the last priest

Snails are an ordinary dish in the past and now, either in broth, or stir-fried, with some rice wine and a few mouthfuls of delicious snail meat, it is like a god.As everyone knows, the snail is also the best host for a kind of evil ghost, and it is a water ghost.There is a medium-sized reservoir in our village. After the flood discharge of the reservoir used to generate electricity, snails could be touched on the shore. I often went there when I was a child, but since people drowned in that reservoir, there is hardly a single snail in the entire reservoir.

Hetu's body was covered with countless snails, and when the snails were removed from his face, the child's face turned purple.Chaozi probed with his fingers, and the child was already out of breath, and Zha Wenbin didn't care whether the matter here was over, he picked up the Qiankun bag and rushed home with Hetu in his arms.

Even a good living person is suffocated after being held in the water for such a period of time, not to mention that Hetu has suffered such an accident.The onlookers were terrified, and from then on, almost no one in our village ate snails anymore.

After arriving home, Cha Wenbin ordered Dashan to boil a large pot of hot water immediately, and then spread a layer of wormwood on the bottom of the barrel.Wormwood has the effect of expelling evil spirits and dampness. In many rural areas, wormwood is hung on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival to dispel bad luck at home.

On top of wormwood, there are copper coins in turn. China has used ancient coins for a long time, and modern Taoist priests do not choose any kind of copper coins, but pay attention to them.

The commonly used ancient coins are "exorcism ancient coins and five emperors ancient coins". "Five Emperors" refers to the reign titles of the five most prosperous emperors of the Qing Dynasty, "Shunzhi", "Kangxi", "Yongzheng", "Qianlong" and "Jiaqing".

The firewood for burning water in the mountains must also be formulated. Ginkgo trees that are more than [-] years old need to be used. In the past, there were many thick ginkgo trees in our village. "Old and famous trees".The ginkgo tree can live for hundreds of years, because it blooms at night, and people never see it, so the ancients believed that it hides some special power. Therefore, in the past, the seals of town houses were carved with ginkgo wood, which has The function of deterring unclean things.

Originally, in order to prevent the river water from getting wet on his body, Hetu had specially asked Hetu to get a suit of clothes made of tarpaulin. Now, he cut it open with scissors. Good guy, this child is almost covered with snails, and the special stench is almost It filled the whole room, and people looked at it with both pity and fear.

A total of two buckets of hot water were boiled, and only salt was added to one of the buckets.

After the hot water was boiled, Hetu, covered with snails, was carefully carried by Cha Wenbin into the salt bucket.Those snails couldn't stand the sudden increase in water temperature, and they peeled off Hetu's body one after another. When Hetu was taken out of the bucket again, his body was densely covered with red spots caused by those suckers. One can imagine the crime.

Those snails in the bucket were soaked in hot salt water, so death was instantaneous.Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong followed Zha Wenbin's instructions and picked up all the snails in the bucket and wrapped them in cloth, so that he would still be useful later.

Hetu was already sitting in the bucket covered with wormwood and copper coins, his eyes were closed.In Zha Wenbin's words, there is still a trace of breath still lingering, but in our words, it is not completely dead.

Cha Wenbin held a gourd in his hand, which is the kind that is common in our rural areas.When the gourd is ripe, pick it off, open a small opening from the top, take out all the meat and seeds inside, then boil it in boiling water for 10 minutes, and then put it under the sun to expose it to the sun. This kind of gourd was also used to hold wine in the past. But for Taoists, its biggest function is to absorb evil spirits.

Gourd has the effect of turning bad luck into good luck.In the eyes of the ancient Chinese, the gourd is an important treasure with magical effects such as attracting demons and avoiding evil spirits, eliminating Ernafu, and improving wealth.The shape of the gourd has a small mouth and a large body, which means that it is easy to get in but hard to get out; it is used to cure diseases and eliminate evil spirits, and has the effect of preventing blood and light.Hanging the gourd in front of the patient's bed or placing it on the patient's sleeping side can help the patient calm down and rest.Hanging the gourd outside the gate has the function of keeping the people inside the house safe.

Now Zha Wenbin uses a gourd to fill the bucket with water, and then pours it down from the top of Hetu's head. If there is no gourd, the evil spirit on his body will be absorbed into the gourd. In the end, an empty gourd Trying to pick up the bottle can make people breathless, and the strength of this kind of dried gourd is comparable to that of iron plates, but now it is also covered with cracks on the surface.

About two hours later, Cha Wenbin was already slumped on the ground, and Hetu in the barrel had his eyes closed.

At the beginning, the water in the barrel still had a strong smell of snails, but by now only the scent of wormwood remained.

Then pour out all the water in the wooden barrel, and make another barrel. In addition to the raw materials just now, add cinnabar, and keep the temperature in the barrel.It continued like this until night, when Hetu's face began to turn slightly from purple to pale, and the red spots on his body also gradually faded away.

Zha Wenbin and others have not closed their eyes for a day and a night. He still can't sleep, and he still has a lot of things to do.

The door of Cha’s house was closed, and the first table in the yard had been set up. There was a red tray in the middle of the table. On the tray was a cooked pig’s head, two plates of steamed buns stacked high, and two bowls of inverted rice. joss stick.

Ma Sufeng's spiritual tablet has been lifted out and placed on the front of the table, a yellow-backed and red-letter Celestial Master Talisman is pasted on the spiritual tablet, the whole table is covered with yellow brocade, and the pattern of gossip is drawn on it.

It was clear at first glance that this situation was going to be a big deal. For this precious apprentice, Cha Wenbin could say that he was ready to do whatever it took, and the patriarch was brought out to help.

He Tu was lying naked on the bed at the moment, and Cha Wenbin used a brush dipped in cinnabar to draw seven small circles on his body. These seven circles happened to be the seven major acupoints on the human body.

Taoism believes that people have three souls and seven souls, and the souls govern the body. If you want to save your life, you must first keep the seven souls alive. If you lose one soul, you will definitely die of a sudden illness.The seven souls have their corresponding acupoints when they want to come out of the body, and the acupoints circled by Cha Wenbin are the key to keep the seven souls.

The ancients said: "Cultivating the original source is the first, and saving the treasure of life is the most urgent. If you still have a breath, you can return to life!".

What Zha Wenbin has to do is to first develop the seven-star life extension method that Zhuge Kongming used back then.He used it once before, but it was different from today's time. Today's situation is much more dangerous than the previous one.

The seven-star lamp is divided into the inner seven stars and the outer seven stars. The inner seven stars are used to open the seven stars at the acupuncture points to guard the soul, and the outer seven stars are the eternal lights to protect the life.

The key to keep the lights on is not the right position, but the way to add the oil.The oil in the long-burning lamp cannot be poured directly into the bowl. Instead, two bowls need to be collided together, and the oil in the bowl full of oil should be shaken into the other bowl.If the method of adding the oil is wrong or the oil is forgotten to add, the life cannot continue. Once the impermanence comes, according to the current ability of Zha Wenbin, there is no way to stop him from bringing people.

The so-called seven-star lamp refers to the seven large and key points in the body that can absorb and transform life energy qi light in high-dimensional space.These seven acupuncture points are distributed in the human body. If you stand on the left side and look at it, it is just a pattern of the Big Dipper with the mouth facing forward and downward.The names of the acupoints and the names of the seven stars are:

Tanzhong acupoint: it is the lamp of the poor wolf star;

There is an empty point in front of the eye point: Giant Gate Star Lamp;

Niwan point: Lucun star lamp;

Jiaji Point: Wenqu Xingdeng;

Mingmen acupoint: it is the star lamp of Lianzhen;

Dantian Qi point: it is the star lamp of Wuqu;

Seabed Cave: For the star lamp of Tiangang!

These are also the seven acupoints of a person's natal life, which constitute the seven-star lamp of the natal life in the human body.Kong Ming tried to save his life by fighting with the outer seven stars, but he was knocked out unexpectedly and failed to save his life.He only knew about the outer seven stars, and an oil lamp was blown out by someone entering the door, but he didn't know that there is an inner seven-star lamp in the human body. Blow, the lamp will not go out as usual.

The seven acupuncture points presided over by the Seven Star Lantern are all the key to life.There is a saying in the Danjing: "From this point forward, thousands of holy secrets are not passed on, so the disciples of later generations are rarely heard of and encountered. If people understand this hole, they can really take away the magic power and change the destiny."

The seven-star lamp method is used to add oil and receive fate, using the spiritual light and energy in the universe as "oil", using the gathering of spirits as "adding", and using the storage of thoughts and inner meditation as "connection".First click on the inner and inner seven stars, which is also called backlighting, and then click on the outer seven stars, which is also called backlighting.Usually, after a critical illness, one day people will suddenly show obvious signs of improvement. They need to eat and drink, and the family members think it is a good thing.

Usually this person will die shortly after the flashback, the Outer Seven Stars try to prolong this flashback time as much as possible, back then Zhuge just wanted to continue his life one by one, but unexpectedly the formation was broken.

If the outer seven stars are a little bit, it is necessary for Cha Wenbin to get back the soul lost by Hetu within a specified time, so that the soul can be returned to its place before the bad luck comes, otherwise, it will die after the backlight is over.
