Chapter 42: The Five Mirrors
At this time, the group of ghosts approached us step by step, and they stretched out their big hands and pounced fiercely.
Seeing that they were already less than two meters away from Master Wu Nian, I shouted, "Master be careful! β
At this moment, for some reason, the group of ghosts suddenly stopped moving, as if there was a huge force behind them.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the faces of the several costumes who rushed to the front were distorted and deformed, and then they were thrown into the air by a mysterious force.
Almost instantly, the hundred or so ghosts that rushed up all stopped, and one by one, they were sucked into the air with a turquoise light.
I seem to hear the moaning of the ghosts.
Soon, the costumes in the bamboo forest were all sucked into the air, converging into a purple smoke.
The tornado-like smoke stirred in the air for a while, and there were bursts of black gas, which made me a little frightened to watch. However, the next scene was even more terrifying.
The black smoke became more and more solid, and there were distorted human faces flashing inside, making a "whoosh" scream. My scalp went numb, and my feet took two steps back uncontrollably.
Then the black smoke and countless grimaces rolled and writhed in the air, and the screams almost pierced my eardrums.
At this moment, Master Wunian pulled out the money sword, and there were words in his mouth. Fingertips sliced across the blade, then raised the sword and swung it in the air.
I saw that the black cloud also rotated, and it turned faster and faster. The master pointed to the west with his sword and shouted, "Soul Attracting Heavenly Array, Qi!" β
The black cloud swirled and flew towards the west, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from sight.
After a few moments, the surroundings were calm.
Master Wunian held on to a bamboo tree and sat down slowly, his face not very good-looking. He wiped the sweat from his head.
It seemed that the master of this battle had put a lot of effort into it, so I hurriedly walked over and took out a bottle of water and handed it to him.
"Master, are you alright?"
Master Wunian took a sip of water, waved his hand and said, "It's out of the way." β
"Master, those ghosts have been swept away?" I asked.
"Yes! The soul-attracting formation I set up collected them all. β
I felt a little uncomfortable, and whispered, "Actually, they are all poor ghosts. β
The master looked at me, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I sent them to the underworld to reincarnate and return to the right path." β
Hearing this, I exhaled softly.
"By the way, master, did that Fang Zude also sweep away? There were too many just now, and I didn't see it clearly. β
Master Wunian shook his head and said, "No. The Soul Attraction Formation is useful for ordinary imps, but evil ghosts are not afraid. He must be around here now. But if I take all his ghosts, his mana will weaken. β
"What is a ghost?" I asked.
"It's a ghost who helps ghosts do bad things. Those singing ghosts were controlled by the surname Fang. usually sings to him, and can help him harm people if necessary. β
I nodded.
At this time, I feel a little unsure, although there is only one Fang Zude left, but I have seen his power. Master Wunian also consumed a lot of physical strength to set up a formation to collect ghosts just now, and if he fought with Fang Zude again, he didn't know how many chances he could have.
"Master, why don't I help you go back to rest, and we'll come back at noon tomorrow?"
The master waved his hand and said, "Then what's the matter, now we are robbing those thirty or so lives with the surnamed Fang." I'm fine, don't worry! β
As he spoke, he took out a small mirror from the jacket beside him, stretched out his hand and handed it to me, saying, "Look at this." β
I took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.
This small mirror is larger than the palm of my hand, perfectly rounded, and very delicate. The front is golden and shiny, light and smooth. Turn it over and the back is engraved with a pattern.
These patterns are more interesting, not the traditional carved dragons and phoenixes or carved flowers and plants, but carved five bare buttocks with pigtails on their heads and wearing belly pockets. Each little doll is lifelike.
I took it in my hand and stroked it gently, saying, "This mirror is so beautiful." What is it for? β
The master took the mirror and said, "This is the Dading Five Mirrors." An artifact to ward off evil spirits. β
"Huh? This is the legendary Dading Five Mirrors? "I was surprised.
I remember seeing this artifact in a book before. It is said that during the reign of Jin Dading, Emperor Jin Shizong personally drew the imperial system. Mana.
Legend has it that Jin Shizong was seriously ill at that time, and someone offered five Miao ginseng. Later, at night, Sejong dreamed of five little dolls, claiming to be the little prince of ginseng, and begged Sejong to let them go.
Sejong was benevolent, so he released the five seedlings of ginseng back to the mountains and forests.
In order to repay the kindness, the ginseng princes left the red ginseng seeds on the top of their heads. After Sejong took it, he was cured.
He was grateful for the kindness of the ginseng doll, so he personally made this five-child mirror.
At that time, I thought this was a legend, but I didn't expect to see the deity today.
With this artifact, my confidence instantly skyrocketed.
At this time, the sun rises overhead, and it is noon.
Master Wunian stood up on the ground and looked around, but there was no ghost in sight.
"Master, what if he doesn't come out?"
"This is easy to do, and the ghost is the most taboo for others to call him by name. Let's call him today! β
As he spoke, Master Wunian shouted at the top of his voice again: "Fang Zude, you old ghost, come out quickly!" β
I shouted along.
Don't say it, it really works. After a moment's work, I saw a cloud of black gas floating not far ahead. And the one standing in the black qi was Fang Zude.
At this time, Fang Zude's face was gloomy and terrifying, and there seemed to be a low roar in his throat.
In the next second, I saw him stretch out a pair of black ghost claws and pounce on us like a gust of wind.
The sun overhead was big, glowing with a blazing golden light. This old ghost can be so rampant under the scorching sun, which shows the depth of the Tao.
Master Wu Nian unhurriedly raised the five-child mirror and raised his hand in the direction of the sun, allowing the sunlight to shine directly on the mirror.
That's when I saw a scene that made my jaw dropβ
Under the sunlight, the five little dolls on the mirror surface actually came to life, laughing and twisting their bodies. A ray of sunlight reflected from each of their navels, shot into the air, and converged into a dazzling golden light at one point.
It's been a long time! If you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it!
"Heaven and earth, the five sons of Changbai are coming, and they are as urgent as the law!" Master Wunian muttered, tilting the mirror slightly downward, and the golden light hit Fang Zude directly.
I saw that the light suddenly dispersed the black qi around Fang Zude, penetrated the black qi, and hit Fang Zude's heart directly.
