Yin and Yang Charms
Xiang Feng and I didn't even have rain gear, so we hurried into the car.
The old execution ground mentioned by Wan Jinshan should be the place where I took Morning Star over and robbed Old Man Yang. But what did Wan Jinshan go there for? … This old bastard, I don't know what kind of conspiracy and tricks he is engaged in, people's hearts are unpredictable, judging from the various performances of Wan Jinshan, we thought that he really changed his ways... It seems that Wanjin Mountain is paralyzing us and making us lose our vigilance, this old bastard, the city is not ordinary deep, all in all, we are too negligent, too careless, alas...
I drove the car in a cranky way, and drove towards the east of the county.
Heavy rain poured down, and the whole county looked gloomy. From time to time, there are passers-by, running on the sidewalk, in the rain curtain, the figure looms, like a ghost.
Finally out of the county seat, came to the intersection of the small road heading east. As soon as we stopped the car and jumped out of it, the two of us rushed onto the path. When they came to the place where the path bent, the clothes on the two men had been soaked by the heavy rain.
The last time I visited, the vegetable sheds, clinker cloths, and shelves that I had seen with Morning Star had been removed. Dark clouds covered the sky, the vegetables in the field swayed in the rain, and the leaves looked black. Looking eastward, you can vaguely see the mound that towers over the old execution ground...
"That's the mound." I pointed into the distance.
The muscles in Xiang Feng's cheeks tensed, and he waved his hand 'Hula', "Go!" ”
We walked around the vegetable patch and headed east. As I walked, I suddenly thought that Wan Jinshan and Master had made an oath at the beginning, if the fighting method was lost and the agreement was not fulfilled, then, Thor would find himself, could it... My heart was pounding in my chest... Could it be that the reason why Wan Jinshan came here was to cast a spell to break the 'curse' on his body? As for him asking me to come over with Ah Feng, I don't know what his idea is, maybe he wants to take advantage of us...
Thinking of this, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly grabbed Xiang Feng, "Be careful, I don't think this old ghost is well-intentioned!" ”
"Hmm..."
As the two of us cautiously approached the edge of the old execution ground, the rain had subsided. The sky 'boomed' with thunder, and lightning hung down from the canopy of the sky, like a messy branch of a branched tree. In the far sky to the west behind me, the dark clouds broke through a gap, and the afterglow of the setting sun came through the gap, pulling me and the shadow of the wind long, and the mound was painted with a layer of blood red, which looked quite strange...
Looking up, we saw Wanjin Mountain, sitting cross-legged on the top of the mound, looking at us motionlessly, and I didn't know what we were holding in our hands...
I withdrew my gaze and swept towards the wasteland below the mound, but I didn't find anything abnormal, I didn't feel anything wrong with my aura, so I shouted at Wanjin Mountain, "Hey, what do you want to do when you come here to pretend to be a ghost?" …”
There was a thunderclap that swallowed my voice, and the earth trembled.
Wanjin Mountain still didn't move, and after the thunder, he looked up at the sky, and then smiled at us.
"What are you laughing at?!" I asked angrily.
Wan Jinshan didn't answer, looked at me kindly, and then looked at Xiang Feng. I was bewildered by what he looked at.
"Good boy...", Wan Jinshan finally spoke, but such a sentence came out, and he heard his voice hoarse, "You two just stand there, don't go any further..."
I was stunned, "Why?" ”
"Lest you wait..."Wan Jinshan said slowly, "the lightning strikes down and hurts you..."
Lightning strike... Suddenly, I seemed to realize something...
"What lightning strike?" I blurted out.
Wan Jinshan didn't answer, he smiled again, and then, with a smile on his face like that, his eyes swept in all directions.
"I don't decide to turn myself in, so as not to drag others down..."Wan Jinshan said, "I will break the agreement I made with your master and let Thor take me away." Let this place of execution be my burial place..."
A flash of lightning swept past, and the thunder that split the sky and the earth shook my body.
"You—" I felt like my mind was a little blank, "Are you crazy?" Such... You're going to be gone! ”
"I just want to let my soul fly away, because..."Wan Jinshan's voice sounded a little choked, "I want to give you a big gift, a big gift, with my broken bones and ashes, my soul is scattered, the big gift I made..."
"A big gift?"
Wan Jinshan raised the thing in his hand, and I saw clearly that it was a wooden plank, a very thick plank...
"I'm going to give you a material to make a talisman so that you can make a talisman that is many times more powerful than the one that deals with evil spirits... In ancient times, craftsmen forged swords, and did not hesitate to jump into the furnace with themselves, and finally cast a peerless sword like the cadre Mo Ye, and I Wanjin Mountain also want to follow the example of the ancients, and use my body to die, and my scattered soul is attached to this wooden board for you to make a powerful talisman..."
"No, you can't! …”
"Hold him!"
I was about to rush towards the mound and was dragged by the wind.
I exclaimed, "No! Uncle Wan! …”
"What do you call me?"
"Ten thousand... Uncle Wan..."
"Hehe..."Wan Jinshan smiled, his eyes closed, and tears slid down, "Xiao Leng, thank you for letting me hear the words 'Uncle Wan' before I died, good boy, Uncle Wan is also blinded when he dies... Tell your Master, Uncle Wan will not have an afterlife, and you can't be friends with him anymore, so let him take care... Thank you for taking care of me these days and making me feel the warmth I have never tasted in my life. It was you who brought me back to my lost nature. Don't be sad, I've done too many sins before, this is the end I deserve, carry forward the magic and eliminate the demons..."
As he spoke, Wan Jinshan jerked the wooden board into his arms and stood up with a 'whew'.
"Uncle Wan! …”
Wan Jinshan lifted his right foot and took a step, and then followed with his left foot and took another step, after five steps in a row, Wan Jinshan turned around in a circle, raised his head at the 'brush', and hissed at the gloomy sky, "Dad, did you see it?!" See?! Jin Shan is the same as my fox brother and third brother, I didn't embarrass you! No shame on you! …”
"Uncle Wan! …”
Wan Jinshan pinched a sword finger in his right hand, and pointed to the sky. Those clouds shook suddenly, and then quickly condensed into a whirlpool, and then, a huge lightning bolt, 'brushing', struck down from the center of the whirlpool, and hit Wanjin Mountain... With a thunderclap that shook the sky, my eyes went black and I fainted...
When Xiang Feng and I dragged mud and water back to Old Man Yang's house, it was already late at night. The rain stopped, the wind stopped, there was a faint thunder rumbling, and the electric light was faintly flowing in the distant sky.
When several people saw the two of us, they were all frightened, and asked in unison, "What's wrong with you, where is Wanjin Mountain?" ”
I closed my eyes in pain, shook my head, and cautiously took out a cloth bag from my arms... Wanjin Mountain was destroyed by the lightning, and Xiang Feng and I only picked up a few pieces of his bones, wrapped them in cloth, and brought them back. As for the plank, it was very intact, showing a black ink-like color, faintly revealing a warm luster, and as soon as I took out the plank, I scared Mr. Yang's black cat and jumped out...
Wan Jinshan is right, he didn't embarrass Xu Shixu Xiangqian, no matter how many evil things he has done, but at the last moment of his life, he exuded a huge brilliance of human nature, which is enough to atone for him, he is more tragic than his elder brother Lao Hu, his younger brother Gao Laosan, and his death...
I can't help but wonder in my heart, Xu Xiangqian, Lao Hu, Wan Jinshan, Gao Laosan, their father and son, none of them died well, why did all this? …
The next day, when we returned to Master's house, we saw Master sitting in the living room with red eyes, looking like he hadn't slept all night.
"Boss Wan is dead, right?" Master asked.
I was stunned for a moment, "Master, have you already figured it out?" ”
"No, I don't have a fortune test...", the master said, "I talked with me for nearly a night the night before, and he told me that if he turned himself in, it would drag down Old Man Yang, and that he had committed a relatively big case, and he would inevitably die anyway, so he decided to decide on his own... I respected his ideas and decisions, and in order not to hinder him, I did not go with you to the feast..."
I nodded, and my heart said, I see.
When I took the plank out, Master twisted his eyebrows and stood up.
"What is this?"
"It's... Uncle Wan used his own death to do it for us..."
After listening to me tell what happened and Wan Jinshan's last words, Master stared at the wooden board in a daze, and his eyes turned red a little.
After a while, Master turned around, stared out the window, took a deep breath and said, "Leng'er..."
"Huh?"
"Give the bones of your Uncle Wan to our house, and from now on, incense will be incense in the morning and evening."
"Hmm..."
Three days later, it is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the day of the full moon. It took the master a whole day to divide the wooden board into small pieces, and then carved a charm on each piece.
After dinner in the evening, I asked, "Master, are you going to make a talisman tonight?" ”
"Not bad."
"What charm?"
Master smiled bitterly, "I haven't figured out the name of this talisman specifically, in short, it is an extremely powerful yin-yang talisman." ”
"Yin and Yang Talisman?"
"Hmm..."
This wooden board is yang wood, struck by lightning, for the yang, can be made like the lonely void rune like the yang rune, but this plank absorbs the soul of Wanjin Mountain, so the yang is yin, the soul belongs to the yin, and the dead soul is the yin. The fusion of yin and yang, once made into a talisman, will be a kind of good and evil thing, not only feared by ghosts, but also feared by gods...
"Once this talisman is made, when it is not used at that time, it must be tightly wrapped in talisman paper, especially at night, it is very powerful, don't take it out easily, otherwise it may hurt innocent creatures..."
At the moment, although this talisman has been engraved, it has not yet been activated, and even so, the master sent the little fox to the neighbor's house early in the morning.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Master got up and said, "Let's go..."
