It was getting late, and Zhu Yong was anxious to ask Long Chen to do some exorcism, but Long Chen was not in a hurry.
"Master, please be patient. These two female ghosts are powerful. Even though I have some tricks, I still need to rely on good timing."
Long Chen slowly put down the cinnabar pen and finished drawing the talisman on the peach wood sword.
Seeing how calm Long Chen was, Zhu Yong felt much more at ease.
"Okay, no rush."
Zhu Yong patiently accompanied Long Chen.
In the Buddhist hall outside the courtyard.
Mu is kneeling on the futon in the Buddhist hall, holding a wooden fish hammer in his right hand and a rosary in his left hand. In front of him is a golden statue of the Buddha who has taken refuge.
Dodo dodo...
Mu closed his eyes and slowly struck the wooden fish while chanting Buddhist scriptures continuously.
The maid Hongmei and the other maids knelt behind her, their feet were numb.
Hongmei followed the Mu family to believe in Buddhism and worshiped Buddha devoutly in her heart. Although her feet were numb, she sincerely recited the scriptures.
The other maids wanted to end it as soon as possible. Two of the maids had held back their urine and almost couldn't hold it in anymore, so they wanted to go to the toilet earlier.
It was already dark outside, but the lights over the Seven Star Altar were brightly lit, and many people were watching.
The maid peeked back from time to time.
Although they were in the Buddhist hall and there was the Seven-Star Dharma Altar outside, they felt even more panicked.
Because this means that Zhuangzi is really haunted by ghosts, and we are going to catch ghosts tonight.
Woohoo...
In the Buddhist hall, there was suddenly a burst of sobbing, intermittent, and it sounded very miserable, as if a woman who had been greatly wronged was crying.
When Hongmei heard the sound, her heart beat violently, and she turned to look at Mu.
Mu still kept banging the wooden fish, but the sound was slightly louder, as if he was trying to suppress the ghost's cry.
A maid behind her was frightened by the ghost's cry. She couldn't hold it back and her pants were wet.
The maid next to her frowned and looked over. She couldn't hold it in anymore...
Bang Dang..
The incense burner enshrined in front of the Buddha suddenly fell down, the candle flames and incense ashes exploded, and Mu's hair and clothes were covered in ashes.
"lady!"
Hongmei quickly got up, trying to cover Mu Shi, but after kneeling all afternoon, her knees had long since failed to obey her, and she bumped forward, knocking Mu Shi to the ground.
"lady..."
Hongmei quickly got up, and the maid behind her also crawled over to help Mu. The frightened maid secretly went out to change her pants.
Mu was furious. As soon as he stood upright, he slapped Hongmei on the face and cursed: "Why are you panic? If you take refuge in the Buddha, evil spirits can still turn the world upside down!"
Hongmei immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, spare your life!"
Woohoo...
After taking refuge in the Buddha, a red dress flashed past. The maidservant was so frightened that she screamed. Mu Shi also saw it and turned pale with fright.
"Madam, let's go back first."
The maid advised fearfully.
Mu Shi was just being tough, not really not afraid. The maid said this, and she turned around and walked out.
When I got outside, I saw many people surrounding the altar. Seven large iron vats were placed on the platform, with a raging fire burning, and Taoist flags fluttering slightly in the night wind.
Mu stopped and looked at it for a while, then walked back to the backyard.
Walking on the road in the backyard, although there are lanterns hanging on both sides, the eerie feeling has not diminished at all.
Several maids followed Mu's footsteps and hurried back.
Woohoo...
A pitiful ghost cry was heard, and Mu's heart tightened. Hongmei's hand holding Mu trembled, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"lady..."
"Forgive me..."
The woman's voice was intermittent and shrill, making people's scalp numb.
Mu's face turned even worse. The voice seemed to remind her of something.
"ah!"
The maidservant who was following him suddenly froze and pointed to a dark red shadow in front of her. A woman stood there with long black hair covering her face. Her clothes and hair were stained with water. A puddle of water could be seen on the ground.
trace.
Hongmei stopped and looked at the woman in front of her in horror, feeling her mind go blank.
When Mrs. Mu saw this woman, she was so frightened that her face completely changed. She no longer looked like the mistress of a wealthy family.
"Madam... have mercy on me... I won't say anything..."
The woman dragged her wet hair and dress and slowly approached...
Mu's eyes suddenly turned white as she watched the woman approaching, and she fainted.
call...
All the surrounding lanterns suddenly went out. Hongmei and the maidservant were so frightened that they couldn't care about Mu and ran away screaming like headless flies.
Hongmei felt as if she had stepped on cotton under her feet. She rushed to the seven-star altar in the front yard, grabbed Zhu Lie, and shouted in horror: "Mrs. ghost..."
The appearance of Hongmei frightened Zhu Lie, and the onlookers were also frightened.
Zhu Lie knew something was wrong and asked: "Where? What happened to my mother?"
Hongmei pointed in the direction of the backyard, her mouth opened wide, but she couldn't say a word.
Zhu Lie wanted to rush to the backyard, but he was afraid, so he turned around and rushed to the guest room quickly.
When I arrived at the door, I saw Zhu Yong chatting with Long Chen.
Zhu Lie quickly rushed into the room and said anxiously: "Dad, mother has seen a ghost!"
Zhu Yong stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "What?"
Long Chen stood up and said slowly: "Don't panic, the eldest son will lead the way."
Zhu Lie led the way, followed by Zhu Yong, and Long Chen took the peach wood sword and went to the backyard together.
All the lanterns around him were extinguished, and only through the gloomy night could he see Mu lying unconscious on the ground.
Zhu Lie took the young man and carried Mu back to the room. Hongmei's trembling hands lit the candle and put Mu on the bed.
Zhu Lie looked at Mu and called anxiously: "Mother!"
Mu did not respond. Zhu Yong became anxious and asked, "Taoist Priest, can you use your magic-breaking needle to wake me up?"
Mu was old and not as young and tender as Narcissus. Long Chen was not interested in seeing an old woman wearing pajamas.
"No need, I will destroy the evil spirit tonight, and my lady will wake up by herself."
If Mu was beautiful, Long Chen would be willing to take off her clothes and prick her with needles.
Zhu Yong nodded slightly and asked anxiously: "When will the Taoist priest get up?"
Long Chen looked at the time and said: "It's a little off, but it doesn't matter, it's earlier."
"This evil spirit is so rampant. A poor man here dares to come out and harm people."
"The poor Taoist just opened an altar to do this to catch the evil spirit."
Zhu Yong was overjoyed and asked Zhu Lie to watch in the room. He accompanied Long Chen out of the room and went to the altar in the front yard.
"Master of the village, Pindao, go back and get the magic weapon."
Long Chen quickly returned to the room and carried a box to the altar.
Long Chen was wearing a Taoist robe and a mahogany sword in his hand. He was standing in front of the incense burner. A yellow flag hung due to the north, with a "swastika" painted on it in bright red cinnabar.
The word "卍" originally originated from China and was the symbol of Taoism. Later, it was stolen by Buddhism and became the symbol of Buddhism.
Swastika is originally the symbol of the four Big Dipper stars, representing the four seasons of the Big Dipper and the supreme star pattern.
Facing the swastika star pattern flag, Long Chen bowed three times, lit three high-quality incense, and inserted it into the incense burner.
He picked up the mahogany sword in one hand and a yellow talisman in the other, placed it on the candle and burned it. Long Chen waved it a few times and recited:
"The fragrant swallows and jade furnace are in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal is coming to the Xuan. The ministers will tell you, and it will reach the nine heavens."
Just after I finished reading, bursts of ghostly cries suddenly came from all around.
Woohoo...
The ghost's cry became louder and more miserable.
Zhu Yong and the onlookers were trembling with fear.
