Volume 1 Country Gossip Chapter 13 Sun Stick
"It seems that someone really wants to raise a little ghost with Fang Xuan! Generally, to raise a ghost, you must have a thing as a lodging, and the bones of the ghost are the first choice. Grandpa said.
"Lao Wu, can you calculate a hexagram, find out where this lost bone is, maybe you can find out that person." Master asked.
Grandpa Godfather nodded and said, "As long as he dares to carry it with him, I can find him personally!" I haven't had plum blossoms for more than a year, so let me do a good job for this poor boy today, and count the people behind the design! ”
After that, the godfather took out a plate-sized gossip compass from the cloth bag, put it on the ground, sat cross-legged, stood on his chest with his sword fingers, and read aloud on the ground: "Heaven and earth people, gossip is an image, all living beings are fickle, yin and yang are easy, chaos is auspicious, heaven and earth branches, that is, listen to my singing!" ”
While chanting the incantation in his mouth, Grandpa Goda took out a piece of yellow rune paper without words, drew an "S" shape in the air, and pasted it on Fang Xuan's kneecap that he found in the ruffian's house before.
In the blink of an eye, the yellow rune paper and the kneecap turned into red ashes, and the palm of Grandpa God's hand flipped over, and all the ashes fell on the compass. Then a whirlwind rose on the compass, rolling up the ashes and flying in the air, and at the same time I saw the hands on the compass begin to spin rapidly, and in less than ten seconds, it suddenly stopped, oscillating back and forth in both directions.
One direction, pointing to the river, and the other direction, pointing north, where the village is located.
At this time, the master had already reburied Fang Xuan's bones, and when he saw that Grandpa Gan had a result, he asked him how he was.
Grandpa muttered oh, there was a piece in the river before. Then he uttered a vague incantation, and the hand on the compass suddenly froze, pointing to the village to the north.
Then Grandpa asked us to follow him.
On the way, I whispered to Master what plum blossoms are easy to count.
Master told me that the plum blossom easy number is the divination method written by Shao Yong in the Song Dynasty according to Yi Xue, which is said to have originated from the secret method passed on by the Mai Taoist.
I asked Master again if he would.
He smiled dismally, and whispered that he was not as good as his grandfather Wu Ziming in this regard, and he had used it once when he was counting the life soul of a ruffian before, and he only calculated a range.
As a result, the godfather in front of him immediately heard a voice: "Haha, I can hear it!" Old Sun, you dead duck is not as good as me! ”
The master's face suddenly turned blue and purple for a while, and he muttered and scolded a stinky Taoist priest.
We followed the same path back to the village, and the pointer was pointing north, so we followed the river west all the way to the north of the village.
At this time, the pointer began to move, and as we circled, we found that the pointer clearly pointed to a renovated house in the north of the village.
This family surnamed Sun, originally lived two old people, and then the eldest son of the old man came back, for some reason, the two old people were driven to the second son's house, but he lived in this house, this eldest son is a single, we all call him Sun Stick, idle all day long, and like to gamble. He was an out-and-out bastard, and the elders in the village didn't let us come into contact with him for fear of being bullied.
But I don't know what the reason is, two years ago, Sun Stick made a windfall, so he renovated the house again, and took a kiss, but within a few months, his wife died violently, and this Sun Stick has been living alone.
These are also talked about in bits and pieces when listening to the people in the village, and I don't know whether they are true or false.
When we came to the door of Sun Stick's house, we looked up and saw a bundle of shriveled mugwort hanging on the door frame of their house, which should have not been replaced for a long time, but the strange thing was that the stem of the mugwort was painted with a layer of red paint, which was bright and eye-catching, as if it had not been brushed for a long time.
The master said with a calm face: "Aged mugwort is coated with cinnabar paint, which is a means to ward off evil spirits and prevent ghosts, and this family seems to know some ways. ”
"But," Master said, as soon as he spoke, "Ordinary people only need to hang fresh mugwort, but ordinary ghosts will not easily enter the house, only those who want to guard against powerful ghosts will do this, what is the reason why this family will attract powerful ghosts?" Yunyi, you've been with us for a few days, let's talk about it. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, since Grandpa Gan's pointer pointed to this place, then this family must have nothing to do with Fang Xuan, so I said, "Fang Xuan's ghast is inside?" ”
Master patted my head lightly to show his appreciation, and said, "The family that raises little ghosts has a heavy evil spirit, and the little ghosts must be sacrificed with blood and souls, and they are naturally hated, and they are easy to provoke powerful ghosts to attack. ”
I began to understand that Master was teaching me, consciously or unconsciously, and only at this time, Master would talk about things in great detail.
Grandpa stepped forward and knocked on the door, after a long time, I heard a sound from inside, and after a while, the door was opened a crack, revealing a thin face that did not wake up, a pockmarked face, it was Sun Stick, he seemed to have just gotten up, his hair was messy and greasy, it seemed that he had not washed his head for a long time, and his eyelids were full of brown and black eye droppings, which made people uncomfortable.
Seeing that Grandpa Goda was dressed in a Taoist robe and still holding a compass in his hand, Sun Stick was shocked, and closed the door with a bang, and there was an angry shout: "Get out, swaggering bastard, get out!" Lao Tzu does not tell fortunes. ”
Master and Godpa looked at each other and finally came to a conclusion that there was something wrong with this person!
In this way, we were even more sure that Fang Xuan's phalanges were in the room.
However, when we think that the person mentioned by Grandma Fang is a foreigner, we can't help but wonder, what role does this Sun stick play? Why is Fang Xuan's phalanges in his house?
However, now that the sun is high and there are many pedestrians in the village, Master can't pick the lock in broad daylight.
So we walked around the house, and found that the windows were closed, and the curtains were drawn, and we couldn't see anything inside, let alone open the windows.
I could only stand at the door and stare dryly, and my godfather went to knock on the door again, and this time it was silence that responded to us.
At this time, Master's attention shifted to an empty old house next to me and asked me why no one lived in this house.
I suddenly remembered that this family is the family that my grandmother said that her daughter-in-law died of difficulty and her husband was crazy. So I told the Master.
The master immediately said a word to go in and have a look, and pushed open the unlocked door.
The house was empty, with only the broken cobwebs on the beams and a thick layer of dust.
This kind of house is the only one in the village, the old house, which entrusts the thoughts and concerns of migrant workers for their homes and relatives, even if the ancestors pass away and the old house is abandoned, no one will empty the house and completely cut off the way back.
However, this is the only one.
No one knows why.
Master and Grandpa entered the house slowly, and instead of looking east and west, they went straight up to the attic, and found the small window facing Sun Stickzi's house, and looked out through the window, because the two buildings were staggered, and we could see the north window of Sun Stick's house.
Master nodded, as if he had a plan in mind, and told us to come back in the evening.
I was stunned, they hadn't slept all night, could it be that they had to come back all night? Even immortals can't stand such work!
As soon as we went back, the master and the godfather lay down on the bed, and fell asleep upside down. I've never seen such a battle, and I'm stunned.
So the two old men slept all day, and only got up at dinner.
I took advantage of this time to go to see the ruffian with Brother Chen Xing, and his soul returned, and he was already able to jump and jump, so happy. The circle of panda eyes has not been able to retreat, which has caused Aunt Zhang to stare at me vigorously.
The ruffian has no heart and no lungs, so he naturally doesn't care, and even the things in the well are left behind, pulling me to ask me what the origin of my master and godfather is, looking like a master in the TV series who subdues demons and destroys demons.
I haven't talked about their origins with me, and I can't tell you clearly, I only know that one is a cheap master, and the other is a godfather who popped out inexplicably, and his ability is first-class. At the end, he still envied me, there are two masters by his side, he can learn one and a half skills, and he can break into the rivers and lakes, and he has put on his own martial arts dream, like a second-year teenager who is addicted to watching martial arts movies.
The ruffian reminded me that Master had asked me if I would like to leave my hometown with him, and I agreed, but I didn't think much about the future. After I leave home, Master will take me back to Master and practice the Dharma, and then, what about when I grow up? It's impossible to stay in the division for the rest of your life.
However, the question of the future will always be known only to the future, and I want to break my head, and I have no idea.
At night, Master saw that the time was almost up, so he took me and my godfather to the abandoned old mansion. Tonight's sky, with no stars in sight, a thick layer of clouds, pressed low, and a biting wind blew from the northwest, like a knife, and cut his cheeks painfully.
The doors and windows of the abandoned house were in tatters, as if people had their front teeth knocked out. As soon as we entered the house, a chill spread from our heels to the top of our heads, and this chill was so deep that no matter how thick our clothes were, we couldn't resist it.
We didn't have any fingers in the house, and we didn't bring flashlights or candles for fear of startling the snakes. Master and Grandpa's eyes shone brightly in the darkness, as if they would glow.
The two of them crouched on the windowsill of the attic, quietly observing the movement next door.
Sun Stick's house next door was also dark, but there was a faint jingling sound, telling us that Sun Stick was at home. As for why he didn't light the lamp, thinking that our appearance today aroused his vigilance, he will raise little ghosts, obviously know some ways, such a person is naturally taboo to meet people who have attained the Tao, just like a person who has stolen things is afraid when he sees the police.
Grandpa Gan has the breath of fairy wind bones, and others know at a glance that this person is a master of Taoism, not to mention Sun Stick.
I wonder if Sun Stick is going to pack up and slip away in the middle of the night. If that's the case, he's running into our guns.
Time passes by minute by second, and the wait is always long and unbearable.
I began to doze off, my head pecked at the rice with the chicken, and my mind began to drift away.
Suddenly, a small voice came into my ears, and my hair stood on end, and I woke up suddenly, only to see that Master and Godfather also set their eyes on the room at the same time.
The voice, like a woman sobbing, was miserable and miserable.
Woowoo......
