When I was a Taoist

Chapter 32 Vitality Deprivation
Among Taoist priests, each faction has its own special way of constructing formations.For example, Fan Chen's faction, if they want to build a formation, the most basic thing is the wooden stake in his hand.

This wooden stake is called the "soul fixing stake". It is rumored that their ancestors can directly seal a ghost with this wooden stake.With the soul-fixing stake, you can lock the surrounding aura, and prevent the ghosts in the formation from escaping.

The most basic formation requires three soul-fixing stakes, and as the difficulty of the formation increases, more soul-fixing stakes are required.This formation requires five soul-fixing stakes, which is also the current limit of mortals, so he is not particularly sure in his heart.

Place the five soul-fixing stakes evenly, forming a circle with a radius of one meter.And the formation eye is just in the center of the circle.After finishing the first step, Fan Chen took out five more talismans and pasted them on the fixed soul stakes.As the sky was getting darker, my spiritual sense could clearly feel the fluctuations emanating from each soul-fixing stake.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Chen sprinkled some black powder that I didn't recognize near the soul-fixing pile, and then pinched the finger with his right hand, muttering something in his mouth.A few minutes later, he stamped his foot in the vicinity, and the accumulated black powder suddenly formed a series of complex marks as if he had been guided.

Seeing my surprised gaze, Fan Chen flicked his bangs and said triumphantly: "It's just some tricks, don't be so surprised."

"Pretentious!" I complained in my heart, but I still envy Fan Chen.

Just a few years older than me, I know so many Taoism, and there are researches on formations.Look at me again, if Gao Liang hadn't passed on a book about ghosts, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how to draw a spell.

It's really people-to-people, maddening people.

But I later found out that on the surface it looks so beautiful, young and promising, but in fact it has sacrificed a lot.

It is said that there is no fairness in this world, but it is indeed fair.If you don't pay, even a genius is destined not to become an excellent Taoist priest.

Around each soul-fixing stake, imprints were drawn according to the gourd painting. Finally, Fanchen lit three incense sticks, bowed respectfully towards the south, and inserted the incense sticks in the center of the circle, which is near the tree trunk.

At this time, the village head came over and asked, "Two fellow Taoists, I wonder how your formation is going."

Fan Chen patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the village head, the zero-point formation can be activated tonight. Everyone will know if it will be useful at that time."

I don't know if it's because of the sense of accomplishment, Fan Chen's voice was especially loud this time, and the Taoist priests watching the excitement nearby could hear it clearly.Most of the people looked at this scene with curious eyes, and also wanted to know whether this formation was effective or not.But there are still a few cold eyes, but they are staring at me and Fanchen.

In order to prevent others from destroying the formation, Fanchen and I have been waiting nearby, not letting anyone approach.Until 11:30, when Misty Village fell into a deep sleep, we still insisted on staying here.

While driving away the mosquitoes, I complained: "When this problem is solved, I will never come to Xiangxi again."

Fan Chen smiled, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, you keep an eye on it here."

After speaking, he turned into a corner and disappeared.

Just a few seconds after Fan Chen left, I suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind.There is no trace of ghost or corpse in this cold wind, it is completely human attack!
I turned sideways subconsciously, and then a flying knife brushed past my shoulder.Turning around hastily, I saw a black figure galloping towards me, the long sword in his hand shone with a palpitating coldness.

"Go to hell!"

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow came to me, and the long sword in his hand pierced my heart at a tricky angle.With my keen reflexes, I narrowly dodged the sword, and then hurriedly escaped from the shadow on my feet.

From his first shot, I knew that I was definitely not his opponent.Only by delaying time can we wait for Fan Chen to come back and deal with him together.

Seeing that I wanted to escape, when the black shadow was about to catch up with the sword, five groups of flames suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then flew towards the soul-fixing post.As flames ignited on each soul-fixing stake, a red circle suddenly appeared on the ground, covering the black shadow just right.

At this moment, Fan Chen came out from the darkness, looked at the black shadow and sneered, "We had expected that there would be traitors in the village, and they would come to destroy the formation, so we made this formation to welcome you. How is it, does it feel like Surprised?"

Hei Ying glanced at the rising flames around him, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's too naive to trap me just because you are a child!"

After finishing speaking, Hei Ying swung his sword and wanted to rush out of the formation, but a ball of fire shot out from each soul-fixing stake and shot straight at him.Although it was not powerful enough to hurt him at all, it also forced him to retreat again and again, in a panic.

A sword shattered the fireball, and the black shadow sneered disdainfully: "You have worked so hard to shoot down the formation, but you can't hurt me at all, so what's the use?"

"This formation cannot defeat you, but it is enough to trap you!"

As my voice fell, Mochizuki's figure suddenly swept over from the roof, and a palm was directly printed on the back of the black shadow.

"Pfft."

Being attacked by Mochizuki, Soi Ying spat out a mouthful of blood, and his momentum became much weaker.He just wanted to escape at this time, but found that he was already injured, and it would take a lot of effort to escape from the formation, let alone escape from Mochizuki.

Looking at the sluggish black shadow, Mochizuki shook her head, and said in a deep voice: "I think your gait and sword skills are absolutely correct as a Taoist priest. We should have maintained balance and eradicated ghosts, but we didn't expect you to fight against such a person." Complicity."

The black shadow seemed to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered in a creepy voice: "Maintaining balance? Only when you get what you want, is it called balance! He can give me what I want, why don't I cooperate with him?" ?”

"You're hopeless."

Mochizuki shook his head, and his voice became colder: "Give him his location, and I can send your body back to your hometown. Otherwise, you never need to think about reincarnation."

Hearing this, Soi Ying trembled and said in a low voice, "Are you threatening me?"

Mochizuki is fully capable of breaking up his soul as well, so that he has no hope of entering reincarnation.This was undoubtedly the cruelest punishment for him.

After hesitating for a while, Heiying suddenly became mad, and laughed loudly: "Anyway, he will never let me go, so it's better to find someone from you. Just wait and see, no one in the entire Misty Village can escape Overcome this catastrophe!"

After finishing speaking, the black shadow suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Mochizuki.The latter subconsciously slapped it, directly depriving him of all vitality.
