Chapter 81 Tengu Eating the Sun
According to folk legend, water ghosts are souls left by people who die accidentally or commit suicide in the water and cannot be reincarnated. They must find a scapegoat to be reincarnated.
In fact, Chen Qiusheng has read "The Record of the Hundred Ghosts of Maoshan" these days and said that the water ghost is not a ghost, but is actually a monster. It looks similar to a 3-4-year-old child, but its body is covered with hard scales that cannot be penetrated by even bows and arrows. Usually, the whole body dives into the water, revealing only the tiger claw-like knees on the water surface. It has the beak of a bird, the limbs of a frog, the monkey's body, the turtle's shell, and the tiger claw-like knees, like a complex of multiple animals.
There are several other names for water ghosts: water monkey, water tiger, and... Kappa!
Here I want to say that Kappa is a monster in China, but when it was passed on to Japan (the little one here refers to the country and does not involve any political stance), it has become a god that many people believe in. Well, not only Kappa, but in fact, many gods worshipped by Japan are all vicious monsters, which is really hard to understand...
Of course, it is not ruled out that the ghost who is evil in the water after death is called a water ghost. However, that one is easier to deal with than this water ghost. As long as you know his birth name, you can restrain your soul. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. As long as you know the place where he is buried, there are at least a hundred ways to clean it up, and you don’t have to do great rituals at all.
"The river demon of the pagoda!" After Uncle Jiu cleared the iron tower, he shouted and knocked the pagoda heavily to the altar.
"Bang..." The pagoda fell on the altar, and waves appeared somewhere on the river for no reason, and a black shadow passed by.
——Since the water ghost is a monster, the river-suppressing demon of the pagoda has had a certain impact on it and aroused its resistance.
“Buzz buzz…”
The iron tower trembled wildly on the altar, but this temporary pagoda could not stand the river demon.
"Destiny!" Uncle Jiu made a seal and designated a pagoda with the Dow Jones. The amplitude of the pagoda's trembling was immediately weakened a lot.
"Put the talisman rope and trap the water ghost!" Uncle Jiu said with some effort. It seems that casting a magic trick is very laborious. It is better to set up an altar on a high place, if it is on a flat ground.
This cannot be said that Uncle Jiu is not as good as the water ghost, but he is practicing the law from a distance, and he suffers a lot of his magic power for no reason.
Chen Qiusheng and Wencai had been ordered by Uncle Jiu. Hearing this, he immediately stepped forward. One of them picked up a pair of bows and ran to both sides of the waves. Ten meters apart, picked up the headless arrow with a talisman rope tied to the tail, put it on the bow, aiming at the other side.
The bow is two stone bows, which requires ninety kilograms of force to pull, and the range is 250 meters - of course, no matter whether it is accurate, Chen Qiusheng is a little hard to pull, while Wencai used his strength to pull the bow full.
"Bang! Bang!" The bow was full of the moon, but when he heard two bows, the arrows flew towards the opposite bank with a talisman rope, like a stunning rainbow, floating on the river.
The range of the bow and arrow was 25 years old. Even with the talisman rope as thick as chopsticks, it successfully flew over the river surface fifty meters wide and was caught by people on the other side.
The people on both sides grabbed the ends of the rope and tied it parallel to the trees on the shore. Under the action of the talisman rope, the water ghost who was suppressed by Uncle Jiu with the pagoda was blocked between them by two circles.
"Bang bang..." After banning the water ghost circle in a certain area, Uncle Jiu relaxed a little, and the pagoda suddenly jumped and fell down.
"Uncle Jiu..." Seeing the pagoda falling to the ground, Mayor Liu's expression changed and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's okay, there is a talisman rope, it can't escape!" Uncle Jiu waved his hand and walked between the two ropes with his gossip mirror, and said to everyone: "Move the altar and the talisman banner!"
Immediately someone moved the altar and the talisman. Uncle Jiu drew a demon-slaying talisman in the Bagua Mirror, looked up at the position of the sun, and placed it diagonally on the altar, and a golden light shot straight into the water.
"Wow..." A black shadow swam rapidly on the water surface, and the water splashed and rustled. Obviously, the sunlight reflected by the gossip mirror of the demon-slaying talisman was painted, which made the water ghost feel very unhappy.
The water ghost was about to slid downstream, but the 150 demon-slaying talismans on the talisman rope lit upwards, and he screamed and swam upstream.
The water ghost was in the water, and it was very fast. It was four or five meters in a flash. It was about to cross the talisman rope. The runes on the rope shone again and shook them back.
"Squeak..." The water ghost made a monkey-like cry and swam quickly towards the other side. The splashes surged, and it was four or five meters in an instant.
"Hu..." The opposite side should have been prepared. When the water ghost was about to get ashore, someone squatted down on the other side, and then flames rose on the ground, and the water ghost immediately stopped.
Water ghosts are monsters in the water, and their most feared is fire!
"Go to the mirror!" Uncle Jiu shouted, and the dozens of big men in red clothes and talismans on their chests immediately stepped forward, one of whom held a mirror and reflected the sunlight on the huge talisman cloth.
The sun shines everywhere, and in an instant, the talisman becomes golden and bright. The sunlight passes through the talisman and becomes bright, spreading across the water surface, covering the entire water ghost.
"Squeak..."
The sunlight passed by the talisman, but it brought the power to exorcise evil spirits and slash demons. When the water ghost was shining, it immediately roared sharply. It tried to break through the fire wall several times, but its fear of fire made it retract back into the water every time it was about to get ashore.
This water ghost can arrange ghosts to hit walls, and his Taoism is obviously not low. Although his power has been greatly reduced during the day, his wisdom is still there and he dare not face the flames, so he chose to break through from the other side, Uncle Jiu of Hard Drive!
The water ghost screamed twice, turned over suddenly, swam towards this side at a very fast speed. Uncle Jiu seemed to have expected that the money sword appeared in his hand, and Chen Qiusheng also pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Uncle Jiu tied his sword finger with his left hand, bit his middle finger in one bite, and grabbed the incense in his hand with his bleeding left hand.
"The blood in front of the altar is used to nourish the sword god, eliminate demons and kill demons without mercy! Hard!" Uncle Jiu grabbed Xianghua and recited a spell, put the money sword on the incense, absorbed the power of incense, and then threw the incense ash dyed with the blood of the mage toward the sword body.
"Hu..." Uncle Jiu must have been transported to the Samadhi True Fire. With the blood-stained ash, he turned into thick smoke and fire, covering the money sword.
The thick smoke and fire flashed in a flash, and the Samadhi True Fire, stained by the incense of Dharma Blood, immediately became bright and shining with purple-red light, but it had the quality of a magic weapon.
Uncle Jiu was about to use his sword to promote the money sword, but the world suddenly became dark. Uncle Jiu looked up and saw a black shadow covering the corner of the sun and expanding.
"Tiangou Food Sun!" Uncle Jiu's face changed. He was about to use his flying sword to fight quickly, but the water ghost had already drilled into the water. It seemed that it had also discovered the changes in the celestial phenomena and was about to wait for the total solar eclipse, and there was no sunlight. When the talisman banner failed, it would break through again.
At that time, not only the talisman banner was ineffective, but the world was dark and the yin energy would inevitably be strong. At that time, the Tao would eliminate the demons and rise, and it was the time when its fierce ghosts came out of the cage!
"How could this happen?" Uncle Jiu frowned. He had clearly calculated that today was an auspicious day to kill evil and subjugate demons. How could he encounter a day like the Tiangou Food Day that is rare in hundreds of years?
