Chapter 254: Preparations
After Su Qiubai returned to Jianghai, he first told Zhou Xin, Anya and others that he had found a way to save Ruan Yu, and then took her back to the villa from the hospital.
The body of a brain-dead patient could not survive on its own, and she had to rely on the hospital's life-sustaining equipment, but fortunately, Ruan Yu had Su Qiubai's spiritual power in her body, as long as Su Qiubai regularly injected spiritual power into her body, she would be fine.
After lying in the hospital for a few months, Ruan Yu has long since lost her original glamorous appearance, and her whole person looks pale as paper, and she is almost skinny.
Seeing her like this now, everyone felt distressed in their hearts, and they urged Su Qiubai to do his best to perform that soul restoration technique.
"Before the conjuring, there are some more preparations." Su Qiubai said, took out a small porcelain bottle, and then punctured Ruan Yu's index finger and dropped a few drops of her blood into the porcelain bottle.
"What do you need? You sue me, and I'll go and prepare. Anya said.
Su Qiubai took the blood, sealed the wound on Ruan Yu's finger with spiritual power, and then said: "You need a lot of cinnabar, twelve candles, eight copper bells, and some white flags, and finally a jar of aged rice wine, it's almost there." ”
After Anya wrote down everything he said, she was about to leave to buy it immediately, but was stopped by Zhou Xin: "Xiaoya, there are all kinds of these things, and you can't buy them all in one place." Or a few of us have divided the work, you and Soho go to find cinnabar, I will go to find copper bells, candles and white flags should be able to be bought in the sacrificial shop, Qianqian, you are responsible for these, as for rice wine, you go and buy it. What do you think? ”
Tong Jian on the side saw that Zhou Xin had divided a circle of tasks, but he had nothing to do, so he was a little anxious and asked, "What about me?" What do I do? ”
In the past few days, he has gone to the hospital to accompany Ruan Yu whenever he has time, and at this time, he learned that Su Qiubai wanted to save Ruan Yu, how could he do it if he didn't do anything?
Su Qiubai said: "You just stay at home and give me a hand, there are still some things to do before summoning spirits." ”
Tong Jian saw that he had not been forgotten, so he agreed to come down with satisfaction.
After the girls went out without a moment's delay, Su Qiubai began to walk back and forth in the villa with the Xuankong Gold Plate.
Spiritualism must be performed in an absolutely safe place, otherwise if it is disturbed by the outside world and interrupts the casting, it will be difficult to restart at best, or scare away the summoned spirit.
The only safe place that Su Qiubai could think of was in this villa, but he had set up a Zhou Tian Qiankun array in the villa, and no one wanted to come in, let alone a ghost. However, Su Qiubai couldn't break this formation lightly, because breaking the formation would hurt the feng shui foundation here, and he would not be able to set up a formation here in the future.
The only way is to open a temporary "door" for Ruan Yu's soul without destroying the formation, so that she can enter through the gap, and after the spiritualism is completed, close the door again, and it will be foolproof, and he walked around with the Xuankong Gold Plate just to find a suitable place to open the gap.
"This is it!" Su Qiubai stopped at the door of a room that had been vacant for a long time and said in surprise.
Located at the corner of the stairs, this room is the most cloudy part of the villa, and it doesn't get sunlight all year round, and even in summer, it's very cold inside, so no one wants to live in it, so it's been empty until now.
Tong Jian had been following Su Qiubai inch by inch, because he couldn't understand what he was doing, and he didn't dare to ask more, but seeing his excited look at this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Su, what did you find, so happy?" ”
Su Qiubai smiled: "I want to open a passage for Xiaoyu's soul to enter the villa, and this room is the most suitable place." Xiaojian, you come with me. ”
Su Qiubai said, left the empty house, and returned to the living room again.
There are many potted plants in the living room, all of which are used by Su Qiubai's array, although it seems simple, in fact, the position of those potted plants is extremely particular, and no one dares to move their positions casually.
If the Zhou Tian Qiankun Array is compared to the fence of a villa, then these potted plants are equivalent to the railings that make up the fence, and now Su Qiubai wants to change their position, which is equivalent to artificially creating a gap in the fence.
After finding the right position, Su Qiubai and Tong Jian began to get busy, and by the time the girls came back, all the potted plants in the living room had already moved their positions.
Seeing that the two of them were busy sweating profusely, Soho first asked, "What have you two been busy with for half a day, why are you so tired?" ”
Tong Jian wiped his sweat and said, "Sister Soho, haven't you noticed any changes in this living room?" ”
Soho glanced around, feeling that something was indeed different, but he couldn't see it for a while.
In the end, Anya was sharp-eyed, pointed to the potted plants that had been moved, and said, "What are you doing with these potted plants?" ”
Su Qiubai said, "Have you forgotten the formation I laid out in the villa? Although Xiao Yu was free to enter and exit when she was alive, she couldn't get in if she became a ghost, so Xiao Jian and I moved the layout of the formation just now and opened a passage for her to come out. ”
Anya nodded, didn't say anything more, and put everything they had bought on the table with the rest of the group.
"Look, is this enough?" Anya asked.
Su Qiubai glanced at it, and saw that cinnabar had bought a woven bag, and immediately laughed, not to mention summoning spirits, just to paint all the walls of the villa, these are enough. They also deliberately bought more of the other things, as if they were afraid that they would not have enough.
"Enough is enough, enough of these things to attract a bunch of ghosts to come back for a party!" Su Qiubai said with a smile.
Anya glanced at him and said, "Aren't we afraid that you won't be enough!" ”
Zhou Xin was most worried about Ruan Yu's safety at this time, so she was not in the mood to joke with them, and asked directly: "Everything is ready, when will you start summoning spirits?" ”
Su Qiubai glanced at the sky outside the window, although it was already dark, it was actually only six o'clock.
"By the hour, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the place was in the empty room behind the stairs. When the time comes, you may need a few of you to help, and the process may be terrifying, are you afraid? Su Qiubai asked.
"Of course I'm not afraid, although it's a ghost that has been invited, but that's Xiaoyu, what's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Zuoqian was puzzled.
Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "In addition to Xiaoyu's soul, it is very likely that there are some other things to follow, but don't worry, with me, you will be fine." ”
Zhou Xin is the oldest among the girls, and she has experienced a lot of turbulence, so she is not so afraid of ghosts. Anya is a cultivator, and she has spiritual power, so she naturally will not be afraid. Soho has always been calm and calm, even if he is a little scared, he will not come out. But Zhang Zuoqian and Situ Su are different, they are just two ordinary young girls, and they can usually jump up in fright when they see cockroaches, let alone ghosts. Hearing Su Qiubai say this, they instantly felt that the air in the villa was cold, and there were bursts of chills behind them, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
Su Qiubai noticed the expressions of the two, and comforted: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't come, what I want you to do is not very important, if you are afraid, you should stay in the room, so as not to go wrong at the time." ”
When Zhang Zuoqian heard this, she cheered up and said boldly: "Who is afraid!" I just haven't seen a ghost since I've grown up, so I'm just a little curious. I don't want to go back to the room to stay, how can I save Xiaoyu without me? ”
Situ Su on the side also nodded, tried to restrain his frightened expression, and said, "I won't go back, there is Xiaobai here, what are a few ghosts?" ”
Su Qiubai saw that the two of them were scared and refused to admit it, and secretly felt funny in his heart, in fact, the situation was not as terrifying as he said, and with him, there was really nothing to worry about. He said this on purpose, wanting to scare them, and when the goal was achieved, he couldn't help but feel dark in his heart.
"Then it's decided, when the time comes, a few of you will also stay in that room together, there are more women, the yin qi is heavier, and you are close to Xiaoyu, which will also be of great help to the matter of conjuring spirits. As for Xiaojian, you don't need to be there, just wait for my news in the room. Su Qiubai said.
Tong Jian jumped up when he heard this, he had been thinking about saving Ruan Yu, and now he finally had a chance, although he might not be able to help, but he couldn't even be present and watch, so he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why, Brother Su?" I can't help much, but I just want to watch from the sidelines, can't I? ”
Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want you to see it, firstly, you are a man, you have a lot of yang energy on your body, and you don't know how to hide it, so it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect the conjuring of spirits, and secondly, Xiaoyu and you are not as familiar with other people as they are, in order to avoid any variables, it is safer for you not to be present." ”
As soon as Tong Jian heard that his presence might affect Su Qiubai's ability to save Ruan Yu, he immediately didn't dare to insist anymore, and agreed sullenly, with a disappointed expression on his face.
Su Qiubai understood his thoughts, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to rush at this time, as long as Xiaoyu is cured, you will have more time to see her." ”
Tong Jian thought that this was indeed the truth, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he asked instead, "I understand, Brother Su." Is there anything else I can do to help you before you do it? ”
Su Qiubai knew that he wouldn't be at ease if he didn't let this kid do something, so he said, "Since you are so positive, I can rest assured that I am lazy." Seeing that there is no cinnabar, you go to find a basin and mix the cinnabar and rice wine in a one-to-one ratio, remember, be sure to stir well. ”
Tong Jian didn't say a word when he heard this, and went to the kitchen with the heavy bag of cinnabar and rice wine jars.
The rest of the people were not idle, according to Su Qiubai's instructions, all the things in the empty room were piled up in the corner of the wall, and then twelve candles were arranged in a circle on the ground, and a bamboo pole tied with copper bells was placed on the periphery of the circle according to the position of the eight poles, and after it was ready, Tong Jian's rice wine cinnabar was also stirred.
"Alright, all that's left is to wait for the hour." Su Qiubai said.
