I remember that before Xiaozhi reminded me, he was sitting on the ground writing and drawing, not knowing what he was doing. At this time, his eyes involuntarily drifted there.

The rain was heavy, and in just a short while, the mountain road became muddy and slippery. Most of the things Xiaozhi scratched on the ground with branches were washed away, and only the outline of a nine-square grid could be vaguely seen.

"Nine Gong Xingming?!"

I asked tentatively, and Xiaozhi nodded quickly.

This is one of the fortune-telling techniques recorded in the "Huang Ting Sutra" given to Xiaozhi by the Fourteenth Patriarch. It is very obscure. It is said that I came to it when I read "He Tu" and believed that the human body itself is a small world.

It is the sky, the feet are the earth, the five internal organs correspond to the five elements, and the limbs correspond to the four seasons. They can echo each other with the seven rays in the sky. In this way, we can achieve the state of unity between nature and man that Taoism calls.

After all, this is a profound fortune-telling technique that pursues immortality, but I don’t know how it is used to tell fortunes for ghosts!

I thought it was very mysterious when I saw it, and I thought to myself that if the unity of nature and man is like this, what is the difference between it and dismembering a person?

"Actually... I think the idea of ​​the unity of heaven and man is a bit nonsense."

Xiaozhi said seriously: "But the principles mentioned in the Nine Palaces Star Fate are used to predict good and bad luck, and it is really good for people to read fortunes!

How should I put it? The Nine Palaces Star Life actually explains the subtle relationship between heaven, earth and people. It can be regarded as a kind of... philosophy? Yes, it is philosophy. This is what you said, brother Jingzhe. Those mysterious and obscure insights of our ancestors are now

The man is called philosophy!

For example, if a person who has lived indoors for a long time and lacks Yang Qi suddenly goes out into the sun, he will shiver all over. This is the influence of heaven and earth on people.

There is a kind of Xing Qi Jin in the Nine Palaces star life, which can open your eyes and see the seemingly non-existent connection between people and heaven and earth.

I really want to know the origins of the four of them, but unfortunately... I can't use that ability, and I can't see any pictures, so I use this Xingqi Jin when I'm in a hurry.

Then, the bird star in the sky will shine, and the misty yellow air will fall on these four evil ghosts, and their power will increase dramatically in an instant."

I have read "Huang Ting Jing", and I have some impressions about it. I also tried the Xing Qi Jin method, but it didn't work. I didn't expect it to be childish, but it worked.

Maybe this is talent.

At any rate, I have some theoretical basis. After thinking about it for a while, I know why Xiaozhi asserted that the four body-protecting hungry ghosts are afraid of fire!

The Tianqin star belongs to the Big Dipper and governs earth. According to what Xiaozhi saw, the appearance of the Tianqin star can make the four protective hungry ghosts become ferocious. This means that the four protective hungry ghosts are extremely pure metals.

, Earth-born metal, only in this way will the Tianqin star be their helper.

Hungry ghosts who protect themselves often hide in cooling stoves. Taoist people have long concluded that anyone who can turn into such a ghost is basically a person who lacks fire. After death, the five elements are incomplete, so only

It can be hidden in the cooling stove, where there is still fire, but it is not strong. It is just used to nourish the five elements, because replenishing the five elements is like cooking fresh vegetables. If it is too strong, it will damage the fundamentals.

The four body-protecting hungry ghosts lack fire, so they are naturally afraid of fierce fire and fire. If fire enters the body, it will nourish them too much, and the water will overflow. There is only one result - chaos in the five elements, and fire overcomes metal, and fierce fire will attack their life roots.

In this way, with a two-pronged approach, how can the four protective hungry ghosts not be finished?

Xiaozhi looked serious, as if he was having a discussion with us. At first, Brother Yaozi and the others found it interesting and were still laughing, but as they listened, they stopped laughing.

"Awesome, so awesome. The Fourteenth Ancestor has taught you your true skills!"

Brother Yaozi solemnly said: "Seeing through a person's fundamentals at one glance, and then directly confronting them is to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron! The four body-protecting hungry ghosts were not unjustly killed. Rather than saying that they were killed by the thunder talisman, it is better to say that they were killed by a lucky charm.

Flaws, we ignited these flaws and let them defeat themselves!"

At this time, my numb body gradually recovered. The mountain rain came quickly and fiercely. At this moment, the heavy rain was pouring, but nothing could be heard around me. This made me very uneasy. I stood up with force and looked around.

He looked around and said softly: "This place has become a ghost nest. The noise of our fighting before was not too small. We were afraid of attracting the attention of other things. Taking advantage of this, Yin Nu quickly put on the makeup of Lao Bai and the three of them.

, then let’s go up the mountain immediately!”

We have killed the protective hungry ghost, which is a good thing at the moment. At least we have more time. We just need to find out the fairy cave before dawn.

I'm actually a little bit worried about the ghost makeup of Yinnu this time. I always feel that it's not pure enough and I'm worried about showing off my flaws.

But the Yin slave sneered and said, unless Lord Water comes, there is no way he can be seen through!!

As for the method it used when it tormented me last time, it cannot be used again and again. That kind of ghost makeup is the most poisonous and turns people into living dead. That is really half a foot in it.

At the gate of hell, using it once is too painful. If you use it continuously, I'm afraid I will really become a living dead, so this time it will attack more lightly. After all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, and it can't kill me.

Playing just makes me feel at ease.

At this point, I don't feel at ease anymore.

Yin Nu moved very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, Lao Bai, Brother Yao Zi, and Wu Shuang changed their appearance.

The four evil ghosts with dark skin like Kunlun slaves looked at each other with a sense of absurdity.

"Someone is coming!!"

The Yin slave shouted low, turned into a black air, and disappeared into the wind chime.

Brother Yaozi and I looked at each other, probably because we saw each other's appearance and thought of ourselves now, so we felt a little calmer.

Needless to say, Wan Niang'er picked up the luggage we threw on the ground, dragged Xiao Zhi away in a hurry, found a place with thick grass, ducked down, and hid immediately.

Once the two of them were hidden, the four of us relaxed and sat on the ground in a daze.

The wind and rain are still there, and the trees and weeds are swaying back and forth, making rustling sounds. This environment is the best cover for things dormant in the dark.

"Damn Yin slave, don't even give me a few words of warning!"

I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

Lao Bai didn't seem to be used to his current appearance. He felt itchy all over, sometimes scratching his neck, sometimes scratching his armpits. When he reached behind him and scratched his back, he didn't know what he touched, and he yelled, "

He jumped up from the ground with a bang.

A green face poked out from the grass behind him, like a cantaloupe butt, but full of pustules. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "Jie Jie" laughed strangely and said no

He looked wretched, but his slightly squinted eyes were covered with a faint blood color, indicating that the person in front of him was not a good person, but a murderous ghost!!

When he met a fierce ghost, Lao Bai's first reaction was to go up and give him a hand. Wushuang quickly pulled him from behind. Only then did he react and curse angrily: "It's coming as soon as it comes, with a sly look and a rat's eye."

What are you smelling behind my butt? Are you a Teddy? When you see your butt, go up and smell it?"

The grass surged, and something about the height of a five- or six-year-old child emerged from it. It had an animal skin tied around its waist, but its belly was huge and green. It reminded me of a toad, with its hands behind its back and its big belly.

When I came to Lao Bai, I walked directly in front of Lao Bai, nudged Lao Bai with my belly, opened my mouth, and let out a "burp"...

A foul smell immediately spread...

"You are eating..."

Lao Bai opened his mouth to curse, but in the middle of the sentence he suddenly realized what he was doing. Fortunately, he was a little quick-witted and said immediately: "Are you eating shit again?"

That’s right, this is a coprophag in front of you!!

A burp can emit such a stench, except for the disgusting and perverted evil spirits who squat in the toilet and swallow feces, there is probably no other semicolon!

Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai mentioned the name of this kind of thing more than once, but this is the first time I have seen it!

"Jiejiejie...hiccup..."

The coprophagic ghost smiled and burped again. Seeing Lao Bai retreating repeatedly, he nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What are you doing? Does the movement in the mountains just now have something to do with you?"

"What did you say!"

Lao Bai seemed to be caught in the drama. He pointed at me and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that a cultivator has entered the mountain? Our brothers were suddenly surprised by this guy, and we almost didn't explain it!"

The bloodshot eyes moved back and forth, and the coprophagic ghost walked back and forth on us, and suddenly asked: "Where is the talisman given by Lord Water?"

"We're under attack!"

I stood up, pointed to the scars all over my body struck by lightning, gritted my teeth and said, "If we hadn't run so fast, we would have told you that the rainy day thunder talisman of the other party was also damaged in the thunder talisman."

Got it!"

The thunder talisman is the sky fire, which is the nemesis of the Youdu talisman. It has little effect on the living, but is particularly domineering on the dead. It is obvious to be injured by the thunder talisman...

The coprophagic ghost thought for a while, and then his suspicion disappeared. He put his hands behind his hands and asked, "Who did this to you?"

"Six people, four men, one woman, and one child!"

I said: "Tao Xing is not weak at all!"

"Hey, can you be weak now?"

The coprophagic ghost laughed and burped again. We immediately retreated a few meters and then said: "You have met the real master. Unexpectedly, they touched him quietly. This is good news."

, you guys go up quickly, I’ll wait for you, I’ll go explore again!”

After that, this thing swayed away. When it passed by me, its head suddenly came over and sniffed my butt. I almost burst into laughter. It laughed twice, then shook its head and left.

I waited until this thing was far away, then gritted my teeth and said, "If I get a chance later, I will definitely kill this guy!"

"This thing is not weak at all. It may not be worse than the four body-protecting hungry ghosts. I don't know how many people have gathered above. It is really a killing situation..."

Brother Yaozi shook his head and smiled: "Anyway, we got through this first level in a blur. Let's go and see what the so-called Fairy Cave looks like. If I remember correctly, I have been to that area before.
Chapter completed!
