Chapter 12: The Cult in Black
It turns out that the cause of the incident is this, not long ago, a large number of people suddenly began to disappear in the northeast, and at the same time, the souls of many newly deceased people such as children and women disappeared. So the Dharma Protector General Altar sent a message to every Chuma Xiantang, so that the Northeast Chuma Hall would pay attention to this matter.
Since my hall does not have formal documents, I can't go down the mountain with all the people in the hall, and even the immortal family whose Taoism has reached a certain threshold is not allowed to do things privately. So the sect leaders in the hall didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, not long ago, my classmates and I went to the East Oil Depot for a walk. Hu Botao saw a woman not far from us, dressed like the one in the cemetery, also wearing a black windbreaker and a black otter rabbit hat. At that time, although Hu Botao was also surprised why this person was dressed like this, he didn't care. After all, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and it's not okay for people to engage in performance art? But the next scene made Hu Botao pay attention to her.
The east oil depot is about five kilometers away from my home on a piece of saline-alkali land, originally a kilometer radius here is full of kowtow machine (Daqing people know, kowtow machine is called pumping machine, that is, pumping oil from the ground), after the city's big plan, buildings have been built all around, and the original east oil depot has been abandoned and has not been developed. Later, when the family area was built, a lot of soil was dug from here, so that there was a big earth pit four or five meters deep on the west wall of the east oil depot. Originally, there were many children taking wild baths here, but then people continued to drown here, and adults did not let children play in this area, and over time it became a deserted place. It was also the case that the place where we walked that day was a few hundred meters away from the bubble. It was daytime, and the woman didn't care about us.
But she didn't know that I had Chang Xiangjiu and Hu Botao on me, and the immortal family's eyesight was much farther than that of mortals. In fact, needless to say, the immortal family, even the eyesight of ordinary beasts is generally several times to dozens of times that of humans.
At that time, the woman took out a six-pointed star-like thing from her bosom, and a rope was hung from it. The woman grabbed one end of the rope and sank the six-pointed star into the water. As a result, a lot of black things were sucked out of the water, and Hu Botao and Chang Xiangjiu could see at a glance that it was an unjust ghost in the water, so they kept secretly paying attention to this woman.
After the woman sucked the souls in the water, she threw something like a dry tree root into the water, and Chang Xiangjiu and Hu Botao couldn't calm down anymore when they saw this thing. Hu Botao said that the thing is called Bai Yan Teng, and the growing conditions of this thing are very harsh. It must be by the river that often drowns, and the river needs to be exposed to the moon twice as long as the sun, and it must suck the grievances of the unjustly killed for a hundred years before it can grow. It sounds simple, but I can't imagine what it looks like, the sun doesn't shine on the moon. Hu Botao said that this kind of resentment can only grow so long in a hundred years, and then it breaks up from the root and falls into the water. This thing is very aggressive because it has absorbed too much resentment. Just like the pitcher plant or the Venus flytrap in plants, it is capable of attacking living creatures. The difference is that Nepenthes needs to catch mosquitoes and flies that land on it, and this thing can be dragged down by the water if you are near the water.
Hearing this, I was shocked, and I remembered my brother's death. Hu Botao said that they didn't know, because they were with me in Shandong at the time, but when I came back, I heard from my family that my brother's death could not rule out this possibility, because my brother's soul was no longer there at that time.
I asked her for some reason what her soul was gone, and Hu Botao looked me in the eye and said to me, "That means your brother's soul has been detained!" When I heard what she said, my body shook. Over the years I have always dreamed of my brother, and I have always felt that there seems to be something wrong with his death, because the state of his death at that time was so strange that those who specialized in salvaging drowning people at that time said that they had never seen a standing drowning in half their lives.
Hu Botao saw that I was shocked and excited, waved his hand and said to me: "It's useless for you to be in a hurry now, after the hall is erected, our hall will have all four beams and eight pillars." When the time comes, you discuss with the sect leader, and his old man will naturally send someone to investigate this matter. ”
Speaking of this, Hu Botao seemed to have a dry mouth, bowed to the medicine king Niangniang, and then picked up an apple and nibbled on it. Chang Xiangjiu glared at her, as if complaining about her disrespect. Seeing that Hu Botao ignored him, he rolled his eyes and continued to narrate.
Chang Xiangjiu said that at that time, he and Hu Botao had the intention to catch her on the spot, but looking at her cultivation, it seemed that she was stronger than them, and it was not a little stronger than the one in the cemetery. "But if we want to go together, we may not be able to kill her, but we are talismans, you don't dare to do anything on the side, and besides, your two classmates were also ······ at the time." Chang Xiangjiu seemed to be afraid that I would look down on them, so he hurriedly played sloppy with me here, and finally relied on me for this matter, as if I could do the right thing for heaven if I was not with them.
Hu Botao glared at him, chewed an apple in his mouth, and scolded indistinctly: "Don't stink and shamelessly put gold on your face, it wasn't you who pulled me and didn't let me get on at that time, I can say that I picked it up." ”
Chang Xiangjiu smiled helplessly, shook his head and continued: "There is such a force near your house, and we don't dare to leave you, no, we just wrote down this matter and have been silent." Later, an old qualified person came to the hall and told us that there had been a cult in the Northeast recently, and asked me to go back with Botao. So Botao went back first, and you let her say the rest. ”
As soon as I heard the word "cult," "a certain skill" suddenly appeared in my head, so I asked Hu Botao: "Cult? Isn't it a merit? ”
At this time, Hu Botao had just finished gnawing the apple, ignoring my stunned expression, and finally chewed the whole apple core and swallowed it: "What do you think, you said that thing is a deceitful magic stick leading a group of stupid believers." You must know that believing in cults is the heaviest retribution, and in the "Theory of Kusha", the only way to cut off the root of goodness is to use evil views. This good root is not so simple, you instigate people to kill people or commit suicide, it is much more karma than if you directly kill people. You must know that all living beings have the root of the Tao and all have Buddha nature. Killing and killing can still be reincarnated in hell with all kinds of suffering, and cutting off the good root is equivalent to sinking into the sea of suffering, and there is no time to emerge. ”
"And say I'm off topic..." Chang Xiangjiu rolled his eyes helplessly, and when he saw Hu Botao glaring at him, he hurriedly shrank his neck.
"Ahem" Hu Botao coughed twice, and continued the topic just now, "At that time, it was the Huang family who came, and he came from the missionary Dharma. said that there was a cult in the Northeast recently, and my first reaction was that the woman in black that day had something to do with it, so I left Chang Xiangjiu to follow you, and I went back to tell the sect leader about it. I was in a meeting when I got back to the mountain, so I didn't dare to interject. At that time, they were discussing the recent news that children had disappeared one after another in the northeast, starting from Liaoning, and at first they thought it was done by human traffickers, so they didn't pay much attention to it. (The immortal family is in charge of demons and monsters, and it is not good to interfere too much with people, otherwise you may end up doing good things and violating fairy rules.) In addition to relying on the police, at most they can only contribute to the troubles within their own causal range. But then a large number of new dead souls of women and children began to disappear, and this was not only a matter of the earth immortals, but even the earth began to hair. After the investigation by all parties, they found that there was a cult, I don't know how it came about, and it seemed to have grown overnight. It swept through Liao and Ji provinces, and now it seems that it has spread to the border of Hei Province. ”
Hu Botao paused and continued: "I heard a large number of lost souls at that time, and at the risk of being reprimanded by the sect leader, I told what I saw that day. "Hu Botao has already said at this time spitting froth, the more I talk, the more excited I became, I signaled her to be steady and steady, why is it like beating chicken blood, as if you yourself are a hero who removes danger and helps the poor, at that time you all saw the soul collector, don't you two also cowardice. Although I think so in my heart, if I say it, I will be possessed by Wu Lao Er. Chang Xiangjiu is okay to say, Hu Botao's aunt has a big temper, who knows if she will get used to me because I am a ground horse.
Hu Botao suppressed the agitation in his heart, and continued to speak: "The sect leader frowned when he heard this, and then reassured everyone that we haven't received Wen Shu yet, and it is not in accordance with the rules to manage the affairs of the yang world so privately." The doors and caves, especially those walking outside, are closely watching their every move. When it came time to make a move, he had his own way. ”
I saw Hu Botao's excitement, but I didn't mean to say any more, and asked her in amazement: "It's gone?" "What's so exciting about you? Isn't this just, ah, after a big meeting, the whole thing is immobilized?
Hu Botao looked at me with a dissatisfied face: "Then it's your mountain cannon matter." When I came back, I never saw them again. Until you watched the zombie movie, and then the day you were stunned ······"
I blushed when I heard Hu Botao's words, this eldest sister really doesn't give face, which pot is not opened, who hasn't urinated on the kang yet.
Chang Xiangjiu looked at me with an embarrassed face, and came to play the round again: "That morning, Botao and I were watching TV at your house, and you were happy to watch those little rural daughters-in-law or something, Hu Botao was willing to watch it, and I thought it was not interesting to go downstairs for a walk." As a result, I saw the one in the cemetery at the south gate of your building, although it was not the same person as before, but from the news in the hall and the clothes of this person, I think that eight or nine is not far from ten, and this cultivation is not ordinary at all. So I summoned the two juniors to follow her and asked Hu Botao to go back and ask the sect leader. Bo Tao came back and said that the sect leader ordered to catch it first, and then we discussed, I will guard you at home, and she will arrest people, but you kid doesn't know what kind of wind he smokes, and he will go to the cemetery to find zombies in the middle of the night. You don't want to think about it, are there zombies in the cemetery? Even if I find that thing, I can't do it, can you do it? ”
"I said, big brother, can you not bury me with Sister Botao? Isn't it okay to go on? "Anyway, they all know about these ugly things, and after following me for so many years, I gritted my teeth and farted with a urine kang I guess they have all seen it, and I am also out of my mind.
