Chapter 1213: Going Into the Water

The group went down the river for 11 miles and 73 feet and came to a remote mountain stream. The river in the valley was turbulent and quiet.

When they arrived here, it was dark, but not completely dark. There were stars in the sky, sparsely shining.

"This is it." Su Yi looked at the water in front of him with a serious face. Next to him, Uncle Feng also had a serious face.

In the eyes of the two, the turbulent water in front of them was not river water? It was clearly Yin Qi!

The Yin Qi here was so thick that it was almost liquid. Both Uncle Feng and Su Yi were awed by it.

"Mr. Huang, are you mistaken?" A Lian stretched her neck into the water curiously.

The water surface was a little turbid, and it was unclear how deep the river bottom was.

However, judging from the exposed shallows and riverbed not far away, the water here was not very deep even if it was deep.

"Such shallow water, the current is so fast, if there are corpses, they would have been washed downstream long ago!" A Lian said, "But it is possible that the corpses were dispersed, and this is just a part of it, could it be the case?"

"This kind of corpse that has been soaked in resentment for nearly a hundred years is very resilient and cannot be dispersed so easily." Uncle Feng stepped forward and stood by the river, his face serious, "The corpse must be here, the yin energy here has made the birds dare not stop here. We just walked along the way, there were so many flies and birds on the grass and trees by the river, but when we got here, we couldn't even see a mosquito. Such a big resentment is not something that ordinary ghosts can emit."

"But what A Lian said is not unreasonable. The river here is so turbulent, and the corpse should continue to flow downstream." Su Yi said, "The stones here are all pebbles, which can't stop such a big corpse. Unless... there may be another world under the river, there may be a water cave inside."

Uncle Feng nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Su Yi's guess.

"That means its body must be here?" Xiao Ming said, "What should we do now? Should we go into the water to retrieve it?"

"We must go into the water, but ordinary people who dare to go into the water from here will die! So I have to do this." Su Yi said, "Even if I go down, it will be very risky. We must be fully prepared."

"What do you think?" Uncle Feng turned his head and asked Su Yi.

"We have to lead it to the water first." Su Yi said with a serious face, "I have prepared soul-guiding incense. We can set up the five-element magic array on the shore and trap it in the array. When the time comes, Brother Feng, you will preside over the array, and I will go into the water to retrieve its body. It would be best if I can also find the Su Seal."

Uncle Feng pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "The hope of success is not great. This ghost is intelligent. Not to mention that it is difficult to lead it up with only soul-guiding incense, even if you lead it up, the five-element magic array can only trap it for an incense stick of time. Can you guarantee that you can find its body within an incense stick of time? If you can't find it by the time, it will be difficult for you to deal with it in the water, and it will be dangerous. It's very big. Even if you can get on the shore, it will be extremely difficult to trick it. "

"I don't know what advice you have, Brother Feng?" Su Yi smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I only know three formations, one is the Five Elements Formation, one is the Eight Diagrams Formation, and one is the Two-Yin Reversal Formation. I don't know any more."

The Five Elements Formation is a formation for subduing demons and monsters, the Eight Diagrams Formation is a formation for converting and sealing demons, and as for the Two-Yin Reversal Formation, it is actually a trick similar to "ghost wall". Setting up this formation can prevent ghosts from finding themselves and the people they want to protect temporarily, and the duration is also within an incense stick.

"It's not your fault." Uncle Feng said, "I have an idea, which is similar to your idea, but it uses more things. One is the belly and back seal, and the other is the Seven Star Soul Nailing Formation. I wonder if you know it?"

"I've never heard of it." Su Yi shook his head.

"The belly and back seal is a small mechanism, come closer." Uncle Feng waved to Su Yi.

Chu Renmei is different from those evil ghosts who are muddleheaded and have only instincts and resentment. It has intelligence, so the plan to deal with it cannot be heard by it.

Uncle Feng first pinched a hand gesture to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, and then lowered his voice to Su Yi and said: "This belly and back seal is actually two things, one is called the evil seal, and the other is called the soul-binding talisman. The evil seal is the only magic weapon for exorcising ghosts. With this seal, even the ghost in the water cannot get close to you. Once it gets close to your body, it will be bounced away immediately! But it will become ineffective after being used seven times."

"As for the soul-binding talisman, as the name suggests, it can trap ghosts in this talisman. But this talisman also has defects, that is, it can only trap ghosts that have been subdued and have no resistance, and this thing can only trap ghosts for one stick of incense..."

"The reason why this soul-binding talisman and the evil seal can be combined into one, becoming the belly and back seal, is because these two can be used as a matching temporary after being sacrificed by a special method. Magical weapon. The usage of this belly and back seal is also very simple. First, place the soul-binding talisman in a fixed position, and then you go into the water with the evil-suppressing seal. The ghost cannot get close to you and will be bounced away seven times. "

"As long as you stand opposite the soul-binding talisman within a distance of three feet from the soul-binding talisman once, and sandwich the ghost between the evil-suppressing seal and the soul-binding talisman, you can directly seal the ghost into the soul-binding talisman! "

"But you must remember that if you turn your back to the soul-binding talisman, even if you and the ghost are within three feet of the soul-binding talisman, but you activate the evil-suppressing seal, the evil-suppressing talisman will not be activated. You must stand within three feet of the soul-binding talisman and face the soul-binding talisman directly. You can deviate from a certain angle, but not too much, otherwise it will easily fail. And the ghost must stand between you and the soul-binding talisman. "

"As long as this ghost is sealed, you should immediately take this ghost ashore. Let's work together to set up a seven-star nail soul array to completely trap it in the array. It will no longer be able to sense the outside world. Then you can easily go into the water. Find its body and the seal. When the time comes, Xiao Ming will go down to help you, and there won’t be any danger anymore!”

Su Yi listened with rapt attention, and when Uncle Feng finished speaking, he immediately asked: "What is the use of this seven-star soul-nailing array?"

"Do you know about Qiguan? Do you know about locking Qiguan?" Uncle Feng asked.

"I know," Su Yi nodded, "The seven levels correspond to the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Locking the seven levels is to create an absolute realm, which will drain out the yang and yin energy in the realm..."

Su Yi was startled when he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a breath and said: "Could it be that this Seven-Star Nailed Soul Formation is the formation that locks the seven levels?"

"That's right." Uncle Feng nodded, "It's just using the principle of locking seven passes to set up the formation."

"But as far as I know, the Seven Locks can only be arranged in an absolutely sealed coffin. The main reason is to prevent the unjust death of a person from transforming into a corpse or a ghost. Moreover, the Yin and Yang must be eliminated first, and the contents of the coffin must be evacuated. Even if you are angry, you still have to bury the coffin underground and hang it in the air, and paint the sides of the tomb with quicklime." Su Yi frowned.

"You even know this?" Uncle Feng said in surprise, "You are right, the Seven Locks Pass was indeed like this at the earliest. However, the Seven-Star Nailed Soul Formation created by our senior Maoshan using this principle can only eliminate Yin, and will not eliminate Yin. Yang, you can only set up the formation on a night with a bright moon and few stars, not during the day or when you can't see the stars. There is no need to dig a tomb, let alone a completely closed coffin."

Uncle Feng pointed at the sky: "Although the stars are not very clear today, they are there at least. Setting up this seven-star nail soul array is definitely enough. As long as you trap it with the abdominal and back seals, bring it up, and we will trap it again." In the Seven-Star Nailed Soul Formation, most of this matter has been completed today.”

Su Yi nodded slowly, understanding what Uncle Feng meant.

The so-called "mostly completed" means that if Chu Renmei's bones and the ancient seal are not found, then Chu Renmei's resentment cannot be resolved, and the only option is to directly seal the Seven Star Nailed Soul Formation and let it disappear into ashes.

This can be regarded as a guarantee for today's battle against demons.

Of course, the best result is to find the Su seal and bones, and seal Chu Renmei's resentment in her bones. In this way, Chu Renmei can be directly sent to be reincarnated.

This is the happiest ending.

Compared with Su Yi's method, Uncle Feng's method is obviously more rigorous, more ingenious, friendlier to Su Yi, and has a higher success rate.

This is not to say that Su Yi is not smart, but because he is limited by his knowledge.

Just like when we don't know the rule of three seven twenty-one, we can only get the answer by adding three plus seven times.

However, Su Yi still made additions to this plan.

"It's better to put the soul-inducing incense on the shore. It can be used as a confusion and a target!" Su Yi said slightly, "This will make it easier for me to build a plank road to sneak into the warehouse secretly, and it will be easier to lure it into being deceived."

After a pause, he asked again: "Is the Soul Binding Talisman waterproof?"

"Just wrap it tightly in plastic. I brought a plastic bag and tape." Uncle Feng said, "I know there is waterproof paper and waterproof ink. I'm already doing experiments. Maybe we won't have to go to such trouble in the future. We can Just draw the waterproof symbol.”

"Brother Feng, keep up the good work." Su Yi resisted the urge to complain.

He once read a short story about a villain who had been cultivating for hundreds of years and came out to capture the enemy's son, forcing the enemy to hand over the secret book of cultivating immortality that he dreamed of.

As a result, the enemy led him into a trap that was arranged in advance. Explosives, spells, high-voltage electricity, and machine guns were used to output violent firepower, which reduced the villain to smithereens and left his soul behind.

After the killing, he called his son: "Son, are you still there? Are you cold?"

"I'm fine dad, I'm just a little hungry. Remember to bring me a piece of braised chicken when you come."

"Okay son, then send me your location and I will pick you up now."

"Well, okay, the mobile signal is good, there are four squares in the wilderness... Dad, why do you think there are still such evil people now? They kidnapped me and didn't even take my mobile phone?"

"He is from the Ming Dynasty and has been cultivating in the mountains for hundreds of years. What does he know about a mobile phone? How does he know what the outside world has developed like?"

"..."

It can be seen that spiritual practice must also keep pace with the times. If you work behind closed doors, you will suffer big losses.

Back to business.

Uncle Feng had prepared the talismans and seals in advance, and there were many small things in the suitcase he brought.

He also took out a bunch of bones, waved them in front of Su Yi and said, "This is the base of the formation that will be set up later."

Su Yi stared at the string of bones for a while and said, "Is this a chicken crow bone?"

"That's right, it's the cock crow bone." Uncle Feng said with a smile. He was very proud that he could pull out some needed gadgets at any time like magic.

The so-called crowing bone is the very small bone that connects the rooster's lower jaw and neck.

According to Taoists, roosters are animals with strong yang energy. Rooster blood and black dog blood are often used as props to drive away evil spirits. Even ordinary people can use them to a certain extent.

But in fact, the most yang-y part of the rooster is the crowing bone.

When the rooster sings, the world becomes white. The rooster crows in front of the rising sun every day, absorbing the first ray of yang energy every day. Therefore, its yang energy is very heavy. Over time, the crowing bones on its neck and lower jaw have become... The part with the strongest yang energy.

As the old saying goes, kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.

But why kill chickens instead of rabbits, geese, or even cattle and sheep?

There is a reason for this.

Monkeys are very intelligent animals, and they are extremely sensitive to breath. Killing chickens in front of monkeys is not because monkeys are afraid of seeing chickens being killed, but because the rooster's majestic yang energy suddenly disappears, which is more shocking to monkeys than seeing chickens being killed.

If you kill other animals in front of monkeys, the shock is actually far less than killing roosters.

After the rooster dies, its yang energy will not only dissipate with blood and life, but also a considerable part will shrink into its crowing bones.

After the practitioners get its crowing bones, they use special techniques to sacrifice, seal or even strengthen the yang energy contained in it, and then form the materials for setting up formations or making magic tools.

The crowing bones will be used later. Uncle Feng just mentioned it and put it aside. He quickly found two more things and put them in Su Yi's hands. They are the two-piece set of "belly and back seals".

One of the evil-suppressing talismans is a small square seal carved from peach wood, tied with a red rope. It feels heavy when you hold it in your hand, and you can tell at a glance that it is not simple.

The soul-binding talisman is a purple talisman, which is obviously also a borrowing talisman. Su Yi and Uncle Feng worked together to quickly put it into a plastic bag and sealed it with tape, completing its waterproof outer layer.

After doing this, Su Yi was ready to go into the water.

"This water and electricity is also waterproof, you take it." Uncle Feng handed the flashlight to Su Yi, "I haven't used the battery many times, it should be enough for you."

"Fire and earth, the water is the home of the ghost, it will be omnipresent below, you must not be brave." Uncle Feng said solemnly, "It has not reacted to our arrival until now, obviously it is fearless and doesn't think we can do anything to it. You have to be careful, no one knows if it has other means below!"

"Don't worry, there is only one life, I won't joke about my own life." Su Yi was also very serious. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually extremely tense inside.

He knew very well how difficult Chu Renmei was to deal with. Even though he had prepared so much, the danger was still great.

"Mr. Huang, be careful."

"Come on, Mr. Huang!"

"Mr. Huang, be careful..."

Everyone cheered for Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled and nodded. He lit the soul-guiding incense and stuck it on the grass on the shore, then took a deep breath and walked into the turbulent river...
