Chapter 13. -for-tat
I reached out and pulled Master's feet, trying to pull Master out with brute force, but Master's weight itself was not light, and with the pile of tables on my body, I couldn't pull it at all. I didn't dare to climb up and push the table rashly, for fear that Master would be hurt because of it. I tried hard for a while, but I still couldn't do anything.
I was suddenly very scared, this fear was accompanied by a sad feeling, I didn't hold back and started crying, crying and shouting, Master, what's wrong with you, you come out quickly, you haven't taught me anything, you said you can solve this guy, how can the dead old man talk and not talk, you are so motionless and I have to let the villagers help later, you are here to help, how can you give up halfway, you said that you left me alone, I don't even have the money to ride home, what should I do, Didn't you say that you were going to teach me all your skills, why did you turn into green smoke and drive the crane west like this...
The more I talked, the more sad I became, and the tears flowed. At this time, suddenly the master scolded in a relatively weak voice from the desk pile, little bastard, who are you cursing to drive Hexi, wait for Lao Tzu to take a breath and then come out to clean you up!
I suppressed my crying, and then asked a little stunned, Master, are you not dead? Master scolded, die, kill your uncle, I was smashed on my vest, and I didn't slow down in one breath! I wiped my tears and said, then you are not dead and do not move, I told you to kick your legs for so long a day! Master said, little rabbit cub don't talk nonsense, hurry up and move the table for me!
So I began to move the tables that were pressed on the Master one by one, and the Master struggled backwards to get out of the way when he was able to move. I noticed that he seemed to have a bruise on his forehead, and there was some blood.
Master threw away the two sticks of incense that had been broken in his hand and stepped on them, wiped the wound on his forehead with his sleeve, and then stood aside and gasped. I knew that I had just said something stupid, so I quickly went up to help him pat the dust off his clothes, and asked Master what had just happened, trying to distract Master by asking questions.
Master told me that the smoke had led him to this classroom, but in the middle of the classroom, the smoke began to swirl in all directions. Master knew that the problem with this ghost here was in this classroom.
Just when he wanted to look for it, the tables around him suddenly hit him, because he didn't have time to dodge, his vest and head were hit hard by the table, while he couldn't breathe, and his head was dizzy, and one fell to the ground without standing firmly, and then I saw the situation later, the table was piled up into a small mountain and pressed the master to the ground.
Of course I'm glad that Master didn't die, but listening to the picture he painted, I thought it was a little funny. So I teased the master and said, I said how you were crushed as soon as you walked in, I thought I saw the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain. Master kicked me, and I wittily dodged it.
Master said that this guy here is just trying to stop me from finding the root cause. There must be something hidden in this classroom.
I took a private look, and it was a very ordinary classroom, with three walls on all sides, all of which were newly built, and only the outer wall and the ceiling were the original parts of the church. The floors were also leveled, and the desks were brought in after the classrooms had been repaired, so they had to be hidden in the ceiling or the outer wall.
The master said that he looked up for a while and said, "There are wooden beams on the top of the sky, and it is also a good place to hide things." This wall is made of old bricks, and if you make a dark grid, it will be difficult to find, and it will take a lot of time to find, so I'm afraid that when we start looking for it now, that guy will suddenly attack us again, and now that you are also in, you will definitely not be able to stay out of it.
I asked Master, what should I do now? If we run away, this matter will not be solved, and if we look for something, the ghost will definitely not let us go so easily. Master said, then clean it up first.
Master said this sentence lightly, but his eyes were full of contempt and calmness, before coming here, Master said that if the ghost's ability is great enough to move objects, it means that the ghost's power is not weak.
And the power of ghosts mainly comes from two aspects, the first is the size of the obsession before death, and the other is the nourishment of feng shui after death. But most of the people who are not at the end of their lives are unwilling when they die, and this kind of unwillingness can easily make the mind drill into the horns of the bull, so as to accumulate deeper and deeper, and this situation is also the most common source of ghost power.
Obviously, the ghosts in the classroom where Master and I are at the moment have great power, and it is probably because of this that when Master was doing the Water Fa in the first place, it didn't take Master in the slightest.
The master was attacked by the table it moved, which was different from the nun in the grove, the fog created by the nun, and even the strong sense of oppression, in the final analysis, was just to scare people, and it would not really hurt people, and this ghost had already injured the master in the first round of the fight with the master. Judging from Master's attitude, although this ghost is very powerful, Master still has a way to clean it up.
After speaking, the master took out a stack of charms from his arms, which the master had accumulated by writing on weekdays, and he said that we should have some on our bodies at any time to do this, because when the situation is really urgent, it will be too late to write again, and I don't understand the content of the charm for the time being, but I can guess that it is used to suppress ghosts.
Master began to put a talisman on every wall of the classroom, and then he told me to stand outside the classroom, not to be within the scope of the charm suppression, he himself stood in the middle of the classroom, his right hand pinched two fingers on the top, and his left hand also held a mudra, and then put his left hand under the right hand, Master began to rotate his body counterclockwise, while reaching out and pointing at the talisman on the wall with his fingers, and kept writing quickly, and after writing each talisman, he immediately turned around and continued to write in a different direction, while writing, Saying the mantra aloud in his mouth:
"The sky is full of thunder, and the thunderbolt shakes the void. There are 300,000 elite soldiers, and the evil spirit is all over the world. The sand flew away from the stones, and the lightning broke the crowd. The iron mask sweeps away the demons, and the wolf teeth plague. The thunder and drums shook in the dark sky, and there was no trace of thousands of miles. The order was spread to the sky, and the flames were scattered in the hollow. Up to the Kuigang Realm, down to the Nine Springs Palace. All the thunder and fire in the sky will always be a clean wind. Haste as a law! ”
The sound of the Master's mantra getting louder and louder from the beginning to the end of the mantra, even in a tone that bordered on roaring, when it came to a rush like a law.
The desks, which were already messy, began to vibrate slightly, making a series of clicking sounds. Judging from Master's posture, it seemed that he was guarding against ghosts, but he couldn't see them directly, so the mudra on his left hand was like his own fist, ready to slash out at any time.
The shaking of the desks was getting worse and worse, and the electric lights hanging on the wooden beams on the roof of the classrooms were now turning on and off, and making sizzling sounds.
I asked in my nose about a pungent smell, similar to the smell in the woods earlier, but with an extra foul smell, like the smell of clothes after soaking them in water for a long time. Suddenly, the electric light on the top suddenly shattered, and at this moment, the master raised his hand and struck hard in the direction of the electric light, and the ghost was hit, and the faint electric light began to flash above the master's head, crackling and scattering in all directions, and let out a terrible, low scream.
I stood aside and watched in horror, the ghost that was hit had no fixed shape, and could only judge its location based on the flickering electric light. The ghost scurried around, but could not escape the formation formed by the master with four charms, and the master also began to chase the ghost and continue to slash with his handprint, until the ghost gave up resistance and stayed in place with a faint electric light.
Master knew that it had only now succumbed, so he took out the little wooden figure that was used to help the beggar, the one that was the first to bring me back to my uncle's teahouse. The master threw the little wooden man on the ground, and the electric light slowly approached by itself, and then the little wooden man's body flickered a few times, and everything returned to calm.
The master tore off the charm on the wall, put it next to the little wooden figure and burned it, and used the burned rune paper ash to write a symbol on the little wooden man's forehead, and then took the little wooden figure back into his arms. Master saw me standing stupidly at the door, so he said to me, "Stinky boy, why are you stunned, why don't you hurry up and help me move the table!" So I hurriedly ran in and helped Master put the table back in place, and swept aside the light bulb glass slag on the floor, and then I sat down on the table with Master to rest.
I asked Master, what happened just now, and how did you know the location of that ghost?
Master told me that you have also seen these four charms, and that is to use this classroom as a range, and there can only be one person or ghost left in this range, which is why I want you to stand outside. And the fact that I and the ghost were in that range meant that there was no choice but to fight for the winner.
As he spoke, Master showed me the movements of his left and right hands at that time, and everyone understands that the two-finger duel of the right hand is one of the most commonly used finger duels, which can be used as a sword, a pen, and a qi-lifting exercise. The mudra of the left hand knot looks a bit like comparing the middle finger, but the direction of the finger curl and the posture of the fist are different, this is called "awakening seal", and the branch sect has a slightly different name for it, which is one of the key mudras for controlling the five thunder awakening spells.
Master said, "The mantra I recited just now is the Five Thunder Awakening Mantra, which belongs to the folk Taoism, which is fast and easy to use, especially when there is temporary danger, it can be cast relatively quickly. This spell evolved from the Daomen Lei Gong Mantra, and its effect is actually not much different, all of which use the Heavenly Power of Lei Gong to suppress and hit the souls of the dead.
This mudra can't defeat the enemy in one move, except for the very weak kind of ghost, but with each slash, it can weaken the ghost's power until it completely succumbs.
The master said, you know that little wooden man, let this ghost possess it, its obsession is relatively big, and it needs to be domesticated and educated before sending it away.
