Volume 2 Chapter 20: Eight Coffins to Suppress Ghosts
Upon hearing this, Shen Bing immediately urged me to find a solution, and smiled at Director Cui: "Xi Feng is very capable. He is guaranteed to be better than the Taoist priest from three hundred years ago."
Director Cui was so stunned by her smile that his eyes narrowed into slits as he said, "I think you are more capable. Come and sit next to me."
When Shen Bing saw his lustful behavior, she immediately glared at him and said, "I'm busy!"
I almost burst out laughing when I heard that. I pulled Shen Bing up the stairs and turned back to Director Cui and said, "The two of us will go up and find a way to deal with these five ghosts. Please go ahead."
Director Cui's words inspired me. Although there is a difference between life and death in the world of the living and the underworld, all things are inseparable from the yin and yang universe, the three realms of heaven and earth. Although gods, humans, and ghosts each have their own ways, and the immortal methods, Taoist methods, and ghost methods are separated by heaven and earth, they have something in common and can be integrated. There is a way that one method can lead to all methods. Some Taoist methods in the world of the living still use ghost methods, such as raising zombies, which is an example of borrowing evil ghost methods! Why can't I integrate Taoist methods into ghost methods?
Having learned from previous experience, I can now make the best use of my intelligence and talents.
When we got under the iron cover, Shen Bing and I sat on the steps, looking up and thinking. However, the five large basins kept banging outside, which disturbed my thoughts. I finally figured out a clue , but the banging sound disturbed it and I lost the clue again. Shen Bing was quite obedient. Seeing me trying to find a solution, she didn't say anything, just sat there with her hands on her chin and looked at me.
These five big wash basins are too powerful. I can hardly defeat them with the magic I know in the world of the living, and it is even more difficult in the underworld. In the world of the living, at least there are magic tools to help, but here, there is nothing. Besides, the spells to subdue ghosts cannot be used in the underworld. I am a ghost now. If I recite them, I can't subdue the five outside. I am afraid I will subdue myself first. Moreover, thinking about these spells now makes me feel flustered. There is really a big difference between being a ghost and being a human!
Is there anything that can repel the enemy without hurting itself? It can only be the eight coffins that suppress ghosts in our store. When I think of this, I seem to have caught something, and my mind is a little clear. There are also the Azure Dragon and White Tiger statues. After the offerings and the evil spirits, they recognize their own people. As soon as I enter the store, they start to rest, which is better than the timer switch.
The eight coffins to suppress ghosts, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger, the sacrificial talismans to ward off evil, a series of thoughts formed a line in his mind, except for this final thought.
Yes, I can set up a magic array similar to the Eight Coffins Ghost Suppression Bureau here, and form an evil spirit on the array, so that I won't hurt myself. Because coffins are used to collect ghosts, and then arranged according to the eight trigrams, the Eight Coffins Ghost Suppression Bureau has a great deterrent effect on ghosts. Coffins are Yin wood, and all wood in the underworld is Yin wood. There is no need to worry about the raw materials. The only worry is whether it will not hurt myself without the procedure of offering the talisman.
In addition, it is not known whether setting up eight coffins to suppress ghosts in the underworld will be effective.
No matter if it is powerful or not, just make it first. The iron cover has been deeply dented and is about to fall off. I hurried down the stairs and split the conference table into more than a dozen pieces. Being a ghost is good in this aspect. No tools are needed. Just use your fingers to point and draw, and you can make the wood into any shape you want.
Using the iron nails on the table, and nailing the pieces of broken wood together, eight small coffins were made in just a few minutes. The workmanship was a bit rough, but it would definitely not affect their use in rituals.
Director Cui glared and asked, "Are you planning to die again? We are already ghosts. If we die again, we can't even be ghosts. What's the point of having a coffin?"
Shen Bing followed up by saying, "Yes, and the coffin is too small to accommodate us."
I said to them angrily, "It's not for you guys, it's for rituals, stay away, don't let the magic circle hurt you by mistake."
Director Cui nodded, moved his chair and retreated to the opposite wall. Shen Bing wanted to follow me, but I pushed her to Director Cui's side. The old man smiled and said, "Beauty, don't mess around, just stay here with me."
Shen Bing jumped aside as if avoiding the plague, wrinkling her nose and said, "I am a ghost, not a beauty. You are a director, how come you don't have common sense?"
I held back my laughter and ran up the stairs. I placed the eight small coffins according to the directions of the eight trigrams and calmed my mind to get rid of the evil spirit.
The three evil spirits are Tiangang evil spirit, Yongquan evil spirit and Zhouhou evil spirit, which are often used in drawing talismans. It is said that a knife is not sharp without steel, and a talisman is not effective without evil spirits, so after drawing a talisman, you can tie the evil spirit before you can use it. The purpose of offering talismans and tying the evil spirit is to start and stop the magic circle, and you only need to tie one kind of evil spirit, which is Tiangang evil spirit.
Since ancient times, the art of tying up evil spirits has been passed down orally by teachers and never written down. When teaching disciples, they must swear not to reveal the secret. The so-called art of tying up evil spirits is to step on the magic circle and chant the spell. This spell is harmless to ghosts, so there is no need to be afraid.
Just as I started chanting the spell, the iron lid was knocked off with a clang, rolled down the steps, and broke the Eight Diagrams Ghost Suppression Bureau. Damn, how come they rushed in at this critical moment? It was really bad luck. I hurriedly bent down to put the scattered coffins in place, and before I could straighten up, five black airs were already coming down on me.
Damn it, if it penetrates my head, I'm afraid my whole body will be split into several pieces! I hurriedly dodged to the side, my feet were a little messy, and my steps were wrong, but I didn't dare to stop and recited .
The purpose of the spell formation was not only to open the magic circle, but also to communicate with my aura and activate the power of the magic circle without hurting me. Although I made a few mistakes, as soon as the spell was finished, black light immediately appeared on the eight small coffins, which was particularly dazzling in the gray environment!
At this moment, the five black airs did not penetrate my body, but circled in the air and rushed towards my chest. But once the Eight Diagrams Ghost Suppression Bureau took effect, they screamed a few times and floated out of the cave.
I couldn't help but feel happy. I didn't expect that the Eight Diagrams Ghost Suppression Bureau set up in the underworld was many times more powerful than the one in the store. It scared them away. I stretched my arms and turned around. I didn't feel anything, which meant that my Qi and the Ghost Suppression Bureau were connected, and the formation couldn't hurt me.
Looking at the eight small coffins, I realized one thing in my mind, that is, these woods are pure yin woods, much more authentic than the coffin woods in the world of the living, and the power they emit is incomparable. In addition, their hostility in the underworld will be affected, and they are not as fierce as in the world of the living.
However, looking out from the cave entrance, they were still guarding and had not left. It was impossible to leave here. The Eight Diagrams Ghost Suppression Bureau was a defensive formation, not an offensive one. If I wanted to kill these five little bastards, I had to think of other ways.
"Bumpkin, have you stopped them?" Shen Bing shouted from below and ran up the stairs. The iron cover rolled down just now, and he might have lost his patience and came up to take a look.
I was suddenly startled and turned back to shout at her, "Get down quickly..."
It was too late. She had already walked to the middle of the stairs and was affected by the black light from the magic circle. She screamed "Ah", rolled down the stairs, and kept falling.
