What to start?

Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly, someone pointed his finger at the dark river and shouted: "Look, there are lights on the river. It seems like a ship is coming through the waves."

Hearing this, Jin An turned around and looked.

He looked surprised.

Sure enough, there was a faint light of fire swaying on the dark river surface at night. In the roaring and rushing river water, it was going upstream from the direction of Fucheng, and was getting closer and closer to Longwangtai.

As the fire came closer, Jin An could see it clearly.

That torch was not a ship, but a simple raft.

On the raft there is a stone coffin, a chicken bone lantern, an altar table, the altar is filled with incense burners, candles, incense, etc. used for performing rituals, and the mast is hung with seventy-two colored prayer flags.

.

Those prayer flags were filled with Taoist scriptures written in cinnabar. Because the distance was too far, it was impossible to see clearly what scriptures were written. They should be Taoist scriptures about suppression or exorcism.

And sitting on the Hanjiang stone coffin was a Taoist priest.

Unfortunately, due to the long distance, the fact that the man wore a mask and his identity was mysterious, no one knew this mysterious Taoist priest.

Everyone's eyes looked deep in thought.

It seems that in addition to inviting these folk exorcists, the government office also has its own cards and other plans.

Some secrets were not told to them truthfully.

I just don’t know where Fu Yin and Du Wei invited this mysterious master, who can swim upstream in the rolling cold river. Could it be that he was a master of Yujing Golden Tower specially invited from the capital?

The governor of Wuzhou Prefecture seems to be not simple either.

Unexpectedly, even the masters from Yujing Golden Tower in the capital were able to be hired.

"Little brother, it seems that this Taoist master is still a relative of us. Hey, he is our master who teaches Tianshi Tao." The old Taoist priest secretly said to Jin An.

Jin An nodded silently.

The Zhengyi Tao can also be called the Tao of Heavenly Masters, which mainly involves drawing talismans and reciting incantations, killing demons and eliminating demons, exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings, and warding off disasters.

Like the Five Zang Taoist Temple, the old Taoist priests, and the mysterious Taoist masters who came to drive away the small drought demons on the river in front of them were all in the same line.

That is, people who follow the path of the Heavenly Master.

The most famous among the Tianshi Taoists is of course the Maoshan sect and Longhushan.

As for Quanzhen Taoism, if you concentrate on refining elixirs and cultivating knowledge, you will ascend to immortality in the daytime, and will not wander around the world, but only care about the secular world.

Taoism is already pure-hearted and rarely cultivates, and it is practiced in seclusion.

This whole truth is hidden deeper in the world.

"Do you all know why we have to choose to use the Drought Demon's ability in the middle of the night and on the water?" The captain looked at the approaching raft, clasped his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, his figure as straight as a sword thrust into the deep night sky.

Before everyone could say anything, the captain had already explained the reason to himself.

"Because the first vibrant sunrise in the sky and the golden light slowly rises from the water, our ancestors in ancient times once said, 'Spring River Water Warmth Duck Prophet'."

"And among the twelve hours, Zi hour is the most yin time of the day, but it is also the yin pole that generates yang, the first yang is born, Tai Chi generates two yang, the two yang embraces Tai Chi, Tai Chi generates all things, and brings vitality to all things.

time."

"Because this little Hanba has not yet matured and cannot come out during the day, so we can only use Xiaohanba's ability to cut off the flow of the Yinyi River at night when the sun sets and the moon rises. We must not only use Xiaohanba's ability, but also

Suppress the ability of the small drought demon to prevent it from triggering the Nine Heavens Fire and causing a wider drought."

"So this is why we specifically chose the right time and started from the water surface. The purpose is to not only use the ability of the small drought demon, but also suppress the scope of influence caused by the drought."

Regarding the birth of yin and yang in Zishi, Jin An had specifically consulted an old Taoist priest before.

The old Taoist priest's explanation is very easy to understand.

Why are people most hungry at midnight, that is, at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and always want to eat late night snacks? Or after staying up past 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, people become more energetic the longer they stay up? It's not because you feel more energetic,

It's because this point happens to be where the Yin and Yang are born, and the human body begins to give birth to its first ray of life.

On the dark and vast river surface, there is only a small flame.

The Taoist priest on the raft took action.

He jumped down from the stone coffin.

Then, he walked to the altar table, burned incense, recited incantations, and shook the soul-calling bell.

Finally he walked back to the stone coffin.

Then take off the four yellow talismans affixed to the gaps on all sides of the stone coffin.

The stone coffin looked very heavy, but with the palm of the Taoist priest's hand, the lid of the coffin opened, revealing the glutinous rice filled inside and a small black wooden coffin.

Glutinous rice is a yang-qi grain that nourishes the body and replenishes qi, and has the effect of warding off evil spirits and removing toxins.

But now, most of the coffin full of glutinous rice has turned black, and there is a strong smell of corpses, but you can't smell it from the Dragon King Terrace upwind.

As the miniature black wood coffin was opened, inside was a stillborn fetus with a large head that was half vermilion and half dark cyan.

The body was as dry as a dehydrated mummy.

The stillborn baby was very small, less than six months old. If it were over six months old, it would be a live baby in Liujia.

This ghost fetus is different from a normal fetus.

People often say that when you are pregnant with Liujia, Liujia is the yang god, and a fetus over six months old has a chance of survival even if it is born prematurely.

If the fetus is born prematurely before the age of six months, it will definitely be a stillborn baby that cannot be fed.

Those born before six months are either stillborn or ghost fetuses.

This evil fetus with a big head that is half red and half green is the Xiaohanba. Now, the big-headed Xiaohanba has a corpse-suppressing talisman on his forehead. He keeps his eyes closed and remains motionless.

Moreover, one of this little Hanba's arms is smaller, like a deformity caused by muscular atrophy or stunted development.

However, the people standing behind the wooden railings of the Dragon King Platform were too far away to see what was happening in front of them. They only saw the Taoist priest on the raft, making hand gestures with his fingers, and tapping his fingers together in the black wooden coffin.

Move and massage Xiaohanba's body to revitalize it.

Cadaver nerves are pushed.

The little Hanbao who had been keeping his eyes closed opened his mouth and exhaled a breath, trying to escape with the help of heaven and earth, but the Taoist leader was already prepared. A Five Emperors copper coin intercepted the breath, and then walked towards the chicken skin lantern on the bow of the ship again.

When the copper coins were put into the chicken skin lantern, a magical scene happened.

Two flames lit up in the chicken skin lantern.

A firelight belongs to the Taoist leader.

The other firelight belonged to the little drought demon.
