Chapter 215: Square Formation
Yu Ning randomly recruited a soldier, and together with her, there were four people in total, forming a formation.
It is a very complicated task to liberate the souls in the bowl. Yu Ning had never done it before, but she had the notes left by her master. After reading them carefully twice, she was able to get the hang of it and led her friends to set up the formation in an orderly manner.
The four square formations are arranged in a square formation with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise occupying each side, and the skull bowl is placed in the center of the formation.
The square formation can not only trap the souls of the dead and prevent them from escaping, but also increase everyone's magic power. It is a simple and crude formation, but also very effective.
After taking his positions, Yu Ning began to activate the center of the formation. Along with the ancient secret spell, the bowl made of a human skull began to emit black smoke.
One after another, ghosts roared out from inside, filling the dark room with a sinister aura.
“Oh my god! I witnessed history! I have a bright future! I am working on big projects with a big boss!” Xiao Kui kept muttering while making hand gestures and chanting incantations.
She really wants to post a circle of friends ~ Whoever follows Ning Xiaozu will have a bright future. Isn’t she very successful now? She is working on some unheard-of big projects.
"Concentrate." Yu Ning reminded.
These souls who were brutally killed all had strong resentment and were no longer conscious. They attacked frantically as soon as they came out, but under the effect of the square formation, any resentful attacks were ineffective.
Yu Ning held the Sanqing Bell in her left hand and the token in her right hand, and solemnly prayed for the souls of the dead. Every time she rang the bell, a resentful soul was sent away.
The huge black mass that was originally burnt together gradually became smaller due to her efforts.
It was extremely exhausting for Ning to help so many people to be liberated at once, and the number of dead souls was much greater than she had expected.
At first she thought there were dozens of resentful souls suppressed in the bowl, but when she actually started to liberate them, she found that the number was far more than dozens.
She had sent away dozens of them, and the black ball had shrunk by two circles, but there were still quite a few inside.
Beads of sweat were already oozing out of Yu Ning's nose; this ritual of salvation had exhausted her physically.
Not only Yu Ning, Xiao Kui and Xiao Fang are also reaching their limits. Xiao Kui has no body, and Xiao Fang has not yet recovered from the battle injuries from the past few days.
Her master's troops are in decent condition and can hold on for a while, but if Xiaokui can't hold on, the formation will be broken, and it will be a big problem if these resentful souls escape.
Yu Ning was determined to use her ultimate move.
She put away the Sanqing Bell, put away her own token, and replaced it with her master's token.
Tokens, like seals, are important tools for Taoist priests. The quality of tokens used in different occasions is also different.
After Yu Ning exchanged her master's token, she could issue orders based on the name of the ancestor, which was equivalent to the tiger talisman of ancient soldiers. With this token, she could summon the ancestor in a short time.
If you can’t beat them, ask for help.
But she only has one token, and it will be gone once used. It is a consumable item.
Moreover, he would be extremely weak after using it, but Yu Ning wanted to end the battle quickly, so he didn't care about so much and directly used the master's order.
With one move, the Grandmaster descended and cleared most of the wronged souls. Only a few were left. Yu Ning was really out of strength, so she left it to her friends to deal with.
This successful move shocked Xiaokui. In her opinion, Yu Ning was a woman among women. She was really tough.
The remaining resentful souls were sent away by Xiaofang and the soldiers. When there was only one left, the resentment in her was not so strong, and she seemed to have retained a trace of consciousness. Xiaofang looked at her, and even though she looked very unfamiliar, her tears kept flowing.
"Wait a moment." Yu Ning stopped the soldiers. She saw that the last one seemed to have something to say.
"Don't be soft-hearted." Bingma said coldly. He was the only man in the room, a middle-aged Taoist in his forties. Throughout the whole process, he had a cold face and looked unwilling.
This person was not ranked high among Taoist Zewu's soldiers, and Yu Ning could not remember his name, but she remembered that he was a particularly misogynistic guy. If it wasn't for the random selection, Yu Ning would not bother to look at him.
"There are women all over this room, so what if I'm just being kind?" Xiao Kui has been annoyed with this guy for a long time.
He walked to that station with a sullen face, as if someone owed him money.
If it was just a sour face, Xiao Kui could tolerate it, but the key was that this guy would look at Yu Ning with contempt from time to time. Xiao Kui had been holding her breath for a long time when her idol was being despised like this.
"Hehe, you unknown guy, are you worthy enough to talk to me? And you... a brothel girl..." The Taoist glanced at Xiaofang and turned away with disgust.
His gaze finally fell on Yu Ning, and he snorted coldly.
"How could a noble man like Zewu Tianshi accept a woman as his disciple? Women are born with a little ugliness. It's too much for me to listen to your orders. You also recruited so many questionable women to be with me, tarnishing my identity."
"Shut up." Yu Ning used only two words to retort this guy's long speech.
This is the aura.
No matter whether these soldiers obey her or not, they were summoned by her and have to obey her orders.
The Taoist priest's face turned even darker after being scolded by her, but he didn't dare to continue speaking.
Xiaofang didn't care about the man's insult at all. Her attention was all on the last remaining resentful soul.
Her eyes were already filled with tears, and so was the vengeful spirit, looking at Xiaofang with tearful eyes.
After a person dies, the three souls: the heavenly soul returns to heaven, the earthly soul returns to the underworld, and the human soul returns to the grave. Because the soul is incomplete, the emotions are also different from when one was alive.
Many memories will fade, and we will not have the same passionate emotions towards the living as we did when we were alive. Only very strong emotions can remain in the soul.
Although Xiaofang became Yu Ning's soldier, she was still a ghost in essence, and the same went for the resentful spirit in the formation.
Two people who shouldn't have had strong feelings for each other, at this moment, glared at each other.
Xiaofang could even feel that the one who called her in the bowl that day was the woman in front of her, her closest relative.
Yu Ning took out a talisman and slapped it on the resentful spirit to release her from the formation, so that the resentful spirit could say a few words to Xiaofang before leaving, thus allowing this pair of closest relatives to part ways in life and death.
This action completely drained away her last bit of energy, and her face turned pale instantly.
Seeing her wasting her energy on such a romantic relationship, the male Taoist sneered even more.
Mouthing in his mouth.
"Women shouldn't be allowed to hold power. Being soft-hearted can accomplish nothing. It's meaningless."
"Don't leave after work. Let's meet at the toilet door." Xiao Kui also muttered to him.
I've been annoyed with this guy for a long time.
Judging from his attire, he looks like a Taoist priest from the Qing Dynasty, and his values are also ancient values. But if he uses the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the socialist successor and create gender confrontation, then he really deserves a beating.
"Mengfang, you are Mengfang, right? I am your mother!" The resentful soul was released and could speak. She looked at Xiaofang and burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
