Chapter 7 Born to Restrain Each Other

The narrator's Wang boldly listened and said: "Oh, you, the old class master, how old is the little Taoist, if there is a mistake, it is not easy to explain it to his parents, if it doesn't work, I will act, I am not afraid." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was lucky to have a bold brother.

The master looked at Wang Daring, then at me, and said, "Song Hao, it's better for you to act." It's too bold and reckless, I'm afraid that the snake demon won't dare to come. ”

I also want to say, the master waved his hand and said, "That's how it was decided." Then he walked up to me, took a pendant from his neck, and told me to hang it, and when I saw it, it was something like a black wrench, but slightly smaller than it. The master whispered to me, "This is something left by the ancestor, and it will keep you safe." Then he told Wang to boldly find some straw, and lightly cover the straw on those thunder-guiding flags to cover it, and then he would introduce the white snake into the light-guiding array under the straw.

The class owner took me to change the costume, I was not tall at that time, the costume was obviously one size bigger on me, the sleeves were too long, and my hands could not be exposed. Walking is also limping, which is quite funny.

The class master began to tell me about the play: one afternoon, Liu Bang was drunk, and when he passed by a mountain, he saw a white snake lying in the middle of the road. As for the scene where Liu Bang dreamed of the White Snake Mother later, there was no need to act.

The master came over and said that the white snake had been tied with paper, and the white snake had a thunderbolt talisman attached to its stomach, and then the master drew the cloud and thunder pattern with a red pen on Liu Bang's sword. After painting and handing it to me, and then took out a willow leaf from the box, pinned it to my collar, and the master said: "I feel that something is wrong around me, so I wipe my eyes with willow leaves, and when I see the snake demon, you run, remember to run while scolding, let it chase you, and lead it to the lightning array, at that time I will do it, when I shout to run, you must run to the Seven Star Array." Remember? ”

I was scared in my heart, my body trembled uncontrollably, and the master held my shoulder and said, "It's okay, facing fear alone is something that children will have to experience when they grow up, don't be afraid." ”

After that, the master looked at the sky, and at this time the clouds were already overpowering, and we were in the mountain nest, and the whole sky was dark, as if it was going to be night. The master went to a dark place not far away, set up an altar, and lit two candles and a handful of incense.

The head of the troupe led me to the stage and signaled to the people around me that they were almost ready to start, and then the people of the troupe began to beat gongs and drums, and with a long shout from the head of the troupe, the show began.

The opening scene is Liu Bang drinking, I sit at the small table, my right hand pretending to raise a wine glass to drink, but my left hand is holding the sword tightly, the corner of my eyes keeps glancing at the surrounding situation, the people in the audience are afraid to hide in the new house of Wang Bing's house, only Wang Daring sits alone on the stool under the stage to watch the play, while applauding, while looking around.

At this time, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and I secretly hoped that the white snake would not come to see this scene, because I was so scared.

After singing this section, the next section is about to sing the White Snake, the troupe removed the table, and then asked me to pretend to be drunk and circle around the stage, I swayed, looked around from time to time, and beat the drum in my heart.

At this time, I suddenly saw a big white snake rushing onto the stage, and I was startled and sat down on the ground.

After a closer look, I found that it was just a white snake with a rope through the stage, and it was pulled by the people behind the stage just now, like a white snake rushing up.

The person next to me shouted to me and continued to act.

I got up, and the class leader sang in semi-Mandarin: "It turned out to be a white long worm, this damn thing, it actually scared Han Gaozu, and Han Gaozu couldn't help but scold." He sang it in semi-Mandarin so that I could hear it clearly, and then motioned for me to scold.

I pretended to get close and take a closer look, but out of the corner of my eye, I glanced around, and scolded: "You little brute, anyone dares to mess with you, look at you white and pure, chubby, I thought you were a dead silkworm, today I will beat your." ”

I kicked the papier-mâché white snake with my foot as I drew my sword and swung it.

The master said that at this time, the snake demon must be lured out, so it must be as ugly as possible.

I scolded and kicked the fake white snake with my foot. But he looked around.

Suddenly, I felt the white snake being pulled from behind again, which scared me, this time it was not as out of shape as just now, I walked to the stage and cut the rope with my sword to prevent the people behind from pulling it again, and scaring me again.

I turned around and saw that the head of the class had hinted at me from time to time to look ahead, and when I saw it, the paper-mâché white snake was spitting out the letter like a broken thread, looking at me.

I was stunned for a moment, I was a little frightened, and suddenly the paper-paste white snake wanted me to swim directly, the mouth was just the height of my little brother, it was really a lewd snake, it seemed that it was ready to bite my little brother, I hurriedly turned around, a sprint jumped directly to the ground, both feet on the ground, suddenly numb, I couldn't care so much, ran in the direction of the thunder array, turned back while running, holding a sword in one hand, and stretched out the cuff with the other hand, to touch the willow leaves on the neckline.

The paper-mâché white snake swam behind, and my hand kept groping around the neckline, but I couldn't find the leaf. I'm afraid that when I jumped down just now, the leaves didn't know where they fell.

I couldn't care so much, so I ran directly to the other side of the river, and a few more terraces went up, and it was a thunderstorm.

Suddenly there was a light in the sky, followed by an explosion, and thunder.

I looked back at the paper-mâché white snake, and I almost chased it to the river, and when I heard the thunder, I seemed to lose my spirit all of a sudden, and suddenly stopped moving.

I didn't use the willow leaf to wipe it, I don't know if the snake demon will be scared away by this thunder.

I stood not far from the river and scolded at the paper-mâché white snake: "You brute, you will be scared away by a thunderbolt, and you dare to come out and harm people." It's useless, you have the ability to chase me, chase me and chop you with a sword. ”

At this time, Wang Daring under the stage picked up my willow leaf on the ground, wiped his eyes, and said to me, "Run, the snake demon is going to swim over." ”

I saw a watermark spreading from the river to the shore in addition to a few wet footprints on the river, and I ran away, scolding as I turned around. As a result, I didn't want to stumble and fall.

I kept waving my sword at the back, when Wang Daring also ran across the river and shouted to me, "Keep running." ”

I hurriedly got up, not wanting to run two steps before I felt something on my feet, and I fell down again, so I rolled down the terraces. At that time, the early rice in the rice field had just been harvested, and the field was still full of rice stubble, and I saw that the rice stubble next to me was bent, and it should be that the snake demon was near, and I cried anxiously for the master to save me. At this time, Brother Daring had already run over, kicked at the rice stubble next to me, pulled me up, and continued to run.

I ran while crying, and Brother Bold looked back and told me that he was still chasing, and then asked me to give him the sword and let me run to lead the thunder array, and he stopped with his sword, ready to cut the snake, and scolded: "I see that you beast dare to scare children." ”

I ran to the lightning array and stopped, and Brother Bold shouted at me: "Run around there, that snake was so frightened that it went up from the side of the hill just now, and it is still going for you." ”

I thought to myself: That snake demon who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard has the ability to chase my bold brother.

I cried and circled around, shouting at Brother Daring, "Where's that thing?" ”

Brother Bold told me to continue running, and while running towards me, at this time there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and at the same time my master's voice came: "Jump the Seven Star Array." "But I can't tell the direction anymore, how do I know where the Seven Star Array is, if the thunder strikes down at this time, I'm afraid I will also follow Jiao.

Seeing that I was not responding, the master was a little dizzy and shouted at me, "Run to me." ”

I listened to the sound and ran over there, ran a few steps, and shouted, "Daoist Chen, that snake demon has come out of the thunder array." I'm going to get it back. ”

The master hurriedly shouted, "Don't chase after you." ”

Brother Daring didn't listen at all, he directly sprinted over, chased him to a puddle in the field, threw himself on the ground, as if he was fighting with something, and shouted: "It's a snake, you have to obey me." ”

I ran to the master's side, Ye Zi wiped his eyes, a smell of noise, spicy eyes, opened his eyes for a while, but saw Brother Bold entangled with the white snake, pinching the head of the snake in his hand, the snake's body was wrapped around Brother Daring's arm to his neck, and he was squeezing his neck hard.

Brother Bold was not afraid at all, but his neck and face turned red with anger, and while scolding, he grabbed the snake's tail with his other hand and bypassed the snake's body from its neck.

After a while, the snake estimated that its strength was exhausted, and it was also coaxed, and it was torn apart by Brother Daring, and then he carried the snake's head and slammed it left and right on the ground, and then Brother Daring asked the master if he was ready, the master nodded, and Brother Daring stood directly in the Seven Star Array and threw the white snake into the lightning array.

The white snake was stunned just now, this just fell to the thunder array, instantly woke up, ready to swim to the side, the straw is soft, not so fast, at this time the master on the altar with his fingers to guide the thunder array, a lightning bolt in the sky, just split the white snake, the straw on it instantly burned.

The people in the house also saw it, and they all ran to the rice field, and they all praised the master and Brother Daring for their strength.

Brother Daring patted the dirt on his hands and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I have been catching snakes for so many years, as long as it is a snake, you have to obey me." The master also smiled and said that it was really worthy of being bold.

After that, the master said that now the snake demon is excepted, and it will be fine in the future, and then the Wang brothers made breakfast and dinner, and told us to leave after eating.

At the dinner table, Brother Bold was bragging about his experience of catching snakes, and after so many years, I still remember what he looked like at that time. I just didn't want to, that time was the last time I saw him before his death, a few years later, my master and I were asked to go to the city to lure the soul home, and the deceased was Brother Daring. And that's all for later.

On the way back, the master told me that everything in this world is mutually reinforcing, and our so-called demon removal is just a thing that uses nature to restrain each other, perhaps Brother Daring is the nemesis of the snake.

Later, I returned the little wrench to the master, and the master said that this is the grandfather's thing, and if you wear it, the grandfather will protect you. I asked Master Zu if he was amazing.

The master said: "Amazing, Master Zu is a person who has opened the eyes of heaven." ”

"What is the Eye of the Heavens?"

"Legend has it that people have a third eye, called the eye of heaven, and the eye of heaven can see ghosts and gods without rubbing willow leaves. When people are very young, their souls are very pure, and at that time the eyes of heaven are still a little open, so it is often said that children are easy to see ghosts, and when people grow up, the eyes of heaven will be blinded by the filth of the world, and the eyes of heaven will be completely closed. ”

"How did the ancestor open the eye of heaven?"

"Then I don't know, in the pile of books in our study, there are many codex records of former Taoist priests, but the ancestor can't find it, and my master, that is, your master, told me that opening the eyes of heaven is not a good thing, because opening the eyes of heaven is also against the laws of heaven, and it also belongs to going against the sky, and there will be a price."

And a few years later, I am now a damned person.

The master always taught me what the Tao is, and the Tao is nature, and I follow the sky.

I thought that this snake demon thing was over, but I didn't want to lead to another strange thing because of this incident.
