In the evening, Cheng Jie and his wife didn't dare to sleep here any longer. Xie Lingya took them to Baoyang Temple for a night. The next day, according to what Shi Changxuan said, he went to the back market to buy two pigs and two sheep. .
The boss also finds it strange that after slaughtering pigs and sheep, even the blood and even the feces are taken away.
Although it was packed in bags and buckets, Cheng Jie was still dizzy the moment these things were loaded into the car. The car was filled with a strong smell of sheep, meat, blood and feces. taste.
"I want to vomit... I must go to wash the car." Cheng Jie's face was dark when he drove. Fan Fang took a Lingzu amulet given by Xie Lingya and went back to her parents' house. She had been preparing for pregnancy some time ago, and she must not come out as a bait.
Because Xie Lingya had a trouble once, and the one-legged five-way was prepared, Cheng Jie had to be the bait, otherwise Xie Lingya and the others alone would not be able to lure them out.
After yesterday's popular science by Xie Lingya, Cheng Jie already knew who Shi Changxuan was. Last night, Shi Changxuan recognized the origin of the one-legged five-way link at a glance, which made him quite trust, and couldn't help but ask: " When will Master Shi come?"
"I've made an appointment with him. I'll see you at the gate of your community. I'll call him to see where he is. He's a foreigner, so he may not be familiar with the road." Xie Lingya contacted Shi Changxuan and waited for them to arrive at the community. Not long after, Shi Changxuan also came by taxi, still wearing casual clothes and carrying a bag.
Cheng Jie and Shi Changxuan greeted each other, and the three of them carried the sacrifice upstairs, which took two trips, and all the neighbors who passed by looked sideways.
The sacrifices were all packed in bags, and the bucket was covered. Xie Lingya sat on the ground to rest and checked the time. It was seven o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still several hours from eleven to one o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Jie ordered some cold dishes for the takeaway, and also opened a bottle of wine, saying that he would drink some wine to strengthen his courage. The three of them ate and watched TV while waiting for the hour to come.
The one-legged and five-way stone statue was placed on the TV cabinet. When you looked up, you could see its strange face. Of course, there was nothing in it at this time.
Cheng Jie ate a few glasses of wine, his body warmed up, and he had courage. He said to Xie Lingya, "You're not, you keep saying that you will be admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination, why did you finally become a Taoist priest?"
"I already told you that I'm not a Taoist priest." Xie Lingya sighed, but it's not easy to make it too clear.
Cheng Jie said: "I don't believe it, you will have to do it in the future. Daochang Shi, this guy was a strange person when he was in college. As soon as a girl asked him out, he said he wanted to study, and he rejected many people, including them. I rely on it, and it turned out to be one-sided."
Shi Changxuan: "..."
"...What nonsense is it? Is it wrong for me to love studying? I haven't given up on postgraduate entrance exams, so don't change my wishes for me." Xie Lingya said dissatisfiedly.
Most of the time, Cheng Jie and Xie Lingya were reminiscing about the past. Cheng Jie talked about Xie Lingya's deeds in college, most of which were fancy rejection of suitors, while Shi Changxuan was silent for a long time.
Although Cheng Jie was chatting hotly, he actually kept checking the time from time to time and felt uneasy in his heart.
When it was more than ten o'clock, Xie Lingya put down the chopsticks, he immediately understood in his heart, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Although Xie Lingya reassured and they were not injured yesterday, Cheng Jie was scared. The unscientific picture was too scary. Besides, Shi Changxuan said today that he couldn't turn on the lights. Scared of a heart attack.
…
No matter how uneasy Cheng Jie was, Xie Lingya had already started to prepare. He opened the door to allow the one-legged Wutong to come in, and then raised his hand and took off the T-shirt he was wearing. Xie Lingya's skin tone and face are the same, they are all cold and white, and they are very beautiful.
Cheng Jie also took off his shirt with a white face, and the courage to drink just now seemed to be vented again. Seeing him like this, Xie Lingya comforted him, "You'll be fine after tonight. Where's the amulet I gave you?"
Cheng Jie took out the spiritual ancestor amulet from his trousers pocket and squeezed it tightly in the palm of his hand.
"Look, just take this one. I let go of this talisman in front of the altar of the ancestors." Xie Lingya finished speaking, seeing that Shi Changxuan had also taken off his shirt, revealing his smooth muscles. Xie Lingya suddenly remembered that he "accidentally" touched it in the car last time. It seems that Shi Changxuan does not exercise much.
Not bad, if his uncle has such a disciple, who is so excellent in all aspects, I believe he will be very pleased.
Xie Lingya also slightly raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction, and after looking at Shi Changxuan's eyes, he quickly smiled at him friendly.
Shi Changxuan: "..."
"Shi Daochang, do you still need to spread the rice? I don't know what went wrong last time, and the rice didn't respond when the one-legged five-way came." Xie Lingya asked.
Shi Chang hung his eyes and said, "...that's for the ghosts in the house, and it's not valid for the one-legged five-way link."
"Ah, but the one-legged and five-way links are invisible, so how can I tell them apart. If I hire a spirit ancestor's divine eye, will it be discovered by it?" Xie Lingya said hesitantly.
Wang Lingguan's supernatural powers are just as brave, but because of this, he is not very suitable for sneak attacks.
Shi Changxuan came prepared as expected, and said, "I will use the paper moon technique to illuminate the ghost image, you just need to pay attention to the ground."
Although Xie Lingya didn't know what his technique was, he knew that he could see the shadow on the ground, and nodded immediately.
It was not long before eleven o'clock. Shi Changxuan also drew the curtains, opened the bag containing pork and mutton, opened the bucket containing blood, water, feces and filth, placed the stone statue on the offering table, and placed the sacrifice before the offering table. Turn off the lights.
The room was pitch black for a while, and the only thing I could smell was the stench of flesh and blood, which was disgusting and reminiscent.
The darkness is frightening, Cheng Jie trembled: "Can't you open the curtains?"
Xie Lingya: "What kind of curtains are drawn, do you still have floor-to-ceiling windows in your home? What's the difference between pulling the curtains and turning on the lights?"
Cheng Jie: "..."
Shi Changxuan became more peaceful and said, "It's time to start."
Cheng Jie slowly climbed to the front of the sacrifice, swallowed, and put his palms together and bowed a few times. In the darkness, he could only vaguely see the outline of the stone statue, but the memory in his mind always made him imagine the one-legged five-way looking at him in the dark, and his bare upper body felt even more chilled.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan were behind Cheng Jie on the left and right, and they also bowed silently, with the peach wood sword beside them.
Cheng Jie recited prayers in front of the stone statue, recited the name of the one-legged five-way link, and made a wish to ask it to bless him with riches, "... If I promise, from now on, every New Year's Day, every first day of the month, I will give it to the gods. Offer these offerings."
After reading, Cheng Jie slowly rubbed back, not daring to turn around. When he rubbed next to Xie Lingya, Xie Lingya pushed him, meaning hurry up. Cheng Jie shrunk to the side of the table, tightly closing his eyes and daring not to open them.
…
Time seemed to pass very slowly in the dark, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan also stepped aside, quietly waiting for the one-legged five-way sensor to sense the worship of the believers and come to enjoy it.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties and before, the one-legged five letters were widely followed, but as the times gradually changed, there were not many believers even of the righteous gods, let alone the demon gods.
Its temples are gone, its idols are broken and discarded, and I don't know how many years I have not enjoyed offerings.
In the dark, the demon god is just about to move.
The wide-open door rattled slightly, as if someone brushed past. Cheng Jie's body trembled, and he didn't dare to open his eyes. Xie Lingya glanced at Shi Changxuan in the dark. Although he couldn't see the other party's expression, there was a faint tacit understanding.
The two stood up at the same time!
Xie Lingya closed the door at once, while Shi Changxuan took out a circular piece of paper from his bag, opened it and stuck it on the wall, "Paper moon gives light!"
As soon as he finished reading, a white light instantly emanated from the piece of paper in the originally dark room, illuminating the room with brilliance!
The piece of paper was like a distant full moon, and Xie Lingya was stunned. If it weren't for this juncture, he really wanted to ask if Shi Changxuan's house was saving electricity.
Of course, the more important thing is that four shadows suddenly appeared on the ground. Three of them belonged to Xie Lingya, Shi Changxuan and Cheng Jie. The remaining one was beside the bucket filled with pig blood, with a stooped figure, only about half of the shadows of ordinary people. There is only one leg.
Xie Lingya held his breath and did not move for a while.
The ghost of the one-legged five-way paused for a while, the sound of Xie Lingya closing the door and Shi Changxuan's spell had already disturbed it, it turned around and actually went around in a circle, trying to go around behind Shi Changxuan.
Is it retarded? Xie Lingya was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that the one-legged five-way connection might not know that they could see its shadow. The light was not light or natural light.
Shi Changxuan stared at the shadow on the ground calmly, his feet did not move, but his hand clenched the peach wood sword.
Xie Lingya also pretended not to know, blocking the way of the one-legged five-way.
At this time, because of the bright work just now, Cheng Jie, who didn't dare to open his eyes, also carefully opened his eyes a little, and when he saw that the room was like daytime, he thought the lights were turned on, and then he saw the ghost on the ground.
Cheng Jie was so scared that he was about to urinate, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with one hand to avoid shouting.
At this time, the shadow of the one-legged five-way arched its back, ready to go, and pounced forward—
Shi Changxuan flicked his wrist, and his backhand was a sword!
"Gah—" A scream of pain sounded a bit like a child, but much more shrill, and the ghost figure rolled, curled up, and quickly crawled to the side as if on all fours.
Cheng Jie was very flustered when he saw it coming towards him. Although he had a talisman in his hand, he quickly ducked back subconsciously.
Xie Lingya was beside him, and he wanted to stab him with a sword.
This is Cheng Jie, but it hit the table, and the wine opened during dinner fell on the table, and half of the bottle of wine inside was all dumped. He spread out his hand and saw that most of the folded Spirit Ancestor amulet was wet.
Xie Lingya had a sigh in his heart after seeing it, and had a bad premonition. He stabbed a sword above the ghost, but the one-legged five-way rolled and rushed towards Cheng Jie.
Cheng Jie yelled "Ah" and then got up.
When he stood up, he was hunched over, with a stooped body like a monkey, with his head half-slanted and looking at people from the corner of his eyes, he also made a weird "hee hee" laughter that made people's scalp tingle.
... No, the amulet was ineffective when it got wet, and the one-legged five links took the opportunity to attach to Cheng Jie. Xie Lingya hurriedly exchanged glances with Shi Changxuan, and seeing his calm expression, he was not particularly panicked.
Cheng Jie, who was possessed by the one-legged five-way, fit into Xie Lingya, and Xie Lingya was afraid of hurting Cheng Jie, so he didn't dare to stab someone with his sword. Can't push it off.
Xie Lingya was also on fire, no matter whether he was possessed or not, he punched him and slapped his left eye black!
But Cheng Jie didn't know the pain, so he hugged Xie Lingya's hand and wanted to bite him.
Not to mention, there are so many bacteria in people's mouths that they have to get an injection after taking a bite. Xie Lingya desperately resisted him, only feeling that his hands were fighting against two iron pincers. He wondered why Shi Changxuan had disappeared, and reluctantly looked sideways, and found that Shi Changxuan was burning the talisman.
"Hurry up!" Xie Lingya urged.
Cheng Jie's face was hideous, and the corners of his mouth were drooling. He felt that he might not be able to hold it any longer.
Shi Changxuan burned the talisman paper, converted it into talisman water, stepped forward, caught Cheng Jie's neck from behind, squeezed his chin with one hand and forced him to open his mouth, and then poured the talisman water from the Lingzu amulet into him.
Cheng Jie kept turning his head and struggling, but Shi Changxuan stuck his head, Xie Lingya took advantage of the situation and stuck his hand, and the talisman still entered his stomach, he suddenly coughed, howled loudly, his voice was hoarse and dry, as if being Like swallowing charcoal.
Xie Lingya took the opportunity to get out from under his hands, climbed to the side and took out a tightly wrapped knife from Shi Changxuan's bag, quickly untied it and threw it out: "Shi Daochang!"
Cheng Jie ate the water, and the one-legged five links came out of his body, one shadow turned into two, and he fainted.
Shi Changxuan lifted Cheng Jie away with one hand, and with the other hand raised his hand to accurately take the knife thrown by Xie Lingya, without stopping for a second, he took advantage of the situation and slashed down!
Xie Lingya stared at the ground, although there was nothing in the air, but from the shadow, the knife was slashing on the one-legged and five-passed Tianling cover, sinking deeply.
The ghost head of the one-legged five-way slowly separated to both sides, and then from the place where it first touched the knife, it gradually spread and blurred, and finally the entire shadow dissipated.
At this time, I looked at the knife again, and there was a smell of thick black blood on the blade.
…
Xie Lingya breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground and leaned back, only to feel that the place where Cheng Jie pinched just now was still in pain. When he saw several bruises on his body, his pale skin made him even more dazzling, and he looked a bit miserable. Look at it several times.
I didn't feel it when I was nervous just now, but now that it's over, the pain is obvious.
"It's so dangerous..." Xie Lingya murmured. They didn't expect such an accident, disrupting the rhythm. Fortunately, there was no danger.
The knife that killed the one-legged Wutong just now was a "hands-off" prepared by Shi Changxuan.
One-legged Wutong was originally worshipped by mandrill ghosts with a cultivation base, and what mandrills feared most was the mulberry knife.
The people who lived in the mountains used to hang the mulberry knife in front of the door and the mandrill did not dare to approach it. They were afraid that they would not get close when they first took it out, so they packed it up and put it away.
Shi Changxuan put on his shirt, took the paper-cut off the wall, turned on the light in the living room, and packed his utensils silently.
Xie Lingya was in so much pain that he didn't wear clothes for a while, so he woke Cheng Jie up first.
"Ah..." Cheng Jie cried out and opened his eyes. Seeing Xie Lingya, he quickly asked, "What's wrong with me? Where's the one-legged five-way?"
"It's already dead, you just let it be possessed." Xie Lingya pointed at himself, "Look at me!"
Cheng Jie felt ashamed for a while, and felt severe pain just after the expression on his face, covered his eyes and said, "It hurts." He took out his mobile phone as a mirror and looked at it, and there was a blue eye circle on his face, "Fuck..."
Xie Lingya and Cheng Jie looked at each other, hehe, well, let's not talk about anyone else!
…
Xie Lingya threw the stone statue with one foot and five links, along with blood and water, into the garbage heap.
Cheng Jie said, "Does Daochang Shi really want pork and mutton?"
He bought two pigs and two sheep, and he and his wife, even with their parents, couldn't eat them all at once. After removing the one-legged five-way link, the issues he considered were very realistic, how to deal with them.
"That's right, Daochang Shi, aren't you a Taoist priest Huoju? It's a big deal to put this meat in a restaurant and let them cook it for you." Xie Lingya took some meat unceremoniously.
Shi Changxuan said, "I'm looking for a room, and I will move out of Taiheguan soon."
Xie Lingya knew that it was quite troublesome and not suitable. It's only natural that Shi Changxuan can't live in school. If he usually does some Taoism, it's very inconvenient in the dormitory.
Xie Lingya thought for a bit more and said tentatively, "Shi Daochang, if you want to go to school conveniently, why don't you come to our Taoist temple to place an order directly. There is a subway station in front of our door, so you can get to the school without changing trains."
"School?" Cheng Jie was stunned, "Daozhang Shi, are you still in school?"
"I didn't tell you, he is still our alumni, a graduate student of religious studies after the school started." Xie Lingya said.
Cheng Jie suddenly became more enthusiastic, and directly said that if you have anything in the future, just look for him, "but it's more convenient for you to find Xie Lingya, haha. The location of Baoyangguan is really convenient. After you live there, you can easily go wherever you want to go, and everything is around. Yes. Yesterday I slept there for one night, and it was a bit old, but the rest is still very good, there is still a room anyway."
And because of the initial consideration of the layovers in the Taoist temple and the increase of Taoist priests, there are also independent toilets.
Shi Changxuan remained silent.
Xie Lingya said with a guilty conscience: "You don't need to do anything about placing an order. I just think that it is convenient for you to live there in all aspects, such as rest, cultivation, and classes. Of course, I really want to ask you some questions easily..."
Cheng Jie saw that Shi Changxuan was silent, and persuaded him, "Do you want to rent a new house? But the new house in that area is quite expensive, and the surrounding facilities are not very good!"
Xie Lingya reluctantly said, "Shi Daochang, if you are willing to go and have a look first, you also gave us a sum of money for Taoist Temple last time, and I will not charge you!"
…
Xie Lingya and Cheng Jie dug out all the advantages of Baoyang Temple. In the end, under their expectation, Shi Changxuan nodded slowly, "Okay."
