Chapter 51: The Paper Crane Holds the Soul
After listening to the words of the Ninth Master, my heart was full of doubts, and I secretly thought: Could it be that he found something in this Taoist temple, otherwise how could he say that.
Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask him what would happen at night, because with the character of the ninth master, he would not explain things clearly in advance, and usually only said half a sentence.
"Ninth Master, I don't think their words can stand up to scrutiny, and they are full of loopholes."
The Ninth Master looked like he was willing to hear the details, and asked, "Tell me why?" ”
I thought for a while and said, "Do you think, that night by the dry well in our village, Qin Long and the others were easily defeated by Liu Ruoxue. Last night, even if they found a way to subdue Liu Ruoxue, how could they kill a person surnamed Hui halfway and form an alliance with them to deal with Liu Ruoxue. ”
Moreover, later, after the surnamed Gui put Liu Ruoxue into the sedan chair and let the sedan chair driver carry it away, Qin Long and the others stopped, and they didn't care where Liu Ruoxue went. This is obviously very contradictory to what they just said, they want to take Liu Ruoxue back and suppress it. ”
I said all the questions that came to my mind in one go.
The Ninth Master nodded while listening and said, "Thirteen, this is the reason why we came to Zhenwuguan today. Don't worry, we didn't come in vain this trip, senior brother, I will give you an explanation. ”
I hummed and asked him another question, whether Liu Ruoxue was a demon or not. From the first time Liu Ruoxue mysteriously appeared in my bedroom, I knew that she was not ordinary.
But she is not a ghost, because if she is a ghost, how can she still appear in broad daylight, and she can be caught and burned.
The ninth master told me with a solemn expression, "Liu Ruoxue is not a human, not a ghost, and a demon. ”
His words made me mutter: If Liu Ruo's snowman and ghost are not counted, then what kind of existence is she, it can't be a living corpse or a zombie.
"And what the hell is she?"
The Ninth Master said pretentiously: "Thirteen, didn't those cultural people say it, this woman is a book, and you need to interpret it yourself." ”
Without waiting for me to speak, the Ninth Master continued: "Moreover, some things are originally secrets, and if I tell you, I may reveal the secret of heaven. And leaking the heavenly secret, that is going to be a long life, do you want Senior Brother Nine to live a few years less. ”
At this moment, my heart can only be described by the word speechless!
Seeing that I was silent, the Ninth Master said meaningfully: "I know you really want to know what she is all about, but now, Senior Brother, all I can tell you is that her identity is very unusual. You can survive to this day because she protects you in secret. ”
Speaking of this, there was a strange expression on the face of the ninth master, and he felt that he was envious of me.
I said, "So, I'm so worried about her now, and I can't forgive myself if something happens to her." ”
The Ninth Master said, "Hmm! Count your boy as having a conscience and knowing how to repay the favor. ”
As we spoke, we had reached the foot of the True Martial Arts Temple.
At this time, there was still a period of time before it got dark, and after the Ninth Master and I left the Taoist Temple, I secretly thought to myself, or I would have walked around the county seat first.
I used to go to high school in the county, and after I was admitted to university, I rarely came to the county to hang out. Nowadays, the society is developing rapidly, and the small county town has undergone great changes.
Jiu Ye took me directly to a tie shop on the edge of the county, which was in an inconspicuous corner, but it was full of funeral supplies.
Outside the store, there are a lot of paper-tied cottages, paper-tied Daben, as well as TVs, computers, mobile phones, etc.
In addition to these, there are several paper figures, judging by their appearance, both men and women.
The owner, an old man in his sixties, was napping on a recliner when we arrived.
The ninth master walked over and knocked on the old man's shiny head.
The old man didn't open his eyes, and said directly: "Have you chosen something?" ”
The ninth master said: "It's chosen!" ”
As soon as he said this, the old man immediately opened his eyes and rose from the chaise longe.
The old man looked very excited, stood up and shook the hand of the ninth master and said:
"Ouch, Nine, Nine...... It turned out to be you, I really haven't seen your old man's dignity for many years. ”
The Ninth Master smiled and said, "Cripple Tian, you can do this business." ”
The old man in front of me was called Tian Cripple, and I couldn't help but think of Wang Dacai when he saw the five small lamps in the coffin and said that he wanted to find Tian Cripple to see if it was worth it.
I don't know if the lame man in Wang Dacai's mouth is the same person as this lame man.
Tian lame said: "Where is it, the rat licks the rice soup, barely enough to make a mouth!" ”
As he spoke, he dragged the ninth master into the house, and at this time I noticed that one of his feet was lame.
After taking two steps, he turned his head, looked at me with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Ninth Master, who is this little brother?" ”
The Ninth Master said: "My junior brother, Wu Thirteen! ”
Tian lame said: "Tut, it's amazing that you can become the junior disciple of the Ninth Master at a young age!" ”
This lame man is really a businessman, and when he talks one by one, both of them are praised by him.
I smiled at him and said, "I'm ashamed! You're getting too old to win! ”
As soon as we entered the house and sat down, Tian Cripple hurriedly asked his wife to make tea.
After a cup of tea, the ninth master said, "Tian lame, I came today to buy something from you." ”
Tian Cripple was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ninth Master, don't talk about buying things, what is there in my small store that you can see, you can take it casually!" ”
What he said sounded awkward to me, his shop was full of things that were burned for the dead, and he let the Ninth Master take it casually.
The Ninth Master smiled and said, "It's not that I don't like these things of yours, but they are useless, so you hurry up and make me a paper crane." ”
After listening to the words of the ninth master, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised in my heart, he came here to buy paper cranes.
Tian Cripple looked stunned and said, "Ninth Master, this thing is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, are you in a hurry?" ”
The Ninth Master nodded and said, "Before dark, I want to see the finished product!" ”
Tian Cripple thought for a moment, and then said firmly: "Since the Ninth Master is in urgent need, then I will rush it out for you no matter what." ”
The ninth master said: "Then hurry up and do it, and I'll come back to get it before dark." ”
Leaving the paper shop, I asked Jiu Ye what he was doing with the paper crane, and Jiu Ye said, "When I get the paper crane in the evening, you will know." ”
To be honest, it's really a bit magical to follow the Ninth Master to see these things of God and Shinto, I want to see what he does with that paper crane.
In the evening, when Jiu Ye and I went to Tian Cripple's shop again, he had already tied the paper crane.
The paper crane was about the same size as the real crane, and its lifelike appearance was a world of difference compared to the paper tied outside his shop.
The Ninth Master glanced at the paper crane and said to Tian Cripple: "Tian Cripple, your craftsmanship is really the same as it was back then." ”
Tian Cripple looked embarrassed and said: "The ninth master said that he laughed, I don't know whose soul the ninth master is going to use this paper crane on it this time?" ”
The ninth master said: "You just have to do a good job of this paper crane, you don't need to ask anything else, I won't say it if you ask, aren't you asking in vain." ”
Tian lame nodded again and again and said yes.
Immediately, the ninth master looked at me and said, "Thirteen, let's pay and leave." ”
Tian Cripple originally wanted not to collect money, but the ninth master told him that a gentleman does not lose money, and he must collect as much as he should collect.
Then, I spent five hundred-dollar bills for the crane.
After getting the paper crane, we also bought some incense and paper money at the lame shop.
The ninth master found a sparsely populated remote place, put the paper crane on the ground and stood on it, and then he lit three sticks of incense and handed them to me.
He asked me to hold the incense in both hands, raise it to the height of my eyebrows, stand in front of the crane, and then bow to the crane three times. I also let me recite in my own mouth: "The crane holds the soul, and the yin money opens the way!" ”
After I did this, the Ninth Master asked me to prick my finger and write my own birth date and name on the paper crane with the blood of my fingertips.
Immediately, the ninth master burned the paper crane, which made me wonder what the mystery was.
After that, we went towards the Zhenwuguan, and in a hidden place under the Zhenwuguan Mountain, the ninth master sat down on the spot and closed his eyes, and asked me to follow his example and sit cross-legged.
Although I didn't know what the purpose of this was, I still followed the appearance of the ninth master, sat down cross-legged and began to close my eyes to recuperate, and soon I felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and I lost consciousness unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, the ninth master suddenly called me next to me, saying that it was time to go to the True Martial Arts Temple, and I slowly woke up.
What made me a little strange was that my eyes seemed to be a little blurry, as if I had suddenly become nearsighted, but I could still see things clearly, just a little uncomfortable.
I quickly stood up, followed behind the Ninth Master, and walked on the path to the True Martial Arts Temple.
After walking for a while, I felt a little wrong, I felt that my body was light and my vision was up and down.
I quickly looked at my feet, only to realize that my feet were off the ground, people were floating, and my feet had turned into birds' feet.
I was so surprised that I hurriedly looked at my hand and saw that my hand had turned into wings.
"I'll ...... What's wrong with me! ", I exclaimed.
"Ninth Master, Ninth Master, how did I become a bird!"
The Ninth Master turned around and said, "Thirteen, your soul was cast by me and possessed by this paper crane. Don't be surprised, after we have explored the situation inside the True Martial Temple, we can return to the place where we meditated just now. ”
I was so amazed by his words that I wondered, "Am I out of my body?"
I'm still amazed at how much I've turned into a bird, and the door to the True Martial Arts Temple is right in front of us.
The Ninth Master said: "Wu Thirteen, from now on, no matter what you see, don't speak, you know!" Tonight, I took a risk to take your soul to sneak into the True Martial Arts Temple, and if they found out, the problem would be a bit serious. ”
After listening to the words of the ninth master, I didn't dare to say more, and I floated behind the ninth master.
We entered the Taoist temple and went directly to the outside of Xuan Zhenzi's house.
I heard the sound of talking inside the house, and the ninth master paused outside the house for a moment, and then went directly through the wall, which frightened me a lot.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but think: If such a powerful secret technique is learned by those bad people or perverts, then society is afraid that it will be chaotic.
With this in mind, I closed my eyes and slowly leaned towards the wall, afraid that I would be hit by the wall.
But to my surprise, the wall was like nothingness in front of me, and I was not hindered in the slightest, and the person had already arrived in Gen Zhenzi's room.
At this moment, Xuan Zhenzi was sitting and meditating under the wall of a portrait of a Taoist chief. The moment I saw Gen Zhenzi, I was afraid that he would see me, and I quickly wanted to find a place to hide.
And the ninth master is bold, he has already walked to the chair facing Xuan Zhenzi's left, sat down slowly, and then he beckoned to me and motioned for me to go over too.
I pointed at Gen Mako, and then pointed to my eyes, trying to express whether I would be seen by him.
After the ninth master waved his hand calmly, I walked over suspiciously.
I don't know what the Ninth Master is going to show me tonight, but I definitely won't come to see Xuan Zhenzi meditating and cultivating.
Sure enough, not long after we sat on the side, I saw Xuan Zhenzi suddenly smile and open her eyes.
