"The core summoning array is in Zhang Mansion not far ahead. It was the residence of a former Ministry of Revenue official, located in the south-west area of the city. It is considered a hidden place for the Southern Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is the most suitable Fengyin acupuncture point for use as a tomb." Yu Lu said in a low voice.
"The Nanming is hiding a tomb? Hey, this Ministry of Revenue official named Zhang really knows how to choose a place. He lives on a tomb." Upon hearing this, Chishou Zhenren was also surprised.
After all, from the perspective of Feng Shui, tombs are not suitable for living people. The conflict between yin and yang will only lead to instability of the house, unrest of livestock, and harm to people and shorten their lifespan.
"Master, you don't know this. This is Chang'an City, the capital city under the feet of the emperor. Naturally, tombs cannot be built here at will. The official surnamed Zhang probably bought this place to build his mansion, but he doesn't live here. It's a case of selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton." Danyangzi is proficient in ghost ways and has some knowledge of these yin and yang taboos.
"Yes, this house has been vacant for a long time, so it was quietly occupied by people from the Body Refining Altar a long time ago." Yu Lu nodded and said.
"Fellow Daoist, you specifically mentioned the matter of 'Nanming Hidden Yin'. Is there anything special that we should pay attention to?" Shen Luo asked.
"Of course. Nanming represents fire, which belongs to the yang element in the Five Elements. However, its central location has become a place where evil spirits are hidden because of a water vein extending from the direction of Xuanwu Gate underground. It was originally the burial place of the elders of the official Zhang's family. Now it has been converted into a summoning array by the monks of the Body Refining Altar. We are going to destroy it here." Yu Lu said.
"In this case, let's go now without further delay," said Master Chishou.
"Everyone, please wear this before you go." Yu Lu said.
After saying that, he turned his wrist, and five talismans drawn on green frost paper appeared in his palm.
Shen Luo's eyes fell on the green talisman. Seeing a human figure drawn in the middle, his brows furrowed and he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, what are you going to do with this puppet talisman for us?"
When Danyangzi and his companions heard this, their faces darkened.
"I told Master Huaiyang who was stationed in the magic circle that in order to defend the magic circle, he went out to find a few puppet ghosts with suitable cultivation levels, and then left there and came here. How can I take you back reasonably without using this as an excuse?" Yu Lu explained slowly.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"Let me try it first." Seeing this, Lu Huaming took the initiative to say.
After saying that, he picked up a puppet talisman from Yu Lu's hand and put it directly on his chest.
The puppet talisman shone brightly, and a layer of green light spread out, wrapping him up completely. His body then stiffened and he could not move.
However, his spiritual thinking was not affected and was able to function independently.
Yu Lu pinched a spell with one hand and chanted a few words softly. The green light on Lu Huaming's body did not dissipate, but he could move on his own.
"What's going on?" Lu Huaming asked.
"None of the people guarding the formation are fools. If they are discovered using fake puppet talismans, the mission will fail. So before you take action, your spiritual consciousness can function on its own, but your bodies will be controlled by me, no different from puppets." Yu Lu said.
