Hao Laodao gathered the prepared objects together and built a very crude altar. In addition to the Taoist Sanqing Bell, there was only an incense burner. He asked Captain Hong, the governor of Zhou County, and others to stay elsewhere and not to disturb him.
After this whole set of rituals, Hao Laodao needs to force the poisonous insects out of Zhou Qing's body before the incense in the incense burner burns out. Otherwise, without the help of the divine power of the altar, Zhou Qing's soul body cannot be maintained, and he must be forcibly removed. On the contrary, Gu insects are in danger of their lives.
Taoist Hao respectfully placed three sticks of incense, recited the scriptures, and communicated with the gods of heaven and earth to send down their divine power. As the projected divine power increased, You Ziji beside him had goosebumps all over his body and became more and more uncomfortable.
Taoist Hao took out the mahogany sword that he had received from Governor Zhou and danced in front of the altar for a while like a master. It is not known where he learned the technique. The process looked more like witchcraft.
At the end of the sword dance, Hao Laodao shook the Sanqing Bell with his left hand and pointed the wooden sword forward with his right hand. Just hearing the sound of "ding bell", a layer of mist suddenly appeared in the yard. The source could not be seen, but it slowly gathered and thickened. Taoist Hao shook the bell, raised his sword and pointed again. The mist seemed to be blown by the wind and divided into two parts, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Zhou Qing's boudoir. Hao Laodao danced the mahogany sword. He placed a piece of talisman on the tip of the sword, passed the incense head and set it on fire. The talisman turned into a meteor, flying towards the top of the house in the direction of the sword tip. The surrounding fog was attracted by the meteor, and exploded violently, turning into dots of starlight, forming a barrier near the house. The Taoist priest no longer shook the Sanqing Bell in his hand, but hung it in front of him and never dropped it.
You Ziji watched the formation of the barrier from the side, and couldn't help but think of the formation flag he got at Damian Lake. It would be much easier for Xiaohu to use it to perform formations, but he didn't know what the magical effect of Hao Laodao's barrier was.
The two of them waited outside the house for a while. Under the influence of the entire barrier, Zhou Qing's breathing became tight, and it seemed that she was about to wake up.
Hao Laodao took out a piece of worn-out talisman paper, folded it and put it into a yellow cloth bag. He also took off a peach wood hairpin from his head and handed it to Xiao Huang. This is an opportunity to cut off the connection between Gu Chong and Qing'er's niece. As for other things, just adapt to your circumstances."
Xiao Huang didn't feel any nervousness at all. He and Hao Laodao depended on each other for their lives. They had experienced this kind of formation a lot and had long been familiar with it. He grabbed the peach wood hairpin with his little paws, held the cloth bag in his mouth, turned around and left.
"Brother You, I'll have to rely on your ability to conquer the Gu insects later." Hao Laodao looked at You Ziji sincerely, "If Brother You hadn't been here, I wouldn't have dared to repel the insects with my little ability. Qing'er is me. Niece, please take care of me, Brother You."
"What's the Taoist saying? If you have a way, I'll do my part. Let's save others from danger together. It's better than having no way to start."
You Ziji was about to take a step forward when he was stopped by Hao Laodao again, "My formation is mainly to protect the patient's soul and body. Although it also suppresses evil spirits, after all, I am only practicing Qi and cultivation, so it won't have much effect. These three The Qing bell will ring every moment. After three rings, the incense on the altar will burn out and the barrier will collapse. I will not be able to protect Qing'er's body and soul. Time is running out, so please do it as soon as possible. "
After speaking, Taoist Hao bowed down and said, "On behalf of the county governor, I would like to thank Brother You for your help." You Ziji quickly supported him.
"It's me who thanks the county governor. The food here is very delicious."
…
Zhou Qing was full of energy in the morning and unknowingly took care of many flowers and plants. Suddenly she felt a tightness in her chest and fainted to the ground. At this time, Youyou woke up and looked around, and found that she was in her bedroom, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. I felt comfortable in my chest again, and although my body was still a little weak, I was in good spirits. I guess my father finally invited Mr. Li to curb his condition.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief. As a young girl, she yearned for the future life, but after all, she was still afraid of illness and death.
She tried hard to get up, but she couldn't use any strength. She opened her mouth to ask Xi'er to help her, only to find that her throat seemed hoarse and there was no sound. She tried a few more times, but there was no sound. She felt something was wrong. She seemed to be mute.
Suddenly, there was a "Gala" sound from the ground, and a black shadow lifted up the floor and jumped out from the ground. Zhou Qing's body suddenly tensed up, but she could not do anything else.
This black shadow was at least half a man tall. Its fangs were turned out, its scarlet tongue licked its nose from time to time, and saliva from its mouth dripped on the floor from time to time. The sound of drool dripping increased Zhou Qing's fear.
It laughed and retched suddenly, then stretched out its big black claws and dug into its own throat, stirring its arms left and right as if searching for something. Then he pulled out a set of damaged clothes stained with gastric juice and threw them on the ground. Black Shadow felt much more comfortable, and his body lay limply on the ground, resting.
Zhou Qing was terrified, knowing that there was a man-eating monster next to her, but curiosity drove her to look in the direction of the black shadow. She turned her neck hard, and finally saw the thing clearly from the corner of her eye, but she saw that the clothes looked familiar, weren't they Xi'er's clothes. Zhou Qing stayed on the spot and was filled with grief. Tears rolled in the corners of her eyes several times and finally fell. She cried silently, her heart filled with despair, thinking that if the monster woke up, it would eat her next. It's a pity that sister Xi'er was killed by a monster because of her burden.
She tilted her head at this moment, and in order to prevent the monster from noticing anything strange, she had to turn her head back. Unexpectedly, the monster had arrived directly above the bed and looked at her with a wide scarlet mouth. Zhou Qing couldn't bear the fright and fainted with a scream.
After being frightened, the soul of a mortal will leave the body for a short time. At this moment, it can escape the control of the Gu insect. You Ziji, who had been hidden in the dark, took action at the right time. According to the method taught by Hao Laodao, he pressed Zhou Qing's Yintang and removed the Gu. The power of the insect in Zhou Qing's soul was completely driven out.
And that black shadow is naturally Xiao Huang. Its current figure has become much stronger with the blessing of the talisman.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang immediately revealed his true form, took out a sword-shaped mahogany hairpin and pointed it at Zhou Qing, waiting for the Gu insect to appear. Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Huang got into his stance, black energy emerged from Zhou Qing's body and filled Zhou Qing's body, without giving Xiao Huang a chance to draw his sword.
You Ziji had been waiting there for a long time. According to Hao Laodao's prior arrangement, he took action to seal the two parts of Zhou Qing's heart and soul, saving Zhou Qing's life and blocking the black energy from corroding Zhou Qing's body. The black energy couldn't succeed, and it trembled violently. A brown beetle-like Gu appeared from Zhou Qing's body, and rushed towards Xiao Huang along with the black energy. Although it had a bad temper and lacked intelligence, it relied on its instinct to know that You Zi Ji Not easy to mess with, bully the soft persimmon first.
This Gu insect was controlled by a foundation-building monk. Just by looking at the power in front of him, he knew that it was not weak and could not be solved by Hao Lao Dao. At this time, Xiao Huang was blessed by the divine power of the talisman in the cloth bag. Ling Ran was not afraid and fought head-on.
The battle between the bug and the weasel was nothing to watch, but it was extremely dangerous. Both sides were moving around looking for opportunities, preparing for a fatal blow. It's just that Xiao Huang's strength cannot cause a fatal kill, it is just looking for vulnerabilities in the Gu insect.
The first bell rang. Xiao Huang did not dare to waste time and rushed forward. Gu Chong immediately followed. The two sides collided with each other. The power of Gu Chong was so great that Xiao Huang, who was blessed by the talisman, was knocked to the ground, but Xiao Huang also He took the opportunity to shoot out the magical sword, cutting off the connection between the Gu insect and Zhou Qing.
This hairpin is cultivated by Hao Lao Tao every day. It has some supernatural powers, and its power may not be as powerful as high-level magic weapons, but it is easy to use. The true energy attached to it is stable and gentle, and will not harm Zhou Qing's soul and body. This If You Ziji took action, he would probably kill Zhou Qing and Gu Chong directly.
You Ziji was on the sidelines unable to intervene, but when he saw the Gu insect escape, he immediately protected Zhou Qing behind him. Xiao Huang came to Zhou Qing's side and helped Zhou Qing recover her soul.
When the Gu insect found out that its host was separated, it became angry. No matter who the opponent was, it exploded the true energy in its body and wanted to return to Zhou Qing's body. Naturally, You Ziji would not let it succeed and used the wind of his palm to drive away the Gu insects.
The aftermath of the fight between the two sides shook the inside and outside of the house. You Ziji felt that too much power would affect Zhou Qing's recovery, so he had to focus on defense and try not to cause greater fluctuations.
Although the Gu insects were rampaging, they could not last long, and You Ziji could deal with them easily. When the second bell rang, Xiao Huang finally put Zhou Qing's soul back into his body. You Ziji stopped releasing water and used the spirit-prisoning technique to easily tear apart the black energy protecting the Gu insect. He reached out and reached out. Grab it and hold it in your hand.
It's just that this Gu insect's body is hard and struggling, and You Ziji can't suppress it. So he put the Gu insect in the palm of his hand and cast Samadhi True Fire.
He remembered what Chang Yunbai said yesterday about refining true energy, but he didn't know the secret. He noticed that the power of Hao Laodao's hairpin was not leaked when it cut off the connection between the Gu insects. It achieved the effect of accurately controlling the true energy. If he had this ability yesterday, he would not be afraid of the monks of the Dragon King Temple. Probing.
Relying on his own understanding, You Ziji tried to hold the Samadhi True Fire in the palm of his hand, hiding it, and the heat radiated by the true fire was enough to stop the Gu insects from struggling. Sure enough, the Gu worms calmed down and stopped making any movement after a while, but the aroma of barbecue emanated from the whole room, and You Ziji actually cooked the Gu worms directly with the heat.
"Oh, it's a pity. I originally wanted to study this Gu insect, but now it's wasted."
At this time, the third bell rang outside the window, the barrier collapsed, and Hao Laodao ran in as quickly as possible. When he saw the ripe Gu worm in You Ziji's hand, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them checked Zhou Qing's body to make sure there were no hidden dangers, and then You Ziji used Qi to sort out her meridians, so that she could recover faster.
