Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 9
The Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave, the spirit dominates the sky.Lu Zu, the great sage, is full of majesty and glory.

Heaven and earth, cut off the source of evil.Born in the clouds, come to the altar.

Come down with true energy, pass through the water and into the smoke.According to the legend of the Three Realms, all demons raise their fists.

Daoist Wuwei respectfully lit the three pillars of spiritual incense, and then muttered something. At some point, there was a dharma sword in his hand, and he was stepping on mysterious and strange steps, one step at a time, one forward, one backward, one Yin Yiyang is indeed extremely complicated, and everyone who watched it was dazzled and praised it one after another.

The dharma sword in the real person's hand danced faster and faster, and the three pillars of spiritual incense burned shorter and shorter with the sword dance.

When I saw the white-haired old man doing the moves, his figure was elegant and splendid, and I couldn't help asking my grandfather: "Grandpa, what kind of martial arts is this old man doing? It looks so comfortable!"

Grandpa also had a hint of admiration on his face at the moment. When he heard my words, he said with a smile: "This old Taoist is not playing martial arts, but the magic of summoning demons passed down by his ancestor of the Chunyang Palace. Tsk tsk, this Chunyang Lu Zu enshrined in the hall is a well-known sword fairy in the Taoist family, and he is respected as the sword ancestor.

"Those ghosts hooked the girl from the Zhao family's soul, making her feel like a bewitched demon. The old Taoist used a soul-suppressing talisman to subdue her soul, and then used a needle to force out the blood. Here, it is the silver drop on the plate." Blood. He uses demon blood and green snakes as a medium to arrest the goblins with Taoism, hehe, this old Taoist is still a bit of a Taoist." My grandfather took out a pipe, lit it, and took a good puff.

I looked at Grandpa in amazement, wondering how he knew so much, as if everything couldn't be hidden from him.I said excitedly: "Grandpa, will those monsters be captured? I really want to see what the monsters look like."

Grandpa blew a smoke ring into the sky, and said slowly, "Just wait and see, haha."

At this moment, a yellow talisman appeared in the hands of the real Wuwei at some point. He threw the talisman into the sky, and a sword quickly passed through the center of the talisman. When the talisman met the sword, a bunch of blue flames rose rapidly. He devoured the dao talisman full of strange runes and turned it into a pool of ashes.

Zhen Wuwei chanted complicated and awkward spells, and scattered the ashes of the Taoist talisman on the sword into the jade dish, covering the silvery white demon blood.

After all this was done, Daoist Wuwei retracted his sword and stopped, and the smoke from the three pillars of spiritual incense on the table actually moved against the wind and blew towards the direction of the back mountain.Wuwei's originally rosy cheeks turned pale at this moment, Zhao Lao Wu who was next to him hurriedly handed over a clean towel, and let the real person wipe the sweat off his face.

"Taoist, this?" Zhao Laowu asked hesitantly. He saw that after the Wuwei Daoist's ritual was done, except for the cigarette fluttering against the wind, nothing or strange things happened.

Daoist Wuwei sat on a grand teacher's chair, took a sip of the tea that Xu Wenze brought over, and did not answer Zhao Laowu's words. Instead, the little fat man Yang Kun who was waiting on the side stood up and said, "Why are you panicking? If Lingxiang finds the evildoer, he will arrest it, just wait with peace of mind, there will be nothing impossible for my master to do."

Yang Kun looked around at the crowd with an arrogant expression, and the surrounding villagers were subdued by his sharp eyes and did not dare to look at each other.When he saw my grandfather, a hint of resentment flashed in his slender eyes.I saw him looking over from the side, and I quickly stretched out my right hand and gave him a middle finger, his eyes were so angry that they almost burst into flames.

There were more and more people in the yard. The villagers in the village heard that a Taoist priest with profound Taoism came to catch the demons in the city. They all ran to Zhao Laowu's house to watch the fun, and stretched their necks to see the legendary What does the monster look like.

As time passed by, the spirit incense on the incense table burned shorter and shorter, and it was about to bottom out, and no monsters were caught.The villagers on the field began to discuss in private whether the old Taoist priest could do it, and cast doubtful eyes on the real Wuwei. Even Zhao Laowu secretly thought that he might have spent money to invite a pair of liars back. .

On the other hand, Daoist Wuwei sat firmly in the teacher's chair, savoring the fragrant tea on the teacup by himself, leisurely and leisurely, and seemed not worried at all. The little fat man Yang Kun also had a relaxed face. When he heard the surrounding villagers talk about Suddenly, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, as if he was looking at a group of ants.

"Grandpa, can this old man really catch monsters?" I waited for a long time and didn't see any monster-like creatures appearing, so I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After hearing my words, Grandpa seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face was complicated for a moment. He touched my head and said, "My dear grandson, don't panic, you will see many, many of those things in your life... ..."

Grandpa's voice became deeper and deeper, with a hint of sadness.I don't understand the meaning of my grandfather's words, and I feel quite baffled, so I will ask again.Grandpa suddenly raised his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, and said, "Here we come."

And Wuwei, who had been sitting on the grand teacher's chair with his eyes closed and meditating, opened his vicissitudes of life at this time, with a smile on his face, and looked at the door.

I heard the villagers guarding the door exclaiming, and then I saw a yellow-haired fox with a long face and fangs trotting in from outside the courtyard. Light, its small eyes were full of struggle, and its body seemed to be trembling and resisting, but it didn't work at all.There is a layer of green smoke around its body, which is the product of the three pillars of spiritual incense on the incense table, and it is this green smoke that forcibly drives the fox over.

When the fox was forced to run in front of Daoist Wuwei, the three pillars of spiritual incense had just burned to the end, and they all turned into fly ash in an instant. The blue smoke on the fox gradually dissipated without the support of the spiritual incense, but the yellow hair But the fox didn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape. Instead, he lay down on the ground and looked at Wuwei Daoist, his body trembling, and his two small eyes were full of panic and pleading.

The people around were immediately amazed. Everyone looked at the yellow-haired fox lying on the ground and pointed, but I was a little disappointed. I thought the monster was like the blue-faced and long-toothed one on TV who could talk and sorcerer. , I didn't expect it to be an ordinary yellow-haired fox. I also watched the documentary of foxes on TV "Man and Nature" before, and I feel that it is similar to ordinary cats and dogs, which is not interesting.

"Really, didn't you say that it was a snake demon who killed my daughter-in-law? Why did you recruit a yellow-haired fox?" Although Zhao Laowu is usually a rough man, he cares about his daughter-in-law very much. If something is wrong, immediately open your mouth and ask Wuwei Daoist.

snort!
Master Wuwei snorted coldly, and when he heard what Zhao Laowu said, his face looked very ugly, and he didn't answer, just took out a yellow paper talisman from his bosom and pasted it on the yellow-haired fox's forehead, the yellow-haired fox looked Although it was scared, it didn't dare to resist, and let the old Taoist stick the talisman on its head, then rolled the whites of its eyes and passed out.

"Master, this..." Yang Kun asked with some hesitation. He didn't know why the master, who had been successful in the past, didn't catch the snake demon today, but brought a fox here instead.

Master Wuwei heard his apprentice's question and saw the questioning eyes of the surrounding villagers. Even Xu Wenze and Wang Zonghan who invited him looked at him eagerly, hoping that he could give him an explanation.

The real person's face became more and more ugly, almost turning gray, he sneered and said: "That snake demon is quite capable, hmph, just wait for the poor Taoist to go up the mountain to catch it himself, and it will be regarded as a disaster for your village. As for this The yellow-haired fox is the matchmaker between the snake demon and your girl from the Zhao family."

There was an uproar in the audience, and there was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Monsters actually have matchmakers?This is simply unheard of, something that has never been seen, it is simply unacceptable for a while.

I was also a little surprised. Although I am still young, I also know that matchmakers are for matchmaking between men and women, similar to the old men in TV dramas.

I looked at my grandpa helplessly. In my opinion, the omniscient grandpa will definitely give me an explanation.Sure enough, Grandpa saw the doubt in my eyes, smiled and said: "Whoever said that monsters can't have matchmakers, according to ancient records, Nuwa prayed to the temple gods, and prayed for a female matchmaker, because of the marriage. Yin and Yang intersect between heaven and earth. Marriage is determined to be a proper marriage ceremony with a matchmaker. Having a matchmaker is the right way, and not having a matchmaker is adultery. God has a moon, and people have a matchmaker, and the demon naturally has a demon matchmaker. This fox is clever and cunning, and the most eloquent, it is the demon The best in the media."

I nodded half-understood, the image of my grandpa in my heart has grown a little taller, and I don't know where my grandpa, who has never been to school, learned this knowledge.

On the other side, Daoist Wuwei let the Zhao family accept the incense table, straightened his messy clothes, and said to the little fat man on the side: "Yang Kun, go and get the magic weapon for the master. Today I will take that Catch the evildoer and do justice for the sky, hum!"

I saw a strange light flashing in the grandfather's eyes, and he whispered, "Go, go, the Chen family has been waiting for this day for a long time..."
