Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Paper Man Dies
Most people know that dog blood can ward off evil spirits, but they don't necessarily know why dog blood can ward off evil spirits.
The dog is a very strange being, belonging to the yin, and can see ghosts, but this kind of yin is not the same kind of yin as those yin spirits.
People think that ghosts are afraid of dogs, but in fact, ghosts are not afraid of dogs, on the contrary, dogs are actually afraid of ghosts.
Many people may have encountered such a scene, getting up in the middle of the night, often seeing the family dog curled up in the corner of the wall and shivering, the eyes are full of fear, as if it is afraid of something, that is, it sees something unclean around it and is cowardly.
Seeing this, some people may ask, since dogs are afraid of ghost cards, why can dog blood still break evil and exorcise ghosts?
Actually, the things that ghosts are afraid of are filth, foul words, filthy things, and ghosts are very jealous.
For example, if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, you can take off your pants and pee, and the ghost will break the wall, which is the effect of filthy things on the ghost.
In the past, most dogs ate some filthy things, and the filth accumulated in the dog's body over time, and it became a powerful magic weapon to deal with ghosts, so there is a saying that dog blood wards off evil spirits.
But now the dogs are all raised in the house, and they can't touch those filthy things at all, so this kind of dog blood is useless, which is why Xu Yuanzhi asked me to find a wild dog.
In the countryside, there are a lot of wild dogs, but they are too big, too strong I dare not start, it is really troublesome to be torn by it, so I have to find a smaller one, so I have been grinding until the sky is dark, and finally found a skinny little black dog and hugged it back.
When I went back, it happened that Liu Wenpo also came back, and she was carrying a paper figure on her shoulder, this paper figure had a white face, except for the nose and eye sockets, there was nothing else.
I know that the current paper shops are all done in advance, just waiting for customers to come to the door, presumably this paper figure is made.
It's just that Liu Wenpo didn't understand why Xu Yuanzhi had no eyes and mouth, so she asked.
Xu Yuanzhi looked at this paper man without eyes and mouth with satisfaction, and patiently explained: "This is a paper man who died for your old man, if there is a mouth, it will say who it died for in the underworld, and then the yin will inevitably come to arrest people, if there are eyes, it will be even more amazing, it will absorb the aura of the world and become a monster." ”
After speaking, Xu Yuanzhi carried the paper figure into the house, and I followed closely to the house.
There was an old man lying on the bed in the back room, his eyes were closed, his seal, the tip of his nose, and his cheekbones were black, his lips were dry and cracked, and his color was no longer red but yellow.
This physiognomy is a typical checkmate in physiognomy.
In other words, this old man was about to swallow his breath when he saw it, I glanced at Xu Yuan, and asked with a question in his eyes, is this person still saved?
Xu Yuanzhi ignored me, and directly ordered Liu Wenpo to bring a kitchen knife and a bowl over.
Soon, Liu Wenpo handed over the things.
Xu Yuanzhi took the kitchen knife, pulled a cut on the old man's wrist on the bed, and let the blood flow into the bowl, until it was a small half bowl, and then he instructed Liu Wenpo to stop the bleeding and bandage.
Subsequently, Xu Yuanzhi dipped a brush in blood and wrote the old man's birthday on the front chest and back of the paper man.
In this way, the paper man became a stand-in for the old man.
After writing, Xu Yuanzhi pasted a Juyang talisman on the shoulders and top of the paper man's head.
People have three life lamps, also known as yang fire, respectively on the top of the head and two shoulders, Taoism has clouds: barren mountains have no lights, pedestrians light their own lights, lamps burn no taboos, lights go out again. It means that in a place where the atmosphere is strong, the pedestrian itself is a lamp, and when the lamp is on, he can drive unscrupulously, and if the lamp is extinguished, he is tricked by a ghost, and he will not want to go again.
And this Yang Gathering Talisman can gather Yang Qi, gather Yang Qi on the top and shoulders of the paper man, and condense it into the appearance of three faint life lamps, so as to deceive the ghost.
After all this was ready, Xu Yuanzhi asked Liu Wenpo to find a coat and hat that her old man usually wears, and put it on the paper figure. In the end, he borrowed the black carp stone from the old turtle and stuffed it into the old man's mouth to avoid the sun.
He also used four horses to build a low tent, hid Liu Wenpo's old man in it, and placed the paper figure on top of the tent.
After doing all this, Xu Yuanzhi instructed Liu Wenpo to go to another room to hide, no matter what movement she heard, don't come out.
Liu Wenpo probably guessed what was going to happen next, and after thanking Xu Yuandao, she walked into a room and closed the door tightly.
"Master, when is this ghost coming?" I asked.
Xu Yuanzhi looked at the dark sky and said, "It should be soon, let's take the dog's blood first." ”
As he spoke, Xu Yuanzhi slipped the little black dog with skin and bones, made a small cut on the inside of its hind leg with a knife, and let the blood flow in a small bowl containing cinnabar, and then handed the bowl to me, and instructed me: "When the ghost comes, you will splash it with this dog's blood, you know?" ”
I nodded, and put a sun charm on my chest and the cat was in the doorway.
After waiting for less than twenty minutes, I suddenly felt a cold aura coming, and then a strange low voice sounded: "Follow me, follow me......"
I peeked out and saw a ghost with a tall hat and a long iron chain, with a face as white as paper, floating through the door.
I thought to myself, "Go what you want, fuck you!" ”
The dog's blood in his hand was splashed on it.
The effect of the dog's blood splashed on the ghost was similar to that of sulfuric acid splashed on the person, only to see a puff of black smoke filling the ghost, and the ghost almost let out a terrible scream, and one turned around and floated out of the door.
At this time, Xu Yuanzhi jumped out in a flash, stepped on the bucket, and read in his mouth: "The sky is round, the nine chapters of the law, the white paper is the face, the bamboo piece is the clothes, be my stand-in, and the calamity will die...... Haste as a law, up! ”
As soon as the words came out, Xu Yuan's hand pointed at the paper man, and inadvertently, the paper man stood up straight!
However, its limbs were stiff and its movements were stiff, like a robot, and it walked out of the door step by step.
If this scene is seen by someone who doesn't know what's inside, it is estimated that it can be scared half to death. Especially in the moonlight, the paper man's face with incomplete facial features looks particularly miserable and white!
At this time, the ghost who I had splashed with dog blood came back again, thinking that it had suffered a loss and was afraid, and jumped inside while sneaking in.
It suddenly saw the paper man walking out, its eyes lit up, and the chain in its hand went to the paper man's neck, and he ran away with it, without the slightest suspicion.
I couldn't help but laugh in the room, this nervous ghost is too irresponsible for his own work.
