Chapter 69: Mercy
I turned off my flashlight and watched the figures in the middle of the graveyard quietly. There are four fires in total, and there are two people with the same division of labor next to each fire, one squatting on the ground and burning paper money, and the other holding an unknown branch with his back to the fire and circling in circles, and the branch in his hand has been waving up and down. There are words in the mouth, and because the distance is too far, I don't know what I am reading.
While I was still observing, the Iron Egg following us bypassed me and began to walk slowly that way. I reached out and grabbed the iron egg and pulled it back, and then it shook its head and pointed at the people who were burning paper in the middle of the graveyard, and a look of longing leaked from its face.
Yadan also walked up slowly, grabbed Tiedan's hand and said inarticulately: "Don't go......"
"What's going on," I habitually asked my sister.
Senior Sister frowned and said, "Those people are very strange, looking at Tie Dan's reaction, they should be summoning spirits"
I instantly understood, Tie Dan is not a ghost, he will be attracted to those things, and Ya Dan is a ghost, and he will not be interested in things like paper money, and Tie Dan, as a devouring ghost, can't help but want to go over there, which shows that these people are really summoning spirits.
I used my hand to draw a soul-stabilizing spell on Tie Dan's forehead to prevent it from being attracted further, and asked a little strangely, "What are they trying to do with the souls around them?"
Senior Sister shook her head and said, "I don't know, let's see." ”
I nodded, hunched over and pulled my sister into a small bush, and began to take a closer look at the men.
There were nine people in total, in groups of twos and twos, and there were four fires that were burned with paper money, and if the cemetery was divided into four equal parts of the same size according to the field grid, each fire would be in the middle of the four equal parts. Each fire has one person spinning in circles before adding to it. In the very center of the cemetery, a man in a yellow robe stood on top of what looked like a coffin. Holding a large spirit banner in his hand, he has words in his mouth.
"Senior brother, why don't we go over and ask," senior sister said abruptly.
I shook my head and said, "No, let's see what they're going to do." ”
After about ten minutes, the shouting of the robe in the middle became louder and louder, and one by one the ghosts slowly emerged from the tomb, roughly counting, there were about twenty or thirty. The spirits came out and slowly gathered into the nearest fire.
I don't know why, but Iron Egg started to get excited again after seeing those ghosts, and if I hadn't been holding its hand, I guess it would have run over. After the ghosts gathered in front of the fire, the few people who were turning around with their backs to the fire also stopped their steps and the movements in their hands, standing still in place, and the people who had been putting yellow paper money into the fire also stopped their movements. Suddenly, those people were stunned as if they had been pointed
One by one, the ghosts passed by the fire in an orderly manner, and then bent down and grabbed it with their hands. According to my guess, they were grabbing the burned paper money, and after grabbing it, they lined up to gather in the middle of the man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a spirit flag.
The mantra in the middle was shouted over and over again, and we heard it more and more clearly, but we didn't understand what it meant. The ghosts from all four directions slowly gathered towards him, and then stood in front of him in four rows, as if they had gathered in the army. Unlike the soldiers, the ghosts all bowed their heads.
"I'll go, why is it a bit of a ghost king." The senior sister sighed, "This pomp and circumstance, do you welcome King Yama?"
"Probably not, just read it and you'll know." I stared intently at the center of the cemetery, for fear of missing something.
After all the ghosts were lined up and stood still, the man shook the spirit banner three times, then pushed it behind him, and the spell in his mouth stopped at this moment.
He grabbed a peachwood sword at his feet, raised his head and pulled it abruptly at the sky, and shouted in his mouth: "There are many sentient beings who have been wronged, and the grievances are deep and difficult to solve, the first life has been wronged, and the third life has never stopped, I am now passing on the wonderful law, the reincarnation will leave by itself, the pathless will stay by themselves, and the person in the coffin will seek reincarnation for humanity, and untie the grievances in turn, and be as urgent as the law."
"What kind of spell is this?" the senior sister asked aloud as she stared closely.
I said casually: "It's a bit like a curse, but it's not exactly, the reincarnation leaves by itself, and the path is left by itself, the meaning is obvious." ”
"It seems that these people are not bad, they have let go of all the yin spirits with reincarnation paths, leaving some lonely souls and wild ghosts." Senior Sister nodded and said.
Sure enough, after he uttered the incantation, a dozen or so of the twenty or thirty ghosts broke away from the group and burrowed into their own graves.
Some friends may ask why there are ghosts in these graves, and don't these people go to the underworld after they die?
In fact, the yin spirits in these tomb bags are basically not the souls of the owner of the tomb bags, this place gathers yin, and the tomb bags can allow some geists to find a place to live. When the owner of the tomb bag goes to the underworld, these spirits with no reincarnation will enter the tomb to hide from the sun during the day. Just like we do buses, there is no one in this position, so you can sit casually, and if there are people, you will not rush to sit in it. Of course, if the owner of the tomb comes back occasionally, the ghost who lives in the tomb will have to give up the tomb.
After all the reincarnation spirits were gone, the Taoist jumped off the coffin, and the other eight people also recovered from their static state and gathered towards the middle.
They arrived at the coffin almost at the same time, and together they opened the lid and lifted it, and gently placed it on the ground behind them.
Once they were placed, they all took three steps back, keeping the same distance from the coffins as the ghosts.
The Taoist held the peachwood sword and tapped it on the coffin as he whispered a mantra, but this time he couldn't hear what it was. But what happened next made me understand what he meant.
One of the ghosts broke away from the group, walked slowly towards the coffin, then climbed in, and in a few seconds crawled out again, followed by the second repeating the same motion, the third, the fourth, the fifth, each of them. The ghosts that climbed in and out did not leave, as if they had been trained, but slowly returned to the middle of the group.
"What are they doing trying the coffin?" the senior sister looked at it for a while, and asked a little confused, "Whoever is suitable for sleeping will give it to whom."
Just as I was about to speak, one of the Yin Spirits had already gone in for almost a minute and had not come out, and the Taoist hurriedly took the peachwood sword, drew a lot of sword talismans in the sky above the coffin, and then beckoned the others to close the coffin.
"They're looking for a suitable resentful soul with no reincarnation, and they've found it." I said.
Senior Sister nodded and said, "Well, I understand it too." If you find it, let's leave quickly, this piece of resentment has been recruited by them, and we can't find anything else if we want to find it. ”
"yes." I said, I want them to leave quickly, too. It's getting late, and if they don't leave, we really don't know where to find the Yin Soul to fight with Master Chen in a short period of time.
"Taishang Laojun, teach me to kill ghosts, and ...... with me" When I was still expecting them to leave early, I suddenly heard the Taoist start shouting the ghost killing spell, I couldn't care so much anymore, and said to my senior sister to put the iron eggs into the wooden card, got up and rushed out of the bushes.
"Have mercy on me, senior," I shouted, running towards the middle of the cemetery, these ghosts are going to be killed by him, where can I find them.
Seeing me walk over suddenly, several of them were stunned for a moment, but they didn't move, just stood where they were and waited for me. The Taoist also stopped the incantation in his mouth and looked at me suspiciously.
I quickly walked to the middle of the cemetery and said to the Taoist: "The seniors are polite, the juniors Liu Dagger has worshipped, it's good to leave three of these resentful souls for me, I'm useful." ”
When I walked in, I found that the Taoist was in his fifties and sixties, with a kind face, and he didn't look like a treacherous person, and he had taken the initiative to let go of those ghosts with a reincarnation path before, which made me have a great impression of him.
The Taoist looked me up and down and said, "Hehe, you are also a Taoist teacher, and he is a teacher of the school," and his Mandarin was very non-standard, with a thick Hong Kong accent.
"Yes, seniors, juniors live in the Taoist temple on the mountainside, the family teacher has been feathered, please be merciful to the seniors, let me take away the three yin spirits, I have other uses." I said respectfully.
Seeing that my tone was sincere, the Taoist nodded and said, "I don't have to disperse these resentful spirits, but you have to tell me what you want to do with them, and if they are used to torture them, I won't agree." ”
"Senior, family master Wu Guang, we want three yin ghosts this time to punish the wicked, please fulfill the seniors." Senior Sister's voice came from behind, and there was firmness in her tone
"Brother Wu Guangwu, you are Brother Wu's disciples," the Taoist looked surprised, put down the peachwood sword in his hand and walked quickly in front of us.
At the cemetery, I met my old friend from Master. Recently, I have seen a lot of screenshots of the WeChat circle of friends recommending this book, thank you readers, your friends will thank you, this book will definitely not disappoint you
