As the saying goes, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
Ghosts and gods are the most difficult to deal with.
Ordinary wild spirits are fine, but the things in the underworld are completely untouchable. These things are called public officials in the world of the living, and they have their own attributes. It is troublesome to touch them. If you encounter bad luck, it will be considered a light disaster. If you are not careful, you will be involved in bloody disasters.
What's more, I simply invited such a thing to my body?
With my master here, I don't worry about not being able to send it away, but no one wants to get stained.
"Just tell me, will you save Zhang Xinya?"
Lao Bai saw that I was very unhappy, and said unhappily: "I tell you clearly that I can't be the medium. The person who raises the Gu has the aura that ghosts and gods don't like. Yaozi and your master have to watch over it as a treasure to protect the house. No one can do this job except you."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lao Bai smiled complacently and continued to arrange.
A long table was placed in front of the door, with some simple offerings on it. This is the etiquette for asking ghosts to do things. Whether they enjoy it or not is one thing, and whether we put it up or not is another. This is the same as asking someone to do something for you. You can't leave your hands empty, otherwise it would be disrespectful. Even if they accept it, they will definitely not be in a good mood.
Then, Lao Bai built a small door in front of the table with bricks, which is called the pylorus.
Of course, this pylorus has nothing to do with human organs. In fact, this small door can also be regarded as a medium connecting yin and yang. When burning paper and offering sacrifices to the dead at the grave during festivals, it is inevitable to put such a door in front of the grave. Only with it can the dead come out to receive the money, which is naturally indispensable at this time.
After doing all this, Lao Bai reminded me to put on the Taoist robe, and threw a cushion on the ground, and asked me to sit cross-legged facing the offering table, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground.
I was not happy about it, but I didn't say anything. After hearing this, I couldn't help asking Lao Bai if he was reliable. Can this pose be casually taken? The big guys in ancient times loved this pose. It is said that when Sakyamuni was born, he was in this pose, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, which means that I am the only one in the world.
Who the hell am I? If I pose like this, isn't that asking for trouble?
Lao Bai said that it is good to be polite when asking others to do things, but you can't lose your own prestige. This is called fairness only when there is absolute strength. When the guy climbs up from below, he will be scared to death once he passes the pylorus.
When I heard this, how could I not know that this is another pit guy playing freely?
I thought that the master below might not be frightened into paralysis, but I was beaten to bed. I shook my head immediately and didn't listen to his nonsense. After a little thought, I made a "Tai Chi Yin Yang Bagua Chain Secret".
This name sounds intimidating, but it is actually a hand seal that Taoists often make when sitting cross-legged in meditation. It is very simple. Hold the four fingers of the right hand with the left hand's tiger's mouth. At the same time, the tips of the thumbs of both hands touch the Laogong acupoints of the other palm, which are roughly located in the concave part of the palm. In this way, the two thumbs form the shape of a "Tai Chi diagram" at the tiger's mouth. The four fingers represent the Bagua. The two hands, one yin and one yang, hold the true self. Even if evil spirits come to the body, they cannot take away their mind and will, and they can always keep a trace of clarity.
I have seen my master meditate like this more than once. He said that this is a better way to meditate. Many people's only understanding of meditation is "five hearts facing the sky", which is actually biased. "Five hearts facing the sky" is only used when sitting in the dead end, because the biggest function of this sitting posture is that you can sit for a long time.
After listening to many explanations, I naturally did it in a very good way.
Lao Bai secretly glanced at me more than once. Seeing that I was still calm, he whispered a reminder, then took out the three incense sticks given by my master, lit them and inserted them in the incense bowl.
A faint leather smell and a bit strange smell spread.
I know that this is the smell of spiritual incense. This kind of incense has strange ingredients. It is made of the hoof shells of four animals: cattle, horses, sheep, and deer, plus some strange Chinese herbal medicines. Because the hoof shells of these four animals are the most down-to-earth, the biggest function of this spiritual incense is to communicate with the people below.
Of course, in addition to this kind of spiritual incense, there is another kind of incense called the incense for inviting gods, which can also communicate with the underworld, but the effect is weaker than that of spiritual incense. This kind of incense is used directly to communicate with the extraordinary existence below. It is said that someone used spiritual incense to invite one of the Ten Kings of Hell, but he died suddenly the next day because he could not bear it.
Once the spiritual incense is lit, it means that the ceremony officially begins.
This is not the first time that I have been a medium for possession, but it is the first time that I have been possessed by something from the underworld. I can't help but feel a little nervous, and my breath is a little disordered and rapid, but I soon forced myself to calm down. The more panicked this kind of thing is, the worse it will be.
The green smoke rises, the smell is very strong, and the smoke gathers in the air and will not dissipate with the wind. There are only three thin incense sticks, but the smoke is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, it is like a fire, and the surroundings are shrouded in smoke.
I kept staring at the pylorus in front of me. I don't know if it was because I inhaled too much smoke or for other reasons, but gradually I felt a strong sense of drowsiness. My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and my vision became more and more blurry.
"Who is calling me?"
A shrill voice suddenly sounded, with a little suspicion: "No, it's a familiar breath, as if it's an old friend."
I heard this voice clearly, and my whole body was shocked. My sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace. I rubbed my eyes hard and looked around. Where was the ghost? There was only thick smoke.
"Strange, it's here!"
I muttered to myself and wanted to ask Lao Bai. As a result, I turned my head and saw that Lao Bai had been sleeping like a pig leaning against the steps, snoring loudly.
I thought that this spiritual incense might be a little strange. Seeing that there was nothing unusual around, I gradually relaxed again.
The sleepiness came again, and this time it was particularly strong. I yawned and tears came out. My vision became more and more blurred. Everything around me had double images. It was a very strange feeling, as if I had entered some kind of illusion. A black shadow gradually emerged in front of my eyes.
"Donglaishun's copper hot pot?"
I exclaimed. The black shadow swayed in the blur. There was a long and thin chimney on the top and a round shape on the bottom. It looked like a more retro copper hot pot.
I shook my head and couldn't help patting my belly. I wondered if I was hungry. I was clearly receiving things from the underworld, but why did I have hallucinations and see copper hot pots inexplicably?
"Wow..."
A loud roar suddenly exploded: "I am so angry! Where did you come from, you are so blind and don't know the true face of Mount Tai. You look carefully for me!"
Bang!
I got a very loud slap on the head.
Then, everything around me became clear, even the billowing smoke disappeared, leaving only an extremely wretched face swaying in front of me.
This face is really too wretched...
A face that is very long, with prominent cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and drooping cheek flesh. The face is full of black and blue air, but there are two moustaches on the upper lip, a goatee on the lower jaw, and very deep nasolabial folds, a typical wretched appearance.
Moreover, the other party looks skinny, but he is wearing a loose black coat, with a pointed high hat on his head, and the words "catching you" are written on it.
I woke up from a dream, and suddenly such a wretched and decadent face appeared in front of me. I couldn't help but laugh out loud...
"Wow, I am so angry!"
The wretched ghost in front of me jumped up and slapped me on the forehead again, and directly slapped me into a gourd rolling on the ground.
This time, my muddled and rigid mind finally cleared up a little. I got up from the ground and looked at the person in front of me. The more I looked, the more I felt something was wrong. I felt vaguely familiar, especially the four words "catching you" on his hat, which simply blinded my eyes.
Cold sweat rolled down my forehead, and I was cold from head to toe.
This person... seems to be the legendary Black Impermanence, Black Eight Master!!
I felt that I was completely harmed by the spiritual incense, which had damaged my brain. What stupid thing did I do in a daze to say that the tall hat on Black Eight Master's head looked like a copper hot pot? The most shameful thing is that he actually laughed...
According to legend, among the ten great underworld masters, the two masters, Black and White Impermanence, are the most distinctive. The seventh master, White Impermanence, is a hanged ghost, with a long tongue, which looks ferocious, but he is actually the most righteous. The eighth master, Black Impermanence, hates evil and has a fiery temper. If a criminal falls into his hands, there is no hope. He is famous for his narrow-mindedness! !
I looked up at this master cautiously, but I saw that the corners of the eighth master's eyes twitched, his two small mustaches were twitching, and his pair of pea-like eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to skin me alive.
Well, it's obvious that he has a grudge against me...
