Zhao Fuyun looked at Zhu Puyi's fear and fidgeting.
He frowned slightly, thought of a possibility, and asked, "Do you dream at night?"
"Dreams? Not recently." After Zhu Puyi's answer, he suddenly stopped and said, "Do you think someone has cast a spell on me?"
He is also a practitioner. Although he has achieved nothing in practice, he also knows that the names of many spells are related to dreams.
"Have you had any dreams before, sir?" Zhao Fuyun asked through his words.
"When Zhuang Xiange died, I took a look, and that night I had a dream. I dreamed that I was standing at the door of his room, looking at the body on the bed, unable to move, and just kept looking at it. Zhu Puyi said nervously, with a hint of fear on his face.
At this time, he had changed his self-identification from 'Official' to 'I'.
"What happened next? Is there anything else?" Zhao Fuyun sat down, asked, and poured a cup of tea into the cup.
"The next day, I felt like there were bugs surrounding my body. Even when I was awake, I felt like there were bugs flying around me! I thought someone had cast a spell on me at the time, but it gradually became less severe. , I don’t feel anything now.”
"Jiaoyu, do you think I have been hit by a spell?" Zhu Puyi stopped, approached Zhao Fuyun and asked.
Zhao Fuyun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "It's normal to have thoughts every day and dreams at night, but I prefer to believe that you dreamed of being married on the first night."
"After that, you always felt like there were bugs flying around you. It was because something entered your body. Did you feel any discomfort?" Zhao Fuyun said.
"I don't feel any discomfort at all, but when I go to bed at night, I often wake up and feel like someone is watching me. But all this time, I felt that I had seen Zhuang Xiange's death, which gave me fear. That's why it is like this." Zhu Puyi said.
"How about two stools?" Zhao Fuyun said.
"Hey, does the teaching also understand the art of Qi Huang?" Zhu Puyi asked in surprise.
"I haven't studied it specifically, but cultivation is the maintenance of one's own body and mind, and some of the principles are similar."
"My defecation and defecation are fine, they are all normal," Zhu Puyi said.
"I probably understand." Zhao Fuyun said.
"What is it?" Zhu Puyi asked eagerly.
"The Gu God enters the dream and hides in the soul. The soul is hidden in the liver. The time when Qi and blood flow is between Zi and Chou. Because the liver and soul are different, adults will wake up at this time and be watched by others. And when you were hit by this method, you felt like there were flying insects surrounding you, which means that what is hidden is not a 'nightmare ghost', but a 'gu god'."
Zhu Puyi's eyes widened, while Zhao Fuyun looked at the other person's eyes, as if he was looking at his liver and soul through his eyes, and as if he was looking at the existence further behind, and said: "There is nothing strange in your eyes, sir." , Fortunately, the 'Gu God' has not laid eggs in the human body yet."
"Then, can you solve it?" Zhu Puyi was a little anxious.
"It's very troublesome. The person who casts the spell has a very strong ability to control the Gu God. I can try it." Zhao Fuyun said.
However, Zhu Puyi hesitated a little. He said: "I heard that if some things are not disturbed, they can live in peace. If they are disturbed, it will be like poking a honeycomb..."
"Yes, it is true." Zhao Fuyun said. He looked at the worry in Zhu Puyi's eyes, but did not say anything to comfort him.
"That……"
Zhu Puyi stood up, quickly shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and said, "Are you sure of the teaching?"
"I'm somewhat certain, but it's hard to say it's perfect." Zhao Fuyun lowered his head and drank tea.
Zhu Puyi turned around twice and said, "Jiaoyu thinks that if I go back to Fucheng, I can solve this method?"
"There are countless capable people in Fucheng. There should be someone who can solve this problem. Do you want to go back to Fucheng?" Zhao Fuyun asked.
Zhu Puyi really thought that he had applied for transfer long ago but was not approved unless he resigned.
He knew that if he ran back to Fucheng for treatment, he would definitely be reprimanded by the Lord.
He looked at Zhao Fuyun, who was drinking tea with his head down and calm and composed. He could be regarded as a man who had been in official circles for a long time. He immediately thought that he was a disciple of Tiandu Mountain, not an ordinary disciple of a small family, so he felt cruel and said: "The teaching is I’m afraid there aren’t many disciples from Tiandu Mountain who can compare with Zhao Jiaoyu in the entire Nanling Mansion, so why ask Zhao Jiaoyu to cast a spell for Zhu!”
"Your Majesty, I'm so impressed. Let me go to your bedroom to take a look first." After Zhao Fuyun said that, he entered Zhu Puyi's bedroom and walked around. He didn't find anything else strange, so he picked it up on his bed. A few hairs.
Zhu Puyi didn't notice.
"Then please have a good rest tonight, and I will come to help you out tomorrow!" After Zhao Fuyun came out, he saluted Zhu Puyi, then turned and went out.
Zhu Puyi could only see each other off at the back, and wanted to say something, but he didn't want to appear that he was too afraid of death, so he didn't ask any more questions. He only said when he arrived at the door: "Then Zhu will be waiting for Zhao Jiaoyu tomorrow." ”
Zhao Fuyun suddenly thought of what the big-eyed man said and asked, "Did Zhuang Xiange ever say that he would issue a decree to abolish the black temple in Wuze County?"
Zhu Puyi thought about it and said, "He did say that he would ban all black temples here in the future, but that was just a private talk and it is impossible to implement it now."
Zhao Fuyun nodded slightly and strode away.
…
In the city of Wuze County, in a dark room.
There is a table on the north side of the room. There is a large black urn on the table. There is a white ball in the urn, which is a cocoon. Inside is the silkworm Gu that he has raised for decades. The silkworm Gu was in the early stages of refining. Compared to other Gu, its combat power is almost negligible, but after it forms a cocoon, it becomes a top Gu.
At this level, they call it 'Gu God'.
On a flat bed in front of the urn, an old man sat cross-legged on it. His name was Ma Wutian, but everyone called him Ma Canshi.
He suddenly opened his eyes. Just now, he heard a conversation through the Gu consciousness hidden in the county magistrate's soul.
"Tomorrow, I want to see how you explain it. If you explain it, it will cost his life. Don't blame me then!" The old man hummed in Wuze dialect.
He was very confident in his silkworm Gu and couldn't help humming a local folk song from Wuze.
"An insect from far away gets lost in the foggy mountain forest, a little stinker from the city falls into the winding river..."
…
Since Zhao Fuyun came to Wuze County, he only started to drink some tea and dew, and no longer ate grains, because it was common to raise poison here, and he was afraid that he would be poisoned when he first ate grains outside, so he Eat the Bigu Pill to make the food bigger.
Just drink some rain and dew on weekdays, and eat the essence of heaven and earth to nourish your body.
He stood by the window, holding a cup of smoking tea, looking at the climbing vines in the courtyard outside, thinking in his heart.
When I was going down the mountain, the Taoist master said, don't do anything if you can't do it, just close the door and practice.
However, the mission document officially issued by the academy clearly stated: "Protect the life of the county magistrate, assist him in implementing the establishment of the Daozi Academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and educate the whole place."
If he goes back without doing anything, and allows the ghosts and monsters here to run rampant, and kills the county magistrate again, he will not only lose his own face, but also lose the face of Tiandu Mountain. He believes that if he returns like this, Once you reach the mountain, even if you build the foundation, you may not be able to enter the upper courtyard or become an inner disciple of Tiandu Mountain.
He thought of this and made a decision in his heart.
He wanted to take action as the county magistrate to test the attitude of the local people.
Close the doors and windows, turn around, and take out a cloth bag from the suitcase.
There are several things wrapped in different categories in the cloth bag.
He first took out a small cloth bag. Inside was a small wooden statue, which was carved from the heart of a lightning-struck jujube tree. The head of the statue was burnt black and smooth, extending from the neck to the chest, and the shoulders were It's red again, carved into robes.
Wood makes fire, it is struck by lightning, and there is a trace of the Yang Qi contained in it. It is perfect for carving the statue of the Red Flame God.
The Red Flame God Lord is used by ordinary people to control houses and ward off evil spirits.
But here with the monks, it can be used to set up formations.
A true monk who understands the Dharma should not be in head-to-head confrontation with others, but should know how to borrow the Dharma. How many can he fight one-on-one? Only those who know how to take advantage of situations and methods can defeat the dead and destroy the evil spirits.
The divine nature of the Red Flame Lord belongs to Yang and Fire, and it can overcome Yin evil.
He didn't think about waiting until tomorrow, but wanted to do it tonight.
In the eyes of serious Taoist monks like him, these Gu are still far from real 'gods', but they can already be called nightmare monsters. If they are good, they are also called spirits or spirits.
Although the Taoist masters in the Taoist Academy were disparaging when talking about Gu insects, in his opinion, this was something that a Taoist master could despise, but he was just a Xuanguang monk and had not yet established the Taoist foundation, so he could never take it lightly.
If you want to help County Magistrate Zhu get rid of the 'gu god' in your liver and soul, you have to enter the dream. This still belongs to the category of wedding dreams.
His own soul is not very powerful and may not be able to defeat the 'Gu God' hidden in the county magistrate's liver soul, so he needs to rely on the power of the 'Red Flame Divine Lord'.
Set up a small incense burner for Lord Red Flame and offer incense religiously.
Then he took out the cinnabar and yellow talisman paper, and sincerely drew a fire talisman, which was the name of the Red Flame Divine Lord on a scroll. This was not a simple fire talisman, but a red flame divine talisman. When he finished drawing, he looked under the light. Exuding red brilliance.
He folded it into a hexagonal shape and held it in the palm of his left hand, and then held a few hairs picked up from Magistrate Zhu in his other hand.
He sat there cross-legged, and next to him was the wooden statue of the Red Flame God that he worshiped day and night. This could protect his body from any dirty things getting in when his soul left the body.
He closed his eyes and reconciled his body and mind. He was not in a hurry, but was waiting for Magistrate Zhu to fall asleep.
Finally, he felt that it was almost time and Magistrate Zhu had fallen asleep.
The heart hides the spirit, the liver hides the soul, and the spirit and soul travel together. When they are at a high level, they can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and they can also sneak into other people's dreams.
Of course, his spell of dreaming has been mastered after a long period of practice. Many spells are a skill that makes perfect with practice, just like a spider hanging on a lonely thread to cross the other side. It requires extremely fine control of the soul and not losing its way.
He felt the breath of the hair on his hand, and following the faint feeling, his spirit seemed to pass through a void of illusion, and the scene in his eyes changed.
He appeared outside a temple.
Seeing this temple, he immediately knew where it was.
This was the temple outside the city, but he soon woke up and realized that he had fallen into Zhu Puyi's dream.
When dreaming, the first difficulty is to enter other people's dreams, and the second difficulty is to wake up in other people's dreams.
As long as those who have not yet practiced cultivation will have dreams when they fall asleep, it is just that many people do not remember them when they wake up.
In order to practice dreaming, Zhao Fuyun lived in the lower city of the capital for half a year before he could successfully enter other people's dreams, and then it took him another month to wake up quickly from his dreams.
Looking at the gloomy and obscure Chijun Temple, Zhao Fuyun felt a little more wary. Perhaps the death of Zhuang Xiange shocked Zhu Puyi too much, so in his heart, this temple was already a Ominous place.
So it became like this deep in his heart, fear turned into a dream, and the 'Gu God' was hiding here, probably not only to monitor Zhu Puyi, but also to keep the 'Gu God' in this nightmare. grow in.
He was thinking about how to break the dream, but he had already arrived in front of the temple gate and slipped through the crack in the door with his body on one side.
The first thing that caught my eye was the statue of the god in the temple.
In reality, it was a brand new statue, but here it was mottled, as if it had been severely eroded by something. Not only did the statue not have the scorching sun charm of Chijun that suppressed all evil spirits, but it had a gloomy look. a feeling of.
It's like this is a statue of an evil god.
But after Zhao Fuyun saw this statue, he immediately had an idea.
The presence of the statue means that Zhu Puyi still has the status of 'Chijun' deep in his heart. It's just that in reality, the statue of Chijun in the temple failed to protect Zhuang Xiange, so the statue of 'Chijun' There was also dust in his heart.
He figured this out, thought about it, and then knew what to do.
When he was practicing on the mountain, he tried to make his spells as broad as possible.
So he also learned spells such as "asking gods," consecration, "secret blessings," "prayer," and "blessings."
He stood in front of the statue, raised his left hand high between his eyebrows, and then began to recite the "Red Flame Sutra" to invite the god to sleep.
His voice slowly turned from subtle to loud. A ball of red light came out from the palm of his hand. It was the red flame talisman he held in his hand before falling into a dream, because the talisman had red written on it. The name of Lord Flame God is exactly the medium used to communicate with the 'Red Flame Lord'.
He felt the flames in his palms getting stronger and stronger, like a piece of charcoal fire held in his hands, and its light came out through the gaps between his fingers, dispelling the darkness and evil in the temple.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and then his eyes saw many black-headed bugs flying in from the door on the side of the statue. The black eyes on each black-headed bug were like It's weird, as if it can frighten people's soul.
