After lunch, Master taught me the ritual of giving food.
Master told me that this is not an orthodox Taoist feeding ritual, but a simple feeding ceremony that is compatible with Buddhism and Taoism. You can use an iron can or a water cup. Use your Sanqing fingers to drag the feeding pot and grab the rice with the other hand.
Just feed it.
Open the flame first, then serve food to save the souls of the dead.
Master just told me the vital points and did not perform the actual feeding ceremony.
I had seen Master how to give food before, and after a few simple instructions, I learned it. For this reason, Master also specially told me the mantra to recite when giving food.
He said that almsgiving was originally a very important ritual, and large almsgiving ceremonies required many Taoist priests to perform it. But after living among the people, the procedures were simplified. Whatever is convenient is done, as long as the purpose is achieved.
.
"Okay! This is the part about giving food to attract resentful souls. Next, Master will draw a few talismans for each of you! Maybe you can use them in the evening." After Master finished speaking, he took out the cinnabar pen and talisman paper.
Really draw the talisman on the table.
This time, he was particularly particular and even put a yellow cloth on the table.
When I saw this situation, I vaguely guessed that tonight would be an extremely dangerous night. Because Master had never been so serious before.
What makes me a little confused is that Master clearly knew that we would be in danger tonight. Why did he still let the three of us go with confidence?
Could it be that there is some secret about unreliable people?
After the master finished drawing the talisman, he cast his gaze on my face again and said with a serious face: "Boy, you must put away the soul urn around your waist. The gourd passed down to you by the master is also very important.
At the critical moment, you can drink a little wine to increase your yang energy and physical strength. With the power of this magic wine, your yang energy will recover quickly."
"Understood." I replied to Master.
At this time, Mrs. Chen came over again. She also said similar words to Lian Xiaoru as Master. Finally, Mrs. Chen came to my side again and asked me with concern: "Those pictures of people from last time?"
There are still soul paper figures!"
"Yeah! There are three more." I said.
"Remember to hide it well, it can save your life at critical moments." Granny Chen reminded me.
"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."
My heart felt warm for a while.
Next, Master explained some things to Fang Tao. Before we knew it, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and Master shouted to us: "You can go."
Just like that, the old man drove us away without even having dinner.
However, when I left, Master specially gave me a very small glass bottle and a few grapefruit leaves. He said that these were needed to open my eyes, and he also specifically told me to save some of them.
After listening to Master's words, I felt warm in my heart. After all, this old bachelor still feels sorry for his apprentice, especially me, his direct disciple.
However, the master did not treat Fang Tao badly. He gave him a Liuding Liujia amulet and a Bagua mirror.
After Fang Tao took the talisman and Bagua mirror from his master, he looked proud.
This boy is born lustful and extremely bold. As soon as he leaves the sight of the master, this guy's hands become restless.
We set off together and chartered a van to go to Wuzhen. This guy deliberately got on the bus last, then squeezed in next to Xiaoru and deliberately rubbed against her body.
This kid couldn't compensate for Xiaoru's cruelty. Before he could react, Lian Xiaoru pinched his thigh hard, causing the kid to grit his teeth in pain.
"Sister Xiaoru, don't play like this! If you pinch me like this again, you will destroy my legs." Fang Tao smiled bitterly and said to Lian Xiaoru.
"It doesn't matter if your legs are crippled. If you dare to do this next time, I will cripple you, believe it or not?" Lian Xiaoru glared at Fang Tao so hard that the boy opened his mouth in fright, and had no choice but to face him honestly.
Sit aside.
Forget it, Lian Xiaoru glanced at me and immediately started laughing: "Qiao Yang, I'm a little tired. Let me lend you my shoulder."
After saying that, this girl really leaned towards my shoulder.
I bet this girl did it intentionally to show that boy Fang Tao.
Let me go, what does this girl want to express? Isn't this intentionally provoking a conflict between me and Fang Tao? She probably wants to use me to get rid of Fang Tao's perverted claws, and before releasing the secret code "I am from Qiao Yang, from now on
Don't touch me."
No matter what! Just rely on it! You won’t lose anything anyway.
"Whatever you want. Just rely on it if you like it!" I replied to Xiaoru with a smile.
Xiaoru glanced at Fang Tao with disdain and sneered: "Fang, let me tell you, don't make any plans for me. There are a lot of men who like me, so be careful if I ask someone to kill you."
.Sure enough, this girl used me to scare Fang Tao.
"Hehe! Sister Xiaoru, please don't be like this. I just want to get closer to you. After all, you are our senior sister!"
Fang Tao said to Xiaoru with an apologetic smile.
I really admire this guy's shamelessness. Even now, he can still say such shameless words.
Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said: "Come on! You'd better not come with me when you go out on the street. Don't say you know me. I've seen too many scum like this and disdain to be with them. I ate from the bowl and thought about the pot.
The ungrateful wolf inside. How long has it been since your girlfriend Jiang Wenjuan died!"
"I..." Fang Tao lowered his head, a trace of sadness and embarrassment flashed across his face. After a while, he squeezed out a smile towards Lian Xiaoru and said, "I didn't come here just to express my gratitude to my girlfriend.
Master, do you want to learn Taoism?"
"Bah!" Lian Xiaoru rolled her eyes angrily and stopped talking to him.
When I saw that boy Fang Tao, he looked embarrassed. I didn't know what to say. In this way, the three of us kept silent, and before we knew it, we arrived in Wuzhen.
We asked the driver to ask around and found the place where the bridge was being repaired.
"I heard that a bridge is being built at a place called Yanziwo on the Wulin River. I think that is the place you are looking for! I will drive you there now."
The taxi driver said to us. I nodded, and the guy drove the car straight to the bridge construction site. After driving for about ten minutes, we saw a bridge under construction in the distance.
"Look! The bridge is being built there." Lian Xiaoru shouted, "Wow! It's such a big bridge! I think it's a project worth at least tens of millions."
"Master, stop!" I shouted to the taxi driver.
That kid Fang Tao immediately rushed to pay.
After getting off the bus, this guy said to me and Xiaoru with a flattering look on his face: "Senior brother, senior sister, let's go find a place to fill our stomachs first!"
"Xiaoru, what do you think?" I was afraid that Xiaoru would have any objections, so I asked her.
Xiaoru looked at Fang Tao and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Do you want to treat me?"
"Hey! Senior sister, you are so awesome. How did you know that I was going to treat you! Yes, I was planning to treat you two to dinner!" Fang Tao said with a smile. This kid's mental quality is really strong, how can he scold you?
He's fine too.
I thought Xiaoru would refuse, but who knew that this girl actually agreed to Fang Tao.
"Just go, sisters, I'll stay calm for a while. Just don't feel bad."
"Heartache is like a puppy." That boy Fang Tao took out a thick money clip from his pocket and said with a proud look on his face: "Eat it! I have more than three thousand yuan here. Eat whatever you want."
This guy already expressed his opinion. Xiaoru and I had nothing to worry about. We seriously ordered a meal worth more than 200 yuan.
Just like that, we sat in a decent restaurant and started eating.
As we ate, it didn't take long for a group of people to arrive. Each of them was wearing a safety helmet, and you could tell at a glance that they were from the construction site.
"Alas! Something happened again today. This place is really evil. Five people have died. If the deaths continue like this, I don't think Mr. Peng's project will even make any money."
A fat worker took a puff from the flue.
Another one added: "I heard that Mr. Peng is already thinking of a solution. Feng shui masters have come to see it. I guess it won't take long to suppress this evil spirit."
"Nonsense! This is not evil spirit. This is resentment. Every time a bridge is built, there will be resentment."
Speaking of this, the fat man from before deliberately lowered his voice and said to the other two people: "Hey! Don't tell this matter! I heard that when Mr. Peng received this kind of business in the past, there would usually be
Human Sacrifice Bridge.”
"Ah! Human sacrifice on the bridge? How?"
"Intentional accidents were caused. If someone fell into the bridge pier that was being filled with concrete, the foreman would immediately shout, 'Pour cement', and there would be a loud splash, and other workers would pour truckloads of cement into the bridge pier.
.In this way, a human soul entered the bridge pier. From then on, there were people guarding the bridge at this place. The deceased had great resentment and could suppress the evil spirits nearby. This is called human sacrifice on the bridge. Because when a person dies,
, there will be a sense of resentment. The heavier the resentment, the more able it is to suppress the evil spirit under the bridge."
"No way! Listen to what you said. Could it be that the old Wang who died a while ago was used as a memorial to the bridge? I heard that someone fell into the bridge at that time, and the foreman immediately asked someone to fill it with cement."
"Alas! No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. I just heard about it. In fact, in that case, if you fall, there is no way to save it, and there is no way to save it if you don't fill it up. Besides, even if someone shouts, it won't be saved.
A cement truck may not be able to respond in time! The cement slurry in this truck has fallen, can people survive? So it’s really hard to say about this kind of thing."
"No one knows whether this is true or not. I have also heard a little bit about it. However, it seems to be a little different from what you said. I heard people say that many people drowned under this bridge in the past, and a lot of them were lost.
My baby is under the bridge, so I am very resentful. It seems that even human sacrifice will not work. I have to use a golden boy with pure yin and pure yang!"
"Then things are getting a bit troublesome. If things continue like this, I don't know how many people will die! Where can I find the golden boy and the beautiful girl?"
"Okay! Stop talking. If the superiors hear it, we will lose our jobs."
"It's possible to break your dog's legs." The fat man from before replied with a smile, and the three of them stopped discussing the matter.
I broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. I started to feel a little worried.
I'm afraid that my identity will be exposed. These people are heinous villains.
They can do things like human sacrifice on the bridge. Is there anything else that they don’t dare to do? If we are recognized, Xiaoru and I are the golden girls they are looking for, so we can just arrest them and fill the bridge. Isn’t that right?
Dead?
Xiaoru probably noticed this. She intentionally moved closer to me, winked at me and said, "Qiao Yang, what should I do? It seems that the situation is a bit bad. We came here in a bit of a hurry tonight. Will we
