A large number of water drops flowed down from the kid's fingertips, and the water droplets formed a straight line, and the translucent beads made a crackling sound on the ground.
During the whole process, Master Jiu remained expressionless. He looked more like he was wringing out a freshly soaked rag than trying to capture someone...
"Take out the brush, this man can still be saved." Just as I was looking at it, Master Jiu pointed at his backpack and said to me.
"Oh." I agreed, and I quickly gave him the brush, and then mixed cinnabar, white wine, black dog blood and a small bottle of unnamed decoction and brought it to him.
Master Jiu didn't say anything. He took out two long and narrow yellow paper charms from his bag and clamped them on his fingertips. Then he dipped a brush in some mixed ink and dotted it on the boy's eyebrows, throat, Tanzhong, and Laogong points.
and Yongquan points in many places.
After finishing counting them, he hung two more paper charms on the boy's earlobes.
The paper talisman hangs down to the shoulder and is very long. When it touches the boy, the red talisman flashes slightly. It is not obvious, but it looks quite magical.
Master Jiu took the brush and looked at it for a while. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the boy, he called me over and ordered us to tie his wrists and ankles with the four prepared red ropes.
The red rope was very thin. It might be more appropriate to call it a red thread. It was wrapped around the fingertips and tied into a chain, which could just tie up the man's hands and feet.
After everything was settled, Lao Yang and I lifted the kid out of bed, and asked the doctor on duty to find a commonly used original tabletop and put it under the bed in the ward, and then put him on it.
Three small benches were used as supports, so the tabletop was not completely placed on the ground. Seeing them piled together limply, Master Jiu frowned.
This time, the three of us went up together and spent a lot of effort to put the stiff-limbed guy into a cross-sitting posture with "five hearts facing the sky".
It's strange to say that this kid always had his head drooped as if he were dead, and couldn't even lift him up.
But with a little bit of Lord Jiu's cinnabar, his limp body can straighten up immediately, just like that of plasticine, and he will maintain the same posture as you break him into.
"Okay, you guys step back."
After everything was done and all reflective objects in the room were covered, Master Jiu drove away the doctor on duty who was watching eagerly and lit a circle of candles around the round table.
Because we didn’t bring many candles, we cut one candle into three for lighting.
I noticed that there were thirty-six in total, which may coincide with the number of thirty-six Tiangang, or it may have other meanings.
After finishing all this, Jin Jiuye clapped his hands, then turned around and took the brush I was holding and started drawing marks on the kid's forehead.
The spells he drew were very complex, but not sloppy. The content below the word "Edict" was completely symbolic and extremely difficult to identify.
I stared at the marks on it for a long time and could only remember a rough outline.
However, the two long "scoops" hanging on the face like tear stains still left a very deep impression on me, from the bridge of the nose to the corners of the cheeks, it was very weird.
What's even more amazing is that this time the spells painted by Jin Jiuye used two colors. To be more precise, it's more like two spells of different colors superimposed on each other...
In the past, he used to draw these charms with cinnabar. Note that it is only one kind of cinnabar.
But this time, in addition to using a cinnabar-based mixture, he also used a very special ink, blue.
"Lao Yang, go and guard outside. Don't come in unless I tell you." Rolling up his sleeves, Jiu Ye said.
"Okay." After a moment of hesitation, Officer Yang went out.
"What about me?" I asked after hearing this.
"You can stay, it will be beneficial to learn more." Jin Jiuye said and asked me to close the door.
I blocked the door and watched him cast spells, and I was a little excited. I had seen him use many magical powers to deal with evil spirits before, so I already knew what this man was capable of, but those were all offensive Taoist arts. Using Taoist magic to save people was still the first step.
Saw it once.
This time was different from the past. When he picked up the brush again, Jin Jiuye did not directly draw the talisman.
He made a "hand seal (some schools also call it hand seal or finger seal)", and when he made the seal, he held the brush between the two tiger's mouths.
After forming the seal, he brought his clasped hands together with the brush to the position of his eyebrows, closed his eyes tightly, and muttered something.
That gesture is a bit like burning incense, and a bit like praying. Listening to the meaning of the incantation, it is really like asking some great god to help.
During this process, Jin Jiuye worked hard, and it wasn't until Xiaopang and the others got impatient with waiting outside that Jiuye put down his hands.
Then, the fat Taoist priest stepped forward and began to draw the talisman.
I thought that in such a large formation, dozens of them would be drawn around the boy, but I didn’t expect that in the end, Jin Jiuye only drew a very large one on his back.
The talisman is very wide, mixed with some Chinese characters. In addition to various strange symbols, things that resemble small squares but are not occupying most of it.
After finishing the painting, Master Jiu took out the copper cymbal used to open the ghost eye and pressed his two middle fingers on the edge of the cymbal.
He recited some incantation silently, and then, the cymbal turned between his two fingers and pinned it on the boy's head very accurately. It was neither too big nor too small, just enough to cover his head.
"Okay." After clasping his hands, Master Jiu retreated.
At the same time, the thirty-six candles beside the boy flickered, and the light changed from pale yellow to a ghostly light green.
This was the first time I had seen such a situation, and I was obviously a little excited. I squinted my eyes and looked carefully, and I saw the boy sitting cross-legged on the table shaking all over.
His trembling was very special, not large in amplitude but fast in rhythm. The green spots suppressed by the spell also turned into blue-black as he trembled. When this kid almost turned into a Dalmatian, the black spots all over his body
It began to squirm, as if some creature was hiding under the skin and moving around.
They swim very slowly, but their shapes change significantly.
As time goes by, those plaques slowly move down like ink stains washed away by water, spread out, become turbid, and finally turn into blue-black threads floating around the young man's body...
Along with the movement of those plaques, the young man's body began to secrete sweat. I'm not sure whether it was sweat or not, but it was something similar to water.
Hemispherical water droplets flowed out from the skin, and there were a lot of them, mixed with blue-black stuff and flowing down. It looked like a melted clay figure. From a distance, it really looked like a clay Bodhisattva.
