Chapter 21: The Twin Figures
"Grandpa, have you ever seen the double ghost statue enshrined in the house?" I didn't want to tell my grandfather too much about what happened last night, but I still couldn't hold back, after all, there are many questions that I can't solve on my own.
"Twin ghosts? Which two ghosts? "Grandpa is worthy of being an expert, and the two ghosts are like my own names, which is understandable.
"Infant Spirits and Hades."
"Where did you see that!" Grandpa changed his unhurried personality in the past, and asked in a hurried tone.
"Right in the house I told you about yesterday."
"Hades is one of the ten great gods and ghosts of Taoism, although it is a ghost, it is not evil, and it is in charge of people's life and death. The infant spirit also gave you a general explanation just now. It seems that the legend is not groundless. ”
Grandpa always likes to sell at critical moments, hanging people's appetites but not saying the following, which says that half of the heart is left and half of my heart is not the same as that of a cat scratching.
"What a legend, grandpa, say it quickly, don't make a fool of yourself! I'm in a hurry! ”
"It seems that the old man is indeed engaged in the trick of prolonging his life, but I didn't expect him to be so desperate for himself, and he actually used the infant spirit to renew his life, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be eaten by the infant spirit."
"Did the child who disappeared before that have anything to do with him?"
"There must be, the missing child is used to honor the infant spirit, once the infant spirit gathers the gold, wood, water, fire and earth, it will obtain the entity, and then cast the spell on the infant spirit, he will get eternal life and boundless mana."
I was stunned when I heard Grandpa's words, simply put, the child was eaten by a ghost, and then he ate the ghost again.
"Didn't a child escape, does that mean his law was broken?"
"If only it were that simple, no child has been missing since that child, and now it seems that he may have been eaten by the infant spirit, and if his life is golden, then you can't come back yesterday! His life may be the same as that of one of the children that the infant spirit had eaten before, so that the infant spirit could not digest it in a short period of time, and his power was greatly reduced, so that you were lucky enough to escape. ”
"Does that mean he'll stay there forever and won't hurt anyone again?"
"The current calm is only temporary, and when it is digested, it will definitely look for the child of the golden personality to complete the spell. It was now one step away from transforming into a humanoid form, how could it give up so easily? ”
"Do you think I can beat it, then?" Actually, I still want to go tonight, after all, its existence is a scourge. I always feel that since I was born in Taoism, I can see things that ordinary people can't see, so I must carry a mission that ordinary people can't accomplish.
"Just you?"
I could hear the disbelief in my grandfather's words, and gritted my teeth and said recklessly.
"Grandpa, am I bad in your mind? Look at it, I'll take him! With that, he turned around and prepared to go back to his room to pack his things and prepare for a big job tonight.
Since I officially joined the sect, my grandfather once said that everyone has their own destiny, and they are destined to hide, so let me face it bravely and believe in my potential.
When I finished packing up and found my grandfather still drinking tea leisurely in the yard, my grandfather saw me coming out and called me in.
"You can hold the cinnabar charm, wrench your fingers and leave your body, the baby spirit uses the child it eats to create illusions to confuse you, you only need to find the real body of the baby spirit and dig three feet in the southwest direction outside the house, lay a layer of charms before burying it, and then lay a layer after burying it, don't let it touch the land directly, otherwise it will be wasted, put a bloodstone on the charm to press it down and then bury the pit. You're done. ”
I knew that my grandfather would not be so cruel as not to teach me how to do it, so I took the bloodstone that my grandfather handed over and put it in a small sealed iron box, it turned out that the bloodstone was really a stone infected with dog blood, and I thought it was just a random name.
"Remember, don't look directly into the eyes of any infant object, if you don't come out in time, you will die in the illusion and never come out again. Don't be afraid if you or any of you fall into the illusion, be sure to stay calm and stick the charm I gave you on the mountain roots. At the same time, Grandpa pointed to the position in the middle of his eyes, indicating that there was the Yamane Cave.
And with a peachwood sword three inches above the head, the illusion can be broken. But if both of them are apparitioned, then ask for more blessings. ”
Grandpa's tone was light, but that didn't mean he wasn't worried, on the contrary, I knew that he was even more nervous than I was. He doesn't show it, he just doesn't want to burden me.
After saying hello to my grandfather, I went out, and as soon as I walked to the door, my grandfather chased me out and gave me a wad of valuable money and three incense sticks, and told me to burn some money paper for my grandfather in the northeast of the house before 11 o'clock to pray for their protection.
After burning the money paper, put the incense in the south, and if you find that the incense burns two long and one short on the way, you must leave immediately anyway.
"What's the point of two long and one short?"
"People are afraid of three long and two short, and ghosts are afraid of two short and one long. Two long and one short are also called life-urging incense. With that, Grandpa went back to the house with his hands behind his back.
