Master Qin took out a cloth bag with silver needles inside. Master Qin inserted the silver needles into many places on my body.
It seems that what Lanxi is talking about is acupuncture. I know very clearly that my grandfather is definitely a master of acupuncture and always carries a set of silver needles with him.
It was not until dawn and the chickens crowed in the village that Mr. Qin and the owner of the village left the room.
The leader of the village asked Lanxi to help heat up the previous meal and boil two eggs. Later, I found out that the eggs were for the monk. Lanxi had always thought that the monk did not eat eggs.
After dinner, as soon as Lanxi put away the dishes, the village leader asked her to go home and have a good rest. Come back before dark, and remember to bring some change of clothes.
Lanxi was a little confused. The village owner was not at home usually, so Lanxi helped take care of the house. There were some people who could change clothes here.
When I went out, I happened to see Chujiu and Mi Li's grandma entering the village and heading here eagerly.
Mi Li's grandmother is Jian Shu, and she is the owner of Fengwang Village. All the children in the village know each other, and Grandma Jian Shu comes to the village every six months.
Grandma Jian Shu said hello to Lan Xi and walked to the village owner's house.
Chujiu told Lanxi that the gift I brought her was in the big travel bag he gave Mili, and asked Lanxi to go find Mili to get it.
Lanxi was a little surprised and expected to go to Mi Li's house first.
The other sisters in the village are all at Mi Li's house. Everyone is wearing hoodies and jeans, with smiles on their faces.
Only then did Lanxi realize that the gifts I gave them were so valuable.
Such clothes are rare in the county town. When Lanxi was buying condiments in the county town, she saw tourists passing by wearing such clothes. At that time, she secretly thought with envy that one day she would also have one.
As a result, in addition to clothes, everyone also had a set of cosmetics. Mi Li taught everyone how to use them. Every girl kept them like treasures.
After trying the clothes on, they fit perfectly. Although Lanxi was shorter than the other girls, the size of the clothes was very suitable.
When several girls clamored to come to the village master's house to thank me, they were told that the village master would not allow people to go to his house if it was not possible for the next two days.
Lan Xi was secretly happy. She could be the first to thank her brother. She liked the gift he gave her so much. Several girls cheered that they could wear new clothes in the New Year.
After a good sleep, Lan Xi arrived at the village master's house with his clothes, it was already afternoon.
Everyone in the village master's house was busy. After seeing Lanxi's arrival, the village master stopped what he was doing and brought Lanxi to the room.
There were many auxiliary medicinal materials placed on the ground floor of the room. The village leader told Lanxi how often these medicinal materials should be added to the large wooden barrel and in what order.
Everyone ate something simply. The leader of the village looked at the sky, lowered his head and quickened his movements.
When Lanxi saw Chujiu, she was using a knife to cut the bamboo tubes into half-finger-wide bamboo strips. Grandma Jian Shu wove the bamboo strips into the skeleton of a lantern. After the village owner pasted the skeleton with special paper, she used a
A writing brush drew some incomprehensible symbols on it.
Mr. Qin sat on a chair with his eyes closed to relax. After the lantern was finished, the village leader showed worried eyes and told Mr. Qin that it would be better if he did it instead!
Mr. Qin laughed helplessly. This must be the closest person to the effect. He told the village leader not to worry.
Several people came to the bedside in the room with deep thoughts. Lanxi saw that I was covered with a thick quilt, and my exposed toes and fingers were all tied with red ropes.
"Brother, tonight should be the easiest, so you should go first, and we will be responsible for guarding the surroundings."
The village leader handed Master Qin a glass of water and sat on the chair next to Master Qin.
"Don't worry, if we old immortals can't survive tonight, we can go and feed the fish together."
After Grandma Jian Shu said with a smile, she patted the cloth bag on her back, and a "squeaking" sound came from the cloth bag.
The great monk didn't say anything. He took out a string of rosary beads from his pocket and put them on his neck.
Lan Xi was called outside the house alone by the village leader. The village leader told Lan Xi that he only asked her to help because of her fate. This matter was related to my life and was also very dangerous.
When Lanxi heard that it was about my life, she gritted her teeth and said that she would persevere. Apparently Chujiu told everyone that I bought the gift, which played a big role.
In fact, what my uncle wanted Lanxi to do was not complicated. He just needed to keep the water in the barrel from getting too cold, and after the time was up, add the cooked medicinal materials into it.
When Lan Xi returned to the house, I had been carried into a large wooden barrel containing black potion by Master Qin and others.
Before closing the door, the village leader once again told Lan Xi that no matter what happened to me, I should not deal with it privately, just do as he said.
The windows of my room were tightly closed, and the village owner put talisman stickers on the windows. Finally, the bamboo door was also closed, and Lanxi guessed that talisman stickers must have been posted outside.
It didn't take long for the sun to set. Lanxi was beside the stove, adding firewood to the stove and started to boil the first pot of hot water.
"It's almost time. Let's get started. I'll just keep guard at the door."
Lanxi heard that it was the village master's voice.
"I will guard the north, behind the house." This was the voice of Chujiu's younger brother.
"Amitabha, old monk, please stay in the east." The great monk's voice came into the house from the window on one side.
"The only thing left is the West, I'll come!" Apart from Lan Xi, the only woman's voice was that of Grandma Jian Shu without having to guess.
Lanxi thought curiously, except for Chujiu, these people should all be powerful people. What do they want to guard? What is it that is so powerful that it requires these big people to guard the house together?
When Lan Xi was still thinking wildly, he suddenly saw me lying in the barrel, with some changes in my body.
Several small wounds were opened on the chest and shoulders. As soon as the blood seeped out, the wounds began to scab and then became lighter. The black liquid in the barrel became clearer.
"Brother, why don't you take a rest for a while? I'll open the eyes of everyone first!"
Lanxi heard the village leader talking into the house, and then heard the village leader reciting strange words.
The law of the sky is clear, the spirit of the earth, and the water spirit appear. The true form appears quickly. The true form appears quickly. I serve San Mao Zhenjun like a law and order, and hastily like a law and order!
Lanxi couldn't remember the specific content of the strange words her uncle recited. But from the words she remembered, I could tell that this was a spell to open the eyes of the sky. I heard Chujiu recite it many times.
"Hey, he's really here! Let's see if he can get past the old monk?"
The sound of chanting began to come from outside the window, and Lan Xi suddenly became nervous. Could something break in? Are they going to break into the house? What are they?
Not sure if it was an illusion, Lan Xi felt that the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a bit, and there was a gloomy feeling.
