Chapter 18: The Tree God
Seeing that I screamed, Master retreated, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
I was stunned, and it took me a few seconds to calm down, and the moment my fingertips touched the bark of the tree, it was like an electric shock, and a powerful spiritual force rushed into my body, making my whole body tremble, no less than if I had actually received an electric shock. And at that moment, I sensed a huge person inside the tree, like a shadow flashing by, and I can't tell how big it is or what it looks like.
I told me how I felt, and Master was shocked, and slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it against the tree, but there was no movement. I had the courage to reach out very carefully and slowly as if I were going to touch a high-voltage power line......
The feeling of touching the rough bark of the tree came from the fingers, there was no aura like electricity, no image of a giant, nothing. I couldn't believe it, I let go of my hand and pressed it hard again, but there was still no response, and when I tried to touch the second and third trees, I didn't feel anything.
Was it just a hallucination?
Master suddenly laughed: "You must have sensed the tree gods just now, and when you cast a spell for you, you used the camphor oil made from their branches, so you have its breath on your body, and you can sense it." ”
I was a little confused, because I touched the first tree, and it was the second tree that cut off the branches, and it was quite overbearing, and it didn't seem to be kind to me.
Master asked me with a mysterious expression, "Do you know that Shengyu Po will fail last night when she harmed you?" ”
I had already guessed something last night, but I wasn't sure yet, and Master said with some excitement: "Although the demon fox in your body is in a sealed state, it is not completely asleep, and you can sense that you are in danger, cough cough...... It now shares a soul with you, and it is closely related to your life and death, so when it feels danger, it automatically resists the enemy. Although that evil thing has some Taoism, how can it be able to compete with the demon fox who has been able to transform after a thousand years of cultivation? ”
I suddenly came to my senses: "So it won't hurt me in the future?" ”
"Probably not, and you share the same spirit, and it is very likely that a spiritual power 'channel' will be formed, so you can sense something through its ability. That time you dreamed of the Blood Mist Shroud Village, it was possible that it sensed it, and it may also be its credit for colluding with the tree god just now, otherwise even if you have the breath of a thousand-year-old camphor tree on your body, you will not be able to communicate with the tree god without spiritual power and cultivation. In the future, you will have more communication with the demon fox, and maybe you can borrow its spiritual power...... Of course, this will have to be slowly confirmed and communicated in the future. "Master's eyes were very fanatical, a little excited, like he had found a treasure.
I'm a little puzzled, could it be that he already knew that I would become like this before he accepted the apprentice, which is very valuable for development, so he fooled me into an apprentice?
"Master, you didn't know this was going to happen, did you?"
"Ahem, ahem...... I thought about this possibility before, but it wasn't confirmed until last night. ”
I have a feeling of being a guinea pig again, but this is really good news, I don't have to worry about the demon fox grabbing my body with me in the future, and it can also help me prevent disasters and help me communicate with the gods, which is simply a special protector!
"Master, it won't harm me anymore, so is the problem that I can only live to be thirty years old solved?"
"No, although the demon fox won't harm you, the problem of short life may be caused by the change of spirit, or it may be caused by Lu Chengshan injuring you, and you have this hurdle in your life, so you must learn the spell of longevity with me."
I'm a little depressed, Lu Chengshan, this bastard, was caused by him, if he hadn't killed them all, the demon fox wouldn't have attached to me at all, and there wouldn't have been so many things later. It's a pity that he has a very high cultivation level and is powerful, so I guess I don't have a chance to take revenge in my life.
The master caressed the body of the tree and sighed: "These three ancient trees are really the protectors of our village, some people say that the huge gods who have seen them at night in the past few days may be the tree gods who have entered the village to drive away evil things." ”
I don't quite believe it, and I don't believe it if I want to say that thousand-year-old trees have some spirituality, but I don't believe it if they can turn into huge gods and run around and kill them. However, after a while, my mind changed, and Master did not say that the tree god was a physical giant, and it was still possible if it was just a spirit dispatch. As for the tree god I sensed, it is not surprising that he is very domineering and strong, everyone is more than 1,300 years old, and I am like an ant to him at this age.
When he walked back past those houses, the master said angrily, "You can't build a house in this place, these three trees were planted to suppress feng shui, these people just don't believe it, alas! ”
Nowadays, many people don't pay attention to feng shui when building houses, let alone the pattern of the whole village, and sometimes even the village cadres can't stop it, let alone my master.
I saw a lot of people walking outside the village with sticks, machetes, etc., all to find zombies, which was a threat to everyone, and some village cadres came forward to organize, and eighty percent of the middle-aged people in the village were dispatched.
Sheng Yupo's husband opened a clinic on the side of the road, and when Master and I passed by, Sheng Yupo was lying on a bamboo chair on an intravenous drip, Fan Qiang was hanging one arm, put on a splint, and a few other relatives and friends in their family. Seeing me and Master, Fan Qiang ran out angrily and stopped me.
I protected the master behind me and stared at Fan Qiang with cold eyes, as long as he dared to move, I would let him put a splint and bandage on his other hand and both feet, and after Lao Lin's guidance, my shot would definitely be much more deadly than before.
Fan Qiang was calmed by my calmness and calmness, and when he looked back, his relatives were all standing still. Because of his usual misdeeds, his relatives, including his father, have a lot of opinions about him, if I go to their house to make trouble, these people will definitely protect him, but now that he jumps out to trouble me, these people will not help, because until this moment it is Fan Qiang who is at fault.
Fan Qiang cursed a few words, in addition to scolding me, even his relatives also scolded him, what has no conscience, only eats dogs and the like, and then he didn't go home and went in other directions.
Sheng Yupo has been staring at me with a fierce look in her eyes. Her cheekbones were high, her eyes were large and sunken, they looked like those of a cat, her face was sickly pale, her forehead was a little blue, and her deep-set eyes and her somewhat disheveled gray hair looked terrifying. She stared at me uncomfortably, but I was not afraid of him, so I deliberately raised my head and pouted, with a look of extreme disdain: There is a kind of letting the horse come!
Master didn't dare to stare at the old witch, and pulled me away with all his might. After walking for a while, there was no one before and after, so I asked in a low voice, "Master, she will definitely use vicious methods to harm me, you should keep an eye on it, and don't let your high-ranking disciples die before they get out." ”
"Phew, bah, childish words, nonsense!" Master was very taboo about this, and taught me a few words, and there are many spells and spells that are taboo, such as hemostatic charms. Once, a villager's calf was cut by a broken kettle, the wound was very deep and long, and the blood flowed profusely, and Lao Fan (Fan Qiang's father) could not stop the bleeding, but my master stopped it with a hemostatic charm. Unexpectedly, the injured villager was shocked and said, "It seems that there is still a little bit of it that has not stopped." "It turned out to be bad, there was a little blood seeping out, no matter how it couldn't be stopped, and it took a whole night to end.
Master also knew that Sheng Yupo would not give up, so when he got home, he immediately began to teach me how to solve the curse, and then drew a talisman and pasted it in my bedroom, and also drew an amulet and a peace charm for me to take with me. At the same time as drawing talismans, he also taught me some of the used techniques, footwork, and spells, such as the Heavenly Gang Formula, the Sun Jun Formula, and the Moon Jun Formula; Mantras such as the Purifying Heart Mantra, the Purifying Mouth Mantra, the Purifying Pen Mantra, and the Purifying Paper Mantra; Footwork such as Taiyi Zhenren Bugang Method, Congenital Bagua Gang Method, Jade Girl Crossing the River Gang Method, etc., learn knowledge from practical application, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The effectiveness of the talisman depends entirely on the depth of the cultivation of the person who draws the talisman, while the cultivation of the mortal itself is limited, and only by communicating with the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, can he draw a powerful talisman by borrowing spiritual power. My master's cultivation was not high, he was seriously ill for many years, and he did not have a "spiritual root", so it was not easy to be psychic, so the effect of the peace charms and amulets he drew was limited. He hopes that after I learn it, I will draw it myself when I am in good condition, and it is possible that the talisman I draw now is better than his drawing, because I have a spiritual root, and it is possible that I may accidentally get the help of the thousand-year-old demon fox.
A series of supernatural incidents and troubles made Master and I almost forget that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the zombies have not been eliminated, so it is estimated that the whole village has no intention of celebrating the festival, right?
At ten o'clock in the morning, my grandmother hurriedly came to my house, and I heard that Sheng Yupo had a fairy possession again, and the old witch said that I cut down the branches of the big camphor tree when I was cured, and the tree god was angry, and the strange events of the past few days were caused by the anger of the tree god, and a large-scale sacrifice must be carried out. This time there are more people who believe in her, on the one hand, no one has ever cut down the branches of the big camphor tree, and on the other hand, the zombies have brought great psychological pressure to the villagers, and they must find out a culprit.
I really admire Sheng Yupo's shamelessness and energy, I just finished the drip and had the strength to toss, no matter what she said, as long as no one came to trouble me, if someone really came to the door, I also had a way to deal with it, my master's prestige was not lower than hers.
My master was also very angry at Sheng Yupo's rumors, but he had no opinion on the sacrifice to the tree god and didn't say anything.
At noon, Lao Lin came to my house to sit for a while, and in the morning he went to look for zombies, but he didn't get anything, and the old zombies didn't know where to hide.
In the afternoon, Sheng Yupo and her faithful believers, as well as the people who were affected by the disaster last night, the timid people who were afraid of things wantonly operated, with all pigs, whole sheep and all cattle to worship the tree god, the scene of chickens and ducks, cakes, moon cakes, fruits and other offerings are innumerable, incense, candles, paper money, firecrackers, and gongs, drums, suona to help, to carry out a kind of "walking mida" ceremony, the high specification of nearly a hundred years is unique.
I didn't go to the scene, for fear of being smashed by the fooled villagers, and if my master hadn't been sitting in my house, I was afraid that they would have already killed me and found out the culprit.
The old men and women made a fuss under the camphor tree until it was almost dark, but the people who went to look for the zombies still did not get anything, and they came back one after another. Everyone took refuge in their homes early, closed the doors and fortified them to prevent zombies from breaking into their homes.
Xu Jianmao has invited a few Mr. Yin and Yang to other places, but as soon as he heard that there are zombies, he refused to come, and someone from the Public Security Bureau came in the afternoon, but they said that they were not in charge of the corpse fraud, so no one would come to support tonight.
