Chapter 24: The Headless Maitreya
Looking at Song Yu's sad and moving eyes, where did I dare to refuse, I quickly agreed.
"In this way, we are a family. Don't worry, I, as a mother-in-law, will never embarrass you in the future. Aunt Han Bing took Song Yu's arm and said kindly.
Song Yu's face was red when she heard this, and the little girl's mentality was fully revealed.
"Hmph, if you want to be someone's mother-in-law, you have to see if your father agrees with you marrying Fan Shenstick first!" Han Leng said with an unhappy face.
Now there are two pairs among the five of us, which puts Han Leng in a very embarrassing position, so everyone can understand his unhappiness.
After destroying the pompous ghosts, the crisis of the corpse pink butterfly was also solved, and we continued to move forward. On the other side of the Yin-Yang Tomb, I found a stone staircase that rotated downward, and this step was designed to be so narrow that I couldn't pass it in a wheelchair. Han Leng picked me up horizontally and walked sideways.
This walk took more than twenty minutes, and the steps were always in a state of spiraling downward, and Han Leng was a little unbearable no matter how good his physical strength was. My breathing became heavier, and the sweat on my face fell on me in large gulps.
"Fan Shenzhu, isn't this right?" Han Leng gasped and asked my dad.
"It's really a little wrong, it seems like a ghost hitting the wall." My dad said calmly.
Many supernatural novels or ghost stories often mention ghosts hitting walls, and there are many ways to crack ghost walls.
In fact, the easiest way to crack the ghost wall is to go backwards and go back, because the ghost is one of the few good ghosts, and the reason why it prevents you from moving forward is because there is danger ahead.
"Fan Shenzhu, are you deliberately playing with me? Since you knew that it was a ghost hitting the wall, why don't you hurry up and find a way to break it? Your son is more than 100 pounds, and my arm is numb from the pressure. Han Leng said unhappily.
"Didn't I just remember that. Now everyone takes off the shoes on their left feet and throws them towards the upper left side of the body. When you're done, stand on one foot with your right leg, wait for me to say it's okay to go, and then put your left foot down and walk forward. ”
Han Leng put me down first, helped me take off the shoe on my left foot, and threw it towards the upper left. After everyone threw away their shoes and stood on one foot on their right leg for about two minutes, Dad said they could go.
Shoes can't be picked up after they are thrown out, so everyone has to walk barefoot on one foot.
After a short walk down, the stairs finally came to an end. In front of us is a dark river with a chain bridge for single traffic, and an eerie temple on the opposite side of the bridge.
Dad stood at the head of the bridge, grabbed a five-baht coin and threw it into the water first. After the five-baht coin fell into the water, countless bubbles immediately bulged on the surface of the water.
"The water is weird, so be careful when you cross it. So far, there is still a terrible ghost that has not appeared, and opposite is the temple of the ancestors of the Huang family, and the terrible ghost will never dare to enter. So in the end, this ghost is either in the water or on the bridge. Dad said.
The ghosts in the water are called drowned ghosts, and they appear in many people. This kind of ghost is very difficult to catch, because the water is yin, and the drowned ghost hides in the water and borrows the terrain, so it is easy to avoid the attack spell of the Taoist priest.
The best way to deal with drowning ghosts is to seal off the water so that people don't wash their clothes or go swimming near the water. Then plant the five yin trees around the water area to absorb the yin qi, such as willow trees, poplar trees, locust trees, etc., and use the five yin trees to absorb the yin qi of the water area. In this way, the drowning ghosts in the water will slowly weaken to death because they cannot be replenished by the yin qi.
As for the waters that cannot be enclosed, such as the great rivers, poplars and willows are planted on both sides of the river.
I've talked about drowning ghosts above, and let's talk about ghosts on the bridge.
When you mention the bridge, you will think of the Nai He Bridge, and when you think of the Nai He Bridge, you will think of Meng Po, a bowl of Meng Po soup will be in the stomach, and the future will be like a cloud of smoke.
That's why the ghost on this bridge is called the ghost of forgetting. The Yin Body of the Forgetful Ghost is very special, and it is not easy for people who have opened their yin eyes to see it, unless it deliberately asks you to see it.
If it was really a ghost of forgetting worries, Dad and Han Bing would be able to pass without hindrance, and the cultivators would be in a stable state of mind and would not be bewitched by the ghosts. Han Leng is an iron-blooded man, his will is like iron, and there is no problem when he walks over.
Song Yu and I are difficult, Song Yu is sad about the death of my sister, and I have also been sad because of the separation from Bai Qingxue.
"Han Bing, you go over and try it first." Dad whispered.
"Okay, Brother Sword."
After Aunt Han Bing finished speaking, the lotus step shook lightly and stepped on the chain bridge. The chain bridge is made up of two chains on the bottom for walking, and one chain on the top for hand support. Aunt Han Bing is also a person who is really angry, and she recited a lightweight trick at the moment, and she didn't even shake a little when she walked on the chain.
But when she reached the middle of the bridge, she paused for a moment, and then continued walking. The bridge is about twenty meters long, and it took Aunt Han Bing thirty seconds.
"It's a Forgetner." After arriving on the other side, Aunt Han Bing reminded us.
Han Leng gently put me down, and the second one walked across the Tielian Bridge.
"Song Yu, you can go over too. Remember that no matter what happens, you pretend not to see. In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. The more free and easy your state of mind is, the weaker the charm of the ghost will be. No life, you have to do the same later. Dad said.
Song Yu stepped on the bridge and looked at me deeply.
I understood what she meant, and raised the jade gourd around her neck to her.
Song Yu walked very slowly, but his footsteps never stopped. Even when facing the ghost in the middle of the bridge, it was only a little slower, and finally walked steadily across the chain bridge.
"This girl has an excellent heart and has the talent for enlightenment. In the future, she will be by your side to take care of you, and your father will be relieved. Now give me the jade gourd and walk across the river. ”
I obediently took off the jade gourd and handed it to my father, and then endured the pain on my body and walked forward step by step with the chain.
Without the jade gourd on my chest, I felt empty in my heart. When the heart is empty, it is inevitable that you want to fill it.
I have no internet addiction, no sex addiction, and I basically don't eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, smoke. There aren't many things that can fill the void in my heart, except for Bai Qingxue.
As for Song Yu, I didn't really keep her in my heart. I made up my mind that I would find a suitable opportunity to explain it to her when I went out. The three things that my father said are impossible to find, I am destined to live a marriage contract with Bai Qingxue for the rest of my life, so why bother with Song Yu.
"Young man, why do you have a slight sorrow between your eyebrows?"
The Sanssouci ghost appeared, dressed in white, and looked at me coldly and said. Her face is three points more delicate than Bai Qingxue, without a trace of human fireworks.
"What the hell are you doing?" I scolded her.
Sanssouci was visibly stunned for a moment, then smiled and disappeared.
I thought to myself that this ghost was so easy to deal with, so I kept going. As I walked, I found that the scenery around me had changed, and I seemed to have returned to a small courtyard in the southern suburbs of Jiangbei City.
There is a couple in the hall who are holding a traditional wedding, the groom is me, and the bride is Bai Qingxue.
Dad cleared his throat and shouted in a high voice: "One worships heaven and earth, the second worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other." ”
When Bai Qingxue and I finish worshipping, as long as we drink another glass of wine, this ceremony will be completed.
I passed the glass around Bai Qingxue's wrist to her lips, and she took a deep sip and frowned slightly.
Then she followed my example and brought the glass to my lips.
The smell of the sauce-scented wine was so appealing that I swallowed my saliva and was about to drain the wine from the glass in one gulp.
Just as my lips were about to stick to the wine, something suddenly occurred to me.
Bai Qingxue is a yin body, she can't drink, she just needs to smell the fragrance, but why did she suddenly take a sip just now?
As soon as I thought about it, my head began to dizzy, and the whole world seemed to be spinning. I couldn't stand it anymore and quickly closed my eyes, and when the dizziness had passed, I opened my eyes again, and it turned out that I was still standing in the middle of the chain bridge.
"It's dangerous!"
At that moment, I no longer hesitated, and endured my physical discomfort and walked across the chain bridge.
Later, my father also got on the chain bridge, and when I walked to the middle of the bridge, my father opened his mouth and scolded: "No one can deceive, what use do you say?" ”
Then I saw that the water below the bridge was broken, as if something had fallen into it. I guess it must be the one who forgot his worries and jumped into the river in shame.
……
The temple gate is three zhang high, there is a statue on the left and right in front of the door, a yellow skin essence of fairy wind bones, and a woman who does not cover her body. This time, Dad didn't hesitate, and pushed open the heavy temple door with both hands, which was made of wood, and made a tooth-aching sound when pushed open.
After entering the main gate of the temple in the world, you will first see a golden-bodied smiling Maitreya Buddha, shyly stomach, smiling at the pilgrims entering the temple.
On the left and right sides of Maitreya Buddha, there is usually a couplet, which reads: The big belly can tolerate, and the world can tolerate the intolerable. Laugh often, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.
The temple in front of me is no exception, there is also a golden-bodied Maitreya, but it is a headless Maitreya.
The golden body Maitreya was stained, dark red as blood, and there was faint black gas coming out of the broken cavity. At Maitreya's feet are two futons, on which are kneeling two headless pilgrims.
Looking at the pilgrim's clothes, it seems that he is a Taoist priest, and he doesn't know how long he has been dead. The corpse had been air-dried, and the clothes looked intact, but that was because of the hourglass of time.
The hourglass of time is one of the most unsolved mysteries in the archaeological world, when excavating ancient tombs, sometimes the contents look complete, but as soon as they are taken out of the tomb, they will instantly turn black into powder.
"It seems that we are not the first people to come here, these two Daoists from Dragon and Tiger Mountain came earlier." Dad said with great emotion.
"If they were the first to break in, then why were we still haunted by those nine ghosts? It stands to reason that they should have been broken a long time ago. Han Leng said.
"Maybe this ancient tomb has been strengthened by the descendants of the Huang family, and the tomb may have been made up later. However, I believe in the second possibility, the two of them are proficient in the art of the five elements. Dad continued to explain.
The ancestors of the Huang family planted the tomb to guard the dead and surrendered, sealed the nine fierce ghosts to form a place of corpses, and summoned evil spirits to spread curses in the bloody soil, and the eagle and fox were recruited because they had been in contact with the bloody soil for too long.
These methods may seem powerful, but they only work for ordinary tomb robbers. If it is a master of the Daomen before the Qing Dynasty, you only need to calculate the direction, and you can enter the tomb gate by performing the earth escape in the Five Elements Technique, and you don't even need to dig a hole for robbery.
It is a pity that the art of the five elements disappeared from the world all of a sudden after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. As for why it disappeared, it seems to be related to the advent of the era of the end of the law.
"Dad, then according to your speculation, these two people's abilities should be only higher than yours, why did they die here? Where are their heads? ”
"yes, where are their heads? Song Yu, come and tell my son. Dad didn't answer me directly, but turned his head to ask Song Yu.
"Brother-in-law, you are so stupid, their heads must be in the belly of the headless Maitreya. A big belly can tolerate, and the world can't tolerate things, and a big belly can also be eaten. ”
"Hehe, really smart, much better than my son." Dad said approvingly.
"Dad, the headless Maitreya is so terrifying, how can we enter the temple?"
"We're not afraid, because we have this."
After speaking, my father took out something from his baggage, which was the blood Buddha head that my father exchanged for at Huang Sanye's birthday banquet.
