Chapter Forty-Nine: The Silver Rune
Old man Jiang laughed when he heard this, touched my head and said, "What's so strange about snakes in the soil?" If you don't believe the local farmers, sometimes when you cut bamboo, you can meet a snake sleeping in an empty bamboo tube, and you don't know how they got in. It burrowed into the dirt on its own, you see. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Jiang pointed to the dirt pit for me to see, and I looked at it, didn't I? In that earthen pit, there were many long passages with potholes, and at first glance it looked like a snake arched inside.
"When it cultivates, it will enter a state similar to hibernation, and when it cultivates, it does not breathe through the mouth and nose to absorb the aura, but the body breathes through the skin, and the same is true for animal cultivation." Old man Jiang continued to explain to me.
"What? Animals are so powerful? "It's amazing for me.
"Animals are amazing? People can too! When you're in your mother's belly, do you breathe through your mouth and nose? The method of breathing in the mother's womb is the breathing realm that cultivators are most eager for. Old man Jiang sighed.
"Can people too? So, should I practice too? Does Master want to practice too? "I can't imagine a day when I don't have to breathe through my nose and mouth.
"Hehe, when you officially enter the door, you will know! Your master and I, it's the most useless thing to say, one of the veins of the mountain has fallen, and those who walk the world are people from the other four veins, alas, the middle is the most difficult to say. Old man Jiang sighed.
I didn't understand what the master said at all, but in order to save face, I still didn't know how to pretend to understand, and the result was a slap in the head.
Old man Jiang squinted his eyes and said, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, you pretend to be a baby?!" If you pretend in the future, Lao Tzu won't be able to kill you. ”
I
In this way, the master and apprentice were silent for a while, and the old man Jiang took me out of this big dirt pit, outside the dirt pit, a group of people were still waiting, and as soon as they went out, one person greeted them.
I recognized it at a glance, and the man was a soldier in the courtyard, and he seemed to be a leader.
"Master Jiang, have you decided what to do?" The man asked respectfully.
"It's decided, don't open the stone door, seal it, and then bury it, at night I once again found the souls in this yin cultivation land, broke this land, and then changed the feng shui flow of this place, and slowly dissolved the things below." Old man Jiang said calmly.
"Really don't open it and take a look?" I guess the man was also curious.
"Open? There is an evil weapon inside, and you want to open it too? It takes human life to fill it up, and curiosity can be stopped. "Old man Jiang is right.
However, what he didn't know was that when we left here, we would eventually have to open this place and experience a horror.
Old man Jiang looks obscene, and he doesn't have a proper touch, but when he is really serious, he has his own authority, he has decided to seal the stone door and not open it, and others dare not say more.
The problem is stuck on two points.
First, what is inside this stone gate? Because everyone doesn't know what the concept of an evil cultivator is?
Second, how did you seal the stone gate?
At this time, the only one who dared to ask Old Man Jiang a question was me, and sure enough, I didn't lose everyone's 'ardent' hopes, and asked at the first time: "Master, what is an evil cultivator?" Isn't there a ghost inside this stone gate? ”
"It's hard to say what is in this stone gate, but it is deliberately done like this, the most likely situation is to raise evil weapons, the right way has magic weapons, can be used as array eyes, can be used to prevent disasters for people, can do a lot of things But there is good and evil in this world, just like there is yang and yin, there are magic weapons, there are natural evil weapons that harm people, magic weapons need aura to nourish, people are the spirit of all things, and a little aura can also be warmed by a little aura on the body. But this evil weapon, you have to find a special yin and evil place to raise the weapon, and the place where the resentment is high is even better. Old man Jiang patiently replied that he always took the trouble to explain a lot to me.
"But Master, why can't the place where the evil weapon is raised be opened?"
"Why do you need to open it? The place where the evil weapon is raised, there is generally an evil energy, and the things inside are weird and extraordinary, and they always have to kill people, and if you open it, in the end, you are just looking for an evil weapon, at most it is to destroy it, if you can seal it and scatter this piece of Yin Land, isn't it the best way? No matter what time it is, you have to think about doing the best thing at the lowest cost. Among these costs, money is the least important, and which life is the most important, you know? ”
"Hmm!"
Old man Jiang's words always have a convincing force for me, and at this time, I remember that life is the most important.
"Then Master Jiang, when will you seal this stone gate?" Everyone's questions, thanks to me, have been answered, and then the leader of the courtyard finally couldn't help but speak, after all, there are so many people outside waiting to dig bamboo to earn work, and after waiting for a long time, I am afraid that rumors will spread, and it is not easy to do.
"Now!" After speaking, the old man Jiang took out something very preciously from his bag.
It was in a wooden box, rectangular, not too big, very delicately carved, and a little golden lock.
I was an illiterate guy, and I didn't understand the material of the wooden box, and it was only later that I learned that the so-called wood surface of the wooden box was made of agarwood and red sandalwood, and the small golden lock was real gold.
Old man Jiang held a small wooden box in his hand, his eyes showed a trace of remembrance and sadness, he rubbed the wooden box, and said to himself: "The things that the master left me are one less thing, I don't have the ability to make this thing, if I want to do it, I don't know if I can succeed once in a hundred times." What's even more unfortunate is that I don't have the ability to draw talismans with such a thing a hundred times, but I didn't expect that a small mountain village would let me use it. ”
Old man Jiang's words had no beginning or end, and no one could understand the whole meaning, but everyone understood two things, the first was that this thing was extremely precious, and Old Man Jiang was not able to copy it. Second, he actually mentioned his master for the first time.
These words made everyone curious about the contents of the box, and the old man Jiang rubbed the wooden box for a while, and finally twisted the small lock on the box back and forth a few times with a special technique, and opened the wooden box.
What people didn't expect was that the wooden box was also inlaid with a good white jade lining, which means that this is a jade box, with a wooden sleeve on the outside, which shows the exquisite workmanship, but the things inside are a little disappointing, because there is only one talisman inside!
But the talisman turned out to be silver.
The silver rune paper was a little dazzling in the sun, and what was even more amazing was that the bright red handwriting on it also revealed a hint of glass light, as if it was written with rubies.
Old man Jiang took out the talisman and looked at it with some reluctance, and at this time, I saw clearly the runes on the talisman, which was simply different from the ordinary talismans, it was not something similar to a word shape, but obviously a totem, and there were some incomprehensible words around it.
Of course, at that time, I didn't know what a totem was, so I thought that the thing on the talisman was a big tiger that wanted to roar the sky, but it didn't look like a tiger, I can't say what it was.
"Let this pit be dug up and the stone gate exposed." As soon as he gave the order to go down, after a while, a small group of People's Liberation Army came, picked up a shovel and began to dig a pit.
Then he instructed the people in the courtyard: "Go find some glutinous rice, freshly steamed is the best." ”
The next thing is to wait patiently, I went to pester Xiaoding with Crispy Meat, and wanted to ask people what the bamboo flute was doing, how to blow it, it was so tempting for children to drive away snakes.
But this is the secret of Xiaoding's master, how can people say it? Xiaodingren is shy, stupid, and has no way to be entangled by us, so he simply shut up, lowered his head, and held back a big red face, like a big girl.
His unscrupulous master just hehe, straight and happy, didn't relieve him at all.
After about an hour, the stone gate was completely dug out, and fresh glutinous rice was found.
