When the night was still dark, You Qiuniang walked across two streets to her brother's house, where her brother was carving a little ghost statue.
Many imps are kept in Wuze County, and they are kept in the darkest places in their homes. They usually hire people to carve wooden or stone statues, or to burn and paint pottery figurines.
She told her brother that Zhao Fuyun wanted to carve a statue of Chijun. Her brother only thought about it for a while and then agreed.
You Qiuniang was still a little surprised. He said: "Master said that those of us who make little ghost statues must wear amulets. Otherwise, over time, we will be entangled by little ghosts, and we cannot raise little ghosts to protect ourselves. When the little ghosts find out that all the carved little ghost statues are given to others, they will become angry and rebellious, so they cannot raise them themselves."
As for raising voodoo to protect himself, his master did not recommend it very much. Gu bugs are ferocious and they need to be raised with caution. His master told him that he must obtain an amulet.
Moreover, in the past few days, he had a feeling of heaviness in his body, and he was already wondering if he was entangled in something. He was already preparing to go to the Youshi Ancestral Hall tomorrow to ask the clan elders to cast spells to exorcise evil spirits.
After he told this to his sister, his sister You Qiuniang asked him to go to the teaching tonight to avoid being late tomorrow and someone else getting there first.
So, he went home and took a carving knife and stuck it in his waist. He sent his sister home first, and then went to Zhao Fuyun.
There are very few people living in the county who don't know where Zhao Fuyun lives.
The sky was already getting dark, and every house had already turned on the lights. He saw that the lights in Master Jiaoyu's house were particularly bright. He didn't know why, but he felt at ease when he saw the lights in Master Jiaoyu's house.
Unlike other people's houses, even if he grew up in Wuze County, he would have a creepy feeling when he saw the darkness in other people's houses where the lights couldn't shine.
Wuze County has very strict rules when it comes to visiting people from above. They usually shout outside the door, and rarely take the initiative to knock on the door.
So he didn't knock on the door, but shouted "Edict" directly at the door. He thought that he might not answer the call for a while, after all, he didn't shout very loudly, but a gentle voice immediately came from inside.
"Please come in!"
When he heard these two words, he felt a sense of freshness. In Wuze County, few people said the word "please".
He opened the door carefully, and what he saw was a small but tidy courtyard that was not spacious, and there was no blood on the ground as he had imagined.
Then I saw clearly a person sitting on a deck chair in the middle of the small courtyard.
This person is looking at the stars, not interrupted by his own arrival.
What made him feel miraculous was that the fire in the room only shone brightly on the steps, but it seemed to be stretched by invisible power, pulled to his side, forming a candle-like light rhyme, surrounding him. Circulation around the body.
It looked vaguely like a flame creature, helping him catch mosquitoes that wanted to invade its owner.
"Little You Dongshi, pay my respects to the Master." You Dongshi was about to kneel down before he finished speaking, but only halfway, bright light came into his eyes, and he felt that he was kneeling on a ball of air. On the bed, he looked down and saw a faint red light under his knees.
This strong force lifted him up and he had to stand up.
When he looked up again, he saw that the person lying on the chair had sat up.
For the first time he saw the Hierophant in person.
In the past few days, everyone has been secretly discussing the teachings. Although many people have seen it, most people have never seen it.
At this time, he finally knew that the sentence "Master Jiayu doesn't look like a murderer at all".
Not only did he not look fierce, he felt that Master Jiaoyu's face looked extremely gentle, with a sense of harmlessness. He even felt that Mr. Jiaoyu's face was somewhat feminine.
"How could such a person be a murderer?" Such thoughts flashed through You Dongshi's mind.
"Your name is You Dongshi? Who are you, You Lingpo and You Shiva?" Zhao Fuyun asked curiously. He just wanted to know if people with the same surname in Wuze County are all related. of.
"Lingpo and Shiva are both elders of the You clan, but Lingpo and Shiva have had a quarrel since childhood, so Shiva has been living in the reeds beside the Fog River outside the city."
Zhao Fuyun just asked, and he made it clear about the relationship between Yu Lingpo and You Shiva.
"Do you know how to carve stone?" Zhao Fuyun asked again.
"Yes, I have been learning the art of stone carving from my master since I was a child. I just started teaching this year." You Dongshi said with some anxiety. He didn't want to say this at first because he had just started teaching and was afraid that the other party would not want him.
"Hmm! It doesn't matter. Come to the Chijun Temple on the hillside by the river tomorrow morning. Do you know each other?" Zhao Fuyun asked.
"Yeah, I know you! Then, little one, go directly there tomorrow..." You Dongshi turned around after saying this, but hesitated again and asked: "Master Jiayu, little one, I heard that you can Are you giving me a Chijun amulet as a gift? Little one, me, little one, that..."
He looked into Zhao Fuyun's eyes and stuttered after speaking, but could not say what he wanted to say.
"Everyone will be given a Chijun talisman as a gift. However, you are now entangled in the evil spirit. Go in and pay homage to Chijun!" Zhao Fuyun said.
You Dongshi was stunned. This was the first time for him to worship a god other than Wuze, but he had no particular resistance because his master had said that everyone in the Great Zhou Kingdom worshiped Chijun.
So, he walked towards the house and saw a red date wood statue in the middle of a cluster of lamps. The statue was placed much higher than the lamps, and the light of the lamp seemed to be shining on it. They gathered on the statue, making it seem like the statue was sitting in a blaze of flames.
He felt a warmth. He didn't know if it was because of the many lights in the room or something. He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then sincerely knelt down on the ground and bowed three times. .
While praying, he felt like there was a flame burning in the back of his head.
After praying, I walked out and felt the night wind blowing, but I didn't feel the slightest bit cold. The heaviness I felt on my body disappeared.
Only then did he understand that Master Jiayu had seen the unhappiness in him, so he quickly saluted again and said, "Thank you, Master Jiayu, for exorcising evil spirits for me."
"Chijun's nature is blazing yang, and yin and evil cannot be tolerated in the same room. When you enter the room, sincerely respect Chijun, and Chijun will protect you. You don't have to thank me." Zhao Fuyun said.
But You Dongshi only felt that the teachings must have helped him, because in his understanding, those ghosts and gods were controlled by humans.
However, what Zhao Fuyun said was indeed correct. Where Chi Jun was, it was difficult to tolerate evil spirits. He sincerely paid homage to the statue of Chi Jun in the house and relaxed his mind, which was equivalent to a shallow meditation. Chi Jun, so the evil spirits in his body were driven away by Chi Jun's divine power.
You Dongshi went back, and Zhao Fuyun was lying there with a red mysterious light flying around him like a dark red butterfly.
He uses the mysterious light to absorb the yin dew and reconcile the yin and yang. When his mysterious light is no longer so dark red, the balance of yin and yang is restored. This process also involves some understanding and growth.
However, in the future, when the calamity fire true evil is combined with the mysterious light and formed into a talisman, another way of practice will be formed.
You Dongshi got up early the next morning, and after breakfast, he immediately came to the Chijun Temple outside the city, and then he found that his master Tong Anping was also here.
Surprised in his heart, he hurried forward to see the gift.
His master was not surprised when he saw him and said: "I expected you to come. If you don't come, then you didn't listen to my words. You need a Chijun amulet to protect yourself. Wait. Let me, my master and my apprentice, help Master Jiao Yu carve Chi Jun in a majestic way, so that Jiao Yu can also see our craftsmanship."
The Tong Anping family inherited the stone carving skills, but by his generation, the descendants have withered away. There is a saying that too many ghost statues were carved, which prevented the ghosts from being reincarnated, so they were hated by the ghosts, making the Tong family slowly become extinct. .
In his generation, he actually only has one daughter, and all the other boys died in infancy. Others advised him to raise the dead children as ghosts, but he refused. Some people wanted to buy his children's bodies to raise ghosts, and he even turned them into ghosts. The other party cursed.
When he came here this time, he also had some thoughts deep in his heart. That night, he saw from a distance the firelight coming out of the house in the courtyard of the teaching. The divine power burned his eyes at the time, but afterwards, he felt a sense of comfort. a feeling of.
Deep down in his heart, he was actually wondering if he had been cursed, and wanted to use Chijun's divine flame to baptize himself.
After You Dongshi heard his master's words, he relaxed a little and had to say yes again and again. In the end, he didn't have much confidence in whether he could carve such a large stone statue. Now he has With the master here, I naturally feel more at ease.
"Is Master Jiayu here?" You Dongshi asked.
"That!" Tong Anping pointed in the direction with his mouth, and saw a cluster of shrubs under the trees in front of the Chijun Temple, on the edge of the hillside. There was a person standing there, looking at the Wu River.
Zhao Fuyun looked at the foggy river. At this time, the foggy river was still shrouded in thick fog in the sunshine.
And in the fog, there was a boat floating there.
He also saw that many fishermen on the shore had not entered the water, but had tied their boats to the shore.
Apparently, they also spotted the weird boat in the river.
And Zhao Fuyun's eyes saw a woman sitting in the cabin on that boat, looking at the people on the shore.
The resentful souls in the water will turn into ghosts, also known as ghosts. Some ghosts combine with creatures in the water and mutate into monsters.
The things on the boat seem to be waiting for the people on the bank to go down the river. However, the people on the bank fish on the river all year round, and they also raise imps and poisons to protect themselves. They can also feel the evil intention on the boat. How dare they Get off the boat.
Zhao Fuyun looked at it for a while, stopped looking, turned around and returned to the Chijun Temple, and took the pair of masters and disciples to the statue.
He told the master and disciple his request, saying emphatically that he needed one of the hands on the statue of Chi Jun to be placed between the waist and chest to be able to hold up a lamp.
After Tong Anping thought for a while, he said: "Master, if that's the case, this statue may not be easy to transform. The material of this stone statue is not suitable for carving delicate things, and it is not suitable for transformation either." Yes, I am willing to select the stone for Master Jiaoyu and carve it again to ensure that it meets the needs of Master Jiaoyu."
Zhao Fuyun thought for a while and agreed. Since they said it was not suitable, he would make a new one.
So, the master and the disciple measured the height in the temple, and he himself returned to his residence and began to practice.
First, we knit the mysterious light and condense the magic, like weaving a rope, one at a time, from loose to condensed and strong. Slowly, the knitted mana will have a feeling that it will no longer fall apart. That is a small success. This At this time, the invisible magic power will emit mysterious light in the darkness.
Among them, one of the signs of Xuanguang Dacheng is that when it is swung, it makes a sound like a whip, crackling like thunder.
What Zhao Fuyun is practicing now is the Eighteen Yin and Yang Pans, which are two thoughts, one positive and one negative, twisting each other's magic power, just like twisting clothes, twisting them from different angles. Only by practicing this more can you twist your magic power. My own mysterious light is transparent, so there won't be any blind spots that my own mysterious light cannot take care of.
This is just like the martial arts routines practiced by those who practice martial arts. When practicing many of the routines, they feel that they are useless at all, and they will wonder why others want to hit you according to the route that your routine can resist.
However, the advantage of routines is that no matter how the opponent changes his attack route, a routine can trap the opponent and may make you more agile.
After you have mastered the Eighteen Yin and Yang Pans, you can practice a skill - Da Luo Sleeve Waving.
