Verse 48: Collecting the soul
Hearing Da Fei say this, I also smiled, and smiled helplessly.
I really can't quit right now.
Those who have not experienced it can't appreciate this kind of taste of being played by fate.
It's like playing a game halfway through, although the current game is confusing, thoughtless, like a small boat floating on the sea, without direction, I don't know what the future holds, but I still have to continue to play, not to say empty words like saving the world, at least to complete the contract for Jiao'er.
I understand what Da Fei said, but that doesn't mean I agree with him.
In this world, there are many paths to choose from, even if we can't be heroes, we don't have to be bad guys.
At this moment, there was a deliberate coughing sound, and Da Fei and I turned around, it was Yang Chen.
I don't know when she was standing next to us, but she must have heard what we just said.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very awkward.
Da Fei said to her casually: "Yang Chen, aunt is fine, don't worry, I came here to tell you about this." ”
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Brother Fei, you just need to make a phone call, and you have to come here." ”
Da Fei smiled and said, "I'm also idle, exercise, you continue to be busy, I'll go first." ”
After saying that, he led the jade dragon and quickly disappeared into the corridor.
Looking at his back, I think the "aunt" in Da Fei's mouth should be Yang Chen's mother.
I wanted to ask Yang Chen what happened to her mother, but when the words came to my lips, I felt that it was inappropriate for me to ask like this, so I opened my mouth and finally didn't say anything.
Yang Chen glanced at me, didn't say anything, and returned to her infirmary.
Ye Zixuan came over and asked, "Are you persuading Da Fei, or are you persuading yourself?" ”
I smiled and said, "No, I'm really trying to persuade Da Fei, and I also hope that Yang Chen can have a good home - as a friend, don't get me wrong, I also hope that everyone around me is well." ”
"When did you become inconsistent?" Ye Zixuan also smiled, didn't ask deeply, and changed the topic: "Let's go, go to the paper shop with me and buy some paper people." ”
"What does a paper buyer do?"
"You'll find out soon."
So I went to the nearby terminal of life with Ye Zixuan.
The end of life is a room, but the pattern is surprisingly consistent, a wreath is placed in front of the door, and a paper figure of a golden boy and a girl is placed on the left and right at the door.
Although this paper figure is extremely ugly, it is impossible to see the characteristics of the "golden boy and girl".
The shopkeeper was an old lady, and when she saw us coming, she asked what she wanted to buy, and Ye Zixuan said that there were two male paper figures and six female paper figures.
The old lady quickly took it out and handed it to us.
At this time, I understood what Ye Zixuan meant by calling me, there are a total of eight paper figures in these two and six, and one person can't hold it.
Xiao Hei can't feel the warmth in my arms at this time, I can only squat on my shoulder, I hold these paper people, although I know that they will not have any special changes, such as turning their heads, reaching out, or doing other actions, but after the last time the paper man who gathered the soul, I still feel cold behind my back, especially when the wind blows on the road, the paper on the paper man makes a rattling sound, and it makes me feel that I am not holding a paper man, but a fierce god, and I can't help but sweat a little on my head, but I still go back to Xiao Pang's house.
What is Ye Zixuan doing with these paper figures? Could it be that if the soul conjuring fails, he will directly burn some paper figures for Xiao Pang so that he can go on the road with peace of mind?
Da Pang saw that Ye Zixuan had bought these, and he had the same reaction as me: "Master Ye, you don't want to burn paper people for your little brother, do you?" Is he not working? ”
Ye Zixuan said: "Brother Da Pang don't worry, he is fine for the time being, these paper figures are not burned for him, but for his soul." ”
Speaking of which, Ye Zixuan took out a cinnabar pen and wrote two souls and six spirits on the chests of these paper people: heavenly soul, earth soul, Tianchong, Linghui, spirit, strength, center, heroic, and then on the back of the paper people, all write Xiao Pang's birthday eight characters, and after writing, paste a soul talisman on each of the eight characters, a total of eight.
Two male paper figures write two souls, and six female paper figures write six souls.
After completing these, Ye Zixuan placed the two souls on the left side of Xiao Pang's bed and the six souls on the right side of the bed.
Both the two souls and the six spirits were about ten centimeters away from the bed, and the distance between them was about five centimeters.
To tell the truth, if someone suddenly comes in, it will definitely be a little scary, Da Pang couldn't help but be a little scared when he saw this, and couldn't help but ask Ye Zixuan: "Master, this paper man won't kill people, right?" ”
Ye Zixuan said: "Please rest assured, Brother Pang, they will not kill, let alone have the opportunity to kill." ”
-
The so-called auspicious time of the soul is also the time of the child.
This time, and Xiao Pang's lost soul, is exactly one time, that is, 24 hours.
24 hours ago, how did Xiao Pang lose his soul, maybe after the soul of Xiao Pang is brought back, I can ask clearly.
Ye Zixuan said to Da Pang: "Brother Da Pang, you go outside first, I didn't say come in, don't come in, so as not to distract me and affect the treatment of your brother." ”
Da Pang nodded and said, "I'm not coming in, I'm waiting for your good news outside." ”
I said, "Shall I use it?" ”
Ye Zixuan said: "No, you are here, see if you can help me." ”
When the time came, the lights in the house went out, and Ye Zixuan lit a piece of white ash at Xiao Pang's feet.
Then he took out three pillars of incense, first bowed to the north, and then began to recite the conjuring mantra: where to keep the wandering soul, the false surprise strange grave mountain forest, now please the mountain god five road general, the land, the house stove king, check the true soul.
Take back the possession and build up the spirit. The gate of heaven is open, the gate of earth is open, and the boy sends the soul for thousands of miles. I am in a hurry with the order of the Taishang Laojun.
When he finished speaking, there was silence in the room, and there was no sound except the sound of our breathing and heartbeat.
But in less than two minutes, there was a wind in the house, and the spirit flags that had been arranged in the house fluttered.
What the treasure mirror saw with his hands and eyes was that many emaciated people were crowded in from outside, and these people stepped on the rice, leaving a series of bright black footprints.
This "wind" is them.
I put away my treasure mirror hands and eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in my heart: they were just some wandering ghosts.
Ye Zixuan summons spirits here, and naturally attracts a lot.
After all, this is a hospital, and which of those wandering ghosts doesn't want to borrow corpses to resurrect their souls? It's just that those paper people may not agree, all ghosts that approach Xiao Pang's body will be blocked by the paper people, except for the eight characters of birth on the back of the paper people, in order to approach Xiao Pang.
And in line with the birthday eight characters on Xiao Pang's back, only Xiao Pang.
I didn't use the treasure mirror hand and eye, but the naked eye can also see that those paper figures moved slowly, constantly pushing away, at first I was a little scared, but knowing what they were doing, I was completely relieved, at this time their role is like the guard that Ye Zixuan is looking for.
When the time passed, I stood there, not daring to speak, let alone move casually, my feet were numb, but in the end, Xiaopang's spirits still did not appear.
Ye Zixuan sighed and had no choice but to end the ceremony.
However, he did not directly drive away the wandering ghosts who were attracted in, but directly opened the Yin and Yang Road with rice, packed them into the ghost gate, and died.
The ward returned to its previous appearance, no "wind", silence.
I went to the paper figurines and was about to move them away, but I didn't expect to touch them and turn to ashes in an instant.
Ye Zixuan frowned and said, "Clean up here, and we'll find a way." ”
Then he came to Xiao Pang's side, took his pulse, looked at his face carefully, and said: "Failure today means that we don't have many opportunities, and how long his soul and soul can last depends on the will of God." ”
Afterwards, we walked outside the door.
I saw the leaves coming out like ants on a hot pot, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Master Ye. ”
Ye Zixuan shook his head: "His soul has not been recruited. ”
"How so?" Da Pang said, "You have to save my brother!" ”
I'm also a little strange, Ye Zixuan's soul summoning rarely missed before, not to mention that he is much stronger now than before, why didn't Xiao Pang's soul come back? also said: "Isn't this kind of soul able to be recalled?" By the way, Da Pang, did you drink last night, were you tricked? Have you offended anyone? ”
Da Pang was so anxious that he almost cried and said, "We really didn't offend anyone, Master Zilong, we are working on the road bridge project." ”
Ye Zixuan seemed to remember something at this time, and asked, "Where do you work?" Take me to see it. Da Pang hurriedly said, "Just outside, I'll lead you." ”
Ye Zixuan took out the compass and we went out together.
It's dark outside, but the street lights here are very bright, plus the construction, and the headlights of the car, all kinds of lights are indispensable.
Ye Zixuan watched the needle on the compass spin, his face became more and more ugly, and he said to himself, "Why didn't I notice this before?" ”
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Ye Zixuan didn't speak, and walked towards the iron wall according to the guidance of the compass.
As mentioned earlier, outside the iron wall is the road, and inside the iron wall is the construction site, so there is cement, scaffolding, steel pipes, helmets, tools, etc. everywhere.
We are standing on the cultural road, and we are also standing under the bridge under the road.
In the middle of the first bridge and the second bridge, Ye Zixuan stood there with a compass.
Ye Zixuan said: "There is movement here. ”
The foot was originally an asphalt hardened pavement, but because of the construction, the pavement was excavated to reveal soil - which is why the loess is covered here.
"What's going on here?" Da Pang said: "Master Ye, Er Pang and I were still building scaffolding on this site yesterday, and he urinated here - could it be that Er Pang offended the land?" ”
"Dig it up and see." Ye Zixuan said.
Hearing Ye Zixuan say this, Da Pang and I picked up the pickaxe from the side and dug to the place designated by Ye Zixuan, who knew that at this moment, I suddenly heard a voice: "There is a thief, steal our pickaxe, brothers, catch the thief!" ”
