Chapter 52: Onmyoji
At dinner time, they met the legendary Yin Yang Master Impermanence.
Wearing a blue-gray coat, his figure is slightly thin, with a tall nose, thin lips, and sword-like eyebrows flying obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corners of his sideburns, he looks like a bit of a mage, he doesn't look as young as Lin Yifei said, his temples are a little gray, and he seems to be fifty or sixty years old.
He was followed by two apprentices, both of whom were about twenty years old.
The two of them are silent, gentle, slightly arrogant, and seem to have some ability!
When they came, they did not stop, but went straight to the grove.
Ye Tianchen and Lin Yifei also followed quickly.
The Impermanence Mage held a compass in his hand and scrutinized the outer edge of the woods.
According to Yin-Yang magic, the appearance of ghosts will also affect the surrounding geomagnetic field! Once there is a ghost there, then the pointer on the compass will also change a bit.
This is a relatively common means for most Onmyoji to find ghosts.
But how to determine the specific location of those ghosts still depends on the direction of the five elements of the gossip on the compass, which is very complicated and profound.
If Ye Tianchen wanted to learn this yin-yang technique, he would rather spend a little more time improving his psychic technique.
The Impermanence Mage took the compass in his hand and surveyed around for a while, slowly determined a direction, walked a few steps, squatted down next to the grove, and grabbed a handful of dirt with his hand.
At first glance, the color of the earth looks a little strange.
There is a hint of brown in the black, which is obviously unusual.
He put the dirt in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, then stood up silently, handed the compass to an apprentice beside him, patted the mud on his hand lightly and said, "There is blood in this mud." ”
Ye Tianchen was visibly stunned when he heard this.
There was blood in the mud, indicating that Yaoyao's bones were buried in this small forest.
Oops, since her body is here! Ghosts generally can't leave the place of their death, Yaoyao didn't escape, she must still be hiding in this wood!
Ye Tianchen was a little worried for a while, he definitely couldn't let him take Yaoyao away! There are still a lot of things he hasn't figured out yet, and Yaoyao must know some of them!
The Impermanence Mage frowned slightly, and said sharply, "When this female ghost died, why wasn't her body cremated?" ”
Director Zhang hurriedly explained: "We originally planned to be cremated directly, but it was very strange to say, her body disappeared inexplicably the next day, plus she wore red clothes before she died, and she also smeared blood on the rope that hanged her, which we also ......
Director Zhang was also a little embarrassed for a while, and bowed his head in embarrassment! After all, these people can't wait for big things to be small, small things to be turned into small things, and there is no loss anyway, so it's over!
The Impermanence Master said, "So you just act as if nothing happened?" ”
It's a terrible thing to provoke a very powerful ghost!
And it was also an injured female ghost, which completely angered her ferocity, and the whole factory was wiped out, which was nothing!
The Impermanence Mage then said again: "Her body should have been stolen by someone at that time, and then she silently sneaked back and secretly buried her body in the ground, the purpose is very simple, that is, to turn her into a powerful ghost, the person who did this is really ill-intentioned." ”
When Master Impermanence was saying this beside him, for some reason Ye Tianchen remembered the three-inch small shoes in his head.
At that time, the first thing he saw in the woods was that Yaoyao was hanging from a tree, and there was a pair of small red shoes directly below her.
It was exactly the same scene he saw in the Dongchuan forest.
The only difference is that the female ghost in the Dongchuan Forest is wearing white clothes, and there is no blood on the rope.
What is the connection between the two? Moreover, they are all fierce, and they all kill people directly!
I also doubt in my heart, is this the same person behind this?
Director Zhang asked again: "Master of Impermanence, what should we do now?" ”
The impermanence mage suddenly said categorically: "Of course the ghosts are collected and the corpses are burned, don't worry, with me, she can't escape." ”
Ye Tianchen didn't hear it well, she was also the goddess in her heart, even if it was a ghost, he would be unbearable, and even if she died, it was not at this time, there were still many things that needed her, and hurriedly said: "Master of Impermanence, that female ghost has been injured, can you open the net?" ”
The Impermanence Mage looked at him curiously, and asked with some confusion, "Oh? She's hurt? How did she get hurt? Who did this to you? ”
Those who can hurt ghosts must not be ordinary people! It is likely that it was from the hand of the Onmyoji!
Ye Tianchen didn't hide it, and said, "It's me, I was injured with red rope ink." ”
The Impermanence Mage was a little surprised, and said, "Oh? It's you? Which of the Nine Yin and Yang Families are you? ”
Nine Yin and Yang Families.
It sounds familiar, but I've heard it somewhere before.
But he couldn't remember it for a while, shook his head slightly, and asked, "Master Impermanence, what are the Nine Yin and Yang Families?" ”
Master Impermanence said again, "Since you are not a member of the Nine Yin and Yang Families, then you don't need to know!" Young man, people and ghosts have different paths, since she is already a powerful ghost, she is destined to come out to harm people, and it is impossible for me to let her go! It is my duty to save the people! ”
Ye Tianchen became even more anxious when he heard this.
Lin Yifei also explained: "Master of impermanence, she is related to a very important case of our police, the stakes are very high, we still have some questions to ask her, this ghost, you can't accept it." ”
The impermanence mage snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction: "Hmph, this mage can only catch ghosts and exorcise demons, and nothing else!" As long as it's a ghost, you must accept it! As for the rest, I don't care, I won't be involved in anything! ”
After saying that, he directly put his hands behind his back and turned around and left.
Then he said to the two disciples behind him: "Tonight, open the altar." ”
The two disciples who had been following him said very respectfully, "Yes, Master. ”
I have to say that Master Impermanence is indeed very experienced in choosing to do so. Looks like he's a great character!
It was between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening.
And Yaoyao is also in urgent need of absorbing people's essence and blood because of her injury, and if she doesn't replenish it in time, the injury will become more and more serious! According to Ye Tianchen's speculation, she will definitely not come out until after twelve o'clock.
Master Impermanence changed into an earthy yellow robe.
A long table was placed in front of him, and a yellow cloth was spread on the long table, on which there were copper bells, incense candles, water mirrors, yellow charms, glutinous rice, and money swords.
The night wind blew his robe, and he grinned in the wind.
After everything was ready, he immediately ordered the two disciples: "Begin, get up the altar." ”
The two apprentices were also very cooperative, taking out a bundle of red rope.
The red rope was very thin and bright red in color. Don't look at the rope is very thin, it seems that it can be easily pulled off with a little force, but the damage to the ghost is extremely great.
The two disciples began to tie the red rope.
The two of them cooperate perfectly, just like knotting a fishing net, and the fingers are also dexterously hooked and rear, and the movements are unusually skillful and quick.
At first glance, I have worked hard before.
At the same time, he walked down and took a strange step.
It looks like I'm practicing while tying the red rope.
After walking a few steps, one of them threw the red rope in his hand forward.
Another person more than ten meters away was firmly in his hand, and the two suddenly crossed each other, and walked at strange steps, and the two of them cooperated closely.
Look like this, it's going to tie a red rope array!
This formation is very difficult and extremely demanding, but if one of them makes a slight mistake in his steps, the red rope formation will be directly wrong, and once the order is wrong, all the previous efforts will be lost.
But once the formation is formed, the power is huge.
Even if it's a terrible ghost, you don't dare to face it easily!
It seems that Master Impermanence is also very jealous of Yaoyao.
After all, Yaoyao is a very powerful ghost, and she will die if she is not careful.
After about two minutes, the red rope formation was completely completed.
The two disciples pulled left and right, rolled on the spot, and then the whole person jumped high and climbed up quickly along the tree trunk next to him, and his movements were also light, like flowing water, more flexible than monkeys.
When they reached a distance of more than two meters, they hung the red rope in their hands on the branches of the trees.
Then he turned around and jumped straight down.
And the red rope formation hanging high on the branches of the tree was like a banner hanging down, directly and completely sealing the exit of the forest.
There was even a tattoo hidden in the hanging red rope formation.
The ghost can't see the red rope, and at that time, Yaoyao will definitely crash into it directly, and at that time, even if it is a catastrophe, she will have to peel off her skin.
Everything is ready, and Master Impermanence has already started the Dharma directly in front of the altar.
The peach wood sword in his hand quickly flipped slightly, and with a snap, it slapped directly on the yellow talisman on the long table, and the yellow talisman turned out to be weird and stuck directly to the peachwood sword, and then followed the sword dance.
All of a sudden, the wind was blowing, like five or six winds, and the trees were all fluttering.
Ye Tianchen involuntarily turned around and looked in the direction of the woods, it was Yaoyao, she already felt that someone had opened an altar to deal with her.
In the blink of an eye, the wind became more and more violent, and the leaves rustled as if thousands of horses were galloping out.
It seems that she can't bear to kill it.
Seeing this, the Impermanence Mage's face was extremely solemn, and he shouted: "It's not good, she's going to kill it, hurry, light an open fire." ”
"Yes, Master!"
His two apprentices also responded very solemnly, each of them took a white candle in their hands, lit it and inserted it at the mouth of the forest very quickly, and quickly burned a yellow talisman in their hands.
Although Ye Tianchen didn't know what kind of talisman they burned.
But one thing is for sure, it definitely strengthens the power of the white candle.
