Zha Wenbin went in, looked at the four flickering Long Sleep Lanterns, took a deep breath, and since he wanted to give them a show of force, he wouldnt blame himself for what was about to happen. He took out the Tian Shi Zheng Dao Great Seal, applied cinnabar on it, and slapped it onto each coffin lid with a loud "slap". Putting a great seal on coffins, not only was this his first time, probably the entire Taoist community had never done such a thing before!
This big seal was mentioned earlier, and it is the Maoshan Kaishan Dabao Yin that Mo Daoming privately passed on to Ling Zhengyang. Its a magical artifact for suppressing evil spirits. After using it, the seal wasnt taken back, and instead, a wooden bench was dragged over, and the big seal was placed facing the coffin inside...
Its strange to say, but just a few minutes after the big seal was pressed, suddenly there was a flash in front of my eyes, and the electricity came... The whole room returned to its original state, and the people outside saw that the electricity had come, and they couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief. In the dark night, the light is safer than anything else, especially in this place...
Cha Wenbin saw the electricity arrive and also let out a sigh of relief, urging the relatives outside to hurry up and come in to offer incense, burn paper, and kowtow. A few bolder ones came in first; after burning everything without any issues, more people gradually followed suit.
Several of Wang Weiguos brothers and sisters also started wailing, during which time Cha Wenbin stared at the four lanterns. He understood that as long as the lanterns didnt go out, there wouldnt be any trouble, but if they did go out, it would mean that tonight was doomed.
The last person finished the incense, Cha Wenbin looked at Jin Guanzhang sitting in the corner with his head down and asked him to come up again, repeating what he had done before. To say that Jin Guanzhang was really unwilling in his heart, but also feared being entangled afterwards, so he could only follow suit.
This time, Cha Wenbin saw that the moment Jin Guanzhang finished burning incense, the four Long Sleep Lanterns almost shook at the same time and quickly returned to normal. He then called Zhao Suozhang over and told him to stand next to Jin Guanzhang later that night, not going anywhere else. Zhao Suozhang agreed and accompanied Jin Guanzhang to the courtyard, where they sat down on a pile of hay and smoked silently.
Cha Wenbin also took the opportunity to rest for a while, so he found a stool and sat in front of the gate. He was treating himself as the door god. He sat until 12 oclock, without waiting for Old Hes reminder, Cha Wenbin stood up on time, adjusted his clothes, and walked into the house with big strides, indicating that the people crying for the spirit could stop.
Twelve oclock, the moment when yin energy is at its heaviest in a day, and also the best time for the living to make contact with the dead. Everything was done at this hour. After taking a glance at the talisman of the Heavenly Master stuck firmly on the wall, Zhao Wenbin steadied his gaze, opened his Qiankun bag, took out the exorcism bell, and slung the Seven-Star Sword over his back. He glanced at the large seal but didnt take it. The relatives of the Wang family were divided into two groups, men to the left and women to the right, standing on both sides of the main hall. Originally, this was the time for the grand funeral procession, but that had all been done ahead of schedule, so it wasnt needed now.
After standing still, the women formed a line and circled around the four coffins, with the men on the outside. The women moved clockwise and the men counterclockwise. Every three circles they turned around to change direction, he was in the middle also circling, shaking the bell while reciting some scriptures for the dead, after six circles, he indicated that everyone could leave.
Originally, I was going to walk on the Xian Bridge. Looking at that eight-year-old kid, what if he gets taken away by his parents while crossing the bridge? That would be... Wen Wenbin dispelled this thought and crossed the bridge anyway.
He took a handful of glutinous rice and a handful of tea leaves, put them in a bowl and stirred them evenly. He sprinkled them all over every corner of the house, preparing to finish up. If nothing unexpected happened next, everything should be fine. He was about to go out for a cup of tea and take a break. Before he could even step out the door, a sudden gust of wind blew by. Cha Wenbin shouted in alarm: "Not good!" With a swift motion, he drew his treasured sword from behind his back and turned around, but it was already too late. The middle lamp of the four Long Sleep Lamps, Wang Weiguos lamp, had gone out... The remaining three lamps were in a weak state, on the verge of going out.
Zha Wenbins hand shook, and with a swoosh, a talisman flew in. Before the paper fell to the ground, the Seven-Star Treasure Sword flashed coldly, pointing directly at the coffin in the middle. The talisman landed and caught fire, and the three lanterns suddenly brightened up again, as if they had been refueled. However, only a wisp of blue smoke remained floating above the middle lamp wick. Zha Wenbin shouted loudly: Ah! Another soul-calming talisman was slapped onto Wang Weiguos coffin!
It seems that this life-taking gate, without him as the door god, is still a bad thing. Wang Weiguo has already become a ghost rather than a soul, and hes still in the house but hasnt left yet. Cha Wenbin also doesnt dare to be careless, as the master must be emitting an aura of death right now.
The people outside the door looked at the Taoist inside and suddenly did this, they all went over to see what was going on. After Zhang Wenbin made a "dont come near" gesture, he closed the big door, he wanted to capture Wang Weiguo!
The new dead person who became a fierce ghost, most of them are not so cruel, except for today. Although Wang Weiguo is a member of the Zhuang family, he has been living in the land of absolute death for a long time, and his whole family has suffered a disaster, accumulating resentment, which broke through the fear of the Great Seal. If it were to be released today, it would surely bring great harm. Zha Wenbin deeply understands the reason behind this.
The big gate was closed, and that bloody smell gradually became thicker again, about to penetrate into every pore of Zha Wenbin.
At that time, the rural homes did not have todays tile floors. Wealthy families would use cement, but most people still had mud floors. Cha Wenbin held the Seven-Star Sword and directly inserted it into Wang Weiguos coffin, the sword body trembling as if to tell the owner inside the coffin how excited he was at this moment.
Another copper mirror with the eight trigrams carved on its back was taken out and placed on the stool that had been separating the large seal. The mirror faced Wang Weiguos coffin, and slowly, the bloody smell seemed to be fading away. Without paying attention to this subtle change, Cha Wenbin quickly made a small paper man using yellow paper, placed it on the ground, wrote Wang Weiguos birth date and eight characters on its back, and put it on his coffin.
Next, I had to find the fierce ghost. I took out the Luopan and looked at the jumping pointer on it. Soon, the pointer stopped in the northeast corner. I pinched a hand seal and tapped my eyelids with my fingers, which is called "opening the heavenly eye". After opening the heavenly eye, Cha Wenbin indeed discovered Wang Weiguo squatting in the northeast corner of the wall, covered in fresh blood and staring at him.
How to open the third eye? It requires practicing corresponding Taoist techniques and a medium; there are many animals in nature that can see things that people cannot see, for example, on a certain deep night, in an empty village, a dogs frantic barking sounds, no matter how the owner persuades it, it will not listen, often retreating while barking, but the direction of its barking is always towards a place where we see nothing. In such cases, it is likely that it has seen something that you cannot see.
Cha Wenbin opened the heavenly eye, using cow tears. In the past, oxen to be slaughtered would always shed tears before being killed. The butcher would use a small knife, smaller than todays fruit knife, to stroke the back of the oxs neck, where the meat was thickest. As he stroked, the ox would kneel down on all fours and a lump would appear on its neck. At this point, the ox would shed tears, and the butcher would insert the knife into the lump, ending the oxs life.
It is said that this cow is aware of human nature and knows it will die, so it kneels down and cries. These tears are the purest things in the world and can see all hidden evil, so they are collected by Taoists as a medium for opening the heavenly eye. However, the corresponding time is limited, and Cha Wenbins opened heavenly eye only lasts for one incense stick of time.
Wang Weiguo had already transcended the concept of a soul, and was now purely an evil spirit born from resentment. At this moment, he was staring at him, but seemed to be wary of the large seal and treasure sword, not daring to make any moves.
Cha Wenbin held the compass in one hand and drew his sword with the other, taking seven-star steps to arrive at the northeast corner. Wang Weiguo, who was crouching down, suddenly stood up and rushed towards the gate without waiting for Cha Wenbin to make a move, seemingly trying to escape. Before he could cross halfway through the coffin, the yin-yang mirror on the stool shook violently, and the fierce ghost was knocked to the ground as if it had been bounced back. By the time Cha Wenbin approached, the ghost was already struggling to get up. Seizing the opportunity, Cha Wenbin quickly drew a talisman with his left hand and swiped it across the sword, igniting a burst of flames. With the burning Heavenly Masters symbol on the sword tip, he thrust it towards Wang Weiguos face.
