Chapter 4: The Commander of the Generals
Almost at the end of the conversation, I saw that Ah Chang's trust in him was much higher.
Chen Chuchu directly threw out the purpose of this trip. He said that although he has a little bit of a way to avoid evil, he prefers to do something to exorcise evil spirits himself...... The meaning of the words is that I want to learn some spells here.
This kind of thing of learning other people's skills, I thought that I would encounter a little resistance, but I didn't expect Ah Chang to say casually: "It's okay, but ordinary people learn this, and they need to place their lives in front of the gods to have a mana effect." You can read any of my spell books here, and if the gods say yes......"
After speaking, Ah Chang was a little puzzled, on the mainland, Longhu Mountain, Wutai Mountain, all kinds of famous mountains and temples, why did they come here to study?
Chen's initial explanation is that he has been to those places, but the larger the place, the more rules and regulations, and the process is very cumbersome. He likes to be a little freer.
inside this movie.
All the characters speak and do things, they are very down-to-earth, and there is almost no arrogance.
Ah Chang received important information from the ghost master, and he immediately acted on Chen Chuqi's request.
Immediately brought to the main hall of the Hu'an Palace, burned three incense sticks and inserted them on the incense burner, sealed in his hands, and recited words in his mouth, speaking in Fujian, speaking relatively fast, and he didn't know what he was talking about......
After a while, he picked up a pair of wooden, red, crescent-like things from beside the idol, and said that they were called the Holy Grail. It is divided into positive and negative sides, the bulging side is yin, and the flat side is yang.
Ask the gods a question, and you can get the answer by tossing the Holy Grail.
Yin and yang, for affirmation.
Yin and yin, for negation.
Yangyang, to be discussed.
The same cup hexagram needs to be rolled three times in a row with the same result to be determined.
When Ah Chang asked Chen Chuchu's date of birth, he calculated the eight characters, wrote them on paper and burned them in front of the statue of Zhong Kui, holding the wooden chalice in both hands and circling the fragrance three times: "Master Zhong Kui, there are visitors from the mainland today, Chen Chuchu wants to do the right way, drive away evil spirits, and need to send his natal life to seek the law, please give me an instruction......"
The Holy Grail falls to the ground and beats twice, hexagram, yin and yin.
Ah Chang was stunned for a moment, asked the same thing twice, and threw the Holy Grail twice, still yin yin, yin yin. In other words, it was three consecutive denials and rejected Chen's initial request for sustenance......
Ah Chang was a little embarrassed: "You ...... Why don't we try it in another palace, I have a lot of friends. ”
Chen Qichu sat in Achang's van and passively started the trip to Bay Island, from Tainan to Taipei, constantly trying to pass, the Three Virgins, Guan Dijun, Tiangong, etc., almost all of them were Yin and Yin cup hexagrams. Watching Ah Chang throw the Holy Grail, Chen Chuchu was a little suspicious of life.
While they were eating instant noodles on the side of the road, gongs and drums were beating not far away.
From afar, I saw a group of people carrying a sedan chair coming, with exaggerated movements, and all kinds of people in divine robes surrounded them from front to back, left and right, and their positions kept changing.
Ah Changzi took a sip of instant noodles, moved his seat to the side, and said, "This is the person from Jizo Palace, and today is the day when King Jizo Bodhisattva travels through the streets......
Chen Qiqi said: "I don't know if on the side of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, can I place my destiny on it?" ”
Before he could answer, suddenly three figures rushed in front of Chen Chuchu, these three boys wearing red robes, green robes, and blue robes, with complex faces painted on their faces, and there were two more fangs on the faces of the green robes.
They each had three lit incense sticks stuck in the back of their necks, and they looked Chen Qiqi up and down with wide eyes, each holding a trident, shackles, and fire sticks in their hands, and doing various movements.
Chen Chuchu's face was expressionless, but he was very panicked in his heart, not knowing what these three people meant, for fear of committing a taboo and angering the people around him. He put the instant noodles next to him and folded his hands in a pious gesture......
At this time, the blue robe with the fire stick in his hand stuffed the fire stick into Chen Chuchu's arms, and the three of them turned their heads and left, without saying anything. The team walked very fast, and after a moment of stunned work, it had already turned a corner at the end of the street and disappeared.
Ah Chang looked at the fire stick in his hand with some shock.
said that the fire sign was something used by officials in ancient times to detain prisoners, which was the tube of things on the table in the county official's yamen on TV.
The three people who just came over are beggars (a kind of identity profession, which can be regarded as a spirit medium), the robes they wear and the faces they paint are the heads of the official generals, and the second general is added to the loss! They were originally ghosts that plagued the world, and they were extremely powerful, and they were later subdued by the King of Jizo and turned into the protectors of the Dharma, specializing in punishing fierce gods and evil ghosts in the human world......
The tridents, fire sticks, and shackles in their hands are all ritual weapons, and of course there are others.
The head of the official general, the increase and loss of the two generals, originally two people, later the increase of the general divided into two, turned into a red robe and a blue robe, forming a trio, it is said that when killing ghosts in this way, it is easier to form a surrounding structure......
Chen Qiqi looked at the fire pick in his hand.
This fire sign is different from the one in front of the county official's desk when he watches TV, it is more luxurious, wooden, red lacquer, and a short stick connected to a thick wood with a pointed tip, on which a dragon and phoenix are carved, embellished with gold lacquer, and there is a circle at the top, and there is a fire character......
"Then why give it to me?"
"This ......"
Ah Chang didn't know that the gods traveled on the streets, only on festivals.
If there is no festival, then there have been too many bad things happening recently, please God go to the streets to suppress the evil spirits. And the boy plays the role of various gods, the robe he wears, the one he wears on his head, and the one he holds in his hand are all good things that are worshiped in the palace and temple every day, how can he give them to a passerby at will......
Don't say it's the gods themselves who send things, it's impossible!
Because the true God does not enter the mortal body, the mortal body cannot withstand the coming of the gods, unless ......
He stood up suddenly, looked at the end of the street, and asked in disbelief: "Friend, did the general Zeng who just gave you the fire stick, have three lit incense sticks stuck in the back of his head?" ”
Chen Chuchu: "Yes, all three. ”
Ask for the incense above your head, and step on the sky.
It's for real!
The king of Jizo parades the streets, and the boy pretends to increase the loss of the two generals, whether he is purely playing or really please, it depends on whether there are three lit incense sticks behind them.
Ah Chang's legs and feet were a little weak, and he sat back on the chair: "Yes, it is said that the true god is not a mortal body, but the second general who has increased the loss, called the King of Jizo, has an identity, but he is actually still a ghost." It is reasonable for them to ascend to the human body...... I'm still a little confused about giving you a fire sign. ”
With the fire stick, Chen Qiqi returned to the hotel.
Putting things in the bedside table, he flipped through the spell book given by Ah Chang, which was bound by thread, at least fifty or sixty years. When Ah Chang gave it, he sighed and said that the times are different, the effect of the spell is very limited, and ordinary people still have to rely on their lives......
The book is very thick, and it contains all kinds of mudras, mantras, ways to open the altar, almost everything.
Chen Chuchu didn't know if it was an illusion, but the things in it were not as difficult to understand as Ah Chang said, and he could still understand it if he thought about it a little seriously.
