The five of us nodded, and then left Li Shigao's bedroom together. Although it was still early, we had to prepare some things to deal with the zombie. The venue was a dead forest on the back mountain of Maoshan. There was a platform in the center of the dead forest. Li Shigao brought us here. This platform looked to be about four or five hundred square meters. It was where the disciples usually practiced martial arts. It was paved with bluestone slabs. Then Li Shigao and the three Taoists Mingliao, Mingli and Mingde started to get busy, setting up the altar. I didn't understand, so I squatted on the side, then took out my backpack and took a look. There was a Jiangchen sword, three 'Falling Banner Talismans', four 'Nine Star Divine Talismans' and nine 'Five Thunderbolt Talismans'.
After thinking about it, these things might be enough. Anyway, I can only use the 'Five Thunders Strike Back Talisman', and using the 'Nine Star Divine Talisman' is still a bit of a stretch. Seeing that it was still early, I sat on the ground, took out a cigarette and started smoking. Maybe Li Shigao did have a good relationship with Mingli and the other two, and he didn't have the usual airs at this moment. Seeing that I was alone here, he put down what he was doing, and walked over to me with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Li Shigao approached and asked me. I smiled and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about how powerful that zombie must be, that you, the head of Maoshan, couldn't suppress it. It seems that even Hanba was beaten away by you at that time. Even if your master is powerful, he has been suppressed by me for so many years and is still unconscious. You really can't beat him?" I asked with my head tilted. I was right. The zombie could live so long because Li Shigao showed mercy. Although Hanba was seriously injured at that time, it was still a red-eyed zombie. Red-eyed zombies and other zombies are two levels of existence, but it was still beaten away by Li Shigao. It stands to reason that Li Shigao couldn't be defeated by his master. [e point]
"Ha, you also have a master. If it were you, would you be able to do that?" Li Shigao smiled bitterly, then his eyes became serious again and he said, "But now I am determined to send him away. He has the Hanba bone, which is too powerful. If he runs away, maybe the second Hanba will come out."
"Really?" I smiled. How should I put it? I had a hunch that Li Shigao would not be able to do it. He was a very sentimental person. From the fact that he put aside the matter of Maoshan and protected me for a year after I lost my memory, I could tell that the relationship between him and his master could not be ordinary. I said, "When we want to kill him, just don't stop us."
Li Shigao smiled bitterly and nodded, without continuing to talk about this issue. Instead, he said: "Someone will come to help us in the evening. You should keep an eye on Li Mingyao and don't let him get too impulsive. [e point]" After saying that, he turned around and left. I wanted to ask something, but I didn't. It was boring to see Li Shigao and the others preaching there.
Time passed slowly, and at five o'clock in the afternoon the altar was finally set up. In fact, it was very easy to set up a Taoist altar, as long as you put up a table or something, but it took Li Shigao a lot of time to set up the formation. The platform paved with bluestone slabs turned out to be a formation as well. Li Shigao said that it was set up by a master from Maoshan in the past. Anyway, he moved all the bluestone slabs up and turned them over. Underneath all the bluestone slabs turned out to be a large Tai Chi Bagua diagram. In the middle of the Bagua diagram was the location of Li Shigao's Taoist altar. In addition, there were huge yellow talismans with a lot of energy hanging on the outermost edge of the platform. It was a very large talisman, but it was rolled up. As soon as the zombies entered the formation, they could put down the yellow talismans, seal the platform, and then catch the turtle in the jar.
Although it is also possible that we are the ones who are at a disadvantage, after all, that zombie is very powerful, and Li Shigao will let us go when he sees him like this, so I was a little worried at this time, but there was no point in worrying, as we couldn't possibly run away now. Then Mingli asked Li Mingyao to go down the mountain to buy food. It only took an hour to go up and down the mountain and back. Li Mingyao ran down and came back at 6:30, and then the six of us ate the meal in the formation and took a rest after eating.
When it was about ten o'clock, we all wiped our tears. Mingde, Mingle and Mingli also changed into a yellow robe with a Tai Chi Bagua painting on the back. The Taoist robe that Li Shigao took out was amazing. It looked golden. Li Mingyao told me that the Taoist robe was made of gold thread and had excellent defense. It was a magic weapon-level thing passed down from generation to generation by the successive leaders of Maoshan. Then Li Shigao took out a copper coin sword and put it on his waist, and then took out a peach wood sword that seemed to be made of thousand-year-old peach wood and put it on his back. He also took out a cloak, oh no, not a cloak, but also a Tai Chi Bagua picture, but it looked like it should be a remarkable treasure.
Seeing that Li Shigao was equipped to the teeth, he looked at himself and sighed. This guy is really better than others. I have to get a set of equipment when I have time. As for Li Mingyao, he was wearing a gray Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword and dagger. Mingde, Mingle and Mingli each had a peach wood sword, which seemed to be of high age.
"Everyone be careful, I'm going to lure that zombie over here." Li Shigao put on a bun after saying this, then made seals with his hands with a serious face and shouted: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, the Tao follows nature, the little ghost leads the demon to see you!" After Li Shigao finished speaking, he took out a tripod, and immediately a palm-sized baby ghost floated out of the small tripod. However, unlike the evil-looking ghost babies I had seen before, this ghost baby had a smile on his face. After coming out, he looked around, then jumped and ran towards the west.
"Everyone be careful." After saying that, Li Shigao picked up the peach wood sword and stared at the west. Mingde, Mingde and Mingli looked very nervous, but it was understandable that even if these guys were very skilled in Taoism, they would become unfamiliar with fighting with ghosts and monsters if they didn't do it often. Maoshan is a holy place of Taoism, and usually there are no monsters that dare to make trouble there. They would have no chance to fight against the monsters that dared to make trouble there.
I don't know what Li Mingyao's mentality was, but I was very calm anyway, because I had Li Shigao to support me, because I knew that Li Shigao should be able to beat the zombie, but he just didn't want to do it. The wind tonight was particularly strong, blowing the branches outside the formation creaking. After waiting for about ten minutes, when I was almost out of patience, Li Shigao suddenly yelled, "Here it comes!"
