Chapter 3: The Demon Cat Shocks the Corpse
Master and I stayed at Xiaozi's house, had dinner, and finished the day's homework, and it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. I'm going to wake up early tomorrow morning, so I'm going to rest early. Before he could lie down, he heard a scream outside.
"Oh no! Corpse fraud! ”
"Mom! Run......"
When the master heard this, his brows furrowed, his eyes were shining, he screamed badly, got up and ran towards the mourning hall. I also hurriedly ran out, and the master shouted to me without looking back, "Bring the wooden fish!" ”
I hugged the wooden fish and followed behind, and ran to the mourning hall, and saw that the men guarding the spirit had already run away. The filial sons and grandsons listened to the movement and came to check it with flashlights.
I had just run to the mourning hall, and it was pitch black. Before I entered, I felt a cold breath coming from inside, and I drilled straight into the human body through the cotton jacket. I shuddered, and quickly recited the six-character mantra a few times before I felt better.
Before I could enter, I heard the master shout from the dark mourning hall: "Fight !! ”
Immediately afterward, I saw a black shadow and a sharp sword rushing towards me. Fortunately, I followed the master's practice every day, and I reacted quickly, and when I saw an iron bridge, I dodged it.
Master rushed out of it and shouted to me, "Don't let that beast escape!" ”
I steadied myself and looked around, where was there still a shadow. I didn't even know what that dark shadow was just now. The master said two words of pity, and then walked towards the filial son and the others who rushed to hear the sound.
The people didn't know what was going on, so they called the guardian and asked him. Most of the guardians are young and strong men, and when something happens here, they all run away, and only one young offspring remains. The surname is Liu, known as Liu Daring, as the name suggests, he is very bold.
But at this moment, Liu Daring's face turned pale with fright, his lips trembled vigorously, and he couldn't bite the cigarette. According to his recollection, several people were playing cards by the stove to keep vigil, when they suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and the door of the mourning hall was blown open by the wind with a bang, and the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes blew in.
Liu Daring just wanted to close the door, when he suddenly saw a pitch-black cat break in, jumped on top of the coffin in one step, and howled at everyone.
People say that black cats are psychic, and the reason why they have to arrange a guardian is for fear of being frightened by the cat and causing a corpse. When everyone saw this, they were all stunned. It took three or five seconds for Liu Daring to react, throw the poker and go to catch the cat.
At this moment, I heard a tooth-aching "stabbing and stinging" sound from the coffin, as if someone was scratching the lid of the coffin with his fingernails. And the lid of the coffin suddenly lifted a crack, and a wisp of cold air like white smoke came out of it, like a haze in a person's mouth. Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and people shivered with cold.
At the same time, the light bulbs in the mourning hall flickered and went out, and it was pitch black all around. Seeing this, everyone shouted and ran away. Fortunately, the master arrived in time and quickly recited the Vajrasattva Spell to suppress the corpse.
The filial son complained a few words to Liu Daring, and expressed his gratitude to the master. Liu Daring looked aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything. Just when everyone was talking, they felt that the wind was rising again, and it was cold. At the same time, in the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, there was a sound of "stabbing and stabbing" again.
Liu Daring screamed again, and his legs were weak with fright. The others also looked at each other, not daring to lean forward, and they all looked at the master with their eyes.
The master frowned, snorted, and secretly said strangely, so he asked everyone not to come forward, let me knock on the wooden fish and recite a mantra, and go in with him.
I've never seen a dead person when I'm so old, let alone anything like this. Although I followed the master to do a few rituals, they were all cremations, and there were only urns. But now, I can only bite the bullet. I first recited the six-character mantra in my heart a few times, and then knocked on the wooden fish and followed the master towards the mourning hall.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the mourning hall, I looked through the reflection of the snow, and saw that the lid of the coffin in the mourning hall had been opened, and a dry palm with a fingernail more than three feet long stretched out from it. When I saw this, my tongue was knotted when I was chanting the mantra, and the wooden fish was also knocked out of order.
The Master had just walked to the door, but he had not entered, but he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, as if he had discovered something. He turned his head suddenly, stared at the roof of the house opposite, and shouted, "Brute! So it was here! Tyre! ”
The last sound, like a flood of bells, shook my ears and buzzed. I looked away from Master's eyes, but I saw a snow-white cat lying on the roof opposite!
What about the black cat? How did you turn white in a second?
The white cat was slender, like a small leopard, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between them and the snow. At this time, the master saw through the original form, and immediately stood up, the hair on his body exploded, and he looked at the whole circle. It opened its mouth and let out a terrible cry that made people want to cover their ears.
I looked at the cat, and I saw that it was screaming incessantly, and its body was getting bigger and bigger. Standing in the sky, the roof couldn't hold it, and it made a crumbling sound. A pair of blood-red eyes became larger than a large lantern, and it seemed to contain a sea of blood, and the waves were rolling. It opened its huge bloody jaw and bit me down.
I looked at it in a daze, knowing very well that I could dodge which way I jumped, but no matter how hard I tried, my body was like it was no longer mine, and I couldn't move a single inch no matter what.
Are you going to be eaten by this huge demon cat? What a demon spell at this time! What about Master? Master, come and save me!
At this moment, I suddenly felt a pure and peaceful warm current from the wrist of my right hand, which instantly spread all over my body. Wearing a Buddha relics bracelet on his wrist, it shines brightly.
I came to my senses, and when I looked at it, there was a huge cat demon there, and it was still the kitten. Everything just now was just an illusion. I don't want to be on the road all of a sudden. If it hadn't been for the Buddha relics that saved me, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The snow-white cat demon seemed to be counterattacked, screamed, turned over and ran. I didn't have time to chase it, only to hear the high-pitched sound of the Buddha's horn behind me, and when I looked back, I couldn't help but be surprised, and I almost peed my pants.
At the moment when I was confused by the cat demon, there was another change in the mourning hall. I saw that the coffin lid placed on the mourning hall had been turned over to the ground on one side, and the old lady who had long since passed away stood up straight from the coffin at this time.
Corpse fraud!
The old lady's skin was dry and stiff, no longer the kindness in the photo, but there was a strange smile on her face. The eyes were fierce, and the nails of his hands had grown to more than three inches. She stood in the coffin, her body trembling incessantly, as if she wanted to jump out, but she couldn't.
The reason why this zombie can't move is because it was suppressed by the master. I saw the Master sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing the mourning hall. Holding a rosary in his left hand, he made a demon seal in his right hand, and he quickly recited the mantra of Amitabha Buddha in his mouth.
The Demon Seal is one of the five seals of Shakya, and the right hand is placed on the right knee, and the finger touches the ground to show that the demons are subdued.
Legend has it that when Shakya was practicing and attaining enlightenment, there were demon kings who kept coming to disturb him, in order to stop Shakya's purification. Later, Shakya touched the ground with his right finger, so that the earth was used as evidence, so the earth god came out to prove that Shakya had cultivated the Buddha's path, and finally made the demon king fearful, so it was called the demon seal. And because it touches the ground with its fingers, it is also called a touchdown print.
Suppressing zombies with such a powerful demon slaying seal is really a big fuss. It's just that the master has compassion in his heart and can't bear to beat him to the point of being scattered with thunder, so he can't stop reciting the mantra of Amitabha Buddha's death, wanting to surpass the old lady's disturbed soul.
The old lady had just formed a zombie, so it didn't look terrifying. After the initial panic, I quickly calmed down. So he knocked on the wooden fish and recited the mantra of the past life with the master, surpassing the dead.
After all, the strength of two people is greater than that of one person, and soon, the old lady gradually closed her eyes, and her nails more than three feet long gradually retracted. With a "poof", he fell back into the coffin.
Seeing this, Master hurriedly jumped up and beckoned me to put the lid of the coffin back on. A few more handprints were put on the lid of the coffin, and then the Buddha horn was chanted. After doing all this, the light bulb in the mourning hall flashed twice, and finally lit up.
The filial sons and grandsons who had been waiting outside for a long time saw the lights on in the mourning hall, and one by one stretched their necks to look inside. Master beckoned, "Come in, it's all right!" ”
Only then did the filial sons and grandsons rush in and bow down to the master. The master hurriedly helped everyone up, and after thinking about it, he persuaded the filial son to send the old lady to be cremated early tomorrow morning, so that similar things would not happen again in the future.
The filial son was very embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Master, you don't know, this burial was instructed by my old lady before she died, and it must be obeyed, my old lady said, if you don't do what she said, you won't let me go if you are a ghost, and your own son can't do it!" You don't know wow, my old lady is tough, if she says something, she will definitely do it! ”
It's the first time I've heard of such a mother in the world, and I can't help but cover my mouth and snicker.
Master glared at me and said, "It's okay, the poor monk has already sent Ling Ci's soul to Elysium, and he won't come back to you, you just have to rest assured that it will be cremated." ”
When the filial son heard this, he was overjoyed. Fang Cai's toss, he also saw it in his eyes. I didn't want my mother to be so uneasy when she died, but after listening to Master's words, my heart was at ease at the moment, and I said that I would contact the crematorium tomorrow.
After a night of tossing, I finally settled down. The night watchman was reassigned, and the rest went back to rest. I was about to go back to sleep, but I didn't want to be grabbed by the master and said, "Apprentice, follow the master, let's go meet the demon cat." ”
I was taken aback when I heard this. Glancing at the sky, it was close to zero o'clock. I still had lingering feelings about the demon cat in my heart, so I said, "Master, it's so late, where can I find the demon cat." It's better to finish here and find time to go. ”
Master shook his head and said, "No! This demon cat is not trivial and very spiritual. We've already disturbed it. I'm afraid I'll be too late, so I will be run away. ”
"Oh~~ Okay......" Although I was ten thousand unhappy in my heart, I still followed the master. As soon as the two of them cleaned up a little, they left the village and walked towards the mountain.
Outside the village is a large area of farmland, and the clouds and mountains rise from the ground, although it is only about 100 meters high, but the dark outline is revealed at this time, but it also looks mysterious. A dirt path in the field, full of potholes, is covered with snow at this time, and if you are not careful, you will twist to your ankles.
Fortunately, the snow left traces of the demon cat, and we were not afraid of not finding it. It's just that I was deeply surprised that there were not just a cat's paw prints on the snow, but a large mess.
