Chapter 181: "Licensed Goods" in the Grocery Store
When the grocer saw that we looked unusual, he immediately understood what was going on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info He pulled two pieces of rune paper from the pocket of his cotton coat, then bit his thumb and brushed the rune paper with blood. After a moment, he suddenly scolded and pasted the two rune papers in his hand on the foreheads of me and Li Zhisheng respectively.
Suddenly, I felt my head heavi, and suddenly my eyes went black, and I fell to the ground with a "poof......
ā¦ā¦
I don't know how long it took me to rub my throbbing temples and open my eyes, "What's going on?" I said to myself.
"You're still ...... in the grocery store," the grocery store owner's voice came from the side.
After hearing this, I hurriedly got up and found that Yaolong was also standing beside the boss at this time, and behind them lay Hu Fang, Li Zhisheng, and Dead Apostles. They were all placed on makeshift "beds" made of wooden planks.
Seeing this, I asked, "Did you stop us from getting sick?" ā
The grocery store owner nodded and said, "Exactly, I used the talisman to temporarily seal your own soul in your body and keep you in a comatose state, so that you can stop doing things that hurt yourself." But I'm not an exorcist, so I've learned a little bit from others. ā
"And how long have you blocked us?" I asked.
The grocery store owner stretched out a hand, opened his palm and said, "Five hours, I can only do this at most." Judging from my experience, as long as you avoid the extreme yin, you should be fine. ā
"It's twelve o'clock when we get here, and I've slept for five hours, is it exactly five o'clock now?" I muttered to myself, and was about to take out my phone to look at it, but was interrupted by the boss on the side and said, "No, it's only past three o'clock, and the void in your body seems to have a very strong power, and it has broken through my seal very early." ā
After he finished speaking, I just took out my mobile phone, and it showed that it was half past three in the morning. Then, I turned my head to look at the Dead Apostle and Li Zhisheng lying on the side, and said, "If it's really as the boss said, then they will have to sleep for at least another hour and a half." ā
With that in mind, I got up, left the hard plank "bed," told the grocer what had happened to us in the mine, and asked him why it had happened.
The boss explained: "Because the mine is under a spell, it interferes with the five senses and leads people to other places. It sounds like a hallucination, but it's not the same thing as a hallucination......"
"Isn't it all a distraction? Why are these two different things? "I don't understand.
"Illusions are direct sighting of things that don't exist, and they have a direct impact on the spirit. And this spell is applied to the soul, which is to cause the soul to give wrong instructions to its own body and to behave wrongly, just as you are caused by those so-called 'diseases', and also by influencing the soul, causing the body to behave differently from the consciousness. ā
Listening to him explain this, I understood. It turns out that when people are hallucinating, their actions are still controlled by their own consciousness, but this spell can cause consciousness and behavior to go in two diametrically opposite directions.
"Then since you've investigated all of this, have you found a way to crack it?" I asked.
He shook his head and said, "No, after so many years, I have searched all the clues and have not found any way to crack it. If I had the means, do you think I'd become one with the Void......" He let out a long sigh and continued, "The only thing I know now is that there may be something hidden in the mine that controls these ghosts, but I can't get in, let alone know what's inside. And it takes something called 'hate' to crack it. It is said that only those who possess this ability will not be disturbed by the mine entrance charm. ā
Hearing this, I was shocked, "Could it be that he wants me to use hatred?!" But now not only is the mark about to grow, but there is no jie around me, and once I lose control, everyone present will die......"
At this time, Yaolong, who had not spoken, saw my anxious face and asked me, "What's the matter, is it no longer usable?" ā
I nodded: "You don't know the current situation, I only have the five orders that the Dead Apostles gave me on the plane, let alone stop 'hatred', I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to seal my unawakened void for a long time." ā
Listen, although Yaolong knows a little bit about Gu techniques, he only knows a little bit about the skin, not to mention these spells, charms and the like. He frowned, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but he just pinched Qingling and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this point, when the grocer heard me mention Jie , he hesitated, slapped his thigh and said, "Do you mean that you know how to use 'hate'?" As long as you have a Jie, you can, right?! He looked a little excited.
I explained to him, "You don't know, the power of 'hatred' seems to be available to people who are born with vanity, and I don't know why you don't. Although it is not difficult to use, it is very difficult to control, and it is very likely to lose one's humanity and lead to the killing of innocents. And Jie is used to seal this power as a last resort. ā
"Maybe it's because my vanity is too weak......" The boss muttered, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "However, I really have one, this can be said to be a treasure left by my ancestors, I have been reluctant to use it, I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time......"
As he spoke, he turned around and ran out of the room, and Yaolong and I wondered, "He is a feng shui master, how can his ancestors have a good fortune?" Could it be that his ancestor works part-time to exorcise demons and catch ghosts? Yaolong muttered to himself.
Although I have the same doubts in my heart as Yaolong, but after thinking about it, maybe they are used to defend themselves and save their lives, after all, even if they are not used, they can be regarded as evil spirits.
Just as he was thinking, the grocery store owner came in from outside the house with a wooden box full of dust. He held the box in front of me, brushed the dust off it with his sleeve and said, "Look, it's ...... right here," and as he lifted the box up, he slowly opened the lid in front of me.
At that moment, I noticed that there was only a small piece of paper in the drawer-sized box, the size of ordinary rune paper, and the length of a finger. Under the light, which is not bright, it looks very old.
I didn't dare reach for it, for fear that if I touched it, it would rot to ashes. "W-can this still work?" I asked worriedly.
When the grocer saw that I didn't believe me, he took out the talisman paper and threw the wooden box aside. He held up the talisman paper and said to me, "Since you mentioned Jie, you must have used it as well." Whether it can really be used or not, you will know if you try it in your hand. With that, he handed me the rune paper.
I cautiously reached out and was about to pick it up. Unbeknownst to me, as soon as I touched the corner of the rune paper, I felt a strong sense of heaviness, which was completely different from the jie I had obtained before......
