The most critical step in becoming an immortal alive, and also the most risky part, is to summon the priest before burial.
When Yu Huo needed to summon the high priest Lingpo, he found the right opportunity to take Tang Daoyi's body out of the coffin, so as to ensure that Tang Daoyi would not be buried alive.
In front of everyone, using the body of the high priest Lingpo to replace Tang Daoyi's real body must create an opportunity. Yu Huo naturally thought of the guiding lamp in his hand.
One of the three major magical tools of the Corpse Sewing lineage, Yu Huo didn't know the use of the Guiding Ming Lantern, but he had seen some runes about the Guiding Ming Lamp under the stone tablet of the underground altar. The runes had instructions on how to pass through it. The method of summoning the high priest Lingpo through the dark lamp.
Yu Huo prepared a massive priest ceremony, taking this opportunity for the golden cicada to escape from its shell, allowing Tang Daoyi's fake death to be concealed.
The Turtle Back Pill is only effective for seventy-two hours, that is, four days later. Yu Huo must successfully complete this extremely risky plan before then.
Tang Daoyi's mourning hall seemed peaceful, but Yu Huo asked Song Fu to find a few trustworthy confidants, personally lead the team, and stay in front of Tang Daoyi's soul day and night.
The reason why Yu Huo was so cautious was naturally because he hoped that Tang Daoyi would not cause any trouble during these four days. After all, people are unpredictable, and who knows if someone might be causing trouble behind his back.
Especially since the relationship between the Tang clan is complicated, Yu Huo needs to ensure that this plan is foolproof.
Everything is ready, and once the auspicious time arrives, Yu Huo can act as planned.
At this time, Fang Hongxing and his family appeared in Tang Daoyi's mourning hall in a high-profile manner. They were all dressed in black suits, but the corsage on their chests was not white, but a big red rose, which was obviously intentional.
When the two security guards standing at the door saw this, they immediately stopped Fang Hongxing and the others and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, please take off the corsage on your chest."
Seeing someone blocking the road, Fang Yu naturally felt unhappy. He came up and said, "Asshole, I am the future son-in-law of the Tang family. I wonder which of you dares to be so presumptuous?"
Without Tang Daoyi's majesty, Fang Yu naturally gave up his usual meekness, and aggressively wanted his men to beat people. Tang Ruoxi, who was kneeling in front of the soul, stood up wearing sackcloth and mourning, came to Fang Yu, and lowered his head. He said in a loud voice: "Have you had enough trouble? My relatives are all here. It's okay for you to come to mourn my grandpa, but what does it mean to wear a big red rose on your chest?"
"Future daughter-in-law, what you said is wrong. We wear big red flowers to show our respect for Lord Thief. Lord Thief is going to the west and becoming an immortal. It is a great joy. How can we ruin his old man's life?" Where is the joy of becoming an immortal?"
Fang Hongxing was naturally prepared. These words were arrogant and unreasonable, but they were powerless to refute. Tang Ruoxi was so angry that he couldn't just tear this bastard Fang Yu apart now.
Song Fulai came to Tang Ruoxi at the right time, patted Tang Ruoxi on the shoulder, and told her to calm down. Then he smiled at Fang Hongxing and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to see off Master Thief. On behalf of Tang Ruoxi, I Everyone at Shijianye would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Fang."
Song Fulai personally handed Fang Hongxing a stick of incense and signaled him to come in and offer incense to Tang Daoyi. Only then did Fang Hongxing strode towards Tang Daoyi's portrait with satisfaction. Fang Yu followed closely behind, raising his eyebrows in a noisy manner. A proud head.
"Uncle Lai, why did you let them in? This is disrespectful to grandpa."
Naturally, Tang Ruoxi didn't understand why Song Fulai would be so disrespectful in front of the Fang family. The two married families should treat each other equally, so how could they be treated like a dwarf and inferior to others without marrying into the Fang family.
"Mr. Yu has told me that before the high priest, no extraneous matters can be allowed to arise. Uncle Lai promises you that the Fang family will repay you twice as much for today's humiliation."
The overall situation was the most important thing, so Tang Ruoxi put away the anger in her heart, endured the humiliation and returned to Tang Daoyi's soul, just waiting for the high priest's auspicious time.
The high priest is very particular about timing when he invites the spirit woman. For Yu Huo, who has never experienced the high priest, he is not completely sure that he can succeed. Let’s not say what the spirit woman looks like. Whether he can invite her is still unknown. .
Yu Huo only relied on his memory of the runes on the underground altar stone to make Tang Daoyi's life and death depend entirely on this gamble. Yu Huo was not bold.
"The auspicious time has come, and I will be promoted to immortality. The high priest, please invite the spiritual woman..."
As the bell rang at three quarters of noon, the third uncle Tang Daozhong, the most prestigious member of the Tang family, was naturally the speaker to preside over the priestly ceremony.
The remaining fire lit three sticks of incense, placed them on the incense table in front of Tang Daoyi's soul, bowed politely three times, then turned sideways and bowed to the host, the third uncle, and then turned around and pretended to be Tang Daoyi's real body. The coffin was circled three times and four different talismans were affixed to the four sides of the coffin.
The moment the four talisman papers were pasted, the runes on the talisman paper lit up with a sparkling golden light, and then fireworks instantly ignited, followed by bursts of smoke and water vapor, which continued to emerge from the gaps in the coffin cover.
Such a miracle made everyone present feel horrified and dumbfounded. They all held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.
"The gods of heaven and earth, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts, used the road to clear the way, and the spirit woman appeared..."
Yu Huo muttered some words that ordinary people could not understand, which looked like magic spells. After Yu Huo repeated these spells and actions three times, as expected, with several loud noises, seven coffin nails came loose one after another. , and then flew out in the opposite direction of the force, and the coffin lid opened instantly.
In the midst of the smoke, a bloody black figure suddenly sat up from the coffin lid, which frightened everyone into screaming and trembling with fear.
And in this panic, Yu Huo used lightning speed to put the human skin substitute that had been sewn in advance into the coffin. At this time, it was the puppet controlled by Yu Huo who sat up. This puppet was not The other person is Tang Daoyi’s real body.
Manipulating Tang Daoyi's body is the key to whether Yu Huo can successfully switch the package. After all, this secret technique of puppetry is a skill that has been lost for many years in the corpse sewing lineage. Yu Huo only listened to the method dictated by his master Jing Shuilou, and there was no actual practice. Fucking experience.
Yu Huo continued to recite the incantation, and saw Tang Daoyi's body jumping out of the coffin, shrouded in smoke and water vapor. No one could see clearly what this person looked like. Most people thought that this was The high priest Ling Po in Yu Huo's mouth.
But at this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly emerged from the crowd. This person was none other than Liu Wusheng, who had escaped from death not long ago.
"He is not a spiritual woman."
Liu Wusheng's sonorous and powerful voice made the noisy and soulless crowd suddenly quiet, and they all wanted to know what Liu Wusheng was going to do next.
The mourning hall was silent and silent, everyone was waiting to see Yu Huo's joke.
Under Hun Sen's instigation, Liu Wusheng stood up from the crowd. He had only one purpose, and that was to expose Yu Huo's scam in public, so that Yu Huo could make a fool of himself in public, and at the same time disrupt Tang Daoyi's plan to cheat his death.
In front of the Tang family clan members and high-ranking people from all walks of life in Jianghai, the reason why Liu Wusheng was able to stand up at this time to increase his presence was simply because there was someone behind him, and this supporter was not only Hun Sen, but also Fang Yu from the Fang family.
For fear of chaos, they would take the opportunity to cause trouble and arouse the deep-rooted conflicts within the Tang family. This is the purpose of the Fang family, and it is the first step for the Fang family to swallow up the Tang family.
However, Liu Wusheng's questioning did not make Yu Huo lose his temper. Instead, he became more and more calm and composed, as if he knew what he was going to face next and could handle it with ease.
Yu Huo showed the courage to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, which made Song Fulai and Tang Ruoxi on the side break into a cold sweat. Tang Ruoxi, in particular, was worried about whether Yu Huo could cope with this crisis.
After all, Yu Huo had to face not only the wolves, tigers and leopards of the Fang family, but also the threshold of the Tang family clan, and the life of Tang Daoyi, who was lying in the coffin, was safe.
Seeing Liu Wusheng's questioning and not disturbing the priest Yu Huo, Hun Sen couldn't stand it any longer. Then he came to the third uncle Tang Daozhong, and after whispering a few words into his ear, a strange evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Alai, since Mr. Liu has doubts, let Mr. Yu stop what he is doing first. I guess everyone also wants to know whether the person invited is the spiritual woman. It can't be fake, and it can't be true, so it's good for the second brother. An explanation is not.”
I don’t know what Hun Sen and Tang Daozhong said quietly, but Tang Daozhong, who had been sitting next to the mourning hall, suddenly spoke up and directly put pressure on Song Fulai, asking him to suspend the ongoing fire of the high priest.
Song Fulai naturally knew the truth. He knew that as long as Yu Huo's rituals were stopped, he would be betrayed on the spot, and Tang Daoyi's plan to cheat his death would be ruined immediately.
After hesitating for a moment, he glanced at Yu Huo who was busy at work, hoping that Yu Huo could give him some hints, even if it was just a look in response, it would tell him whether he should find a way to delay it.
Not only Song Fulai is anxious, but Tang Ruoxi is even more worried. Once Yu Huo's plan goes bankrupt, his grandfather Tang Daoyi will definitely be in danger of his life.
Just when Song Fulai and Tang Ruoxi were stamping their feet anxiously, Yu Huo suddenly stopped what he was doing, took out four talismans from the bag at his waist, and stuck two of them on the front and back of the coffin board.
As for the other two, one was pasted on Tang Daoyi's forehead, and the other was pasted on Tang Daoyi's back and spine. Along with bursts of smoke and water vapor, the remaining fire turned Tang Daoyi into a spirit woman like a magician. The story was confirmed, and with lightning speed, Tang Daoyi's true body was temporarily hidden in the two-dimensional space.
Of course, this so-called second dimension is not that expressive, but before that, Yu Huo had an accident and asked Song Fulai to make a fuss on the coffin partition in advance, so that Tang Daoyi's true body was hidden in the coffin. Inside the secret compartment.
At the critical moment, Yu Huo could only change his plan midway and take the risk of letting Tang Daoyi become the summoned high priest. As long as Tang Daoyi became the spirit woman, no one would dare to question the authenticity of this ritual.
At the same time, Yu Huo fished in troubled waters and took advantage of others' unpreparedness. He had already put a self-sewn corpse that had been made in advance into the coffin. No one present could see any flaws.
Yu Huo suddenly stopped, which naturally gave Liu Wusheng a chance to show off. He was the first to rush forward excitedly, like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, wanting to know whether the person lying in the coffin was actually Tang Daoyi.
Seeing Liu Wusheng rushing forward, the others also gathered around curiously, just wanting to know who lost and who won in this drama.
Everyone gathered around to watch, but everyone was disappointed. Even Liu Wusheng's face showed a bit of an ugly look, because when he saw Tang Daoyi lying motionless in the coffin, his insistence became a joke. .
"How can this be?"
