Chapter 70: One Step Late

In the basement hall where Xiahou was teleported, the group of people with yellow talismans on their foreheads were still standing there quietly, unchanged from before.

They look even more stupid now, like a bunch of soulless bodies, not at all like individuals.

But in the invisible places, there is already some kind of faint connection between their brains, forming a whole.

At this time, a side door in the basement hall opened, and the old Taoist priest walked in with a group of people.

The old Taoist priest led the way, followed by a string of people who were tied together, and next to them were dozens of Taoist priests who pressed them.

The old Taoist priest came to stand in front of the group of people with yellow talismans on their foreheads, he recited a few incantations, and then the group of people turned obediently.

The old Taoist priest waved his hand a few times, and the group of people made various movements according to his gestures.

The old Taoist priest shouted a few words, and the group of people walked around according to his orders, acting exactly according to his orders.

The old Taoist priest passed the test and was very satisfied with this group of people: "Very good, now these people can do what they can do, and they can set up a large array of corpse refining." Da Kun, how about the sacrifices prepared for the Great Array just in case? ”。

Da Kun, the eldest apprentice behind him, stepped forward and said, "Master, there are a total of sixty-four sacrifices, and now they have been brought, all of them are here, and I really can't find any more people." ”

Hearing this number, the old Taoist priest said with a little dissatisfaction: "The corpse scripture says that ninety-nine eighty-one people who stick to the yellow are better to prepare eighty-one sacrifices in advance, but now we only have sixty-four, and there are still seventeen sacrifices missing." If the big array can run smoothly, the sacrifices won't be used, so it's okay to have less. If something goes wrong, sixty-four sacrifices should be enough. I'm afraid that something will go wrong, and the sixty-four sacrifices are a bit unsafe, and this matter is still a bit risky. ”

Listening to his words, Da Kun came out and suggested: "Master, why don't I go to the third junior brother to have a look and see if he has succeeded?" Maybe he's already arrested those Jianghu people, so our sacrifice will be enough. ”

The old Taoist priest thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, Da Kun, you go and take a look, if Xiaoren succeeds, you can bring those people back." Go ahead, now you are one step away from success, be careful. ”

"Okay, master, I'll go back as soon as I go." After finishing speaking, Da Kun waved behind him and turned around with a few Taoist priests.

After seeing Da Kun leave, the old Taoist priest said to his second apprentice Erbo: "It's rare that the city god here is shattered, so we can set up a corpse refining array in the county, the opportunity is rare, we can't miss this opportunity, we can only take a risk." It's not too early now, and if you don't start the corpse refining ceremony, you can't complete it before dawn. Let's get started, Erbo, you take the rest of the people to the reserved position, and if the energy of the corpse refining array is insufficient, you can throw the sacrifice in. ”

"Okay, master." The rest of the Taoist priests replied together, and then each grabbed a few people and guarded them around the hall.

The old Taoist priest waved his hand to the front, and the group of people with yellow talismans automatically separated a road, and the old Taoist priest walked over and came to stand still among them.

The old Taoist priest took out a yellow talisman, the pattern on it was similar to the yellow talisman on the foreheads of the group of people, but there were slight differences in some places, which could make people see some essential connection between them.

The old Taoist priest muttered a few words to Huang Fu, and then Huang Fu began to spontaneously combust, and the old Taoist priest was not afraid of being hot, so he swallowed the fire in one gulp.

After doing this, the old Taoist priest immediately sat down cross-legged, turned his heart to the sky, closed his eyes and began to chant the incantation.

In the sound of the old Taoist's incantation, the people with yellow talismans on their foreheads began to move slowly, and they lined up and walked to their positions, forming a flowing corpse refining array, revolving around the old Taoist.

They walked slowly with blank eyes, and suddenly the yellow talisman on their foreheads spontaneously combusted without fire, and also began to burn slowly, and a ball of flames suddenly erupted in Shaoqing, instantly enveloping their entire heads.

The flames came and went quickly, and they burned for a while and then went out immediately, but after the flames were extinguished, their heads changed a lot.

I saw that the skin on their heads had now turned yellow, and there were still a few faint red lines hidden on them.

The skin on their heads had become smoother, the previous wrinkles and ravines were gone, and the old men suddenly seemed to be back in their prime.

The yellow-headed man continued to move around according to a certain pattern, and the corpse refining array continued to run.

At this time, the old Taoist priest did not need a spell to communicate with the yellow-headed people, and as soon as the thought of his heart came to mind, he could order them to make the next move.

As he walked, the corpse refining array entered the next stage, and a yellow ray emitted from the head of the yellow-headed man to shine on the old Taoist priest, and through this yellow line, they were more closely connected.

"Poof!" The old Taoist priest sitting in the middle had just finished receiving the yellow line, and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood and suffered a lot of trauma.

What's going on?

The old Taoist priest tried to stabilize the big formation, suppressed his injuries, and then pinched his fingers to count, and when he understood, he was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and the seven orifices smoked.

There are eighty-two yellow-headed people here, and there are ninety-nine and eighty-one who are good, so why is there one more?

Now that these eighty-two people are connected to him through the yellow line, it is impossible to reduce one, what should I do?

The big array has been activated, and it can't be stopped, and he and these eighty-two people are organically united, and they can't be cut off.

There was one more yellow-headed person, which made the big array fluctuate, and the yellow-headed people who were originally tamed, because they did not meet the fixed number of heaven and earth of ninety-nine eighty-one, the old Taoist priest's control over them became weaker and weaker.

The yellow-headed people began to resist, they became restless, not controlled by the old Taoist, and the large array was on the verge of collapse.

Affected by the backlash of the large array and the resistance of the yellow-headed people, the old Taoist priest made a gesture: sacrifice.

The Taoist priest standing outside received the master's order and immediately threw the 64 captives who were crying for their fathers and mothers into the big array.

Seeing the living person enter the big array, the yellow-headed man was immediately triggered by his bloodthirsty instinct, grabbed the person who was thrown in, raised it to his chest, bit it, and began to suck blood.

Due to the lack of sacrifices, not every yellow-headed person could get a single sacrifice, and some sacrifices were carried by two or three yellow-headed people to suck blood.

Replenished by blood, the bloodthirsty instinct stimulated suppressed his own rational resistance, and the yellow-headed man began to quiet down, became less restless, gave up resistance for the time being, and began to selectively listen to the orders of the old Taoist.

Under the command of the old Taoist priest, they walked around according to the original path, and the large array stabilized again.

Although the great array was temporarily stabilized and this crisis passed, the old Taoist priest knew that after the blood of the sacrifice was sucked dry by the yellow-headed man, he would face another counterattack by the yellow-headed man.

At this time, Xia Hou arrived, and he saw a group of yellow-headed people surrounding the old Taoist, according to a certain law, no consciousness, no sanity, walking mechanically, and holding living people in his hands, and biting them in his mouth to suck blood, he knew that he was a step too late.

Xia Hou knew that he had no choice, so he took out his long sword and rushed towards them.

"Stop him."

When the Taoist priests saw it, they immediately surrounded Xiahou and fought with him.
