Chapter 298: Small Soul Summoning Array
Li Huaishan muttered and cursed, but in the end, he still couldn't withstand the pressure brought by the ten unjust ghosts, and obediently dug a pit.
It's not that I don't want to help him, but because my life is yang and yin, and I don't have much affinity for ghosts, and his life is the opposite of mine, and the pit dug by him himself, ghosts are happy to go in.
For the whole afternoon, Li Huaishan dug under the wall, and I stood on the wall, smoking a cigarette, waiting for Chen Dabang to come back.
Chen Dabang kept saying that he would soon be able to get everything in order, but by five o'clock in the afternoon, it was about to get dark, and Li Huaishan had already dug the pit, but he still hadn't come back.
At that time, I was a little anxious, but there was no other way but to continue to wait.
It was probably a pitiful day, it was dark late that day, and at six o'clock, the last ray of the sunset was about to sink down the Dead Man's Slope, and Chen Dabang finally returned.
He drove the car directly into the fort, and as soon as he opened the door, he hurriedly threw out a huge cardboard box, Li Huaishan borrowed the box, opened it and saw that it was full of hand-held lanterns pasted with white paper.
Chen Dabang got out of the car, ran to the east room and took out a red plastic bag, yellow paper, sandalwood, red thread, and a piece of charcoal, all of which were contained in it.
I took the plastic bag from Chen Dabang and asked him, "Where is the rice paper?" ”
Chen Dabang immediately took out a folded piece of rice paper from his pocket: "I only found so much, is it enough?" ”
I unfolded the paper and looked at it, nodding, "That's enough." ”
With that, I stuffed the plastic bag into the alley, threw the box against the wall, and then grabbed the sack containing the ten skeletons and climbed onto the wall.
The sunset is about to sink completely.
While there was still a little time, I immediately unfolded the rice paper and all the yellow paper, so that one corner of the paper was facing the west.
Chen Dabang is indeed a knowledgeable person, and as soon as I unfolded the paper, he reported the names of the ten women one by one.
I wrote all the names on rice paper and yellow paper, and when the last name was written, the sunlight had not completely disappeared.
"Ergou, quick, light sandalwood!"
As I yelled at Li Huaishan, I tore the rice paper into small pieces, each of which promised to have a complete name.
Li Huaishan quickly lit the sandalwood, and I quickly took out the ten red threads prepared by Chen Dabang in advance, and tied one end of the red thread to the sandalwood, and the other end to the yellow paper on which the name of the deceased was written.
While tossing the work in my hands, I still looked up at the sunset over there from time to time.
It can be said that it was a very timely time for Chen Dabang to come back, and I originally planned to prepare the soul recovery array before the sunset completely set, and prepare the soul attraction lamp within fifteen minutes after the sunset completely sank into the western mountain.
The yellow paper and sandalwood are connected, and a simple soul return array is considered ready.
The sun was setting, and the heavens and the earth were finally plunged into darkness.
I immediately put the slightest piece of rice paper into the lantern and lit the white candle in the lantern.
At first, the lights were normal orange-yellow, but when I placed a lantern near the yellow paper with the names of the deceased written on it, the light dimmed and then turned bright white.
Li Huaishan stood aside with his hands folded, watching the movements in my hands without saying a word.
Until the ten soul-attracting lamps were arranged, I condensed a mouthful of mental power, and divided this mental power into ten parts, and injected them into the soul-attracting lamps one by one.
After coming into contact with my telekinesis, the light of the soul attraction lamp immediately dimmed, and the wind near the wall also stopped at once, and the yellow sand was still floating outside and inside the wall, except for this small area on the wall became extremely clean.
Looks like things are going more smoothly than I thought.
In fact, I've only seen this kind of small soul-conjuring array mixed with soul-attracting lamps and soul-returning arrays in the classics of the family, but I've never arranged it myself, and I don't know what the effect of this thing is.
In addition, the classics of the old family also say that this small soul conjuring array will be arranged by many people in the sect, but there are few people who can make it effective, so I don't have much confidence in myself.
The formation is arranged, but it will take a while to summon the spirits of the dead.
I straightened up, looked at the ten soul-attracting lamps at my feet, and exhaled.
Li Huaishan crossed his arms and asked me, "What are you doing here?" ”
I said, "I'm going to summon the spirits of the dead and send them to the underworld." ”
Li Huaishan: "What's the use?" ”
He was still reeling from what had happened at noon, and his tone was visibly impatient.
I smiled at him: "Didn't you just dig a hole, and you are so angry?" ”
Li Huaishan glanced at me: "Don't come with me, what do you mean that I dug a pit, you are obviously calculating me." Hey, no, I just can't figure it out, can't you lie, how to fool people, and set one set. ”
I couldn't help but be happy: "I didn't fool you, you can recall carefully, which of those words I said to you at noon was false?" ”
Li Huaishan pursed his lips: "Well, yes, you don't lie, but you don't tell the truth either, and you specifically pick and choose what is not true or false." Didn't I say you, if you don't, you said that you are young, why are you so scheming? I'm telling you you're not good like this! ”
I waved my hand helplessly: "It's almost okay, a rough man, how can you be like a middle-aged resentful woman, and the rambling will be endless." Are you hungry now? ”
Li Huaishan rubbed his stomach: "Why aren't you hungry, I haven't eaten for a day." ”
I nodded: "Then be hungry." ”
Li Huaishan glared again: "What do you mean then be hungry, no, if it weren't for you, what would it be?" ”
I pointed to the soul-attracting lamp on the ground: "If you want to succeed in setting up a formation to summon spirits, you must first ensure that there is no deposition of filth in your body, you know what I mean, right?" ”
Li Huaishan: "Don't be disgusting, I still don't know what you mean, but what's the use of you telling me this, the person in charge of summoning spirits is you, not me." ”
I still gave Li Huaishan a smile: "If you can't see the content of those ancient books, you may not be able to learn it." ”
At first, Li Huaishan didn't seem to understand the meaning of my words, and tilted his head towards me, showing a little doubt on his face, but soon he understood, first his eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head, and his eyes were locked on those soul-attracting lamps.
It is true that as a wealth passed down from generation to generation by the old family, most of the classics in the West Hall, Li Huaishan, cannot be read, but as long as he keeps an eye on me, he can also learn what I have learned from the classics.
As for the rules at home...... Anyway, I didn't take the initiative to teach Li Huaishan, because he had his own eyesight, and he stole it from me, so I can't be regarded as breaking the rules.
Li Huaishan was staring at the soul attracting lamp, and I said to him again: "The reason why you are allowed to go out to dig a pit is mainly because your life is more suitable for this." ”
Li Huaishan squinted at me, then lowered his head again, and deliberately acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
I don't care how you perform, as long as you can remember my words, it's fine.
Later, Li Huaishan took a closer look at the different ways of tying the red thread when I tied the yellow paper and sandalwood, probably because he felt that there was no need for ideas, so he sat down against the wall and smoked silently.
I leaned on the battlements and looked in the direction of the village.
If everything written in the texts is true, the scene that appeared on the Dead Man's Slope at noon today is enough to show that those women from other places have become wandering spirits wandering the village after their deaths, and if I am not mistaken, their spirits always enter the village at noon and come out after nightfall, and at midnight they return to the Dead Man's Slope and fall into a deep sleep.
And the place they go to most often should be the old house where Chen Dafa's family of five once lived.
The wait always seemed extraordinarily long, from sunset to the time of the sun, as if a whole day had passed, during which Chen Dabang had been walking up and down the castle courtyard, his face full of unconcealable anxiety, and the east house had been very quiet, and only when it was not windy in the fort, could the snoring of the widow be heard occasionally.
The last time I looked at my watch, the time on my phone screen was 10:55.
Ten minutes later, I pressed the butt of my cigarette against the wall, crushed it twice, then bent down and sprinkled the ashes of sandalwood into the lantern, and then burned the red thread and the yellow paper on which the name was written, and then disrupted the order of the soul-attracting lamp.
At this point, only the pieces of rice paper put in the lantern could tell me who each lamp belonged to, but I couldn't see the rice paper covered by the lampshade.
After this, I took all the skulls out of the sack and placed them on the ground, with the eye hole facing the direction of the village.
Seeing my actions, Chen Dabang immediately became nervous, and he quickly leaned towards the wall, then stopped, tiptoeing to look at the soul attraction.
I was no more relaxed than him, and I was also frowning at this time, staring at the soul-attracting lamp on the ground.
After about five minutes, dust suddenly rose from the wall, and the ten soul-attracting lamps on the ground first dimmed suddenly, and then the lights were in full bloom, and the miserable white fire light illuminated a large area of the earthen wall.
I immediately condensed my telekinesis in the dantian, grabbed a soul-attracting lamp, and shouted a name in the direction of the village.
Seconds passed, and there was no movement in the village.
I took a heavy breath and called out another name, but there was still no response.
Then I shouted a few more names, but still no response, at this time I was already a little anxious, but there was no other way but to sink my breath into the dantian, and keep shouting the name of the deceased.
I remember, it was probably the seventh ...... Or when the eighth name was called, a faint yin qi suddenly rose in the village, and it circled around an old tree at the entrance of the village, and then flew towards the fort.
And the lantern in my hand flickered several times in succession, and the light of the fire changed from a miserable white to a normal yellow.
The yin qi floated three thousand meters down the dirt slope up the wall and landed on one of the skulls, and I immediately stepped forward three times, picked up the skull, and stuffed it into a sack.
