crossing yin and yang

Chapter 85

The moment Wei Yang saw the bone array, the hairs on Wei Yang's back blew up, how could it be this thing!Why is there a bone array hidden in the shrine where the Jiang family enshrines the immortals?One of the purposes of his return home this time is to find out the origin of the bone array, but the mystery has not yet been solved, why did he find the same thing in Jiang's house again? !

Suspicion was only for a moment, Wei Yang immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Xiuqi like a conditioned reflex, he did not forget the reaction of the little celestial master when he saw the bone array in Jubaozhai, brother Qi's spirit had a problem yesterday, he can't take the risk Little risk.

However, this time Zhang Xiuqi didn't react so violently, he just frowned tightly, as if he was caught in some kind of memory, without the slightest hesitation, Wei Yang quickly picked out the bone array with his fingertips, and put the Mulian platform back to its original position with his backhand In less than half a minute, the shrine returned to its original appearance, Wei Yang asked in a low voice, "Brother Qi, are you alright?"

As if awakened from a dream, Zhang Xiuqi was stunned for a moment before silently nodding his head. It seemed that there was nothing serious about it. Wei Yang's hanging heart relaxed a little, but the bone formation in his palm was gripped even more firmly. Yes, he didn't know the relationship between Bone Formation and Zhu Fang, but the two used peach wood and locust wood which were incompatible with each other, and they were hidden so tightly, presumably there should be some unknown connection with the Jiang family's inheritance.

Was it this bone array that glowed that day?Why does the Jiang family seem to be ignorant of the existence of the bone array?Thinking back to Master Chizhi's evaluation of the bone array back then, Wei Yang's heart jumped. Could it be that the two bone arrays were originally a group, but they were separated for some unknown reason...

After hesitating for a while, Wei Yang turned his hand and put the bone array in his pocket. It is the Jiang family's thing, but he needs to use this thing to unlock the layer more than hiding it in the shrine. A layer of fog, whether it's for Brother Qi or for himself.

Exhaling lightly, he patted Zhang Xiuqi's arm: "Brother Qi, let's settle the Jiang family's affairs first, and then deal with other things. By the way, can you see what is causing the trouble this time?"

Without the influence of the bone array, Zhang Xiuqi completely returned to normal, and the locked eyebrows gradually loosened, and he answered, "Like Guisha."

"How is it possible? How long has it been since Grandma passed away?" Wei Yang frowned instead. He has been with the little celestial master for such a long time, and he is no longer the liar who only knows how to brag. He more or less understands Some common sense about ghosts.

The so-called "guisha" is actually a kind of evil spirit that only newly mourned people have. It is said that the ghost will not dissipate within a few days after the funeral, and will choose a specific time to return home in the soul body.At this time, it will carry the evil spirit unique to the ghost. In order to avoid being infected by the evil spirit, all family members have to leave home to avoid it, which is called "avoiding evil spirits".

To deal with this kind of ghost, in fact, as long as Mr. Yin Yang calculates the time, put plant ash and boiled eggs at home. However, after the Republic of China, metaphysics declined, and the tradition of avoiding evil spirits was gradually abandoned. Instead, it is the saying "the first seven nights of returning to the soul". It is very popular and used in many film and television works, but this kind is just scary, the birth date of the deceased is different, who can guarantee that Guisha will appear on the seventh day after the burial.

However, no matter whether it is the first seven or Guisha, to put it bluntly, they are unique to the newly mourned. It is impossible to appear in this kind of bone-washing burial three years later, and the Jiang family has no new mourners. This problem may occur?

Understanding Wei Yang's doubts, Zhang Xiuqi glanced at the old man lying on the bed, and replied flatly: "The evil spirit comes from the tomb."

"You mean the problem is in the cemetery? Is it really a problem with the bone-washing and burial?" Wei Yang immediately guessed something. ?

But if this is the case, he might have to walk around the cemetery. Looking at the thin figure on the carved canopy bed, Wei Yang sighed in his heart. Grandma never let him go to the grave, but he didn't expect that the last encounter was to save him. Her own brother's life, and she doesn't know how the old man will feel in the spirit of heaven.

After only a short while, Jiang Nian brought people back in a hurry, and set up a table for breakfast outside. He politely invited the two of them to the table. There were stir-fried vegetables and roast chicken on the table. Little Tianshi is not picky about the posture of eating breakfast, and began to eat while sitting upright.

Seeing that the little celestial master was eating in a leisurely manner, Jiang Nian didn't dare to disturb him, so he approached Wei Yang and asked in a low voice, "Yangyang, what does Mr. Zhang say?"

"I guess I'll have to go to the cemetery to have a look, maybe there's something wrong with the bone-washing burial." Wei Yang simply replied.

Jiang Nian couldn't help but frowned: "The bone-washing burial is passed down from our family's ancestors. Every Jiang Han and Jiang Po has to go through this. How could something go wrong?"

"Uncle, it's more suspicious because the bones of the ancestors have to be washed for generations." Wei Yang showed a wry smile, "Most of the second burials are to remove the evil spirits from the corpses and prevent the corpses from changing. I'm afraid the Jiang family is I have this concern because I have to deal with immortal animals. Now that there are no immortals at home, something might go wrong."

What he said was half-truth and half-false, Jiang Nian couldn't help but shudder, indeed, the inheritance has never been broken in the past, maybe the next enshrined bone washing should be done by himself?Without enshrining, his father went to wash his bones rashly, which is naturally a bit inappropriate.The bottom of my heart was uneasy, and the meal was tasteless. When Zhang Xiuqi finally put down his chopsticks, Jiang Nian stood up immediately: "Mr. Zhang, let's go now?"

Zhang Xiuqi shook his head: "The soil on the house, the ashes in the stove, the floor."

Jiang Nian was taken aback, and just as he was about to ask, Wei Yang had already opened his mouth to explain: "Although the talisman has been pasted up now, in order to prevent the evil spirits from attacking again, we need to use the soil from the eaves and the ashes from the stove to cover the ground, so that We can go to the cemetery with peace of mind."

Just use ashes?Jiang Nian was obviously a little skeptical. His family's ancestral recipes were all chicken bones, cinnabar, or grapefruit leaves and willow branches. He had never heard that a little soil could solve the problem.But the effect of the talisman just now is vivid in his memory, no matter how much he doubted him, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked someone to draw a large bowl of soil, and sprinkled it carefully and densely on the side of the bed in the bedroom according to Zhang Xiuqi's instructions.

Jiang Nian couldn't understand this, but Wei Yang knew it very well. This was originally a means to prevent returning to evil. After spreading the ash, Zhang Xiuqi took out another piece of dead jade and put it in the old man's mouth, and then followed Jiang Nian to the old man. Go to the cemetery.

Wei Yang's grandma was buried next to the public cemetery in Weijia Village. The grave was not piled high, and she didn't choose any geomantic treasure site. She was simply buried beside a soil slope. , The white linen cloth covers one area of ​​the world, even if you look at it in broad daylight, it has a somewhat sinister meaning.

Facing the half-open coffin, Wei Yang felt extremely complicated. The old man who hated him to the bone now has only a rotten bone left, but the memories of the past are difficult to pass away with the wind. Without the buffer of his grandfather, his Childhood may only be full of nightmares, is it really so important to be a witch?More important than your own grandson?

That fox face came into his mind again, Wei Yang shivered slightly, for such a status of worship, the Jiang family must have become crazy?Exhaling a breath, he no longer hesitated, and walked closely beside Zhang Xiuqi towards the grave.

Because the burial was going to be relocated, the stone chamber was not even built in this tomb. The soil had been dug for several days, and most of the soil inside had dried up. It looked like an extremely ordinary pit. Zhang Xiuqi looked around the cemetery He squeezed the soil from the hole and put it on his nose to smell it, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his eyes swept away, and he walked quickly to the coffin parked in the coffin.

"Is there something wrong?" Wei Yang couldn't help becoming nervous, trying to follow quickly.

Zhang Xiuqi shouted sharply: "Don't move!"

Not to mention Wei Yang, even the few people behind him stood still in fright. Zhang Xiuqi had already pulled out the Suihou sword, swished it into the seven-inch shock in front of the coffin, and only heard a click, then The thin coffin boards cracked at the sound, and a smell of corpses wafted out from it.

Bone-washing and burial is not a job that can be completed in a short period of time. It needs to open the coffin to dry the corpse, clean the bones with water, and then put the skeleton into the earthen jar. Even if the coffin has been opened for a while, the corpse that has been buried for three years is not something ordinary people can bear. The faces of the Jiang family brothers turned green immediately, and some of the juniors who came with them even covered their hands. Mouth almost did not spit out.

A gust of wind whizzed past, and the thin clouds covered the sun. Only two crisp sounds could be heard in the coffin, like the sound of teeth colliding. With a wave of Zhang Xiuqi's hand, the two talismans seemed to be held by invisible big hands , Qiqi stuck to the coffin board, and then black smoke came out with a snort.What Jiang Nian said was also taught by his family. At this moment, his face was pale, and his calves were trembling. Isn't this a sign of evil spirit possession?But how could my sister-in-law, who had been buried for three years, suddenly have a seizure...

On the side, Wei Yang's eyes widened suddenly. Just now, he seemed to have heard a crisp sound, which was distant and hazy. However, following the sound, the world in front of him suddenly changed, like a faded The color of the photo has been erased. In this weird and gloomy picture, there is a blurry figure like smoke. It is a very huge bird, a circle bigger than a vulture, with big wings and a long beak. Like hooks, the red-black bird's claws stepped fiercely on the corpse, and the long tail feathers were like long upside-down locks, firmly binding the corpse.Around it, there is a circle of gloomy black light and shadow, thick and sticky, like filth made of blood.

His heart was pounding, Wei Yang couldn't believe what he saw. The ancients often compared Guisha to birds, so they would sprinkle plant ash in the house and put boiled eggs under the eaves on the day of avoiding evil spirits. , and draw tile script talismans, hang Yansheng, is this the legendary evil god?But why did Shashen stop on the corpse for three years? Shouldn't it fly directly to Jiang's house? !

Almost reflexively, Wei Yang looked quickly at the figure in front of him, wanting to see if Zhang Xiuqi had also spotted the giant bird, but this action seemed to startle the evil god, a gust of wind blew by, and the bird Leap up and fly!

"Brother Qi!" Wei Yang shouted, but Zhang Xiuqi's movements were faster than his voice. At the moment when the two yellow talismans were burning together, he flew out step by step, and the Suihou sword in his hand was like a chain of light. Slashing at the corpse, this action immediately elicited two exclamations, but Zhang Xiuqi ignored the shouts of the Jiang family brothers, and slashed at the chest of the corpse with his sword, as if trying to open the cavity of the rotting bone.

However, although the sword was going fiercely, the direction was a bit off. The tail feathers wrapped around the corpse snapped off, but its huge body also hit Zhang Xiuqi, and the wind rolled up with a whistling sound, and his footsteps were unsteady. , and flew out.

Wei Yang's eyes were red, how could he have imagined that Guisha, who is not in pain or itching at home, is so powerful!And why did Brother Qi cut off his tail? Shouldn't he avoid the evil god first, or cut off its head!

Behind him, the Jiang family brothers couldn't hold on anymore. The wind came too suddenly, Jiang Nian was completely dumbfounded, Jiang Yong still had some reason, seeing Zhang Xiuqi being blown away for no reason, He grabbed Wei Yang's arm: "Yang, Yangyang! Is this my sister's dead body? Two days ago, it was clearly..."

In just a split second, Wei Yang suddenly realized, was he the only one who saw this weird scene?Without even thinking about it, he threw off Jiang Yong's arm and rushed forward: "Brother Qi! That's a demon! Be careful!"

Zhang Xiuqi had just stood firm at this moment, and a yellow talisman was already in his hand. He could see that the corpse had been lowered. He thought that the evil spirit could be eliminated by destroying the descending charm on the corpse. Who would have expected that this descending technique would be like this Powerful, even if the eye of the formation is broken, it can produce such a powerful counter-shock force. Just as the fingertip blood was painted on the talisman, and he was about to ignite the talisman again, trapping the black shadow in front of him, Wei Yang rushed out with a slanting stab .

Demon?The sound made him stunned for a moment, but disturbed by the shout, the black figure paused for a moment, turned around and rushed towards Wei Yang. Zhang Xiuqi's back immediately tightened, like an enraged wolf, flying away. It also seemed to pounce on it.

The cracking sound of the lightning-inducing talisman echoed above the cemetery, as if a mysterious thunder had been drawn out of thin air, and it was striking right at the head of the evil god. Amidst the sound of the thunder, he also thought of Jie Jie and howling, the giant bird did not retreat but advanced , did not stop his figure, but rushed towards Wei Yang like an off-string arrow. At this moment, Zhang Xiuqi's eyes were tearing apart, and even the Suihou sword that never left his hand was thrown out, towards the black Go!

Seeing the giant bird pounced on him, Wei Yang almost froze. He didn't expect that the opponent would change the direction of attack. It was obviously too late to dodge, but the evil god came to him in a flash, and the thick black air It has been split by the thunder, and the sparse wings are like black mist shrouding behind it, and even those small and bright red eyes can be seen right away.

Wei Yang bit the tip of his tongue heavily, and spit out a mouthful of real saliva. He no longer has the protective amulet, and although there is still Qi Ge's Sancai array on his wrist, there is a limit to what can be blocked. Now that he has escaped Don't take it off, at least give this broken bird a little color!

Unexpectedly, this mouthful of blood spewed out, and there was a sudden change!Suddenly, a white light burst out from Wei Yang's chest, like the shadow of clouds and mist, standing firmly in front of him. When encountering this shallow white light, the evil god who can't be shattered by lightning or killed by a sword seemed to have encountered it. Like the frost and snow of the rising sun, without even making a whine, it lightly and skillfully turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

With a jingle, Suihou landed on the ground with a crisp sound, and then a figure rushed in front of Wei Yang, holding his arm with both hands like iron tongs, gritted his teeth in pain, and Wei Yang woke up. Come: "Brother Qi, that evil god..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xiuqi hugged him tightly. The heartbeat close to his chest was even stronger than his own, beating his chest. Wei Yang closed his eyes and stretched out his hand. Patted the little Tianshi on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'm fine, brother Qi, let's take a look at grandma's coffin first..."

However, Zhang Xiuqi did not let go, but hugged him even tighter. This time Wei Yang still did not resist, and slowly tightened his arms, hugging him back tightly.

Next to him, the Jiang family horses who had been stunned by the lightning-inducing talisman finally came to their senses. Jiang Nian raised his head in shock, and couldn't help but froze on the spot. His lips trembled, and then he made a voice: "Yang Yang ,How is this going……"

No matter what the mood is, it will be quicker to disperse when there are others watching. Wei Yang came back to his senses, struggled to get out, bent down and picked up the Suihou sword that fell on the ground, and handed it to the little celestial master. Then he turned his head and smiled at Jiang Nian: "Uncle, hurry up and call back to see how uncle is doing..."
