Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yin and Yang Talisman (2) (End of this Volume)
Xiang Feng and I followed Master out of the town until we arrived at a wheat field in the south of the town. Fengyang Town is very close to the urban area, the transportation is convenient, relatively developed, the town now uses harvesters to cut wheat, so the wheat field has been idle, and has not been contracted to cultivate or build a house at present. The moonlight shone down, and it was a large bare patch. The reason why Master chose this place is because he is afraid that once this yin and yang charm is 'activated', it will harm innocent animals or plants and other living beings...
"Master, I'll go with Ah Feng to fetch a bucket of well water."
"Hmm..."
I carried the bucket and the wind and continued south, to the well where we used to make the talismans, and returned to the wheat field, only to see that the master had taken out all the talismans and stacked them on the ground in the shape of a small pyramid, which looked black.
Master took out two talismans for self-protection and ordered me and Xiang Feng to put them in his arms. Then he scooped the well water with a scoop and poured it down from the top of the 'pyramid', and when he had finished pouring a bucket of water, the master turned the bucket upside down and fastened it to the talismans.
Standing up, the master first looked up at the moon, then looked at the time on the watch, pinched his fingers and calculated the fall of the eight gates, and used the talisman to seal the remaining six gates except for the two gates of life and death, that is, the six directions on the periphery of the wheat field. As for me and Xiang Feng, one stands in the dead door position and the other stands in the birth gate position.
After standing still, the master burned incense and paper, worshiped the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth respectively, straightened his clothes, and said, "You two close your eyes, stand still, if you feel that there is some force against you, you must not use your mind to fight against that power, otherwise, not only will you not be able to resist, but your soul may be sucked out..."
Since I couldn't see with my eyes, I didn't know what Master was doing, and I could only hear the sound of stepping and chanting. After more than ten minutes like this, I suddenly had an indescribable, strange feeling, and when I was startled, I heard all the dogs in the town bark...
As Master stopped drinking, I felt an inexplicable aura surging in front of me... As Master said, I didn't dare to move, nor did I dare to compete with that aura, and my body was hot and cold, and I was extremely uncomfortable. When I was about to lose my torment, I heard a 'bang', and the aura disappeared. After a moment, Master said, it's okay. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the bucket was in pieces, and those talismans were scattered everywhere...
Master wrapped two of these black charcoal-like talismans in talisman paper, handed them to me and Xiang Feng, and put the rest away, wrapped them in three layers inside and three layers outside, and put several layers of plastic bags on the outside and put them in the bag.
"This kind of talisman is too powerful, one person is enough to bring one, bring too much, in case one is not careful, it will hurt yourself. This is what Boss Wan did with his own life, and its value is immeasurable, so take good care of it..."Master said.
"Hmm..."
I nodded. Such a small piece of talisman is heavy in your hand. Regarding this talisman, the master said that there are several ways to use it, and then teach us one by one, if it is usually used to deal with ordinary ghosts, it does not need to be like a lonely void talisman or something, you need to rely on the spell to stimulate its power, and you can use it directly from the rune paper bag. On the way back, the master explained to us again, in general, don't take out this kind of talisman easily, especially at night, when you take it out and use it, you must first put a talisman in your arms...
The next day, Master, Xiang Feng, and the three of us went to the city. That Xiao Jiu is still the same, he doesn't wake up, and he has to rely on the people arranged by Zhu Bin to feed him every day, so he can barely save his life, and the master is helpless, and he doesn't know how to save him.
"Master..."On the way back, I said, "According to the vicious woman who eats people in the ghost building, once, when she had a tryst with Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu answered the phone, and then went to the villa area on the outskirts of the city, I think... Xiao Jiu may have had a relationship with Yuxin's father and his gang. If Yuxin is really Ling Xiao of Boss Ling's daughter, according to Wanjin... Uncle Wan said that when Ling Xiao was seriously ill, the Sichuan mage once went to treat her, and then later, Ling Xiao died, and a person who looked exactly like Ling Xiao appeared in another family's house, named Yuxin... I think that Yuxin's father and that mage are in the same group, and the disappearance of Boss Ling and the disappearance of that building should also have an indirect relationship with him. In other words, Yuxin's father is also a member of that group of 'evil forces'. Now, that mage is dead, and the only person with a clue on his body, Xiao Jiu, is unconscious, so..."
"What does Leng Er want to say?" Master asked.
"If we want to investigate that 'evil force', let's start with Yuxin's father..."After a pause, I said, "I want Yuxin to take me to that villa tomorrow to explore..."
Xiang Feng and Master both frowned at the same time, I smiled and said, "Don't worry, if the situation is not right, I will naturally have a way to get out..."
Although Master and Xiang Feng are more skilled than me, they are far inferior to me in terms of cunning and eloquence, so this kind of work is none other than me.
Master pondered for a moment and said, "It's fine to take a look, but you have to be careful..."
"Hmm..."
After dinner, I called Yuxin to the courtyard alone.
"Why are you so mysterious, can't you say anything in the house?" Yuxin asked.
"Hmm," I bit my lip, "Yuxin." ”
"Huh? … Oh, why did you always run to Taihang Mountain, and it became so grinding, what's the matter, just say it..."Yu Xin said with a smile.
I smiled, "Well, I want you, take me to your father tomorrow." ”
Yuxin was stunned, "Why?" ”
"That..."
"Did you tell Sister Xing?" Yuxin's face was flat.
"I'll tell her later."
"Then what are you doing with my father?"
"That's it..."
Yu Xin sighed, "Forget it, I don't ask you, there are still unspeakable hidden, you say go, then go, but if my father shows you a face, it's none of my business." I'm going back to my room to rest, you hurry up and tell Sister Xing..."
Looking at the back of Yuxin leaving, my heart was a little blocked.
The next day, Yuxin and I went to the villa area, however, there was only one maid in the villa where Yuxin's father lived. The maid said that the master had gone out a few days ago and had not returned... Yuxin called the person named Xiaozhuang, but she couldn't get through at all. In this case, we can only go back and wait.
In the blink of an eye, Wanjin Mountain is over seven. Early in the morning, the master put a few finished paper figures into the trunk of the car, and all of us went to the county seat of Mr. Yang's house, and then teamed up with Xiaoqing and Mr. Yang, brought tribute and paper ties, and came to the old execution ground where Wanjin Mountain died.
Under the gloomy sky, the wild grass was rustling in the wind, like a person crying. Paper ash flutters in the sky, and sparks are like the twinkling eyes of a revenant...
Several people stood silently for a while facing the mound, the place where Wanjin Mountain settled, and then bowed deeply a few times under the leadership of the master...
When I ate at Mr. Yang's house at noon, the atmosphere was very solemn.
"Eat, why are you stunned, Jinshan definitely doesn't want to see us all like this..."Old man Yang said, "Eat, eat!" ”
"That's it, eat!"
Uncle Yang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a crab, opened his mouth and bit it, making a very funny look that had been caught in his teeth, which caused everyone to laugh, and finally diluted the sad atmosphere a lot.
After returning from Taihang Mountain, I told Chenxing about Xiao Shan's alliance with Wanjin Mountain, etc. Therefore, except for Yuxin's life experience, there is nothing else to avoid talking about.
When we were almost eating and drinking, Master said, "We can't wait any longer, we have to find a way to break the curse as soon as possible." Otherwise, when the time comes to eat all the food prepared by the villagers in the nameless mountain village, they will all starve to death. ”
Except for Xiaoqing, everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at Master.
"But how do you crack it? We don't know where to start, Master...".
Master thought for a moment and looked at Old Man Yang, "I've always had a question..."
"Master Zhang, please speak." Old Man Yang said.
"Back then, all of you Yang family members were cursed, why are you okay?"
Their Yang family, if they don't burn it after death, they will become evil, but Xiaoqing's grandfather didn't burn it when he died, but he didn't do anything at all...
Old Man Yang frowned, "This... I don't know very well, didn't you analyze it at the beginning, but when my father was alive, he secretly broke the curse of our family's lineage? ”
"No," said the Master, "Old man, let me say something, don't be angry, but I'm also speculating..."
"It's okay, you say."
Master looked at Old Man Yang, "Because your clansmen united and buried your grandfather alive back then, I suspect that your father was directly or indirectly cursed by him out of revenge, so your clansmen have all fallen under the curse, but your family is fine..."
"Ahh Old Man Yang's eyes widened.
"Old man."
"Huh?"
"Think about it," said the Master, "when your father was alive, did he know any outsiders from Sichuan or anywhere?" ”
"Sichuan?"
Old Man Yang didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now, he was stunned for a while, and nodded.
"Yes, when my father was young, he went to Sichuan, and there were a few old friends there, but they couldn't be contacted. When I was selling antiques, I also made many trips to Sichuan..."
"Then do you know Xiao Shan?" I asked.
"Huh?" Old Man Yang shook his head, "I've heard Wan Jinshan mention it, but I haven't seen that person..."
"Uncle, don't be under pressure, my master just speculated..."
"Even if my cousin did it, I don't blame him, and it has nothing to do with you." Uncle Yang said.
Uncle Yang and I were relieved, and the old man drank several cups of tea before finally coming back to his senses.
"Uncle, I'll ask you again."
"You say."
"If you were asked to go to Sichuan again now and find someone who had business dealings with you back then, would you still be able to find it?"
"If I hadn't moved, I would have found it."
"Hmm." I said, "Master, let's just go to Sichuan and see if we can find the person who assigned the Master to Uncle Wan's side through the old man's network..."
"I thought so too." Master said.
"Who's going to do that?"
"Sichuan is my hometown, of course I will go." Xiang Feng said.
"When it comes to my father-in-law Xiao Shan, I'll go too." Morningstar Road.
I gently lifted Morningstar's shoulder and looked at Yuxin, just in time, she also looked at me. I said in my heart, Yuxin is not safe to stay alone, and it is in vain to expect Uncle Yang to protect her, so I can't stay with Yuxin...
"Let's all go, let's go together." Master said.
"Then I'll go too!" Xiaoqing put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.
"What are you going to do?" Uncle Yang's face was flat.
"I... I..."
Chenxing smiled slightly, "Okay, Sister Qing will go too." ”
"It's better to be a star girl..."
"Let's just do it." Old man Yang said, "Don't go back, just stay at my house, what you need to bring, I will prepare, and we will leave tomorrow..."
