C6 opening of altar

When my father heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he picked up the alcohol and drank it in one gulp, then said to Old man Tao: pottery master, back then I was insensible, I had eyes that did not recognize the gold and jade, and even scolded you, my eyes were blind. As long as you can save my child, don't even mention being his master, you can even treat him as your father.

As my father said this, my father stood up, wanting to kneel down before Old man Tao. My mother also stood up, holding my father's hand, begging Old man Tao to forgive her. Even my elder sister, who was a few years older than me, tugged at Old man Tao's clothes, begging softly, "pottery master, please save my brother."

Seeing that my family was in such a state, Old man Tao put down her chopsticks and supported my father. She stroked my sister's head and looked at me, who was at the side, and said, "We definitely have to save her. Let us not talk about other things first and let our child pass through this stage first."

After saying that, Old man Tao pulled my parents over and sat down. My parents also continuously poured wine and food for Old man Tao, and while Old man Tao was eating, he told my parents about his recent arrangements.

After Old man Tao ate his fill, he immediately wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve and said: "Alright, since we've already eaten, it's better to hurry than to rush it. I'll settle this matter for Qing Waer tonight."

With that, the Old man Tao stood up and rubbed my head before continuing, "Later on, you all will boil two buckets of water. I will go up the mountain to look for some medicinal ingredients."

When my parents heard that he was going up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs, they didn't say that it was necessary. There were some medicinal herbs in the house, and if it wasn't enough, they could immediately go to the village hospital to buy some.

The Old man Tao merely chuckled twice, mysterious said, this medicine can indeed be bought anywhere, but for the person who picked up the medicine and the time used to make the medicine, both of us are very particular about it in our industry, otherwise the Five Techniques of Mystical Arts would not specially produce a "Doctor" branch, it would not be possible for ordinary places to buy it.

After saying that, the Old man Tao took the bag and walked out. My parents didn't dare to be slow and quickly cleaned up the dishes and went to boil some water.

Old man Tao had been gone for a few hours, and when he came back, it was already around 9. When he entered, he was carrying a lot of herbs, and in addition, he was holding two paper man s, one black and one white.

"pottery master, you're finally back. Quickly eat some dinner." My parents hurriedly greeted.

"I'm not eating anymore. It's almost time, we can't delay any further. Is the water ready?" Old man Tao put down the herbs and wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked.

"It's done. It's been heating up in the pot all this time." "No," my mother replied.

"Alright, I'll take a bath first. You guys take a bath and soak these herbs in the barrel. Then, let Qing Waer go in and take a bath, and put these in together with you."

Old man Tao said, as he took out a porcelain bottle from his bag and gave it to my mother, "Pour three pills inside, no more, and no less."

After Old man Tao finished speaking, he asked my father to pour some water and then went in to take a bath.

My family only has a wooden bucket and it's given to Old man Tao. Luckily, almost every family in the countryside has a bucket, and my father went out to borrow one from a neighbor.

Old man Tao had finished washing his clothes and had actually put on a green robe and a mixed origin handkerchief. Under the moonlight, his entire person actually had a bit of a burning glow.

"Bring the table here. I want to open the altar."

With a shake of his hands, he placed them neatly on the table. Then, he pulled out a stack of talisman paper, an incense burner, three sticks of incense, an inkstone with cinnabar inside, a stack of paper money, a bell, a bamboo tube with water inside, and a small wooden sword.

After placing these items on the table, Old man Tao placed the two paper man s on the left side of the altar. After pasting a piece of talisman paper on the backs of the two paper man s, he softly chanted an incantation.

Suddenly, the two paper man seemed to have a strange aura about them.

After that, Old man Tao sprinkled a small circle in front of the altar with lime. No one knew what it was used for.

After the Old man Tao was done, he raised his head to look at the moon. He then pinched his fingers for a while and muttered to himself, "Un, there's still a bit more time."

Then he called my sister and my mother back into the house. He was not allowed to come out until he cried out, so as not to run into my belongings.

My sister and mother went back to the back of the house, leaving me, my father, and Old man Tao alone in the courtyard.

"Old Liu, do you see these two paper man? You stand by these two paper man's side, I'll call for you to light them up later, you will immediately burn these two paper man, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood."

My dad quickly agreed.

I stood at the side and didn't have anything to do, so I walked over to look at the two paper man. The white paper man had a white hat on its head, with the caption "Laughing whenever you see me" and the black paper man had a hat as well, with the caption "The world is at peace" written on it.

"What is this?" I didn't know about this then, so I asked Old man Tao.

"What the heck is this?" The Old man Tao snorted twice and said, "These are the Black and White Impermanence, they came here specifically to restrain the spirits of the human realm. Look, they're here, arowu!"

Although the Black and White Impermanence were made of paper, their red tongues, terrifying eyes, and the fact that the Old man Tao did something unknown just now made them look a little more real. After being frightened by the Old man Tao, I retreated a few steps, and started shouting in fear.

Old man Tao said nothing, and then he ignored me. He stood in front of the altar, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Since Old man Tao didn't say anything, naturally, my father and I didn't dare to speak either. In an instant, the courtyard became extremely quiet, and the entire village was completely silent. Even the dogs seemed to have fallen deeply asleep.

After about half an hour, it should be around 11 PM. I am a little sleepy, leaning against my father's side, feeling drowsy.

"It's almost time, Qing Waer, go sit in front."

Old man Tao suddenly opened his mouth and pointed at the circle surrounded by limestone.

I looked at my father and my father nodded, saying that he would listen to the pottery master and sit over there.

The summer night in the mountains was still a bit cold, so I didn't wear much. After sitting down, I felt a wave of coldness attack me.

"Qing Waer, you have to remember, no matter what you hear later, do not open your eyes, do not leave this circle, and there is still Old Liu. If you see anything later, do not panic, and pretend like nothing happened.

"Understood."

"Got it."

my father and I said at the same time.

"Alright!"
