After settling down with Liu Yuheng, I quickly went to the village to have a look.
At this time, Liu Qingshan had already started performing rituals in the village. He went from house to house, recited a passage of scripture, and then affixed a few charms to worship the gods and appease the ghosts.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this method. It can drive away evil spirits and stabilize the home. It is a normal practice.
But for the current situation, especially for the evil things in the mountains, a few spells have no effect at all.
I have tried this before. I fought against that thing in the deserted house last night. Normal spells and spells are basically useless against this thing.
So you still have to use special means to deal with it.
But I definitely don't expect Liu Qingshan to do this. After all, his abilities are there. Being able to do rituals in the village and appease the people in the village is already considered good.
It's broad daylight now, that thing won't show up, and there's nothing we can do about it.
But I think that thing will definitely come out to harm people at night, so I have to prepare.
After returning to the village chief's house, I asked Ma Boyi to go to the village with a hatchet and chop down some peach trees to make peach wood piles.
I made some more paper flags, paper umbrellas and the like, this one was used to set up the formation.
We don’t know the details of the evil thing yet, so it would be safer to arrange the formation.
By the time everything was ready, it was already night.
The sky quickly darkened.
I quickly drove the five prepared peach wood stakes in the yard according to the five elements.
Then I placed the eight paper flags in the eight directions of Qian, Kun, Li, Dui and Kan.
The layout of the Five Elements and Bagua was arranged in the village chief's house to prevent that thing from coming to Liu Yuheng again. This is not impossible.
However, the role of this pattern is far more than that.
Finally, I stood the prepared paper umbrella in the center of the yard, then opened the red rope wrapped around the paper umbrella, pulled it out from eight directions, and finally tied it to the paper flags in each direction.
Each of these eight red ropes has a copper coin threaded through it. The copper coins are suspended in the air, each occupying one of its positions.
In this way, the Bagua formation is completed.
But there is one last step, which is to place the remaining eight paper flags in the Bagua directions of the entire village.
In this way, the two Bagua formations echo each other, and no matter which direction the evil thing enters the village, I can sense its exact location.
"Game, I'll leave this matter to you."
I said and handed the eight paper flags to Ma Game.
"I...I don't know the Bagua direction, Master?"
Ma Yi looked at the sky outside and said with some fear.
"Qian is the northwest, Kan is the north, Gen is the northeast, Zhen is the east, Xun is the southeast, Li is the south, Kun is the southwest, and Dui is the west."
I said and glared at Ma Youyi, "This is the most basic basic knowledge. Don't say you don't know. Go quickly."
Although Ma Youyi looked very reluctant, seeing how I dealt with it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
This kid is just timid and doesn't want to go out when it gets dark.
He also said that he didn’t know the location of Bagua. Does he know that I can’t know?
Liu Qingshan had also returned from performing rituals at this time. When he saw the game I had set up in the yard, he was amazed.
He is not a layman, so he can certainly see the mystery of this layout.
"I now believe that you are Liu Yuheng's master."
Liu Qingshan filled a pot of dry tobacco and said with a smile, "Hey."
"Just believe it. That thing is very likely to come to the village and harm people tonight. We have to be prepared."
I also smiled and said.
"I'm just going through the motions. The main thing is that I have to rely on you. You have laid out the layout of the Five Elements and Bagua. If that thing really dares to come, it probably won't be able to escape."
Liu Qingshan said and started to smoke his pipe again.
"Not to mention that, after all, that thing was conceived in a mass grave. It's hard to say how ferocious it is."
I shook my head and said with a heavy expression.
"Let's eat first. It's useless to think about it so much. We'll wait until it comes."
Liu Qingshan said, patted me on the shoulder, and then went into the house.
Ma Game came back when we were halfway through dinner.
It looked like this kid was quite frightened. He must have run all the way back and was out of breath.
The reason why I asked him to do this was actually to exercise his courage.
But judging from this situation, it obviously has no effect.
"How's it going? Is the flag in the wrong place?"
I was afraid that Ma Youyi might have planted the paper flag in the wrong position in his panic, so I asked him specifically.
"Don't worry, Master, there is absolutely no mistake."
Ma Yiyi patted his chest and promised.
Only then did I feel relieved.
After dinner, I went to check on Liu Yuheng's condition.
He is still in a coma, but his breathing has stabilized a lot. It seems that there is no big problem, and it will probably not take long for him to wake up.
I was relieved now. No matter what, it would be fine as long as the person was fine.
The night is already deep.
I quickly moved a chair to the yard, lit a cigarette, and carefully paid attention to the layout in front of me.
Time passed by minute by minute, but the layout never responded at all.
Before I knew it, it was early morning.
I just went to the house and poured a cup of tea. Before I could drink it, I noticed that the copper coins on the red string in Kun's position suddenly moved and moved towards the paper umbrella in the center.
Kun is in the southwest, just in the direction of the old forest behind the village.
It seems that the thing is indeed coming.
I quickly took out a talisman and handed it to Ma Boyi, then told him to watch here and activate the formation directly if the evil thing came.
Then I hurried out and headed southwest.
It was already midnight at this time, and everything in the village was dark, with no lights visible, and it was extremely quiet.
The village has not been peaceful recently, so the villagers don't dare to go out for a walk at night, so they close their doors and windows early and go to bed.
Fortunately, the moon is not bad tonight, and I can barely see the surrounding situation clearly.
I followed the narrow path in the village and arrived at the end of the village.
I was almost out of the village when a gust of dark wind suddenly blew in my face, and then, a white mist suddenly floated towards me.
There was a faint ringing sound in the mist, which was somewhat similar to the scene when I met the five ghosts carrying the sedan in the old forest last night.
I quickly took a few steps back, then figured out the trick, raised my hand and raised the paper flag that had been placed in the Kun position.
The paper flag immediately fluttered in the wind, quickly dispersing the fog that was approaching.
Then, the red sedan also appeared in my sight.
