Chapter 41: Humans, Ghosts, and Spirits (I)
The altar is arranged, the Pingyang Taoist and the master are busy with their work, the Pingyang Taoist is getting a piece of the trunk of a peach tree, is cutting a sharp peach stake, there is a pile of red silk threads next to him, and beside him, there is a thigh-thick willow tree trunk, about a foot high, I don't know what the Pingyang Taoist people do with these. And the master did not open the altar to draw talismans as usual, but made a piece of red paper and used a brush to draw runes on it.
Those runes of dragons and phoenixes dancing, I can't understand it at all, there seems to be a human-shaped talisman in the middle, and it is very powerful and domineering.
Only I stood aside and had nothing to do, quietly waiting for the master to send me a fight, but I always had a feeling of waiting to fight with people in my heart, and I had the same feeling when I was in this ravine hometown, when I was a child, I fought with children in the same village, and made an appointment with the time and place, and before the time came, I waited so quietly.
But when I was eating and dressing, I hadn't seen anyone waiting to fight, but seeing Master's serious expression, I had no choice but to suppress the ridiculous thoughts in my heart, but when I thought of a question, I couldn't help but ask Master, "Master, where is my own soul when I send the fight?" ”
Master looked up at me inexplicably, and then continued to draw, as if he didn't answer me at all, I was stunned, did I ask a question that shouldn't be asked?
"Of course your soul is in your body, can you still run away from the nine heavens?" But after a while, Master suddenly replied, just this kind of answer, which made me feel that Master was reprimanding me for ignorance, but Master quickly said: "A person's body can accommodate two people's souls at most, that is, three souls and seven souls are doubled, becoming six souls and fourteen souls, and any more will not work, but that kind of situation is extremely rare, and you can only ask the gods to get the lower realm, not the true body of the gods, so it will not hinder you, but you will no longer be able to control your body by then, you can only watch, And you can't do anything, and you don't have to panic when you see anything, so as not to disturb the gods. ”
"Oh, I see, but which god will Master ask to send you in the future?" I asked curiously.
"It has nothing to do with you which god will send you to fight, it's just borrowing your body to do it." The master replied angrily.
"Uh......" A black line floated in front of my eyes, obviously using my body to send a hit, how could Master say that it had nothing to do with me? It was clearly perfunctory to me, and I didn't bother with the master anymore, turned around and came to the side of the Pingyang Daoist, and asked curiously: "Pingyang Daoist, what are you doing with this piece of willow wood?" ”
"Don't!" Before I could touch it, the people of Pingyang Dao immediately put the willow wood aside like a baby, and didn't let me touch it at all.
"Uh, what about these mahogany stakes? I'll help you sharpen it. I quickly and enthusiastically picked up a piece of mahogany.
"No, no, no." Pingyang Taoist hurriedly took the peach wood from my hand, and then continued to concentrate on cutting the peach stake, I was stunned, these two people, it seems that they don't let me know anything, and they don't let me participate, making me look like an outsider, I sighed lightly, shook my hand and left.
"Where are you going?!" I was just about to step out of the gate when Master's voice suddenly came.
"I, I'm going out for a walk." I shook my head speechlessly, and then said, "Master, I was supposed to deal with a big character tonight, but what you did didn't seem to have my share, I couldn't help you, and no one paid attention to me, I think I'm just a superfluous person." ”
Pingyang Daoist smiled at me at the moment, sharpened the peach wood stake, and said with a smile: "Ergou, it's not that we don't let you participate, but you don't understand the doorway here, rash participation, not only can not help, but will add chaos, just now that willow wood I have blessed a yin talisman, if your hand touches it, it will mess up the spiritual power of the yin talisman, and these peach wood nails, but I blessed the yang fiery talisman, if your hand has been contaminated, it will also be bad, so you don't do anything, just help me, hehe." ”
"Are my hands that strong?" I raised my hand and looked, at this moment, my body shook violently, almost fell to the ground, only to feel that the earthquake was coming, but when I listened carefully, it was a heavy footstep outside the village, boom, boom, with this heavy footsteps approaching, the surrounding trees suddenly swept up a distance of black wind, fiercely blowing towards the Wang family's house, I shouted in horror: "Master! Ghost General! Here it comes! ”
"Know for the teacher!" The brush in Master's hand suddenly sped up, and the runes on the red paper were gradually filled, but there were still some gaps, and Master was obviously a little anxious at the moment.
"Master, hurry up! It's going to be too late! I ran to Master in a hurry and shouted loudly.
"What's the hurry!" Master glared at me, but cold sweat was evident on his forehead, and the tip of the pen in his hand was swimming towards the dragon snake, which was extremely fast. Just as the last stroke stopped, Master grabbed me by the shoulder and shouted, "Sit down cross-legged!" ”
"Yes!" I was already ready, just waiting for Master's words, and as soon as Master spoke, I immediately sat down cross-legged.
"Take off your shirt!" Master shouted angrily again.
"Huh?" I was stunned at first, then I immediately tore off my shirt, shook it off vigorously, and sat shirtless on the ground.
As soon as Master saw that I was ready, he immediately shouted, "As long as you suffer a loss, your heart will be refreshed!" ”
I didn't understand what the master meant, so I immediately sat upright and decisively put all the distractions behind, and at this moment, the heavy footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, my heart was beating slightly, but the Pingyang Daoist not far away was also panicked, and put those wooden stakes and wooden nails into the cloth bag, as well as those red silk threads, and when everything was cleaned up, the Pingyang Daoist jumped to a corner with the cloth bag on his back and waited, as if waiting for me and the master to cast a spell.
"Maoshan sends real magic skills, the eight generalissimos show their magical powers, and although Mr. Jiuhou is drunk, he also knows the east, west, north and south winds!" Master immediately dotted cinnabar with a brush, and came behind me with an arrow, the tip of the pen quickly drawing a series of charms on my back and chest, and reciting the incantations in my mouth with great urgency.
After drawing the spell, the master picked up the drawn spiritual map, rolled it with one hand, pinched the sword finger with his left hand and swiped it in the air, only to see the spiritual map suddenly burned, the master took advantage of the situation to put a bowl of water placed on it, and threw the burning spiritual map into the bowl, and then picked up the bowl and told me: "Drink!" ”
"Oh!" At the same time, the master grabbed a handful of incense, first shook it on the candle, and then shook it in his hand, only to see that the incense flashed out of the fire, and just lit it, the master raised his left foot and stomped on the ground three times, and grabbed the handful of incense and slammed it on my chest and back, and said urgently: "The disciple looks at the blue sky, all the masters are by his side, eighteen arhats, twenty-four flavors of the heavens, help the disciple, Teach the ruler to drag the knife, the knife to turn into goose feathers, the iron ruler into the lamp grass, the stone in the center of the roll into a blister, a body into copper skin and iron bones, into Taishan, with twelve iron hats on the head, wearing twelve iron armor, three turns of the copper bag, three times of the iron bag, all the masters, all the generals, help the disciples to send and fight, as urgent as the law! ”
As soon as Master's mantra was recited, my whole body suddenly went numb, and then it was empty, and I only felt that my body and mind became empty at this moment, as if I no longer belonged to my body, and when I looked down, I saw a person who was exactly like me sitting cross-legged on the ground, and immediately frightened me, and hurriedly looked left and right, but I couldn't see my own body, is it ...... Am I out of body now?
Master said that no matter what I see, I must remain calm, so I can't panic, and when I think of this, I immediately stabilize my mind, and I think that this should be the beginning of the Divine Skill.
And my body, at the moment, is shaking violently, very much like the cold winter wax moon day frozen shivering, at this moment the master's right hand pinched out the three mountain tricks to my body to the empty point, and said urgently: "Please Xuantan Dharma Protector Four Marshal Emperor Guan Shengjun, obey the order in front of the altar!" ”
It turns out that the god invited by the master is Guan Gong, by the way, that Guan Gong uses the Qinglong Glaive Knife, how can there be that kind of big long knife on the ground? But seeing that the master's words just fell, my body suddenly opened my eyes, jumped up, left hand turned palm forward, right hand turned palm down, a row of ancient military generals, I was suddenly happy, I didn't expect me to put on a posture, it was so powerful and domineering, the master immediately changed the three mountains into a sword finger, and the left hand picked up a military command flag, and shouted angrily: "Quickly kill the demon and evil general, urgent as the law!" ”
At this moment, when I looked at my body again, I couldn't see clearly, but there was a little faint white light to cover it, and I couldn't see the whole picture at all, and my consciousness was also blurring little by little, just seeing my body take three steps forward, I jumped up and jumped out of the courtyard wall of the Wang family, and then, I couldn't see anything.
But afterwards, according to Pingyang Daoren, he saw it, and told me the process of my fight with the ghost general, 1510, of course, this sounds weird, let others tell me what I have done, but those are not what I did, but the gong of sending the fight, and when I suddenly woke up from the haze, I had already appeared outside the village of Changsu, chest, legs, there was severe pain everywhere, and the ghost general, but he fell to the ground, the cold wind was howling, I held my arms, but I saw the Pingyang Taoist in the distance, He looked at me with a demented look on his face, like he was looking at a monster.
