Chapter 9 Each has its own grievances
The city of Shanghai is full of legends, whether it is the drunken gold fans of the old Shanghai Tang or the current bustling gathering, it is a major financial and economic center in China. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and Shanghai is most talked about for its title of "Magic Capital".
"I hope there won't be too much trouble this time!" Wang Modao couldn't stop chattering before leaving, and I asked a little puzzled: "What's the matter, you seem to have a prejudice against demons?" He smiled and asked, "Then why do you think it's called the Demon Capital?" "I was a little proud to talk about the Japanese writer Kazumi Muramatsu, who once wrote a book about Shanghai in the thirties, called "The Magic City".
Wang Modao smiled and said that that is not necessarily true, you must know that there are four magic capitals in the world: London, Shanghai, Tokyo, New York, and a little related, you can see that these four were the most characteristic capitalist cities of the year, so the general official statement refers to this.
"It's just that, now the magic capital is basically referring to Shanghai, and the true meaning of this is circulated in the feng shui circle, which involves the suppression of a certain monster and evil thing, and the specific can be talked to you for a day, so I'll talk nonsense with you. Let me tell you a consensus in the Buddhist and Taoist circles, you also know that Shanghai has a huge flow of people, and as an international metropolis, the material desires are rampant, and the relative air pollution is also heavy and the smoke and dust are extremely thick, it stands to reason that there should not be aura, but there is an extremely rich and pure aura here, and it is obviously deliberately condensed by someone! β
At this point, he stopped, and I asked with some curiosity: "Hey, don't stop, continue to talk about why?" Wang Modao just looked ahead, shook his fingers, and said vigorously, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." I looked at his old god there, so I simply got on the bus and closed my eyes and found a comfortable position to doze off.
After a moment of confusion we arrived in Shanghai, stretched out our hands to stop a taxi, and came to the address Julie had copied to us. This is a very ordinary residential area, the appearance looks quite clean, there are a few old people practicing Tai Chi sword in front of the small garden not far away, Wang Modao looked up and muttered: "Hmm." The tenth floor, it's not too high, the question is how we got in quietly, I knew we should have asked your classmate for a key or something. β
I took out the string of keys and shook it and said, "I've thought of it a long time ago, Julie gave it to me before I left last night, let's go up and have a look first?" It is said that her ex-husband has long since moved out and can't live here, so we can take a good look at it with confidence. Wang Modao nodded, looked around again, and then the two of us walked into the elevator.
After opening the door and entering, I felt the wind blowing, and when I stepped into the middle of the living room, I saw that the windows on the balcony were open, and the curtains danced with the wind from time to time.
Then we began to look closely around the room, and the more we looked at him, the more frowning his brow became. After looking around, he sighed deeply, and then began to count: "This room is seriously broken feng shui, no wonder something happens!" What is your most direct feeling after reading it, do you think that there are a lot of mirrors and various calligraphy and paintings in this room? I nodded and continued listening.
"Too many mirrors will disturb the magnetic field, although it seems to be much more spacious and brighter when it looks like this, but it is indeed a big taboo in Feng Shui; Also, it's just a little bit of calligraphy and painting celebrity portraits, but here one is mostly oil paintings, followed by celebrity portraits, and it's best not to hang them in the place where you live, after all, it's not like the school where there is enough flowing yang to suppress it, and the so-called thing will be the opposite, and the original holy celebrity portrait will become a thing that gathers yin. Wang Modao pointed to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Then he pointed to the toilet at the end of the corridor and said, "Also, this bathroom is actually placed at the end of the passage, and it is facing the door, which is also a great taboo in Feng Shui." Then he pointed to a few more doors and said, "And these doors actually open in the same direction, which is called Chong Chong in Feng Shui!" β
In the end, he stood directly at the door of the master bedroom and said: "This is the key to Fan Daban, you see that there are many mirrors in this room, and in this bedroom, there is not only a mirror embedded in the wall at the end of the bed, but also a row of large wardrobes with mirrors on this side of the bed, the most taboo is that in order to pursue the so-called romantic feeling, the carving is also added to the head of the bed, which is embedded with three makeup mirrors, which is called the evil mirror in feng shui, I know that there is a horror story called Mo comb your hair in the middle of the night, which is the outflow version of this taboo." β
"Then according to what you said so many taboos, how can it be lived, the developer's conscience is really black enough!" I said with some indignation. "You're wrong, I guess this place was originally inhabitable, but it was artificially arranged as a yin house! But," he pauses in the middle of his sentence, then points to the closet next to the bed.
The two of us quickly got inside, the wardrobe was not full, and it was mostly women's clothes, we carefully pushed the clothes out of the way, and avoided the shoes underneath, and the cat was half-crouched at the waist. Wang Modao opened the slit slightly, half-stretched his head and looked out.
Soon a man's voice came in: "Master, the method you gave is really spiritual, but my wife really hallucinated after putting some mirrors and oil paintings, and really thought that I was still living with her, but how did she say that I was abusing her, could it be that it was a ghost?" The man's voice eventually stopped in the living room.
Then a slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Have you confirmed that the doors and windows have not been moved?" After getting the man's affirmative reply, the voice said: "Actually, these are the common sense of feng shui, fortunately, your wife is too serious about studying, and she hasn't studied those miscellaneous studies, otherwise how can you say that the more undergraduate graduate students are, the easier it is to deceive, you are like the one in front of you It didn't take a lot of effort to set the birth date, so in the future, I will look for this kind of highly educated, okay, hurry up and arrange your wife to come back tomorrow, it is estimated that this time it will be a week at most, she will definitely have an accident, and you will still pretend to take care of the old rules regardless of the previous suspicions, I'll spell you a spell and let her give you all her possessions! β
The man hurriedly replied: "Okay, we are also old partners for almost ten years, and the rest of this is not easy, you go to arrange it first, and I will go to bed and lie down." The hoarse voice added: "Remember to cover the mirrors with a black cloth first, and turn around and brush the sheets, don't leave the horse's feet!" The man readily agreed, and soon went to the bedroom, tossed around, and then yawned, and after a while, he began to snore.
Wang Modao carefully went out, I looked through the crack in the door, only to see that he carefully took off the three black cloths at the head of the bed, and then carefully stuffed a talisman into the man's cervical vertebrae, and then he carefully pasted a talisman on the heel of the man's feet, and after doing all this, he carefully returned to the closet, and waited patiently with me.
Time flowed quietly, and the hoarse voice outside sounded again: "Zhang Jiyong, Zhang Jiyong?" slept so dead, he was really timid, and he was not afraid that his wife would suddenly come back. Then a middle-aged man in a gray tunic flashed in, and he looked at the man on the bed with some suspicion.
When he walked into the bedroom, he saw the three mirrors revealed by the black cloth for the first time, and then he walked over a few steps to pick up the black cloth and prepare to cover it again, suddenly Zhang Jiyong on the bed opened his eyes, quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed his right hand, "Let go, what are you doing!" The middle-aged man yelled.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and quickly shook his arm to break free, who knew that Zhang Jiyong grabbed harder and harder, and he could see his nails slowly seeping into the hands of the man in the tunic suit, and drops of blood slowly slipped down.
"Made, who ordered the ghost puppetry, come out! Everyone is in the same door, and there is something to say! The man looked around in some panic. Wang Modao shook his hand at me, then walked out with a sneer: "I didn't expect to meet a fellow disciple who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it!" The man in the tunic saw Wang Modao clearly and said: "Little ghost, don't pretend to be a big clove of garlic, what about your master, let him come out and have everything to say!" β
Wang Modao said softly: "Why do you have to think that my master must come out?" The man in the tunic suddenly smiled: "Okay, since you think it's you, then we will follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, I will learn from the Lingxin mage, what about you, little ghost?" Wang Modao arched his hand and said, "Oh? Speaking of seniority, you are still my uncle's generation, but unfortunately you are not on the right path, why do you do these hurtful things? β
"Hahaha, I, Gong Jie, have been with the master for decades, but he said that I don't want to teach me, hmph, isn't it because I don't look good and I'm an abandoned baby, and then I secretly took a few books from the library to learn, but the master drove me down the mountain, and the other three who stole books together just thought about it, why?"
Gong Jie said that his eyes were aimed at Zhang Jiyong on the bed again: "I originally wanted to benefit the public, but my face was rejected by the world, and then I accidentally found that as long as I help those high-ranking officials and nobles bring good luck, I can make a fortune, so I specifically help people get rich and take a cut for themselves, and now I am living a prosperous life, and I also ask for a beautiful daughter-in-law, so why should I go back to see people's faces and take that little bit of money?" β
After speaking, he quickly raised his hand and slapped it on Zhang Jiyong's body, Wang Modao looked at it quietly, and then said coldly: "Don't bother, I didn't use your so-called ghost puppet technique, in fact, this Zhang Jiyong has long been a half-dead existence, I'm just using the soul restoration charm to restore him to his original appearance!" β
Hearing this, I quickly moved my gaze back to Zhang Jiyong, and saw that the person who was still alive and well now seemed to have lost a lot of weight as a deflated balloon, which truly interpreted what it means to be skinny and bone, and the hair on his head gradually dried up and fell off, and the clothes he wore became similar to a shroud, and then a smell like carrion gradually spread.
"It seems that I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to know how to return the spirit, presumably you should be a master of the new generation of Taoism. Originally, I thought that I could lead a protΓ©gΓ© of a master to be a puppet, but I didn't expect to directly attract a big fish over! Gong Jie suddenly laughed, then he folded his hands in front of his chest and made a few quick gestures, and then the shadow behind him slowly stood up.
The corners of Wang Modao's mouth flashed with a light smile, as if watching a play, his hands were clasped around his chest, and Gong Jie seemed to be a little surprised: "Huh? can still be so calm and relaxed, I really don't know if you are a daring artist or a fearless person who doesn't know, and it will be seen how you continue to be leisurely. β
The shadow quickly turned into a human form, this is a slightly older old man, with a white beard and white hair, and strange tattoos on the bare skin on his body, very similar to the kind of writing on the oracle bone inscription, at first glance, not to mention the immortal Dao bones can also be called a slightly dusty breath, to say that such an old man is an evil person I really don't believe it.
"What a Psychic Mage, or a former Psychic Master! Now that you've lost your human taste, you should have completely digested that soul, if it weren't for the shackles of your body, you would have jumped out to do evil and cause trouble in the world, am I right? Wang Modao said calmly, a strange light flashing between his eyes.
"I didn't expect that there are people in the younger generation who can practice Dao Eye, since you can see through it, then I won't pretend, alas, you said that you Hongchen guests occupy the vast world but engage in a miasma, and you also kill all of us who were originally dedicated to cultivation!" The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and at the same time, his face slowly turned into a cat face, and a cat tail gradually stretched out behind him.
Wang Modao still said calmly: "There are spirits in the grass and trees, there is love in the world, we don't really want to stop or even kill you demon spirits who are dedicated to the Tao, but we will not be too investigated if we kill us by mistake occasionally, but we will be severely punished if we kill innocents indiscriminately and recklessly." β
"Hmph, what a sentence: grass and trees have spirits, and there is love in the world! You really don't blush at all. Did you think about our feelings when you wantonly slaughtered us, are we destined to be slaughtered by you and not be able to resist? In one of your words, only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps! A palpable resentment and anger rose on the cat's face.
"If the water is clear, there are no fish, and no one can guarantee what kind of intentions others have, but we can do our best and try not to become the scum of that kind of person." Wang Modao put down his hands and said. "Humph! You must look at the problem from the perspective of human beings, just like your so-called sages advocate non-killing, so I ask you, what is non-killing? It's okay not to eat meat, aren't those vegetarians killing the lives of vegetarian dishes? If you don't eat meat and vegetables, then you're not persecuting yourself, isn't this also killing? That's why you humans love duplicity! After the cat face finished speaking, he yelled at Gong Jie loudly: "Do it!" β
Gong Jie also shouted, and then the tattoos on the cat-faced man's body were slightly shiny and wandered all over his body, and then the two stood together and quickly transformed into a snow-white tiger, only a huge buffalo horn grew on his forehead and rushed straight to the sky. Underneath the tiger's face is a huge bull's body, and underneath it is a thick and powerful cow's leg.
"The most annoying thing is that you people look like you are partial and comprehensive, and you are not good at cultivating your mind to the Tao, you have to study the so-called shortcuts, and you still advocate strength. Hmph, vain thoughts! Saying that, Wang Modao took out the spirit rune and muttered to himself: "The so-called demonic body is just by gathering the surrounding aura, and then emboarizing a certain object that is respected or feared in the heart, and then filling the whole body with the aura of heaven and earth, so it looks like a paper tiger with a strong breath but is actually a paper tiger with a false appearance, and you can use the spirit exorcism talisman to hit its valve!" With that, he raised his hand and struck the monster in the throat.
"You're using us as a target?" The monster on the opposite side roared after a circle of apparent thinness. Wang Modao still unhurriedly took out another peachwood short sword and continued: "When the aura is weakened and the aura is disordered, look for an opportunity to pierce the evil spirit into its body to further consume the energy it has gathered. Then he quickly dodged the monster's horns and stabbed his sword into its chrysanthemum with a whirlwind, and a clearly visible air jet gushed out.
Then Wang Modao flashed to the side again, looked at the roaring monster in front of him and continued: "Remember, don't panic in everything, the so-called endless road, calm thinking can always find a turnaround, don't be controlled by your own panic or fear and other negative emotions." β
The monster on the opposite side opened his eyes angrily, and then raised his head to the sky and roared, and then turned into a white shadow and quickly pounced on Wang Modao, and Wang Modao no longer said anything and concentrated on fighting with the monster. At this time, I realized that his fist and foot kung fu is also extremely good, I always thought that he could only draw talismans, but I didn't expect that hand-to-hand combat was so outstanding.
The two fought for about half an hour, only to hear Wang Modao shouting: "You are finally here!" Then I saw a figure with a cloak slowly hanging out of the large mirror at the end of the bed, and a burst of oozing laughter surrounded the bedroom, and a group of gray figures faintly appeared around it.
"I didn't expect you to be on guard against me from just now, no wonder I saw you coming out of the wardrobe but couldn't penetrate in, if I guessed correctly, I should have put the spirit wood in the wardrobe!" The figure looked up suddenly, and suddenly a distorted woman's face that looked like it was about to melt appeared in front of me.
Wang Modao quickly grabbed the monster that was still roaring, and then slapped it on its heavenly spirit cover with a talisman painted with a thunderbolt symbol, and suddenly a clear bone cracking sound came, and then the monster's whole body appeared with fine cracks, Wang Modao exhaled lightly, and the monster quickly dissipated into the air like flying ashes.
"Okay, let's talk about when you started planning all this." Wang Modao clapped his hands and said to the woman in front of him.
"When will it start? I'm afraid I can't even remember the essence of my consciousness, but it's been a long time since I first became self-conscious, and I kept asking who I was. Where are you going? But I couldn't find the answer, I could only look at the people outside, looking at their beautiful faces! Although the woman spoke calmly, the resentment in her words was deeply rooted in my heart.
"I don't understand, it's just that across the line of mercury, the women on the other side have their own appearances, all of them are so beautiful, why am I so ugly at this end, so I don't accept it, I thought it was like the process of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, so I also waited patiently, but after such a long time, how many people outside the mirror have changed, I have always been this respect, why, I haven't done anything hurtful, why should I be treated like this?" The woman screamed and vented her resentment.
"Later, I think it's more than that, there must be something else that made you finally implement this plan, right?" Wang Modao said softly. The woman suddenly hid her face and laughed, and said in a particularly cold voice: "Yes, I originally thought that it would go on like this, until one day I got a turnaround!" Hahaha! β
