Night Lights

Chapter 12

Buddhism and Taoism share the same sect, and experience and enlightenment have the same origin; Zen Buddhists abstain from the five meat and three disgusts, which are the eight precepts; those who practice the Tao prohibit the five meat and three filth, which are the eight precepts; Buddhist bliss, sitting into the sky, Taoism, emptiness, feather into Immortals; the Buddha's heart sees nature, the extraordinary way; the word "Tao" can accommodate all principles; ——Excerpted from the general history of Taoism in "Book of Words Without Words".

"Walking corpses are no small matter. Their power is infinite. After being refined by human beings, they are even more copper-headed and iron-boned, and their power is greatly increased. I think it is inevitable that people will die here. You should keep this scroll of Yin Yang Dao school well. If you have the opportunity to understand it in the future It is recorded in the book, and there will be success!"

Zhang Xiazi gave out the orthodox name of Zou Yin, the school of Yin and Yang.It turns out that Zou Yin is a Yin-Yang sect branched from Maoshan Daoist sect, but why didn't Zhang Xiazi say anything when he accepted Bai Shibao as his disciple that day?There may be another clue to the story.

Bai Shibao hid the scroll and watched everyone holding willow sticks and sticks, keeping their positions, how could he leave his master and live?Bai Shibao couldn't do such a rebellious thing, and besides, he only had one year to live, if there was no Blind Zhang to support and help him, how could he increase his lifespan?

It was always wrong to think before and after, so he asked blind Zhang: "Master, is there no other way?"

"The work of expelling ghosts and catching corpses was not originally a business for us shady people. I just couldn't bear the evil people's smelting corpses to catch ghosts; as the saying goes: "Walk the ghosts, and the skills are poor and orphans. I, Zhang Yibai, learned from my teacher back then. My fate, I can be regarded as God favored me to live for so long, if I don't do something for righteousness, how can I be worthy of my patriarch if I run away from battle?"

Seeing that Blind Zhang refused to leave, Bai Shibao tried to find a way to stay, and asked, "Am I your apprentice?"

"Of course, you entered the roster to pay homage to the patriarch, and you also collected the Taoist biography, why aren't you my apprentice?"

"Since I am your apprentice, not to mention the secret method, I haven't even taught me a single trick. How can I master it alone? Also, this old book doesn't have a drop of ink, and even you can't understand it. How can I understand this? If the school is ruined in my hands in the future, how will you explain to the ancestors and the ancestors?"

Bai Shibao had exhausted his scheming by asking three times in succession, and blamed Zhang Xiazi for the responsibility. This is a heavy responsibility. Let's bet how he can take it!

"This..." Blind Zhang said in astonishment.

When Bai Shibao saw that Blind Zhang was being questioned, he hurriedly said while the iron was hot: "So, I want to stay with Master. On the one hand, I will learn the skills of this trade from Master, and on the other hand, I will help you catch corpses; so as not to spread the word to others in the future." Saying that I, Bai Shibao, was a counselor, not only slandered the name of my arsenal family, but also made people laugh at our perverted heirs..."

Blind Zhang said helplessly, "Since that's the case, you can't act without authorization. Everything is behind me."

"to make!"

After spending a long time, Bai Shibao finally melted away the blind man's stubbornness. He picked up the hat on his head, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuff.

Commander Xu ran towards the main hall with Lieutenant Li and two entourages. When he saw Bai Shibao's big black braid, he was taken aback for a moment, then turned to Zhang Blind and asked, "Master, the inside and outside of the door have been arranged. What do you see next?"

"Prepare me a pot of black dog's blood and an old hen, I want to set up an altar!"

After hearing this, Commander Xu hurriedly asked someone to arrange it. Not long after, someone came and slaughtered the black dog in the house on the spot, put the dog's blood in a big bowl, and brought an old hen and put it beside Zhang blind.

Blind Zhang placed the Eight Immortals table in the courtyard, took off his gown, turned it over, took out a black pen and cinnabar from his hidden pocket, dripped the blood of a black dog into the cinnabar powder, stirred it evenly, and drew symbols on the yellow paper; Put the grain into a bowl, put three incense sticks on it, and then asked Commander Xu: "Among the officers and soldiers, are there any people who were born in the cloudy year?"

"What's the matter?" Commander Xu asked.

"Borrowing from a ghost!" Blind Zhang replied.

Of course, Commander Xu didn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He ordered Lieutenant Li to ask the officers and soldiers if there were any people who were suitable for Yin years. People born during the lunar cloudy period.Blind Zhang cut their middle fingers to get blood, dripped them on two pieces of yellow paper respectively, then stepped on the ground, cast a spell, tore the two pieces of yellow paper into two small figures, and hung them next to the incense burner.

"Master, why do you use a ghost to get on your body?" Bai Shibao stood beside the altar and watched in fascination, but he didn't understand the mystery.

"Without relying on the power of ghosts, how can we mortals fight against the refined walking corpses?"

"Is it enough to recruit only two ghosts?" Bai Shibao asked.

"This mantra of borrowing ghosts consumes a lot of energy and energy, and also damages the life of the yang. My ability can only recruit five yin ghosts to help, but the yin ghost needs a physical body to be attached to the body. Now there are only two yin-year-old people, so You can only recruit two Yin ghosts to compete, and in the future, after you learn this method, accumulate a lot of Yin money, and cultivate your mana well, it is very possible to recruit ten Yin ghosts in time!" Zhang Xiazi said.

After hearing this, Bai Shibao thought to himself, if he could recruit ten ghosts at the same time, how much skill would he need?Master has only recruited five Yin ghosts in half his life, and I only have one year of life left. How can I cultivate to such a high level? It must be because Master makes me happy.

Bang!
Boom boom boom!
Before Bai Shibao had time to think about it, a loud noise attracted the attention of everyone in the house.

"Ah...here we come!"

The gate of the house was shattered, and a black figure ran in from the inside, with disheveled hair, red eyes dripping with blood, purple lips and black tongue, white hair on his face, red tendons on his head, and talismans all over his shroud. The tadpole armor script on the talisman paper was wonderfully written, more like a ghostly talisman. The man glanced around, ignored everyone, and walked straight to the side room where the aunt's body was placed.

"The body can bend, but the limbs are not stiff, so it really is a walking corpse..." Bai Shibao remembered what Zhang Blind said before, if the body becomes stiff, it is a zombie, and if the body is not stiff, it is a walking corpse.

Everyone was at a loss in a hurry, but they heard Zhang Blind shout loudly: "Quickly lock it with willow branches, don't let it go into the room, if you see a ghost fetus being aborted, something will happen!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Xu hurriedly ordered all the officers and soldiers to tear off the long rope made of willow branches to tie the walking corpse. The walking corpse just walked forward, completely ignoring the willow rope around its neck. The officers and soldiers were not strong enough, like a tug-of-war , was dragged away by the walking dead.Seeing this, Bai Shibao pulled Yan Xisan and hurriedly replenished his manpower, but he couldn't bear the strength of the walking corpse, as if being pulled, he couldn't move at all, but was dragged away several meters.

Bai Shibao saw that the walking corpse was about to enter the side room, so he shouted, "Master, I can't trap him!"

"Don't worry! Hold on a little longer."

Blind Zhang clapped his hands on the Dharma altar, and the grains in the bowl were splashed out. Blind Zhang listened to the sound to identify the position, reached out and grabbed it, held the bean grain in his palm and rubbed it, it turned into bean powder, and sent to the two yellow sheets. As soon as the paper figurines were sprinkled, and they chanted a mantra, suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the two yellow figures floated up and flew to the two yin-year-old officers and soldiers. Touching the ground, he walked up tremblingly.

"Flick away..."

As Blind Zhang yelled, everyone saw the two officers and soldiers jumping to the side of the walking corpse, grabbing the walking corpse's shoulders with both hands, pulling hard, and dragging the walking corpse back with their backhands.

"Okay, that's amazing..." Bai Shibao said in surprise.

"Don't stand still, I'll bind it with a ghost, and you'll splash it with chicken blood!" Zhang Blind clasped the tactic with both hands, and following the movements of his fingers, the two officers and soldiers also responded in the same way.

Bai Shibao ran to the altar, grabbed the rooster's comb, wiped the chicken's neck with a knife, and the hot, bright red chicken blood spurted out. Bai Shibao took a bowl full, ran to the walking corpse with the chicken blood, and splashed it with his hand. , With the scream of the walking corpse, the whole body seemed to be soaked in golden water, and it rotted away.

"It's done?" Bai Shibao thought to himself.

"what……"

Before the words finished, Zhang Blind screamed loudly in front of the altar. Bai Shibao turned his head and saw that Zhang Blind's fingers were snapped off abruptly. Then he saw that the walking corpse did not fall down. The officer and soldier were torn in two, blood flowed out immediately, and the hearts, spleen, stomach and kidneys were scattered all over the ground.Seeing this, all the officers and soldiers trembled with fright, curled up aside and fainted from fright.

Beads of sweat fell like rain from Zhang Blind's forehead, and he shouted, "A body has been broken, and there is nowhere for ghosts to cast their souls. Come and make up for it!"

At this moment, everyone was in danger of protecting themselves, how could they dare to stand up, Bai Shibao shouted anxiously when he saw this, "Master, I'll come..."

Blind Zhang manipulated the officers and soldiers possessed by ghosts to hug the corpse tightly with one hand, and then said to Bai Shibao: "You are not a Yin year old man, take off your shirt soon, I will draw a talisman for you to change your life!"

Bai Shibao hurriedly took off his shirt. Enduring the pain, Blind Zhang used the broken finger to hold a black pen, dipped in cinnabar, and drew a spell on Bai Shibao's body while reciting the incantation. After drawing, he said to Bai Shibao: "You The date of birth has been changed, the horoscope has changed, and it can be used by ghosts. The walking corpse has a vital point on its body. After a while, you will be caught by a ghost, and I will control your body to attack that vital point, but the walking corpse is powerful. It may hurt his body!"

"If I hadn't met Master, I'm afraid I've already gone to the underworld, and now I can only live because of Master's help, so I can use this body..."

"Good apprentice, I will protect you for my master!" Blind Zhang snapped.

Bai Shibao thought to himself whether it was life or death, take a gamble, if it succeeds it will be the best, if it fails, it will not disappoint Master's expectations.Before he finished thinking, Bai Shibao suddenly felt drowsy, and the wind from behind was blowing against his back, his body couldn't help but lighten, and his heels floated.In an instant, Bai Shibao turned his head sharply, and saw a white-faced ghost rushing towards him, stretching the soles of his feet under his feet, his whole body went numb and he lost consciousness.

……

Zhang Blind's face was pale, and he waved his hands in front of the altar, driving Bai Shibao and another officer and soldier who were possessed by two ghosts. The flesh and flesh of the walking corpses were all damaged, but the bones were still there, supporting the body to resist the possession of the two ghosts. body.The three flesh bodies wrestled into a ball, and the stone steps were crushed wherever they went, and all the trees were broken.

Under the control of Zhang Blind Man's spell, Bai Shibao's physical body attacked the eyes of the walking corpse, but the walking corpse was too strong to succeed. With two lives, it is natural not to let go easily.

"Is it so desperate for a few silver dollars? Bai Ye, I'm sorry, 36 plans, I'll go for the best plan..." Yan Xisan saw that the walking corpse was so powerful, and Zhang Blind was already exhausted and sweating profusely, so he persisted Come down, lose on time, wouldn't you be an idiot if you don't run now.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Yan Xisan turned around and ran, but suddenly felt a strong wind blowing behind him, and turned his head to look, scared out of his wits!

Bai Shibao and the officer's body hugged the walking corpse and threw it backwards, throwing the walking corpse into the air, hitting Yan Xisan right on the body, pressing Yan Xisan under him, before the walking corpse got up, Bai Shibao and the officer and soldier The two flesh bodies flew forward and pressed down the walking corpse tightly.

Poor Yan Xisan was pressed at the bottom and became a pad for the bottom.

"Master Bai, save me quickly..."
