Chapter 156: Huang Xian marries a girl
Xu Minghao suddenly complained: "Master, since you want us to catch goblins and ghosts at night, why do you want to exhaust us so much that you don't even give us a bite to eat?" In this way, how can we have the strength......"
Du Lao said: "I just deliberately want to wear down your mental strength. ”
Lin Chu and the three of them didn't understand it very much.
Du Lao then explained: "You three young men, the yang energy is too strong, even if you go to the mass grave at night, those ghost fires will not dare to come out. Therefore, only by making you exhausted, hungry and tired, can you lure the demon fire to come out and follow you. ”
Only then did they understand Du Lao's good intentions.
"You come with me."
Du Lao took the firewood knife, left the house with the three of them, and went up the back mountain.
Lin Chu asked curiously, "Master, are you going to take us to the mass grave in person?" ”
Du Lao said: "It's still early, I'll take you to cut bamboo." ”
Xu Minghao asked: "What do you do with cutting bamboo?" ”
Du Lao said: "Of course, it is to make a trap to catch Huang Xian. ”
He took them to a bamboo forest.
The moon is bright in late autumn, and the evening breeze is cold.
There was a rustling sound in the dark bamboo forest.
"To choose this kind of green bamboo that is not tender and not old, it is too tender, not strong enough, too old, and not enough spirituality, which is not an ideal material for catching yellow immortals."
While explaining, Du Lao used a firewood knife to carve marks on the green bamboo, and after selecting seven or eight, he handed the firewood knife to the three people and asked them to cut it.
After cutting down the green bamboo, the three of them dragged them back to Du Lao's courtyard from the mountain.
Du Lao selected the upper part of the middle of these seven green bamboos, and discarded the rest of the parts.
Then ask the three of them to split the selected parts into bamboo strips.
Then he took it upon himself to compile it.
Du Lao is not only a master craftsman in making wax figures, but also very good at weaving.
After a while, a bamboo basket has begun to take shape.
Lin Chu said suspiciously, "Master, is your cage a little too big?" ”
Hu Lai also said: "I also think it's a little big, how big is the weasel, you can almost sit in this cage alone." ”
Du Lao said: "It's not big, it's not big, it's just right, if it's too small, it won't look like a sedan chair." ”
"Sedan chair!"
The three of them were amazed, and they didn't know until now that Du Lao had made a sedan chair.
No wonder this bamboo cage is different from what they usually see, it is square, and one side is still empty.
Lin Chu asked puzzledly: "Old Du, didn't you say that you want to be a trap?" ”
Du Lao said: "This is a trap!" Have you ever heard of 'Yellow Fairy Marrying a Girl'? ”
The three shook their heads.
"Hey! Nowadays, young people know about these folk mountain and wild anecdotes, and there are really fewer and fewer people. ”
Du Lao sighed in disappointment, and then explained that the reason why he wanted to make the trap look like a sedan chair was because Huang Xian especially liked to sit in a sedan chair.
Once the welcoming procession passes through the mountains and passes through Huang Xian's territory, Huang Xian hears the sound of gongs and drums, and will come out of the cave to quietly follow.
Until the bride on the sedan chair can't help but get off the sedan chair to pay tribute, Huang Xian will cast a spell at this time, so that the bride will get lost in the mountains and forests.
Then it will take the form of a bride and swagger back into the procession.
Once at the destination, Huang Xian will immediately slip away.
When the groom lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, it was empty, with only a few yellow fluffs.
Only then did I know that I had met Huang Xian, so I would turn around and find the real bride who was still lost in the woods.
Because this kind of Huang Xian sedan chair often happens, the folk have a saying that Huang Xian marries a girl, which means that Huang Xian just wants to marry a girl, so he pretends to welcome his relatives.
In fact, this has nothing to do with whether the yellow fairy marries a girl or not, and it is not only the female yellow fairy who sits in a sedan chair, but also a lot of male yellow fairy, purely because this creature is curious, and especially likes the atmosphere of the sedan chair and the beating of gongs and drums.
It is precisely because of the folk saying that the yellow fairy marries a girl, so over time, there is a custom, that is, on the way to welcome relatives, no matter what happens, the bride can not get off the sedan chair.
Therefore, many brides who are far away from their husband's house begin not to eat or drink the day before they get on the sedan chair, in order to avoid getting off the sedan chair in a hurry on the way.
After listening to Du Lao's introduction, the three of them finally understood why this trap to catch Huang Xian had to be made into a sedan chair.
While Du Lao was talking, he had already made up a triangular sedan roof.
He connected the roof of the sedan to the rectangular car, then hung red cloth and other decorations on the outer layer, and finally tied it to two bamboo poles to make a sedan chair that looked decent.
After that, he took out the dusty gong and suona from the room, and said to the three of them: "The two of you carry the sedan chair in the back, and one person plays the gong and blows the suona in front." ”
The three of them were immediately assigned, Lin Chu and Hu Lai carried the sedan chair, and Xu Minghao played the gong and played the suona.
Lin Chu asked, "Old Du, can you catch Huang Xian in this way?" ”
"Of course not, this is just to introduce Huang Xian into the urn, if you want it to run away, you need one more thing!"
Du Lao returned to the house, took down a candlestick from the shrine, and took the candle down: "You only need to wait for Huang Xian to sit in the sedan chair, and then insert this candlestick that worships incense in front of the shrine every day into the roof of the sedan chair, then it will never be able to escape again." ”
"Thank you, Master." Lin Chu took the candlestick with both hands.
"Master, where is your thatched house, I'm a little anxious." Xu Minghao said suddenly.
He had been enduring it all the time in order to hear what was going on with Huang Xian's marriage, but now that the story is over, and the process of how to capture Huang Xian has also been understood, he can finally be liberated with peace of mind.
"It's right behind the firewood room."
"Thank you, Master."
Xu Minghao held his stomach and left.
Lin Chu then asked: "Master, we already know the method of catching Huang Xian, how do we catch the ghost fire?" ”
Du Lao said: "The ghost fire is the condensation of the yin energy of the cemetery into the yin fire, and the person with light yang energy, once he approaches the cemetery at midnight, it will naturally attract a lot of ghost fire." ”
"When the number of ghost fires reaches a certain level, they will gather together and transform into human forms to form Yan Oni."
"The Yan Ghost is very ferocious, and with the strength of the three of you, it is very difficult to force it to be subdued."
As he spoke, Du Lao turned around and took out a small bottle from the drawer of the wooden cabinet at the back:
"It's called the Seven Star Bottle, and it was given to me by an old man of mine many years ago, who knew that there was a mass grave in my hometown, so he gave me this bottle. Because this seven-star bottle is a thing that specifically restrains the ghosts, as long as the mouth of the bottle is shouted at the ghosts, the ghosts can be included in it. ”
Lin Chu took it cautiously, observed it carefully, and found that this bottle was engraved with the Big Dipper on the inside of the bottle mouth, no wonder it was called this name.
Du Lao said: "There is still a little time, you go to take a bath first, so as not to sweat all over your body, Huang Xian is not willing to get into the sedan chair." I'm going to prepare the tools for making the Green Spirit Lantern later. ”
Lin Chu temporarily put the Seven Star Bottle on the table and put it together with the candlestick.
Then he and Hu went to the bathhouse to carry water for a bath.
After a while, Xu Minghao also came.
Now this condition, of course, is that there is no hot water, and they can only take cold showers.
Xu Minghao is young and afraid of the cold.
So I wiped my body casually and was the first to come out and get dressed.
Lin Chu instructed, "You go and bring the candlestick and the bottle on the table in the hall." ”
"No problem."
Xu Minghao answered and went out first.
After a while, Lin Chu and Hu Lai also came out of the shower.
It's past midnight now, and it's just in time to set off for the mass grave.
So when Lin Chu and Hu Lai came out of the shower, they directly lifted the sedan chair and walked out.
When he went out, Lin Chu also asked, "Minghao, have you finished taking all the things?" ”
Xu Minghao said: "Don't worry, it's all in the bag." ”
The three of them went out like this, and climbed up the opposite hill.
Gradually, halfway up the mountain, they saw more and more lonely graves, and in the night, there were gradually dark blue points of light, floating over, following the three people from a distance of more than ten meters.
This is the mass grave of Kan Township.
Today is the fifteenth day of the ninth lunar month, and the moon in the sky is very bright, but the moonlight cannot dispel the deep haze of this mass grave.
This mass grave with withered grass and barren grass in late autumn, at this time in the middle of the night, exudes an extremely eerie atmosphere.
Everywhere, high and low grave bags, like a pair of large and small eyes, staring at the three people who broke in......
