Chapter 72 Bing Qi borrows the moon
The man's upper body was obscured by willow branches, and only one pair of legs could be seen.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Feng asked.
I pointed to the other side, put a trumpet on my mouth with my hand, and said "Hey" to the man. The man shook his head and then disappeared.
"Maybe it's that old fox..." I muttered.
"Ignore him for now, let's go."
Xiangfeng and I went down the embankment, and not far along the road, we met a man carrying a chopping net. The man looked at us up and down, and was about to go around us, but I blocked him in a flash.
The man was startled, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't go to the reservoir, there are no fish in it."
The man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Oh, I'll know if there are any fish if I go over there and see..."
Going around again, I took a step back, turned aside, and blocked him again.
"Hey, I said there's something wrong with you, get out of the way!"
"There are ghosts in the reservoir, don't go there, it's dangerous."
"I think it's just you who has a ghost. The reservoir doesn't belong to your family. Why can't I go?!"
The man was quite tall, thick and strong. He put the chopping net on the ground and looked at me sideways.
"It's for your own good that I won't let you go," Xiang Feng said.
"It's his grandma's, and it's for my own good. There must be fish in it. Your people are fishing there, so you deliberately blocked others from fishing. Get out of the way! ... Oops? Do you two bastards want to fight?"
"Fight?" I smiled.
Xiang Feng snorted and kicked a willow tree by the roadside. The tree was as thick as an adult's waist. It was violently shaken by Xiang Feng's kick, and the leaves fluttered.
Falling down. The man opened his mouth and looked at the tree, then at Xiangfeng, turned around and left cursing.
"Oh, it seems like I'm lying to him. He has to be a little hard." I shook my head.
"Well, Aleng, you go buy the things you need to cast the spell, and I'll guard the reservoir to stop these fishermen."
I thought about it and said, "Okay, otherwise if someone accidentally falls into the water again, we will be in big trouble."
It's not yet noon, and I have to cast the spell at night, so I have plenty of time. I went to the hotel first. Miss Bai and the others had gone shopping, and only Yang Shujun was sitting leisurely in the room drinking beer. Gao, Laosan, and the others were all alone.
He had already checked out and left, and Gao Fusheng and his wife also left.
"Uncle Yang, didn't the old fox tell you about the things in the reservoir?" I asked.
"That thing in the reservoir?" Yang Shujun took a sip of his beer, "No, the main thing is that the fox guy goes out every night and sleeps during the day. He doesn't have much time to talk to me. I pestered him to the end to trick you out.
Talk about those things about him."
I sighed, "It would be nice if you could come up with more tricks."
Yang Shujun smiled "hehe" and said, "If you had found me a few days later, I would have been able to ask a lot of questions."
"So, it's our fault? How about I send you back again?"
"Hey, no, no, come on, let me have a drink with uncle before we go buy those things."
With that said, Yang Shujun opened a can of beer and handed it to me. I took it and took a few sips when Miss Bai and the others came back.
I told them about my previous experience at the reservoir.
"I'll buy whatever you need. You must be very tired from running around these days. Take a good rest." Miss Bai said softly.
"Look how nice they are to you." Wei Niuniu pushed me.
"Poor Ah Feng is alone at the reservoir. That thing is so powerful, will something happen to him?" Little Tutu asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'm just worried that another girl will fall in love with him and harass him. If he gets kidnapped, I'll be in trouble. Oh, who made me, Junior Brother Feng, so handsome?"
"You will scare and bully Tutu." Wei Niuniu said.
I smiled "haha". The girls decided on the division of labor. Wei Niuniu and Miss Bai went to buy magic tools, and Xiao Tutu bought lunch to give to A Feng. The three of them left separately.
I was really exhausted. I didn't sleep well for several days. I ate something in a hurry, drank two cans of beer, fell on the bed and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already dusk. I opened the window and saw the cool breeze.
The wind blows against my face, looking outside
, an old tree swayed its branches, and from time to time dead leaves would spin and fall from the tree. A few birds squatted on the roof opposite, chirping and picking their feathers. This town is really good, quiet and simple, suitable for
Cultivate your character.
Miss Bai has already bought things for casting spells. In addition to chicken blood, rope, incense ash, etc., there is also a small table for setting up the altar.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Miss Bai asked.
"No need." I smiled slightly.
"A Leng, pay attention to safety." Xiao Tutu said.
"Are you worried about me, or A Feng?"
"I..." Little Tutu hummed, "Do you smell good? Of course I'm worried about Ah Feng..."
After coming out of the hotel, I put my things on the ground and stretched my limbs. I felt full of energy and had endless strength. When I arrived at the reservoir dam, it was already dark. No one came to fish in the afternoon, and Xiangfeng didn't
I leaned against the willow tree and slept for a while. I took out the dried meat and beer, and while eating and drinking with Xiang Feng, we quietly waited for the opportunity.
It was a very clear night. The crescent moon hung in the distance, rising higher and higher. A few white clouds moved slowly in the night sky, constantly changing their shapes.
I stared at the reservoir water, sipping the beer in small sips, and thoughts in my mind. The night was getting darker and the chill was getting heavier and heavier. Xiangfeng looked at his watch, drank the beer in the can in two gulps, and stood up with a sigh.
Got up.
"It's almost time, let's start preparing."
I opened the small bucket and poured the chicken blood inside into a large bowl. The chicken blood was mixed with alcohol, so it would not solidify, but the smell was very pungent. Xiang Feng grabbed a handful of incense ash, sprinkled it into the bowl, and folded it.
Cut off willow branches, stir the chicken blood and incense ash evenly, roll the wool ropes into balls, and throw them into the bowl.
Xiangfeng kept poking the wool ball with willow branches so that the chicken blood could be completely soaked into it.
"Ah Leng, let's calculate Tianpan Bingqi's fate." Xiang Feng said.
"Um."
I calculated with my fingers that at this time, Bingqi was in the ninth palace, which is due south.
Xiang Feng looked south and said, "Let's go there."
Xiangfeng walked in front holding a bowl, and I followed behind, arriving at an open area on the dam on the south bank of the reservoir.
The embankment had been stepped on very hard and looked bare under the moonlight. Xiang Feng placed the bowl on the ground, took out a piece of yellow paper, wrote the word 'C' in the middle with a cinnabar pen, shook it a few times, and waited.
After the writing is dry, lay the yellow paper flat on the ground.
I seemed to understand what Xiang Feng was going to do, "You want to..."
"Absorb the moonlight." Xiang Feng said.
The paulownia wood yin talisman used for predicting tsunamis was put in the yard to dry every midnight on a full moon night. In fact, it was to let it absorb the moonlight. Of course, it was not placed randomly. It had to be calculated according to the weather.
Pan Bingqi is placed in the palace, and then placed in the courtyard where Bingqi's palace is. In the Faqi Gate, Bing is the wonder of the moon, and the moonlight is the strongest in the place where Bingqi is placed in the palace.
Taoism and Qimen are inextricably linked. Taoism has outer elixirs and inner elixirs. The so-called outer elixirs are the elixirs refined in alchemy furnaces. Inner elixirs are actually a kind of 'qi'. Some people practice inner elixirs.
Taoist priests often sit in the courtyard at night when the moon is bright and the wind is clear, breathing and absorbing the moonlight. The position where they sit is the 'Bingqi position'...
At this time, the ball of wool was completely soaked with chicken blood. Xiangfeng carefully picked it up with a willow branch and shook it up and down. After the chicken blood stopped dripping down, Xiangfeng placed it on the table.
Then, he took out four sticks of incense toward the wind, lit them, and inserted them into the four corners of the yellow paper.
I stepped aside and watched quietly. Xiangfeng took out a 'Bingqi Talisman' from his pocket, sat cross-legged on the north side of the yellow paper, pinched the talisman in one hand, held the talisman in the other, and muttered something.
The smoke pillars of the four incense sticks were blown back and forth on his face by the wind.
After about five or six minutes, Xiang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, shook his right hand suddenly, and the 'Bingqi Talisman' suddenly became straight. Xiang Feng placed the talisman paper flatly on top of the yellow paper.
Pointing his left hand at the talisman paper, he shouted low, and a magical scene happened...The talisman paper suddenly became transparent, and the moonlight penetrated the talisman paper and shone on the ball of wool...
That's right, it's moonlight! The moonlight was 'borrowed' from Xiang Feng's spell! I stared at this magical scene with my eyes wide open. I wonder when this guy practiced this kind of spell...
The moonlight passed through the talisman paper, shining brightly and dimly on the ball of wool. After about three or four minutes, Xiang Feng flicked his wrist, the talisman paper returned to its normal appearance, and the moonlight disappeared.
"When did you learn this kind of magic?" I asked.
Xiang Feng stood up and smiled slightly, "My master taught me before I came here. I will teach you then. Let's go, A Leng, you are better at arithmetic than me. Let's calculate the fate of Dipan Gui."
I counted it with my fingers and found that it was due north.
"Don't you want to set up an altar at the door of death?" I asked. Generally, the altar that attracts evil spirits is set up at the door of death.
"No, use a dragnet." Xiang Feng said.
"Dragnet?"
"Yes." Xiang Feng looked at the night sky and whispered, "I just realized at this moment that Master calculated that something extraordinary was going to be born here in Qingshi Town, so he passed on the two spells of Bingqi Borrowing the Moon and the Dragnet.
He gave it to me, and then asked me to travel with Xiao Tutu and the others. Dealing with this thing may be because it involves a secret, so the master cannot tell me clearly..."
"Are these two spells passed on to you by your master before you came here?"
"That's right." Xiangfeng looked at me and pointed toward the reservoir, "I seem to understand what happened to the 'air wall' in the water."
"What's going on?" I asked.
Xiang Feng continued to look at the night sky, "You must have heard of the legend of Pangu, right?"
"certainly."
"Before Pangu was born, he slept in a chaotic air mass."
"You mean?"
