Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 25
I sat on the ground and watched the female ghost go into the ground and disappear, and I felt chills in my heart. If this ghost can penetrate the wall and enter the ground, wouldn't it be easy for her to attack me quietly in the future?

When I thought of this, I panicked immediately, and rushed over to hug Master, yelling for him to take me home.

I was really worried enough. When I was in Tsingyi Village, except for some weird things on the back mountain, it was still very safe on the whole.And since I followed Master, I first encountered the hairy-handed monster that grabbed my foot in Funan River, and then the fortune-teller Old Man Li died tragically at home, and now I was attacked by a female ghost on the first night when I arrived in Qingcheng Mountain. Twice in a row, she acted as if she had some kind of deep hatred with me, which made me still shudder to this day.

Also, the dream I had before the female ghost attacked me, whether it was a real dream or not, I am not quite sure.But those big scarlet eyes in the water are still vivid in my mind. When I think of it, I feel inexplicably sad. This incident is also very strange.

Master looked at me crying, and his face was also very ugly, but he still comforted me patiently and comforted my frightened heart.

Soon, Mu Yueting entered the room, she glanced at me who was crying, and then asked Master, "Master, what's wrong?"

"The female ghost came back to attack your junior brother just now, and she also knows how to escape from the ground. This female ghost is not easy." The master's face was ugly, and he said to Mu Yueting while comforting me.

In fact, when I saw Mu Yueting coming in, I stopped crying, and even wiped away the tears on my face silently. For some reason, I just didn't want her to see me crying and cowardly.

"Why did this female ghost attack twice in a row... Where's my junior brother?" When Mu Yueting said my name, her face was a little awkward, as if she was not used to my sudden extra junior brother.

Hearing Mu Yueting's words, Master's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked down at me and said, "Xuanzi, tell Master how did that female ghost do it, and what happened at the beginning?" How did it appear?"

I looked at Master, hesitant, not talking about the female ghost, but the mysterious experience I experienced before the female ghost appeared. A sense of joy, and the big black head in the Taoist temple seen in the sky.After that, there is an unknown depth under the huge hydraulic project, and the pair of scarlet blood-like eyes.

I remember all this so clearly, and the sadness from the depths of my soul is so real. Is this really a dream?

I pursed my lips and did not answer Master's words. Instead, I asked Master, "Master, is there anything in that pond in our Taoist temple?"

The master was stunned for a moment, and Mu Yueting who was on the side also gave me a surprised look.

The master said with a smile: "That adult lives in the pond in our Taoist temple. He is an old ancestor who has lived for an unknown number of years. You will see him later."

I nodded, and it turned out that the head I saw in mid-air was really the creature in the pond.But at the same time, a problem arises. If it is not a dream, but a real thing, how can I fly from the house in one leap, I don’t know how many kilometers I have flown, and I can even dive into the water to an unknown depth. See those eyes.

How could this be true?At best, I'm just a kid with some strange experiences. How can I fly against the wind? Even my master and the others can't do it.

Flying freely in the sky, I am afraid that only the legendary gods can do it.

What's more, if it was true, how could I return to my bed in the blink of an eye, and be pressed by that female ghost?Thinking of the pale face of that female ghost, another layer of goose bumps crawled up on my arms.

"Xuanzi, what's the matter with you?" Master asked worriedly when he saw me sitting there without saying a word, my face turning green and pale.

I hesitated for a while, and after thinking about it, I told Master everything I saw tonight, including that wonderful experience and those scarlet eyes underwater.After all, after leaving Tsing Yi Village, Master is now the only one I can rely on, and he is also the person I trust the most at the moment.

Master quietly listened to what I said, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and Mu Yueting who was standing beside her also looked at me in surprise, as if I was like a rare animal.

After a long time, the master's face returned to normal, and he said to me: "The old man Li said that you have some connection with the things under the Dujiangyan, it seems to be true, otherwise he would not die tragically, and you are even less likely to die." As soon as you arrive here, you will encounter such strange and mysterious things. Then what is the thing under Dujiangyan, a pair of scarlet eyes?"

"Also, Dujiangyan and your Chen family, one in Chengdu and the other in Yazhou, are separated by hundreds of kilometers. If it was a long distance before, how could they be related?"

The master looked at me with confusion on his face and said: "As far as I know, Chen Shengzhi was born in the ancestors of the Chen family, but that was only more than 300 years ago, and the history of Dujiangyan But it goes back to the Warring States Period more than 2000 years ago. There is a big gap between the times. Maybe the bronze mask is the key, but there is something important missing in the middle."

I looked at the confused look on Master's face, as if he was as wise as he was, he couldn't figure out the relationship behind it for a while.At this moment, I can't help but think of all the weird things I saw on the mountain behind Tsingyi Village. I think of Chen Shengzhi's look back at me at the gate of the ancient castle. At that moment, he seemed to see me across the long river of time. The smile on his face still makes my heart tremble when I think about it. That smile seems to hide a lot of things. It seems that all the problems I encountered are contained in his smile.

What is our Chen family planning?
Is it really as simple as trying to seize the luck of Tsing Yi Gu Qiang?And that mysterious naked woman, I always feel that her identity seems to be an extremely important matter, perhaps the missing connection between the Chen family and Dujiangyan lies in her and that mask.

"Master, the magic weapon is ready."

At this moment, Mu Yueting spoke from the side, her crisp voice broke the silence.

Master nodded. He stood up and patted my head, and said, "Xuanzi, don't be afraid. Master will open the altar and arrest that female ghost."

I was suddenly excited, and the fear just now was instantly thrown out of the sky by me. You must know that what I like most is this kind of Taoism and thaumaturgy. Back then, Daoist Wuwei’s demon summoning spell in Zhao’s courtyard made me Obsessed for a long time.

I then went out of the house and saw that there was an incense table set up in the yard, and there were five bowls on the incense table. These five bowls were all filled with dark water, emitting a stench from a distance. , I don't know what's inside.

I saw Master straightening the creased robes on his body, washing his hands with clean water, and walking towards the incense table, as if he was about to start practicing.

I stood next to Mu Yueting, a gust of night wind blew in, and the fragrance wafted through my nostrils. I couldn't help but glance at the girl next to me, bit my lip, and said, "Senior sister, what's in that bowl? It smells so bad." Oh."

"Beast blood." Mu Yueting turned her head and glanced at me, her voice was cold, like the cold wind blowing in winter, which made me dare not speak any more.

At this moment, the master has already started to practice. I saw him dancing a set of marvelous swordsmanship with a mahogany sword in his hand. The thousands of stars in the starry sky that contain magical power almost dazzle the eyes from a distance, and I feel that they are really mysterious and complicated.

Just as the master was performing the sword dance, the five bowls of animal blood on the incense table began to change, and the black animal blood in the bowls began to evaporate, and black smoke came out of it, filling the entire courtyard. Looking up, if you look down from a high altitude, this Taoist temple looks like a ghostly ghostland at the moment.
