Chapter 55: The Altar Opening Practice
Time passed quietly in the conversation between the two, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the night.
Niu boldly stopped talking, looked up at the sky, said "It's time" and walked to the altar.
The expression on Niu Daring's face standing in front of the altar has turned serious, and Xiao Yu who saw it was amazed, this Niu Daring would not have learned Sichuan to change his face, this face would change when he said it.
With a serious face, he lit the incense candle, held the incense in both hands, and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner in front of him, and then began to chant words in his mouth, and his hands kept making handprints.
With the bold movements of the cow, the originally calm seaside gradually hung a breeze, and the calm sea also rippled, and there was a sense of sacredness.
Xiao Yu watched it with relish, this was the first time he watched the Taoist priest open the altar, but he didn't expect it to be quite interesting.
At this time, Niu Dada's mouth did not stop, but his right hand picked up the token, and his feet also moved, Xiao Yu didn't know what kind of footwork he was stepping on, he only felt that the landing point was erratic, and every step on the ground was accompanied by a heavy sound of stepping on the ground, which was very strange.
After stepping on the step, the cow boldly held up the token and shouted, "The ghost door opens", Xiao Yu saw a blur in the void, and another scene appeared like a picture scroll.
The scene in the scroll is a huge city, the city wall is as black as ink, with the word 'Xudu' on it, and the city gate is guarded by two tall figures, the figure is not a few feet tall, a horse-faced human body, holding a meteor hammer, a bull-headed human body, holding a huge token, all staring at the ghosts of the past, motionless.
It turned out to be an image of the capital city of the underworld.
At this time, Niu boldly returned to the altar, grabbed the brush, and quickly drew a talisman with the pen and snake, holding the middle finger and index finger, chanting words in his mouth, and shouting "go".
The talisman turned into a streamer of light and flew into the air, and the picture in the picture changed with it, skimming over countless eerie images before freezing on a group of people in coarse linen clothes and drenched all over.
It's just that these people's faces are purple, and all of them show anxious looks, and a trace of hideousness flashes on their faces from time to time, and there is a tall figure holding a chain, a horse-headed human body, and wearing armor on the side.
Xiao Yu guessed that these were the drowned fishermen, and that figure was the legendary horse face, but he didn't expect that this cow was bold and really had some skills, and he could communicate yin and yang.
It's just that this horse face is much smaller than the horse face at the city gate, and the chain in his hand is also a chain instead of a meteor hammer, I don't know what the connection is.
Niu Daring was also relieved to see this picture, and it was good to find the main master, and said loudly, "Today's Fang Cun disciple Niu Daring is entrusted by others to pass away from the ghost." ”
After speaking, he picked up the brush and wrote something on a piece of yellow paper, Xiao Yu couldn't see it clearly because of the angle.
Niu boldly finished writing and stopped writing, grabbed the French seal on one side and covered it on the paper, and the paper automatically floated to the scroll, Xiao Yu was shocked when the paper fluttered, and saw the word 'pardon' written on the top of the paper.
I saw that the pardon actually floated into the hands of the Yin soldier Ma Mian, Ma Mian looked down at the pardon, and then glanced at Niu Daring meaningfully, so he took the chain in his hand and left.
Seeing this scene, Niu boldly smiled, knowing that the most difficult step had been completed, since this Yin soldier had already sold him this face, as long as they eliminated the resentment of those who drowned, they could be reincarnated as human beings.
It's just that I want to go back and tell the old grandson to build a temple for the Yin soldier in this East Bay and enjoy the incense of the East Bay to repay the favor of the Yin soldier. Uh, ghostly.
Pick up the Xin drum on the altar, sit down cross-legged, and recite the sutra while tapping. There is a unique charm in it.
Xiao Yu was also amazed when he saw all this, he really didn't expect that there was really a netherworld in this world, and there were people who could communicate with the underworld, and his former self was really sitting in a well and watching the sky.
As the bull boldly recited the scriptures for longer and longer, the faces of those who died in vain in the picture became more and more serene, and the anxious and hideous color on the previous faces gradually disappeared.
Although this picture is very boring, Xiao Yu still sees it with relish, time passes quietly in this excess, and in a blink of an eye, the moon is already slanting westward, and the east is already white.
Niu boldly stopped tapping, and the scriptures that had been in his mouth for half the night also stopped anxiously, and the ghost's face was no longer a trace of anxiety, and they bowed boldly to Niu in unison.
Niu boldly smiled, raised the token in his hand, and the painting ticket that had existed overnight slowly disappeared. Xiao Yu, who had watched the drama all night, also stepped forward at this moment, slapped his palms, and said in his mouth, "Wonderful, wonderful, the Taoist chief is worthy of being called the first disciple of the square inch, and he can actually command the Yin soldiers." ”
Xiao Yu is sincere praise, he didn't expect this sloppy Taoist priest to have such a ability, communicate yin and yang, pardon yin soldiers, and surpass the soul, Xiao Yu actually had a feeling of shock, and his tone also brought honorifics, not Niu Daoist, Niu Daoist called.
"Where, where, these are Xiao Doyle" Niu boldly said lightly, in fact, he smiled bitterly in his heart, the bullshit drove the Yin soldier, but the Yin soldier he met was easy to talk to, and he just sold him a face.
These are all customary rules, the Yin soldier gives him a convenience, he needs to build a temple for the Yin soldier, collect incense, if the Yin soldier ignores him, he has nothing to do.
"Dao Chief, can you answer a few doubts for you" Xiao Yu lowered his posture and began to ask about the doubts in his heart this night.
"You say, this Taoist must tell you everything you know" Niu Daring was also very happy, and he agreed to save him at that time.
"The picture shown by the Taoist chief is really a ghost town in the capital of Xudu?" Xiao Yu threw out the first question,
"Yes, that is the jurisdiction of the King of Jizo, there are ten halls of Yama, judges, black and white impermanence, and the ghost city of the drunken capital of the bull-headed and horse-faced clan" Niu boldly replied very simply.
"The bull-headed horse-faced clan? Isn't the bull head and horse face referring to a certain person? Xiao Yu seized the loophole in Niu Dada's words and hurriedly asked.
"Of course not, in the ghost city of Xudu, the master is the king of Jizang, under the jurisdiction of ten halls of Yama, countless judges, black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face is the general name of the ghost of the underworld, divided into the bull head clan and the horse free clan, if it is only two people, how to manage this vast number of ghosts?" Niu Dada's words were that Xiao Yu was shocked, he thought that Niu Tou Ma Mian was just two people, but he didn't expect it to be two races.
"The main duty of the two clans is to hook souls?" Xiao Yu continued to ask
"Hooking the soul and guarding the underworld belong to the responsibility of the bull head and the horse face, the soul of the horse face is holding a chain, and the guard horse face is holding a meteor hammer, when the soul is hooked, it is the horse face with a chain lock to take a team of ghosts to escort behind, and the bull head holds a token to open up the channel. And the group of the two races is quite similar, so the folklore has become a bull head and a horse face, and it is two people," Niu said boldly and patiently.
