When I was a Taoist

Chapter 36 Trapped in the Formation

Mochizuki smiled and explained: "The walking corpse, that is, the zombie, is the product of the transformation of the corpse. This kind of thing does not have to be destroyed. As long as it can be captured alive, the corpse exorcist can use their special method to refine it, and then For your own use. It’s just that the walking corpse is too cruel, and few people can catch it. This corpse king is naturally a thing that has been successfully refined, and its strength is far beyond other walking corpses.”

Hearing Mochizuki's explanation, I looked at the village head with a lot of admiration.Such a corpse king can be refined, one can imagine how powerful the village chief is.

The village chief waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Taoist Mochizuki was joking. This corpse king was captured by the sacrifice of three corpse hunters. Moreover, he almost counterattacked several times during the refining process, and finally refined it without any danger. Success. Because it is too threatening, it has been sealed here for decades, and it will never be considered unless it is a last resort."

Fan Chen was already a little scared at this time, but looked at the corpse king curiously, and asked: "Village chief, I heard that you have a very special method for refining the corpse king?"

Nodding his head, the village head explained: "If you want to refine a corpse king, you must first find a perfect walking corpse. Then use the method of three yin and three yang to refine for hundreds of days until he Only when the brutality and corpse aura of your body disappears will it be considered a success."

After a pause, the village chief glanced at the corpse king and said with disappointment: "It's a pity that we only caught a walking corpse with perfect conditions, but we don't have the ability to completely refine its corpse energy. So even if it's me, There is no way to guarantee that the corpse king will not run away after the seal is released."

After hearing the words of the village chief, my heart trembled involuntarily.Emotion is a semi-finished product, if it is released, it may help zombies destroy Misty Village?
As if guessing what I was thinking, Mochizuki rubbed my head and comforted me: "Don't worry, have you seen the spell on the corpse king? As long as the spell is still there, the possibility of the corpse king running away will be very small. "

I took a look at the densely packed body of the corpse king, at least hundreds of spells, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dazhi, how long can the formation last?"

I made a rough estimate, and said, "At most, I can last until dawn."

"There's enough time."

Taoist Wangyue nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Whether Miwu Village can escape this catastrophe depends on the performance of this corpse king. The village chief and I are going to undo the seal on it, you two Go and help me find what I need."

Taoist Wangyue asked us to find a peach tree without any impurities and three soul-calling flowers.This soul-calling flower is different from the soul-repelling flower. The latter can capture the soul of a person, but the former can be used as a medicine primer to call back the soul of the deceased.

As soon as I saw the Emancipation Flower, I guessed what Taoist Mochizuki was going to do.

Calling back souls is also a kind of Buddhist ritual that we Taoists often do.If you have any advice to your deceased relatives, or want to know something from their mouths, you can ask a Taoist priest to summon the soul.It's just that the evocation of the soul is not [-]% successful, and the cost is not small, which consumes the mind of the Taoist priest.Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the Taoist circle that the interval between two summons should not be less than three months.

We also have different choices for the method of evocation.Some people are straightforward and choose the upper body.This method is quick and convenient, but it requires extremely high physical fitness and is prone to troubles, so few people choose this method of evocation.

The second method is the one most of us use.No upper body is needed, but more materials are needed, and the details must not be neglected.

Spiritualism is divided into three processes.The first step is to attract the soul. The soul must be drawn out before the next step can be carried out. The second and third steps are soul locking and purification respectively.In this way, the summoned souls will not be cruel and irrational, and it will be much more convenient to communicate with.

Peach trees are easy to find, and the village chief asked us to go directly to his yard and cut a section.But the soul-calling flower, who knows where it can be found, let alone in this kind of dark night.We have no way out of the village, so we can only search in the village.

Two hours later, we almost turned the entire Misty Village upside down, and finally found three soul-calling flowers.Mochizuki nodded with satisfaction and said, "Little guy, you two will also summon souls in the future, so this time I will give you two a demonstration."

After finishing speaking, Mochizuki chopped the peach wood into a piece of wood about ten centimeters long, and then picked up a knife and began to carve carefully.What I noticed was that Mochizuki would dip some red paint with the tip of his knife from time to time.In this way, every time a trace is carved, a red vein will be left behind.

Half an hour later, Mochizuki carved out a ferocious ghost head.Coupled with red paint, it looks more lifelike.Then he took out a bunch of materials I didn't know, mixed them with the spirit flower and mashed them into mud.

Finally, Mochizuki mixed the slime into a glass of liquid, and threw the wood carving into it.After finishing all this, he clapped his hands and said, "After an hour, it's time for us to do it. I have a vague feeling that the formation can't last long."

Hearing this, Fanchen and I couldn't help clenching our fists, looking at Mochizuki nervously.

With a gleam of light in the sky outside the window, Mochizuki took out the wood carving, exchanged a glance with the village head, and said, "It's time, we should do it."

Then Mochizuki turned around and looked at the two of us, and said: "You are waiting at the door, if any trouble arises, run quickly and leave us alone!"

Even at this time, Mochizuki-senpai was worried about our safety and made us feel warm in our hearts.Fan Chen and I nodded, and retreated cautiously to the door, but our eyes stayed on the corpse king.

Taking a deep breath, Mochizuki said, "I'll first set up a formation around it to trap it, and then you unseal the seal, and I'll call back the soul."

After finishing speaking, Mochizuki took six soul-fixing stakes and nailed them around the corpse king.This maze is very simple to set up, but its effect is not small.Once trapped, there is no way to break out unless the formation is forcibly broken.Even according to the size of the corpse king, it would take some time to break the formation, enough for them to summon the soul.

After setting up the formation, Mochizuki wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said with a solemn expression: "Go in now and remove the seal, and then jump out immediately. I will open the formation after you come out. If it is later, you You will also be trapped in the formation, you know?"
