Chapter 55: The Fire Ghost in the Well (Part II)
It turned out that the fire ghost in the well was the same as the ghost in Xiashikeng Village, and they all came to Shangshikeng Village in the past three months, but Lin Aiwen deliberately avoided the matter of Xiashikeng Village, and only told us about the fire ghost in Shangshikeng Village. Although the fire ghost came to Shangshikeng Village about the same time as the ghost of Xiashikeng Village, they were all foreign ghosts, and they were not transformed by the locals after their deaths, but this fire ghost didn't seem to fit in, at least he never interacted with Xiashikeng Village.
And it seems that because of this fire ghost in Shangshikeng Village, the ghosts of Xiashikeng Village rarely offend the moldy head of Shangshikeng Village. Speaking of this fire ghost, it almost tortured the Lin family to the point of pain, if it wasn't for the point where there was really no way, how could they be willing to sacrifice to the fire ghost every day?
That is, more than two months ago, Grandpa Lin inexplicably saw a fire man in a dream, and led the fire on his body to the Lin family's house, instantly putting the Lin family into the fire, and Grandpa Lin was even more like being caught in the sea of fire, and the severe pain of being scorched and even dying, although he woke up and found that it was a dream, he still had a serious illness. Not only Grandpa Lin, but even Grandpa Lin's second son Lin Xingwen and third son Lin Aiwen and their two families also dreamed of the fire ghost every night, and unexpectedly, every day they woke up, the water tank at home was empty.
Something inexplicably drank up the water.
And there are still traces of fire in the water tank, which makes the Lin family scared one by one into a mental disorder, and gradually after six or seven days, as long as there is water in the water tank every day, once it is the next day, it will be empty. The second Lin Xingwen and the third Lin Aiwen were both angry and afraid, seeing that the life of the family was disrupted, it was a mess, Grandpa Lin was sick in bed, and the children in the family were crying every night, the two brothers together, ran to the village and shouted, asking what the ghost was going to do.
Subsequently, Lin Aiwen heard a terrible ghost howl inexplicably coming from the courtyard of the house where there was an ancient well in the village, and the sound was as if it came from the Nine Hells, which was terrifying. But since the ghosts and monsters have made trouble to this point, Lin Xingwen didn't stop doing anything, ran to the edge of an ancient well with a woodcutter, and shouted insults at the ancient well. It's okay not to scold, at that time, the two brothers Lin Xingwen and Lin Aiwen saw the fire ghost in the ancient well.
According to the description, it was a fierce ghost with a burning body and sharp fangs, so scared that the two brothers turned around and ran, but as soon as they turned around, the two actually collided with each other, Lin Aiwen's feet were unstable, and his head slammed on the edge of the ancient well, and a trace of blood flowed out, and they saw that after the blood was dripping into the ancient well, it was swallowed by the fire ghost with sharp mouth and fangs, and since then, they have understood that the fire ghost likes to eat human blood and water.
But even if the fire ghost wants to eat blood, no one can cut the blood vessels and let it drink it, right? And the fire ghost also seems to be interested, Lin Aiwen and his brothers have tried, at most three drops of blood and a bowl of water can fill the fire ghost at a time, no matter how much it is, it is useless. And the fire spirit only eats fresh sacrifices, and it is useless after an hour.
Since then, before breakfast, noon, and dinner, they have a family of three small families, and they can only sacrifice like this to maintain the peace of the fire spirit. It's strange to say that this method of sacrifice has been used for nearly three months, and it is really safe and sound, but today may be because the arrival of Master and I disrupted the time of sacrifice in their family, and provoked the fire ghost to roar and scream!
Hearing this, the master frowned tightly and said, "All ordinary fire ghosts are trapped in the sea of hell and fire because of their obsessions, to put it simply, if they are burned to death by fire during their lifetime, they will fall into the endless sea of fire and hell after death, and they cannot be detached, but the fire only causes harm to it, and it cannot harm others, because the fire is originally the embodiment of its obsession, and others do not have this obsession, so they are not hurt." But in your story, it is clear that the fire demon can cause the fire around you to hurt you, which means that the fire in its body may not be the reason for it to become like this! ”
"Uh......" I scratched the back of my head and asked blankly, "Master, I still don't understand, are you saying that the fire ghost was not burned to death before he died?" ”
The master actually nodded, and then said, "If it wasn't burned to death during its lifetime, then there are two other possibilities that will cause ordinary ghosts to turn into fire ghosts. One is to be burned by the fire talisman, but usually refined by the fire talisman, it will not regenerate the ferocious qi, and even the fire talisman in the Taoist arts, which can burn the ghost's previous life memories into nothingness, this is the method of refining the ghost and evil, after being refined, like a newborn baby, the heart is pure, and it can be reincarnated. The other is the invasion of evil fire, which is said to be the evil fire, not the wind and cold qi that the doctor said, but the evil qi of the demon, the mountain spirits and ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, and even the walking dead, by chance, by the sun and the moon, and the earth's qi veins, can become their own climate, or ride the wind and air, or take the fire and take the disease, and everywhere they pass, all kinds of creatures are affected by it, and once they encounter this kind of demon, and are injured by it, they can't get rid of it, just like the fire ghost in the ancient well, it likes to eat blood and water, both of which are restrained by fire, well, which shows that the fire on the fire ghost is not originally owned, but was injured by some kind of demon and came here to take refuge! ”
"Master, what kind of demon can turn an ordinary ghost into a ferocious fire ghost?" I asked, stunned.
The master glared at me and said, "Didn't the master already say that the world is so big, but any evil obstacle with a little Taoism can be protected from fire and disaster, and being able to turn an ordinary ghost into a fire ghost can only show that the path of the evil obstacle is not shallow, but as for what kind of evil obstacle it is, how does the teacher know?!" But ......"
"But what?"
At the same time, I and the others asked Master almost in unison.
Master looked at us and hurriedly explained, "But although we don't know, the fire ghost must know what kind of evil obstacle made it look like this, and it should know best." But the fire ghost has been fed by your Lin family with its own blood for a long time now, and the human nature has long been extinguished, and the ghost nature is afraid that it will be difficult to protect, and it is difficult to ask the reason from its mouth, perhaps, it is difficult...... If you continue to feed it, sooner or later you will become a demon and come out. If you regret it at that time, it will be really too late, unless you lead the Nine Heavens Thunder Law to kill it, it will be difficult for ordinary Dao techniques to hurt it! ”
When Grandpa Lin heard this, he immediately sighed anxiously: "Mr. Yang, if you don't say this, we don't understand the Tao here, how would we know that feeding that fire ghost would bring such a big disaster...... I thought that if we fed it like this, we could live in peace with it, and we couldn't drive it away, at least it wouldn't come up to pester us anymore, so, what should we do now? ”
"Don't be impatient, old man." The master frowned, and then muttered: "Three months of drought, people and animals are uneasy, and there is actually a group of inexplicable ghosts who have left their hometown and come to live in a strange place. What's hidden here? Where did so many ghosts come from? And what happened in that place? ”
Although Master's voice was very small, I still heard a few words clearly, and I couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you talking about?" ”
"Nothing." The master froze and said with a serious face: "That fire ghost is extremely fierce, you must destroy it, but it goes with the leyline, and you have too many ancient wells in Shikeng Village, so it also deliberately avoids me, and if you want to get rid of that fire ghost, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”
Grandpa Lin hurriedly spoke again: "If Mr. Yang has a way to help us, let us do anything!" ”
The master nodded slightly, and said, "If you want to get rid of that fire ghost, you must force that fire ghost outside, otherwise it will be difficult to trap it at the bottom of the well, but it deliberately avoids it, and I am afraid that it will not work." And I want to ask why the fire demon is here, and why it is the way it is, there must be some amazing secrets hidden in it. Well, since the fire demon likes to eat blood, we might as well give it another bowl of blood! ”
"Huh?" Grandpa Lin looked at the master in horror, and then said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Yang, didn't you just say that the fire ghost can't feed it blood water anymore?" Why do you have to feed blood water again? ”
The master smiled strangely and said, "Don't panic, old man, the blood water I am talking about is not the ordinary blood water used in your sacrifice, I want to use the water to pretend to be blood water, if I can lure the fire ghost to drink, I think it will still be able to get rid of the fire tribulation on its body, once the fire tribulation is removed, it will definitely return to its original appearance, and at that time, everything will be much easier." But...... However, if it refuses to drink the water, it will be self-defeating and arouse its ferocity, and then this method can no longer be used. So you can only try this method once, but it really doesn't work......"
I was stunned, and asked solemnly, "Master, it's really not good, what should I do?" ”
Master looked at me and sighed lightly: "It's really not good, so I can only fight with my ability, and use the most direct method to destroy that fire ghost!" After speaking, the master pinched his fingers, then glanced at the sky outside, turned to get up and walked to the front of the god case, took out three sticks of incense and lit them, and after bowing down, he said to the Lin family father and son, "Get another bowl of water!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Aiwen hurriedly looked at Grandpa Lin, and after getting Grandpa Lin's affirmative answer, Lin Aiwen turned around and walked out, and after a while, he took a bowl of water and sent it to the master. Master picked up the bowl and placed it on top of the case, and then took out paper, a pen, cinnabar ink, and a master knife that I had almost never seen Master take out!
