Chapter 2 Coercion
I saw that the man's right arm was thicker than the left arm, and the original color could not be seen on it, the whole thing was dark and green, and it was bruised and swollen, and it no longer looked like an arm at all, but like the body of a big python, the arm was bent and invisible, and the blood vessels on it protruded one by one, like a few big earthworms drilled into the skin of the flesh, which looked particularly amazing.
I've seen this somewhere at the time, and although I wasn't scared, I felt extremely disgusting.
Chen Daochang glanced at me at this time, but didn't speak, he seemed to mean that he asked me to see what was going on with the man's arm again.
I suddenly showed a helpless face, and also glanced at him, the man's arm, where do I know what's going on, but, since I followed him out of the house to help, I will do whatever he tells me to do, who told my grandfather to leave such an ancestral precept back then, I have to learn a little bit in front of this old Taoist priest, so as not to give my grandmother a number after I go back in the future.
I leaned over to the man and stared at his arm, at this time I was just pretending to be blind, looked at it for a while, turned around and shook his head at Chen Daochang, Chen Daochang frowned when he saw me shaking his head, and his face became a little ugly.
At this time, the woman holding the man spoke, "Old Taoist, can you cure my man's arm, you can go and find someone to treat it, and you will find two hairy children after more than half a month, and you don't want to take back the things we have here!" ”
Listening to the woman's words, it was very polite, and it was a little mean, of course I didn't understand what was going on, I turned my head and looked at Chen Daochang again, and saw Chen Daochang's dark and thin old face twitch lightly twice.
Immediately, Chen Daochang put his hands together, held out an orthodox Taoist salute gesture, gave the woman a 60-degree salute, and said to the woman unhurriedly: "Your man's arm, let me go back and think of a way, it will definitely be cured, and I must ask you to help me keep my things." ”
The woman snorted coldly, and after Chen Daochang finished speaking, he ignored her, glanced at me, and then waved his hand slightly, as if to ask us to follow him away, and he turned around and walked out of the door.
I was confused at this time, and glanced at Qiang Shun, who had not squeaked all the time, Qiang Shun was also confused, the two of us looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and followed Chen Daochang's ass out the door.
Behind me, a woman muttered, and although I couldn't make out what she was muttering, I was sure it wasn't a good word.
The three of them came to the street, Chen Daochang did not look back and walked in front of him sonorously and powerfully, I could see from his trend, he was a little angry at this time, I quickly caught up with him, and asked cautiously: "Dao Chief, where are we going now?" ”
Chen Daochang turned his head to look at me, but he didn't speak, I saw that his face was not good, and I didn't dare to ask any more, so I slowed down and followed behind his ass with Qiang Shun.
Soon, we walked out of the town and came to a dirt road in the south of the town, next to the dirt road, there was a dilapidated Taoist temple, and there was a large stone trough incense burner in front of the Taoist temple.
I and Qiang Shun hurriedly followed, walked to the door, I inadvertently looked up at the top of the door, and saw a tattered plaque hanging on it, and I could barely see that there were three big characters on it "Sanqing Palace".
When you walk into the temple, the place is not big, and there are three statues of gods in it, that is, the three Tianzun of Taoism.
The three statues are as dilapidated as this small Taoist temple, but they are very clean, there are no cobwebs or anything, incense cases, incense burners, futons, etc., they are also readily available.
On the ground in the southwest corner, there is also a straw mat, and there is a big burden on the straw mat, which seems to be filled with clothes or something, and it seems that this Taoist temple should be a temporary residence of Chen Daochang here.
Chen Daochang motioned for the two of us to sit down on the straw mat to rest, and he himself put three incense sticks on each of the three statues, and then kowtowed to each other.
When he finished kowtowing, I couldn't help but ask him, "Daoist Chen, what the hell is going on, that woman...... What did the last words of the woman mean, did they take you into custody? ”
Chen Daochang walked over and sat on the straw mat, his legs crossed, as if he wanted to meditate. I glanced at him, with a look of vicissitudes on his face, to be honest, I really couldn't imagine that the old man in front of me, who was almost seventy years old, actually used a firewood knife to cut the neck of a Japanese officer when he was young, and in order to save the villagers of several villages, he led a Japanese devil search team to the mountains alone. Who would have thought that this dark and thin little old man was also full of legends.
After being silent for a while, Chen Daochang sighed softly, turned his head to look at me and Qiang Shun, and spoke, this is the first time I have heard him talk so much.
Chen Daochang said: "More than a month ago, I passed by this Taoist temple, saw that the Taoist temple was dilapidated and no one took care of it, so I stopped to clean the Taoist temple, just when I was about to finish cleaning, the woman came, as soon as she entered the door and burned incense and kowtowed, and finally cried, I out of kindness, I asked her what happened, she told me that his man suddenly went crazy when he was eating at noon, and someone told her that he had hit an evil spirit, and tied it up at home......
When Daochang Chen said this, I interjected, "If you hit the evil spirit, you have to find someone to see it quickly, what's the use of crying in the Taoist temple." ”
Chen Daochang said: "I found someone, but they found a fortune teller, the fortune teller can only tell fortunes, not exorcise evil spirits, the fortune teller told the women, out of the town to the south, see a Taoist temple or temple on the side of the road, go in to burn incense and kowtow, Tude leads the golden fire, and you can meet the person who saved her man." ”
Can she meet the person who saved her man? As soon as I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Daochang, who continued at this time: "I saw that the woman was crying pitifully, so I talked to her for a few words, and finally followed her to their house. ”
As he spoke, Chen Daochang glanced at me, "All of these exorcism techniques I know are from your family, but compared to those in your family, my fur is not counted." ”
I nodded by default, what Chen Daochang said was true, when I was a child, I heard my grandmother tell a story to me, Chen Hui's master Xin Yangzi, at that time, in order to prosper Huanghua Cave, pretended to be a ghost and went down the mountain to deceive the people in our village, and finally gave my grandfather to see through, my grandfather and my grandmother used the method of "mud paper man to guide the way" to find Xinyangzi, Xinyangzi told my grandfather and grandmother a story of his master's "bluestone Taoist" past, my grandfather and grandma listened to it, and was moved by the righteous act of "bluestone Taoist", decided to help Xinyangzi prosper Huanghuadong, and later, he taught Xinyangzi some skills to exorcise evil spirits and exorcisms, and Xinyangzi passed these on to Chen Hui. I won't write more about this, because I have already written it in another post, and many friends who have read my other post have come to me in our hometown, and I have also taken them to Huanghuadong to see it.
Straight to the point. Chen Daochang continued: "After arriving at their house, I showed the man, it was very like he was possessed by a ghost, I used your family magic to exorcise the man, that night, the man's things were driven away, and the person was normal, but the next day, the man's arm could not be raised, and I had not left at that time, and the woman called me over again." ”
"I showed the man again, but I didn't see anything, that night, I did a ritual for the man to ward off misfortune and eliminate calamity, who would have thought that just after the ritual was done, the man's arm was swollen, and on the third day, the man's arm changed color, blue and swollen, and the woman came again, and brought a few people, the words were very ugly, saying that I was an old liar, and in the end, they took something from my baggage, and I had no choice but to go to your house for help......" said, Chen Daochang sighed helplessly.
After all, I was young at the time, and after hearing Chen Daochang's words, I was a little angry, and shouted: "Isn't this revenge!" Then I lowered my tone and asked, "What did they rob you of?" ”
Chen Daochang frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly: "A knife." I was stunned when I heard this.
Chen Daochang continued: "It was the knife left by my ancestor 'Qingshi Daoren', and the master repeatedly asked me before he died, asking me to keep this knife, which has the soul of my grandfather. ”
I blinked my eyes twice, my grandmother had told me these things when I was a child, and I asked, "Is the knife you are talking about the same knife that your grandfather used to save a few children during the famine in the 60s?" ”
Chen Daochang nodded, "Exactly, it was originally a very ordinary knife, but I wrapped the knife with yellow silk, and a few of the women thought there was a treasure in it, so they took it away for me, and then I went to them to ask for it, but I didn't give it, and the woman also bit back, saying that her man's arm was cursed by me, if I don't heal her man's arm, not only will the knife not be given to me, but she will also go to the public security bureau to report the case......"
"Why are the people of their family so unreasonable, and they don't lose anything by hitting the evil spirits."
Qiang Shun, who had not spoken, finally said the first sentence, he was very shy at that time, shy like a little girl, but the dead virtue of covering his mouth when he saw a beautiful girl was already there at this time.
As soon as Qiang Shun opened his mouth to speak, it didn't matter, Chen Daochang suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at him and asked, "Listen to Bai Xian Gu said, you are born with yin and yang eyes, is it true?" ”
Chen Daochang's words, made me very unhappy, isn't this questioning my grandmother, didn't wait for Qiang Shun to answer, I rushed to say: "My grandmother never said nonsense, really, Qiang Shun is born with yin and yang eyes, if you don't believe it, you ask him to open his clothes and see, he has my blood on his chest." ”
Chen Daochang nodded, looked at Qiang Shun, Qiang Shun looked at him timidly, and then, Chen Daochang said to Qiang Shun kindly: "You take your clothes away and let me see." ”
Qiang Shun immediately covered his hands to his chest, and said nervously: "If I pull it away, you can't wipe the blood off me, I can see those things if I wipe them off, it's scary." ”
Chen Daochang nodded again, and Qiang Shun slowly lifted the clothes on his upper body.
On Qiangshun's chest, he wiped a piece of blood the size of an egg, it was my blood, his yin and yang eyes were very strange, as long as he used my blood to wipe his chest, he couldn't see those things, once the blood was wiped off, it was like turning on the switch, and he could see anything dirty.
Chen Daochang looked at it for a while, then turned his head and asked me, "What would happen if you looked at the man's arm with the strong yin and yang eyes?" ”
