Chapter 67: Breaking the Formation

The magnetic field of the commercial street construction site has been broken by my cousin, and the evil energy has been dispersed by Dong Jing. The only thing to do now is to look at the two steles.

If we hadn't uncovered those two tombstones, I would probably never have understood what it meant to have two nests of snakes and rats.

Logically speaking, the Chinese New Year is only two days away.

Under normal circumstances, snakes should hibernate.

However, because the magnetic field of the construction site has changed, the snake here has also found a suitable and comfortable temperature.

So the snake under the monument huddled together with the mice and was not in hibernation at all.

It's not so difficult for my cousin and I because we both grew up in the village and are used to seeing snakes, rats and the like.

But Dong Jing grew up in the city.

When she saw so many snakes and rats under the monument, she screamed.

"Xiaojie, take Dongjing to the back, and then come over to help me."

Listening to my cousin's words, I felt confused.

When I turned around, I found that Dong Jing's legs were shaking with fear, and it was impossible to let her walk by herself.

I supported her and brought her safely to a place where there were no snakes or rats, and then I returned to my cousin.

"I haven't tried it, so I don't know how to do it here."

I really don't understand it, and I haven't even seen this situation in a book.

As for how I knew that there were people practicing Taoism here, it was because I heard it from the older generation in the village.

"Look at their eyes, they are all glowing red. I guess the people who trained them are almost done."

My cousin frowned, and I knew this was not going to be easy.

"What will happen if he succeeds in practicing it?" I was a little confused.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that he has a ghost in his heart, which makes him always think that if he can master the art of Sanxian, he will become rich. Anyone who can master the art of Sanxian is very scheming. What I am most afraid of is that this person will kill people everywhere just because he wants to master the art of Sanxian."

My cousin’s words sent a chill down my spine.

According to him, this person is most likely related to the fire at the construction site two or three years ago.

"It's not very likely, but definitely. The fire two or three years ago was probably man-made, and the one who set the fire was probably this immortal practitioner."

After hearing this, I didn’t dare to speak anymore.

I have absolutely no exposure to this area.

This is also my blind spot in knowledge.

My cousin looked very nervous, his forehead was covered with blood. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, and his hand was shaking as he lit it.

"How can I help?" I asked.

"There are too many," said my cousin. "What we need to do now is to break his formation. But there are so many rats and snakes here. It might be dangerous later. Let me smoke a cigarette and calm down. You'd better be mentally prepared. It will be a tough battle later ."

My cousin was smoking next to me and asked me to draw a formation totem near the stele.

According to my cousin, this formation is quite special.

This time we will place the snake and the mouse in the middle of the formation.

My cousin told me that he wouldn't want to kill any living beings if possible.

But those animals have a lot of yin energy, and we must help purify them.

As for the results of the purification, it depends on whether the color of their eyes has changed.

It would naturally be a good thing if the eyes could turn back into those of ordinary animals.

But if we can't change back, we have to burn these evil things with fire.

But I’ve heard from the older generation in the village that the Five Immortals tend to hold grudges.

Even if we burn them to death in a fire, their descendants will not let us go.

I still believe this statement

So I was trembling with fear, and kept praying in my heart that my cousin would succeed.

Otherwise, we are likely to be in debt.

It is easy to owe money, but if we owe it today, it will be a hidden debt.

Yin debts are the hardest to pay off, and I don’t know if I can pay them off in this lifetime.

It's certainly a good thing to have paid it off.

But if they can't finish their work, their graves will probably be dug up by their descendants after they are buried in the ground.

While I was daydreaming, I drew the totem.

I have seen my cousin set up formations countless times, and I have tried it two or three times myself. It is not difficult for me to draw a formation totem.

When I was drawing the totem, my cousin had already finished smoking his cigarette.

He took out black glutinous rice from his treasure bag, and I followed his example and took out some black grains from my treasure bag.

These things can help us drive away evil spirits.

I also kept my all-purpose saber within easy reach.

If it doesn't work, I still have blood.

After all, my blood can be modified by my grandmother, and it is also a good thing to drive away evil spirits.

"I'm going to start, kid, learn it."

My cousin looked at me, said something, and then started reciting the formula.

"All evil spirits in all directions retreat quickly. Master Wen is about to start performing a ritual."

After he said this, he took out the yellow paper from his treasure bag.

I saw him muttering to himself and drawing on two pieces of yellow paper with a cinnabar pen.

Although I am not very knowledgeable, I can roughly understand this.

The two pieces of yellow paper were used to suppress the two steles.

Sure enough, he took the written yellow paper and walked closer to the formation.

My cousin pasted the yellow paper on the two tombstones, still muttering something I couldn't understand.

"Clear wind, breaking water, shallow moon, gentleness, picking stars, nurturing spirits, following the flow."

Halfway through the reading, my cousin took out a bottle of Erguotou.

He took a sip of the wine in his mouth, took out a yellow paper with nothing on it, burned it, and then spat the Erguotou in his mouth towards the snake's monument.

"Qianqiu, on Dongshan Island, there are eight formations, namely Qingfeng, Duanshui, and Qianyue."

He recited halfway again, and used the same method to spray the liquid in his mouth on the mouse's tombstone.

"Yirou, Zhaixing, Yuling, Zhuliu, Qianqiu."

Suddenly, my cousin fell silent.

I couldn't tell whether he had finished reading or not. The wind nearby had stopped and the silence was so frightening.

"break!"

Boom!

As my cousin shouted, thunder suddenly sounded above our heads.

I looked up and saw lightning.

But unfortunately, the moonlight above my head was bright and there was not a single cloud in the sky.

I half squinted my eyes, wondering what was going on.

Before I could figure it out, my cousin suddenly reached out and pulled me back.
