Chapter 24: How to catch ghosts
The Xia Dynasty established a post of the official position below the county level, with a hundred households as one liter and five miles as one village, and each liter is one person. The main responsibilities are to manage household registration, establish farming and sericulture, check illegality, and urge taxes.
The moon is in the sky.
Many villagers gathered at the foot of Yanming Mountain in Daijiazhuang.
The ghost fire appeared in the world, and everyone was panicked. Daijiazhuang asked the famous witch in the village to open the altar to exorcise demons and evil spirits.
Dozens of torches illuminate the sky, hundreds of villagers formed a large circle, each holding a yellow evil-proof talisman in his hand.
An altar was placed in the middle of the circle, and there were many magical tools such as peach wood sword, eternal lamp, three bowls of high fragrance, three yellow talismans and many other magical tools on the table.
The witch was wearing a black robe and a black hat. There was a yellow "卍" character in the middle, and a strange colored talisman picture was painted on her face, giving people a sense of mystery and awe.
When the Dragon Star Map and a group of nine people arrived, they happened to catch up with this scene.
Ghost Fire has always been heard of, and people have never seen it with their own eyes. Even what the Dragon Star Map knows is from ancient books. Therefore, since Ghost Fire and Li Erye both came from Daijiazhuang, they decisively headed straight to Yanming Mountain without direct clues.
"Master Long, what should I do? Will we go there?" Captain Liu asked softly.
Long Xingtu shook his head, signaled everyone to dismount, and ordered in a voice, "Let's tie the horse here, then spread it apart, each looking for the best sighting angle to hide, and watch it change. Remember, don't disturb the villagers, they are superstitious. If the witch's practice is disturbed, we will have trouble."
"clear!"
Everyone took the order and quickly sank into the surrounding woods and lurked.
When Zhongli left, he took off his sword and gave it to Longxing Map. He reminded her with dissatisfaction, "Star Map, if you really encounter something unclean, take it and protect yourself. Xuan'er covered the sword body with blood, saying that it is effective for dealing with that kind of dirty thing."
The Dragon Star Map has a dark face, "The little brat doesn't work hard to study, and he's just thinking about some evil ways all day long."
"Don't be careless. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid that if you have the martial arts skills, your chances of winning are greater for multiple weapons." Zhong Li said tirelessly.
Regarding safety issues, Zhongli's stubbornness was something Long Xingtu experienced since childhood, so she accepted her fate and waved her hand, "I understand, you go there and hide it."
After Zhongli left, Longxingtu jumped onto an ancient tree, using lush branches and leaves as a cover, and using open vision to see the surrounding wind and grass movements.
"The good time is coming--"
With a shout from the inside, the fields were quiet and silent.
The witch clasped her hands together, raised her head, closed her eyes, and chanted loudly: "Above the nine heavens, only the Tao is the only one, and among all things, burning incense is the first."
After burning incense, someone brought a big rooster with red silk to come up, and cut off the chicken's neck with one knife. The rooster screamed miserably, and the bright red chicken blood gushed out. The witch took the chicken blood, wrote a spell on a yellow talisman, and then picked it on the tip of the peach wood sword, circled around the altar, and muttered words in her mouth.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, and most of the torches on the field were extinguished in an instant!
"ah--"
The timid villagers screamed in an instant, "Is it the female ghost here?"
"Don't panic! Everyone stay calm!" Li Zheng quickly calmed people's hearts, "We have the evil-proof talisman in our hands, and the female ghost dare not approach it!"
So the villagers quickly urged the sage to cast the spell quickly. The sage swayed the bell in the magic weapon with one hand and danced the sword with the other hand, and brought out a group of great gods in the immortal world such as "Taishang Laojun", "Guanyin Bodhisattva", "Taibai Jinxing"!
Unexpectedly, what happened next was unexpected...
