When I calculated the hour when the yin qi was the heaviest, Hao Jian also arranged a standing position for everyone, and at this time, there were still three workers standing next to him, and Brother Zhao was also inside.

"It's embarrassing...... "I muttered in my heart, before I said that fifty people were just an approximate estimate, in fact, I couldn't use so much, but I couldn't let them go back with the remaining three, otherwise the tall image I had just worked so hard to create would be ruined."

Then look at the other side of the formation of people, I pondered for a long time did not find a vacant seat plus three, although I arranged this formation has no name, but every step can not be wrong, the middle of a group of five people to take the meaning of "five emperors", the zigzag position and into the "heaven, earth and people" three talents.

The middle three-person group echoes the three talents of the center, the four components of the southeast and northwest take the "green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu" of the four directions, the outermost group of four people echoes the four directions, and is divided into five places to welcome the five emperors, and the center of the "five emperors and three talents" echo from beginning to end.

Interlocking, end-to-end, this is already a complete formation, everyone in the formation, each position has its own role, not to mention that there are three people left, even if there is only one left, I can't arrange it!

Hao Jian didn't know that I was already anxious, and he was still tirelessly telling everyone not to move around at will, not to talk to each other, etc., as if a primary school student was preparing to go on a spring outing.

After a while, I didn't have any instructions for the next step, Hao Jian felt that something was wrong, and before he could ask when he turned around, Brother Zhao, who was idle next to him, preemptively asked, "Master?" Where are the three of us? ”

It's not good for me to pretend to be stupid anymore, but there is really no extra place in the formation, and I was anxious when I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and waved my hand towards Brother Zhao from afar: "The three of you stand in a zigzag behind me, don't run around no matter what happens!" ”

Brother Zhao promised to jump on the altar with the other two, and stood behind me with his hands behind his back in an orderly manner, in fact, the three-talent formation and the formation below them are two sets of systems at all, but except for me and Hao Jian, the rest are all laymen, as long as I don't say anything, they won't notice.

When everything was arranged, the sky was completely dark, there was not even a trace of wind in the empty street, and the flames of the two candles on the incense table were burning straight, which seemed a little strange outside.

Seeing that the hour had not yet come, I sat everyone cross-legged on the spot, and then taught a mantra of concentration, and told us not to make any mistakes, or we might all die here tonight.

When everyone heard that their lives were in danger, where did they dare not pay attention to it? For a while, the stage and the audience were full of the sound of chanting mantras, I sat on the altar and corrected a few words from time to time, and later chatted with Hao Jian about it, and he said that the scene at that time was like he was engaged in pyramid schemes.

Time passed slowly minute by minute in the sound of mantras, and in the blink of an eye it was nine o'clock in the evening, and I glanced at the time and asked everyone to find a place to rest for a while, and then meet here at one o'clock in the middle of the night. Line

Most of the workers had no opinions, only Brother Zhao looked a little hesitant, I thought he was scared and wanted to escape, so he lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Brother Zhao, I see that your face is not very good, why don't you go back first?" ”

Brother Zhao was stunned for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Master, you misunderstood, I'm not afraid, I can't figure out something." ”

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows, raised my hand and made a "please" gesture: "But it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Brother Zhao seemed to be organizing his language, and after a few seconds, he whispered: "You said before that you could only launch the formation when the yin qi was at its heaviest, but wasn't it the time when the yin qi was the heaviest?" I remember it was 11 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the second half of the night, and it was a little late for you to let us come back to the formation? ”

I glanced at Brother Zhao with some surprise, but I didn't expect that he was not a complete layman, so I chuckled and explained: "Most people know that the yang energy at noon is the heaviest, so I take it for granted that the yin energy is the heaviest in the middle of the night, but in fact, the heaviest yin energy in the day is the ugly time, that is, the period from 1 to 3 o'clock in the morning, and today is the most ugly at 3 minutes, that is, around 1:45 in the morning, so it is too late to gather at one o'clock." ”

Brother Zhao looked at me confused, as if he didn't understand what I was saying.

I looked at the time and found that there was still plenty of time, so I patiently explained: "The ugly time is also called 'rooster crow', as the name suggests is the time when the rooster crows, the so-called 'rooster sings the world white', the ugly time is the beginning of the day, it is the time when the yin is at its peak and the yang is declining, but at this time the yang energy has begun to recover, and then use the yang energy gathered by the formation to provoke the yin and yang to rush together, so as to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Don't look at what I said seriously, in fact, it's a half-truth at most, it's not that I don't know what's going on, but I'm afraid that Brother Zhao won't understand what I'm saying too professionally, but even so, I still listened to him stunned for a while, and after a few words of flattery, I went to find a place to rest, but I looked at his expression when he left, and I knew that he still didn't understand.

But I didn't bother to explain it anymore, anyway, he was a construction worker who knew that it was useless, tightened the robe on his body, and began to close his eyes in a wheelchair, at this time there were still more than four hours before the ugly hour, and I didn't know what made the hundreds of workers disappear out of thin air, so it was necessary to keep up the spirit.

In the blink of an eye, at half past twelve in the evening, I was woken up by Hao Jian, who closed his eyes for a while, and then Hao Jian went to inform the others, and it was one o'clock after everyone stood up according to their previous positions.

I took everyone to review the mantra again, I saw that the time was almost up, after putting on a new incense candle, I twisted up a piece of rune paper and made a fire spell to ignite it, and my left hand picked up the soul bell and shook it three times, and my right hand held the peachwood sword and pointed to the sky and took the lead in reading: "Divine light and divine light, the four directions, the true nature of my nature, the way of heaven is clear, in the sky that is returned to the sky, in the earth is to return to the earth, in my body, the Tao is full of energy, into a real person!" ”

Dozens of people chanted in unison, after a few times, everyone's voices converged in one place, and the empty street set off a breeze out of thin air, but the candle flame on the incense case was still burning straight, and as we chanted more and more times, the flame of the candle was getting higher and higher, and when it was close to three quarters of the ugly hour, two candles more than ten centimeters long had burst into flames nearly one meter high!

At this moment, I found that the three incense sticks in the incense burner were burning rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after more than ten seconds, the three incense sticks burned out one after another, and the two flames on the candle were also extinguished at the same time!
