Chapter Eighty-Eight: Gathering Yin and Forming a Shape
"It brought me here just to get us past it?" I felt a little strange and a little lost at the same time, and muttered, "I thought it was trying to lead me to find evidence and avenge my mother for it." ”
"You still don't know about ghosts." Xu Yuanzhi said, "Have you forgotten the one hundred and sixty-six embankment guards in the Xiaolong River? They once carried so much resentment, but in the end, they couldn't withstand a reincarnation. You must know that the cycle of life and death is enough to resist all the loves, hatreds, and hatreds that you think they can't let go. ”
I thought about it carefully, it's really such a reason, in the face of the cycle of life and death, what is the grievances and hatred in the previous life?
Xu Yuanzhi and I went back to the village, went to find Sun Guanghe, asked him to prepare something for the excess, and brought a few pieces of dry food up the mountain.
After tossing back and forth for a day, and reburying my mother's bones, it was already dark.
It will be too late, Xu Yuanzhi and I are not in a hurry, we nibble on a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, find a pile of soft grass to lie down, and fall asleep.
Because I didn't sleep all night last night, I wandered around in the forest for half the night, and today I dug another day's grave, and my physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and I lost a little as soon as I lay down, and finally I was woken up by the cry of the ghost baby "Wow Wow", and when I woke up, it was already in the middle of the moon.
Although I have a lot to do with this ghost baby, but its crying is really unbearable, Xu Yuanzhi and I quickly started the transcendence ceremony, burned incense and paper to read documents, a set of processes down, and finally overtook it.
After doing all this, Xu Yuanzhi looked up at the big and round moon in the sky, and said quietly: "Today in the fifteenth and a half months, let's go to the old house to see a rare scene." ”
"What's the rarity?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that Sun Guanghe said that every fifteenth, there will be a lot of things to worship the old house.
The sun is yang, the moon is yin, and the fifteenth full moon night of each month is the heaviest yin day of the month. All beasts, ghosts, zombies, etc., who want to practice, will absorb the essence of the moon on this day.
According to legend, there is a big toad in the Moon Palace, it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, cultivates into an immortal body, and every full moon night, it will give its descendants the breath of Taiyin, and they can be the same as themselves, and one day they can cultivate into an immortal body.
Today is the fifteenth day, and I passed by the old house, but I took the opportunity to take a look.
The moonlight was bright and white, white as jade, sprinkled all over the ground.
Xu Yuan and I walked silently on the way back to the village.
Although I had already been mentally prepared, when I approached the old house and saw the magical scene, I was still very shocked.
Hundreds of animals gathered around the old house, and as Sun Guanghe said, there were foxes, hedgehogs, and weasels...... They all face the old house, and people stand up, holding their paws, like people clenching their fists, and worship at the old roof, which looks funny and reverent.
I looked around and found that these animals were very ordinary, none of them were particularly large, or their fur color changed, which means that they are not very high, at most they have just opened their minds.
After watching with Xu Yuanzhi's cat in the grass not far away, I suddenly remembered a little story told by a cow madman when I was a child.
The story goes that if you encounter an animal worshipping the moon, if you sneak close to it and hit it with a stick, it will fall off a hat from its body when it is frightened, and if you wear it, others will not see you.
Of course, I wouldn't be bored enough to experiment with them, and as I looked at them, I thought of the four big demons who lived in the belly of Braided Mountain.
Time flies, ten years have passed, and this time I came back not because I didn't have the opportunity to see a few of them, but I was afraid that it would increase my sadness, I don't know if they are still practicing on Braided Mountain, and I don't know if the big snake and the old hedgehog have cultivated their human form.
"Huh? Changsheng, look! ”
When I was deserting, Xu Yuanzhi suddenly pulled me, pointed to the roof of the old house and whispered to me.
I looked intently and was taken aback.
I've never seen such a strange sight.
I saw that a lot of yin qi was penetrating the roof and drilling into the old house, and I only felt that the old house was a big funnel, and yin qi from all directions poured into this funnel.
Yin Qi is not thick enough to a certain extent, it will not take shape, at most it will make people feel very cold.
At this time, the yin qi here not only took shape, but also seemed to have its own thoughts, lining up and drilling into the house by themselves, which was really evil.
"What's going on?" I didn't feel like I had enough brains and asked stumblingly.
Xu Yuan's face was solemn, and he seemed to be unable to understand what was going on for a while.
"Let's go inside."
Originally, I was not afraid of this old house, and even had a special sense of intimacy with it because my family had lived here, but now, Xu Yuanzhi's proposal made me a little cowardly.
The ghost card of that year left me with too much psychological shadow, so that many years later, when I see this situation of gathering yin and taking shape, I will still remember everything that happened back then.
The demons that run rampant, the darkness of despair......
Xu Yuanzhi has always been incompetent, and he is very fat, and he doesn't care if I agree or not, he dragged me to the old house, and the animals that were worshipping around the old house fled in panic.
"Master, let's wait until dawn to come back." I was a little resistant and proposed.
Xu Yuanzhi said: "We passed back and forth here several times during the day today, did you find something abnormal?" Also stayed here that night and nothing out of the ordinary. Only today it began to absorb yin qi on its own, and I think that the strangeness of this room may only be revealed on the night of the fifteenth. If you don't see it now, you may have to wait until next month. Don't you want to understand why your family is here? ”
Xu Yuanzhi's last sentence suddenly poked into my heart, and I can't help but check the affairs of my parents.
Thinking like this, I looked around, ran to the side and picked up two wooden sticks that were slightly thinner than my wrists, one with Xu Yuan, and tiptoed towards the old house.
As I slowly approached the door, I chuckled.
The door of this old house was not closed tightly, revealing a slight gap, through this gap, you can see that there is a dim light inside!
This discovery took me by surprise.
How can there be light in this?
This faint light looks like the flame of a candle or an oil lamp.
Could it be that there is someone inside?
So is this steady stream of yin qi pouring into the house also related to the people inside?
A person who can gather yin and form must have a deep Taoism.
If this is the case, the kung fu of Xu Yuanzhi and Xu Yuanzhi, the three-legged cat, is tantamount to looking for death......
