The Exorcist

Chapter 32 Master Long (Part 2)

Wanli stood up with excitement.

Master Long waved his hand gently to signal him to be calm and pointed towards the window.

Wan Li jumped over lightly, turned sideways and looked out the window, and saw a small beast, who didn't know whether it was a wild boar or a mountain dog, walking in from outside the courtyard gate, sniffing here and there along the way, and it was almost there. He suddenly stopped in front of the door of the big stone house, and a threatening sound of "Gurgling" came out from his throat, and he was about to scream wildly!

"Don't let it scream!" Master Long also heard the movement outside and ordered hurriedly.

In his desperation, Wanli saw that there were no weapons around him, so he simply grabbed a knife on the wooden stand and threw it at the animal, hitting it hard on the waist. The animal let out a 'ouch' and ran a few steps toward the courtyard door, then turned its head and stared fiercely at Wan Li from the window. The raging hair, the bared fangs, and the green eyes suddenly reminded Wan Li of Guan Zheng's black cat, and his heart moved.

He quickly turned around and grabbed all the knives on the wooden stand. He didn't even have time to get out of the door, so he directly broke the window and went out. Like playing a dart wheel, he greeted the little beast one by one with all the carving knives in his hand. body.

He was strong and calm, and those knives were very sharp. For a moment, the yard was filled with the frightened "whining" sound of the beast. Not only did it fail to pounce and bite Wanli, but it lost all its ferocity after being beaten by him and ran away with its tail between its legs. go out!

Its front legs disappeared, Wanli closed the door with its back legs, and then quickly ran to the door of the big stone house. Regardless of the pain in its feet, it picked up a large iron door bolt next to it and locked the door tightly! On the other side, Master Long also locked the door between the two stone houses, walked out calmly, stood in the middle of the yard, and turned to face the stone house.

He couldn't see, but he was as familiar with the surrounding environment as his own body, and he took every step without hesitation.

Bang bang bang——

There was a rapid knocking on the door of the house, and at the same time there was a strange cry of "creak". It was obvious that the puppets that echoed the resentful spirits in the new town were frightened by the beast that appeared for no reason!

"Go and take out the sand table in the room." Master Long ordered, "Also, there is a small wooden box in the kang box, bring it too."

Wan Li didn't say much after hearing this, and immediately went into the small stone house to get something. When he passed the wooden door between the two rooms, the knocking sound was already thrilling, and the thick wooden door began to shake, as if it might collapse at any time. Same.

Only then did he understand why Master Long didn't build a warm wooden house in this mountain, but built two cold but solid stone houses. Why were all the doors so strong, heavy, and bolted from the outside? It turned out that he had already Beware of such a day. What made him particularly admired was that in this emergency situation, the expression on Master Long's face was still calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Open the wooden box and take out the black porcelain bottle and the wine bottle." Master Long heard Wan Li's footsteps approaching and continued to order, "Spill the potion in the wine bottle on the door, and then pour the powder in the porcelain bottle in front of the door. On the ground, a semicircular dotted line should be formed three meters outside the door. Just put a small dot every half a foot, do you understand?"

Wan Li responded and ran over to do as he was told.

At this time, the knocking on the door became more intense, and the heavy blows seemed to hit people's hearts. When Master Wanli Yilong ordered these things to be done, the two doors were almost falling apart!

"Burn!" Master Long said only one word this time.

"Burn?" Wan Li didn't understand for a moment.

"Don't you have any fire?"

"Yes." Seeing Master Long's calm face, Wan Li nodded and obeyed. He took out a lighter from his backpack, lit a piece of paper, and first burned the door between the two stone houses.

As soon as the paper and coal were thrown out, the door that had been doused with unknown potion immediately burst out with a fierce tongue of fire. Wanli never thought that the burning would be comparable to an explosion, and he almost got burned. But he didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly burned the door of the big stone house, and after finishing it, he retreated to Master Long.

In just a short while, the thick wooden door of the stone house was completely engulfed in flames. With the blazing fire and the loud crackling sound, it collapsed!

As soon as the door burned down, the puppets in the room that had become evil spirits rushed out of the door regardless of the ferocious fire, including those who were already on fire because they were close to the door, like burning sticks. , rushed out staggeringly.

However, their forward steps stopped as soon as they reached the dotted line drawn by the black powder, as if there was an invisible wall blocking them, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break through! And there seemed to be a cold wind blowing inward, causing the flames to burn along each puppet for a while.

Wan Li stared at the sea of ​​​​fire that formed in a moment, not knowing what to say.

In front of my eyes, one hundred and seventy-three puppets were all on fire, and they let out sharp screams, as if they were alive, which made people feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts. Seeing them desperately trying to escape from this merciless sea of ​​fire, but they couldn't avoid it no matter what. They could only run into each other in fear, madness, and aimlessly in the fire, looking for no way out. Wan Li suddenly felt a kind of feeling in his heart. Deep compassion.

How happy it is to be able to be born peacefully and die peacefully when old!

Although these puppets have no souls, since they echo with the resentful spirits in the new town, they should be regarded as their remaining consciousness. So will the resentful spirits suffer again because of this? The cause of their death is still a mystery, but it is conceivable that they must have experienced the torture of fire, and now they have to do it again!

"They will not feel actual pain, nor will they know what is happening here, it will just bring back some memories." Master Long said, "I believe this will not affect your friend's actions in the new town."

Wan Li turned to look at Master Long, doubting that he could read minds. He saw that his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. His eyes were dim and dim under the firelight, and he suddenly felt a little scary.

On the other side, the fire continued to burn, as if it would never stop. And because what was burned was an extraordinary puppet, the fire actually burned for an hour before it slowly extinguished. The surrounding air turned from hot to cold, the stones in the two stone houses were all blackened, and everything inside the house also Only black ash is left on the ground!

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop that little beast from barking and startled the puppet." Looking at the devastated stone house, Wan Li apologized.

"As soon as the beasts entered the door, they were already alarmed." Master Long said with regret, "It was impossible to stop it. Fortunately, you drove away the beasts in time and did not give them more power."

"Now - where are you going to live?" Wan Li looked at the sky.

Dawn comes early in the mountains, and it's summer again, so there's already a bit of blue-gray dawn in the east.

"Go where I should go." Master Long spoke in such a profound tone for the first time. As he spoke, he took out a black folding umbrella from the wooden box and opened it, "Let's go too."

"Where to go?" Because Master Long did not clearly state that he would go with him to pick up Ruan Zhan outside the new town, Wan Li was not sure and asked quickly.

"Go to New Town." Master Long sighed, "It's time to end!"

When Wan Li heard this, he was overjoyed. He went through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles to come to this place just to find this mysterious master and then help Ruan Zhan solve all the mysteries. Now he can finally do this.

After he carried the bloodwood sword, he wanted to help Master Long get something, but he didn't know that Master Long would only let him hold the sandbox, but he had to carry the wooden box himself.

"Don't be nervous. As long as you don't turn it over on this sand table, the things on it will not shift, including the water dish."

Wan Li tried it with hesitation, and was surprised that it was indeed the case. But before he could satisfy his curiosity, Master Long ordered him to push a flatbed truck out from behind the stone house, and then pulled Master Long away.

Before Master Long left, he still had a secret message with the ghost attached to the patrol puppet, and he never put down the umbrella he opened. After Wan Li inquired, he found out that the old man had a rare skin disease and must not be exposed to the slightest bit of sunlight.

Maybe it's because he has been staying in this dark little stone house for ten years to defend his position!

With Wan Li thinking this way, he and Master Long went on the road to the north gate of the new town. Because according to Master Long's calculations in advance, if Ruan Zhan takes action today, which direction will be most beneficial to them.

After the long fire, Wan Li recovered some of his strength, and Master Long was very thin, so even though it was a mountainous road, Wan Li could still handle it. Taking this opportunity, he asked Master Long about things in the new town. Except for the fact that Master Long did not answer how these 173 people died that year, he did not hide anything else and told everything.

It turns out that all the feng shui energy of the new town is concentrated at the location of the tower. The construction of the new town is based on the tower first and then the town. Everything is built around this tower. The reason why the site was chosen here is, on the one hand, because there is a ground with a lot of yang energy, and on the other hand, it is also because this was the kiln.

Wan Li's guess was correct. The first kiln produced that year was indeed made of these 173 corpses mixed with clay. However, they were not sent to the kiln alive, but their bodies were destroyed after death. Most of the products from this first kiln were bricks, but in order to hide it from others, only a small part was porcelain. This part of the porcelain was destroyed and refired on the grounds of poor quality, but in the end it was made into bricks.

These bricks were transported to new towns to build houses, and were mixed in each house. It stands to reason that these houses are unlucky, but if these grievances are successfully resolved, and when a large number of townspeople move in, the yang energy is strong and the breath flows, there will no longer be any problems.

As for the six pieces of porcelain that leaked out, it was because of Feng Yongzi's strong obsession that he couldn't let go of his mother, so his soul did not leave after being made into porcelain, and he kept begging Boss Sun's father. Boss Sun's father originally disagreed with Mayor Yuan's actions. He was terribly frightened afterwards, and felt pity for Feng Yongzi, and wanted to leave a way out for himself, so he secretly took out a few pieces of porcelain. He didn't know which pieces contained Feng Yongzi's remnant soul, so he took out six pieces.

Not long after Master Long was invited to take over the matter, he knew the whereabouts of Feng Yongzi, but he felt ashamed of the Feng family, so he pretended not to know. He thought that the matter of Feng Yongzi and the other two unknown remnant souls would not affect Overall, I didn't expect that one day Feng Yongzi would become an 'accomplice'.

"This is really a big project. No wonder they stayed in the kiln secretly for two weeks!" Wan Li gritted his teeth. He never thought that people could be so cruel, and the murderer turned out to be the mayor of the town who was extremely supported by the townspeople. There are many relevant officials. He just didn't understand how a normal person could do this in that state. Aren't they afraid of so many corpses? Don't you feel guilty? Is it really like what the old people said, that at that time, there was evil power in people?

Master Long said nothing. Seeing that he was unwilling to continue talking about this topic, Wanli simply asked something else.

"How do you know that A-Zhan, I mean, my friend is gifted with talents?"

"It's very simple. If you look for me everywhere, I have known it for a long time. I will naturally understand your situation. Besides, the sand table shows that after the Feng Shui formation was cracked, the top of the new town was shrouded in a barrier. Later, the barrier was broken. Now, a new barrier has been set up, and soon the Feng Shui array of this tower is showing signs of repair. You also said that a friend of yours accidentally broke in, so I guess he was the one who entered the town later, and he has a good nature. Yes, because that feeling—" Master Long carefully considered his words, "that feeling is very extraordinary and cannot be acquired through cultivation."

"Do you think he's going to win?"

"What do you think?" Master Long asked.

"He will definitely win, because he always wins. Although he is beaten to pieces every time, he must be the winner in the end!" Wan Li smiled, "Look what I am worried about, how powerful I am. Just do whatever you can to help him."

"The opponent is very strong."

"Yes. I suspect that the little beast just now was sent by him. Therefore, it is risky for us to help A Zhan like this. As long as we don't implicate you, it will be fine."

"Are you going to hurt me?" Master Long said softly, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Wan Li was pulling the cart with his back to him, so he couldn't see his face. He could only feel that his tone was both lonely and proud. Suddenly, he felt sad for him. Such a Feng Shui master actually lost his temper because of a little fetters of family ties. And it made me end up in this situation!

He was able to find Master Long only because of Feng Yongzi's words. At that time, he asked Feng Yongzi to inquire about the unjust case, but failed, and almost got into a quarrel. Feng Yongzi said in excitement: Good reward? In this world, good people don't live long, and disasters last a thousand years! My mother was kind-hearted. During the Cultural Revolution, she risked being criticized and fought to help a member of the "Four Old Elements" who should be eliminated. Who cared about him at the time? He was so capable but he was about to starve to death. So what happened, that bastard? For his own nephew, actually——!

Later, he thought that the Four Old Elements should refer to monks, Taoist priests, etc., and Feng Shui masters such as Master Long should be counted among them; in addition, Feng Yongzi mentioned in his words that his mother had saved this person, and this person was for his nephew. Betrayal of that kindness. If the culprit is Mayor Yuan, then he can guess that Master Long is Mayor Yuan's uncle.

At that time, Sima Nan used sorcery to cause nightmares to everyone in the city, and no one dared to talk to him about what happened back then. But he forgot one thing, with Feng Yongzi guarding his mother, Feng mother would not fall into that dream. Although Feng Niang was stimulated by the pain of losing her child and her thoughts were confused, she was not crazy. It was just a psychological escape and a self-protective behavior. Of course, this was not difficult for a highly skilled psychiatrist like him.

So, when he went to talk to Feng Niang in broad daylight, Feng Yongzi couldn't stop him at all. Feng Niang was very happy that someone talked to her about the past, and Wan Li successfully learned that the person she saved back then was really Mayor Yuan's uncle! That is Master Long whom he is now pulling on a flatbed truck. His original name is Yuan Long, a mysterious Feng Shui master who is famous all over the country!

It was like a thread in a tangled mess. Pulling out this one straightened out all the clues. After that, he only had to follow the clues according to normal methods!

He didn't care that Master Long didn't tell him the cause of what happened back then, nor did he force him. He thought that Master Long must have something unspeakable, and now that the culprit has been found, will the root of all evil still be unclear?

Thinking of this, Wan Li stopped talking and focused on pulling Master Long smoothly to the north gate of the new town.

When we arrived at the north gate, it was already fully dark.

Master Long got out of the car and walked around in circles a few times, then pointed out, "Are there any taller trees in that place?"

Wan Li looked in the direction Master Long was pointing, and saw that there were not only tall trees there, but more than one, and each one was very lush and green from a distance.

In fact, the location and construction of this Hongqing Town are very good. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Except for the asphalt road in the middle leading to the main road, both sides are surrounded by green mountains and forests. The scenery is good and the environment is good. No matter what's going on inside the new town, it's pretty decent outside.

"There are many tall trees." Wan Li answered Master Long.

"Okay, just follow this direction and help me walk straight there." Master Long stretched out his hand.

Wan Li hurriedly supported him. Between his tentacles, he felt that his body was very cold. Fortunately, it was still soft, otherwise he would have thought that he was supporting a corpse.

I could only hear Master Long mumbling words as he walked. I didn’t know what he was talking about. He walked straight for more than a hundred meters before stopping. The place where we stopped was a relatively flat place, surrounded by several large trees and overgrown with weeds. It feels like being buried in plants. If someone looks from the outside, they can't see it at all. And in this morning when there is not enough sunshine, the chill and humidity in the trees are also coming!

Master Long asked Wan Li to pull up the weeds in a two-meter radius, and then handed him something like a copper bell in the sky, "Hang this Passepartout on this tree, about two meters high. Remember. The side with the words should face the north gate."

Wan Li did as he was told, and Master Long ignored him after that. He walked around the small open space alone, circling with a strange gait, as if he was measuring something, sometimes clockwise, sometimes counterclockwise, Whenever he paused, he would take out some things written with charms from the small wooden box, including small flags, small bells, two-inch-long small wooden swords, and many small wooden signs inserted into the ground.

Before long, the clearing was surrounded by these strange things.

Master Long raised his feet and accurately crossed the obstacles on the periphery of the open space. He sat on the ground guarding the sand table that had been arranged in a certain direction. He counted with his fingers and said: "The formation has been set up. The energy here and in the town are The tower is the best counterpoint, and now your friends can take action at any time."

Before he finished speaking, a blue electric spark flashed in the air in the new town!
