Chapter Twenty-Six: Yellow Springs
Back in the security hall, Zhang Yutang ordered Li Yong to gently put Dr. Xu on the bed and sighed.
"Could it be that Dr. Xu is such a good person, and he died like this? Everything is providence, everything is fate, and no one can escape?"
"Daddy—"
Xu Jiaorong, who woke up, walked in a concealed manner, almost unable to stand on her feet, threw herself in front of the bed, buried her head and cried.
The voice was hoarse, tears pouring down, staining the sleeves and soaking the sheets.
"Yutang, you are a prodigy, you are a Wenqu star in the sky, you must have a way, right?"
Looking at Zhang Yutang on the side, Xu Jiaorong, who was shaped like a pear blossom with rain, her eyes brightened suddenly, and she knelt down and walked to Zhang Yutang's side, kowtowing desperately, her forehead bulging, and stained with blood:
"Please, please, save my daddy, save my daddy, he's a good man, he shouldn't die like this, as long as you can save him, you can let me do anything, I can do anything. ”
The expression is in a trance, and the pain is crazy!
Xu Xian next to him looked at him blankly, stunned, stupid, and at a loss.
At this time, he also hurriedly knelt down with his sister, staring at Zhang Yutang:
"Please!"
Ah Bao and Li Yong stood aside, their eyes were red, and their voices were a little choked:
"Childe, if you have a way, save Dr. Xu, Dr. Xu treats the sick and saves people, repairs bridges and paves roads, and has done so many good things, he shouldn't die like this. ”
"Well, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Yutang hurriedly flashed to the side, walked quickly to Xu Jiaorong and Xu Xian's side, and pulled it up one by one:
"I didn't say I wouldn't save it, I did my best, whether I could save it or not, I could only resign myself to fate. ”
Turned around and walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to touch Dr. Xu's heart, there was still some heat, Zhang Yutang's face was happy, and he ordered:
"Li Yong, you hurry up and find a larger seven-star lamp, light it, put it at the head of Dr. Xu's bed, no one can approach, if the seven-star lamp can be lit through tonight, Dr. Xu can still be saved, if the light goes out, people will die." ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
Li Yong listened, and hurriedly ran with Xu Xian, went outside, and came over with a seven-star lamp.
This seven-star lamp is quite large, shaped like a gourd, with round ends and a slender middle, and the whole body is stone blue, and it is full of lamp oil, which can burn for three days and three nights.
Crash!
The flames of light burst out more than a palm's height, and bright lights shone brightly, filling the room.
"Jiaorong, you go and seal all the cracks in the room as much as possible, don't let the wind blow in, so as not to blow out the seven-star lantern; ”
"Li Yong, you go and find a bright big red-crowned rooster, and then come over with a sea bowl, a handful of corn, a stack of gold paper, and a few bunches of incense and candles. ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
Knowing that Gongzi was going to do it again, Li Yong suppressed his excitement and surprise, walked quickly, and went out to prepare.
And Zhang Yutang himself swung a table in the room and placed it directly in front of Dr. Xu, about three meters away.
"Jiaorong, take a basin of water!"
"Hmm!"
Xu Jiaorong, who sealed the room, lowered her head and walked quickly, and took out a basin of water from the kitchen.
Zhang Yutang washed his hands and face, wiped them clean, and asked Xu Jiaorong to clean them up, and then sat quietly cross-legged on the ground alone, and the star-chasing sword on his waist was untied and placed across his knees.
Slowly adjust your breathing, calm your mind, and your demeanor is as usual, sensing the gods and Buddhas of the heavens.
"Childe, you're all set. ”
After a while, Li Yong came over with a big red rooster, as well as gold paper, incense candles, and corn, and put it on the table.
"Okay, you take care of your surroundings, and don't let people break in. ”
"Don't worry, if anyone wants to break in, they won't have to walk through my corpse. Li Yong patted his chest and guarded the gate with Xu Xian and Ah Bao.
Xu Jiaorong stood there quietly, biting her lip tightly, but she didn't move.
"Then it's better for you to stay here, don't be afraid for a while, and don't make a sound. Glancing at the somewhat stubborn woman, Zhang Yutang stood up from the ground.
Two candles were lit on both sides of the table, and the fire was scorching, and one of the bowls was full of rice, golden grains of rice, and they were full.
He stood there and silently recited a mantra.
Zhang Yutang turned three bunches of high incense around the candle three times, lit them with gold paper, and inserted them in the rice pile.
The long sword in his hand danced, the cold light swayed, and the wind and clouds changed color.
"The chicken blood opens the way, the chicken soul roars, go to the underworld quickly, and recover the soul of Dr. Xu!
He grabbed the big red rooster on the ground, swung his sword, cut the rope, cut off the head of the chicken, and the hot chicken blood splashed out and dyed red.
Carrying the severed rooster, put the blood in the bowl, fill half the bowl with blood, and put the rooster on the table.
Picked up the bowl, looked at the table, and spilled it.
"Go, out of body, rooster leads!"
Zhang Yutang stepped on the gang fight, brandished the sword, and the sky above the Xu family suddenly thundered and rolled, lightning swept vertically and horizontally, and a strong wind rose from the ground, and there were ghosts in the wind, hideous and terrifying.
And in front of the Dharma table, the yin qi was suddenly rolling, and the gods were crying and ghosting constantly, all revolving around Zhang Yutang.
After dancing for a while, and reciting a mantra, Zhang Yutang held a magic trick in his hand, and slowly sat on the ground, still moving.
And in the place where mortals can't see, Zhang Yutang is out of his body, bathed in blood, carrying a sword on his waist, a yin and yang talisman to protect himself, riding a heroic and handsome red rooster, fast as lightning, flying in the direction of the underworld.
The big red rooster is majestic, high-spirited, there is a big calf, full of blood, like a flame soaring into the air, wings spread, and like a peacock opening the screen, majestic, wind and thunder.
Zhang Yutang sat on the back of the chicken, along a secluded long road, all the way to run, the long road on both sides of the gloomy atmosphere, dark and dark can not see anything, and above the long road, there are a number of souls floating, followed by a ghost messenger.
These ghosts, with steel forks in their hands, hideous faces, shouted, and drove these spirits forward.
Huangquan Road!
Zhang Yutang realized that the road he was taking was the Huangquan Road leading to the Ghost Gate.
"You have to leave quickly, in case Doctor Xu passes the ghost gate, and if you want to save it, it will be too late. ”
On Huangquan Road, the sky is covered with fog and the sky is lonely.
...
Dr. Xu felt that at the moment when he sank into the water, the whole person seemed to be out of his body, suspended in the sky above the Qiantang River in a daze, looking at the crying children on the shore, his heart was like a knife.
I want to reach out and touch them to comfort their sad hearts.
Crash!
A thick iron chain suddenly stretched out from the water, and with lightning speed, he locked Dr. Xu, pulled it, crossed the water, and walked towards the ground.
With the iron lock added, Dr. Xu rose up to resist and shouted:
"Who are you, what crime have I committed, and where are you going to take me?"
The man in front looked back and laughed:
"Where else can you go, you are already dead, of course, you will go to the underworld and wait for the judgment. ”
"What? I'm dead?"
Dr. Xu was stunned, and the memories of his life came flooding back:
"It turned out that I drowned myself in order to save people. ”
Take a look at the endless road under your feet, dark and dark:
"Is this the Huangquan Road leading to the underworld?"
Thinking of the crying children he saw before he died, Dr. Xu couldn't help but say loudly:
"This ghost brother, are you a ghost, can you be accommodating, let me go home and see my children again, and then go to the underworld with you. ”
The ghost thing in front of him, pulling the iron cable, rushed forward, and said angrily:
"Look at what, people are dead, see what's the point, let's hurry to the underworld, I paid a business, you became my substitute ghost, I can be reincarnated and happy to go, that ghost place, it's really not a ghost place, I don't want to stay there for a minute or a second." ”
"For the dead?"
Dr. Xu was furious:
"You say that I am your substitute ghost, you are a water ghost in Qiantang, a water ghost who drowned, and you can't be reincarnated without a stand-in. ”
"Clever!" the creature roared, his excitement palpable.
"I'm about to be liberated, and in the future, as long as you find another stand-in, you can also be reincarnated. ”
Doctor Xu grabbed the iron rope and said angrily:
"I don't want to be a substitute for the dead--- I won't harm anyone----"
"It's up to you!" the ghost stared at a tall majestic pass with a glint in his eyes.
Xiongguan towers into the infinite high and distant places, all are piled up with the white bones of the forest, bloodstained, eerie and terrifying, exuding an ancient, terrifying atmosphere, just like stepping through the time and space of the years, a divine object from ancient times, standing horizontally, let the years change, eternal and immovable.
"Ghost Gate!"
It's already in sight!
"After this, even God can't save you!"
And at this time---
"Fence up, don't leave the demons inside!"
A team of Qiantang officials, holding swords and swords, with bright armor, surrounded the security hall:
"Cheer up, go to the demons, take you is asking!"
The person at the head has big ears, a rough face, and a simple knife on his waist is raised, majestic:
"The rest of you, follow me in!"
