Chapter 15: Soul Hook
When my grandfather told me about Taoism, he mentioned the matter of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and most of the so-called lonely ghosts died because of suicide, unjust death, loneliness, and could not enter the six realms of reincarnation, wandering at the junction of yin and yang and nowhere to return.
Qi is full of body, just as some people who hit ghosts see ghosts without chins, because this kind of soul does not disperse but the breath leaks out of the body, the shape is incomplete.
And most of the people who are in the form do not disperse and nourish their qi with yin, and their ability to harm the living is even more powerful.
The yin qi of the old locust tree is heavy, and it is the most suitable for ghosts to live, so it should be the truth of yin and qi, and it turns out that what grandpa said is true.
"Is it Chen Tian?" The lonely ghosts in the trees shouted my name.
I'm kind of surprised how these things know my name.
Zhang Yao stretched out his hand and dragged me, and said to me in a heavy tone, "Don't answer, if you promise them, it will be equivalent to giving them your body, and they will come to rob your body, and it will become a resurrection of the corpse." ”
Seeing that I didn't react, those lonely ghosts simply jumped down from the trees and walked towards us.
Only then did I see their appearance clearly, they looked no different from living people, they were all dressed in the clothes of villagers, some old and some of them were young, and some of them were slightly familiar, and they had seen them a few times.
"Are you Chen Tian?" They're still asking me.
Because Zhang Yao told me that these things wanted to borrow corpses to resurrect their souls, I naturally didn't dare to answer.
Zhang Yao was also very scared, after all, there were more than a dozen people who came to these things, but she stood in front of me, pretending to be powerful and reprimanding them, "Get out of here!" Otherwise, my father and mother will let your soul fly away! ”
Zhang Yao's words didn't work, but instead angered them, and they immediately bared their teeth and pounced on us.
I thought we must be dead, where did I think that my grandfather suddenly rushed out of the house, picked up the ghost stick in his hand, grabbed the two people closest to me, and knocked down with the stick, I heard them whining, as if it hurt heartbreakingly, Zhang Yao was beaten by this stick, and when she saw my grandfather holding the stick, she was so frightened that she quickly hid in the house, for fear that my grandfather would hit her.
Grandpa stepped forward and smashed these lonely ghosts one by one, but after a while, these lonely ghosts fell to the ground and wailed.
Seeing that these lonely souls and wild ghosts had no strength to resist, they stopped, and rebuked them in a cold tone, "People are humane, ghosts have ghosts, what are you doing when you are dead, what are you doing when you are still pestering the living, today I will leave you a breath, it is to remember the hometown, and next time I will come to blame Lao Tzu for being welcome!" ”
Those lonely souls and wild ghosts stood up trembling to each other, preparing to evacuate here, and grandpa spoke again, "Lao Tzu doesn't open a hotel, you can come when you want, you can leave if you want, who asked you to harm Chen Tian?" ”
They looked at each other, but they didn't dare to answer, as if it would be worse than being beaten to death by my grandfather.
Grandpa turned his face into a tiger, looked at them fiercely, raised the stick in his hand, and said in a low voice, "My ghost torturer stick doesn't have eyes, if it hits the body and kills the soul, it's no wonder that I." ”
"It's the people up there." Among them, the worst one who was beaten by his grandfather couldn't help but speak.
When the words fell, these lonely ghosts sighed, and their faces were very nervous, as if it was a terrible thing.
Their faces were full of fear, and I was very surprised in my heart, and when I told the truth, was it more terrible than being beaten to death by my grandfather?
Grandpa frowned, probably knowing it, so he didn't embarrass them, and opened his lips and said, "Get out." ”
When these lonely ghosts heard this, the birds and beasts scattered, and the smoke disappeared.
Grandpa looked back at me, looked me up and down a few times, and then couldn't help but ask, "Can you see these things now?" ”
I nodded kindly, I can really see it, I couldn't even see Zhang Yao before, but it was my grandfather who put a ring on her hand, so I could see it clearly.
Grandpa frowned, lowered his head and pondered, and said to himself, "The blind man eats the child and the blasphemous ghost have all been realized, and now there is only one left, it seems that he can't hide it." ”
Grandpa looked back at me and scolded me fiercely, "You dog thing on your back, don't you think you've lived too long, don't you take off the things in your hands and burn them!" ”
I was stunned, and looked down at the red rope on my wrist, which had turned black, and the skin was still burning and aching.
The man said that if it was someone who was dying, the rope would turn black.
I was so frightened that I cried out, "I don't want to die, grandpa, I don't want to die." ”
"Cry a hammer, take it off quickly!" Grandpa yelled at me again.
I didn't know what was happening, but my grandfather shouted that I had lost it, and that I would definitely not wear it again, so he quickly took it off and threw it on the ground, and in a fit of rage, I stepped on it several times in a row.
Grandpa told me that this thing is called the soul hook lock, which is a soul hook lock made of the iron chain in the hand of the yin soul hook to melt into molten iron and soak in the rope, and then made of the soul hook lock, this practice originated from black witchcraft, and later after the rise of Taoism, this kind of black witchcraft was banned and never appeared again.
The soul hook itself is for the dead, and after the dead wear it, they will follow the soul messenger of the Yin Division to leave the yang world, lock the yang energy of the dead, and it is not easy to borrow the corpse to return the soul on the way, but if it is used on the living person, it will extinguish the three fires on the person, and over time, the living person will be no different from the dead.
Grandpa said that the robe he originally gave me to wear, the yin and yang worlds should be feared, the lonely souls and wild ghosts are afraid of the Taoist, and the Taoist priests are afraid of the heavenly master, the reason why those lonely souls and wild ghosts dared to harm me just now is because my three fires have been extinguished, people die like lamps extinguished, and when the fire is extinguished, it is dead, and the dead have no effect when they wear the Tianxian cave clothes, and this robe can only be worn by the living.
That's why those lonely ghosts dare to pounce and want my life.
When I heard this, I was even more shocked that the man in the toad shoes had really come to harm me.
I looked at my grandfather curiously, "Grandpa, why don't you ask me, who gave me the rope?" ”
Grandpa said to me with great contempt, "You stupid donkey ball, if you knew who gave it to you, you would still wear it?" ”
Also.
I had a lot of questions in my heart, and I continued to ask my grandfather, "Who is trying to harm me?" ”
Grandpa closed his lips and didn't say anything, just glanced at me and glanced at the house, just now because he was afraid, Zhang Yao ran back to the house to hide.
Grandpa refers to Zhang Yao?
But she doesn't seem to be going to harm me, and besides, this is my grandfather's daughter-in-law for me, and my grandfather asked me to marry someone who harmed me.
My heart was full of unhappiness, "She wants to hurt me, and you still let me get married?" ”
Grandpa saw that I was in a little mood again, and smiled again to ease the atmosphere, "Where did I say her, I said her father's family." ”
"Huh?" I was shocked, "Those lonely souls and wild ghosts just now looked very scared, her father and mother are just dead people, where is this ability?" ”
Grandpa didn't explain too much to me, but lost a sentence, "You are still too young, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight." ”
I had left the rope on the ground, but my grandfather picked it up and carefully hid it in his pocket.
Grandpa took me back to the house, Zhang Yao shrank in the corner of the wall and shivered to watch my grandfather's appearance, because grandpa was holding a ghost torturer stick in his hand, and it looked like he was coming in to clean her up, and before grandpa could speak, Zhang Yao's tears fell down again, crying very distressing
Grandpa knew that the stick in his hand scared her, so he quickly put it away and put it back in the drawer, and said to Zhang Yao with a smile, "Girl, don't cry, since you are married to Chen Tian, you are a member of my Chen family, that is, my granddaughter-in-law, and you will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Zhang Yao looked at her grandfather in a daze, a little scared, and didn't dare to speak more.
Grandpa looked back at me, "Stinky boy, what are you doing in a daze, you don't give your daughter-in-law a basin of hot water to wash her face, she cries like a little cat." ”
I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment, and went to get the washwater in a daze, and just put the washbasin in front of Zhang Yao, my grandfather reached out and knocked it down on my head hard, and reprimanded, "You are a leprosy treasure, grab it and jump!" Calling you to fetch water, she is a daughter-in-law, you don't know how to wipe her face! ”
The leprosy treasure is the dialect of our side, which means toad, grab it and jump it, that is, it will move once when you touch it, describing the problem of people doing things.
I had no choice but to twist the washcloth clean and wipe Zhang Yao's face.
At this time, grandpa said to Zhang Yao, "Girl, you know the reason for those lonely souls and wild ghosts who came outside just now, right?" ”
Zhang Yao was stunned, and replied with a nervous face, "It was my father who asked them to clean up Chen Tian." ”
I couldn't get angry when I heard this, "The man who gave me the rope and wore a green robe was also invited by your father?" ”
Zhang Yao shook his head, "I don't know about that, but he's not my father's person." ”
Grandpa said firmly, "That person is indeed not your father's person, your father doesn't have the ability to command him, I don't think he really wants to harm Chen Tian, I'm afraid he has another purpose." ”
Naturally, I don't understand what grandpa means, what is the other purpose?
I just feel that since the old blind man broke through these messy things of Grandpa's Club, he feels that there are more and more troubles.
"What about Grandpa?" I asked.
"Do you think they've succeeded?" Grandpa asked me disappreciatively.
I thought about it, I'm still alive and well, although I almost died, but now I'm alive, that is, it didn't work, I quickly shook my head.
"That's it, since it didn't work out, they will definitely find a way, and sooner or later they will come to the door, we will wait here." There was no emotion on my grandfather's face, and after he finished speaking, he got up and walked out of my room.
There were only two people left in the room, Zhang Yao and me.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, I hurriedly got into the quilt and continued to sleep, and I didn't care about Zhang Yao, she just sat at the table all the time, estimating that she would not be sleepy if she was a dead person.
Early the next morning, my grandfather asked Zhang Yao to stay in the house and not go out, and my grandfather took me out to buy some yellow table paper and came back.
I followed my grandfather, and during the day, everyone in the village was working in the fields, and when they saw me and my grandfather going out, they would say hello when they looked up to show politeness.
After walking about 300 meters, there were many people gathered in front of the old blind man's house, as if it was very lively.
My grandfather and I looked at each other, before the people in the village didn't say that the old blind man packed up his things and left, he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, why suddenly everyone gathered here in front of the door.
Li Fufu, who helped our family pick up bones before, saw me and my grandfather passing by, and hurriedly ran towards us, and said excitedly, "You don't know yet, do you?" The old blind man is terrible, this time he came back with a Taoist priest, and in the future, our village can be peaceful, everyone rushed to let the Taoist priest help go to the house to see feng shui, read the eight characters, fortune telling, and make a lot of noise, I am also ready to ask the Taoist priest to help see the marriage. ”
When Grandpa heard this, his face was not right at that time, and he replied politely, "I'm not interested." ”
In our village, the Taoist priest is the existence of a living immortal, and the Duangong Divine Woman, who originally knew Feng Shui, had a very high status, let alone a priest like a priest, but Grandpa didn't think so and looked down on him at all.
Even from the eyes of the grandfather, I can't see the curiosity and joy of the Taoist priest at all, there are many strange things in the countryside, some things would rather be believed, not credible, I am very curious about the Taoist priest, grandpa's behavior is really abnormal, even if he is not interested in weekdays, there are a few words of damage, but this time he didn't even say a word, quiet and surprising.
