Chapter 11

There are ten schools of occult art in the way of heaven; one is the school of gods, which can hold thunder to pass through the gods; For the Ice family, the ice is flying frost; the sixth is for the poison family, cultivating poison and casting spells; the seventh is for the Gu family, raising insects to make Gu; Home, Tongtian divination.

There are also Qimen Dunjia, sackclothed fortune-tellers, refining corpses and raising ghosts, none of which are among the ten schools of Taoism. ——Excerpted from Chapter [-] of the Eight Volumes of Tongyin in "Wordless Book of Heaven".

……

Bai Shibao ran quickly to the main hall of the house with a bowl of steaming dumplings in his hand. Yan Xisan carried a gun on his back, knowing that the devil was terrible, so he copied Bai Shibao's gun in his hand in case of emergency.

The two quickly arrived at the main hall, where many officers and soldiers fell in disorder on the hall floor, their clothes were scratched and shredded, blood was flowing from the scratched chest, all over the ground.Commander Xu was guarded by Lieutenant Li and other officers and soldiers with guns. His face was full of wounds, and he stammered, "Quick, kill her...Kill her!"

The aunt who was pregnant with a ghost in the hall had disheveled hair and a pale face. She pinched a man's neck with both hands, and licked that man's neck with her purple tongue.Bai Shibao took a closer look, he was wearing a gray cloth coat and gold spectacles, the medicine box was overturned under his feet, and the medicine bags were scattered all over the floor, obviously he was a doctor who was captured by them.

"Master! The dumplings are ready!"

Bai Shibao saw that Zhang Blind was holding a whip to scare ghosts, and was confronting the aunt, who had a hostage in her hand. Zhang Blind was afraid of hurting innocent people, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Don't go there, throw the dumpling on the ground and let it eat..." Zhang Xiazi said anxiously.

Bai Shibao understood, and placed the steaming bowl of dumplings in front of the little aunt, then pulled back, and saw that the little aunt really changed, as if she smelled the smell of dumplings, sniffed it with her nose, and the long tongue was more like Like a snake tongue, searching for the location of the scent.

suddenly!

The little aunt let go of her hands, pushed the doctor aside, threw herself on the ground, rolled up the dumplings with her tongue and swallowed them.The strength of this ghost was so great that it pushed the doctor several meters away, and hit the wall heavily, knocked a hole in his head, and passed out immediately.

The corner of Zhang Blind's mouth smiled, and he thought to himself: "Eat it! I'll send you on your way when you're full!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Blind kicked the ground with his foot, and kicked the gun barrel on the ground towards my aunt, who waved her hand. Blind Zhang found out the direction, waved the ghost whip and drew it towards her, before the sound was heard, the whip stopped, and the other end was caught by the young lady in her hand.

Blind Zhang was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he was pulled back by the auntie with astonishing strength. He pulled Zhang Blind over, and then tightly grabbed Zhang Blind's neck with both hands, and suddenly he couldn't breathe freely. His face turned red, and he shouted anxiously, "Why do you still have so much strength?"

"Master, she hasn't finished eating the dumplings yet!" Bai Shibao said anxiously.

"what……"

Blind Zhang couldn't breathe, he wrapped the scaring ghost whip around his arm, freed his hands, opened the little aunt's fingers, and then leaned back violently.Everyone was so frightened that they curled up aside, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, Bai Shibao picked up the barrel of his gun, and slammed the butt of the gun at the little aunt's body, but he still couldn't separate them. Zhang Blind, whose face had turned purple from being strangled by her, stared and asked, "You...what are you doing?" How many dumplings did you have?"

"There are seventeen or eight!" Bai Shibao said.

"Bastard! What are you doing with so much? Just one dumpling, quickly find the dumpling filled with charms and feed it to her..."

Bai Shibao hurriedly picked up the remaining half bowl of dumplings, squeezed the hardness with his hands, found the softest one, thought that this was the dumpling wrapped in talisman paper, then opened the little aunt's mouth, and stuffed the dumpling go in.For a moment, Auntie let go of her hand, lying on the ground enjoying chewing, and then suddenly her face changed drastically, her eyes were about to split open, and her whole body trembled non-stop.

Blind Zhang rolled over and escaped, picked up the Scaring Ghost Whip and hit her head with a whip, which made her howl suddenly, black blood flowed from her abdomen, and she rolled on the ground continuously, her teeth rattling.Blind Zhang hit the iron while it was hot, and whipped the whip one after another. After a while, my aunt passed out.

"Hurry up and pick some willow branches in the yard..." Zhang Xiazi said anxiously.

Bai Shibao ran to the yard, folded a handful of willow branches and leaves, folded them in half according to Zhang Blindman's instructions, and threw them into a brazier. In the brazier, and then chanted a mantra to activate the yin fire, and burned the willow branches in the basin.My aunt's swollen stomach gradually became smaller. When the willow branches in the brazier had been burned to ashes, her stomach returned to normal, but she was still unconscious.

"The ghost has been expelled, go and scatter the ashes from the brazier at the door!" Blind Zhang said.

Seeing that the situation was calm, Yan Xisan jumped out and said, "You rest, I'll take care of this trivial matter!"

Commander Xu was supported by the officers and soldiers, and asked respectfully to Zhang Blind: "Master, I wrongly blamed you earlier, please don't blame me, but why did my wife get pregnant?"

"Ghosts can also be divided into good and evil. Even if it is an evil ghost, if you don't take the initiative to provoke it, it will not enmity with you. Your little aunt's body has been eaten away by this ghost's womb. Please bury it well!"

After hearing this, Commander Xu looked at the little aunt who was lying on the ground, heartbroken, and ordered the officers and soldiers to carry the body to a side room and put it in the ground for a proper burial on a good day in the future.

"Master, are you in good health?" Seeing that Blind Zhang was out of breath, Bai Shibao worried about his health.

"This matter is not over yet, and the more serious ones are yet to come..." Blind Zhang turned and sat on the chair, taking a deep breath and saying.

"The evil spirit who is the chief culprit has not been eliminated, no, it should be said that it is a pervert, coveting the beauty of my little aunt and then killing her..." Yan Xisan walked into the room and said after scattering willow ashes at the door.

Seeing Commander Xu's gloomy face, Bai Shibao thought to himself which pot Yan Xisan would not open and which pot to lift. He said this at this time, not seeking death. After covering Yan Xisan's mouth, Bai Shibao hurriedly asked blind Zhang: "Master, what should we do next?" ?”

Blind Zhang sighed: "I suspect this is not a ghost, but a walking corpse!"

"Walking corpse?" Everyone was surprised after hearing this.

"There are two kinds of corpses. After death for a long time, the body becomes stiff, which is a zombie. The other is that after death, the body has not become stiff, and some Taoists with evil intentions made a walking corpse. The three souls of the walking dead are scattered. Only the seven souls are left in the body, so the spirits are all there, and can be bred and regenerated, so I suspect that someone has a grudge against Commander Xu, so he made a walking corpse to harm your family."

Commander Xu bowed his head and pondered for a while when blind Zhang said this, then suddenly remembered something, raised his head suddenly and said such a thing...

When Commander Xu led his troops to fight fiercely in Sichuan and Shu, he encountered a group of peaks on his way, and there was a natural moat between the peaks.

Commander Xu was eager to cross the river and looked for a way to cross the river. Officers and soldiers reported that they encountered a bamboo forest, but there were hundreds of solitary graves buried in this bamboo forest. Make bamboo rafts to expose hundreds of solitary graves.

After the bamboo rafts were ready, Commander Xu took hundreds of officers and soldiers across a river on bamboo rafts, intending to smuggle and attack the enemy. In the river.Commander Xu escaped with his life by chance. He thought that the ghost in the solitary tomb was responsible for the trouble, so he was angry, so he dug up all the solitary tombs, leaving the corpses outside. Finally, he spread his resentment on the heads of hundreds of local villagers. After burning, killing and looting In order to worship the drowned officers and soldiers, hundreds of households in the village were immersed in pig cages.

Later, a barefoot Taoist priest advised him that he knew he had made a big mistake, so he slaughtered pigs and sheep on the day of sacrifice, paying homage to the souls of the dead, relying on the protection of gods and ghosts.After many years, Commander Xu went to the north to become an official, and he has been living in peace, so the matter is over.

After hearing this, Zhang Blind Man sighed and said, "When a person dies, he chooses a shelter and only wants to be quiet, but you dig up the grave and leave the dead body in the wilderness. This is retribution..."

"I already knew that I was wrong. Every year, I burn paper to pay homage to him." Commander Xu also regretted the troubles he caused in those years. Now that he has cut off his children and grandchildren, it can be regarded as retribution.

"You don't know, in the southern border area, witchcraft and Gu are very good. If you have a grudge, and I lower your head for you, you are dead. I guess this walking corpse is made by an expert. I'm afraid It's not easy to deal with!"

Blind Zhang closed his eyes tightly after finishing speaking, completely ignoring Commander Xu's complaints. Bai Shibao felt that Blind Zhang was exhausted, so he walked up to Blind Zhang and asked in a low voice, "Master."

Before Bai Shibao finished speaking, Zhang Blindness waved his hand to stop him and said, "Therefore, different Taoisms do not conspire with each other, and the teachings of different Taoism sects are different, so we have no right to interfere. Moreover, the hatred between them is deep, and we are even outsiders..."

Boom!

After hearing this, Commander Xu hurriedly knelt down in front of blind Zhang, folded his hands together, and kowtowed repeatedly: "I beg you to save my life, my family has a lot of wealth and I am willing to spend money to avoid disaster, just to save my life!"

Blind Zhang thought in his heart that if he helped him, he would definitely provoke the Witchcraft and Taoist faction, and he would inevitably be involved. If he didn't help, Commander Xu would die. Although his death is not a big deal, he just hates leaving a walking corpse as a disaster, I'm afraid Find another investor, and make people miserable.Furthermore, Blind Zhang hated these insidious techniques of refining corpses and poisoning them, which violated the law of heaven.

"I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Commander Xu was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk about one thing, ten or a hundred will do!"

"After the matter subsides, if someone asks you, just pretend you don't know, and don't mention me to anyone."

Commander Xu thought that this matter was not difficult, so he immediately ordered that no rumors be allowed about this matter, if anyone else knew that he did not recognize anyone at gunpoint, the officers and soldiers would understand after hearing this, gritted their teeth, and decided to swallow this matter. Even if it turns into a fart, it can't be released.

Bai Shibao asked Blind Zhang why he couldn't tell in a low voice, if he said it, wouldn't it be profitable if his reputation spread?Blind Zhang replied: "Witchcraft and Taoism know that if we intervene, we will definitely cause trouble. Besides, we people who walk in the shadows only want the yin and yang under our feet, and we don't want to talk about fame and wealth."

Bai Shibao nodded in understanding, keeping everything that Zhang Xiazi said firmly in his heart.

"Master, how are we going to catch this evil spirit? No, catch this walking corpse?" Seeing that Commander Xu dispatched troops to surround the main hall like an iron bucket, Yan Xisan interrupted and asked.

"The walking corpse is a dead person. It's useless to place these guns. Go and break some willow branches and weave them into ropes. You can help me later!"

After hearing this, everyone threw their guns aside, and went to break the willow branches in the courtyard. Several old weeping willow trees were stripped naked in an instant, and even the bark was peeled off by the officers and soldiers to make leather clothing for body protection.

Blind Zhang pulled Bai Shibao, called him aside, took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Bai Shibao, saying, "Take it! If anything happens to me, you will pass this on."

Bai Shibao looked down and was immediately surprised. This scroll is actually a roster that records the yin walkers of all ages. When he was visiting the teacher that day, Zhang Blind said that this scroll would only be passed on to me when his yang life was exhausted. Could it be that the master...
