44. Trace

The cool breeze in the mountains and forests is refreshing.

Fortunately, we applied toilet water to our bodies in advance to avoid mosquito bites.

If it weren't for the ups and downs of the mountain road, Lao Zhang and I were a little out of breath, it would be a good walk in the shade.

Although a few of us were surrounded by a dead and desolate halfway up the hill, it was not a poor mountain and water that was inaccessible to people. The whole is still within the scope of the scenic area, so we never feel particularly scary.

What's more, Lao Zhang and I also have the experience of being taken on by a female ghost and being dragged to Chongxi, and walking a little wild road at night can only be regarded as a drizzle.

We didn't ask Beryoma if we found anything, we just followed along.

At this time, my mouth was a little dry after nibbling on the bread, did my Lao Zhang bring enough water, Lao Zhang took out a few cartons of milk, and one of us did a carton, thinking that nothing would happen, and I would find a place to pee as soon as my stomach rose.

"Uncle Ma, do you want to drink milk?" Lao Zhang asked.

In the moonlight, Beryoma turned around and made a shushing gesture, and we quickly silenced ourselves and tiptoed to him. I lowered my voice and asked, "Master, have you found anything?" ”

He nodded, motioning for us to turn off the flashlight and try not to make a sound. As we were told, he led us around the corner, out of the path, and crept into the woods.

After a while, he raised his hand and pointed to a bush halfway up the slope and whispered, "Something is wrong! ”

I followed the direction of his finger and wanted to shine the flashlight, but he hurriedly stopped me and said: "As the saying goes, 'be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years', don't startle the snake, let's take a look!" ”

I said, "Could it be some beast, bird, or something?" ”

Bei Longma said: "No, the old man has been looking for it all the way, and only here is where the two qi of yin and yang converge, and it is definitely not an ordinary bird or beast." If it must be said that it is a bird and a beast, it must be the kind that has some Taoism. ”

Lao Zhang said angrily: "Uncle Ma, do you have a fever?" Lang Lang Qiankun, you told us that there are birds and beasts? The state stipulates that after the founding of the country, monsters cannot become spirits, don't you know? ”

I said, "Lao Zhang, don't say a word now, if it's a goblin, what if it becomes a goblin before the founding of the People's Republic of China?" It's just that they have lived until now, and it's normal for goblins to live for thousands of years. ”

"This is a national 5A-level scenic spot!" Lao Zhang was not angry, and said in a low voice: "Can there be goblins in 5A-level scenic spots?" Boss Xu, you really don't have much contact with Uncle Ma, I feel like your head is in water. ”

We are still more than 30 meters away from that place, so we should not be able to hear it when we whisper. But at this moment, we saw at the same time, that bush, visibly and regularly, swaying.

Don't Ryoma became nervous and said, "Don't argue, the old man didn't say that it must be a goblin at the beginning, my personal judgment is more inclined to think that this is where the Ju Pozi's formation is." Be quiet, boy, and take out all your things. It's time for the teacher to make a big move! ”

Lao Zhang and I hurriedly put all the things he told us to take on the ground, and I dug out to find out that there were still a lot of things in my red plastic bag, including glutinous rice, grapefruit leaves, and a bunch of things we didn't know very well. I didn't expect that he would get so many things in the moment when he split up.

First of all, he asked us to take two grapefruit leaves, one on the front and one on the back of our trousers, to ward off evil spirits and protect ourselves.

Then we found that even the ash jar that Lao Zhang was carrying was not empty. At this time, Beryoma opened the lid, pulled it out from the inside, and mixed the powder into the glutinous rice.

I pinched my nose and said, "I thought it was just a sweet wine jar, you were scaring the driver and talking nonsense." What a columbarium? Isn't it, Master? With such a little effort, you're still stealing people's ashes? ”

"Stinky boy, don't follow all the nonsense, even if the old man wants to steal, where will he steal people's ashes in a while? Look, it's not ashes, it's incense ashes. He glared at me, "Don't say that the master didn't teach you in the future, as the saying goes, 'words are better than deeds', as the teacher is now carrying out situational immersion education for you, you must calm down, learn while watching, maybe you will be able to use these in the future." ”

"you, you just blow it, who learns this from you." Lao Zhang rolled his eyes.

Seeing that he had hollowed out the jar and mixed it with a bag of glutinous rice, he nodded at us.

He said to me, "I have a wound on my hand, and it's not convenient to operate, so wait a minute, you can take this cloth bag, and when I say 'disease', you can throw it all over there, understand?" ”

I nodded.

After speaking, he said to Lao Zhang: "You hold the altar in both hands, and when I finish scattering, you will face the mouth of the altar and recite a few mantras: 'The king of heaven is here, and all evils will be dispersed.'" The souls of the living are gone, and they are coming back quickly. ’”

He asked Lao Zhang: "Do you remember?" ”

Lao Zhang said: "Remember." ”

He also instructed, "There is also a piece of red paper, and when you feel the altar sink after reciting the mantra, immediately close the lid and paste the red paper on it." ”

Seeing Lao Zhang's ignorant face, he emphasized again: "This is a key step, and you must not be wrong!" Even if we break her evil spell after a while, if we lose our soul, we still won't be able to save that girl. Do you understand? ”

I added: "If that girl can't be saved if her soul runs, we will be killed by the third master, do you understand?" ”

Lao Zhang nodded seriously when he heard this, and said to Beilongma: "Uncle Ma, why don't you recite the spell twice." ”

Don't Ryoma almost vomited blood, just sixteen words, but he taught it patiently six or seven times, and Lao Zhang could recite it word for word.

Beryoma took a deep breath and said, "Okay, now let's prepare to go over, and all your actions are at my command!" ”

We followed him, trying to make as little noise as we could, and burrowed towards the thick bushes.

Seeing the bush two meters away, it seemed to sense our approach, and the bush was visibly not moving.

I had a bad heart, it must have been too many dead branches on the mountain, and the sound of our feet alarming each other. But just an altar that is arranged, will it also have a sense of the living? Or - that Granny Ju is now in the bushes, manipulating that altar?

If you really want to have a head-to-head showdown with that Granny Ju who has never met before, will I have two hits, is it enough?

The night breeze was cool, and I couldn't help but get nervous!

Beryoma, who was walking in front of me, suddenly burst out and shouted: "Bah! The Toadmen Heavenly Master is here! Demons! Don't be tied yet! Look at my Taoism, disease! ”

When I heard this 'boom', I hurriedly grabbed the bottom of the cloth bag and threw it out violently, and the effect was better than I expected, and the contents were like a net, scattered clean and even!

I was feeling complacent when I heard a ghostly scream from under the bushes!

My blood is cold when I hear it......

Lao Zhang was frightened by this howl and had a stress reaction, and his feet were about to slip, so Don't Ryoma scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Fast! Do it! ”
