Chapter 19 Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Five

In the past few days, Peng Bai and Wang Tuozi quarreled every day. Wang Tuozi had to ask for him, so he had to endure it silently. Peng Baizhi waited proudly until the day when he opened Wei Ning's coffin. In the evening, Peng Bai, Wang Tuozi, and Qiqisan finished their dinner, and they waited until the sun had completely set before coming out dressed neatly and solemnly.It is a big taboo to open the coffin, even Peng Bai and Wang Tuozi dare not be careless, not to mention opening the coffin of a blood corpse, if you are not careful, you will go away.According to the rules of the ancestors, all three of them put on a set of mourning clothes, built a mourning hall for Wei Ning, and put three animals and nine animals on the stage.When the coffin was opened, the sky could not be exposed, so Qi Qi covered Wei Ning's coffin with fine white silk to ward off evil spirits.The three of them each put a jade pendant in their mouths, one can ward off evil spirits, and the other can prevent getting angry.

With a solemn expression, Peng Bai walked up to Wei Ning's coffin and told Wang Tuozi with gestures that he had to do something, and asked Wang Tuozi and Qi Qi to protect the law. Wang Tuozi nodded. When opening the coffin, the first thing to pay attention to is to "break the five dragons", and ask the guardian beasts to leave.Peng Bai's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to be careless. He placed a mirror, peach branches, peach wood swords, seven jujube stones, brooms, bells, Yijing, Tongshu, ink fountain lines, masonry awls, axes and rulers, glutinous rice, rice, etc. in the mourning hall. Rice sieve, red beans, etc., almost all the things to ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts, as long as he can get it, he has already taken it out. It can be seen how much he attaches importance to this Wei Ning.

Holding the broom, Peng Bai carefully swept the dust on the coffin, but he didn't dare to touch the charms attached to the coffin. After carefully playing around the coffin with the ink fountain, Peng Bai said to Qi Qi: "Wait When you lay down my coffin, you put these charms on Wei Ning's head one by one, remember, you must first paste the new charms before removing the old ones, otherwise Wei Ning will go away at any time." After finishing speaking, Peng Bai lit a pile of fire and fiddled with the fire with the tongs. After a while, the flames became more and more prosperous, and clusters of flames danced. Talking about it.Peng Bai harmed too many people here, and at this critical moment, he had to burn some money for these ghosts who died unjustly, so that they would not come to cause trouble for him at this critical moment.According to the Taoist method, Peng Bai first drew a cross on the ground, then put the paper money in the middle of the cross and burned it.

Peng Bai's technique is also very particular. The crosses drawn should be horizontal and vertical in the east, west, south and north. "; its four corners, the southeast is "Youye", the southwest is "Youguan", the northeast is "Youdu", the northwest is "Youfu", and the center of the cross is "Youprison".The meaning of drawing the cross is that no matter where the dead person is, they can receive this ghost money. Putting the paper money on the "cross" is to prevent other ghosts from robbing.After the paper money was burnt and the lonely ghosts in the vicinity were appeased, Peng Bai walked around the coffin for a few times, as if he was not at ease, he sprinkled glutinous rice water on the coffin, and then motioned for Qiqi and Wang Tuozi , he is going to do it.

Peng Bai silently chanted a mantra that even Wang Tuozi hadn't heard before, holding a strange formula with his hands, which didn't look like the Taoist formula of the Central Plains, it should be something from the Western Regions.Suddenly the thumb of his right hand stretched out, and an open flame was lit on the fingertip of the thumb. The color of the fire was dim, emitting a faint green light. Peng Bai lit his index finger of his right hand, thumb, index finger and ring finger of his left hand one by one, and five green lights suddenly appeared. Bright and dark flickering, adding a bit of ghostly air to the air.

Peng Bai lit the five lamps on the five feet of the coffin.This coffin is not made of ordinary wood, but high-quality peach wood.The so-called broken yin with peach wood, Zhang Ye built this special coffin according to Ding Ying's instructions, in order to prevent the combination of yin and yang between Wei Ning and heaven and earth on the road.The coffin pays attention to the theory of "three long and two short", and the front and back are nailed with three long and two short five golden nails, which happens to be where Peng Bai used to light the lamp.After burning for a while, the light suddenly began to shake violently, and five blue smoke jumped out of the flame one by one, and five green dragons appeared in the air, appearing and disappearing from time to time. These are the five divine beasts guarding the coffin.Peng Bai hurriedly offered incense, and asked the five beasts to leave. The beasts stopped in the air for a while, and then disappeared. Then Peng Bai carefully extinguished the five blue lanterns, and pried the nails off the coffin, A golden urn emerged from it.The top of the urn was densely covered with various spells, Peng Bai turned the gold urn over, and a blood corpse suddenly appeared inside, sitting down with his head bowed.When Qiqi and Wang Tuozi saw it, although they couldn't recognize if it was Wei Ning, they thought it was probably not bad, and their expressions darkened.

Wei Ning's forehead was stuck with a black Hades talisman, Peng Bai called Qi Qi, and signaled Qi Qi to stick the talisman on Wei Ning's body before uncovering the old talisman, Qi Qi knew that this was a big deal , not daring to be careless, carefully pasted the spell on it.Wang Tuozi and Peng Bai's hearts were in their throats, for fear that something might happen. Peng Bai took out the undead bones wrapped in layers of silk that were sacrificed on the altar, and tied them with a white rope.Then he took out a piece of white paper money from his pocket, about 8 cm in diameter, and tied a white thread to the paper money.Peng Bai pinched the end of the white thread, let the paper money hang down naturally, the paper money was about 25 cm above the ground, and then started to walk around the four corners of the house.

Of course, Qiqi couldn't understand it, but Wang Tuozi understood that this was a low-level folk art called "pulling the soul".It is said that on the day of May 7th after a person dies, that is, on the day of going to the May 7th grave, his relatives will search for the soul in the house where he lived before his death, and then send it to the cemetery.The process of searching for the soul is called pulling the soul. I never thought that this old man who has lived for more than a hundred years with profound Taoism would use such a low-level method to revive Wei Ning's soul, and spread it without making people laugh. .

Peng Bai didn't think so, but his expression was solemn. In his mind, Taoism has always been the difference between practical and inconvenient, convenient and inconvenient, but there is no saying that it is popular or not. As long as it is useful, it is exquisite Taoism. This kind of trick is really inferior, but it is very effective in drawing out Wei Ning's soul. The white thread in Peng Bai's hand became brighter and brighter, and the red beads on the altar became more and more active. It was obvious that he had sensed it, and Peng Bai was overjoyed. Suddenly there was a meowing sound.

"Not good!" Peng Bai's heart trembled, and he couldn't help shouting out. Why didn't this thing be fastened at such a critical moment? The cat was shocked!
