Chapter 11: Cinnabar Talisman
Maria was surprised and asked, "Oh my God! This is too evil, Dao Ye, you are an immortal? Or a god? ”
The old man in the ragged shirt said with a smile: "The poor road is neither an immortal nor a god, I am a crazy old man, a crazy old man, a crazy old man, and a fool of himself." ”
Maria said to Lao Dao in a pleading tone: "No matter what you are, please save Suoba!" These big rats are too bad things, not to mention the calamity of things, they will also harm people, you killed all these turtle bastards, and it can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven. ”
"Can't be saved, can't be saved, Suo Ba, this kid is very stubborn, staying in the world sooner or later will be a scourge, his stinky meat might as well feed this group of big rats! Isn't it beautiful to see the excitement of the poor road! ”
Lao Dao turned to the Rat King and said with a smile: "Do you want to treat this stinky boy as a Tang monk?" I heard that eating Tang monk's meat can lead to immortality, and eating this kid's stinky meat is afraid that you will ruin your Taoism! ”
The Rat King said in a sullen voice: "This kid has harmed me a lot in Rat City, and I will not tolerate him, so I advise you not to go on this trip to the troubled water." ”
The tone of this rat king imposes a little hardness, but there is also a lack of confidence in the hardness.
This tattered old man is really a moody person, his complexion suddenly changed, he was still smiling just now, and suddenly became cold as ice.
He said coldly: "Since Poor Dao can't persuade you, a damn ghost, don't blame Poor Dao for being black, Poor Dao will give you a ride immediately." ”
Let's talk about it! Gently shook the dust whisk in his hand, and put the long white hair of the whisk on the top of the rat king's head.
The Rat King suddenly shook as if he had been electrified, and he opened his teeth and claws to get rid of the dust that controlled him.
I saw Lao Dao's left hand reach into the rag bag he was carrying diagonally, and he scratched inside for a long time before pulling out a yellow note from it.
This yellow note looks ordinary, but in fact it is a charm written in cinnabar.
"Cinnabar" is not only a medicinal material that blindly cures diseases and saves people, but also a magic object to restrain dirty things.
Because its cinnabar contains toxicity, it should be put less when it is used in medicine, and it can be stopped, many medicinal materials contain poisonous ingredients, which is called fighting poison with poison, and people often say that it is three points of poison.
"Cinnabar" is indispensable in feng shui, or in catching ghosts and demons, and it is used to write talismans and draw spells.
As for why cinnabar is so magical? It's not just a few words that can be explained.
Cinnabar looks at its ruddy red face into granularity, and the "vermilion" is also red! It looks like sand, and that's probably where its name comes from.
Using cinnabar to draw talismans can play a long-lasting role.
At the same time, it can also give people a striking feeling, and this bright red appearance can have a huge deterrent effect on these demons and monsters, making them intimidating.
In addition, in Taoism, they have this view, that is, in the process of formation, cinnabar absorbs the purest yang energy between heaven and earth.
And these yang energy can just be used to restrain yin, dirty things are heavy yin, and it is in line with the law to overcome yin with yang, so cinnabar has become an indispensable raw material for painting talismans in Taoism.
In particular, the Maoshan Taoist priests, who are known for their mystery, are often used to drive away evil spirits for the people.
Therefore, these Taoist priests are accustomed to carrying cinnabar with them for emergency use.
The ragged old man pinched the yellow paper cinnabar in his hand, and unhurriedly pasted it on the rat king's seal hall.
At this time, the Rat King's body suddenly shook violently, and then he remained motionless.
Its rat eyes seemed to be nailed, staring straight at the old face of the old shirt.
The old man in a ragged shirt really lifted the curtain of the door and showed such a small face.
At the same time, Lao Dao's sudden move surprised Maria, she thought to herself, this old guy was shocked, saying one thing and doing another, what kind of person is he?
Is it here to harm or to save people? It doesn't look like a bad guy either.
The old man in the ragged shirt withdrew the dust and still hugged it to his chest, drooping a pair of big eyelids and squinting his eyes.
He said to the Rat King: "Good you are a demon, you dare to eat human flesh alive in broad daylight, and the poor Dao sees that your qi is exhausted, and today I took your life, lest you come out again and harm people for no reason." ”
Brothers in war; On the battlefield of father and son, the rat prince saw that his Lao Tzu was subdued by the old way, and he stretched out his claws to grab the old way's broken robe.
Lao Dao smiled slightly, and did not dodge, he waved his hand violently, and slammed the dust in his hand on the back of the rat prince.
only heard a "pop", and the rat prince was whisked into the dust.
The arrogant and domineering Rat Prince couldn't help but fight, and in an instant the Rat Prince was beaten back to his original form.
This big mouse kicked his legs a few times under the wall, blinked a few times, rolled his eyes, and at the same time bled from his five orifices, and his grinning burps were cold.
As soon as the rat soldiers and rat generals saw that the rat king was fixed, their royal highness the crown prince was also smoked to death by the old way.
As the saying goes, the dragons have no head, the trees fall and scatter, and these large and small rats all scattered and fled after throwing down Suoba.
Suoba was thrown to the ground and fell with a "snort" and hurriedly got up.
"Fucking fell to my death."
The broken old Dao shook the tattered robe, raised the dust in his hand and shook it in front of the Rat King.
This snow-white dust is like a ghost using a spirit flag, floating in the wind in mid-air, and a piece of silver light is faintly visible.
Suo Ba looked at the ragged old Taoist god deliberately making a fuss, he really didn't understand what the hell he was playing?
Breaking the old way while shaking off the dust, his mouth is babbling and muttering.
"Tianyuan Taiyi, the main soldier of the Jingsi, guarding the world, protecting the world, protecting the essence, the gorgeous embroidered skirt is crowned with a green scarf, the green dragon is on the left, the white tiger is on the right, admiring the dragon sword, the chapter of five blessings, the commander of the gods, the three or five generals, if there is evil, it will be killed, if there is a monster, it will be destroyed, Fuyu Fuxiang, enlighten Xiyi, the evil monster will be destroyed, the five emperors will descend to power, protect the world for ten thousand years, the emperor will be in the sun, the yellow dragon will descend to the sky, the emperor will be in the period, Jingxiao Cave Chapter, eliminate demons but not, urgent as the law!"
As soon as the old man in the ragged shirt recited the mantra, the rat king on the opposite side fell to the ground with a "plop".
I saw the old guy rolling on the ground for a while, and gradually his true form appeared, and a big mouse with sparse fluff and snow-white was lying on the ground.
Lao Dao casually took out a cloth bag from his arms and shook it off.
Lao Dao squatted down, twisted the silver hair of the felt, and looked at the big white mouse with a smile on his face.
"It's not easy for you to practice the Tao for hundreds of years, and you haven't done much harm to heaven and reason, so I'll spare your life for the time being. However, there is a lot of noise here, and it is not a place for cultivation, so the poor road should find another pure place for you to cultivate! ”
Lao Dao muttered while reaching out to pinch the long tail of the mouse.
He picked up the big white mouse, stuffed it into his pocket, tied the mouth of the pocket and put it in his arms.
Lao Dao turned to Suo Ba and said: "You kid is an evil bone, it is very easy to attract dirty things, the jade wrench is worn on the hand, it has the effect of protecting the body, and it can not be taken off at will, it can keep you safe, the wrench is in the person, the wrench is not in the death, remember to ......"
The old man in a ragged shirt hugged the dust, pulled the broken shoes and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
After walking a long way, he threw down a sentence: "Put the grinding plate back at the entrance of the cave, and the small shop will be safe." ”
After the old man walked from the tavern, he took the Rat King straight to Dadingzi Mountain.
Look up at the undulating peaks and mist-shrouded in clouds and mist. Although it is late autumn, it is still full of greenery.
Because it is far from people, it is quite pure, and it is an excellent place to practice.
After Lao Dao put the big white mouse on the mountain, he gave another explanation to it.
"Poor Dao knows that you are a vole that has eaten Taishang Laojun's bamboo slips, so you have gained spirituality and entered the Daomen."
He sighed lightly again, and then said: "Speaking of which, you and I have a deep relationship, and Poor Dao was a boy by Lao Jun's side in his previous life. Back then, when you gnawed on the bamboo slips, it was the poor road that beat you with a ruler, which ruined your good deeds, if you were allowed to eat more, you would have become an immortal. In the past life, you owe it to this life, although you have done a lot of evil, so the poor road still let you go. From now on, if you practice here, you will completely strip away this skin after years of penance, and remember to do more good deeds, otherwise you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice, and the poor way will not forgive you. ”
It turns out that this Dao and a demon still have such a relationship, no wonder Lao Dao showed mercy to its subordinates.
After listening to Lao Dao's advice, the big white mouse knelt in front of Lao Dao like a person, kowtowed to him three times in a row, and then turned around and got into the grass.
Suopa and Maria stared blankly at the place where the old way disappeared, and they couldn't come to their senses for a long time.
This old way is also evil, and he easily cleaned up these big and small rats, and he knows everything about the strange things that happen in the tavern.
Suoba said to himself, "I don't see it! This crazy old man is much more powerful than Wu Banxian, this old guy is not an immortal, at least he is also a half-immortal body, and I have the opportunity to worship him as a teacher to subdue demons and subdue demons. ”
Maria said urgently: "Suoba, don't talk about calves here, let's hurry up and move the grinding pan back!" When those disgusting things come back, we can't open this store? ”
Suo Ba showed a wicked smile: "Don't let us be, I don't know that we two people think we are two!" ”
Maria pinched her waist and snorted at Suoba face: "Hmph! Thinking about the beauty, I see that you are a toad and want to eat swan meat, you have to have that verbal blessing! You are an old bachelor dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law, and you are about to bubble your beauty out of the snot bubbles. Tell you that my mother's life is very hard, and you are not afraid of killing you? ”
Suo Bayi bared his teeth and said: "You mother-in-law is really an old sow chewing a broken bowl, her stomach is full of words, I am a toad, you are a swan?" You'd like to fly one for me to see! You say your life is hard, but I don't believe that there are still hard stones? Ben Belle is a stone, steamed or boiled, and it will knock off your front teeth. ”
Maria patted the ash on her clothes: "If there is no old lady who begs the old man to save your dog's life, I'm afraid you would have fed the big rat a long time ago." And Belle! I think you're just a bunch of rat, and it's disgusting to think about. ”
The matter calmed down, and the two of them also came to leisure, and you came and I fought for a while.
Under Maria's command, Soba quickly smashed the grinding plate back into the hole in the Rat City.
The grinding plate and the grinding stone formed a formation again, not to mention that those rats could not enter in the future, even the rat king who was quite profound, wanted to go back and be the king.
After a day of tossing, Suo Ba was tired of becoming his third grandson, he lay on his bed, and after a while, he began to dream of spring and autumn.
But for the explanation of the old way before leaving, he had long forgotten to go out of the clouds, and the jade wrench was still placed next to his pillow to sleep with him.
"Suoba......"
As Suo Ba was falling asleep, suddenly, Maria's voice came from outside the window.
She called Suoba's name one after another, and the voice floated in the air like a ghost's cry, making people feel numb and crispy when they heard it.
