Chapter Twenty-Eight: Solving Gu with Talismans

The ghost monkey never gave up tracking us, but this maple forest was too big and lost our trace for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But it just so happened that a ghost monkey ran into us, but it knew that it was no match for the three of us. He wanted to go back and inform the other ghost monkeys, but he was afraid that we would run away, so he hesitated.

However, the ghost monkey is so clever that he finally came up with a solution.

Mandrills themselves can deceive people's vision, and they can also deceive people's minds. The ghost monkey is formed after the mandrill is succulated by a human, and knows the basic Gu technique.

So, the monkey disguised himself as an old woman, and he didn't know where to find the clothes and the stumps of those people. However, the ghost monkey didn't know how to speak human language, so he had to wait until dawn.

Such a simple trick deceived all three of us. Maybe it's really that we're too hungry, our resistance is declining, and we let our guard down at the temptation of a little food.

Now the most urgent thing is that the monk ate those rotting stumps and fell unconscious. Although I fed him some water, it didn't help, it didn't work at all.

Originally, it was still pinned on Chu Chu, but Chu Chu had no research on Gu techniques, and the only thing that could be determined was that the monk was placed under the Gu. Ouyang Chengrui was once planted with 'Fu Gu', and Chu Chu was able to temporarily suppress it, which was also to know the specific condition. Now we don't even know what Gu the monk has fallen into, so how to solve it.

"How did you see through the ghost monkey's tricks?" Chu Chu looked at me and asked.

I told her what had happened, and I didn't know why my chest suddenly became hot, like a fire. Now I remember that the fifth uncle once gave me two pieces of rune paper, which I put in the inner pocket of my clothes.

Could it all be because of these two pieces of rune paper?

I hurriedly took out the rune paper, and after Chu Chu saw it, he looked at the monk and sneered: "This Golden Dragon Dao person is not badly lucky, and now he should be saved." ”

"How do I use this rune paper?" I asked, in my opinion, it was just two ordinary pieces of paper, how could it really be that magical?

Chu Chu told me that in fact, it is very difficult to make rune paper, and it is not just a piece of yellow paper, and you can draw some charms on it. The real Taoist masters, they basically know how to make paper, because the rune paper has very high requirements for paper, and ordinary writing paper cannot meet the requirements at all.

After the rune paper is formed, it is necessary to soak in the potion for forty-nine days, depending on the purpose of the charm. Most of the potions are made by boiling and cooling many precious medicinal herbs, but each brewing process is complicated, and outsiders will not know unless they are taught by a famous teacher.

The rune paper made in this way is a good medicine in itself, usually placed on the body, not only can drive away evil and prevent demons, but also as an antidote when the situation is urgent, and it is drunk with water.

There are thousands of kinds of spells, and each Taoist priest has different mana, and the effect of the spell written is also different. Laymen don't understand, they are all called ghost drawings. In fact, this is a kind of Taoist writing technique, which evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, small seals, pictographs and other scripts, and finally formed a unique Taoist script.

In Taoism, people call it a talisman, which is extremely mysterious and important to Taoist priests, and it is a code to communicate with the gods and spirits. There is the emptiness in reality, the existence in the air, and the characteristics of the image in the middle. There is a saying in Taoism: If you don't know how to draw a talisman, you will make the ghosts laugh, and if you know how to draw a talisman, you will be shocked by the ghosts and gods. It can be seen that the importance of drawing talismans and charms for Taoist priests.

When drawing talismans, you can't use ordinary ink, but cinnabar blood ink that the Taoist priest mixes himself. With cinnabar, a pure yang thing of heaven and earth, as the basic raw material, various Chinese medicinal materials can be added, and even poisons can be dried and ground into medicinal powder. At critical moments, it can be used to add yang blood such as chicken blood, dog blood and human blood, and it can also add yin heavy liquids such as cow tears and rootless water.

In short, according to what Chu Chu said, I probably understood that drawing a talisman is not as simple as I imagined. This is like configuring a pair of Chinese medicine and prescribing different prescriptions for different conditions.

Chu Chu obviously only preliminarily involved the art of talismans, and no matter how advanced she was, she didn't know it, so she could only popularize some basic theories of drawing talismans to me.

"Then can I really save the monk with this talisman?" I looked at the two rune papers in my hand, handed them to Chu Chu, and asked, "Which one is suitable?" ”

"This is an exorcism talisman, and it is more than enough to treat this Golden Dragon Dao person, what a good talisman is wasted." Chu Chu picked up one of the rune papers and asked me to keep the other one.

It's just that in Chu Chu's opinion, the monk's life is less than a piece of rune paper. Fortunately, the monk is unconscious now, if he hears Chu Chu's words, I don't know if the two will fight.

Chu Chu asked me to pour a bowl of water, she pinched the rune paper lightly with two fingers, and the spell in her mouth was said quickly, I only heard the last 'urgent as a law', Chu Chu shook his hand, and the rune paper actually emitted a green flame, and the whole rune paper burned quickly.

"Wow..." I was stunned by Chu Chu's hand, and looked at Chu Chu with admiration: "Why are you so powerful, this rune paper actually burns automatically." ”

Chu Chu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that I'm powerful, but this rune paper is powerful." The rune paper is composed of three parts: the rune head, the rune gall and the rune foot, and you look at the position of the rune head of your other rune paper. ”

After Chu Chu waited for the rune paper in his hand to burn, he quickly put it into the bowl and swiped his hand gently. The water in the bowl slowly turned dark green, emitting a burst of medicinal fragrance, and even I couldn't help but roll in my throat.

I hurriedly took out the last piece of rune paper, looked at the rune head, and Chu Chu said: "In the position of this rune head, there is a small amount of white phosphorus, you should know why the rune paper burns!" But it's something I usually think about with nothing. ”

There are very few rune papers that can burn on their own, and because of the difficulty of making, many Taoist priests will not make them. This is only possible when some extremely important mantras are necessary. Therefore, few people will meet this kind of rune paper.

The addition of white phosphorus also made me suddenly realize that such a simple truth, of course, I can understand, and at the same time, I have to admire those predecessors of Taoism for having such wisdom.

I put away the talisman paper, picked up the monk, and prepared to feed him the talisman water. As soon as he took a sip, the monk vomited frantically, almost emptying his stomach. Seeing that his face had improved, I was overjoyed and continued to feed him until a bowl of rune water was completely drained.

I didn't expect this rune paper to be so effective, it didn't take much effort, the monk woke up and turned around, and sat on the ground without strength. Depressed and devoid of energy, I initially thought it was just a sequelae. Who knew that the monk was hungry and had no strength, and he was uncomfortable.

But now where are we looking for something for him to eat, Chu Chu and I gave him all the remaining water, if it weren't for the fact that he is now a patient, Chu Chu wouldn't have paid attention to it at all, even so, Chu Chu seemed reluctant.

"It's really unbelievable, Dao Ye almost lost his life by this little trick, it's really embarrassing to say it." The monk tightened his belt hungrily and sat on the side and sighed.

"Why, at least you're still having a full meal, and I don't know how the chicken thighs taste!" I said jokingly.

When the monk heard this, he began to retch again, leaned on the trunk of the tree after half a sound, looked at me in prostration, and said, "I said scholar, you did it on purpose, which pot is not opened." ”

Seeing the monk like this, I didn't have the heart to play tricks on him anymore. And although the monk has improved, there is no danger depending on the situation. But the problem is that we still haven't gotten out of this maple forest, and if we can't think of a way, we'll really starve to death here.

The worst thing is that our whereabouts have been discovered by the ghost monkeys, if we wait for the ghost monkey army to rush over, with our current physical condition, let alone compete with the ghost monkeys, we don't even have the strength to escape.

"According to Daoye's meaning, it is to burn this ghost forest with a fire, and it will be burned clean, and there will be no end in sight. Without these maple trees, wouldn't we be able to get out? "The monk told us not to bother, just do it, simply and directly.

But it's a bit violent.

We certainly wouldn't agree that the fire, together with the fire, is in the forest, is not controlled at all, and it spreads quickly. When the time comes, if we can't find a way out, we'll have to be trapped in the fire. At that time, it was really said that the heavens should not be called to the earth, and the monk could think of such a way to die.

"I said Miss, don't be silent, just say what you can. Three stinkers, Zhuge Liang, I still don't believe that a King Nammer who has been dead for two or three hundred years can still trap us to death. Seeing that Chu Chu had not spoken, the monk urged impatiently, then covered his stomach, moaned in pain, waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Dao Ye's hungry chest is close to his back, and he can't waste his strength by talking anymore." ”

Chu Chu thought for a while before he muttered: "We should have fallen into the formation set up by King Nammer, if we want to get out, we must unravel this formation." ”

"What formation?" I asked hurriedly.

Chu Chu calmly spit out a few words: "Nine Palace Bagua Array." ”
