Chapter 158: A Night's Terror II
Sacrifices will be prepared before the altar is opened, and these sacrifices are prepared for the immortals from all walks of life who need to ask for help from the Taoist priests, so it can be seen that this immortal is also the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. Cha Wenbin has to put three incense sticks on every practice before doing it, which is a habit and a kind of respect. The green smoke curled, the lightning and thunder outside the house, I looked at the three old people hanging on the wall, and I didn't want to mention the hairiness in my heart.
The Maoshan faction's approach is more particular about the scene, Cha Wenbin has a lot of flags, tokens, big seals, ring rulers, and swords in front of him, and there is a circle of candles lit around the concubine, which is also the only light in the house at the moment. There is a mirror on the foot of the concubine, which is the round mirror used for the girl's dressing, but it is facing away from the person. The candle jumped and flickered, the flame was generally not big, like a small mung bean, Cha Wenbin said that the yin qi was too strong and even the yang fire would not be vigorous, and this method was also the easiest way to test the bad luck. In the past, when I went out, doing business or studying, it was inevitable that I would not find a place to stay, and if I found an empty house or a broken temple, I would go in and make up for a night, and experienced people would choose to light a candle in the middle of the house. Or if the flame is small, yellow and green, and flashing, then make a noise on all sides, and if you say a word of disturbance, you must bow your head and bend your back to the door to exit. Such a house cannot be inhabited, because the yin qi is too heavy, and most of the things are dirty there.
Cha Wenbin had a piece of cloth in his hand, and a bowl, the bowl was filled with a bowl of raw rice, he covered the bowl with a cloth and then began to circle around Concubine Yu, chanting the scriptures while turning his mouth, I couldn't understand the scriptures, the muttering was neither dialect nor Mandarin, and the rhythm was a bit like singing, but it was not so tunal. This is the mantra passed down by the Taoist priest by mouth, each sect has its own mantra, the mantra is not recorded, and even the Taoist priest himself does not know what this mantra means, anyway, you just follow it. Each generation of masters will start by reciting mantras to teach their disciples, this process is very long, like Cha Wenbin recited for eight years to learn all the mantras taught by Ma Sufeng, each mantra is used on what occasion, what situation, what time there are strict regulations, the master will conduct spot checks on students, until it is word for word. There is also a disadvantage to this kind of teaching law, that is, there are many spells that have long been lost, and the Heavenly Orthodox Path is still complete, but compared to Ling Zhengyang's generation, these spells have at least half disappeared.
Whether the incantation is useful or not, you can see the reaction, when Cha Wenbin was reciting the incantation, the flame of the candle "rubbed" upward, this is not nonsense, the naked eye can clearly see, with the rhythm of his incantation, those flames are as if they have spirituality, and they will also rise and fall, but the fire has risen and fallen compared to before.
I wondered if Cha Wenbin's might was starting to appear, and forgive me for using such words at the time, because at this time I still want him to be the boss. After probably a cigarette, Cha Wenbin stopped, he walked to the cloth and lifted it, and there was a magical scene in the bowl.
I swear, from head to toe, no one touched that bowl, and the rice in that bowl was poured by me, and it was a good bowl, and the rice was even with the mouth of the bowl. And now the meter has changed from the original plane to an inclined plane, one end is high and the other is low, and there is a round pit on the side of the inclined plane, which is as big as a fingernail, and the circle is regular and swirling, which is very neat, Cha Wenbin pulled out his sword and shouted: "Where to escape!" ”
The shout was so full of vigor that it was a fight with the thunder outside, and if I had not been familiar with him, I would have thought that it was a magic stick playing tricks, and he took the sword in one hand and the bell in the other hand and slammed into the left side of the house, which had been a kitchen, separated from it by a curtain.
I also followed, Cha Wenbin took the bell and shook it in the kitchen, "ding" crisply, he pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished, this is kung fu. Cha Wenbin once told me that the ringtone can determine the location of the dirty thing, because the sound will emit a band, and there will be an echo when it hits the wall, but it will not echo when it hits a dirty thing, which is quite a bit of sonar. He taught me, but I wouldn't listen, and after standing for a moment, he immediately rushed to the back of the kitchen. It was a small cubicle, a room divided into two, with the kitchen in front and some jars and cupboards in the back, and there was nothing to be seen in the black.
As soon as he entered, I heard a "clang", like the sound of the wine jar being broken, and then there was a "snap", as if the glass had also been broken, I hurriedly pulled Xiaobai and wanted to go in, but she was timid and refused to move, so I had to give up.
After being quiet for less than a moment, Cha Wenbin hurriedly walked out of it, and I asked, "Okay?" ”
He shook his head and said, "Run, let's see the people first." ”
Inside the house, Concubine Yu's expression was much better than before, and her tightly knit brows were stretched, Cha Wenbin probed his breath, which was much more symmetrical than before, and he also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Catch that rooster." ”
After the rooster was brought into the house, Cha Wenbin said again: "Turn on the lights." I pulled up the electric switch, the yellow incandescent lamp is not much better than the candle, the shadow under the lamp is dangling, I still feel uncomfortable, Cha Wenbin brought my miner's lamp and flashed it on the rooster's head, that guy, the rooster immediately pulled his throat and "whooped" and crowed, it thought it was dawn......
This kid must have learned from Zhou Papi, this voice was loud, and I suddenly felt refreshed, only to see Concubine Yu's eyelids move twice and then began to slowly open her eyes.
She was still a little weak, and asked silently, "What's wrong with me." When she looked down and saw the mess on her body, she screamed and pierced the night sky of Shang'an Village. We agreed that the truth of this matter should not be told, for fear that she would have a shadow in her heart in the future, Cha Wenbin gave her a pill and she began to vomit, and the things that spit out were simply unsightly, fishy and smelly, and it was just that she had eaten badly, and she had to hide it all else.
That night, except for Concubine Yu, who slept all night, Cha Wenbin and Xiaobai and I were all crammed into the same room, and stayed up until dawn, no one had the heart to sleep, and no one dared to sleep. Because Cha Wenbin said, I have seen that thing, it is the white shirt I met on the way back, you said that this thing is a coincidence, it turned out that in the evening, Concubine Yu saw that there was no match at home, so she went to think about picking up some dry branches and came back.
In this season there was a lot of green everywhere, and she had to use dry wood to make a fire, so she went to the nest of the willows, and it was no wonder that branches from the rising water of the river were stuck in the hollows of the trees under the big trees. At dawn, I accompanied the two back to my house to rest, while Cha Wenbin went to my father to discuss something.
This tree belongs to the village collective, not he Cha Wenbin can move if he wants to, my father took him to find the branch secretary of Shang'an Village, and thought of a reason: the stone ridge by the river has been some years, and my father proposed to re-pick it and repair it. The other party said that there was no money to repair it, and my father immediately snapped his chest, and he didn't ask them for money for this matter, but just one, and the old tree had to be brought back. In fact, the willow tree is worthless, it is all rotten and hollow, and the other party is also desperate, so the matter is settled.
After I went back, my father set up a table of wine and invited seven or eight people, all of whom were in the prime of life. After lunch, a group of old and young masters rushed over, and went to cut down trees first, but the group of people in Shang'an Village also received the news, there were thirty or forty people coming, men, women and children had to sit under the willow trees.
These two groups of people had a holiday, it turned out that they heard that the people of Hongcun were going to cut down trees, so they didn't do it, and a bald head said: "The tree planted by the ancestors of Shang'an Village, why do you say that you will cut it down, this river ridge is also a matter of Shang'an Village, what does it have to do with you?" ”
I pointed to the empty willow tree and said, "We call it serving the people, but what have you done to the roots of this tree?" ”
The bald head spat on the ground and said, "Then there is no need for you to serve, the dog is nosy with the mouse." ”
My father was angry at that time, and he stepped forward and pushed the fat man and said, "Who are you scolding!" ”
The bald head turned his neck and said: "Whoever accostes me, I will scold whom!" ”
"Click" a slap, my father's hand is quite big, quite rough, this slap down, the bald head suddenly half of the face swollen. Fan in front of so many people, it really can't get off the stage, it is estimated that this fat man will not go to see the excitement of the Lu family, and I don't know how powerful our group of people is, he grabbed the hoe of the person next to him and hit my father: "**Your grandma!" ”
My father's skills against a country ruffian are no problem, the side of the body first let this blow, and when the bald head has not been withdrawn, he twisted the arm of the guy with one hand, and the hoe fell off with a "snap". He twisted his bald head in a circle, just opposite, raised his big hand to "click" and slapped again, fanned the goods and shook his head again and again, and then kicked and kicked to the ground, and said to him: "The sixth child of Hongcun, your father doesn't dare to spread wild in front of me, if you want to fill your head, go back and practice again." ”
Say:
Good night first
