Chapter Eighty-Six: A Skeleton
ο»Ώ
A year ago, I was haunted by the yin energy under the evil ghost on Yu Man's body, at that time I couldn't bask in the sun, and when I went home, I directly scared Mu Xue away, and when I went to find Master Wang, I saw a ghost on my grandmother's grave, and the ghost who was attracted by the yin energy on my body turned into the appearance of my grandmother and wanted to pull me over, it was Master Wang who drove the yin soul away with bamboo branches and curses, and helped me relieve the yin energy on my body.
Just because this time, Master Wang provoked this ghost. As he said, he was helpless against the real ghosts. However, Master Wang is not completely incapable of resisting. He went out during the day, and came home before dark, relying on the three talismans at the door to keep the yin spirit from approaching him.
But just two days ago, when Master Wang went to deliver paper to a family in the next village who was doing a white wedding ceremony, there was an accident. What he never expected was that the family would set up the mourning hall in a closed room next to the hall. And the ghost who had been haunting him happened to be hiding in that mourning hall to steal the tribute.
When Master Wang moved the paper piercing person in, he happened to be caught by the ghost, and it did not hesitate to pounce on Master Wang's body, which had accumulated a year's grudge, so that Master Wang was in a coma for two days, and it was not until noon today that the ghost who had finished spilling his grievances left Master Wang's body.
When Master Wang woke up and returned home, the lantern had been extinguished. That evil ghost has also come out, but that evil ghost has been suppressed by the formation for thirty years, and his ability has greatly decreased. But even so, as Tie Dan said, I may not be able to beat him, let alone Master Wang, who just knows a little bit of fur.
Master Wang wanted to stop it, but he was forced out of his soul. Fortunately, I came in time, if this evil ghost ran out with Master Wang's body for more than half an hour, then it would be difficult for this soul to return to the body.
"Master Wang, why don't you find a local master to deal with the ghost on my grandmother's grave before, there seem to be a few masters in the next county." I asked, confused.
Master Wang shook his head and said, "I know so many, but I can't leave, and no one is willing to run errands for me, I don't know their phone numbers, and I'm not afraid of it, I think I'll leave when it understands itself." And it didn't make a difference to my life. β
"Uh..."Master Wang is also really sincere, I was speechless. Although it was just an ordinary wandering spirit, after being affected by the evil ghost on Yu Man's body, the resentment became very heavy, and in such a situation, it was obviously unrealistic to take the initiative to give up this resentment.
"Master Wang, what should we do now, although the evil ghost said that his ability has been greatly reduced, but if he indulges it, he will inevitably cause chaos," I said with a solemn expression. If this evil ghost was harmless, it would definitely not be suppressed by that senior at such a great cost, and now that it has run away, it must be found and scattered.
Master Wang frowned, moved his body and got out of bed, he walked to the position of the wardrobe against the wall, opened the wardrobe door and got inside.
"Dagger Liu, come in." Master Wang's voice came from inside the closet.
There is a dark grid in this wardrobe, no wonder this wall is built according to the mountain, embedded in the hillside, it turns out that there is a hole in it, I thought that the suppression formation was under the foundation, and I didn't see the special oil lamp, now with this dark grid, everything is explained.
I dodged inside, only to find that it was not a small dark compartment, but a stone chamber of nearly ten square meters, the walls of which were painted with a layer of white lime, and eight large soul talismans were painted with cinnabar. Since the walls of the stone chamber are not very flat, it seems to have been repaired many times. The runes are also very tortuous. If you don't look closely, you really can't see it. There was also a lot of dust on the ground, and there were a few oil drums, which should be full of kerosene.
A special kerosene lamp is placed in the middle, the wick of the kerosene lamp is very thick, the mouth of the lamp is like a small basin, and the workmanship is also very rough, but the conditions at that time are very poor, and the roughness is normal.
There was no place to go out of the entire stone chamber except for the entrance and a vent less than ten centimeters in diameter. And that vent is facing the east, so the morning sun can shine in directly.
The most striking thing is that on the wall directly opposite the stone chamber, there is a large wooden board in the middle, and on the wooden board there is a complete skeleton in the shape of a large character
The skeleton was nailed to the plank by nine long wooden nails, two on each of the limbs, the middle one was long and thick, and it went straight through the chest and stuck in the middle of the ribs.
"This ......," I vaguely guessed whose bones it was.
Master Wang snorted, and then kowtowed three heads to the human bone, this move of Master Wang made me more determined to my idea, this skeleton must be Master Wang's master, the old Taoist priest's
"Hmm" Master Wang seemed to know my thoughts, he said: "This skeleton belongs to my master, when I sealed that evil ghost, my master used his own body as an attachment carrier, forcibly led the evil ghost to his own body and sealed it with a magic door, and finally I nailed it to the body one by one with peach wood nailsγγγγγγ β
Hearing this, I didn't dare to think in my heart, let alone a master, even if it was an ordinary person, he might not be able to do it. I can't imagine how much suffering Master Wang endured in the first place. How many hardships he has endured in the past thirty years, every night when he comes to add kerosene, he has to face the horrific body of his master, from intact to rotten and slowly turning into a white skeleton. How did he come over for so many days and nights, I can't even think about it.
I silently walked up to the old man, his selflessness moved me, he gave everything to seal this evil ghost, even the body had to be nailed to the plank for forty years, people die in the ground, this is not the salvation of the soul, but the respect for the body, and this minimum respect can not be obtained.
A pair of bones, a few more and so on.
I kowtowed three times in front of the bones of the old man before I stood up, and Master Wang said to me, "Master once said that if the evil ghost runs away before forty years have passed, he will use the mahogany nail that nails it to nail that evil ghost." The demon was not easily dismantled, but these mahogany nails were a good way to restrain it. β
I nodded, and understood what Master Wang meant, these peach wood nails have been nailed to the evil ghost for so many years, and they have long been filled with the evil aura of restraining that evil ghost, just like my magic weapon, I can use the blessing of the spell over and over again to increase its power, and the peach wood nails can absorb the evil ghost's evil qi to increase their own power.
"Is it time to pull the nail off?" I asked.
Master Wang nodded and said, "Well, Master has been holding on for so many years, it's time to take a break." β
I nodded, and silently walked over to the skeleton, the mahogany nails that weren't driven directly into the planks. The wooden board at the back is specially made, and the landing point of each mahogany nail is in the gap between the two wooden boards, so that the nail is easier to nail and easier to pull out.
"Excuse me, old-timer." Master Wang and I began to slowly remove the bones of the old-timers, and after so many years, the bones were no longer nailed to it, but hung on it.
Master Wang didn't have a white cloth at home, so we found a bed of cotton wool, put the bones of the old-timers on the cotton wool, and then pulled out those peach wood nails one by one, those peach wood nails were soaked by the old-timers with a special potion and then dried, especially hard, it has been thirty years, and there is no defect on the nail body, I know very well in my heart that these peach wood nails are definitely very good magic weapons, and they are no worse than the master and sister's peach wood sword in terms of power against the ghosts, especially the largest one, It's almost as long as my sister's little peachwood sword.
After pulling out the peach wood nails, I asked Master Wang where we should go to find the evil ghost, and Master Wang looked at his old-fashioned watch and said, "If the estimate is correct, it should go to the spiritual field of Lao Xiao's family in the next village tonight." It's only ten o'clock, and we should have been in time. β
The so-called spiritual field is a special custom in our rural area, which was relatively common when I was a child, but now it is becoming less and less. On our side, when someone dies, they have to go to Master Yin and Yang to see the day of burial, which is usually three to seven days after death.
The time of burial is generally from 5 to 7 o'clock in the morning, and on the evening of the burial of the body, they will find a flat ground around their house to burn the spirit house to hold a spiritual gift, and the place where the spiritual gift is held is called the spiritual field.
Lingwu, some friends may not know very well, it is a kind of house model built with bamboo and paper through paste and hemp rope, this model is large and small. The smallest ones are also one meter tall and two meters long, and the larger ones are two meters tall and four meters long or even longer. The reason why they burn the mourning house around their house is to make it convenient for their deceased relatives to have a place to stay when they return home.
Six o'clock... At 10 o'clock in the evening, I made up a crown to support the game. Thank you, sir
