Chapter 90: Ghost Locking Formation
The next day, I brought a ghost-catching bag to the teahouse, intending to hand the evil ghost inside over to Taoist Chen for disposal.
Sister Liu raised the bag with her left hand and flicked the bag with her right hand: "Just this thing, how could it harm so many people?"
The little ghost in the bag sensed Liu Yu's full malice and began to punch and kick in the ghost bag.
I shook my head. "I'm not sure, but I saw this ghost when I went to the mall that day, so I caught it. I'll ask it after most of the resentment in it is gone, and see if it's willing to tell me."
"also."
Speaking of this, I remembered the evil ghost child that I gave to Taoist Chen last time.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Chen said before that we need to use purification talismans to purify some of the evil spirit in the evil ghost child. How is it going now?"
Sister Liu waved her hands helplessly: "I heard that a lot of it was purified, but that little devil is still very fierce. He bites everyone he sees, like a little mad dog. No matter what you ask him, he won't say anything."
A bold idea suddenly occurred to me: "You said... if I can empathize with it, can I explore its memory..."
Before I could finish my words, Sister Liu patted my shoulder heavily and said, "Wake up! That's an evil ghost that has devoured several souls! Not to mention whether the ghosts still have memories of being human after they develop ghost consciousness, their resentment and anger are enough to make you suffer! You actually want to explore their memories, aren't you afraid that you will be disturbed by the anger and go insane!"
I said angrily: "This purification talisman can basically purify most of it..."
Liu Yu glared at me sideways, and I was so scared that I swallowed the words "You can try" and closed my mouth.
In addition to the conference hall, there are many rooms in the back hall of the teahouse.
Sister Liu said that the room was filled with evil ghosts who were still obsessed with their thoughts, and the room was set up with many formations to prevent these evil ghosts who could not enter the gate of hell and were full of resentment and anger from doing evil in the human world.
"These evil ghosts only survived because they met King Xie. If they met King Miao who governs the southwest, he would beat the evil ghosts to death immediately. He would not waste his faith to purify the endless resentment generated by them like King Xie did!"
According to the depth of resentment, it is divided into three levels from shallow to deep: level one, level two and level three.
"In fact, there are also fourth-level evil ghosts, but this kind of evil ghost can basically not be brought back." Sister Liu said solemnly:
"Level 4 evil ghosts are very powerful and their intelligence is no different from that of ordinary people. They are no longer satisfied with just devouring ghosts, but as long as they are ghosts they cannot see the sun, so the more powerful the ghosts are, the more they want to become human again."
"Can you turn into a human?" I was surprised.
"Possession." Liu Yu paused: "They will take advantage of the moment when a person's energy is weak and seize the opportunity to possess the body of a living person. If they can hide from the laws of heaven, they can even live on as a living person. Therefore, if you see a level 4 evil ghost, you must kill it."
"What level of evil ghost is that evil ghost boy?"
I'm curious.
"Level 1. Barely considered one of the better ones in Level 1." Sister Liu said nonchalantly.
Can it be considered only a first-level evil ghost?
Sister Liu took me through a long corridor, along which there were at least a dozen rooms.
When they reached the last room, Sister Liu pointed and said, "The man with the paralyzed face is in there. I have something else to do. You can go in by yourself."
I took the deformed little devil I caught at the mall and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
I pushed open the door and what caught my eye were two rows of antique display cabinets. There was a bag in each compartment, and the contents of many of the bags were moving, making the bags into different shapes.
Taoist Chen was sitting in the middle of the room, his hands moving non-stop, drawing patterns in the air, his vital energy fluctuating, forming a formation.
The vital energy kept dispersing and moving around the room along a specific trajectory.
After a while, the fluctuations of the vitality in the room stopped, and beads of sweat appeared on Taoist Chen's forehead. Taoist Chen: "Can you tell what kind of formation is set up?"
"Ghost Locking Formation." I have recognized it: "It seems to be a little different from the ordinary Ghost Locking Formation."
I'm a little unsure again.
Ghost Locking Formation.
The traditional ghost-locking formation is based on the principle that yin objects like yin and fear yang. 28 copper coins are placed around the yin objects to simulate the 28 constellations. Because the copper coins have been through thousands of hands and are stained with human vitality, they are yang, so 28 copper coins are used as the boundary of the formation to make the locked evil ghosts think that the area outside the range drawn by the copper coins is the yang world, so they shrink in the formation and dare not go out.
This formation itself has no killing power against evil spirits, it just traps them, but the formation in front of him is different.
Where 28 copper wires were supposed to be placed, there are now 27 silver ingots and a small peach wood sword.
Copper coins are yang, while silver can ward off evil spirits. This turns the originally simple trap array into a trap array that has the effect of deterring evil spirits.
This small peach wood sword turned the trap into a strangulation force.
I can feel the abundant vitality in this peach wood sword, and there is a faint flash of lightning.
Taoist Priest Chen nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a transformation of the Ghost Locking Formation."
"Level 1 evil ghosts may be trapped for a while by traditional locking arrays, but level 2 and 3 evil ghosts have matured in ghost awareness and are quite smart, so they cannot be trapped by ordinary trapping arrays."
"I made some changes to this formation. Now, in addition to trapping the evil spirits inside, it can also introduce some power of faith from the outside to neutralize the resentment they generate."
"If they want to charge, I have hidden three heavenly thunderbolts in this peach wood sword. They won't kill them, but they will be inconvenient if they are touched."
I understand, it's similar to the high-voltage power grid in a prison.
"I brought another ghost today."
I took out the ghost-catching bag and released the little ghost inside.
The formation in this room has been set up, so there is no need to worry about him escaping.
This deformed little devil stayed in this bag for two days. When he saw me open the bag, he jumped out with a "whoosh".
Then it hit the high-voltage power grid with a "bang".
I:……
Young people, bah, young ghosts, are still too impulsive.
The deformed little ghost screamed in pain, and then did not dare to run around. Instead, he sat down on the ground, and his two heads began to talk.
A head: "What was that that hurt so much just now, wow wow wow!"
Another head: "I don't know either. It must be that stinky woman's doing!"
Then, the two heads turned left and right and began to look around, and even the hand on the back began to wave around.
When I saw this kid again, I still felt that he was a little... ugly and really unbearable to look at.
Taoist Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not a ghost, but a group of baby ghosts, glued together by some unknown force."
