Chapter One Hundred and Seven. Hit the prototype
I saw Qin Bukong stretching out his hand to touch the body of the bronze statue for a while, and then gently tapped the body of the bronze statue a few times with his knuckles, although the force was not large, but because of its hollow structure, coupled with the opening of the base, it still made the kind of dangdang sound accompanied by echoes, and the sound was relatively crisp, as if it was ringing a bell.
My leg was bleeding, but it was just an external injury, and I wasn't a painless person, so when Matsuko bandaged me, I tried to stand up and walk around, and found that I could bear it, so Matsuko and I also walked to Qin Bukong's side, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Bukong said to us, you two go to the opening of the base now, just like yesterday, shine a flashlight on the gossip mirror, and then reflect the light into the body of the bronze statue. I don't understand what this move is for, but Qin Bukong is probably the only person we can count on now, so Songzi and I went around to the position of the base, just now due to the collapse of the bronze statue, the desk and the wooden shelf under it have all been crushed, so at this moment we only need to squat down slightly, we can see everything in the body of the bronze statue at a glance, the stone box that was smashed with the lid is less than a foot away from the opening of the base, but none of us dare to reach out to take it, because we know, As long as you stretch out your hand, you will be caught in immediately.
Maybe I'm pressed for time, after all, the black veins in my hands are telling me that this is all urgent, and if it is slow, it may be too late. And I don't know if my injuries will be alleviated or recovered after solving this big ghost, if not, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Distraught, I took out the gossip mirror with my hands and feet, asked Songzi to help me hold it, and aimed the mirror at the position of the opening of the bronze statue's base, Qin Bukong's things drawn on my gossip mirror yesterday are still there at the moment, so I don't have to do it again, so I turned on the flashlight, adjusted the angle, and projected the light through the reflection of the gossip mirror onto the body of the bronze statue.
Qin Bukong asked me, have you seen the black fog from yesterday now? Did it dodge again? I said I saw it, a thin layer of black mist, as if piled up in the position of the Arhat's abdomen, there was no dodge, just piled up there. Qin Bukong said, you have a good look, anything that is different from the current picture, you have to look carefully and remember clearly!
After speaking, he stretched out the palm of his left hand and spit a soak of saliva in the palm of his hand, and then wrote words like runes on his left hand with his right hand, and then put his hands together and rubbed each other, it felt a little disgusting, and before I had time to gag, Qin Bukong raised his hands, and then slapped his hands on the body of the bronze statue as if slapping the table.
With the sound of the bell, I saw the black smoke formed by the ghost, as if it was suddenly illuminated by the light of lightning, and in an instant, I clearly saw a skinny, big head, big eye sockets, eyes are also prominent but all white, squatting in the bronze statue with both hands and knees, facing us, without any expression, and the hands and feet are very, very thin, I don't know how to describe this thinness, very much like a child who has not eaten for a long time, Being thin in a malnourished environment for a long time is a feeling of famine, and at the same time it is very much like the feeling of a child who has died, lost the moisture of the body's muscles, and then been air-dried into a dried corpse.
Although it was only the moment when the sound of Qin Bukong slapping the bronze statue came, this picture was clearly engraved in my eyes. It was only this time that I saw that the one who tortured me so badly just now turned out to be a child, a thin and sick child.
I quickly recalled the description of "魉" in my head, saying that it was a combination of sickness and death after death, and that it spread extremely quickly, and most of the people who encountered it could not escape a serious illness, and all of them were diseases. In ancient documents, there are many local infectious diseases, epidemics and other events that may cause large-scale deaths in a short period of time, which are often interpreted by metaphysicians as "spirits" at work. The three of us are all cultivators, and we have more ways to protect ourselves than ordinary people, and I am the only one among the three of us who have a direct fight with this ghost from beginning to end, and the pain I have suffered is also the most direct and serious.
Strange to say, when I recalled these descriptions, I couldn't help coughing, only to find that my chest ached, and my nose began to run out of my nose for some reason, and it was a dull nasal discharge, which is typical of an acute attack by some germ. When I thought of this, in order to avoid infecting others, I wrapped a handkerchief around my face, and then told Qin Bukong what I and Songzi saw just now.
Qin Bukong nodded and said, it seems that it is indeed true, this guy will be affected under the sound of the bronze weapon, otherwise he will not only show his original form at that moment. I also nodded, and at this moment I also realized that the sick and seemingly dry corpse-like child was actually the original form of the "spirit" here.
I also know that since ancient times, if copper is made into a magic weapon, it will have a relatively strong damage to ghosts, for example, when we do supernatural rituals to people, we always have to hit copper cymbals and cymbals, one is to make a sound for the souls of the transcendent to follow, and the other is to scare the surrounding lonely souls and wild ghosts, do not approach. Li Jing, the king of Tota in "Fengshen Bang", is a powerful character who thinks he is holding a copper whip, and Fahai in "The Legend of the White Snake", under his bronze bowl and Zen staff, has also annihilated countless demons and monsters.
But Qin Bukong spat and slapped the bronze body just now, but it only made the other party show his original form, and just like this, it didn't seem to have much effect. Qin Bukong said that it was not necessarily, one of his own moves just now was not too violent, but just to test whether this move was feasible. At the moment, if it has an effect, multiplying this power should be able to make it uncomfortable for a while. Songzi asked a little puzzled, uncomfortable? What happens if it's uncomfortable? Qin Bukong said, it's uncomfortable in one place, and then there's an opening in front, what will you do?
Songzi looked at the opening on the base, and seemed to understand that Qin Bukong wanted to use this way to force the ghost out of it. I thought about it for a moment, and felt that this thing was still feasible, because I myself had personally experienced how uncomfortable it was to feel the sound of bronze objects buzzing in all directions. I asked Qin Bukong, then do you have more violent tricks to fight later? Qin Bukong shook his head and said, it's not me who fights, it's you who fight.
After speaking, Qin Bukong pointed at me, and I realized that he didn't just want us to slap the bronze body, but asked me to use the unique talisman taught by my master to control the enemy. Now this "ghost" hides in the bronze statue and refuses to come out, which happens to give me plenty of time to prepare, if I can pass the power of the talisman with the damage of the bronze weapon itself to the ghosts, even if it can't be killed within one move, it will definitely be able to force it to escape, because if it doesn't escape, it only has a dead end, and that is simpler.
So I walked towards Qin Bukong, and as I walked, I took out the rune paper and my Luban ruler, that guy just now made me all over the body, so embarrassed, I will avenge this revenge for anything. I even secretly made up my mind that I would use all my strength to fight when I was playing the talisman, and destroy this guy as soon as possible, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart.
But Qin Bukong waved his hand and said that there is no hurry, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we must make one more layer of preparation. So he said as he began to undress himself. I said to Qin Bukong, what are you doing when you take off your clothes, can you still scare this ghost away with your sturdy old lamb chops? Qin Bu gave me a blank look and ignored me. He just took off his white cloth and threw it on the ground, and when he put his coat back on, he unfolded his white clothes, cut his middle finger with a dagger, squeezed out some middle finger blood, and began to draw on the clothes.
This is a very complex mantra, but the difference is noticeable at a glance compared to traditional Taoist mantras and Buddhist Sanskrit mantras. Most Taoist mantras are obtained by combining Chinese characters and transforming them, just like the content of the mantras. Buddhism comes more from the Sanskrit symbols and the Buddha's name, but Qin Bukong's mantra looks more like painting, although there are also Chinese characters, but most of them are in the form of small seal fonts, and the content is mostly birds, beasts, insects, ants and other words, and when the word starts or closes, it will always draw a few more strokes according to the original meaning of the word, much like the hieroglyphs of ancient times. For example, when Qin Bukong wrote the word "worm", he would draw a few wavy extensions on the last point of "worm", as if it was really an insect. In a short period of time, Qin Bukong painted the position of the entire clothing vest, and all the spells were surrounded by a big circle, and the place where the big circle was sealed was painted by Qin Bukong with seven small "×".
This method of drawing is too complicated, even if I survive today, I don't want to learn this trick in the future, otherwise I guess I will die of blood loss before I finish the painting. Qin Bukong put his bleeding middle finger in his mouth and sucked it, that action was extremely perverted, and then he said to me, let's make this dress into a net pocket shape now and put it on this base.
I asked what it was for? Qin Bukong said, when you play the talisman later, if this guy escapes, let it be wrapped in his clothes and never get out.
