"Five...five ghosts?!" Xianglan looked at me in shock.
I didn't answer her, but looked at my phone. It was already past ten o'clock at night, and I had spent a lot of time making these preparations.
"Don't ask so many questions. I still have a task for you. You can help me convey it to the villagers in the guardian circle! This is related to whether everyone can get out alive tonight!"
After saying that, I whispered a few words in her ear. After listening, Xianglan nodded with a solemn expression, then turned and walked into the circle of guardians.
"Master Lin, what should the four of us do now?"
The eldest of the four brothers came to me and asked.
I picked up some strands of willow branches from the ground that I had braided before, and distributed them to the four brothers.
"The four of you gather around the circle of guardians and don't let anything get close. As long as it comes from outside the City God's Temple, whether you recognize it or not, once it gets close, beat it with willow branches to drive it away. Leave the rest to me!"
The second child pointed at the walls surrounding the Chenghuang Temple and asked worriedly:
"Then what if we come in from the back or the side?"
"No, I've placed saponins soaked in French water around the wall. Normally, Taoist people will just keep their distance, so they will only enter through the main entrance. Don't worry about this."
The four of them nodded, stopped talking nonsense, and turned around to stand in their own places.
I took a deep breath, closed the courtyard door and the temple door, and then came to the front of the Dharma Protector Circle, directly opposite the courtyard door, and began to wait quietly...
The night in the countryside is very quiet. According to the living habits of the villagers, lights have been turned off at this time on weekdays, but today is different. The villagers sitting in the circle of guardians all have their eyes wide open and are watching vigilantly.
Surrounding situation…
Time passed by, and some people couldn't bear it any longer. Not long after, snoring came from the crowd. I looked back at the four brothers.
"You are not allowed to sleep."
"knew!"
At this moment, a faint "rustling" sound suddenly came from outside the yard, like someone dragging heavy steps on the ground. The sound was very dense, but the walking was very slow.
"rustle…"
The sound is getting clearer and closer...
I immediately became alert and stared at the blood-red courtyard door, as if my heart was slowing down with the "rustling" outside the door.
"What...what is this sound?"
The fourth child closest to me asked in a trembling voice.
"Stop talking, they are coming!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the rustling sound outside the door suddenly stopped!
There was a loud "Bang!" and the courtyard door shook suddenly, and then I heard a heavy groan!
Something is banging on the door!
"Bang bang bang..." A series of banging sounds on the door followed, and the villagers behind me also woke up one after another.
"We... everyone in our village should be in the City God's Temple. Who is banging on the door outside? Is it... is it really Shigu?!"
I don't know who shouted, which added a bit of gloom to the already tense atmosphere.
"Everything is ready, coming in!"
With a crisp sound of "Pa!", the courtyard door was finally pushed open, and a gust of wind blew in, causing the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly!
I saw a figure staggering across the threshold and walked in. I looked closely and saw that it was a man in his thirties. This man's face was bloodless, his eyes were pure black without the whites of his eyes, his clothes were in tatters, and he was still going on.
Green ghost blood is flowing out!
He must have been burned by the chicken blood smeared on the door when he hit it just now.
“Da Kuan!!!”
Someone shouted, and then a woman rushed out of the circle of guardians.
"This is my brother Dakuan!" the woman cried.
"Boy, stop her!"
I turned around and shouted, then rushed out with a quick step, holding the palm of my hand and shining it on the broad forehead, but just when my palm was about to touch his forehead, a cold woman's hand
grabbed my arm.
I was startled and turned around quickly to see a woman in red sneering at me. I was stunned when I saw her face clearly.
Her lips were blue and black, her right eye was blood red, but her left eye was white, and there was a shallow scar in the eye socket.
"What? You don't recognize me? You poked my left eye blind!"
The woman's cold and resentful voice came from between her teeth.
"Shigu!"
“It’s really Shigu!!!”
Everyone in the guardian circle panicked and began to shout in alarm. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Fortunately, the four brothers were able to stabilize the situation temporarily.
I paused and saw that my left hand was caught. I immediately formed a magic seal with my right hand to gather energy and hit Shigu in the face. However, Shigu retreated and avoided the blow.
I stared blankly at the red dress on her body and asked sharply:
"Covered in red satin! The Five Ghosts Gathering Yin you clothed has been completed?!"
"hehe…"
Shi Gu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times,
"Yes, but they asked for it! Originally, I just wanted to kill a few people to vent my hatred, but I didn't expect that they found an old Taoist priest to deal with me. It's a pity that the Taoist priest is a magic stick, and he is actually doing evil things.
He helped me build a stone statue..."
After hearing what she said, I understood in my heart that the stone statue not only became her dharma body, but also provided her with a place to gather Yin, making it convenient for her to complete the gathering of Yin from the five ghosts.
Five Ghosts Gathering Yin, as the name suggests, can quickly improve the moral character of one of the five ghosts in a short period of time by gathering the Yin Qi of the five ghosts. Now Shi Gu has only been dead for a few short years, but she is already draped in red satin, at least.
With the cultivation of a top-notch fierce ghost, in time he will definitely become the leader of ghosts!
Just when I was stunned, three more figures came in outside the courtyard gate. They were also people killed by Shi Gu. Now the five ghosts had finally gathered together.
I turned to the boss closest to me and said:
"I'm here to deal with Shi Gu. The other four ghosts have very little Yin Qi left in their bodies and have little cultivation. All you need to do is beat them with willow branches. If you really can't handle it, pour them with the excrement of the three animals to kill them.
As long as the current Taoism is stained with filth, its ghost body will definitely be broken!"
"clear!"
I took a deep breath and rushed towards Shigu with Tiangang steps. Since I didn’t have any magic weapon in hand, I could only use the magic seal at close range!
But she had no intention of fighting with me. She just swayed past me and rushed towards the people in the circle of guardians.
My heart sank, and I quickly sprinkled a handful of red saltpeter powder!
"呲呲" A corrosive sound came, and Shigu's body paused. I took advantage of the situation and went up to meet her. I dipped a touch of cinnabar on my right index finger, quickly wrote the word "Edict" on the palm of my left hand, and gave her a hard blow on the back of her heart.
Shoot, and shouted:
"Yin and Yang are infinite, the universe borrows the law! Break it!"
