Chapter 2: Ascending Dragon Land, Section 25 - Those who do good deeds do not calculate life and death (Part 1)
After everything was ready, Lao Gao's big Toyota truck slowly drove over from a distance.
We've already communicated with the deputy captain, and we've made the worst-case scenario. If the five of us go in and fail to come out, then the three people outside must hold on until dawn and quickly retreat to the Golden Temple. As for what happens after arriving at the Golden Temple, it's estimated that the deputy captain will never be able to leave this place again! Unless someone else kills all the Rakshas by Half-Dragon's side, but that's almost impossible! Once successful, although the human-turned-dragon has improved a lot in essence, under the heavens, it's still not a complete dragon, and its luck won't last long. Only Rakshas and dragons are symbiotic bodies, so they can only hold on until the poor old half-human half-dragon who hasn't been seen here yet thoroughly dies, and then the deputy captain will be able to see daylight again.
Old Gao arrived, and after seeing Gaoni get off the bus, he pulled down another scarecrow of about the same size as hers. Later, Wen Yi also found a scarecrow to hug. Finally, the deputy captain personally came to find one and handed out a walkie-talkie in front of everyone. This was for the final preparations.
After testing the intercom, Mr. Tai Yi said: "Three little friends outside, in a while Lao Dao will apply some magic to you separately, so that you can control the straw man. But remember, absolutely cannot leave the Seven Star Town Soul Array. Understand?"
Three of them nodded in understanding, and then Mr. Tai Yi continued to instruct us: "Leaf Xiao You and Yang Xiao You must remember that no matter what happens on our side, even if we see someone lying dead on the ground halfway, don't bother with anyone. We must find the location of the Tianchi Pool. This Ba Gua mirror has been divided into five parts by my clever technique. As long as one of us reaches it smoothly and puts one corner of this treasure into the Tianchi Pool, we can reverse the situation and turn life into death in the Ba Gua Tianchi! Moreover, the pattern of a group of tigers devouring a dragon will be formed. At that time, the Yin soldiers will be led by us to come, and everything will be turned over in an instant, letting them perish!"
"What should we do when the vanguard arrives?" I asked.
Mr. Tai Yi raised his head towards the sky and said calmly: "At that time, it will all depend on your personal luck."
Mr. Tai Yi's cold humor did not get everyone's recognition, and this time it was all luck, which already explains the danger. However, facing such a situation, no one chose to retreat. Just like Mr. Tai Yi said in "Tai Yi's Divination" at the end: This way, for those who are good, do not care about life and death, wealth and honor, for those who are evil, must be punished by hell.
I was arranged to be at the position of Gen on Representative Mountain, which is located at the southwest gate of Longteng Community. However, I was worried about Wen Yi's safety, so I requested to confirm her safety before going.
Followed Wen Yi's sister to her position, first was the seven-star-shaped soul-fixing array that had been placed earlier.
Master Tai Yi had Wen Yi sit cross-legged on a mat that was already prepared, pierced the tip of her index finger with both hands, and according to Master Tai Yi's teachings, she carefully applied her own blood to the straw man's body.
When Wen Yi finished applying the makeup, Mr. Tai Yi said to make her cry and mix her tears with her blood to apply on the eye area. To ensure safety, Mr. Tai Yi tied a black cat cage to the straw man's arm before letting him sit cross-legged in front of Sister Wen Yi.
After doing all this, tie a red thread on the right foot of the scarecrow and tie the other end to the sister's ankle.
Then Mr. Tai Yi took out a small purple bronze bell, the crisp sound of which was particularly jarring in this quiet night.
"This is the Soul Beckoning Bell. In a moment, I will pull one of the female donor's three souls and seven spirits into the substitute body. This bell will remain on the substitute scarecrow. If there is a problem, the bell will stop ringing, and the donor's soul will shrink inside, without being harmed. Just wait until dawn, when the donor shouts 'Soul Return' three times, she can be fine."
"After saying this, Mr. Tai Yi continued: 'These seven candles on the side are corresponding to the stars of the heavenly dipper, no matter what, before one's soul and spirit return to their rightful place, they cannot leave this place, remember this well.'"
Every time she was handed over, Wen Yixue would nod seriously.
When everything was handed over, Mr. Tai Yi gestured for Wen Yixue to close her eyes.
At this time, Mr. Tai Yi wore a Taoist robe, with long hair flowing, and somehow lit up the seven specially made white wax candles in an instant.
As the candle burns, Mr. Tai Yi's index and middle fingers are clasped together, his fingers forming a sword, slanting to correspond with the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky. His feet tread an unusual pace, like a fish leaping, a leopard lurking, or a hare darting, a strange pace that secretly conforms to the natural laws of heaven. It makes people who see it feel a sudden shock, and this one thing not only has mysterious and profound skills within, but also has a beauty that leaps before one's eyes.
As Mr. Tai Yi's jumping, the red line on the ground seemed to come alive, like an electrocardiogram pulse line, constantly jumping. Slowly, the scarecrow in front of Wen Yi began to move slowly, no! It was moving! First, the neck slowly led the head to twist. As the red line jumped more frequently and quickly, the frequency of the scarecrow's movement also gradually increased.
When Mr. Tai Yi's last jump stopped behind the scarecrow, his fingers, which had been clenched into a sword, pointed at the scarecrow's head... and it came to life!
The bloodstains on the scarecrow's face formed eyes that glowed with a bloody light, making my legs weak. If I didn't know that Wen Yi's soul was inside, I think I would have collapsed to the ground already. This scene would be terrifying for anyone who saw it.
I called out tentatively: "Wen Yixue senior?"
The scarecrow nodded, although he came back to life, his movements were still very slow and stiff, not as smooth as a human.
The straw man's Wen Yi academic sister wanted to lift her hand and do something, Mr. Tai Yi said: "This method can last for 12 hours, after the hour is over, it must be returned to its original position."
Master Tai Yi squatted down and removed the red string entwined around the scarecrow's wrist, wrapping it around Wen Yi's body as she sat on the ground. He said: "Little friend, remember where the red string is. You can only see and hear now, but you cannot use any other senses. You also cannot see your own physical body, but you can see this red string, which must be very clear in your eyes right now. Remember, if there's a problem, retreat back into the copper bell on your chest, and you must return to your original position by dawn. Do you see that red line leading from the main gate? Follow it as you walk in. Don't worry about anything, just bring your human aura with you as you enter, and keep walking without stopping for half an hour. I'll cast a spell on myself to ensure you can proceed unimpeded. Remember, everything you see is fake! Whatever you do, don't get angry, and don't lose your rationality."

Today's first update. Recently, friends have been saying to start a group chat. I want to know how many friends who truly follow this book are willing to join the group. I'll create a post in the review section, and friends who are willing to join please leave a message inside (no duplicates). If there are more than 50 people, I'll create a group for everyone to communicate with each other. Is that okay? Hehe, after all these years, I've never had my own reader group before, and I really hope to have a crowded one! At least it's convenient, right? Asking for votes, asking for points, asking for something is more convenient. Otherwise, I'll be shouting here every day. Yeah, updated, asking for votes!
