Chapter 81: Before the Lockdown is Unblocked
The day always passes quickly, of course, this is said to the idlers or those who are busy and do not pay attention to the time, the idlers have a big dream, I don't know how long it has been, the really busy people don't care about the time, there is no time to look at the time, the nerves become numb, and the time passes quickly.
As for those who are not interesting, have nothing to do, and simply want to kill time but can't find a way, even the afternoon is very difficult.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and although it was not very dark, many merchants and shops on the street could already be seen lit up, except for the teahouse on Maple Grove Street.
At this time, the teahouse was pitch black, Su Ying stayed in the room and lit the lamp, which was the only place in this teahouse where there was light, as for the other rooms, they were all pitch black, and the teahouse lobby was even more pitch black, and it was pitch black at all, so it was not entirely correct to say that there were actually two small lights in the lobby of the teahouse, which were green and oily, floating in the air, and came to the left slowly for a while, and came to the right slowly for a while, which was not much different from a walk.
It's really a walk, those two small green lamps, it's a pair of eyes of Xiao Hei, it hasn't changed back into a human form now, because transforming into a human form is useless for improving combat effectiveness, even if animal cultivation can transform into a human form, but the most suitable thing for them to fight is the original body, a body has been used for decades, hundreds of years, how to say that it is better controlled than the human form that was cultivated later, the original body battle has become an instinct, which is why in many Xianxia TV series, monsters can't be beaten, As for the reason for the magnification move back to its original form, this actually makes sense.
It seemed to be a little boring, Xiao Hei wandered around a few times, then lay on the counter and closed his eyes to rest, this time the lobby of the teahouse could be regarded as completely dark.
As for Lin Mo, he is now staying on the third floor of the teahouse, and there is no need for him to arrange any special altar here, because the entire third floor is a magic altar, and there is only one room on the third floor.
Lin Mo sat in front of the Su Shi Mirror, with a knife next to him, and the whole room was arranged with a Nine Palace Bagua formation, which not only surrounded Lin Mo in the center, but also connected the entire teahouse, and each of these eight directions put a thing as a formation eye, this thing is in the mirror master's vein, known as the cause and effect device, and the pair of jade cups taken from Zhang Ningxi's house also happened to be here, but it was not yet time to open it.
And in the other rooms on the second floor, there is no one else, only two ghosts, that ghost is Lao Hei and his newly found daughter-in-law Tian Fang, the two ghosts are solemnly guarding the room, although they know that they can not help much, but they have a heart, if Lin Mo really encounters any accidents, they will also try their best to bring out the people in the teahouse, Lao Hei can mix for so long, not entirely because he can fight, mainly because he has a special ability, and the ability to escape is his strongest ability, otherwise a stupid big man, With these two pairs of fists to fight all over the world?
Don't dream, the evil tiger is still afraid of the wolves, he really can't fight and escape, heal the injury and improve and then hit the door, Lao Hei's strength is improved in this way, but he is also ruthless enough, ruthless to the enemy, even more ruthless to himself, many times almost lost his soul, fortunately met Lin Mo, but Lin Mo later thought that it was too troublesome for him to treat his injuries, so he pointed him to find a good place that would help the recovery of ghosts, this is the current achievement of Lao Hei, Lao Hei can be said to be thick and fine, if it is time, it must be a generation of ghost males.
Time passed minute by minute, Lin Mo sat on the third floor of the teahouse and adjusted his state, this time is the most important unsealing of the mirror master in the past thousand years, to be honest, Lin Mo doesn't know what kind of situation he will encounter, it's not that he forgot to ask, but the old man didn't know what would happen back then, ninety-nine to one, this one is too difficult to find, otherwise it wouldn't have taken thousands of years, inherited for a full eighty generations, and sealed a full eighty times, It wasn't until Lin Mo, the eighty-first generation mirror master, chose to unseal the mirror in this way.
The mirror master cultivates cause and effect, so what kind of terrifying cause and effect has accumulated in the past thousands of years, Lin Mo doesn't know, he can't even understand why these people have passed on for so many generations, if it weren't for the old man's dying will, if this is not the old man's greatest wish, then Lin Mo might put this old world mirror in the box and fall into ashes, and never take it out for the rest of his life, or directly bury the old man.
Of course, this is only if.
The night is getting deeper, the wind is already blowing outside the window, the people on the street are hurrying home, they seem to feel something, there are some crossings, but there is a flickering fire, that is the descendants who are burning paper money for the ancestors, they bow their heads, do not look around, sit attentively on their own business, fortunately the turbidity of the world infects their bodies, if they are opened at this time, then they will definitely find a very interesting thing.
When they burn paper, they will first draw a circle on the ground, and then burn paper in the circle, people who understand will light a few pieces of paper money and throw them outside the circle, which is to send away the lonely ghosts, and those who did not throw paper money outside the circle, his side is covered with overlapping ghosts, eyeing the circle around, they can't take it out, naturally they are waiting for the ghosts who can take it out, and then it is inevitable to scramble, there are not too many laws in the ghost world, and robbing things is nothing at all, naturally whoever grabs it is who.
Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, but it is two pieces of paper money, throwing it out is not bad, but there is less trouble, everyone is happy, even if there is no lonely ghost and wild ghost, it is also considered to be a good fate to give to the ghost who passes by, and when Yangshou is finished, he will go down to the underworld, and maybe he will say hello to you when he encounters a ghost.
Yo, dude, down?
Haven't you ever been here?
Brother will show you around.
The night is getting deeper, and there are many ghosts on the streets, some walking, humming, dancing and circling, and those who burn paper on the roadside will surround them to see if they can get some oil and water.
As for harming people? There's no need, this time is the time to find a way to get more money, just like going to work, there is not so much effort to do that kind of thing.
There is no money to take at this intersection, so go to the next intersection, the city is so big, and there are so many intersections, you have to turn around quickly.
But this is talking about those ghosts who are not enshrined, as for those who have the money to hang out, those who have the strength and are not short of money, naturally they will not compete with these ghosts, lose their identity, and their faces are not good-looking, they come up either to see their family descendants, or to get something more valuable to them, for example, people's yang energy or some treasures that are useful to ghosts, and even more when they come out, they are not ready to go back, as for whether they can escape the pursuit of ghosts when the time comes, it is another story.
At ten o'clock in the evening, on the street in front of the teahouse, there were gradually more ghosts, but there were no ghosts who were idle and ran into the teahouse, because they couldn't see it, one was because their cultivation was too low, and the other was because Lin Mo had opened the concealment formation, which was mainly to shield the spiritual induction, the ghost is the soul body, and the person is the soul, before the cultivation of the divine sense, it is called spiritual power, also known as perception, the role of this concealment formation is not to make the teahouse disappear completely, so that in case someone walks through here, Or if there is a person in the store next to it, it is not good.
But as long as you block the perception of others and let them treat the teahouse as an ordinary building, it is much better than directly turning the teahouse into nothing.
Inside the teahouse, Lin Mo is waiting, Su Ying is waiting, the little black cat is waiting, Lao Hei and Tian Fang are also nervously waiting for the arrival of time, they all see or perceive the situation outside to a greater or lesser extent, there are more ants and will bite the elephant to death, and the number of ghosts on Halloween is much more than an ant colony.
But after all, you still have to face the situation of ghost attacks, compared to the situation that the teahouse will encounter tonight, what hundred ghosts knock on the door, they are all pediatrics, and there are no less than a hundred ghosts looking at a street.
Gradually, the time slowly came to eleven o'clock, from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, which is called the sub-time, and the sub-hour is also the heaviest time of the day, and the strength of the yin spirit like the ghost is also the strongest at this moment.
Lin Mo's face became serious, picked up the knife placed aside, slashed at the tip of his left finger, the blade made a soft sound, a string of blood remained on the blade, no more, no less, only five drops, his wrist shook, five drops of blood flew out in five directions as if he was being dragged by something, and landed on the five causal instruments, and then the knife was handed over to his left hand, and slashed from the tip of his right finger, except for the index finger and middle finger of his right hand that were not cut, each other finger flowed out a drop of blood and stopped on the blade, and he also flicked his wrist, Three drops of blood flew towards the other three causal devices.
When the eight causal artifacts placed around the room were all stained with Lin Mo's fingertip blood, the blood was gradually absorbed by the causal apparatus, and the light on it flashed, and the eight artifacts were faintly connected, and a ray of light shrouded the entire teahouse, and it disappeared in an instant, but in fact, the formation had been opened, when it was opened, and how it worked were all in Lin Mo's thoughts, and the remaining two drops of fingertip blood could not be used at will, which was Lin Mo's killer weapon at a critical moment.
Tonight, Lin Mo can be said to have prepared all the means he can use, after a few nights, everything will be happy, even if the worst result is only a serious injury, the old man said that he left a means in this teahouse, and he can save the lives of the people in this teahouse at a critical moment, the only thing that is uncertain is whether the old man fooled him, but such an important matter, the old man should not lie to him.
But Lin Mo still kept an extra hand, the pair of jade cups he took from Zhang Ningxi's house was his hole card, this jade cup was a pair, one was placed by Lin Mo in the position of the birth gate, and the other was put in a safe position by Lin Mo, in case something really happened, Lin Mo could also pay the price to send everyone to teleport away, but this was just a strategy, because Lin Mo would unlock the seal of the Su Shijing no matter what.
That's his promise.
A promise is not violated!
