C25 Guarding the sarcophagus
After Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, the villagers around him also let out a sigh of relief and began to quietly discuss amongst themselves.
It seemed that this Taoist was at least a zhang tall and was able to suppress this mother's fiendish aura.
As Daoist Master Qingfeng spoke, his hand did not stop. He continuously measured the seven willow trees with the soft ruler in his hand.
Every time he found a spot, he would draw a mark on the ground.
After a short while, Daoist Master Qingfeng drew nine cross marks on the ground. I took a glance at the shapes of the nine cross marks.
That's right! It was the Big Dipper's ladle, but there were three additional markings on the back of the ladle. It looked a little out of place.
At this time, the village chief, who had been silent all this time, leaned over and asked Daoist Master Qingfeng:
"Dao leader, what are you doing?"
Daoist Master Qingfeng straightened his body, clapped his hands, looked at the Village Head, and said:
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Village Head, you'd better arrange for someone to go back and kill the nine chickens. Each chicken will have one raw chicken throat bone. There are nine of them in total, we need them right away!"
When the village chief heard Daoist Qingfeng's words, he immediately dispatched two men to rush back to the village to kill the chickens.
Under the current circumstances, everyone present had lost all hope, all counting on Daoist Master Qingfeng.
After confirming the nine positions of the seven trials, Daoist Master Qingfeng used a tree branch to draw a rough outline of the Qi flow. After measuring the length of the axis with each step, he made three more marks and placed a copper coin on each symbol.
After finishing all this work, Daoist Master Qingfeng wiped the sweat off his forehead, let out a long sigh, and said:
"It's finally done. Everything is ready now. All we have to do is wait for the nine raw chicken throat bones."
After about half an hour, the two of them came back on their bicycles in a hurry. They came back so soon, it seemed that they were the result of the people in the village helping to kill the chickens.
After stopping the carriage, one of the men handed a bag to Dao Master Qingfeng.
"Dao leader, there are nine raw chicken throat bones inside. Take a look."
Daoist Master Qingfeng nodded his head and accepted the bag. He glanced at the bag, then took it and walked to the Seven Stars Soul-Fixing Pile that was previously marked. A raw chicken throat was inserted into each marked ground.
After that, Daoist Qingfeng inserted a raw chicken throat bone into every place that was marked. When he inserted the last raw chicken throat bone in, something strange happened!
The sarcophagus that was bleeding slowly earlier had stopped bleeding. It seemed that Daoist Master Qingfeng had successfully cut off all the anger in the area from the sarcophagus.
Seeing that the stone coffin was no longer bleeding, Daoist Master Qingfeng looked at the crowd and said:
"It's alright. Everyone go back first. No matter what happens outside, stay at home tonight. It's best not to go out!"
"Daoist Priest, you sealed the two zombies in the sarcophagus just like that?" The villagers walked up to Daoist Master Qingfeng and asked.
"I'm only temporarily locking them up. This mother's viciousness isn't something that I can handle. I'll have to go back and find my senior sister for help now." Dao leader Qingfeng said as he looked at the sarcophagus.
When the village chief heard this, he asked with a worried expression:
"Then will we still have dead people in the village tonight?"
"That won't happen. You go back first, I'll immediately ask my senior sister for help. Just in case, just leave this sarcophagus to my disciple to watch over it." Daoist Master Qingfeng said to the village head with a calm tone.
To the side, when I heard Daoist Master Qingfeng say "Just in case, I'll leave this sarcophagus to my disciple to watch over here." He almost jumped up from the ground.
"I say, Master, you want me to guard this sarcophagus alone at night?!"
"What is it? Who else are you guarding?! Why don't I stand guard here and ask the experts for help? " Daoist Master Qingfeng said to me.
I said,
"That won't do, I firmly protest!" Previously, the inside of the sarcophagus had always been leaking blood, but now the sky is about to turn dark. Daoist Master Qingfeng doesn't know when he'll dare to come back, so he left me alone to look inside the sarcophagus with the two zombies inside.
Am I your disciple?
"It's useless to protest. How about this, you ask them who is willing to stay and watch this sarcophagus with you. I will try my best to come back before midnight." As soon as Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, the villagers who were nearby just now immediately turned around and ran, not much slower than that rabbit.
I could see that the village chief was the first to run. He was old and his legs were still as nimble as before.
F * ck! This bunch of heartless people!
"Hey, little Taoist, I'll stay and watch this sarcophagus with you!" A voice that made me feel warm came into my ear.
He raised his head and saw that it was the same farmer who had driven the donkey cart to the Bamboo Monastery with the village chief. His name was … What are you calling me? I even forgot the name of that person. I could only look at him with a smile and say,
"Big Brother, Hero, you're such a hero! This little brother truly admires you. I've made up my mind. I want to become sworn brothers with you!" I looked at the peasant and almost burst into tears.
"Little Taoist, I don't have anything, it's just that I have the courage and strength to accompany you today!" The peasant chuckled and said to me.
I nodded and couldn't help praising his actions.
This was positive energy, pure and simple.
"You guys don't need to be afraid, I've already cut off all the life around this sarcophagus. At least tonight, Mother in the sarcophagus won't be able to come out." After Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, he took out a candle the thickness of a pinky finger from his bag and handed it to me.
"You'd better take this. If something really happens to this sarcophagus, quickly light this candle. Before it burns out, I can guarantee your safety."
This is a good thing. I quickly reached for it and carefully put it in my pocket.
Then Daoist Priest Qing Feng took out two yellow talismans.
"These two are Corpse Fixation Symbol s. If you really encounter an accident, you can place this talisman on the chest of the corpse's mother. You can freeze them for a while, so you guys can take the chance to escape."
After hearing Daoist Master Qingfeng's words, I immediately started to doubt his background. This was a candle for me and a Corpse Fixation Symbol for me, it seemed like ninety-nine percent of that b * tch's fiendish demons would come out!
However, even though I wanted to, I accepted both of them. Daoist Master Qingfeng looked at me and Zhuang Zi and said with a serious expression,
"Oh, by the way, if you guys hear anything from this sarcophagus, don't be afraid. Just pretend that you can't hear anything." After saying that, he walked away with his bicycle. Before leaving, he looked back at me and asked,
"I said disciple, master will be leaving first. Do you have any last words?"
I wanted to put a brick on his shitty face!
After Daoist Master Qingfeng got on the cart and left, I looked at Big Brother, who was beside me.
"I say, big brother, what's your name? I forgot. "
"You can just call me Zhuang Zige." Zhuang Zi smiled and said to me.
"Fine, Zhuang Zige. You will stay with me and look at this sarcophagus. Are you not afraid at all?" I asked, looking at him.
After Zhuang Zige heard my words, he clapped his hands and said:
"I'm telling you the truth. Afraid! But no matter how scared I am, I can't leave a child to look after this sarcophagus.
After I heard Zhuang Zige's words, I was inexplicably touched.
"Alright, it's almost dark. We need to prepare. We need to find some firewood, light a fire, and light a fire. Firstly, we need to get rid of the mosquitoes, and secondly, we need to strengthen our courage." Zhuang Zige looked at me and suggested.
When I heard this, I immediately agreed with Zhuang Zige's suggestion. It would be nonsense to say that I am not afraid of a coffin dyed red with blood when the sky goes dark.
Zhuang Zige and I immediately started to collect dried firewood in the vicinity. The dried grass, dried leaves, birch bark, pine needle, resin and thin branches on the ground were all gathered together. Zhuang Zige also found a piece of pine bark nearby.
Just when we were busy for a long time, collecting all the flammable materials in the vicinity and preparing to light the fire, we realized that we didn't have any lighters!
Helpless, Zhuang Zige could only choose to drill wood to get the fire. It was unknown if it was because we didn't have the skills, or because the fire was a little hot, but after using a wooden stick to drill water for a long time, our hands started to froth, and no sparks came out.
Seeing the pile of firewood in front of us, Zhuang Zige and I gave up on trying to drill wood for the fire. After some discussion, Zhuang Zige told me to go back to the village to borrow a lighter and bring it back to light the fire before it completely darkened.
Hearing Zhuang Zige's suggestion, I raised my head and looked at the sarcophagus not far away, and asked him:
"Can you stay here by yourself? "No, I'll stay and watch. Go back and get your lighter." I was afraid that if Zhuang Zige stayed here by himself, he wouldn't be able to react in time. After all, I had been born from a ghost, and was chased by a hundred year old protamine. If that brat's mother really ran out from this sarcophagus, I would have had a reaction in my heart.
After the Zhuang Zige heard this, he waved his hands and said:
"You're young and you run fast. It's not even dark yet, so why can't I run by myself? Hurry up and go back. If you don't, the sky will really get dark. "
I said a few more words, but really couldn't change Zhuang Zige's mind. I had no choice but to give Dao Master Qingfeng's candle to me. Just in case, I ran towards the village on my own.
The road wasn't too far away, but it was hard to walk through the countryside. There were some areas where the grass and rocks were wild, and by the time I got back to the village, the sky was already starting to darken.
