After eating, it was already afternoon, and the morning was busy, and it passed in an instant. I set up a shelf, tied the smooth straw to it, and finally pulled out my head and limbs, and it took about half an hour to tie up a straw man more than one person high. At this moment, the master prepared everything and said to me: "Let's go to Niutun after the straw man is tied, the old pig fairy doesn't have to go, tonight the demon will be crazy looking for the living to absorb the essence, you better stay at home and take care of your younger siblings." ”

"But......" The old pig fairy seemed to be a little worried about us going, because I saw his eyes staring directly at the nine-trick sword in the master's hand, which was a sword of the most yin and evil, and it was sealed with the old pig fairy's nine natal spirit yuan, although it can kill demons and subdue demons, but the damage to oneself is also great, and looked at his beautiful wife, the old pig fairy had to say to me: "Ergou, you have to have more eyes!" ”

Although the old pig fairy didn't say it explicitly, I still understood what he meant, he wanted to say that if I could kill that demon, I must not let the master use the Nine Tricks Sword of the Most Yin and the Evil. I immediately nodded heavily: "I made a note of it, I will do my best!" ”

Master had already walked outside the gate at this moment, turned back to me and shouted, "Don't play dumb riddles, Ergou, let's go!" ”

After bidding farewell to the old pig fairy, I followed the master to Niutun.

It was nearly evening, but the cow was empty. And you can see that at the gate of every house, there is a charm to ward off evil spirits, which is the result of the busy work of the master and the old pig fairy in the morning. It's not empty, because we saw the village chief cow, waving desperately to us in the distance! When we walked up, Village Chief Niu said anxiously: "Mr. Yang, now that my family has crowded into the neighbor's house, you have to kill that goblin tonight no matter what!" Otherwise, we people will suffer...... You see that every household has closed its doors early, and no one dares to take a step out of the door, alas! ”

Master comforted: "Village Chief Niu, don't worry, I will try my best to get rid of that demon tonight, so that Niutun can return to normal life as soon as possible!" ”

"Good!" Village Chief Niu nodded again and again, pointed to a house in front of him, and said to the master: "That's my house, you go by yourself, I have to hide as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, the village chief Niu was gone. I carried the straw man on my back and quickly followed the master to the courtyard of the cow village chief. This Niu village chief's family is relatively wealthy in Niutun. The courtyard of the four large houses with blue bricks and red tiles is also very spacious and tidy, and the vegetable garden and garden are all well trimmed. Walking in the meantime, you can clearly feel that this family is a prosperous family.

The master didn't have so much nonsense, and as soon as he entered the hall, he said, "Ergou, go find a piece of clothing and come over, put the straw man on, and then put the door on the latch." We're in this courtyard tonight, and we're going to get rid of that demon!" ”

I still don't understand why Master made this straw man look like a real person, but I know that I can't ask what I shouldn't ask, so I have to do it. looked around, but took out the clothes and pants that the village chief had changed with him and put them on the straw man. At this time, the master also lit three pillars of incense in front of the divine case and announced to the gods of heaven and earth.

Seeing that I had cleaned up the straw man, Master nodded and said, "Place this straw figure in this hall, and the door will not have to be closed. ”

When I set up the straw figures, I asked with some confusion, "Master, why are you doing this?" ”

Master explained, "Tonight, our master and apprentice will also hide in the inner room, and the popularity that we exude will also be smelled by the demon, so in order to prevent the demon from coming straight to us, we ignore the straw man, and we must let the demon see the straw man at first sight, not us." Once that demon attacks the grass man first, we can rush forward and destroy it in one fell swoop! ”

"But this straw man is not a real person, is the demon so easy to deceive?" I smacked my lips.

The master nodded and said, "The demon wants a person, and he will give it a person as a teacher, of course, this straw man will be an ordinary straw man in our eyes at that time, but in the eyes of the demon and evil, it is a big living person who is alive and kicking." It's just that the teacher now wants to add a soul to this straw man, this soul is an illusion, enough to confuse the demon, it is now greatly injured, and it did not fill the vitality last night, tonight it will be crazy to find someone to absorb the essence. As long as it sees that there is someone here, it doesn't have that much time to tell if this person is real or fake! ”

I scratched my forehead, looked at the straw man again, and hurriedly asked, "Master, can a straw man also have a soul?" ”

Master immediately glared at me and said, "It's all an illusion to tell you, but if it's a chance encounter, the straw man can also cultivate into refinement." Of course, the prerequisites are very difficult, there must be human eyes, mouth, nose and limbs, and then a drop of human essence and blood, and then absorb the essence of the sun and the moon for decades or even hundreds of years, you will have your own spirituality, and in a few hundred years, you will be able to cultivate and change like those animal spirits. For the teacher, you have to use a 'substitute body', which is a kind of blinding method in Maoshan art, which can confuse those demons and ghosts. This method is often used to save lives and get out, but tonight we will use this substitute to get rid of the demon! ”

"Stand-in?" It seemed to be the first time I had heard of such a spell, and I couldn't help but stand aside with curiosity and watch the master cast the spell.

Master looked up and looked outside until the sun was completely gone, night fell, and there was a period of darkness in the sky between the setting of the sun and the appearance of the moon. Almost as dark as before dawn, I lit the candle, and Master returned to the shrine, pinching his sword and pointing at the pen and ink on the table, and said urgently: "When the sun shines, the yin ghost should be destroyed." God Zhu tomorrow, nine dew is too slight. What I have turned into now is all evil. Seven Qi into a fight, three Qi into a platform. Two-star cave photo, Fu to speed chase. The pen is the sword, and the ink is the halberd. The inkstone is the dragon pool, and the zhu is the hundred medicines. The pen rule is sick, and the book seal is practiced everywhere, and all evils are lurking. Haste as a law! ”

As soon as the incantation stopped, the master picked up the brush casually, lit some cinnabar, turned to the straw man, first dotted it on the straw man's head and drew it, and said urgently: "Taiwei Danshu, the name is enlightened." To the soul of the sun, to transform into a certain form. Strict makeup on weekdays, from Xuanxuan. Ting Fei Hua Shui, Rigen Gold Essence. Purple reflection streamer, called five spirits. Haste as a law! ”

"This is the soul of the sun!" After the master finished drawing, he bent over the stomach of the straw man and drew again, and said urgently: "Purple and yellow book, the name is Taixuan." Scattered moon and water, nourishing the soul and soul. Fang Zhong is strict, from the entrance. Hidden Moon, Lady of the Five Spirits. Flying light nine ways, reflecting the mud pills. Haste as a law! ”

"This is the awakening of the moon!"

After the spell was drawn, the master came to the front of the god case, clicked a little cinnabar, and came behind the straw man with another arrow, and said urgently at the same time: "Jiuyao helps mourning, Zhenqi changes clothes." Four o'clock guard, five latitudes. Qi points Luo Qi, color collection Xuanwei. Liuhe supports, and the three Qi are subtle. It's really rejuvenated, and the fairies fly together. The crown of the cloud chapter is a strict and clean heavenly machine. Yuanhua Suming, the beginning of the sorrow! ”

"This is a disguised adult!"

After drawing the last spell, the master turned around abruptly and put down the brush, stretched out his hand and bit his fingers, and immediately came to the straw man, and made a mark on the straw man with blood from head to toe, and then pinched the sword and pointed upward, shouting, "Get up! ”

I saw that the straw man I placed on the table stood up straight after the master gave an order!

I opened my mouth, I could hardly believe my eyes, a straw man, it seemed to have life in an instant, my heart couldn't help trembling, hurriedly took a few steps back, I didn't think the straw man had anything, but at the moment, I felt more and more that this straw man was a little crazy......
