Chapter 117: Shadows
I only felt a chill slowly coming from my body, this cold was different from the low temperature, it was the kind of cold in the heart, the skin on the top of my head began to gradually numb, the hairs on my back slowly began to stand up, this involuntary muscle tension made me dare not even breathe loudly. Look at Cha Wenbin over there, waving all kinds of paper money in his hand and still scattering it, and the ghost spell in his mouth is repeated over and over again, as if he wants to get all the lonely souls and wild ghosts around him.
Ghosts and the like can be perceived when they are not visible to the naked eye, especially when the burnt paper money is flying in one direction.
It was a northwest wind blowing that night, and Longshou Mountain was really good in the north, but these paper coins moved against the wind, and all the bees drifted towards the foot of the mountain. I know I don't have auditory hallucinations, but I can really hear the lamentations and cries coming from the valley in the distance, maybe it's the wind, maybe it's the cry of the dead, and there have been countless bones buried here for years, and for many years they have not been noticed.
Cha Wenbin took out another piece of blue cloth, a black cloth, and a flower cloth, about three feet each, and gave them to the three of us, one for each of us. Then he lit three sticks of incense, one for each of them, and he said, "The cloth is for those things that are entangled with you, and if they refuse to go, tell them that this is a new garment for them, and that they will be sent to the tailor." ”
"Really?" Zhu Zihao asked.
I said to him: "Fake, this is called a liar, don't treat those ingots hanging on your waist as waste paper, this is your road money." ”
"How do you know so much? Aren't you collecting scrap with Brother Shi? "That was before, and now your Xia Ye has also changed his career to become a Taoist priest!"
I've been with Cha Wenbin for so long, to be honest, except for those spells and charms that are difficult, I can basically rely on the gourd to draw a scoop, so I once thought that if there was a little bit I couldn't get along, I might be able to make a living by going out and pretending to be a charlatan.
"After a while, you two walk ahead of me, pay attention to the shadow under your feet, if there is an extra shadow around you, it means that something is entangled, just throw a handful of paper money and tell it to let it go; But if the shadow does not go away, then as I have just taught you, I will say to go to the tailor. ”
"And what if you don't leave?" Zhu Zihao asked, "Is it time for Master Cha to make a move?" ”
Cha Wenbin pointed to the stick in his hand and said, "Then use the mourning stick in your hand to smash the shadow on the ground, but most of them are lonely souls and wild ghosts here, don't hurt if you can." ”
Turning around, he walked away with the evil bell in one hand, shook it every three steps, and read in his mouth: "The heavenly decree belongs to my heart, and the soul of people is chased in nine days; The palm wheel is three springs, and the evil ghost follows me. "This spell is the soul of the Maoshan faction**, Zhu Zihao and I are following behind, quite a bit of the taste of Taoist priests pulling zombies in Hong Kong films.
I didn't dare to look up, paying close attention to my feet, for fear that there would be an extra little friend next to my slender shadow. The position of the altar is only forty or fifty meters away from Longshou Mountain, Cha Wenbin stops and goes, this road is also extremely slow, I have forgotten that it was the first few steps when a shadow began to appear around me, I only know that at that moment I grabbed a large handful of paper money and threw it out desperately, and shouted with the greatest strength of my life: "Go!" ”
It is also from this step, almost every three steps need to be sprinkled with paper money, Zhu Zihao and I both shouted at first, the chill is gone, you are surrounded by that thing, I would rather not see it now, those shadows are like treating us as ATMs, one is done and the other is immediately connected. So later, even the strength to shout was gone, but fortunately, there were some greedy people here, and they disappeared immediately after throwing money, and occasionally met one or two who refused to leave, and shouted: "This is to find a tailor for you to make new clothes." After shouting, the shadow disappeared.
When he was about seven or eight meters away from the foot of Longshou Mountain, the shadow that appeared next to Zhu Zihao appeared for the first time that he couldn't drive away, and he shouted three times in a row, "Go!" The shadow did not move at all, and he waved the cloth in his hand again and said nonsense, but the shadow still did not move. His person, if you want to say timid, it doesn't count, if you want to say bold, I think it can only be said that it is brainless, he picked up the mourning stick in his hand and smashed it hard against the shadow on the ground, but the force was too strong, and the stick broke into two with a "click".
Okay, now the grandson took a look, good guy, the shadow is still there, he turned around and ran to me at all, I didn't dodge or dodge, I had to carry it, he shouted: "Master Xia, help me!" When I saw that he was crying, I picked up the stick in my hand and slammed it on his buttocks, and the grandson jumped up and shouted, "Ouch! Then he muttered again when he landed: "Why doesn't it hurt?" ”
"It's still there!" I saw that the shadow was still beside Zhu Zihao, at the moment he was one person and two shadows, and the other shadow seemed to overlap with his own shadow, looking more like someone lying on his back and leaning forward his shoulders, just exposing only one neck.
I looked at the two heads on the ground and said to Zhu Zihao: "You stand still, don't dangle around, look at me!" ”
I took a deep breath and held up the mourning stick in my hand, which had long been used in black and white to restrain ghosts, and was made of willow branches and linen. The willow tree is evil, hemp is said to bind dirty things, and I aimed at the head of the shadow on the ground very accurately, and I can tell which head belongs to Zhu Zihao, because the other head seems to have a bun on the top of its head, which is a distinctly different mark.
"Ding" made a crisp sound, I was stunned, Zhu Zihao was also stunned, he looked down at his waist, it was the bell, the acacia bell actually rang!
Cha Wenbin immediately stopped, turned around, and stopped me, saying, "Stop!" He looked at the shadow on the ground and looked up to Zhu Zihao and said, "Don't move, close your eyes, just stand there." ”
He hurriedly walked around Zhu Zihao, and there was a handful of lime in his hand that happened to scatter a white circle around Zhu Zihao, and the others were in the center of that circle.
"Bite your middle finger and drip blood on the bell."
"Can I open my eyes, then?" "Can't!"
Zhu Zihao: "...... So how to drop? ”
"Feel it with your heart."
The pampered man, where is he willing to bite his middle finger, only to use his strength to "ouch", Cha Wenbin shook his head and simply handed over his sword and said, "Scratch it on it." Only then did his boy break a small hole and tremble and smeared the blood on it.
"Pull a strand of hair down and burn it!" Cha Wenbin walked around Zhu Zihao with his feet crossed while continuing to command, for fear that the extra shadow would be gone, he quickly stuffed a small handful of Zhu Zihao's hair with a fire fold and quickly stuffed it into a small bottle, swayed it from side to side, and then handed the bottle to Zhu Zihao and said: "Use this water to wipe on your eyelids, then open your eyes and gently pat your right shoulder with your left hand." ”
Then he said to me, "Turn around and don't look, lest you fall asleep at night." ”
I subconsciously knew what would happen, the parents of the body skin and hair, this is to make them recognize their relatives!
Although it has been a hundred years since the people of the Jiang family and the queen of the Jiang family, the ancestors have not forgotten their descendants and descendants, even if my stick hit it firmly on its back, it still carried it down, just because they had the same blood on their bodies.
Zhu Zihao opened his eyes but his eyes were blank, as if he was sluggish, and I could only hear his even breathing when I turned my back. Cha Wenbin also waited beside him like a wood carving, and a few of us stood stupidly next door to the night sky until the incense burning in my hand was completely extinguished.
"That's it!" I turned around, Cha Wenbin only patted Zhu Zihao's forehead lightly, he suddenly seemed to wake up, rubbed his eyes and said, "What's wrong?" Hey, where's the shadow?"
"Let's go, I met your great-grandfather, that is, your *** grandfather." Cha Wenbin's words didn't seem to be fake, he said: "He told me that there is a well in the Jiang family's old house, and there are some things in the well that you want to take out." ”
"How do I know where the Jiang family's old mansion is?"
"Hu Genglin knows." Cha Wenbin continued: "He also said that your grandmother's sins need you to pay back, and he can't pay them back, the Jiang family is doing very badly below, and there are many people who come to them to settle accounts, telling you to worship God more and burn more incense." ”
"You tell him not to look for me if it's okay, I don't know him, what great-grandfather, my surname is Zhu, I am the Zhu family, and it has nothing to do with their Jiang family." He paused and said, "Also, Master Cha, please tell him again, I haven't seen what my grandmother looks like, why do you want me to pay off the debt?" Even if something is done wrong, there is a debtor and a debtor, and it is not my turn to pay it. ”
Cha Wenbin patted Zhu Zihao's shoulder and said, "You are the only bloodline of the Jiang and Zhu families, of course you have to pay it back." ”
I was a little gloating when I thought of Zhu Zihao's inexplicable back, and I just wanted to laugh, but I looked down and found, "Hey, good guy, I have one too!" "No, right next to me, a shadow came out, and it looked like it was standing next to me!
"Let's go!" I didn't think much about it, I really saw a lot of this kind of thing tonight, and I threw a handful of paper money in my hand, and then looked, he's still there. I thought to myself, you are still quite greedy, and shook the blue cloth on your hand and said: "Find a tailor to make you a new dress, don't get in the way, go!" ”
Look again, it's still there! I was a little annoyed at once, I picked up the mourning stick in my hand and slapped it down, "snapped", and a few stones were shot away by me, and when I looked again, the shadow was still there, but it moved from my right to the left......
