In addition, I also placed a bowl of water on the floor of the main room one meter from the door of the house. There is a pair of scissors on the mouth of the bowl!
This is called "clear water scissoring ghosts" - as long as a little bit of "pot soot" contaminated on the ghost falls into the bowl of clear water, the gold and iron energy carried by the scissors will immediately hurt the ghost.
Even if you can't kill it, you can still weaken the enemy as much as possible before the real battle.
After making all these defensive preparations, I started to draw the talisman again...
In order to be able to calm down and not be disturbed, I plan to go to the room on the second floor to paint alone.
When Xia Sanjin and Xia Degui heard this, they became a little scared again.
After all, the sun is about to set now.
I finally explained it and said that the evil ghost would definitely not come before eight o'clock in the evening, so that they could rest assured.
After I drew seven or eight of the more useful talismans that I could draw, I went downstairs and returned to the main room.
They both stood up from their stools with relief, sweat forming on their foreheads.
I felt angry and funny at the same time - this was too cowardly, right?
At this time, look at the clock hanging on the wall.
It's already half past seven in the evening.
"Brother Wu, I think it's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll go home first. My wife and my parents are still waiting for me to go back."
Walk? go home?
I frowned and said with some confusion.
"Secretary Xia, are you going back?"
Xia Sanjin was also confused.
"What! Am I going to stay here?"
We were both stunned for a moment.
I said with a wry smile.
"Xia Party Secretary, you didn't mention this before, so I assumed by default that you would stay and help. Now, all the defensive measures have been taken. During this period, no one can leave the courtyard."
"Ah this! This..."
Xia Sanjin's eyes almost popped out.
Seeing him like this, I probably understand.
It is true that he is a more responsible village party secretary, and he also took the initiative to help Xia Degui find an "expert mage" to solve the haunting problem. But after all, he is still an ordinary person who is afraid of supernatural things...
He probably thinks that since I, the "master", is here, then the "victim" of the Xia Degui family can accompany him, and he, as the branch secretary, doesn't have to face the ghost directly, right?
I shrugged and spread my hands.
"Xia Party Secretary, everything has been arranged now. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
"Oh, I, I know..."
The smile on Xia Sanjin's face was uglier than crying.
Xia Degui patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"Don't be afraid, Party Secretary. With Brother Wu here, there will definitely be no problem. Even if there is danger, I will definitely rush in front of you. After all, the evil spirit is my daughter's body, and my family also has a big responsibility..."
"I'm not afraid! I'm afraid of nothing."
Xia Sanjin knocked off Xia Degui's hand and said viciously: "What a fool. When I was young, I was very brave and fierce from all over the country. I am afraid of a hammer. When a ghost comes, I will kill it. There is a sickle in the house." , thick wooden sticks, all ready."
Probably because he said a few harsh words, Xia Sanjin calmed down.
So, the three of us chatted and drank tea in the main room while waiting for the ghost to come.
Time passes slowly...
The surroundings are getting quieter and quieter, and the faint sounds of villagers chatting and noisy in the village have disappeared.
In the mountains and fields, the chirping of insects and birds sounded at night.
I can clearly feel the decline of yang energy and the growth of yin energy between heaven and earth.
This feeling is very mysterious.
Ordinary people cannot detect it, but after embarking on the path of spiritual practice and cultivating "qi" in the body, they will be very sensitive to changes in the natural world.
Night and day are actually a process of transformation between yin and yang.
The Yang Qi and Yin Qi between heaven and earth will naturally wax and wane with time throughout the day.
Zishi is the period of time when the Yin Qi is the heaviest!
This is also why in many folk horror stories, most demons and monsters choose to come out to harm people when they are young, which makes sense.
Because during this time period, they are relatively stronger.
Gululu, Gululu!
An iron pot nearby made the sound of boiling water.
This is the small stove I prepared slowly burning the iron pot, with mugwort cooking in it.
This is also one of my preparations!
Put the dried mugwort into clean water and cook slowly over low heat for two hours. Then apply the boiled mugwort juice on the human body to make ghosts invisible for a certain period of time.
Generally speaking, it is the ghost that has the ability not to be seen by living people.
But after applying mugwort juice, the opposite happened!
It's ghosts who can't see people.
After all three people were evenly smeared with mugwort juice, I looked up at the clock on the wall.
Just at this moment, the hour hand reached the number 11!
call……
I took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
"Eleven o'clock at night, midnight is here. Within two hours from now, the evil ghost may appear at any time. Let's all cheer up."
Upon hearing this, the two people who were a little drowsy suddenly trembled and woke up completely.
They all grabbed the "weapons" prepared nearby - Xia Sanjin grabbed the sickle, and Xia Degui grabbed the thick wooden stick.
"Secretary Xia, a sickle should be useless against things. You should learn from Uncle Degui and get a thick wooden stick."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Xia Sanjin agreed, put down the sickle, and snatched the wooden stick from Xia Degui's hand.
Xia Degui: "...Sun!"
He had no choice but to go to the place where firewood was stored in the stove next to him and take out another one.
I glanced at these two timid-looking guys and couldn't help but laugh or cry.
Obviously they are both adults and have a high status in society. And I'm just a junior high school student.
How come it seems like I have become the mature backbone, while they are like timid children?
In fact, I still have something left to say: If I were there and I applied mugwort juice to make the ghost invisible, you two would need to face it directly. That would be a big problem!
Of course, having said this, I would probably scare them both again.
"It's pretty good. I feel safe holding a big stick."
I thought about it and turned my head.
He looked through the open door of the main room to the still closed courtyard door.
The red rope with the stone tied underneath hung straight behind the courtyard gate. In the night wind, it swayed slightly...
"That vicious ghost should be coming soon, right?"
The night wind became stronger.
It blew through the bamboo forest, grass, and trees outside the village, making bursts of strange whining sounds.
Some vegetable growing supports in the yard outside were also shaken and made a "crunching" sound.
The red rope swayed more and more, as if there was an invisible hand pushing it.
At this time, I felt a little nervous.
To be honest, although my cultivation level has greatly increased during this period, my combat effectiveness has soared. I thought I would have no problem dealing with that fierce ghost.
But when I was really about to see it, I was still a little scared.
This is also an instinctive reaction...
Of course, I was just slightly uneasy, not to the point of being scared.
After making so much preparation, I can say that I am confident!
