Chapter 40: The Dirt Bag

The charm of the old man is a four-character mantra created by the old man's method of opening the altar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

These four characters replace the fierce, auspicious, ghost, and snake in the five elements of gossip.

From a literal point of view, it is nothing more than two situations that can be judged as "good" or "bad", so there will be Ah Gong's question.

What the old man explained to me was not the same as I understood.

So the fish represents the snake, what is the dragon? In Han legend, it is a kind of monster that secretly harms people in the water, and if you shoot people with sand grains in your mouth or shoot people's shadows, you will get sores if you are shot, and those who are shot at the shadow will also get sick.

This creature was common in ancient times, but in our generation, at best, it has been used as a legend to scare little dolls.

And the so-called charm, which represents "auspicious", is not troublesome to explain, for example, it can be described as something that is not too big or too small to go out and pick up money.

Let's talk about the dragon, it is "fierce", what is fierce? It is a description of deep feelings in psychology, but in terms of Tao, it can be judged as: bad years and good years. That is, ferociousness, chaos, frugality, apology, and calamity, none of which are good.

The last word, the name "魉", means "ghost", which can be understood as something that cannot be scientifically explained, and the trouble it brings, mostly for the things done by some ghosts scattered in the world, and there are also some embodied spirits doing things.

And the reason why the four characters of the charm and the devil appeared on the altar formation opened by the old man was because he had not started to explore the location at all in this first step, but was guessing, or divination, whether what would happen next would be beneficial to him or harmful to him.

"魑" represents the evil, that is, the disadvantages of the good and the bad.

"So for now, our situation is not good, but it is more serious," said the old man, holding a cigarette and doubts flashing between his eyebrows.

"According to what you said, the road behind us will attract such a ghost?" I asked unconsciously, with some trepidation in my heart.

"It's not all," the old man shook his head and said, "Although bad things will happen when this word comes out, it may not really happen."

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was still slightly convinced of him, in short, everyone was on the same rope, and if he took a wrong step, he would suffer.

Ah Gong's face has never been good since he saw the word Wei, but the bandit ran to the side and smiled with the lotus tiger.

"What are we going to do next?" I asked.

The old man squinted, ignored me, and stomped on the underground gossip with his own feet, the yellow light gradually disappeared with the shadow, and the word representing the snake disappeared without a trace.

When I saw him like this, I thought he was going to give up the way down, and I breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect him to wave his hand and say to us: "Let's go, let's go down and explore, no matter what the hell he is, he will be knocked down."

With that, he walked into the depths of the oasis first, ignoring what we decided.

Maybe he's in a bad mood, or maybe he's already calculated that we'll follow, and I don't know what he's doing, so I can only do it without hesitation.

Ah Gong took the lead and led me to follow the footsteps of the old man, and the bandit didn't care about his appearance because he was having fun with the lotus tiger, so he took his hand and walked at the end.

I don't have any antipathy in my heart, because as far as truth is concerned, Lianhu's heart is just a ten-year-old boy, how can there be any scheming at all, and with Ah Gong here, I don't worry that he will cause trouble.

The oasis was endless, and the old man took us around several circles, surrounded by some rivers and trees, which obscured a lot of light.

I didn't know what the purpose was, so I could only pay careful attention to the road under my feet, for fear of stepping on something terrible.

Because it was so dark, almost when we had walked only a few miles, there was hardly any sunlight in front of us, and there was a green cover over our heads, as if God didn't want to give us light.

"Master, why is this road so difficult?" The bandit couldn't help but complain.

We were stepping through a muddy field, and every foot we stepped on here could get a lot of wet mud, and the only unique old man seemed to be walking on the ground, and he didn't see the slightest slowdown, and when he lifted his foot, he was full of tigers.

On the other hand, we will sink into the mud as soon as we put it hard, and it is really a troublesome situation to pull it out, although it is hard, but we can only endure it silently.

"Give less to Lao Tzu to be poor, where do you go to suffer all the hardships on weekdays? Complain about this little bit of a problem."

The old man didn't look back and sent the scolding into the bandits' ears.

I can understand that this is not just to the bandits, but to everyone present.

Ah Gong was silent, the bandits were not reassured, and it seemed that the only person who could understand was me.

I gritted my teeth and followed with hatred, thinking to myself what this was, not enough for the pain of reading and writing.

The effect of the wet mud was so strong that I was lucky enough to come out almost when my shoes and trouser cuffs were completely covered.

When I looked up again, I saw a field full of dirt bags.

These earthen bags are not standardized, but they are all protruding, and the number is so powerful that you can't see the end at a glance, like a miniature version of the mountains.

"This ...... What are they? "I was a little stunned, I had worked so hard to get to this hellish place, but I was blocked by a bunch of dirt bags.

Before the old man could answer, Ah Gong walked up first, and he inserted his finger into a dirt bag, feeling that he could go deeper, so he exerted his strength again, and his whole arm was more than half of his arm probed in.

He shook and pulled it a few times, and his face changed suddenly.

"Oops!"

Seeing this, the old man noticed that Ah Gong's face was slowly turning from blue to purple, and the blood was fading down his neck, and he yelled: "Help drag it out!" Fast! ”

I heard the conversation and understood that Ah Gong was in danger, so I reacted almost like lightning, pulled up the bandits behind me and rushed towards where Ah Gong was.

And the old man was in front of us, took out a dagger from his body, the tip of the knife was sharp, he motioned for the two of us to pull Ah Gong out, and said to Ah Gong: "If it's not right, I'll cut it, Wei Zi, resist"

Ah Gong did not object, nodded, but the pain in his eyes increased violently, almost instantaneously, he couldn't hold back anymore, and screamed frantically.

I and the bandit strained violently, and found that he was not moved in the slightest, and the dirt on the dirt bag was even more unresponsive, but I clearly saw that Ah Gong's arm was covered with a dark black, and the spots were particularly prominent.

"Hurry up!"

The old man obviously saw it before me, and he immediately dropped the knife in his hand and grabbed Ah Gong's whole body with us.

Laugh at!

His clothes were torn, but at last his body moved out a little, and when we saw hope, the old man roared again, and with all his strength, he pulled Ah Gong out of the dirt bag like a turnip.
