[The Soul Substitute Spell] is something I've seen in Zhou the tailor's notes.
To be precise, it doesn't record how to use something, but rather a general explanation of a kind of sorcery.
This is roughly what you see in front of you. If I'm not mistaken, these sculptures should all be statues of gods.
The effects of this spell were not mentioned in Zhou the tailor's notes; all that was known was that it was not a good thing.
It is a ruthless and vicious thing.
That notebook contained a lot of useful spells, as well as some simple explanations of strange things.
This curse was the only one that Zhou the tailor described in great detail, and he repeatedly emphasized that if you encounter something like it, you must completely remove it.
"Brother Chen, do you know something?"
When Lao Dao saw what I looked like, he quickly asked.
"Old Dao, I saw this in Zhou the tailor's notes before!"
I told Lao Dao everything I knew.
"Brother Chen, can I interpret it this way: now that we've confirmed your tattoo, there's something good inside?"
However, Zhou the tailor mentioned in his notes that this was not a good thing.
There's bound to be one that's wrong, right?
After thinking for a long time, Lao Dao finally figured it out.
"Yes, that's it. There's always one of them that's wrong!"
I gave a wry smile.
Now we're caught in a dilemma again.
I can sense that this place is a bit eerie. I don't even know what I'll become if the eagle owl absorbs it.
"Brother Chen, I don't know if you've heard this saying before: 'Only children make choices, adults want it all.' Destroying this place might not necessarily affect the Eagle Owl!"
Old Dao truly lives up to his reputation for being a clear-headed person.
He understood me immediately.
"Old Dao, you're a real genius!"
After Lao Dao explained it to me, I suddenly understood.
Yes, maybe there's something down there that the eagle owl is interested in. If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
"Brother Chen, tell me, how do you plan to destroy it!"
Old Dao rubbed his hands together, eager to try.
"Put these three stickers on the fish head, snake head, and cat head respectively!"
I took out a talisman, drew a special incantation on it, and tossed it to Old Knife.
Tell Lao Dao according to the principles of Qiankun Bagua, but Lao Dao won't understand. Just tell Lao Dao which statue to stick it on.
"Okay!"
Old Dao was overjoyed. He took the paper and prepared to start pasting.
"Wait, Old Dao, let me bleed a little!"
I suddenly called out to Lao Dao.
Just to be on the safe side, I've decided to use Old Knife's blood.
This room is indeed a bit eerie, and we can't afford to make any mistakes.
"Okay, Brother Chen!"
Old Dao saw through my thoughts and, without hesitation, took out a small knife and a small bottle.
They filled half a bottle for me, which was quite generous.
"Here you go, Brother Chen, this should be enough!"
When I took it, I could feel that the bottle was still scalding hot.
There was no time to be negligent, so I drew talismans on all the talisman papers with Old Dao's blood.
This reminds me of a web series I watched before, in which there was a sorcerer.
It has no effect whatsoever, but one's own blood has a natural restraining effect on demons.
If Lao Dao grows a bit more, he'll probably be able to develop into someone like that in the future.
After drawing the talismans and handing them to Lao Dao, we each began to set them up.
In about ten minutes, I had set up this large array in the room using these talismans.
I raised the lightning sword in my hand, chanted the incantation I had practiced before, and thrust it directly at the young woman's head.
The great formation was fully activated, forming lines of red.
The temperature in the room suddenly rose.
The heads showed signs of sunburn.
Old Dao was stunned by this scene.
"Brother Chen, we're awesome!"
Old Dao was also amazed by his own skills.
I remained noncommittal and did not refute Lao Dao this time, because Lao Dao was right; he had also put in a lot of effort this time.
Without Old Knife's blood, my talisman alone probably wouldn't have been enough to cause such damage this time.
"We must protect Lao Dao!"
I made a decision in my heart.
People with this special physical condition are of great help to me.
I believe that Lao Dao will be able to play a significant role in dealing with Wu Zhiguo in the future.
I pulled Lao Dao out of the room and stood outside.
The room erupted with intense heat, completely melting the human heads.
I don't know how much time passed, but the inside returned to calm.
"Alright, let's go in and take a look!"
I was a little excited. After the vibration stopped, my tattoo started buzzing.
This confirms Lao Dao's earlier guess.
It means you don't need to make a choice, you have to do it all at once.
I pulled Old Knife into the room, where a coffin appeared.
My hair stood on end. I've seen similar coffins before!
Coffins are generally similar in many ways.
But there are always some subtle details.
This is especially true for some handmade coffins.
The craftsmen who made coffins all liked to incorporate their own preferences into the design.
This coffin should be made by the same person as the ones I saw before.
