Notes on hitting ghosts

Chapter 177 "Iron City Mud Plow Sutra"

After I finished speaking, I didn't care about Lu Yixing's objection anymore, I dragged Lu Yixing directly to his room, and blinked at him.

He immediately understood what I meant, fell asleep and fell asleep.

I also hurried back to my room, said goodnight to Rashomon, and closed the door to sleep.

Although I lay on the bed with my eyes closed, I dare not fall asleep, for fear that Rashomon would sneak out while I was asleep, and I would lose such a rare opportunity to peep!
So I ran to the cat's eye to take a look almost every few minutes to make sure that Rashomon hadn't left, and then I lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

An hour later, I ran to the cat's eye and looked outside again, and found that Rashomon had left at some point. I was anxious, opened the door and ran out, looked around, but didn't notice Rashomon. The figure of Shengmen confirmed that the other party had indeed gone downstairs, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Unexpectedly, Rashomon ran away not long ago, and now I went to the counter to borrow a mirror. I have been hiding in the dark so that Rashomon will not find me.

After he was far away, I hurriedly chased after him. Seeing him walking into the willow forest, I followed him again.

The Rashomon stopped at the same position as yesterday, followed the same steps, and then a white light was released from the high-tech mirror, and a voice came from inside: "How is the situation?"

"Master, yesterday we encountered Yin soldiers to make excuses, and ended up scaring away the three hundred cat evil soldiers, so there was no large-scale fight. But something happened to Liu Baisui..."

"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me." The old man said hurriedly, as if he cared about me.I wiped it, and I thought to myself that I don't seem to know this old man, why does this old man care so much about me.

Is it possible to be courteous for nothing, rape or steal?But I think this Rashomon is quite decent, he doesn't look like a crooked person at all.

Forget it, let's listen to what Rashomon has to say first.

"There was a pig-headed monster in the errand, who actually gave Liu Baisui a pipe and pot, saying that it was given to him by his grandfather through the pig-headed monster. It seems that this thing belongs to the bull-headed master in the bull-headed horse face?"

"What!" The old fellow in the mirror gasped, "I never thought that Old Liu's life is so good that he got Lao Niu's baby bump."

I was quite puzzled in my heart at the time, thinking how could my life be good if I got this thing?Isn't this why my grandfather got this stuff because of his good friendship with Niutou?
Rashomon took the initiative to ask me the doubts in my heart: "Master, what's going on? Why did Master Niutou's baby pimple get into the hands of Grandpa Liu Baisui? Didn't it mean that this thing represents Grandpa Niutou? life?"

The old voice said: "Yes, this thing does represent Grandpa Niutou's wealth and life. If the cigarette stick is gone, Niutou will have nothing to live for. It's just that Niutou has been investigated recently. The fire burned my ass, and I couldn't bear it any longer, so I quickly scattered all my belongings."

Crap this!This was my first thought at the time.

The investigation by the higher authorities is fierce, and the anti-corruption campaign has entered a fierce stage, and a high-ranking official is dropped almost every day.Who would have thought that the following would also do this, even Grandpa Niutou would be unlucky...

From Grandpa Niutou, I suddenly thought of ***, grandma, these two people should belong to the same class.

My family belongs to the north, and every year during the Chinese New Year, there is a god with a bull head and a horse face. If Grandpa Bull Head burps, then I don’t know if the New Year picture should be replaced.
Hey, when is this, why do I still think about these messy things?So he quickly withdrew his thoughts.

"Master, what happened to the bull-headed master?" Rashomon asked.

"Show off your wealth." The old voice said: "As a civil servant, I don't even have this awareness. I deserve to be investigated. A beast is a beast after all."

I was speechless for a while, this sentence is really incisive.

Here I have to explain the allusion of the bull head again.

It is said that the bull head and horse face is based on the image of the ecstasy messenger in traditional Chinese culture.According to the "Tiecheng Mud Plow Classic", when Ah Bang was a human being, because he was not filial to his parents, he took the body of a bull's head in the underworld after his death, serving as a yamen servant who patrolled and searched for escaped sinners.

Some sources say that Buddhism only had bull heads at the beginning. When it was introduced to China, it was matched with horse faces because the folks were most concerned about symmetry and pairing.

But there is also information that the horse face is also called the horse face Rakshasa, which also comes from Buddhism.

Niutou is called Ah Bang and Ah Fang. The "Five Suffering Chapters" says: "The jailer's name is A Bang, with a bull's head and human hands, two feet of a bull's hoof, strong enough to row mountains, and holding a steel hairpin." Some Buddhist scriptures say that the bullhead is also a "guardian", patrolling and arresting escaped prisoners. meaning.

According to folklore, the bull head and horse face are sometimes the minions of Hades and judges, sometimes they like to take advantage of small things, sometimes they do things that violate the law and discipline, and sometimes they are very sympathetic.These are also the images of human servants in the feudal era.

The story of the bull head and horse face tells us that no matter how rich you are, you can’t show off your wealth. Those who show off their wealth can only become Guo Meimei, and those who don’t show off their wealth can become the real Bai Fumei.

Rashomon didn't ask too much about the bull-headed horse noodles. Even if we know more about the bull-headed horse noodles, we can't tell the story of the bull-headed horse noodles with the three hundred cat soldiers, right?

So Rashomon returned to the main topic: "Master, have you studied how we can deal with the three hundred cat demon soldiers?"

"Well, my original plan was to ask you to change the Feng Shui situation, maybe you can temporarily suppress the three hundred evil cat soldiers, but the risk of doing so is too great. Now that you have Master Niutou's cigarette pipe and pot in your hands, the matter It’s much easier to handle.”

Rashomon was stunned for a moment: "Master, didn't the pipe and pot say that it must use Geranium grass to exert its power?"

"Who told you?" The old man said in surprise, "You haven't reached the level of knowing this secret yet."

Rashomon said: "A ghost messenger told us that one passed by us yesterday and was lost by Liu Baisui, and today he came to look for his arm and was forcibly kept by Liu Baisui. We are the ghost messenger who asked!"

"That little bastard, he behaves just like his grandfather." The old man cursed.Damn, how dare you scold my grandpa, I really wanted to jump out and teach that old bastard a lesson.

But for the sake of the overall situation, I still resisted the urge to punch someone.

"Well, geranium is a good way, but this geranium is not a cure for the symptoms, it can only temporarily confuse the minds of those things. If you want to really get rid of these three hundred cat evil soldiers, you still have to ask the bull head master to do it yourself. Let's go."

"What?" Rashomon was stunned immediately, and I followed suit, asking with a puzzled expression: "Master, are you kidding me, a man as powerful as Master Niutou will help us get rid of these three hundred cats?" Sha Bing?"

"In the past, it would have been impossible. But now that you have this cow-style cigarette stick, of course it is possible. This cow-style smoke stick has been with the bull-head master for so long, and it can interact with the bull-head. If When you worship this cow-style cigarette pole, the bull head can sense it, and it will come. At that time, let Liu Baisui tell them about the three hundred cat soldiers, and the bull head master will take the initiative to help even if he wants to accumulate virtue. You get rid of those three hundred cat demon soldiers. After all, such evil things as three hundred cat demon soldiers are rare. I guess they are rushing to get such a great merit!"

I felt happy in my heart. Damn it, there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain. I didn't expect this problem to be solved so easily.Although this thing is a headache for us, it is a sweet pastry for people of Niutou's level.

Rashomon was excited, and said repeatedly: "Well, okay, master, I will trouble you this time..."

The old man nodded indifferently: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, go back quickly, so as not to be suspected by Liu Baisui."

I stood up from the ground in a hurry and was about to go back.

But who knew that this foot was missed, and it actually hit a brick, and the brick immediately fell down, making a series of rustling sounds.

Rashomon was startled immediately and shouted, "Who is it?"

I immediately covered my mouth and lay motionless on the ground.Seeing that Rashomon walking towards me step by step, I felt uneasy for a while, thinking that if Rashomon found out, it would be a big trouble, how should I explain to him then?This Rashomon knows that I have discovered his secret, how will he face me?
For a while, my heart was very chaotic, and my thoughts seemed to be frozen.

Seeing that Rashomon getting closer, I almost stood up and revealed my identity.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the little mouse in my arms was very considerate, and imitated the puppy barking twice, and then ran away in a whizzing distance.

Hearing the sound of the puppy barking, Rashomon uttered two words of complaint: "Hmph, it turned out to be a dog."

My feeling at the moment is: learning one more foreign language can sometimes save lives.

I slipped away without a sound, the little mouse was already waiting for me outside the willow forest, after I put the little mouse in my arms, I sneaked back and lay on the bed pretending to be asleep.

Ten minutes later, Rashomon also came back. After tidying up, he knocked on the door of Lu Yixing and me.

Lu Yixing and I walked out of the room yawning.Of course, Lu Yixing was really yawning, but I was pretending to be yawning.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sleepy that I have a sore back. Liu Zi, do you have a sore back? Is it because I can't get used to Simmons' sleep these days." Lu Yixing asked.

Hey, don't tell me, even though I didn't sleep, I do have a sore back and a sore back, it hurts so fucking badly.

I said, "Yeah, my back hurts too!"

Of course, I didn't sleep, but I kept a posture in the willow forest for too long, which caused my backache.

"It seems that both of us are poor. I will take you to sleep on a plank bed for two days, so you can sleep." Lu Yixing said, "By the way, Rashomon, what's the matter with you waking us up?"

Rashomon said, "I thought of an idea to deal with the three hundred Maosha soldiers."
