Chapter 222: The Cross Altar

Three long and two short, many people know this saying.

But what does this mean?

Generally speaking, this phrase is used to refer to unexpected calamities, or to be a tactful term for danger, death, death, etc.

The origin of this sentence is related to the coffin.

Because the coffin was pieced together with six pieces of wood.

The four pieces of coffin lid, bottom of coffin, left and right are long wood.

The front and back are short square timbers.

But this is six pieces of wood, why not call it four long and two short?

That's because the lid of the coffin is only put on after the body is put into the coffin, so it can only be called three longs.

However, in reality, there are two special meanings of three long and two short, which few people know.

One is the night owl who enters the door to ask for his life, and the cry is three long and two short, once someone hears this call, his life will not be long.

The second is the person who is about to die, and his heartbeat is just three long and two short.

Just like He Yuchen is now.

Bai Chang touched it for a long time, and he found that although He Yuchen still only had one soul and one soul, and his heartbeat was three long and two short, his soul was very stable, and he looked like he was asleep.

It is estimated that she will not die for a while.

However, Bai Chang is still not very relieved, in case her yang shou really arrives, and the ghost of the underworld is about to come, won't she still have to die?

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a solution.

He Yuchen's five ghosts and evil spirits should be able to help.

So, Bai Chang cast a trick and summoned He Yuchen's five ghosts and evil gods from the corner, as well as the paper man Xiaodan.

These five ghosts and gods usually only listen to He Yuchen's dispatch, but now He Yuchen is unconscious, and several of them are also confused, and when they are summoned by Bai Chang, they are very reluctant.

However, they also have intelligence, and naturally know that Bai Chang is a friend of the master, so they hang their heads and ears, whimpering like a child without a mother.

That little single didn't live next to Bai Chang and flew left and right, chattering non-stop.

If it was before, it would have been a bit difficult for Bai Chang to command He Yuchen's Five Demons, but now he has learned some spells on the Yin Mountain Spell, which just came in handy.

He pinched up the Five Ghost Trick on the spot, and ordered the Five Ghosts to guard this ward tightly, and not to let any evil ghosts approach, especially the Soul Hook Ghost Poor.

You must know that most of He Yuchen's three souls and seven spirits have been dispersed, and there is only one soul and one soul left in his body, although there is an undead spirit leaf hanging his life, but now the undead spirit leaf may become poison at any time, so he must be prepared.

These five ghosts may be the last barrier to protect He Yuchen.

With their strength, even ordinary ghosts should be able to fight.

In order to prevent accidents, he also left Ah Ruan, a female ghost in red, to help, and the paper man Xiaodan as the messenger of the message.

Under such layers of protection, it should be possible to ensure that He Yuchen is okay for the time being.

Next, it's time to look at Ma Xiaohu's soul summoning array.

So, Bai Chang ran non-stop to Songfeng Mountain, the open space behind the mountain.

He ran around like this, but the two guards were unlucky, so they could only run around with him, and when Bai Chang was doing errands, he had to wait outside, and when he was walking in the car, he had to wait like an uncle, for fear that Bai Chang would be unhappy.

The two of them are not stupid, anyway, as long as it is eight o'clock in the evening, their task will be completed, and before that, they will endure it no matter what.

When he arrived at Songfeng Mountain, it was already early afternoon, and Bai Chang was surprised to find that Ma Xiaohu's work efficiency was quite high.

The so-called cross altar is exquisite.

The crosses in this painting should be horizontal and vertical in the east, west, south, and north.

The south points to the "dark yin", the north points to the "ghostly", the east points to the "ghost", and the west points to the "dark night".

The southeast is "Youye", the southwest is "Youguan", the northeast is "Youdu", the northwest is "Youfu", and the center of the cross is "Youjiao".

This kind of cross spirit platform, Bai Chang has seen it for the first time, but he has seen it in the classics.

This arrangement is to allow the caster to communicate with the underworld thoroughly.

No matter where the ghost is in the underworld, it will be able to receive a signal to make contact.

At the same time, Ma Xiaohu was also busy with a few people.

Bai Chang walked over, and after some inquiry, he learned that the soul conjuring array that Ma Xiaohu was going to arrange had only just completed about one-fifth.

It will take three days to complete it all, and even if it is fast, it will take at least two days, that is, until tomorrow night, before it begins to take shape.

Ma Xiaohu said that in fact, if he was to arrange this big array in his hometown, he would not have to work so hard at all.

But in this place, many of the common magic weapons and items for arranging the array are not complete, and it is difficult to gather them one by one.

Bai Chang didn't think so, and said to him, if you have difficulties, look for Guo Cripple, that old guy has everything at home, not to mention the magic weapons of the array, even if you want to find Qin Shihuang's urinal basin, he may be able to get it.

Ma Xiaohu said with a wry smile that he had already asked Guo Cripple for help, but even so, there were some things that had to be put together, and the fastest would be tomorrow afternoon.

Bai Chang thought about it, if this was the case, as long as He Yuchen insisted on it for another twenty-four hours, it would be almost the same.

I hope that Ma Xiaohu's Soul Conjuring Array can work, otherwise, this matter will be really troublesome.

Then, Bai Chang inquired in detail about the items he needed, and then he understood why Ma Xiaohu said that things were not easy to make.

The array items he needed were not just those general magic weapons, such as gossip mirrors, mahogany swords, bells, glutinous rice, charms, incense and candles.

He also needed eight different kinds of grains, rice and beans, as well as three livestock and nine animals, one hundred and eight incense sticks, seven old oil lamps, forty-nine wicks, a large barrel of sesame oil, eight rice bowls, a Book of Changes, a blood-stained axe, and an ink fountain before liberation......

And so on and so on a lot of strange things, not to mention Guo Cripple, even if I hear it, I have a headache.

But Bai Chang has his own way, although he is too lazy to look for those things, but he has a follower.

So, Bai Chang asked the two guards to send one of them out to buy some scattered things, and the other person followed Bai Chang and came to the school again.

From the morning to now, these two people have not eaten anything, and they are hungry and fartful, but they dare not say anything, so they have to obediently do it.

The school has been out for the summer vacation, and the cafeteria is very deserted, so Bai Chang came directly to the Malatang stall and brought out the rhubarb.

He didn't bother to ask Rhubarb Xingshi about the crime, and after a few simple scoldings, he asked Rhubarb if he knew where to get corpse oil.

Rhubarb slapped his thigh and said, "Boss, you want to make corpse oil, you are the right person." ”

Bai Chang glared: "What do you mean, you won't tell me, your spicy tang is corpse oil, I have heard that someone did this, let me tell you, if you dare, I can't spare you." ”

Rhubarb shrank his neck and said, "How dare I, you know that I have always been cowardly, and I only use gutter oil...... If you want corpse oil, I'd suggest you go to the crematorium, I have an acquaintance who works there, and I'm sure you can get it. ”

Bai Chang nodded, in fact, he also knew that this thing could be obtained at the crematorium, but ordinary corpse oil was not good, it had to be the body of nine yin.

That's hard.

Alas, it seems that I have to go to the funeral home to squat for the night to find the body of the Nine Yin Body.

This matter is already imminent, because the ancestors of the Bai family have a cloud, and they must ensure that the soul-attracting lamp cannot be extinguished, otherwise once it is extinguished for more than seven days, there will be a catastrophe.

After coming out of the school, it was already dusk, and at this time, Bai Chang said with a smile to the "guard".

"Okay, now, I can go with you to Boss Wang's house and take a trip......"
