Chapter 14: The Flame of the Netherworld

Zhang Guanshan nodded with satisfaction, "Lin Xi, you really didn't disappoint the master!" In just one day, you will already be able to connect the actual practice with the Tao Te Ching, and I believe it will not be long before you will surpass the master in terms of comprehension of the Dao! ”

I scratched my head a little embarrassed by Zhang Guanshan's praise, and I didn't know what to say! I had to look down at my paper crane, and I saw that it had pecked off the tomato stem, and now it was trying to pick up the whole tomato! Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Fortunately, my paper crane is not a foodie, but a spirit crane that is dutifully responsible for completing my instructions. Maybe my mind is not strong enough now, and after holding the tomato a few times, the paper crane fell to the ground as if he had exhausted all his strength. I picked it up and placed it in the palm of my hand, and it moved its head and nodded at me slightly, as if to say that it was sorry that it couldn't complete its mission. I gently stroked its head with my index finger and comforted it, "You've done a good job, it's my strength that isn't enough!" Don't worry, when my power grows stronger, you will become even stronger! As if he understood my words, the crane gently rested its head on my palm and lost its life, turning back into an ordinary crane.

Zhang Guanshan's gaze at me was a little complicated, with sighs, envy and regrets. But when he took me back, he had already put away all these emotions. Zhang Guanshan sighed and said, "Lin Xi, you go back to the house with me!" ”

"Oh!" I nodded in agreement and followed behind Zhang Guanshan. When I arrived at the Taoist room, Zhang Guanshan picked up the evil talisman I had drawn earlier and said: "In the Taoist method, in addition to using telekinesis to urge the paper man and paper crane and other props, you must also use telekinesis to urge people to ignite the talisman. Only a spell ignited with human fire will have the mana of the spell itself, and if it is ignited by borrowing a mortal object, it will only have three layers of effect at most. ”

"Master, what is human fire?" I know what Zhang Guanshan said about using human fire to ignite the charm, he has done it before when he was in the Zhang family and the hotel, and I was surprised why he was able to ignite the charm out of thin air! It turns out that this is the result of him using his telekinesis to urge human fire, but I don't understand what human fire is.

"You must have heard your grandmother say that there are three fires on the top of the head and on the shoulders of a person!" Zhang Guanshan asked rhetorically. I nodded, and my grandmother did tell me. She said that there are three fires in the human body, which are called yang fires. People who are strong in the sun will be afraid when they see ghosts! However, if you can't turn back when you hear a stranger calling while walking at night, you should hold your breath even if you do. Because once you turn around, your exhaled breath will blow out the yang fire on your shoulder, and if the yang fire on your shoulder is extinguished, it will be easy to provoke evil spirits.

Zhang Guanshan nodded when he saw me and continued: "Even if these three fires are human fires, they are also called yang fires in your Sichuan. There are three kinds of fire in heaven and earth. Heavenly fire, earth fire and human fire. The heavenly fire is the spark that swells out when thunder and lightning strikes, and the power of the heavenly fire is the strongest, even if it is a powerful evil, it is not a star. The second is the earth fire, the earth fire is also called the Yin Si Hellfire, which is the unique fire of the Yin Division in the underworld, which is specially used to deal with ghosts. The last is human fire, and human fire is also everyone's natal fire. Once the human fire is extinguished, the human soul cannot be kept! Whether it is a Taoist priest or an onmyoji, when lighting an everlasting lamp for others, they use human fire. ”

"Master, what can you do to urge people to ignite the charm?" I asked, tilting my head. Zhang Guanshan picked up the pen and dipped it in cinnabar, and quickly drew a talisman to ward off evil spirits, he used the yellow talisman between the index finger and the middle finger, and I also learned from him to sandwich the yellow talisman between the middle finger and the index finger.

Zhang Guanshan glanced at me and said: "It is much easier to use mental power to urge human fire than to urge paper cranes, you only need to concentrate your mental power and keep thinking about the burning appearance of the yellow fu in your mind, and you can urge the human fire to ignite the yellow rune!" Like this......" After Zhang Guanshan finished speaking, his eyes widened, and the yellow talisman in his hand burned. He threw the burning talisman into the iron basin under the table, and held out his hand to signal me to do as he did.

I stared at the yellow talisman in my hand, and kept thinking about the burning of the yellow talisman in my mind, and after a while, the yellow talisman "boomed" and burned. I was immediately overjoyed, "Master, it's burning, it's burning!" Zhang Guanshan looked at the flame burning from the yellow fu with a surprised face, and I looked down at the flame burning out of the yellow fu when I saw his surprised look, and I was also startled at this look, how could this flame have a faint cyan? Seeing that the yellow talisman was almost burned, I quickly threw the remaining bit of paper into the iron basin.

Zhang Guanshan looked at me with a complicated expression, "Lin Xi, how much surprise do you have to bring me?" ”

I looked at Zhang Guanshan puzzled, not understanding what he meant! Zhang Guanshan sighed lightly and said: "Just now the master told you about three kinds of fire, among which the color of the heavenly fire is purple, the color of the human fire is golden red, and the color of the Yin Si Hellfire is also cyan!" ”

"Huh?" I'm amazed at this! Yin Si Hellfire? How so? Zhang Guanshan thought for a while and said, "Lin Xi, you won't be Yin Si, I'm sure of this." Your human fire is cyan, which should be related to the fact that you are the body of the most yin and are born psychic! There is a faint power of Yin Si in your human fire, which will only make the power of the spell even more powerful! In time, you will be able to take revenge with your own hands! Lin Xi, I'll take you out to practice in two days! Now that you have basically mastered the theoretical knowledge of the Dao Fa, it will be difficult for you to improve your Dao practice if you stay in my small place all the time! In the next two days, I will hand over to you all the formations that the spells match one by one! ”

"Thank you, master!" Hearing Zhang Guanshan say that I can take revenge with my own hands, I am extremely excited and sentimental, my parents, grandparents, and uncles and aunts in Linjia Village, have you heard? Lin Xi can avenge you, Lin Xi can avenge you with his own hands!

Since the beginning of the afternoon, Zhang Guanshan began to teach me the arrangement and effectiveness of various formations, learning formations is more difficult than memorizing the "Tao Te Ching", and I only mastered three kinds in one afternoon.

After dinner, I took a pillar of incense to the house where many jars were placed. The master said that the jar on the left was empty, and the jar on the right was once filled with ghosts, and now those ghosts have been reincarnated! The jars placed on the middle shelf contained ghosts, except for Zhou Qianqian, several other ghosts were still in the process of crossing. In order to avoid mistakes, the master pasted a piece of yellow paper on each jar, on which the name of the ghost was written in cinnabar. I found the small jar with Zhou Qianqian's name written on it, lit the incense and inserted it into the small incense burner in front of the jar.
