Chapter 18: The Dead Man's Head and the Headless Ghost 1
Xue Fei returned to the room in a daze (the sequelae of being controlled) and prepared to take a bath and sleep, the thing about the hanging ghost Xue Fei had a breath in her chest, she didn't feel right, and she couldn't say it, it was like watching a compressed movie, and she was at the end. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was taking a shower, he found that the skull mark on his body was gone.
"It was removed by the Fox! No wonder it feels so relaxed! Xue Fei was thoughtful, the skull mark was a curse, and it was naturally not too comfortable to put on her body. As for why it was removed? Xue Fei didn't know very well, but Xue Fei said that Xue Fei came here to practice his courage, because his uncle's relationship was settled in advance, and there was no need to stay, and Xue Fei didn't want to stay anymore. The landlord and his little brother came in by themselves, Xue Fei is a crooked way, and she still cares about her safety, so it's better to get out. Now I know that Xue Fei knows what she meant by getting out of the way at the time. In addition, Uncle he can't remove the mark because it's too troublesome, and he doesn't care if he stays fine.
Xue Fei slept very peacefully this night, her recent life is really quite irregular, she slept during the day yesterday, and she didn't sleep all day today, and she happened to change back now.
The next Xue Fei decided to solve the matter of the dead man's head and the headless ghost, Xue Fei thought it was just a good fit at first, but she didn't expect that the two were going to find the half-body or really the same place. A place called the Association of the Disabled, also called the Remnant Village, the Remnant Building, the Remnant Inn, no matter what it is called, the word Remnant has never changed, but in modern times, it has become a name, not to mention the name is not good. The ghosts in this place are all mutilated ghosts, missing half of their bodies and the like, and this is set up by the underworld, and they appear in various places at midnight on the full moon night of each month, so that the ghosts who have lost their bodies can regain their limbs. If it's just these less important parts of broken hands and feet, the ghost doctor of the underworld can repair it directly, but the head and body are impossible, if you can't find it, then you can only recover it yourself in the next life, and be a disabled person for a lifetime, and the next life without a head will be a fool, and you will be paralyzed without a body.
The Association of the Disabled is the name of the prefecture, and the people of the Yang World do not know what the Association of the Disabled is, they know about the haunted house, and they often hear that where the haunted place is actually the association appeared, overlapping with the local houses. The location of the guild is determined by the position of their half-body, and they will only appear from zero hour to six o'clock in the morning, which is six hours, which is why some people say that they are haunted and that nothing will happen when the others go back. Of course, not all haunted houses are related to the association, and some unjust ghosts will become haunted houses, but these will soon be lifted by Taoist priests, onmyoji, monks or something.
It's already late this month, so we can only wait for the fifteenth of next month. Xue Fei calculated the time, there was still a long time, Xue Fei decided to practice a few spells in the entry, and Xue Fei didn't receive the stimulation in the underworld. It's not that he has become very hungry for power, but after seeing hell with his own eyes, and those ghosts rarely see a living soul coming to the underworld, they keep chatting with Xue Fei to tell the story of the Taoist priest getting rid of ghosts, which makes Xue Fei feel that he should work hard, although he is not a man, he also has a heroic dream!
The next day, Xue Fei took out a few spells in the book that could be used to learn. Please magic has already been known, and this invitation is also a ghost from the underworld, so it is of little use. Breathing and breathing is a simple way to run the body's spiritual power, and if you practice it well, it will become mana, and this will be. However, Xue Fei can't breathe according to the breath at all times, and usually changes back to the original state when she doesn't pay attention to her breathing, so she has to practice it well. The others are some common and practical charms, and what one is best at is a variety of talismans, so there are more talismans, peace charms, good luck charms, town house charms, talismans, wealth charms and the like.
In the past, drawing talismans was a very serious matter, not equivalent to child's play, to put incense on the case, incense, please God (just inform God to use his power), in advance to cleanse the body, and clean hands, clean mouth, clean pen, paper, ink inkstone, after praying, take the pen and wave, spray the water, and then pray, and then bow, send God, all of which are indispensable. Moreover, the supplies required for drawing talismans, such as paper, ink, pen, inkstone, water, etc., must be recited as mantras, and the pen must be taken to take the pen mantra, and the pen must be penned to death. But now there are none of these, now you just need to calm down, write your spell in one go, and write your spell clearly. In the past, it was a ghost drawing talisman, and the ghost couldn't understand it, but now a foreigner can also understand it, like Uncle Xuefei's carrying talisman before, the things on it Xue Fei seem to understand or not, if it was the previous Xue Fei, she couldn't even seem to understand it.
But no matter how simple it is, it is a trouble for Xue Fei, she can't write with a brush, no matter how simple it is, these devices can't be changed. Now Xue Fei had no choice but to start practicing calligraphy first. When Xue Fei opened the door and was about to go downstairs, he saw a person staying in front of him, his head was relatively large, round, chubby, a woman's head, his neck was also very thin, and his figure was also good.
"Why do I feel so incongruous?" Xue Fei looked at the person in front of her strangely, and then noticed that there was a gap between the head and neck. "Oh! You are dead heads and headless ghosts! ”
"That's us." The answer was a dead man's head, and the headless ghost could not speak, but the ghost and the ghost had their own way of communicating.
"What are you doing here?!"
"We heard from Daoist Xu that he taught you about helping us find our bodies, so let's ask."
"Come in first!" Xue Fei let them in first, "Jiang Guomin!" ”
"In!"
"Tell them about the situation." Jiang Guomin is quite smart, and Xue Fei let him be by his side as a reference, so he also knows things.
Xue Fei came down to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and when she came back, the dead man's head and the headless ghost had already separated, and Jiang Guomin made an OK gesture.
"Actually, I think you can go to the underworld by yourself, and the underworld will help you find your body."
"Hey! We went there and were assigned here. "Dead heads flutter all over the room.
“。。。。。” Xue Fei was speechless.
"Ahh The dead man's head flew red to the table and did not move. Xue Fei looked at it, it was from their room in the dead house, Xue Fei had gone in, and at that time they were playing a game that everyone knew, and it was estimated that the dead head had also seen it.
Xue Fei didn't care about them, took out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and regular script calligraphy and wanted to practice calligraphy, but she didn't know how to start at all. Xue Fei bought a full set, not ready-made ink, and dizzy with a brush.
The headless ghost came over, took out the ink strip and inkstone, put water and grinded it for a while, and then stopped moving. Xue Fei was stunned for a moment, then took the inkstone and began to grind, rubbing it like an eraser.
"Place your index finger on the top of the ink and your thumb and middle finger on either side of the ink strip. Can't use force? You don't need to push too hard. Be light when grinding, and slightly heavier when pressing. Grinding ink should be slow, the force should be even, and the inkstone should be circled vertically, not obliquely grinding or pushing directly. The dead man's voice suddenly spoke, "There is also water for grinding ink, it is better to have less than more, and to grind it thicker, add water and grind it thicker." There is also the need to grind the ink with water. The ink should be moderately polished, not too thick or too light. Don't look at me, I won't, he said. ”
"Thank you!" Xue Fei thanked him. Continue to grind, the force can not be heavy, the grinding is very slow.
"This is a thank you for your help, you're welcome."
Half an hour later.
"It takes a long time to grind ink, so it's better if you can grind it with both hands."
"Oh!" Xue Fei answered and changed hands. After tossing for a long time, it was finally grinded. Then he was knocked out by the headless ghost.
"Unqualified!" The dead man's head left and spoke.
"I don't need to translate that." Xue Fei's left and right hands are swapped, it is strange that she can grind it well, and she grinds it for an hour, which is probably too long.
One afternoon, Xue Fei practiced grinding ink, probably considering that Xue Fei was not talented, and then the headless ghost taught Xue Fei by hand. This is also the relationship between Xuefei is not Chinese, who is still grinding ink now! Serve directly in the pavilion.
The headless ghost was a teacher in front of him, and now he sees that Xue Fei may have been released from an occupational illness, although he has less memory of being headless, but he still remembers calligraphy and everything. In the next few days, Xue Fei has been practicing ink grinding, and the results are still good, and Xue Fei is basically no problem grinding now.
Just when Xue Fei decided that she could start practicing writing on her own, it turned out to be sitting and holding a pen. This is bitter Xuefei, Xuefei is lying on her stomach, and her back is not very straight, this has become a habit, and now it has to be corrected.
'It's really tiring to sit up straight' Xue Fei looked at picking up the ring ruler, and the headless ghost with the teacher's aura collapsed did not dare to resist.
The hands are more tired, and the posture of holding the pen is okay, but the wrist hanging is the wrist hanging, and the elbow is off the table, which is very tiring. Of course, there is also the relaxed pillow wrist, which is a relaxed way to put the back of the left palm flat under the right wrist. However, the headless ghost felt that Xue Fei had a lot of vices, so he went straight to trouble.
Another five days passed. Xue Fei only began to practice calligraphy, and practiced in water, the reason is too simple, it is impossible for beginners to write too small, and it is too wasteful to write directly. This kind of behavior is headless and ghostly, but it is written in water, or written in the newspaper, and it can be dried.
It was another five days before Xue Fei began to grind and write, of course, she was not a genius, she could barely read what she wrote. The headless ghost didn't let Xue Fei practice according to the book, but some eternal characters. This is the eight strokes of the word "Yong", which basically writes the strokes commonly used in Chinese calligraphy, and can basically write any character after practice.
Finally, it is May 19th, that is, the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the full moon day of each month. Xue Fei has practiced almost, at least she can see it, as for calligraphy or something, forget it!
"Let's go find your body!" Shepheld was excited, excited in every way.
