Chapter 154 Labor Counts to Three
The moment the erhu sounded, the atmosphere suddenly became tragic.
As the music started, the ghosts in the house became more concentrated. Chen Yan was unwilling to get entangled with the ghosts of the Jingzhong Formation, and he quickly swung out the second sword.
This time there was no longer a simple cracking sound. Instead, the statue made fine shattering sounds, like the cracking of ice in early spring, extending into countless fine spider-web-like cracks. Then, with a loud bang, the clay statue fell to the ground, revealing a skeleton and a piece of strange black gold and stone inside. On the bones, there were densely engraved curse marks.
After the statue shattered, a gray mist appeared in the middle. After the human bones and metal and stone fell, it was still tangled on the high platform. Finally, it slowly twisted, stretched, became longer and wider, and finally vaguely formed into a human shape.
The evil spirit revealed its true nature.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes and saw human bones in the clay statue.
The curse mark on the human bones is clearly... a soul gathering formation.
The talisman in the center of the skull had Juhun’s name written on it, Meng An.
According to an unofficial historical document, it is said that the statue of the evil god enshrined in Liyang Town was once a monk who died protecting the town.
Lin Du probably knew what was contained in the iron coffin.
No wonder when the coffin was opened, there was only a thousand-year-old evil ghost but no body.
She turned around quickly, "Yuan Ye, you hold on first, Yan Qingtianwu come with me, Jin Xuan... protect Yuan Ye."
Yuan Ye's hands almost trembled as he played the erhu. "Why do I need someone to protect me? Who am I looking down on?"
Ni Jinxuan flicked the whip, and it made a loud bang in the air.
Yuan Ye quickly accepted his fate, "I feel safe with your protection. Thank you, Junior Master. I can play the violin with more energy now."
The three Tengyun realms all left, and the audience who witnessed all this were a little confused for a moment.
"Running again?"
"And there are three Tengyun Realm people. What are they doing?"
Lin Du was moving very fast, he was even too lazy to take the planned roads in the town, and just walked in a straight line, calling on his spiritual power, and flew to the previous courtyard at the fastest speed.
The three of them all landed in front of the room where the iron coffin was placed. Lin Du took a deep breath, threw out a talisman to ward off evil spirits, and stuck it into the iron coffin.
The evil spirit was so strong that the talisman burned automatically as soon as it was thrown up because its effectiveness had been exhausted.
"Such a strong evil spirit?" Yan Qing frowned.
"This ghost has a bad temper." Lin Du threw out seven evil-repelling talismans and stuck them all on the iron coffin.
This time it burned much more slowly.
The demon's roar became more and more ferocious, causing pain in people's eardrums.
Lin Du knocked on the iron coffin and said, "Calm down. You have been suppressed for a thousand years and yet you are still so irritable."
This time, the roar was mixed with the sharp sound of scraping against the iron coffin. The devil's nails were sharp and the scraping sound was not only a torture to the ears, but also a torture to the human spirit.
The talisman on the iron coffin began to burn again. Lin Du frowned and threw out a dozen evil-dispelling talismans.
"Labor, count to three! If you don't calm down and listen to me, your subordinates will be killed! And you will be finished too!"
The demon's voice first paused, and then the roar became louder and louder, almost deafening.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes and summoned his spiritual power, "One!"
The roar of tigers and thunder mixed with the huge noise of evil spirits colliding with the iron coffin made the arms of Yan Qing and Lin Du, who were holding down the iron coffin, feel numb.
"two!"
Bang!
The huge impact force caused the iron coffin to rush directly into the air. Lin Du and Yan Qing were both knocked back several feet by the aftermath of this force. The magic boots scraped across the ground, leaving four deep marks.
Lin Du sneered, "Tian Wu, Yang Fire! Yan Qing, Break the Evil!"
The evil ghost fell into a strange state of silence, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Lin Du walked back to the iron coffin and said, "I know who you are and why you are trapped here. I can let you out, but we need to talk about the truth. If you understand, knock on the coffin door."
The iron coffin remained stubbornly silent.
Lin Du slapped the iron coffin, and the whole iron coffin shook.
"Okay, I'll continue, and you listen."
Yan Qing widened his eyes, Xia Tian was not surprised at all.
"Your real name is Meng An. Thousands of years ago, you died in a battle while protecting the town from evil spirits. Later, the people of the town spontaneously built a statue in your memory."
"And your best friend, who may be a subordinate or a disciple, picked up your bones when he made your statue in order to protect you. He engraved a soul-gathering spell, hoping that the power of incense and offerings could gather your soul that was shattered by the evil spirit. He then turned into the spirit of the Jingzhong formation to protect your statue."
"I just didn't expect that the incense was poisonous. The power of the wish not only gathered your soul, but also created an evil spirit. I don't know how you were trapped here, but I guess you are the descendant of the person who made the statue and carved the curse for you. The curse engraved on the chest of the stone statue outside and the curse on your bones are of the same origin."
Lin Du said tiredly, "Am I right? If not, knock once. If it is right, knock twice. If it is mostly right, knock three times."
The iron coffin suddenly made a banging sound and continued to bang.
This was the first time in Lin Du's life that he encountered something more rebellious than himself.
She slapped the coffin again, and just happened to stick a vow curse on the coffin.
Lin Du cleared his throat and said gently, "Now, let's discuss something. I can let you out. Now that the evil spirit has come out, your people may still think that the evil spirit is you who was condensed. Don't you think this is an insult to ghosts? Don't you want to swallow the evil spirit?"
"But you can't hurt us when I let you out. After getting rid of the evil spirit, I will send you to the underworld. If you agree, then kowtow once. If you don't kowtow or kowtow more than once, it will be considered that you are willing to endure your former friend recognizing you as your father and sacrificing your life and soul for it."
The monk on the stand had never seen such a deceitful person in his life.
Should Fu Sifang also add the following to his evaluation of Lin Du: eloquent and silver-tongued?
There was a loud thud from inside the iron coffin, and then it stopped moving.
Lin Du was satisfied. "I forgot to tell you that I have already set up the oath spell. Just knock and the oath spell will be fulfilled."
Killing the evil spirits and using their own strength to defeat them is secondary; the main purpose is to protect oneself.
Yan Qing opened the coffin and Lin Du went out to stop the formation.
In order to stop the Juhun formation, the eight small eight yang formation eyes must stop running at the same time, otherwise it will cause an imbalance in the formation energy and cause backlash.
Lin Du held the Floating Life Fan in his hand and walked calmly within the formation, slapping the stone statues one by one. His pale robe fluttered like a spirit butterfly, and in the eyes of the low-level monks it looked almost like a pale blue silk ribbon, passing around the sixty-four stone statues, connecting them end to end, in just a few breaths.
The last eight moves were completed simultaneously in one breath, and the stone statues suddenly stopped moving at the same time.
Lin Du collected his spiritual power and turned to look inside the house. Yan Qing had just moved the coffin lid away.
She rested her chin on the fan thoughtfully, "Today, we have done nothing but lift the lid of other people's coffins."
