"Dig the grave and break it..."
Landlord Du was a little confused, "Isn't the ancestral tomb destroyed?"
"It's not that easy." Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "Dripping Marrow Formation The momentum has been established, with the ancestors and the Du family's bloodline as the inner circle, and the Tomb Yin Mansion and the Du Family Yang Mansion as the outer ones."
"The destruction of the Yin Mansion only damaged the appearance. The root cause was that the poison spread and harmed the descendants of the blood, and the evil spirit was the result of this incident."
"It uses the blood of its descendants as its nest. If you wait until it dies, it will not die either. If the Du family's bloodline is cut off, it will escape completely and turn into a monster, causing trouble."
"But once this evil comes out, it will be the vitality of the Du family."
"As long as we find the ancestor's coffin and contain it with secret methods, Landlord Du will then ask Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect to take action and suppress it under City God Temple, and the bloodline Evil Curse will cease."
Luo Faqing frowned when he heard this, "Can't we suppress the killing?"
"Suppress and kill?"
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "The way of heaven and earth has its own laws. If the way of killing can solve all problems, how can Human Path disasters and all kinds of misery come to this world?"
"The summer sun is scorching, can you kill them all?"
"How can we beat the severe cold when it is covered with ice and snow in winter?"
"This dynasty Grand Ancestor has enacted cruel laws, and all those who are corrupt will be skinned and stuffed with grass, suppressed by City God Temple, but how can they kill people's greed?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Faqing was speechless.
"The same is true for these monsters."
Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "They may have arisen due to natural disasters or man-made disasters. Even Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect cannot kill them. They can only suppress them among Blessed Grotto-Heavens, pray for blessings day and night, and gradually resolve them."
"Now that the curse has penetrated deeply into the Du family's bloodline, the only way to suppress this evil spirit is to dig out the bones and remove the poison, but at the same time it will also destroy Dripping Marrow Formation."
"From now on, the Du family has no luck and has to rely on itself for everything. It also needs to cultivate virtue and benevolence, burning incense day and night to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters."
"What to do depends on Landlord Du's decision."
"I agree!"
Before Landlord Du could speak, the eldest son Du An, who was eavesdropping outside the door, rushed in, knelt down in front of Landlord Du, cried bitterly and kowtowed, "Father, I don't ask Prosperity, I only want Wan Er and his family to be safe, even if I give up everything!"
Landlord Du showed a hint of relief in his eyes and helped Du An up, "Although your qualifications are not as good as Chong'er's, you are kindhearted and you are the blessing of the family. As a father, you are right."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, bent down and cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Master, I have the same idea. As long as my family is safe, I am willing to give up everything!"
"That'll be easy."
Wang Dao Xuan nodded and said, "Although this thing is strange, it is also a kind of disaster. It only has spirituality and can attack people on its own. The disaster has passed tonight, but this thing will still cause trouble tomorrow night."
"Pindao has a way to temporarily avoid disasters."
"Without further delay, Landlord Du, Pindao needs materials to make paper figures. All members of the Du family must be present, even the wife and concubines."
Landlord Du quickly ordered, "Quick, get ready!"
"Come one by one, don't be afraid."
"It's okay, straighten your waist and raise your arms..."
In the main hall, Sha LiFei gave orders with commands.
Steward Wang and the servant took measuring tapes and measured each person's height, arm length, leg length, and even neck and head circumference.
Landlord Du personally took notes and took notes. Every time he measured a person's data, he cut bamboo pieces of equal length and placed them in sequence.
Li Yan matches the Wang Dao Xuan paper man.
While he was helping, he was watching with great interest.
<North Emperor Chuling Technique> Of course, there are ways to make paper figures, straw figures and even puppets, but the method is too old and emphasizes spirit rather than form. Just have a rough appearance.
The paper figurines of Wang Dao Xuan are extremely delicate in their production.
Height, size, and even face shape should be similar.
Luo Faqing doesn't like Li Yan and Sha LiFei very much, but after what happened last night, he admires Wang Dao Xuan.
Seeing this situation, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Daoist Wang, this is Nether Gate's method, I didn't expect you to be involved in it."
"It's a long way from being a poor person."
Wang Dao Xuan kept moving his hands and said calmly, "The solution will inevitably be insufficient. If things change, follow-up remedies will be needed."
"The remedy is nothing more than the five methods of confusing the gods, punishing the gods, defeating, removing disasters, and cultivating the body. These are the methods of confusing the gods and Calamity Shifting Method."
"If you want to confuse the evil thing, your bones, flesh, and skin must all look like it."
Li Yan also said with interest, "I didn't expect paper figures to be so particular."
"It was also formed slowly through development."
Wang Dao Xuan sighed, "There have been people engaged in Nether Gate since the time of Yao and Shun, but they are taboo and do not belong to the orthodox religion and Dharma. Their status is low and their knowledge is insufficient. They are passed down by word of mouth from masters and apprentices."
"Later, Song Ci wrote <Records of Wrongful Deaths>, and his status was slightly improved. He was regarded as the ancestor. Many other sects also respected and learned from him, such as this paper maker, and his skills improved a lot."
"The poor Daoist traveled all over the world and once learned from a fellow Daoist, but he only gained some superficial knowledge..."
With that said, a paper man has been made, which is the stand-in for Landlord Du. The two have similar height, hairstyle, facial features, and even the color of their clothes.
The only thing is that I didn't light my eyes.
Wang Dao Xuan's face became solemn, he kneaded the formula in his hand, dipped in a little blood squeezed out by Landlord Du, said Six Jia Secret Incantation, and lightly touched the paper man's eyes.
Everyone held their breath and watched carefully.
However, nothing happened.
"This... failed."
Wang Dao Xuan was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "After all, I am not a person in this way. I can make out the skin and bones, but I can't get the spirit. I'm afraid I will be seen through at a glance."
"Let's do it again. I hope I can finish it today..."
"Wait a minute!"
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "If all you need is to obtain God, maybe I can find a way."
Having said that, pinch Mystical Gestures, use <North Emperor Chuling Technique>, and lightly click with your little finger.
Wow!
A piece of Chuling Paper Figure flew out from the leather bag around his waist, danced in the wind, and circled up and down around him.
Li Yan pinched Li Yan with two fingers, dipped it in Landlord Du's blood with Chuling Paper Figure, then pinched Mystical Gestures, and the small paper man crawled into the big paper man's body along the gap behind it.
Chu Ling is a god.
When it comes to gaining God alone, what else is more suitable than the Cult Soul.
Phew~
Once the paper figures were finished, Yin Wind suddenly appeared in the main hall.
The candlelight flickered and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Li Yan can smell the scent of Landlord Du on the paper man. Although it is a little weak, it is exactly the same!
"Quick... look!"
Steward Wang's voice trembled, and he pointed at the paper man.
I could only see the paper man's neck, twisting slowly, but when he felt so many eyes, he seemed to be frightened, and quickly returned to normal.
Such a scene gave many people chills on their backs.
"It's done!"
Wang Dao Xuan put his hands on his hands and laughed happily, "I never thought it could be like this. Compared with the work made by the Xuanmen paper maker, it is not bad at all."
"With this method, many things will be easier to handle in the future."
Li Yan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chu Ling could be used in this way. He and Wang Dao Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and they both understood.
This method has many uses.
Not only can it be used to ward off disasters, but it can also increase the power of the Wang Dao Xuan spell.
Luo Faqing was also stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Congratulations to both of you."
He can naturally see the beauty of this thing.
The experiment was successful and their speed was getting faster and faster.
Wang Dao Xuan The reason why I have to set aside a day is because I am afraid that the eye-dotting will fail and I will have to go back and forth.
But with the cooperation of Li Yan, it was completed before noon.
The lobby of the Du family was densely filled with paper figures.
Lineage members each have two.
All paper figures cover their heads with red cloth.
Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice to Landlord Du: "Remember, before Zi Hour every night, everyone in the Du residence must leave. Chickens, ducks, dogs, dogs, mules, horses and other livestock are not allowed to stay."
"Wait until Zi Hour is over and it's almost dawn before going home."
"These paper figures have some spirituality. They protect you from disasters. It is inevitable that you will have resentments. They will burn incense and worship them after dawn, and then burn them with willow wood as firewood at noon when the sun is shining."
"Remember not to miss one, lest the trouble here is not solved and the paper man starts to cause trouble again."
"On the second night, if I haven't come back yet, I will put the second paper man as planned and lift the red hijab."
"Also, Landlord Du can immediately send someone to Chang'an and ask City God Temple to help. If they don't come back, don't wait and run to the Xianyang City God's Temple. The temple there wishes senior Qing YangZi a good relationship with us."
Landlord Du listened carefully and said solemnly, "I have written it down, there won't be any mistakes."
Wang Dao Xuan nodded and said, "As the saying goes, again and again, no more, this method can only stop for two nights, so without further delay, we will set off now."
"Come here, prepare your horses!"
Landlord Du has already had people feed the horses good fodder.
Li Yan The three of them packed their things and left Du's house. Luo Faqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Daoist Wang, how about I go with you?"
"No."
Wang Dao Xuan looked solemn and shook his head and said, "The matter of breaking the tomb is actually easy to deal with. I will suppress it temporarily and wait for the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect to come."
"This is the foundation. Two people have died tragically. Old Woman's brain and lungs have been eaten. In response to the Nao Zangshen and the Five Elements Number, plus the lost grandson, there are already two people."
"If it is really an evil arrangement, then if three more people are killed, the demon will truly take shape."
"Daoist Luo's technique is superb. If evil comes to cause trouble, it will definitely delay us until we succeed!"
"Daoist Master, please rest assured!"
Luo Faqing is handed over in true color.
He was also feeling suffocated in his heart. Although he was impressed by Wang Dao Xuan, he was also a loser this time. If he allowed evil to succeed, he might as well stop messing around.
"Take care!"
After saying goodbye, the three Li Yan rode away.
Unknowingly, it snowed heavily again...
As night fell, strong winds swept the snow.
"Master Dao, we are here!"
Sha LiFei pressed the bamboo hat on his head and roared in the wind and snow.
The weather was unpredictable, and it snowed again when they set out at noon. Then the north wind howled, and the snow became heavier and heavier.
The snow covered the trenches on the road. Riding horses in this weather was really not a good choice, so the three of them led their horses through the wind and snow.
Fortunately, the Ancient Haojing ruins are not far away and they have arrived.
"Over there is the old site of the E'pang Palace, over there is Ancient Haojing, this whole area used to be Shanglin Garden, I know there is a place to take shelter from the wind!"
Sha LiFei pointed ahead and led the two of them for another mile to the corner of an earthen wall.
The wind was obviously lighter here. Li Yan lit the torch and looked around with the flickering light of the fire, and soon made a discovery.
Although the surrounding earthen walls are severely weathered and covered with thick snow, it can still be seen that they were the remains of an ancient city.
Hao Jing, E'pang Palace, Shanglin Garden...
These bright names in history books have gone through countless years of wars, and now only some unrecognizable earthen walls remain.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Sha is quite familiar with this place."
"I used to come here often."
Sha LiFei smiled and said, "Isn't it going to be December soon? Hunting Night Foxes days, I remember a few years ago, Chang'an Prosperity people were popular in fox fur clothes, especially when Hunting Night Foxes brought foxes to their homes, we could get a lot of rewards, so we came here to hunt foxes in exchange for money..."
"Hunting Night Foxes", also called "Hitting the Night Fox".
It is said that Emperor Jingzong of Tang was addicted to alchemy Elixir of Immortality, and he was also dissolute and engaged in extensive construction projects. The famous poem "E'pang Palace Fu" was written to exhort him.
Of course, no matter how well written it is, it will be of no use to it.
In addition, Emperor Jingzong of Tang also has a special hobby. He likes to take people to hunt foxes at night.
I don't know why, this thing has evolved into a folk custom. Every December, beggars and poor people in the city will dress up as ghosts and gods, beat gongs and drums, knock on the door and ask for money, saying that they will help you drive away the plague ghosts.
For the sake of good luck, most people will give some money.
It's quite a bit like Halloween's "trick or treat" style.
Li Yan asked doubtfully, "Hitting the Night Fox also wants to send a real fox. Have you never heard of such a thing?"
"Well, it's all city people who follow suit."
Sha LiFei said disdainfully, "Chang'an people are like this. When they see what a wealthy family does, they imitate them one after another, saying that the fox skin they got that day has the power to ward off evil spirits, but it was banned later."
"Why?"
"Something happened. It was rumored that someone was hunting foxes. It turned out that there were fox fires and fox ghosts over there at the E'pang Palace, and many charlatans died, so the government ordered a ban."
"But I didn't go there, and I don't know whether the rumors are true or false..."
After chatting for a few words, Li Yan took out a scroll.
The scroll is beautifully made, like a fan, with bamboo as the bone and fine silk as the skin. When unfolded, there are densely packed handwriting and maps.
This thing is called "Dirge Scroll".
Originally a royal possession, they were used to praise the merits of the emperor and concubines during their lifetimes, write sacrificial inscriptions, and bury them together in tombs.
Later, the custom spread to the people, and some large Lineages were made because the cemeteries were remote and secretive, so that future generations would not know the location of the ancestral tombs, and it was also regarded as a clan secret.
This was given by Landlord Du, which recorded the purpose in detail.
Looking carefully with a torch, Sha LiFei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, I know this place. It's not far. It only takes two more sticks of incense to walk there."
Wang Dao Xuan also looked at Dirge Scroll and said thoughtfully, "Sure enough, the Du family opened up the old Zhou tomb and hid it again."
"It looks like it's quite spacious inside. Let's go now, just in time to do some errands and avoid the wind and snow."
After making up their mind, the three of them set off immediately.
Not long after, they came to a plain. On the plain, there were undulating hills one after another, covered with heavy snow, like steamed buns or tombs.
Of course, many of them are also large tombs of Gonghou, with piles of earth covering them. Some are large and some are small, and they are of different ages. Many of them have been visited by local rats and are riddled with holes.
"Look over there!"
When we came to the foot of a hill, Sha LiFei suddenly pointed to the right.
I saw a huge crack suddenly appeared halfway up the mountain, and some huge bricks and stones were scattered...
