Chapter 6: The Black Charm Locks Life
Cloud Village is very remote and hidden in the mountains. Due to the influence of the curse, the village has little contact with the outside world and lives a self-sufficient life.
Due to its location in the mountains, Yunwu Village has never even seen the most basic electrical wiring, let alone televisions, lights and other daily utensils, and the only energized ones are flashlights and radios with batteries.
And Wei Lai was the first person in the village to be admitted to university, which caused quite a stir at the time. But now, the villagers all showed sympathetic looks, because Wei Lai was about to die.
"My poor child, who is about to die at a young age, what kind of iniquity is this?" A woman knelt beside the coffin in the courtyard, wailing loudly.
Wei Lai ran out of the village chief's house and ran outside his yard to see his mother slumped on the ground, and the red coffin next to her was very conspicuous.
"Mom, I'm back." Wei Lai saw that his mother's face was haggard, her eyes were red, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
When Wei Lai's mother saw Wei Lai coming back, she took Wei Lai in her arms with a wow, and her cry instantly became sharp, and she shouted miserably: "My poor baby, your life is so miserable, and the curse that has never appeared has made you catch up." ”
Wei Lai finally broke free from his mother's embrace, shook his mother's shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile: "Mom, I don't have to die, the village chief has found a way to lift the curse." ”
"Found a way?" Wei Lai's mother was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously.
Wei Lai nodded heavily, in order to make his mother believe, he said again: "Mom, don't worry, I don't have to die, now time is pressing, I'll go and solve the problem of my curse first, by the way, did you choose a cemetery for me?" ”
"I chose, it's in the Ghost Burial Ridge."
“……”
Wei Lai was about to go back to the village chief when he heard that his mother had chosen a grave for him, and his feet were weak and he fell to the ground.
"My mother, you've hurt me." Wei Lai said with a sad face.
"Huh?" Wei Lai's mother was a little confused, and she didn't understand what was going on.
Wei Lai squeezed out a smile, which was even more ugly than crying, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go to the village chief now and lift my curse." ”
Wei Lai walked towards the village chief's house, slowly recalling the recent events, and suddenly patted his head and said: "I said how did I walk to the Ghost Burial Ridge in a daze, it turns out that the grave site that my mother chose for me is there, and I am lucky that I didn't die last night." ”
When the village chief saw Wei Lai enter the house, he asked, "Wei boy, how is it?" Have you chosen a cemetery? ”
Wei Lai lowered his head and said depressedly: "If you choose, the curse of the five ghosts can be lifted, but this cemetery is selected, and you can't even die if you don't want to." ”
The village chief stretched out his hand, patted Wei Lai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wei boy, count yourself lucky, I know a few ancient characters in this yellow scroll, understand some content, there is a way to help you solve it." ”
"Really?" Wei Lai said excitedly, he only vaguely understood a small part of the yellow scroll, and the rest had to be understood by consulting the information.
The village chief spread out the yellow scroll and pointed to one place: "Oh, the black talisman locks the life, and locks the three souls and seven spirits in the body with the talisman, among them, the three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the life soul, and the seven souls are the heavenly soul, the spirit and wisdom, the spirit, the strength, the central spirit, the essence, and the hero, as long as you let your soul not go to the yin cao to be judged, you can be saved." ”
The village chief pointed to the ancient characters on the scroll and explained to Wei Lai in detail, as the village chief of Yunwu**, he has to learn the ancient characters that have been handed down since he was a child, and the girl next to him is the next candidate for the village head, and he also needs to learn ancient words.
The talisman belongs to the Taoist talisman paper to ward off evil spirits and disasters, and is divided into various levels according to the different materials and the mysteries of the talismans.
The lowest level of the talisman is the black talisman, and most of the materials used are ink, black dog blood, child urine, etc., and then draw a spell on the yellow paper, which becomes a mysterious talisman, which can drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and even suppress ghosts and demons.
The rune is divided into black runes, red runes, blood runes, purple runes, silver runes, gold runes, the material of the black runes is ink, the red runes are cinnabar, the blood runes are the blood of the painters or the beasts, the purple runes are painted from various rare materials, also called the Tongbao spirit runes, and the last gold and silver runes are the legendary runes, which have only appeared in ancient classics.
"The lowest level of black charms, let's see if I can make them?" Wei Lai urged, about his net worth and life, he couldn't be sloppy at all.
The village chief slowly flipped through the scroll, and when he finished explaining to Wei Lai, Wei Lai's face showed a sad expression, even if it was the lowest level of black charms, it could not be made right now.
The talisman recorded on the yellow scroll is a set of ancient talismans, if you want to portray the talisman, you must first cultivate your own soul fire, that is, the three lights on the human body, only after your own soul fire is vigorous, the depicted talisman has the effect of driving away evil spirits and suppressing ghosts.
"If you can't come in a hurry, let's find a way to solve the curse of the five ghosts, otherwise you don't have to wait for Hades to catch you, and you will report it yourself tomorrow." The village chief reminded.
"Yes, yes, it's still the curse of the five ghosts, if anyone can depict this talisman, they won't all become feng shui masters in this world." Wei Lai complained a few words and flipped the yellow scroll to the place where the curse of the five ghosts was lifted.
After the village chief looked at it, he said: "The five ghosts are in the life array, using the glazed jade to wear the main array eye, using forty-nine green coins as the base of the array, playing the role of communicating yin and yang, and then carving the magic circle with the blood of the black dog, the magic circle starts from the birth gate, and then falls at the door of death, sprinkles the boy's urine into the ghost coffin, and uses pure yang to turn evil yin, and in the last step, the person who was cursed by the five ghosts lights the everlasting lamp in the array, and guards it until dawn, if the lamp is not extinguished, the curse of the five ghosts is lifted." ”
"What if the lights go out?" Wei Lai couldn't help but ask.
"If a person dies like a lamp goes out, I am afraid that he will still die." The village chief also frowned and sighed in a low voice.
Wei Lai gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "In other words, if you want to lift the curse of the five ghosts, it depends on my luck, but I have been unlucky recently, so it is better to give me a good time." ”
Wei Lai complained for a long time, picked up the yellow scroll and looked at it, and finally reluctantly accepted his fate, and went with the village chief to prepare what he needed.
"As long as I, the Great Official of Wei, don't die, I will learn the spells on the scroll, and when the time comes, a talisman will fly out, which ghost will dare to disobey?"
The village chief summoned all the villagers and briefly explained Wei Lai's situation, and everyone quickly gathered the things they needed, and there was a big pot of boy's urine alone.
"Wei Lai, listen carefully to the words of the village chief, the big black dog of the aunt's family has bled you, if you can survive, go to the aunt's house to eat dog meat, it's enough."
"Wei Lai, if you want to live, if you can lift the curse, there is hope for the people in the village."
Wei Lai stood behind the village chief, his eyes were a little moist, and he looked at the villagers with emotion, not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, Wei Lai remembered the ghost of the Ghost Burial Ridge, who was very good to him before he was alive, but wanted to harm himself after death, Wei Lai asked the village chief suspiciously.
"After a person dies, many things are out of his control, and the dead want to harm you, which is a resentment, and they can't help it." After the village chief finished speaking, he continued: "Let's go, it's almost time, Wei boy, it's up to you next." ”
Wei Lai picked up his things, waved at his mother, and walked towards the altar.
The villagers in the village, under the order of the village chief, all locked the doors of their houses, praying that Wei Lai could lift the curse.
Wei Lai wrote down the key points of lifting the curse, and under the guidance of the village chief, he determined the door of life and death, and walked to the altar with trepidation.
Looking at Wei Lai's figure disappearing into the night, the girl asked the village chief, "Grandma, can Brother Wei succeed?" ”
The village chief shook his head slowly, and sighed in a low voice: "This is not accurate, the curse of the Wei family that has not appeared for thousands of years has been caught up by Wei Xiaozi, it is his life to survive, and it is his life to not survive?" ”
The altar was pitch black, and five huge black sarcophagi were placed in the center, the lid of the sarcophagus had been opened, and the whirring wind blew into the coffin, making a seeping sound.
The Yellow Book records that when the curse is lifted, no one can appear except for those who are cursed by the five ghosts, otherwise the formation will be interfered with by the soul fire of outsiders, and not only will the curse not be lifted, but it will also harm one's own life.
Wei Lai carried his things and cautiously came to the altar, looking at the dark altar, the whirring wind stimulated his nerves, and the fear in Wei Lai's heart continued to grow.
"If it weren't for my life, I wouldn't have come here." Wei Lai tightened his clothes, reluctantly, but stepped into the altar in order to lift the curse.
The altar is in the shape of a gossip, with black stone pillars standing on the edges, carved with quaint patterns, and the entire altar is ancient and vicissitudes, exuding a cold and piercing atmosphere.
When Wei Lai stepped into the altar, the wind stopped strangely, the sound outside seemed to be completely isolated, and the black altar exuded a blood-red color, which was in stark contrast to the night, and a faint fishy smell diffused.
Among the five sarcophagus, the fishy smell is the strongest, lingering in blood red, forming vague veins inside, slowly revealing the general outline.
Faintly, the outline in the sarcophagus was formed, and five hidden or visible ghosts appeared, with green faces and fangs, extremely hideous, but except for revealing their bodies, the five ghosts did not move.
"Grandma, don't you come back to life." Wei Lai collapsed directly to the ground, and when he saw that the five ghosts did not move, he suppressed his thoughts of escaping.
Wei Lai believes in the existence of ghosts, and the dead creatures leave strong thoughts, or are disturbed by some kind of magnetic field, so that the will that should be dissipated remains, and when this will is strong, it can interfere with the spirit of the living, so in some cemeteries or places with poor air circulation, ghosts often appear.
But after these two days of strange events, it has been beyond Wei Lai's cognition, after he fainted, he was able to inexplicably get out of the forbidden land and barren mountain, Wei Lai still can't believe this fact.
Wei Lai suspected that either someone was manipulating him behind his back, or that there was something in his body. Either way, he is a poor victim.
Wei Lai placed the glazed pendant in the center according to the method of the yellow scroll, and the crystal jade pendant emitted a cyan light, indicating the appearance of ghosts and monsters around.
Wei Lai saw the changes in the glazed pendant, and he was more sure of his thoughts, this glazed jade pendant can not only ward off evil spirits, but also foreshadow the effect, as long as there are ghosts and monsters, the glazed pendant will emit a blue light.
After placing the glazed pendant, Wei Lai took out forty-nine green coins, which were very few outside, but there were many in Yunwu Village, and Wei Lai alone had dozens of them.
The Five Ghosts Death Array, is the formation on the yellow scroll, the forty-nine green coins are arranged according to the pattern of the formation, and the number of Dayan is formed around the glazed pendant, it is said that the number of Dayan is fifty, and only forty-nine of them are used. And according to the number of Dayan, Liuli Pei is the final consummation thing, and it is the key to the activation of the formation.
The placement of the green money can not be the slightest mistake, Wei Lai is worried about his life, every time he puts a green coin, it will be compared with the formation of the yellow scroll, when the forty-nine green coins are placed, Wei Lai picked up the prepared black dog blood, starting from the birth gate, falling down along the placement pattern of the green money, and then stopping at the door of death, and soon forming a mysterious texture.
The glazed jade pendant was placed in the center, Wei Lai sprinkled the remaining black dog blood on the jade pendant, and when everything was completed, the entire formation was completely activated, and the viscous black dog blood flowed on its own, and the forty-nine green coins shook more than once.
"Thank goodness for having a show." Wei Lai's face showed joy, and he maintained a skeptical attitude towards the yellow scroll, but at this time, Wei Lai was completely relieved.
The green money was beating more and more, the blue light emitted by the glazed jade pendant was getting brighter and brighter, and around the altar, there was a faint deep roar, which seemed to gather many remnant souls.
"Damn, there's more and more unclean stuff, I need to move quickly." Wei Lai trembled, picked up the basin containing the boy's urine, and walked towards the black coffin of the five ghosts.
The boy's urine is a pure yang thing, not contaminated by any yin energy, and has the effect of warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters.
Wei Lai was bold, swallowed nervously and spit, and was about to pick up the boy's urine and pour it in, only to see the female ghost in the sarcophagus suddenly open her eyes, her empty eyes did not have any pupils, and there was an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, looking directly at herself.
"When."
Wei Lai took a few steps back, and the entire basin of boy's urine was sprinkled on the ground, and the basin rolled out far away.
Wei Lai's scalp was numb, his heart was frightened, his face was even pale, and he fell to the ground trembling as soon as his feet were soft, and his teeth kept chattering up and down.
Wei Lai sat in place in a daze, his head blank, only the miserable white face of the female ghost remained, especially the evil smile and empty eyes, which kept appearing in his mind.
At this time, the sarcophagus shook, and the female ghost inside tried to get up, but the glazed jade pendant was more green, and the forty-nine green coins flipped and jumped, and the female ghost was restrained by a force and suppressed in the sarcophagus and could not move.
