All Chapters_Chapter 32: Red Can
Master took me by the hand and walked to the wooden door full of charms, and he stretched out a hand to rub the wooden door, as if remembering something, and did not say anything for a long time.
After a while, he let out a sigh and pushed open the two wooden doors that had been sealed for a long time.
Chirping!
The wooden door was not locked, and when I was pushed by the master, I made a screeching sound and opened to both sides, and the master led me in. When I lifted my foot and just stepped into the threshold, I seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing on my body, and my body couldn't help but shiver, and I couldn't hold back for a while, and a sneeze came out.
Master looked at me and smiled, and said, "There are too many evil spirits and ghosts sealed here, and the yin qi is heavy, when I first came in with your master, but I squatted on the ground in the cold for a long time and didn't stand up, you are much better than I was back then." ”
I was led into the hall by Master, and soon we were in the middle of the hall.
I saw a large shrine enshrined in front of the main hall, and there were dense small lattices on the shrine, and there were many of them, and it seemed that there were hundreds of them, but most of them were empty, perhaps because no one had cleaned them for a long time, and some of them had accumulated a thick layer of dust.
Each of the remaining twenty or thirty grids was a clay pot, the top three of which were scarlet and blood-colored, and the talismans on them were also shining silver paper talismans. And the remaining twenty or so clay pots are like the dark yellow ones that sealed the female ghost in white last night, and the talismans pasted on them are also ordinary yellow paper with runes drawn.
"This is where our ancestors sealed the evil spirits and ghosts, and our vein is not like the Heavenly Master Dao or the Buddhist Sect, which takes the initiative to eliminate and transform those powerful ghosts, but surrenders the ghosts and evil spirits and collects them for their own use. In the clay pot of this shrine, each of them is sealed with a mountain spirit or a fierce demon who has done a lot of evil. Master led me to the altar and pointed to the clay pots in the small squares and said to me.
"Master, did you catch all the things in these clay pots? And why are the top three jars red, they look so conspicuous. I pointed to the three blood-like clay pots at the top and asked Master, very curious.
Master was stunned by my question, and then said with a smile: "How can your master have that ability, and now the end of the Dharma era is not suitable for cultivation, not to mention that we human cultivators, even those mountain and wild elves are very few." In addition to the female ghost last night, there are only two elves and ghosts that your master and I sealed. ”
Master stretched out a finger and pointed to me at the three dark yellow clay pots at the very end.
"As for the top three red canisters, they are the three most powerful of all the evil spirits, and their strength is extremely strong, and it takes a great deal of effort to subdue each one. And the first two eras have long been unexaminable, and I don't know which ancestor sealed it down, but left a precept, if the descendants of the past generations, if it is not to the point of last resort, it must not be opened, otherwise it will inevitably attract great disasters. ”
After the master finished talking about the first two red pots, when he talked about the last one, he was a little distracted, and after a while, he said: "As for this last red pot, it is said that it is an evil spirit sealed by Dong Chengfeng, the twenty-sixth generation patriarch in this Dujiangyan more than three hundred years ago. ”
"Master, is it true that if you just open the talisman paper attached to the jar, the contents will be released?" I asked.
Master nodded and said, "These runes serve as a suppressive seal, as long as you tear it off, this clay pot will be no different from an ordinary jar." Naturally, what's inside will come out. ”
I looked at the last red clay pot in front of me in a daze, I felt the phoenix bird mark on my left shoulder itching, and an idea involuntarily popped up in my heart, I wanted to open the clay pot in front of me, I wanted to tear off the silver talisman attached to the clay pot, and release the things that had been sealed in it for more than three hundred years.
I don't know how such a dangerous thought came to my heart, but as soon as this thought appeared, it was like a seed taking root in my heart, and it kept sprouting and growing, and I couldn't help but stretch out a hand to touch the red clay pot.
But unfortunately, as soon as my hand reached mid-air, the master grabbed me, and he looked at me a little strangely, and said, "Apprentice, these things can't be moved, especially those evil spirits and ghosts sealed by the previous patriarch, if they are accidentally released, it will be terrible." ”
I reluctantly withdrew my outstretched right hand, I don't know why I did this, but I just wanted to tear off the rune paper on the red clay pot from the bottom of my heart, which is probably what others call a cheap hand.
I withdrew my hand and took a few deep breaths, and the desperate desire to tear the talisman paper was finally calmed. But the master on the side kept staring at me, and he seemed to notice something, and I blushed a little.
"Master, aren't we catching the monsters and ghosts just to drive them, what's the use of the seal here?" In order to hide my embarrassment, I casually found a topic and asked Master.
Master was really distracted by me, he looked away from me, and said, "These sealed ghosts and spirits are all extremely vicious, even if we catch and seal them, they will not easily surrender and are willing to be driven by us, so the rule of our lineage is that unless necessary, the ghosts and evil spirits sealed by this generation will be opened by future generations of disciples, or decades, or hundreds of years. Use the power of time to wear out the anger of these ghosts, and when they are tired and weak, and want to be free, they will naturally willingly serve us to drive them away. ”
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, although the master said it with a smile, but I could hear a chill from it, it took decades and hundreds of years to seal these ghosts, and use the power of time to wear out their anger, just listening to it made me feel a little terrifying.
Just imagine, being sealed in a clay pot for decades and hundreds of years, that kind of loneliness and loneliness, what a terrible punishment, even those fierce and vicious ghosts and evil spirits will eventually succumb to the hands of human beings under the power of this time.
Master didn't say anything more, and led me out of this spiritual hall. It's just that when I was leaving, I looked back at the red clay pot on the top layer again, and the scarlet clay pot had a silver glittering talisman attached to it.
The phoenix bird mark on my left shoulder itched and hot, and my heart wanted to open the red jar and release the contents inside!
As soon as Master and I walked out of the gate of the Fengling Palace, we saw Mu Yueting trotting all the way over, she was still dressed in the same Taoist robe as before, her hair was tied up high and pulled out of a Taoist bun, and her fair face shone with a strange luster in the sun.
"Master! The lord woke up, and it went to the main hall! Mu Yueting arrived before the sound came, and it seemed that the "adult" had woken up, which was a very important thing.
The master was stunned for a moment, and then said with some joy: "That adult is awake?" Great, remember it's been years since it last woke up, and this old ancestor finally stopped sleeping. ”
I listened a little inexplicably to the side, and the big head that I saw in the Taoist pond during the mysterious experience last night suddenly appeared in my head, is that what Master called "adult"?
"Master, what exactly are the 'adults' you and your sister are talking about?" I grabbed one of Master's hands and asked.
Master pulled me towards the direction of the main hall, and said to me with a smile on his face: "Hehe, that lord, it is said that it is a spirit turtle raised by Patriarch Dong Chengfeng three hundred years ago, and it has lived for more than three hundred years now, and it has long been human. We juniors have grown up under his watch, and it is not too much to call it an ancestor, I remember when I was a child, I still sat on his back and played. ”
