Grandpa frowned and stared at the coffin. After a while, he called me forward to open the coffin.
I was surprised and said, "What if the ghost mother inside is disturbed?"
Grandpa glanced at me and said calmly, "The ghost mother uses ghost-eating ghost methods to force the ghost baby to be born. Even if it doesn't die now, it will soon die."
"Can ghosts die?" Meng Shiyu from the side interrupted.
Then Grandpa, Master Sanlong and I looked at Meng Shiyu together.
Meng Shiyu's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Because it was Meng Shiyu, Grandpa changed his tone and patiently explained, "People die as ghosts, and ghosts die as ghosts. People are afraid of ghosts, just like ghosts are afraid of ghosts."
Then he raised his head and looked at the sky, "But what exactly is it? I have been practicing in Maoshan for so many years, and I have seen a lot, but I still can't figure it out."
I originally wanted to continue asking steadily, but grandpa waved his hand to me, "We will discuss this topic later. The top priority is to get rid of the ghost mother and ghost baby."
Then the three of us used our strength to open the coffin
The moment the coffin lid was removed, I felt my stomach churning and I almost vomited out everything I had eaten in the past three days.
Lying in the coffin is a woman, but now this woman's body is covered in blood, and there is a big hole in her body. This is the result of the ghost baby's bite just now.
I resisted the desire to vomit and kept taking deep breaths.
But I can bear it, Meng Shiyu is a girl, and although she has a pair of yin and yang eyes, she certainly doesn't see many such disgusting and miserable scenes.
"Wow..." After seeing what was in the coffin, she turned pale, couldn't help it, turned around, bent over, and immediately started vomiting.
Grandpa and Master Sanlong are worthy of being veterans, and they acted very calmly from the beginning to the end.
I walked over and gently patted Meng Shiyu on the shoulder, "Are you okay?"
Meng Shiyu vomited for a while, then gradually recovered, her face slowly returned to normal, she forced out a very stiff smile, "I'm fine."
I was afraid that Meng Shiyu would vomit it out when she saw the female corpse later, so I said to her, "Don't go there, just wait for us here!"
Meng Shiyu herself was afraid of seeing the female corpse again, so she said "Okay" without any hesitation.
Then I returned to my grandfather and Master Sanlong. Out of curiosity, I asked my grandfather how to deal with the ghost baby and ghost mother in the coffin.
Grandpa thought for a while, "This place has now become an artificial corpse raising ground. Not only will the ghost babies and ghost mothers be destroyed, but this place will also be burned clean."
As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, something unexpected happened, and the ghost mother in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ah..." The ghost mother screamed, then stretched out her arms to stand up from the coffin.
"Grandpa, be careful..." I shouted in panic.
Fortunately, grandpa's reaction was not slow, he was very fast. Before the ghost mother came out of the coffin, grandpa quickly stretched out his finger and pointed on the ghost mother's forehead. The ghost mother's movements paused, her face was ferocious, and then
Then he fell straight into the coffin.
When Master Sanlong saw the Ghost Mother returning to the coffin, he immediately closed the coffin lid.
Then grandpa let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did I notice that grandpa had a copper coin between his fingers and it was still bleeding.
"Grandpa, why are your hands bleeding?" I panicked. Could it be that you were injured by the ghost mother?
Grandpa glanced at his bleeding finger, and then said, "Don't worry, I injured it myself. The copper coins and the blood of a living person, no matter how powerful the ghost mother is, can't resist it."
Then grandpa looked at Master Sanlong, "We were careless just now. This ghost mother is indeed cunning. We have to act quickly, otherwise, there will be another accident."
Master Sanlong nodded solemnly, expressing his agreement with grandpa's point of view.
Grandpa and Master Sanlong started to take action. They first walked to the ghost baby's position, and then grandpa wrapped a red thread around the ghost baby's finger. The other part of the red thread was pinched by grandpa in his hand. Grandpa pinched the red thread and kept moving his body.
After retreating a certain distance, grandpa took out a bronze mirror. He tied the red thread to the bronze mirror, and then placed the bronze mirror on the ground.
Grandpa squatted on the ground, took out a piece of yellow paper, took out a box of cinnabar, and began to draw the talisman.
Grandpa and Grandpa drew the talisman with the same momentum as the Three Dragon Masters. The pen moved like a dragon and a snake, and the strokes were very fast, and soon a yellow talisman was drawn.
"Tai Shang Laojun, if you follow me, the yin and yang will rotate, the true fire of samadhi will drive out ghosts and subjugate demons!" Grandpa closed his eyes and recited the spell in a deep voice. Then he pointed, and the yellow talisman began to burn and fell on the bronze mirror.
.
The bronze mirror was illuminated brightly by the burning flames, and soon the red thread tied to the bronze mirror also caught fire.
The flame was so bright red that it looked like blood at first glance. This was not an ordinary fire, but the Samadhi True Fire borrowed by grandpa.
Samadhi True Fire is a very powerful flame in Taoism. Generally speaking, those who can borrow Samadhi True Fire are masters who have practiced it for decades. Anyway, even if you kill me now, I still can't borrow Samadhi True Fire.
The true fire of samadhi began to burn along the red thread, and soon the red thread burned to the end of the ghost baby.
The corpse of the ghost baby is like gasoline, and the real fire of samadhi burns even more violently when it touches the ghost baby.
The corpse of the ghost baby was instantly submerged in the true fire of Samadhi.
It also made a "crackling" sound like fried beans.
As the ghost baby endured the torment in the true fire of Samadhi, the coffin that had been restrained by Grandpa and Master Sanlong began to shake again.
Master Sanlong's expression changed, and then he shouted to me, "Dongfang, come here quickly and use ink lines to suppress this coffin."
The situation at hand was urgent. When Master Sanlong called me to help, I didn't dare to slack off, so I picked up the ink fountain line and went over.
Master Sanlong and I each held one end of the ink fountain string, and we loaded the entire coffin onto the ink fountain, not even the bottom of the coffin.
After we filled the entire coffin with ink, we calmed down again.
"Dongfang, hurry up and take your classmates back. This place will be left to me and Sanlong."
I originally planned to refuse to stay with my grandfather, but looking at his firm eyes, I had no choice but to agree.
Grandpa said that he would also use Samadhi True Fire to burn the ghost mother’s coffin, and at the same time, he would also burn the artificial corpse place with fire. In order to prevent the fire from spreading, he and Master Sanlong would have to stay and watch.
When Meng Shiyu and I were leaving, my grandfather pulled me aside and said to me secretly, "Tell me honestly what kind of relationship you have with that female classmate of yours."
When grandpa spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Meng Shiyu.
I said helplessly, "She and I are really just ordinary friends."
Grandpa curled his lips, obviously not believing what I said, "I don't care if you and her are just friends? Anyway, I think this girl is good, you have to give me some snacks, our old Zhao family is counting on you to continue the family line!"
