Li Leping recalled the process of Kamiri using the katana, and immediately took action after confirming that it was correct.
After pulling out the knife made of white bones, he thrust it into the incense burner in front of him.
This time.
The ashes in the furnace began to squirm, rolling like a wave. In this restless wave, some ashes seemed to be blown by the wind, and began to fall continuously on the ground of the temple.
Seeing this, Li Leping could only loosen his hand holding the handle of the knife, and had to take a few steps back to prevent the ashes from splashing on him.
Soon, as more and more ashes were blown out, Li Leping suddenly discovered that these ashes were not scattered on the ground irregularly, but strangely changed directions in mid-air, all heading towards the same direction.
Gathering together everywhere.
That's right in front of the incense burner.
And under such a gathering.
Little by little, the ashes gradually condensed into a slightly rough outline of a human body in front of the incense burner, like a piled up snowman. Although the body shape is similar to that of a human, the details such as fingers and face are simply incomparable to those of a living person.
Compare.
"Did you wake up successfully?"
Li Leping squinted his eyes slightly. He looked at the person in front of him who was being gradually pieced together from the ashes. There was a look of vigilance in his eyes, and he had secretly grasped the short stick with one hand.
This is the first time he has used the ability of this knife, and he is not completely sure whether this knife can really use ashes as a medium to awaken the owner of the ashes.
He couldn't guarantee whether such awakened people could stay awake or whether they would be on their side.
You might accidentally awaken a more dangerous ghost.
"Did it really happen?"
The two Jiang Hao men not far away also had their eyes flickering when they saw this, and their eyes were fixed on the gradually clear outline of the human figure.
They have no way of understanding this strange phenomenon, and they only hope that Li Leping's plan can succeed, otherwise they will just be like a group of headless flies, conducting various tests with no guarantee of good or bad consequences in order to survive.
It didn't take long.
The outline of this slightly rough human body has become very clear. The three of them can clearly see the person's hands and feet, and even the obvious outline of the facial features can be seen on this gray-white face.
This seems to be an old man, with a ghost-like dullness on his face, a hunched back, and a body that cannot straighten up. It is made of gray ashes. The whole person looks like a corpse that has not been burned.
The skeleton reveals a strong evil nature.
Even during the process of his formation, some ashes were still scattered from his body, which was very strange.
On the one hand, it is forming, but on the other hand, there are signs of collapse.
This phenomenon seems to indicate that the old man cannot exist for too long, or that he cannot maintain a clear state for too long. Although he has regained consciousness at this moment, such a body made of ashes obviously cannot support his existence in this world for too long.
Suddenly.
This incomprehensible existence made of ashes seemed to shake, as if it had awakened from a deep sleep, and even its eyelids opened at this moment.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, the eyelids, which were also made of ashes, seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind. They dissipated directly into the air, as if they had evaporated, and were no longer visible.
Immediately afterwards, the old man who had no eyelids turned his gray-white eyes with no visible pupils and looked around the temple.
He seemed to be scanning his surroundings to confirm the current situation.
Finally, his eyes rested on Li Leping. A pair of eyes that showed no emotion at all, or that it was impossible to see any color of a living person, were staring at Li Leping at this moment.
Li Leping was looking at him, and he was looking at Li Leping.
Li Leping was wary of him, but he didn't seem to show any hostility towards Li Leping.
"He should understand the situation at this moment."
Li Leping stared at this strange old man who seemed to be sizing him up. Although he could not read any emotions from such a lifeless face, and could not analyze any intelligence, but by observing the surroundings for the first time after the old man appeared, Li Leping realized that
Leping has already made some guesses.
My act of awakening the ashes in the incense burner today should be correct. The old man who left the ashes in the incense burner must also be waiting for the day when the puja will begin.
This kind of waiting cannot be meaningless, there will definitely be a time when it will play a role.
And it is unlikely that this will come into play in the first seven days, because the procedures of the Dharma conference in the first seven days have their own special reminders.
The various supernatural and out-of-control phenomena in the temple are dangerous, but they also reveal the root of the problem in a sense. In order to deal with these problems, everyone in the temple can only apply these problems to the real Dharma assembly process.
Among them, we can find a way to break the situation.
Today is the only exception, because today most of the supernatural beings inside and outside the temple have been eliminated. However, after this elimination, the biggest problem is about to come.
That's when.
When Li Leping was analyzing the role of the old man in front of him, and had not yet thought about how to ask.
The old man whose body was made of ashes moved and turned around, as if he wanted to change the direction of his body.
However, the consequences of such a slight movement were very serious. A lot of the ashes on the old man's body suddenly scattered when he turned his body, and the appearance on his face became a little blurry.
Despite this, the old man still did not stop, but stopped after turning to a certain direction.
The place he was facing was exactly where the red coffin was.
"Have you started providing information?"
Li Leping watched the old man's every move closely.
He saw the ashes scattered on the old man's body as he moved.
This phenomenon seemed to confirm his conjecture, indicating that the old man could not stay in this world for too long, so he took action immediately.
This reckless behavior undoubtedly shows that the old man knew that he did not have much time to exist. After seeing the embarrassment of Li Leping and the others about the closing ceremony on the eighth day, he chose to provide information immediately while he was still able to move.
.
At this time, the old man turned around and faced the red coffin and raised his hands.
He seemed unable to speak, or perhaps speaking would make it impossible to save his face or even his entire body, so he could only use movements to remind Li Leping and others.
"Raise your hands up? Are you asking us to carry the coffin? No, carrying the coffin shouldn't be in this position. Are you asking us to open the lid of the coffin?"
Li Leping silently analyzed the old man's movements. Because the old man could not stay in this state for too long, every movement he made at this moment must be very important.
Soon, the old man who pretended to open the coffin lid put the index finger and thumb of his right hand together, then scratched the palm of his left hand, and then turned the scratched palm of his left hand downward.
