Chapter 46: The Straw Child

"Well, it happened that I was traveling here at the time, and when I saw the color of the female corpse's skin was pink, and the corners of her mouth contained an indescribable smirk, I knew that it was a standing corpse that had been killed by the evil in the water."

As I shook my head and said that it was abnormal, the old man of Jiawuzi said with a sigh: "I sent down three soul scattering talismans in a row to disperse the gloomy aura of the standing corpse, and finally wrapped its body in red, yellow and white paper and burned it. ”

"But Li Laofu's grandson was also blown out of the Heavenly Destiny Lamp on his head because of his corpse, lost his heavenly soul, and became a fool."

"And at that time, after I listened to Li Laofu crying sadly about the whole incident, I thought it was just an ordinary water ghost harming people, so I did it on the bank of the river, thinking about subduing the harmful water ghost, I was wrong, I saw her, a woman with long black hair all over her head."

"I have no face, my long hair is flicked, and it can skyrocket by more than ten meters in an instant, and that time I almost missed and was strangled to death by the three-flower demon girl!"

"Cao family girl, do you know what that long hair that can skyrocket at will is, it is a forbidden woman ghost, the three-flower demon girl who was mistakenly blocked by Li Laofu and lost her head by blocking the seven orifices, and she actually cultivated herself into a forbidden woman demon with a head full of hair."

"I was shocked, so I found friends from all over the world to deal with the Sanhua Banshee together, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't hurt her, and at the same time, we couldn't find out where she came from, and what kind of foundation she had, so in the process of trying to cast spells again and again, the demon girl was enraged, and sprinkled all her tyrannical resentment on the stupid Dachengzi."

"That is, every time we cast the Dharma, the great adult will cry and wail for several days, day and night, until he spits blood."

"This ...... And what about later? "I asked.

"Later, I naturally stopped, and I continued to travel around, but I still couldn't let go of this evil incident in my heart, so a few months later, I went back here to see how Li Laofu's family was doing, but Li Laofu was already resentful after I left, and threw himself into the water to find the Sanhua Banshee to settle accounts."

"According to Granny Rong, the most tangled thing about Li Laofu is that he has been doing good deeds all his life to accumulate yin virtue, how could he end up like this."

"It's because I can't hold myself in the midst of a hundred hatreds, so I am determined to fight to the death, even if I can't get justice in front of the three-flower demon girl, I have to go into the underworld to find the king of Hades after death, and judge a way."

"Hey, but how does he know, let alone a monster that I can't subdue, even if it's an ordinary water ghost, how can he be allowed to go to the underworld to see Yama!"

"Hey, what a sad sin!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, so since the root of the demon has been found out this time, I can't let her go no matter what, even if I fight for my life, I have to seek justice for the Li family!" The old man said in a fixed voice.

I looked at him, what the hell was this old man.

For a while, he was angry, like a chivalrous warrior who was fighting unevenly, and then he was indifferent and a little neurotic.

He risked his life, but I couldn't do it!

I think I'm just being pulled by chance, and I haven't avenged myself, and I don't want to be a dead ghost.

"Let's go, we're here."

As I hesitated, the old man pointed halfway up the hill and said that it would be there soon.

"Where are you going, Land Temple, Jiawuzi senior, what are your plans, the dragonfly fairy, can you really find it, in other words, even if you find the dragonfly fairy, you will definitely be able to defeat the three-flower fairy?" I hesitated to look up the mountainside.

There is a small temple, which is not big and lies alone in the barren grass.

"Hmm." And the old man of Jiawuzi regained his indifferent appearance and strode forward, and when he came to the broken temple halfway up the mountain, he took a look, and went directly into the temple.

First respectfully incense the land lord, kneel on the ground and kowtow three times, then get up and pull out a section of blackened straw about half a foot long from his coat pocket, and place it in front of the incense offering to Taiwan.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and took out a platypus-shaped ink fountain from his pocket, pulled the ink line with both hands, and kept bombing himself.

This buzzing bomb was a splash of inky black juice, and after a while, the old man was black from head to toe, turning into a black charcoal head.

"The land here, the most spiritual of the gods, ascended to heaven and earth, out of the secluded and into the underworld, for my Guan play, no stay, meritorious day, the famous book is clear, this week Guan disciple of the thirteenth generation of Yang Liuren Jia Wuzi played the land to manifest the spirit, inform me where the dragonfly fairy returns, if he reaches the sky and the earth one day, he will not forget the land fame!"

And as his body was full of ink and black juice, the old man Bang Chang threw the ink fountain in his hand, turned his fingers into one hand, and pointed very hard at the straw bone in front of the incense.

And the little straw also turned very slowly at the same time.

Slowly, there was a harsh sound of wind blowing through the narrow alley.

"With ......"

The old man's brows became more and more furrowed, and his mouth was chattering hard.

And with this chatter, the old man of Jiawuzi let out a few very dull coughs, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with bright red blood, hanging down on his chest.

"Old-timers?" I shouted.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The old man coughed violently a few times, shook his head, and still chattered loudly in his mouth.

Every chatter was accompanied by a very dazzling blood splash, which frightened me for a while.

"Ahh

After a long time, with a very high-pitched scream, everything stopped.

I hurriedly stepped forward and slapped the old man on the back, and it took a long time to help him relieve his breath, and the old man stopped coughing.

"Cheng ...... It's done, southeast, the dragonfly fairy is in the southeast direction, go, help me up. The old man breathed heavily, and shouted for me to help him.

"O'O, good!" As soon as I heard this, I picked him up, picked up the ink fountain on the ground and stuffed it in his pocket, and when I raised my eyes to look at the incense offering platform, there was nothing above the altar.

"This ......"

I pointed to the offering table.

"Ao, the straw baby spirit is gone, it's for us to fight the front." The old man said in a very tired voice, and motioned for me to help him down the mountain and run to the southeast.

"This straw baby spirit, I inadvertently harvested it, a little spiritual boy, who has been with me for many years, has a good nature, I have been alone for so many years, thanks to his company!" As he walked along the main road, the old man of Jiawuzi gasped a few times.

"Straw Infant Spirit...... Lad? "I don't understand.

"O'O, that is, a dead child."

Listening to my puzzlement, the old man continued: "After the death of this unfashionable child, everyone in the family will tie up a bundle of vertical stalks and drag them to the remote post outside the village to be burned. ”

"And in the midst of this blazing fire, the little soul covets the flesh and refuses to disperse."

"But folk, since ancient times, there have been children who can't be burned in the climate, and they must be smelted clean, or they can be disemboweled, and the smell of baking is used to lure wild dogs, so as to eat the child's body, otherwise the child's soul will not disperse, and he will find his home again, congesting the mother's biological door, and unable to make the next child born normally."

"So in the midst of the terrible burning, a very small number of baby souls will burrow into the straw that has not been completely burned, so as to avoid the yang qi and barely survive, but even so, as most of the straw weathers and degrades, the little souls will also fly away."

"But there are so few lucky people who come into contact with the temple incense, that is, the Buddhist offering incense, self-cultivation and positive fruits, and the achievement of straw babies."

"That's right...... Then the reason why this straw baby spirit was lucky enough to come into contact with the Buddhist offering incense is probably because of you, the old-timer, who helped a lot, right? "When I heard that, I asked.

As soon as the corpse of a child is tempered, I know.

A very common folk custom, almost everyone knows it.

But as soon as the straw baby spirit said it, it was the first time I heard it.

"Hahaha...... Ahem, cough, yes, it was I who happened to meet it back then, and I felt pity, which made this red child possible. The old man laughed when he heard this.

"Red Boy, nice name." As soon as I heard it, I muttered a word to help the old man walk forward.

Then I went to a village to take a car, and two days later, at noon, I came to a small county seat.

I filled my stomach with the old man at the roadside stall, so I found an inn to rest.

The old man entered the room and never came out.

I waited anxiously all afternoon, wondering why the old man had suddenly stopped.

He's not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!

I think I've been out for more than half a month, and I don't know what happened at home.

And what I'm most worried about is that Xiao Anzi will come over regardless of it.

With his little ability, passing the test is equivalent to sending him to death.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

And it was also when I was anxiously waiting that I heard a knock on the door of the next room......
