Chapter 82: Abandoned Nunnery (Part II)
From time to time, there were crows and birds chirping in the mountains, and there were some toads croaking, and the distance of several hundred meters was extremely hard. The ground is not only uneven, but also slippery, everyone wears soft-soled sneakers, stepping on the potholes on the soil is naturally easy to slip, Zhang Min and I walk behind, Zhang Min obviously rarely walks such a road, and it takes a long time to take a step. But I'm different, I grew up in the countryside, and when I was a child, the countryside was full of such roads, and the more careful you are, the easier it is to wrestle. I kept reminding her to go boldly, and it was okay. But she still walked tremblingly, and it was easy to fall without paying attention to the soles of her feet, as expected. Zhang Ming's right foot shook and immediately leaned forward as if he had stepped on a banana peel, and he was about to fall into the mud. I quickly reached out and grabbed her backpack and pulled it back hard. She was stabilized by me, but my right foot slipped due to the imbalance of my center of gravity, and the whole person almost sat on the ground.
"Smack", I put my hands behind my back. Kankan stabilized his body to sit on the muddy path. However, this movement still alarmed Brother Mao and Xiaoyu, who were walking in front.
Brother Mao said to be careful, and continued to walk forward. Xiao Yu snorted coldly and said very casually: "Either you are still waiting for us in the car, right?" I smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me." He snorted and walked on. Zhang Min knew that I fell down to pull her, and she felt guilty and said sorry and wanted to come over to help me. I said, "No, little things, be careful when you go." Don't tremble, but don't wrestle. After this incident, she really let go of her courage to walk, and her speed was several times faster than before. So I walked very fast for the rest of the way, and after a while I came to the front of the abandoned nunnery.
The nunnery was made of wood, and the angular roof indicates that the nunnery was not an ordinary nunnery, at least it was built with great care. Even if a lot of places are already dilapidated.
Everyone has used a strong flashlight to sweep the abandoned nunnery standing at the foot of the mountain, it was rainy during that time, the fog was heavier at night, and the location of the nunnery was in an encirclement, so the fog gathered more, and it looked like a strange giant wooden house in the misty forest from a distance, looming and looking particularly dreamy. Of course, this is only in my opinion. Because Zhang Min was a little short of breath when he saw this nunnery, he was obviously starting to be afraid, and his voice trembled a little and said: "This nunnery looks uncomfortable." I still didn't speak, and took a flashlight to shine a light on the surroundings of the temple. Brother Mao also nodded and didn't speak, but Xiao Yu slapped his swollen face to fill the fat man and said: "What kind of ...... is this" The voice obviously lost the confidence that he had spoken before.
Brother Mao did not beckon everyone in, but stopped outside the door for a while. I naturally wouldn't go inside if he didn't say anything, but I kept looking around, trying to see if there was a natural gathering place or a cemetery around here. Helplessly, visibility is very low, and you can't see anything. When I turned around, I found that Brother Mao had already put on a yellow robe on his body, and also brought a heavenly master hat, holding a bag in his left hand and a peachwood sword in his right hand. Even Xiao Yu had an extra peachwood sword in his hand. A righteous and awe-inspiring faction that wants to rush in and kill the Quartet. I didn't understand it, and I wondered if the two of them had discovered that there was a soul in it? It's not right.,This ordinary peachwood sword is useless if you don't go through the method to open the blade in your hand.,If you insist on saying that it's useful, it's just a psychological effect.。
I was still thinking about it, but when I came back to my senses, I found that the three of them were looking at me, and I said a little inexplicably, "Could it be that I was ghosted?" "Brother Mao said that it is not true, but we are going to prepare to go in. Didn't you do anything to prepare?
Zhang Min just looked at me and didn't speak, then looked at Brother Mao again, and then walked to Brother Mao's side. Obviously, she felt that Brother Mao could give him more security, Xiao Yu compared the peachwood sword that was shorter than the peachwood sword in his hand and said, "Don't you even have a peachwood sword?" Do you still say that you learned the Tao? "I didn't explain anything to him. casually grabbed an arm-thick wooden stick beside him and said, "Then I'll use this, let's go, let's go in." Brother Mao sighed, turned around and walked towards the door. Xiao Yu and Zhang Min followed closely behind Brother Mao. I looked at the wooden stick in my hand and shook my head helplessly. I grabbed a handful of cinnabar from the cloth bag and smeared it on the head of the stick. He took out another ghost-beating talisman and wrapped it around the position of his hand, then took out a short ink fountain wire, wrapped the periphery of the charm three times, and tied a spirit knot. Then he grabbed the wooden stick firmly in his hand and strode into the nunnery.
The gate of the nunnery is one of those very tall gates, but it is broken. Even the door frame is nowhere to be seen, and there is a threshold of more than 30 centimeters at the foot of the door. Stepping into the doorway is a large lobby, which must have been used for people to kneel down and worship the people in the Kean Hall in the past. There is a tall wooden platform on the inside, and there is an empty place on it, which is supposed to be the place where the Bodhisattva and the like were placed in the past. Strips of red and yellow rags hung from the roof. Because of the age, it has been seriously discolored, so the flashlight has a simple gray color in the past. The most important thing is that from the moment I stepped through the door into the lobby, I felt a little eerie and slightly uncomfortable. The smell of rotten wood is stronger, and the temperature inside is slightly cooler than outside. This may seem normal to ordinary people, but I always feel that there is something in it that we can't see staring at us in some places.
As I entered, the three of them cleared up a clearing on the right hand side of the door, and there was a table over there. They spread a disposable film tablecloth on the table, then placed the bags on the seat, and took out a rechargeable light bulb that Xiao Yu held above his head. Seeing that I came in after a while, Xiao Yu said, I thought you ran away. Brother Mao nodded at me, didn't speak, and then walked around the lobby with a flashlight. Zhang Min was packing his backpack, and when he saw me coming in, he said to me, come here.
As I walked, I placed my backpack on the table and straddled my cloth bag over my back. From where we stand, there is a small circular arch diagonally on the left. It was supposed to be the entrance to the wing, and to the right of the large wooden platform, there was a circular arch, but it was smaller, and it was supposed to lead to the back room of the hermitage. Maybe it's the kitchen toilet or something.
Brother Mao quickly turned around in the lobby, returned to the place where the three of us were standing, and whispered to us: "I haven't found any problems for the time being, just to be on the safe side." I'll do a ritual first. ”
Brother Mao said this, Xiaoyu and Zhang Min nodded, and I also nodded. Thinking that this brother Mao is relatively cautious, maybe he is still a master.
Brother Mao took advantage of the light of the lamp to open his large travel bag and took out a black bag from it. After opening it, it was full of incense, candles, paper money, tribute or something. There was also a small red cloth bag, with some yellow rune paper corners peeking out, apparently a small stack of charms.
Brother Mao first took out a pair of red candles and lit one. Insert it in a simple candlestick, and then start lighting another one, but something unexpected happens, when he goes to light another one, he takes the one he ordered and extinguishes it. The reason why I say unexpected is that there was no wind in the house at all, and I didn't see the air flow of anyone's breath blowing on the candle, and the candle went out for no reason, there must be a problem.
Brother Mao frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Xiao Yu and Zhang Min were still looking around, but they didn't notice it at all. Brother Mao lit the red candle in his hand and put it on top of another candlestick, ready to light the one that was extinguished just now, and the moment the lighter was just lit, the previous one was extinguished again. Now I could see clearly that the red candle was not extinguished by the air band, because the flame above it did not move at all. It's like when the oxygen burns out, the flame slowly decreases and then goes out. It was this method of extinguishing that made me sure that there must be a spirit in this room.
"What's going on?" Brother Mao frowned, Xiao Yu also saw the candle go out, and his emotions began to get excited, I don't know if he was excited or afraid. When he walked behind Brother Mao, he waved his peachwood sword, and he put dirty words in his mouth while waving it. I was speechless for a moment, because what he did was useless.
I asked Brother Mao what he wanted to do? Do you want to do it? Brother Mao said yes, there is no harm in worshipping first. I said, you can pay tribute first and then light a candle.
Because this kind of wandering spirit has a strong sense of territory, it is difficult to find a home that it subjectively feels after wandering outside for a long time, and it definitely doesn't want others to disturb it. The red candle is relatively sensitive in the eyes of the spiritual spirits, and it is used in almost all rituals. It's like a stranger who suddenly takes out a knife in front of you and then takes out an apple, and suddenly takes out an apple and then a knife, although the result is the same, but the first feeling you make is completely different.
When Brother Mao heard me say this, he nodded, and laid out all the tributes. Then I lit the red candle, and sure enough, it was not extinguished again. Zhang Min on the side looked at me and said suspiciously: It's really good? I smiled and nodded, but Xiao Yu came up with something that made me cry and laugh: It's so lucky.
After Brother Mao set up the worship table, he began to whisper and say some good things. It probably means that there is no other meaning to spend the night, and I hope to do it conveniently. There are also some special mantras, all of which are some worship mantras. The chanting was slow, and there were pauses in some places, obviously not very familiar with this set of mantras.
(ps: The first update will be sent first, and there will be another one after 12 o'clock, which is for the two students of "Chen Yuxin" and "Support the Soul".) <
