Chapter 281: Closing the Door and Catching Ghosts
Zhang Dashuai heard Wu Zhiyuan's shout, "oh", turned around and walked towards the villa again, just walked a few steps, scolded, turned around and walked towards the west cell. The events of the past two days have made him anxious, his head is a mess, and he has no clue how to do things.
After a while, Zhang Dashuai walked out of the iron gate alone, and when he saw Wu Zhiyuan still standing by the stone platform, he beckoned Wu Zhiyuan into the villa.
The two walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa, at this time the living room had all returned to normal, and the surrounding furnishings had also returned to their original state. The maid brought tea, and Zhang Dashuai was silent with the teacup.
"There's one thing I'd like to ask you to help with." Wu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Dashuai suddenly looked up at Wu Zhiyuan, his face was incredible, now he was begging Wu Zhiyuan, he didn't expect Wu Zhiyuan to beg him in turn.
"About Yu Yisu." Wu Zhiyuan said.
"That bastard, if you don't say Lao Tzu, you can't spare him!" Before Wu Zhiyuan's words were finished, Zhang Dashuai put the teacup heavily on the coffee table with an angry face.
"No, I just want you to let him go, and besides, I want you to help me track down his whereabouts." Wu Zhiyuan said, "Because I have the order of the master, I have to arrest him back." ”
Zhang Dashuai took a few breaths when he heard this, calmed down his anger, and only replied with the word "good", but the expression on his face was very gloomy.
The two fell silent again, and before the cup of tea was finished, the people who went out to buy things came back one after another.
Adjutant Wang walked into the living room and reported embarrassedly: "Dashuai, the old man in the paper shop said that the boy and the girl were originally a couple, and they were not disassembled and sold, so they ......."
"You're fucking brainless! If you don't open it and sell it, you can buy a pair and throw that boy away! Zhang Dashuai stood up in a grumpy temper and kicked Adjutant Wang fiercely.
"The subordinates know, and this is what the subordinates want to say." Adjutant Wang said aggrievedly while rubbing his kicked thigh.
"You bought all the boys and girls?" Wu Zhiyuan got up and asked.
"Yes, I've bought them all." Adjutant Wang looked at Wu Zhiyuan.
"Where?" Wu Zhiyuan asked nervously.
"It's in the yard." Adjutant Wang also looked a little nervous when he saw Wu Zhiyuan's expression change.
"Do boys and girls have eyes?" Wu Zhiyuan asked, and when he saw Adjutant Wang's puzzled face, he asked in detail, "Did they draw their eyes?" ”
"Yes, yes, there are a lot of facial features, and the appearance is realistic." Adjutant Wang hurriedly replied.
"Go and take the boy and the virgin back to back, the boy facing east and the virgin facing west, and then take the virgin and everything else you buy to the door of the little house next to the cell, and the boy burns it on the spot!" Wu Zhiyuan said in a solemn tone.
"The boy faces north, and the virgin ...... East-facing...... Towards where? Adjutant Wang didn't seem to react, and looked at Wu Zhiyuan while gesturing.
"Fuck you! Is the brain full of? Zhang Dashuai scolded and kicked Adjutant Wang fiercely, and the latter almost fell, with resentment in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"The boy faces east and the virgin faces west, so that they do not see each other." Wu Zhiyuan explained, "Once the paper piercing person clicks on the eyes, he has spirituality, the boy and the girl are a pair, if the boy and the girl are taken away, I am afraid it will be unfavorable for me to cast a spell to catch ghosts." ”
"Okay, I'll do it!" Adjutant Wang answered, turned around and ran towards the outside of the living room, Wu Zhiyuan glanced at Zhang Dashuai, and hurriedly followed.
After supervising everyone to send the virgin to the west of the cell courtyard and burning the boy on the spot, Wu Zhiyuan came to the cell area, he walked to the door of the small house north of the poplar forest, put the cloth bag containing things outside the wooden door, and dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhang Dashuai himself.
Wu Zhiyuan looked up at the sun, it was almost noon at this time, and it was lunch time.
"It's almost time, and the imp should be back for lunch. You stand guard at the door, and don't come in, whatever you hear inside, and don't leave without permission, and don't let anyone into this house until I come out. Wu Zhiyuan instructed Zhang Dashuai.
Zhang Dashuai knew that this matter was not trivial, and nodded heavily.
Wu Zhiyuan looked around, picked up the cloth bag on the ground with one hand, picked up the paper to tie the virgin with the other, pushed open the wooden door and walked into the small house.
Candles are still lit on the offering table due north, the candles are less than half burned, the candles are not strong, but the fire is calm, the house is impermeable, and the candle flame will not be disturbed by the air currents outside.
By the faint candlelight, Wu Zhiyuan walked to the offering table, he looked at the porcelain doll next to the glass bottle, there were still three on the right, and one position was empty, which showed that the little ghost had indeed not come back.
Wu Zhiyuan was a little relieved, and placed the paper-tied virgin in front of the offering table, facing the wooden door. The little imp was a little boy, and according to the principle of like-sex attraction, if he did not come back for dinner, if he felt the virgin's presence, he would also rush back under the trend of curiosity.
Poured out all the things in the cloth bag, which contained the yellow paper, cinnabar, paper, money, copper bells, etc. that Wu Zhiyuan needed, looking at these messy things, Wu Zhiyuan took a long breath and calmed down, in fact, now his heart was very panicked, after all, this was the first time he officially used the Maoshan Taoist technique to catch ghosts, and for a half-Taoist priest like himself who only had half a foot in the Maoshan faction, this was not a challenge, but an adventure.
Time can't be delayed, if Wu Zhiyuan is not ready, the little ghost returns, I'm afraid even his own life is in danger.
With this in mind, Wu Zhiyuan sped up, strung the eighteen copper bells with red ropes, and then hung them on the wall around the small house. Then he took out a brush, dipped it in cinnabar, drew an exorcism charm on the yellow paper, and recited the incantation silently while drawing.
Soon, the three paper runes have been drawn, but according to calculations, three paper runes are far from enough, although this little imp is young, but his wisdom is not weak, and he is afraid that it will take ten to trap it.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan was about to draw again, and at this moment, a copper bell in the southwest corner suddenly made a crisp sound of "jingle bell"!
Wu Zhiyuan's body shook, and he looked back suddenly, the copper bell was gently swinging in the dim candlelight, and the nearby bells were all moving.
Wu Zhiyuan's eyes were quick, he grabbed a paper talisman in his hand, rolled his body on the ground, and pasted the paper talisman on the swinging copper bell.
The brass bell suddenly rang, indicating that the imp is back!
And the copper bell swings here, indicating that this is the door for the little ghost to go home, which means that Wu Zhiyuan has sealed the door, and the little ghost has been trapped in this house.
The door that the ghost walks through is not the same door as the door that the person walks, and the ghost gate comes according to the direction of the five elements and the feng shui of the earth, so in order to trap him, you must first find the ghost gate. However, the direction of the five elements and the division of water from the earth and qi are always changing, so the ghost gate will also change because of this. The ghost gate that Wu Zhiyuan found could only last for a short time, so he had to subdue the little ghost in this short time.
Wu Zhiyuan took off his shirt and quickly drew a gossip pattern on the back of his shirt, as long as he wrapped the little ghost in this dress, he could trap him inside, but what he had to do now was to find his traces.
As soon as the gossip map was drawn, before Wu Zhiyuan picked up his shirt, he heard a copper bell suddenly sound "jingle".
Wu Zhiyuan looked up suddenly, and saw that a copper bell in the east was swinging non-stop, and the crisp sound of "jingle bell" was made by it!
"Oops! The imp is going to run! Wu Zhiyuan shouted, and was about to rush towards the copper bell with both hands on his shirt, but as soon as he got up, he suddenly stopped.
Because he saw an even more bizarre scene.
