Chapter 006: Behind the Rites
Zhang Jiuxin was tied to a pillar in the middle of the innermost layer of the dojo.
At that time, it was the time of the peasants and cats, except for those who went out to work for a short time, the rest of the villagers of Miaohe Village gathered here, and surrounded Zhang's house with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water could not be drained.
"The blind mother-in-law is here."
"The blind mother-in-law is here."
Suddenly, gongs and drums sounded, and the crowd made a fuss, and took the initiative to give way to the main road leading to Zhang's yard.
Leading the pack were eight 10 to 12-year-old demon exorcism boys from the village of fallen people, wearing red scarves, soap clothes, and drums in their hands.
12 men, also from the fallen village, with colorful paints painted on their faces, followed the ghost exorcist boy step by step. They are either dressed in bear skins or tiger skins....... They play the role of 12 beasts of prey, holding Ge and shields in their hands, waving and shouting at the same time.
The 12 men passed through the outermost red candles and stood under the twelve evil gods in the middle layer, while the eight exorcist boys sat under the four ink portraits in the east, west, south and north of the innermost layer.
[Please the gods, please the gods, bother you to come here from afar.......]
A shallow chant came from far and near, and the noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.
Zhang Jiuxin saw that the legendary blind mother-in-law was holding a peachwood sword in her hand, with a white ribbon tied to her forehead, and she was chanting words in her mouth, walking around the circle formed by red candles three times, and then came to her side.
[Jade Emperor, all the kings of heaven are invited, great immortals, up]
Suddenly, the blind mother-in-law, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and shouted violently.
Zhang Jiuxin was so frightened that he felt furious in his heart: "This ...... This blind mother-in-law, the whole eyeball is gone, only two empty eye sockets are left, this... It's also scary. ”
Under the blind mother-in-law's order, the demon exorcist boy and the twelve strong men immediately moved.
The sound of drums, shouts, and chants, the dojo suddenly became noisy.
"Should I run away with Brother Bolt?" Zhang Jiuxin, who was already worried in his heart, saw this big battle, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As the beat of the drum became more and more urgent, the blind mother-in-law, who was originally just singing on the spot, began to dance up with a peachwood sword, and the shallow chant turned into a shout:
[The little ghosts go away, and the evil ghosts all retreat]
The twelve strong beasts who jumped with the blind mother-in-law repeated in unison: [The little ghosts go away, and the evil ghosts all retreat]
The neat shouts reached the sky, and the geese in the shape of "human" in the air scattered in all directions.
Zhang Jiuxin felt a cool aura pour into her heart, and the next scene she saw almost made her faint.
"Whew!"
With the sound of thunderous drums, the blind mother-in-law shook her limbs and bit the neck of a live chicken under the table with one mouth, and the big rooster was bitten off before it could struggle.
"Gott~"
Zhang Jiuxin retched for a while, and scolded the blind mother-in-law who was biting the head of the chicken and approaching him: "Go away, go away, go away for me!" ”
"Phew" The blind mother-in-law spit out the chicken head in her mouth, raised her hand, the drums and shouts stopped instantly, and she leaned her face close to Zhang Jiuxin: "Prepare to seal!" ”
Zhang Jiuxin suddenly felt a smell of blood rushing to her nose, but the blind mother-in-law changed from chanting to saying quickly:
"Suicide ghosts, long-tongued ghosts, all of them retreat, if you don't get out of the way, let the gods cramp and pull out their bones and go to hell."
After finishing speaking, the blind mother-in-law's peachwood sword stabbed directly at Zhang Jiuxin's heart.
Zhang Jiuxin shouted angrily: "Blind mother-in-law, are you going to kill someone?" Don't think I don't know what tricks you're playing, eleven years ago, my dragon and phoenix fetal sister was killed by you! You ......"
"Miscellaneous ghosts, stand down" The blind mother-in-law's scream overpowered Zhang Jiuxin's angry scream, and the peachwood sword in her hand was a little stronger than the one at the beginning.
"Ah~" The sharp pain in his heart made Zhang Jiuxin almost faint: "Blind mother-in-law, you deceive the world into ghosts and gods by digging yourself up for your own purposes, aren't you afraid, those dead souls you have killed over the years will ask for your life when you dream back at midnight?!" ”
"Poof"
The blind mother-in-law sprayed a mouthful of blood on Zhang Jiuxin's face.
Suddenly the crowd boiled:
"This ...... Did this blind mother-in-law vomit blood? ”
"Oh my God, this ghost is too powerful."
"I see, not necessarily, it may be that what Xiao Jiu said has come true, and the retribution of this blind mother-in-law has come."
“......”
In the dojo, the blind mother-in-law covered her chest and said in a hoarse voice: "It's me who underestimated the strength of your wild ghost. ”
The blind mother-in-law turned her head to the exorcist boy beside her. The boy immediately took out a bundle of peach branches wrapped with white iris from under the drum and offered them.
The blind mother-in-law raised her voice and said: "Among the relatives of Xiao Jiu, there can be those who are born in the same phase as the time and the snake. ”
Leaning on the fence wall and watching the lively second room Du Shi, he raised his hand hesitantly and said, "Blind mother-in-law, I ...... I am, I am the serpent. ”
The blind mother-in-law handed the peach wood strip to Du Shi, and explained a few words in a low voice, and then with a wave of her hand, the sound of drums, chanting, and shouts sounded again.
"Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry, the second aunt is also trying to help you beat the ghost out, you bear with it~" Du Shi excitedly held a peach wood strip and approached Zhang Jiuxin step by step.
Zhang Jiuxin's face changed: "Second aunt, I advise you to think twice, don't forget ......."
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Bang Bang!"
The peach wood strip whipped on Zhang Jiuxin's body vigorously and quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the cotton robe on his body was pulled out one by one, and the blood dyed the white cotton wool dark red little by little.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Jiuxin saw that the blind mother-in-law took out a small porcelain jar from a cloth bag, and the lid of the porcelain jar had not yet been opened, and everyone present had already smelled a foul smell.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience:
"I've heard that ghosts are the most afraid of smells, and the things in the blind mother-in-law's jar are obviously better than garlic to ward off evil spirits."
"What is garlic, I heard that the stinky thing in this small porcelain jar of the blind mother-in-law was first dried with the carrion of ninety-ninety-eighty-one poisonous insects, and then mixed with ninety-ninety-eighty-one rotten plant roots. This thing is not comparable to garlic, this is a demon exorcism! ”
"Wow, that's so powerful, then it looks like this ghost is dead!"
“......”
Zhang Jiuxin heard the words coming from the field, and his face instantly turned white.
I saw the blind mother-in-law in the field slowly stretching her old hand into the small porcelain jar.
Under everyone's intently watchful eyes, she gently grabbed a handful of stinky things from inside, revealing an extremely cold light on her face, and then suddenly waved her big hand, sprinkling the stinky thing on Zhang Jiuxin's body like snowflakes!
"Ah~ old pious woman!"
Zhang Jiuxin was pained, scared and angry, and roared: "Qian family, Du family, do you want to kill me today in the name of exorcism?" ”
"Let me tell you, even if I die and the big house has no heirs, you don't want to get a penny of my grandmother's dowry, and her old man is still practicing in Songmu Nunnery!"
