Lingbao and Liu Yu raised their eyebrows and stuck out their tongues, knowing that they were almost in trouble.
Liu Yu didn't know what was going on, but the red line was wrapped around it, and there were quite a few talismans attached to the end of the line. It felt strange, but it also made people feel suddenly serious.
She silently accompanied the two of them. Time passed quietly, and a complex Bagua diagram gradually took shape under their hands.
As the last ink mark fell, Zhuang Moxing breathed a sigh of relief and retracted the spiritual energy in his body into his dantian.
The eight trigrams, with eight straight sides and tightly-spaced black lines, appear on the ground.
However, at present, there is only form but no spirit. The spiritual energy in Zhuang Moxing's body is a little insufficient, so he needs to wait until tomorrow to continue. He stood up with the inkstone.
Behind him, Liu Yu looked at him with sharp eyes and a strong desire for knowledge. Zhuang Moxing pulled up Lingbao who was still squatting on the ground without saying a word and put away the black line on the mouth of the inkstone.
"To prepare for the apocalypse you mentioned, Lingbao said his little talisman is effective against zombies, so this formation will probably be useful as well."
Liu Yu took a half step back to let the two of them into the house. She was quite surprised. It turned out that binding Zhuang Moxing was her most correct decision.
"What is the purpose of this formation?"
Upon entering, Zhuang Moxing placed his inkstone into the cloth bag by the door and replied, "The red line marks the boundary. Zombies can't advance beyond the two floors and the area all the way to the door of Apartment 217. The Bagua diagram is the center of the formation. The closer you are to the center, the stronger the defense."
As he walked further in, he continued, "The spiritual energy contained in the center of the formation is limited, and the range of spiritual energy consumption will gradually shrink."
Liu followed behind and nodded in understanding. Does this mean that this formation will keep the zombies out of the area?
"What if someone transforms into a zombie within the formation?"
This problem is indeed possible. Can the mutated zombies inside act recklessly?
He turned around and stared at Liu Yu motionlessly, a hint of smile in his eyes: "You've got the point, but don't worry. If zombies appear in the area, the formation will first drive them away, but it will consume more spiritual energy."
Consume more spiritual energy?
"Can the spiritual energy in the formation be replenished?"
Zhuang Moxing shook his head. "I've only learned about this formation from ancient books, and I've never actually set one up. This is all I can do right now. Replenishing spiritual energy is currently out of my reach."
Liu Yu walked to the sofa, put down her backpack, stroked her chin with one hand, and thought, then she would have to check after the end of the world to see if anyone had fainted in the formation.
At that time, no matter whether they can transform into zombies or become superpowers, they will all be moved outside the formation to avoid wasting the spiritual energy of their small formation.
Such a useful formation cannot be used on these inexplicable zombies.
But why is this formation only halfway done? If the stairs on the other side are also included, wouldn't the safe area be larger?
Thinking of Liu Yu, I asked.
"Why are you only doing the floor area on the right side? Why not circle the other side as well?"
Zhuang Moxing half-knelt in the middle of the living room, collecting all the small objects left on the ground from the formation. Just as he was about to answer, he was interrupted by the snorting Lingbao beside him.
"The uncle next door said we were superstitious and that he kept losing at games. He told Lingbao to get out and wouldn't let my senior brother do anything... so we could only do one side of it."
Lingbao was so angry that his two little eyebrows flew up like a machine gun, and he imitated the fierce tone of the man next door to Liu Yu.
After saying this, Lingbao's anger finally subsided a little, and his eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile. He pulled Liu Yu's hand, and his disappointment was swept away. "Luckily, the sister on the other side said that Lingbao and Senior Brother can draw whatever they want. Only then can Lingbao learn the formation from Senior Brother, hehe——"
Liu Yu looked at him with a smile on her lips: "Really? Lingbao is really eager to learn. You work so hard. It seems that you will surpass your senior brother in no time."
It must be said that the preparations made by Zhuang Moxing made her feel more at ease. She helped Zhuang Moxing put away the things in the living room and accidentally noticed that the table was covered with a dish cover.
Bending down to throw the garbage into the trash can, he casually asked, "Are there any leftovers on the table? Didn't you finish your lunch?"
Zhuang Moxing paused as he picked up the talisman paper fragments, shook the half-full garbage bag in his hand, and said, "Lingbao pestered me for meat patties tonight, so I made some. I wasn't sure if you'd be home for dinner, so I saved some for you. You can have some if you don't mind."
Lingbao blinked his eyes and tilted his head in confusion. When did he say that?
However, Lingbao was very happy to have fresh meat patties for dinner. The fresh ones were hotter than the previous ones. The dry ones were much more delicious.
"Sister Xiao Yu, have you eaten yet? The meat patties made by Senior Brother are delicious."
It would be fine if the food wasn't mentioned, but when Liu Yu mentioned it, her stomach immediately started to act like an empty city, not wanting to miss out on any edible food.
Liu Yu was not someone who would be hypocritical or polite. She was so happy that Zhuang Moxing had saved some food for her that she didn't mind at all.
I immediately went to the kitchen to wash my hands and went to the table. I lifted the cover and saw a large plate of meat patties, no less than eight of them.
It must have been cooked not too long ago, as there was still a golden sheen of oil on the golden crust. The moment the lid was lifted, a rich aroma of fresh meat hit me in the face.
I can't stand it anymore.
Liu Yu immediately picked up a meat pie as big as her palm and put it into her mouth. She took a bite and it was crispy. The cracked pie seams squeezed out rich and fragrant gravy, and the salty and fragrant taste spread throughout her mouth.
Chewing the meat in his mouth, Liu Yu let out a satisfied "hmm". This meat pie was so delicious that it was beyond words.
With a bulge in her mouth, she raised her thumb and waved it repeatedly in Zhuang Moxing's direction. Zhuang Moxing took in the whole scene and smiled: "As long as it suits your taste."
Liu Yu nodded in praise, his admiration hidden in silence. After a few big bites, the gravy in the middle became fuller and warm, and the fragrant meat filled his mouth. When he felt a little greasy, he would bite into a sour and spicy bean.
One meat and one vegetable, one oil and one acid, complement each other.
Even after eating three large meat patties, Liu Yu didn't feel sick at all. What a divine combination! It was so delicious...
Seeing Liu Yu enjoying every bite, Lingbao, who was already full, secretly swallowed his saliva. Sister Xiao Yu's food smelled so good that he also wanted to eat some.
At this moment, he was following behind Zhuang Moxing to help. The little baby, who was not even as tall as an adult's leg, looked pitifully at the dining table and then at Zhuang Moxing.
Looking at his little appearance, those who didn't know him would think that Zhuang Moxing was mistreating Zhou Paopi, the "small farmhand", and not giving him food.
"Go if you want to."
At Zhuang Moxing's command, Lingbao ran off happily. Because he wasn't tall enough to climb onto the table, he cleverly ran to Liu Yu to get some food.
The two greedy cats, one big and one small, ate without stopping, their movements were like devouring everything in their path.
It’s not Lingbao’s fault for being greedy. It’s just that Tianyi Temple is really poor. Zhuang Moxing basically uses cabbage filling as the main ingredient when making cakes, with a little bit of lean meat in it.
