Taoist Luo then asked Ma Simo to bring seven lighted candlesticks and place them around the altar to form the shape of the Big Dipper.
For a moment, fireworks were flying in the courtyard, calming everyone who saw them.
Seeing that Taoist Luo had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Ma Simo's expression calmed down a bit.
Taoist Luo stood solemnly in the middle of the seven candlesticks. He raised his hand and bit his finger, silently practicing his internal energy. Seven drops of blood flew out and landed right on the flames of the seven candlesticks.
With a "puff", the flames of the seven candlesticks suddenly grew several times larger and burned fiercely.
Ma Simo couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this.
The wizards he had invited these days were just playing around and performing like a big show. This was the first time he had seen such genuine magical powers. It seemed that he could really be saved.
Ma Simo was excited, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Dao Ren was suddenly different.
"Huh... This time, activating the Seven Star Array has consumed a lot of my blood and energy. After this, I will need to meditate for at least three years before I can recover." Taoist Luo staggered and said with a long sigh.
"My Immortal, you have lost so much of your cultivation for the affairs of my Ma family. I am willing to donate another two hundred taels of gold to make up for your loss. But you must get rid of that ghost." Ma Simo said immediately after hearing this.
"Don't worry, Master Ma. The Seven Star Formation has been set up. No matter how powerful the ghost is, it can't escape from my grasp!" Taoist Luo showed his teeth slightly, and his snow-white teeth reflected the surrounding firelight, very brilliant.
Shen Luo stood aside, lowered his head quickly, and strained his face to hold back the smile in his heart.
The aura of Taoist Luo did not decrease at all, so there was no sign of a serious loss in his cultivation. As for the sudden increase in the flame of the lamp, it was because Taoist Luo took the opportunity to shoot out seven strands of magic power when he shot out the blood drops.
If I hadn't been a Qi Refining cultivator now and could see some of the tricks, I would have been like Ma Simo and the others, shouting out to the gods. Luo Daoren usually looked cold, but he was so skilled at extorting money.
Taoist Luo took a short rest and then began to draw talismans at his desk.
Shen Luo saw that Taoist Luo was drawing a talisman that was quite similar to the ghost-exorcising talisman, so he concentrated on observing it. However, Taoist Luo drew very quickly, and his brushwork was dazzling, as he drew one after another with almost no pause.
In just a short while, he had drawn more than twenty pictures.
"Post these talismans in all the rooms and courtyards of your house, making sure no one is left out. At the same time, call everyone in the house here!" Taoist Luo left a talisman on the altar and handed the others to Ma Simo, giving his instructions solemnly.
Ma Simo did not dare to delay and immediately called a few servants to paste the talismans separately. Then he called the whole family, young and old, and the servants into the yard. There were as many as twenty or thirty people, including Ma Simo's seventy-year-old mother, who were all carried out on a couch.
After everyone was present, Taoist Luo pulled out the sword that had been hanging on his back, which turned out to be a peach wood sword.
The blade of the wooden sword is deep red with clear textures, and one can feel the strong evil-dispelling positive energy emanating from the sword from a long distance.
"What a nice peach wood sword!" Shen Luo's eyes lit up.
He had read quite a few miscellaneous books and had some understanding of the peach wood sword, the Taoist's most commonly used exorcist item. He knew that peach wood, also known as "dragon-subduing wood," had the power to exorcise evil spirits and control ghosts, and that the older the tree and the darker the color, the stronger its ability to exorcise evil spirits.
