The dark wooden sign was only the size of a palm and was shaped like an old token. It was engraved with many strange and strange symbols. I could only recognize a few square small seal characters in the middle, which were a person's birth date.

The strange thing is that where the birth date is engraved, there is a transparent hole in the front and back. Blood is constantly flowing in the hole, giving people the feeling that this small wooden sign is alive. My knife was clearly stabbed in it.

The fake green bamboo eventually left traces on the small wooden sign.

Brother Yaozi frowned and knelt down to pick up the small wooden sign. He saw that the small wooden sign suddenly started to struggle violently, trembling in his hand, and let out bursts of shrill screams. The strange things on the wooden sign

The symbols moved accordingly, and gradually pieced together the shape of a human face. It looked like a man, wailing in pain...

All this was very short. In the blink of an eye, the symbol gradually faded away, and the human face disappeared into nothingness. The wooden sign no longer bled, and only a wisp of black air floated out from the small hole, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Wan Niang'er stared at the wooden sign for a moment and sighed: "There is a person here, and now his soul is gone."

"Zizi brand."

Brother Yaozi said in a deep voice: "After all, he is a substitute."

I sneered and said: "It's normal. Lao Bai also said that most of the charlatans are low-level people who only hide behind their backs to harm others. They are so weak and pitiful. How can such people be in danger themselves?

But after killing her substitute, she must also feel very uncomfortable at this time, right?"

Having said that, I have to admit in my heart that this bastard has some abilities.

There are many substitutes in this world, such as the living servants of our ritual officials and the paper figures under the hands of the papermakers. There are too many weird and strange substitutes to mention, among which the cellar card is considered a very clever one.

The most important thing about this kind of stand-in card is a piece of pure cassia wood.

In the Loess Plateau, people in northern Shaanxi will dig a kind of cave on the cliff. It is very narrow and can only accommodate one or two people. It is generally used to avoid soldiers and bandits. The name of this cave is

son.

Since the name of Zizimu contains the word "Zizi", it is because it has the same effect but different approaches, but this kind of beauty can only be experienced by ghosts.

This is a carbon-colored tree that grows in dark places all year round. Because the surrounding area is extremely yin, and the yin pole generates yang, this thing itself can restrain ghosts.

It is said that for ghosts, the inside of the cellar tree extends in all directions, with caves similar to the cellar, connected to each other, forming a maze that cannot be broken out. This object is not so much a restraint of ghosts as it is more suitable for imprisoning ghosts.

.

In the past, when our ceremonial officials buried people, if the deceased had transformed before being buried, they would pick cassia wood to make a coffin, throw the deceased into it, nail the coffin with seven-inch nails, and send it into the grave with gongs and drums.

In the pit, I don’t know whether the deceased will be buried in peace. Anyway, it can’t come out, and the living will be peaceful and peaceful.

Although the cellar plate is not as generous as the cellar coffin, it is equally effective in that it can trap ghosts. Some sorcerers use it as a substitute for themselves, and they engrave their own birthdays and horoscopes on the outside of the cellar plate, as well as some characters related to black witches.

This process is called "imitation skin painting and bone painting", which is similar to how women dress up and paint the ghosts in the Zanzi brand to look like themselves. The last step is to use a drop of their own efforts to worship the Lianzi.

card, so that you can control the cellar card as you wish.

This kind of stand-in is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and is quite clever. I killed the Zizipai and ruined every drop of Yaji's hard work. She will definitely be traumatized and will not be very comfortable. To put it in a layman's terms, her head must be buzzing now.

It felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer and hit me hard on the back of my head.

Brother Yaozi weighed the tiles in his hand, looked back at me and asked, "When it comes to playing tricks, I can't keep up with you. Since you have been so cowardly and coy in accompanying her to perform for a long time, I guess you already have an idea in your mind about what to do next."

Bar?"

"You also said that the target of this bastard is me and Xiaozhi, so it is not an accident that she was discovered by Qingzhu before. I guess Qingzhu fell into her trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain and was lured away long ago, so that she could

So that we can take care of us. One wrong move and every step behind us, now we can no longer rely on Qingzhu, we have to rely on ourselves."

I thought for a moment and then said: "There is an old saying that goes well, if you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you will go to the tiger mountains. Since we already know that she used tricks to kill the captives, then we will defeat her tricks. Today I

You really have to go up the mountain lying on the thorns."

Brother Yaozi's eyes flashed and he asked, "Are you worried about my uncle?"

I sighed and nodded silently. One thing was certain. Everything that Brother Yao Zi knew was clearly understood by that bastard. My master was mentioned in the story he made up. I can't guarantee whether he would know it.

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and directly entered the Zhenwu Temple!

A half-step heavenly master who is in seclusion is even more fragile than an ordinary person. If he is harassed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Although this possibility is very small, it is a peaceful place of Taoism, blessed by ancestors, and evil spirits generally dare not go there, but as long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, I will not dare to gamble and must rush back overnight!

"I know a place!"

Brother Yaozi said softly: "This place may be helpful to your plan."

I am far less familiar with the mountain roads near Zhenwu Temple than Brother Yaozi. The place where I have been active so far is the mountains in front and back of Zhenwu Temple. In this case, I heard Brother Yaozi is right. I immediately packed up my things and asked the little boy to

Zhi rode on Dahuang and waved his hand to Brother Yaozi to lead the way.

Shalukou is not far from us. Soon, we can see the valleys and ravines in the mountains. Facing the moonlight, looking from a distance, it looks like a big dragon dormant on the mountain, winding upwards.

.

However, Brother Yaozi did not stop here, but took us directly to the west. Soon after, we stopped on the top of a towering mountain.

At this time, Shalukou was at our feet, but the valley was filled with thick fog, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside at a glance.

I know that this is Qimen Dunjia's grand formation still functioning. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the water formation in the Five Elements Formation. The water formation in the dry valley can stimulate the earth's energy and create heavy fog. In fact, it is a

A change in feng shui.

"My uncle told me about this place."

Brother Yaozi sighed: "The ancestors of the Zhenwu Temple helped the Song army fight against the Jin Dynasty here. They once stood here because the valley was a maze of formations, and there were no clues from other places. Only this place was a gap in the formation, but

Here you can clearly see the situation in the formation. He is like a banished immortal, letting countless golden soldiers lie down on their bodies while talking and laughing here!"

Lao Bai muttered: "But you can't see anything clearly here!"

"Willow Leaves Bright Eyes!"

I smiled and said, "If you want to see through the feng shui barrier, try rubbing it with a willow leaf!"

Lao Bai immediately followed the instructions and picked two willow leaves from the side to wipe his eyes. Then he looked at the situation below and shuddered...
