Chapter 3: Looking for the Mad Taoist

Grandma recalled that the crazy Taoist priest once mentioned a place: Wulipu, An County, so she quickly demolished her grandfather and rode her bicycle to go, and asked people all the time. Finally, she found out that place in a small town. When she arrived at Wulipu, it was dark. When she saw someone, she found out if there was a Taoist priest here. After several inquiries, she finally had a look: an elderly man instructed her grandfather Wulipu to have a small village west of Wulipu, but it was very remote. She had to pass a chestnut forest, with a cemetery below. After passing the cemetery, she walked another five miles. It was said that there was a Taoist priest there, and she didn't know what his surname or name was.

My grandfather thanked the old man, and took advantage of the moonlight and dared to walk at night. He passed by the chestnut forest. I don’t know if it was a fireflies or a green ghost fire. He was so scared that he pedaled desperately and fell down. He got up and didn’t bother to check. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. When he arrived in the small village, he was already sweating profusely. He sat at the entrance of the village to check and even saw the bones. His grandfather loved his little daughter very much, and was anxious, so he squatted on the side of the road and started crying.

Just as my grandfather was crying, a young man came out of a broken thatched house at the entrance of the village. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall nose, a white robe, and looked like a fairy-like bone. He rushed to ask his grandfather what was going on.

Grandpa is really impatient, just pouring beans into bamboo tubes with a stranger and telling the matter.

After listening to my grandfather’s story, the young man said, "Brother, don’t worry, follow me into the house and say slowly, I’ll bandage you, and then he led my grandfather into the house. After entering, in this inconspicuous thatched hut, the three Taoist purity: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

The man made a cup of tea for his grandfather and signaled his grandfather to sit down and took off his trousers. When he saw that it was a big hole, he even cut his pants. The blood soaked the fabric. He went into the house and took herbs to apply it first, and then wrapped it with a white cloth. However, the blood was temporarily stopped. It was so painful that he felt palpitations.

After bandaging, he got up and made a cup of tea for his grandfather. It looked ordinary, but it was strange to drink a sip of tea. He gradually calmed down his uneasy heart, and his wounds gradually stopped hurting. Then he explained the whole story and asked the man if he knew that there was an old Taoist priest here.

Unexpectedly, the man said, "If I was not wrong, you should be looking for my master. Unfortunately, he had already returned to heaven three years ago. Since the master told you to come to him during his lifetime, then if the eldest brother believes me, I will go over and take a look. Do you think it's okay?"

When my grandfather heard that someone was dead, what else could he do? He could only treat the dead horse as a living horse. He nodded repeatedly, fearing that this person would not be found later.

The man asked his aunt's birthday, took out her compass and calculated her fingers, and said to her grandfather: "If nothing unexpected happens, your little daughter will probably not live to the fifteenth of this month. The master once warned her nine years ago, but she didn't expect that you not only did not believe it, but also...ah."

When my grandfather heard this, he immediately knelt down to the man and cried bitterly: "None of us thought of that crazy Taoist priest back then, what the Taoist priest said was true. Look, what should I do?"

Everything may be destined. While helping my grandfather up, the man said to himself: "Forget it, forgot, you can wait a moment."

But after a while, the man came out of the wing room next to him, wearing a Taoist robe with gold and silver thread, a gossip hat, white gossip shoes, and a gossip Qiankun bag on his back, and said to his grandfather: "Take me to your house, the faster the better, the better, the better.

If you can leave now, set off immediately.”

Seeing the man dressed in Taoist priests, my grandfather knew that he had met someone who knew what he knew, he quickly got up. The two of them rushed back to his grandmother's house overnight. However, they knew that his grandfather's journey also had problems with his legs in the future, and he became a little lame from now on.

If you say that the outer fair is also a good laborer in the village at ordinary times, but now there is a leg injury, the Taoist priest is anxious and can only grit his teeth and persevere. This man is Cha Wenbin, who later formed an indissoluble bond with our family. That year, Cha Wenbin had a son and a daughter, and lived a poor rural life, working from sunrise to sunset.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, my grandfather explained the origin to my grandmother, so he took Cha Wenbin to my aunt's room. What's strange is that this time my uncle's little black dog was particularly kind when he saw Wenbin and hugged his legs happily. You must know that this dog is usually very fierce to strangers. It is said that even my father was almost bitten by it.

Wenbin touched the little black dog's head, Xiaoxiao went in, and asked the others to stay outside. After a stick of incense, Cha Wenbin came out, his face was a little heavy

Grandma asked nervously: "Master, how is the situation?"

Cha Wenbin didn't say anything, but asked his grandmother to prepare a table outside the door. How dare she be negligent? She quickly moved a small table and placed it at the door.

Then Cha Wenbin asked his grandmother to prepare a rice dumpling (the rice dumpling means to fill the rice in the bowl, and after the stones are used, pour out the whole rice to make the rice appear in the shape of a bowl. Then put the rice in the bowl, keeping the rice in the bottom of the bowl facing upward, and it is necessary to have half a lifetime of rice.)

After setting up the case, a bowl of rice dumplings were placed in the middle. The man took out three incense sticks, a stack of talisman paper, a box of cinnabar, and a brush from the Qiankun bag. He asked his grandfather to carry his aunt's bed to the opposite door, and asked his grandfather to tie his aunt with hemp rope.

Besides, my aunt at that time, since Wen Bin entered, she had been moving around. Even my grandfather, an adult man, could hardly hold her back. After she let the Buddha go overnight, she became as powerful as a cow. After hearing the Taoist priest's words, she used a hemp rope to trap my aunt. Later I realized that this hemp god was not only to prevent my aunt from moving around, but more of the function was to lock my soul, that is, to trap my aunt's soul and prevent her soul from leaving her body.

After tied up my aunt, the Taoist priest took something that looked like a black stone and stuffed it into my aunt's mouth, saying that it was to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide after she got it done. After all, the Taoist priest respectfully lit three incenses. The incense was longer and thicker than the ordinary incense we saw, and the color was yellow. It might be the legendary tribute incense. It was strange that there was no wind in the room, but the smoke from the lit incense was combined into one of three, and then it slowly floated to my aunt's room...

Then Wenbin took out an inkstone. My grandfather was a calligraphy lover. When he saw the inkstone, he realized that it was not an ordinary inkstone. It was a white copper ink cartridge inkstone, which looked like a gossip. However, the middle part of this inkstone was red, not the ordinary inkstone was black.

The Taoist priest glanced at his uncle, touched his head, and smiled and said to him, "Little baby, go and piss it in, put it in a bowl, take it in and bring it in for me."

Grandma quickly took another big bowl and led her uncle out. After a while, her uncle's urine came in. The Taoist priest poured a little urine into the inkstone, then put the box of cinnabar into the inkstone. After stirring, he picked up the brush and started drawing the talisman on the talisman paper. When drawing the talisman, the pen did not leave the paper, and all of them were connected to the end. A total of eight talismans were drawn, and then they were pasted in eight directions in my aunt's room.

It was strange that after the last talisman was pasted, the aunt on the bed actually roared in horror, but she was stuffed in her mouth and couldn't hear what it was. But her eyes were wide open and she waved her head uneasy, as if she was very scared and angry!

Wenbin didn't even look at his struggling aunt, but instead walked over quickly, stepping on the seven-star step. Every time he started walking, he would draw a talisman, and then stick his fingers. He didn't know how it was done. The talisman paper burned, and then began to chant the spell in his mouth. The aunt on the bed began to struggle more and more with Wenbin's spell and talisman paper. A little girl, who was only nine years old, seemed to be about to break free from the hemp rope as thick as a finger, even the bed board clattered. Her face turned into heat from whiteness, and her mouth kept making noises: Huh~~ Huh~~, and you must not hear clearly what it was.

After burning forty-nine talismans in total, my aunt seemed to have exhausted her strength in struggling, leaving only loud gasps. My grandmother and her family were so scared that they dared not move. However, the expression on Wenbin's face became more and more serious, and gradually she began to sweat. After the last talisman was burned, she was sweating like rain.
