We walked into the cave, Uncle Hong walked directly to the dozen black bone altars at the entrance of the cave, he picked for a long time and finally opened one of the bone altars, and said in his mouth: "It's still a little yin...... I asked Uncle Hong what this is for, Uncle Hong asked me to sense these bone altars. I calmed down and hurriedly started the curse, and found that most of these bone altars did not have any yin qi, only two or three of them were still a little, but they were also very light, and the one that Uncle Hong picked was exactly one of them. However, I found that the mural statue of Chiyou in the cave exuded a strong yin aura.

Uncle Hong explained that the bones in these bone altars have been around for a long time, and the yin spirits have basically been reincarnated with good fortune, and the owner of the bone altar he picked is estimated to have just left, so there is still a wisp of yin qi. Uncle Hong said: "Yin materials, as the name suggests, are all evil things, such as the hair of the corpse of the deceased, the soil on the tomb, and the funeral utensils in the coffin, all of which are high-quality yin materials. I felt disgusted when I heard this, and I couldn't imagine that I would have to use such an obscure thing to make a carrier of the Yin Spirit, so I said, "There are so many dead people's things, no wonder they all say that this is evil magic." ”

Uncle Hong glared at me, and then said to me seriously: "The same knife, in the hands of gangsters, it can kill people, in the hands of doctors, witchcraft is also a truth, the Vietnamese mage who killed your grandfather and uncle, wasn't he also a witch doctor who saved people and healed people before?" It all depends on the caster's intentions. I nodded my head to indicate that I had been taught.

Uncle Hong took out the deceased's skull and thigh bones from the bone altar, put them in a large pot, and then handed me an arm-thick medicine pestle, and asked me to mash all the bones, the more powdery the better, I took the medicine pestle and smashed it. Uncle Hong sat aside and smoked his long cigarette, and then continued to popularize the theory of spells to me.

Uncle Hong said that the method of our vein actually originates from the Wu technique, one of the three major techniques in southern Yunnan. Now there are Miao customs performances in the tourist attractions of the county, and there is a reserved program, that is, a group of young men dancing shirtless and wearing a large mask, which is actually the Nu dance, and it is also from the Nu arts, because the earliest Nu spell casters have to use the form of dance to communicate with the gods or yin spirits, and then it slowly evolved into a dance.

When I heard this, I asked, "Is that also related to the great god of dancing in the Northeast?" Uncle Hong said that the development of witchcraft in the land of Shenzhou has a history of thousands of years, and all kinds of methods must have similarities, but the beliefs are not necessarily the same.

I sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there were so many doorways in the world of spells, and I really lived to learn." Uncle Hong laughed when he heard it and said, "How old are you?" You think I'm pretty good, don't you? But what I know is only a drop in the dime, and there are many things I don't understand. That's why I want you to go to school and study, so that you can get out of this ravine and see more things in the future! "I said to Uncle Hong with emotion that I must study hard in the future, and he told me to hurry up and smash my bones and not be lazy.

It took me more than two hours to pestle the bones into bone residues the size of rice grains, and Uncle Hong asked me to grind the bone residues a little more after reading them, in short, the finer the better, and then he carried two large jars from the side of the Chiyou mural statue, and as soon as they opened, they rushed out a fishy smell, and I covered my nose on the side. Uncle Hong said that this is the tomb soil and the blood and hair of the deceased that he usually collects when he is fine.

Seeing that I had almost ground the bone residue, Uncle Hong poured the grave soil and hairy blood into the medicine cup, and told me to stir well, this choking smell made me nauseous, but I still kept stirring, Uncle Hong recited the mantra on the side, and I was not impressed by this mantra at all.

After Uncle Hong finished reciting the mantra, he took a handful of spoons and covered the medicine cup, and then asked me to carry the medicine cup to the mural of Chiyou, saying that today's work was completed, and then I went back to the village with Uncle Hong.

After breakfast the next day, Uncle Hong handed me a new mantra, which was also marked with Chinese characters in a homophonic way next to the Miao characters, and Uncle Hong told me that this is a mantra used when blessing the magic instrument, so that I can memorize it as soon as possible, and I will be able to use it in a few days. I think it's a little strange, why did you let me use this mantra in such a hurry, could it be that Uncle Hong wanted me to make my own magic weapon? I asked.

Uncle Hong said: "Every witch doctor has his own magic weapons, in addition to the ones left by the master, he must make some magic weapons by himself, and use them more easily." You've already seen my magic weapon, it's the witch mask and the witch knife. I hurriedly asked Uncle Hong if I also want to make masks and witch knives, Uncle Hong stroked his beard and said: "I am an ordinary person among witch doctors, and my spiritual sense is not as sensitive as yours, so I made a mask of Wu, which is used to improve my spiritual sense and protect myself, whether you need to make your own decisions, but I think you still need to have a witch knife." ”

I asked Uncle Hong what the role of the witch knife was, and Uncle Hong explained: "For those with ordinary mana, the witch knife is used to deter the resentful yin spirit and play a role in self-defense. I nodded and said I knew, but the witch knife is also a knife, although it is the size of a dagger, but I can't strike iron, how can this be made?

Uncle Hong saw my suspicion and handed me a note, which I opened and found with an address. Uncle Hong said: "You go to this shop and find an old man surnamed Hu, he is about the same age as me, you tell him that I asked you to collect debts, and if you don't repay your debts, you will rely on him and not leave!" Uncle Hong took out another piece of paper and handed it to me, saying: "This is something that he asked him to make for me, the materials and sizes are clearly written, you just give it to him and let him do it as soon as possible, but this can't be done in vain." After speaking, Uncle Hong took out 200 yuan and handed it to me.

I really don't know what kind of reputation Uncle Hong is doing, and he doesn't make his words clear, so he looks mysterious and mysterious like a spy joint. But I don't dare to talk nonsense, take the things and get ready to go, before leaving, Uncle Hong specially told me, let me and the old man surnamed Hu not need to be polite, I must urge him to make things as soon as possible, that thing is used to seal the five gods, and it will be troublesome if it is late. I pledged to complete the task as soon as possible.

I was trotting all the way, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and opened the address that Uncle Hong gave me to take a look, which read, "Shimenba Village, the west entrance of the village, paper shop." "This paper tie-up shop is a shop that sells and burns things for dead people, red men and green women, gold and silver bridges, is it possible that it can also do something else? I didn't dare to pause, but I still quickened my pace, because Shimenba Village was on the other side of the county, relatively far away, and I had never been to it before, so it might take a lot of trouble.

I have to say, usually used to hitchhiking, now I am not used to walking on my own legs, about eight o'clock in the evening I arrived at the county seat, this is still happened to meet a classmate riding a motorcycle to the county seat to run errands by the way to give me ten miles, otherwise my feet have to grind blood blisters, not to mention when I can walk to the Shimenba Village. I had breakfast today, and my stomach was already hungry, so I hurriedly bought two bowls of rice noodles from a street stall, and it was past nine o'clock after filling my stomach.

I originally planned to go back to Uncle Xingguo's house for the night, and then go to Shimenba Village tomorrow morning, after all, I am not familiar with the place, but I thought that Uncle Hong has not recovered after being injured, and the Yin Weapon of Wutong God is still lacking materials, and it may not last long to rely on the Buddha statue, in case I can't hold it before I go back, Uncle Hong will be difficult to deal with alone. After thinking about it, I decided to go to Shimenba Village right away, without further ado.

I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me stories, and when my grandfather really didn't have anything to tell, he told me about the origin of this nearby village. According to my grandfather, Shimenba Village was named because it is located at the foot of a strangely shaped stone mountain, which is not high, but looks like a dam from a distance, and a bit like a gate up close, hence the name of Shimenba Village. When I think of my grandfather, I can't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart, but at the same time, along with my fighting spirit, I must study hard and have the opportunity to get out of this ravine and live up to my grandfather's expectations for me.

Out of the county seat, I walked another twenty miles, and finally walked into this Shimenba village. After entering the village, I hurriedly walked to the west, fortunately, this village is not much bigger than Heishizhai Village, and it should not be difficult to find the destination along the main road in the village. But after a while, I felt furious, and felt that this village was strange.

Although we countrymen go to bed early at night, and I guess it's past eleven o'clock by now, and it's normal that there are no human voices, but I haven't heard a dog bark since I entered the village, which is a bit weird. If we walk in Heishizhai Village so late, it will definitely cause the dogs of the surrounding people to bark loudly, and the owner who can't sleep will go out to see and scold a few words, but this Shimenba Village is now quiet and can only hear my own footsteps.

But there was nothing unusual about this village except that it was quiet, and I didn't feel any resentful yin spirits nearby. I was wondering when I felt a chill coming at me from behind, and I hurriedly cursed my body, but a child's voice came from my head: "Big brother bullying me!" I'm not playing with you anymore! "When I looked back, it was a little boy in a sea soul shirt, crying and running away.

I wanted to chase after it, but I thought about it, it was pitiful for such a small yin spirit, and it was important to get down to business. I walked along the road to the west, and after a while I saw a small courtyard composed of two bungalows, standing alone at the entrance of the village, with a white lantern inserted at the entrance of the courtyard, on which were written four big characters: Hu Ji Paper Tie.
