After finally coming to the city, Liao Daqiu and others thought about it and decided that they should go back to the doctor to buy some medicinal materials. If the epidemic breaks out, they may not be able to buy medicine by then.
So the group went to a familiar medicine shop in the county. In the past, when people in the village wanted to buy medicine, most of them would come to this Jimingtang. Now they are here. The shopkeeper is also a doctor from this shop, Zhenghe. The apprentices in the shop were busy grabbing the medicine and wrapping it up.
Seeing that there were not many people taking medicine in the store, Liao Daqiu, Lao Zhang and others looked at each other and hurried forward to ask.
“Doctor Zhao, we want to grab some medicine.”
Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper turned and looked aside, and saw Liao Daqiu and his party who had already entered the drug store.
In fact, many people know that Lao Liao led the people of Maotan Village to build a cemetery. The shopkeeper of Jimingtang knows these people, so he naturally knows it.
Although many people will say that Lao Liao and the people in Maotan Village are stupid, as a doctor, I feel that the people in Maotan Village have done a good job both in terms of morality and medical principles, so I usually treat people from this village more often. take care of.
“Oh, it’s Lao Liao and Lao Zhang. Have you entered the city? It’s better to stay in your own village during this period. A plague has begun in other counties, so it’s better to move less.”
Hearing that the doctor also mentioned this matter, Lao Liao said quickly.
“Yes, yes, we are going to grab some medicine and prepare it. Doctor Zhao, please give us some medicine to prevent or treat the plague.”
Doctor Zhao look at the medicine cabinet.
“What a coincidence, I am also preparing. How much do you want? Let’s prepare enough for twenty people for three days. If you are really infected with the epidemic, medication alone is not enough, and you have to come to me.”
“Yes, yes, you are the doctor, you make the decision!”
Liao Daqiu and the villagers quickly nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the people carrying the medicine left the pharmacy and then left the city.
When Liao Daqiu, Lao Zhang and others returned to Maotan Village, they could already see smoke rising from the kitchens of every household. After a long day of busy work, a meal to reward the ghosts in the cemetery was almost ready.
Lao Liao and his party came back just in time, it was still early, and the largest rice soup ceremony in the history of Maotan Village began.
Women and men either carried it in a basket or pushed it on a cart, and together they carried a pot of potted vegetables to the direction of the cemetery. Of course, they also brought a big table and a set of sacrificial utensils.
The dishes are all served in pots, some are soup basins, and some are simply washed basins. The main reason is that there are too many dishes. If you use a plate, you don’t know how much you need. It is more convenient to use a basin and it is not easy to spill.
Soon a total of more than 40 people arrived outside the cemetery. The old village chief and Liao Daqiu picked a few specially prepared dishes and placed them in front of the Tutu Temple. After placing the chopsticks, they poured two glasses of wine. .
After lighting the candles on the candlestick and the incense in the small incense burner, he led the crowd to worship the land.
“The Lord of the Earth bless, the Lord of the Earth bless!”
After doing this, the old village chief straightened up.
“Okay, let’s move all the tables off the cart and put them on the open space over there, and put all the dishes on the tables.”
“Yes, yes, hurry up and get ready, it will be dark soon.”
Some villagers don’t come to the cemetery often, and they are a little scared when they see so many graves. They hear that it might get dark soon, so even though it is still early, they can’t help but become more agile.
Soon, basins of still steaming dishes were placed on more than a dozen eight-person tables, and some were placed on the relatively clean ground around them. There were also wine cups, wine bottles, and candles. and lit with incense.
Led by the village chief, more than 40 people who came over kept kowtowing to the dishes on the table, and Lao Liao even shouted a few words a little loudly.
“You heroes, the flags and weapons are being made. Today I will serve you rice soup. Our Maotan Village is not a wealthy place and our abilities are limited. These dishes are the best food we can provide. , fellow warriors, don’t despise it, use it slowly, use it slowly!”
The temperature here in the cemetery seemed to be lower than in other places. The cool breeze blew by, making the people in the village shiver.
The lit candles were beating loudly. Everyone slowly exited the cemetery and came to the place outside the Earth Temple, waiting for the soup to be finished. Usually the soup is served at the altar table after lighting the candle and worshiping, so there is no need to wait too long. It took a long time, but today they planned to wait for two quarters of an hour.
That night, the food for every household in Maotan Village was as rich as the Chinese New Year. With so many dishes cooked, it was impossible to waste them, so naturally every household took some back to eat.
It’s just that when eating, many people in the village felt that the food tasted much bland, far more exaggerated than the food left over from ordinary homes to worship ancestors. But the more it was like this, the more the villagers inexplicably believed it. The significance of this matter.
At night, the cemetery area gradually became filled with wild fires. The Earth God appeared in front of the temple, sitting on his small temple and watching what happened in the cemetery.
Ghosts are different from people. People need to eat every day, but rice soup is not needed several times a year. The mental outlook of ghosts today is very different from before.
“Time is tight, and it is impossible for me to train you all into soldiers who are good at fighting. But we are ghosts, and we are very different from others, so we focus on body skills and pace! It can be summed up in one word: ‘stable’!” ”
“Everyone! We have made an oath in front of our benefactor, and we will never disappoint our benefactor and the people of Maotan Village!”
The two warrior ghosts faced each other, their arms clawing at each other as if wrestling, wrestling each other to throw each other away, but neither was shaken, and one of them kept talking.
“You can’t fall at any time! You are surrounded by robes. You must believe in the weapons in your hands and the robes around you! Drink…”
Just as he was talking, the soldier shouted and threw away another ghost soldier beside him. The latter did not relax his arms and actually floated three feet away from the ground with him, and then landed on a grave. .
“Brothers! Everyone already knows that we ghosts are lonely and miserable in life, and our life span after death is not long. We have died once… Last time we died in vain, this time even if we have to die, we will die. Be heroic!”
The Earth God crossed his legs and looked at him from a distance. He felt that this soldier was a genius. He was probably not simple during his lifetime, but it was a pity that he died young.
……
Three days later, Liao Daqiu and some villagers entered the county again, paid the remaining copper coins, and got all the flags and weapons made by the paper craftsman.
I didn’t stop after I came back, I took my things directly to the cemetery, piled them outside the grave area and burned them. However, what Liao Daqiu and other Maotan villagers didn’t know was that when they burned these paper weapons, The Earth God had long been standing by the fire, muttering something, and melting his magic power into the fire along with the wishes of the people of Maotan Village.
A while has passed, and more and more news about the plague has spread to the county and to the ears of the people in Maotan Village. However, they only heard that there is an epidemic, and they don’t know the specific situation.
On this day, Liao Daqiu and the old village chief were squatting in a dry toilet at the end of the village. The topic between them was naturally about the epidemic ghost.
“Why aren’t you here yet?”
“What are you talking about? Are you still looking forward to coming?”
“Well, of course it’s best not to come, of course it’s best…”
As Liao Daqiu spoke, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He subconsciously looked at the northwest sky. The more he looked at it, the more dizzy he became. The voice of the old village chief came to him at this moment.
“Old Liao, why do I feel that… the sky in the northwest seems to be falling?”
“I, I feel the same way, my head is still dizzy…”
Lao Liao rubbed his eyes and looked again, and felt that the sky over there was still normal. However, after staring carefully for a long time, he started to feel dizzy again, so he quickly concentrated on relieving himself.
“Woo…Woo…”
Gusts of wind blew by, and the branches and leaves of the trees not far from the aqua toilet were swaying, and the sound of the wind carried a sense of sadness.
What the old village chief and Liao Daqiu didn’t know was that at this moment, Tu Tuozheng looked towards the northwest with a shocked face. Although the road was extremely far away, and although he didn’t know what was happening, the mysterious and mysterious feeling was so strong.
‘There is an expert casting a spell! ’
Darkness fell particularly quickly on this day. As usual, the people of Maotan Village went home early and closed their doors and windows. Outside the village, as the sun completely set, just like the previous days, one by one, armed with weapons, The ghosts of the cemetery have appeared outside the village, and they are all training and preparing for the attack.
“Woo…Woo…Woo…”
The wind was loud, as if someone was crying. The Earth God suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance, and the ghosts of the surrounding cemetery also stopped moving.
“Coming!”
The Earth God said with a serious face, and the ghosts also became energetic.
“Brothers and sisters, hold on to the weapons in your hands. We will be miserable in life, but after death we can be glorious and lay out the flag——”
“Get the order!” “Get the order!” “Get the order!”
Even if the ghosts carrying the flag were just ordinary people in life, they responded to the orders loudly at this moment, and then returned to their respective positions.
A green light has spread from the distance, and you can even hear a painful wail and a roar full of hostility. The green light and sound have a clear target, which is coming to a place where there are living people.
“Hoo…ho uh…” “Uh ah ho…”
“Woo woo… woo…”
Outside Maotan Village, looking for the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuａan.com, a group of ghost soldiers from the cemetery lined up in formation, and the leading soldier roared.
“Fire the arrow!”
The arrows in the hands of the curved bow ghost soldiers flashed with light, and the next moment.
Swish, swish, swish…
Dozens of arrows flew towards the distance. The ghost soldiers did not need to deliberately aim, the arrows themselves shot towards the plague ghost.
About dozens of breaths later, an even louder roar sounded outside the village.
“Kill!” “Kill!”
“Come on!”
……
In Maotan Village, whether it was Liao Daqiu, the old village chief, or many ordinary villagers, they all heard the tragic sound of fighting in their sleep. The sound resounded throughout the village and outside, as if the whole village was It’s like sleeping on the battlefield.
Some people were awakened by this nightmare, but after waking up, it was not as exaggerated as in the dream, but they could still vaguely hear the sound of fighting…
In the northwest sky, a cloud flew with a conspicuous Dharma light in the night, and the halo illuminated the surrounding areas in a dazzling way.
Ji Yuan and Chang Yi deliberately revealed the light of Dharma in order to tell the demons they might encounter that our presence here is regarded as a way of alerting the snakes. Whether they are driven out or driven away, in short, we do not want the demons to stay in the world. .
“Huh?”
Ji Yuanfa glanced at it, as if he saw the rising and suppressing life force in the distance. This is what the so-called life force is, and Chang Yi obviously saw something.
“Mr. Ji, it seems that the situation is indeed different.”
“Let’s go!”
The clouds beneath him flashed with brilliance, and his flying speed immediately increased, heading into the distance.
