1203-Paper Crane Volley Demon Exploration Array
We patiently threaded the red rope on the paper crane, and Bai Wei specially asked the old ape: "Old ape, there is one more thing I have to ask, who is the person who set up the demon array?" Why do you want to spread this ruthless formation in the forest, could it be that you have some enmity? ”
The old ape shook his head and said: "Since I was transformed by Shufang Dao, I have been living in the mountains and practicing all the year round, and now I have pinched my fingers, not to mention that it has been more than a hundred and ten years, where have I made any grudges, what resentments have I caused?" ”
"Don't you even know the identity of the person who set up the formation?"
Bai Wei asked again, the old ape shook his head again, and replied: "I don't know, at that time, I was also blamed for my negligence, I avoided the mountains and ignored the world all the year round, and it was also hindered in the mountains and forests for a long time, at first I found that someone had entered the forest, but I didn't even pay much attention to it, and then the person came to the forest three times and twice, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, and sometimes even came in groups of three or five with a few people, I began to be alert, but at that time they had laid the foundation of this magic array in advance in various places in the forest, and I couldn't figure it out at all, I couldn't figure out what these people were going to do, and when I realized that they were setting up the formation, that person had already erected the core white bone banner where the three generations of the old Chen family had buried the monkey's body, and it was too late for me to think about anything else, and I couldn't go back to the sky......"
After listening to the old ape, Bai Wei asked again: "Old ape, then, what does the person who took the lead in arranging the formation look like?" ”
The old ape pondered for a moment, and then replied, "It seems that he is a middle-aged man in his fifties, who is slightly thin and has sunken cheeks, as if he has not eaten in many days. Judging from the dress, I can recognize at a glance that the person must be a Taoist, but it should not be an orthodox Taoist priest from Quanzhen or Zhengyi......"
"How so?" Bai Wei asked.
The old ape replied, "The first few times he came into the woods, he dressed like an ordinary person, probably to prevent me from being suspicious, but the last time he came to erect the white bone flag, he needed to set up an altar, so he came in a robe." The robe is shaped like a Taoist robe, but the whole is pitch black, and there is a yin and yang Taiji diagram painted on the back, but the Taiji diagram is different from the ordinary Taiji diagram, the ordinary Taiji diagram is black and white, but the Taiji diagram on his back is black and red, and the two Taiji fish are not separated from the left and right, but one up and ...... the other."
Bai Wei hurriedly asked again: "Which one is on top and which one is on the bottom?" ”
"The red Taiji fish is on top, and the black Taiji fish is below," the old ape replied, "Moreover, on the cuffs of that robe and the edges around the clothes, there are lines of mantras painted with red lines, although I have been practicing for more than a thousand years, but I don't even know what sect and sect that mantra came from......
Hearing this, Bai Wei frowned, and hurriedly took her hand into the magic weapon bag on her waist, and when her hand stretched out again, she took out a silver hairpin from the bag, which was the magic weapon that Second Sister Liu used to control the corpse before-'Eight Treasures Dinghai Needle'.
Handing the silver hairpin to the old ape, Bai Wei asked again, "Those spells you said, but this?" ”
The old ape took the silver hairpin with his hand and looked at it intently, and was suddenly startled, and nodded again and again: "Yes, this is the kind of spell!" Little master, where did you get this from? ”
Hearing this, Bai Wei's brows had already tightened, and I had already heard some eyebrows from between the lines of this man and an ape.
This Eight Treasures Dinghai Needle is a magic weapon used by Second Sister Liu, after inserting it into the body of a corpse or a living person, she can control the other party's soul, corpse or resentful spirit after death, the effect is extraordinary, and this journey has put us in dire straits more than once, and almost gave us our lives.
And now that Second Sister Liu has been captured by us, we have learned that she is a member of the Lushan Sect, a branch of Longhu Mountain, and this 'Eight Treasures Dinghai Needle' is naturally also from the magic weapon of the Lushan Sect.
The incantation engraved on the Eight Treasures Dinghai Needle is a unique spell of the Lushan Sect, not Sanskrit, and the mantra used by ordinary Taoists is not the same, and now, as the old ape said, the mantra drawn on the black robe of the person who arranged the magic array in the forest is the same as that on the Eight Treasures Dinghai Needle, which undoubtedly proves that this person may be inseparable from the Lushan Sect and the second sister Liu.
After a moment of silence, Bai Wei raised her eyes to the old ape and asked, "Old ape, according to what you said, that person has never appeared since he set up the formation?" ”
"No," the old ape shook his head, and replied in a deep voice, "I have been looking for traces of him all the year before, and he has done so much harm to the descendants of my people, and if I can find him, how can I spare him?" ”
Bai Wei nodded, didn't ask any more questions, but lowered her head and pondered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I leaned aside and whispered to her, "Bai Wei, do you think this matter has anything to do with Second Sister Liu?" ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Wei glanced at me, and then continued: "If you look at that person's clothing and appearance, it is obviously inseparable from Second Sister Liu, according to what the old ape said, the clothes on that person's body should be the Lushan Sect's Dharma robe......"
"He's also from the Lushan Sect?" I asked hurriedly.
Bai Wei replied: "If you look at it from the costume, it should be so, however, there are two sects in the Lushan Sect, Second Sister Liu belongs to the Black-headed Sect, that is, the Black-headed Mage, and the man in the old ape's words should belong to the Red-headed Sect, that is, the red-headed mage." The red-headed mage also calls himself the 'Three Milk Sect', and is good at driving away evil spirits and collecting demons to eliminate disasters and misfortunes, and the black-headed mage are different in beliefs and spells, and it is rumored that the two sects have always been incompatible, even if they are in the same Lushan Mountain, but they rarely have contact...... But ......"
Having said this, Bai Wei pondered for a while, shook her head, and continued: "However, even if the person who is in the Demon Array is really from the Lushan Sect, what does it have to do with Second Sister Liu?" He set up a formation here a year ago, so it is impossible for him to save Second Sister Liu who was captured by us, so he deliberately made a ghost here to block our way, so what is he setting up this formation for? ”
Listening to Bai Wei's analysis, I also nodded and replied: "It seems that there is any mystery in it, we have to wait until we go back, and ask the second sister Liu......
"That's all it can be......"
Bai Wei responded, but then lowered her tone even more, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the fourth child and Xiao Chen will ...... Nothing will happen......"
Bai Wei didn't say anything more after saying this, but it was obvious from the expression on her face that she seemed to be worried about something......
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, I didn't ask any more, so I began to sort out the paper cranes tied with red threads again.
While we were cleaning up the red threads and paper cranes, Bai Wei asked the old ape to help, and asked him to order the little monkeys in the forest to go outside to help us find some dead vines and branches, and then use the dead vines and branches found by the little monkeys to weave a small platform with a diameter of about one meter and a half outside the cave entrance, which was reserved for stepping boards.
After the stepping board was braided, Bai Wei selected four dead vines about two meters in length, tied them to the corners of the four sides of the stepping board, and when they were ready, they began to ask us to help, and the paper cranes that had been tied with red thread ropes began to tie around the stepping board one by one, as well as the top of the four dead vines.
Seeing that everything was placed, Bai Wei took a deep breath, held a peach stick and began to chant the mantra, as soon as the Dharma was completed, she listened to the sound of 'hula', first a few paper cranes 'fluttered lala' and flapped their wings and took off, and then more and more paper cranes flew up, and when more than 100 paper cranes flew up, the paper cranes dragged the red rope, and the red rope dragged the footboard, and the heavy footboard was really slightly shaken and dragged into the air......
When they saw the paper crane hanging the stepping board like a 'hot air balloon', everyone was pleasantly surprised, but when they looked at Bai Wei again, they saw that she was panting and pale, obviously in order to do this ritual, her own consumption was not small.
But before I could ask if it mattered, Bai Wei was the first to run to the stepping board that was hung up by the paper crane, and then turned her head to us with a stern face and shouted: "Don't delay, come up, let's go!" ”
When I folded paper cranes, I couldn't bear it, as soon as I heard Bai Wei shouting, I immediately jumped on the stepping board, and then the three girls and Xiaofei also supported the vines tied to the edge of the stepping board and stood up one after another, not to mention, don't look at those paper cranes are not big, more than a hundred together, the strength is really not small, even if the four of us are standing on the stepping board, the stepping board is still not pressed by us to sink the slightest.
After everyone stood up, Bai Wei looked at Chen Yuejin, who had been hiding in the entrance of the cave and didn't dare to make a sound, and shouted, "Chen Yuejin, what are you still rubbing?" Why don't you hurry up? ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuejin trembled with fright, pointed to his nose and muttered: "I, I'm going too?" Little master, I don't have the ability to subdue demons and subdue demons, and I can't help you if I go, so it's better to let me stay, I'm here to cheer you on......"
"Less nonsense, what are our chances of winning without you?"
Bai Wei glared, and said: "That magic array is based on the bones of monkeys killed by your ancestors and grandchildren for three generations, so as soon as you enter the forest tonight, those red-eyed monkeys will be the first to attack you, and I still expect you to help us clear the monkeys in the way in the demon array, you can't go!" ”
"Then, wouldn't I be dead and alive?" Chen Yuejin grinned and trembled, and hesitated.
Bai Wei snorted coldly: "Don't speak so slowly, it's just a lifetime of nine deaths at most......"
"So, what if you don't go?"
"Not going? The old ape's mana can't keep you for long, if you don't go, not only will you die and die, but your seven aunts and eight aunts, the whole village, and even the surrounding ten miles and eight towns may have to give you a funeral! ”
"Okay, fight!"
Hearing this, Chen Yuejin finally raised his courage, glared and gritted his teeth, and jumped out of the hole and jumped on the pedal......
Seeing that the people were complete, Bai Wei pinched the trick and recited the mantra, and the more than 100 paper cranes dragging the pedals suddenly swayed and floated into the air, only to hear Bai Wei shout to the old ape standing at the entrance of the cave: "Old ape, everything is going according to plan, and the rest of the things are up to you!" Tonight, our lives and deaths are in your hands......"
