Jing Cheng didn't know that someone had thrown away the talisman he had given away, taking it in their hands and throwing it into the bushes the next moment.
Even if he knew, he might not take it to heart.
He is paid to do his job, and he tries his best to ensure everyone's safety. But if someone commits suicide, it is none of his business.
After all, saving lives is a moral obligation, not an obligation.
That night, Jing Cheng did not go to bed early like others.
What is a long and arduous journey for others is just a little pleasure to relax the body and mind for Jingcheng.
He didn't even break a sweat.
Qin Yan and Fu Le chose the smallest storage room. There was not much clutter in the room. The boys were carefree and had no requirements for housing conditions. They simply tidied up the room, sprayed some air freshener in it, and laid out the sleeping bags for three people so that they could sleep at any time.
Boys are full of energy. Even if they are tired after a day's work, they don't feel sleepy at night. What's more, both of them are champions at staying up late.
However, none of the three were playing with their cell phones at the moment. Qin Yan and Fu Le were staring blankly at Jing Cheng's actions.
...
...
When Jing Cheng came back from outside just now, he picked up a lot of pebbles.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on his sleeping bag, placing stones on the ground in front of him with an expressionless face.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then pushed the stone on the ground to move it. After changing its position, he pondered for a moment looking at the ground, moved his lips, and said something silently. After he finished speaking, he began to move the stone again, repeating the process over and over again.
"What is he doing?" Fu Le was stunned and whispered to Qin Yan, "Playing chess with himself? Why am I getting more and more confused about Chengzi?"
Qin Yan looked at it for a while and said, "It's not chess."
"What is that?"
Qin Yan thought about it and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's a map? Do you remember the road we took after entering the village? The placement of these stones is like the location of those trees."
"What is this for?" Fu Le was surprised.
"Qin Yan is right. I am replicating the location of the big tree in the village." Jing Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them, and answered seriously, "But I am also setting up a sealing formation."
Sealing formation? Qin Yan and Fu Le looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had heard of formations, but what were forbidden formations?
Obviously, what Jing Cheng did has broken their inherent cognition.
"What is a forbidden formation?" Fu Le approached him with interest, pointed at the pebbles placed on the ground in no particular order, and asked excitedly, "Could it be the legendary Five Elements Bagua formation?"
“…”
Jing Cheng looked at him in silence for a while. Fu Le seemed to be unaware of it and even believed in his own guess. Perhaps in his eyes, Jing Cheng was omnipotent and nothing he did was surprising.
Qin Yan leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, snorted and laughed, "Idiot."
Fu Le: “…”
Jing Cheng shook his head helplessly and explained, "The Five Elements Bagua Formation can't be considered a 'legend'. It was just an Bagua Formation derived from the Tai Chi diagram by Mr. Zhuge during the Three Kingdoms period. It uses the principle of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements and belongs to the Qimen Dunjia. At that time, it was used for marching and fighting. Nowadays, it is mostly used to protect homes and attract wealth, or in traditional Chinese medicine."
Since the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation is so practical, it is definitely not a forbidden formation.
Fu Le seemed to understand and asked: "Then what formation did you set up?"
Qin Yan also looked over curiously.
Jing Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Eighteen Dark Ding Formation, a kind of..."
He paused before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned ugly, as if he had thought of something bad, and a hint of coldness suddenly flashed across his brows.
Fu Le and Qin Yan looked at each other, and both of them had serious expressions.
Judging from Jing Cheng’s behavior, it was obvious that this sealing formation was not a good thing.
And he just said that he was replicating the location of the big tree. Could it be that someone has set up a sealing formation in this village?
After a long while, Jing Cheng calmed down and continued, "This is a very evil sealing formation. Originally, it was a mountain burial formation called Eighteen Meridians, which used spiritual creatures living in the mountains as the pulse points for sacrifice. However, because the pulse points of animal sacrifices have a short validity period, they were later changed by evil ways into a formation for sacrificing living people. What's even more hateful is that originally it was only used to protect the peace of the tomb owner and prevent tomb robbers, but later it evolved into an evil technique that took away people's vitality in exchange for immortality."
After hearing this, and thinking about what the village official had said before about "sacrifice", the two of them had nothing to understand.
"What the hell!" Fu Le was shocked. "Eighteen meridian eyes, doesn't that mean eighteen living people?"
Jing Cheng shook his finger and said, "This is just the minimum number of people."
Fu Le gasped when he heard this.
Eighteen people is only the minimum number, so how many people have to die for it to be over?
This is too outrageous!
Qin Yan frowned when he heard this. He looked at Jing Cheng and said, "You mean someone here uses formations to take away other people's lives in exchange for his own immortality?"
Jing Cheng nodded seriously.
"Is immortality really possible?" Qin Yan raised his long eyebrows. "Does this person want to emulate Qin Shi Huang? This is something that no emperor has ever succeeded in. Or rather, it is something that many generations of emperors have failed to achieve."
Yes, how many emperors who made great achievements in history sought immortality in their later years, including Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang... But did they succeed?
Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, you will still need a steamed bun in the end.
Even the emperor only had a slightly bigger "earth bun" than ordinary people.
Everything in the world has its destiny, life and death, ethics, reincarnation, all of them are the same.
Death is Yin, life is Yang.
Only with yin and yang can the world be balanced. This is the order established by heaven.
No one can change it.
Jing Cheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously: "That person will not succeed either."
He will definitely find that person out!
Jing Cheng turned his head and looked outside through the transparent glass window with a cold gaze.
The whole village was surrounded by tall and dense locust trees, and the lush leaves covered the roofs of all the mud houses. Jing Cheng could even imagine the scene in Bijia Village during the day, where you couldn't even see the sun when you looked up.
The locust tree is yin and is one of the five ghost trees, which can attract evil spirits.
Those innocent people were killed without knowing it and buried under the tree. Their bodies and souls became sacrifices for the formation.
He knew the man's purpose.
All the people in the village are buried with the dead...
It is the nourishment of “that person”.
…
At this time, Zhang Jinhuai, who was far away in the ancient city, was very worried.
He originally had the task of tracking down the owner of the Worry-Solving Shop. Although the shop had been destroyed long ago and the evil talismans that harmed people had been recovered, the owner had not been caught yet and he had no clue at all. However, the burden on him was increasing.
The very next day after they arrived, right under his nose, the "heart-digging" murderer committed a crime again.
The last crime was committed less than a week ago.
Zhang Jinhuai even suspected that this was a provocation from the murderer.
It seemed to be mocking him: Even if you come, you can't catch me!
This favored child who has had a smooth life since childhood has suffered a series of setbacks in the past year. It has to be said that this is a pretty big blow.
When Zhang Baodou came over with a laptop, Zhang Jinhuai was frowning in thought over the autopsy report that had just been sent by the police station.
"Junior Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhang Baodou asked cautiously.
"What did you do today?" Zhang Jinhuai threw the report on the table, crossed his legs and folded his arms, and asked him coldly.
"Hehe." Zhang Baodou scratched his head and smiled shyly, "That really popular reality show came out this afternoon, and a lot of people went to watch the fun. I couldn't help but be curious, so I... joined in the fun."
"What show?"
“An Incredible Journey.”
Zhang Jinhuai raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh?"
Zhang Baodou controlled his tone and answered carefully: "Isn't this... Didn't the program director invite you to participate before? You declined at that time, but the director kept calling me and asked me to recommend someone from the Taoist Association to him. I felt embarrassed, so I asked our disciples who had time. Before I could finish asking, the director said they had found a suitable Taoist priest."
"I was a little curious, so I asked him who that person was, and guess what?"
Zhang Jinhuai looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhang Baodou laughed awkwardly and said, "He said the Taoist priest he invited was named Jing. But I checked all the members of the Taoist Association and found no one named Jing. Then I remembered that there was a new user named 'Lingsu Zhenren' who was stirring up trouble in the forum a while ago. I checked his registration information and found that his surname was Jing."
Last name Jing?
Zhang Jinhuai thought of the young man he met this morning.
"If he really is that person, then he's really awesome!" Zhang Baodou said endlessly, "I still remember the scene when he answered the registration questions. He answered all those lost questions. And I found that after he registered on the forum, he often answered some unpopular and difficult questions in it, and each answer was well-organized. Even the photo of the talisman he drew was pushed to the top of the forum's hot post. He is a real big shot!"
"Let me show you." Zhang Baodou took out his cell phone and opened the forum.
As expected, all the top hot posts were answered by an ID called "Lingsu Zhenren", and there were many people worshipping the big guy below.
Zhang Jinhuai is busy on weekdays and rarely pays attention to the forum, but he does not ignore it.
At this moment he happened to see a hot post.
[Seeking advice from experts]: How to resolve the resentment of evil spirits?
The author: I have tried many methods, and I have recited the "Tai Shang Jiu Ku Jing" 180 times, but the evil ghost has not only failed to resolve its resentment, but has become even more resentful. I have wasted dozens of dead jades, and my fellow Taoists and I are going to collapse! If the resentment gets any heavier, I am afraid that the dead jade will not be able to seal the evil ghost! Can someone please tell me how to resolve its resentment?
Most of the comments below advise the OP to invite Buddhists to perform a ritual for the deceased, after all, the Taoist sutras for the deceased's souls cannot compare to those of other Buddhists.
There are actually many people @Lingsu Zhenren.
Zhang Jinhuai was surprised. It turned out that this person was so popular in the forum? He was almost catching up with him.
Zhang Jinhuai didn’t know what he felt. He moved his fingers and scrolled down for a while. Sure enough, he saw the answer in the middle of the post.
Lingsu Zhenren: If you don't care about money, you can set up a ground fire formation. The method is to violently resolve the resentment first, turn the evil ghost into a wild ghost, and then assist in the salvation. A large amount of red saltpeter is needed. After the evil ghost is sealed in the dead jade, it is stored in a peach wood box. A "ghost tomb" (red saltpeter) is built in a place far away from the pulse point, and at the same time, the salvation scripture is recited to release its resentment... It takes at most two hours.
Zhang Jinhuai’s eyes widened. It was actually the Earth Fire Array?
This formation...hasn't it been lost?

The man surnamed Peng in Chapter 45 is not the same person as Mr. Peng in Bijia Village, but they are related.
