Chapter Twenty-Six: Fighting Under the Locust Tree
After listening to the words of the two of them, I vaguely felt that things had become complicated, it should have happened ten years ago, there was also a "paper man killing" incident, and Mrs. Mingyue killed the murderer behind the scenes, so now, ten years later, when they see the red paper man again, the two of them are also a little puzzled.
According to the bureau's regulations, those who handle cases outside must report to the bureau once every two days, but the evil thing is that their mobile phones are all charged, but there is no signal at all.
Several of us took turns telling the police about the recent events in the village, and coupled with the current strange situation, Team Zhang had to be suspicious.
After the paper figure appeared, Mrs. Mingyue and Lao Huang were also quite surprised, and the two of them communicated with Uncle Wang and Team Zhang, preparing to set up a bureau at night to catch the person who manipulated the paper figure.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lao Huang and Mrs. Mingyue both changed into Taoist robes, and the two of them made two small straw figures out of thatch, pasted talismans, and recited a few more Taoist mantras, and the grass figures actually moved, and the police on the side were shocked to retreat again and again.
"It's done!" After that, Lao Huang took the straw man and led us to the ancestral hall.
He first snuggled the straw man under the big locust tree, and then asked Uncle Wang to prepare chicken blood and sprinkle it around the locust tree. After dark, two yellow incense sticks are also lit in front of the locust tree.
Lao Huang pointed to the big locust tree: "That's it, if there are paper figures tonight, no matter who their target is, they will come here." ”
That night, more than 20 of us gathered at the village branch for dinner, knowing that we were catching ghosts tonight, many neighbors brought dishes that they were reluctant to eat at home, and some people brought a few bottles of home-brewed wine.
Although Lao Huang and Mrs. Mingyue are Taoist families, they are not taboo, and they are drinking wine and munching on meat.
Because of my grandmother's relationship, they are especially good to me.
"Little evil! Have you read those two books? Lao Huang asked me with a smile while chewing the meat in his mouth.
"I've read a few pages, and I don't seem to understand it!" I replied truthfully.
"You still want to understand it all at once? Lao Huang, I'm almost eighty years old this year, and I've been watching it for fifty years - even now, I don't dare to say that I fully understand it, in fact, among the three of our senior sisters and brothers, you still count your grandmother's high understanding! ”
"My grandma? She...... Why did she have to pay with her life ten years ago? I remembered the contents of the letter and asked suspiciously.
"Well! It doesn't hurt to tell you now. Ten years ago, several evil people also came to this village, and the two sides began to fight, but I didn't expect that these people were all ruthless characters, proficient in several kinds of witchcraft, and even one of them could do Gu magic...... There's no way, your grandma is 'out of body' and they have a fish to ......."
As he spoke, he leaned over to me and pointed at Master Mingyue: "Senior Sister has also suffered a great injury because of this, and she has no choice but to use this secret technique...... You think she's willing to be like this! ”
After eating, Uncle Wang had another argument with Captain Zhang.
"Old Village Chief Wang, what you said is too evil! Even if I go back and report, the director won't believe it. ”
"If you don't believe me, there's no way, the matter of Gufun Village is not as simple as you think!"
"If someone really kills people with witchcraft, it must be the ...... of your village."
After Captain Zhang said this, Lao Wang was speechless all of a sudden, he tilted his head and seemed to think of something, and after thinking for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and asked Lao Huang: "You still have to be ten years ago, where did those Yin and Evil Daoists hide?" ”
Lao Huang recalled: "It seems to be in the house of a family surnamed Han!" ”
"It's Han Laosan! How did I forget about this - I suspect that Han Laosan did all this! ”
Master Mingyue nodded slightly: "If it's him, I'll know tonight!" ”
At nine o'clock in the evening, we hid around the ancestral hall again.
It was summer, and although the night was cooler, it was really uncomfortable to squat for a long time, and just as my legs began to go numb, I suddenly saw two red figures flashing in the distance.
"Here we go!"
Lao Huang on the side reminded in a low voice.
In the misty moonlight, the two red figures gradually approached, and it was incredible that they did not walk, but put their legs together, jumping forward one by one, not fast, but in very consistent steps.
Red people? I wondered. These two people look about 1.7 meters tall, and their body shape is about the same as ordinary people, and they didn't dare to think that this is a red paper figure at first.
When I saw two expressionless and terrifying paper faces, it was as if I had been electrified,! What is this! It turned out to be an enlarged red paper figure.
The red paper figure slowly jumped towards the big locust tree.
I heard the heavy gasps of a few policemen behind me, I guess I live so much, even if they have seen the bloody scene, they have never seen this scene in front of them!
Just when they were less than twenty meters away from the big locust tree, Lao Huang and Mingyue Shitai whispered a mantra almost at the same time.
Less than ten seconds later, the straw man leaning on the locust tree "lived" again, and instantly became larger, almost as big as a paper man.
I covered my mouth so that I didn't exclaim, but some of the others didn't hold back and let out "ah" one after another.
The two kept chanting the incantation, and the straw man and the paper figure slowly got together.
I thought that both sides belonged to "abnormal human beings", and they had to have a hug or something, but when they met, the four "people" actually scuffled, and the movements were very funny and weird.
Everyone was stunned! No one expected to see such a strange scene......
I remember that in the "Yin and Yang" book given by my grandmother, there was a description of "Dao Mantra Drives Grass Man, True Qi in the Heart", this kind of grass man can be manipulated by spells to do many things.
The straw man and the paper man scuffled for two or three minutes, and Lao Huang's forehead was already full of sweat, and his whole body kept shaking, as if it was very difficult.
I'm in a hurry! It doesn't help much.
Suddenly, the red paper figure let out a few screams, then turned and jumped back.
Seeing this, Master Mingyue gestured with both hands a few times, shouted "chase", and the two straw men also jumped and chased after him.
I don't fucking know how to describe how I felt, it was kind of like a shadow puppet show I watched when I was a kid. After the straw man chased the paper man out fifty meters, I whispered to Mrs. Mingyue: "Let's catch up too?" ”
"Not for now, let the straw man follow you first."
She walked up to Uncle Wang again, "Xiao Wang, except for Xiao Xie, let them all go back!" I'll leave the rest to our apprentices! ”
Master and apprentice? I heard a burst of joy in my heart, and that's right! My grandmother is their younger sister and sister, and I am also their apprentice grandson.
Captain Zhang wanted to insist on participating, but when he saw that two of his frightened subordinates were still diapering, he had to sigh and follow Gao Guofeng and them out of the ancestral hall.
Seeing that Uncle Wang didn't leave, Master Mingyue smiled faintly: "Xiao Wang! We are also old acquaintances, and this operation is very dangerous, and my brother and I have been preparing for this for several days - even then, there is no certainty of victory, are you sure you want to follow? ”
Uncle Wang suddenly became very respectful: "I am the head of a village, even if it is dangerous, I should go!"
