"Big Brother, why didn't you call us?" Complaining voices were heard everywhere.
"I fell asleep too. Hurry up, or we'll be late. Your Senior Brother Wen is ready." Ju Jingbai shouted.
The fellow disciples quickly ran to the water well outside and washed their faces with pumped water.
Because of drunkenness, the place was in a mess.
"The one who will serve the master today is Xiao Qing. He should have used the fake death talisman on the master. The two of you who have washed your faces, come with me to carry the master to the sacrificial site." The tall and thin Taoist priest called two young and strong Taoist priests.
"Big Brother, please go to the sacrificial site and prepare first."
Ju Jingbai nodded and hurried to the sacrificial site following the Taoist priest who had washed his face.
The sacrificial site was chosen long ago. It was a willow forest at the foot of a mountain. The willow forest was nestled against the mountain and close to the water, and it grew quite well. In late autumn, the leaves on the trees were still lush green.
The sacrificial site is quite large and is gathered in a large four-pointed star array. The small four-pointed stars composed of countless red candles represent the four gates of birth, old age, sickness and death.
The young Taoist priests covered the candles with talismans, lit them and put them back in their original places.
The red candle stood upright, and the burning flame flickered fiercely in the wind, but remained unextinguished.
While they were doing it, Xia Qunyi came over with Yuan Ying and the others. The girls were wearing red dresses, and their bracelets and anklets were hung with small bells.
Holding a small white lantern, every step she took would cause the sound of a clear bell to ring, accompanied by choked sobs.
When Ju Jingbai turned his head and took a look, he thought it was a ghost.
"The two people that Senior Brother is missing, I used paper men to fill in. They might be discovered during the sacrificial ceremony. I have also completed most of what you asked me to do."
Xia Qunyi whispered information to Ju Jingbai and quickly separated.
Ju Jingbai took the red hemp rope and followed the little Taoist priest to tie up the girls. Jingjing had already been placed in the center of the sacrificial formation, and the girls were placed in different positions according to Jingjing's location.
"Master is here." The tall and thin Taoist priest carried Qin Yu on a stretcher, walked to the exit of the formation, and placed him carefully.
"Master." "Master." Ju Jingbai shouted along with the Taoists.
She squinted her eyes and looked at Qin Yu. Although Qin Yu didn't breathe, his eyes were open. He just stayed there quietly, and his aura overwhelmed most of the Taoists present. The strong evil spirit on his body made Ju Jingbai's face turn slightly pale. No wonder his disciples were so afraid of him.
At 3:02:07, not a minute more or less, the sacrificial ceremony began.
The Taoists formed a battle formation, and Ju Jingbai, as the eldest brother, was in a separate position.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, life after life..."
The clear sound of bells rang out, and the sounds of life became more and more uniform, and the echoes they caused became louder and louder.
Ju Jingbai covered his eyes with the golden light of merit, watched the blood color on the girls' faces flow, withdrew it, and gathered it on Jingjing.
Jingjing was lying at the bottom of the pit, with fresh vitality covering her whole body. If this sacrifice was not lifted, Jingjing would definitely be crushed by anger.
Gradually you will experience a feeling of fullness and weakness, and become weaker and weaker until death.
If no intervention is made, the girls will explode and bleed to death. Jingjing is a transit station, providing Qin Yu with vitality. After dying from weakness, she is buried as Qin Yu's scapegoat because of their blood relationship.
Ju Jingbai glanced at Qin Yu who was lying at the gate of life. Qin Yu was about to accept the feedback from the gate of life.
She gritted her teeth and kicked hard, breaking off a piece of the candle.
The broken candle, with its flame still burning, fell into the formation and was enveloped by the Yin and Yang Qi, and was extinguished in an instant.
"Damn it! Who the hell is causing this? Xiao Zhou, Xiao Wen, something kicked out my candle." Ju Jingbai shouted, interrupting the Taoists' chanting. "You little bastard, come and help me?"
Hearing Zhou Yin's scolding, several young disciples could no longer sit still.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?" Xiao You shouted.
Qin Yu's corpse glared lightly, and the disciples felt it, and their voices weakened again. It was most taboo to say anything other than eulogies during rituals.
Ju Jingbai unfolded the Thunder Talisman in his hand and silently recited the spell. The even-numbered talismans corresponded exactly to the position of each candle.
The Thunder Talisman was lightly placed on the candle flames, and deep blue thunder flashed out of thin air, blowing each candle into pieces.
The lights in the forest went out, and suddenly it was pitch black. The only sound was the wind blowing through the willow branches, making a startling whipping sound.
"Big Brother, how are you?" The tall and thin Taoist priest brought his men to Ju Jingbai.
Ju Jingbai ignored him, put up the talisman to ward off evil, strode into the formation, and pulled free the rope from Yuan Ying's wrist.
She silently recited the spell to activate the talisman, felt the talisman on her cheek turn to ashes, and then placed another talisman in the palm of her hand on her cheek.
"Oh no! Hold him! He's entered the formation."
"Fuck, this is fucked up! I just felt like something was wrong with Senior Brother!"
"If we enter this formation, won't we destroy Master's sacrifice? Let's continue chanting and use our anger to force him out."
The Taoists of Taiqimen finally realized that this senior brother was not the senior brother they had always respected and loved, but due to Qin Yu's sacrifice, they did not dare to enter the formation directly.
The chanting continued in unison, accompanied by the buzzing sound and the sound of snakes winding through the jungle.
Ju Jingbai felt uncomfortable due to the breath, so she broke the rope on the wrist of the last girl. Turning her head, she saw swarms of hornets and colorful cobras rushing towards her with their tongues spitting out. With the help of the golden light of merit, she could almost see the shape of the cobra's tongue.
Ju Jingbai changed to another talisman to ward off evil, stepped to the right with his right foot, took a horse stance, and grasped the cobra's head with both hands. The veins on its white neck bulged, preventing it from opening its mouth.
He used the cobra's head as a handle and swung the cobra's huge body, closing the space in front of him tightly.
A wasp buzzed around the other end of the cobra.
"Damn, Senior Brother Bai, who is that person? She actually waved Xiaojiu up. That's too much!" The chanting became inconsistent, and a young Taoist priest exclaimed.
"Our Xiaojiu, if I find out who he is, I will raid her hometown." The tall and thin Taoist gritted his teeth and paced anxiously outside the sacrificial formation.
"Senior Brother Wen, can you do this?" Xiao You swallowed.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Wen shook his head and couldn't help but take a half step back. This strength was too terrifying. Even if he relied on talismans, he definitely didn't have such great strength.
"Yuan Ying, take your men to the courtyard over there and find a place to hide, quickly!" Ju Jingbai said hurriedly after getting a moment to breathe.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Yuan Ying was stunned. He responded in a panic and ran downstairs with his men.
"I survived, I really survived, I thought I was going to die." A girl muttered unconsciously.
"Thank you." Before running away, I don't know which girl said with a sob, "Thank you so much."
Ju Jingbai heard it, smiled and nodded, pulled the cobra's head around, and threw it back to the Taoist priest.
The next second, she accurately took out several attacking fire talismans from her trouser pocket. The fire talismans were intertwined together through special techniques to form a large net, which pounced on the hornets. The special burning fragrance emanated from the formation.
The Taiqimen brothers finally couldn't chant any more.
"Brother Bai, are we still going to protect the sacrificial formation?"
"Protection is useless! This formation is completely destroyed. There are so many of us. Let's just attack directly."
"Oh my god, Xiao You, what's wrong with you? Why are you catching me instead of the thief? What the hell has happened to you again?"
Hearing the tall Taoist priest's exclamation, Ju Jingbai lowered his eyes and smiled as he picked Jingjing up.
She had already asked Xia Qunyi to do something to that group of young Taoist priests.
Ju Jingbai didn't notice that when she picked up Jingjing, Qin Yu's body moved.
