Yin-Yang Judge of Hell - C26
I discovered that there was a figure standing under the loudspeaker ditch. From the shape of the figure, it looked like a person. This person was Jia Li. After she was married, she followed along with the Cao family, also known as Cao Lao Wu. I hurried on ahead, but the glass didn’t know what was going on and kept complaining about the bad road. If he knew that Cao Lao Wu was behind, he would definitely run faster than anyone else.
We followed the path that led to the end of the path and wound our way up the channel. Once we got to the top, we could feel the mountain wind growing stronger. It was now autumn. According to the Four Seasons and the Four Symbols, the autumn wind should have originated from the west, which was the White Tiger position. As such, the west wind often blew very hard, causing all living things to wither. This was indeed the case. The wind was blowing from the west, bringing with it the scent of withered grass. The more the wind blew, the more intense the situation became. In the distance, groups of ghost fires gathered above the graves. The ghost fires danced around the graves. When I looked up, I saw that the stars were surprisingly few tonight, and the stars were very faint, so that the will-o ‘-the-wisp was particularly striking. If this scene wasn’t placed on the southern side of the mountain, it would definitely be considered a wonderful scene.
Uncle Li Fu brought us to the place where he first dug up Old Madame Zhao’s skeleton. He pointed to a place and said, “This is the place where we first dug up the bones.”
“There’s no need to be so precise.” “Erlang, place the lamp here, and then draw a circle around this position. The diameter is about three meters, so draw it using the Soul Summoning Flag’s pole.”
After the circle was finished, the leopard cat took out a handful of yellow framed paper and handed it to me. “Light it up with the lamp, walk in circles backwards three times to the left, then turn right, this is called clearing the world of Yin and Yang, remember, the number of circles cannot be too many or too few. Once the yellow framed paper is burnt, it must be renewed in time, or everyone will be unlucky!”
It seems that right now, I’ve only just gotten to the point. I don’t know why they would circle around me, but when I asked the leopard cat, he didn’t want to say it. I lit the yellow paper and circled it, the glass dancing on one side, saying I was making a monkey out of it, and I was so angry I wanted to kick him. I thought to myself, what’s wrong with me? No matter what, I am still a knowledgeable youth. I have always received an atheist’s education, but today, I have actually taken up the role of a swindler, regretting that my parents have spent more than ten years worth of hard-earned money.
I went around in circles three times, and things went well, and nothing unusual happened. I couldn’t help but wonder if this trick would work. The leopard cat was playing tricks here, but we were playing tricks with him. It really was just as Glass said, playing with monkeys, how did I end up on this path?
At this moment, the leopard cat took out a piece of hemp rope from her backpack and placed it on the ground. After dressing for a long time, it finally folded into an “S” shape. After the leopard cat was done, he asked Laifu to light the hemp rope.
Laifu took out his lighter and aimed it at the rope. As soon as he pressed the button, there was a “pu” sound and a tongue of flame started burning along the hemp rope. It was so fast that we didn’t even have time to react.
“I must have soaked it in gasoline!” The glass said. I nodded my approval.
“Erlang, go and squat in the southwest direction. You go and squat in the northwest direction.” The leopard cat ordered.
“My name is Glass,” Glass said unhappily, but as soon as she finished her sentence, she felt that something wasn’t right, so she quickly continued, “Call me Little Liu.”
“Cut the crap, hurry up and get into position!” The leopard cat urged. “Squat inside the circle. Jiro is facing outwards and the glass is facing inward. One step out is courting death!”
Glass and I did not dare to slouch, and we immediately got into position, and then the glass slapped our legs and said, “I know, a tai chi is a universe, and just now Uncle Li was building a tai chi, or a universe, perhaps to protect himself, or to pry into the world of ghosts, or both. “According to the rumors of the day after tomorrow, you are in the Pure Yin Trigrams position while I am in the Pure Yang Diagram. What exactly is his intention for arranging this?”
The leopard cat coughed from behind her back. It was obvious that the cough was on purpose to shut the glass up. Because I was facing outwards, my back was to the leopard and Uncle Fu, so I didn’t know what they were doing.
At this moment, a melodious sound came from behind him. It was so melodious that it could not be stopped. It could only be played by Changxiao. I didn’t expect that the leopard cat would have such skills. Following the sound of the whistle, another voice rang out, huff huff huff, it was the sound of the flag being blown by the wind. I guessed that Uncle Fu Li was probably waving the soul summoning flag. The flower leopard cat played the flute in the middle of the night, or was it to play such a heart-wrenching tune? According to the records in the history books, there were people who used the flute melody to draw in countless undead, but I really can’t remember which ancient book it was. Could it be that the flower leopard cat learned this ability?
I could hear that this tune was filled with sorrow, it struck my heart. I thought to myself that he must have used the Scream to attract souls. Not to mention a lone soul, even my own soul felt like it was about to fly out of this melody. At this moment, I discovered that there were two gusts of wind coming from the left and right sides of my body. I noticed that there were countless ghosts and flames that were riding the wind, gathering in front of me. Out of the corner of my eye, I looked in both directions and saw that the will-o ‘-the-wisps from other places were beginning to gather. The will-o ‘-the-wisp will be concentrated in this direction. I think it has something to do with the pure yin of the glass.
I was about to tell the leopard cat about it when I noticed that the ghostly flames in front of me had gradually dimmed, as if they were going out one by one.
At this moment, Glass spoke up, “Why is there fog all of a sudden?”
Mist up? I rubbed my eyes and looked again, and sure enough, there was fog. The fog engulfed the ghost flame, so it looked like the ghost flame was about to be extinguished. I looked around and saw that the mist seemed to have a trick up its sleeve, for the sudden mist was coming up from under the loudspeaker ditch, a wisp at a time.
No, my forehead was starting to itch, badly. I thought there was something fishy about this fog. It must be doing something, but as I thought about it, something seemed to be rushing through the fog, because all the ghostly flames just now suddenly dispersed in all directions, moving so fast that something seemed to be driving them away.
“There’s fog coming up from under the loudspeaker ditch, and the flames are gathering and dispersing. What do we do now?”
The leopard cat immediately stopped playing her flute and hurriedly said, “There are evil spirits making a ruckus! Erlang, you are filled with Yang energy, do not be afraid of him. No matter what you see or hear, do not leave that place.
When I heard the leopard cat’s words, my heart skipped a beat and I couldn’t help but become nervous. Evil ghost? What did evil spirits look like? Was it the kind of thing that had bad facial features, incomplete limbs, and a body covered in blood?
The evil ghost didn’t appear. It was only a misty patch of fog in front of his eyes. He couldn’t see anything clearly except for the itch on his forehead growing more and more itchy. After a while, the situation occurred. A gust of wind rose from the side, sweeping up the dust on the ground and assaulting my face, not giving me any time to react. The force of the wind was so strong that I was almost knocked to the ground due to my squatting position.
“Fuck!” I cursed, and quickly took a step back with my right leg to steady myself.
When the leopard cat and Glass heard me curse, they both asked at the same time what had happened.
“What a strong cold wind.” “No,” I replied. As soon as I said that, I felt someone blow on the back of my neck. It was very cold. Subconsciously, I turned around and saw Cao Laowu lying behind me, baring his teeth. I felt as if I had fallen into a hole in the ice, and I shivered. I reflexively raised my right elbow and rammed it back, but it didn’t touch anything. Cao Laowu also disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
Is this my misconception, or is it that Cao Laowu is in our circle, which is the so-called universe? If it’s the former then it’s fine, but if it’s the latter then we’re both in danger. However, if the latter explained that Cao Laowu had just found out that I could see him, he would have dodged it all of a sudden. But where could he hide? I suddenly thought of the glass. He was the only one here, the only one that could easily be exposed, so if Cao Lao Wu wanted to hide, he was the only one. I looked at the glass and saw that it was sitting in the northwest direction, unmoving. It was also known as Lotus Seat. He was sitting with his legs crossed and his hands placed on his knees, similar to a monk meditating. However, the posture of his hands was wrong, and one could faintly hear that there was something in his mouth, similar to the Diamond Sutra. Because in college, he kept reciting this. He didn’t remember it, but we did.
I shouted, “Glass, you have to be careful. Cao Lao Wu is in our circle, and if he wants to take the upper body, he’ll be the first to look for you!”
Just as she finished speaking, she heard the shocked cries of the flower leopard cat and Laifu uncle. Looks like this matter was out of the flower leopard cat’s expectations. I really didn’t get it. The situation went out of control from the very start and I couldn’t help but lose my confidence in the flower leopard cat.
Then the leopard said, “Glass, come to the center and sit down. Erlang Shen, you will continue to hold that position. When I say move aside, you will immediately move aside and return to your original position. ”
The leopard said this in a roundabout way, but I could hear it, but I just didn’t understand why. At this moment, the glass wall rose and walked to the side of the leopard cat. The leopard cat looked at the glass wall and said, “Continue to meditate on the Diamond Sutra. Now that you have given up your position, the pure sun will take over your path, and the evil spirits will definitely escape.
I don’t understand why the leopard cat explained in so much detail this time. If there’s one thing I have to explain, it is that the leopard cat is very smart. It meant that what he had done was well-founded, without a doubt. Actually, no matter how detailed he was, it was useless because I didn’t understand him at all. However, his goal was obviously to expel Cao Lao Wu, who was like a ticking time bomb here. But the glass was different. He had studied these things before, and after hearing what the leopard cat said, he seemed to understand what she meant and nodded his head repeatedly.
“No problem!” Then he sat down.
“Laifu, put down the soul flag for the time being and come sit here. Watch the light, don’t let it go out!” After saying that, the leopard used the bamboo pole to walk to the original position on the glass, that is, the northwest position. He walked very accurately, and he had a good grasp of the direction and distance. He wiped his hand on the bamboo, as if he were rubbing something on it, but it was too dark for me to see.
After the leopard cat stood still, she stuck the bamboo pole into the ground. Because the soil was turned over by Uncle Fu, it was very loose, so the bamboo pole was stuck into the ground almost five centimeters, standing upright. The Thorny Flower Cat pole was not a big deal, as a whirlwind started to swirl within the circle. Once the whirlwind was formed, it would roll up the soil on the ground to a height of one meter and then scratch it back and forth in the ring like a headless fly. After about twenty seconds, the whirlwind spun back and forth around the glass, and the earth rose higher and higher until it formed a barrier, three meters wide, blocking my view. I could barely make out the glass sitting there in meditation, not moving at all, Uncle Fu holding the white paper box to prevent the lamp from being extinguished by the wind. Just like this, the whirlwind circled around for nearly two minutes before a howl came from within, and the whirlwind headed straight for me.
