Xuan Qing kept correcting the position of the formation and asked Ding Xiaoyi to lay down the formation stakes.
Originally, he just took the opportunity to take a look and scold this guy, but seeing Ding Xiaoyi in a hurry, Xuan Qing couldn't be happy anymore.
"Oh oh oh!"
Ding Xiaoyi wiped the sweat from his face and asked with a look of shame: "Brother Xuanqing, what kind of formation is this?"
Xuan Qing had a cold face, and even sneered when he heard this: "Can you understand after I tell you?"
But after finishing speaking, he still said: "This is a formation taught to me by Aunt Meng. It's called the Qimen Nine Palaces Formation. It uses the Nine Palaces to infer the Eight Diagrams and cover up the Scenery Gate of Life and Death..."
Xuan Qing said a lot in one breath. He might not have been able to understand it before, but after meeting Taoist Wu Jie last time, his understanding of battle methods is no longer strictly limited to actual combat applications, but more theoretical.
improvement.
While Xuan Qing was talking, Ding Xiaoyi calmly drove the two pieces of wood into the pile.
It is actually not difficult to set up the formation. According to Xuan Qing's instructions, all twelve formation piles were quickly arranged.
At this time, Xuan Qing took out an ink fountain.
After taking out the ink fountain, Ding Xiaoyi smelled the smell of blood from a distance. When he looked carefully, he saw that the ink fountain was filled with black dog blood.
With a flick of his fingers, the ink thread was wrapped around the array stakes, three times and five times, forming a large net.
Then he walked to the cave.
At this moment, the hunters around the cave were ready, lying in ambush on both sides, carrying knives and axes, and the axes were even covered with golden talismans.
"Everyone, be careful!"
After Xuan Qing said this, he waved his fingers fiercely, and saw that the ink line in his hand was like a hidden weapon, piercing straight into the coffin below.
"Get up!" He then made a gesture with his fingers to awaken the formation.
Suddenly, the surrounding ink lines were ignited, and a wisp of fire actually burned on the ink lines.
The fire burned redder and redder, and finally turned into a red light, and a "whoosh!" sound hit the coffin along the ink line.
"boom!"
Immediately, the power of the formation was transferred to the coffin, causing the coffin to make an explosion like a super bean.
"ah!!"
There was a scream, and a black shadow jumped out of the coffin. A vague face could be seen vaguely in the black shadow, staring at Xuan Qing with red eyes.
"You are asking for your own death by disturbing my Qingxiu!"
The black shadow roared loudly and spat out a mouthful of green smoke. From the smoke clouds, densely packed skeletons emerged and rushed towards Xuan Qing.
Facing this green smoke, Xuan Qing did not dare to be careless.
While activating the formation, he saw red light rising around him, and a force of scorching heat, shining directly on his head, suddenly wiping out most of the green smoke.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Qing held a spear in his hand and twisted the spear point in his palm.
A thunderous sound exploded above the gun tip. The evil ghost's green smoke was originally invisible and extremely poisonous, but after being worn away twice by the formation and the thunderstorm sound surging on the gun tip, its power suddenly became stronger.
Greatly reduced.
"Swim in the tornado sea!" Xuan Qing roared.
Immediately after the tip of the gun swung, the gun seemed to be carrying a huge force, and when it was swung, there was a roar that sounded like the earth was shattering.
It was as if the shot really shook up the ocean waves and crashed down.
"So strong!"
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but frown. Xuan Qing's strength was difficult to distinguish, but in this ancient era, he was definitely a first-rate master.
His prowess in marksmanship is at least at the peak of evil spirits.
This level may not seem strong, but don't forget that Xuan Qing is actually only nineteen years old. Although he is at the peak of the evil spirit, in reality, his strength is enough to defeat anyone under the disaster spirit.
To put it bluntly, if it could go one step further and master the power of rules, even the disaster spirit would be no match.
If you can give him time, once he grows up, his strength will be even more terrifying.
Take advantage of the moment when one person and one ghost are fighting.
The hunters who had laid an ambush early rushed into the cave, raised their axes, and tried to pry open the coffin.
But who would have known that the coffin looks inconspicuous, but in fact it is terrifyingly hard.
Knives and axes struck it, leaving no mark.
So everyone could only think of ways to forcefully pry him away.
As a result, I was so exhausted that I couldn't even open the coffin.
Chai Rong took a closer look at the coffin, stood on top of the hole, stretched out her hand, pointed the swastika in her palm at the coffin, and shined a light on it.
As soon as the Buddha's light flashed, the black paint on the outside of the coffin suddenly gave off a stench, and then melted away like a melted candle, revealing the original color of the coffin under the paint.
Seeing this, everyone immediately gathered their strength and started pushing back with all their strength.
"Bang~~"
With the slight sound of the coffin opening, everyone cheered up and pushed harder.
Chai Rong wanted to go down to help, but suddenly Ding Xiaoyi grabbed her arm, pulled her involuntarily and hid behind a stone.
“Brother Xiao Yi, shouldn’t we help??”
Chai Rong looked at Ding Xiaoyi in confusion.
I don't understand why he pulled me into hiding at this time.
"Shh, don't talk, something is wrong!" Ding Xiaoyi raised his index finger to signal Chai Rong to be quiet, then hid behind the stone and observed silently.
If this evil ghost can be solved so easily, how could Xuan Qing die?
And he still had a doubt in his mind, why Xuan Qing was so hostile to them.
At first he thought it was because of his status as an 'outsider'.
But this cannot explain the fact that Xuan Qing has murderous intention towards him.
Leaving aside this matter, the appearance of the mandrill was too coincidental. It didn't come out sooner or later. It only appeared after Xuan Qing left.
Just when he was defeated, he met Xuan Qing who had returned.
Although these coincidences couldn't explain anything, they always made him feel very uncomfortable, so he wanted to hide behind and see what was going on.
Sure enough, he soon realized that something was wrong.
Just listen to the sound of smashing that was coming from time to time under the cave, and it suddenly became quiet.
Followed by a strong smell of blood, it came from under the cave.
"problem occurs!"
Ding Xiaoyi's heart tightened, and he saw a hand full of blood under the hole, slowly reaching out. The sharp nails reflected a green light in the sun.
Immediately afterwards, a disheveled figure slowly crawled out from the pit.
"It's a zombie!!"
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi was stunned and quickly retracted his head, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
Xuan Qing, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with the evil ghost, also noticed the movement in the cave. When he saw the zombies jumping out of the cave, his face suddenly became ugly.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that."
There was a burst of triumphant laughter from Li Gui's mouth: "You thought you were sure of victory, but you didn't know that from beginning to end, you were just a puppet being pulled away by strings. When your head is taken away, I don't know what your master's expression will be like.
appearance."
"shut up!!"
Xuan Qing was furious when he heard this, and it seemed that he didn't expect that the battle that was supposed to be a sure thing would turn out to be unexpected.
It was already quite difficult for him just to entangle this evil ghost. If the zombie was added to the mix, I'm afraid he wouldn't be a match either.
"Hahaha, don't be angry, Xuan Qing, we have become good friends over the years.
I have helped you countless times to collect merit for you and your master.
The merits accumulated over the years have transformed the Merit Plum from the size of a jujube into a giant tree in the sky. No credit, but hard work, and you actually want to kill me!"
When Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong heard this in the distance, they were immediately surprised.
Although Ding Xiaoyi guessed that Xuan Qing was very unfriendly to him, he never expected that he had known this evil ghost for a long time.
Xuan Qing said with a cold face: "You have gone too far recently. You have killed three people every month. You have killed more than thirty people this month. If I don't kill you, who should I kill?"
"Hahaha!" Li Gui covered his stomach and laughed: "I knew you would say this, so I was prepared. Now if you want to survive, give me the core of the merit tree."
"The core of the merit tree! You have such a strong tone. That kind of thing is also a treasure worthy of you!"
Li Gui scratched his head: "I don't know if I am worthy, but you are definitely not worthy, and your master is definitely not worthy either."
"Over the years, I have lured wandering souls to become evil ghosts, and you have deceived villagers from all over the place to become the food of evil ghosts. When they are fattened, you will kill them, absorb their grievances, and feed their merits.
How dare you say that I am not worthy of this kind of merit that comes from taking human life to feed it."
Li Gui revealed Xuan Qing's secrets over the years, which shocked Ding Xiaoyi and Chai Rong who were hiding behind the stone.
They never dreamed that Po Meng’s good apprentice, whom Po Meng had been looking for for who knows how many years, would actually be such a despicable villain!
Even Ding Xiaoyi didn't expect that things would be so complicated.
Just when the two of them were horrified, a stench suddenly filled the air.
Perhaps due to instinct, although he no longer has psychic protection, his judgment of danger is still far beyond ordinary people's sensitivity.
The first time he smelled the smell, he turned around and saw a pair of slender blue nails almost falling on his shoulders.
When he followed his fingernails and looked up, he saw the zombie that had just jumped out of the pit. He didn't know when it appeared in front of the store not far behind him.
