Chapter 42 Egg Fishing
Whew-
Exhaled, the tight string in my heart finally loosened.
I rolled my eyes, but I didn't expect it to be bitten by the rice cook.
"Apples are a little sour." Liu Ruxiang added.
It almost scared me to death just now, and I was still wondering what it was that took a bite of the apple.
But in the blink of an eye, the apple suddenly sank in the afterglow of my vision.
It was as if he had been pulled into the bottom of the water by a big hand and disappeared.
What's going on!
I held my breath nervously, my eyes looking around the pond, wondering if the apples would have drifted somewhere.
However, it didn't.
"Gone." Liu Ruxiang murmured softly. This proves that I am not dazzled.
"That's true."
"It's not simple."
Liu Ruxiang turned around, found a branch from the forest not far away, stretched it into the edge of the pond, and sank a whole wooden pole one person high.
This pond is not ordinarily deep.
She put down her stick, opened the wooden box, put on her master's robe and gown, and put on the mask of an old woman with a red face, and called me to her side to help her.
Liu Ruxiang said as she took out a dustpan and began to set up the altar: "The things below here are not simple, if this can't be successful at one time, the horror will be a big fight next." ”
"How?" I pressed on.
"Put away this underwater evil soul in one go, and directly reduce it, if it doesn't work, you will have to go into the water to take the corpse at that time, and it will be a lot of trouble." As Liu Ruxiang was talking, she raised her hand and lit a handful of incense, holding a bell in her other hand, shaking it constantly.
Green smoke rises and mist fills the air.
Liu Ruxiang recited the mantra in his mouth and walked around the pond.
I followed behind her, cautiously turning my head to observe the movement below the pond.
The fish and shrimp were playing in the water, and a few splashes suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and the tail of the fish could be faintly seen.
After walking in a circle, Liu Ruxiang continued to practice.
"Ask Shan, think about it carefully, what is the difference between the situation I encountered this time and my previous approach?"
As she spoke, she took out two eggs from her bag, opened a small jar, which was red water boiled in sumac, and then dipped it in a towel and applied it to the eggs.
The original pale white egg turned bright red, just like the color of nightshade.
I was in a trance for a while, isn't this thing the red happy egg used by a child when he is one year old and catches Zhou?
But I still haven't figured it out about Master's question, and I've done outdoor Dharma rituals before.
"Is it at the water's edge?" I guessed.
"It's a little right, but it's not complete," Liu Ruxiang explained slowly, "It's like the old practice, whether it's asking the gods or exorcising evil spirits, there is a person present, and we are doing it to people." And this time, there was no one, but a baby who had been dead for many years. ”
"And we didn't even have the corpse of a baby, we didn't even touch it, so it was much more difficult. If you change to an ordinary Yeluzi master, even if you call a team, you will be helpless. ”
As I was explaining, the eggs stained with Sumu red water had been placed on the ground and dried in the shade.
Liu Ruxiang took out a thin white thread, tied it to the red egg, and tied the other end of the thread to the wooden pole, turning it into a fishing rod-like thing.
"What is this?" I scratched my ears and cheeks, not understanding what it was.
"As I just said, you can't do this kind of ritual out of thin air, you have to have an object, or a corpse, or a living person, and now you have no choice but to use this trick to fish."
"You take it, don't let go, I'll talk about the rod later, you just slowly put the egg stalk in your hand into the water, so that the egg hangs under the water, can't sink, can't be exposed."
I grabbed the "fishing rod" handed over by Liu Ruxiang, and I felt more and more magical.
That "brother" under the water, will he really take the bait?
Liu Ruxiang grabbed a few yellow paper talismans and shook them with his hand, and the rune paper spontaneously combusted without wind in an instant, and there was no flame, but it began to burn directly into paper ashes, which was quite magical.
"The public is pious, you are pious, and the fragrant flowers are invited: I heard that the disciples of today are piously invited, and now they are coming, and the eight disasters and three disasters are liberated, and Guan Xing is auspicious and ......auspicious."
was singing the scriptures of the book loudly, Liu Ruxiang's hand pinched a few pieces of yellow rune paper completely burned, turned into paper ashes and floated into the pond water in front, she bent down, picked up the short sword in the other hand, immediately shook the copper bell, and shouted at me: "Pole!" ”
I stared intently, waited for this moment, immediately raised the egg stalk in my hand, slowly turned around, and gently dropped the bright red egg into the water, just below the surface.
In the pond, it seemed that something was woken up by Liu Ruxiang's movements, and for a while, countless fish floated on the water surface, some big and some small, all jumping out of the water.
Tossed and swayed, as if something was about to appear.
The water is churning, stirring up the waves, rippling and rippling......
There was a look of horror on my face, and I couldn't have imagined that there could be such a big commotion under this pond.
The next moment, there was a pull at the top of the wooden pole, and before I could react, I saw the red egg sink suddenly.
I immediately came to my senses, lifted the pole up, and stammered with the underwater thing.
I could clearly see that just below the pitch-black water, the red egg was dragged by a whitish shadow.
"Master......"
Liu Ruxiang saw the situation and immediately shouted: "Catch it, don't let go!" ”
With that, an arrow rushed over, and raised his hand to glue a piece of yellow rune paper to the wooden pole.
The underwater thing immediately became much weaker, but when I grabbed it in my hands, I was always scared.
Liu Ruxiang knew that this was difficult, so she couldn't help but speed up, brought a bowl with raw rice, poured candle oil mixed with cinnabar, stirred it evenly, and immediately emitted thick white smoke.
While singing the scriptures, she picked up a pinch of rice with her hand and threw it precisely to the surface of the water where the red egg was.
When the rice grains fall into the water, they make a "zrazla" sound like red-hot iron.
As the rice grains sank into the water, I only felt the momentum coming from the wooden pole in my hand getting stronger and stronger, and it was still shaking, and I had to use two hands to grab it.
Liu Ruxiang knew that the things under the water were starting to get into trouble, so she had to speed up the speed of sprinkling rice in her hand, and in an instant, a large bowl of rice was thrown in.
The things in the water struggled more and more violently, and I calmed down and fell backwards, feeling that it was hard to hold on to him anymore.
"Hold on, there's one last step left!" Liu Ruxiang said, grabbed a few bamboo slips with her backhand, and threw them underwater.
But who would have thought that at this moment, a white shadow would float under the water.
