Chapter 11: The Dark Shadow on the Rooftop
After the evening self-study, Brother Cao, who returned to the dormitory, discussed with a few people to call a few people to teach the dead fat man a lesson, so that he could know what the consequences of being disrespectful to our teacher Pan Yu were.
They asked me if I would be interested in participating. I shook my head and told them that it was best not to touch the fat man these days, because something might happen.
Then I went out with the things I had bought in the old town, and before leaving, I glanced at the new classmate who was lying on the bed, holding a book of Nalan Xingde's words in his hand.
I borrowed it from him another day to take a look, and I also like to read Nalan Xingde's words.
With that in mind, I went straight to the top floor of the dormitory.
There are six floors in the boys' dormitory, and in the corridor further up the sixth floor, there is a simple iron staircase, and at the end of the staircase is a steel cover, which is usually locked, but there is no lock.
So I easily pushed it out of the way, and climbed up with both hands and feet.
Once inside, I went into the water room, which was lined up with several neat pipes, which controlled all the water sources in the boys' dormitory.
The room was not big, but there was also a light, but I didn't dare to turn it on. Instead, he took out a lighter and lit the candle that had been prepared earlier. By the faint light of the candle, I placed the things in my hand neatly on the floor.
After doing this, I gently pushed open the door and observed, and then pricked up my ears to listen carefully to the movement downstairs. After confirming that no one would come up, preparations began.
There was no table in the house, so I had to move out the few cement bricks I used last time and build a simple offering table. Then he took out half of the potato cut from the middle and put it in the middle, bowed respectfully in all directions three times, and then lit three incense sticks on the potato. Since there was no incense burner, it was enough to make do with it.
Then prepare the brush, cinnabar, and cut yellow paper one by one. The next thing is to wait, wait for an optimal time slot. Generally speaking, the success rate of drawing talismans at the time of the transition of yin and yang is the highest during the day, and although it is not impossible at other times, I still feel that I don't care about waiting a little longer thinking about these things that I have one hundred and eight.
Fortunately, the high school self-study did not end until ten o'clock in the evening, and it didn't take long for it to reach eleven o'clock, which was the time of the handover of yin and yang.
I slowly straightened up, my breathing tightened, and my left hand instantly formed a seal, while my right hand pinched the finger of the sword when the left hand seal was finished. As he stepped on his feet, his lower abdomen jerked in, and he recited the incantation in a light but majestic tone.
Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is scattered, the cave is mysterious, and the sun is too yuan. The eight directions are mighty, and they make me natural. Lingbao talisman, proclaimed for nine days; Gan Rodana, Dong Gang Taixuan; Kill demons and restrain evil, and save thousands of ghosts. Zhongshan mantra, the first jade text, recited once, but the illness prolonged; According to the five mountains, the eight seas know and hear; The demon king binds his hands and guards my Xuan; The ferocity dissipates, and the Tao Qi remains. Haste as a law.
This is the Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra, and the function of reciting the Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra before drawing the talisman is to purify the world and purify the mind, so as to achieve the goal of successfully inviting God.
Then began the most crucial step, I didn't dare to be distracted, took a deep breath, and then pinched my fingers and recited the incantation—the Water Spell.
This water is extraordinary water, the northern non-decanic water.
A little in the inkstone, the clouds and rain must come.
The sick swallow it, and all diseases are eliminated.
The demon swallows it and crushes it instantly.
Urgency is like the law of the Three Qi Emperors.
After the spell was finished, I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly opened the lid of the mineral water that was set aside, and carefully poured it into the small porcelain bowl next to it, which contained the cinnabar I had prepared earlier.
After the movement, my left hand quickly sealed again, and at the same time, my right hand pinched the fingers of the sword, and recited the inkstone mantra again.
The Jade Emperor has an edict, the divine inkstone is in all directions, the gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the divine inkstone is lightly grinded, and the thunderbolt is light, and it is as urgent as the law.
Then there is the Ink Mantra:
The Jade Emperor has an edict, and the ink is hot
It is shaped like a cloud and mist, and there are nine stars on it
Divine ink grinding, thunderbolt disputes
Haste as a law!
Spell Extraction:
The magic pen waved the protection of the gods, so as to tranquil the demons and subdue the evil spirits, I was ordered by the Taishang Laojun, and I was as urgent as the law.
When I finished taking the pen, I pointed my right hand at the brush on the table, and then put my middle finger and ring finger on the pen body three inches, and then slightly calmed down, and then the other three fingers suddenly bent inward and pinched the tip of the pen. After taking a deep breath, he lifted the pen neatly. At the same time, the incantation was recited in his mouth.
Cast a penmantra
The sky is round and the place is round, and the law is nine chapters. I write now, and ten thousand ghosts are hidden.
Once the next mantra is recited, it means that I am completing the most critical step of the drawing, and if there is a slight mistake in it, it means that all the previous work has been lost.
I decided to make the first talisman something challenging, and with my current ability, the most powerful talisman I can draw can only be the Five Thunder Talisman, so I want to try it.
With this thought in mind, every stroke of the Five Thunder Talismans came to mind, and I followed the brush. At the same time, a long list of incantations was repeated one after the other, from the head of the charm to the foot of the charm.
Qianyuan is overcast, and Xuanyun is unbiased.
Creation and development, all kinds of materials.
East, west, north and south, any peace.
The clouds and rain are unpredictable.
I am as anxious as the law!
A stroke comes to the hand, the gods protect and help, the gods and ghosts are avoided, and I am as urgent as the law in the edict of the Taishang Laojun.
Open the gate of heaven to kill ghosts, open the road to the underworld to kill ghosts, and be as urgent as a law.
The left rotates the heaven and the earth, the right rotates the sun and the moon, a horizontal division of mountains and rivers, a sword to calm the world, a little ghost and god fright, a hook to cure the goblin, urgent as a law.
There are not many Taoist laws, Nanchen irrigates the North River, writes three or seven numbers, drives out the demons in the world, and is as urgent as the law.
The pen followed with a spell everywhere, and it was not until the footsteps were drawn that I gently put the pen away and let out a long breath.
But that doesn't mean you're done, it's the last step, and if every step before you is important, then the last step is the most important.
Please God.
Once again, I made a seal with my left hand, and my right hand pinched the finger of the sword, the only difference this time was that while I was doing this series of movements, the steps on my feet had to be exactly in line with the printing and distribution of my left hand.
Five thunders and five thunders, step by step, I am wearing gold armor, wearing a purple gold helmet, five thunders together, five thunders are mighty, every day opens, every earth is cracked, those who follow me live, those who oppose me die, the six stars of the South Dipper, the seven stars of the Big Dipper. I am as anxious as the law!
As the spell ended, so did the movements on my hands and feet.
Then I held the pen in my right hand, and with a beautiful pen turn, I turned the pen upside down and slammed the talisman three times.
Knock, knock, knock.
Whew··· Call it a day.
Looking at this perfect work lying quietly on the table, I thought to myself: whether it is a symbol or a paper, it will soon be clear.
I was inexplicably a little nervous. I carefully picked it up and let out another breath before taking a closer look at the breath.
No way.
"It's finished"
It seemed that it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, and this voice was actually shouted out unscrupulously. However, I immediately realized where I was, and hurriedly subconsciously covered my mouth.
It doesn't work, but it seems like everyone does.
Luckily, no one noticed, so I continued to draw talismans.
With the first great success, I suddenly doubled my confidence, and I thought that this kind of talisman would come to him again.
It's a pity that I thought too much, and after seven or eight failed attempts, I was able to succeed in another one, thinking that even if the success rate was so low, I could afford to draw the third Five Thunder Talisman.
But after the fifteenth failure, I gave up.
Eggs can't be sent in one basket, and exorcism charms and eye-opening charms must be there anyway.
Especially the eye-opener, I won't be as stupid as last time.
In the end, I used up all the materials, and my equipment had two five thunder charms, seven eye-opening charms, and twelve exorcism charms.
Yes, yes, this kind of equipment is a local tyrant compared to before. I patted my bulging trouser pocket and smiled in satisfaction.
After doing this, I cleaned up the water room and walked out. But just as I was about to lift the lid and go down, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a humanoid figure on the roof of the girls' dormitory opposite.
The boys' dormitories and girls' dormitories are built side by side, and there is not much distance between them, so I can see that if I had been able to run long distances, I would have been able to jump directly from the roof of the boys' dormitory to the roof of the girls' dormitory. Of course, if there's a bunch of machetes chasing my ass in the back.
Seriously, if it were you in this situation, how would you feel, anyway, my back was numb for a while, and my scalp exploded in an instant, subconsciously, really, I suddenly remembered the little girl in the grove.
Almost reflexively, I pulled out all the guys in my trouser pockets in an instant, and I didn't care how many I dropped on the ground, and I was about to start chanting the incantation.
It's just that after all, experience and age are there, and my mind is blank for a while, and those things that I usually know by heart are suddenly forgotten, I don't know whether my legs are shaking or my hands are shaking, as if my whole body is shaking and what should not be shaking.
I turned my head and saw that the figure didn't seem to notice me, just standing on the edge of the fence on the top of the building, not knowing where to look.
Fortunately, I calmed down a little and looked at it carefully. Actually, my first reaction was to run, but to be honest, I was really scared, so that although my first reaction was to run, my uncle's legs were like he ran first, and he just didn't obey the call.
But after taking such a closer look, I found that the humanoid shadow became more and more familiar the more I looked at it, but it was definitely not the little girl's, because the little girl didn't have such a slender figure.
Besides, it seems to be a decent person. For under the faint moonlight, there was a shadow of the humanoid figure lying on the ground. Hey, uncle, scare yourself.
When I noticed this, my legs seemed to be back, so I let them carry me a little closer in that direction.
Now I can see clearly, it is indeed a person, and it is also the person I have been thinking about for a long time, yes, it is Xie Min.
The sense of crisis was gone, and my whole body relaxed in an instant, but then I wondered, how could Xie Min stand on the roof of the building in the middle of the night.
"Thanks..."
I was about to call her, and I immediately realized the environment I was in. So he moved a little closer, almost clinging to the fence.
"Xie Min, why are you here?"
I asked her in a whisper. But she didn't hear me, as if she had something on her mind, so I raised the volume as best I could.
"Xie Min..."
She was still the same dumbfounded. Something suddenly occurred to me, and I reflexively staggered back a few steps. At the same time, he took out the eye-opening charm and recited the eye-opening mantra.
The law of heaven is clear, the law of the earth is spiritual, the yin and yang are refined, the water spirit is manifested, the spiritual light is taken by the water, the heaven reaches the earth, the law is pursued, the yin and yang law mirror, the true form is quick, the true form is quickly appeared, and I am in the edict of the ancestors of the three Qingdao Daoists.
After opening my eyes, I looked over again, and at the same time held the five thunder talismans in my hands, ready to attack at any time. But what I didn't expect was that Xie Min couldn't see the slightest abnormality on her body, and I even carefully observed her surroundings a few times, and there was no trace of yin qi.
This? Is it schizophrenia? Or sleepwalking?
I'm dumbfounded, what's going on? But just when my mind was full of speculation, Xie Min actually moved. I saw her turn to look at me, but she just glanced at me so lightly, her face was expressionless, and even her eyes were empty, I didn't know if she was looking at me or where she was looking.
He glanced at it lightly, and then went down on his own. I wanted to call her, and I remembered what the old man in the village had said, that sleepwalkers cannot be woken up, otherwise they will be stupid when they wake up. Although I haven't verified it myself, and I haven't heard of this situation around me, for the sake of safety, I still didn't do anything more, just watched her go down quietly.
In her case, I couldn't see anything unusual when I opened my eyes, and I really didn't want to come up with any other reason than to blame it on sleepwalking. yes, it's all to blame on that little girl, it's making me more and more nervous. Also, how can there be so many gods and ghosts in this world, Lao Tzu has grown so big, haven't you only seen such a strange little girl?
So I was relieved, and I was thinking about finding a suitable time to talk to Xie Min, because sleepwalkers didn't know that they would sleepwalk, and it would be bad if something happened one day. I lifted the lid and went downstairs.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and the drawing talisman had been consuming a huge amount of energy, and the moment I lay on the bed, I had no strength at all, as if there was a strong magnet that stuck me tightly on the bed.
This night, I slept very sweetly, and the messy dreams that had been following me were rare to forgive me for not bothering me once after leaving my brother.
And after waking up, I also found that the Dao Qi in my body actually had a slight growth, and the novel is really not all deceitful, under this kind of inhuman oppression, it can indeed make people grow, although this kind of growth is not what I want, but forced to ······ helplessly.
Of course, such inhuman oppression has also led to a terrible consequence. That is, I was standing in the dormitory room on the first floor of the dormitory, staring at the old man sitting on the chair.
Yes, I'm late, I should say it's late, it's not right, it's not appropriate to say that, to be precise, I was called up by the old man in charge of the dormitory. During the routine rounds, the old man noticed that the door of our dormitory was unlocked, so he went in to have a look, so he called me who was sleeping with my head covered.
