Chapter 018: Broken Bowl

I stood aside, staring at the incense head from a distance and asked the little black fat man, "Eh, what is the Ninth Master doing?" ”

The little black fat man's cousin was similar to me, sitting in the grass on the side and lighting a cigarette for himself, taking a deep breath, and then pursed his lips and said faintly: "I really don't know this, it should be sacrificing something." ”

"Are you sure?" Looking at him with distrust, I said.

"Nonsense, if I can be sure, I'm still here to talk to you." The little black fat man said, and Lala Collar added: "Before, he has done similar things, but this is the first time I have seen him in this kind of place, and I saw his small bag, which contained either grave soil or incense ashes from the temple, and the figure under his feet, every time the figure was different, I think it was a symbol of some kind of ceremony." ”

"Oh"

Listening to him say this, this kind of speculation is quite reliable, when I walked over, the ninth master had finished worshipping, at this time he took out a flower bowl with a blue edge in the big travel pocket, it looked very plain, but also quite shabby, he looked around the pottery bowl, and used a saber to knock out a gap at the mouth of the bowl, looked left and again, nodded and seemed to be very satisfied.

Then the old fellow used wax oil to fix a small half-cut candle more than two fingers thick in the bowl.

The clay bowl with a white candle was placed in the water, floating right on the surface of the water.

When the sky was a little dark, the ninth master asked me to take the little flower pig over, the little flower pig was very thin, but he was in good spirits, and he ran around happily as if he had gained some big bargain.

Watching the Ninth Master take out the saber with a deep blood groove, I had a sense of foreboding, and in the limited contact with their profession, the bloodletting plot left the deepest impression on me. Taoist priests who catch ghosts love to use blood the most, and those who kill chickens and dogs are all caught a lot, and it is not uncommon to bite their fingers to let blood.

Seeing me, the ninth master frowned, smiled honestly, and ordered me to hold the little pig and cut the little pig's ear with a knife.

But Jin Jiuye is a veteran after all, and at the first time, he took the small bowl with candles as if he had been prepared.

In just three or five seconds, the bubbled pig's blood covered the entire bottom of the bowl.

"That's it?" Seeing that he was holding the pig's blood that was not even in a wine cup and turned around to leave, I hurriedly asked.

"What do you think?" When the ninth master heard this, he asked rhetorically.

"Are you sure that's enough?" With palpitations, I asked again.

Seeing me like this, the ninth master smiled, and then took the pottery bowl and said to me: "There is not much blood, just have the material, what age is this, do you think we still cut their throats for a little chicken blood and dog blood like before?" Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. ”

After speaking, he habitually shook his head again.

"Damn, what should I do about this?" I asked, flicking the rope in my hand.

"Let it go." As he spoke, he walked to the river without looking back.

Following his instructions, I untied the rope of the little pig, and the little black fat man looked at its distant back and said that it was a pity, while muttering that it was still very good to roast the pig or something, and at the same time cleaned up the battlefield very neatly.

At this time, Jin Jiuye was not idle, he put the pottery bowl and white candle with pig's blood by the river, and then interlaced his hands to form a very complex "handprint", when I saw the "handprint", I remembered a very popular cartoon at the time, but Jin Jiuye's handprint is far more complicated than the one in it.

At the same time as the seal was sealed, he kept staring at the pottery bowl floating on the water, and after about three slow steps, his five fingers were already tangled together in a staggering layer, and almost at the same time, the pottery bowl floating on the water began to slowly turn.

At first, the speed of rotation was very slow, but as time went by, the rotation speed of the porcelain bowl was increasing dramatically, and just when a small whirlpool was about to form on the water surface, Jin Jiuye's fat body shook suddenly, and at the same time, the white candle that rotated itself "poofed" and "burned"!

It was almost dark, and the pale yellow candlelight was very dazzling in the night, so I stood beside him, so I could see the process clearly.

The moment the fire appeared, he almost fell to the ground, from beginning to end, no part of Jin Jiuye's body touched the candle, but the pottery bowl holding the candle just flew and spun like that, and it spontaneously combusted like "drilling wood for fire"!

Oh my God, how did this happen?

Seeing the spinning pottery bowl floating into the water, inexplicable fear rose from the bottom of my heart, and when I looked at Jin Jiuye, an indescribable powerful aura immediately shocked me, I used to think that this person was very awesome, but now I feel that this person is simply awesome to the sky, what kind of person is this special place, God!

"Don't look at it, let's go."

At this moment, the little black fat man came from behind, he held two big sticks that were often used in fights when he was a child, one was handed to me, and one was held in his hand, we followed the pottery bowl that moved slowly on the water surface all the way down, and soon entered the pond from the river, on this way, the three people did not say a word, the distance between the pottery bowl and us was constantly increasing, until the light on the pottery bowl suddenly disappeared and we stopped and stood still.

"This is it." The Ninth Master stared at the surface of the water and said to us in a low voice.

"What are we going to do?" Squatting in the grass, the little black fat man asked him.

"Don't worry about anything, wait for him to come out." Jin Jiuye said, untied the rope that was exactly the same as mine at his waist, pulled a noose in his hand and threw it out, and quickly threw a glowing object similar to a flashlight into the trap.

I looked at the thing that was smaller than a potato and was speechless for a while, this is so special, is it also called a trap?

"You two, who is more daring?" At this time, Jin Jiuye, who was tinkering with the rope there, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Xiaopang and I were both stunned, and then pointed at each other with great tacit understanding, "He." ”

Seeing this, Jin Jiuye was speechless at the time, and then patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "Lu Li, you go first, stand in that circle and put the rope on your feet." Jin Jiuye said, pointing to his trap and saying to me.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Seeing that I didn't move, he said again.

Five minutes later, I sat like a monkey on a big rock by the river, looking at the water covered by lotus leaves with a little sadness, and silently greeting the fat thief's family in the bottom of my heart.
