Chapter 211: The art of inviting the soul into the corpse, the master sees how people behave
In the south of Jiangdu City, the ground in a small courtyard suddenly cracked open.
A black shadow flew out from it, spinning and landing on the ground. It was the unkempt Budu.
At this time, his face no longer had the ease and ease with which he had just confronted Zhou Shi and Yu Changren, and his expression became ugly.
He beat his chest and spit out a lump of meat.
"Well, although this blood ginseng can reshape the body, the price is not small..."
He sat down by the flower bed and waved his hands habitually, then he remembered that the Zen staff was gone.
"Forget it, let's get it later...ah, what a big tree!"
In the center of the flower bed is a tree that can hold four people in arms, covering half of the yard.
"Such a big tree is not uncommon in the wild. It may be a wonder to grow like this in the city. Amitabha..."
He clasped his hands together and recited Buddhist scriptures.
Sure enough, his companion did not keep him waiting for too long. He only read a few words and felt much more energetic before he noticed two people falling in the yard.
"Master, see you Jiang Ling'er."
The "Ten Faced Actor" put down the woman on his shoulders and bowed respectfully.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Budu responded, getting up to check on Aunt Mei's condition.
"Master, she must have been cursed by the Taoist priest. She won't wake up no matter how she screams, and her breathing is very weak."
Budu didn't say anything, he just put his hand on her face and recited a mantra.
"Oh? What a powerful Taoist method. It seems that the Taoist priest knows how important she is to us."
"This..." Jiang Linger's heart tightened and she quickly asked, "Master, do you want me to take back the Zen staff and let the little Taoist priest break the curse?"
"No, no need." Budu waved his hand, "You have worked too hard tonight, I have other ways."
He glanced at the towering tree behind him, sat cross-legged next to Aunt Mei, and muttered something.
After a while, Aunt Mei woke up quietly and saw him for the first time.
"Ah, Master!"
She wanted to stand up and salute, but she felt as if her body was not in control and her senses were much dulled.
"Don't move." Budu stopped him immediately, "I just broke the curse for you, but now your body can't move freely."
"Master, this little girl is so incompetent that she fell in love with the little Taoist priest and almost delayed the master's plan..." Aunt Mei gritted her teeth and blamed herself very much.
Budu shook his head gently and said with a smile: "That little Taoist priest is a direct descendant of Wudang and an authentic Taoist master. It's a great achievement for you to be able to hold him back."
Hearing this, Aunt Mei couldn't help but shed tears.
She was originally the daughter of an official, and she had lived in a deep house since she was a child. However, her father, who was an official and a prefect, embezzled the disaster relief money allocated by the court, which led to the confiscation of the house. The prefect's father was beheaded, and all the men in the family were sent to the army, while the women were
Entered the Jiaofang Department as a prostitute.
She couldn't bear the torture of Jiaofangsi and looked for an opportunity to escape. But what could a helpless woman with unknown background do in the world? She had no choice but to return to her old career.
When she was twenty years old, she was bought with a lot of money and came to the home of an old man. Who knew that the old man was not a prostitute, but an outer sect demon who practiced corpse refining. He bought her to refine a charm.
The corpse puppet is capable. But before this demon used the charm corpse to harm others, she was charmed first, and she took the opportunity to kill him with a knife.
She found a scroll of corpse refining skills from the old man, and obtained an endless supply of training materials for herself by charming the man, and finally learned the corpse refining technique. She was not satisfied with this, and increased her knowledge through contact with various monsters.
, he developed a method to forcibly combine the ghost and the corpse.
At that time, she didn't realize what this method meant, so she still used charm to attract men, and then kill them and turn them into walking corpses. She had no intention of becoming famous outside, she just did it out of interest and revenge.
Think about it and do it.
Until Master Budu came to her door and invited her to do a big event.
Budu was different from all the men she had ever seen. Her charm technique failed for the first time and she could not shake his mind in the slightest. Not only did he have wisdom and methods that far exceeded hers, but he also had the compassion and love in him.
The temperament of blood compatibility makes her look forward to it even more.
"Look, these are the ghosts and containers I'm talking about."
Budu showed her the picture of the lady in red that bound the ghost bride, and said, "Can you combine them into one?"
"I can, Master." Aunt Mei replied immediately, "It's just my body..."
"It doesn't matter, you say it, I'll do it."
"Yes..." Aunt Mei calmed down and said, "The name of this method is 'inviting the soul into the corpse'. The container needs to be sealed with an array first. The method of setting up the array is..."
Budu listened, silently noted it in his mind, turned to Jiang Ling'er and said, "Did you hear that? Do it quickly."
But Jiang Ling'er's face showed an expression of extreme fear, which she barely concealed until Budu gave her an order.
"Yes..."
Half an hour later, the floor and walls of the small courtyard were covered with filthy and horrific bloody words.
"... Then use the four corpses to occupy the four directions respectively, chant the formula, and then you can activate it." Aunt Mei finally said.
"Well..." Budu looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Aunt Mei, you have completed your task well."
"Many, thank you for the compliment, Master..."
"Well, Jiang Ling'er, do you think Aunt Mei can be considered an effective assistant?"
Why ask him? Doubts arose in Aunt Mei’s heart. She had never liked this guy who always wore facial makeup, but his technique of exorcizing corpses was really good. In combination with her method of refining corpses, he could use walking corpses to disrupt Jiangdu.
situation.
Jiang Ling'er looked embarrassed and replied cautiously: "The master has a very good eye for selecting people."
"Haha, I don't know if this is flattery or your sincerity. Yes, I have gathered you from all over Daliang and united you under the same goal for this day. It's a pity that many of you can't see it." Budu sighed softly, as if he was mourning his two dead companions.
Jiang Ling'er asked: "Master, shall we start the formation?"
"No, let's take care of Aunt Mei's matter first."
After hearing this, Aunt Mei said anxiously: "No, Master, there is nothing wrong with my body. My body..."
Her words stopped abruptly.
Jiang Ling'er turned sideways slightly, not looking directly at her. It seemed to be compassion, it seemed to be fear.
"Me, my body...why..."
She had regained the feeling of her body, but found that it felt extremely large, with the top level of the courtyard building and the bottom level connected to the ground.
She wanted to move her hands, but she felt more than a hundred "hands" existing on her body!
The breeze blew by, and her "hands" rustled together.
"Master, Master!" she cried, "How could my body become like this!"
"Don't blame me, Aunt Mei." Budu said softly, "The little Taoist used the mind lock to separate your soul from your body, so I can only extract your soul and put it in this big tree.
”
"But, master, my body..."
"Amitabha, the human body will decay in just a hundred years, but this tree can live for at least another two hundred years. Moreover, this tree connects the sky and the earth. It drinks clear dew in the morning, roosts with birds in the evening, and is far away from the world of mortals. Its six roots are pure.
Wouldn’t it be happy?”
"Master..." Aunt Mei cried and said, "As long as I can help Master, I will never give up, and it would be nice to be a tree."
Budu smiled and said: "Well, it's very good that you have such awareness."
As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, opened it, and poured the liquid around the big tree where Aunt Mei was living.
After a while, this towering tree turned into a dead tree.
Budu gently brushed off the leaves on his body and said softly: "You will die for me, this is my most capable assistant.
"I am the only one in the world who knows how to bring the soul into the corpse.
"Then, Jiang Ling'er..."
"Master!"
When Budu turned around and looked at another person in the world who knew how to invite souls into corpses, he had already knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand in front of Budu tremblingly.
After seeing what he was holding, Budu's expression relaxed.
A pair of bloody eyeballs lay quietly in his palm.
"Master, I didn't see anything!"
Budu looked embarrassed: "But didn't you hear the incantation that Aunt Mei just dictated - oh?"
Only then did he see two streams of blood flowing from Jiang Ling'er's two ear holes.
"...Smart, I feel more and more that I have a more accurate vision of people."
