Finally arrived at the destination, fortunately the road is not difficult to find. I hurried to the door and was about to reach out and knock on the door, when suddenly I heard a "hee-hee-hee" laugh in my ears, which was very weird. I looked back and saw nothing. Uncle Hong said that I have a psychic physique, and under normal circumstances, if there is a yin spirit nearby, I should be able to detect it immediately, such as the child I met on the road just now.

I thought to myself, I can't have encountered some resentful yin spirit, the greater the resentment of the yin spirit, the greater the power, just like the five gods. I hurriedly started the incantation, but after meditating for a while, I didn't sense the presence of yin spirits around me.

"Are you looking for me?" The voice was high-pitched, and it was coming from the ears again. I didn't dare to stop chanting the mantra and turned around slowly, but it still startled me.

In front of the gate of this courtyard stood a pair of paper-tied red men and green women, and they were life-size, their lifeless faces painted with strange smiles, but I didn't feel the yin qi from them, but felt that they had the breath of a living person.

It's the first time I've encountered this situation, and if the paper figures were artificially placed in front of the door, but the movement was too fast, right? I turned around and chanted the incantation for a minute at most, not to mention that the surroundings were already surprisingly quiet, and it was impossible for me not to hear the movement when two paper figures were suddenly placed next to me.

I hesitated and said, "I...... I want to find Uncle Hu, he should live here, right? "If someone sees me talking to a paper man, they'll think I'm crazy or crazy. But this paper figure is lifeless now, and it didn't respond to me, I suddenly felt ridiculous, this paper man has no yin spirit possession, what do I say to it? I stepped forward to move the paper figure away so that I could call the door, but as soon as I put my hand on the female paper man, I heard, "What are you doing?" Stinky rascals! Let go of your hands! ”

I was stunned for a moment but didn't let go, I pressed my hand directly on the head of the paper man, and began to recite the imprison spell, whether you are a yin spirit or some other evil thing, as long as you are attached to this paper man, I will first imprison you so that you can't escape. I never thought that this paper man would beg for mercy: "Hey! Exercise restraint! You go straight into the house, and I'm in the back room! ”

I moved the paper figure and pushed the door in, and the courtyard was clear at a glance, with a large incense burner in the middle, just like the kind in the temple, a motorcycle parked in the corner, and a pile of wood, and nothing else.

At this time, a short old man came out of the house, and I saw that he was wearing a Tang costume in the style of the Republic of China, with a mustache and a big back hair, and was beckoning me to come over. I stepped forward and was about to speak, but he said, "Just a joke with you, I almost killed you!" "I hurriedly asked what was going on.

He smiled bitterly and said: "My son said that you bullied him, let me give him a vent, I didn't expect you to come to the door, so I wanted to scare and scare you, but I almost let you detain my yang soul on that paper man, so dangerous!" By the way, who did you learn this spell from? "I hurriedly reported to my home, saying that Uncle Hong of Heishizhai Village was my master, and I came here to find an uncle surnamed Hu, who was afraid of bad things when it was urgent.

After hearing this, the old man tidied up his clothes in a matter-of-fact manner, then put his hand behind his back, stared at the sky with his nose, and said: "I know astronomy, I know geography, yin and yang gossip, marriage Liuhe, the past life and the present life, tend to be auspicious and avoid evil, the feng shui of the house, everything is known, Hu Banxian Hu Zhenren is me!" What does the old thing surnamed Hong ask me to do? "I was amused when I heard it, it was the first time I had seen someone so boastful.

I hurriedly took out the piece of paper and two hundred yuan given by Uncle Hong and handed it over, but Old Man Hu waved his hand to block me away, saying: "That old thing came to beg me personally, I still have to think about it, just sending an apprentice is so insincere, don't even think about it!" As soon as I heard this, I regretted that I didn't detain him on the paper figure just now, but when I thought of the paper man, I felt quite novel, so I hurriedly asked him what the name of the paper man was.

Seeing that I asked him so politely, Uncle Hu seemed to be very useful, and he pulled his mustache and said proudly: "That's just a small skill of carving insects, I used Taoism to attach my yang soul to that paper figure, it's as simple as that." It's ...... you" He finally looked at me with a straight face, and said: "Seeing that you are young, your mana is not small, you are a piece of material, and I don't know which old thing has accumulated virtue in his life to accept you as an apprentice......"

I hurriedly interrupted Uncle Hu and asked him not to call me master by an "old thing", Uncle Hong had a life-saving grace for me, and now he has accepted me as an apprentice, I can't hear others say this about him. Old man Hu sneered: "It's very respectful, not bad!" Then you go, it's time for me to rest. ”

As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, and quickly apologized to him, and explained that if he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have bothered your old man, and asked you to make things as soon as possible, because it would be troublesome if it was late. Old man Hu's face changed when he heard this, and he asked me why my master was injured, and I quickly told me what happened. Old man Hu said: "Why didn't you say it earlier! Show me! I quickly handed over the piece of paper and two hundred dollars.

Old man Hu looked at the note carefully, and asked us what evil things we had encountered before, I said that it was a god of five links, and Old Man Hu was also stunned when he heard it, and then quickly walked to the pile of wood in the yard and found it, and finally he dragged out a thick piece of wood from the wood and asked me to take a handle.

I walked with Old Man Hu to the side room with a large wooden block, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw the little boy in the sea soul shirt before, and he saw that I was also hurriedly hiding away. I hesitated to look at Old Man Hu, and he said, "This is my son, if he doesn't die, you have to call him uncle." ”

Old man Hu immediately began to sawing wood, turned his head and said to me, "You go to the big incense burner in the courtyard to get some ashes." I hurriedly complied, and then he told me to pour the ashes into the bucket next to me, and then go to the next room to help him get some things, and then nothing happened to me.

I looked at Old Man Hu's nervous appearance and was very curious, so I asked, "What did my master ask you to make?" Old man Hu didn't stop, and said "coffin". I looked at the wood and thought to myself, "This bit of wood must not be enough to make a coffin, could it be a small coffin?" But I didn't ask, thinking that Old Man Hu would be so busy, and it would be useless to ask. Old man Hu asked me what kind of Gu Uncle Hong was, and I quickly told him about it before and after, but he listened silently and didn't squeak, and the work on his hands didn't stop.

After a while, Old Man Hu looked up and asked me, "Your master, didn't you care what I wanted?" "I just remembered, before leaving, Uncle Hong told me that I asked the old man Hu to repay the debt, I quickly told the old man Hu, he smiled after listening, put down the work in his hand and turned around and went out of the house, after a while he took back a wooden box and handed it to me, saying: "I made this thing ten years ago, I thought he would not care about me in his life, but I didn't expect it, the old man still let him look forward to it......" After he finished speaking, he continued to work.

I was holding this long wooden box, and my heart was itching, so I asked Old Man Hu what this thing was, and if I could take a look. Old man Hu smiled and asked, "How many apprentices does your master have now?" I said, "That's for you, you see." "After that, he's busy again.

I thought to myself that Uncle Hong had mentioned to me about the magic weapon before, looking at the length of this wooden box, it was very likely that it was a witch knife, I quickly opened the wooden box, and sure enough, there was a dagger that was more than a foot long and two fingers wide, and a bunch of Miao characters were densely written on the scabbard, which was very exquisite. Pulling out the witch knife, I saw that there were many words on the knife, but it didn't seem to be all Miao characters, I didn't recognize it, but I liked it very much, and I couldn't put it down for a while.

Old man Hu saw my happy appearance and said, "This knife has not been cut yet, it needs to use the blood of the wearer, and I will help you get it when I finish this coffin." I nodded and said thank you. Seeing the posture of the old man Hu, it is estimated that this coffin will not be done well for a while, I have been very tired after walking for a day, I want to sleep, but I am embarrassed, in order to refresh myself, I want to chat with the old man Hu.

"Uncle Hu, I heard you say before that you attached your yang soul to the paper man, what is this yang soul?" I asked humbly, Old Man Hu was a little surprised, and said that I don't even know about the yang soul, and then he explained. In fact, it is very easy to understand that after a person dies, there is a yin spirit, and the soul on the body when a person is not dead is called a yang soul. Old man Hu then told me a lot of things in this regard, but they were all explained according to his Taoist theory, and I didn't understand anything about it. In the end, there was really nothing to talk about, so I asked Old Man Hu why there was no dog barking at night in Shimenba Village?

Old man Hu was quite surprised, and said no, so he shouted outside the house: "Son! Come here! The little boy in the sea soul shirt appeared next to Old Man Hu, and Old Man Hu asked, "There is not even a dog barking at night in the village?" Do you know what's going on? The little boy covered his mouth and whispered in the ear of the old man Hu, the old man nodded while listening, and after he finished speaking, the little boy jumped out and ran out.

Old man Hu said: "It is said that there is a group of dog dealers who bought dogs from several villages near the county seat, as if they were going to be sent to Guangxi to be made into canned dog meat and exported to Chaoguo and Hancheng." "I thought to myself that these dogs are too pitiful, and this is the end of the care for the owner, and I fell asleep thinking about it.

The next morning, Old Man Hu woke me up, and I saw a small coffin on the table, and Old Man Hu asked me to go over and look at it. He lifted the lid of the coffin, only to see the coffin painted inside the grid, I asked the old man Hu what the name was, he put on that smug expression and said: "This is the ink fountain line, the ink is mixed with chicken blood and furnace ashes, strengthening the use of imprisoning evil spirits!" Others are playing outside the coffin, but I'm inside, but don't get rid of it. With that, he spread a piece of red silk cloth into the coffin, and then closed the coffin.
