.
Zhou Xia just stood still, the glimmer in her eyes flashed, but she rushed towards Lin Hao.
Daoist Lu snorted coldly, and casually threw the peachwood sword in front of Zhou Xia. Zhou Xia's body paused slightly, and the peachwood sword covered with a red light just flew in front of her, shooting straight towards the wall.
Zhang Wen didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to Lin Hao's front with a "whoosh", looking at Zhou Xia in front of him with a smile.
Zhou Xia remembered Zhang Wen's strength, and confronted Zhang Wen as if she was on guard.
Zhang Wen looked at her and said, "Zhou Xia, don't be busy with your hands first, let me ask you a question first, have you ever loved this man?" ”
Zhou Xia suddenly fell silent, and in an instant, her brain exploded, and countless sweet memory fragments passed through her mind like a movie.
Zhang Wenshen sighed, "Zhou Xia, I admire your courage, but you really did something wrong. ”
He paused, and saw that Zhou Xia still didn't refute his meaning and continued, "It can be seen that you actually love him very much, in fact, you know very well in your own heart that Brother Lin Hao also loves you very much." ”
Zhou Xia finally reacted, her emotions were almost out of control, and she said angrily, "But he still doesn't want me anymore." ”
Zhang Wen sensed her murderous aura, frowned and continued, "Then you shouldn't commit suicide, you won't put things down first." Since you both love each other, you should both find a way to face it together, and this is just a small setback in life. As long as you let his mother know that you are the best for her son, then his mother will not object to you. But you have to choose the most stupid thing to do, and there is no room for suicide, it is you who have given up your love. ”
Zhang Wen felt very angry about Zhou Xia's approach, if it weren't for the fear that it would stimulate her and make her unable to control her emotions. He had already started scolding. Even if you don't cherish yourself, how can others cherish you. Isn't it just a breakup? Is it necessary to commit suicide? Where there is no grass at the end of the world, you should live better, and then find someone better than him to tell him that he is blind when he is not with you, and now there is a better man than you to love you. Besides, your mother raised you so big, and ran away to commit suicide for a stinky man, where did you put them, and how did you repay them for their nurturing kindness?
Taking a step back, if you really love each other, then simply make your belly bigger, then no mother-in-law and mother-in-law are afraid. If you have the ability, you will let your son not recognize this child, and I will not let him recognize you as a grandmother in the future. Of course, although he was very angry in his heart, he also tried his best to control his tone and try not to stimulate Zhou Xia.
Zhou Xia froze instantly, and when Zhang Wen said anything later, she couldn't hear it at all, she only felt a roar in her ears, and there was only one thought in her head, it turned out that she had done something wrong all along.
Zhang Wen continued, "Look at this man, he is the person you loved the most in your life, can you really bear to kill him?" ”
Zhou Xia raised her head and looked at the man she was very familiar with again, the fragments of her memory quickly pieced together piece by piece in her mind, and she suddenly wondered if she wanted to kill the person in front of her.
Zhang Wen persuaded softly, "Zhou Xia, in fact, your nature is not bad, now you are a ghost, you should believe in the cycle of cause and effect, maybe you have no fate in this life, you better reincarnate, if there is fate, maybe you will be together in the next life." ”
Daoist Lu had been listening to Zhang Wen's persuasion to Zhou Xia, and he was not in a hurry to do it, with a satisfied smile on his face. In fact, cleaning up a ghost is not a difficult thing with his current strength, and he also deliberately wants this apprentice to carefully watch him use spells, so that he can figure out the meaning of learning. Zhang Wen's calm performance has exceeded his expectations.
At this time, he saw a hesitant look on Zhou Xia's face, afraid that he would have a long night and many dreams, so he immediately took out the yin-yang mirror from his arms, quickly drew a talisman on the yin-yang mirror with his fingers, and raised the yin-yang mirror to Zhou Xia.
The bronze mirror is a tool that the Chinese people have firmly believed in effectively warding off evil spirits from ancient times to the present, and people believe that all the demons have nothing to hide in front of the bronze mirror, and this concept has lasted for thousands of years. Taoists believe that all objects other than humans, including plants, animals, stones, etc., can be cultivated into essence, and they can conjure up human forms to confuse mortals like ghosts, but they cannot be disguised in front of a mirror. As long as these goblins and ghosts are illuminated by the bronze mirror, they will show their original form, and the demon mirror in the ancient mythology of Huaxia Kingdom comes from this.
In ancient times, there were two bronze mirrors on the front and back of the armor of the warriors, which were called heart guards. His use is not only to protect himself from being injured by weapons, but also to avoid being harmed by goblins and ghosts.
Of course, the yin-yang mirror can become the magic weapon left by the Maoshan faction, and its effect is far from being comparable to the ordinary bronze mirror.
