Chapter 4, Hundred Family Money and Artemisia Grass
My mother obeyed Li Feng's instructions and covered my straw mat with mugwort grass, and kneaded two pieces, which occupied my eyebrows all the time.
The money I bought from the beggar's pocket, folded into many triangles, let me take it with me.
At first, we didn't know what these two things were for, but it was a long time before I learned the wonderful use of these two things from Li Feng's mouth.
Artemisia grass is actually used to ward off ghosts. Have you noticed, or perhaps, that there is such a custom around you? When the newborn child of every family is not yet full moon, there will be a bunch of walnuts, grapefruit leaves, and mugwort leaves hanging at the door. Grapefruit leaves and walnuts are things that ward off evil spirits and wash away filth. As long as there is a place for mugwort, ghosts will not be able to find their way and will not be able to see you.
As for the money bought from the beggar's pocket, there is even more such as a hundred family money. When people give money to beggars, they give not only money, but also kindness in their hearts. This seems to be a few tattered cents, a few dollars, but it contains the goodwill of hundreds of schools. With this money, you can protect yourself with the help of the power of hundreds of schools.
Of course, I only found out about it later. Before that, we only knew the surface, not the inside. It's just that what Li Feng says, my mother does what she does.
It's strange to say, according to Li Feng's method, in the next day, not only did I have a much better fever, but I didn't have nightmares, let alone dream of my sister.
Three days later, Li Feng arrived as promised.
This time, Li Feng gave me a great subversion in terms of image. He wore a graying robe, with a gossip pattern in the middle of the robe, which was completely different from the dirty image I had when I first met him.
After Li Feng arrived, he first chatted with my mother and asked about the situation in the past few days.
Immediately after, he pulled out a few things from the bag. A white flag, as well as longevity money, paper money. and a few spells, what made me feel strange was that the charms that Li Feng took out were all written on white paper and black ink, which were fundamentally different from what I usually knew.
Of course, I can't blame my ignorance, it's just that the charms of the Yinshan sect are more magical than those of other sects, and they are all written in white paper and ink, or yellow paper and ink, and very few use cinnabar. This is also the characteristic of the Yin Mountain Talisman, which is extremely heavy on yin and jealous of yang.
Anyway, after Li Feng finished eating at my house, he asked my mother to bring a brazier and burned Shoujin and Five Ghost Money in it. After that, Li Feng put the white flag upside down again, took out the five charms, pasted them on the ground, and formed a circle.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, and said something in his mouth: "I invite God to incarnate and turn into a city god to help him............ Before the Yin soldiers of the five directions came quickly, I was ordered by the Lord of Yin Mountain"
As soon as the words fell, I suddenly felt a little chill all over my body, and there seemed to be something more in the room, which was a vague feeling, and this feeling would also appear whenever I passed by the Gangzi Tomb.
At this time, I saw some shadows standing on the white talisman on the ground. I didn't look carefully, but Li Feng put away the white talisman, walked into the room where I slept, removed things like mugwort on the bed, lifted the mat, and hid the five talismans under the straw mat where I slept.
He said to my mother: "Okay, now I have transferred the five Yin soldiers to guard it, tonight, as long as Haisheng lies on this bed, he will definitely be safe and sound." ”
"Dao Chief, if it is not a last resort, I beg you not to hurt my poor daughter, after all, it was all my fault" The mother paused for a while, and said to Li Feng hesitantly
Li Feng waved his hand: "I have my own measure." ”
This night, Li Feng stayed at my house.
The night is getting deeper. The sky is very dark tonight, and the wind blowing from the window is not cool, and it makes people's hearts very depressed. The old window creaked, and the half-human-high weeds outside the window squeaked.
Tonight, it was a night when the power went out, and the light bulb at the bedside was gone, so I had to sleep with candles lit in the house. I don't know why, lying in bed, I think of my sister who has left this world before I have met, my sister who pesters me every night, what does she want her to pay back? Body? Since the day I hit the girl, after listening to the story told by my mother, I was very uncomfortable when I was young, and I felt that my sister was really pitiful.
Suddenly, a ridiculous idea came to my head. I wondered, I don't know what that heaven is like, when I get there, I don't have to suffer from other people's eyes, I don't have to be pointed at my head and say I'm a broom star, and there are many, many friends to play with me. If my sister's role were reversed with me, would it be much better than me?
I was just thinking like this, and I couldn't get myself to sleep anyway. I felt as if there was someone next to me, but I couldn't see or touch it. Maybe I'm different from others, I can always feel something strange since I was a child, although I can't see it.
There was a whew, the window thumped, and the candle went out with a whoosh. That familiar sense of panic came again. I know, she's coming, my sister is coming, and every time my sister comes, I feel that way. Only this time, my heart became very calm, very flat, and I seemed to feel that everything didn't matter to me. I only live to suffer, and if it weren't for my mother, maybe I wouldn't have the courage to survive at all.
As I expected, in the blink of an eye, my sister stood not far from my bedside, and we looked at each other quietly, but I could not see her clearly.
"Ah......" A panicked scream, this panic was not made by me, but by my sister standing aside. On my bed, there seemed to be some cyan shadows, green and blue, like gas, and rushed towards my sister, who seemed to be scuffling with my sister.
"Don't hit my sister!" Hearing that shout, I suddenly felt a wave of heartache in my heart. It's like I'm watching my mom being bullied, it's heartbreaking, it's uncomfortable.
In an instant, I made an unexpected decision, quickly opened the mat and tore the charm under the mat.
When the spell was torn by me, the blue shadows disappeared, and I saw my sister walking towards me, and as she approached, I felt colder and colder, and my head became more and more dizzy!
"Feng Yin Mountain Grand Master, the Ghost Power King's edict, the Yin soldiers of the five directions turn into Yin and thunder......" Li Feng seemed to be magical, came out of a corner, shouted this thing in his mouth, and slammed my sister with a palm in the void.
At this time, my body became colder and colder, and I slowly closed my eyes. The last scene I saw was the robe on Li Feng's body, covering my sister's body.
I don't know how long it took, I seemed to have a long dream, I dreamed that there was a girl, she was smiling at me, her eyes, like my sister's pairs, I thought, everything is over, from now on, no one can bully me anymore, I thought I was going to die, but I have no resentment in my heart, some are just happy. Before I died, I knew that I was not alone, and that I had an older sister, my own sister.
I thought it was all over, but the next day, I woke up again, and when I woke up, I saw my mother standing anxiously aside, and Li Feng looked at me with a gloomy face.
"Mom, what's wrong with me" My head hurt very much, and I rubbed it vigorously a few times. Suddenly, I remembered my sister and the scene I saw when I passed out.
"Mom, sister! Where is she......" Pulling my mother's sleeve, I asked her anxiously, and when I saw Li Feng's gloomy face on the side, I shrank back again.
"Dao Chief......!" The mother turned her head, but she also wanted to say something.
"No need to ask, she's here" Li Feng took out a small puppet from his pocket and placed it in front of my mother and son. The appearance of this puppet is very cute, it is a girl's, and outside this puppet, there is a small red dress, take a closer look, isn't this the one Li Feng wore yesterday? On the clothes, there is a little gossip!
"Dao Chief...... This is? "Looking at the puppet, my mother and I were puzzled.
Li Feng sighed: "That's it, that's it, it's a period of cause and effect after all, I don't want to accept apprentices, but I'm destined to still have to accept it!" ”
