In the shadow of the courtyard wall, a stiff body swayed slowly in the cold wind.
She had her back to me, and that's when I realized she was wearing a faded old wedding dress.
It should have been a festive red color, but it has faded into an ominous, pale white.
My face turned pale. If it weren't for her unusually thick, long black hair, I would have thought she was a paper doll!
Just then, it began to slowly rotate. I remembered the horrifying scene from earlier that day and immediately gritted my teeth.
Never make eye contact with her!
The thought popped into my head, but my neck was stiff and out of my control!
By then, she had turned halfway around, and I could see her pale profile and a jet-black eye peeking out from the gap in her black hair—an eye with no white showing at all!
I bit my tongue hard, and the intense pain brought me back to my senses.
Taking this opportunity, I quickly turned around, wanting to run towards the door.
Just then, I was horrified to discover that a figure had been crouching in the corner of the room.
She had her back to me, her shoulders swaying, and I didn't know what she was doing.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the figure looked familiar; it was the village chief's wife!
How did she end up here?
Without thinking, I took a step forward, wanting to pull her away from here as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, as I got closer to her, I finally realized what she was doing. I immediately backed away, bumping into the table, and the hairs on my body stood on end.
She was holding clumps of long, black hair, washing it in a chamber pot filled with filthy blood, muttering to herself as she washed:
"I'll cook for you, and you have to eat it all, okay? Hehe, hehe, hehehehe,"
Seemingly noticing my gaze, the village chief's wife paused abruptly while washing her long hair, then slowly turned her head.
Her face no longer had any features; instead, it was covered by long, glossy black hair!
Are you hungry?
I was trembling all over, and I just couldn't understand how this ghost could have sneaked in under the protective array I had set up.
The village chief's wife took out her long hair, which was stained with blood, stood up, and approached me step by step, as if she wanted to shove the thing into my mouth.
"Get out of my way!"
I roared, scattering a shower of Five Emperor Coins, while simultaneously performing the Big Dipper Step and chanting an incantation:
"The Five Emperors and their spirits bear witness to my divine will. Now, I use this coin to transform into a golden dragon, to guard this place, so that all evil cannot invade, ghosts and demons will quickly retreat, and monsters and evil spirits will be annihilated!"
Instantly, all the Five Emperor Coins stood upright on the ground, forming a circular magic array that surrounded her.
At the same time, a golden light suddenly appeared.
The vengeful ghost let out a shrill scream, and the black hair in its hand turned into black smoke and vanished.
But even though she has no facial features, I can still feel the resentment in her eyes.
The vengeful ghost trembled violently as it pulled out strands of black hair from its face and approached me step by step.
It wasn't until it reached the boundary of the Five Emperors Coins that it let out another miserable scream and slammed hard onto the ground.
However, a large number of the Five Emperors Coins also collapsed.
Seeing this, I knew this ghost couldn't be released from its suffering just like that.
After all, she was just a puppet controlled by the real evil spirit!
I gave a wry smile. With my current level of cultivation, I simply couldn't defeat that evil zongzi head-on!
The only way to stop her from causing harm to the world is through this ritual of sending her meat-filled rice dumplings.
Just then, the vengeful ghost was about to get up again and feed me its black hair, which was covered in dripping blood.
I turned around and ran towards the door!
When I got to the door, I realized that the formation I had just set up had been broken open by someone stepping on it!
No wonder, that ghost managed to sneak into the room without me noticing!
Damn it!
I cursed under my breath. I had forgotten to tell Luo Tianhe and Li Huai to avoid this formation that mixed iron sand and cinnabar.
Are these two blind? Can't they see what's laid out on the ground?!
Although the iron sand and cinnabar are not very noticeable on the surface because the rural area is mostly arable land.
However, with careful observation, the differences can still be seen!
Suddenly I realized something was wrong. I went outside, but I couldn't see Luo Tianhe and Li Huai anywhere!
Those two bastards, if they wanted to pee, they could have just found a wall to pee against! Where did they go?
I was extremely anxious and rushed out of the toilet.
I soon saw the toilet, but the scene outside made my heart sink.
There were more than a dozen hanged ghosts surrounding the toilet, making it impossible to get through. Luo Tianhe and Li Huai must have been trapped inside.
I was suddenly terrified and didn't know what to do.
Both Luo Tianhe and Li Huai had life-saving items on them, so their lives were not in immediate danger.
This place is so yin energy is unimaginably heavy. Before long, the life-saving items they have will have their yang energy completely depleted!
At that point, they will have absolutely no chance of surviving!
I reckon I'll become one of those seventeen hanged ghosts tomorrow!
I gritted my teeth and pulled out the magic water.
This is a child's urine that has been blessed by my master's incantation.
Moreover, the urine obtained is from a child born on an extremely yang day, urinating at the most yin hour of the day.
This kind of yin-yang intertwined boy's urine can purify the altar, exorcise demons and dispel evil. Even my master doesn't have much of it left!
Although this magic water was made from a child's urine, it had absolutely no fishy or foul smell.
Moreover, it was crystal clear, just like real water.
Although this magical water can help Luo Tianhe and Li Huai escape, these hanged ghosts will continue to chase us after we escape.
I can only pray that Li Huai and Luo Tianhe's life-saving items can last a little longer!
Hold on until I finish setting up the formation!
I took out a Bagua mirror as the core of the formation, with the mirror face down, signifying that it would illuminate the netherworld and suppress this place!
Then I took out seven oil lamps and the seven evil copper coins I used last time.
This time, the vengeful ghosts are too fierce; the simple Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Array is simply not enough to subdue them!
I'm going to set up an even more powerful formation that can deliver all seventeen of these hanged ghosts from the dead in one fell swoop!
The formation's name is the Big Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation!
I arranged the seven oil lamps strictly according to the positions of the Big Dipper, surrounding the center of the formation, to draw upon the killing power of the Big Dipper Star Lord.
The copper coins were also arranged one by one according to the direction of the oil lamp.
In this way, the killing power that follows will not only trap these evil spirits, but also deliver them all to the afterlife in one fell swoop!
Then I wiped the sweat from my brow, and before I could even relax, I took out the ink line that had been soaked in black dog blood and connected the seven oil lamps together.
I placed spirit-trapping talismans on the eight trigrams outside the formation: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. This way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong!
