Xiao Ma was stunned when he heard that, "Aren't ghosts just ghosts? They are illusory in themselves, how can they eat corpses?"
Ye Shaoyang explained: "This kind of ghost is not a ghost after human death. If a human ghost stays in the human world, it can only be cultivated with virtual things such as "essence, energy and spirit" at first, such as corpse energy or evil spirit. But This kind of ghoul comes from the ghost domain, which is rare in the human world. In the ghost domain, it has always cultivated by eating various corpses. When it comes to the human world, of course it eats human corpses.
They are generally summoned to the human world by some sorcerers, who use corpses to lure them and make use of them. Will not actively harm living people, but if someone messes with it, it is not vegetarian. "
"Of course the corpse is not Su," Xiao Ma grinned, "Then what kind of ghoul is this, could it be summoned by that Gu Master?"
"It's very possible," Ye Shaoyang didn't hide his thoughts, "The old village head said that the first time a corpse was eaten in the village was more than two years ago, when the Gu master built a house in Jiuyin Mountain, exactly three years ago. Before, maybe not long after he came here, he let the ghoul out."
Xiao Ma said: "Release the ghoul, what good does it do him?"
Ye Shaoyang's expression became serious, he looked around, and said: "From entering the village to now, I have carefully looked at the terrain here. There is a formation here. Within a radius of one or two miles, the resentment is lingering. It seems that the formation The existence of it is to satisfy the cultivation of ghouls.
But did you find a problem? There are not many people in this small village, and even fewer people died. The ghoul even opened up the ancestral graves many years ago, looking for meat everywhere, but he has been entrenched in this village and has not gone to other places. Do you know why they dig graves and eat meat? "
Xiao Ma shook his head, "Not only did he not eat corpses elsewhere, he didn't kill anyone."
Ye Shaoyang said: "It doesn't kill people because it's a ghoul. According to the ghost domain contract, it can't kill people on its own initiative. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have the ability to kill people. As for it staying in this place and not leaving, that's because it can't kill people." Get out of this formation.
This formation seems to help it find food and cultivate, but in fact, it is using it to trap the souls of those eaten corpses in the formation, constantly generating resentment. What the people who set up the formation wanted was this powerful resentment to complete their plan. "
Xiao Ma's mouth grew slowly, and he said, "What plan?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "This place is just one of the four places marked on the map, plus the Seventh Grandma Temple in the middle, there are five formations in total, connected with each other, and combined together, it is the five ghosts moving mountains formation."
"Five ghosts moving the mountain formation..." Xiao Ma repeated, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Does it mean that there are five ghosts in total? The ghoul is just one of them?" Seeing Ye Shaoyang nodding, he was startled, and hurriedly asked again : "What are the other four ghosts?"
"I don't know either. Let's kill this ghoul first and break the formation here." After Ye Shaoyang finished speaking, he casually grabbed the sky above his head, and when he went back, there was a middle-aged man in his hand. hands begging for mercy.
"I'm not cowardly, and I actually wandered over to my head." Ye Shaoyang knew that he was the wronged ghost in this village, he didn't know much, and he had nothing to ask, so he directly used the magic talisman to save him, and said to the pony: "I want to deal with it." That ghoul, you have to take all the evil ghosts in this area first, so as not to be manipulated by the ghoul, which is very troublesome. This matter has to be done by you."
"Me?" Pony was stunned, "Are you kidding me!"
"Listen to me, just now this one just died and doesn't know the rules. The other ghosts are afraid of me and are hiding. If I catch them one by one, I probably won't be able to catch them all in one night. I'll make one for you." When the time comes, turn on the soul-inducing lamp, and walk along the road in the middle of the village, these ghosts will automatically follow you, you go around the village once, and finally come to the 'spirit-inducing road', they will automatically enter the underworld."
Xiao Ma looked at him blankly, and said, "Tell me the truth, is there any danger?"
Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and said, "It's not too dangerous, but some ghosts are a bit scary. Anyway, you have seen many horrible and disgusting ghosts, so you should be immune."
Xiao Ma rolled his eyes, "You eat every day, don't you still feel hungry? I'll try my best, where will you be then?"
"I will be far away, and drive away the ghosts who are too far away and not attracted by the soul lamp."
After Ye Shaoyang finished speaking, he greeted the pony to come to the cemetery. At this time, the mourners had all gone back. Ye Shaoyang found a good place, and planted more than a dozen purple flags on the ground along the way, facing each other, forming a "Taiyi" At the end of the passage in the shape of "B", place an incense burner, insert three bunches of three-color incense sticks, and two red candles.
This is called "fragrance without yin, red light leads the way".
After finishing this set, Ye Shaoyang took out a cinnabar pen and spent a quarter of an hour drawing various patterns of Daoist spells on dozens of talismans, and pasted them on the ground in front of the incense burner according to the eight trigrams. At first glance, the pattern on the talisman is very abstract, so I don't know why. Quickly asked: "What kind of talisman is this?"
"The wind and thunder talisman, the four yangs are the wind, and the four yins are the thunder. If there are ghosts who don't want to be saved, this wind and thunder talisman can give them a ride."
After speaking, Ye Shaoyang started to make the ghost lamp. At first Xiao Ma thought it was like in the movie, holding a lantern in his hand, looking for the whereabouts of ghosts everywhere. In the end, Ye Shaoyang just wrote three talismans, pasted them on the top of his head, and on both sides of his shoulders. After reciting the incantation, he said, "Okay, the soul lamp is on, and you can go."
Little Ma looked at him anxiously, "Where's the lamp?"
"Your three life lamps are soul-attracting lamps. Ghosts are like moths and have phototaxis characteristics. I have already turned on the three life lamps on your body. As long as they see it, they will post it immediately."
Pony trembled all over, and finally realized that he was the so-called soul lamp, and suddenly felt a strong anxiety, "Little Yezi, what if a ghost comes to pinch me?"
"Your three life lamps have been turned on. The ghosts can't hurt you. They can scare you at most, because they have too much resentment and don't want to go to the underworld. When the time comes, they will try their best to harass you and make you retreat. You must stand up." Hold on, remember not to turn your head, otherwise the yang energy exhaled from your mouth and nose will blow out the life lamp on your shoulders, and ghosts will be able to get on your body.
As long as you can stand it, the ghost will have no choice but to obediently follow you when it sees that it can't scare you. I will give you another soul-calling bell, you have to keep ringing all the way, and the ghosts will follow you. That's it, you go, don't go too fast, don't go too slow, come here in a big circle, enter the soul-inducing way! "
After finishing speaking, Ye Shaoyang stuffed the Soul Calling Bell into the pony's hand, pushed him on the back, watched him walk away, sneaked into the grass, took out the mahogany sword, and waved it in the air. He rushed out from the damp place, heard the sound of the soul-calling bell, saw three soul-calling lamps, and floated out uncontrollably...
