I nodded, and my heart was also a little scared. If I said that at the beginning of the rush corpse inn, I encountered those corpses because of confusion, not knowing anything, while facing the red-clothed fierce ghost, it was basically all about being frightened, but when I met that little girl's ghost that day, I understood.
These weird things are not simple, that day if I didn't react quickly and bit my tongue, I would have been dead by now, even thinking about it now still gives me some lingering fear.
Han Zhongshan seemed to have guessed my thoughts and smiled, saying: "If fellow Taoist has any difficulties, it's not a big deal if I don't help. I should be able to handle it alone."
"Alas." I let out a sigh and shook my head. To be honest, whether or not I got involved in this matter didn't make a difference either way.
But I can never hide from these ghosts forever, since I've decided to learn how to catch them, I must fight against them, this is a test of my skills. And Uncle Yang has been watching me grow up since I was young, so I'll see him off on his final journey.
"No need for that, Master Han, just tell me what I should do." I asked with a smile.
Han Zhongshan nodded: "Now I need to make two preparations, I will set up an array nearby, but after setting up the array, I need you to host the array eye. You can stop him from changing into a fierce ghost first, and don't let the water droplets condensed from the yin energy on his body drip onto his forehead, which may reduce the possibility of him turning into a fierce ghost."
"If he unfortunately turns into a malevolent spirit, you can lead him into the formation I set up, and then I'll deal with him. No problem, right?" asked Han Zhongshan.
I thought about it carefully and it didn't seem too dangerous, so I nodded: "No problem."
The hall was very large, and Han Zhongshan threw all the miscellaneous objects in the hall to the corner of the wall. Then, five meters away from the right side of the coffin, he took out a large-sized brush on an empty land and started drawing a symbol array with cinnabar mixed with black dog blood on the ground.
He spent about an hour drawing it, and the formation was a circular shape with a diameter of five meters, filled with talismans. Han Zhongshan pinched a finger seal in his hand and recited: "The heavens are clear, the earth is turbid, now I use my body to seek the power of turbidity, command!"
As soon as Han Zhongshan finished speaking, the talisman array on the ground flashed a faint red glow. Then he didn't move at all, but said to me: "The power of the spell has been borrowed, and I can't move now. Only when the Corpse Evil enters the formation can I use the formation to destroy it. You have to think of a way to lure it in."
Then Han Zhongshan closed his eyes and remained motionless.
I looked down at the time and it was already 9:30. I pushed open the coffin and looked inside, the corpse's face had turned black. I swallowed my saliva, damn, although I knew that not far away, Han Zhongshan had set up an array, but looking at this thing still felt very eerie.
The big clock in the living room was ticking away, and I didn't want to look at the corpse either, so I deliberately focused my attention on the clock.
It was soon 10:01, and suddenly, not far away, Han Zhongshan opened his eyes and shouted at me: "Little friend, be careful, now is the most likely time for a corpse to become a malevolent spirit, we can't afford to be careless!"
Han Zhongshan suddenly spoke up to remind me, and it still scared me a bit. This Han Zhongshan is really something, he has been motionless for almost an hour and a half now, this willpower is not something ordinary people can maintain.
I also hastily looked at the corpse in the coffin, and that coffin board had already been thrown by me several meters away, it was impossible for any water to drip onto his forehead.
Suddenly I felt something was off, I looked up and oh my god, the ceiling above the coffin was completely damp, this corpse's yin energy had actually made the entire ceiling water-stained.
My eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and a small drop of water slowly condensed on it. I hastily spread my palms to block it from falling onto the corpse's forehead.
This water droplet is also slowly gathering more and more.
Suddenly this drop of water fell from the ceiling and dripped onto the forehead of the corpse.
If it weren't for my palm, this water droplet would really have dripped onto the corpse's forehead.
This drop of water undoubtedly fell into the center of my palm.
Ouch!
This drop of water fell into the center of my palm, a surge of intense pain came from the center of my palm, and at the same time, a chill ran down to the bone, feeling as if the center of my hand had frozen.
I'm also SB, what the hell is this water? It's the gathering of resentment from the corpse, it's a huge killing object itself. I actually used my palm to block it directly, if only I knew to use something else to block it.
My left hand gripped my right wrist tightly, it hurt so much, and my forehead was also in pain with sweat dripping down.
"Be careful!" Han Zhongshan suddenly roared from behind me.
I subconsciously raised my head and looked up, and the ceiling actually had two water droplets falling down. I gritted my teeth and opened my right palm to block my forehead again, and another piercing pain came from this hand. I even felt that my right hand could no longer move, as if it were a prosthetic limb.
But another drop of water unexpectedly fell directly into the mouth of this corpse.
The corpse was originally dead with its eyes closed, but its mouth was wide open. When the drop of water fell into his mouth, his mouth instantly closed, but his eyes opened even wider.
I saw his black pupils slowly disappearing beside me, and his eyes were left with only the iris.
"Be careful, young friend!" Han Zhongshan shouted, "This corpse is going to turn into a malevolent spirit!"
I don't need him to remind me, but now my right hand feels like it's almost useless, and I can only watch helplessly as this corpse turns into a disaster with no solution.
Bang!
Suddenly the corpse shook inside the coffin. I gritted my teeth and shouted to Han Zhongshan behind me, "Master Han, what can we do now?"
"With a silver needle pierce his throat, an inch below the jaw, see if you can release this curse." Han Zhongshan roared.
"Silver needle? Where the hell am I supposed to find a silver needle?" I exclaimed anxiously.
"Don't be impatient, bring your index and middle fingers together, focus all your attention on these two fingers, I'll teach you a secret technique from Maoshan." Han Zhongshan shouted behind me.
I hastily closed my left hand's index and middle fingers, staring intently at the two fingers. Han Zhongshan behind me said: "Follow me in reciting, with blood as steel, with flesh as fortitude, nothing can withstand it, the sword in hand rises, command!"
This guy is actually from Maoshan?
I don't care about that anymore, and I don't have time to ask too much. Hurriedly, he recited: "With blood as steel, with flesh as fortitude, nothing can withstand it. The sword in my hand rises, decree!"
All my energy was focused on the two fingers of my left hand, and suddenly I felt a surge of "qi" in my left hand. This feeling is hard to describe, it's as if there was an airflow surrounding my left hand.
"My grandma, he's actually mastered the true Taoist arts. He's finally learned some special abilities. It seems that the responsibility of saving the world and maintaining cosmic peace will have to fall on my shoulders from now on."
I was also excited beyond control, and Han Zhongshan behind me shouted: "Hurry up and use the 'sword' in your hand to stab his throat."
Haha, cool! It's true that a rogue knows martial arts, and even gods can't stop me. I should be considered a rogue now, right? Why was I afraid of these guys before? Because I didn't have any special abilities, no magic to fight them off. Now I'm not afraid of anything, what's just a little zombie? In the future, will I be fighting the Zombie King or going down to Hell to fight the Ghost King? Ah, it's really a tough choice!
Well, I won't have to go far and wide anymore. Just take the small corpse in the coffin as a zombie king to experience it, and my invincible journey will begin from now on.
I'm still thinking about how to deal with this corpse, but unexpectedly, the corpse has slowly sat up. It's too late!
I suddenly felt regretful, if I hadn't been so careless earlier and had directly used my fingers to press his throat, he wouldn't have had the chance to turn unlucky, but now it's too late to think about that.
I gritted my teeth and stabbed at his throat with my left hand.
This stab didn't turn out as I had imagined, easily piercing the throat of this corpse. On the contrary, it felt like stabbing my hand into a stone, hurting so much that I'm sure I've fractured something.
My life is so bitter, why do I have such a hard fate? My right hand hurts so much that it's useless, and now that I've finally learned some magic, I rushed to cast a spell against this evil spirit and ended up breaking my own bones.
I gritted my teeth tightly, as the saying goes "ten fingers connected to the heart", it hurt so much that my forehead was covered in sweat.
At the same time, this corpse suddenly came back to its senses, stretched out both hands and directly grabbed my neck, then forcefully threw me into the coffin on the left.
This guy was incredibly strong, and I was thrown onto the table next to me. My back crashed into the corner of the table with great force, hurting so much that my whole body went limp.
"Quickly, little one! Think of a way to get into the formation or he will kill you!" Han Zhongshan bellowed.
I heard what Han Zhongshan said, and I also wanted to rush into his formation, but apart from my handsome face not being injured, I felt that my whole body was in pain, and it was difficult to walk.
The corpse slowly crawled out of the coffin, swaying and staggering towards me. His face was already swollen, feeling like it had been inflated.
The corpse's fingernails had grown to about two centimeters long, black and sharp-looking. He slowly walked towards me, stretched out his hands and stabbed at my chest.
I gritted my teeth and dodged to the side, but this corpse's right hand fingernail pierced into my left arm, and fresh blood gushed out like it was free.
I'm going, how many eggs does this blood need to eat to recover?
But now is not the time to worry about how many eggs you eat, if things go wrong, you'll be killed by this plague and sent back to the underworld for reincarnation.
Damn it, he's still a virgin after living for over a decade, and yet he can't even die.
Fortunately, my legs still had the strength, and I gritted my teeth and kicked this corpse's belly. This corpse also kicked me back two or three steps, and I stood up with all my might. Rushing in the direction of that Han Zhongshan, I ran over there.
Just ran a few meters, this corpse suddenly grabbed my shoulder from behind, making me unable to move at all.
It's no use, I feel like I've completely run out of energy. This corpse suddenly grabbed me and then a sharp pain shot through my shoulder. I turned around to see that it had actually sunk its teeth into my shoulder.
The villa's gate was suddenly kicked open and a black-clad youth rushed in, kicking the corpse into flight with one foot.
I was also knocked to the ground by inertia, I looked up and saw that the black-clad youth who came in was actually the youth with a gloomy aura on his body whom I met on the street yesterday!
