Qiusheng went to the backyard to catch a rooster, and Lin Yi helped Uncle Jiu prepare things.
Soon, yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife, and wooden sword will be ready.
There are candles and incense burners on the altar table. Although the corpses in the coffins have already begun to transform and there is no possibility of reincarnation, these things are just pretending, but there are many things that should be there.
Uncle Jiu took out a grain of glutinous rice, flicked it with his fingers, the glutinous rice instantly turned into a fireball, and bounced into the bowl filled with chicken blood.
The chicken blood in the bowl was instantly ignited by the flames, and the flames rose high.
With the flame, Uncle Jiu poured black ink into the bowl and began to mix.
The coffin on the opposite side of the altar was covered with spells. Curious about what happened to the corpse inside, Lin Yi pushed the lid of the coffin away.
As the sun fell to the west, the yang energy between the heaven and the earth gradually declined. Even though there were many charms affixed to the coffin, the corpse of the old man still began to change.
His face was swollen and fat, his skin began to wrinkle, his fingernails swelled by three inches, and they were black and shiny.
If it weren't for these corpse suppressing charms, this old man might have completely turned into a zombie.
Ji Dong didn't know what to do about it. There were so many corpse-suppressing charms attached to it, and it was still like this. He didn't know what to do.
On the other side, the chicken blood ink was prepared, and Uncle Jiu poured the ink into the ink fountain while chanting the formula.
"Brother, why did Master get an ink fountain? Can this ink fountain restrain zombies?"
Qiu Sheng watched Uncle Jiu cast a spell, and when he saw Uncle Jiu made an ink fountain, he asked suspiciously.
Nodding his head, Lin Yi said softly.
"This ink fountain is a tool for drawing long straight lines and measuring verticality. It is endowed with the power of righteousness. It is said that evil cannot overcome righteousness, and yang must overcome yin. Therefore, this ink fountain can restrain zombies."
This is not Lin Yi's nonsense. In Taoism, the ink fountain is something of pure yang, so evil cannot prevail against good, and yang must overcome yin.
It is also recorded in "Youtai Xianguan Notes" that the ink thread used by carpentry and masonry was called Shengmo in ancient times. .
Why?Evil cannot prevail against righteousness.
"What about the chicken blood ink?"
Qiusheng asked again.
Lin Yi glanced at Qiusheng speechlessly, "Qiusheng, don't say that you are Master's apprentice in the future, it's embarrassing, you don't even know about rooster blood to ward off evil spirits?"
Qiu Sheng smiled awkwardly, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"I know that rooster blood wards off evil spirits, but I don't know why he wards off evil spirits."
"When the rooster sings, the world is white. Since ancient times, the rooster has announced the dawn, so the rooster represents the sun. At the same time, according to legend, the rooster can pull the sun and has the divinity of exorcising evil spirits, so the blood of the rooster can exorcise evil spirits."
"Then why can roosters attract souls? I've heard people say that when a person is buried after death, when the coffin crosses the river, a rooster is tied to the coffin, flapping its wings, and let the rooster crow to attract souls."
Well, Wen just left, and Qiusheng became a curious baby again.
Lin Yi said helplessly, "A phoenix that lands is not as good as a chicken. This rooster is the incarnation of the divine bird phoenix, and the phoenix has a body that combines yin and yang, so it can naturally lead the souls of the dead."
As for why it is Xuanpu, because this matter is metaphysics, it is not scientific at all!
"Have you two said enough is enough? Come to work."
After preparing the ink fountain, Uncle Jiu greeted Lin Yi and Qiu Sheng.
"Master is here."
"The whole coffin has to be bounced on the thread, don't miss it."
Uncle Jiu ordered, and took the immobile chicken to the kitchen.
Wen Cai was right, the chicken had to be eaten after it had drained the blood.
"Brother, let's start."
Qiu Sheng picked up the ink fountain and looked at Old Master Ren's coffin.
Ji Dong took the ink thread, and the two bounced on the coffin.
The two pulled the ink line, then let go.
With a snap, the ink thread soaked in the special ink bounced on the coffin, leaving a straight mark.
Soon, an ink net popped out with an ink thread appeared on the coffin.
"Okay, it's done!"
Seeing that the surface of the coffin was covered with ink lines, Qiu Sheng straightened up and smiled easily.
"What's done, it hasn't been played under the coffin yet, and it's going to be played here."
Lin Yi gave Qiusheng a blank look.
In the movie, you and Wen Cai are just so careless, which caused the zombies to break through the coffin, run out and bite Ren Fa to death.
"Ah! I want to play under the coffin too!"
When Qiu Sheng heard this, he quickly squatted down and spent some time with Ji Dong.
In the end, all six sides of the coffin were covered with ink lines. Qiu Sheng checked it several times to confirm that there was nothing missing, and then he looked at Lin Yi and asked.
"Brother, it's okay this time."
Ji Dong nodded, but he was still a little worried when he thought of the strangeness of the old man's body when he opened the coffin at noon today.
"Don't waste the used ink thread, just wrap it around the coffin and tie it up."
Qiu Sheng let out an oh, and together with Ji Dong, wrapped the ink thread around the coffin a few times.
Just like making zongzi.
"Oh, let's see how you get out now, brother, why do you think people become zombies?"
After sighing at the coffin, Qiu Sheng became a curious baby again and asked Lin Yi.
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders. He is a senior brother, and if a senior brother asks for advice, he, as a senior brother, naturally needs to know everything.
Moreover, it was rare that Qiu Sheng would suddenly be so concerned about this matter.
"Master once said that people are divided into good people and bad people, and corpses are divided into zombies and dead corpses. When a person is angry and suffocates in life, the breath will gather in his throat after death, that is, he will not stop breathing after death, and then the breath will slow down. It slowly turns into resentment, and the evil spirit eventually leads to the transformation of the dead."
"That is to say, to be a person, you must live up to your spirit, and you must not be a bad person. After you die, you must lose your spirit."
Qiu Sheng suddenly smiled and began to summarize.
"You, you also know that you must be upright in life. Wouldn't it be better to study more on weekdays?"
"Hey, I have to help my aunt look after the store and practice martial arts. How can I have time to read?"
……
I have been busy all day today, and I didn't even bother to eat. When the meal was served, it was already dark.
The four master and apprentice sat at the dining table in the big house and began to eat.
A big rooster, half of which was stewed, and the other half was made into boiled chicken.
After a day of hunger, the four of them didn't speak at the dinner table, and quickly swept the food on the table.
By the time the meal was over, the sky was completely dark, and the moon hung high in the sky.
Yizhuang is located in the outskirts, surrounded by forests. At night, the fog rises in the forest, and the moonlight falls, making the forest dim and eerie.
"Master, I'm leaving."
After eating and drinking enough, it's time to go, Qiu Sheng asked Uncle Jiu for instructions.
"Well, go back, don't be playful on the way, or your aunt will be angry with you again."
Uncle Jiu nodded and exhorted.
Qiu Sheng nodded obediently, but he was muttering in his heart, it's so late, and it's the wilderness again, where should we go to play, are we playing with ghosts?
When he thought of ghosts, Qiu Sheng thought of the woman's voice he heard today when he was offering incense in the cemetery.
I couldn't help but get goose bumps all over my body.
It's late at night, and it's still in the woods, what if I run into a ghost!
"Master, I see that the rice tank at home is almost empty. Do you want to let senior brother go back with me and buy some rice tomorrow."
……
Chapter 13 Don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night, otherwise!
Uncle Jiu and Lin Yi hadn't spoken yet, but Wen Cai suddenly laughed.
"The rice tank at home is almost empty, why didn't I know? I think you are afraid of going back to meet ghosts at night."
Wencai is cooking at home, so how much rice is in the rice jar, wouldn't he know?
There's still half a tank left.
Having been exposed, Qiu Sheng was embarrassed.
Although he was good at punching and kicking, it was physical damage, and there was really nothing he could do when he encountered a ghost.
"How is it possible? Could it be that I read it wrong? Yes, the glutinous rice is almost used up."
Lin Yi laughed twice, thinking of the weird things Qiu Sheng encountered today when he was offering incense in the cemetery, he knew that Qiu Sheng was afraid.
"Master, I will go with Qiusheng and come back early tomorrow morning."
Uncle Jiu sized Qiusheng up, then nodded, and said to Lin Yi, "Tomorrow I will take Wencai to the mountain to choose a cemetery for Mrs. Ren. Go back with Qiusheng, and be careful on the way."
"Yes, Master!"
When Uncle Jiu asked Lin Yi to go with him, Qiu Sheng's face beamed with joy, and the fear in his heart dissipated instantly.
With a senior brother around, what is he afraid of, even if there is a ghost senior brother, he can take care of it.
Wen Cai was stunned.
What, I'm going to pick a cemetery on the mountain tomorrow!
Isn't that going to break your leg!
……
"Master, why did you let senior brother go with Qiu Sheng? I'm clumsy. I will definitely be slowed down if I go to the mountain with you tomorrow!"
After Qiusheng and Lin Yi left, Wencai poured water to wash Uncle Jiu's feet, and said with pursed lips.
Uncle Jiu sat on the recliner, took off his shoes, put his feet in the basin, and lay down comfortably.
"Qiu Sheng is full of yin energy. I'm afraid he will bump into a ghost when he goes back tonight. With Ah Yi by his side, be safe."
When he heard that he would hit a ghost, Wen Cai stopped talking immediately.
It's better to be a little bit harder than to have Qiu Sheng's life in danger.
It's just that I'm afraid I'll be exhausted tomorrow.
……
After coming out of Yizhuang, the moon in the sky seemed to disappear.
The hazy moonlight was gone, and the forest was filled with fog, which affected the vision very much.
In this case, there was no flashlight, and there was no way to ride a bicycle, so Qiusheng pushed the bicycle, and Lin Yi followed.
"Brother, is it true what you said I heard today?"
"what?"
Lin Yi asked casually.
"It's that woman, say thank you, I burned incense for her, and she said thank you to me."
Qiusheng didn't dare to talk about ghosts, he didn't talk about people during the day, and he didn't talk about ghosts at night, otherwise he would talk about something.
Ji Dong smiled.
"Isn't it good to say thank you, it means that people are polite, have received your incense, and know to thank you."
Qiu Sheng shivered, "No, it's really that thing! Brother, don't scare me, no matter how polite you are, it's that thing!"
"What the hell?"
Lin Yi teased Qiu Sheng with a smile.
