Chapter 9: Fighting the Evil Spirits
I got dressed, took the charm that my grandfather had left for me from under the table, and hurriedly hailed a taxi at the intersection to rush to the temple where Wu Ping was.
The cold wind of the night blew my face through the car window, and for a moment I was in a trance, haunted by ghosts, the unexpected death of my father, the secrets told by my grandfather's departure, all kinds of things hit my mind.
"Isn't it cold? Lad. ”
The driver said and rolled up the window for me.
"Thank you, master, it's okay, please drive faster, I'm in a hurry..."
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Wu Ping and a group of monks pushing and shoving in front of the temple gate, and there was no need to think that the monks were expelling Wu Ping.
"Master, don't drive me away, you listen to me, you can't burn him! Listen to me! ”
"Still listen to you? It's nonsense! If it weren't for you, how could our host have passed away, get out immediately, our temple doesn't welcome you! ”
As they spoke, seeing that there was a battle formation, I immediately trotted forward to relieve the siege.
"Rest easy."
All the monks and Wu Ping looked at me one after another.
"Master, you're here."
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Wu Ping staggered to me in two steps and three steps, and the monks saw that Wu Ping knew me, and their eyes immediately turned from doubt to anger, and that look was as if I had killed the monk with my own hands, but I could still understand their feelings.
"Yes." I'll stabilize my momentum for the time being, and let Wu Ping go behind me first.
A young monk at the head stamped forward, "Young man, it seems that you know this person, this temple does not welcome dirty people!" I advise you to take this person away quickly, otherwise we will not be welcome. ”
"What does the master agree to say? My friend just recruited some ghosts, you don't need to drive away guests like this, do you? ”
"Humph! What do you mean by nothing more? Do you know that the ghost you called him killed our host! ”
The monk retorted angrily, as if he had heard something unreasonable, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, if they worked for Wu Pingbai, I would understand, but they didn't work for nothing, but they received incense money in the name of it.
"Oh, I heard that your host received 100,000 yuan of incense money from Mr. Wu Ping, as the saying goes, if you receive people's money, you should eliminate disasters for others, is it possible that the masters don't know this truth? Or did you just want to cheat Mr. Wu Ping's money and then stop it? Could it be that your temple is specifically engaged in these things that damage the face of Buddhism? ”
At my suggestion, the young monk had just opened his mouth when a slightly older white-bearded monk grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.
"The little donor is really articulate."
The old monk folded his hands and faced me, squinting and smiling, and I couldn't see any emotion.
"Awards, awards."
I folded my hands together and replied.
"I think the little donor seems to have some Taoism, could it be that there is a way to deal with the Yin Spirit?"
"It's not a Tao, but these things are like ants to me, if it's convenient, I'll go in and expel the yin spirit."
In this case, I have to pretend to be calm, otherwise I will only be expelled by the monks and Wu Ping, I am not afraid, but this Wu Ping can't afford to provoke the yin spirit, as the so-called hands are short and eat people's mouths are soft.
"Hahaha, it's really a young man who is a hero, but why should I believe in you, the little benefactor?"
Hearing the old monk say this, I slowly took out the charm that my grandfather gave me from my pocket, although the old monk has not attained the high way, but the mysterious and complex spell marks on the charm can be seen by the naked eye to make the old monk's face appear surprised.
"Could it be that this young man really has some skills? This spell doesn't look that simple! ”
"Now that this yin spirit has been entangled in the temple, it is better to let this little benefactor give it a try, and the dead horse will be a live horse doctor."
Suddenly, all the monks talked and discussed for a long time, "Okay, you two can come in with me." ”
Subsequently, Wu Ping and I followed the old monk into the temple, and when I walked into the temple, I did not feel the cold breath.
"Strange, could it be that this Yin Spirit is not here? Or hide your own breath. ”
"Master, I'm so scared, I've been seeing that ghost these days, he said he wanted me to die, but he didn't attack me, it must be the sachet you gave that worked, this time you must destroy him..."
Wu Ping was chattering on the side, arguing very upset, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, my skills were still too bad, and I didn't know if my grandfather's charm could take down this yin spirit.
"Okay, don't say it, I'm prepared, I have a bottom in my heart."
While comforting Wu Ping, these words were also said to the old monk, and by the way, he encouraged himself.
"Young man, the host was in our main temple when he passed away, what are you going to do?"
"Go and prepare some red cloth and white candles, and then you can go and rest."
The old monk instructed the other monks to help me get these things, and then they all went back to rest.
Wu Ping and I were left in the main temple.
"Aren't you going to rest for a while?" I looked at Wu Ping, who was nervous next to me.
"No, no, no, I don't want to leave your side, I want to fight evil spirits with you!"
Looking at Wu Ping, who had a sincere face on the surface, his heart trembled for a while, I don't know if he was afraid that he would not be safe to stay, or if he really wanted to help me, but in fact, it was useless to ask him.
"Okay, you can help me set these white candles and support them at the bottom with a red cloth."
This is a simple formation taught to me by my grandfather, it has the effect of summoning spirits and subduing demons, the liquid produced by the burning of white candles overflows and drips on the red cloth, which can cover the righteous qi of the red cloth, wait for the yin spirit to come in, blow all the candles to sleep, and then knead the solid on the red cloth into powder, sprinkle it in the air to calm the yin spirit for a while, and then I will use my grandfather's charm to defeat it. ”
Soon, Wu Ping and I set up the formation, and waited for the Yin Spirit to throw itself into the net.
"Master, how sure are you?"
"Fifty percent." I said these two words lightly.
"Huh? Fifty percent? I thought I had to have an eighty or ninety percent certainty, how could it be fifty percent? ”
"Humph! You're to blame! Don't do what I say, now this yin spirit is deeply resentful, I came to help you this time, it's completely hard-headed, if you surrender the yin spirit this time, you don't have to contact me in the future, but this time it's not successful, neither of us wants to live. ”
Wu Ping's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "grunt", "Master, if there is anything to do, just tell me, I... I don't want to die. ”
I glanced at Wu Ping with disdain, stopped talking, and sat down to recuperate. Wu Ping saw that I was in a state, and he stopped talking, and sat down a meter away from me.
The night passed.
"Master? It's dawn, and this... Why hasn't this yin spirit shown up yet? ”
"It won't come, it's dawn at this time, and the righteousness of this early morning is what it fears."
"Hahaha! You have to be a master! It must be because of you that this little ghost is scared! The master is really good! ”
"I don't think it's that simple, this yin spirit is not afraid of me."
"Huh? This..."
Before Wu Ping finished speaking, his mobile phone rang.
"Hello? What's wrong wife? ”
"Husband, husband, come back soon, the child is gone! Woooooo
"What? The child is missing? You wait for me, I'll go back right away! ”
"This yin spirit is not looking for you, but it has found your house, don't worry, let's go together."
Wu Ping didn't listen to what I said, he pulled up his feet and ran out, I followed Wu Ping all the way back to their house, and arrived after a while, I saw that Wu Ping's house was not far from the temple, no wonder he could find a temple so quickly.
"Ding Dong"
"Husband!"
Wu Ping's wife cried as soon as she opened the door.
"Don't worry, wife, tell me what's going on."
"Last night, Xiaoqiang didn't come back after five o'clock, usually play until four o'clock and come back, I wondered if the child was playing wild, I didn't care but it was seven o'clock, I haven't come back, I feel that something is wrong, I went downstairs to find the child, as a result I found him in a forest behind the community, he was in a trance, his face was pale, I asked him what he was doing here, he didn't tell me, I had to take him home, he just sat when he got home, I had no choice but to massage his temples to let him relax, The child fell asleep after a while, and I thought it was okay, so I carried him into the house and let him sleep on his own, but who knows, this morning I woke him up, only to find that he was gone! The doors and windows are locked, and it doesn't look like he went out on his own. ”
