Chapter 116 Shadow in the Mirror
Chapter 116: The shadow in the mirror
"The chicken is the deformation of the divine beast Chongming bird. Chongming can drive away all evil spirits, such as jackals, tigers, leopards, monsters, ghosts, etc. The ancients also called it the bird of the Five Virtues." Jiang Qiyun held my hand and took me inside.
A passerby saw me slightly open his hand, tilting his head and talking to himself outside the hospital wall, looking at me with a look of "Good Girl is actually having a brain problem".
I'm used to it, and it doesn't matter if I think it's a mental illness. It's rare that Jiang Qiyun can talk to me calmly.
"What is the bird of the five virtues?"
"That is, it has a crown on its head, which is a literary virtue; it has a distance behind its feet, and a sharp mouth like a knife, which is a martial virtue; it dares to fight in front of it, which is a brave virtue; it has food to greet the same kind, which is a kind virtue; it is a vigilance without losing the night, and the dawn of the sky is a faith virtue... Therefore, some people raise this kind of rooster with special methods, which is a powerful tool to ward off evil spirits."
It turns out that these big roosters are magic weapons raised by mages who are good at this. They feed on centipedes, and centipedes can use medicine to relieve wind and suppress spasms, attack poison and disperse knots, unblock collaterals and relieve pain, so these big roosters are not afraid of sinister corpse poison.
When I arrived at my dad's ward, my brother and Cheng Banxian were already decorating things.
"You two go to sit outside. If a nurse comes in, stop her. If the nurse finds that we are engaged in this feudal superstition in the hospital, maybe we will ask the security guard to throw us out." My brother bared at me.
Jiang Qiyun said lightly: "Just set up a barrier, how long will it take for you?"
"One hour is enough."
I sat on a chair in the outside room and saw Jiang Qiyun drawing talismans behind the door. My brother and Cheng Banxian were also busy. I was just an idle person and couldn't help even if I wanted to.
Cheng Banxian dragged a large suitcase, and he took out a few velvet-wrapped mirrors from it and laid it in the room under my dad's hospital bed.
Then he took out a pack of small wooden men, each of whom meditated cross-legged, with red paint on his face and eyebrows, looking smiling and kind.
These little wooden men were placing around my dad’s hospital bed.
He took out a bag of small wooden men, which looked exactly the same as before, but his face was covered with black paint, his eyes and lips were all turned down, looking angry and depressed, and he was a little inexplicably fierce.
He placed these little black people with their heads facing down on the mirror under the bed, and stood upside down one by one, like a reflection.
I looked at the inverted black wooden man with a fierce look and swayed slightly. I suddenly had goose bumps and my scalp was numb and took a few steps back.
Cheng Banxian looked up at me and smiled meaningfully, "Your physique is indeed special, you can actually feel the ferocious aura on it..."
"You, don't you want to exorcise evil spirits? Why do you still use such vicious things?" I asked worriedly.
"You will know in a while." Cheng Banxian took out eight bronze mirrors, opened the bracket behind the mirror, stretched around the hospital bed, and then lit a white candle in front of the bronze mirror.
"OK, it's time to start. You all exit this room. Look, you must not come in and interrupt the practice." He patted his chest and said, "I am an old doctor, absolutely no problem."
What can I say? The only hope is him. I just hope that my dad can recover his mind. Even if he can't get up, it doesn't matter. We can take him home and serve him well.
Cheng Banxian recited the spell and made gestures. I saw the little wooden people swaying slightly, especially the black villain standing upside down on the mirror, almost shaking down. At the same time, the candle flames in front of the eight-sided bronze mirror shone green.
My back felt cold, and the room was suddenly filled with gloomy ghost energy, which scared me so much that I couldn't help but take a step back.
Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and pressed my shoulder: "Don't be afraid...that's his true face."
I looked at Cheng Banxian. His thin and tender flesh with a little white face gradually turned into a rough, blue-black color, and two pairs of small sharp corners appeared on his forehead...
When I heard my brother swallowing, he became nervous - there was an absolute ghost in front of me.
Jiang Qiyun supported my waist to prevent me from sliding to the ground when I was frightened.
I saw black mist slowly gathering in the mirror under the hospital bed, gathering little by little into a human head, rushing around in the mirror and rolling around at will.
At this time, a hazy image suddenly appeared in the surrounding eight bronze mirrors.
I saw the outline of my dad. He hugged a woman's shoulder hard, and another bronze mirror seemed to be arguing with her. There was also a woman holding a child in the bronze mirror...
The effects of these activities are repeated continuously, as if they are the deepest memories in my father's heart, so that he can awaken his mind.
The black shadow in the mirror began to roar: "You woman! Why did you make me love you so much? I wish I could eat you! Even my bones were chewed!"
I was shocked when I heard this - this is my dad's voice!!
"Ah...ah...so noisy! This kid is so noisy! I really want to kill him!"
"You are almost dead, why do you have children? Are children more important than me? Can I kill them all to accompany you?!"
These shrill roars made me frightened. Is this my dad? This person who shouted terrible words is my dad?!
Why did he want to kill mom and us?
My brother's expression was solemn, but I couldn't help but tremble.
"...Don't be afraid." Jiang Qiyun hugged me: "This is just a combination of all evil thoughts deep in his heart."
"All things live in two lives. Many people have thought about dying. Why don't he die? Why don't you die... These are karma. Even if the words you say impulse, they will also add to sin. The previous Ghost King was just a coincidence that the evil thoughts I abandoned deep in the Yin Mountains, and became powerful in magic power."
I buried my head in his arms and didn't dare to see the scene in the room. Jiang Qiyun chatted with me to distract me: "Xiao Qiao, have you ever had any evil thoughts?"
I thought about it and asked in a depressed manner: "...Is jealousy counting?"
He chuckled, without answering.
In the room, Cheng Banxian suddenly jumped onto my father's hospital bed and slowly climbed onto my father's body... My brother clenched his fists, and he wanted to rush in and pull him away.
Because he was sucking my dad’s breath! Two black gas slowly emerged from my dad’s nose, and he gradually retreated as he sucked.
The more black gas comes out, the less black fog in the mirror under the bed becomes.
In the end, the black gas was spit on the ground by him and turned into something like an intestine.
I was so disgusting that I didn't dare to look at it. I heard the loud crow of roosters in my ears. The big roosters rushed in like they saw delicious food and pecked at them.
After a while, the dark energy in the room disappeared.
"Okay..." An old voice rang out.
I looked at Cheng Banxian, and the skin on his face and hands was as dry as cracked dry land.
"You, you are..." I looked at him in horror.
