The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 757 Dingshan Huai

Ouyang replied: "Because those are not human at all, they are all cats and raccoons, and they were possessed by Yin soldiers at that time. The sound you heard should be the sound of ghost-faced gongs. Yin soldiers cross the border, and living people avoid it. You Not only did you not dodge it, but you even blocked it in front of the temple gate, you deserve this disaster."

The old man Zhang let out a long sigh: "So that's the case. I was also with Li Daochang at the time, so I didn't think too much. Then I didn't know what happened, until I woke up and found Li Daochang standing beside me I only found out when I asked. Later, he discovered the abnormality, so he got in through the hole in the door, and covered the ghost's face with his Taoist robe. Otherwise, my soul would follow those Yin soldiers Go, and never come back. So speaking of it, Li Daochang is still my savior."

"It turned out that Uncle San took the initiative to put the Taoist robe on it. Now it seems that we were right in not taking the Taoist robe away. Then what happened later..." I asked.

The old man Zhang said: "Later, Daoist Li said that he didn't have the protection of the Taoist robe, and he didn't dare to stay there anymore. We left the Lilao Temple."

Knowing the origin of Third Uncle's Taoist robe, I also solved a doubt in my heart.

So I asked Ouyang or again: "Are you trying to use that ghost mask?"

Ouyang nodded: "Exactly. This disciple wants to use the ghost face gong to borrow Yin soldiers, so that Yin soldiers can follow us into the Valley of Immortality. When necessary, they may help us to repel the enemy."

"Using Yin soldiers? Is this also possible?" We were all surprised when Ouyang said this.

"That's right. As long as there is a ghost face, it can be done." Ouyang nodded firmly.

I thought of what old man Zhang said just now, those Yin soldiers used the body of the cat and lizi to enter the temple of Grandma Li.So I took out the raccoon tail on my body and said, "Then I can recruit a few raccoon cats to let the Yin soldiers possess me."

Ouyang or waved his hand: "No."

"why?"

"Because cats and raccoons are living creatures. The Yin soldiers cannot possess them for too long. If they move around the valley of the undead, it may be fine. However, if they enter the valley of the undead, the cats and raccoons themselves may not be able to bear the weight of the Yin soldiers."

What Ouyang Or meant was that because the cat is alive, the Yin soldiers cannot stay on the cat for too long. It is impossible to let the Yin soldiers possess the body.

Seeing Ouyang's confident appearance, I guess he already has a plan in mind.

Since you don't use cats and lilies to borrow Yin soldiers, what is the use?

We all looked at Ouyang or, but Ouyang or looked at old man Zhang. I remember his name was Zhang Shitai.

"Master Zhang, I would like to ask, is there a kind of tree called Dingshan Huai in Xiaozhou Mountain?" Ouyang asked.

The old man Zhang nodded when he heard it: "Yes, I don't know about other things. If you talk about the vegetation on this mountain, I know everything about it. But Mr. can know Dingshanhuai, which makes my old man very impressed."

Ouyang smiled, and asked again: "Then can Master Zhang find this Dingshan pagoda tree?"

The old man Zhang also laughed, and said disdainfully: "Of course, Zhang can touch Dingshanhuai by smelling it with his eyes closed. But it's not that Zhang is talking big. Except for me, no one is sure of it. "

"Then can I ask Mr. Zhang to cut one for me? It will be of great use to me."

The old man Zhang nodded, looked at the few of us, and said, "That's no problem. I think we should be able to find Dingshanhuai within two miles from here. Who of you will go with me and drag it back for me?"

Pang Dahai patted his chest: "I'll go with you."

The old man Zhang said with satisfaction: "Okay, this physique is fine."

The old man Zhang turned around and took Pang Haihai into the nearby woods. After a few steps, he disappeared into the woods.

A few of us continued to wait in place.

Ma Di asked Ouyang or curiously: "What kind of species is this Dingshan pagoda tree? Why have I never heard of it?"

I also have the same question, especially doubting the old man Zhang's words, no one can find it except him, why is it so hard to find a tree in the mountains?

Ouyang replied: "The origin of the name of Dingshan locust tree has its allusion. According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, the famous general Xue Dingshan led his army to an expedition, and there was a fierce battle on the frontier battlefield. The battle was extremely tragic at that time. Stained battlefield. After cleaning the battlefield, a special kind of locust tree grew in that blood-stained land. Not only the trunk of the locust tree was special, but blood spots appeared on closer inspection. In addition, the locust tree The pagoda tree that grows is not pure color, but also has red spots. People say that the blood spots are dyed by the blood of soldiers. Therefore, these pagoda trees are called Dingshan pagoda to commemorate Xue Dingshan guarding the territory."

Ma Di nodded: "I see. It seems that the world is full of wonders. I have never seen or heard of this kind of Dingshan locust tree."

Ouyang continued to explain: "Later, people discovered that in the place where Dingshanhuahua grows, the weather is often favorable and people live a good life. Therefore, the place where Dingshanhuahua appears can indicate that the local geomantic omen is excellent. Then it was passed on from time to time. , passed Dingshan Huai, as Dingshan Huai, and said that with Dingshan Huai, one side can be stabilized."

"Oh, are there Dingshan pagoda trees here too?" I asked.

Ouyang nodded and said: "Yes. There are more stories about the origin of Dingshan locust tree from the Xue Dingshan battlefield than legends. Whether it is true or not is untestable. As far as I know, Dingshan locust tree likes to be an only child. If there is a Dingshan locust tree, its Within a radius of ten miles, I am afraid that there is no second one. Therefore, it is not easy to find a tree in a large mountain, and one must be familiar with mountains and forests and trees."

It turned out to be like this, no wonder old man Zhang dared to say that big talk.If it weren't for him, we would have found a tree in the mountains, which would be no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.

I'm very relieved. We've been traveling all the way, and there are many noble people. Does it mean that the third uncle will be safe in the end?

We waited for Zhang Laotou and Pang Haihai at the same place, and after about an hour, we heard movement in the bushes.Pang Dahai dragged a tree and walked back panting.

The old man Zhang followed behind him with a smile.

Most of the branches and leaves of the tree have been cut off, leaving only a straight trunk and a few relatively formed branches on the trunk.

Pang Dahai threw the tree on the ground, panting like a cow, and said, "My god, I'm exhausted."

"Thank you, Fatty." I patted him on the shoulder, and then looked carefully at the tree on the ground.

This tree hasn't fully grown yet, and its trunk is only as thick as an arm. Otherwise, ten fat seas may not be able to drag it back.

Ouyang came over to have a look and nodded: "That's right, it's Dingshanhuai."

Chapter 758

I looked at that tree, although it had the word pagoda on it, it didn't seem to be quite the same as ordinary pagoda trees.First of all, the trunk is too straight, but it is somewhat similar to a pine tree.Moreover, one can indeed see red spots one after another on the trunk, as if printed on it.There are still many Sophora japonica flowers left on the branches and leaves, and red spots can be faintly seen on the plain white Sophora japonica flowers.It's very close to what Ouyang or described.

Ouyang explained: "This kind of Dingshan locust tree is so straight when it is not fully grown. When it is an adult, after the aura is given to a mountain forest, the trunk will bend."

I am amazed that there are so many things to say about one tree.

Ouyang squatted down, measured the trunk of the pagoda tree Dingshan with his hand a few times, and motioned to old man Zhang: "Master Zhang, this paragraph... and this paragraph, help me cut it off."

As he said, Ouyang left a shallow mark on the tree trunk with his nails.

The old man Zhang nodded, walked up, and swung the ax he carried with him.I saw his arm swaying lightly, and the ax seemed to have eyes, and it just fell on the imprint left by Ouyang or on the tree trunk.

No more, no less, a total of four axes.

The straight tree trunk was cut into several sections by Zhang Laotou.This skill is also an eye-opener for us.We all know that Mr. Zhang is a sawmaker and has been working with trees all his life.But I didn't expect his tree-cutting skills to be so superb.

Ouyang probably picked up the two trunks of Dingshan pagoda tree that he had left on the ground.

I looked at the two sections, each less than [-] centimeters in length.On the cross-section, red spots can still be seen faintly, it can be seen that the imprint described as blood spots has penetrated deep into the trunk.

We also don't know what Ouyang will do with these two tree trunks.

Ouyang probably weighed the two tree trunks in his hands, and then sent them to Old Zhang with both hands.

The old man Zhang questioned: "What are you doing?"

Ouyang smiled and said: "People say that a sawmaker's knife and axe can cut water and open mountains, and small ones can embroider wood and carve flowers. Please ask Master Zhang to carve two dolls for me. They must be male, and virgin boys are enough. "

The old man Zhang seemed very conceited, and he was a little flattered by Ouyang or such a compliment. He smiled and praised: "You are knowledgeable."

As he said that, the old man Zhang held an ax in one hand and a piece of wood in the other, and started to cut and carve the [-] cm piece of wood with the axe.

I saw such a big ax, in the hands of old man Zhang, even more dexterous than a carving knife.For a while, sawdust flew around, and we were stunned.

No wonder Ouyang or a sawmaker's ax can split water and open mountains, and can also carve wood.It turns out that this is not an exaggeration at all.

Zhang Shitai held a mountain ax as easily as an embroidery needle.

After a while of sawdust, Zhang Shitai sent the finished product carved with an ax to Ouyang or, saying, "Okay. Take a look."

Ouyang took the wooden figurine doll, and we all went over to have a look.

After I saw it, I almost laughed out loud.Although the old man Zhang could play with the ax so well, due to poor craftsmanship, although the wooden figurine was carved into the shape of a wooden figure, it looked extremely rough and ugly.It's just that the finished product looks like it has a head, four limbs, a nose and eyes, so it can barely be called a doll.

Old man Zhang's technique is not as good as that of Yang Xuzhi, the famous wooden man I have seen before.I'm afraid it's not even comparable to ordinary people, maybe not as good as me.

Who knew that Ouyang took the wooden figurine and looked at it, and praised: "Miao, Miao. Mr. Zhang's craftsmanship is superb, I admire it."

The few of us glanced at each other, a little stunned, our feelings seem to be polite, and the serious Ouyang might be able to stare and talk nonsense.

The old man Zhang smiled: "That's natural, this kind of work, if you find me, you've found the right person. I'll get you the second one."

As he said that, Old Man Zhang began to tinker with the trunk of another section of Dingshan pagoda tree.

After a while, another finished product took shape.I saw it, good guy, this one is not as good-looking as the last one, it looks like a horse monkey.

Ouyang might still be full of praise, like a treasure.

The old man Zhang swung his axe: "Is it still needed? I cut down this tree, and it will not be a problem to repair ten wooden figurines."

Ouyang waved his hand: "No need, thank you. These two dolls are enough."

As he said that, Ouyang glanced at me, and said, "Master, I want to take these two dolls and go to Grandma Li's temple to borrow soldiers. Would you like to go with me?"

I pointed to my nose: "Me? Okay, I'll go with you. But can we find the way?"

Ouyang pointed to my arms and said, "The fire raccoon tail held by Master may come in handy."

Ouyang or these words reminded me, yes, I can use a fire raccoon tail to recruit raccoons from the mountains to guide us.The raccoon grandma's temple was originally their base camp.

I took out the pinch of fire raccoon tail, shook it in my hand, and said, "I don't know how to use this thing."

Ouyang said: "The fire raccoon king's tail is necessary for him to issue orders. When it is time to gather his disciples, the fire raccoon king can release a puff of breath from his abdomen, and the breath will be released by shaking the fire raccoon tail. It is scattered in the surrounding air. Therefore, the fire raccoon tail has the body odor of the fire raccoon king. The master only needs to shake the fire raccoon tail in the air a few times, so that the smell of the fire raccoon tail can be dispersed in the air, and the cat raccoon will follow it Come and obey your orders."

"Is it that simple?" After hearing Ouyang or's words, I was dubious.

I found Undead Valley along the way, and I never saw the shadow of Maolizi again.Even the white raccoon who showed us the way was gone, and he must have left our surroundings long ago.

According to what Ouyang Yu said, I held up the fire fox tail in the air and shook it back and forth a few times.

After about a few minutes, a miraculous scene happened.

I heard the calls of cats and lilies, and there were more than one, one after another, in every direction.

Tie Zhu barked, looking a little restless.

I quickly patted its head and said, "Tie Zhu, they are all from our own family, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Tie Zhu barked twice, stopped barking, but still stared at his surroundings vigilantly.

At this time, in the woods not far away, a white shadow, from far and near, quickly swept to a place about ten meters in front of us.

It was the white raccoon.

I think the reason why it came so quickly is that it has never been too far away from me.The fire raccoon tail on my body should be able to emit a scent, as long as they track this scent, they can follow me.

The white raccoon should now be the king of the nearby cat raccoons, strictly speaking, it should be called the white raccoon king.

It was not far away, and kept nodding at me.

Chapter 759 Returning to the Lizi Temple

I waggled my raccoon tail and called out, "Thank you, take us back to Grandma Li's temple."

The white raccoon continued to nod, and turned around.It seems that it has understood what I mean.

I nodded, turned around and explained to everyone that Ma Di, Pang Dahai, and Old Man Zhang stayed where they were.Wait until Ouyang and I return or borrow troops to make a decision.

Everyone nodded in agreement.Without further ado, Ouyang and I followed the white raccoon king, left the entrance of the Immortal Valley, and went to look for the raccoon temple again.

In fact, although in this mountain, the direction is difficult to distinguish.But now we want to find a place in the mountains, there are still ways.For example, let Tie Zhu track and lead the way, or have an old man with a live map stamp, and if it is not good enough, you can wait until night and let the little ghost of Danqiu lead the way, etc.

And the reason why I use white raccoons is because the raccoon temple is their base camp, and we should go back and inform them again.Furthermore, Ouyang also wanted me to try the function of the fire fox tail.

I also understood what he meant, and it was easy and smooth to drive the white raccoon king with the fire raccoon tail along the way.

On the way, I also asked Ouyang or why he used this kind of Dingshan locust tree to carve wooden figures?

Ouyang might tell me that this Dingshan locust tree belongs to the family of locust trees, locust tree is the ghost in the tree, and it is the genus of yin in the tree.It is most suitable for recruiting Yin soldiers.In addition, because the tree species of Dingshan locust tree can be compatible with the local Fengshui to the greatest extent, so that the local Yin soldiers will not feel uncomfortable after they come.

Another reason is because of the source of Dingshanhuai.Dingshanhuai was born after being irrigated with the blood of soldiers after they died in battle.Therefore, Dingshanhuai itself also has certain combat attributes.Such trees are more likely to be accepted by Yin soldiers.

I didn't expect that there would be so many sayings in this Xuanmen.

Ouyang also told me that with this wooden doll, he can recruit five Yin soldiers.Two puppets can recruit ten Yin soldiers to possess.

At this time, I asked him again why he didn't let Old Man Zhang carve more dolls, wouldn't it be possible to recruit more Yin soldiers.If there are a hundred or so Yin soldiers following us, how can we be afraid of any evil spirits in the Undead Valley?

Ouyang smiled again: "No, no. It's easy to say, but difficult to do to invite Yin soldiers. The so-called Yin soldiers are soldiers who fight for the underworld. Inviting them to the Yang world out of thin air requires certain Taoism. For ordinary people, Maybe you can invite one or two soldiers, and with my strength, you can invite ten soldiers to reach the peak."

What Ouyang You meant was that inviting Yin soldiers is easier said than done.This is equivalent to borrowing soldiers from the underworld to go to the underworld.Ordinary cultivators know how to invite Yin soldiers, and may be able to invite one or two.He himself can invite ten yin soldiers to come to the yang world.This has reached his limit.

If you think about it, ordinary people need to know the method to invite one or two, but Ouyang Yu can invite ten, which is already five times ten times the number.In my opinion, this is already very good.My thoughts just now were too naive.

Since I came into contact with Uncle San, at first I thought Taoism was mostly used to bluff people.

Burning two yellow talismans and dancing a few wooden swords can drive away ghosts and evil spirits?The so-called divination and divination are nothing more than a kind of psychological game.Even following the third uncle out to destroy the haunted house, he thought it was luck rather than strength.

But now my thinking has changed a lot, not only in Third Uncle and Chu Liuyan, I have seen the real Taoism and rune skills.Now that I have come into contact with Ouyang or the old man, and Zhong Tianhai, the ghost doctor, I have also realized what a more advanced Taoism looks like.The real Taoism can use some of its own methods to connect with the world that sounds like nothingness.

For example, the most common way to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits is to use some talismans and other substances to communicate with ghosts.Another example is the ghost-faced gong that Ouyang or said is also used as a medium to summon the soldiers of the underworld.

This Ouyang or, seemingly ordinary, can recruit the soldiers of the underworld to help. This kind of method is not as simple as empty talk.
