Chapter 3: The First Ghost Hunt
Up and down Wudang, within 100 miles, Dingjiaying Town, in a small hotel room.
Zhang Qiang was looking at the circular light curtain on the white wall where the TV was located in the hotel room: "In the light curtain, there is a quaint village, and several white, black, and red ghosts are flying out of the grave in the mountain, and they are flying towards the village houses."
"Hey, stinky boy, what are you in a daze? Have you never seen your uncle's handsome 'Circular Light Technique'? Or are you frightened by the few little ghosts that appear in the 'Circular Light Technique'?" Xuan Xuan couldn't help but shout loudly.
"No, my nephew is just curious, why is the 'Circular Light Technique' performed by my uncle different from the one I saw last time my nephew in the underworld? Zhang Qiang responded curiously.
"Boy, you are deliberately looking for me, right? I click, then, the king of Yama is from the underworld, and the one he performed is the 'Great Circle Light Technique', and mine is the 'Small Circle Light Technique', can it be compared? Besides, how many years has he been cultivating, if your uncle and I have as long life as him, give me the method of the 'Great Circle Light Technique', it will definitely be much stronger than him. Anyway, what do you mean kid, are you looking for a fight?" Then raise the index finger and middle finger of the right hand, straighten the ring finger and little finger together, and start to press the thumb on the nail of the second finger, making the appearance of the 'sword finger' when the Taoist casts spells.
"Don't, Uncle Shi, your subordinates have mercy. I still want to learn this 'Little Circle Light Technique' with you, Uncle Shi, I feel that it is more handsome and practical than the Great Circle Light Technique of Lord Yama. Zhang Qiang hurriedly changed the topic.
"It's pretty much the same, even if you kid knows the goods!, your uncle and I will barely teach you. Xuan Xuan stretched out the fingers of his right hand and stroked the beard under his chin.
"This 'small round light technique' is a popular spell in our Chinese land, which was most popular in the Republic of China period, and it is generally very effective, similar to the past 'please fairy', but it is easier to practice than the latter. There are many sects of Taoism and even Buddhism, but the methods and forms will be different. The 'Small Circle Light Technique' of our Qingwei School is to draw a circle with spiritual power on the palm of the hand, and then concentrate the spiritual energy on the white wall or white cloth of the entity, etc., to show various images like a movie. Xuan Xuan patiently explained.
After saying this, I saw Xuanxu slowly draw a talisman circle in his left hand with his right hand, and then continued to hit the white wall where the TV was located. The circular light curtain that had gradually disappeared before began to clear again. Xuan Xuan stroked his beard and continued:
"Boy, do you see? This is the 'Little Circle Light Technique' that I have sent! Do you know that this 'Little Circle Light Technique' is a magical spell with the function of 'Visualization', and it is one of the advanced means of tracking down information, and it has been secretly circulated for thousands of years. I don't teach ordinary people. For the sake of you being my nephew, and for the sake of inviting me to stay, eat and drink, I will reluctantly teach you. ”
"Oh, by the way, this 'Tai Chi Bagua Mirror' is for you. Uncle Shi has already helped you set up the Dao method, as long as you input spiritual power, you can use it to instruct and track ghosts, and if necessary, you can also deter ghosts for a while. As for this 'Little Circle Light Technique', you should practice it well first, and sooner or later you will use it. Xuanxu took out a piece of bronze mirror engraved with the appearance of Tai Chi gossip on the reverse side, handed it to Zhang Qiang and said.
"Uncle Shi, I've cleaned up those little ghosts in a while, what should I use to subdue and contain them? Do you want to return the 'Thunder Fire Gourd' that Master gave me to my nephew, and let my nephew use it first. Zhang Qiang took the mirror handed over by Xuanxu and said tentatively.
"I click, you already have the 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword', you can use the primary and intermediate spells I sent, and you have also learned a lot of high-level spells; and then there are the five color runes of 'gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow', the primary yellow, and then the blue, purple and silver, even the most powerful 'golden runes' you can draw a few kinds; Otherwise, if you go and kill those low-level imps, it won't be called 'experience', it's called 'torture and killing', understand?" Xuanxu shouted.
"Uncle Shi, but I don't have anything else to collect the souls of those demons?" Zhang Qiang said hurriedly.
"I'm scared of you! This 'Thunderbolt Bag' is for you, it's enough for you to fit dozens of ghosts. "By the way, remember to seal each ghost with runes. Xuan Xuan took out a palm-sized gray cloth bag and handed it to Zhang Qiang and said.
"Uncle Shi, every time you receive one, you have to seal it with a talisman, isn't it too troublesome. Think about it, it's the 'Thunder Fire Gourd' that Master gave me," Zhang Qiang said a little helplessly.
"Do you want to, don't pay me back. Ahh
"Hurry up, pack up, go to that Huangjiagou village more than ten miles away, and catch me those little ghosts who came out to endanger the civilians. If you don't come back before the ugly time, you will be punished for sleeping in the wild. Xuan Xuan said with a 'wicked smile' on his face.
"Wow Ka Ka, it's a big deal that I'll come back after catching the ghost in a while, and I'll just open a room and sleep by myself. Zhang Qiang turned to the door, and said stupidly as he walked.
"Stinky boy, don't think about coming back later, open your own room to sleep, if you really do that, see how I punish you, don't underestimate your uncle and my ability. Hehe," Xuan Xuan in the room suddenly said to Zhang Qiang at the door.
"I'm clicking" Zhang Qiang stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold.
Out of the town, Zhang Qiang took a breath and ran towards Huangjiagou as if flying
Half an hour later, Zhang Qiang appeared outside Huangjiagou Village, and by the moonlight, he took a general look at the village, which was relatively remote, with only twenty or thirty households, scattered on both sides of the country road and a stream flowing through the village. Zhang Qiang then took out the 'Tai Chi Bagua Mirror' given by Xuanxu, entered spiritual power, and then looked at the front of the mirror:
"I saw a white shadow in the village (northwest), in the form of a ghost, floating through the wall into a farmer's house, and in the village Kunwei (southwest) there was a black shadow, a bit like a tiger and leopard, floating into another farmer's house, and in the village (north) there was a red shadow, and it was not clear what form was drifting into another household. ”
"Well, it's three ghosts at once, no, I have to see what the hell it is? This is my first ghost hunt, first think about how to make a reasonable move. While analyzing, Zhang Qiang injected a little more spiritual power, and entered the 'Tai Chi Bagua Mirror', only to see that the image in the mirror was clearer:
"The first one in the north-west, the white ghost-like shape, was the 'Fool', and this ghost was actually obsessed with gambling, and it was only a long time before he threw himself into the farmhouse, and made a young man who slept alone sleepwalk, and gambled with him. The second ghost is located in the southwest, it is actually a 'ghost', at the head of the bed of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in a middle school, waving two black paws, releasing a little smoke, letting the boy inhale slowly, and then I saw that the boy kept smirking in his dreams, and he must be tricking the boy into where to dig treasures, etc., and then fell into the mouth of tigers and other beasts The third ghost is in the north of the village, it is actually a legendary 'wasted ghost', I saw this ghost wearing a red robe, a bull's nose, and one foot on the ground with shoes, The other foot hung on his waist, and there was an iron fan stuck in his waist; and at this time, he floated into the farmer's house, and he was actually stealing the farmer's wedding clothes, quilts, and candy for the happy event
Looking at the three ghosts in the mirror, Zhang Qiang couldn't help laughing, and laughed spontaneously: "It seems that I am wrong to blame Uncle Xuanxu this time, I didn't look carefully just now, and I thought he was asking me to catch three powerful ghosts, but I didn't expect it to be three ghosts that didn't do much harm." Hmm, which ghost do you want to start with?" Zhang Qiang scratched his hair and muttered to himself.
"Okay, let's start with the white 'idiot ghost'!" With that, Zhang Qiang ran towards the 'idiot ghost' in the northwest
In Huangjiagou Village, at the door of a farmer's house in the northwest, Zhang Qiang picked up a few small square pillar stones and a small bowl with a broken edge on the ground, and then threw a few small stones into the bowl in his hand, shouting loudly: "Wow, three threes, leopards;
At this time, the 'idiot' in the room stopped losing his dice, floated out of the door with a whoosh, came to Zhang Qiang's side, and asked, "I want to play with you, can I?"
"Yes, but my dice is very blurry, I can't see clearly, can I use yours?" Zhang Qiang slowly picked up a few small stones in the broken bowl and responded slowly.
"Of course, to you". I saw that the 'idiot ghost' took out a few grains of dice and handed them to Zhang Qiang.
"Why don't you throw the dice first?" Zhang Qiang said.
"Okay, I'll come first," said the 'idiot' squatting down and throwing the dice in his hand into the broken bowl on the ground.
It's too late, it's too soon. Zhang Qiang took out the 'thunderbolt small cloth bag' in the cloth bag on his back, entered the spiritual power, and recited the spell that Xuanxu taught him, and the cloth bag was aimed at the 'foolish ghost', and then saw a gust of wind blowing out of the cloth bag, sucking the 'foolish ghost' who was squatting on the ground into the bag.
"Ah, you lied to me" The 'idiot', who was slowly getting smaller, let out a roar of rage when it was put into the cloth bag.
Seeing that the 'foolish ghost' was sucked into the cloth bag, Zhang Qiang hurriedly took out a prepared yellow rune and sealed it at the mouth of the cloth bag, and read it in his mouth: "Yuan Shi Tianzun's edict, the fire god Zhu Rong borrowed the law, sealed." After a few moments, the 'fool' in the cloth bag was silent. Zhang Qiang looked at the cloth bag in his hand, his palms were slightly sweaty, and he said to himself excitedly: "This is the first time I have caught a ghost, if the rain is here, knowing that I can catch a ghost so well, I should jump up and hug me happily!"
At this time, the 'ghost' in the southwest of the village and the 'wasted ghost' in the north of the village all floated out of their respective rooms and floated towards Zhang Qiang's location, making strange sounds such as "woo wow, woo wow" from time to time on the way, as if they were calling for something.
"Oops, careless! I'm 'scaring the snake'," Zhang Qiang frowned.
At this time, the 'ghost' was using ghost language to communicate with the 'wasted ghost' in the air: "Second brother, that seems to be the voice of the fourth brother just now, the fourth brother won't be arrested by any stinky Taoist priest, right?"
"It should be, which stinky Taoist priest who doesn't have long eyes is bullying my fourth brother. I'll go and see the situation first, the third child, you quickly call the boss out, just in case. "The 'Wasted Ghost' replied to the 'Ghost'.
"Okay, second brother, I'll take the first step and call the boss out of the customs. As he spoke, he changed direction and flew towards the mountains and forests at the south end of the village, and let out a strange, creepy scream
"Looks like I'll have to leave first, find a place to set up the talismans, and then lure them over to subdue. Zhang Qiang hurriedly cleaned up, and then began to paste a few talismans of 'blue characters and yellow paper' on the door of the farmer's house, in case a few other ghosts came over and couldn't find him, and it would be bad to find the farmer here.
Along the way, Zhang Qiang deliberately stepped the dirt road in the countryside, and by passing the rain during the day, he could also leave some footprints, and by the way, he sprinkled some cinnabar, ink and other things used to draw talismans along the road, so as to lure other ghosts to come and enter the talisman array he had arranged.
In Huangjiagou Village, the moonlight is bright, and suddenly the clouds are thick, and the wind does not stop
At the west end of the village, deep in a dense mountain forest, in a valley, there is a tomb with a vague inscription, washed by rain and mountain springs, faintly revealing the corners of the coffin, and at this time there is a sound of knocking in the coffin that exposes the corners
Then I saw a zombie wearing an official uniform, the black hair on his body gradually fading, his limbs were stiff, his head was not lowered, his eyes were wide open, but not tilted, his body was not much rotten and rotten, and a zombie with an unpleasant smell was breaking out of the coffin...
At this time, Zhang Qiang was coming to a mountain forest pass with a relatively dry ground, and began to take out a talisman without stopping, stepping on the seven-star step, and began to be busy arranging the talisman array
And the 'wasted ghost' wearing a red wedding dress was covered in black at this time, and he was heading towards the little traces left by Zhang Qiang, viciously towards Zhang Qiang's location
