Chapter Ninety-Five
There were very few vehicles in the evening, and Song Mink and I arrived at our destination in about twenty minutes. The first thing you see is an artificial lake, not big, there is not a trace of dark clouds in the sky after the heavy rain, the moonlight pours down, and the lake looks sparkling with a gentle breeze.
There are three or two loose trees on the edge of the lake, and in front of the trees are reeds more than one person high, and I was blocked by the reeds at this time. Moving a few steps forward, I faintly saw the light of a fire coming.
When I found ......, I was overjoyed, and there was no sound of fighting, indicating that it was not too late for me to come.
I didn't have time to think about it, I pulled my legs and was about to walk over, but I was pulled by Song Mink, I turned my head, and Song Mink said to me: "Xiaoli, have you forgotten what I told you?" Your grandfather deliberately avoided you, he has his own plans, and your rash rush over like this will not help, but will disrupt his plans, besides...... I brought you here, and if something happens because of this, how will you let me face your grandfather? ”
I looked at Song Mink, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded.
Song Mink is right, what's the use of going over and meeting my grandfather now? Since my grandfather deliberately hid it from me, it means that he does have a certain amount of preparation, I just need to watch quietly from the side, in case something really happens, I will rush out again, anyway, I will not watch my grandfather in danger.
So Song Mink and I carefully moved forward, gently picked up the reeds that were more than one person tall in front of us, and we lay on the edge of the reeds and looked in the direction where the fire came from.
I saw my grandfather, who was smoking a dry cigarette in one puff, and although his body was not moving, his eyes were looking around. In front of him lay an offering table, covered with a yellow cloth, on which lay an incense burner, in which the three incense sticks were apparently just lit, and only a small part of the top was burned. On either side of the incense burner are two flaming red candles, and tonight the wind is very small, and the candle flame only beats slightly.
And in the middle of the two flaming red candles, there is also a little straw man, tightly wrapped in yellow cloth, and the nose and mouth of the little straw man are drawn with a pen on the white cloth, etc., through the light emitted by the candle, I see that the little straw man is actually a little similar to me.
I can roughly guess some of my grandfather's intentions, if nothing else, he should want to use this straw man to bring Liu Xiaorong in place of me. The straw man's back must have my name and birth date written on it.
Straw men give people the impression that they are generally used for harming people, such as cursing and lowering their heads, etc., but in fact, the use of straw men also has a righteous side, just like my grandfather's usage at this time. This method was not included in the Sanqing spell, and later the folk strangers discovered and began to use it, which comes from the idiom 'grass and trees are soldiers', from the Book of Jin. Fu Jian's Record", the use of the method is slightly improved on the basis of sprinkling beans into soldiers, not only illusions, but also illusions. It means that compared with sprinkling beans into soldiers, grass and trees can not only deceive the eyes, but also the perception of ghosts. Later, the Maoshan mantra included this method and officially named it 'Covering the grass'. It is mostly used to attract ghosts when they take the initiative to appear.
At this time, my grandfather used the trick of 'covering the grass', and the painting was still my image, could it be said that Liu Xiaorong's target was me? Otherwise, this trick will not have much effect at all .......
I have to say that although I can't read, my brain is still very good, and sometimes I can guess the truth by following a little clue. Of course, there are times when I miss, for example, I thought Xie Min liked me, but I ended up with a self-inflicted .......
Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly, what is the juncture to think of those?
I retracted my mind and looked for the sloppy old man again, because he and my grandfather came out together, and now I only saw my grandfather alone, so where did he go?
Looking left and right, a tree in the southeast corner caught my attention, and when I looked at it, it was a sloppy old man, who seemed to be sitting behind the tree, and from time to time he popped up to observe my grandfather's direction.
The sloppy old man learned the arithmetic of cloth clothes, which means that he doesn't have to follow this assistant, and he is just a lagging character, and his assistant belongs to the type that can't see the light, because if Liu Xiaorong really finds him, he will definitely not be able to survive the first round, and he will die of seeing the light.
I guess it may be after so many years of friendship, he can't bear to let my grandfather take the risk alone, so I can figure it out if he hides to the side.
The sloppy old man didn't notice me, his attention was on my grandfather's side, and my grandfather didn't notice me, his attention was on the changes in his surroundings. 'Covering the grass' should have been launched, so if Liu Xiaorong is really attracted, there must be wind and grass around her at the moment she appears, after all, she is a ghost, and the ghost and demon energy on her body can't escape my grandfather's perception no matter what.
The wind was blowing, and on the offering table in front of my grandfather, the flames of the two flaming red candles began to shake slightly, and then shook more and more violently, like a boat in a stormy sea, which could be extinguished at any time. It seemed to be darkening, and when I looked up, I saw a black cloud drifting by, blocking a full moon in the sky.
My grandfather's expression suddenly became very solemn, and I saw him put the cigarette stick on the corner of the table and knocked it gently, and all the soot inside fell down.
"She's coming......."
Song Mink beside him suddenly tensed up, his eyes stared at the direction of my grandfather, and he said in a deep voice.
Here it comes? But why didn't I see anything?
I looked at my grandfather's position, and saw a gust of wind blowing up the sand, gravel and leaves on the ground straight towards my grandfather, the two flaming candles were extinguished, and the little straw man on the table fell on the table with a clatter.
Yes, it was a snap, and even though my grandfather was still thirty or forty meters away, I could still clearly hear the sound of the little straw man hitting the table as he fell.
My grandfather moved, only to see him raise the cigarette stick in his hand and wave it in the air, while his body kept moving his position from side to side, and the Qiankun physical technique was displayed.
"No, I can't see anything, is Liu Xiaorong here?"
I was very confused, and I saw that my grandfather seemed to be fighting something, but I couldn't see anything.
"Open your eyes, are you stupid?"
At this time, Song Mink had already tensed his body and put on a posture of rushing out at any time. After hearing me ask this, she said this to me without looking back.
It's really more nervous and the more mistakes I make, I can't wait to give myself a big mouth, haven't you been idle for a long time? I didn't even open the most basic eye of the sky.
I took out the eye-opening charm and opened my eyes, and I looked over again. I saw her, the red-robed female ghost who made me shadow a few times, although now I know her name, I also know why she turned into a ghost, and even has a very close relationship with her daughter Xiaomeng. But the moment I saw her, I couldn't help but tremble a little, I remembered that day at school when she swallowed my five thunder talismans in one gulp, and licked her lips when she was finished, and suddenly I had the idea of running away.
Looking at the figure of me Liu Xiaorong and my grandfather, an unshakable feeling filled my heart, and my legs were trembling, shaking very much. In particular, I gritted my teeth and cursed in an attempt to ease the fear in my heart.
To say that my legs are too cowardly, it seems that my whole person is biological from top to middle, just these legs are given away for phone bills, whether it is the first time I tried to meet Zhang Yanli or now I see the red-robed female ghost reappearing, it is the most gentleman's idea to escape.
I twisted my thighs with my free hands, the cold sweat on my head ran down, it hurt, but the pain was valuable, and the legs that were not fighting finally stopped shaking, so I looked at my grandfather's place again.
At this time, my grandfather was holding a cigarette stick in his hand, and with this nondescript but very powerful magic weapon in his hand, coupled with the Qiankun physical technique, he barely had a tie with Liu Xiaorong.
And what about Liu Xiaorong? Her strength is indeed too strong, different from the last one-sided encounter, this time she finally exerted the strength of the ghost, the figure kept changing around my grandfather, the whole person seemed to turn into a sharp sword and flew up and down, the speed became faster and faster, and finally it seemed to turn into a red horse and surrounded my grandfather.
No, my grandfather will be in danger if it goes on like this. Although he has a cigarette stick in his hand, he can barely parry the Qiankun physical technique, but now Liu Xiaorong's speed is too fast, confined him to a small space, even if he has great ability, he can't use it.
My grandfather kept changing positions with a solemn face, holding a cigarette stick in his hand to protect his chest from being suddenly attacked by Liu Xiaorong.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stood up and was about to rush out, but I was once again stopped by Song Mink, who pressed me tightly in place, and the strength was so great that I couldn't even break free.
"You're crazy, rushing out now is to send you to death, that ghost's strength is too strong, don't say it's you, even I don't dare to face her head-on."
With red eyes, I reluctantly turned my head to look at her, and said to her angrily: "I don't care, that's my grandfather, and now he is in danger, do you want me to watch it?" ……。 ”
It seemed to sense that I was on the verge of going berserk, and my position would be exposed at any time, Song Mink covered my mouth with her hand without saying a word, looked at me and said word by word: "You listen to me Xiaoli, since your grandfather dares to lead Liu Xiaorong out, it means that he must have other preparations, what's the use of you rushing over now?" Sent to death? Even if you want to die, don't drag your grandfather to give you a funeral ....... ”
Hearing Song Mink's words, my trembling body slowly calmed down, yes, she was right, my grandfather is not a reckless person, he must have other ways to deal with it, and I am undoubtedly causing trouble for him when I rush over now.
