Chapter 44: Soul Binding Array
Li Yunfeng smiled: "This matter is a long story, ten years ago I passed by a small town, and I heard in the tavern in the town that a village was haunted, and I was surprised, so I claimed that Mr. Yin Yang had gone." As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I felt a strong evil aura enveloping the whole village, and as soon as I saw the location of the incident, I immediately guessed eight or nine times out of ten, which was also a coincidence, if I went ten days and half a month late, something really would happen.
The original layout of that place was a spirit-binding array, with hundreds of evil spirits underneath, sealed with seals, and guarded by a pair of stone lions buried on both sides; Coupled with the reason of the topography of the water, people with a little feng shui knowledge in the countryside know that the place is not suitable for breaking ground at all, and no one dares to break ground there, so it has been safe and sound for hundreds of years. Maybe it was later that the village was expanded, and it didn't hurt to break the ground when the house was built, and there was a seal below, but when the villagers dug the foundation, they happened to dig up the stone lions, and they all moved to the gate of the village committee, and by the way, the seal was also broken, and the tree next to it was also cut down, and a well was dug in the ground, and the waterway was also redirected; In this way, the Soul Binding Array was completely destroyed, and the evil spirits that had been crushed underground for hundreds of years were released.
With my ability at the time, I couldn't subdue them. In order to save the life of the people in that village and me, I can only look for the descendants of Mr. Yin and Yang who set up this array. In our line, each family has its own techniques and styles, I see that the layout of the formation is the Yin and Yang family, at least three hundred years of history, and the Yin and Yang family three hundred years ago in that generation of the most famous should belong to the Gao family, I vaguely remember that the place seems to be the location of the famous Gaojiazhuang, but time has passed, the original Gaojiazhuang has become Mengjiatun, almost all the people in the village are surnamed Meng, and there is no surname Gao. I found the local old man, and after several inquiries, I finally found Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao was in his sixties at that time, and he had retired from the town's health clinic for a few years, and I tried it a little and found that although he was born with yin and yang eyes, he had no cultivation at all. So I lied that my ancestor and his great-grandfather were family friends, and this time I asked him to come out of the mountain to help him because he was in trouble. Because we did have a few encounters with the Gao family in our previous life, I only said a few things, and he was convinced, he said that his great-ancestor was indeed Mr. Yin and Yang, but it was passed to his grandfather, and his grandfather saw that the ancestors of several generations were not allowed to die well because of Mr. Yin and Yang's business, so he burned the ancient books of his ancestors, and would rather disobey his ancestors than let his children and grandchildren practice this way again, so although he has Yin and Yang eyes, it is useless, but it has added a lot of trouble, but fortunately, he is a practitioner of medicine, accustomed to seeing life and death, and is not afraid of those ghosts and gods.
As for the hundreds of evil ghosts in Mengjiatun, he had never heard of it, he said that the situation was turbulent in those years, his grandfather's generation left his homeland early and was displaced, and his uncles and brothers in the family were scattered all over the place; His father left home when he was young, and he missed his homeland when he was old, so he took his father back to his roots twenty years ago, of course, when he came back, things were wrong, and Gaojiazhuang had already become Mengjiatun, and there was no place for the Gao family to stand again.
Later, after my repeated begging, I promised him to help him seal the dark eye that had plagued him for half his life, and he helped me find his grandfather's codex. Fortunately, the codex does record the past of the Gao family subduing the evil ghosts, but there are only a few sentences, which roughly means that the great ancestor subdued the evil ghosts and made the evil ghosts make an oath. I had no other choice but to believe it. According to the instructions on the codex, Mr. Gao lived in Mengjiatun, hoping that with his identity and longevity, he could temporarily suppress those evil ghosts, and then I set up a trapped spirit array in the courtyard of his house, and used a labyrinth-like formation to attract those evil ghosts there, so that they could not get around, so that they could not wander around and harm people, and those two crystal pixiu were the eyes of the array. According to my estimate, as long as the eye of the formation is not broken, there will be no problem in maintaining that array for another ten years, and then maybe a few of you will be together, and it will not be difficult for us to subdue those evil spirits. ”
Li Yunfeng said it lightly, but Sunshine had a different opinion. "Brother, I still feel suspicious, I carefully observed the pattern of the village, the new houses built in recent years have all extended to the west of the village, so why did the old Meng family go to the east of the village ten years ago to build a new house? And doesn't it mean that rural people are more superstitious about feng shui, since the evil place is so obvious, didn't people understand it at that time? I asked my second aunt, and she said that she had looked for her husband at that time, and the gentleman said that it was a treasure of feng shui, and Uncle Meng's family built a house there. I guess that Mr. Feng Shui must have deliberately asked them to break the spirit binding array, who would it be good to break the spirit binding array? Mr. Gao, of course! Don't forget that this place was originally the territory of the Gao family, and now that he is back, maybe he wants to snatch back the land of his ancestors; Since his ancestors had subdued the demons, why didn't he destroy them, but just suppress them, could he have made some kind of pact with the demons to make them work for him? The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible.
Li Yunfeng looked at her and smiled, "You think a lot, but this is a typical conspiracy theory." In our profession, there are many reasons why we don't kill all the evil spirits, or our own cultivation is not enough, so we can only suppress them with clever tricks, but we can't really subdue them; Or maybe those evil spirits have a past life origin, and we can't move it. As for the land of Mengjiatun is the ancestral industry of the Gao family, it is also a matter of the old years, once the dynasty has changed, everything has changed, don't you know that the current rural areas are all land contract responsibility system? Ownership is all by the state, and the right to use is limited and protected. You think that he wants to regain his ancestral business in this way, but it is theoretically untenable. Having said that, in fact, he also had doubts in his heart, but his ability was not enough, and it was in vain to think so much, so he could only wait and see.
"But how did the pair of Pixiu in the eyes of the array turn black in just ten years? If it is invaded by evil qi, then can evil qi also affect the people in the array? Sunshine asked unconvinced.
Li Yunfeng nodded, "You're right about this, so thanks to you this time, the spirit rune I brought you is still enough, right?" ”
"It's alright! It's the yin qi that is cool to the touch, and I have recited the soul purification mantra many times to clear those evil qi, and my hands are still cold. Sunshine smiled.
