Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Evil Way
I saw a trace of solemnity on the face of the four-eyed Taoist, and pointed to the locust tree and said: "Changsheng, you dig out the corpse of the ghost baby under the locust tree and take a look, I'm afraid, this time the matter is not so simple." ”
Seeing this, Li Changsheng was also a little more vigilant, nodded, carefully walked to the side of the locust tree, pasted a talisman for himself, and then carefully dug it under the locust tree.
After digging for about a few minutes, I saw a swaddling baby in the dirt.
The body in the swaddling clothes had long since decomposed, and the white bones of a baby, entangled by the roots of the locust tree, were rooted in the cracks of the skull.
On top of the corpse, there was also a scarecrow.
On the scarecrow, the eight characters of the birthday were written on red paper and nailed with a few steel nails, just by seeing it, Li Changsheng could feel the strong yin aura on the scarecrow, which made people very uncomfortable.
"Sure enough, it's the method of refining babies!"
Seeing this scene, the four-eyed Taoist said affirmatively.
"Uncle Shi, what is the method of refining babies?"
Seeing the solemn expression of the four-eyed Taoist, Li Changsheng hurriedly asked.
"Changsheng, you have been cultivating with your senior brother for a few years, you should know that in this world, there are righteous people, and there are also evil sects and crooked ways who don't learn and don't know how to do it. ”
"This method of refining babies is an extremely evil spell, ruthless and vicious, despised by the righteous path, I can't sit idly by and wait for the Maoshan disciples to meet it, we must get rid of it. “
"I just heard this baby girl say that when her mother listened to the words of an evil cultivator and used the infant spirit of her closest blood to pull a male fetus, I felt that it was not the right way, and now I look at it, I am afraid that giving birth to a male fetus is fake, and refining ghost babies is true. The four-eyed Taoist snorted coldly.
"On the rivers and lakes, generally speaking, there are three kinds of people that cannot be provoked, the elderly, women, and children. ”
This is because these three are all weak people in the traditional sense, and if they can walk the rivers and lakes, they must have something extraordinary, and this is the same in our cultivation world. “
"Generally speaking, people die and turn into ghosts, but not all ghosts will stay in the world, most of the ghosts, after death, will go to the underworld and be reincarnated, and a small number of those left behind are what we call ghosts. “
"As the so-called people become old and refined, once they get older, because they are calmer than young people, they have more life experience, and after they become ghosts, they have no physical restrictions, and their cultivation is faster than that of ordinary young ghosts. “
And women, because they are born with richer emotions than men, cause them to be more sensitive, so after death, they are more likely to be affected by obsession and resentment in their hearts, and thus become powerful ghosts. “
"As for children, they are born with a strong sense of spirit, and they are born with a little innate spiritual light, and once they turn into ghosts, they have strong spiritual power, so among the ghosts and monsters that remain in the world, these three are also the most numerous. “
"The method of refining the baby, and the little ghost on the Nanyang side, the art of Gu Man Tong has the same magic, through the training of a little innate aura of the child, the practice of a powerful ghost baby, whether it is divination and strong luck, casting spells against the enemy, has great power. “
"You see, this baby girl was trapped under the locust tree, with the resentment of being buried alive before her death, and after her death she was tormented day by day, and the resentment in her heart continued to grow, and the evil way used this scarecrow to cast secret spells to associate the ghost baby with his evil magic, and as long as he cast the spell, the ghost baby would be under his control. “
"If I am not mistaken, this evil way should have deceived the mother of the baby girl, deliberately causing the baby girl to die at the hands of her mother and become a fierce ghost. ”
"When the baby girl reaches a certain level, he will use the power of the baby girl to kill the woman, so as to make the ghost see blood and become a more terrifying ghost, and then use the method of refining the baby to take it for his own use, and the means are vicious, which is simply outrageous. The four-eyed Taoist said with a calm face.
"Uncle Shi, what should we do then?" Li Changsheng said when he heard this.
"It's okay, this method of refining babies has not been completed yet, it is not so easy to refine the ghost infant sacrifice successfully, in order not to be alarmed, we can't let the evil way find out that something is wrong for the time being. “
"Changsheng, haven't you learned a stand-in talisman? You first use the stand-in talisman to bury it under this ghost locust, and use the yin qi of the ghost locust to hide the fact that the baby girl was taken away by us, so as not to be discovered by the evil way, as for this scarecrow, we will take it away first, and when we have free our hands, we will break the spell above and take down the evil way. The four-eyed Taoist said.
"Good. Li Changsheng nodded.
As he spoke, Li Changsheng sat down cross-legged, took out a handful of straw from the package he carried, folded it into a scarecrow by dividing it by two, and then stretched out his hand and brushed it on the ghost baby's body, and a wisp of yin qi fell on the scarecrow.
Straw is what Shennong tasted grains and nurtured the common people. It is the essence of heaven and earth, the origin of the human body, therefore, all Taoist priests will carry a few scarecrows, or some straw, in case of emergency.
After folding the scarecrow, Li Changsheng took out a red pen, turned the pen into a yellow talisman, pasted it on the scarecrow, and read: "The yellow talisman is your face, the straw is your clothes, the light is not opened is the paper, the light is turned into a supernatural power, the mountain is punished, the sea is keke, the divine soldiers are urgent, and the urgency is like a law!"
There was a thud and a burst of air on the scarecrow, followed by a faint cry of a baby, faintly similar to the ghost baby's voice.
Looking at the scarecrow again, he had no mouth and no purpose, but now it looks like he has some similarities with the ghost baby.
After doing all this, Li Changsheng buried the scarecrow under the locust tree, and then looked at the four-eyed Taoist, only to see the four-eyed Taoist take out a bowl from his baggage.
People in later generations, because of the influence of TV dramas, mostly thought that the bowl was a Buddhist magic weapon, but in fact, the bowl was one of the magic weapons of the Taoist gate from the beginning, also known as the nectar bowl, which is one of the indispensable magic tools used to dispel evil and purify evil, cast spells and chant spells.
I saw the four-eyed Taoist holding a nectar bowl, and after reciting the incantation silently, he aimed at the ghost baby and the scarecrow man with her birth date nailed to it and shouted, "Collect!"
Then there was a whoosh, and the ghost baby and the scarecrow fell into the bowl of nectar.
The four-eyed Taoist took out a yellow talisman and pasted it on the nectar bowl, and then carefully put the nectar bowl back into the burden and looked at Li Changsheng.
"Okay, we still have a lot of delay, hurry up and go to the place where the Zhang family left the corpse, drive the corpse back to the ancestral land for burial as soon as possible, and after the burial, we can also solve the matter of this ghost baby." ”
Li Changsheng nodded, and the two of them immediately rushed towards the place where the Zhang family's corpses were left at a faster speed than before they came, and after a full seventeen days, the two finally returned.
Subsequently, the two followed the instructions of the baby girl and came to a town not far away, called Shuiyun Town.
