Chapter Thirty-Eight
Zhang Yuan said that the genius of the year led countless Taoists to attack the underworld, and as a result, everyone was cursed and became ghost slaves.
As I lay in bed, I couldn't help but think of a saying: "If you don't die, you won't die." "
I couldn't help but sigh. said: "Those people don't know what to do, they have made mistakes, why should they be put on us? "
Zhang Yuan sighed and did not make a sound. After a while, he said slowly, "I want to get my daughter out." Then he looked at me and the abbot, "You two have to help me." "
Before I could speak, the abbot first flinched: "Don't pull me, I won't do anything." "
I thought about it for a while and said to Zhang Yuan: "What kind of place is that coffin shop?" Who the hell is that mute? "
Zhang Yuan said lightly: "I have never been in." Inside, it's the real ghost. We send the ghosts over, presumably, to the underworld. As for what kind of dumbness you are talking about, I have never seen it before. "
I scratched my head: "It's been a long time, and you don't know anything." "
Zhang Yuanmo rubbed the peachwood sword in his hand: "Judging from your experience yesterday, it should be dangerous there." As soon as he was lying on the wall, he was hooked off his soul. This skill is definitely not something we can compete with. "
The abbot was overjoyed: "Since going is also sending death, we don't have to go?" "
Zhang Yuan smiled: "However, the fact that you were able to escape safely after the most reluctance shows that there is no way out of life in it." Let's study and study it well, and we may not be able to succeed. "
The abbot had a bitter face: "Master Zhang, you master and apprentice can go, why do you want to pull me up?" "
Zhang Yuan looked at the abbot and said lightly: "Because you are destined." "
At first, the abbot insisted that he would not go. But Zhang Yuan was coerced and lured, and the abbot was helpless, crying and looking for Buddhist scriptures in his pile of books. Said to bring a book for self-defense.
During the meal, I asked Zhang Yuan, "Master, what's the matter with the injuries on my body?" "
Zhang Yuan said: "Your soul has been bitten by a ghost. Therefore, your body is correspondingly poisoned. In fact, in general, your own kung fu is not at home, and the two qi of yin and yang are not used well. During this period of time, you will recuperate with peace of mind, and by the way, practice the Taoism I taught you. When it's almost over, we'll kill you and avenge you. "
As I ate, I thought, "Revenge me? That's a nice thing you say. "
For the next few days, I endured almost inhuman torture. It's the turn of spring and summer. There is a large temperature difference between day and night. It can heat people to death at noon, and freeze people to death at night.
Zhang Yuan chose the hottest time at noon, asked me to run around the stinky river, and then put on thick winter clothes and sat cross-legged in the yard. In the beautiful name, it is said that the yin energy in the body and the yang energy at noon are used to compete with each other.
In the beginning, I had heat stroke almost every day, and my clothes smelled so bad that they could smoke people to death. It wasn't until half a month later that I was able to gradually get used to it.
The point is that I sit in the Great Holy Temple and practice. The abbot still picks up guests as usual. Soon, the pilgrims who came to offer incense began to spread the word of mouth that there was a fool in the Dasheng Temple, wearing a down jacket in the summer, and refusing to take it off when he was sweating profusely in the heat.
As a result, the flow of people in the temple skyrocketed. The abbot was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
And that's not all, every night at the coldest time, I had to take off my clothes, take a cold shower, and sit by the river. In the name of beauty, use your own yang energy to resist the yin energy by the river.
I exercised every day as if I was nervous, and the abbot was happy to watch the excitement. I said to my abbot, "Don't be happy, you kid. Let's wait for two days to kill the coffin shop, can you live? Come on, let's practice together. "
The abbot's smiling face immediately turned into a crying face, and he turned his head and went to the meditation room to recite the scriptures.
Half a month later, my injuries were almost healed. Zhang Yuan's so-called yin and yang qi, I still don't feel it. I can tell, though, that I'm getting stronger. Wake up every day and feel refreshed.
Moreover, my peachwood sword turned a dark red because of the daily dripping of blood. When it shines under the sun, it glows and looks a little bit like it.
These days, Zhang Yuan is not idle. After meditating and practicing all day, the previous pale on his face has disappeared.
The day of going to the coffin shop has finally come. At dinner, Zhang Yuan said to the two of us, "Let's go to the coffin shop tomorrow." "
The abbot shuddered suddenly: "Will you go tomorrow?" "
Zhang Yuan nodded: "There are many dreams at night, and I can't drag it anymore." My Dao technique has returned to its peak. Xu You's skills have also been practiced a little small. "
I touched my head: "Is there a small one?" Why didn't I feel it? "
Zhang Yuan smiled: "You will feel it tomorrow." Then, he reached out and took out a few pieces of yellow paper and divided them to me and the abbot: "This is a ghost suppression talisman, you can bring it, at least you can make those ghosts fearful." "
The abbot was obviously still a little afraid: "Master Zhang, the last time the two of us went, we were hooked away by someone as soon as we climbed the wall. They're so powerful, let's take a good plan. "
Zhang Yuan nodded: "You don't have to worry about this. I'm going to step on it tonight. Tomorrow during the day, taking advantage of the peak of the yang energy, let's rush in, surprise it, attack it unprepared, maybe we can succeed. "
I couldn't help but worry: "There are very evil sects in there, can you do it yourself?" "
Zhang Yuan said with confidence: "Don't worry." In case of any danger, as long as I do, it is still no problem to escape. The two of you are waiting for me at the Great Temple, don't run around. "
The abbot and I nodded blankly.
After Zhang Yuan finished eating, he really set off with a peachwood sword, and the abbot and I sat nervously on the main hall and waited.
An hour passed, and the abbot asked, "Why haven't you come back yet?" "
I waved my hand: "Don't worry, the coffin is spread in the suburbs, and it is estimated that the master is still on the way." "
An hour and a half passed, and Zhang Yuan still did not appear.
The abbot couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't the one who stepped on the point come back yet?" "
I was also a little unsure, but I deceived myself and said, "Maybe Master is reluctant to spend money and sits, and is walking on the road." "
Two hours passed, and Zhang Yuan still didn't move. This time the abbot didn't ask again, because he couldn't stay up and was already asleep.
I paced vigorously in the main hall, not knowing what to do.
Although Zhang Yuan deceived me, after all, the master and apprentice have been together for so long. After all, it's still a bit emotional.
I wanted to save him, but thinking about my pounds and taels, I couldn't help but sigh and walk back.
At this moment, suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the courtyard. The everlasting lamp on the main hall flickered and went out.
The room was plunged into darkness, and only the moonlight from outside came in.
I was a little scared and pushed the abbot. However, the abbot slept like a dead man, motionless, and did not even snore.
I muttered to myself, "This is not normal, is there something dirty?" No, no, this is a Buddhist hall, and that lonely ghost dares to come here? "
I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard someone calling me: "Xu You"
This voice was very familiar, and I immediately recognized it as Zhang Yuan.
I was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "Master, are you back?" "
Then I looked around and looked outside, but the courtyard was empty, and there was no one in it.
I'm wondering if I've heard it wrong.
Then, another cry: "Xu You." "
It scared the hell out of me. I followed the sound to the corner of the wall and saw a dark shadow there.
I rubbed my eyes, yes, it was a figure. The gratuitous end is attached to the wall.
I asked tentatively, "Master, is that you?" "
The image of the man was a wisp of green smoke, floating in the direction of the corner of the wall: "It's me, Xu You, you save me." "
Although I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, I can feel that Zhang Yuan's situation is not good. I hurriedly picked up a match from the offering table: "You wait for me, I'll light the lamp." "
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't use electric lights." I'm so weak now. A little yang energy can wash me away. "
I anxiously asked, "What then?" "
Zhang Yuan instructed me, "Go to the river and get a pot." "
I didn't ask too much, I picked up a basin and rushed out.
The river outside the temple stinks. I crouched by the river, and the stench on the surface of the water was steaming and almost stunning.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I slowly took a basin of water and trotted towards the temple.
When I just walked to the temple gate, I stumbled under my feet, and the basin in my hand almost flew out. I stumbled two steps desperately, and finally stood firm. However, half of the water in the basin had been spilled.
When I ran to the main hall, the abbot was still asleep. The figure is still lingering in the corner.
I shouted, "Master, the water is coming." "
Zhang Yuan's voice was miserable, and he ordered: "You put down the basin and stay away from me." "
I did as I was told. Then, I saw Zhang Yuan slowly float over and melt into the basin of water.
Then, I heard a voice: "Take off the ghost suppression talisman on your body, and walk over slowly, reporter, according to what I taught you, release the yin energy on your body, and restrain the yang energy." "
I nodded with a glance and tried to restrain my yang energy. After a few seconds, I felt the colder and colder around me, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Then I walked over to the basin. Noticing that there was a vague face with a cloak there, I asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" "
The face said leisurely: "Xu You, we underestimated the coffin shop too much, I fell for the plot." Only the soul escaped. "
My heart was sour: "Master, have you been killed?" "
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "It's just that the soul has been hooked out." Like you guys. "
I said anxiously, "What should I do?" What do we do now? "
When I was in a hurry, I couldn't help but get angry, and the water in the basin rippled, and Zhang Yuan's face seemed to be washed away by me.
