Wei Yuan had another dream.
It was an antique wooden building, three stories high, with red silk wrapped around it, shaking in the wind.
It was surrounded by wisps of white mist, and the sound of water came from the mist.
The sound of singing could also be heard in the water.
It seemed to come from the water, and it was the singing of the female flower across the water.
Wei Yuan had no self-awareness, and walked forward step by step until he came to a courtyard. The courtyard was narrow and cramped, with tall wooden buildings around it. Strings of white silk were hung on the raised eaves, and below it was an old crooked locust tree, and under the locust tree was a square well.
There was a sound of water in the well, like running water.
A woman was sitting by the well, with her head down, her black hair hanging down, and her face could not be seen clearly.
Wei Yuan took a blank step, approaching step by step, but this time he only took a few steps, and the expression on his face began to fluctuate, showing a struggling expression, and then in the midst of a sudden tiger roar, he suddenly opened his eyes in his dream and saw the woman with long hair hanging down, and the pair of red embroidered shoes with gold embroidery that were so familiar that he could not forget.
The next moment, the dream was broken.
In the real world, Wei Yuan opened his eyes, and a blue-gold light disappeared in his eyes.
He looked at the ceiling and did not speak for a long time.
Just now, the forgotten dream last night was gradually recalled.
Moreover, now he can clearly distinguish that in yesterday's dream, when he walked into the courtyard, the well and the woman by the well were about five meters away from him, but in the dream just now, they were only four meters away, and they were gradually approaching.
As for the meaning of this gradually shortening distance, Wei Yuan did not know.
But it was obviously not a good thing.
"...I'm entangled."
He sighed and rubbed the Crouching Tiger waist badge.
The Crouching Tiger waist badge can react in dreams, but it can't directly take down the evil spirit. Is it because it is not a defensive treasure, or is it because too much time has passed and its ability has been greatly reduced?
It was pitch black outside, and Wei Yuan took out his mobile phone and turned it on to check the time.
Three thirty, about the same time as when I woke up yesterday, at the time of Yin, I don't know when I fell asleep. If I remember correctly, it was the Crouching Tiger waist badge that reacted, repelled the evil spirit, and prevented the wandering soul in the museum from turning into an evil spirit, and gained merit, and then transformed it into a method that the Crouching Tiger Captain must master.
After that, I fell into a deep sleep.
Wei Yuan clenched his fist, but didn't find anything different.
Thinking about it, according to the words on the paper, he clasped the waist badge with his right hand and closed his eyes to meditate.
Slowly, he could vaguely feel that there was an extra talisman on his right palm, but when he opened his eyes and flashed the light of his mobile phone, he saw nothing. He also felt nothing when he touched it with his hand. It was obviously a magic similar to the soul.
There was a text on the white paper recording this magic.
[Exorcism]
In ancient times, there was Nuo magic, called exorcism. Twelve people formed a formation, painted their skin with red paint, held several feet long hemp whips, danced and chanted the name of the gods.
There was a book called "Jie" in the pre-Qin period.
Jie means that ghosts harm people and do things recklessly, which is a bad omen for the people. Tell them to be exorcised, summon them, and guide the people to avoid disasters.
It means that ghosts are unknown. The Qin Dynasty compiled a teaching material on exorcism and informed the public to prevent the people from being harmed.
The Han Dynasty also said that "the witch is in charge of exorcism and exorcism at the end of the year."
This is a method passed down from ancient times.
However, the exorcism magic that the Crouching Tiger Captain must master is not just to simply expel the wandering souls that refuse to leave. Exorcism, expulsion, is also to drive. This magic also has the use of driving methods, which can use certain abilities of the soul.
Ghosts and monsters, strange powers and chaos have their own characteristics.
No matter how strong the Crouching Tiger Captain is, it is impossible to be all-round. Relying on driving different ghosts, it can play a lot of auxiliary roles in catching demons and monsters. In later generations, these ghosts that have been driven and made contributions are often sacrificed and become the ghost soldiers and ghosts of the city god.
And in the two thousand years after the Han Dynasty, most of the exorcism and god-calling methods of various schools and sects were derived from this.
Wei Yuan's fingers groped the Crouching Tiger waist badge, thinking.
If in other places, to drive ghosts, you need to find Yin objects first, and then use them to subdue ghosts, and then you can use them. Now there are five Yin objects in this museum. If you can successfully persuade them to accept driving, at least you will have more confidence when facing the evil spirits that seem to be entangled with him.
He thought of the water ghost who was directly knocked over, and silently added another sentence.
Probably...
In any case, being able to open the Yin-Yang eyes and master the magical powers that only exist in stories still makes Wei Yuan feel more relaxed. It seems that when the ghost-driving talisman was branded, some strange changes have also occurred in the body. Although he only slept for two hours, Wei Yuan did not feel tired.
He moved his shoulders and prepared to get out of bed to find those ghosts.
Then Wei Yuan paused and his eyes froze.
A pair of gold-painted red embroidered shoes were quietly placed on the ground.
The toe of the shoe was facing his bed.
The distance was about four meters.
It was dark outside the window, and there was no sound around.
It was as if he was the only one in the world.
After a long silence, Wei Yuan sighed slightly.
He got out of bed and walked over.
Then.
He kicked the red embroidered shoes away.
............
A dark car was speeding on the highway.
In the front seat were two muscular young men.
In the back seat was a young woman with neat short hair, a suit, and black high heels. She held a lady's cigarette in one hand and typed on the keyboard with the other hand. She frowned slightly and looked at the things on the computer. Seeing the rising curve, she felt that her blood pressure was also rising.
In recent years, the concentration of spiritual energy has been increasing.
The frequency of some things happening is also increasing.
On the blue planet, China, Fog City, Sakurajima, Celtic.
These countries are different from another country with a short history. Whether they discovered and solved it locally or were once dependent on the sovereign country, there are many ways to solve the evil spirits in history, especially in China. At the beginning of the recovery of spiritual energy, most of the evil spirits were forcibly suppressed and did not interfere with the normal life of ordinary people.
On the vast land of China, Buddhist and Taoist disciples were directly mobilized, and the insignificant demons were directly suppressed by iron fists as soon as they appeared.
But now, some of them can't be suppressed.
The concentration of spiritual energy increased too quickly, almost suddenly at a node.
And the number is too much.
Taoist and Buddhist disciples who have some Taoism have all been drawn out to form two types of special personnel.
One type is members who study and popularize spiritual practice.
The other type is responsible for going out to exorcise demons.
The latter are all in this car, belonging to the lineage of the Taoist Shangqing Weiming Sect.
"There's a case in Quan City, it might be done by demons."
The woman pulled up the map and said concisely:
"Let's go to Quan City and solve these things."
The man driving frowned:
"Captain, we still have a mission."
"There's still some time before the gathering, let's solve the case in Quan City first."
"But..."
"No buts."
The lady's cigarette in the woman's hand disappeared silently, she rubbed her eyebrows and said:
"Before the spiritual practice failed to meet the safety standards of China and large-scale popular education was carried out, ordinary people did not have much resistance to such demons, and only we could fight them."
"If we don't do it, who will do it?"
Her voice paused, and said:
"After all, we are different from them."
The two men stopped talking.
A sense of responsibility mixed with protecting the weak and a sense of looking down on the strong emerged.
Yes, they are different.
Unlike mortals, they are practitioners.
If they don't do it, who else can deal with these demons?
The man nodded, turned the steering wheel, and the black car turned down and entered the area of Quan City.
