6 a.m. the next day!
Li Youdao got up early in the morning, wrapped the paper man in black cloth, took his tool box, then put the paper man on his back and went out, waiting for the car in the flower bed at the entrance of the town.
At 6:35, the bus going to the countryside to carry passengers passed the flower bed and was stopped by Li Youdao.
Because it was the first bus in the morning, there were no passengers on the bus. He could place his paper figures wherever he wanted, and no one would think it was bad luck.
It was precisely because of this that Li Youdao got up early in the morning and chose to take the first bus.
We got off at the intersection of Bacun and it was exactly 7 o'clock.
The car door opened and Li Youdao got out of the car with the paper man on his back. There were already many villagers below waiting for the car.
"Taoist Priest!"
Gao Yongqiang came to meet Li Youdao at the intersection of Bacun this early in the morning.
Li Youdao said with some embarrassment: "Brother Gao, I said you don't have to go to so much trouble to pick up Pindao. Pindao has been here in Gaojia Village before and knows the way."
"this is necessary."
Gao Yongqiang said with a smile. He came to Li Youdao and saw that he was carrying a big guy on his back. He quickly took the paper man from his back and said, "Taoist Master, let me carry it for you!"
"Then I'll trouble you."
Li Youdao nodded and handed the paper man to him.
Gao Yongqiang took the paper figure, which was very light and weighed about twenty pounds. He asked doubtfully: "Taoist Master, what is this?"
"This is Pindao's secret weapon, you will know it tonight."
Li Youdao smiled mysteriously and then asked: "By the way, are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"
Gao Yongqiang nodded quickly, "Well, everything is ready!"
………
Twelve o'clock in the evening!
The door of Gao Yongqiang’s house is open!
Li Youdao was wearing a yellow robe and a pure Yang scarf on his head. The altar had already been arranged in the living room.
The paper man was placed at the door. He looked at the time and the sky outside, and began to light incense and candles and set up the altar.
Li Youdao picked up the kitchen knife and ordered Gao Yongqiang next to him: "Chicken!"
"yes!"
Gao Yongqiang lifted the prepared chicken and grabbed its neck.
Li Youdao picked up the kitchen knife and cut the chicken's neck with one knife, causing blood to flow out.
Gao Yongqiang quickly poured the chicken blood into the bowl on the table and waited until the blood dried up before removing the chicken.
Li Youdao took out a small bottle, opened the cap, and poured the cinnabar inside into the chicken blood.
Immediately, he stretched out two fingers, clamped them on the candle, took out a flame out of thin air, flicked it gently, and the flame fell into the chicken blood in the bowl, igniting a flame.
Gao Yongqiang next to him was stunned by his ability.
Li Youdao picked up the talisman pen placed on the altar and quickly stirred the chicken blood, and the flame was quickly extinguished.
He circulated a trace of mana in his Dantian, quickly raised the talisman pen, placed it on the blank talisman paper, and chanted the incantation in his mouth, "The sky is round and the earth is round, and there are nine chapters of laws and regulations. I am writing now, and all ghosts are hidden!"
"One stroke moves the world, and the three things above are clear, and the bottom is the soul, and the sky is clear and the earth is bright!"
"Erbi Patriarch Sword, please use the gods and mobilize the heavenly soldiers!"
"Three evil strokes have been completed, no ghost can be seen, no evil dares to block it!"
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
"The soul-returning curse!"
Li Youdao's strokes of the talisman moved in one go, without any pause in between. As the last stroke fell, the talisman was completed and a glimmer of light flashed.
After finishing, he took the talisman pen, came to the door, and used the chicken blood on the talisman pen to draw eyes on the paper figure.
Then he returned to the altar, held a talisman between two fingers of his hands, lit them both on top of the candle, and waved his hands, causing the talisman's ashes to fly.
Li Daoyang recited a mantra in his mouth, "Teach me how to summon souls, Supreme Master. Colorful clouds from all directions will come to gather at my door. Enter the You Mansion early and see the true soul immediately. If there is any violation, five thunders will strike."
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
As the last sentence fell, a dark wind blew outside the door, and dark clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight.
The cold wind blew, and the flames of the incense candles on the altar swayed, and the temperature in the hall dropped rapidly.
Gao Yongqiang shuddered and said in horror: "Tao... Taoist Master!"
Li Youdao reminded him in a low voice, "Don't talk, the evil spirit is coming, don't scare him away."
The next moment, Li Damao's ghost appeared at the door.
After seven days, he had stabilized his ghost body and became a real ghost, capable of killing people.
The moment Gao Yongqiang saw Li Damao's ghost, he almost wet his pants and quickly covered his mouth for fear of scaring him away.
After not seeing each other for a day, Li Damao's face became even more ferocious, looking like an evil ghost.
Li Damao appeared outside the door. The moment he saw the paper man, he couldn't help but walk towards it as if he was seeing a treasure.
He stretched out his hand and touched the paper man, and a smile appeared on his ferocious face.
Suddenly, a faint light lit up on the paper man, and Li Damao was sucked in.
At this time, Li Damao woke up. He was imprisoned on the paper man's body and could not escape. He shouted in horror: "Who, who wants to harm me!"
He frantically ran around inside the paper man's body, trying to break through the paper and escape.
The strange thing is that there is a strange rune on the paper man. Whenever Li Damao wants to break through the paper man's imprisonment, this rune will light up with a faint light and prevent him from leaving.
No matter how hard he struggled, he just couldn't break through the fragile paper.
"nailed it."
Li Youdao saw Li Damao trapped in the body of the paper man, with a smile on his chubby face. He picked up a charm from the altar, came to the paper man at the door, and put the charm on the paper man.
Li Damao, who was struggling inside, finally stopped. He couldn't move.
Only then did Li Youdao feel relieved. As Chen Pingan said, his paper man was not omnipotent. Over time, the ghost might break through the confinement and escape at any time.
Just in case, he used a spell to immobilize Li Damao and prevent him from escaping, otherwise he would be in trouble.
"Taoist priest?"
Li Damao was horrified when he saw Li Youdao. When he was alive, he had heard about the deeds of the older generation of Taoist priests in killing demons.
Li Youdao said coldly: "The evil one is greedy for the prosperity of the world and is trying to find a substitute."
He was horrified and quibbled: "Taoist Master, I misunderstood. It was Gao Yongqiang who frightened my soul, making me homeless and missing the time to return to the underworld."
"You are still arguing that Gao Yongqiang has already called Hui Po back for you and led you home, but you still want to harm him."
Li Youdao shouted coldly, "Since you said you missed the time to return to the underworld, Pindao will personally send you down."
Li Damao shuddered, thinking that Li Youdao was going to destroy him, so he quickly begged for mercy: "Master Dao, please spare my life, I don't dare to do it anymore."
No matter how Li Damao begged for mercy, Li Youdao turned a deaf ear to his words and took out a black token from his pocket.
The token is completely black, with a grimace on the front and the word 'bad' engraved on the back.
He input a trace of mana, and the token lit up with a faint light.
Gao Yongqiang in the living room heard Li Damao's begging for mercy. He didn't know what Li Youdao was doing and didn't dare to come out to watch.
One minute passed!
Two figures emerged from the ground. They had gray skin and were wearing official uniforms. There was a big word 'cha' on the clothes, with sabers and chains.
When the two saw Li Youdao, they asked, "Daozhang Li, summon my two brothers. What's the matter?"
Li Youdao performed a Taoist salute, "Brothers, Pindao caught a harmful evil spirit tonight, so he summoned you two to take the evil spirit back to the underworld."
"Ghost!"
When Li Damao saw the two people summoned by Li Youdao, he recognized their identities at a glance and said in horror: "No, I don't want to go back to the underworld."
"A harmful evil spirit!"
The two ghost officers noticed the paper man beside them and couldn't help but smile.
As soon as they finished speaking, the iron chains hanging around their waists shot out automatically, tightly binding the paper figures.
They smiled at Li Youdao with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Director Li!"
The two ghosts held Li Damao's hand, a dim light lit up on the ground, and their bodies slowly melted into the ground.
"Brothers, have you forgotten something?"
Li Youdao quickly stopped them and then made a gesture of rubbing his fingers.
"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot."
One of the ghosts patted his head before he remembered.
He took out a bunch of money from his waist and threw it to Li Youdao.
Li Youdao took the Mingqian and rolled his eyes at them. We had agreed on this at the beginning and could forget about it. I'm afraid you didn't want to fish in troubled waters and run away with it.
He clicked the money, there were ten in total, and then he put it into his trouser pocket with satisfaction.
Another ghost officer asked curiously: "Daozhang Li, where do you get such good paper figures every time?"
"cough!"
Li Youdao coughed lightly and shook his head, "Don't say it, don't say it!"
This is his magic weapon. Every time he catches ghosts so easily, it all depends on Chen Ping'an's paper figures, as well as his soul-attracting charms and ghost-calling spells.
The two ghosts didn't say anything to him, and stopped asking. They took Li Damao's ghost and left, leaving a message, "Next time you catch an evil ghost, remember to find us brothers."
At this time, Gao Yongqiang in the hall was very frightened. He only heard Li Damao exclaiming that it was a ghost, Li Youdao was talking to himself on the side, and then the paper man disappeared out of thin air.
His experiences these days gave him a new understanding of the world, and at the same time, he felt anxious and uneasy.
There are really ghosts in this world!
