Chapter 12 Zhoucang Palace Temple
In the early morning, at the door of the house, Chen Xiaoxuan was carrying a schoolbag, Chen Chu was carrying luggage, and his father, Chen Weiguang, was loading a tool box on his motorcycle: "Ci Chu, are you and Xiaoxuan sure you want to go out for such a long time?"
Chen Chu hummed: "Kindergarten has a holiday. Taking Xiaoxuan out for a walk can increase his knowledge."
Chen Weiguang got on the motorcycle, glanced at Chen Xiaoxuan, and said calmly: "Just take good care of him."
It seems that this father still pretends to be his cheap brother in his heart. Unfortunately, the aloofness has been worn on his face for a long time. Even if the warm blood surges up in his heart again, it is difficult to take off the mask for a while...
Called a taxi.
Go straight to Guosheng Renhegong Palace.
When they arrived at their destination, Chen Chu looked at the palace and temple. It was much larger than he had imagined, and it was quite imposing.
Leading Chen Xiaoxuan, Chen Chu raised his leg and stepped over the threshold. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped over with the other foot. What came into view was a large statue of the god in the main hall, wearing golden armor, holding a Guandao, with a curly beard on his face, and a trace of eyes.
sharp.
There is a sign directly above the statue, which reads "Grandpa Zhoucang" in four characters. Zhoucang is his first name, and Grandpa is his honorific title.
Chen Xiaoxuan looked at the tall statue.
He asked in a daze: "What kind of god is this?"
Chen Chu smoked six sticks of incense on the eucalyptus, lit it on the candle, held three sticks in his own hand, gave three sticks to Chen Xiaoxuan, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhou Cang, was an ancient martial artist and the deputy general of Guan Yu and Gong Gong during the Three Kingdoms period.
, and Guan Ping, Guan's son, was by his side! He was a powerful and loyal man. When Guan Yu died, Zhou Cang also drew his sword and committed suicide..."
Chen Xiaoxuan seemed to understand but not quite.
Chen Chu held the scented incense and pulled Chen Xiaoxuan to kneel in front of the futon and bowed respectfully three times.
He looked at the statue of Zhou Cang: "Master Zhou, General Zhou, I, Chen Chu, am a foreigner from a far away place. I happened to know that there is an evil curse that can harm people, and it is very likely that it will enter the palace and temple to harm people, so I came here to burn incense and call Zhou Cang.
Grandpa knows, please be careful."
The voice fell.
A breeze blew up the triangular yellow flag stuck on the eucalyptus in front of Zhou Cang.
When they were putting the incense on the stove, Chen Xiaoxuan suddenly trembled all over, stood up, picked up the chalice on the eucalyptus, circled the incense twice, and smashed it heavily on the ground.
The Holy Grail bounced up and turned over twice, showing the cup image of Yin and Yang. He remembered Achang's explanation that the Holy Grail was Yin and Yin, Yang and Yang were to be, and Yin and Yang were yes, which respectively meant negation, to be determined, and approval. Chen Xiaoxuan picked up the Holy Grail, and then
Throw it, pick it up, throw it again, two more yin and yangs to determine the result.
A pair of old people came out of the door next to the main hall. They looked to be in their sixties or seventies. The man was slightly dressed as a Taoist priest, and the woman was dressed in ordinary clothes. They were the temple's father and mother-in-law, and the man was Master Aqing.
They heard someone throwing the Holy Grail and came out to take a look. They happened to see Chen Xiaoxuan's appearance. Looking at the Holy Grail on the ground, Master Aqing was a little surprised: "How can such a young child become a saint? No, the true God does not inhabit the human body. He just
Just an ordinary execution."
Throw the Holy Grail three times.
Chen Xiaoxuan returned to normal.
Chen Chu simply stated his intention, and Master Aqing welcomed him into the wing.
The Great Black Buddha Mother in Chenjiacun, the evil Li Ruonan and his daughter, as well as Li Ruonan's mental illness history, were all told to Master Aqing. Master Aqing was a little shocked: "You mean, Li Ruonan, mother and daughter can
Come to us to break the curse?"
Chen Chu nodded and said, "Yes, do you have a way to break the curse?"
Master Aqing was silent for a while: "According to your description, the Great Black Buddha Mother should be an evil spirit from Southeast Asia. Its true body and evil image are sealed in Chenjia Village, and the curse is still spreading. This shows that it is not simple. Our
Undoing the curse with the ability is very risky and requires their cooperation..."
Aqing's wife took over and said: "This ritual is very troublesome and dangerous. To break the curse, the mother and daughter need to let go of themselves. They need to not eat or drink any food or water for seven days and seven nights. If they drink or eat, the ritual will be broken!"
Our place will be immediately known by the Great Black Buddha Mother, and the curse will break out, and the consequences will be terrible..."
Chen Chu asked about his doubts: "But if a person doesn't drink water, he won't be able to survive for three days. If he drinks water without eating, he can barely survive seven days. The seven days and seven nights you mentioned without eating or drinking, I'm afraid this curse
Before it is solved, the person will die first..."
Master Aqing took over and said: "During the ceremony, our bodies are protected by gods. Without eating or drinking, it is indeed uncomfortable, even worse than death, but... let alone seven days, even ten days will not die! Please
, we risk our lives to break the curse, if they can't even endure this kind of pain, I'm sorry, please ask someone wiser."
Chen Chu asked again: "I think there are other gods besides Zhoucang and Grandpa Zhou in the palace and temple. When the mother and daughter come to the door, can't the gods directly break the curse?"
Master Aqing smiled: "This is not the past era. There are too many restrictions. The true god does not possess the human body, and it is also impossible to manifest the spirit at will."
Sister Aqing said: "In modern terms, you understand this palace and temple as a station. The gods are at the headquarters. When we encounter something, burning incense and throwing cups is equivalent to making a phone call to ask whether it is okay. The gods will directly answer in the form of the Holy Grail.
If we need the power of the gods to help us, we need to burn a talisman in advance to apply, and the gods will send down power to us. However, this process takes three days, seven days, or fourteen days! If you want the gods to appear immediately, you must have something that the gods used during their lifetime.
, such as Grandpa Zhoucang's armor, weapons, or even a piece of cloth..."
Chen Chu regained his composure: "You guys..."
Master Aqing was a little embarrassed: "No, that kind of thing has been around for hundreds or even thousands of years. It has long been destroyed or lost, so how can it be passed down."
Chen Chu understood. No wonder in the movie, Master Aqing said that he needed to go without eating or drinking for seven days and seven nights. After a little analysis, not eating or drinking means emptying the self and preventing foreign objects from entering the body. Even if the Great Black Buddha Mother knows that someone is trying to do this,
To break the curse, I can only stare blankly, unable to locate Li Ruo's mother and daughter...
Talk to the end.
Chen Chu's expression became solemn and he looked at the two old men: "Please make sure you take note of what I said."
He spoke carefully and emphasized: "If the woman named Li Ruonan comes to ask for help with her daughter, I hope you two will not help them perform the ceremony. Because they will definitely eat! Eat! Eat!"
Master Aqing took a sip of tea and looked at the statue of Zhou Cang: "We have served Grandpa Zhou Cang all our lives, helped many people, and have never bowed our heads to evil spirits. If the Li Ruonan you mentioned is really here,
I... still have to give it a try, and of course, I will fully supervise them to stop eating..."
That’s it for now.
The atmosphere in the wing became a little depressing.
Chen Chu opened his mouth and sighed softly: "Evil spirits are dangerous and people's hearts are even more evil. You two are over fifty, so you should know better than me."
He picked up his luggage and pulled Chen Xiaoxuan: "Sorry for disturbing you, let's go first."
Master Aqing and the others were so kind, even though they knew it would cost them their lives, they still had the attitude of giving it a try. After Chen Chu said all his good things, he finally understood that people often say that the elderly are the hardest to persuade...
His original idea of arranging Chen Xiaoxuan to take refuge here was cancelled. Li Ruonan's arrival would only make this place a terrifying place.
At the door, Master Aqing chased him out. He looked at Chen Xiaoxuan and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are coming here to take refuge. I feel a faint trace of evil in the child. I am... really no longer here."
It’s suitable. If you want to go, it’s best to go to the temple of the Yin God, they will appear faster..."
He is so old that you can't tell. After saying that he was going to break Li Ruonan's curse, Chen Chu left immediately. How could he not understand the concerns in his heart.
Sitting in the taxi, Chen Chu listened to Master Aqing's suggestion and his next destination was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple.
Chen Xiaoxuan lay on the window and looked back. When he saw Master Aqing still standing at the door, he whispered: "Will my grandparents really be killed by Duoduo's mother? My grandparents gave me oranges to eat. They are very nice people."
Well, I don’t want them to die..."
Chen initially remained silent.
Children all have such a heart, let alone an adult like him.
