It is said that the soul-shifting formation has long been lost.
According to legend, it is a secret method in the forbidden technique of seizing houses, which is used to transfer other people's souls to oneself and steal the life of the person whose soul has been transferred, so as to confuse ghosts and the book of life and death, and seek longevity.
Who would have thought that such an ancient formation could be seen in such an unremarkable school.
After hearing Gou Liang's explanation of this formation, Bi Xia shook his head and said, "Although I don't understand the metaphysics formation, this formation is not a health-preserving soul, but a ghost."
And it was so powerful that even he felt strong discomfort when he stepped into this room.
Gou Liang and Lin Daochang looked at each other, and both could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.
People still have a positive life when they die, so they must be innocent souls who died in vain. When their Yangshou was not yet over, accidents happened, and their Yangshou was ended early. As they entered the underworld, the record of Yangshou in the life and death book would also change accordingly. But if they are detained in the human world by some secret method, the Yangshou time in the book of life and death remains unchanged, and the ghosts will not find that these people have died early, then the Yangshou of these ghosts can do a lot.
The people who set up the formation borrowed the longevity of these ghosts who died in vain, so it is very likely that the vain deaths of these people were caused by this person.
Gou Liang thought about it: "There is another characteristic of the soul-shifting formation. The age difference between the soul-destroying person and the soul-moving person should not be too large. The imps caught by the Taoist leader all died three years ago, but the deceased except fifteen or sixteen There are 40-year-old students and 40-50-year-old faculty members. From this point of view, I am afraid that someone used this formation to steal Yangshou for two people at the same time. This is a clue, we might as well start from here."
Lin Daochang hurriedly said: "Then I will say hello to the organization and ask them to adjust the files..."
"No need to be so troublesome."
Rejecting Lin Daochang's suggestion, Gou Liang squatted down, tapped his left hand to the ground, and said in his mouth: "The gates of heaven and earth, the gates of people and ghosts, all directions look after each other, and all are my master. Order, open the gate of the netherworld, and save yourself now." The impermanence of ghosts!"
A gloomy door suddenly appeared in front of the door. Statues of bull head and horse face hung on the left and right sides of the door. The door opened slowly, and black and white Wuchang, one tall and one short, walked out of the door.
"It turned out to be Tianshi Meng. We are black and white impermanence who govern the dead souls here. I was too busy yesterday to thank Tianshi for your help. Thank you here." After thanking Tianshi on behalf of the two, Bai Wuchang asked: "I don't know, Tianshi Meng What is the reason for summoning impermanence this time?"
Gou Liang didn't mince words with them, and said directly: "I want to take a look at the life and death book of this place, and investigate two people."
"This… "
Black and white Wuchang looked at each other, wondering: "Fairy master should know that the book of life and death is not easy to show to others, and I dare not make decisions on my own. If the heavenly master wants to see it, why not wait for me to report back to Lord Yan?"
Gou Liang said with a smile: "I will not stop you if you want to report to Lord Yan. At that time, the two of you will be punished or demoted, and it has nothing to do with me."
Black and White Wuchang was startled, "Why did Meng Tianshi say that?"
Gou Liang pulled the souls of the ghosts from the car accident, and asked Lin Daochang to release the little ghosts he had caught, and asked Black and White Wuchang to check whether the lifespan of these ghosts was still alive.
After checking, Black and White Wuchang was shocked: these ghosts are still alive, and even one of them has 80 years of longevity! And in the book of life and death, they are still living red names, without the slightest sign of dying.
"Can you two recognize this formation?"
Gou Liang asked again.
Seeing the two people shaking their heads, Gou Liang slightly mentioned the function of the Soul Shifting Formation. Black and white impermanence is a transparent person, and immediately understood the whole story.
This is because someone used a vicious forbidden technique to cause these people who had not yet reached the end of their lifespan to die in vain, and they used their lifespan to renew their lives!
Hei Wuchang, who seemed taciturn, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is so insane, to kill so many people's lives for the purpose of stealing Yangshou, it is an unforgivable crime! Heavenly Master, if there is anything we can help, please let me know."
"Little Black..."
Bai Wuchang wanted to stop it, and Gou Liang's purpose had already been stated, but they only had access to the book of life and death, and if they lent it to others, they would have committed a serious crime. But Hei Wuchang obviously saw the overall situation better than him, and he shook his head at Bai Wuchang. Regardless of whether this matter can be properly resolved in the end, it cannot be concealed. Although it wasn't that they were negligent in their duties, they couldn't escape their guilt, and now is their only chance to make up for their mistakes.
Gou Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you two. I won't touch the book of life and death. You just need to help me find out who in this place has died three years ago and has not yet reported to the underworld." .”
This is easy to handle.
Heiheiwuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked it up.
The work of black and white impermanence is to seduce souls and cross ghosts-every time someone's lifespan is near the end, the book of life and death will give a report, announcing the content of their work, if there is no reminder or instruction from the book of life and death, they will not take the initiative. Although at the end of each year, black and white impermanence from all over the country will patrol their jurisdiction to take back the souls that have not been extradited in time, but it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.
After some investigation, from three years ago to now, a total of five people have reached the end of their lives but have not yet been sent to the underworld.
Two of them were a father and daughter of the same age as the demented, and their only relative was an old lady.
Bai Wuchang opened his eyes wide, and said, "It's actually the Zijin List."
Only those with great merit will appear golden in the book of life and death, such as Zhang Dou. And only celestial masters or emperors who have established great merits and virtues will crown purple on the gold to show their dignity. For example, "Meng Qining" must also be purple and gold in the book of life and death. Undoubtedly, this old lady over 80 years old is a hidden celestial master who has made countless meritorious deeds. But it was also her who, in order to save the lives of her children and grandchildren, used the soul-shifting technique to prolong their lives...
Futaba Middle School, teachers' dormitory building.
"You are here."
The old lady is a Buddhist believer, and felt that the visitor did not stop chanting. She didn't stop until she finished reciting a scripture, put down the bodhi seed and looked at the visitor.
Her expression was very calm, and she had obviously expected her end today.
But when she saw Gou Liang, she was still a little surprised, and then laughed: "I never expected to meet such a young celestial master in my lifetime. It's really a blessing."
Because Bi Xia's breath was still unstable after the soul fusion, Gou Liang was afraid that the old lady would see the clue, so he took Bi Xia back into the soul-cultivating jade. However, the ghost mark on his face could not escape the old lady's eyes, but she didn't say much.
Looking at the old man with compassionate eyes, Gou Liang couldn't bear to say: "Since you are a celestial master, you should know that life and death have destiny, so why force it?"
The old lady said: "As a fellow, you should also know our obsession with fighting for fate. Just like your elders spent all their efforts to suppress your fate, I know that my children and grandchildren are guilty of widowhood and fate, but I still want them to live a long and happy life.”
Lin Daochang couldn't help but said: "Tianshi, although you want to save your children and grandchildren, although your means are extreme, it should be done in moderation. Since you have already stolen your life, why don't you restrain these ghosts who died in vain, but let them wander outside and kill others in vain? Up and down the school, everyone is infected with ghost aura because of this, ranging from illness to death, how innocent it is!"
The old lady sighed, "It's just that I was eager to save my son at the time, and I didn't find out that the records of the soul-shifting array were incomplete. I didn't know until after I set up the array that the array I deployed was different from the soul-shifting array recorded in ancient books. .Not only is it ingesting the dead soul Yangshou, but once it is opened, it cannot be stopped. I have been trying to remedy it all these years, but there is no other way."
When she first discovered that the formation was not right, she had a chance to destroy the formation.
But at that time, human life had already been committed, Yangshou had been stolen, and if she was asked to destroy the formation, she was afraid that her children and grandchildren would die with the formation, so she hesitated to do it.
After half a year of hesitation, she realized that this formation is not only as simple as taking people's lifespan, but also has the curse power to drive those vain ghosts to do harm to all directions.
"It was only then that I realized that the person who created this formation not only wanted to live forever, but also wanted to take revenge on the world. Once the formation matures, my ability is not enough to stop it or destroy it. I can only sacrifice for these innocent people. Pray for blessings, and hope that they will suffer less bad luck."
If not, the entire Futaba City would have become a dead city when the formation was completed.
But in the final analysis, this innocent disaster was only caused by the selfishness of one person—the selfishness of a mother.
Lin Daozhang opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the question that came to his mouth.
The old lady said: "I also asked my master for help. My senior brother told me that if I want to untangle this formation, I will not only pay for the lives of those who set up the formation, but also the lives of all those who entered the formation. This formation has been established for three years. There are at least 500,000 people who cover this side of the land... The old woman knows that the crime is serious, but she must not let these innocent people die for my own selfishness. I can only delay until the person who breaks the situation appears."
The old lady stroked the bodhi seed, with obvious remorse on her face.
Gou Liang thought about it, "Dare to ask senior who is the teacher?"
The old lady paused, and said truthfully: "I am a teacher of Changtianmen, and I am a disciple of the fifty-sixth generation. My senior brother is named Dugu. He is the head of this generation and the most powerful celestial master in the world. He can't save me, old woman." I really don’t know who can break this situation.”
Gou Liang said, "I can solve it."
The old lady suddenly raised her head and looked at Gou Liang in surprise.
Gou Liang: "I can break this formation, and those who enter the formation will not have to die, including your sons and granddaughters."
The old lady stood up and walked towards Gou Liang, "Do you really mean what you say, little friend?"
"Don't dare to tease seniors. But with my method, the lives of those who set up the formation will not be saved, and they will be scattered like those who died in vain." Gou Liang paused, "Even so, seniors have to solve this problem." array?"
There was no hesitation on the old lady's face, some were just rejoicing, "It was because of me that I was born alone, and my little friend was able to save the lives of my son and my grandson, which is already a great kindness to the old lady, and I dare not ask for more."
Gou Liang nodded, "Tonight is a good opportunity to break the battle. Seniors can still say goodbye to their children and grandchildren."
The old lady shook her head and smiled, "I've lived for so many years, and it's time to leave."
When school was over, the little granddaughter came back one step ahead of her father, and the originally deserted home was filled with laughter for a while.
The little granddaughter hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I want to eat your fried fish, the crispy golden one."
The old lady with a ditch on her face had a kind smile on her face, "Okay, okay."
The middle-aged man didn't dare to work for the old mother, so he hurriedly said, "Don't disturb your grandma, Dad will do it for you."
The little granddaughter didn't appreciate it, "Don't, Dad's cooking is very unpalatable, and he didn't inherit a bit of grandma's ingenuity at all."
In exchange for a laughing curse: "Stinky girl."
The ordinary scene was engraved in the old lady's last memory. That night she put on a decent cheongsam, combed her gray hair meticulously, stroked the black and white photo of her wife on the dressing table and the family portrait of herself and her children and grandchildren, got up and left.
Child time is approaching.
"Senior, are you ready?"
Gou Liang still respected this old lady, although he didn't intend to make a big mistake, but Gou Liang didn't think she had the sentiment of self-sacrifice and generosity.
The old lady nodded, took off the silver hairpin pinned to her hair, and handed it to Gou Liang: "Thank you, Xiaoyou Meng, for your rescue. My old lady has been poor all her life, and I can't afford any precious gift of thanks. This is my teacher's token. If In the future, if Meng Xiaoyou needs it, I can ask my senior brother to repay your love for me with this thing."
Gou Liang did not refuse, "Senior, please."
The old lady walked into the formation, Gou Liang put on Taoist robes and vestments, and at the moment when Zi Shi arrived, he sacrificed the bronze wine bottle and shouted: "Yuan Shi'an Town, tell all spirits. Yuedu is the real official, and the land is only spirit. Keep your position and guard the altar. Convert to the Dao, Yuan Henry Zhen. I respect the Supreme Lord as urgent as a law!"
A ray of purple-golden light poured out from Gou Liang's fingertips, pouring on the bronze wine bottle placed on the eye of the formation.
In an instant, the light appeared.
The four directions were as bright as day, and countless black spots of light emerged from the Soul Shifting Formation, with different shades, densely intertwined, like an endless starry sky.
But the old lady knew that these black dots represented the polluted souls of those who entered the battle.
The bronze wine bottle was coated with a layer of golden light, radiant, and the golden runes flowing in the wine bottle rotated seven to forty-nine times in the wine bottle, and then flew out of the wine bottle, matching the black light. Point the collision, and dispel the black karma with golden luster.
The logistics staff of the special operations team guarding outside Futaba Middle School only saw the light blooming around the soul-shifting formation, illuminating the entire city at once.
"Damn it, hurry up and arrange for people to disconnect from the Internet, absolutely don't allow people to film and spread this phenomenon."
The sight in front of them was breathtaking, but none of them had the intention to watch it—such a big movement, I am afraid that no matter what astronomical visions they used, it would be difficult to deceive the crowd.
However, the team member in charge of controlling the situation came back soon and excitedly said, "Boss, which one do you want to hear, good news or bad news?"
"What's the matter with you at this time! Tell me!"
"The good news is that the citizens of Futaba tonight are all good babies who go to bed early and get up early. We swept fifty streets, and no one was awake. The bad news is that there was too much movement, and people from neighboring cities and suburbs were filming photos, we are now cleaning up."
The logistics captain exclaimed: "The Celestial Master is worthy of being a Celestial Master. He hypnotizes a city as soon as he makes a move. It's a blockbuster!"
This can greatly reduce their workload and work difficulty!
Gou Liang, who had been praised as a fortress, was covered in sweat at this time, the bronze wine bottle was already shaking because of the overwhelmed load, and the old lady in the battle was also suffering from the pain of karma.
This formation is too domineering, and at this time it is still trying to absorb the vitality of the people who entered the formation to maintain the operation of the formation.
Gou Liang sternly shouted: "All the gods pay homage, and control the thunder. Slay demons and restrain evil, and forgive thousands of ghosts!"
All of a sudden, there was thunder and thunder from the sky, and nine thunderbolts hit the formation's eyes one after another, and the black ghost energy in the formation suddenly turned gray!
Here's your chance!
Gou Liang immediately sacrificed the Ninefold Soul Returning Pagoda, and the Ninefold Soul Returning Tower was enlarged to its maximum size, sucking the gray hostile energy into the ninth floor with the maximum capacity. And Bi Xia had already sat in the pagoda, inhaling the gray ghostly aura circulating in the pagoda into his body—the filthy ghostly aura is a great tonic for ghosts, especially since the hostile aura that has been dispelled by the thunder has eliminated karma, it is absolutely No pollution and no additions, it is a holy product!
However, the thunder was fierce, and only one tenth of the ghost energy extracted from these hundreds of thousands of living beings was finally absorbed by the Nine Layers of Soul Returning Pagoda, and the rest were smashed into nothingness by the thunder and dissipated between heaven and earth.
When the ninety-nine-eighty-one thunderbolt was about to come to an end, the old lady whose soul was burnt by the karmic fire smiled with relief, "Thank you, Meng Xiaoyou."
A purple-gold ray of merit penetrated into Gou Liang's body - the way of heaven is clear about grievances and grievances, merits and demerits are never the same. Even if the old lady makes a big mistake, the merits she has done for the people and the country will not be erased. It is worthy of the purple-gold merit soul power, converted to as much as 30 million soul coins!
The last thunderbolt fell, and the overwhelmed bronze wine bottle shattered in response. The soul of the old lady disappeared between the sky and the earth, and the light shining on the sky and the earth suddenly withdrew.
Gou Liang took back the nine-level ghost tower, and felt a little relieved when he saw that Bi Xia was still absorbing the gray ghost energy in the ninth-level tower.
Lin Daochang and the others hurried over and were relieved to see that he was safe and sound. After learning that the old lady had lost her soul, although they complained about her, they also sincerely appreciated her kindness at this time, knelt down and kowtowed three times. With a bang to send her off for the last time.
Lin Daochang stood up, and made another big gift to Gou Liang, "Old Daoist, thank the Heavenly Master for fulfillment."
Gou Liang smiled and said, "This is your luck, I dare not take credit for it."
With the golden light added to the body, one can realize the Dao.
Lin Daochang has stagnated in the cultivation base of half-step celestial master for nearly 30 years. Now that he has attained the Tao, he is filled with emotion. Although Gou Liang said so, he still saluted Gou Liang three times sincerely, remembering his kindness in his heart.
It rained all night in Futaba City that night, and the sky cleared up the next day, with rainbows of seven colors hanging from the sky.
The citizens were amazed by this spectacle, and they swiped round and round in their circle of friends.
Someone said: The air today seems to be much fresher than before.
Some people have a fever, some people get better with headaches and backaches without medicine, and some people get rid of their anger and sincerely apologize to their relatives and friends to restore their marriages, families and friendships that were on the verge of collapse.
It was also on such a day of universal celebration that an 80-year-old man disappeared from his home. And this incident, apart from the pain of bringing disaster to that small family, did not cause any waves.
On the other side, Gou Liang hurried back to Qizang Pavilion impatiently. He planned to refine the ghost recovered from the ancient tomb as soon as possible to improve Bi Xia's cultivation level, but the plan was disrupted by two people squatting outside the shop.
Sun Zhuozhuo left behind the young man who had done his fortune-telling well, and shouted to Gou Liang in surprise: "Qining, you are back!"
The fortune teller smiled politely at Gou Liang and said, "This must be Tianshi Meng, and I am Song Lian of Changtianmen."
The young man who looked very young looked Gou Liang up and down, his eyes paused for a moment on the pocket nine-storied pagoda pinned to the keychain on his waist, and then said:
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
