Chapter 1713 Esoteric Buddhism (Dragon Boat Festival Good Luck!)
After hearing the effect of the paper figures, everyone couldn’t help but be surprised, “When Mahakala comes, will the color of the paper figures become lighter?”
< br>“ Yes!" Old Man Yao raised his hand and pointed back at the boy's paper head, "I also touched a little of my blood on the tip of the boy's eyebrows." "Bringing blood on the eyebrows?" A young man in the team frowned.
Old man Yao looked at the young man up and down in surprise. He had a bookish look on his face, like a teacher, "Young boy, you are young but you have a lot of experience. Yes, you have a bloody eyebrow. This is an old method passed down by my ancestors, which is said to be able to imbue boys and girls with spirits.”
According to Old Man Yao's explanation, the paper man with eyebrow blood also has some aura of a living person. When Mahakala comes, the color of the paper man will be taken away, which is equivalent to finding a substitute for a living person.
"Is there any pattern in the coming of the Great Black Sky? What's the time?" This point is very important. Old man Yao's previous words were like a hammer and a stick. Jiang Cheng wanted to confirm this.
“The rules.” Old man Yao shook his head without thinking, “There are no rules. If our village had really existed, so many people would not have died. But Mahakala doesn’t come often, maybe. There are fewer and fewer people in the village, and Mahakala appears more and more frequently. "Young master, I haven't seen him for ten months recently."
The fat man opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words in his mouth. He wanted to warn the old man not to be too harsh tonight. He might be able to see Mahakala, after all, they are here.
"But there is an appointment with time. Except for the second time to take away the man, Mahakala only appeared after midnight." Old man Yao said confidently.
Speaking of the time, old man Yao slapped his forehead suddenly, and then stood up, "Oh, my memory is bad, I have to leave, and the sky is getting dark from now on."
"Let's go?" The old man followed closely He stood up and said, "Brother Yao, where are you going?"
"There are too many people here, and the goal is too obvious. I will take my mother-in-law back to the old house to live, and we will make another pair when we go back. ”
< br>After saying that, Old Man Yao left the room and stood in the yard, pointing with his hand towards the back of the house, "That's it, that's my old house. I'm going back first. By the way, the night in the mountains is not as crowded as outside, with more wild beasts and poisonous insects. You just Stay in the house honestly and don't go out. There is food in the pot. You are a guest, so don't be polite."
After saying that, old man Yao didn't care about everyone's attempts to stay, and hurriedly moved toward the old man. Rush to the house.
Normally, Jiang Cheng would keep the old couple anyway, but now that you are here, since he said the old couple is fine, then it must be fine, not to mention there are four strong reinforcements including the old man.
However, we still need to be cautious. A few people from Jiangcheng walked around the entire yard and found four dead roe deer in the woodshed behind the house. The roe deer had their heads cut off and their blood was bled. Then tie them up with ropes and hang them from the rafters.
Only the upper body of one of the roe deers was left, and all the internal organs had been removed. In order to prevent corrosion, a thick layer of salt was applied to the body.
Then I went to the kitchen in search of the aroma of meat. There was a dark pot, the firewood was still crackling underneath, and bursts of meat aroma emerged from the cracks along the edge of the pot.
Lift the lid of the pot, and there are four roe deer heads stewed inside. Now the stew is just right, the meat is fragrant, the bones and flesh are separated, and the thick soup that keeps gushing constantly challenges the taste buds of everyone present.
"It smells so good. What seasoning did the old lady use to make it so fragrant?" The fat man couldn't help but swallow. This was a completely subconscious behavior.
Seeing this scene, the old man put the lid back on the pot again and said warily: "Little friend Jiang, brothers, this is obviously another mission world. If you are not familiar with the place, I suggest you proceed with caution. We will bring you this time. Enough dry food has arrived, and there is still some water left. As long as everyone can use it sparingly. , it shouldn’t be a problem to persist until the situation is broken and leave.”
Soon after, Tang Qisheng, who was inspecting a pair of paper figures, also came back, and the bookish young man who had spoken before followed them, “There is nothing wrong with the paper figures. Just like what old man Yao said." Tang Qisheng explained to Jiang Cheng.
Go back to the room at the beginning. This room is also the largest. There is a hall at the entrance, with a bedroom on the left and right. Although the layout is simple, it is relatively clean.
Li Bai Yao and Shunyu, who were unconscious at the moment, were placed in the bedroom on the right, and Zhu Jie had been taking care of them.
A man in camouflage uniform took off his coat and tied it skillfully around his waist, revealing the light blue ribbon wrapped around his left arm.
“What is this?” Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"Young friend Jiang, this is specially prepared for this operation," the old man said, taking off his coat and there was also a light blue ribbon on his arm. "This ribbon is specially made, and the material is very special. And there are different numbers on the ribbons. Everyone’s numbers are different. Use To distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
Jiang Cheng came closer to look at the old man's ribbon, and sure enough he saw a row of numbers on the edge of the ribbon. The old man's number was 009. It seemed to be ranked very high, and the ribbon felt really good. Especially, at least Jiang Cheng has never been exposed to this kind of thing.
"Lin Waner's number is 001?" Jiang Cheng put down the ribbon and asked.
Unexpectedly, the old man slowly shook his head, "Her number is 003. Commissioner Lin is indeed credited with turning the tide, but she is only the nominal commander-in-chief of this operation. There are more important people above her to coordinate the overall situation." Action, after all, wants to integrate the major families, the dark army, the civilians, especially the commanding army Commissioner Lin’s qualifications and background alone are not enough for Fang’s secret force.”
The old man’s words were sincere, and Jiang Cheng also roughly understood the complexity of this team, but what was before them now. The trouble is the so-called Mahakala, which they have almost no idea what it is.
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming depressing, Tang Qisheng finally spoke after hesitation, "I have heard of the name Mahakala, but... it seems different from the one in this mission."
< br>"The Mahakala that I understand is the protector god in Buddhist Tantric Buddhism. He has the supreme power to ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters and solve problems, especially It is about subduing demons and slaying demons. Mahakala never transforms, let alone asks about cause and effect. Once he casts his hand, hundreds of miles of red earth will be destroyed, and thousands of ghosts will cry. There is no chance of reincarnation, so all kinds of demons and ghosts are afraid of him. "
Hearing what Tang Qisheng said, Fatty couldn't help but be surprised. Mahakala's cruel methods were very different from his impression of Buddhism, which encouraged people to do good.
After a pause, Tang Qisheng carefully glanced out the window and lowered his voice, "It is rumored that Mahakala kills demons in every possible way, and even intentionally drives living people to places where evil spirits are haunted, just waiting for the evil spirits. If you are a cannibal, then Mahakala will take action and kill all the evil spirits within a hundred miles!" (End of Chapter)
