The Taoist chief, who was arranging the formation with peach charms and wooden knots in front, glared at the bearded man, and the bearded man had to keep his mouth shut.

After half an hour, the Taoist chief spoke, "Okay, there is still one last step left. Let's go find some wicker first and come back to seal the formation. ”

"Looking for wicker to tie up that zombie?"

"That's right. ”

There was little hope of finding a willow tree within a radius of only ten paces or so, and after two people circled around the neighborhood in a small circle, the idea was abandoned. Find some rattan instead of wicker.

The two returned to the formation with a bunch of rattans.

"Remember the direction we just came back, this is the only living gate in the entire circle. You go here first, and I'll seal the array. ”

"Not sooner!" the bearded man grumbled, nodded and closed his eyes, recalling all the sights on the road he had just walked back.

A moment later, the Taoist returned.

"How do you feel like you're sealed in a glass jar?" asked the bearded man.

"It's basically isolated from the outside world within ten steps of this area, so I feel this way. ”

"Didn't you say that within a hundred meters, you still want that Li Lin to wait in that big tree hole..."The bearded man suddenly slapped his head and gave a thumbs up to the Taoist chief.

"If you don't have the strength, you have to be a hundred careful. The Taoist priest said.

The Taoist took out a large bag of peach talismans from the cloth bag, sorted them neatly and placed them on the ground, and said, "We have to wear a nine-foot-long rattan and put on these eleven peach talismans in order." ”

Looking at the peach talisman on the ground, the bearded man asked: "Nine I know, in your Taoism, nine is the old yang, but also the pure yang, and the sixth is the old yin, and the two are opposed." Right? Why does it have to be eleven peach talismans?"

The Taoist chief groped for the most suitable rattan and said: "You are only right, in our Taoist concept, there is no such thing as opposition, everything is you and me, and I have you." Here four are the 'Evil House Weird Talismans' to suppress the evil qi and yin qi, and the other seven are the 'Seal Seven Listening Talismans' used to seal the seven orifices of zombies. ”

"As for why eleven, it's also important, even the number that determines success or failure. Because, I only have eleven peach talismans that can deal with this kind of existence. ”

......

"So, what if that doesn't work either? Dao Chief, you must have something else to do, right?"

The Taoist chief pointed to the road he had just come back and said, "Didn't I tell you just now?" ”

The bearded man looked helpless, the array had been sealed, and it was safe to stay with the Taoist chief honestly.

There was a small hole in each peach talisman, but the beard still felt that it was most appropriate to put all the peach talismans given by the Taoist chief in the pockets of his camouflage uniform.

The Taoist looked at the bearded man and smiled: "Don't worry too much, he was not your opponent before his death, and did you feel stronger the last time you woke up?" It's just a walking corpse, if you can't deal with this..."The Taoist waved a rattan he picked out and said, "Then I don't have to mix in this world!"

"When I woke up, I did feel like I had a lot of power all over me, and I felt like I could kill a cow with one punch. ”

"But before it was verified, I was violently abused into a dog... You can't even understand what it's like to be bound by that long whip!"

Dao Chang's face twitched obviously!

"Tomorrow you may have a chance to test. Single-handedly that Li Gang will try to know. ”

"No, my principle is to be able to assassinate with one blow, otherwise I will never act rashly. Besides, I can't stab this Li Gang in the body a few times. I think this Li Gang is not bad to his brother. ”

The Taoist nodded while wearing a peach talisman and said, "So, he is the right person." ”

The bearded man looked at the Taoist Chief's string of peach talismans, touched the one in his pocket and asked, "Dao Chief, this peach talisman doesn't need to chant a spell or something to be effective, right?"

"Ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts will not approach, and they need to be stimulated as a one-time consumable. ”

"For example, the one in my hand, if you add fingertip blood, the effect can skyrocket. The Taoist looked at the bearded man and smiled.

The bearded man didn't say a word, turned sideways, and practiced his qi cross-legged.

After living for a long time, the Dao Chief asked, "Donghai, do you think it's strange that every time you wake up, your strength becomes stronger?"

The bearded man opened his eyes and said, "When I was still a mercenary, compared with the mercenaries on the previous rankings, I was definitely at the bottom of the individual soldier ability. ”

"But now!"

The bearded man said and grabbed a rattan thicker than his wrist, twisting it in his hand like a towel, the rattan made a burst of cracking sounds, and in a few breaths, the rattan was twisted by the beard.

"In terms of strength, I think there are only a handful of mercenaries who can win against me. ”

The Taoist looked at the broken rattan on the ground and said, "Is this your limit?"

The bearded man nodded: "I don't know, sort of." I couldn't have imagined it before. ”

Dao Chang nodded thoughtfully and said, "We really need someone to help us make a record and record the changes after each waking up. There must be a pattern to follow. Only if the records are detailed enough, the clues will be found. ”

The bearded man also nodded and said, "If Li Gang can join, he can let him do this." ”

"Not yet, it's not just about the change in strength that needs to be recorded. It also includes feelings, perceptions, and even the sequelae of defects, etc., and we must trust people enough to ensure that we will not be given our information by others. ”

The Taoist looked at the bearded man, and then said: "There are two sides to everything, the curse of the Black Forest makes us repeat it over and over again, but our strength does not decrease but increases..."

"You know, curses have a price, and they will always be paid much more than they get. ”

The bearded man asked, puzzled, "Isn't it the price that we have to forget everything here in seven days? It's already more painful than death. ”

The Taoist just shook his head and said, "If the Black Forest is a behemoth machine, then there must be an organization behind the machine, and the curse of amnesia is just to make us forget something we shouldn't know." ”

"Every time we get stronger, there's only one way to do things for them. This is similar to the fact that some cults in the world used to refine babies and live stiff. It is no longer a person who does such a dirty thing, but a devil, so in their eyes, people will not be regarded as human beings. The more they invest in us, the more they take away. ”

"I don't want to be trained into a zombie by others, I haven't even been a serious person yet! Check out the bill every day, calculate the turnover..."

As if he hadn't heard the bearded man's words, the Taoist rubbed his temples to himself. Raising his head, he asked, "Bearded, did you have any strange dreams before you woke up?"

"Dreaming?" the bearded man asked, confused, "It seems... No, I rarely dreamed since I was a child, and the dreams I had almost forgot the next day. ”

"What's wrong, did you have any strange dreams?"

"Nothing. ”
