306, Altar God (1/2)
Cui Daren reached out and took Duan Gong's hand.
The opponent's palm was like an ice cube. The moment he held it, he shivered a few times and wanted to take his hand back.
However,
At this time, Duan Gong had already tightly grasped the palm he extended,
He retreated immediately, but it didn't work.
He could only let Mr. Duan hold his hand with a grimace.
The miter on Duan Gong's head was reflected in a layer of psychedelic colors by the sunlight. The 'horse's feet' behind him lit a handful of arm-thick incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner. The incense rose up, covering the gold and silver mask on Duan Gong's face. ,
Making that blood-stained mask look even more mysterious.
He turned to look at the four horses' legs behind him and said in a hoarse voice: "If I don't bring him back within an hour, you will have to stiffen up and bring me back."
The four horsemen didn't speak, and nodded calmly.
Duan Gong turned around,
Then he looked at Cui Daren beside him.
Cui Daren's eyes shrank and he didn't dare to look at him.
The folk inheritance of Duangong Horse Foot is not as good as the Dharma lineage of the big schools, which can be passed down to the next generation of disciples in a systematic and orderly manner.
Suddenly they encountered a disaster,
This may lead to the inheritance being lost or even cut off.
now,
This Duan Gong only received the three major rituals in the Duan Gong Dharma: the 'Refining the Dead', the 'Hundred Days Exorcism', and the 'Oil and Fire Cleansing the House'. As for the 'Shi Gua Good and Unlucky' in the Duan Gong Dharma inheritance, 'This inheritance of the prerequisite for all scientific rituals has been cut off at the hands of his master.
There is no "Shi Gua Good and Bad" to predict the good or bad future.
Every time you perform legal rituals, it can be said to be a gamble of life and death!
Duan Gong also needs to eat.
You also need gold and silver to make your way in the world.
Therefore, even though the inheritance of the 'Shi Gua Good and Bad' is missing, this Duan Gong still never stopped collecting money for others.
Every time he does something,
Naturally, we have to ask various questions.
There are many investigations,
He would even take the initiative to use part of his money for doing things and share it with his friends, asking them to protect him.
Because of these many preparations, Wang Duangong has been relatively smooth every time in recent years, even if there is no 'Master's Gua good and bad fortune' to predict the future.
This time,
Cui Daren didn't know where he found out about Wang Duangong's whereabouts.
He spent a lot of money to ask him to perform a 'Dead Man's Refining' for his deceased mother.
The ‘Dead Man’s Refining Department’ is no small matter.
Unless it is a serious invasion and killing situation, this subject will not be used.
Wang Duangong naturally knew this very well.
After he asked Cui Daren's mother about some signs before her death, he already guessed that Cui Daren's mother died of illness and was not caused by "Li Gui's invasion and killing" without Cui Daren saying anything.
Now that you know this section,
It is naturally impossible to prepare the ‘Dead Man’s Refining’ for his mother.
But Wang Duangong was reluctant to part with the money - he had already contacted a run-down Duan Gong in a prefecture and county a hundred miles away, and asked him to take back the 'Shi Gua Good and Bad', 'Zhao' from that Duan Gong at the price of one hundred taels of silver. The three major rituals and corresponding instruments: "Life Substitutes Death" and "Mao Ren Substitutes".
All I need is the fifteen taels of silver given by Cui Daren.
He can collect a hundred taels of silver,
Please go back to those three major rituals!
Wang Duangong didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Yes,
In order to save his own face and make himself stand out among the gentry, Cui Daren lied that his mother was killed by Li Gui and invited Duan Gong to perform the "Refinement of the Dead".
Duan Gong also pushed the boat along with the current.
Since he knew the inside story, he couldn't really prepare a funeral for Cui Daren's mother.
Rather, he is preparing to imitate the dead man’s refining process,
Make a play!
In this way, everyone can be happy!
In the "Refining of the Dead", the most important thing is to "go into the sea of fire" to "find the soul." As long as Wang Duangong has the altar god with him, it is normal to walk through the sea of fire!
By wading through the sea of fire, Cui Daren can be deceived and his mother's soul has been fished out.
You can rest under its mother spring.
but,
Just in case, Wang Duangong still invited his acquaintances.
Once you are too influenced by the altar god during the process of walking through the sea of fire, let the horse's legs pull you back!
This ensures nothing goes wrong!
"Let's go!"
After some inner calculation, Wang Duangong said to Cui Daren,
follow closely,
He took off his cloth shoes,
Stepping barefoot into the blazing iron pot in front of the coffin!
"ah!"
"If you step in, you will be plunged into a sea of fire!"
"My clothes haven't even been burned. This gentleman is really capable!"
Inside and outside the hall, the people gathered to watch suddenly exclaimed!
In the raging fire,
Wang Duangong, dressed in red robe and wearing a miter, was unscathed!
The gold and silver mask on his face looked more and more monstrous, and his dark, white-less eyes looked sideways at Cui Daren, who was still hesitating in front of the brazier - a chill suddenly surged out from the palm of his hand holding Cui Daren. ,
Instantly covering Cui Daren's whole body,
In an instant,
Cui Daren felt as if someone had held his shoulders from behind and fixed his legs!
The 'person' behind him pushed him forward,
Following Wang Duangong,
Stepping into the brazier!
boom!
The fire is raging!
Cui Daren's limbs were out of control;
Only one face was still under his control, and he was so scared that he couldn't help but close his eyes!
but,
The feeling of burning fire he imagined did not appear.
The whole body was especially wrapped in that cold feeling.
Wang Duangong pulled him and walked from one iron pot to the next.
Cui Daren, who realized that he was not dead, finally dared to open his eyes and saw the blazing fire in the pot. As he stepped down with his feet, it was as if he was being hit by a gust of cold wind. They couldn't lift their heads, and it was difficult to cling to him. No trace of body shape!
The law of justice!
It's amazing!
Cui Daren raised his eyes and looked at Wang Duangong in front, his eyes full of awe!
among the crowd,
Discussions are still going on.
Su Wu watched Duan Gong dragging Cui Daren into the brazier.
The moment the two stepped onto the brazier,
The smell of incense mixed with the smell of pig suddenly became much lighter - the illusory black and red fire rising from Duangong's body spread half to Cui Daren's body,
When the two stepped onto the brazier,
Black and red fire enveloped them all.
The flame suppressed the ordinary flames of the wood burning in the brazier,
Protect the two of them from the burning fire in the brazier!
"Where does the smell of incense and pig sex that lingers on people like Duan Gong and Ma Jie come from?"
"The black and red flames caused by the Duan Gong Law,
It has something in common with the fire in the stove of the Kitchen God Sect.
My flame net seems to be able to collect this flame. "
Thoughts flashed through Su Wu's mind.
He looked at Li Zhuer beside him,
Zhu'er looked at the two people walking in the 'sea of fire', and there was also light flowing in her eyes.
"Should you be able to absorb the flames from those two people?" Su Wu suddenly asked Zhuer abruptly - at that time, Zhuer broke through the treacherous barrier, and the black flames sprouted from the ends of her hair, which Su Wu still remembers to this day. new.
"It seems okay..."
Li Zhuer replied to Su Wu,
He immediately reacted and looked at Su Wu with some anxiety: "Senior brother... I wanted to tell you earlier, but I never found the opportunity."
"Because of those four mantras taught by Master?
So that you have some changes in yourself? "Su Wu asked Li Zhuer calmly.
"……Um."
"Master said that those four mantras have unpredictable power.
It is normal for you to experience changes as a result. "Su Wu said, "Don't worry about anything.
Let's talk about your affairs after the matter here is over. "
"yes."
With just a few words from the senior brother, Li Zhuer's originally anxious mood calmed down.
She responded with a smile,
The crowd around me is noisy and noisy,
Pearl then moved closer to Su Wu.
Iron pots filled with charcoal were laid out from in front of the coffin in the courtyard to the mourning hall a hundred steps away.
Raging fire bursts from the iron pot,
It is connected to form a fire road from the courtyard to the mourning hall.
Cui Daren followed Wang Duangong step by step.
Walked ten steps out of the door.
Those distinguished guests who gathered inside and outside the hall to watch, felt that it was not enough, so they all rushed outside the courtyard.
Wherever Wang Duangong and his two brothers go,
They pursued him wherever he went.
People's praises and exclamations filled Cui Daren's ears.
At this moment he felt,
It is worth spending a lot of money, even at the expense of your own safety, to get such a scene!
——I, Cui Daren, finally showed myself as a saint in front of others!
Cui Daren is in a state of ecstasy,
Wang Duangong and him have completely different feelings.
Even if he is possessed by the ‘Gold and Silver Fang Immortal Master’, he can avoid the burning fire in the pot.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this fire road is just a long road connected by fire.
But in Wang Duangong’s perception,
This place is a sea of fire!
He was on a chain bridge suspended on a sea of fire,
There were countless cold eyes staring at him under the bridge!
Those unspeakable weirdness, even if they just cast their gaze on him in the sea of fire, they still made him feel that there was a huge weight on his shoulders, and every step he took was extremely difficult!
and,
The looks of those terrifying beings in the sea of fire put great mental pressure on Wang Duangong.
He can never fully concentrate,
Occasionally it will drift away.
Every time my mind drifts away,
The ‘Gold and Silver Fang Immortal Master’ has more control over himself!
in the Legends,
If Duangong is completely controlled by the altar god during the process of "going into the sea of fire", "crossing the mountain of knives", and "entering the oil pot", then he must "pass through the yin" once. If he successfully passes through the yin, he will return to reality.
Failed to cross Yin,
Don't tell me if you are dead,
The altar god will also ‘come back to life’!
Wang Duangong invited four horsemen.
Just in case you are unable to 'cross the yin', they can help pull you back!
"call……"
Duan Gong gathered his wandering thoughts again,
He found that his right hand began to move randomly without any control.
——This is the altar god controlling his right hand.
Look at the road ahead,
Between the dark sea of fire and the bright reality, a mourning hall with a prayer flag picture of 'Eighteen Hells' hanging on the left and a 'Twenty-Four Filial Piety Picture' on the right was already twenty steps away.
It's almost there,
This life is almost over...
Wang Duangong encouraged himself,
Holding Cui Daren with his left hand, he speeded up to the end of the chain bridge.
The dark flames burned wantonly,
Maybe it’s because the road is about to end,
The gazes directed at him from the black fire became weaker.
This is a good thing.
Duan Gong couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Take a few steps,
As they approached the mourning hall,
the Cui family members on both sides of the brazier knelt on the ground and cried.
