My Taoist Career

Chapter 97: Gu cup

Views:

Yes, it was the hungry ghost who appeared. 48 red balls of light rose into the sky, like balls of blood. Among them was a special red ball, which was so red that it gave people a thrilling feeling.

And these 48 red lights all give people a feeling of violence and resentment.

I really wanted to see the appearance of a hungry ghost, so I followed my usual experience and looked intently. With just one glance, I took a few steps back because I saw the hungry ghost I was staring at growl at me.

The image is really terrifying, completely different from the one on the relief. The hungry ghost on the relief is short and skinny, while this hungry ghost is very tall and cannot be said to be strong, but naturally there is a ferocious aura flowing out. Its eyes are fierce and violent, and its mouth is open. When roaring, the huge fangs were nothing more than flames coming out of its mouth.

"Sir, close your heavenly eyes and go away. You can't bear the impact of the hungry ghost's aura." The master shouted loudly.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately opened my eyes and closed my heavenly eyes, but even so, my blood and blood surged unavoidably, and I felt dizzy for a while.

After calming down for a while, I finally came to my senses, and then I looked at Master struggling to perform the hand movements, as if he was being pulled by something, trying hard to maintain.

This is the harm of the backhand technique. Originally, the technique is in compliance with the laws of heaven and attracts the power of heaven. However, the backhand technique is actually against the law of heaven in disguise. It is normal to have traction to prevent it.

The strong wind blew by in waves. I counted 48 winds before everything calmed down.

Ghosts are invisible. If people can sense the existence of ghosts, the only thing they can sense is the movement of the wind. After all, it causes changes in the aura.

Old Man Jiang tiredly stopped his hand skills, and I quickly ran to help him: "Master, are you okay?"

"I can still hold on. Huijue also has great skills. It's a pity that he can't take action in such a scene of killing the body. He can't even look at it. He must avoid it." Old Man Jiang said quietly.

In fact, I think it’s rare that someone with a different belief can still become such a good friend.

After collecting the purple talisman, Old Man Jiang carefully folded it into a triangle and put it away with him. I asked, "Master, do you want to save them now?"

Old Man Jiang's face was extremely heavy and he said: "I can't save it because there are still two missing!"

"What?" My expression suddenly changed.

In the small bamboo forest building, an oil lamp emitted a warm, dim yellow light, but it could not illuminate the heavy faces of the three people.

"Master, I counted 48 correctly. Why do you say there are two missing when there are so many?" This question is very serious, and I think we must ask it clearly.

"There should be 49 bugs in a voodoo cup. When Lao Du took out the voodoo cup that day, I took a look and found that there were no previously hatched egg shells in the voodoo cup, which means there should be 49 bugs in the voodoo cup. "Old man Jiang said a little tiredly.

"Master, how do you tell that there are no hatched ones before?" I asked.

"If this kind of hungry ghost insect hatches for more than 10 days, the egg shell will turn red, which is clearly visible at a glance." Old Man Jiang said.

Huijue raised his eyebrows in agreement.

"Master, I know you must know what's going on in that tomb. Just tell me." In fact, I have been holding back a lot of questions for a long time, and today I felt that I had to ask.

Old Man Jiang glanced at me, but before he spoke, I immediately added: "Master, I am your apprentice. If you teach me more of these knowledge, you are also leading the apprentice! Also, Master, I still want to ask, I'm not here What are the consequences of eating two?"

Huijue sang the Buddha's name, looked at Old Jiang with rare sincerity, and said: "Old Jiang, I know how much you want to protect your disciples. You dote on the third baby too much. There are some things that I can't force you to do. If you don’t want to talk about it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t talk about it, he is already involved in the matter of the hungry ghost, so you should talk to him properly.”

Old Man Jiang pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Huijue, somewhat disbelieving, and asked uncertainly: "Old Man Hui, do you mean to let me take Sanwa'er into the Hungry Ghost?" Tomb?"

Huijue sang the Buddha's name again and said, "That's exactly it."

"You..." Old Man Jiang suddenly stood up and looked at Huijue with a little excitement.

"If you want him to die early in the future, just do it now. A chick cannot stay under the wings of a hen all its life, and an eaglet cannot fly without spreading its wings all its life. Don't you understand?" Hui Jue was very serious. Speaking of.

Old Man Jiang was a little irritable and kept pacing. After a long time, he sat down again and said something.

I didn't speak. In fact, I was so excited that I fell to the ground as a young man. When I went to a place, I didn't think about the danger, I only thought about the excitement. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth to speak, my excitement would be exposed.

When I heard Master say something, I almost jumped up, but I held it back.

Suddenly, I somewhat understood how Surou had been pestering me the past few days. It seemed that young people's curiosity was indeed an instinct, but I might not be able to go there myself. Without the right to make the decision, of course I couldn't agree to him.

In fact, I couldn't hide my joy. I thanked Old Man Huijue a hundred times in my heart, but I was caught by Master unexpectedly.

"I know you're happy, but you don't have to show it so obviously, right?"

I scratched my head and laughed. I didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that I would be immediately deprived of the right to go down. But I didn't expect Old Man Jiang to say next: "Listen carefully to what I'm saying next. There will be many dangers after going down." .”

I nodded solemnly.

"Guo Er and the others accidentally broke into a Gu room. The Hungry Ghost Insect is actually a kind of Gu Insect, but it is extremely rare. Originally, this world should have been extinct. To be precise, it should have been extinct in the Ming Dynasty. , I really didn't expect to find traces of it now." Old Man Jiang's face was very heavy.

"Yes, I also thought that only a few old monsters in Miaojiang might still have one or two insect eggs." Hui Jue also said seriously.

"It's hard to judge all this before going to the grave. We can only talk about it after going to the grave. This matter must be kept highly confidential, otherwise people with ulterior motives will know about it, and the consequences will be disastrous." Old Man Jiang said.

Huijue coughed twice. It seemed that he didn't want to talk too much to me about these aspects. Old Man Jiang also fell silent. I looked at the two of them inexplicably, and suddenly felt that the world was very complicated.

"Without further ado, in short, I have traveled around the world and have the honor to know something about Miao Gu. According to the rules, there should be 9 such Gu chambers, and there should be a ghost mother in the tomb." Old Man Jiang was silent for a while, and then again Explain it to me.

"Ghost mother?" I thought about it, and suddenly felt a little scary. The hungry ghost bugs are so powerful, so their mothers are not extremely powerful.

"You don't have to worry so much. The ghost mother is already a very mature existence. She can't stay in the human world for a long time. She should fall into dormancy. Unless necessary, special methods are used to stimulate its reproduction. This tomb is man-made. , I suspect that it exists to artificially cultivate the Hungry Ghost King."

"This is unquestionable." Huijue said rather seriously.

My head was spinning. They were talking incoherently, but I didn’t understand anything about these, so I said, "Master, please tell me about the tomb and the jar." Right? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

"Hey, when I think about this, I feel quite uneasy, so..." Old Man Jiang felt embarrassed for a moment, and then said seriously: "That jar is made of a special kind of clay, that kind of There is something special added to the clay. I don’t know what it is specifically because it involves the secrets of Miao territory. In short, the jar can seal the hungry ghost insect and imprison it after it is born. My guess is that the principle is The Hungry Ghost Insect is more nostalgic for that taste, or it can temporarily relieve the Hungry Ghost Insect's physical hunger pain, but Miao Gu is also a broad and profound knowledge, I can only guess the details." Old Man Jiang said.

At this time, Huijue spoke: "You are not going to teach Sanwa'er the art of Gu. What are you going to do in detail? Let's keep the story short."

Old Man Jiang rolled his eyes at Hui Jue. I was afraid that the two of them would make trouble again, so I quickly said: "Master, why are there so many small holes on it?"
