Chapter 706: Conjuring
"Huh?"
In a brightly lit hall, an altar was placed directly opposite the door.
This altar has a total of three layers, the first layer of the highest place, is not dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva or Buddha or the like, but stands on three tablet seats, and the handwriting of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing is written on the cards with blood-red cinnabar.
Behind the tablet, there is also a red paper that is as wide as the altar and the same height, but there are some words written on it with a brush, looking at the handwriting, but it is the same as the one on the card, which is obviously from the hand of one person.
On the second floor, there are three oil lamps.
The third and final floor, which is wider, is filled with offerings and incense burners.
In Taoism, these three oil lamps are called life lamps, and the most important thing is that they can use this oil lamp to withstand a fatal blow, and the additional effect is that people can intuitively see the life and death of the person to whom the oil lamp belongs.
As the saying goes, when the oil runs out and the lamp withers, the lamp goes out when the person dies, and once the oil lamp dies without wind, it is equivalent to the death of the person.
And now, a middle-aged man had just lit three sticks of incense and was about to salute, when he suddenly saw the oil lamp on the far right flicker, and then went out.
Then he let out a startled sound.
"Ah Shu is dead?!"
If it is only a fatal attack, then the oil lamp will not go out, but will become the size of a bean, and it will take a while to recover, and once the oil lamp is extinguished, it is equivalent to death.
"Who?!" The middle-aged man clenched his fists and slammed his fist on the altar with a thud.
"By the way, someone came from Asan City recently, and Ah Shu said that he was going to catch a big fish, could it be that he encountered a strong enemy?" The more the middle-aged man thought about it, the more likely this was possible, and immediately entered the house, and after a while, he came out, although he had not changed his clothes, but he was carrying a bulging yellow cloth belt, which looked like it was loaded with a lot of things.
He went straight out of the gate, and soon the sound of a car engine could be heard from the courtyard, and in a short time he was gone.
Although Ah Shu did not explain where he set the trap, the middle-aged man had his own secret technique to search for Ah Shu's breath.
Soon after, the middle-aged man came to the street where Wang Xiaoyue was trapped.
The streets were full of people and traffic, and there was no sign of it.
After he found a parking space, he came to the street, holding a palm-sized compass in his hand, and while walking, he checked the compass from time to time, and then, as if he was guided by some kind of guidance, he came step by step to the alley where Wang Xiaoyue was kicked away.
This alley is a gap between two high-rise buildings, more than a meter wide, and the nearby lights can only shine obliquely into the vicinity of the alley entrance, and then inside, you can see the light on the opposite side, but in the middle, it is dim.
However, the middle-aged man stood at the mouth of the alley, looked at the compass in his hand, and his brow furrowed like a small hill.
In his hand, the hands of the compass turned like a windmill, and the situation was obviously abnormal.
"Why is this happening?"
The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, although there were traces of someone rolling and rubbing on the ground, it didn't look like there was any fierce battle.
Not only that, but the compass also began to fail after coming here, was it interfered with by some kind of force?
Anyway, let's find Ah Shu's soul first.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man didn't care about the pedestrians coming and going on the street behind him, he directly squatted down, and then took things out of the cloth belt he was carrying in turn.
A small incense burner, incense, white candles, and a small paper figure with Ah Shu's full name and birth date written on it.
After arranging these, there happened to be some sand at the edge of the alley, so I filled some with a small incense burner, and after almost the mouth was flat, two white candles and three incense sticks were lit.
The white candle was first inserted on the ground, then stood up, took the three incense sticks in his hand, held it high above his head, lowered his head, and chanted the words that he couldn't hear for a while, and then bowed three times and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
In this process, some passers-by saw this scene, and they were a little curious at first, but after seeing it clearly, although they didn't know what the middle-aged man was doing, they all showed a frightened look and left one after another.
The middle-aged man didn't care about it, and half-squatted down, holding a small paper figure in one hand, and pinching a Taoist handprint with the other hand, pointing it on his forehead, and reading in his mouth: "Disciple Liu Aqi, worship Wang Ashu, the lights are extinguished when people die, and the soul does not return home, now please open the way, Wang Ashu will return when he sees the road......"
The thought of this was followed by a vague incantation, and the echo of the sound in the alley gave people an ethereal feeling.
The small paper figure with Wang Ashu's name and birth date written on it spontaneously combusted without fire, and the fire was not ordinary red, but gloomy and green.
As the strange green fire burned, a gust of yin wind rolled up for no reason, making a whirring sound, like a ghost crying wolf.
However, after the gust of wind blew for a while, it quickly subsided.
"Huh?!" Liu Aqi stopped chanting the mantra and opened his eyes, revealing a look of disbelief.
"The soul is gone...... Why is this happening? Was it taken away? Impossible! ”
After death, as long as the soul of a person does not become a ghost, then it is not said that it can be taken away, but it can only be set up on an altar to summon the soul.
But now, not to mention Wang Ashu's corpse, even the soul is gone, no wonder Liu Aqi is so shocked, this is something that has never been encountered.
After a while, the shocked expression on his face gradually converged, turned into anger, and slammed his fist on the ground, saying, "No matter what, there is a chance that this matter has nothing to do with those people in Asan City!" I can't spare you! ”
After speaking, he swept the white candles on the ground, poured the sand in the small incense burner and the three incense sticks inserted in it on the ground, and then put them into the cloth bag, got up and left quickly.
All that remained were the three incense sticks that had not yet burned out, and the candles that were gradually extinguishing after falling to the ground.
As the flames went out, a faint green smoke rose, as if to prove that the two candles had burned.
…………
"Why are you so careless? Look at the clothes, they are as if they were rolling in the mud! …… It's such a big person, can you still wrestle while walking? ”
“…… It's slippery. Wang Xiaoyue cautiously defended.
"Then don't go where the ground is slippery! Did you see something again, and you ran to those corners? Without waiting for Wang Xiaoyue to argue, Wang's mother continued: "You have to pay attention to those dirty things!" If you touch them, they'll haunt you! ”
"Mom, I'm sorry." Wang Xiaoyue couldn't say that she was a more serious matter this time, so she could only apologize innocently.
"I know to say I'm sorry, don't do it again next time!"
After Mother Wang finished yelling, she couldn't help sighing, showing a helpless expression, and said, "I think you can't change this problem...... You'd better go to the East Soul Academy! Rather than not knowing anything and being inexplicable, it is better to concentrate on learning for a while. ”
Wang's mother is still very open-minded, otherwise when Asan City could let people travel, she would not be the first batch of parents to take Wang Xiaoyue to play.
She knows that the more mysterious things are, the more she has to understand, and the more thoroughly she understands them, the more she understands them, so that she will not be afraid and know what to do.
Wang Xiaoyue was born too inspired, and because she couldn't control it, she encountered all kinds of things that couldn't be explained by science since she was a child.
Can you imagine how tired it would be to be her parents? Fortunately, when I was more than seven years old, when I went to Baimeiling to climb the mountain, I met a fairy woman named Liu Taihui, she saw Wang Xiaoyue's problem at a glance, and I don't know what method was used to weaken Wang Xiaoyue's effect of attracting ghosts, so that Wang Xiaoyue can live peacefully until now.
From that day on, Wang's mother and Wang's father understood that science could no longer explain this kind of thing, but the two did not say anything, but just acquiesced to each other, until the news of Asan City spread throughout the country, and the two were both happy and worried in their hearts.
Happily, Wang Xiaoyue is not lonely, I am afraid that there are many people like her in the country who are born with strong inspiration, and the change in Asan City is equivalent to making everyone accept that there are ghosts in the world, instead of waiting for Wang Xiaoyue to be exposed, and then being excluded.
As for worry, naturally, just like all ordinary people, the originally good scientific world suddenly ran out of ghosts, something that science can't explain, which is equivalent to breaking everyone's worldview, and naturally worrying about how to survive in this world in the future.
But fortunately, according to the current situation, although there have been changes, the changes are not too big, and most of them are under the control of the government.
This can be seen from the fact that Asan Fantasy has the first ratings in the country, and it is really scientific for a long time, and suddenly encountering unscientific things, so everyone's enthusiasm is very high.
Their family has Wang Xiaoyue's daughter, in addition to watching the news at a fixed time, she watches this station every day, and gradually understands more, and gradually lets go of the worries in her heart.
However, I thought that life would continue like this, but it wasn't until yesterday that the two specially recruited teachers from the East Soul Academy came to the house, and Wang's father and Wang's mother realized that their daughter's extraordinary, and it was definitely impossible for the special recruitment teacher to come to the door in person.
After all, the other party said that because it is the first batch of students, how to teach is still in the exploration stage, so this first batch of students is not going to recruit much, about two hundred, and it is also given priority to those who have talents, and then gradually expand to ordinary people depending on the situation in the future.
To put it simply, this special move is experimental in nature, if Wang Xiaoyue goes to the East Soul Academy, it will be equal to the first batch of experimenters, but this is not to say that the experimenters are not good, if you look at it from another aspect, it will be beneficial.
For example, if the number of teachers is small, the teacher will be able to have more equity owners. Second, although the first batch of students is experimental teaching, it also means that the intensity of learning methods will be very high, and if they successfully graduate, they will definitely not worry about work.
