Example 32: First encounter with plantain essence (I)
(Thanks to Shunyun Daoyou for providing the case)
It was the first half year of my initiation, and at that time, I basically didn't go out with Master to do things, I was all studying, writing, practicing talismans, and reciting mantras at Master's house, so my life at that time was very hard. Every day, I had to get up early, light incense to worship my ancestors, ask for theology, and I had to go to bed late at night, and sometimes I had to help the masters and uncles work.
That day, I was still the same as usual, I got up very early, went downstairs to wash up, and then went upstairs to do some things as usual, until the dinner time that afternoon, the teacher called: "Shunyun, eat." ”
I heard Shi Niang's voice and answered: "Here ......." ”
When I came downstairs, I served a meal and ate with my wife. But after eating for a long time, I didn't wait for the master to come over, so I asked, "Master, did the master go out to do something today?" ”
Shi Niang said: "Yes, today is not our own business, we are going to Ling Feng to help your uncle." I nodded, finished my meal quickly, and went back upstairs to study.
The day was still the same as usual: eating, reading, reciting mantras, practicing calligraphy, and sleeping.
The next morning, the phone rang early, pick up the phone and take a look, huh? It's Brother Afa's phone. hurriedly picked it up: "Senior brother, why did you call me so early, is there something wrong?" ”
The senior brother smiled and said: "Shunyun, you bring this talisman book out, your second senior brother and I are at your uncle's house, let's go to a palace in the water mill today to practice spells, there are magic weapons in it, we can learn it casually." ”
I thought to myself: Wow, great good thing, great opportunity, definitely not to be missed! So he responded excitedly: "Senior brother, you wait for me, I'll come right away." He hung up the phone, hurriedly ran to the master's altar, took a spell book and ran out.
When I came to my uncle's house, I shouted excitedly: "Senior brother, I'm here, hehe." Then he smiled innocently.
When the senior brother saw me coming, he and my second brother suddenly laughed evilly.
I looked at them strangely and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
At this time, my uncle came out and asked suspiciously: "Shunyun, why did you come to my house so early?" Do you know that today I am going to wash my clothes in the water mill, and you want to be together? ”
When I heard this, I stood stupidly like an awl for a few seconds, and finally realized that these two brothers were joining forces to frame me and trick me into volunteering together. Although I was helpless, there was indeed the palace that my two senior brothers said in the water mill, and there was also a tomb of a Taoist priest who was specially buried in our industry, so I answered the voice of the uncle: "Yes, I want to go together." ”
Then I turned my head and asked my two senior brothers with distrust, "Do you have the spell book with you?" ”
The two senior brothers still responded with an expression that wanted to laugh: "Bring it." ”
In order to be more sure that they did bring it, I deliberately asked loudly in front of my uncle, "Then what spell book did you bring?" ”
The elder brother said, "I have a nurse curse." The second senior brother said, "I'm carrying a trick." Then they asked me, "What about you?" "I said, I brought the Six Gods Mantra and the Guanyin Mantra, the Third Prince Mantra, and some ordinary mantras."
After listening to our discussion, Uncle Shi also thought we were quite cute, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, if you don't leave, it will be noon." I looked at my watch, and I really couldn't test my brother anymore, although they were still smiling badly, I was helpless, but I couldn't delay any longer, so everyone drove to the water mill.
The water mill is the hometown of my uncle and master, but now there is no one living in it at all, it is very desolate, but it is a holy place for reading, and no one is arguing.
At the beginning, we came to a small river and helped the master wash his clothes and divine cloth.
After washing, we helped to put these things on the big stones to dry, and then the master said, "Don't run around, I will go to the mountains to see if there is any firewood, if there is, I will get two back, and you can set sail when you do things in the future." We all nodded.
Then Uncle Shi went up the mountain, and then I said, "Senior brother, can we go to the palace to practice magic weapons after we finish drying here?" "Because I had only been in the Dao for half a year at that time, I was very interested in magic weapons, so I asked excitedly. But the hateful elder brother said, "You two go, I'm going to the tomb of the Heavenly Master to worship." ”
I thought to myself: I haven't been to the Celestial Master's Tomb either, so why don't we go and see it together? hurriedly said: "Senior brother, let's go with you, and wait for you to accompany us to the palace." ”
The elder brother said, "Well, that's fine." ”
So I happily followed the two senior brothers to the tomb of the Heavenly Master, which was not far from the small river where we had just washed our robes, and we would arrive in a short time.
When everyone came to this tomb, at first, the senior brother walked over there and knelt down, and then said some Taoist language, what is the Taishang League Weijinlu...... Something or something, a whole bunch of good things were said. My second senior brother also went to bow down, and when I arrived, it was obvious that my two feet did not obey me.
I forcibly walked to the tomb and knelt down, and suddenly at this time, my two fingers were swinging up and down, and the senior brother saw it and asked, "Shunyun, what's wrong with you, is your finger cramping?" I didn't answer much, I knew that this was the ancestor in it, and he wanted to teach me something.
So I silently recited the "Jade Emperor Mantra" in my heart and pressed my head to the ground, and after a while, the strength in my body was gone, and after feeling fine, I bowed, said a few words of thanks, and got up.
I said to my brother, "What's the matter?" Can you accompany us to the palace to practice magic weapons now? ”
Since the senior brother was very hateful, he said: "Actually, I came in today to give people a wish, you two go, I'll wait and go over." When I heard that, I was completely speechless.
I couldn't help it, so I said, "Second Senior Brother, let's go together." "At that time, the second senior brother had not yet left the school, just like me, but he had been here for two years, so he knew more than me.
The second senior brother nodded and said okay, so the second senior brother and I came to this palace together, and when we walked in, a yin qi came to our faces, which made people very uncomfortable. I think it may be that the people here have moved away and no one comes often, which causes the gods not to return to the palace, so the yin qi is too heavy......
I didn't feel anything.
The second senior brother said to me at this time: "Shunyun, you see there is a banana tree outside, why is it so big?" When I had heard this, I looked at the tree, pouted, and said, "What's so strange about that, isn't it just a plantain tree that is a little bigger than the usual tree, ignore it, and learn the mantra." ”
I took out the book and recited the incantation very seriously, while the second senior brother tapped the magic weapon on the side. When we practiced inside for about an hour or two, suddenly an old man came from outside, and the old man was also carrying a child, I thought this was a normal thing, so I said hello: "Hello grandpa!" ”
I suddenly felt: Huh? Why is the second senior brother so rude, he doesn't say hello when he sees the old man. Just when I wanted to complain to him, I turned my head to look at him, but saw a look of panic and anxiety on his face. The expression on his face made me shudder, and I guessed that these two people were definitely not right.
When the old man heard my greeting, he nodded to me, but the child looked at us with no kindness, and I noticed that the child had a lot of banana-like things hanging from his waist.
They didn't stay long, and after a while they left, and I watched them walk towards the pile of plantain trees, which were not far from us, but because they were so big, they blocked the place behind them.
When I saw them disappear from sight, I remembered the look on my senior brother just now. I hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
The senior brother came back to his senses and said intermittently: "Shunyun, we have a big incident, and those two are not people just now." ”
Hearing this, I was so frightened that I almost fell to the ground again, and asked cowardly, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" They're not human? What's that? ”
In order not to make me panic again, the senior brother didn't say anything, but only told a few words: "Keep studying, it's okay, it's all gone anyway." ”
I also answered the call and continued to study the spell in the palace, until that afternoon, my brother and I came to the small river just now, and sat there chattering, and it was still calm. After a while, the senior brother also came, and the other side of the uncle also came down, but there was an extra person next to him, a person about the same age as my uncle, who came down from the mountain with a joke and a dead dog in his hand.
At this time, everyone came to the small river, and I saw that the dead dog had just been killed. I asked the man, "Uncle, this dog is dead, what are you still carrying it for?" The old man said, "Of course I took it and ate it." ”
When I heard this, I immediately became angry, and I didn't pay attention to him, we chatted for a while, and the man suddenly said: You guys talk first, I'm going to go to the plantain tree, rip the dog's skin, and wait to go back without such trouble
The more I listened, the more disgusted I became, glared at him, and went to the palace just now, alone, to practice spells. But at this time, the sky suddenly changed obviously, although there was no rain, but there was no sun, plus the yin in it, extremely cold, and then I looked at the old man who killed the dog, and said: "Uncle, don't splash the dog's blood on the banana tree, the banana tree is very spiritual, if the dog's blood flows to the banana tree, let the banana tree be dirty, then the tree is finished." ”
When he heard me say this, he ignored me and said yes, and I didn't say anything more. Seeing that there was something abnormal in the sky, I was afraid that it would rain, so I was ready to go back to find my brothers to go back together. As I was about to leave, there was a very foul smell behind me, and after a while there was a loud sound of the wind blowing through the trees, and I thought there was no wind now, what was wrong. I turned my head to look.
