I saw that the cottage was very basic. It's even a few points worse than my house. I couldn't help but ask the little old man, "This, why are they all so dilapidated?" Isn't it a little more ornate to live? ”

The little old man smiled. said: "The place where the little ghost lives can't be too gorgeous. If you are too gorgeous, someone will come, and if you are too popular, the ghost will be uncomfortable. Therefore, we would rather be dirty, broken, and inaccessible so that we can shelter. ”

I said, "According to you, it's like a little ghost hiding from people." ”

The little old man said, "Yes, since ancient times, haven't ghosts all been hiding from people? There are only a few powerful ghosts who dare to make waves in the world. ”

After he said this, he said to Mr. Lu, "The smell of this place makes me very uncomfortable. I have brought you to me. You will do the rest, and I'll quit first. What do you think? ”

Mr. Lu nodded. said, "Go ahead." ”

After the little old man left, the three of us walked inside. There was no light in the room, but luckily we brought our own candles, took them out and lit them, and soon the inside of the house was lit up.

There was a lot of dust in the house, but there was no droppings from birds and beasts, and it seemed that even animals did not like this place.

I saw an altar in the house, and on it sat an image of a god. A layer of dust fell on the idol. I can't see it clearly.

And under the stone statue, there is a kneeling statue, looking at the dress of this statue, it is a Taoist priest.

I said, "It looks like this Taoist priest is worshipping God. ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "It's not worshipping God, it's more like apologizing." You don't need this posture to worship God. ”

Subsequently. He rubbed his sleeve against the statue's face. Soon, Mr. Lu's sleeves were dirty and he couldn't ask for them.

After wiping the statue's face clean, Mr. Lu pounced, knelt down, and shouted, "Master." ”

We were all taken aback: this statue is engraved with Mr. Lu's master?

I leaned over and looked, it was a somewhat old Taoist priest. But looking at his appearance, he should be a decent and loyal person, which is very different from Mr. Lu's slippery.

Xue Qian patted me on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhao, according to the seniority, he can be regarded as your ancestor, why don't you worship it?" ”

I sighed and said, "Kneel down and go back to the pre-liberation period." ”

To be honest, most of us young people have a university education, and we are somewhat resistant to kneeling. But the resistance was the conflict, and I still knelt down.

I was stacked face to face with the statue. It feels a little funny. It was as if the two of us were in a chapel.

I looked at the statue's face, and it was time to see that he was not looking straight ahead, but tilting his head slightly, looking at the statue behind us. And in his expression, there was no intention of asking for guilt, but a kind of resoluteness. That seems to say: I know I can't live up to you. But no matter what, that's what I'm going to do.

Mr. Lu apparently noticed the expression as well. He stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Let's see together which god my master worships." ”

We jumped over the altar and wiped the statue clean.

Then the two of us fell silent. It was not a god sitting on the altar, but Zhang Banxian. Zhang Banxian is also a statue, but the carving is lifelike, his face is a little scared, a little panicked, and a little resigned to fate. This kind of expression is definitely not what a god should have.

Mr. Lu stretched out his hand, touched Zhang Banxian's heart, and then said, "His soul is sealed inside the statue." It's the same as those prisoners outside. ”

I looked at Zhang Banxian, and in a trance I felt like I had returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. In the illusion, isn't Zhang Banxian sitting on the throne like this? It's just that in the fantasy world, he forgot the past, sometimes he was sanctimonious, sometimes funny, and he looked much better than now.

When I was looking at Zhang Banxian in a trance, Mr. Lu had already jumped down and checked the statue of his master. The conclusion is: there is no soul in this statue, just an ordinary statue.

I asked Mr. Lui, "Can we release their souls?" ”

Mr. Lu said uncertainly: "I don't know, maybe after they are released, they will be gone." I think it's better to wait until the master is rescued, and then he will preside over this matter. ”

I nodded and said, "We have to take the idols here." When you find your master, release all the trapped immortals. ”

Mr. Lu and I are discussing. Suddenly, I heard Xue Qian shouting, "His feet are tied." ”

When I looked back, I found that Zhang Banxian had an iron ring on his feet, and there was an iron chain on the iron ring, which led to somewhere, exactly like what we saw in the illusion.

Mr. Lu and I walked over and searched for it all the way through the chain. In the end, it was found that the iron chain was submerged in the offering platform.

We squatted behind the altar, hesitated for a moment, and then began to remove the bricks from the altar.

The bricks are glued together with yellow mud. As the years wore on, it was already extremely loose, and we shook it a little twice, and then we took off a dozen pieces. When I had cleared the bricks from the outside, I saw a large rock peeking out from the inside.

Xue Qian said: "It turns out that this offering platform is hewn out of a big stone. This stone is so beautiful, why do you want to cover it with a layer of green bricks? Isn't it too ugly? ”

Mr. Lu said: "This layer of green bricks is probably to hide something. Hand over the candle. ”

Mr. Lu held the candle, lit it for a while, and then said, "Here, there is a charm. ”

I glanced over there and was shocked, "It's the one in the illusion." ”

I saw that there was a shallow groove on the top of the stone, and this groove was staggered up and down, drawing the shape of a charm, which was clearly the one that Zhang Banxian showed me.

Mr. Lu instructed the two of us and said, "You guys go out first, in case the spell fails, I'm worried about hurting you." ”

Xue Qian looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I pointed to the shallow groove and said, "This spell is very powerful. If we fail, there will be a very powerful burst out, and Mr. Lu is afraid that he will not have confidence and is worried about hurting us. ”

Mr. Lu sat cross-legged on the ground, looking a little sad, and he said: "I will first bite my finger and apply blood in the trench, so that I will personally arrange a charm in this place...... Then I need to slowly draw the charms, but no matter how good my skills are, I can't erase the grooves in the stone with flesh, so I need tools to chisel out the grooves along the blood marks. Then, he looked at the iron chain that held Zhang Banxian.

He spoke to himself for a long time, then waved his hand at me and said, "You two go out." If I don't call you, don't come in. ”

Leaving now, there was some lack of righteousness, but the two of us staying here couldn't help much, so we didn't talk about it and went out directly.

The two of us stood at the door, listening carefully to the movement inside, at first, it was surprisingly quiet, and after a while, there was the sound of iron and stone rubbing, and it was estimated that Mr. Lu was destroying those trenches. Baidu sister-in-law|Empty house

After a while, I suddenly heard a very heavy sound, like a stone grinding against the ground, and I felt the ground shake under my feet. I glanced back and just saw Mr. Lu running out with his stomach in his arms.

The two of us looked at Mr. Lu's stomach and asked nervously, "Injured?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head, then lifted his clothes. I found that there was a black spiritual seat in his arms. It reads uprightly: Zhang Banxian's position.

I said, "Where did you get this?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "It is hidden under the offering table. He looked back, and then looked at the small temple that circled around: "Such a big battle in Liucheng is probably just to hide this spiritual position." ”

Xue Qian said: "Your master and your uncle are really interesting. For the sake of this spiritual position, as far as it goes? ”

Mr. Lu said: "This spiritual position is not simple. He turned the spiritual position upside down, and I saw a few lines of small writing on the back: Whoever has attained this spiritual position must worship for 100 days
