Chapter 18: The Jar
"How is it possible, if you can deal with the ghost by blowing hard, then you don't need to invite Tian Silly Girl to come over and give you this." I took out two branches, one green and one red, from the mezzanine of my clothes and handed them to Wang Dazhuang.
These two branches are very old, they were given to me by my grandfather when he was alive, and after special treatment, they are not only covered with pulp, but also very tough and not easy to damage.
Wang Dazhuang waved two branches, like a chimpanzee pinching an embroidery needle, and asked me in confusion: "Little evil brother, what is this?" I smiled and said, "One is a willow branch and the other is a peach branch, both of which have been plucked from centuries-old trees, and if you encounter a ghost in a while, you can throw them over." Wang Dazhuang nodded, he never questioned my orders, which is also my favorite point.
The two branches given to Wang Dazhuang are, of course, not magic weapons, just ordinary branches that have been treated. However, since ancient times, peach wood and willow wood have the effect of warding off evil spirits and fighting ghosts.
Needless to say, the peach wood is red, especially the branches that grow in the southeast direction, the yang energy is extremely abundant, and many of the wooden swords and talismans of the Taoist priests are made of peach wood.
As for the willow branches that can fight ghosts, many people don't know. The willow tree, along with the locust tree, the mulberry tree, and the big-leaved poplar, have become the four ghost trees, and these four trees belong to the yin and are easy to provoke evil spirits.
As the old saying goes, 'don't plant mulberries in the front, don't plant willows in the back' That's how it came about, and generally these four kinds of trees are planted in the cemetery, on the grave.
The willow tree can not only attract ghosts, but also fight ghosts, all because of the willow branches inserted in the Bodhisattva's jade bottle, so the willow branches fight ghosts, and the ghosts are three inches shorter.
But this is just a story that my grandfather told me in his spare time, and no one knows if it's true or not. However, the willow trees in the mountains not only can not fight ghosts, but also may attract ghosts, only the water willows by the river have the effect of fighting ghosts, and the legends and stories still have some basis.
Wang Dazhuang and I walked forward, and finally saw a glimmer of light, not a dark blue ghost fire, but a dim candlelight.
"Candlelight, it's really interesting...... Wang Dazhuang took two branches to open the way in front, I hid behind him obscenely, relatively speaking, I am indeed more fragile than Wang Dazhuang now.
However, along the way, we did not encounter a sneak attack by the ghosts, and we reached the deepest part of the cave without hindrance, which is a small altar.
On the ground was a large piece of bright yellow cloth, on which many incantations were drawn crookedly in cinnabar, and many ritual vessels were placed, several of which were made of human bones.
In the center of the altar, there is a dusty jar, which looks similar to the one used to pickle vegetables in the village, but gives people an eerie feeling.
Directly in front of the altar, a large plate holds the slaughtered sacrifice of the three animals, and next to it are two circles made of black ink.
Seeing this thing, I couldn't help frowning: "Hmph, there is blood food but no incense, Lao Feng is raising an evil god!" "In addition to the gods of the heavenly court, there are also some wild gods who are worshiped among the people, who relieve the suffering of the people, and at the same time practice Shinto with the incense of all people, and if they practice to the extreme, they have the possibility of becoming a righteous god.
In the old northeast realm, there are five animal immortals who practice through incense, and their leader, Hu Santaiye, is said to have a way that is not inferior to the righteous gods of the heavenly court.
However, there are also many evil gods, they don't need to worship incense, they only greed for blood and eat souls, it is impossible to expect them to benefit one party, and the jar in front of them is obviously.
The two small black circles on the side should be the source of the Yin Fire Circle.
"Da Zhuang, you go and wipe those two circles with peach branches."
"Okay, little evil brother!" Wang Dazhuang had the order to go forward to wipe the two circles, and then the dusty jar began to shake, and made a hissing sound, and I hastened to raise my vigilance to the highest.
Finally, the mouth of the altar opened, and five female ghosts in white palace clothes floated out from it, and it was the same five I had met in the waterhole before, and it seemed that the altar in front of me was their body.
The five female ghosts looked helpless, and even a little frightened, obviously not wanting to come forward to do something with us, but the jar continued to hiss, as if urging, and they still floated over with a sad face.
These five female ghosts have a strong charm technique, and a gust of incense blew, and Wang Dazhuang was directly stunned.
I quickly kicked Wang Dazhuang to make him sober up, and then knocked him three times on the chest. There are three lamps on the top of the head and on the shoulders of a person, which is the energy of the three yangs of a person.
When the yang energy is strong, it is really all evil, and all the ghosts and spirits dare not get close; When the yang energy is weakened, not only will the unjust creditors come to him, but even the luck will be extremely poor.
I beat the big strong chest just to stimulate his yang energy. The five female ghosts couldn't charm Wang Dazhuang, so they could only rush over by themselves.
Judging by their clothing, they have been practicing for hundreds of years, but their means of attack are extremely limited. In addition to desperately blowing yin qi on the three lamps, it is floating over and reaching out to scratch people's hair, which is no different from the methods of those old ladies in Sanniu Village.
In the past ten years, Wang Dazhuang has rich experience in fighting against them. I saw Wang Dazhuang waving two branches, covering left and right, and stopped the attack of the five female ghosts.
Not only that, Wang Dazhuang will also beat a certain female ghost with a willow branch from time to time, and if he hits the female ghost, he will be three inches shorter, and it will take a long time to recover.
But before they could recover, Wang Dazhuang had already beaten the female ghost a few times with a willow branch, and then used a peach branch to break up the female ghost.
Seeing that Wang Dazhuang broke up the female ghost so easily, I was secretly relieved, fortunately he was there.
Relying on willow branches and peach branches alone, it is naturally impossible to destroy the ghosts, and they must be supported by strong yang energy.
Based on my words alone, it is estimated that a hundred hits is the limit, and Wang Dazhuang is like a yang oven, he will not be tired at all.
It didn't take long for all five female ghosts to be dispersed by him. Wang Dazhuang didn't even sweat, and said excitedly: "Little evil brother, I beat them all, they won't come out again this time, right?" I cupped my chin and nodded hesitantly.
Since this altar is placed here to worship, what Wang Dazhuang has just dispersed should be the main body...... Soon, however, there was another hissing sound in the jar, this time with a hint of anger in it.
The mouth of the altar opened again, and five identical female ghosts in palace costumes floated out of the altar again.
Unlike before, they looked lighter, their faces were more ugly, and even the spotless white palace clothes had blood stains on them.
But they did appear again, and they were clearly scattered just now! Seeing the five female ghosts again, Wang Dazhuang didn't react much, just waved the branch again, but I was extremely shocked in my heart.
I looked at the altar and couldn't help but say, ", this thing is the Five Yin Altar!" ”
