Chapter 9: Hit the road
Fang Xuan's face was serious, and he said solemnly: "Later, I will cast a spell to let your souls out of the body, and a wandering soul will lead you to the Spirit Mission...... Along the way, you must not talk to the geist so as not to distract him......"
"If, on the way, you meet a spirit who comes up to ask for something, you can divide the contents of the basket according to the situation...... If you see a spirit, a debilitated and bony spirit, you will be hindered...... Then you will know that this is a starving ghost, and you can give him an egg, and he will let you go......"
Ah Hai said: "Then what are these five copper coins for? ”
Fang Xuan said: "Say, along the way, you meet a wandering spirit selling things and block your way...... With the copper money in this basket you can buy their goods...... But...... Remember, you must not buy more than three copper coins...... No matter how exciting things you see along the way, remember not to be fooled......"
When Fang Xuan said this, he was extremely cautious, word by word, and repeatedly admonished.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai looked at each other, although they didn't know why Fang Xuan looked like this, but they also kept it in mind.
Fang Xuan said, "The items you bought will be placed in the basket. ”
"Okay, we got it." Liu Laosan nodded and said, "Then what is the use of these candles, charms and letters?" ”
Fang Xuan said: "The charm is for you to use in case of emergency, if you are really unlucky, and you encounter a powerful ghost among the wandering souls, you will use this charm to deal with him...... When you come to the door of the Spiritual's house, you light the candles in this basket, one on the left and one on the right, and place them at both ends of the door, and enter into the mansion, and make offerings to the Lingcha as offerings, and then give the letters in the basket to the Lingcha as well. ”
"What's in this letter?" Ah Hai was curious.
Fang Xuan smiled and said: "In the letter, it is written about this loan, and there is a mark of my god on the letter, and after reading the letter, the spirit will definitely not embarrass you, and at that time...... He will hand over the luck of the Liu family to you...... You can bring it back and ......."
The people in the Daomen are the enforcers between heaven and earth, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods must be given a few thin faces when they meet them.
With the letter written by Fang Xuan himself, and the seal of Shenxiao as evidence, Lingcha is naturally willing to lend his luck to Liu Laosan.
Liu Laosan nodded like pounded garlic and said, "Okay, we are clear." ”
"That's good, you two, sit down cross-legged, I'll cast a spell for you now, and let your souls go out of your body!" Fang Xuan said.
After hearing this, the two didn't dare to be suspicious, and hurriedly followed what Fang Xuan said and sat cross-legged.
I saw Fang Xuan's expression condensed, holding the magic formula with one hand, and there were words in his mouth, and after a while, he stretched out his two hands and pressed down on Liu Laosan and Ah Haitian Linggai.
At this moment, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai only felt a "buzz" in their heads, and suddenly the whole person was in a daze, and in an instant, they passed out.
The night is misty, deep and quiet.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai, they didn't know how long they had been asleep, but when they woke up, they were taken aback.
It was still the familiar village entrance, but Fang Xuan's figure was missing, and in front of the village entrance, a black dirt road appeared, spreading in twists and turns, leading to the ethereal depths of the mist, with no end in sight.
What made the two even more surprised was that not far in front of the two of them, there was a geist, the geist stared dullly, looked indifferent, stood in the air, up and down, exuding a cold and cold aura.
The two looked at each other, their hearts trembled, they supported each other, stood up, and did not forget to carry the basket on the ground in their hands.
"Lao Liu, this thing...... Is it a geist? Ah Hai's lips trembled a little, and he only felt some inexplicable panic in his heart.
Don't say it's him, even Lao Liu is weak in his heart.
After all, these two people are the first time they have seen such strange things, and if they are not afraid, it is definitely fake.
However, fortunately, Fang Xuan had said before that this geist was leading them to the Lingcha Mansion, so naturally it would not harm them.
Thinking of this, the two of them were a little relieved.
As soon as the two of them came to their senses, they saw the wandering spirit in front of them, which began to move, like a piece of clothing floating in the air, slowly moving towards the black dirt road in front of the entrance of the village.
"Keep up...... Hurry up and keep up,......" Liu Laosan was startled and hurriedly said.
The two didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed behind the wandering spirit and stepped on the black dirt road.
At the entrance of the previous village, there was no such black dirt road.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai estimated that they had entered another identical world, most likely, it was the world of wandering spirits, so the village was still the familiar Dongzhuang Village, but everything outside the village was completely different.
The black dirt road is quiet and deep, with twists and turns.
On both sides of the road, there are dense bushes, growing high, as if the black dirt road is completely enveloped, and it also completely obscures the view.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai, walking on the road, at the beginning, there was still some uneasiness and panic in their hearts, but after walking for about a while, they settled down a little, and they were no longer afraid of the wandering spirits in front of them.
"Lao Liu, you say, we will be fine this time, right?" Ah Hai was stunned in his heart and asked tremblingly.
Liu Laosan's face was solemn, he thought about it, and said: "Ah Hai, don't worry, you help me so much, this kindness, I remember it in my heart, if something really happens, you don't care about me, you find a way to go first." ”
"Alas...... Lao Liu, what you say, am I the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Ah Hai hurriedly said: "What's more, what's the matter, isn't there still a Taoist to help us?" I didn't expect this long way to be so powerful......"
Speaking of which, the original doubts in Ah Hai's heart were dispelled.
Before, he was still thinking that Fang Xuan was a god of the rivers and lakes, and he was worried that Liu Laosan had been deceived, but now, seeing Fang Xuan's methods, he believed Liu Laosan's previous words.
However, despite this, this black dirt road is a weak walk in the hearts of the two of them.
In a trance, faintly, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai only saw many wandering spirits on the road in front of them.
These spirits, with dull faces and indifferent expressions, floated on both sides of the road, wandering back and forth.
"Lao Liu, look ......"
Ah Hai was startled, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Liu Laosan looked over and was immediately frightened.
This......
The two looked at each other and gasped.
Although the one who led the way was also a wandering spirit, however, after Liu Laosan and Ah Hai got used to it, they were not so afraid, but suddenly, seeing so many wandering spirits on the road ahead, the two of them naturally couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ah Hai said tremblingly: "Lao Liu, now...... Should...... Should...... What to do? ”
Liu Laosan grabbed Ah Hai's wrist and said firmly: "It's okay, don't worry...... If you're afraid, look down and don't look at ......"
"Hmm!" Ah Hai nodded hurriedly.
When they got closer, the two of them trembled even more.
The wandering spirits on this road are unable to enter hell, and they are unwilling, so they stay on this black dirt road, waiting for black and white impermanence.
Many of the wandering spirits here are people who died unjustly, and their own longevity is not over.
Many of the spirits, missing arms and legs, with crooked bodies, looked eerie and terrifying, but they seemed to be unenlightened, just constantly wandering the road without a purpose.
The whole road is getting deeper and deeper, and it seems that it has become extremely cold because of these wandering spirits.
