Chapter 10: Go up the mountain to catch ghosts
It's not a matter of catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, it's about human life.
If you want to say that you are not afraid is false, there is a saying since ancient times: It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know the heart when you know the face of the person!
If a man does evil, he is worse than evil spirits!
Master interrupted me, "Meridian! His voice, like an initiation, made me calm down instantly, "Ziwu, you must know that whether it is a powerful ghost or an evil spirit, they may have encountered injustices in their lives!" However, human beings are humane, and ghosts have their own ways, so you can't let your heart be shaken or biased! Even though what happened to them in their lives may make you feel pity, don't forget that once these people die and turn into evil spirits, they are a scourge, they are evil! It's long gone that the kindness of life is gone! All that's left is anger and the instinct to be troublesome! ”
I was stunned, Master had never said these words to me before.
What I encountered in Stone Village may be encountered in the future, how can I forget the original intention of our line?
I was ashamed and anxious, lowered my head, and said with some frustration, "Master, I know it's wrong!" ”
"You're not wrong! If you can say those words, it means that your nature has not been extinguished, but you have to remember that when you encounter such a thing in the future, you must keep your heart and stabilize your mind, whether it is a human or a ghost, it will not be able to defeat you! ”
"Hmmm! I remembered! I nodded my head again and again, and I tried to recite what Master had said to me.
"That's it! You can sleep for a while! There are still things to do in the evening! Seeing that I really understood, Master didn't say much, lay down by himself, and closed his eyes.
I lay in bed with my eyes closed, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, and the images I saw kept running in my head.
What happens at night intersects with what you see during the day.
The faces of the villagers, the stone pillars and the village chief, were always changing back and forth between smiles and hideousness.
Before I knew it, I was sweating again, and after struggling to get up, it was already dark outside.
I didn't expect to sleep all afternoon when I closed my eyes.
I turned my head to look at my master, the bed was empty, and I quickly got down to the ground and put on my shoes and walked out.
The village chief and my master were standing in the courtyard, talking to the vegetable garden.
I didn't go over, I turned on the hose and washed my face, and I saw that the village chief's wife had already cooked dinner.
Master and the village chief walked back from the courtyard and sat down at the table to prepare for dinner, but Master just glanced at me.
I hurried over to help Master and the village chief serve the meal, and after sitting down, I waited for Master to take the chopsticks.
The village chief took out another jar of local wine to drink, but was stopped by my master, "If there is something at night, I won't drink the wine!" ”
"Good! Then eat more vegetables! The village chief was not reluctant and put the wine back.
This meal, I ate something tasteless, and I couldn't taste the delicious taste at the beginning.
Moreover, the master and the village chief did not eat and talk as before, and the three of us finished dinner silently.
"Master, when do you think it will start?" After eating, the village chief couldn't help but ask.
Master looked at the sky, "It's still early!" You've been notified, haven't you? ”
"It's all here! They all asked if they needed help! ”
"No, you don't! Just let them not come out, and my apprentice and I will ...... at night Go up the hill and catch ghosts! ”
I noticed a pause in my master's speech, and looked at the village chief, whose face seemed a little unnatural, or rather a little surprised.
But it was quickly overshadowed by his smile.
I scolded in my heart: Look at your virtue and know that your heart is empty!
Finally, at about ten o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark outside, and there were occasional lights flickering in the village.
My master stood up, "Ziwu, bring your things and come with me!" ”
The village chief also quickly stood up, looking very nervous, "Master, this is the beginning?" ”
"Hmm!" Master answered, "Just close the door and sleep!" ”
"Oh, well, the master must be careful!" The village chief was concerned.
I took the bag I had with me from my room, and it was full of things I needed to do things.
Master saw me come out and said, "Let's go!" So he lifted his legs and walked outside.
We didn't have a flashlight, and in the dark, we could see things we couldn't see during the day, and it didn't affect our vision at all.
When I went out, I looked back, and the village chief was still looking at us at the door.
"Master......"
"Don't talk, follow me!"
I quickly shut my mouth and started to get nervous.
It's not that I haven't gone out with Master before, but every time I solve it very neatly, I have never encountered such a complicated situation.
I've seen that female ghost, and the anger on her body is also the strongest I've ever seen.
Although I know that I will definitely be able to subdue the female ghost if I try my best, I am afraid that in the end, I will lose both, after all, my Taoism is still too shallow.
I followed the master, passed by Shidan's house, and looked inside, the door was closed and locked, and the room was also pitch black.
The door of Shizhu's courtyard was also closed, but the lights were lit in the room, and the dim light and the figures that flickered from time to time seemed inexplicably weird.
His wife didn't move, and she didn't know what was going on.
Soon, I followed my master up the hill along the path, and gradually came to the bamboo forest where I lived with the stone egg during the day.
I couldn't help but look inside, the dark aura and the night blended together, making the bamboo forest look eerie.
I seemed to hear movement behind me, "sizzling", as if some small animal was moving slowly.
Or someone cautiously following behind.
I jerked back, but there was nothing behind me.
It's just that in the middle of the night, on a barren mountain, this feeling is too creepy.
My scalp exploded, and I quickened my pace to keep up with my master, just kept looking back.
The master whispered, "There are no ghosts in my heart, and I have no scruples!" ”
I hastened to reply, "Got it!" ”
Soon, we walked through the bamboo forest, up the barren hills, and stopped where I had seen before.
"That's it!" I pointed to the place not far ahead and said to Master.
My master nodded and stretched out his hand to me, and I quickly took out three sticks of incense from my bag, lit them and handed them over.
The master took the incense and walked back and forth in that place twice, and with a flick of his hand, three sticks of incense were instantly inserted into the ground, and the cigarette was straight up, and when it reached a place more than one meter high, it was like encountering a whirlwind, and it broke and scattered.
Master took the red rope I handed over, and quickly pulled out a circle around it, enclosing the place in the middle.
I pulled up the circle outside again.
Suddenly, there was silence around me, and all the sounds disappeared, and then a gust of wind blew, and I couldn't even open my eyes.
The master shouted, "Still not coming out?" ”
I covered my mouth and nose with my arm, and when I squinted my eyes, I saw a dark shadow appear on the ground, and the temperature around me dropped instantly, and the white mist rose.
The female ghost has appeared!
I was shocked that the image of the female ghost had changed a lot from what I had seen before.
His eyes were still white, but his nails had become longer, pitch black, very sharp, and even a red line appeared on his forehead.
This is already powerful, the mana is higher, and the harm is greater!
If it weren't for me and my master coming over, I'm afraid that in a few days, all the people in this village would have been killed by the ghosts!
I was just about to continue to follow Master to drive away the evil spirits, but suddenly there was a noisy sound behind me, and at the same time, the light of fire appeared.
I shouted in my heart, "It's broken! ”
