The master glanced at Xiao Laodao and didn't say a word, he was reluctant in his heart, first, he had never done it, and second, he didn't like these since he was a child.

The master hesitated with the incense, and asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, why do we have to find the skull of the wolf child's mother, can't we think of another way?" ”

"Do you have any other way?" Xiao Laodao put on a straight face, "Otherwise...... I'll go to the town tomorrow to inquire where the surnamed Zhu lives, you sneak into their house tomorrow night, with your ability, it's easy to cut off his head, but if the government arrests you in the future, don't drag me out. ”

My grandfather's lips trembled twice, "Okay, Brother Xiao, I listen to you, but why do we have to find the skull of the female ghost?" ”

Xiao Laodao smacked his mouth, "Brother Liu, how can you become like a woman, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, don't ask why, as long as you find the skull, everything else is on my brother, not only is the blood debt of the surnamed Zhu repaid, but the government can't find out on the top of our heads!" ”

Xiao Laodao looks confident and swearing, my grandfather can't say anything more, otherwise the dragon slayer hero will really become the big old lady of his mother-in-law.

As if the master drove the ducks to the shelves, he walked to the courtyard with incense, pulled out a few weeds in the yard, threw out a handful of loess from the roots of the weeds, and then walked to the gate of the temple, with his back to the south and north, the loess was used as an incense burner, took an incense, and lit the incense and inserted it into the loess.

The green smoke curled, and the master squatted in front of the incense, concentrating, and chanting the words: "The sky is round and the place is round, the nine chapters of the law, the five elements and the three realms, and the gods of the ten directions, stand on both sides of the column, and listen to my orders...... Today, there is a female ghost who died unjustly, and she used the skull before her death to find out the location, and she came to inform her quickly, and she was as urgent as a law! ”

After the master finished reading, he stopped for a while, and a fresh breeze blew inexplicably from nowhere. The breeze blew in the face, and the green smoke on the incense head was tilted in a certain direction, and my grandfather glanced at it in the direction of the inclination, and saw that the green smoke was slowly pointing to the temple.

Is it still in the temple? My grandfather got up from the ground.

This method of burning incense and asking the gods can be said to be a small ritual to summon the gods, after the mantra is recited, the green smoke on the incense head will tilt, pointing to the direction of the event asked, in the words of my ancestors, this is the instructions of the gods.

However, my grandfather didn't like these when he was a child, and he didn't believe in these very much, so he looked at the temple suspiciously, and felt that this method didn't work at all, because the female ghost was no longer in the temple, Xiao Laodao also said before, the skull was probably taken away by the female ghost, how could it still be in the temple.

The grandfather returned to the hall with an unhappy face, at this time, Xiao Laodao had already lit the candle, the candlelight flickered, and the shadows were full, Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, and saw that my grandfather's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Brother Liu, did you ask out?" ”

My grandfather waved his hand and said in frustration: "Don't mention it, this Dharma thing doesn't work at all. ”

Xiao Laodao said: "How can it not work, Ling Zun is a famous exorcism master on the side of the Yellow River, what he passed on to you, can it not work, is it not sincere when you do it?" ”

When my grandfather heard this, he was even more unhappy, and said: "I know all the tricks of practicing the exercises, how can I be insincere, I think this Fa doesn't work, let's think of other methods." ”

Xiao Laodao said: "If it doesn't work, Ling Zun still needs to ......" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "Forget it, I see that you really don't like to do this, you tell me how to get this law, I'll try it." ”

My grandfather hurriedly said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to try, if you want to use these spells in our family, we must pass on the Fa through our family, otherwise it will be useless to learn it, otherwise, I will pass on the Fa to you now." ”

Xiao Laodao was stunned when he heard this, "Forget about teaching the Fa, anyway, I have been a Taoist priest for a few years, and if I have worshipped the teacher, I can't go to another door again, so you tell me, what is the result of the Dharma you did?" ”

My grandfather looked helpless and said: "This Dharma can only give a general direction, and the direction is given to the temple, but the female ghost is no longer in the temple, as you said, she must have left with her skull." ”

Xiao Laodao heard my grandfather say this, pondered for a moment, and said: "Not necessarily, we haven't looked carefully in the entire temple, maybe the skull is still in the temple." Xiao Laodao immediately beckoned to my grandfather, "Anyway, I can't sleep now, so let's look for it in the temple thoroughly." ”

My grandfather was very reluctant, but he didn't object to Xiao Laodao's proposal, and the two of them found it in the entire temple, front and back, left and right, and turned the whole temple over, and finally, not to mention the skull, not even a bone slag was found.

Back in the main hall, my grandfather said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, I've found it, let's think of another way." ”

Xiao Laodao seemed to be a little unwilling, bowed his head and groaned, "In the temple...... ...... in the temple Suddenly, Xiao Laodao raised his head and looked at my grandfather and asked, "You say...... The ritual can only give an approximate direction, right? ”

"That's right." My grandfather nodded.

Xiao Laodao said: "The back of the temple, is it considered the general direction, what if the Dharma refers not to the temple, but to a place behind the temple?" ”

My grandfather was stunned, "This, this ......"

"It's a possibility, isn't it?"

"Is it possible......" my grandfather nodded irrefutably.

Xiao Laodao smiled, "Then let's go, let's take a look at the back of the temple." ”

Behind the temple, there is a sloping wood, not dense, the slope is not too steep, but it is deserted, and it is behind the temple, which looks a little gloomy.

The two of them quickly left the temple and came to the back of the temple, my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu had already come once when they buried the bones of the female ghost, and they didn't pay much attention at the time, but at this time, they looked at it, and the sparse forest was pitch black, and there were occasionally a few night bird calls from inside, and they felt quite panicked, but there was nothing abnormal.

The master said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, you see, there is nothing here, let's go back and find another way tomorrow." ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand and said firmly: "Brother, I believe in your family's spells, and I also believe that I am not wrong, since the Dharma gives the general direction, this forest is also among them, let's go in and have a look." ”

When my grandfather heard this, he was really reluctant, and the grandfather said: "Brother Xiao, if the law doesn't work, or if I don't do it well, aren't we going to run for nothing?" ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly stopped, glanced at my grandfather, and asked, "Can you do this ritual repeatedly in your family?" That is, do it once, and then do it a second time, or even a third time. ”

The grandfather replied: "This is okay, my father told me, but whenever you encounter a junction, you must do it again, and let the gods point out which road to go." ”

"Isn't that the end of it?" Xiao Laodao smiled, "You do it again here behind the temple, where will the matter point, if it is really not as effective as you said, then let's go back to sleep." ”

The master looked at Xiao Lao Dao, and said in his heart, this old Taoist priest, he really doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, and the master nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and bring the incense and make it again." After saying that, the master turned around and left.

After a while, the incense was brought, and the master didn't explain much to Xiao Laodao, just like just now, step by step, get some loess, and insert the incense on it, and recite the words again in his mouth: "The sky is round, and the nine chapters of the law are ......."

After the incantation was recited, after a while, another breeze blew, and the green smoke pointed obliquely to another place, and my grandfather's face suddenly became solemn, because the green smoke was in the same direction as the one just now.

"Does it really work?" My grandfather couldn't help but mutter.

Xiao Laodao didn't seem to hear what my grandfather said clearly, and asked on the side: "How is it, Brother Liu, have you finished the Fa?" ”

My grandfather turned his head to look at him, and said in amazement: "It's exactly the same as the direction just now!" ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "How about it, I'll just say that your family's Dharma will not go wrong." As he spoke, he came over and patted my grandfather on the shoulder, "I believe in you, brother, you also have to believe in these spells of your family, don't you, let's go, don't be stunned, go back to the temple to get a torch and go to the forest to have a look!" ”

The two men returned to the monastery, took out two torches, lit them, and went into the woods.

The forest is not large, as mentioned above, it is a sloping forest, and the trees in the forest are not very dense, and it looks desolate and lifeless.

The two of them got into it from the top of the forest and walked all the way down. As they walked, they looked into the forest, mainly looking for the skull of the female ghost, but until they walked out of the forest and came to the bottom of the mountain, they did not find the female ghost or the skull.

Under the hill, there is a ditch, in front of a big mountain, behind is a hill, the ditch is overgrown with weeds, full of greenery, plus it is in the middle of the night, in it, quietly makes people shudder.

Xiao Laodao looked around with a torch, and whispered to my grandfather: "Brother, we should be almost there, look here, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the yin qi is extremely heavy." Saying that, Xiao Laodao actually extinguished the torch in his hand, and beckoned my grandfather, "Yours is also extinguished, ghosts are also afraid of light." ”

My grandfather also extinguished the torch in his hand, and Xiao Laodao said again: "Brother, you do that Dharma thing again, and see which direction it points in this time." ”

The master nodded and took out a stick of incense from his hand, but before he could take out the fire and light the incense, Xiao Laodao suddenly pulled him hard, the grandfather turned his head to look at him, Xiao Laodao actually had a straight face, "Squat down, there are people on the mountain beam!" ”

The two of them quickly squatted into the grass nest, and my grandfather looked at Xiao Laodao again, and saw Xiao Laodao squatting in the grass nest and shrinking his head, constantly looking at the opposite mountain beam.

My grandfather followed the direction he was looking at, and when he looked at it, he saw a black figure on a mountain beam not far away, and the figure was running rapidly, while running, and from time to time he glanced behind him, as if something was chasing him behind, and my grandfather looked behind the figure, probably because the line of sight was blocked, and he didn't see anything.

At this time, I heard Xiao Laodao whisper: "This seems to be a monk." ”
