Chapter 57: Formation
"Half-immortal, let me come!" The fat man Mao then recommended himself.
I shook my head and insisted on going on my own.
The formation foot usually needs to use something persistent, and the time for drawing the talisman will not last too long at all, but even if it blocks the blood jade of the powerful ghost, it will weaken with the passage of time.
Fu Wenjian was not ambiguous, and after smiling, he bit his finger and tapped on everyone's forehead, drawing a tadpole-shaped blood mark. This should be some kind of mark of the head descending master, I don't understand it anyway, but if Fu Wenjian wants to get in, he must rely on us people, so in a short period of time, this mark should only be good, not harmful.
After the imprint was finished, I used a grapefruit leaf stained with vinegar to open an eye for each of them, and then drew a general outline of the entire empty space on the ground, including the rectangular object that served as the eye of the array, the two stone pillars, and the gate.
With these iconic things, it's easy to discern the way, and with a discerning eye, the chances of getting lost are slim. Then I circled five places on the map and said, "This should be the location of the formation, which one I will destroy the farthest later, and the others are up to you." ”
The miasma in the whole empty field was too heavy for me to stay too long, so I had to ask them to help out.
The formation was forced, and the soul locking array couldn't lock the ten thousand spirits inside, and of course it couldn't seal the miasma, and the miasma flowed everywhere, and there shouldn't be so much miasma in the space-time field.
To be on the safe side, we chose five people. In order to guard against Fu Wenjian, I asked Fu Wenjian to also be in charge of one of the formations, and then Zheng Guodong and the fat man were each responsible for one, and the other one closest to the stone crack was handed over to another person.
After dividing the tasks, the five of us set off at the same time, under the unified command of the fat man, and then pulled out the formation together.
The eyes of the array are not necessarily stone pillars, but there will definitely be an altar, as long as the altar is destroyed, the formation can be cracked.
The five of them moved together to avoid the difficulty of destroying the formation by separating them one by one, so they had to do this.
As soon as everyone got their hands on the folding shovel, they got into action.
In order to save my strength, I walked very slowly, walked for about a minute, and then walked to the center of the two stone pillars on the opposite side, and then took out a folding shovel and began to dig the soil, after digging for a while, I saw a stone slab, in the center of the stone slab, there was a recessed part, and in it lay a piece of jade quietly.
This is a piece of jadeite with a transparent red body, so red that it is purple! I spent time in the antique shop of Fat Man and Lao Hu, and I also had some research on antiques. Although the current market value of jadeite is not as good as jade, it is still expensive. And red jadeite is the best in jadeite.
After looking around for a while, and making sure that everyone had found the Formation Eye, we looked at the fat man one after another.
The fat man's task is to make sure everyone is ready, and then turn off the miner's lamp.
Because there must be a large amount of yin coming out, and in the case of lights, it is too easy to be exposed, so it is necessary to turn off all the light sources, and only after everyone has gathered near the stone gate can the light source be turned on.
I waited for a while, and finally waited for the fat man to turn off the lights. This eye is different from the one I dug last time, there is only one piece of jadeite, there is no stone pillar, I just need to take out the jadeite.
After the jadeite was in my hands, I hurriedly turned off the miner's lamp on my head, quickly threw the jadeite into my bag, and quickly retreated to the edge of the stone gate.
The whole process is complicated to say, but it's actually very fast. After doing this, soon the whole empty space was pitch black, and the wind was gusting, and many strange sounds came to mind, including the cries of children, the roars of women, and the roars of men. All sorts of chaotic sounds quickly rang out.
The agreed time was to gather within a minute, because it only took one minute to walk slowly from the crack in the stone, and according to Zheng Guodong's description, normal people can only stay in it for two minutes at most, and I am the most dangerous one among all of them.
Others can retreat as soon as possible after encountering an emergency, but I can't, even if I run to a crack in the stone, I will probably be swallowed by the miasma.
If you turn on the miner's lamp, the target is too big and can be easily discovered, if you turn off the miner's lamp, wait until everyone gathers together, and wait until the yang energy gathers to a certain extent, it is possible to resist the yin energy here.
But this is a mass grave, in fact, even if the nine of us are gathered together, the yang energy may not be able to resist the huge yin energy here.
After a while, I clearly felt that my breathing was a little uncomfortable, and it was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers, and my heart was even more panicked.
The sound of ghosts crying and howling is still in my ears, some of them are far away, and some of them are even around me.
"Who are you......"
Rarely, I understood a sentence and looked behind me, seeing nothing in sight due to the darkness around me, but when I turned my head, I was shocked to find an unusually terrifying face facing my face, less than a centimeter away from my face.
His face was covered with abscesses, and the appearance of cracked teeth was very terrifying, and the most hateful thing was that this guy actually stared at me with two blood-red eyes wide, and he wanted to eat me immediately.
"Who are you......"
He made a cold voice again, and the hesitation was relatively close, and I could even feel the corpse aura coming from him.
I instinctively tried to pull the magic weapon out of my bag, but when my hand reached into the back of my backpack, suddenly a hand grabbed me, and then I was pulled backwards by something I don't know.
"Bold!" I burst into a shout, although I was only a Maoshan Warlock, but the stronger my body was more than ordinary, the whole person suddenly increased his strength, shook off the things that grabbed my hands hard, and then took out a killing blade.
The so-called killing blade is a knife that has killed people, and this kind of knife is more aggressive, and both humans and ghosts are afraid of three points.
The killing blade in my hand was not an actual knife, but a dagger made of five copper plates tied together with red strings and then fixed on a handle.
This dagger is one of the relics of Zhang Zhenren at the beginning, and later I consulted some documents to know that this dagger tied by copper coins is actually a killing blade. Over the years, Maoshan Tantra and Sutra have rarely moved, but not at all.
Tantra mainly cultivates the Tao and is used to transcend the dead, while Sutra is to propagate the Tao.
Of course, the two were originally one. It is said that this dagger was a treasure requested by one of the heads of Tantra, the first masters of the Sutra sect. There were many disciples of the sutras, and there were also many traitors. The successive heads of Tantra have needed to use this dagger to carry out family law.
In addition to being used to give death, this dagger has also killed some criminals who intended to capture Hyeonjong in the hands of the head of Hyeonjong.
Originally, this dagger was the inheritance of the previous heads of the Xianzong, and later the country's policy was getting better and better, and this dagger was useless, but the magic weapon of Tantra was lost more and more, and in the end he had to ask for help from Xianzong, and the head of Xianzong handed over this killing blade to the contemporary head of Tantra.
After I took out the dagger tied into copper coins, I felt a little more confident, but I knew very well that now I was probably surrounded by ghosts, and I could kill one and not the second, and there were many powerful characters.
It's like the yin ghost who just looked at each other, and it seems that he thinks I'm suspicious, but I'm just not sure. From this point of view, Fu Wenjian's rune can only be effective compared to lower-level Yin ghosts, and Yin ghosts that absorb more Yin Qi and develop more powerful Yin Ghosts can also see certain flaws.
Yin ghosts, like people, also have a collective consciousness, especially in the mass grave, where the yin is lifted, there are many ghosts, and they are blocked by the soul locking array, a large number of ghosts have been mixed together for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a difference between strength and weakness, and weak ghosts obey the orders of powerful ghosts, which is a normal thing.
With the Killing Blade in my hand, I could clearly feel the aura around me loosening a lot with both hands in my hand, and now these Yin Ghosts were afraid of the dagger in my hand. It's just that I don't dare to act rashly, because my vision is affected, and I don't dare to do it easily. If I kill a Yin Ghost, I will expose myself to the eyes of other Yin Ghosts, and I will definitely not be able to suppress it with my own Taoism.
After a while, I felt a chill behind me, something like me approaching again, I was furious, how to say that I am also a warlock, although surrounded by a group of ghosts, but it does not mean that I don't even have the courage to exorcise demons.
Without thinking about it, he swung the dagger behind him, and at the same time quickly opened the eye of the sky.
The eye of heaven can see things that ordinary people can't see, and even in the dark night, they have the ability to see very clearly, and the reason why they haven't opened it before is because I know that there must be a lot of ghosts and other terrifying things around, and after seeing it, it can only increase the fear.
But at the moment, I can't care so much.
The dagger arced and stopped at the place where it was about to rest on the opponent's neck, and I couldn't help but roar: "Dead fatty, you are looking for death!" ”
"Half-immortal?" The fat man's eyes widened and he asked as if puzzled.
I have heavenly eyes, but he doesn't, obviously, he can't see me, he just can touch my body. I hurriedly withdrew the dagger, and if I let this guy know that I almost killed him, my heart would be half cold.
"Half-immortal, it's great to find you!" The fat man hugged me excitedly.
I pushed him away as if disgusted, and my eyes naturally looked around, I didn't know if I didn't know, and I was suddenly scared into a cold sweat when I saw it.
The entire empty field is densely packed with ghosts. If it's just some wandering ghosts, it's nothing, and after seeing a lot, you'll get used to it. Strangely, there are still some wet corpses.
You must know that this mass grave is very likely to have been buried during the Three Kingdoms period, and now, how can it be three or four thousand years, and at such a long age, there will still be wet corpses, and part-time jobs are appalling.
Wet corpses refer to those corpses after death, buried in a more humid or heavier place with heavy yin qi, the corpses do not decay all year round, and the soul is reluctant to leave their bodies, so wet corpses are formed.
In fact, the wet corpse is also a ghost, but there is a corpse that can be overpowered.
These wet corpses are the same as the female ghost they encountered when they first entered, and the flesh around them began to rot, leaving a wet footprint on the ground with each step, and large pieces of carrion fell to the ground, and there were even some corpses and maggots on their bodies that were chewing on their flesh.
In addition to wet corpses, there are also zombies!
Zombies, born from the resentment between heaven and earth, are immortal and indestructible, and last all year round. If the dead person is buried in a relatively dry place, it is easy to form a dry corpse, and if this place is angry, the dry corpse will gather a large amount of resentment, and one day, after the dry corpse absorbs the yang energy, it will cause the corpse to change, thus becoming a zombie.
Zombies don't have a little water on their bodies, not even bone marrow, so their limbs are stiff and can barely beat, but they are as powerful as oxen.
Obviously, the yin ghosts are caused by the formation between the stone crack and the empty field, while the zombie and the wet corpse should be born from two relatively distant formations, these two yin things have high requirements for the surrounding environment, and it is generally difficult to breed.
In addition to these three, in the entire empty field, I am afraid that the most are skeletons.
Skeleton people don't exist in the eyes of ordinary people, and even I only see occasional mentions in some literature.
