Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 383: Mechanical Techniques, Eliminating Demons and Defending the Way

As the eight paper figures and I stared at each other, the door of the Wong Tai Sin Temple opened automatically without any wind.

crunch.

The door made a teeth-grinding sound again.

Slowly closing.

Boss Dong stood outside the door, stamping his feet anxiously.

Yelled at me, "Come out!"

"There must be a ghost in there! Come out quickly!"

Bang!

The door was tightly closed.

Completely separate me from Boss Dong.

Even his voice could not be heard.

It seemed that the moment the door closed, Wong Tai Sin Temple became a completely isolated world.

"whee."

The paper man stared at me from top to bottom.

This action is so human!

I also stared at the paper figure closest to me.

I want to see if there are any mechanisms or something on them.

Because I think such a human-like looking action can only be done by human control.

"You're quite courageous."

Clear, shrill voices came from all directions.

It sounded like a child's voice.

I can be sure that when I heard the voices, the paper man's mouth didn't move at all.

Moreover, the paper man's mouth is drawn on, so it is impossible for it to move.

This means that the voice did not come from the paper man!

Someone else is talking!

I moved my eyes and looked around.

Directly in front of us is the gate of Wong Tai Sin Temple which has just been closed.

To the rear is the front hall.

There are trees and walls on both sides.

There was no one in sight except me.

perhaps.

The person speaking is hiding behind a tree?

I shouted loudly: "Come out, stop pretending to be a ghost!"

"These mechanical paper figures can't scare me!"

You know what, after I shouted that, there was actually some movement.

There was a rustling sound from the bushes on the left, and then a young boy came out.

The boy brushed away the leaves and weeds above his head.

She walked towards me with her head held high and her hair in buns on both sides revealed.

He has a round face with a red dot between his eyebrows.

Wearing a bright red children's bellyband, revealing his chubby white arms.

At first glance, I thought it was Nezha appearing in the world.

He walked over and stood in front of me.

He raised his head and said proudly, "Are you Chen Shitou?"

I lowered my head and looked him in the eye.

I thought the one who was causing trouble must be the little guy in front of me.

But he is only about ten years old, how could he make such a big fuss?

Could he be a genius?

I whispered softly, "What's your name, little one?"

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and turned his head away.

With his arms folded in front of him, he said impatiently, "My name is Yubao, and I'm very capable!"

"If you keep treating me like a child, don't blame me for not helping you with your spirit possession!"

"Ah?!" I was really surprised.

Could it be that the one who helps me to summon spirits and ask questions is this little brat in front of me?

Can a child of this age have the ability to summon spirits?

My surprise made Yubao even more dissatisfied.

"Ah for what?"

"Don't you believe I can possess spirits?"

"I was born a medium. I can summon spirits to possess me without any rituals!"

The core of spirit possession lies in the medium.

Because ghosts and gods are all attached to the medium.

If there is no medium, the spirit medium cannot be carried out.

And the medium is not restricted by age.

It doesn’t mean that if there is the word “童” in the name, it must be a child.

A medium who is in his seventies or eighties is still called a medium.

The medium was originally passed down from generation to generation, which is similar to the spirit medium in the north.

Later, various methods were derived, such as guidance and selection, self-realization and awakening, etc.

However, Taoism's "Taishang Tiantan Yuge" clearly states: All the supreme celestial beings and gods will not possess the bodies of living people. If they possess the words of people, they are definitely evil demons.

This means that real gods will not easily possess mortals.

Anyone who casually invites gods to possess him is definitely an evildoer.

In fact, neither orthodox Buddhism nor Taoism recognizes the existence of mediums.

At that time, I didn't understand the details of the spirit possession.

So he asked in surprise: "The dead soul is an evil thing. Will it affect your body?"

Yubao shook his head vigorously.

"Master said that I have a pure Yang body and am not afraid of external evil."

"Besides, Master also taught me how to practice Qi, so I can use Qi to cultivate myself."

As he spoke, Yubao pointed at my dantian with his finger.

"There's something wrong with you."

"I can feel a strong evil aura."

hiss!

I gasped.

I didn’t expect that this little brat Yubao could see the problem with my Dantian.

This Wong Tai Sin Temple is really something!

"Oh, it's almost time."

"Let's go to the main hall quickly, or Master will punish me by making me kneel down and burn incense!"

"Hey, and don't tell Master that I scared you with a paper doll."

Before he could finish his words, Yubao hurried back into the bushes.

I don't know what he fiddled with.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the torches in the hands of the eight paper figures were extinguished at the same time.

The paper man's head also turned 180 degrees and returned to normal.

Snapped!

With a slight noise, eight paper figures fell to the ground.

Only then did I vaguely see it.

There seemed to be mechanisms where the eight paper figures stood.

Tapping.

Yubao trotted over and grabbed my arm.

"Don't look at it. It's just a little trick to scare people."

"Master usually doesn't let me play with these."

"Where did you learn this mechanical art? Can you teach me?" I was very excited to see the prey.

The mechanism looks very clever.

If you learn it, you never know when it will come in handy.

"I learned it from Master He."

"He used to make props for a theatre troupe, so he knows a lot about mechanical tricks."

"He also taught me the ghost steps and the teeth tricks."

"Look, let me show you..."

Yubao lowered his head.

He took something out of his pocket with his right hand and put it in his mouth.

When I bent down to take a closer look at what he had stuffed in his mouth, he suddenly raised his head and rushed towards me.

"Wow!"

The ghost screamed and spewed out six fangs from its mouth.

The fangs are two large and four small.

Two large fangs protruded from his upper lip.

The curved tip points toward the sky.

Four other small fangs protruded from the lower lip, all pointed towards the ground.

This sudden change gave me a little shock.

I couldn't help but take a half step back reflexively.

"Wow!"

Yubao shook his head.

The fangs in his mouth kept shrinking and changing.

After performing twice, he took out the fangs from his mouth and waved them at me.

"You must have been scared just now."

"Master He said this is a skill for the stage."

I really didn't expect that there was such a skill in the opera troupe.

I used to think that opera singers just had better voices.

The martial artist only needs to learn some fancy spear moves and some somersaults.

Who would have thought there was such a trick as playing with teeth?

"What is the ghost step?"

Yubao tilted his head and said, "It's the ghost step. It's as silent as floating, and it can move very fast."

"When I first learned the ghost steps, I scared several of my senior brothers."

"In the end, my master punished me by making me kneel for three incense sticks."

"Hey, why am I telling you this? Come with me to the main hall."

"Finish early so you can go to bed."

Yubao took me around the front hall and straight to the main hall.

The hall was brightly lit, but there was not a single person in sight.

Yubao pushed open the door and gestured to me, "Please!"

As I was about to step over the threshold of the hall, I asked casually, "Your master..."

Before I could finish my question, Yubao suddenly pushed me hard on the back.

Caught off guard, I lost my balance.

He staggered into the hall.

Bang!

Crash!

The palace door was closed from the outside and locked.

Then I heard Yubao shouting at the top of his lungs: "Master!"

"I tricked Chen Shitou into the main hall!"

"Come and exorcise the demons and defend the Dao, suppress Chen Shitou!"
