Taoist priests are clergy of Taoism in China.

"Taixiao Lang Book Classic" said: "Pedestrian avenue, called Taoist." The body and mind are reasonable, only the Tao is followed, and the Tao is the thing, so he is called the Taoist. ”

They follow the religion, fulfill the rites of initiation, accept various precepts, and live a religious life that is regarded as miserable and lonely by the worldly people, but in fact has a high standard of simplicity. Now, there are a lot of Taoist priests have flowed into the folk, small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, big hidden in the court, these folk Taoist priests on the one hand are also inseparable from oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but they are also convenient to abide by the rules left by the sect, these rules are not forced on them, completely self-spiritual constraints.

Taoist priests who have not been out of the school before have to tie their hair and add a hairpin, and only those who have left the teacher can be wholesaled. Ancient men grew their hair so they had such rules, and when it came to Cha Wenbin's generation, there was naturally no hairstyle, in fact, he was already the head of a faction, but in his heart, the master's recognition of him in Taoism was far from meeting the requirements he wanted, at least to really talk about the founding of the mountain, he still needed to do something to prove that he was okay!

The tent in the courtyard of the fool's house has been set up, and this matter has to rely on the help of the villagers, and the good people have been sent to the mental hospital, let alone the fool's wife. In addition, everyone knew that Cha Wenbin was going to fiddle with the coffin at night, almost all the people in the village had arrived, the grandmother's grave was brightly lit, and people used wires to hang incandescent lamps at this end, and someone had already set up a desk for Cha Wenbin in the afternoon, and he had to go two games this night, the first half was here, and the second half was for the fool's mother.

Cha Wenbin began to abstain from dawn, and only drank some water throughout the day, and the Taoist priest believed that communicating with the gods was a sacred thing, and he wanted to eliminate his filth. After bathing and changing, Cha Wenbin changed into a placket robe, with a white shirt on the inside and two layers of robes on the outside, the first layer on the inside is purple and gold, and the outer layer is bright yellow. This robe continues the characteristics of the Han Dynasty costume, with wide sleeves and large sleeves, so the Taoist priests always seem to be juggling all kinds of gadgets from the sleeves.

The children crowded forward to see the excitement, this Taoist priest to catch ghosts has heard from the mouth of the old man, who is not rare? It's a pity that the adults are screwing up their children like crazy, who wants you little rabbits to come and see these things? The women retreated outside to chew the root of their tongues, the east and the west are short, and the ones who like superstition on weekdays are even more god-to-god, and the men are a kind of expectation and nervousness, as if the wife in the delivery room is about to give birth, whether it is a man or a woman I don't know, just wait for a cry to know whether to bring it or not!

Xia Lao Liu led a group of people to maintain order at the scene, in fact, according to Cha Wenbin's intentions, don't come so many people at night, it's best to clear the scene. But it's never a big deal to watch the excitement these days, even if there is danger in the rumors, but there are so many people who are not, always thinking that it may not be their turn.

On the desk is a cow's head, which was specially bought today, with a raw cow's head, staring at the balls, didn't they all say that one of the two big brothers in the underworld was called a cow head and the other was called a horse face. The coffin was still covered with plastic skin, Cha Wenbin saw that the time was almost up, those who refused to disperse were still unwilling to disperse, and he didn't want to say anything more, he stretched out his hand to the two candles is "whirring" two palms, and the flame suddenly pulled out a fire dragon far away, and the people who saw it were amazed.

Grabbing the two small penangular flags placed on the desk, Cha Wenbin stepped on the sky, planted a flag on the left and right sides of the coffin, and read in his mouth: "Five thunder generals, train generals, soar to the ground, drive thunder and clouds, team battles of tens of millions, command the divine soldiers, open the flag and call urgently, no stop." Haste as a law! One turned over and jumped up, and smashed a handful of cinnabar in his hand towards the plastic sheet surface, and those who knew a little bit had something to talk about at this time, and said to the wide-eyed little friend beside him: "I don't understand, he is called fighting ghosts, and the ghosts in this coffin must be convinced to open the coffin so that there will be no danger." ”

Cha Wenbin, who turned back to the desk, picked up a ring ruler, which is the famous canopy ruler, which is the second category of Taoist magic weapons after swords, and is usually used to town the altar and cannot be used indiscriminately. This thing is more common in the world after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is extremely rare before the Yuan Dynasty, for Taoist priests, it is an unattainable thing to be able to obtain a long-standing canopy ruler, this thing is usually the same as the incense burner on the altar, the older it is, the more powerful it is.

Cha Wenbin's ruler is naturally an old object, which was handed down by his ancestor Ling Zhengyang, but I heard that this thing was much earlier than Ling Zhengyang, and I don't know where he came from. This ruler is made of peach wood, the texture is hard, and it has been preserved, a total of four edges and six sides, respectively, engraved with twenty-eight nights, the sun and the moon, the name of the Emperor Ziwei in the middle pole, the name of Marshal Tianpeng, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, that is, the name of the Southern Dipper and the Big Dipper, you must not be confused by the honest second senior brother in "Journey to the West", the real identity of Tianpeng is quite advanced.

Holding the ruler, Cha Wenbin walked back to the place where he was just now, gently tapped the four corners of the covered coffin with the ruler, and then ripped off the plastic sheet, covering up the coffin all day and still being so bright, the surface of the paint is much brighter than the furniture in many people's homes.

"If there are people who are in conflict, please stay away and retreat to thirty zhang away," Cha Wenbin had to repeat what he had explained during the day, the so-called no tears if you don't see the coffin, which is quite appropriate to describe now. The appearance of such a new coffin made some people who came to see the excitement later muttered in their hearts, isn't this thing really so evil, some timid people began to pull their men's arms and walked out, and the children were also blindfolded by the adults to lead back, and there were really a lot fewer people at this time.

Cha Wenbin gently touched the coffin with his hand, and the coolness gradually began to pass from his fingertips, what kind of scene is this? He walked slowly, this coffin did not have a heavy sense of history, as if it had just been buried last night, which was too unacceptable.

At this time, Xia Lao Liu noticed something unusual, there was a dark red fire paint directly under the coffin cover, and inside the fire paint was a palm-sized metal sheet, which was engraved with many patterns, which looked very similar to the kind of Taoist talisman they used.

"Wen Bin, do you see if there is a Taoist talisman under the head of the coffin?"

According to Xia Laoliu's prompt, Cha Wenbin squatted down and found it, he recognized the talisman, this is the corpse suppression talisman! This talisman is first said to be created by Zhong Kui, and the general talisman is different, it usually uses rooster blood as ink, the talisman is divided into nine feet and thirteen feet, and it is naturally drawn on the rune paper. And the talisman in front of him is obviously a metal sheet, with the words "The Imperial Decree General is here", and the rune in this talisman alone can be categorically determined to be a "corpse suppression talisman". Cha Wenbin checked it more carefully, and found that there was indeed a layer of dark red on the groove of the rune's pattern, which was powdery under light scratching, and I don't know if it was the rooster blood that was smeared back then.

Turning around, Cha Wenbin said to Xia Lao Liu: "Sixth uncle, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, if it's a corpse talisman, when it is buried, the people expected that there might be a corpse change inside, there are so many people here at the scene, if you want to make a moth, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control, let the villagers scatter again." He looked up, and the bright moon in the night sky was as bright as a big round plate, and it was the middle of the month, so it couldn't be a good day.

"Yes, as long as you are sure, you can simply burn it on fire."

"Can't burn," Cha Wenbin said: "In case you recklessly burn the outside talisman, the things inside will be released, now it's best to trap it with a heaven and earth net, if there is a corpse inside, you must use a peach wood wedge to nail it into her throat to dissolve the breath stuck in her throat, only if you break that breath can you be fine." ”

Xia Lao Liu nodded and went to arrange a retreat, from his solemn expression, the person with a flexible brain had already seen the strange thing and slipped away first, this is different from ordinary help, who is willing to put their own life into it. I heard that the coffin might be a corpse, but now it's good, the young and middle-aged people who should have stayed have also evacuated one after another, and less than a cigarette of kung fu was left with only Xia Laoliu's two iron rods, including the butcher Zhang.

"It's okay, it's safe now." Cha Wenbin took out the ink fountain box and handed it to Xia Lao Liudao: "Uncle help me play the line, the coffin is played horizontally seven times, and the four sides play six times, a total of twenty-eight, and the front and rear tails are three combs and three are nine palace roads, so we have to put the coffin up." ”

At the moment, there are only four people in total, including Cha Wenbin, using a rope to pass through the big wood at the bottom of the coffin, and the four of them can't get up together, as if this coffin has to weigh thousands.

"Wait," Cha Wenbin stopped Xia Laoliu, who was going to try again, and said to Butcher Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, where is your pig-killing knife that you usually use to bleed?" ”

"Staying in a good person's house, aren't you helping him kill the pig today?"

"Help me get it," Cha Wenbin said, "It's best to get some smell on it, in short, don't wash it so clean." ”

After a while, Butcher Zhang sent over the single-edged sharp knife, the knife looked greasy but it was also extremely sharp, Cha Wenbin took it without saying a word, and stabbed it down according to the coffin board and shouted: "I contain heaven and earth, curse poison and kill ghosts, curse gold and gold self-selling, curse wood and wood self-folding, curse water and water self-exhaustion, curse fire and fire self-extinguish, curse mountains and mountains self-collapse, curse stones and stones self-cracking, curse gods and gods self-bound, curse ghosts and ghosts commit suicide, curse prayer and prayer self-determination, curse carbuncle self-determination, curse poison self-dispersion, curse self-destruction!" ”
