Master's face is very heavy, I really haven't seen Master like this, Master is usually giggling and joking, but once he encounters serious things, he will never laugh and laugh. Master turned to us and said, "Don't be bold, you've been with me for so long, and the scriptures of the transcendent people will be almost the same, and you are leading two junior disciples to spend time here, and I must go back immediately." ”

I said, "Master, do you have anything to do when you go back?" It's almost dark now, can't you go back tomorrow? ”

Master said, "There is a very important matter that I must go back immediately, and I will have to rush back in a while. ”

I said, "Master, what's so urgent?" ”

Master said, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

Zhang Rentu's son saw that the master was going back, so he asked the carriage to send my master back, the county is more than 20 miles away from our village, it takes a little time, the master leaves, there are three of us left, there is no way, I can only sing the scriptures over the soul, this chanting must be sung out to rhyme, it doesn't matter if others don't understand, so I hit the wooden fish, and sang there: "It is a sigh that the spring scenery is blooming, persuading the monarch to embroider the lotus village, and the glory and wealth are arranged, but the time has passed, and the thousand years will not come back." It is sighing that the summer scene is long and rainy, the lotus pond is fragrant, it is difficult to buy this light with money, and it is hot in the summer, and the boat can be on the blue waves. It is a sigh that the chrysanthemums in the autumn scenery are yellow, the wine is fragrant, the wild geese fly in the air, the fruit is 27,000 years old, and Yan Hui unfortunately died as a young man......"

This chanting is very troublesome, I knocked on the wooden fish, the fool and the thin monkey also played the magic weapon, the three of them guarded in the spirit shed, and there was Zhang Rentu's son and a few of the family guards in the spirit shed, singing this is easy to sleep, I sang and sang, several of the spirit guards were napping there, and the sound of the fool and the thin monkey hitting the magic weapon was getting slower and slower, I simply stopped singing, and took a nap with them.

I don't know when, suddenly there was a gust of wind, this gust of wind was different from other winds, a cold air penetrating the bones, straight up. "Sneeze, sneeze." The fool sneezed twice and said, "Strange, why is this gust of wind so evil?" ”

The thin monkey also woke up at this time, the three of us felt that the wind was evil, so we no longer slept, and quickly knocked on the magic weapon, giving the three of us courage, this beating, not to mention that it really worked, the yin wind stopped, everything became quiet, the dog in the county town barked twice occasionally, there was no other movement, a few people guarding the spirit shed got up and looked at us, and then took a nap there. Master hasn't come back yet, and I don't think Master will be back tonight.

But it doesn't matter if the master doesn't come back, there was a gust of wind just now, and we beat the magic weapon, and it slowly calmed down, these are not just for fun, the magic weapon can drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Just when I thought that things had subsided, suddenly there was a dog barking in the distance, not barking, that sound was more like crying, the so-called dog crying, that is, the sound of the dog seeing something unclean, that sound was poignant and long, very indescribable, like a person crying, and more terrifying than a human cry.

The cry of the dog seemed to come along this street of the dead man's house, first far away, then nearer, and nearer, as if something was approaching and coming to the house of the deceased. At this time, suddenly the dog of the deceased's family cried, the voice was a little vague, it seemed to be far away, but when I heard it, it seemed to be in my ears, I knew that something was going to happen, and quickly took out the three clear bells and the peach wood sword.

As soon as I took these two things in my hand, the wind in the yard, the wind was different from the usual wind, not one, but many whirlwinds, swirling around, the big butter candle in the mourning hall, suddenly the fire head came out more than three feet high, and then the fire head became smaller and smaller, like the size of a bean, emitting a faint green light, illuminating the whole mourning shed miserable green, for a time the whole yard was extremely weird.

I shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." ”

I shouted loudly, Zhang Rentu's son and the other spiritual guards hurriedly got up, looking at all this in front of him, Zhang Rentu's son hurriedly ran over and said, "Dao Chief, what's going on?" ”

I said, "I don't know, all of a sudden that's it." ”

Zhang Rentu's son said: "Dao Chief, you have to think of a way, you must not let the corpse be cheated." ”

Although I was sixteen years old at that time, Zhang Rentu's son, out of politeness, still called me Taoist, I can't embarrass the master today, how can I suppress this field, I was just about to speak, the fool said loudly: "Senior brother, hurry up and open the eyes of heaven to see, there are so many headless ghosts." ”

As soon as I heard it, I quickly recited the incantation, opened the eyes of the sky and saw that I was almost frightened, it turned out that these little whirlwinds around us were all headless ghosts, these ghosts only had one body, and the stubble on the neck was broken, staggering, and walking towards the coffin. The ghosts let out a terrible cry that went straight into their heads. I understood at a glance that these ghosts had come to seek revenge on Zhang Rentu. I don't know why, Zhang Rentu is dead, and these ghosts don't let Zhang Rentu go.

When I saw this, I knew that something big would happen today, so I quickly shook the three clear bells in my hand, and recited the scriptures that the master had taught me, and the fool and the thin monkey were also reciting the scriptures vigorously, and this trick worked, and those headless ghosts just shook their bodies from a distance, not daring to approach us. I looked at those headless ghosts, and was thinking about how to deal with them, when the coffin behind me made a clicking sound, the sound made me feel my scalp tighten, something happened to our back, I quickly looked back, only to see Zhang Rentu didn't know when to sit up from the coffin, only to see his expressionless face, under the light of the faint green candlelight, his face was miserable and green, wearing a shroud, the face was already hideous, and now it was even more hideous, like a ghost.

This is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the black shadow on Zhang Rentu's body, this black shadow is much taller than Zhang Rentu, sitting is more than a zhang high, bare on the neck of the shadow, there is no head on it, if those just now are headless ghosts, this is a headless demon, not good, Zhang Rentu's corpse was possessed, this possession is also called borrowing the body to return the soul, the general dead return to the soul, it is much more powerful than the corpse, not to mention that it is still a headless devil.

Master told me that those ghosts and the like are tangible and intangible things, and they can't hurt people, so don't be afraid of those souls, I thought of this and quickly recited a mantra and closed my heavenly eyes, and the headless ghosts in front of me disappeared, and the headless ghosts around me also disappeared, just the sound of the wind in my ears, and the wind was filled with ghosts crying and wolf howling.

Those who were guarding the spirit were trembling there, hiding beside us, looking at Zhang Rentu in the coffin in horror, a smell of urine was permeating, and I knew that someone was scared to pee their pants. Zhang Rentu's son said to me: "Dao Chief, you have to think of a way, hurry up and find a way, let my father sleep in the coffin." ”

I said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will use the ghost slaying talisman that Master taught me to suppress the possessed headless ghost." ”

As I spoke, I took out a cinnabar pen and yellow paper, spread it on the table, in fact, this ghost slaying charm belongs to the spell of the Zhu Youshu Forbidden Department, and those of Taoism are the same, I tried my best to calm my mind, and then lifted the pen and recited silently: "The light of the sky prolongs the years, all the heart of the spell, I see my heart, the light of the spell, the spiritual light of the sky, the law of fire, the disciple asks the Holy Mother to give the edict." ”

After I finished reading, I took a breath towards the cinnabar pen and wrote a ghost slashing charm, in fact, the ghost slashing charm is a compound word, the upper one is still the word, the lower one is a Tian character, the four ghosts in the word, this metaphor means sleepy ghosts, and the following two ghosts, the master said that this word has the light of the word, and the general ghosts are afraid of this charm.

After I finished writing, I was worried when I pasted the talisman, although this talisman is easy to use, but it has to be pasted on Zhang Rentu's head, but I have no bottom in my heart, I don't know if Zhang Rentu who is sitting in the coffin will suddenly jump up and choke my neck, but I don't go up, let others go up must be even worse, so I was brave and walked towards Zhang Rentu in the coffin with the yellow paper talisman.
