Crisis resolved.
The dream finally woke up.
After waking up, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I pressed the phone to tell the time and it was already the next morning.
Ma Yi was about to give his grandma acupuncture, while Ouyang Wei was watching and describing the scene to me.
Ma Yi took out a small red cloth bag from his tunic and opened it carefully. Inside was a dense collection of embroidery needles, with a faint feminine scent.
Ma Yi turned his orchid finger, his whole aura became more feminine, and he said to his grandma in a soft voice:
"Old sister, lie down, my soul-fixing needle is a little painful!"
My grandma looked at him blankly and suddenly spat on Ma Yi's face.
Ma Yi was neither angry nor wiping his face. He crossed his hands and quickly injected nine needles on the top of grandma's head.
Then, nine more stitches.
In just a short while, he injected a total of 81 needles before stopping. Ma Yi recognized the acupuncture points extremely accurately, and his technique was as fast as lightning. It was so unpredictable that people had to admire him.
"Dongfang Bubai?" Ouyang Wei asked in surprise.
Ma Yi wiped his face with paper, put his right thumb on his chin, and recited a detailed mantra in his mouth. He saw the 81 embroidery needles on the top of her grandma's head emitting faint green smoke.
With the scent of orchid.
For a moment, my grandma's house was like a Buddhist temple filled with incense, and I even faintly heard the sound of monks chanting sutras.
After doing this, Ma Yi turned pale from exhaustion. He stood up and said to us: "I tried my best. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will."
Grandma closed her eyes tightly and lay there motionless. I stayed with her all the time.
It wasn't until noon that grandma finally woke up.
"Sanpo?"
After waking up, grandma was very weak. She held my hand and looked at Ouyang Wei, then at Ma Yi:
"Master Ma, thank you very much." She nodded to Ma Yi.
"Grandma, how do you feel now?" I asked hurriedly.
"Much better." Grandma raised her hand: "You go out first, I will say a few words to Sanpo."
Ma Yi took the needle for his grandma and went out with Ouyang Wei.
I closed the door, and grandma told me that it turned out that she was not crazy at all before, but that something went wrong in the old immortal's practice, which affected her.
My grandma is the female younger brother of Ma, who worships the Snake Immortal. She has shed her skin seven times and is a very profound person.
After grandpa died, the old fairy told grandma that he saw the snake catchers in western Hunan and was ready to come to the northeast to seek revenge on him.
In this situation, you definitely can't escape by hiding. Of course, ordinary snake catchers are not looked down upon by the old immortal, but there is one special person in the group who has actually developed the "snake look". This kind of The situation is very difficult for the old immortal to deal with.
As a last resort, the old immortal decided to take a desperate risk and turn into a dragon in seclusion!
However, a snake needs to shed its skin nine times before it is qualified to turn into a dragon. The old immortal was still a little short of the realm. In the end, the snake failed to turn into a dragon and died.
I asked grandma, what is the snake sign?
"We'll talk about this later." Grandma's cloudy eyes looked me up and down: "Sanpo, during the days when I was crazy, my soul was often not with me, and I didn't care about you."
"Let me ask you, have you ever had any strange dreams?"
When it came to dreams, I quickly told my grandma all my experiences in the underworld.
After hearing this, grandma grinned: "Ying Jie, it's finally here."
"Are you afraid?"
I said: "I'm afraid of returning, but it's still quite new. At least down there, I'm not blind."
Grandma praised me and said, "That's the only good thing about you kid. You never panic about big things."
"You have a temperament like mine."
I was anxious and had a big mystery in my mind, waiting for grandma to answer it.
Grandma took a sip of tea, pursed her lips and said, "Back then, your grandfather did know a man named Ouyang Jie. He was a very powerful man, and his moral conduct was far above ours."
"Your grandpa was worried after you lost your sight. You are only 26 years old, such a young guy. If you go blind, what will you do alone in the future when the old man and I are gone?"
"So your grandfather found Ouyang Jie and promised him a big benefit. He asked Ouyang Jie to take him to the underworld to get something to treat your eyes."
My eyelids twitched: "Dark Physiology?"
Grandma nodded: "Actually, this dream you had is part of what your grandfather experienced in the underworld."
Grandma sipped the tea and continued: "That day, after the old man came back, I asked him, and what he said was exactly the same as what you dreamed about."
I lit a cigarette for my grandma and one for myself: "So, what exactly is this black physiognomy?"
Grandma sat cross-legged on the kang, puffing on a cigarette: "It's a technique from another world. This technique is weird and all-encompassing. There are more than a hundred kinds of methods recorded in it, including the method of opening the celestial eye."
"Just take out any one and it will make you open your eyes again!"
After hearing this, I was surprised and confused: "But the day my grandpa came back, he only gave me an empty cardboard box with nothing in it!"
"Did Grandpa make a mistake?"
Grandma smiled sinisterly: "How sinister are your grandfather's methods? How could he miss?"
"The art of black physiognomy has actually been in your body for a long time!"
"If you want to wake it up and turn it on, you must go through the tribulation!"
I learned from my grandma that this black physiognomy is originally an object from the underworld. Even if it is brought back to the human world, it cannot be seen or touched.
The day my grandpa came back, when I was rummaging around in the cardboard box, black physiognomy had quietly entered my body.
The process of my dreaming is called Ying Jie. It is something that everyone who wants to learn underworld magic must go through.
Only after passing the tribulation can the black phase technique in the body be opened.
Grandma said to me: "When you finish this dream and go through your grandfather's experience down there, you will have accepted the disaster."
"The dark arts sleeping in your heart will also open up."
My palms were covered with cold sweat. I glanced outside the door and made a guess in my mind:
"Is that Ouyang Jie related to Ouyang Wei?"
Grandma listened without comment: "You have to ask her about this. This little girl is not an ordinary person. The yin energy in her body is heavier than that of a ghost!"
My heart skipped a beat when I heard it.
Grandma sighed: "In short, whether it's a person or a ghost, the eyes can't lie."
"At least, that girl's eyes are very clear, and she probably doesn't have any bad intentions towards you."
"Is it that Ma Yi?"
Grandma's tone suddenly darkened: "I just took a closer look at this person."
"This man's moral character is not low, and there is a strong aura of death in his eyes!"
I told my grandma how I got to know Ma Yi and how he cooperated with me. After hearing this, grandma sneered:
"This person's eyes are not clean, and there must be something evil in his heart."
I whispered: "Grandma, I know, I will pay more attention."
Grandma licked the cigarette butt out with her tongue and said in a hoarse voice: "We'll talk about the rest when we get back!"
"Now, go back to the underworld and suffer your fate!"
