Chapter 86 It's easy to save people, but it's hard to catch the evil way
Zhang Wenfeng went out and called the donkey who was staying in a dark corner of the yard. He took a few yellow charms and put them in his sleeves. He spoke to the donkey and said a few words. The donkey turned around and continued to stay in the darkness.
Hearing the woman's muffled screams and Wei Xingde's low scolding coming from the kitchen, Zhang Wenfeng ignored them.
After crossing the threshold and entering the main door, I blew out the candles in the main room and only the oil lamp remained. It was too bright and would not be good for evil spirits to see.
Yue Anyan saw that the temple master had taken the items and made no next move. Instead, he sat down on a chair in the main room and asked through a message: "Buddhist master, I would like to ask you, how does the evil way come to collect souls and harm people in the dark? How should we deal with it?"
"
She was not good at legal matters and did not have much involvement in them back then.
Most of the yellow talismans she knew were for home control, warding off evil spirits, stopping bleeding, etc., and they mostly cooperated with medical methods.
Zhang Wenfeng replied via voice transmission: "The soul-stealing talisman can harm people in roughly three steps. Once you have identified the target, cast the talisman first and let the target come into contact. Others picking up the talisman will not have much effect. This involves some relatively remote people."
Cause and effect, for example, Jushi Wei's family has a grudge against each other, but it's hard to say how big or small the grudge is, or it may just be a few quarrels. If there is no grudge, the soul-stealing charm cannot harm anyone."
"The second step is for the target to open the talisman and curse the evil force on the body. Others cannot open it first on the way, otherwise no one will be harmed. The third step is from midnight to the fifth watch. The person who placed the talisman comes to collect it.
Soul, I don’t know the specific distance to collect the soul, I guess it won’t be too far away.”
"The soul-stealing spell is relatively unpopular. Children are ignorant and curious. If they pick up things they shouldn't pick up, they are easily possessed by evil spirits. If you notice it in time, bathe the children with moxa leaf salt water before dark, which can remove the evil spirits. If
It's dark and you can't wake up after sleeping. You can apply salt water on your forehead three times before the third watch and use the soul-calling technique to wake you up. However, the person who is possessed by the evil will become seriously ill, so the best way is to use the yellow talisman to stabilize the soul first, and then
Use exorcism."
After hearing the explanation from the temple owner, Yue Anyan nodded thoughtfully.
Knowing the method, she will be able to deal with this situation in time next time she encounters this situation alone, and said through the message: "In other words, the person who cast the spell arrived at Nitan Village this afternoon. It is possible that he saw me in the village assessing and selecting apprentices?"
"The child picked up the talisman at the east end of the village. The person who cast the talisman must have appeared in the east of the village. You are conducting the assessment in the courtyard of Muramasa's house. Unless the person who cast the talisman is from the village, he will not wander around the village.
A stranger entering the village is too conspicuous and can easily leave clues and hidden dangers."
After listening to the conservator's careful analysis, Yue Anyan nodded.
She found that the viewer had really become different. Not only did he know more, he also had a kind of restrained self-confidence.
They hadn't seen each other for just a few years, which made her, a senior sister, look up to her with admiration.
Waiting to communicate again, Wei Xingde held a wooden tray in his hands and walked in with two steaming porcelain bowls. Behind him were a woman with her head lowered and a dark-skinned boy. The boy also held a tray with two bowls on it.
Put water and coarse salt separately.
The porcelain bowls were placed on the table in front of the viewer and Yue Anyan, containing eggs boiled in frosting sugar.
There are three peeled eggs in each of the two bowls, which is a courtesy given to the most distinguished guests in the countryside.
"Master, Taoist Priest Yue, please have some tea! There is nothing to entertain you in the countryside, so please use it slowly."
Wei Xingde took a few steps back, holding the tray and smiling a little reservedly.
Zhang Wenfeng knew that this was called "egg tea", and counting the time, Wei Xingde's wife entered the kitchen and started boiling eggs. He stood up and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you are too polite."
The woman glanced up and then quickly lowered her head. Her eyes were red and she had obviously cried. She only said, "You're welcome, I didn't entertain you, I didn't entertain you."
Her feet felt like roots, and she refused to go to the east room, and she didn't dare to look at the master's face. She wanted to see the child, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Wenfeng said to Wei Xingde: "We'll use the tea later. Let's go see your child."
Wei Xingde quickly put down the tray and closed the door. Seeing the viewer walking in front, he whispered to his mother-in-law: "Don't cry when we see you later. We are doing business."
I took an extinguished candle and lit it to illuminate the temple owner and Taoist Master Yue.
The woman entered the west room and saw that the child's face was red and he was asleep. She wanted to reach out to touch his forehead, but Wei Xingde glared at her and immediately retracted her eyes. Her tears could no longer stop flowing down. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands, not daring to do so.
I cried out for fear of annoying the viewer and delaying the important task of saving people.
Zhang Wenfeng said in a warm voice: "Sister-in-law, please don't worry, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here. If I didn't want to help you find the thief who is harming people in the dark, I can help the young master exorcise evil spirits and save him now. As the saying goes, it's easier to hide from an open gun than to hide from a hidden arrow."
Beware, if the thief is not caught this time, it will be even harder to prevent him from harming people next time."
The woman whimpered and turned her head and said: "Thank you so much, Lord... There is no need now..."
She understood the importance of it, but she was extremely worried inside.
Yue Anyan pulled the woman out and whispered comfort. She had a cold temperament, but she knew the hardships in the world.
Wei Xingde sneered and said: "My dear, I have never seen such a scene. I was frightened. Please forgive me."
In fact, he himself had never seen evil ways harming people. As the backbone of the family, he just didn't dare to show his cowardice.
Zhang Wenfeng took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, asked Wei Xingde and the young man holding a bowl of salt and water to step back, and muttered words without using any paste. With a little Yuan Qi, he used the activated "Jia Chen Fei Qing Protective Talisman"
Pasted on the wall beside the bed with a bang, it was the yellow talisman he drew last time, such as the God of Protection, which happened to be usable this time.
He took the salt bowl from the young man's hand and carefully sprinkled the salt grains around the old bed.
"Don't worry, I used the 'Sacred Talisman' to protect his soul. The thieves can't succeed. Jushi Wei, please bring a clear oil lamp."
Zhang Wenfeng mixed the almost empty salt bowl with two and a half bowls of salt water and placed one bowl in front of the bed and one bowl behind the bed.
And above the small window on the south side, an ordinary house-holding talisman was pasted.
Wei Xingde said: "That's good, that's good." He turned around and went out, quickly getting the oil lamp.
Zhang Wenfeng lit the oil lamp, placed it in the salt circle behind the bed, blocked the light, and said: "Jushi Wei, the candle has been blown out. You stay in the room and don't enter the salt circle I drew. It's midnight."
Finally, if you see the light of the oil lamp swinging for no reason, just call us."
Wei Xingde hurriedly blew out the candles and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll keep watching from the room."
The young man mustered up his courage and said, "I will keep the oil lamp with my father."
Zhang Wenfeng turned around and walked out, saying calmly: "Go to the east room to accompany your mother. Don't let your mother worry alone."
In fact, he just gave Wei Xingde something to do so that he would not be idle and distracted.
There is a donkey patrolling outside the yard. Whenever a thief appears, he will be discovered by the donkey in advance. Furthermore, he can also detect the thief approaching to cast a spell through the yellow talisman.
Wei Xingde glared at the young man and shouted: "Go quickly! Don't forget what I told you before."
The young man took the salt bowl and followed the master of the temple out. When he arrived at the main room, he bowed and whispered, "Thank you!" He hurriedly entered the east room. After a while, Yue Anyan came out of the east room and closed the door.
Zhang Wenfeng sat down to drink the sugar water with a porcelain spoon, and invited his senior sister to eat egg tea. The master was so kind that he had to accept it.
After the two of them finished their tea, Zhang Wenfeng blew out the oil lamp, and each sat in a chair in the darkness, closed their eyes, adjusted their breath, and rested their minds.
Late at night in the countryside, except for the occasional barking of dogs, it was very quiet.
Time passes slowly and the moon moves away.
Before he could get up, the clapper sounded, and Zhang Wenfeng's ear suddenly heard the voice of a donkey: "Master, the thief is here. I smell his scent. The thief has circled the courtyard wall twice. Do you want to take action?"
Zhang Wenfeng opened his eyes. He sensed that the donkey was under the eaves on the left side of the gate, not more than three feet away. He sent a message and asked: "How many thieves are there?"
"There is only one person found so far, tall and tall, wearing black clothes, holding a bottle in his hand... uh..."
Donkey's message transmission was suddenly interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Zhang Wenfeng noticed that the donkey's breath was unstable. He was startled, got up and jumped towards the gate.
