"Weird, what's so weird about it?" I asked curiously.
"Well, I've been feeling weird since I came back from a mountain." Director Wang said after thinking for a while.
"Mountain? What mountain? Tell me the details." I asked curiously. You know, due to the modernization of cities, there are very few monsters and demons in cities. Generally speaking, the ghosts and monsters encountered in cities are very powerful. Of course, let's not talk about this for now. Because of the modernization of cities, all the ghosts and monsters have gone to the countryside, and more have gone to the mountains. Therefore, many people often encounter some strange things in the mountains, such as ghost walls and the like.
Director Wang accompanied his wife to her parents' home last month. His wife's home is in a remote mountain far away from the city. Director Wang, a down-to-earth modern man, felt bored as soon as he went there. There were only a few channels on TV.
Finally, I was really bored, so I made an appointment with a local villager to go hunting in the mountains. Although hunting is prohibited by national regulations, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so who can control it? And basically every family in these mountain villages has a homemade hunting rifle, just for hunting in the mountains and having some meat.
Director Wang's luck was not very good. After going up the mountain with the villager, they did not catch any animals. On the contrary, the villager caught several rabbits. Just when Director Wang was feeling depressed, suddenly a fat rabbit jumped out in front of him.
The rabbit had pure white fur and red glasses, and looked extremely cute. However, Director Wang didn't care about whether it was cute or not. He just jumped with his shotgun in hand, scaring the rabbit so much that it ran into the bushes. Director Wang chased after it without thinking twice. The villager shouted at him not to chase because it was a villager who was familiar with the mountains, but it would be dangerous if Director Wang got lost.
Director Wang didn't pay attention, but he didn't expect that while he was running, he could still hear the voices of the villagers behind him at first, but gradually the voices became smaller and smaller, and in the end he could not hear them at all. Director Wang had lived in the city since he was a child, and after running for a while, he was tired and out of breath. Finally, when he came to his senses, he found that he was lost. Now there were big trees and weeds everywhere around him, but Director Wang was smart enough and walked back step by step along the same path.
But as he walked, he found that the temperature around him was slowly dropping. He looked up and found that the sun had already set. Director Wang became even more anxious. He walked everywhere. At first, he could still tell the directions, but later, he didn't know which was which. Finally, Director Wang was so hungry that he couldn't move. Director Wang felt a little scared. You know, in this deep mountain forest, if you die, no one can find you.
When I heard this, I asked, "Then how did you get out in the end? Did the villagers find you in the end?"
In fact, I already feel that Director Wang may have encountered a ghost wall. The so-called ghost wall is actually that one's eyes are covered by dirty things, and then one keeps going around in circles in one place. If one does not react, he will keep walking until he starves to death.
“No, I met a land statue, bowed to it, and then came out.” Director Wang finally said lightly.
"And then what happened? It just came out like that? What did that land look like?" I was curious when I heard it. Is there such a spiritual land now
"Yes, that's it. After I finished worshipping, I walked a few steps back and saw the mountain road. As for the land statue, it was a very strange stone statue with a human body, a snake neck, a monkey face, rat eyes, and a pig nose."
"Stop, are you sure it has a human body, snake neck, monkey face, rat eyes, and pig nose?" I interrupted Director Wang and asked.
Director Wang thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I felt it was quite strange at the time, so I looked at it a few more times. Is there something wrong with this thing?"
As soon as I heard this, I felt that the problem was serious, and said worriedly: "Can we worship things outside randomly? I will go back and confirm what this thing is. You wait for my news, you really are something." According to Director Wang's description, this so-called land statue is at best an obvious evil god or something.
When Director Wang heard what I said, he also felt that the problem was a bit serious and said, "Then you really need to help me. Recently, I felt that there was a breathing sound under my bed. I don’t know if it’s an illusion or something else."
I nodded calmly, turned around and walked out. If I was not mistaken, this thing should most likely be the Wutong God.
Some of the master's ghost notes have a brief record of Wutong Shen: "Wutong Shen", also known as "Wulang Shen", is a demon that roams the countryside and seduces women. Because he specializes in evil, he is also called "Wuchang Shen".
It is said that among the three hundred and sixty gods in heaven, one hundred animal gods are hidden among them. It means that among the so-called gods, many are animals, but the so-called five-way god is not a so-called god, but a demon that harms the human world. It is said that this creature has an unstable mind and would occasionally do good things for the local people in the past. It is said that as long as the five-way god visits, the family will have endless food, and the granary and bottles and jars will always be full. However, no one can describe the specific image of the five-way god. It is only said that snakes or other animals that rarely appear in the home are the incarnation of the five-way god, but there is a benefit and a disadvantage. Those who have received the grace of the five-way god often cannot have a good end.
When I went out, I saw Kaizi and Fatty Cao still waiting for me outside. I was so touched that I went up to them and gave them a hug. But Kaizi's next words made me want to kill them on the spot.
Kaizi hugged me and said loudly: "Brother, you have worked hard. It must be hard to sell your own body, but your behavior is great."
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and looked at Fatty Cao in confusion. Fatty Cao also came up and patted my shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. In order to prevent us from being asked to leave, he even looked towards the room after saying that."
I understood it at that time. He thought that Director Wang and I, that fat pig, had an affair and came to save them. But it doesn't matter. I will keep my integrity and I will not care about the opinions of ordinary people.
That's it. Of course, they were just joking. They asked me how I handled it in the end. I told them that it was nothing and I found a secluded corner and called my master to ask him specifically about the Wutong God. You know, even if we hadn't been caught for escaping from the dormitory, I would have helped if I had known about it. My master often taught me to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness and not to be blinded by interests.
Just as I was daydreaming, the phone rang.
"Hey, you finally took the trouble to call an old man like me." The master's old voice came from the other side of the phone.
My heart ached, and I said, "No, I've been very busy with my studies recently. Master, I ran into some trouble this time."
"Trouble, what trouble?" The master asked with concern.
I then told Director Wang how he encountered the so-called "land statue" and described what this thing looked like.
"Yes, this thing is indeed the Wutong God. This is a difficult problem." The master said on the other end of the phone.
This is difficult. What does this mean? Could it be that the master is afraid of a small five-power god? The master continued on the phone: "The five-power god is an invisible thing. Except for those who are born with Yin eyes, there is no way to see the true body of this thing in the Taoist secrets that I have come into contact with so far."
The master paused for a moment and continued, "Although it is impossible to see Wutong's true form, you can definitely see its vague outline by lowering your anger. But this is not enough, because it is a Yin spirit and its speed is completely superior to yours, so your spells are basically fictitious to it. If you want to destroy it, you must use the palm spell!"
Palm charm? What is that? Why haven't I heard of it? It seems that my master has never taught me, so I quickly asked my master what the palm charm is.
My master told me that the so-called "palm talisman" is a Taoist emergency talisman drawing technique. This technique is different from ordinary talisman drawing methods. As long as you have Tao in your heart and use blood as a guide, you can quickly draw the corresponding talisman in your palm to make it work. It is a relatively advanced talisman technique. The palm talisman has many functions. Although its power is not as great as that of ordinary talismans on paper, it is quick and effective to use. As long as it is touched by the palm with the palm talisman, the power of the talisman can be activated.
When I heard the master talk about this palm talisman, my mind unconsciously thought of the big bearded man in the classic Hong Kong movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Didn't Yan Chixia in the movie draw talismans on his palms? Thinking of Yan Chixia's classic cool line "The sun and the moon are boundless, the universe borrows the law!!", I swallowed unconsciously. It turns out that there really is such a talisman!
The master then told me how to draw the palm talisman. I was drooling as I listened to it. This is definitely a great tool to pick up girls.
Then I chatted with the master about some other things, but because I was worried about the situation on Director Wang's side, I hung up the phone with the master. Before hanging up, the master told me that if I really couldn't solve it, to call him and he would come over in person. But I couldn't bear to let the master, at his age, make a long trip, so I told him it was nothing and asked him to stay at home.
Then I went back to Director Wang's office and told him the news about Wutongshen. He was also shocked and asked me to find a way to save him. I thought about it and it seemed that I could only go to Director Wang's house tonight to check on him.
