The footsteps faded away, leaving only darkness around.
Feeling that the other people's breath had completely disappeared, Wandering Cloud Old Taoist sighed slightly, then his eyes became calm, picked up Law Sword, and laughed at himself:
"Be cautious for half your life, but be confused when you are old..."
After that, hold Law Sword and chant the mantra continuously.
He no longer cares about life or death, he just wants to maintain the altar so that people like Imperial Censor Wang can successfully break through.
The longer you hold on, the greater your chances are.
In the night sky, the strange singing is still echoing.
The tinkling sound of gongs and drums made people distracted.
Suddenly, the gong suddenly stopped, and everything returned to deathly silence.
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist was not happy but was surprised. A chill came up behind him and he quickly looked towards the altar in front of him.
Wow!
Inside the wooden bowl, grains surged out like a fountain.
Soon, other magical instruments also began to vibrate.
This is a symbol of the destruction of the altar.
"Don't even think about the evil!"
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist gritted his teeth, stepped hard, and stomped on the ground. Then he took out the red rope and pulled hard on the palm of his hand.
In an instant, the red rope cut his palm and blood dripped from it.
This Old Taoist didn't care, while making secrets, tying knots with red ropes, and wrapping them along the magic circle at a very fast speed.
Knot Exorcism Method, passed down from ancient times, has many types.
This kind of knot is specially used to stabilize the altar.
But obviously, the effect is not good.
The surrounding darkness was pressing inward like a wall, and the altar tables and chairs were rattling and shaking, threatening to collapse at any time.
Suddenly, the surrounding black mist condensed like corpse oil.
A corpse smell flooded into his nose.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the blood-stained red ropes were broken.
"Not good!"
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist suddenly raised his head.
But in the darkness, green flames flickered, vaguely illuminating three figures, and a cold breath hit his face.
After getting closer, his figure finally appeared.
They are three paper puppets half human height.
The three paper figures have different appearances and specifications.
One, covered with Eastern Sichuan funeral "Lao Tu Paper", soaked in Youyang Old Corpse Oil on the surface, with a broken page of <Yin Fu Ritual> pasted on his face, and the four words "Seven Killings General" written on his body...
A figure as thin as a cicada's wings, like a kite, the connection between the straw supports is fixed with blood-stained Coffin Nail, and there are also four words "Greedy Wolf General" on it...
The last one is even weirder. It is made up of layers of paper money stuck together, with "Po Jun General" written on it...
"Three Yin Generals!"
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist saw it, and his scalp immediately went numb.
The art of paper puppets is not uncommon in Daoism.
But these three in front of me are extraordinary.
When "Ghost Opera Troupe" was wreaking havoc in the world, he was still young. Although he had no direct contact with it, he had heard many rumors.
This Netherworld Stage can cast a variety of spells, and Yin Nuo Opera is the most famous one among them.
Every time Yin Nuo Opera appears, different evil spirits can be invited.
Singing <Maudgalyayana Rescues His Mother> backwards like this can attract "Blood Basin Holy Mother", and all Yin Nuo Operas have Three Yin Generals as their boss.
"Get out! The evil spirits retreat quickly!"
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist roared, bit his fingertips, quickly kneaded Entering the Taboo, and wiped it hard along Law Sword.
The blazing Gangsha Energy suddenly gathered.
Old Taoist felt hot all over his body, and blood flowed from his nostrils.
This is a desperate method that temporarily stimulates the Yang Qi Essence Blood throughout the body and unleashes powerful fighting power, but it will completely destroy the foundation and shatter the soul.
But now, he no longer cares about his life.
Whoosh!
This Old Taoist Daoist robe flicked, he jumped up directly, jumped over the altar, made a secret with his left hand, and held a sword flower with his right hand.
The tip of the sword picked up the altar candle and flicked it instantly.
Phew~
The strong wind roared, and the fire dragon drew along the blade of the sword.
Almost instantly, the "Po Jun General" paper puppet was ignited by the fire, crackling with stench and thick smoke.
After taking two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Without saying a word, Old Taoist turned around, backhanded a Su Qin Carries Sword, picked up another candle, and turned into a fire dragon and threw it out.
Boom!
There was another muffled sound, and the "Seven Killings General" paper figurine was also set on fire.
But this paper figurine was a little different. Because it was soaked in corpse oil, it didn't burn completely. Instead, it emitted billowing black smoke and corpse odor, and it rushed towards it instantly.
Bang!
Old Taoist was unprepared and was knocked down directly. He stumbled back and even smashed the altar behind him into pieces. All kinds of sacred ritual objects rolled on the ground.
The stench of the corpse was wrapped in flames, directly igniting his beard and hair.
"Death!"
Old Taoist ignored the pain and suddenly stabbed the paper man's head with the wooden sword in his hand. A vicious python turned over and chopped off the paper man's head.
But the altar has been destroyed after all.
Without the protection of the altar, the surroundings were violently windy again, black mist rolled in, and the evil wind on the ground also rushed directly to the forehead.
Once a monk is contaminated with this kind of "Bi Wind", he will be disturbed and confused, making it difficult to continue to perform spells.
Not only that, the "Greedy Wolf General" paper man also roared over.
The paper figure was as thin as a cicada's wings and stuck directly behind him.
Old Taoist could feel that his body began to stiffen, and there seemed to be something blowing next to his ears. He felt drowsy, and seemed to be about to fall asleep at any moment.
"Hahaha... let's die together!"
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist was also a little crazy. He took out the fire stick from his waist, blew it, and ran behind him.
This is their final plan.
If they really can't run away, they light gunpowder and die together.
But Old Taoist ran a few steps in a daze, only to realize that the surroundings were dark. Gunpowder Depot, who was so close at first, did not know where he was.
"Ecstasy..."
Old Taoist was so unwilling that he fell to the ground.
My consciousness seemed to be separated from my body, my vision quickly turned black, and I lost consciousness...
Just as the Daoist was fighting for his life, something strange happened outside.
Li Yan and others followed the Big Dipper in the darkness and quickly arrived at the gate of the government office. They kicked it open and rushed out.
At the same time, darkness spread rapidly.
Wandering Cloud Old Taoist was arrogant and fell into death, but he was right about one thing.
In this formation, the formation follows the movement of the person.
Li Yan and others came out, and the range of the formation also expanded.
"Look!"
The soldiers who set up a blockade outside immediately realized something was wrong.
The dense black fog originally surrounded the entire Chengdu Prefecture Yamen, but now, the black fog actually spreads outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because of the black fog, they couldn't see anything.
Baihu of the Guard House was a shrewd man. When his heart moved, he immediately ordered, "Aim at the gate and fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The soldiers didn't waste any time and just pulled the trigger.
At the same time, Li Yan and the others have also arrived.
Although the soldiers fired randomly, two shots were fired. The powerful Divine Firearm shot directly through the door.
"Ah--!"
A Bagua Gate disciple failed to dodge and was shot in the chest.
Needless to say, the gate of the government office is made of fine jujube wood, which is three fingers thick. After the Divine Firearm bullet penetrates it, its power is also much reduced.
But even so, there was a bloody hole in this disciple's chest, blood was spraying from his mouth, his eyes were full of despair, and he soon lost his breath.
"Zhu Zi!"
Dong Cunshan dragged Imperial Censor Wang away, his eyes full of anger.
It stands to reason that at this point, other Bagua Gate disciples can also climb out of the wall and rush into the formation from other directions.
However, they were still enveloped by the Netherworld Stage formation.
If you leave the range of the flags of the seven Daoist priests, you will be blown away by the slanting wind, and you will faint immediately, and you will not be able to take action.
"After three breaths, rush out!"
Li Yan gave a low shout and left the range of the Dharma flag.
This time he was on guard, Dragon Snake Plate protector, Armguard Thousand Thoughts on his left arm, and the copper coins rattled to resist the evil wind.
Without any hesitation, Li Yan used his strength to step on the wall next to him and jumped into the air, jumping onto the street.
But at the same time, the surrounding black fog also spread.
This situation really surprised Li Yan.
He thought he would break out of the formation, but he didn't expect to be trapped by the formation. This formation should be combined with a spell, and everyone in the government office has been marked.
But at this moment, he couldn't think too much about it.
After jumping off the wall, his whole body exploded with Hidden Strength. He tiptoed, like a dragonfly touching water, and jumped directly into the soldiers of the guard station.
Clang Clang Clang!
Two Soul Severing Throwing Knifes flew up and down, killing four people instantly.
Not only that, those soldiers were also dragged into the formation by him. The evil wind flew up from the soles of their feet, and they soon fainted and fell to the ground.
In the eyes of the remaining guardsmen, a large amount of black mist surged in, like a beast, directly swallowing the people in front.
The screams continued and no one could escape.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The hundreds of households in the guardhouse felt their hearts tremble and they quickly ordered.
A gap finally appeared in the impenetrable encirclement.
Dong Cunshan and others inside could not hear the outside sound, but they trusted Li Yan. After counting three breaths, they rushed out directly.
Sure enough, there was no obstacle.
But when they came to the street, they didn't know what to do next.
Not to mention that there was a dark fog all around, making me feel dizzy and not knowing where to run. The disciples of Bagua Gate were not very familiar with Chengdu.
What's even more troublesome is that Seven Stars Flag above is also starting to dim.
"Not good, uncle, he..."
When the Daoists below saw it, their faces were filled with grief and anger.
"What are you waiting for? Come with me!"
At this moment, Li Yan arrived in time carrying a black cloth bag, shouted low, and ran directly to the left.
"Where are we going?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just follow me!"
Li Yan looked gloomy and walked quickly ahead.
He has been organizing team activities for a long time, and is used to making complete preparations for every operation. When he comes, he gets the evacuation plan from Faceless Young Master.
Although it is cumbersome, it can definitely evade the pursuers.
Puff puff puff!
Suddenly, all the Dharma flags above spontaneously ignited.
Cloud Daoist in the government office is dead, the Dharma altar is destroyed, and these Dharma flags have no foundation, so naturally they cannot support them.
In an instant, the evil wind roared around again.
Fortunately, these White Cloud Temple Daoists are not weak.
"Come closer to me!"
The leading Daoist shouted loudly, then drew out Law Sword at the same time, chanted a mantra, and led another Daoist to insert the sword into the ground, creating a Eight Trigrams Diagram pattern.
Then, they pulled out the red rope at the same time, turned around the hilt, changed their positions, and immediately connected all Law Sword, and attached Yellow Talisman to the hilt.
After doing this, they sat down cross-legged and chanted the incantation.
This is also a protective formation, but compared to the previous altar, it is obviously much inferior. It can only defend and cannot move.
The disciples of Bagua Gate, also led by Dong Cunshan, quickly entered the formation and looked around with guarded faces.
Dong Cunshan is also really depressed.
Bagua Gate is not without martial arts, but none of them have awakened Divine Ability. There are many things going on in the capital, and White Cloud Temple is following them, so they don't care.
Even if they encounter the garrison army, they have no fear and can always find a way to break out. However, they are trapped in a strange formation and cannot do anything.
Li Yan stood outside the formation, staring at the street opposite, and threw the black cloth bag on his shoulder to Dong Cunshan with his backhand.
"What is this?"
"The key to breakout."
Dong Cunshan was a little confused. He opened a corner and looked at it, and suddenly his forehead started to sweat.
Inside, there were actually two explosive packets.
These are the belongings of the soldiers at the guard station. Li Yan just saw them and chased them out to snatch them away. This was a waste of time.
After carefully putting the package away, Dong Cunshan looked forward Li Yan and couldn't help but ask, "Young Hero Li, what are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for the opportunity to break the formation!"
Daoist White Cloud Temple next to him had a solemn look on his face and said, "It will be difficult for us to break through unless we break this formation."
"If you want to break through this Yin Nuo Opera, you must first destroy the Three Yin Generals protecting the formation. Then Blood Basin Holy Mother will appear, which is the formation eye."
"Kill him and the formation will collapse!"
Li Yan nodded and touched his arms.
There is also a Celestial Decree in the ultimatum, which is the confidence that he dares to take risks...
"They escaped!"
Hundreds of households from the guardhouse hurriedly came over and said with anxious faces, "Please take action, don't let the prisoner escape!"
Now that things have happened, he doesn't dare to make a big deal about it anymore.
Facing these weird guys, firearms are not easy to use.
"Hehe~"
Nie Third Aunt leaned on a cane and shook his head with a smile, "Netherworld Stage The formation has not dispersed yet. If I go in, I will die as well."
"What should we do?"
Baihu was confused and asked quickly.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Nie Third Aunt was not in a hurry, stuffed a Yuanxiao ball made of pills into his mouth, and looked at the other side, "These two fellow Daoists haven't used their methods yet."
Ghost Zhong Kui Situ Qian also looked gloomy.
Looking at the burned "Seven Kills" and "Pojun" tablets, he stepped back and waved his fan again.
Phew~
Yin Wind roared, and the "Greed Wolf" tablet shook slightly.
But between breaths, the last tablet burned instantly.
"The other side has a master!"
Ghost Zhong Kui Situ Qian's face became more ferocious, and he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Bai, we can only use Blood Basin Holy Mother, get ready."
To be honest, tonight was a bit beyond his expectation.
Most of the time, using Netherworld Stage, evil wind alone can take down everyone. At most, Three Yin Generals can be used.
If "Blood Basin Holy Mother" is summoned, Bai Qi Hong must be used as Spirit Medium. It will take several months to train afterwards, which is a way to keep the bottom of the box.
But the matter is forced to this point, with so many Left Path Sorcerers watching. If he fails, Ghost Opera Troupe's reputation will be damaged and he will definitely be punished.
Bai Qi Hong also understood the power of it, biting his fingertips without hesitation, and sketched ghostly symbols on his pale face.
Situ Qian, instead of Mystical Gestures, kept rotating around Bronze Stage with its back, mouthing sutras faster and faster, and at the same time took out a lot of paper money from its arms and threw it into the air.
On Bronze Stage, billowing black mist suddenly appeared on the top of the Sanchong Xieshan Mountain. In the center of the caisson on the stage, Yin Yang Mirror slowly rotated.
Paper money was flying all over the sky, and Bai Qi Hong also changed his singing tune.
"After the blood and wine are drunk, the world is darkened. Liu Shi empress opens the door. The son of the Yang family should not be filial, but he should cut off his heart and liver to show his kindness..."
"Welcome Blood Basin Holy Mother!"
"One hundred thousand hungry ghosts are well fed!"
As she sang, a large stream of blood mist surged out of the stage, surrounding her entire body, vaguely forming a lotus shape...
