At eight o'clock in the evening, when Li Ziping came to Lao Li's house, the courtyard of Lao Li's house was already crowded with villagers watching the excitement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's been a long time since so many people gathered in the village to watch the excitement. On weekdays, only when there is a troupe on stage during the New Year's holidays, so many people will gather. Tonight, the courtyard of Lao Li's house is so crowded that there is no place to stand. Fortunately, these villagers still know that this kind of thing is not allowed to bring children, so as not to provoke anything unclean.

The pigs raised by Lao Li's family were temporarily brought to other people's homes for fostering.

"Ziping is here?"

When the villagers in the village saw that Li Ziping had arrived, they were overjoyed, and they had been waiting for a long time. These people are indeed idle, and they come early after dinner to occupy their seats. At that time, there was no activity in the countryside after dark, there was no electricity or TV, and I went to bed early on weekdays.

Seeing so many villagers, Li Ziping was also taken aback. Sure enough, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"Ziping, what you want me to prepare, I'm ready." Lao Li said. As soon as he finished speaking, he asked people to lead the black dog and walk forward with an iron basin and a wine jar.

"These five people are strong and bold, how about you take a look?" Lao Li said.

Li Ziping glanced at the five people, and when his eyes fell on the four people in front of him, it was okay, but when he saw the fifth person, he immediately frowned. This person collapsed in the sky, his eyebrows were linked, his eyes were blue, his eyes were wandering, although he had a good body, he was a short-lived ghost.

"What's wrong?" The third uncle seemed to see that the expression on Li Ziping's face was wrong, and asked.

Li Ziping looked at the man and said, "Big brother, what do you call it?" ”

"Just call me Applejack." The man grinned.

Li Ziping nodded and said, "Ajie, you stay in the courtyard with the villagers tonight and don't go out, just let others do what you have at hand." ”

"What's wrong?" Applejack was a little confused.

"You listen to me." Li Ziping waved his hand, and didn't want to say more, after all, he couldn't say more, it was impossible to say that I looked at your short-lived face and was afraid that you would be killed by that evil ghost when you went out, right?

When Li Ziping came just now, he took a yellow cloth, rolled it up and kept it in his hand, but at this time, I saw him vacate a place, spread out the yellow cloth in his hand, and spread it on the ground.

After laying it, he said, "Kill this black dog, and put the blood in this iron basin." ”

"Okay." The third uncle nodded in response, and asked the dog to lead the dog to kill, at this time he listened to Li Ziping wholeheartedly, hoping to learn something. He once heard his master say that a sorcerer or Taoist priest usually needs three materials to draw talismans, one is cinnabar plus his own blood, the second is chicken blood, and the third is black dog blood. The effect of the spell drawn by these three materials is also different, and now this black dog blood drawing talisman is the first time he has seen it in his life. On weekdays, the most common thing to see is cinnabar and the blood of the person who draws the talisman, so that the spell drawn is connected with his own flesh and blood and has a certain spirituality.

The black dog seemed to have the spirit to understand what everyone was saying, and froze there, refusing to leave.

Li Ziping glanced at it, walked to the black dog, squatted down, and said: "Brother dog, I count you as having ten years of dog life to live, and now if you help the Li family survive this catastrophe, I approve your soul only need to stay in the Nine Shadows for a year, and then you can be reincarnated and become a human in the next life." ”

As soon as Li Ziping finished speaking, the dog seemed to understand, whimpered, and followed the dog killer.

Everyone looked at this scene and admired it in their hearts.

"Superior." The third uncle couldn't help but sigh.

Lao Li asked, "What do you know?" ”

The third uncle said: "My master told me that a life magician or Taoist priest who has cultivated to a certain level will be able to achieve it as long as he approves words for lonely souls, wild ghosts, birds, birds, and beasts. ”

It is said that if a powerful sorcerer or Taoist priest promises to let birds and beasts or lonely ghosts cast into a good family in the next life, then his words will definitely come true, but this often also sacrifices their own yang longevity in exchange. Li Ziping had obviously reached that realm, otherwise this black dog would not have listened to him.

After a while, a basin of black dog blood was served. Li Ziping asked someone to take a brush, dipped it in black dog blood, and began to paint on the yellow cloth. I saw him take a deep breath and put down his pen like a cloud, without a break in between. Everywhere the stroke went, every stroke seemed to have spirituality, containing divine power.

The third uncle saw it in his eyes and was secretly surprised. As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway. Li Ziping's skill in drawing talismans, the third uncle asked himself that he would not be able to achieve it if he practiced for another ten years. I heard his master say that the general sorcerer or Taoist priest will recite words in his mouth when drawing talismans or practices, and only with the corresponding spells drawn or cast spells can he have more powerful power. But there is another situation, that is, the numeric magicians and Taoist priests who are powerful enough to achieve the effect through silent recitation in their hearts. You must know that when people are reading things, even if the speed is fast, it takes time, but when it reaches the level of mind, it is different, whether it is drawing symbols or doing it, it can be done in one go, which greatly reduces the time.

In less than a moment, I saw that Li Ziping had finished drawing. I saw that as soon as he closed his pen, it was as if he had reached the source of flowing water at the top of a high mountain, which was natural. Looking at the talisman again, it was actually a nine-palace gossip compass diagram.

"What is this?" The third uncle was a little puzzled.

Li Ziping smiled slightly and said, "I didn't learn Taoism, and the talismans I painted were naturally different from Taoism. ”

The third uncle nodded, thoughtful.

Lao Li said: "How to use this charm? ”

Li Ziping said: "Dry it, after half an hour, when the black dog's blood is dry, hang this charm on the wooden door, which can block the evil ghost from entering." ”

When everyone heard this, they said "oh", as if the mouth was suddenly opened.

Li Ziping said to the four strong men: "You take these four jars of wine, take the incense, go out, go north, arrive at the entrance of the village, dig a small pit, open a jar of wine, sprinkle some next to the pit, seal the rest and bury it in the pit, cover it with soil, burn three sticks of incense and insert it on it, bury a jar of wine every other mile, until it is buried in the middle of the crossroads, and come back here to listen to my instructions." ”

The four strong men answered the call.

Ah Hei came up at this time and said, "Ziping, look at what I can help?" ”

Li Ziping said: "What time is it?" ”

Ah Hei was stunned, took out a clock from his arms, looked at it, and saw that the hour and minute hands were at a right angle of 90 degrees, exactly half past nine.

Li Ziping nodded, took out a bundle of red rope from the cloth bag he was carrying, and said, "You go and seal the road at the crossroads, except for the direction leading to the entrance of the village, tie red ropes in the other three directions, and the red ropes are up to the knees, so that the evil ghost has nowhere to run." ”

Hei nodded and took the red rope and pulled the short-lived ghost Applejack to do something. Li Ziping didn't notice all this.

After Li Ziping explained everything, he went to the house to burn three sticks of incense for Mr. Li, and then returned to the courtyard and waited quietly with the villagers.
