Chapter 90: Zodiac Sacrifice
I was shocked: "What is the Zodiac Festival?" ”
"Look here." Ling Zheng walked to the edge of the copper stove, squatted down, took a knife from his pocket, and gently scraped the wax marks on it, which contained the twinked patterns of the twelve zodiac signs.
I asked, "Lingzheng, what is the Zodiac Sacrifice?" ”
"Zodiac sacrifice, take the 12 zodiac signs as the main spirit, and sacrifice the bones and blood of the living, which can greatly increase the humane law in the Xuanmen."
"Do you sacrifice the blood of a living man?"
"Hmm."
"Who is this kind of unreasonable thing?"
Shen Yan suddenly spoke: "Then we are standing here now, isn't it a sacrifice?" ”
I reacted immediately, and my hands shook in fright: "Lingzheng, is Shen Yan right?" We have become sacrifices of the Zodiac Sacrifice? Lingzheng nodded slightly, his expression was indifferent, as if he was not worried at all, but my heart was going up and down, and the feeling of uneasiness became more and more obvious.
My life card is broken, and now I am being treated as a sacrifice, is it possible that I am going to die here?
I squatted on the edge of the copper stove and directly used my fingernails to cut off all the wax marks on it, and saw that there were many dense small characters on it, and the seal body. King Ling's tomb leaned over and muttered, what kind of thing is this, you can't understand it? I was overjoyed and replied, "I'm sorry, uncle, you don't understand, I just know a little bit." "I carefully read the words on the brass stove, and suddenly found that although I could read the words, I did not understand at all what the words together meant.
I looked at Lingzheng embarrassedly, and Lingzheng said lightly: "Read the words on it." ”
"Oh."
I touched the words on it with my hand and said slowly: "Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen Youxuhai, Rat, Cow, Void Rabbit, Dragon Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, Pig, Zodiac Five Elements Sacrifice, Five People on the Same Road." After reading all the words, I turned my head and asked Lingzheng, "Lingzheng, what does this mean?" ”
King Ling touched his chin and smiled evilly: "It's really a zodiac sacrifice." ”
I glanced at him: "It's the Zodiac Sacrifice, didn't our family spirit just say it, I'm asking, how is this Zodiac Sacrifice going to sacrifice the four of us." ”
King Ling's tomb patted my head hard: "Stupid! Of course, it directly trapped us to death with the formation. ”
I looked at Lingzheng unwillingly: "Is King Ling's tomb right?" ”
"Hmm."
Lingzheng nodded and explained: "The East Mao Fu, the West Youji, the South Wu Horse, the North Mouse, and the Meridian Mao You form four defeats, and there is a rush of joy when there is peace." The north-east Yin tiger, the south-southwest Shen monkey, the south-southeast snake, the north-northwest Hai pig, and the Yin Shen Sihai form four lives, fire is born in Yin, water is born in Shen, gold is born in itself, and wood is born in Hai. As he spoke, he pointed to the direction of each zodiac on the copper furnace, "East southeast Chenlong, northwest west dog, northeast north ugly cow, south-southwest is not itchy, Chen Xu ugly has not become four libraries, it is advisable to rush away." ”
I was confused: "You said so much, I didn't understand a word." ”
King Ling looked at me with disdain: "Why are you such a stupid woman? Thanks to you who have been with him for so many years, he is talking about the combination and joy of the zodiac. ”
"You are brothers in the same sect, and you learn similar things, but the old lady is a yin girl, how can you know so much?"
"Didn't you think you were very capable?"
“…… What am I, interlaced like a mountain, and the line is the champion. ”
"Stupid is stupid."
King Ling's tomb clasped his hands on his chest, with a wicked smile on his face.
I was half angry with him, but I didn't dare to have a head-on conflict with him, so I had to grit my teeth and stand aside. Suddenly, I felt a cold gaze, I looked back, Shen Yan was standing there, staring at me deadly, I laughed with him: "Shen Yan, King Ling's tomb told me last time that women are the most beautiful when they laugh, don't you say?" ”
The corners of Shen Yan's mouth turned up, she smirked, and ignored me again.
King Ling's tomb asked Lingzheng: "There is no door in this stone room, do you want to open another way to live?" ”
Lingzheng let out an "um" and rested his hands across his chest.
I hurriedly shook Lingzheng's hand: "No! Lingzheng, you can't just open the way of life, you will be hurt, let's think of another way. ”
King Ling said coldly: "Woman, you are limited to five minutes for the uncle to come up with." ”
"Just think about it!"
I replied to him with some anger, carefully looked at the words on the copper furnace, and then looked at Lingzheng and them, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "Lingzheng, the meaning of the sentence 'Zodiac Five Elements Sacrifice, Five People on the Same Road', does it take five people to complete this Zodiac Sacrifice?" ”
Lingzheng nodded.
I said, "We're only four of us now, so we can't count this sacrifice, right?" ”
King Ling touched his chin: "It's a little interesting, continue." ”
I cleared my throat: "Although I don't know how the zodiac sacrifice is to be held and how to worship, but I have heard my grandmother talk about some of the rules of the sacrifice before, when the sacrifice is insufficient, the sacrifice cannot be completed smoothly, and you see that the arrangement on this incense table is also different from the ordinary sacrifice arrangement." ”
I pointed to a few wooden cups on the incense table and smiled.
"Our ordinary ancestral ancestral hall sacrifices, the order of the tablets is very particular, the innermost is the lamp, then the ancestral tablet, then the candlestick, then the worship lamp, then the sacrifice, the ancestral tablet can not be higher than the statue, and it can not be placed in front of the god furnace, because the yin should be low and should be retreated, if there are two surnames of the tablet, the main surname is placed on the left, the deputy surname is placed on the right, and it must be separated by a red silk thread in the middle of the incense burner, and the god table can not put scissors and medicine bottles and other things, nor can you put a ruler or something else."
King Ling's tomb said: "The incense case here is messy and messy, so it can't be regarded as a sacrifice?" ”
I nodded solemnly, "Yes, so...... The four of us are not sacrifices, and since we are not sacrifices, it is possible to go out. And, you sense, is there a formation here? ”
King Ling closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and replied, "There is no formation. ”
"Since there is no formation and no sacrifice, then we will definitely find a way out."
Shen Yan snorted coldly: "Having said so much, you are pointing out the way out!" ”
I smirked: "I didn't think of a way to live, how could I be embarrassed to call myself a yin girl?" Do you think we're a lady? I walked up to Lingzheng and said, "Lingzheng, since the master here is setting up a zodiac sacrifice, but the zodiac sacrifice has not been completed, then...... Let's hold a zodiac festival, go the opposite way, and plan the plan, so that whether it is life or death, there is a way, it is better than being in a hurry here, right? ”
Lingzheng looked at me appreciatively and smiled.
King Ling's tomb slapped me on the shoulder violently: "Woman, there are two hits." ”
"Of course."
Shen Yan turned her face to the side unconvinced and didn't speak again.
I put my backpack on the ground and took the things I needed for the sacrifice, which I used more often, so I always carried them with me.
White candles, chopsticks, spoons, paper money, towels......
I put the things one by one, Lingzheng stood at the front, I stood to the right of Lingzheng, King Ling's tomb stood on the left of Lingzheng, and Shen Yan stood at the back. Lingzheng lit seven incense sticks, and read in his mouth: "The light of the Buddha is shining, auspicious days and good days, we sacrifice to the zodiac auspicious and prosperous, the wind and rain are smooth, and the children are healthy......" He recited the mantra of the sacrifice, and I lit the paper money in my hand and raised it casually.
I have dealt with Lingzheng many times before, and this tacit understanding is incomparable to others.
After the ritual of the Zodiac Festival was completed, Lingzheng pointed out the four directions, and the four of us stood at the designated place, waiting for the road to appear. Whether this path is life or death, none of us knows.
I waited for more than ten minutes, but there was no response at all.
Am I wrong?
Finished...... Now that I am embarrassed and embarrassed, Shen Yan will definitely take the opportunity to humiliate me again.
I kept my head down, not daring to look at the three of them.
"Without one person, how can the sacrifice be completed?"
Suddenly, Limo's voice came from the left, and I turned my head to see that Limo slowly walked out of the wall on the left.
He is a Yin soldier, and it is not uncommon for his body to pass through walls.
I looked at Limo and said angrily: "You still dare to come back, we haven't settled accounts with you yet!" ”
Li Mo waved his hand: "Don't rush to settle accounts with me, I went out for a walk, and there were formations all around, and I couldn't get out at all, only when this zodiac sacrifice was completed, there was a way to the golden coffin." ”
I pondered for a moment, although it was important to ask for an explanation for Narcissus, it was even more important to find the copper coin.
Shen Yan asked: "Limo, you are not a person, how can you participate in the Zodiac Festival?" ”
That's a problem.
Li Mo snorted: "I can't participate, but this can be ......" He took out the three narcissus magic weapons and put them in the last empty space. Suddenly, I only felt dizzy in my head, as if my heels were stepping on cotton, and the strength of my whole body was drained at this moment.
"Spirit, Spirit, Righteous ......"
I only had time to call out Lingzheng's name, and my eyes went dark and I fainted.
"The first year of junior high school? First? ”
I don't know how long it took, I heard Lingzheng calling me, I opened my eyes and found myself lying in Lingzheng's arms, "Lingzheng, what happened to me just now?" ”
Lingzheng scratched my nose: "The sacrifice is complete, the yin qi is gathering, and your induction is too strong." ”
"So...... Am I being swept away by Yin Qi? ”
I rubbed my temples, stood up, and found that we were still in the original stone room, the tomb of King Ling, Shen Yan, and Limo were gone, and in the northwest corner of the stone room, there was a woman made of white paper, the woman was facing us, and her white face was smeared with two pieces of crimson rouge, and she looked very terrifying.
"Lingzheng, what is that?" I asked Lingzheng.
Ling Zheng replied, "Road." ”
"Road?"
"Ah Tomb has already entered, you fainted, I am worried that if I forcibly carry you out, your soul will remain in the stone room, so wait for you to wake up."
"Hmm."
Everyone in the Xuanmen knows that when a person is unconscious or asleep, the soul and the body are the easiest to separate, especially children, children are tired of playing outside and fall asleep, parents remember to call the child's name, slowly call him home, and slowly go home, so that the soul will follow the body home. If you don't shout, the child's soul will easily be lost, and then it will have a fever or cry for no reason.
I followed Lingzheng and walked to the side of the blank paper woman.
Lingzheng pinched a trick and clicked on the white paper woman's body, and the white paper woman's hand suddenly raised and pointed in one direction, and Lingzheng led me and walked in that direction.
