After walking for about twenty minutes, he finally stopped, looked around, nodded and said: "This is the gathering point for the flow of Qi in this place. There is no better place than here."
I cursed in my heart, isn’t it just the highest hill in the village? Just stand high and look far, what a gathering point for the flow of energy!
Old Man Jiang didn't know what I was thinking, he just ordered my dad to put the table in a certain position and start setting up the altar. If he knew what I was thinking, I guess my butt would suffer again.
After the altar was set up, Old Man Jiang said seriously: "I am going to walk around and open my eyes. It is different from the ordinary eyes that see ghosts. This time I open my eyes to see through everything in this village in order to find the soul of the second sister." There is a taboo in this opening. Neither humans nor livestock can bump into it. You retreat below the slope and make sure that no livestock can bump into it, especially cats, dogs and the like."
Fortunately, this slope gradually becomes smaller from bottom to top. The three of us stood halfway up and could not see what Old Man Jiang was doing, and the three of us could completely guard this place to prevent the livestock from colliding.
In fact, which family’s livestock would run here in the middle of the night? Besides, after those three years, there were far fewer wild animals, so this was just a precaution.
Old Man Jiang solemnly took out the Taoist robe from his bag and put it on. This time he took out two peach wood swords. In short, in my impression, Old Man Jiang liked hand techniques more and less movement. Magical weapon', it seems this time is different.
Then, Old Man Jiang took out another token and something I didn't recognize. Later I found out that it was called a wat, which was the thing held by the ministers on TV (Song Dynasty) later.
This battle is really amazing.
"I'm going to start stepping on the gang, you guys retreat quickly." Old Man Jiang shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the three members of my family hurriedly left the three agreed-upon places and guarded Old Man Jiang's actions very nervously.
The three of us couldn't see what was going on on the top of the slope, but after a while, we heard Old Man Jiang's clear voice: "I accept the law of the Supreme Being, and I will do whatever I want... . . . .”
This is the first time I have heard and heard clearly Old Man Jiang's mantra, but I don't know what it means specifically.
It only took a few minutes, but to my family, these minutes were as long as hours. They were afraid that something would jump up and hit Old Man Jiang.
But fortunately, this torture ended quickly, and we clearly heard Old Man Jiang shout: "Open!"
Then there was silence. I don't know what my parents felt, but at this moment, I saw the sky in the entire village suddenly change color. Several colors slowly gathered here and then dispersed.
But it was only for a moment, and in the next moment the whole village returned to its original appearance.
I'm calm, I'm really calm. I'm almost used to this inexplicable ability of mine. I've seen ghosts before. Am I still afraid of these colorful qi
It was quiet for several minutes before we heard Old Man Jiang's voice: "You can come up now!"
Our family of three breathed a sigh of relief and ran quickly towards the top of the mountain, eager to know where my second sister's soul was.
"There are two souls in the same place, and the other places where one soul and two souls are different save some trouble." As soon as Old Man Jiang saw us, he told us the location of my second sister's soul.
"Where is it?" My mother was very anxious.
"I will take you there, don't worry. Well, in order to avoid collision, Lao Chen, you go back first, and Xiuyun and Sanwa'er can just follow me." Old Man Jiang said.
My dad hurriedly agreed. He didn't dare to bear the consequences of his daughter losing her soul.
After cleaning up the altar, my dad moved the table back, leaving the three of us. At this time, Old Man Jiang took out a flat lantern from his treasure bag-like bag and fiddled with the bamboo inside. The lantern bulged up as he put it on the stand, and he handed the lantern to my mother.
Then he took out a white candle from the package, put it in, and then said: "When we get to the place later, Sanwa'er and I will stay far away to protect you. After all, living souls are easily frightened. You have to light the lantern all the way and keep calling the second sister's name. You must not stop, your steps must be slow, and the lantern must not be extinguished, otherwise the living soul may disperse due to panic, so you must remember."
After saying that, Old Man Jiang took out a red thread bracelet from his bag and put it on my mother's hand, tightened the knot on it, and then said: "This is a part of your yang energy that is locked in. The soul of the second sister has been wandering outside for several days. Maybe the woman's yang energy can dissipate it. After you wear this knot, remember not to act rashly under any circumstances, otherwise the yang energy will fluctuate and dissipate. It won't be good if you tie this knot. You also know that I don't dare to lock up your excess yang energy, as it will be detrimental to your health."
It turns out that there are so many taboos about soul-calling. My mother got nervous. She pulled Old Man Jiang and said, "Master Jiang, please give me the key Cynomorium knot. Please, I'm not afraid. As long as I can get the second sister to Bring your soul back safely."
"No! Absolutely not." Old Man Jiang rejected my mother without even thinking about it.
My mother knew that old man Jiang almost always said the right thing when he was serious, so she had no choice but to agree sadly.
"Behind that tree is one of the second sister's souls. The soul is slightly stronger than the body. Let's call the soul back first." At this time, Old Man Jiang had already brought my mother and me to the second sister's first place. The location of Lost Souls was explained in detail.
My mother nodded nervously. Old Man Jiang lit the candle in the lantern for my mother without saying a word, then nodded to my mother, and then pulled me back almost ten meters.
My mother held the lantern carefully, for fear that the fire inside would go out, and then walked behind the tree.
"Chen Xiaojuan, Chen Xiaojuan..." My mother called my second sister's name in a low voice, while Old Man Jiang and I watched the situation closely.
"Sanwa'er, do you want to see it?" Old Man Jiang asked me.
I nodded hurriedly. My natural clairvoyance works sometimes but not always. At this time, I really wanted to see my second sister.
"Well, it's not that difficult to see a living soul. You listen to me. Now close your eyes, put your tongue against the roof of your mouth, don't think about anything, feel the surroundings wholeheartedly, and then recite this mantra... "Old man Jiang explained to me in detail.
In fact, clairvoyance is almost the most difficult magical power to cultivate. It requires a high accumulation of skills to reach the point where the combination of formulas can be achieved naturally. This is a "gift" from God. Of course, it is terrifying for ordinary people to be in this situation.
This is the talent of cultivating the Tao. Of course, if my character is not pure, I will also be rejected by the door of the Tao.
I did what Old Man Jiang said, and sure enough, after just a short while, I 'saw' it, but it wasn't as magical as that accidental one. I could only see a dark patch, and my mother was blurry. ’s shadow, Old Man Jiang’s blurry shadow, and a group of gray things following behind my mother.
When I looked closer, I saw that the gray thing was my second sister alive, but her expression was very dull, and her whole body was light and airy, giving it an unreal feeling.
At this time, I saw Old Man Jiang nodding to my mother, thinking it was okay. My mother called the second sister and she could take my second sister away.
My mother understood, carefully held the lantern, called the second sister's name loudly, and walked towards my home.
But at this moment, I saw several other groups of gray mist, which were quickly approaching my mother. I knew what they were, and I almost screamed, but at this time, a pair of big hands covered my mouth.
Needless to say, the one who covered my mouth was my master. As soon as he covered my mouth, I couldn't make any sound. But at the same time, I calmed down. I knew that my master had a purpose in doing this.
My mother held the lantern and continued to call my second sister's name in a low voice as she walked forward. After they walked some distance away, I clearly saw 4 or 5 groups of gray and black shadows following my mother. I also looked carefully. , just like 4 or 5 people, with the same numb expression.
What's scary is that they are just like this one by one, lined up in neat vertical rows, following my mother. In my eyes, it looks like they are driving a train, and my mother is the locomotive.
