I went in with them, and stood by the door and listened to them.

The master said to the master: "At noon, we burned the paper, and we couldn't see anything from the ashes, and the bleeding mountain wall couldn't be pasted with the soul talisman alive." ”

The master asked, "What do you say about those boxes?" ”

Master Bo took a sip of water, and then said: "Someone recognized the box and said that the flowers on it were Japanese cherry blossoms. The old man in Qingtan Town said that in the past, during the Anti-Japanese War, there were Japanese invaders who swept and were ambushed on the mountain, and several people died. But the old man also heard about it, after all, it is very old. But I don't understand why those Japanese criminals, who are dead, are just ghosts, and they can't be seen or measured. ”

At this time, one of the Taoist priests in the city next to him said: "I guess those devils may also think that it is not good to bury them here, and they probably use some evil arts." ”

Someone next to him said, "I also watched what I talked about on TV, what kind of Dongying evil arts." ”

The master said, "It's better to find out what happened before, otherwise it's really hard to deal with." ”

Master Bo said: "I have asked one of my apprentices to call the county to help check the county records and see what happened before. ”

The master turned his head and asked the senior brother, "How are the arrows doing?" ”

The senior brother answered: "I found some peach branches, but they are all used to burn wood, and there is no way to make arrows." ”

The master said, "There is no need to make the whole arrow and sharpen the branches of the peach tree, you go and cut some small bamboo, make the body of the arrow, and insert the peach arrow into the bamboo hole, and the tip is pointed outside, and it becomes an arrow." The senior brother agreed, and went out to do it, and the master asked me to follow me to help.

Soon, while we were cutting the branches of the peach tree, a senior brother ran in, and the senior brother said to me, "I guess I found it, let's go in and listen." So we followed.

The senior brother reported to the masters the history found in the county annals:

In 1942, there was a Japanese army that passed from our side and was preparing to participate in the Battle of Changsha, when most of the people in Qingtan Town hid in the mountains with food. One of the Japanese squads was sent to the mountains to search for food, and they didn't want to be ambushed by the people on the mountains, and a few died, and the situation in the mountains and forests was complicated, and the Japanese invaders did not dare to enter.

Later, the Japanese did a crazy thing.

The Japanese invaders buried the ashes of the fallen soldiers in the mountains. At the same time, all the people who stayed in Qingtan Town, men, women and children, were caught at the foot of the mountain, bled from their necks, and then sprinkled the blood on the ground where the ashes were buried.

After that, the bloody corpses were gathered together, pulled away and thrown into Qingtan.

When the people on the mountain saw this scene, there was a cry, and the Japanese invaders fired their guns there.

Since then, none of the 189 people left in Qingtan Town have been spared, and dozens of people have been shot and killed indiscriminately on the mountain. The county chronicle called the incident the "Qingtan tragedy".

And the flowers on this ashes are estimated to have been soaked with blood and turned into blood-colored cherry blossoms.

After the senior brother finished reporting, the people in the Taoist temple house fell silent, not wanting that after so many years had passed at this time, the ghost of the Japanese Gang was still lingering and continuing to bring disaster to the world.

An elderly Taoist priest in the city sitting next to him broke the silence and said: "Presumably, it must be demonic magic for the Japanese to bleed the living and sprinkle them on the place where the bones are buried, so we can neither see nor detect, I wonder what the two Taoist masters can do to deal with it?" ”

The master thought for a while, looked at the master and said: "I think it is best to attract the souls of the people who were killed before, it is estimated that they are all resentful, so that they can deal with these devils and take revenge." ”

The master shook his head and said: "It's not good, one doesn't know that so many years have passed, although those who died tragically have grievances, but it is estimated that most of them have been reincarnated, and second, they were originally killed by the Japanese invaders, and it is estimated that they are still afraid of these Japanese criminals. ”

Master Bo asked, "What does Senior Brother mean that these Japanese ghosts must be eliminated by us in order to comfort those who died tragically?" ”

The master nodded, and the master sighed: "Although I think so, I can't see it now when I wipe the willow leaves, and I can't find it when I ask for divination, so I really don't know how to start." And I don't know what kind of evil magic was used at that time, and I don't know how to overcome it. ”

The master said: "You can only take one step, look at one step, this is our place, I don't believe that we can't break this evil art." Then he asked the Taoist priests in the city: "I don't know what you Taoist friends think?" ”

The old foreign Taoist priest thought for a while and said: "Our sect pays more attention to the art of Qimen Dunjia and self-cultivation, and this ghost subduing technique is still better at your faction, so this time I want our two factions to merge, mainly because we want to communicate with each other and learn from each other's strengths." ”

The Taoist priest next to him hurriedly added: "But if there is a need, useful place, we will do our best." And in the afternoon, we have already reported this matter to our Guan Master, he has sent someone to drive over overnight, we are not very good at subduing ghosts, but our Taoist temple has merged with other Taoist sects in the past, and some of them are good at it. ”

When the master heard this, he hurriedly said, "This is very good, but it is troublesome." ”

The elder Taoist priest hurriedly said, "This is as it should be, we are all cultivators, and we will eventually become a lineage in the future." ”

I see that although the old Taoist priest said this, he finally showed a little unhappiness, and he probably didn't know about sending people at all.

The master looked at everyone and concluded: "Now we can only follow the will of the junior brother first, let's first use the soul-attracting lamp to lure those ghosts out, and then use the peach wood arrow, assisted by the talisman seal, to shoot the soul." If not, presumably the Taoist friends who came over for reinforcements will arrive in the middle of the night, and then there will be many of us, all of whom are cultivators, and we can't destroy these devils if we don't believe in it. ”

After that, the master asked people to continue the preparations and wait until the evening to go to the mountain.

It was chosen at night, mainly because those Japanese criminals were ghosts after all, afraid of the sun, and no matter how they were drawn in the morning, they would not come out.

I also saw this Zhao Jie in the crowd of Taoist temples, but he always dodged when he saw me, and I guess he felt sorry for me in his heart. In fact, I heard my mother mention it during the Chinese New Year, saying that Zhao Jie has now changed to work in the town, mainly because if he continues to be a tea seller, he will have to run around, and Aunt Zhao is a little nervous, he doesn't want anything to happen to his youngest daughter. At that time, many young people chose to work in other places, and there was a lack of talents in the town, so Zhao Jie, who had gone to high school, successfully entered the town government and got a job. And he has made a lot of money selling tea over the years.

While I helped the senior brother continue to do things, I couldn't help but inquire about the Taoist priest in the city.

The senior brother said that there were four Taoist priests in the city this time, the older one was surnamed Zhang, the younger one was surnamed Liu, and two younger Taoist priests followed, so it was not clear what the surname was. They came from the Zongqing Temple in the provincial capital, which was quite large and very famous in the local area, but the main cultivation was Neijia Kung Fu and Qimen Dunjia. Now the Taoist priests in the city, unlike our rural areas, in fact, there are still many superstitious people in the city, and they are willing to spend money, so they choose to let us merge the only remaining Louguan sect into it, mainly because of our talisman seals and ghost subjugation techniques. Fu Seal is the housekeeping skill of the Louguan School, and the art of subduing ghosts is mainly passed on from the ancestors.

I was curious about Master Zu, and I couldn't help but ask, "Where did Master Zu learn the art of subduing ghosts?" ”

Senior Brother looked at me and asked, "Didn't your master tell you about Master Zu?" ”

I shook my head and said: "Although I said some, the master mainly emphasized that the ancestor asked our descendants to read the Tao Te Ching often, and the main purpose of cultivation is to cultivate the mind. ”

The senior brother smiled and whispered to me: "Master Zu not only cultivates the Tao of our Louguan School, but also learns from other factions, and it is said that Master Zu also raised ghosts. ”

I was stunned when I heard this, although Master Zu may practice forbidden arts in my image, but I don't dare to think about such a thing as raising ghosts.

I then asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

The senior brother said mysteriously: "I mentioned it to the master when he was about to die, and I overheard it. ”

I also want to continue to ask, the master and uncle, they went out from the house, and said that everyone should move quickly, pack up the things, and we are ready to go up the mountain.
