Chapter 15: Buffa
Daoist Xuanqing closed his eyes tightly, and there were words in his mouth. At this time, I saw him take out a few pieces of yellow paper, take the yellow paper in his left hand and stick it to the top of the incense and shake it. I thought that the yellow paper must have been burned, but when I looked closely, the same red charm appeared on those yellow papers.
"The doll has put away the charm, do not use this charm to catch ghosts, and must not touch the water, if the water charm fades, it will lose the effect of catching ghosts." The Taoist handed me the charm, then pulled something out of the backpack behind him.
I carefully put away the charm.
Then the Taoist chief burned a whole stick of incense and circled the hall. Before he could finish the room, the incense pillar burned down. The Taoist chief picked up the incense ash in his hand and applied it to his body and face.
"Dao Chief, is the incense ash an exorcist?" The ash was still bubbling with unburned sparks, which made me very different.
"The incense ash can remove the odor from my body and lower the vigilance of evil spirits." After speaking, the Taoist chief actually grabbed a handful of incense ashes and ate it.
"Doll, go and get a big rooster from your house, and I'm getting a big bowl." I took it in a few moments.
I saw that the Taoist chief grabbed the rooster and gently flicked the rooster's head with his fingers, and the rooster was dead, and blood flowed out of his mouth just like the big bowl. The Taoist took out the ink and poured it into the large bowl. I didn't understand a word of the mantra. Then the Taoist took out a small black box, black and black, it was an ink fountain. Pour the chicken blood and ink into the ink fountain.
"Doll, come and help me pull the string!" The Taoist took the ink fountain and I held the thread, and he skillfully pulled up the ink line and then released it and flicked it down, and an ink line was formed on the ground.
"Dao Chief, what's the use of this ink line?" I really can't figure out how this goofy thing can be used to catch ghosts.
"Here is the blood of the rooster and the blood of the black dog, both of which are pure yang things, and the ink is black to cover the color of the blood, the ghost can't see the ink line, and when the ghost hits it, it will be painful, and we can control the ghost." I suddenly remembered a book I had read my second uncle before, and it seemed that something similar had been written in it.
The Taoist chief and I took ink fountains and flicked ink lines on all the doors and windows to prevent the demons from escaping.
"Dao Chief, isn't it too easy to catch ghosts with ink lines?" I can't believe that ghosts can move and not die, so how can they not get out if they can get in?
"Good question, this is called one thing descending one thing, the ink line can control ghosts, but it can also be divided into ghosts, such as water ghosts. Water ghosts are also divided into **ghosts and yang water ghosts, **ghosts are not afraid of the ink line at all, but will slip away along the ink line. Because the water ghost ran away when it encountered the water, the ink line happened to be wet and had the opposite effect. ”
After playing the ink line, the Taoist took out the spell he had drawn earlier.
"If you encounter a demon ink line mana that is not enough, the ghost will run away, and you have to use the star lamp to deter the soul for insurance." As he spoke, the Taoist chief took out a charm, and there were words in his mouth, and after a while, he saw that the charm turned into a small lamp shape with seven corners. There were seventy-seven and forty-nine star lamps hanging on the windows in front of and behind the house.
Now that the Dao Master seemed to have done a good job of controlling the ghosts, the Dao Master took out a few chapters of rhubarb paper and took off his Dao robe.
"Doll, controlling the ghost is only the first step, catching the ghost is the goal, your second uncle is a good person, I can't kill him with a sword, I need something to save him." The Taoist chief's words reminded me that I must not hurt my second uncle when hunting ghosts.
The Taoist took out six huge pieces of yellow paper, each the size of a quilt.
"Bring the big bowl!" The Taoist took the bowl and dipped his fingers in the blood and ink on the yellow paper. After a while, red charms appeared on the painted large yellow papers. The Taoist chief stood up four pieces of paper and recited a mantra, and those pieces of paper stood up automatically, and the six pieces of paper were just made into a large paper coffin.
"Dao Chief, do you want to lead the second uncle into this coffin?" I think it's incredible, if the second uncle saw such a big coffin, he would definitely run away suspiciously.
"Silly boy, this coffin is for me, your second uncle's possessed ghost must be able to smell the smell of the born, I hide it so as not to be discovered by him, when the time comes, you lead him here, I can nail the ghost out with a stab of the sword."
Then the Taoist chief drew a few charms, and these charms were different from the previous ones, and the dragon and phoenix danced very beautifully.
"Doll, if you want to drive the ghost away from your second uncle, you have to make him hate your second uncle's body, I burned a bowl of spell water and you secretly let your second uncle drink it, as long as he drinks the spell water, he can be afraid of my spell and listen to my instructions." I hurriedly prepared the water, turned the charm and prepared it.
"There are also a few spells here for you to defend yourself, after your second uncle comes back, you will also stick to his back and suppress his mana, if the ghost's mana is not suppressed, he may penetrate your second uncle's body and slip away from behind when I drive him."
"Also, in a moment I will burrow into the paper coffin, and you cover me with a robe so as not to arouse his suspicions." After the Taoist chief finished speaking, he lay down, and I quickly covered him with his robe.
Then the Taoist took out a peachwood sword, this peachwood sword was black and shiny, and it looked like an ancient sword. The mahogany sword is covered with patterns, and a red rope is tied to the hilt, exuding a faint fragrance. The Dao Leader bit the middle finger of his right hand, dripped blood onto the peachwood sword, drew a Dao talisman, and brought it into the coffin together.
"It's not too early, your second uncle is almost back, hurry up and go out and tell your second mother and little sister about the things that need attention, so as not to make any mistakes, don't let your second uncle suspect that someone is coming." The Taoist chief said and lay in the coffin without moving.
I hurriedly ran out, but I saw Erniang and Xiaomei crying here, and their eyes were red.
"Erniang, little sister, don't be sad, the Taoist chief came here today to help us, and now the house has been almost decorated, and when my second uncle comes back, he can drive away the evil spirits." Erniang and Xiaomei saw that I was so confident, rubbed their eyes and stood at the gate.
"Xiao Yu, how are the preparations inside?" Erniang frowned.
"Erniang, don't worry, the Taoist chief is hiding in the paper coffin of the spell and waiting for the second uncle to come back, let's just lead the second uncle over, and let him drink a bowl of charm water before." I told Erniang and Xiaomei all the things that the Taoist chief told me.
Just after explaining to Erniang's little sister, he was waiting for the second uncle at the door, and just after half an hour, he saw the uncle and the second uncle coming over with a bag from a distance.
"Uncle He, you're back, how about everything going well and nothing happened, let's go to the house and rest." Erniang said a few polite words when she saw the uncle, but when she saw the second uncle, she seemed to be shocked, and she didn't even dare to look into his eyes.
The uncle rejected Erniang, and the second uncle was polite to him again, and within a few minutes, the uncle went back to his house.
"Well, did you eat this day? Tired or not? If you're not tired, go into the house. Erniang didn't know whether the second uncle was a human or a ghost at this moment, so she lowered her head and said.
I also stood next to me and echoed: "How much money did the second uncle make today, didn't the family give you anything to eat!" ”
It's okay not to speak, but the second uncle didn't answer us, obviously suspicious. Because in our village, the people who can see the white things to exorcise ghosts are at the same level as the great immortals, and they must make a big table of delicious food when they get there, and the money will not be less, at least three hundred and five hundred, if you meet a thousand yuan that is willing to spend some money, it is also a very common thing, and the countryside may be like this, and red and white ceremonies are very important. Erniang and I had nothing to say, which aroused the suspicion of the second uncle.
"Xiao Yu, is your stomach better? Do you have a bad stomach in the morning? I bought you medicine, remember to take it on time! "I took the medicine and felt a sour feeling in my heart, the second uncle is so good to me, but I will arrest him in a while, but how can I get rid of the evil ghost if I don't catch him.
"Thank you, second uncle, my stomach doesn't hurt so much, I don't know what I ate yesterday, I broke my stomach this morning, second uncle, are you tired, hurry up and rest." Saying that, I gave Erniang a color.
Erniang understood what I meant, and after entering the kitchen, she brought a bowl of steaming chicken soup, which was the spell soup prepared by Xuanqing Daoist for the second uncle.
Erniang was holding the soup, perhaps because of the weakness in her heart, the soup was not flattened and spilled. The second uncle frowned when he saw it, and felt that something was always wrong today. I saw the second uncle's suspicious look, and I became even more nervous.
"Dad, drink the soup, the big rooster soup just stewed in the pot is delicious, hot." The little sister looked at the second uncle with wide eyes.
"yes, his dad should drink it quickly." Erniang hurriedly echoed and said, Erniang's face became a little pale, and it was estimated that she must be very nervous.
The second uncle picked up the soup and sniffed it carefully, and opened his mouth to drink it, but before he could drink it, he suddenly glanced at us.
"Huh? Why don't you drink it? I'm drinking alone? If you don't drink, you won't drink, why are the three of you staring at me together? Is there something on my face? "After the second uncle asked, I chuckled in my heart, thinking that it was bad, if the second uncle didn't drink the spell soup, today would be our death date.
"His father, you are the most capable in our family, go out early in the morning to exorcise evil spirits, you are the only one at home to make money, Xiao Yu is sick again, you are the great hero of this family, of course you will drink first." Erniang pretended to be calm and picked up the spoon and wanted to feed the second uncle.
"Xiao Yu, have you helped your little sister study at home today? When you save up enough tuition, you will soon go to college, and you will have to teach her more at home these days. Although the second uncle felt a little strange, he didn't suspect it, maybe because he was thirsty, so he drank up the whole bowl of spell soup.
"Dangchang!" The big bowl that the second uncle had just finished drinking the soup fell to the ground. Erniang saw that the second uncle finished drinking the soup and hurriedly went out with the empty bowl, but she must have been too scared in her heart, she actually dropped the big bowl. Fragments of the bowl splattered to the ground.
The second uncle was shocked!
"What's going on with you three today? Suspicious? Am I doing something wrong? The second uncle glanced at a few of us again, and I had a ghost playing the drum in my heart speechless, so I could only stupidly accompany the smiling face and pretend to be nothing, and the little sister ran to her room in fear and hid.
Erniang hurriedly cleaned up the fragments of the bowl. The second uncle didn't look at him, and walked towards his house with a big stride. I hurriedly took out the prepared charm from my trouser pocket and gently pasted it on the back of my second uncle, but he didn't notice my every move.
