Chapter 10 Up the Mountain to Catch Ghosts
This is no longer a matter of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, this involves human lives.
It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid, as there has been a saying since ancient times: It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger but its bones.
If people do evil, they are more terrifying than evil spirits!
Master interrupted me, "Ziwu!" His voice was like an enlightenment, which made me calm down instantly, "Ziwu, you have to know that whether we encounter evil ghosts or evil spirits, they were all alive during their lifetime.
You may have encountered injustice! However, people are humane and ghosts have their own ways. Don't let your heart be shaken or biased in any way! Even though their experiences during their lifetime may make you feel pity, don't forget that once these
When a person dies and turns into a vicious ghost, that is a scourge, an evil spirit! The kindness he had during his lifetime has long since disappeared! All that is left is hostility and the instinct to cause trouble!"
I was stunned. Master had never said these words to me before.
What I encountered in Stone Village may happen again in the future. How could I forget the original intention of our profession?
I was ashamed and anxious, lowered my head, and said with some frustration: "Master, I know I was wrong!"
"You are not wrong! The fact that you can say those words means that your nature has not been lost. But you have to remember that if you encounter such a thing in the future, you must keep your heart and calm your mind, no matter you are a human or a human being.
Even ghosts can't defeat you!"
"Yes! I remember it!" I nodded repeatedly and silently recited what Master said to me.
"Okay! You can sleep for a while! There are still things to do in the evening!" Master saw that I really understood, so he didn't say any more. He lay down and closed his eyes.
I lay on the bed and closed my eyes, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. The pictures I saw were always flooding in my mind.
Things that happened at night and scenes seen during the day intersect.
The faces of the villagers, stone pillars, and village chiefs were always changing back and forth between smiles and ferocious looks.
Unconsciously, I broke out in sweat again. After struggling to get up, the sky outside turned dark.
Unexpectedly, I slept all afternoon as soon as I closed my eyes.
I turned to look at my master. The bed was empty, so I quickly got off the floor and put on my shoes and walked out.
The village chief and my master were standing in the yard, talking to the vegetable garden.
Before I went over, I turned on the water pipe and washed my face, and saw that the village elder's wife had already cooked dinner.
The master and the village chief came back from the yard and sat down at the table to eat. The master just glanced at me.
I hurried over and helped the master and the village chief serve the rice. After sitting down, I waited for the master to get the chopsticks.
The village chief took out another jar of local wine and wanted to drink it, but my master stopped him and said, "If I have something to do tonight, I won't drink any wine!"
"Okay! Then eat more vegetables!" The village chief did not force himself and put the wine back.
This meal was a bit bland and I couldn't taste the delicious taste at the beginning.
Moreover, the master and the village chief did not chat while eating as before. The three of us finished our dinner in silence.
"Master, when do you think it will start?" After eating, the village chief couldn't help but ask.
Master looked at the sky and said, "It's still early! Have you already informed me?"
"Everyone has been notified! They all asked if they needed help!"
"No! Just tell them not to come out. My apprentice and I will... go up the mountain to catch ghosts at night!"
I noticed the pause in my master's words and looked at the village chief. His face seemed a little unnatural, or a little surprised.
But it was quickly covered up by his smile.
I cursed in my heart: I can tell you are guilty just by looking at your character!
Finally, around ten o'clock in the evening, it became completely dark outside, and occasionally there were a few lights flickering in the village.
My master stood up and said, "Ziwu, bring your things and follow me!"
The village chief also stood up quickly, looking very nervous, "Master, is this about to start?"
"Yeah!" Master responded, "Just close the door and go to bed!"
"Oh, okay, master, you must be careful!" the village chief said with concern.
I carried the bag I brought with me from the room. It was full of things I needed when I needed to do something.
When Master saw me coming out, he said "Let's go!" and walked outside.
We didn't take flashlights. In the dark, we could see things we couldn't see during the day without affecting our vision at all.
After leaving the door, I looked back and saw the village chief was still looking at us at the door.
"Master..."
"Stop talking and follow me!"
I quickly shut my mouth and became nervous.
It’s not like I haven’t gone out with Master before, but every time I solved it very neatly and neatly. I have never encountered such a complicated situation before.
I have seen that female ghost, and she has the strongest aura of violence I have ever seen.
Although I know that I will definitely be able to subdue the female ghost if I try my best, but in the end I am afraid that both sides will suffer losses. After all, my Taoism is still too shallow.
I followed Master and passed by Shi Dan's house. I took a look inside and saw that the door was closed and locked, and the room was dark.
The door to Shizhu's courtyard was also closed, but the lights were on in the room. In the dim light, the figures passing by from time to time looked inexplicably strange.
His wife didn't move, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.
Soon, I followed my master along the path up the mountain, and gradually walked to the bamboo forest where Shi Dan and I had visited during the day.
I couldn't help but look inside. The dark evil spirit blended with the night, making the bamboo forest look eerie.
I seemed to hear movement behind me, a "thumping thumping" sound, as if some small animal was moving slowly.
Or someone might be following behind cautiously.
I turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind me.
It's just that late at night, on a barren mountain, this feeling is so creepy.
My scalp was fried. I quickened my pace to follow my master, but I kept looking back.
The master whispered: "There are no ghosts in my heart and I have no scruples!"
I quickly replied: "I know!"
Soon, we walked through the bamboo forest and reached the barren mountain, stopping at a place I had seen before.
"That's it!" I pointed to the place not far ahead and said to Master.
My master nodded and stretched out his hand to me. I quickly took out three sticks of incense from my bag, lit them and handed them over.
The master took the incense and walked back and forth twice in that place. With a wave of his hand, the three sticks of incense were instantly inserted into the ground. The cigarette pointed straight upward. When it reached a height of more than one meter, it was as if it had encountered a whirlwind and shattered.
spread.
Master made a finger gesture, took the red rope I handed over, and quickly drew a circle around it, enclosing that place in the middle.
I pulled another lap outside.
Suddenly, there was silence all around, and all the sounds disappeared. Then a strong wind blew, and I couldn't even open my eyes.
The master shouted loudly: "Why don't you come out yet?"
I covered my mouth and nose with my arms, squinted my eyes, and saw a black shadow appear on the ground. The surrounding temperature also dropped instantly, and white mist rose.
The female ghost appears!
I was shocked. The image of the female ghost had changed a lot from what I had seen before.
His eyes were still completely white, but his nails had become longer, dark, and very sharp, and even a trace of red line appeared on his forehead.
This has become more powerful, with higher magic power and greater harm!
If my master and I hadn't come here, I'm afraid that in a few days, all the people in this village would have been killed by evil spirits!
I was just about to continue to follow my master in exorcising evil spirits, when suddenly there was a loud noise behind me, and at the same time, fire appeared.
