Chapter 3 Monster Hunting in Wei Mansion
There were two old mothers sitting on the pestle at the door of the embroidery building, probably because Wei Yuanwai was afraid that something would happen to the young lady, so they asked them to guard here. Seeing that we were coming, he quickly stood up, and one said, "Master, Miss has been sleeping, and she can't wake up without eating or drinking." ”
"Alright, you guys stay guard outside," Wei Yuanwai instructed a few family members.
Push open the door and enter the house, the house is still very clean. I smelled a strange smell, like the fishy smell of silt in the river, Miss Wei was lying on the bed, covered with a thin silk quilt, her eyes were closed and she seemed to sleep very soundly, but her face was sallow, and her forehead was faintly black, but it seemed that the demon was not good, and she did not break Miss Wei, Miss Wei is still a virgin now, although I don't know what the specific demon is, but I must have been fascinated by the demon, I went around the house, and saw that the back window was a little strange, and there were obvious traces of climbing in and out of the window sill, It seems that this demon path has not yet reached the point of no trace and no trace, although it is the first time for me to catch demons alone, but when I was in Laoshan before, I followed the master to catch monsters such as mountain charm tree spirits in the deep mountains, so I am not afraid, and I have a number in my heart.
"Wei Yuanwai, Miss is indeed fascinated by demons, Xiaodao will catch demons for you tonight, but you still have to prepare something for me." "Okay, good, good, just say what the Taoist needs to do." Wei Yuanwai said busily.
"A black dog, kill it for blood and set it aside, a peachwood stick 20 feet long, sharpened at both ends, and get it done. All plugged in under the rear window. Find 10 more young and strong lads and prepare a large fishing net, which and peach sticks should be soaked in black dog blood. ”
I asked Wei Yuanwai to bring cinnabar, wrote a few exorcism charms, pasted around the young lady's bed, except for the back window, every window and door was pasted with charms, and when it was ready, I asked the family to find a bell and tie it to the back window, so that once the monster came, the bell would ring, and we were ready to catch the demon, put the charm well, and turned around to see that there was no problem, and Wei Yuanwai led us to the front hall.
After being busy for a while, it was not early, Wei Yuanwai asked people to prepare dinner, Wei Yuanwai accompanied the two of us to eat, I took Wang Jinhuai to an empty house next to the young lady's room, and the ten housekeepers and black dog blood were also in it, as well as the fishing nets soaked in black dog blood, and I explained that it was a family member who should pay attention to the matters. Then sit on the chair, obsessed with eyes and rest, busy for most of the day is really a little tired, it is estimated that the monster will come out at about ten o'clock at the earliest, so I sat and squinted for a while, to about ten o'clock, I heard the bell remember, I called a few family members up, holding the fishing net, I took the black dog blood, came to the back window. Because I pasted charms around the lady's bed, the monsters couldn't get by, only listened to the chaotic sound of the tables and stools in the room, probably in a rage, I handed the basin containing the blood of the black dog to Wang Jinhuai, and asked him to wait for the monster to come out and splash it out, and after splashing, he used a fishing net to block the window. After explaining this, I pulled out the peachwood sword on my back and jumped into the house. ,
The room was dark because there was no light, as soon as it landed, I felt the old fishy smell coming to my nose, I stabbed the peach wood sword forward, only to hear, ah, a black shadow floated to the window, I stabbed the peach wood sword to the black shadow, but unfortunately it floated too fast and did not stab, I shouted: "Splash the black dog blood," maybe it was nervous, Wang Jinhuai, most of the black dog blood in that basin was splashed on me, and it was only a little bit on the monster, but it also had an effect, the black shadow actually fell, Below is the peach stick I inserted, after the monster fell, let out a few screams, the few people with fishing nets were scared away, when I came out, I saw the black shadow floating in the direction of the pond, I chased it closely, to the pond, only to hear a plop. The shadow fell into the water. At this time, Wang Jinhuai also followed, "Hurry up and ask Wei Yuanwai to find someone to come over and make more lanterns." "I said, after Wang Jinhuai went, I didn't dare to leave, and the few scared away family members also came over at this time, anyway, things are already like this, and I can't blame them.
After a while, Wei Yuanwai came over with a lantern, and Wang Jinhuai had already told him what had just happened, "I'm sorry, Dao Chief, they were all scared by that monster, you see that the monster has run away now, what should I do." ”
I say
"Since this is the case, there is no way, the monster is already injured, and he can't run, it's in the pond, everyone shouldn't sleep tonight, light more torches and lanterns around the pond, tomorrow you go and hire more people, buy all the quicklime that can be bought in the county, I already have a way to catch him."
Look at my robe, dirty and dirty by Wang Jinhuai's basin of black dog blood. Wei Yuanwai said: "Daoist, go and rest with Mr. Wang, your clothes are also dirty, I will ask someone to change your clothes, and I will arrange for someone to watch here." Saying that, Wei Yuanwai called Wei An over, "You go and take the Taoist and Mr. Wang to the guest room." ”
Following Wei An to the guest room, Wang Jinhuai apologized vigorously, "I'm sorry, I'm nervous, and I'm a little off." I said, "It's all right, wash up and go to bed." ”
The next day, just after dawn, I got up and washed up. When I came to the pond in the backyard, I saw Wei An and more than a dozen people by the pond, Wei An saw me coming over, and greeted him busily, "Dao Chief, you got up so early, I asked someone to prepare a meal for you." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang is still sleeping, I'll come over and see if there's any movement here."
"There was nothing to do all night, and the young lady woke up, and the lord and the lady were talking to the young lady in the young lady's room, do you want me to call the master over for you."
"Forget it, I'm just coming over to take a look, it's hard to haven't slept all night, you go to eat some food and rest, and you will go to prepare quicklime and find more people to help, with the guy who carries water, I'm here to watch."
At eight o'clock, Wei Yuanwai and Wang Jinhuai all came over, and Wei An brought more than 40 sturdy young men, as well as several truckloads of quicklime.
"A group of five people, dig a ditch and drain it outside, and when half of it is drained, pour the quicklime down, and Wei An will go to buy lime, these are less." After arranging them, I sat next to them, drinking tea and watching them fetch water.
The pond is about 30 meters long and about 35 meters wide. In less than two hours, the water in the pond had gone down halfway, so I asked them to stop for a while and poured all the quicklime down, only to see that the pond was steaming, and the water was flooded with bubbles of quicklime oxidation in water, and when all were poured, the sky above the pond was already steaming, and there were many dead fish floating on the water.
After a while, Wei An shouted, "Dao Chief, come and see, there's something floating inside." "When we all came to the pond, we saw a big turtle floating in the water, about one and a half meters in diameter, which seemed to be dead, floating motionless in the water. I asked Wei An to find a small boat, and the two of them rowed to the middle of the pond, and pushed the big turtle with a wooden stick to the shore, and when they reached the shore, four young men went down, tied the big turtle with a rope, and carried it to the shore.
"It's the first time I've seen such a big turtle, and I've probably lived for many years." "I said it must have been more than a thousand years, you see this turtle cover is all black., don't bet." A few people next to him looked at the big turtle and guessed how many years this turtle had lived.
I think this animal can become a demon, either this place is not a treasure of feng shui, or it is a Jedi with very poor feng shui, but from the perspective of geography and the surrounding environment of the pond, there is nothing surprising, is it that this thing cultivates itself into a demon, no, I must see what the reason is, I asked Wei Yuanwai to tell those families, continue to pan for water, until the bottom.
