Chapter 113 Seven Skeleton Formation
"Master, I saw a puppet!"
Li Daoxuan recalled the scene he had seen before and still felt a lingering fear.
"The puppet's facial features are stiff, it must be made of stone, but its eyes and hands can move, and it even wants to pull me underground!"
In fact, Li Daoxuan possessed the magical power of earth walking, so he was not afraid of fighting with him underground, but this matter was strange, so he did not want to act rashly and wanted to ask his master for clarity before making a decision.
Hearing Li Daoxuan's description, Zhang Qianyang's pupils condensed and he revealed a look of "as expected".
"Humph, that's not made of stone. It's made of human bones ground into powder, mixed with clay and burned!"
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. Grinding human bones into powder?
Zhang Qianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something. After a moment of silence, he said, "If my guess is correct, a large formation has been set up here, called the Seven Skeleton Formation!"
"Seven Skeleton Formation..."
Li Daoxuan's expression changed, and he said, "Seven Skeleton Formation... Could it be that there are seven puppets like that?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said, "The Seven Skeleton Formation, also known as the Fire Sin Formation, is an extremely evil formation that has been lost!"
"This formation is extremely vicious. You need to find seven people born in the Yin year, Yin month and Yin time, and then torture them to death in an extremely cruel way, turning them into evil spirits. Then grind their bones into powder, mix them with clay and make human dolls. Bury them under a locust tree or a banyan tree according to the formation's orientation."
"When the seven lights are formed, the evil spirits will be imprisoned in it. Those who mistakenly enter this formation will often hear various sounds and see various illusions. Once they turn around, the three lights will go out and they will be attacked by the seven ghosts at the same time."
"These are nothing. The greatest function of the Seven Skeletons Formation is to use the resentment of the seven ghosts to communicate yin and yang, so that the space in the formation is neither in the world of the living nor in the world of the dead, but in a very special place where yin and yang intersect."
Zhang Qianyang said in a deep voice: "So once you turn back, even if the seven ghosts can't do anything to you, you will lose your way and sink into that special land, and it will be difficult to return to the world of the living."
Li Daoxuan secretly thanked his luck that he did not look back.
"Master, why did the other party spend so much effort to set up such a large formation?"
Zhang Qianyang's eyes narrowed, and he sighed, "Perhaps he did this to conceal the secret, so that he could take the opportunity to raise the corpse!"
He hesitated for a moment, but still did not hide the truth from his apprentice, saying, "Hundreds of years ago, the corpse-driving lineage once raised a drought demon. When the drought demon appeared, the land was scorched for a thousand miles, and the heaven and earth could not tolerate it. Therefore, before Fei Jiang became a drought demon, he must have been struck by thunder and died a narrow escape!"
Li Daoxuan's heart skipped a beat. Could someone actually raise a thing like Hanba?
Zombies are divided into four levels: white zombies, black zombies, flying zombies and drought demons, which correspond to the four realms of cultivation.
When one reaches the level of Hanba, he can already fight against real dragons and is comparable to gods and Buddhas!
"Master, since there is thunder in the sky, how did the corpse-driving lineage raise the drought demon?"
Zhang Qianyang looked at him and uttered a word.
"Rely on a formation that conceals the secrets of heaven."
Li Daoxuan blurted out: "Seven Skeleton Formation?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded: "Yes, it is the Seven Skeletons Formation. The space where the Seven Skeletons Formation is located is very special. Even the thunder from the sky cannot fall on it. It is just right for the flying zombie to transform in it and become the body of the drought demon!"
After a pause, he sighed and said, "According to the records in ancient books, the battle was extremely tragic. Countless masters of Buddhism and Taoism were killed or injured. Then, the gods and Buddhas disappeared, the underworld was in chaos, and ghosts wreaked havoc on the world of the living. As a result, our Taoist sect was unable to subdue the ghosts, and the barbarian wizards took advantage of the chaos to invade, which led to the turmoil of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China!"
Li Daoxuan remained silent. He had also heard about that period of history. It was truly a catastrophe for China, with bones exposed in the wild and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!
"Master, could it be that the man wants to raise another Hanba?"
Zhang Qianyang shook his head and said, "Even if we have the Seven Skeleton Formation, it is not easy to raise a drought demon. By the way, how tall is the puppet you saw?"
Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "It's about five feet high."
He has the third eye, so naturally he would not be wrong and his vision was very accurate.
Hearing this, Zhang Qianyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that we discovered it not too late. The Seven Skeletons Formation cannot exist forever. The puppet is initially six feet tall, and every three months, it will decrease by one foot. After eighteen months, it will automatically dissipate."
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and he said, "So, this formation has only been set up for three months?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and smiled, "It will take at least a year for a flying zombie to become a drought demon, so we still have plenty of time."
"In that case, Master, quickly break this formation, and let's go in together and kill that flying zombie!"
Zhang Qianyang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really think your master is omnipotent?"
"This Seven Skeletons Formation is very complicated. I need to think carefully before I can find a way to break it. Otherwise, if we rush in rashly, we may all get lost at the junction of yin and yang."
At this time, Chen Ziyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"When the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Qingyi Lady should have been there too. Why don't you go ask her?"
Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "Yes, maybe the queen also participated in the operation to kill Hanba. We can ask her about this matter first."
Lady Qingyi has lived from the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the present day and has witnessed all kinds of storms. Perhaps she will know more detailed information.
Breaking the Seven Skeletons Formation is not a one-day task. The two men and one ghost memorized the location and returned to Qingniu Temple.
He saw that his master had no intention of sleeping anymore. He sat on the ground and wrote and drew with a branch , obviously thinking hard about how to break the Seven Skeletons Formation.
Sister Yu returned to the oil-paper umbrella and leaned quietly in the corner.
Li Daoxuan glanced at her, then took out the Qingming Order, extracted the well water, and prepared to contact the Qingyi Lady.
Well, for some reason, I always feel like I'm video chatting with other women behind my girlfriend's back...
Especially after experiencing such a beautiful .
But before he could pour well water on it, the Qingming Order began to heat up and a faint mist floated out. A graceful figure was looming in the mist.
There was a hint of surprise in Li Daoxuan's eyes.
It has been such a long time since the Queen got the Qingming Order, but this is the first time she has taken the initiative to contact him.
…
More than 100 miles away from Longyou County, there is Jianglang Mountain and Yaowang Village.
It was late at night and every household had their doors closed. Although it was summer, no one dared to open even the windows.
The whole village was in deathly silence.
In a simple farmhouse, a candle was still lit.
A village woman knelt in the inner room, clasped her hands together, and kowtowed devoutly to the female statue on the shrine until blood marks appeared on her forehead.
Her young daughter was so frightened watching this scene that she hid in a corner and trembled.
In the light smoke, the statue had a beautiful face, pure and ethereal. It stood on a ninth-grade lotus pedestal, with its slender jade hands stretched out, on which sat a lovely lark.
"I, Zhao, a commoner, kowtow to the Green-robed Goddess and beg her to bless me and my child so that we can escape from here tonight, in consideration of my devout worship day and night."
"Escape from this hellish village!"
