Chapter 4 Suppressing Evil Spirits
As soon as I came to the gate of Zhang Yu's house, I heard the sound of crying inside, and the collision of tables and chairs from time to time, and the noise was endless.
"My dad was killed by someone, and he didn't look blind to death, and he cheated the corpse!" Zhang Yu said to my grandmother with trembling lips.
"Changyu, calm down." After my grandmother said a word, I led him to the mourning hall, while I clutched the back of my grandmother's clothes, my eyes rolling around.
All the people here have run out, and there are more than a dozen young men left, and there are only seven or eight old people at the door of the Zhang family's mourning hall, and when they saw Zhang Yu taking his grandmother into the mourning hall, they all stared at her grandmother and didn't know what she wanted to do.
After the grandmother stepped into the mourning hall, she took out a bag from the side of the suitcase, grabbed a handful of white powder, sprinkled it evenly at the door, and lit a few black incense sticks.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the old men at the door eased and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment I entered, I saw an old man wearing a shroud with a wrinkled face who grabbed a young man, opened his mouth and bit off a piece of meat from his neck, and then threw it aside.
With a bang, the young man hit the wall, almost fainted in pain, and the blood gushed out, and another young man quickly ran over, covering the neck of the injured man, and quickly treated.
The young people who dared to stay here all had a lot of strength, and they were related to Changyu, otherwise they would have fled a long time ago.
Grandma's hand touched her sleeve, took out a piece of blue rune paper, and began to mutter.
"Ghost passerby, yin and yang open, ghost road, hit the gods!" After reciting the incantation, Grandma shook the blue talisman between her fingers, and a yin wind blew, and a bull-headed general with a height of more than two meters came out.
I looked left and right, and found that no one else could see this bull-headed general, and he was still in a panic to arrest the old man who was swindling the corpse, it seems that what my grandmother said that I can see what others can't see is true.
Sou! Sou!
The bull-headed general waved the mace in his hand, the fangs in his mouth stretched out of the elder, and the two bull ears were draped next to his head, wearing the official uniform of the Yin Division, and quickly rushed towards the old man Zhang.
"Boom!"
Before the old man Zhang who was defrauding the corpse could react, he smashed a stick to the bull head and flew out, and the corpse smashed through the wall of the Zhang family's mourning hall with black smoke, and it didn't move after two bounces on the ground.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and then they became excited.
"Wow, grandma is amazing!" I excitedly tugged at the corner of my grandmother's clothes, full of admiration.
Grandma waved her hand, and the bull-headed general looked back at me, and the smoke dissipated.
"This, such a vicious method, is actually to be drained of the soul, and to control the ghost in the body, manipulate the corpse to kill all his relatives, this is the means of refining the blood corpse."
Grandma looked at the corpse on the ground, her face was very ugly, and her words were so low that only I could hear them.
"Everyone, help me carry the body to the coffin." Grandma looked around and commanded.
A group of young people from the Zhang family looked at each other, and a few of them had the audacity to carry the body into the coffin.
Grandma took out another piece of blue rune paper, muttered a few runes, and pasted the rune paper on the forehead of the old man's corpse, before ordering everyone to seal the coffin lid.
"Zhang Ping, you go and gather the people in the village, I have a few words to say." Grandma instructed a man in his fifties outside the door.
There are less than 20 households in the whole Zhangzhai, with a population of nearly 100, Zhang Ping is the steward in the village, with a high prestige and a high prestige, and he is also the director elected by the villagers.
Soon, all the people in the village came out one after another, looking at grandma one by one, not knowing what grandma was going to say.
Grandma glanced at the people in front of her, and said loudly: "Recently, the yin qi in the village has skyrocketed, and the anger has increased greatly, and there are people with unscrupulous intentions who want to destroy the entire village. β
As she spoke, Grandma took out a stack of yellow rune paper full of runes and handed it to Zhang Ping for him to distribute to everyone.
"In addition, tomorrow I will find a few young men to go to the town to buy eight blank stone tablets, and bury them separately according to the positions drawn on this piece of paper, at least one meter underground." Grandma took out a piece of yellow paper and handed it to Zhang Ping.
Grandma paused for a while, and then said slowly: "Everyone is an old man who moved to the village because of his admiration, if you believe in the old body, don't spread the things about the old body around, the times are different, and the things that the old body does are beyond science, and there is no way to give an official reasonable explanation." If someone brings right and wrong to the old body, don't blame the old body for leaving! Zhang Ping stayed, and the others dispersed. β
Grandma waved her hand to disperse the crowd, and then said to Zhang Ping: "Zhang Ping, you are also living here in seclusion to avoid vendettas, although the old body can protect your safety, but you also have to discipline the clansmen more." This time the matter is full of weirdness, is it that a junior offended the Xuanmen family outside, so that the enemy family took revenge on Zhang Junlin? β
"Lady Kong, you said that Zhang Junlin was killed by someone who had his soul sucked?" Zhang Ping was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Alas, the old body will never be mistaken, Zhang Junlin was drawn by someone, and the enemy was possessed by a powerful ghost, so there will be a deceitful corpse, intending to kill the entire village."
Zhang Ping was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said hesitantly: "Lady Kong, it may be that Zhang Junlin's son Zhang Yu is in trouble, because I heard that Zhang Yu went to the town the afternoon before yesterday, and today his father died for no reason. You'd better go back and rest first. β
"Don't worry, the old body still has to draw some runes to prevent the enemy from entering Zhangzhai and harming people, you come to my house tomorrow morning, and press the runes drawn by the old body under each stone tablet, and then I will engrave runes on the stone tablet, so as to prevent evil things from entering the village and prevent it from happening." After my grandmother finished speaking, she took me by the hand and went back home.
"Grandma, can you also teach me the spell of raising ghosts, and I will also be like you to do chivalrous righteousness and eliminate demons." I took my grandmother's hand and pleaded.
"No, you can't practice raising ghosts if you are unstable, and raising ghosts is a disaster, harming others and yourself. Celebrities and decencies call me the old devil, do you want to follow in the footsteps of your grandmother? Grandma only hopes that my granddaughter is safe and sound, and that she will not get involved in disputes. Grandma looked at me seriously and said.
"No, grandma, I must learn the spell of the ghost way, isn't that ghost still waiting for me to save it? How can I save him if I don't learn spells! I prayed as I shook the corner of my grandmother's clothes.
"Alas, don't think about it until you are fifteen years old, you don't even know a single big character, how can you learn spells?" Grandma sighed.
"But, grandma, didn't you finish elementary school either? You're so good, I'm sure I can too! β
"Don't talk about it again, until you're fifteen." My grandmother rejected me outright.
The next day Zhang Ping came to the ancestral house, grandma picked up the suitcase and followed Zhang Ping, before leaving, I did not forget to tell me not to run around, to stay at home. I guess I might have gone to do something to suppress evil spirits.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when I was hungry, that I saw my grandmother come back with a suitcase.
I found that my grandmother's body was a lot stiffer, and a burst of sadness surged into my heart, my grandmother is only seventy-two years old this year, and I heard my grandmother say that people who cultivate are basically 100 years old, but in order to change my life against the sky, my grandmother lost ten years of yang life at once.
"Grandmaβ" I ran over to pick up Grandma's suitcase, but Grandma stopped me.
"Good granddaughter, this suitcase is dead, you are too young to lift it for the time being. Are you hungry? Grandma brought you some of your favorite braised pork. β
Grandma said and took out a paper bag from her arms, and a smell of meat came to her nose.
"Wow, thank you grandma, it smells so good!" I opened the paper bag and nibbled on the braised pork.
"Grandma... In that box... What are they? So... I haven't been allowed to look at it for many years, but let me see it today! "I ate the meat and muttered about looking at my grandmother's box.
"You, your curiosity is too heavy, just like your grandfather, and you can't stop your mouth even if you eat meat." Grandma scolded me, but didn't mean to let me see the box.
β¦β¦
When I was eight years old, my parents came as promised, I looked at my grandmother who was lying on her back, crying and not following my parents to leave, my grandmother kindly hugged me and said: "Good granddaughter, you grow up, go and see the outside world, your life is destined to be wonderful, this is not the place where you should stop, let's go, let's go!" β
Before leaving, the grandmother said: "When you go to school, just look at the books that your grandmother left you, whether you learn or not, follow your own heart, and don't let evil thoughts affect your reason!" β
Then my grandmother whispered a few words to my parents, and I was carried by my father to the town.
In addition to studying, in order to understand those weird and unclean things, I began to be curious about the books left by my grandmother at a young age, and in the following years, I studied all her old books, and read a lot of new and wonderful methods for exorcism, ghost summoning, ghost raising, and even refining and recovering corpses.
Grandma knew I was studying hers, but somehow she didn't stop me.
But unfortunately, even if I knew about these strange techniques, I didn't have the opportunity to perform and verify them until I finished middle school and entered high school.
As for why, maybe it was because I didn't have a chance, or maybe it was because I used to have an omnipotent grandmother in my life, and now I have the warning of the ghost venerable who is connected to my fate, and it has become ancient, so I don't have a chance to use them.
However, the spells that should have been forgotten over time were forced to use them after the death of my grandmother, and I even caused a catastrophe and slipped into the gloomy profession known as the "Netherworld".
