I was still young at that time and didn’t understand what borrowing one’s life meant!
All I knew was that I had suffered a terrible disaster and might die.
That day, my adoptive father was busy all afternoon.
He first went to the vegetable market near the village and bought a big black-feathered rooster. Then I bought a lot of yellow paper and two pounds of glutinous rice.
When I got home, it was already night.
My adoptive father drew a circle in the middle of our yard. Let me take off my clothes and sit cross-legged in it.
I obeyed and my adoptive father squatted at the door with a kitchen knife to chop the chicken. I saw him taking a bowl of hot chicken blood. Then I grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and mixed it evenly.
Immediately, the adoptive father took out the yellow talisman and lit it. Then I took the yellow paper and turned it three times to the left and three times to the right on my forehead. He kept mumbling in his mouth.
"The thunder of the sky moves indiscriminately, the five gods move quickly, the traitor blocks the road, the fire helps to survive, the hurry is like the law!"
He recited the incantation and grabbed the glutinous rice mixed with chicken blood with his hands. Sprinkle handfuls on me.
At this time, my adoptive father warned me.
“No matter what happens in a while, you are not allowed to leave this circle.
After tonight, your life is saved. "
I nodded solemnly and sat in the circle honestly.
It was late at night in a blink of an eye, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
Suddenly, an evil wind blew from nowhere. The wind stirred a disgusting fishy smell.
This strong wind blew open the wooden door of our house, and two dark shadows slowly approached me.
Wait for those two black figures to come to me.
I looked vaguely, and there seemed to be two ghosts standing in front of me. They were covered in blood and flesh, one had the head of a cow and the other had the head of a horse.
It must be the ox-headed horse noodles from the underworld!
Niu Tou held heavy iron chains in his hands. In Ma Mian's arms, he held Bai Fan, who was going to the grave of the dead.
"Stone, your lifespan has expired, come with us..."
Ma faced me and said grimly.
My small body was so frightened that it became rigid.
However, I kept in mind my adoptive father's teachings and sat cross-legged in the circle and never went out.
Niutou shook the iron chain in his hand and instantly hooked the chain around my neck. Then it was like dragging cargo, and they had to drag me out of the circle.
At this moment, Shishan suddenly rushed out of the room.
He was wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe, holding a copper coin sword in his left hand and a copper bell in his right hand.
"Second Envoy of Seduction, don't hurt my son's life."
In an instant, the adoptive father was fighting with the bull-headed horse-faced man.
I saw a yellow figure fighting with two black shadows in the yard of my house.
At this moment, on the ground in my yard. White smoke began to rise upwards in bursts.
Streams of white smoke rolled out from the ground. I took a closer look and saw that there were thousands of spooky and terrifying ghosts emerging from the ground of my house.
Some of those fierce ghosts only have half a head, some have long tongues sticking out, and some have intestines protruding from their stomachs. What's more, even half of his body is flat. The flat ghost must have been crushed to death by something. His body was covered with red and white mucus, and his two blood-red eyes lay on his face, like two big cakes.
All these ghosts came to me. They are all here to catch me! Want me to die!
There was a hanged ghost with a long tongue sticking out, its dry bone claws stretched out, and it tightly grasped my ankle.
Immediately afterwards. There were a few more bloody dead ghosts who grabbed my hair, pulled my arms, and desperately dragged me out of the circle.
I just felt like I was falling apart. Although the body has not moved, the three souls and seven souls have been pulled out of the body by these ghosts.
I cried out in pain.
"dad!"
When my adoptive father heard my cry for help, he suddenly turned his head and his face darkened.
"That's too much!" Shi Shan said harshly.
Suddenly, the adoptive father started to take off his Taoist robe in front of everyone.
On a dark and cold night, my adoptive father stood shirtless in the cold wind, exposing his thin back.
And on his adoptive father's back, there is an extremely powerful purple dragon tattoo.
Living with my adoptive father for so many years. I don't even know, when did he have a tattoo on his back?
All I saw was that the purple dragon tattoo on my adoptive father's back emitted a ray of light that reached into the sky.
In an instant, the hundred and ten evil ghosts who held me hostage turned into powder in an instant.
The two seducers in the underworld were instantly frightened when they saw the tattoo on the adoptive father's back.
"You, are you the Xuanyuan Gua Master?"
The adoptive father shouted.
"Under the Xuanyuan Sect, the purple-robed Xuan Gua and the heavenly dragon protect the body. I am the 18th generation successor of the Xuanyuan Gua Master - Shi Shan."
I heard the words Xuanyuan Gua Master. The bull-headed horse-faced expression became uneasy.
After a long time, the bull-headed ghost said.
"Mr. Shi, the life of the stone has expired. This is also a routine matter for us!"
The adoptive father snapped.
"My son's life was calculated by a traitor, who used the evil method of borrowing life to forcibly borrow his life!"
Ma's expression was helpless and his tone was extremely respectful.
"Mr. Shi, we naturally cannot afford to offend Xuanyuan's lineage.
But the person who borrowed his life was also extraordinary. I am a ghost agent from the underworld, and I only act according to the book of life and death! It is you who are blocking us today. Your son's three souls and seven souls are no longer complete. If he is forced to stay in the world, he will be nothing more than a puppet-like living dead! "
My adoptive father stood in front of me with a sideways face.
"As long as I keep my son's body, I will naturally have a way to extend his life.
I hope the ghosts will be included and sell me thin noodles. Just go ahead! "
Perhaps it was due to the strength of his adoptive father. The seducer could only transform into two streams of black smoke. It disappeared under the ground of my house.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the fourth watch.
A rooster crows in the village.
I don’t know why, but when I heard the rooster crow, I instantly got a headache. He fell to the ground, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth.
My adoptive father hurried to my side. I watched Shishan helplessly and cut his right hand with a copper coin sword.
He pressed his blood-stained right hand on my forehead, and then I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was three days later.
The adoptive father was sitting by the kang with a pale face, as if he was seriously ill. Just three days later, a lot of white hair suddenly appeared on the adoptive father's head.
Later, my adoptive father and I took a shower, and I discovered that the purple dragon tattoo on my adoptive father's back had disappeared without a trace.
But the purple dragon, at some point, had transferred to my body, penetrated deep into my spine, and completely integrated with my body.
Later, my adoptive father told me.
I'm a living dead now!
