I saw Qin Bukong reaching out and touching the body of the bronze statue for a while, and then lightly tapping the body of the bronze statue a few times with his knuckles. Although the force was not strong, due to its hollow structure and the opening of the base, it still It makes a clanging sound accompanied by echoes, and the sound is relatively clear, like ringing a bell.
My leg was bleeding, but it was just a trauma, and I am not a person who is intolerant of pain, so after Songzi bandaged me, I tried to stand up and walk around, and found that I could bear it, so I He Songzi also walked to Qin Bukong, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Bukong said to us, you two should go to the opening of the base now and shine the flashlight on the Bagua mirror like yesterday, and then reflect the light into the body of the bronze statue. I was a little confused about the purpose of this move, but Qin Bukong was probably the only person we could count on now, so Songzi and I walked around to the base. The bronze statue had collapsed just now, and the desk and the wood underneath had been destroyed. The shelves were all crushed, so now we only need to squat down slightly to see everything inside the bronze statue at a glance. The stone box with the broken lid is less than a foot away from the opening of the base, but None of us dare to reach out for it, because we know that if we reach out, we will be caught immediately.
Maybe my time is tight. After all, the black veins in my hands are telling me that all this can't be delayed. If the solution is slow, it may be too late. And I don't know at this moment whether my injuries will be alleviated or recovered after solving this big ghost guarding the gate. If not, I'm afraid I will have to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Distraught, I fumbled and took out the Bagua Mirror, asked Song Zi to hold it for me, and pointed the mirror at the opening of the base of the bronze statue. The things Qin Bukong drew on my Bagua Mirror yesterday are still there at this moment. , which saves me the trouble of doing it again, so I turned on the flashlight, adjusted the angle, and projected the light through the reflection of the Bagua mirror into the body of the bronze statue.
Qin Bukong asked me, have you seen the black fog from yesterday? Did it dodge again? I said I saw it. A thin layer of black mist seemed to accumulate on the Arhat's abdomen. It didn't dodge, it just accumulated there. Qin Bukong said, you should pay attention. If anything is different from the current scene, you should look at it carefully and remember it clearly!
After saying that, he stretched out the palm of his left hand and spat on it. Then he wrote words like runes on the left hand with his right hand. Then he put his hands together and rubbed each other. It felt a little disgusting. I didn't have time to gag. At this time, Qin Bukong raised his hands, and then hit the bronze statue with both hands as if hitting the table.
As the sound of clang came, I saw the black smoke formed by the ghost, as if it was suddenly illuminated by the light of lightning. In just a moment, I clearly saw a skinny, big head. He has big eye sockets and protruding eyes but his whole body is white. He is squatting in the bronze statue with his hands and knees, facing us, without any expression, and his hands and feet are very, very thin. I don’t know how to describe this thinness. , very much like a child who has not eaten for a long time and has been in a malnourished environment for a long time. It is a kind of famine feeling, and at the same time, it is very much like a child who has died and whose body muscles have weakened. The moisture is lost and then dried to look like a mummy.
Although it was only the moment when the sound of Qin Bukong slapping the bronze statue came, this scene was clearly engraved in my eyes. This time I finally saw clearly that the person who had tortured me so miserably just now was actually a child, a skinny and sickly child.
I quickly recalled the description of "Phoenix" in my mind, saying that it is formed by the accumulation of disease and death energy after death, and has extremely rapid diffusion. Most people who encounter it cannot escape serious illness, and they all It's a disease. According to records in ancient documents, there are many infectious diseases, epidemics, and other events that may cause large-scale deaths in a short period of time in many places, and are often interpreted by metaphysicians as "monsters" at work. The three of us are practitioners. We know more ways to protect ourselves than ordinary people. I was the only one among the three of us who directly fought with this ghost from beginning to end. The pain I suffered , is also the most direct and serious.
Strangely enough, when I recalled these descriptions, I couldn't help coughing, but found that it made my chest hurt. I didn't know why my nose started to flow out of my nose, and it was the kind of bland nose. It is a typical symptom of acute attack by some bacteria. When I thought of this, in order to avoid infecting others, I wrapped a handkerchief around my face, and then told Qin Bukong what Songzi and I had just seen.
Qin Bukong nodded and said, it seems to be true, this guy will be affected by the sound of copper, otherwise he would not show his true form at that moment. I also nodded, and at this moment I also discovered that the sickly child who looked like a mummy was actually the original form of the "evil" here.
I also know that since ancient times, if copper is made into a magical weapon, it will be very harmful to ghosts. For example, when we perform salvation rituals for people, we always have to hit copper cymbals and cymbals. The purpose is to make a sound so that the dead souls who need to be transcended will follow, and the second is to scare the lonely ghosts around them not to come near. Li Jing, the king of towers in "The Legend of the Gods", is a powerful character holding a copper whip. Fa Hai in "The Legend of White Snake" also annihilated countless demons and monsters under his bronze bowl of Zen staff.
However, Qin Bukong just spat and slapped the bronze body, but it only made the other party reveal his original shape. Even so, it didn't seem to have much effect. Qin Bukong said that was not necessarily the case. First of all, the move he had just made was not too violent. He was just testing whether it was feasible. At present, it seems that since it is effective, if this power is doubled, it should be able to make it uncomfortable for a while. Songzi asked with some confusion, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" What will happen if you feel uncomfortable? Qin Bukong said, if you feel uncomfortable in one place, and then there is a hole in front of you, what will you do?
Songzi looked at the opening on the base and seemed to understand that Qin Bukong wanted to use this method to force the ghosts out. I thought about it in my mind and felt that it was still feasible, because I personally experienced how uncomfortable the sound of buzzing copperware was from all directions. I asked Qin Bukong, do you have any more powerful moves that you can use later? Qin Bukong shook his head and said, it's not me who fights, it's you who fight.
After saying that, Qin Bukong pointed at me, and I realized that he didn't just want us to beat the bronze body, but he wanted me to use the unique talisman my master taught me to defeat the enemy. During the confrontation, I was always in a state of being beaten, and it takes a relatively long time to cast the talisman. Indeed, it is indeed difficult to use it in actual combat if I am not prepared in advance. Now that the "sprite" is hiding in the body of the bronze statue and refusing to come out, it happens to give me enough preparation time. If I can combine the power of the talisman with the damage caused by the bronze tool itself to the ghosts, then even if it is a Even if you can't kill it within one move, you can definitely force it to escape, because if it doesn't escape, it will only die, which would be easier.
So I walked towards Qin Bukong and took out the talisman paper and my Luban Ruler as I walked. The guy just made me covered in wounds and I was in such a mess. I wanted to avenge him no matter what. I even secretly made up my mind that when I hit the talisman, I would use all my strength to hit it and kill this guy as quickly as possible in order to relieve the hatred in my heart.
But Qin Bukong waved his hand and said there was no rush. In order to ensure everything, we need to make more preparations. So as he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. I said to Qin Bukong, why are you taking off your clothes? Can your strong old mutton chops scare this ghost away? Qin Bubai glanced at me and ignored me. He just took off the white cloth underneath and threw it on the ground. After he put the coat back on, he unfolded his white clothes, cut his middle finger with a dagger, squeezed out some blood from the middle finger, and began to draw on the clothes.
This is a very complicated mantra, but compared to traditional Taoist mantras and Buddhist Sanskrit mantras, the difference can be noticed at a glance. Most of the Taoist curse words are obtained by combining and deforming Chinese characters, just like the content on the charm. Buddhism mostly comes from Sanskrit symbols and the pronouncement of Buddha's name, but Qin Bukong's mantras look more like paintings. Although there are some Chinese characters in them, most of them are in small seal fonts, and the content is Most of them are words for birds, beasts, insects, ants, etc., and when starting or ending a word, a few more strokes are always drawn according to the original meaning of the word, much like ancient hieroglyphs. For example, when Qin Bukong wrote the word "worm", he would draw several wavy extensions on the last point of "worm", as if it were really a bug. In a short period of time, Qin Bukong painted all the places on the vest, and all the curses were surrounded by a big circle. Qin Bukong drew seven small ones on the sealing place of the big circle. "×".
This painting method is too complicated. Even if I survive today, I don't want to learn this technique in the future. Otherwise, I will probably bleed to death before I finish painting. Qin Bukong put his bleeding middle finger in his mouth and sucked it. This action was extremely abnormal. Then he said to me, let's make this piece of clothing into a mesh bag shape and put it on the base.
I asked what this is for? Qin Bukong said, when you draw the talisman later, if this guy escapes, wrap him in his clothes and never get out.
