Trick Eighty-One "Childlike Soul"
There are many people in the world who cherish their lives, who do not accept the chaos of the heavens, and who seek personal harm and kill their own strength, who knows that the ghosts need to be repaid.
"Xiaotian, a place in the middle of the river has been full of evil in recent days, I heard that ten children of Quanyin have died mysteriously, I am afraid that there are demons to haunt you, you immediately go down the mountain to end this matter."
An old Taoist priest with white hair and white beard on the futon had his eyes slightly open, and his legs were motionless as he spoke, the dust in his arms, and his legs lying cross-legged.
"Good!"
Three poles on the sun, in front of an inconspicuous Taoist temple gate in the deep mountains, two men, one tall and one short, were saying goodbye, and the shorter man glanced back and said.
"Senior Brother Hong, you will come back as soon as possible after this trip! This master meditates every day, and I am afraid that I will die of boredom alone! ”
"Good!"
The taller man smiled lightly, replied with only one word, then took a step back, bowed deeply towards the gate of the temple, and then turned and walked down the mountain.
From ancient times to the present, no matter what point people have developed, they have never escaped the word good and evil, Buddhism is originally a sect that punishes evil and promotes good, and presides over justice, but it still has not escaped the erosion of the desires of the world, resulting in most of the so-called famous temples and ancient temples in the world are covered with a veil of hypocrisy. There are no absolutes in everything, and some people who have left good roots and truly attained Buddhahood either retreat to the mountains and forests, or blend into the market, silently doing some true and good deeds.
Hong Tian, who is now in his early thirties, is such a person, to be precise, such a Taoist priest, he has no father or mother, and he wandered since he was a child, until he was found by his master and brought into the Taoist temple in the mountains. And it was not the first time for him to go down the mountain this time, so he picked up his mobile phone and searched several places where the recent murder occurred, until he saw the report of a recent murder, Hong Tiancai stopped to check carefully, locked the destination and hurried away.
At night, the alleys of the mountain village are silent, most of the young and strong laborers in the village have gone out to work, and only the old people and children are left behind in the sporadic houses with lights on, and then the occasional dog barking indicates that there are still people here. A house on the edge of the village looks a little different, the gate is now open, the door and the walls on both sides are plastered with white paper, and a brazier is placed in the middle of the courtyard, and paper money ingots are burning in the basin. Further inside, there was a table full of tributes, and in the middle of the picture was a smiling young man, but strangely enough, there was not a single watchman inside or outside the house.
The neighbor's barking dog suddenly stopped barking, as if startled by something, and it wasn't long before he saw a head poking out of the wall, and the head looked left and right, and then the whole person turned over.
"It's almost time, the first seven souls are home, I'll see who hurt you."
The man on the wall muttered, then took a willow leaf from his bosom, pinched the mantra with his right hand, and then placed the willow leaf above his left eye, and then looked at the funeral family. The white paper on the door rose automatically without wind, and a layer of mist quietly spread from the door to the courtyard, stopping in front of the brazier, and in a moment, a small red figure appeared in the courtyard out of thin air.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, the person on the wall sighed lightly and jumped off the wall, this person was none other than Hong Tian, who had come down the mountain on the order of the teacher. The red figure in the courtyard seemed to be aware of the existence of living people nearby, and slowly turned his head to look at Hong Tian's side, just this glance, which made Hong Tian's heart tremble slightly. At first glance, he thought it was a girl, but on closer inspection, it was actually a boy about ten years old wearing a wig and a red dress, with white eyes, no black pupils, a blue complexion, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
After the little ghost saw Hong Tian not far away, he took a step back with some fear, as if he had met a natural enemy, Hong Tian also noticed the strangeness of the little ghost, and sealed the mouth of the porcelain bottle that had been taken out with his left thumb, and sighed in a low voice.
"Heavenly reincarnation, your life deserves this catastrophe, but I think you died with hatred, I will allow you to say goodbye to your family for a moment, and then go with me again, rest assured, I will arrest the person who harmed you."
After hearing this, most of the resentment around the little ghost instantly dissipated, he nodded in the direction of Hong Tian, and then turned around and floated towards the house, Hong Tian saw this and walked into the hidden shadow under the tree on the side, staring at the door quietly. A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and with the gusts of fog drifting, mixed with the red-clothed imp moved towards Hong Tian's side, Hong Tian put the porcelain vase across his chest with his left hand, and the red-clothed imp was accepted in just a moment, seeing that it had been done, Hong Tian turned around and walked outside the village.
This time, the dog barked more, and the entire mountain village seemed to have been unsealed, a little more angry and less ghostly when he came, Hong Tian wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, and couldn't help but speed up his steps.
"Stop! Who? ”
Suddenly, a female voice sounded in Hong Tian's ears, he was startled, looked up, and at some point a girl appeared in front of him, this is the middle of the night, whose girl is so bold. With the faint light, Hong Tian looked carefully, with a high ponytail, a tall figure, wearing a black leather jacket on his upper body, and a pair of black boots under his skinny jeans.
"What do you see? Who is it? ”
Seeing Hong Tian looking at herself silently, the girl suddenly became vigilant, touched her back waist with her right hand, and asked loudly. Seeing this scene, Hong Tian's heart tightened, and he immediately guessed the identity of the other party, although they live in the mountains all the year round, they are not indisputable with the world, and their lifestyle and cognition are still advancing with the times.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm a night walker."
Hong Tian raised his hands while answering, the girl still did not relax her vigilance when she saw this, looked Hong Tian up and down, and spoke again.
"Fresh, don't you know that there has just been a murder in this neighborhood? Walking at night? I see that you are really suspicious, come back to the police station with me. ”
After that, he was about to step forward and handcuff Hong Tian, seeing this scene, Hong Tian was also helpless, and hurriedly said out loud.
"Don't, officer, don't be handcuffed, can't I go back with you?"
Without waiting to finish speaking, Hong Tian held his head in his hands to show unconditional cooperation, the policewoman thought for a moment, and immediately pushed Hong Tian towards a big road outside the village, and soon the two came to a black off-road vehicle on the side of the road, the car flashed double, and did not turn off. The policewoman opened the back door of the car, pressed Hong Tian in, and then got into the car herself, closed the door, and said a word to the front row.
"Drive and go back to the office."
Hong Tian held his head and glanced at it secretly, and saw that there were two male policemen in the front row, and the male policeman in the co-pilot happened to look back at this time, Hong Tian quickly retracted his gaze and continued to hold his head, and listened to the male policeman quip.
"Sister Wu Yue, why don't you go out and catch a Taoist priest back."
Only then did the policewoman notice that the suspect she had captured turned out to be a Taoist priest, and she was speechless for a while, and she held back for a long time before replying.
"Let's go back to the office for interrogation."
It didn't take much effort, and the group returned to the police station, Hong Tian was brought into the interrogation room by three policemen, and as soon as a few people sat down, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open with a "bang", and an old policeman broke in angrily, and after entering the door and looking around, his eyes finally fell on Hong Tian, and his eyes instantly rolled up, and he said angrily.
"What's going on with you guys? Didn't you say that the case was closed as suicide? Why did you still act without permission and catch a Taoist priest back? Do you think that public opinion is not fierce enough? ”
This questioning made the three of them dare not respond to a word, just bowed their heads and stood aside, Hong Tian also stood up with a few people, and the old policeman did a meal of on-site education with a lot of words, and finally left a sentence of "Hurry up and release people" and slammed the door. Hong Tian was very lucky and escaped this catastrophe, and before leaving, he also gave a fist salute to the policewoman Wu Yue, which made Wu Yue speechless for a while.
After leaving the police station, Hong Tian went straight to the suburbs, and then turned from the main road to the small road, after such a toss, the time had reached the early hours of the morning, Hong Tian saw that he was far away from the crowds, so he went down the road and got into a wood. After walking in the woods for about ten minutes, Hong Tiancai stopped, sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out a piece of yellow cloth from his satchel and spread it in front of him, placed the porcelain vase containing the red-clothed ghost in the center of the gossip diagram on the yellow cloth, and lit candles at the four corners, and chanted words in his mouth.
It didn't take long to see the red-clothed imp float out of the mouth of the porcelain bottle, and then slowly landed on the gossip map.
"Tell me the voice and appearance of the person who killed you, and I will deal with it, and then you will be reincarnated."
The red-clothed imp nodded, and then pulled out a red filament from his head, only to see the red filament fly up lightly, Hong Tian saw this and hurriedly reached out and grabbed the red filament. In the blink of an eye, the red filament disappeared into Hong Tian's palm, and then looked at the red-clothed ghost, and gradually disappeared into the gossip map, and when there was no sign on the gossip map, Hong Tian immediately got up and packed up his things and left the woods.
In an abandoned factory in the suburbs, a tall man was fiddling with things on the ground, a small black copper stove was "cooing" and steaming out, the man took out a photo from his arms and threw it into the fire under the copper stove, and then took out a small copper bell from his arms, looked at it and threw it into the copper furnace. With a wicked smile on his face, the man quietly watched the scene in the copper furnace, and after a while, there was a childlike scream in the copper furnace, and the man was unmoved, and took out a strand of hair from his coat pocket and threw it in, this time, the screams in the copper furnace became smaller and quieter, until there was no sound at all.
"The smell of corpses all over your body, even if you gain eternal life, it won't change the fact that you are not human!"
Hong Tian's casual words suddenly sounded in the corner of the factory, the man's figure was shocked, and he slowly turned his head to look at Hong Tian, the half-yin and half-yang face made people feel disgusting and weird at a glance, half of the corners of the man's mouth grinned, as if he was smiling, while the other half of the corners of his mouth did not move.
"Hehe~ Little Taoist, I don't know how thick the sky is, and no one's good deeds dare to be bad!"
Based on the principle of wasting time with more nonsense, Hong Tian didn't say much, and directly chanted the spell, and at this moment, the man suddenly became frightened, because he suddenly found that a gossip array appeared under his feet at some point. The man screamed, knocked over the copper furnace, and then jumped with all his strength, trying to escape from the formation first, but Hong Tian didn't give him a chance, and at the same time, a black net fell from the sky, carrying the man out of the air.
Hong Tian saw the opportunity, his eyes burst into light, his hands were folded, his two index sticks, and his middle finger pointed at the man in the net, and he shouted loudly.
"Fire, extinguish!"
The Bagua Array suddenly emitted bursts of dazzling golden light, and the man let out a painful scream in the net, and in an instant, the place where the man was illuminated by the golden light was like being burned by fire, turning into ashes at the speed of the naked eye, until the scream was completely burned out.
"Heaven reaps evildoers, the world is often reincarnated, plant cause and effect today, and seek hell tomorrow."
Hong Tian couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the murderer had been killed, and then quickly took back the net and turned to leave. The next day, Wu Yue, who was walking on the way to work, suddenly saw a familiar face in front of her, and looked at it, it was a Taoist priest, the Taoist priest smiled slightly, hugged his fist at Wu Yue, and then continued to walk forward.
