Chapter 187 Five Arts

The so-called five arts are mountain, medicine, physiognomy, divination, and fate. You must have some knowledge of all five arts. Mountain arts mainly include cultivation, health preservation, boxing, and spells; medical arts are the set of traditional Chinese medicine, we don't need to go into details, and physiognomy includes people, houses, and tombs; divination is fortune-telling, Liuren and other folk arts to exorcise evil spirits; as for fate, it is the fortune teller who deduces fate.

I am mainly good at physiognomy, as for fate, I have some knowledge. Although I don't understand medical skills, I also understand the effects of the human body's yang and yin points and other acupoints around the body. Based on these two points, I concluded that the child who was less than 100 days old was not dead!

"What are you doing? Why don't you talk? Did you find a treasure?" Wu Yu said again.

At this time, the silver needle had been inserted into the baby's crown to seal the seven souls. Wu Yu asked me a few more questions, but I still didn't say anything. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the woods, and I found two boys hiding behind the sixth tree in front of the left.

Wu Yu said with concern: "How can there be children in such a remote place? Where are your family members?"

Seeing that she was about to enter the poplar forest, and my hands were still in the critical period of acupuncture, I could only persuade her: "Don't come in, it's haunted."

"Haunted!" She laughed so hard that she almost fainted and said: "Don't make fun of me. It's noon, haunted? I think you're a big-headed ghost!" After that, she really stepped into the woods.

In an instant, Wu Yu began to talk to herself. She said to the air, "Little friend, where is your home? There are no houses around. I'm lost." She was haunted by a ghost. The two little ghosts were just controlling everything behind the tree. If I guessed correctly, it was 12 o'clock noon, the gap between yin and yang. The person who threw the swaddling clothes obviously knew that it would be very evil here at 12 o'clock. Sui Yishui also followed Wu Yu and said to the air, "Can you take us to find your parents? We have finished drinking all the water." Since I was saving people, I didn't care about them. I just let the two talk to the little ghosts, peeled off the baby's swaddling clothes, and after the silver needles sealed the seven souls, I started to grab soil from the ground to wipe his body. This is called "washing away the evil", because soil can bury people. I use soil to clean his body and wipe off some unnecessary evil. Then I drew a spell on his chest and pierced the tip of my fingernail to help him to cross the Yang. The principle is just like when your car battery is dead, you ask someone to use an electric clamp to connect it for you and light it on fire. When the blood dripped on the child's heart, I saw his face gradually turn red from the initial blue. I finally pulled this person back from the gate of hell, but the child's soul should have been captured by the little ghost.

After a long sigh, I stood up and saw Wu Yu and Sui Yishui actually walked to a big tree in the poplar forest. I followed them and heard Sui Yishui say, "This is your home. It looks good. Why don't I see your parents? Do you have any water? Give me some water."

I stood behind them, staring at the little ghost in front of them, who was about one meter tall and had a dark blue face. They suddenly stopped moving. Wu Yu said, "Two little brothers, what are you looking at? Why don't you say anything?" Then she turned her head and pointed at me and said, "He is just a little ugly, but he is also a good person. You don't have to be afraid. Tell me if you have anything to say."

But I pinched my thunder finger, stared at the two little ghosts with sideways eyes, and said sternly, "You dare to act rashly when you see my master here? Tell me! Why are you hurting people?"

"What are you talking about? Are you sick?" Wu Yu glared at me with disgust : "You are really crazy. It's broad daylight. Have you watched too many movies?"

I snorted coldly and continued: "You two little ghosts are born of resentment and the evil spirits of dead babies, but I know you can understand what I say. I will give you one last chance. Surrender or be annihilated!"

Even Sui Yishui asked me if I was sick. What kind of drama was I playing with two children? It was normal for them not to understand. These two ghosts were cursed by people who died unjustly. Besides, the poplar trees blocked the light, making the resentment here soar. I just took a rough look and found at least four or five cloth swaddling clothes. As for the invisible ones, I don't know how many there are. Every time a new baby dies here, a new curse will be generated. The more resentment accumulates, the more it makes this place a dangerous place. Finally, when two **-year-old children died, all the resentment entered the spirit, and this dangerous place became a climate.

The two ghosts, one in black and the other in red, stared at me for a long time with hatred. Suddenly, they flew up and opened their mouths to bite me.

This scene scared Sui Yishui and Wu Yu. They screamed and ran back. They fell to the ground because of their unstable feet. I immediately hit the black ghost with my thunder finger, and the green light flashed, knocking down the black ghost. When the other red ghost flew towards me, I immediately stepped back a few steps, bent over to untie the green bag, took out the five grains, and sprinkled them forward, hitting the red ghost back repeatedly.

I quickly took out the Seven Star Sword, used my hand as a pen, and quickly drew three talismans. With my current understanding and comprehension of talismans, I didn't need to see the blood of the sun to bless the ghost in front of me.

The three talismans were soul-beating, soul-scattering, and soul-enticing. So when I waved the Seven Star Sword, the red ghost was directly beheaded by me, and then a stream of green smoke went into the poplar tree and disappeared.

Wu Yu and Sui Yishui were already scared out of their wits, especially Wu Yu, who was known for his courage, who even screamed out in a dolphin sound with an extremely sharp voice.

After I put away my weapons, I said to them, "Stop screaming, it's okay."

"Ghost, there really is a ghost, I saw a ghost in broad daylight." Wu Yu was so scared that he cried, and Sui Yishui was also pale and silent.

I walked towards the poplar tree and said, "I beat the ghost away, why are you still crying?"

Wu Yu wiped her tears, sobbed a few times and asked me, "What do you do?"

"A Taoist priest." I scratched the bark with my fingers. The healthy poplar tree actually had dead bark. When I peeled it off, I saw two facial patterns that seemed to be painted on. Although it was very abstract, it was not difficult to see the nose and eyes. I used the Seven Star Sword to draw a seven-star formation around the tree. The traditional seven-star formation would not harm ghosts, but what I did was to arrange the stars with seven nails, turning it into a nail head seven-star formation.

"Have you finished crying? If you're done, come and work. Dig down along the tree and ask what you want to know while digging." I said. Sui Yishui had dodged lightning strikes since childhood, and he had seen many storms, so he quickly regained his composure. I asked him to dig along the tree, including Wu Yu, who had to work with me. Although she was beautiful, beauty was not a meal, and she couldn't be idle when she was supposed to work.

While digging, Wu Yu asked me: "Well, is there really a ghost?"

"Do I need to explain? What did you just see? An unexpected abstract picture in the brain wave, or did you have hysteria?" I deliberately argued with her.

"Look at you, I just want to ask." Wu Yu said with a pale face: "I'm telling you, it's good for me to work for you. You led the way, so you have to be responsible. Do a ritual for me later to drive away the evil spirits. If I have any problems in the future, you have to be responsible!"

It's completely impossible to reason with women, especially beautiful women. There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but fortunately I realized it earlier, so I didn't argue with her.

The baby in the swaddling clothes was rescued by me. I can only say that the baby is not dead now, but it does not mean that he is fine. It is common to lose souls in rural areas. Some are affected by feng shui, some are affected by plants that have become spirits, some are scared, and some are taken away by ghosts. It is like some children who fall into a well or a pit and survive. They will say that they go to catch rabbits, crickets, and so on. Most of these are because the ghosts have taken a fancy to you and want you to accompany him. As for the child I rescued, you can tell from his eyebrows and forehead that the ghosts took him away because they liked the child.

Faced with these endless questions, I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Finally, Sui Yishui said: "This soil is so soft, there seems to be something underneath."

"Get out of the way, don't move." I hurriedly pulled Sui Yishui away. This kid is a bad luck god. The main function of the bad luck god is to do bad things, so I will never let him participate too much in anything.

The two of them stood outside the formation wisely. Then I peeled off the soil bit by bit, and gradually two rotten corpses appeared. Sui Yishui and Wu Yu tilted their heads and vomited non-stop.

When everything was revealed, there were two corpses in total, and when I saw the broken skulls of the corpses, I breathed a sigh of relief. This was murder. The **-year-old child had his skull smashed alive with a heavy hammer. In order to cover up his evil deeds, the murderer buried the innocent life under this poplar tree.

So I said to the two of them: "It is estimated that they will not be able to leave in a short time. Call the police. This is murder." Then, I found two caterpillars in the middle of the corpses that were as big as a baby's arm. It attracted my attention. Looking carefully at the bulging body of the caterpillar, I understood that the resentment and curse here were all gathered on these two insects.
