Chapter 3 Excessive Practices

Let's look at Uncle Jiu's appearance, square face, mustache, prominent eyebrows, two eyes like tiger eyes, blazing spirit, between the eyebrows reveal a heroic spirit, Uncle Nine is worthy of being a man of the Tao, sitting in danger, not angry and self-assured.

Xiao Hao and Ah Hai saw that they were masters, and immediately came to visit. Xiao Hao asked, "Master, why did you come back so early?" We thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Uncle Nine said, "I'll rush back when the matter is done." How? Aren't you welcome to come back early? Xiao Hao touched his head embarrassedly, "How dare you, master." By the way, how did you come to the palace? ”

Uncle Nine took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't see the two of you in Fuxi Hall, and when I came out and met the junior of Huiying Building, I knew that you went to the palace to catch ghosts, and I was afraid that you would make a mistake, so I came here to help you." I also just arrived, and I was about to go with Master Wang to find the two of you, so you came. Xiao Hao Ah Hai was very grateful to the master for worrying about him so much, and carefully talked about the process of fighting with the female ghost, Xiao Hao added fuel and material, and praised himself and his senior brother's ability. Uncle Nine glanced at Xiao Hao and said, "You two, Ah Hai Dao has made some progress, you are usually greedy for fun, and this time you must have suffered a lot from catching ghosts." In the future, we must devote ourselves to cultivating the Tao, and we must not be as fast as this time, lest we fail to catch ghosts and lose our lives. ”

The two brothers knew that they were at a loss, bowed their heads and were silent, so they had to listen to the master's lecture, and the old man Wang saw this and came to say good things to the two of them, thanking the two for catching evil ghosts for the royal house, so as to keep the family at peace. Kua's ninth uncle has a good way to teach the disciples, and he praised it for a while. When Uncle Nine heard this, although his face was not happy, he was very useful in his heart. After a polite conversation with Master Wang, the two apprentices were seated. Uncle Nine asked Ah Hai to hand over the ghost hunting bottle to check it, and said to Master Wang, "This ghost must have a relationship with your family, when I came, I saw that the feng shui layout of your house seemed to have the guidance of a master, did you ever move something, broke the feng shui." ”

Master Wang said, "A few days ago, I wanted to add some garden scenery to the courtyard, but I saw that a stone in the courtyard was too obstructive, so I moved it away, and there were some runes on the stone that I didn't care too much about at the time, could it be because of this?" Uncle Nine asked Master Wang to send someone to find the stone, take a closer look, and said that this is a stone used to suppress ghosts, and it is more effective with the feng shui in the courtyard.

Uncle Nine asked Master Wang if anyone had died here before. Master Wang thought about it and said, I am here in the ancestral house, I heard that my grandfather has a nephew, who often lives here and often does bad things, one day I saw a maid born handsome, and had a lustful heart, and wanted to do bad things to her, the maid refused to break free, so he ran to the courtyard and hit his head with a stone and died on the spot, and that night, my grandfather's nephew died inexplicably. It is said that the ghost of the maid will not go away after her death, and she will ask him for her life. After that, a few days later, some people said that they had hit ghosts, which made people panic, and my grandfather found a Dharma master who had attained enlightenment and did the rituals. After hearing this, Uncle Nine said that this stone should be the death of the female ghost, and the mage sealed her here with a charm combined with feng shui, but he didn't expect it to bring evil consequences to future generations.

"Well, I'll take this female ghost back to Fuxi Hall so that she can be overdosed, and Master Wang wants to burn some paper money for her during the New Year's festival to resolve this sin for the ancestors."

"Okay, everything is according to Uncle Nine's orders." Master Wang asked people to take twenty oceans and hand them to Ah Hai Xiaohao as a thank you gift for catching ghosts, Xiaohao was just about to take it, but was glared at by Uncle Jiu, Xiaohao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just give it to my master, this is naturally filial piety to the master." Xiaohao said in his heart, it's okay now, I'm so tired of catching ghosts that I'm dying and alive, but I didn't expect to be busy in vain, my private money!

Unconsciously that it was almost evening, the three of them said goodbye to Master Wang and returned to Fuxi Hall. Uncle Nine put the ghost hunting bottle in front of the hall, put on the pillar incense, and planned to open the altar tomorrow to practice the magic of ghosts, and then go back to the room to meditate and practice. Ah Hai and Xiao Hao went to make dinner. After the meal was cooked, the three of them ate and chatted, leaving it alone for the time being.

At night, when the three of them were already asleep, one of them climbed over the courtyard wall outside, and crept into the house, which seemed to be a thief, and he looked around, and could not help but shake his head when he saw any treasure, and suddenly saw the ghost hunting bottle in front of the hall, which was in the pocket of his clothes, and the thief was very happy to see that it was so easy to steal, and escaped cautiously.

The next morning, the three of them got up, and when they arrived in front of the hall, they found that the ghost hunting bottle was missing, and Ah Hai Xiaohao was angry first, saying that this bold thief stole from our Fuxi Hall. Uncle Nine pinched his fingers and said with a slight smile, the bottle can't be lost, and it won't be long before he will send it back. Ah Hai Xiaohao still didn't believe it a little, but it was hard to say anything when he heard the master say this. The two of them had to make breakfast first, and the three of them had just finished breakfast. I heard someone shouting outside, "Uncle Jiu, help, take this thing away, I don't dare to steal anything from Fuxitang anymore!" ”

Who is this man? It was the thief who stole the ghost bottle last night, this person had just run into the house, and immediately knelt in front of Uncle Jiu, shouting that Uncle Jiu would save his life. The three of them looked at the man carefully, only to find that there was something under the man's crotch, which was the missing ghost hunting bottle. Seeing this scene, Ah Hai Xiaohao couldn't help laughing. The thief's face was flushed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Uncle Nine asked him who he was and why he stole the bottle. The man said: "My name is Liu Mang, I have always made a living by petty theft, I have always heard that there are treasures in Fuxi Hall, yesterday I was fascinated by ghosts, and I thought of you stealing something to exchange for some money." After listening to this, Xiaohao said: "Liu Mang, aren't you a hooligan, you really look like a hooligan, hahaha!" After saying that, the two burst into laughter again.

Liu Mang said: "Alas, don't laugh, when I came, I was already laughed all the way, embarrassed and embarrassed, do you think I want to, after stealing the bottle and going home, I just want to see what kind of treasure this is, whether it is worth it, I just opened the rune paper on it, I want to open the bottle, I can't open it, I just take it below and use force, the bottle is opened, I didn't think that the bottle came to my crotch, and I didn't want to live or die there." The bottle seems to have something, it will move, it can't be broken, and it is okay to toss for a night, so I came to ask Uncle Nine for help, I knew that I was wrong, and asked Uncle Nine to be merciful. ”

Uncle Nine nodded, took the Bagua Mirror and recited the spell, and the Bagua Mirror reflected a burst of white light on the Taiji diagram on the bottle, and the bottle suddenly loosened and fell. Uncle Nine closed the bottle and re-attached the talisman paper. Tell Liu Mang, don't go out for the past two days, the yang energy on your body has been sucked away a lot by the bottle, and rest at home to avoid getting dirty things again. Liu Mang knelt on the ground, thanked him a thousand times, and said goodbye to Uncle Nine and went back.

Uncle Nine instructed Ah Hai Xiaohao to open the altar in order to overkill the female ghost. After the altar was built, Uncle Nine changed into a Taoist robe, brought a Taoist crown, and held a peachwood sword in his hand. Dressed like this, it shows a heroic righteousness and a sense of spirit. Uncle Nine first grabbed a handful of rice and threw it on top of the candle, picked up a few runes with his sword and threw them into the air, and recited a mantra while walking along the steps of the gossip: "Taishang Edict, Chao Ru Lonely Soul." The sins of this life will be paid in this life. Cause and effect in this life, don't think about it in the next life. Listen to my decree and have to turn reincarnation. Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law! After reading it, he used a peachwood sword to pick open the cap of the ghost-hunting bottle, only to see a burst of white smoke floating out of the mouth of the bottle and dissipating in the air.

After overdoing it, Uncle Nine went back to the house to rest, and Ah Hai Xiaohao was busy cleaning up the house and didn't mention it for the time being. I don't know what happened after that, but we'll talk about it next time.
