Yu Huo acted strangely, which made everyone more or less puzzled, but Lai Changqing didn't take it seriously, because he knew in his heart that anyone with some ability would not act according to routines.
"You guys, why are you talking nonsense? Just follow Mr. Yu's instructions."
Lai Changqing angrily yelled at his subordinates that the reason why his style of painting changed suddenly, from wanting to get rid of Yu Huo to unconditionally supporting Yu Huo, was simply because he saw Yu Huo's real talent with his own eyes.
If it is true as Yu Huo said, it can bring the dying lamp back to life, there is no harm in letting Yu Huo try it, but it is an opportunity to take the initiative.
After Lai Changqing finished his wishful thinking, he gave up the idea of killing Yu Huo. He changed his previous attitude and obeyed Yu Huo's arrangements and protected him in every possible way.
"Boss, do you really want to do what this guy says?"
Even though Lai Changqing had given the order, many brothers still had too many doubts and confusions about Yu Huo's outrageous operation, and even more, they were disdainful and dissatisfied.
"Do you have a better idea?"
As soon as he said this, Lai Changqing looked around disdainfully, but found that no one among the brothers standing under his hands dared to stand up and speak.
Lai Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief and then said: "If you have no other way, then just listen to him. At least he is saving us."
With Lai Changqing's support, Yu Huo has a strong backing force and can boldly give it a go.
Everyone has moved five live chickens, five cows and sheep, and five dogs to the old man's soul. They are neatly placed directly south of the coffin, as if the family members are performing their last filial piety.
The remaining fire came to the old man's soul, offered sacrifices to the old man, and asked the spirit lady to save the souls of the dead, guide the dead souls, cross the Naihe Bridge, reincarnate, and start a new life.
Yu Huo held the talisman paper in his left hand, and held a silver needle between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, between the middle finger and ring finger, and between the ring finger and little finger. He surrounded the old man's coffin and kept chanting incomprehensible spells. After completing the complete ritual process, as expected, there was a burst of thick smoke billowing from the scene, and the remaining fire invited the spirit woman out.
"Behead the chicken!"
As soon as Yu Huo finished speaking, Lai Changqing saw Chang Chang Sword in his hand, and the heads of five live chickens were forcibly decapitated. Blood burst out and spattered around the coffin, making people look somewhat bloody and violent.
Performing filial piety in front of the soul is a noble tribute to the deceased, and beheading the chicken head as a gift is the first dish of the ritual.
"Sheep's head!"
Yu Huo waved the talisman paper in his hand, which had the pattern of a sheep's head drawn on it. One after another, five talisman papers were pasted on the foreheads of the five sheep respectively. The lambs, who were originally a little panicked and restless, suddenly Stopped in place.
Five lambs were lined up, facing the old man's coffin. Under the talisman of each sheep was a neat goatee, like a mourner paying homage to the soul of the deceased.
Immediately after Yu Huo completed the ritual etiquette, Lai Changqing's five men took out their long swords and cut off the heads of the five sheep. All the sheep bodies came out of the laboratory, but all five sheep heads were hung on. On the back of the coffin, on the wall where the deceased's head was facing.
The five sheep heads were hung, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and majesty immediately. At this time, the sounds of struggling in the coffin seemed to have subsided, but the wailing and unwilling resistance still remained.
Resentful ghosts are nothing more than those who died unexpectedly during life and were unwilling to be reincarnated after death, so they wander in this underworld, unable to live in peace for their souls and bodies, and even want to return to the human world, just for revenge.
Perhaps the souls wandering around the nest may be thinking about one day returning to the human world, becoming human again, fulfilling their unfulfilled wishes in life, and saying goodbye to their lovers or relatives again.
Similarly, this is also the most direct reason for the abandoned nest, and everyone tried their best to get the Ming Lantern.
The temptation brought by the dark lantern is enough to make the sentient beings in the abandoned nest think of getting him, even at the risk of annihilation.
In Yichao's view, the Ming Lantern is a beacon towards the light, the key to get out of this hellish gate, and the only hope to return to the human world.
On the contrary, the human world also regards the underworld lantern as a thorn in the side, because the underworld lantern can lead the evil spirits wandering in the world into the nest and return to the underworld. But once the underworld lantern is extinguished, the door of ghosts will be wide open. At that time, the original human ghosts will The boundaries of special paths will be completely subverted.
"Cow-beating sacrifice!"
I saw Yu Huo leading a cow, and the other four cows followed the first cow, came to the coffin containing the old man, circled it three times, this operation was called sewing the corpse to guide the way, and then kept muttering some spells in his mouth, as if there was a pattern. Some are doing salvation for the souls of the deceased.
Immediately afterwards, the long sword in Lai Changqing's hand suddenly stabbed a cow. The cow groaned and fell to the ground without any movement.
This scared the other cows into panic, but Lai Changqing's other men stabbed all the other cows to the ground with three punches and two kicks. The blood stained the entire coffin, and with the lights in the laboratory, it looked particularly weird and terrifying. .
At this moment, some noises suddenly came from inside the coffin. If you listened carefully, you could indeed hear the miserable choking sounds coming from inside the coffin. It was the old man making his last struggle.
Yu Huo looked at the three incense sticks that were almost finished burning behind him, and quickly reminded him: "We don't have much time left."
'Sacrifice the dog and sacrifice it! '
Yu Huo asked Lai Changqing's men to put five black dogs that barked non-stop on dog leashes and arrange them in five directions on both sides of the old man's coffin.
This formation was recorded in the handbooks of the ancestors of the corpse-stitching line, and it was called "Xiangu", which means to be buried with him.
Since ancient times, there has been a custom of sacrificing livestock or gold and silver treasures to accompany the old man, but it is rare to sacrifice dogs. The reason why Yu Huo wanted to bury the old man with five black dogs.
On the one hand, it is to let the old man raise five sons during his lifetime. It is better to raise five dogs and sacrifice the dogs. It is nothing more than letting the five dogs act as the five unfilial sons of the old man, so that the old man can die in a proper way and with peace of mind.
On the other hand, Yuhuo naturally wanted to use the blood of five black dogs as the medicine for the spell, so that the deceased could rest in peace.
This black dog must be a male dog. Female dogs will not work, so Yu Huo has something to say first and must get five pure black dogs.
Since ancient times, the Taoist sect has used black dog blood to drive away evil spirits, supplemented by talismans. To attract evil.
The ghost of the deceased is still lingering and the grievances are too strong. Resurrection and cannibalism are already sinister and evil. Once the evil spirits are exorcised at this time, the extremes of things will inevitably be reversed, which will inevitably lead to the ultimate resistance of the deceased, and even resurrection and cannibalism.
At this time, some Yin Qi was attracted, allowing these extremely Yin Qi resentful spirits to suppress the restless ghost of the old man. Such an unexpected method confirmed the old saying of fighting fire with fire.
Sure enough, this method was very effective. With the help of black dog blood and the special talisman of the corpse-stitching line, Yu Huo finally suppressed the old man's wronged soul, and there was no possibility of turning into a vicious corpse again.
But for the sake of safety, Yu Huo asked Lai Changqing's men to replace them with brand-new coffin nails, and said with a serious face: "Each of the eight coffin nails can only be struck nine times before it goes into the bottom. Otherwise, Everything we have done before will be in vain.”
Yu Huo is not an alarmist, because for an evil ghost who is unwilling to be reincarnated, he can only rely on forcible suppression, and Yu Huo's previous series of operations are nothing more than using some substitutes, or sacrifices, to relieve the dead. The soul avenges injustice so that the deceased can be freed from misfortune.
Sealing a coffin is a technical task that should not be trivial, especially when dealing with the grudges of the deceased. Each coffin needs to be nailed to the bottom with just the right amount of heat, and nine taps is the key to nailing the coffin.
Moreover, these eight coffin nails require eight skilled men to hammer the eight coffin nails at the same time. The time error of each coffin nail entering the bottom is no more than two seconds at most. Divine synchronization is naturally the best result.
At this time, the time has come to test teamwork. Whether Lai Changqing's group of people are united will become clear later.
Lai Changqing found the seven most trusted brothers, plus he had exactly eight people. The eight people on the same channel directly determined the previous efforts, and success or failure depended on this.
Everyone was ready. Lai Changqing nodded, then swung the sledgehammer in his hand and aimed it at the coffin nails.
"Relieve the soul and redress the injustice, seal the coffin!"
Yu Huo gave the order, and only heard the sound of neat sledgehammer hitting steel nails, one, two, three... With the crisp sound of the ninth sledgehammer hitting the steel nails, the eight coffin nails hit the ground without any bias. It has bottomed out, and the coffin cover is firmly buckled on the coffin.
Judging from the sound just now, under the command of Lai Changqing, the beating time of the eight people can be said to be synchronized. This also made Yu Huo somewhat gratified, and then said: "Master Lai, everyone who wants you, come to the coffin of the deceased. Light three sticks of incense in front of you and perform a worship ceremony to ward off misfortune and darkness."
When Yu Huo spoke, no one in labor dared not to obey, because although Yu Huo's series of tricks just now were a bit funny, the final result was good. In other words, Yu Huo now became everyone present. savior.
Yu Huo doesn't ask for gratitude, he just hopes that Lai Changqing and his men will no longer have the desire to kill. After all, everyone present can get out of here alive. Yu Huo has proven his ability.
After two trials, Yu Huo has clearly seen the fact that Lai Changqing cannot be trusted.
It is impossible to find the whereabouts of Ming Deng through him, because Lai Changqing is a businessman, and those who do business are always calculating.
Calculate every transaction and every payment. Is there any return? What's the reward? How high are the returns? These are calculated clearly.
Ming Deng is in danger, and Yu Huo cannot waste it with Lai Changqing. If Ming Deng falls, the consequences will be disastrous.
Needing to save himself, Yu Huo needs to get rid of Lai Changqing's surveillance as soon as possible, leave the nest, and find a way to rescue Ming Deng.
"Mr. Yu, today we have seen with our own eyes your courage and ability to deal with things calmly, and we have also seen his superb skills in sewing corpses. By the way, the underworld lamp that Mr. Yu wanted is now in the custody of Lord Ghost, but Master Guishou has been in seclusion for more than three months. When Master Guishou comes out of seclusion, I will take you to see him immediately so that you can extend your life for Ming Deng, what do you think?"
Seeing that the crisis in the laboratory had been resolved, Lai Changqing began to make small plans again. While giving Yu Huo a high hat, he wanted to stabilize Yu Huo and wait for an opportunity to secretly learn the technique of sewing corpses.
But Yu Huo is not a three-year-old child. After repeated testing and coaxing, he even has the motive to kill him. Even a fool will not believe Lai Changqing's lies.
But Yu Huo couldn't show it too much, so he had to deal with it and said: "Please do as you wish, everything will be arranged by Master Lai."
