Chapter 20: Burning the Spirit Rune Circle
From opening the coffin just now, to the rooster crowing, to the old Taoist running to the wooden stake in the east after giving instructions to Chen Ziyang, the whole process has passed about half a minute.
In this half a minute, the others were not idle under the urging of Lao Dao, two bags of caustic soda were poured into the blood spirit coffin, and at the same time, a large amount of water was poured into the blood spirit coffin from large and small buckets.
Caustic soda is very soluble in water, and it is particularly corrosive when dissolved in water, and a large amount of heat is released while dissolving. The old way is to use caustic soda to burn all the blood paste in the blood spirit coffin.
The blood paste is the product of the blood coagulation in the coffin, and it is also the place where the blood spirit exists, and it is the source of the blood spirit's resentment.
After everyone poured caustic soda and water into the blood spirit coffin, a burst of white smoke mixed with a foul smell rose to the sky, the four sons of the Wang family except for the second child of the Wang family, the other three, each holding a long wooden stick, stirred the water and caustic soda vigorously at the upwind outlet of the blood spirit coffin, the second child of the Wang family poured a bag of caustic soda into the coffin from time to time, and the rest of the people took the empty bucket and ran back to the iron water tank to draw water, and then brought it back and poured it into the coffin after the water was finished.
Now everyone understands why Lao Dao put the iron water tank at the upwind outlet. This dry caustic soda powder is very corrosive, and the white mist produced by caustic soda when it meets water is even more so, plus the red and black blood paste mixed in it does not know whether it is poisonous, and it is exaggerated to say that the mixed smoke coming out of the coffin is estimated to kill a person.
This clearing has been seen on the spot, and he knows that when this blood spirit coffin was originally selected, he deliberately found a cave place that was troubled. There are many types of wind sha in Feng Shui, but to sum up, if the wind is too strong or the wind blows for too long, it is a wind evil.
Feng Shui is actually the preservation of "qi", in Feng Shui, qi disperses when it encounters the wind, and melts when it encounters water. The cave land that has committed the wind and evil, even if it is good in other aspects, this is also a fierce place. The mountain wind in this clearing is cold, and the wind here has not stopped when Lao Dao has come to this clearing several times, and the two conditions formed by the wind are accounted for here, so Lao Dao judged that the mountain wind should blow here all year round.
According to this, Lao Tao asked everyone to put the iron water tank at the upwind outlet, just to avoid the white fog formed by caustic soda and caustic soda when it meets water to hurt everyone. Now all the people except the old road are on the upwind of the blood spirit coffin, and the wind here is blowing from the southwest to the northeast, so the old road in the east is not affected for a short time.
Everyone tried to stay away from the coffin when they burned the blood spirit coffin, but fortunately, Lao Dao asked them to prepare a long wooden stick that could be stirred far away. There is no problem for those who come back from fetching water to splash water far away, only the second child of the Wang family is more dangerous, and he needs to pour caustic soda into the coffin at close range.
In fact, it is enough to open the bag of caustic soda and throw the caustic soda into the coffin along with the bag. But even if he threw it, the farthest distance he was from this blood spirit coffin was only two meters, and he couldn't throw it any further.
The second child of the Wang family has worked in the paper mill for many years and knows the power of caustic soda. When he heard all about it from his father, he guessed that the caustic soda must be corroding something, so he borrowed a set of industrial protective clothing to bring with him when he came.
Lao Dao didn't know that there was such a thing as protective clothing, so he didn't let the Wang family prepare, but he told everyone to wear more clothes and wear long sleeves before, and everyone thought that Lao Dao was afraid that they would be cold......
Although this protection has been taken for a while and looks old, it is better than ordinary clothing. After a while, the Wang brothers stirred caustic soda, and the sleeves of their clothes were already corroded. The second child of the Wang family hurriedly took advantage of the time to cut the canvas covered with caustic soda on the trolley into several strips and distributed them to wrap around their arms.
As bags of caustic soda and buckets of water mixed and stirred inside the coffin, a large amount of pungent white smoke rose from the air. With the burning of caustic soda, the blood paste in the blood spirit coffin was decreasing little by little, and the color of the liquid in the coffin had changed from the initial black and red to blood red.
At first, the blood paste was as hard as a stone, and it was very difficult to stir the top layer, but as time passed, the blood paste was slowly corroded by caustic soda, and the blood paste also softened a lot, and it saved a lot of effort to stir.
A few people who stirred were far away, and with the white smoke billowing out, the situation inside the coffin was not very clear, and I didn't know what was going on inside the coffin.
However, a few long wooden sticks stirred the blood paste at the bottom of the coffin, and some of the mixed liquid in the coffin splashed on the outside of the coffin with the stirring, corroding the blood paint on the outside of the coffin, and some places even revealed the original color of the sarcophagus.
Chen Ziyang was preparing to burn the spirit rune ring next to the westernmost wooden stake. Chen Ziyang has a total of four things on his body, all of which were given to him by the old Tao before. A windproof lighter, a silver three-edged needle, a spirit talisman, and a jar of boy urine that he had urinated yesterday morning were also given to him by Lao Dao for self-defense.
The task given to Chen Ziyang by Lao Dao is one, burning the spirit rune circle.
In the old way's plan, after the Sleepy Charm had sucked all the resentment of the blood spirit, he burned the spirit talisman with a fire, and these resentments dissipated. In addition, there is another situation where the amount of resentment is too large, and even if all the spirit runes are fully absorbed, the trapped resentment will not be sucked out.
This kind of situation is the last thing Lao Dao wants to see, but according to Lao Dao's estimate, according to the number of spirit runes that Lao Dao and Chen Ziyang made together, except for the spirit rune circle that traps the blood spirit body, which may absorb resentment and reach saturation, the other three spirit rune circles are not a big problem.
The fact is also the same, Lao Dao has been watching the number of separated grievances with yin and yang eyes when separating grievances, and the spirit runes on the first three spirit rune circles are enough to absorb all the separated grievances, the only thing that is needed is time, long enough.
According to the method taught to him by the old Taoist, Chen Ziyang first found a wooden stick and tied the spirit rune to the front end of the wooden stick, and then Chen Ziyang gritted his teeth, pierced the middle finger of his left hand with a three-edged needle, dripped a few drops of blood on the spirit rune, and then slowly stretched the small stick into the spirit rune circle.
According to Lao Dao's estimates, the rooster hanging on the westernmost rune ring is the first stand-in rooster, so the least resentment trapped here will be the fastest, and it will be the fastest to be sucked out by the trapped talisman.
Chen Ziyang glanced at the miserable condition of the that was sucked dry, and felt a wave of nausea and fear in his heart. Quickly diverted his gaze from the disgusting picture, and instead focused on the blood on the spirit rune. Chen Ziyang silently counted ten counts in his heart, and when he saw that the blood on the spirit rune had not changed, he knew that the resentment here had been completely absorbed.
The resentment on the blood spirit likes to absorb human blood the most, not to mention that when it is trapped and absorbed and has been weakened, it needs to absorb blood to replenish the resentment. According to the old Tao, if the blood on this spirit rune is sucked dry or turned black, then it proves that the resentment here still exists, and it cannot be ignited before it has been absorbed.
But judging from the current situation, the resentment trapped on the westernmost stake has been completely absorbed by the trapped charm. Chen Ziyang took out a windproof lighter and lit the spirit rune on the spirit rune circle.
The night before, Lao Dao touched the rest of the lard on the spirit rune ring to support combustion, so the spirit rune on the spirit rune ring was on point, and after a while, it burned out, and Chen Ziyang hurriedly ran towards the wooden stake in the north.
