The Cen family's strength indeed exceeded Xu Junming's expectations.
The eight-sided white silk is all the finest Huzhou silk. Silk like this on the market costs thirty taels of silver per square foot. Only the top rich and powerful cannot afford such a luxury item.
Eight large trees and eight small trees are all of the best peach wood!
Xu Junming was not surprised that the Cen Mansion had top-quality Huzhou silk. But for peach wood, it would be difficult to assemble so much in such a short period of time if not prepared in advance.
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Butler Zhang smiled.
"Since this old house started to be haunted, many Taoist priests invited by the master have asked for peach wood to make utensils. Over time, there have been a lot of them. Otherwise, I would not have been able to find these woods for the Taoist priests in a few hours."
"I see!"
"Taoist Master Xu, I have brought a lot of people this time. If Taoist Master needs it, just give them orders."
Looking at the twenty or thirty strong men with swords and spears behind them following Butler Zhang, Xu Junming shook his head.
"No need. I can do the rest myself... Butler Zhang, it's getting late, you can take these people out. If a ghost comes out, its strength is lower than mine. If it's too strong, I'm afraid to protect you."
I can’t stop you.”
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Butler Zhang had no intention of staying.
"Do you want to leave a few people for the Taoist priest?"
"Need not!"
He shook his head simply. He didn't have any magic power, and if he stayed, he would be nothing but a burden.
"Then leave everything to the Taoist Master!"
"A poor man should do his best!"
After bowing his hand to him, Butler Zhang waved the people away. In the whole yard, except for Wu Laoshi who was in front, only Xu Junming and Mao Tou were left.
"Taoist Master, it's so dark here. When can we leave?"
Seeing the growing darkness around him, Mao Tou moved closer to Xu Junming with some fear.
"We'll leave in a minute!"
He took out a talisman with a faint golden light from the bag and put it in Mao Tou's hand.
After the first corpse-tying rope made with the tail of the demon fox was broken into four pieces, he selected two pieces that were still valuable and made a pure Yang talisman and a flame talisman.
Holding it in hand, a faint warmth started from the talisman and flowed down the arm throughout the body like lightning. The coldness around him subsided instantly, and the fear brought by the dark night seemed not to be so strong.
Mao Tou looked at the talisman in his hand in surprise and started to play with it subconsciously.
Patting his head, Xu Junming stretched out his hand, and with the help of magic power, eight pieces of fine Huzhou white silk were spread out in front of him out of thin air.
Opening the magic bag, he took out a half-foot-tall porcelain vase, peeled off the sealing talisman on it, and rich energy and blood emanated from it.
What is contained in this bottle is the talisman drawing material that he mixed with the essence and blood of the weasel, the finest cinnabar, and the oriental purple energy.
Drawn by mana, the translucent red liquid flew out from it. As he drew with his right hand in the air, a talisman the size of a water tank gradually took shape.
Xu Junming shot it in the air, and the talisman that was about to take shape flew up to the flag banner like lightning. When the two sides joined together, powerful Yang Qi was derived from the void.
The entire flag banner bloomed with rich golden light.
The golden light flashed and then disappeared, and a flag that emitted a faint white light as a whole and the golden talismans took shape.
Repeatedly, the eight-sided Dharma flag was drawn with the Pure Yang Dharma Talisman!
Xu Junming then used his green bamboo cane to make 108 bamboo nails, and beat eight thin peach wood nails horizontally and fixed them on the thick peach wood.
Then, the finished Dharma flags were fixed and nailed on the fine horizontal mahogany wood.
In this way, the eight flags and flags serving as the base of the formation are ready.
Check it over, there is nothing missing.
Xu Junming changed the seal formula and drank in a low voice.
"Innate Bagua Array, rise!"
"Dong dong dong...!"
Eight chants in a row, eight Dharma flags one and two feet high, were arranged in all directions, covering Xu Junming and Mao Tou.
A faint radiance came from Xu Junming's Dantian, connected to the eight-sided Dharma flag, and the powerful pure Yang energy protected the two of them.
Feeling the changes in the formation, Xu Junming nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, compared to the innate Bagua Array, his strongest array is the 'Four Elephants Demon-Slaying Array'. But now, unless spiritual objects are used to practice the array diagram or Dharma flags, ordinary materials can no longer withstand the powerful force after the large array is activated.
Infusion of spiritual energy.
So at this time, the Xiantian Bagua Formation becomes the best choice.
The formation formula in his palm changed, and the eight flags and banners gradually disappeared like dreamy bubbles, and the scenery of the backyard of Cen Mansion reappeared before his eyes.
"Taoist priest, your flag is gone?"
Mao Tou didn't understand why, and soon became surprised.
"Calm down! Come and sit next to me!"
Seeing his serious expression, Mao Tou didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly moved his buttocks and sat down next to him.
Butler Zhang thoughtfully prepared a few futons, so they didn't have anywhere to sit.
"Remember, no matter what you see for a while, don't panic. Don't leave three feet away from me!"
Mao Tou nodded vigorously.
After the explanation, Xu Junming closed his eyes, changed the seal in his palm, and focused on four purposes. While practicing, he guided the pure Yang Qi to practice the eight-sided Dharma flag, while comprehending the innate Bagua formation; while paying attention to the lake three feet away.
movement in.
Seeing him sitting silently and not speaking, Mao Tou looked around at the thickening darkness around him, feeling timid in his heart. Fortunately, the talisman in his hand gave him warmth, but he still couldn't help but move closer to Xu Junming.
…
Outside the gate of the Cen family's old mansion, Butler Zhang was guarding here with twenty or thirty servants.
The house is haunted and they dare not approach it, but the outside of the house is indeed a safe place.
"Didi...!"
With the sound of sirens, three black Ford cars drove over.
The car was parked, the door of the middle car was opened, and a middle-aged man with a tall and slender figure and a dignified look from a superior stepped out.
Butler Zhang quickly trotted over to greet him.
"master!"
The middle-aged man nodded and looked up at the house in front of him.
"Is there anyone inside?"
"yes!"
"What do you think?"
"I have never practiced cultivation, so I can't judge. But judging from the hands shown by Taoist Master Xu at noon, he can at least be ranked among the top ten among the monks and Taoists that I invited in the past."
"Oh? Didn't you say he is very young? How can he have such power?"
"This... I have no way of knowing. But this Taoist master's flight has disappeared, which really amazes me!"
"Flight is extinct?" The middle-aged man turned his head.
Butler Zhang nodded quickly and said: "This afternoon, Taoist Xu was surveying the whole mansion. He disappeared without a trace in an instant. He came up without a trace and left without a trace."
The middle-aged man nodded. This old slave had been with him for many years and he probably wouldn't lie about this matter.
"If he can come out alive, I have to get to know him!" the middle-aged man said with great interest.
"...Okay, I'm just passing by to take a look. You continue to guard here. If there is any news, send someone to report it immediately."
"Yes! Master, walk slowly!"
The middle-aged man took one last look at the old house, turned around and got in the car.
The three cars started slowly and gradually disappeared into the increasingly dense darkness.
