"Are you Taoist priests really that powerful?" I asked Tong Hetu, it is very difficult to catch him once, and now he will come back once a year after living in Hong Kong for a long time, and the probability of seeing him at that special time will be relatively large.

He is still the same as when he was a child, and his conversations with me are always so realistic, just like others, he looks like a harmless person and an animal.

Shaking the wine in the cup, it was home-brewed corn roast, a few yuan a catty, there is a workshop in the village that has been doing this for decades, in Hetu's words, it is still a familiar admiration, or a familiar taste.

For the sake of drinking, his master beat him a lot, this kid is good at everything, only good wine used to drink, and he drank it secretly.

"I don't paint very well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it's far worse than my master's."

He drank much better than me, and I was always in a state of half-drunkenness when I talked to him, and when he saw that I was interested, he simply dipped his finger in the glass of wine and drew it for me on the table, saying: "You see, the things I paint belong to the tangible and godless, and the appearance often does not get the essence of the inside, and in today's words, it can only be regarded as a high imitation; Second, I don't have his big seal, you have watched the TV series, that is, those generals in costume dramas can mobilize thousands of troops with tiger talismans in their hands. ”

I've seen this, and the usual plot is when the emperor gives a general who is about to go on an expedition, or a general sends a tiger talisman to someone under his command, and through this talisman you can mobilize the army.

"In fact, the Taoist priests draw talismans are very similar to their truth, the soldiers in this army are recognizant tiger talismans do not recognize people, who has a talisman in hand, who can give orders, there must be no mistakes, violators of military law. Therefore, there is often a group of people on TV who fight to the death in order to compete for the tiger talisman that symbolizes military power. The same is true of the Taoist priest's talisman, I don't care what level of Taoist priest you are, and I don't care if you are a Taoist priest or not, as long as you can draw it, you can mobilize the ability of the land Lao'er and the Da Luo Jin Xian. In fact, this talisman was not issued by a Taoist priest, but was given to a Taoist priest by a god. It's like the emperor gave the tiger talisman to his generals, and the general just used the talisman to dispatch the army, and in the original sense, the army still belongs to the emperor alone. ”

I used to think that the talisman was a kind of magic of the Taoist priest, but later I realized that the talisman was actually a proof.

It's an agreement between some kind of Taoist priest and the god in their hearts, as long as you show this certificate, the divine power can be used by you.

Therefore, later I understood a truth, those all kinds of talismans are like countless immortals in legends, if you believe in them, then it may be useful, if you don't believe in them, it will naturally be useless...... Cha Wenbin's talisman, the base of each rune paper is to be printed first, and he has a large seal, which is engraved with several seals "Heavenly Master Daobao"

The four big characters usually have to be wrapped in a bright yellow brocade handkerchief, and they don't leave an inch.

Besides, the gatekeeper on the door on that day was "swishing"

The street lights outside the courtyard flickered a few times and then all went out, and the nightlife of Shanghai Tang at that time was not as lively as it is now, and no one cared about the street lights outside this old house.

The big with its comb cut off was now honest, curled up on the steps behind the gate, half-drooping his head and neck as if he had lost a battle.

Cha Wenbin held the lantern with half-squinted eyes, the door of the inner room was open, and he didn't see anything, he was like an old slave of someone else, he shook the edge of his pants slightly, put a hand behind him and gently turned into the house.

What does the yin look like?

If I'm not mistaken, I've seen it, unlike the black-and-white impermanence with its long tongue on TV, they don't have long pointed hats on their heads, and they don't have any mourning sticks in their hands, just a hazy shadow.

By the brazier in the house, Cha Wenbin was silent, and the lantern was hung aside to add some paper money to the basin.

There were cow tears in his eyes, this thing is not easy to get, yesterday afternoon the custodian went to the cattle slaughterhouse to get it, and the old ox fell to his knees before he died, and he took it back in a small bottle.

This thing is not recommended to imitate, one is unhygienic, it is easy to infect your eyes, and the second, after painting, it is easy to see some things that you usually can't see, and there is a shadow in your heart.

It's not the first time he's dealing with the imps, and he mutters and burns paper while muttering, which is nothing more than asking those old men to take care of the people who are going to be taken away tonight, and promising the other party some benefits.

If it is usual, this yin difference will never stay in the house longer, they belong to the extreme yin things, this yang house is originally lived by the living, and staying for a long time will make the living uncomfortable in the future.

Usually if someone in a family dies, they will feel that the house is very cold for about half a year after the death, especially the place where the coffin is parked.

The dead in the city are generally placed in the hospital morgue or funeral home, and the throat is mostly in the hospital bed, but in the countryside, almost all of them are in their own homes, which is why the dead in the countryside are more noisy than in the city.

Those two guys don't seem to be going to go tonight, Cha Wenbin got up and scattered a few handfuls of paper money, sang a few little songs, and thought to himself I'm urging you to leave quickly, the damn thing to take away is in the coffin.

There are two little ghosts in total, one seems to be looking around the room, and the other is taking things that belong to them, and they seem to be quite satisfied with Cha Wenbin's contribution.

This is all high-quality paper, under normal circumstances, there are four types of paper: gold paper, silver paper, god paper, and paper money.

In the past, gold paper was used to worship the gods, and the emperors and priests had to use gold paper.

Silver paper can be used to tie ingots, rich people use it to priests, ancestors and worship gods and ghosts, and the kind of yellow paper used by ordinary people is the most ordinary paper money, every Qingming Festival or something is not less burned.

Divine paper is rare, and it is also the most mysterious, only some very special places will be used, and there are fewer and fewer people who will make divine paper, once I and Hetu saw a five-color paper when the Cha family rebelled, which was depicted with almost exquisite patterns, and the kid said that it was divine paper, and it was stolen by me and him to make a kite.

Tonight, Cha Wenbin deliberately used gold paper and silver paper, especially gold paper, which was pasted with gold leaf, and the two boys with big ingots were full of arms, and the ordinary paper money was even more flying.

The incense used is invited from the Shanghai City God Temple, and the housekeeper specially asked for their abbot master, the top grade produced in Yunnan, known as the fairy smell, and the walking stand is unstable.

This good word was also said, the money was given, and Cha Wenbin thought that his attitude had arrived, so he had the courage to pick up the evil bell and shook it crisply: "The coffin is raised in front of the filial piety hall, and the altar of the protector of the Dharma is on both sides; First of all, please Marshal Zhao of the Black Tiger to raise the whip and cut the pass to ensure safety; The door god guards are divided into left and right, and there are twenty-eight treasure coffins; This is not a place to stop, take a walk in the West of the dead! ”

He shouted the coffin curse, which means that the dead are going to be buried, urging those two little ghosts to take people away quickly, I'm going to be busy.

Cha Wenbin stood at the door with a lantern, that is, it was a send-off, the little ghost didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, he looked back, good guy, a little ghost seemed to be walking towards the stairs...... Little ghosts are not lonely ghosts who like to wander, there are strict rules about when they come out and when they leave, just like we clock in and out of work.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and never stay until the fifth watch, which is very punctual, according to the folk saying, there will be no error in the book of life and death accurate to the hour.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Cha Wenbin hurriedly turned around, he was still very good at that time, and gritted his teeth and took out a five-colored colorful paper in his arms.

But don't underestimate this kind of paper money, not to mention how complicated its craftsmanship is, as far as I know, the existing divine paper will not be more than the real works left by Tang Bohu.

To be exact, it is not ordinary paper money at all, it is enough to have a table that is large but thin as a cicada's wings, folded with almost no weight, and exudes a mysterious fragrance all over the body.

Have you ever seen the royalty?

It's the appearance of a full page of RMB before it was cut, and this thing is a full page.

Cha Wenbin carefully tore off the midterm one and shook it, and sure enough, the two little ghosts were instantly attracted with wide eyes.

I've played with that thing, and each page is composed of about ten sheets of paper, and each paper is printed with a colorful pattern, similar to the ancient silver stamps of the past, and there must be a stamp.

There are three versions of this kind of divine paper in Tianzheng Dao, which is said to have been stolen by the ancestor Ling Zhengyang from a thousand-year-old Taoist temple somewhere, and the version that Cha Wenbin is now holding has been used up half, and there are only five left.

This person has their own unique way of communicating with the little ghost, that is, the Taoist priest recites the scriptures, ordinary people can't understand it at all, and it is called ghost talk.

Cha Wenbin actually didn't understand nonsense, he didn't even understand what he meant by reading those scriptures at that time, but this person is the same as a ghost, see money and open his eyes, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, Cha Wenbin waved the thing, pointed to the coffin and pointed to the door.

At this comparison, the two little ghosts were also shocked, thinking that this mortal could still recognize us?

Good guy, then try it, one of them took the lead, that is, the one who wanted to go upstairs pointed upstairs, probably meaning that he wanted to take a look.

Cha Wenbin hurriedly made another gesture, pointed to the coffin and the clock on the wall, and told the other party that the time had come, and it would be unlucky not to leave.

Actually, goblins, goblins, goblins, ghosts are much smarter than humans, and they can't see that there's something wrong in this coffin.

That little ghost rolled his eyes and stretched out two fingers at Cha Wenbin, what do you mean?

Dude, I have two brothers here, how can we divide your magic paper?

Yes, Cha Wenbin understands now, he met two greedy people today, and he asked for money, so give it, this is the first time he has done business with a ghost.

As the saying goes, with the first time, there is a second time, and in the days to come, he will be used to dealing with imps, so the dojo is even more prosperous.

As soon as the two pieces of divine paper were burned, the fragrance of the room was so strong that he was going to smoke himself, and the two little ghosts were even more happy.

What is it?

It was used by the emperor and the priest heaven and earth, how could they be qualified to use this thing at that level, and when they checked out with us ordinary people, it was originally RMB, but now the other party directly gives you two pigeon-sized diamonds.

Sure enough, I saw one of the little ghosts holding a chain-like thing in his hand and waving it towards the coffin, and a woman-like shadow "floated" from the coffin

came out.

When escorting the woman away, the two little ghosts kept squeezing their eyebrows with Cha Wenbin, looking like they were happy, and when they sent these two gods out, Cha Wenbin completely collapsed to the ground, he had just finished the first stubble, and the second stubble was waiting for him......
