Spiritual Mountain
Chapter 93 Lingshan
When it was almost midnight, Cheng Shengfei knocked on the window and called Li Wuxiang out.
The ceremony was held in the backyard of Feiyunguan, using a utility room that had been cleared out. When Li Wuxiang arrived, the child was already asleep and was held in Cheng Peixin's arms.
The five pieces of leather Cheng Peixin cut off from Xu Daosheng were dried and sewn on the head, hands and feet of a cotton and linen jumpsuit. At this time, the clothes were worn on the child, with only the eyes, mouth and nose exposed.
The utility room contained a small coffin tied with paper, and there were incense tables and tributes around it. It was decorated like a mourning hall. Cheng Peixin put the child into the small coffin, put only the lid of the paper coffin aside, and then quietly exited the door.
Li Wuxiang saw a toilet in the utility room and a pile of drinking water.
"He stayed in there for seven days?"
Cheng Peixin nodded solemnly: "Yes, the first seven."
Then she closed the door and took a painting from Cheng Shengfei.
This painting depicts the door god, which is similar to the New Year pictures and is colorful. This door god wears a helmet and armor, holds two whips, and his face is painted red, giving him a ferocious and angry appearance. It is very consistent with the appearance in his impression, but there are not two, but only one.
Cheng Peixin posted the painting on the door, but with the front facing inward, only the white background was exposed.
Then she took two steps back and took the magic sword from Cheng Shengfei's hand. She is now wearing a white double-breasted cassock with the pattern of the Xiangyun Pagoda embroidered on it. After moving her sleeves, she first bowed to the door god, then a talisman in her hand ignited silently, and she immediately started to step on the spot, mouthing After thinking about the words, he started to practice the method.
Li Wuxiang is now considered a serious practitioner, but he knows nothing about these rituals. He took a few steps back and only looked at Cheng Peixin and Cheng Shengfei.
The ceremony was more complicated than he remembered. From the beginning until half an hour passed, neither of them stopped. When Cheng Peixin first stepped on the Gang Step, it looked like she was doing a serious and solemn ritual, but then her movements changed - as if she began to imitate the movements of various wild beasts, shrinking her head, shrugging her shoulders, and slumping her waist. Sometimes he walks on tiptoes, sometimes he looks up to the sky and roars.
Such actions for such a beautiful woman should have been funny, but at this time, the whole courtyard became cold.
Every time she imitated an animal, there was a roar of that animal outside the yard, and the door panel of the backyard also crackled, as if something was scratching.
When these sounds took turns, a strong wind started blowing outside the courtyard again. The wind was mixed with whispers, as if someone was talking in his ear, with a vicious and sharp tone. Li Wuxiang listened attentively, and he could hear fragments of the words, but he had no idea at all. What does it mean.
A quarter of an hour later, the door of the utility room where the paper coffin was parked suddenly banged. The strong wind in the courtyard became even colder, but Li Wuxiang felt that his body was heating and trembling - the heat was the small sword in his body. What was shaking was the piece of talisman paper containing the illusion of Ranshan, as if it sensed something in the strong wind.
And his feeling - the sky seemed to be falling down. He felt a little excited and trembling, as if he had seen someone or something he had not seen for a long time. He felt that his skin was swelling, as if something was happening in the space around him. A strange force was pulling him somewhere.
This feels a bit familiar - similar to how Zhao Qi invited the Kitchen God in Jinshui.
But it was completely different - because what he felt at that time was that something extremely heavy was coming, and now he was the one being pulled.
But he didn't have time to appreciate this feeling carefully. The next moment, Cheng Peixin suddenly put away the sword and stood on the spot. The strong wind stopped instantly, and all the sounds, emotions, and stress disappeared.
Cheng Peixin was panting, and her chest rose and fell violently several times before she calmed down. Cheng Shengfei quickly handed her a sweat handkerchief, and she wiped it before turning to Li Wuxiang and said, "The Lingshan Mountain here is a bit chaotic today, but it doesn't matter. I'll invite you again at midnight tomorrow, and I should be able to invite the real spirit."
Lingshan!
When he was in Jinshui before, Zhao Puppet once said that he "occupied an ancient cave in Lingshan"!
Seeing that Li Wuxiang didn't speak for a while, she sighed: "We killed a lot of people in Ranshan a few days ago, and there was chaos here. It's not that I don't want to do it for a while, but it's just that we are here at this time. The ones who come here are all wild gods with a little bit of knowledge, and if they are called to the upper body, they will lose their energy. "
Li Wuxiang nodded at this time: "It's just that I have never seen the scene just now in Jianzong. I was fascinated by it. I don't mean to blame you. It's really hard."
Cheng Peixin looked really tired at this time, her eyes were red, her face was pale, and she was yawning. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned two more times: "Then I'll go back to the room to adjust my breathing first. Fei'er, you can do it tonight." Stay here and call me at dawn. Fellow Taoist, I will go back first."
Li Wuxiang smiled at her and nodded, then watched her go away before slowly exhaling.
Lingshan!
When Zhao Puppet mentioned Lingshan, he thought it was some secret place. But what Cheng Peixin said just now was "Lingshan here today". This expression seemed to mean that the word Lingshan did not refer to a specific place.
Cheng Shengfei was collecting the ashes and tributes on the ground, but it was hard to ask her. He did not want to appear unfamiliar with these matters.
But even without asking, he felt that he could make a rough guess.
Because Cheng Peixin also said something else - "If you call your upper body again, your energy will be gone."
Thinking back to her tired look of yawning just now, Li Wuxiang immediately thought of the "horse fairy" in the past world.
The "immortals" invited by "Chu Ma Xian" are mostly mountain spirits and the like, and maybe ghosts. Those who have a little bit of practice will have their own cave somewhere. Those who have a deeper practice will also need to raise soldiers and horses.
It is said that there are soldiers and horses in this world. The wooden sword of the man he killed on the road had soldiers and horses in it.
Thinking back to Zhao Puppet's previous statement about occupying an ancient cave in Lingshan, Li Wuxiang realized that the word "Lingshan" should refer to another world different from the world where living people live. Cheng Peixin's state just now probably meant that he was not invited. The door god came to visit, but he was taken over by those "wild gods" one after another, only to be sent away again.
But this is all common sense, and he will know it sooner or later. What really made him feel a little fluttering in his heart were the emotions he had just experienced.
That kind of... excitement and trembling, as if seeing someone or something reunited after a long absence, that is the feeling when an external evil comes!
He had always felt that the external evil was in him before, but now he realized that the external evil might also be a very powerful one among the wild gods in Lingshan. Whenever he felt the emotions of the external evil, he was actually being seduced like Cheng Peixin just now. body!
Li Wuxiang couldn't help but smile in his heart. He was not in a very good mood in the evening, but now he felt happy all over - the external evil is not in my skin or somewhere in my soul, I am still me, and I have absolute control over this body!
In this case, it will be easier to handle. As your cultivation improves and your realm improves, it shouldn't be as easy as it was in the Xue family's woodshed, making you want to cut off your own hands!
He turned and glanced towards the east of the city: "Miss Cheng."
Cheng Shengfei immediately turned around: "Sect Master?"
"I'm going out for a trip and will be back later."
As time passes, he seizes the day. Now he is going to attach his spiritual thoughts to the Taiyi statue in the east of the city!
