Chapter 983 The Returnee's Notes 57
The scream came from Zhong Chaoqi. His female assistant, Jiang Yin, who was not far away, immediately rushed over. She saw a wooden stick sticking out diagonally in the bushes, with some simple symbols drawn on it in cinnabar.
"Mr. Meng is one of the key points."
Old Wang followed along. He couldn't just slack off, after all, Mr. Meng was no sham.
Wang Heng then explained to Xie Ning in a low voice, "A great array is composed of many array points, and there are two arrays here. One is for suppressing souls, and the other is a fortune-changing array..."
There are many types of fortune-changing arrays, but this one is undoubtedly a major one, since it changes the fortune of an entire family.
Old Master Wang was not in charge of the transfer formation, as he was not very familiar with it. His specialty was the formation for suppressing souls. Of course, the Zhong family's distrust also played a part in this.
At Mr. Meng's instruction, Jiang Yin pulled out the wooden strip, but placed a bronze plaque on its original spot.
Then they used a small shovel to dig down, and after digging about half a meter deep, they found an iron box containing a palm-sized cloth bag.
Jiang Li, the male assistant who had put on gloves, gently opened the cloth bag. Inside, there was only a bone, a strand of hair tied with a red string, and a piece of wood.
Wang Heng, with his sharp eyes, also worried that Xie Ning might be frightened, so he whispered, "Those are cat bones, not human bones."
Cats are believed to be spiritual beings, so cat bones are used in such formations. The hair is probably the hair of the suppressed spirit. The wooden plaque would be engraved with the birth date and time of the suppressed person, but here it's just a wooden strip, so I don't know what its meaning is.
Now that a point of array has been discovered, it needs to be repaired and reinforced. Old Wang took out a wooden plaque from his bag, wrote the birth date and time provided by the Zhong family on it, and then repainted it with cinnabar on the wooden strip.
Nothing unusual happened; it was all very simple.
Zhong Chaoqi grumbled and cursed from the side, looking down on Wang Laodao and his group's actions. He felt that these people were just trying to cheat the Zhong family out of their money.
This prompted Wang Heng to glance at Zhong Chaoqi, wondering if this young master was unaware of the inside story.
The old man sitting on the small stool snorted heavily, and Zhong Chaoqi immediately shut his mouth, but his expression was still indignant, showing the full extent of his arrogant young master's aura.
Since there was an enemy position here, they naturally couldn't stay here overnight, so they had to move to another place to pitch their tents.
There were only three girls in the team, so Xie Ning slept in the same tent as Ouyang Lin and Jiang Yin.
Jiang Yin was quite curious about Xie Ning, "What can this little girl do?"
Ouyang Lin simply stayed quietly to the side, wiping her instrument.
"I know how to use a sword." My skill in slaying demons is decent, and I'm not bad at fighting people either.
"Is that all you know how to do? Then why did you come into the mountains with me? You're so young, how could your family let you out?" Anyone can wield a wooden sword. Aren't you afraid of getting eaten by something?
If something happens, no one will protect her.
Xie Ning didn't know Jiang Yin well. Old Wang also said that Mr. Meng had a deep relationship with the Zhong family. The reason why Mr. Meng hadn't been invited earlier was because he was unavailable.
Therefore, Xie Ning kept a certain distance from Jiang Yin, who was Mr. Meng's assistant, and only gave him a few casual words before making an excuse that he was sleepy and went to bed.
She doesn't know how to summon lightning yet, but she's slowly learning how to use incantations to burn talismans, so she no longer needs to carry a lighter to light things.
When she was practicing the hand seals, she felt like her fingers were about to cramp, but fortunately, hard work pays off, and she did gain some understanding through her efforts.
Ordinary talismans are mostly used for warding off evil spirits, but the ones she carries now are talismans that can exorcise ghosts. Combined with the peach wood sword and the incantation seal, their power is even greater.
Jiang Yin lay on his side, and only after Ouyang Lin also lay down did he whisper, "I wonder what mistake this person made to use such a powerful suppression formation..."
She was just an assistant who was transferred here. It was said that it was dangerous to come here, which is why Mr. Meng did not bring his own apprentice.
But he needed an assistant, so he commissioned the Jiang siblings.
Ouyang Lin simply closed her eyes quietly without saying a word.
Some things seem to need no reason, whether it's good or evil.
