Just after noon, the most important and anticipated prayer session of the Mountain Ghost Festival began, and we began to get busy.

Putting aside the situation in the hall for the time being, according to my grandmother's instructions in advance, I need to stimulate the curse as much as possible while the sacred fire is lit on the altar, so that it will be restless, and grandma will also release the orchid in the soul nourishing bottle at this time.

As long as the curse in my body is active enough, I will definitely be able to sense the evil qi split out on the altar, and at this time, the curse is forming a stalemate with the ghost, in order to completely devour the ghost, get rid of this state of restraint, the curse that senses the evil qi will definitely recall the evil qi on Lan's body, and we will be halfway successful.

That's pretty much what the early plan was, but how to stimulate the curse is a problem.

In the past, every curse riot occurred by chance under various inducements or external forces, and it was completely out of my control, but I could try to use the Yuan Qi in my body to restrain the activities of the curse and weaken it for a short time, so that the ghost will temporarily overwhelm the curse, and maybe I can stimulate the curse to fight it.

This is just my whim, and I am not sure, but after hearing this, the Taoist priest said that he could give it a try, and Sister Bailing also agreed, which gave me some confidence and made up my mind.

Next, it's time to wait for grandma.

Before the festival begins, during the lunch break, the staff of the venue erects an iron basin on the altar, which is filled with rosin and withered grass and other fire-starting things, and covered with dried pine wood.

After the festival begins, the chief priest gives a sacrificial speech, and then nine pairs of young men and women dressed in sacrificial dance costumes come to the stage to offer sacrificial dance music, and when the dance is halfway through, the chief priest lights the pine wood in the iron basin, which is the sacred fire given by the mountain ghost Niangniang.

When the flame is lit, there will be staff to move the brazier to the center of the venue, during the brazier movement, the sacrificial dance music is still the same, people dance with the brazier while moving, but there is no limit to the number of people participating in the dance, often the brazier has not yet landed, the brazier has formed a human wall in the outer circle, all the men and women participating in the dance, cheering, lively.

Of course, the number of people who worship the dance depends on the degree of belief in mountain ghosts. I heard my grandmother say that there were too many accidents in the mountains for a few years, and many people died, which weakened people's worship of mountain ghosts. However, judging from today's situation, such a situation will inevitably not arise.

At this time, the grandmother on the altar had finished giving a sacrificial speech, and sixteen dancers had been surrounded around the brazier, the male eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and the body was strong, and the female was beautiful and graceful, slim and elegant, and as soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Soon, the sacrificial dance music began, and the Taoist priest's eyes straightened. Yang Mengqing on the side sighed again and again, saying that the same dance, people dance beautifully and movingly, but Taoist priests can learn to dance gods, it is really not easy!

The Taoist priest was a little unhappy when he heard this, saying that he had just learned, and if he was given three days, he would be able to dance better than the little sister on the stage.

When I heard it, I couldn't help but joke, saying that you don't have the body of a family, you want a waist without a waist, you want a fart-stock without a fart-stock, at most it's a big bear, and it's good to twist it into a shape.

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and the Taoist priest was so faceless that he was ridiculed by me, and after snorting coldly, he simply stopped talking.

There are three stages of the ritual dance, the first two of which are more complicated and long, but the posture is very graceful, giving people a sense of beauty as if they are in the middle of a verdant mountain. The latter section is simpler than not, more repetitive movements of holding hands and jumping and moving.

After about ten minutes, the first two dances were over, and it was time for Grandma to light the flame.

I saw that the men and women who were dancing did not stop, still dancing around the brazier in the center of the altar, and the grandmother stepped forward with a lighted torch in her hand.

She looked solemnly into the room, then swept her gaze over us, and when she saw that we were all nervously waiting, she nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the torch in her hand flew in through the gap between the two dancers and fell into the brazier.

The orange flame instantly ignited, jumping more than a meter high......

I didn't have time to think about what was going to happen next in the hall, and as the flames burst out, I sat down cross-legged and began to control the Yuan Qi in the dantian to rush towards the source of the curse, the right arm.

As soon as my Yuan Qi entered the meridians of my right arm, I immediately sensed those black vines coiled between my flesh and blood.

At this moment, in my perception, those black vines became incomparably huge, each one was bigger than mine, and the trickle of Yuan Qi I controlled was like toothpicks and iron pestles compared to these black vines, and I immediately lost confidence in my previous plan.

However, the arrow was already on the string, and it was too late to regret it, so I could only bite the bullet and mobilize Yuan Qi to wrap around those huge black vines.

What I never expected was that those black vines seemed huge, but the end of each vine was holding back the ghost, and no matter what I did to it, it couldn't do anything to me.

And although Yuan Qiliu is small, it has a huge restraint effect on the black vine, often as soon as the Yuan Qiliu is wrapped around the black vine, a large amount of black gas immediately comes out, and then the black vine will tremble violently, as if it is angry.

With this discovery, my confidence suddenly increased, and I was no longer afraid of it, and completely recklessly mobilized all the Yuan Qi in the dantian.

Suddenly, the black vine tattoos crawling on my skin began to change dramatically, and they seemed to come to life, squirming on my body surface and conveying a painful and frightened emotion to me.

Just when I thought it was just my delusion, the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed: "It's not good, my Heavenly Charm has failed......"

As soon as his words fell, the faces of the doctor, Yang Mengqing, and Sister Bailing changed at the same time, and their eyes all converged on the top of my head.

Seeing them like this, I immediately realized what was going on, before returning to my hometown, the talisman used by the Taoist priest to cover up the ghost and curse the black shadow on my body failed.

I hurriedly looked around, and thankfully, most of the people around me were attracted by the ritual dance music in the hall and didn't notice the changes in me, but the three little girls who were interested in the doctor looked at me with horrified expressions, apparently having noticed the curse and the ghost. Night Night Chinese

The doctor grabbed one of the girls who was about to scream, and made a no-scream gesture to the other two.

The Taoist priest was not idle here, only heard it muttered in a low voice 'blinding technique', and at the same time, his two hands quickly pinched out more than a dozen complex handprints, and shouted: "Knot!" ”

Nothing happened, and the surroundings were still as usual, but the horror on the faces of the three girls was gone, and turned into doubt, and their eyes looked around, as if they were looking for something.

The doctor gestured to explain something to them, and the Taoist priest gestured to me with an ok gesture, realizing that he had done it.

Although I was confused, but now was not the time to care about this, I could already clearly sense that the curse was weakening, and at the same time, another terrifying aura attached to my body was increasing, and the black vine that had spread to my cheeks was rapidly fading, and was completely forced back to the position of my right arm.

Almost at the same time, a cold and terrifying aura came through my Heavenly Spirit Cover, turning into a black shadow and invading my mind, it was the ghost, and after suppressing the curse, it was finally about to attack me.

It stands to reason that my grandmother should have released Lan at this time, but the curse in my body shrank and did not move, and the ghost drove straight in, directly into the depths of my consciousness, and did something that made me stunned.

It actually destroyed the first two sword seal figures that Uncle Yang had preached to me, and it had no intention of stopping, and continued to destroy the third sword seal.

Faced with such a situation, I didn't know what to do at all, but fortunately, the third sword mark was not as fragile as the first two, and the ghost deaf hit it several times in succession, but instead of shaking the third sword mark, it dispersed the vague halo outside the fourth sword mark.

At the moment when the fourth sword seal figure clearly appeared in my mind, an incomparably evil aura suddenly rushed into my body and disappeared in an instant.

Before I could react, dozens of hundreds of black rolling vine phantoms also appeared in my mind, enveloping the ghostly black shadow with lightning speed, and forcibly pulling it out of my mind.

At the same time, I felt an unbearable pain, as if my entire consciousness had been torn apart by something.

The pain brought me back to my senses, and as soon as I regained my senses, I saw a black vine covered with thorns wrapped around something so black that it was incomparable, and countless tentacle-like rhizomes were inserted into the black air mass, which was constantly devouring.

The black vine in front of him was completely condensed by black qi, it had appeared a few times before, but each time it was a vague outline of a vine, never as real and clear as it is now.

The veins of each leaf are delicate, and the lines of each rhizome are clear at a glance, as if it were really a vigorous black vine.

I felt a terrible and evil aura in the black vine, and even though this cursed vine came from within me, it still oppressed me so much that I couldn't breathe.

The speed at which the cursed black vine devoured was very fast, and it didn't take long for the ghost deaf entwined by the stems and vines to disappear completely, and the evil aura emitted by the black vine became even stronger.

The ghost was swallowed, and the black vine retracted into my body without the slightest stop, and the thorny lines that had been forced back to my right arm by the ghost crawled all over my body like a tide again, this time, not only the right side of my face, but also the left side of my face became the base of their entrenchment.

After spreading completely, the vine of the curse did not lie dormant as before, and I could clearly feel that the black vines attached to my body were slowly absorbing something from my body, I can't tell what it was, but I could detect its loss.

I took a deep breath and opened the cabinet containing the witch boy as my grandmother had ordered, and before I could make a move, a little doll with pigtails and a fierce face had already rushed out of the cabinet.

She wasn't a physical entity, but a spirit form, and as soon as she flew out, she immediately bared her teeth at me viciously. I knew she wasn't aiming at me, but at the cursed vine in my body, because I wasn't aware of her malice.

The appearance of the little witch boy seemed to stimulate the cursed vine, and the black qi vine that had originally retracted into my body reappeared.

However, the little witch boy did not wait for it to fully surface, waved his little hand and rushed to the cursed vine first, as if facing the most hated enemy, even tearing and biting, and actually pulled the black vine into my body together, and disappeared.

I was prepared for this, but I wasn't too surprised.

At this juncture, two-thirds of the plan has been successful, and the rest depends on how much prayer power the witch boy and grandmother can gather.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and I sat cross-legged next to the statue of the witch boy. At this time, the statue of the witch boy in the cabinet is emitting this dark light, which is caused by its battle with the cursed vine, and in the following time, I need to keep holding the spell and offering incense, so as to ensure that the power of the witch boy is endless.

At this point, the people on the side could no longer help, and just at this time, the prayer dance reached a high tide, and the people who came up danced around the sacred fire in the center of the venue, sincerely praying for the blessing of the mountain ghosts. The Taoist priest is a guy who likes to join in the fun, seeing this situation, regardless of whether he can dance the prayer dance, he pulled up Sister Bailing and joined in.

I don't have time to care about it, maybe it's because of the battle between the witch boy and the cursed vine, at this time, a large amount of black gas comes out of my body, which is extremely weird, I took out the Apocalypse Sword and put it on my lap, hoping to suppress the curse with the help of the power of the artifact, and relieve some pressure for the little witch boy.

When the prayer dance reached its peak, I felt that it was a mysterious power that was different from Yuan Qi and Zhen Qi, pure and sacred. Because it contains the villagers' yearning for beautiful things, it is a kind of hope, and it is also a kind of faith, so after this wish power is blessed on me, the evil aura emitted by the curse is immediately extinguished, and the vine of the curse immediately wilts a lot.

Although I couldn't see the battle between the witchboy and the cursed vine, I could sense the joy of the little witchboy from the connection between the statue and me, and it was clear that the little witchboy had the upper hand after receiving the blessing of the will.

In the following time, I sincerely prayed the curse, and things went very smoothly, and the curse tattoo entrenched on my body slowly subsided, as long as it continued like this, after three days, the curse could completely return to my right hand, and this time the crisis was eliminated.

The mountain ghost festival is carried out in an orderly manner, and after the prayer and dance, all the participants sit in silence, which is the third and most important part of the prayer.
