27: There are ghosts in the Foggy River
When the night did not get darker, You Qiuniang crossed two streets to her brother's house, where her brother was carving a small ghost statue for someone.
In Wuze County, there are many little ghosts, raised in the darkest place in their own homes, and generally ask someone to carve wooden or stone statues, or burn pottery figurines, and paint colors.
She told her brother that Zhao Yingyun wanted to carve the statue of Chijun, and her brother only thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
You Qiuniang was still a little surprised, he said: "Master said, we who make the statues of little ghosts, we must wear amulets, otherwise, we will be entangled by the little ghosts over time, and I can't raise the little ghosts to protect myself, because the little ghosts I raised will get angry and rebel after they find out that those carved little ghost statues are given to others, so I can't raise them." ”
As for the matter of raising Gu Talisman, his master did not recommend it very much, Gu worms are fierce, and they need to be cautious in raising them, and his master told him that he must obtain a talisman.
Moreover, in the past few days, he has a feeling of heaviness, and he is already wondering if he is entangled by something, and he is already preparing to go to the ancestral hall of the You clan tomorrow to ask the clan elder to cast a spell to exorcise evil spirits.
After he told his sister this, his sister You Qiuniang asked him to go to the teaching there tonight, so as not to go late tomorrow and be taken first.
So, he went to the house and took a carving knife and stuck it in his waist, sent his sister home first, and then went to Zhao Yingyun.
There are very few people who live in the county town now who don't know where Zhao Yingyun lives.
The sky was already a little dark, and the lights had already been turned on, and he saw that the lights in the room of the Priest were particularly bright, and he didn't know why, but he felt a sense of peace of mind when he saw the lights of the Lord's house.
Unlike other people's houses, even if he grew up in this Wuze County, he would have a creepy feeling when he saw a dark place where the lights in other people's homes couldn't shine.
Wuze County has very heavy rules for visiting above, generally shouting outside the door, and rarely takes the initiative to knock on the door.
So he didn't knock on the door, but shouted 'teaching' directly at the door, he thought that he might not be able to shout for a while, after all, he didn't shout very loudly, but a gentle voice immediately came from inside.
"Please come in!"
When he heard these two words, he had a sense of freshness, and few people in Wuze County said please words.
He cautiously pushed open the door, and what caught his eye was a small courtyard that was not spacious but very neat, and there was no blood all over the ground as he imagined.
Then I saw clearly that there was a person sitting on a deck chair in the middle of the small courtyard.
This man was looking at the starry sky and was not interrupted by his arrival.
What made him feel amazing was that the fire in the room only shone on the steps, but it seemed to be stretched by an invisible force, pulled to his side, forming a candle-like light that flowed around him.
Vaguely like a flame creature, it was helping him catch mosquitoes that wanted to invade its owner.
"Little You Dongshi, meet the Sect Master." Before You Dongshi finished speaking, his knees were about to kneel, but he was only halfway kneeling, and a bright light appeared in his eyes, he felt that he was kneeling on a ball of qi, and he looked down and saw that there was a cloud of red light under his knees.
This tenacious force lifted him up and forced him to stand up.
When I looked up again, I saw that the person lying on the chair had already sat up.
For the first time, he saw the oracle himself.
In the past few days, everyone has been secretly talking about the teachings, although many people have seen it, but many more people have not seen it.
At this time, he finally realized that the sentence 'The Lord of the Teachings does not look like a murderer at all'.
Not only did he not look fierce, but he felt that the face of the Sect Master looked extremely soft, and there was a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals, and even he felt that the face of the Sect was a little feminine.
"How can such a person be a murderer?" Such a thought flashed in You Dongshi's heart.
"Your name is You Dongshi? Who are you, Ulingva, Utshiva? Zhao Yingyun asked with some curiosity, he just wanted to know if there were any relatives with the same surname in this Wuze County.
"Ling Po and Shiva are both elders of the You clan, but Ling Po and Shiva have quarreled since childhood, so Shiva has been living in the reeds by the Foggy River outside the city."
Zhao Yingyun asked, and he made the relationship between You Lingpo and You Shiva clear.
"Do you know how to carve stone?" Zhao Yingyun asked again.
"Yes, the little one has learned the art of stone carving with his master since he was a child, and he just graduated from the school this year." You Dongshi said with some apprehension, he didn't want to talk about this, because he had just come out of school, and he was afraid that the other party would not want him.
"Hmm! It's okay, tomorrow morning, come to the Chijun Temple on the hillside by the river, get acquainted, right? Zhao Yingyun asked.
"Uh-huh, acquaintance! Then, the little one, I'll go there directly tomorrow ......" You Dongshi turned around when he said this, but hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Teach the lord, the little one, I heard that you will give a Red Monarch talisman, right?" The small, me, the small, the ......"
He looked at Zhao Yingyun's eyes, and stammered when he said it, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say in his heart.
"Everyone will give a Chijun talisman money, but now that you are entangled in the evil spirit, go in and worship Chijun!" Zhao Yingyun said.
You Dongshi was stunned, it was the first time he worshipped a god other than Wuze, but there was no particular resistance, because his master had said that in the Great Zhou Kingdom, they all worshiped Chijun.
So, he walked towards the house, and saw that in the middle of the room, there was a cluster of lamps, and there was a red date wood statue in it, and the position of the idol was much higher than the lamp, and the light of the lamps seemed to converge on the idol, making the idol seem to sit in a flaming glow.
He felt a warmth, I don't know if it was because there were too many lights in this room or what, he took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, collected the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then sincerely, knelt on the ground, and bowed three times.
While praying, he felt as if a flame was burning in the back of his head.
After worshipping, I walked out, and the night breeze blew, but there was no feeling of coldness, and the heaviness on my body disappeared.
Only then did he understand that the Sect Master saw that he was unhappy, so he hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you Lord Teach for driving away evil spirits for a small one." ”
"It's Chijun's nature that is blazing yang, and yin and evil are not allowed in the same room, you enter the room, sincerely respect Chijun, Chijun will protect you, don't thank me." Zhao Yingyun said.
But You Dongshi only felt that it must be the teachings to help him, because in his cognition, those ghosts and gods were all controlled by people.
However, what Zhao Yingyun said was indeed right, where Chijun was, it was difficult to tolerate yin and evil, he sincerely worshiped the statue of Chijun in the house, and emptied his mind, which was equivalent to a shallow visualization of Chijun, so he was dispelled by Chijun's divine power The yin and evil in his body.
You Dongshi went back, and Zhao Yingyun was lying there, with a red light on his body like a dark red butterfly flying around him.
He is through the Xuanguang to eat the yin dew, reconcile yin and yang, when his Xuanguang is no longer so dark red, that is to restore the balance of yin and yang, this process, also has a sense of understanding and growth.
However, in the future, if you combine the fire with the true evil of the Xuanguang and form a talisman, then another way of cultivation will be formed.
You Dongshi got up early the next morning, and after eating breakfast, he immediately came to the Chijun Temple outside the city, and then he found that his master Tong Anping was actually here.
I was surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
His master was not surprised to see him, and said: "I expected that you should come, if you don't come, then you just didn't listen to my words, you need a Red Monarch Talisman to protect yourself, and then my master and apprentice will help the Lord Teach the Lord to carve the Red Monarch with awe-inspiring power, so that the Sect can also see our craftsmanship." ”
Tong Anping's family inherited stone carving skills, but his generation of descendants has withered, there is a saying that there are too many small ghost statues, so that the little ghost can not be reincarnated, so they are jealous of the little ghost, so that their Tong family is slowly going to die.
In his generation, he actually only had one daughter, and the other boys all died, and others persuaded him to raise the dead child into a ghost, but he refused, and some people wanted to buy his child's body to raise a ghost, and he scolded the other party.
When he came here this time, he also had a trace of thought in his heart, he saw the fire in the courtyard of the Teachings from a distance that night, and the kind of divine power burned his eyes at that time, but after that, there was a feeling of comfort.
Deep down, he was actually wondering if he was cursed by something, and wanted to baptize himself with the divine flame of the Red Monarch.
And after You Dongshi heard his master's words, his original nervous heart also relaxed slightly, and he had to say yes again and again, in the final analysis, he didn't have much confidence in his heart about whether he could carve such a big stone statue, and now that the master is here, he will naturally be a lot more down-to-earth.
"Is the Priest here?" You Dongshi asked.
"That!" Tong Anping pointed in the direction with his mouth, and saw that under the tree in front of the Chijun Temple, that is, on the edge of the hillside, there was a cluster of shrubs, and there was a person standing there, looking at the foggy river.
Zhao Chengyun looked at the Fog River, which was still shrouded in thick fog in the sunlight at this time.
And in the fog, there was a boat floating there.
He also saw that many fishermen on the shore had not entered the water, and had tied their boats to the shore.
Apparently, they also spotted the strange boat in the river.
And Zhao Yingyun's eyes saw that there was a woman sitting in the cabin on that boat, looking at the people on the shore.
The ghosts in the water will turn into ghosts, also known as nightmares, and some of the ghosts combine with water creatures and become monsters.
The things on the boat seem to be waiting for the people on the shore to go down the river, but the people on the shore fish on the river all the year round, and they themselves also raise ghosts and Gu protections, and they can also feel the evil meaning on the boat, where do they dare to get off the boat.
Zhao Yingyun looked at it for a while, stopped looking, turned around and came back to the Chijun Temple, and took the pair of masters and apprentices to the statue.
He told the pair of masters and apprentices about his request, emphasizing that he needed one hand on the statue of Chijun to be between his waist and chest, and to be able to hold up a lamp.
After thinking for a while, Tong Anping said: "Lord Teaching, if that is the case, this statue may not be easy to transform, the material of this stone statue is actually not suitable for carving delicate things, and it is not suitable for transformation, I am willing to choose a stone for the Lord of the Teaching, re-carving, to ensure that the needs of the Lord of the Teaching." ”
Zhao Yingyun thought about it, and then agreed, since people said it was not suitable, then make a new one.
So, the two of them measured the height in the temple, and he himself returned to his residence and began to practice.
First of all, the weaving of the Xuanguang, condensing spells, such as braiding ropes, one at a time, from loose to condensed and solid, slowly, the mana that is braided, there is a feeling that it is no longer scattered, that is, there is a small success, at this time, the invisible mana in the dark, it will emit the Xuanguang.
Among them, one of the signs of Xuanguang Dacheng is that between swings, such as whipping, there is a sound, crackling like thunder.
Zhao Yingyun is now practicing the eighteen plates of yin and yang, that is, two thoughts, one positive and one negative twisting their mana with each other, just like twisting clothes, twisting from different angles, practicing more in this way, so that they can make their Xuanguang transparent, so that there will not be any dead ends that their Xuanguang can't patronize.
This is like the martial arts routines practiced by practicing martial arts, many routines feel useless when they are practiced, and they will think about why others will beat you according to the route that your routines can resist.
However, the advantage of the kata is that no matter the opponent changes the route of any hit, a kata can hit the opponent and may make itself more flexible.
After practicing the eighteen plates of yin and yang to mastery, you can go to practice a skill - Da Luo waving sleeves.
