Chapter 47: The Old Handwritten Book

As the saying goes, it's easy to put things, but it's hard to find things.

Yuanyou got up, intending to look for his old books, which were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, almost turning the house upside down, and finally sweating profusely, under a box, found the ancient books in brown paper bags.

Yuanyou didn't bother to clean up the mess on the ground, and sat on the ground and turned over.

One of them didn't look very thick, with yellow-brown pages, marks of insect and ant bites, and blistered marks on it.

The book has no name, it looks like a handwritten book. Yuanyou flipped through a few pages, and the drawings were all strange things.

This handwritten notebook, he remembers, was exchanged for food stamps in a market when he was in the eighties.

The man said that it was found in the wall of the cowshed in his hometown in Henan, and that it was wrapped in oilcloth at the time.

Yuanyou knew what a cowshed was, so after reading this book at the time, he guessed that the person who wrote this note must be a Taoist priest who lived in the cowshed and hid this thing.

The content in this book, at that time, it was difficult for him to distinguish between true and false, because some of the things recorded in it were a little grotesque, but it could still be seen, and many of them were related to Taoism.

He came back to his senses and continued to flip back.

The book is a little messy, some of which he can understand, some of which are too casual and unorganized, and he carefully studies them page by page, trying to find some useful content from them.

The handbook was not very thick, and there was nothing in front of it that he was looking for, and when he was halfway through, there was a pattern on the page that caught his attention.

It was a number of dots, but it was not a pure circle when you looked closely, like a splattered spot, towards a direction, and a large circle was drawn under these spots, and the circle was surrounded by twenty-eight small semicircles, and a thunder word was written in the middle of the circle.

There are also messy Taoist terms written next to it, this place, that place, written quite casually.

What "inch sharp fire", "charm", "true yang salivation", "boy eyebrows", "thunder pool"...,..., "sleepy flying shadow", "thunder splitting wood"...

Then there was a small line of handwriting, which he planned to look at later, for he remembered where he had seen it.

He got up from the ground, walked over to the desk and sat down.

took the piece of paper that he had just thrown on the desk, it was the one that Qin Shijia had left for the shopkeeper. He smoothed the paper and compared it with the pattern on the handbook.

Yuanyou thought to himself, no wonder it looks familiar, the pattern on this paper is almost the same as the pattern on that book, but the two places are different.

One is the thing in the middle of the circle, the paper is a hexagonal thing, and the book is a thunder word, and in addition to the pattern on the paper, there are also a few words written, I can't understand what it means, but he has a feeling that he can't say it at the moment.

Yuanyou moved his gaze from the paper to the handwritten notebook, and he read the small print carefully.

After a while, he finally understood why this page was so messy, because the pictures and some things on it were all this man's speculation and what he had seen and heard.

The only thing that did not specify what this circle was made of was not specified, because this Taoist priest did not know, and it was all up to guessing.

Those little words tell a story.

It probably means that he witnessed a master in the mountains and forests killing a terrifying "flying shadow".

Yuanyou didn't understand what "Flying Shadow" was, so he continued to read it again.

It is written in the book that the Flying Shadow is quite fierce and amazingly fast, and the person who killed the Flying Shadow did a good job, using some methods, trapping the Flying Shadow in a few clicks, and killing the Flying Shadow with what he was holding.

He wanted to get acquainted with the master, but at this time, another flying shadow came out from a distance, and the master chased the flying shadow into the deep mountains.

He also chased after him, but he lost it, and he couldn't find the original place, so he wanted to draw what he saw and the method of trapping the flying shadow, and finally according to his guess, he determined the formation used by this master, and he named this formation "Thunder Pool".

After reading it, Yuanyou remembered why the paper left by Qin Shijia was almost the same as the one in this book, and he pondered.

There is a possibility that both of these individuals witnessed this formation and drew it from their own memory.

There is also a possibility that the Taoist priest in the handwritten book guessed this formation correctly, and Qin Shijia drew the correct formation, so it will be the same.

So what does this formation have to do with the Soul Control Pile?

Yuanyou is a little puzzled, can it be that all the resentful souls can be trapped? He looked down at the notebook again.

The words written in the book, Yuanyou knows.

What is "True Yang Salivation", "Child's Eyebrows", "Inch Sharp Fire".

In Taoism, it is believed that there are three places in the human body where yang energy is heavier.

One is the blood on the tip of the tongue, also known as true yang salivation, which specializes in curing evil ghosts.

The second is the blood of the index finger, also known as the boy's eyebrows, which increases yang energy, and is also very powerful when drawing talismans.

The third is the blood of the heart, also known as the inch of the fire, although it is the blood of the sun, but it is usually used as a medicine primer or directly as medicine, but this is a legendary usage, Yuanyou does not know whether it is true or false, after all, if the heart blood is taken, how can there be immortality.

There is also "Tongmei", which is an ancient copper coin stained with "Tongzimei".

And "Lei Chi" is a place name in ancient times, but it is definitely not a place name here, it should not be able to cross the meaning of Lei Chi one step, the Taoist priest gave the name of this formation, and the page was marked on the circle, so the circle may be the Lei Chi.

"Flying Shadow" is also marked and drawn, Yuan You feels that it must not be a good kind, because the portrait is a thing with sharp teeth, wide mouth cracks, and protruding eyes like bells.

Yuanyou looked at this portrait and felt that Feiying was probably a fierce and vicious monster.

Finally, there is the "thunderbolt wood", which is the specific wood that has been struck by thunder.

Yuanyou pondered in his heart, this Taoist priest wrote so many Taoist terms, is it necessary to set up the array? He still didn't understand.

The circle is the circle, the middle is the eye of the array, and the person controls it in the eye of the array, so what are these irregular dots? All kinds of blood with yang energy?

He suddenly stopped, and said silently a few more times, "Blood, blood, blood!" ”

Three bloods in a row made him suddenly think of something.

Those dots are spurting blood, but why draw it, instead of directly describing it, if the representative is blood, compared with the proportion of the overall picture, it is too huge, to say that it is a matter of personal painting techniques, but why is he and Qin Shijia the same?

There is a possibility that it is painted as it is, but they don't know what it is. Maybe they all think it's blood, but as for what blood, they don't know, so they provide all kinds of blood as a reference.

In short, the person who wrote this notebook must be well versed in Taoist things, he should have also done experiments, and he has also done it?

Could it be so, that is, these blood are not, he can only guess whether it will be the blood of his heart.

But no matter what kind of blood it is, it is all from one person, and there is not much difference! Yuanyou was dizzy, and he felt a little brain-burning.

He suddenly laughed, he realized that he was thinking too much and too complicated, and suddenly thought that Qin Shijia only gave a picture, if there was no handwritten book, who could know what was drawn on the paper.

He sighed softly, sat up from his chair, and searched for another thing in the package on the ground, which was some copper coins, in a bag, and there were quite a few of them.

These copper coins are genuine, in the 80s, he went to the village in Shaanxi and collected a lot of these copper coins, which were very cheap.

At that time, in the old farmer's house, the old trouser waistband left by the old man would be full of a lot of these copper coins, and some of them were dug out by hoeing in the ground, and the children often used these copper coins to make shuttlecock bases. Anyway, the purpose of what he collected was to make five emperor money and ten emperor money.

There is also the Guiguzi statue on his offering table, which was also collected at that time, and the ancestor of the Yuan family in the past dynasties is Guiguzi.

Yuanyou took the copper coin bag to the writing desk, poured out some, picked up a Qianlong Tongbao from it, and looked at the picture on the handwritten book.

He imagined for a moment, the small semicircle pattern was very likely to be the appearance of the copper coin inserted into the ground, after all, this practice, in fact, Yuanyou knew.

For example, the Vajra Wall, which can intercept yin qi, is how copper coins are inserted vertically into the ground.

The copper coins have passed through 10,000 hands, full of yang energy, and it is indeed very suitable for what kind of formation to place.

There were twenty-eight semi-circular patterns forming circles on the pattern, and he pondered that this should correspond to the twenty-eight constellations.

When the ancients watched the stars, the whole night sky was divided into 28 star areas, which were called "28 houses", and these 28 houses were divided into four houses of east, south, west and north according to the direction, each palace had seven houses, and each palace belonged to the seven houses were defined as an animal, and the four palaces and seven houses were the seven houses of the Eastern Green Dragon, the seven houses of Xuanwu in the north, the seven houses of the White Tiger in the west, and the seven houses of the Vermilion Bird in the south.

The twenty-eight nakshatras have the power of "the four spirits of the heavens, with the four directions".

This kind of copper coin is arranged into a circle, theoretically with 28 copper coins, delineating a small "twenty-eight nights", the power of circulation, copper coins and yang, if it is stained with the boy's eyebrows, it is a circle of artificial yang realm.

The yang realm line is the boundary full of yang energy, and if the thing to be trapped is heavier yin, then you will definitely not dare to go out, so this is what Lei Chi means!

So is this formation a trapped thing, or a soul control pile?

It may be Yuanyou's preconceived relationship, he thinks that this thunder pool is used to trap those resentful souls.

But if it's the light that traps the resentful soul, isn't it a little simple, although this is a bit similar to the King Kong wall in Taoism, but I still have some incomprehension, but time is pressing, I can only take one step at a time, and when I have time in the future, study it well.

Next, it's time to look at the eyes of the Thunder Pool Array.

Yuanyou knows that the operation and energy source of a formation mainly depend on the array eye, and what magic weapons are placed in the array eye are very particular.

The circle array drawn in the handwriting book, with the word thunder written in the array, and the "thunder splitting wood" was mentioned, so he guessed that the magic weapon of the array eye should be the "thunder splitting wood".

Yuanyou had such an old piece of wood that was old and immovable, and he silently raised his eyes to look at the shelf.

Then he withdrew his gaze and continued to flip through the handwritten notebook.

The second half didn't have what he wanted, and then he put the handbook aside.

Then he picked up another ancient book, this is a real ancient book, the content is some ten thousand charms, the title of the book is called "Lingshu Yujian".

This book is the only book in the Ming Dynasty, and it was given to his father by Ma Zhenren back then. When Yuanyou fled and wandered, he always carried it with him.

The faction of the Yuan family relies on drawing talismans, but unfortunately, many of the skills of the Yuan family have not been completely passed down.

Yuanyou's skills were laid by his father, and he later learned by reading such ancient books.

This book is very thick, full of all kinds of charms, the Ming Dynasty was a prosperous era of Taoism, so the real things that will be left behind are all very powerful, but now people, whether they have the ability to read and understand, learn will, that is another matter, Yuanyou has a foundation, the formation is not familiar, but the drawing of talismans is an expert.

He found a kind of yin talisman, called the resentment talisman, which was drawn with a material that belonged to the yin, which could vent the resentment of evil ghosts, but it was also used.

The book was almost opened, and after finding a few more of the same charms, he opened another one.

This ancient book is called "Yuan Bingzhi", I really don't know which dynasty it is, the content in it is some formations and piling cloth eyes, but unfortunately most of the book was destroyed.

But there is a glimmer of luck, the Soul Riding Pile is recorded in this book.

Yuanyou knew that the soul control pile was seen from this book, but he didn't pay much attention to it before.

Yuan You looked through it carefully this time, and he found that there was only a part of the content about the soul control pile, especially how to remove the soul control pile, there were only a few words, and the back pages were damaged.

Although he was a little depressed, he also found a little bit of useful things from it, and based on some of his own guesses and experiences, he had a little idea of planning.

Then he rummaged forward again and found a formation called the "Earth Fire Array".

This is a formation that uses red nitrate as raw material, which is very costly, and can resolve grievances, first make the evil ghost become an ordinary wild ghost, and then overtake.

The method written in the book is to trap it with the small seven levels in the area of the charm cloth, and then use the Fu Sutra to repeatedly vent its grievances, and at most one hour will make the grievances exhausted.

After reading these books, Yuanyou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He sat here alone for a night, and he had to learn all the steps, and he thought about it for a while, blaming himself for being too shallow.

But if you want to be sure, you must first practice, he decided, test those formations first, and then combine the methods, if successful, then there is hope for the problem of the barbecue restaurant.

He thought that he would go to the barbecue restaurant tomorrow and remove all the provocative things and soul-attracting thread powder on the door.

Then find a place, experiment with all the arrays, and go back to solve it.

Yuanyou found that it was still early, so he began to make a plan and write Yin Talismans, but suddenly remembered something, stood up, and walked to the shelf.
