Volume 1 Waste Wood on the Road Deflagration Demon Slashing Chapter 10 Where the Great Demon Is The Eight Gates
Without wasting time, the three of them got up and walked out, and when they walked outside the door, the three of them did not separate, led by the mayor of the town, knocking on the door from house to house as they walked.
When the remaining villagers heard that Wang Daoren had returned, they opened the door one after another.
The mayor obeyed the old man's arrangement and placed them in his own house and the two houses next to him.
The old man set up some formations outside the three houses to block the evil spirit, and then the three of them began to find the root of the problem.
The town was not very large, and it didn't take long to walk around, and as he walked, the old man found that the closer to the mayor's house, the fewer people died, that is, to the west of the town.
On the east side of the town, many villagers died, including the old man who died at the beginning and Chen Wanfu was also in the east of the town, so they returned to the vicinity of the old man and Chen Wanfu's house.
In the end, I returned to the east of the town on the road leading to the mountains and forests, could it be that there was a problem with this road?
The old man walked back and forth on this road, and did not feel anything unusual, from the perspective of feng shui alone, this road is a direct access to the overall feng shui situation of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and it should be blessed for future generations, and the problem should not be on this road.
But people are dying around this road, and the problem should be on this road, the old man is puzzled, the big demon is at the foot of the mountain?
Seeing that the road leading to the mountains and forests was still so dark and foggy, the old man took out a half-burned incense stick from his pocket, and lit it close to the torch.
When the royal people saw this incense, it was like seeing a treasure.
"Dao Chief, this incense?"
The old man lit the incense and said, "This incense is soul-attracting incense, I have to summon all the lonely souls and wild ghosts within a radius of ten miles to see if there are any demons and devils who can have this ability to take people's lives in their sleep." ”
As soon as the incense was lit, wisps of gray smoke wafted out, mixed with the white mist and not so conspicuous, the old man inserted the incense into the middle of the road, and then let the mayor and the king retreat to the side with him.
The king and the mayor couldn't see those demons and sneaks, but they could also feel the cool breeze swishing around them, and the surroundings began to slowly become cold.
Soul-attracting incense is like food, and the souls and ghosts are driven by instinct to wander over, and there is no way to resist it.
In the eyes of the old man, the souls of people dressed in clothes of different ages floated over, greedily inhaling the smoke wafting out of the soul-attracting incense, some old and young, some men and women, but most of them were just some wandering ghosts.
After waiting for a while, dense souls fluttered and crowded the streets, and the old man didn't say much, pinched the spell in his hand, took out the gourd, bit his finger and smeared the blood on the spell.
Those densely packed souls were all sucked into the gourd like magnets, and in an instant, the yin qi drifted away, and it was not so cold, but the white mist still did not retreat.
The old man covered the lid of the gourd, hung it back on his waist, extinguished the soul-attracting incense in the middle of the road, and put it in his arms.
"Just now, the soul incense has attracted all the lonely souls and wild ghosts in this area, and I didn't see the evil that can cause this disaster in it, it seems that it is not the ghost of the wandering soul, that is the big demon I don't want to see the most.
The sealed big demon should be under Chenjiazhen, it's not that the seal has been loosened, but I don't feel the demonic qi leaking out, and I don't know where the big demon's seal is. ”
The mayor stumbled when he heard this, his legs trembled and he almost didn't stand firm, and stammered and asked: "Big big demon, there is still a big demon under Chenjia Town, so what should we do?"
"The big demon is still in the seal, otherwise there will be no living people here for a long time, we have to find a way to find the location of the seal, and then lay a new seal formation reinforcement, temporarily slowing down. ”
The old man frowned and went to the side of the house to find a thick wooden stick and drew runes on the ground beside him.
Wang Daoren could only see that it was a Taoist rune, and he didn't know what the rune was, and he didn't ask, for fear of disturbing the old man to draw the rune.
After a while, the rune was finished, and the appearance on the ground was still very different from that on the rune paper, the most obvious being that it was much larger, the size of a door panel.
Then the old man pulled out the peachwood sword from behind his back, bit his finger and smeared the blood on the peachwood sword, and then inserted the peachwood sword into the lower part of the rune on the ground.
As soon as the peachwood sword was inserted into the ground, the runes on the ground exploded with a "bang", and the dust suddenly flew up.
The mayor of the town was startled and left Wang Daoren on him, and Wang Daoren hurriedly helped him.
The dust dispersed, the old man stepped forward to look at the runes on the ground, and a small pit was blown out in the position of the rune head, and the rune head was facing the east, which meant that there was a problem on the east side of the town, and the east side of the town was not where they were standing now, but the old man was puzzled, there was no problem here, could it be that the seal was really at the foot?
"You help me go and cut down a few trees, the size of a bowl, straight and straight, one person is long, a total of eight, let's go." ”
Then the three of them went to the homes of Chen Wanfu and Chen Wannian next to them, found three axes, and on the way up the mountain, cut down eight trees of similar length and thickness, cut off the branches, and carried them down.
Then he asked the king and the mayor to cut off the bark with an axe, and only the bare trunk remained, and the old man asked the mayor to find a dagger, and then sat cross-legged on a large stone and held a piece of wood and began to carve it.
After most of the day's work, all eight tree trunks were depicted, and each stake was almost identical, and it was full of runes carved on it, and it was strange to say that after the old man carved the runes with a knife, the runes were much deeper than the rest of the tree trunks, and they looked very obvious.
This made the royal Daoist puzzled, and this rune was unknown to the royal Daoist, so he asked, and the old man told him that this was the rune of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Great Array.
Although I don't know which house is sealed underneath, I just need to use the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array to seal the entire east of the town.
The old man held a branch in his hand, and asked the royal Taoist to take the feng shui compass and start searching for it, locating the direction of the eye of the eight golden lock arrays.
Measuring the direction of the king can be regarded as a good person, the eating guy is this, after some searching, the old man circled the position of the formation with a branch.
The three of them walked around the east of the town, looked at the location of the tree trunk to be buried, and made a mark, two of which were in the house, and the two houses were already extinct, so it didn't matter if they were in the house or not, they set the location, and began to dig a pit and bury wood.
Although the old man's skills were powerful, he was really a little unbearable to do physical work, so he asked the mayor to go to Chen San's house and called Chen San out, and by the way, let Chen Xin and her mother go to the mayor's house.
At this time, two hours had passed since Chen Sanhe's soul, and Chen San, who had eaten, regained some strength, rolled his eyes and followed the mayor out, his heart was reluctant, but he was afraid that the old man would knock him on the head.
Chen Xin and her mother went home to wash and tidy up, then went to the mayor's house and stayed with the villagers for the time being.
He scolded and scolded all the way, but he didn't say anything after looking at the fog and listening to the mayor say that there were no more living people left in the town.
Walking and walking, I saw the old man digging a pit there and trotted to dig it, not to mention that the young man has good physical strength, with Chen San digging a pit together, this pit is the same as a dog planing, digging fast.
One by one, the wooden stakes were completely inserted into the positions they had found before, and they were three inches into the ground, and after half a day's effort, the eight wooden stakes had been buried in the soil.
After the last wooden stake was put into the ground, the white mist began to disperse after half a pillar of incense, although the sun was about to set, but the red sun shone into Chenjia Town, and the whole Chenjia Town lit up.
The old man wiped his sweat and nodded, the seal of the big demon is in the east of the town, and now after the seal has been strengthened by the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the dissipation of the fog is the best proof.
The villagers in the mayor's house saw the sun, and they all came out to walk around to breathe, and they didn't come out to walk around for so many days, and people were going crazy.
The mayor of the town, together with Chen San, Wang Daoren, and the old man, went to the mayor's house and informed the villagers that the problem had been solved for the time being, but the problem of the dead man was still unknown.
The mayor looked at the old man and asked worriedly, "Dao Chief, the fog has dispersed, so we won't die at night, right?"
The old man soothed his brow and smiled.
"The fog has cleared, the problem should have been solved, and I will count one more hexagram to know the good and the bad. ”
Then he took out a long iron needle from the burden behind his back, the length of the chopsticks, and pointed vertically, and took out eight copper coins from his pocket and put them on the long iron needle, and took out a yellow rune paper and put it on.
Closing his eyes and chanting a mantra, the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and the eight copper coins immediately popped out the iron needle, flipped in the air and fell down again, piercing back on the iron needle.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Chen San also looked at the old man with an iron needle wearing copper coins in his hand with an incredulous expression.
The old man took down the whole string of copper coins and put them in the palm of his hand to see that it was the last ten hexagrams in the thirty-six hexagrams of Tiangang, and the ten hexagrams that measured the good fortune and evil of one side.
The old man carefully looked at the two backs of the six characters, which can be regarded as a better hexagram for the current Chenjiazhen - the hexagram of the Leopard Yin Nanshan.
The hexagram shows that Chenjiazhen still has hidden dangers in the future, but not now, that is, Chenjiazhen is fine for the time being.
Hearing the old man say to everyone that Chenjiazhen was safe, many villagers cried with joy, one was to mourn the departure of their relatives, and the other was that the emotions that had been suppressed for a few days really needed to be vented, Chen San also looked at Chen Xin and grinned.
The mayor of the town asked some women to prepare everyone's dinner, and there was an ancestral hall in the town, which enshrined the ancestors and ancestors of Chenjia Town, and this ancestral hall was also a place where people from all families came to discuss when there was a big event in the village.
Now there are only a small number of people left in the town, and the dinner is held in the ancestral hall, and the big guys can be regarded as having a peaceful dinner.
After eating, the mayor of the town made another arrangement, many people in the town have the bodies of their relatives at home, and before the corpses are disposed of, these people take the bunks and sleep in the ancestral hall, which can be regarded as a response.
Chen San and Chen Xinniang, as well as Wang Daoren and the old man, slept in the ancestral hall with everyone.
On the second day, the sun rose, and the whole town returned to the heat of summer, although there were no chickens and dogs, but the birds and birds appeared again, and the villagers slept peacefully this night, and there were no more dead people.
Chen San woke up from sleep, and it was no different from before, and the whole person was refreshed.
Chen Xin and Sister-in-law haven't slept so peacefully for a long time, and everyone's eyes are full of hope.
After Chen San got up, he looked around the ancestral hall and didn't find the old man, so he ran out, and finally found the old man on the road to the back mountain, the old man frowned with his hands behind his back, worried.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and saw that it was Chen San, and Chen San also grinned when he saw him.
"Old man, are you up so early?"
"Yes, you can't sleep when you're old, but you're in good spirits, and the young man is in good health. ”
"What's so nice about this road, isn't it all the same, it's like this when I was a child, and nothing has changed. ”
The old man turned his head to look at the end of the road and replied: "This road is unusual, last night I suddenly thought that this mountain forest has a feng shui pattern of coiling dragons and crouching tigers.
The end of the road is connected to the mountains and forests, and the direction is calculated, and it just so happens that this road is the location of the Crouching Tiger and the Tiger's Tail, and the position of the Tiger's Tail extends to your town because of this road.
Tiger tail has the potential to sweep thousands of troops, even if thousands of troops and horses come to this town, when the luck is bad, it will also be rushed by the position of the tiger tail, and the result must be a disaster, not to mention that the town is full of ordinary people, this accident, I am afraid it will be a disaster. ”
Chen Sanyi was dumbfounded, he grew up on this road, and occasionally went up the mountain to hunt and play with the villagers, the old man said that there was no good thing about this road, thinking about what happened in the town, and he was also anxious.
"What then? Why don't you talk to the mayor and close this road?"
The old man shook his head, "Let's go to the mayor first, ordinary road closures are useless, the position of the tiger tail has been formed for many years, and the position of the tiger tail can only be moved to other places by using the technique of yin and yang, but if you do this, there will be no way up the mountain in this town." ”
Chen San was stunned again, most of the residents of Chenjia Town made a living by hunting, although many people died this time, there were still many people who went to other villages and towns to hide, and they might come back soon.
If the way up the mountain is gone, it will not be a good thing for Chen Jiazhen, thinking about it, the old man has walked far away in a blink of an eye, and immediately followed.
When he arrived at the mayor's house, the old man discussed with the mayor and Wang Daoren, and those who had not yet been buried in Chenjia Town were all lying at home for the time being, and several of them had already disappeared.
Finally, at the suggestion of the old man, everything was simple, and the dead were brought together, and a great ritual was done, a lot of firewood was piled up, and a fire was burned.
Although many people disagree, there are too many corpses, and it is definitely too late to do things one by one.
When this was done, the old man told the mayor about the road to the east, and when the mayor heard that it was such a bad road, his face turned pale for a while.
Hurriedly surrendered his hands and asked the old man to find a way to solve the matter, the old man naturally readily agreed, and originally went down the mountain to solve these things, and told the mayor to move the road to it while those people had not returned.
The mayor of the town was confused, he didn't dare to ask more, and followed the old man to the east road, Wang Daoren because he hadn't gone home for a long time, and he couldn't help much, and he was afraid that the family would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly said goodbye to them and rushed back to Xishan Village.
The old man, Chen San, the mayor of the town and some villagers with good deeds came to this road in the east of the town, and several people looked at the dark end, although it was a dog day, they couldn't help but tremble a little.
"In the future, this road will be gone, although this is the only way up the mountain, if the villagers in the town want to go up the mountain to hunt, then work harder, take some wild roads, and after a long time, they can also go out of another way." ”
Chen San said casually, "It's okay, they have good physical strength, it's not bad for this road, old man, let's do it quickly, if the tiger tail rushes us again, we can't stand it a second time." ”
The old mayor nodded again and again, and for the first time felt that what Chen San said was right.
The old man smiled, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to step back, and the group retreated to the outside of the old man's house and looked at it curiously.
The old man took out the iron needle from his pocket and drew a line with the iron needle at a distance of one zhang to the east of the old man's house, and then circled it all the way to the foot of the mountain.
He took out a piece of talisman paper and a bowl of beans from his pocket, and removed the cloth covering the beans from the bowl, which was just a small bowl of ordinary beans.
The old man raised his fingers and chanted the mantra, the yellow talisman burned, and the burning yellow talisman was circled around the bowl full of small beans with his two fingers, and the talisman was extinguished.
