Chapter 11: The Thunderbolt Blade
After Aiguo swallowed the last bite of the flatbread, he saw that Master Mao didn't do anything, so he asked a question that he had always wanted to ask: "Master Mao, it's a sunny day now, and there are white clouds in the sky, why was there a black cloud covering the sun just now, and then I heard the sound of thunder."
Master Mao said, "That black cloud is the Shurakshasa in the cave, using mana to control the resentment of the evil ghost to block the sun, I have been using the power of the thunder to split the black cloud, fortunately split, twelve is fine"
Aiguo then asked, "Why do those Shurakshasas have mana, and these evil rakshasas seem to have no mana?" ”
"That Shura is originally an immortal body, and after falling into a Shurakshasa, the mana will not be lost, and it will be stronger. People and animals are mortals, and they can also have mana through cultivation, and animals that cultivate into immortals also have high mana, like fox immortals, yellow immortals can use spells. And that evil ghost is not a soul, a ghost can reach the level of a ghost immortal through cultivation. As long as this kind of soul is not attached to the body, it has a certain amount of mana, but if there is a physical body, just like the soul is reincarnated as a human being, it becomes a mortal, and the mortal body is a mortal fetus without mana. This kind of evil ghost doesn't have much thinking, and is still in ordinary animal behavior, so it is even more difficult for them to cultivate."
Master Mao continued, "Buddhism has six reincarnations, and I think this kind of evil ghost should be the hungry ghost in the six realms of Buddhism." This kind of hungry ghost is born of a ghost mother, and a litter can give birth to hundreds. If you really want to eradicate this nest of hungry ghosts, you have to eradicate the ghost mother."
Aiguo and Master Mao sighed in their hearts at the same time, lamenting the insignificance of human beings, but the thoughts behind the two people are different, Aiguo is an ordinary person who is worried about the future, but Master Mao only wants to get rid of the demons and protect the common people.
Aiguo changed the question, he was very interested in the black long knife, "Master Mao, this knife was danced with a faint thunder when I danced just now, this knife is also called thunderbolt, but what is the origin?" ”
Seeing that Aiguo asked about this knife, Master Mao slowly said, "This thunderbolt knife was given to me by the gods." More than ten years ago, when I was in my twenties, the Japanese devils had not yet surrendered, and there was a great drought in Henan. There was no harvest, millions of people starved to death, poisoned, and hanged countless people, and a few groups simply engaged in tomb robbery, digging up the contents of the ancient tombs and selling them to foreigners and Japanese. in exchange for a little food. There is a group of people who dug an ancient cave more than 2,000 years ago in the mountains of Anyang, and there is a corpse king in the ancient cave who has been in the ancient cave for nearly 2,000 years. A jewel that absorbs the yin energy of the corpse king, and the jewel absorbs the yang energy between heaven and earth at the same time to achieve the balance of yin and yang to control the corpse king, and the corpse king will not be too heavy in yin qi and cause harm to the township. It's just that why this senior master didn't directly get rid of this corpse king, but I don't know. ”
"This group of tomb robbers opened the cave, and when they took the orb, the orb rolled to the ground, causing the corpse king to come back to life, and since then the cave has been reversed by yin and yang, and it has been reversed all year round, and the cold wind blows in the summer and the ice and snow in the cave are covered, and the warm wind blows in winter, and the snow melts and opens."
Is there really such a strange place in the world? Although Aiguo went to school in the provincial capital, he had never heard of such a thing.
Master Mao went on to say, "The Corpse King killed all the tomb robbers, and then went out of the hole to plague the local people. My master and I were sending rice in Luoyang, and by the time we heard that we had arrived in Anyang, the corpse king had killed all the living creatures in that village. Master and I fought the Corpse King. Master died a tragic death to save me, but I fell into another ancient cave in the mountain. At that time, I fell unconscious, and in the confusion, there was a golden light in front of me, and in that golden light there was an old man with a white beard who kept pointing at the top of his head, and when the golden light disappeared, I woke up. I lit the futon, there was a rotten futon in the cave, I lit the futon, there was nothing in the hole, I remember the old man pointing upwards when I was confused, I looked up, and the knife was stuck in the gap in the roof of the cave. I took off the black knife at that time, and I obviously felt a strong mana coming from me. When he got out of the cave, the wall of the cave collapsed behind him, burying the ancient cave. I also relied on this black knife and the heavenly net to destroy the corpse king, and avenged the master and the dead villagers. ”
"I've been carrying this knife with me ever since, and there will be bursts of thunder when someone with mana wields it, so I named it Thunderbolt. I hope this knife can help me slay the evil demons and protect the common people. ”
Speaking of this, Master Mao sighed and said regretfully, "I didn't expect to be broken most of my mana here." ”
The wind blew Master Mao's beard and some hair, but it couldn't change his sharp and firm eyes, and the patriot, who had read and understood science since he was a child, suddenly admired Master Mao even deeper.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Master Mao said to everyone, "Tonight must be very hard, we don't have much to use, the Soul Breaking Dao has been open for six days, and it will be closed tomorrow morning, and these evil rakshasas will go back, if we can't destroy them tonight, we will try to delay it until tomorrow morning."
Everyone nodded together.
"Aiguo, Guan Long, Erhu, Zhao Mu, I will set up a simple seven-star array in front, and you will stick your paper figures on the wooden platform with bamboo poles and let them stand up. These demons can see our spirits and our yang energy. The evil rakshasa rushed out, and you put on the old king's hidden soul talisman to hide your soul, and they couldn't see you. They will treat the paper figures as you, and you will be safe for the time being. ”
"By the way, plug in the twelve, and insert it between the altar and the seven-star array."
At that moment, Master Mao put the yellow satchel on his body, ripped off the huge gossip hanging behind the altar, spread it on the wooden platform in front of the altar, took out a bamboo tube from the big cloth bag, opened the lid and shook out some white-gray powder from the bamboo tube on the gossip map, shaking as he walked. The powder enclosed a circle on the gossip map, and Master Mao used the white powder to draw a talisman next to the circle, and drew a total of seven talismans around the circle. Then a huge spell was drawn on the ground outside the circle near the entrance of the cave.
Master Mao placed seven oil lamps in the center of the circle according to the position of the Big Dipper in the sky. He took seven more small flags of different colors and inserted them in the cracks in the wood next to the seven charms. Seven different small things were placed next to each small flag, some were a chess piece, some were a brush, some were a string of Buddhist beads on their hands, some were a jade cup, a wooden fish, a seal, and a stone. Master Mao said that these things were often used by the seven great monks in the past, and in order to prevent the evil spirits of this cave from coming out, his master asked the seven great monks for it. Now these treasures have finally come in handy. Master Mao bowed to these seven ordinary things. The Seven Stars Array is arranged.
Everyone sat and waited when they were ready. The moment of decisive battle is coming.
Five people sat on the wooden platform and watched the sun slowly set. Until the sun disappeared, the black hole did not move.
It was getting dark, and Guan Long was about to light the torches.
At this time, a cold wind blew, and the twelve moved to wake up, and the patriotic they hurriedly surrounded him. It's good that people wake up, and now it's really relieved.
Twelve looked at everyone surrounding him, and asked in a daze, "Are you dead too?"
Guan Hu was also happy to see that Twelve was awake, and deliberately slowed down the speed with a calm face, and said faintly, "Yes, I will be in the Yama Hall soon" The Twelve, who was still a little confused, was completely awake when Guan Hu was frightened. "I miss my mom"
Aiguo immediately coaxed Twelve, "Don't listen to Erhu's nonsense, he deliberately scares you" said Aiguo glared at Guan Hu.
Guan Hu stuck out his tongue and said to Twelve, "I'm not dead, can I still move?"
Twelve moved, and a pang of pain came.
Master Mao said to Twelve, "Don't move, lie down and heal your injuries"
Twelve himself felt powerless, so he lay down, patriotically took off his coat and put it on Twelve.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the mountains are getting colder and colder. Guan Long lit the torch next to the wooden platform and said a few words to Guan Hu. So he told everyone that I would go and get some firewood so that I could make a fire. He turned around and jumped off the wooden platform and walked to the side. Guan Hu took some branches and bamboo chips to plug the gap on the main wooden platform, then filled some soil with a wooden basin and poured it on the wooden platform, and went to pick up some large stones to surround the mound. Guan Long also came back with a large pile of firewood, put it next to him and started to make a fire.
Aiguo and Zhao Banxian carried Twelve to the fire to roast the fire, and everyone gathered around the fire to keep warm. There was still no movement on the other side of the black hole. A water-proof bell was hung at the entrance of the cave.
Everyone was fine together, Guan Long was cutting bamboo there, and bending bamboo chips on the fire to roast. Guan Hu made bamboo arrows one by one. Hunters have to learn archery and practice their eyes before they learn to shoot. Guan Long and Guan Hu are all archers in the village.
Aiguo saw that Guan Long and Guan Hu were going to make bows and arrows, so he took out a knife to help sharpen the arrows, and the handle of the knife reflected the rolling fire in the firelight, seeing that the knife was very exquisitely made, and it was not like the ordinary knife used in the mountain village.
Zhao Banxian asked Aiguo for a look, and Aiguo handed it to Zhao Banxian.
This knife is very easy to hold in your hand. The handle is made of copper, and the exterior is silver-plated, unlike the wooden handle used in ordinary mountain villages. It doesn't take long for the copper to rust and lose its luster, and the silver-plated handle retains its luster for a long time. I don't know what material the tip of the knife is made of, it is smooth and rust-free, it is really a good knife.
After Zhao Banxian finished reading and handed the knife to Aiguo, he asked Aiguo, "How did you get this knife?"
Aiguo told Zhao Banxian while sharpening the arrow, "This was given by a classmate when I was studying in the provincial capital." ”
Twelve baked his body and shouted that he was hungry, so Zhao Banxian went to get a flatbread for Twelve.
Aiguo was very curious about the water bell, so he asked, "Master Mao, why does this water bell ring by itself when there are evil things approaching?" ”
"The bell imprisoned the imp in it, and made a pact with it that if an evil thing came near, let it shake the bell, so that the spell would be lifted, and the imp could go. Because there are many things that we can't see, or feel. But they can know, so for the sake of safety, we will catch some mischievous imps and imprison them in the bell, one is for my use, and the other is to dispel his anger, so that he will not go out to harm people in the future."
The night was as dark as ink, and the water-sheltering bell hanging at the entrance of the cave had not moved.
Master Mao simply sat cross-legged on the box and meditated with his eyes closed.
The remaining five people were chatting together.
Guan Hu told Twelve what happened after Twelve fainted, and Twelve looked at Aiguo gratefully, thinking that my life was saved by Brother Aiguo, and I must repay it in the future.
Aiguo smiled at Twelve, "Don't take it to heart, if it's me, you will rush over to save me"
After saying that, Aiguo wiped the knife on his clothes, cut the flatbread into small pieces and fed it to Twelve.
The firewood burned crackling, and the light of the fire flashed on Master Mao's face.
Master Mao opened his eyes and said, "In these two battles, the Shurakshasa has not come out, but we don't have many methods to use, if the situation is urgent, you must escape."
Aiguo listened and was about to tell Master Mao again that he opened the door and that he would not leave. Zhao Banxian said to Master Mao, "I still have five thunder palms useless," and shook his left palm as he spoke.
Master Mao said, "We can also use the Five Thunder Palms, what do they use to love the country." As he spoke, he looked at Aiguo and thought about it, "Use the five thunders." Saying that, Master Mao went to the altar and picked up the red pen and walked over, grabbed his patriotic left hand and began to draw on the patriotic palm. Master Mao drew a spell in the palm of his patriotic palm, and in the middle of the spell was a thunder character with a sharp brush. After finishing the painting, he drew it on Guan Long's palm, and said while drawing, "Our five thunder palms can only be used by people with mana, and these five thunder palms all rely on the mana of the person who drew the talisman, and rely on his usual practice." It is drawn in the palm of an ordinary person's hand and can only be used once. Borrow the mana of the five thunder gods, so you can use it until the last resort and when the danger is extreme. ”
Saying that, he drew it on Guan Hu's palm, and continued to say, "When you use it, hold the ring finger with the thumb of your right hand, don't go out of your breath, close your mouth and nose, pause your right foot, and push out your left hand" After speaking, he came to paint the twelve, and Master Mao said to the twelve, "You can't pause when you lie down, just lift your left foot, and the thunder energy of the five directions will not leak out, you can use it, remember to close your mouth and nose, and you can't leak this true breath out"
Twelve looked at Master Mao suspiciously, paused and asked, "What about the fart?"
This sentence made Guan Hu and Guan Long next to him laugh out loud.
Master Mao frowned, glanced at Twelve sternly, and said, "No."
Twelve nodded, and said again, "Then I'll hold my fart and let it go when I hit it."
Patriotic couldn't help it at this time, and lay down on the wooden platform and rolled.
Master Mao couldn't help but laugh and glanced at this stupid twelve. Walked back to the box and sat down cross-legged and shook his head with a smile.
was idle, and he didn't want to let his nerves be too tense when he was patriotic, so he asked Zhao Banxian what the four paper figures lying on the wooden platform were doing. Zhao Banxian explained to the four people that Master Mao just pasted a soul borrowing charm on the heads of the four chickens, borrowing the souls of the four chickens and attaching them to the four paper figures, this method is generally used to control the dead corpses, and the souls of ordinary domestic animals are not conscious when attached to the paper figures or dead people. In ancient times, the mountain roads were difficult, and it was this method that the corpse chasers used to bring the corpses of dead strangers back to their hometowns.
Aiguo listened attentively, and suddenly saw Master Mao open his eyes and yell at Aiguo, be careful, he is fake. Aiguo was a little dazed, and looked towards the entrance of the cave, but saw another Zhao Banxian running over from the wooden platform, waving his hand. How could there be two Zhao Banxian, when he turned his head to look at the Zhao Banxian next to him, he saw that this Zhao Banxian's face suddenly cracked, falling down piece by piece, this scene is too familiar, this scene used to make the four of them frightened six days ago, and now it has happened again.
After the layers of shells fell off, inside was a guy with sharp ears and fangs and three eyes.
Shurakshasa.
