Zhou Shi grinned and said, "Now? Is it a little early?"
His original intention was to make a joke to tease everyone, but no one else understood what he meant.
"Shopkeeper, I have calculated the time and cannot delay it any longer." Luan Chongxiang said seriously.
This guy really doesn't understand humor... Zhou Shi muttered and then became serious: "I want to lie down in this coffin?"
"That's right."
Li Yi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhou. No matter what the outcome is, you will never expose your body to the wilderness."
Qiu Congyun glared at him, but Zhou Shi didn't care much and said casually: "Such a well-made coffin is indeed rare. Thank you for your help."
"Shopkeeper Zhou, let me explain." Wu Shiba said, holding the coffin, "I will seal the coffin immediately after you lie in it. After the six coffin nails are inserted, the demon's soul must be in unbearable pain and have to leave.
You go and find a way out. I will open the coffin then, and the other two will besiege the evil ghost together.
"At that time, I need you to reach out and close the coffin yourself, and I will reseal it. This will isolate the inside and outside of the coffin and cut off the connection between the demon and you. As long as we can arrest the demon, we can start
Interrogated."
Qiu Congyun added: "If you can't be detained, we will give priority to saving your life."
"Thank you very much, but we in Yinmen often say that if you step into the realm of Yin and Yang, your life will hang in your mind. Since I dare to come, of course I am prepared not to go back."
Luan Chongxiang smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Zhou is so enlightened at such a young age, which makes us old guys a little ashamed."
Even so, Zhou Shi knew in his heart that he was acting so righteously because he had made other plans.
He calmed down, lay down in the coffin, and asked Wu Shiba to close the coffin.
"Everyone, take your place." Wu Shiba ordered in a low voice.
In this narrow and cramped space, Zhou Shi, who was originally very calm, couldn't help but start to get angry. But at this moment, Budu's voice came out:
"Remember your promise."
"the same as you."
"Sealing the coffin——"
Wu Shiba's voice came through the coffin board:
"One letter of blessing from the heavenly official, two blessings of good health to the underworld, three blessings of longevity to strangers, four blessings of white evil disappearing, five blessings of prosperity for future generations!"
Every time a song is sung, the coffin lid shakes, indicating that a nail has been driven into the coffin.
"The six seals of the past will disappear!"
The moment the sixth coffin nail was driven in, Zhou Shi felt his eyebrows tighten, and then he felt a sharp pain as if a nail had been driven through his head!
"This is...a direct damage to the human soul. If there is a spirit possessing it, it will definitely not be able to withstand it, but Yin soldiers will not..."
Zhou Shi thought to himself, he couldn't cross it out.
"do it according to plan."
Outside the coffin, after Wu Shiba hammered the sixth coffin nail, there was a slapping sound from the coffin lid, as if several people were trapped in this small coffin and were desperately trying to get out!
Qiu Congyun, who was waiting on the sidelines, also had a serious look on his face.
When Wu Shiba shouted "open the coffin", five nails flew up from the coffin lid, and the suppressed majestic Yin Qi surged out from the coffin, swallowing everyone up in an instant!
"What a terrifying Yin Qi! How powerful must this monster be in life?" Luan Chongxiang exclaimed.
Qiu Congyun hurriedly protected the old man behind him, raised his hands in front of him in a seal, and shouted:
"The heaven and earth are natural, the odor is dispersed, the cave is mysterious, and the Taiyuan shines brightly!"
After he finished reciting, his body surface glowed with a faint red light, and the Yin Qi lingering around him retreated consciously.
On the other side, Li Yi took out a golden watch and sang:
"It's three o'clock at midnight, everything is fine——"
“When, when, when—”
Wherever the watchman's voice comes, the Yin Qi is forced into the ground.
Wu Shiba also retreated to the crowd and shouted in a low voice: "Here we come!"
I saw where the Yin Qi was strongest, a tall monk wearing a bamboo hat slowly stood up and faced everyone.
There is no joy or sadness on this monk's face, his eyebrows are drooped, his expression is indifferent, and his appearance is solemn.
"Amitabha, this poor monk has seen all the donors."
Everyone was also startled. Aren't all the ghosts strange in shape and with blurred facial features? Why...
"That's him!" Wu Shiba shouted, "Spread out and take action!"
Qiu Congyun woke up like a dream, and hurriedly and Li Yi dispersed in two directions, forming an encirclement.
"Come! Pay homage to Jiutian, Commander Zaojun, head of the family, god of the five sacrifices, as urgent as the law!"
As Qiu Congyun shouted and recited the divine incantation, the red light on his body began to expand, and a red flame spurted out from his palm, turning into a fiery snake, tightening the monk tightly and biting his throat.
Almost at the same time, Li Yi also knocked on the golden watch and recited "Close the doors and windows to let the thieves out." The doors and windows on all sides rose up, trapping the monk and the coffin inside.
Luan Chongxiang, who had retreated further, aimed at the monk's position, flicked his sleeve, and shot out six copper coins, scattered around the target, sealing the five elements and six paths.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, close the coffin, close the coffin!"
Wu Shiba roared. With the double blockade and the flames churning inside, they were unable to directly help Zhou Shi on the outside.
One hand stretched out from the coffin, and then half of his body. Zhou Shi sat up and grabbed the edge of the coffin lid, but he couldn't pull it.
He shouted desperately: "It can't be combined..."
"Amitabha, why is the donor so stubborn?"
At this moment, a majestic yet compassionate voice sounded, leaving everyone in a trance.
They saw that the monk leaned down and flicked away Zhou Shi's hand that was firmly grasping the edge of the coffin lid.
"No! Release the blockade quickly!" Wu Shiba shouted, but it was too late, and only the Zen sound was heard:
"The sea of suffering has no limit, but when you turn around, you will find shore again..."
Wu Shiba and others collapsed on the ground as if their bones had been removed.
Budu put his hands together, bowed slightly and recited: "Amitabha."
"Okay, Buddha saw your crime and I don't know what to think."
Zhou Shi clambered out of the coffin, glanced at Budu warily, and came to the three of them to check their breathing.
"The shopkeeper still can't believe me? When I haven't accomplished my magic, I can only send their souls to hell, but I can't completely transfer their souls to the other side." Budu said with a smile, "Of course, if I can get An Rudao's relics,
perhaps……"
"Don't think about this matter now." Zhou Shi said calmly, "According to our deal, you should answer my questions now."
"Excuse me."
"First of all, do you know the origin of this iron abacus?"
"There is nothing to say about this thing. It is a magic weapon that an old horseman asked someone to help make. Each bead can store some items. This technique should be found in the records of the Zhenyin Department. You can find it in your burial place.
Check with corpse friend."
"Then why did you hide An Rudao's beads in it? Where did the beads come from?"
"This can only be explained by causes and conditions." Budu clasped his hands and smiled, "When I escaped from the Daqing Temple, in addition to 'the gods and Buddhas closed their eyes', I also stole the beads of unknown purpose left by An Rudao.
