The master said that judging from the degree of white bones and the degree of oxidation of the silver cross, it must be quite old. Judging from what the elder sister in the church said, even the old people in the village had never seen a missionary in the church, and the church was built in the Qing Dynasty, which means that in the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republic of China, this place was There is no one left.
Counting back and forth, it must have been seventy or eighty years ago. There has been no war in this village, and people have lived here for generations. Why has this nun not come out to cause trouble in the past few decades, but why is she here now? I told Master, was it because when the construction team was blasting, the blast was so big that it shook the nun awake? After saying that, I quickly shut up because I realized that I had asked a stupid question.
The master shook his head and said that it can only be said that there is some connection between the explosion and the nuns coming out to cause trouble, but it cannot be said that there is a causal relationship. Do you still remember what the ghost told us when we were doing water magic next to the church? It would definitely confront us head-on?
I said remember. Master said, however, when we walked over just now, although this nun created some troubles and obstacles for us on the way, she never harmed us. She finally gave in. It was not a head-on confrontation, right? I'm right, it's not because you recited the exorcism spell for so long.
The master shook his head and said, "It's different. Ghosts with powerful energy can completely withstand this exorcism spell. Besides, Catholicism is a Western religion, so my spell may not really be able to do much harm to it." , so its concession may be because it knows our intentions and purpose, and thus deliberately allows us to continue.
Master took the silver cross from my hand and said to me, even if it was really afraid of us, it would never watch us dig up its bones and not take away ours. If it were you, you would do the same. Not enough.
When Master said this, I began to think it made sense. But I still didn’t understand what Master meant, so I asked Master to make it clearer. The master said hesitantly, "The following is my guess. This female ghost only scares people without harming them when it appears many times. So what is the purpose of its appearance?"
Is it to tell the villagers that this place is haunted and to quickly hire someone to clean it up? Even a ghost wouldn't be so stupid.
The master continued, so I think its appearance, even including scaring people in the woods, is actually conveying a certain message. It should know that its mischief at this moment will attract Taoist priests like me, and our arrival will inevitably We will investigate this area thoroughly, so that we can have a chance to find clues about the construction team blasting the church cellar, and then discover that there may be a ghost in that place.
Maybe the purpose of this nun is to ask us to deal with that ghost? This paragraph of the master's speech seems to be a bit soliloquy. He seems to be imagining a possibility in his mind, and then judging from the information he has already grasped, but he keeps asking himself some hypothetical questions and trying to use some logic. Come and overturn your guess. If you can't overturn it, then the remaining path will probably be the only direction of investigation.
So I reminded Master, isn't that simple? Let's deal with the nun's ghost first, and then go to the church to do a water spell. If the ghost over there is still there, its attitude should not be difficult to understand. If it is still there, it actually proves that If you have your idea, at least the direction will not be wrong.
The master frowned and nodded and said, this is the only way to go for now. According to my experience, this matter may not be that simple. But if I want to explain it all, I always feel that there is still a key step missing. As for what it is, my mind is a little confused now and I can't figure it out.
I thought about it and said to Master, you said that this nun was killed. Could it be that the murderer who killed her was the ghost in the church? Will the construction team's blasting release the ghost of the murderer? Because the cellar was sealed before, no one knew what was sealed.
After the ghost was released, the nun knew that he was going to continue to harm people, so she deliberately came out at this time to cause trouble, but she did not harm people, but she clearly let the villagers know that this place was haunted, so that everyone could go and invite him. With an expert like you, you can find a way to stop the ghost of the murderer, and by the way, let this nun go on her way!
In fact, in this long paragraph, only the first sentence is the result of my own thinking. Everything that follows is all taken for granted as I imitate Master's way of inferring things. But who knew that after I finished speaking, I found that Master looked at me with eyes full of surprise.
So I hurriedly told Master in a panic, "Master, please ignore me. These are just my guesses. Nine times out of ten they are inaccurate. You must not take them seriously." Master said, you are right. The appearance of these two ghosts at the same time means that they must be related. The nun was shot and killed. The person who killed her must have to atone for his sins. The person who was killed must also have resentment. This is A huge possibility for both of them to appear together.
I was a little proud to be suddenly praised by Master. However, Master did not comment on my subsequent guesses. Instead, he decided to follow my instructions and deal with the nun first, and then go to the church to find new clues.
I have seen Master's salvation rituals many times, but most of them contain information about the deceased's birthday, death, and other information. At least when Master performed the ritual, the body had not yet been buried and could be seen.
Now the master only has this silver cross and the pile of bones in the pit. It is still a bit disrespectful to move the bones, because the master has always emphasized that even if the other person is a ghost, it was caused by death, and the dead are the greatest. So basic respect must be there. This is why the master respectfully called the other person a god when he was doing the water method at the beginning, but in fact, he was just an out-and-out ghost.
Master and I didn't bring much with us when we went into the woods, so it was a bit impossible to achieve salvation here. So Master and I worked hard to backfill and compact the tomb. Before leaving, Master also sprinkled a lot of rice around the tomb. Rice is one of the necessary things for Master to do many rituals.
Then Master took me out of the woods quickly. On the way back, we didn't encounter anything strange at all, it was very smooth. Mr. Liu, probably because he was old, waited for us for a long time and saw that we could not come out. He thought something might have happened to us, so he hurried back to the village and called some villagers, planning to go into the woods to look for us, but there was no one. Dare to rush in first, so they kept hesitating at the edge of the woods. When they saw us coming out, the villagers cheered. On the one hand, because we were all safe and sound, on the other hand, they also knew that Master had a way to protect himself. It can also bring peace to the village.
Therefore, the Master performed the next salvation ritual in the presence of a group of villagers. The ritual was not too complicated, and the master was familiar with it, but after all, the deceased was the most important person, so it was inconvenient to announce some details.
It has been almost three hours since we entered the grove, and the sun will set soon. The nun's salvation ceremony went very smoothly. Master said that during this period, it did not resist at all, but was very obedient. It left, looking for its afterlife. This move further proved that the master's guess was correct. So Master took me back to the cellar entrance of the church and used the water round light technique in almost the same way as in the morning. Sure enough, at this moment, the ghost in the church still stayed in place.
The master said, it is indeed two ghosts. Brat, the one we saw in the bowl in the morning must be the real owner. I was also very happy, so I said to Master, yes, let’s clean it up! The master knocked me on the head and said, "Take care of him. You think you are Sun Wukong. Just take care of him. Just wait here for me. I will ask the gangsters to look for him and find out the reason why he stayed." where.
In the grove, my master had already opened my eyes by using Rambing. He used the movement of smoke to locate the burial place. This was obviously the most intuitive and accurate trick. So the master once again sent out the rampant soldiers, and he held the incense and began to search for it. But Master told me, don't follow me this time. This guy here should be more powerful than the nun in the grove, and I'm afraid he might be in danger.
I can be regarded as an obedient child. Since Master has said so, I will stand by the church and wait. Let Master do this kind of death.
Master followed the direction of the smoke, and soon he entered the prayer hall of the church. The elder sister had said before that it had been converted into a classroom. I was kicking stones on the ground boredly outside. About two or three minutes after Master entered, I heard a rumbling sound coming from the direction of Master. The sound was like many people dragging the table together. I started to worry a little, because if it was Master making this sound, it shouldn't be so loud. So I stuck my head into the door of the prayer hall and shouted, Master! Master!
Master didn't answer me. I was a little anxious, so I didn't care so much and ran in. This is a hall with several walls built in the middle to serve as separate classrooms. As I ran, I looked into the classrooms I was passing by. In the third classroom, I saw a lot of small desks that had been dragged and stacked together. I must have thought that the sound just now came from here. I took a closer look, I found the master lying on the ground, with everything above his knees buried under the pile of desks. He was still holding incense in his hand, but two of them had been broken.
I was already a little scared and shouted, Master! Master!
But Master didn't answer me.
