"The core of the summoning array is in the Zhang Mansion not far ahead. It is the mansion of an official from the Ministry of Revenue. It is located in the southern and western area of the city. It can be regarded as a place with hidden Yin in the Southern Ming. In fact, it is the most suitable place to use as a haunted house." Yu Lu whispered.
"Hidden Yin in the Southern Ming? Heh, this official from the Ministry of Revenue really knows how to choose a place to live in a haunted house. "The Red Hand Daoist was surprised.
After all, in terms of Fengshui, a haunted house was not suitable for living people to live in. The conflict between Yin and Yang would only cause the house to be unstable and the animals to be restless.
"Daoist Master, you don't know this. This is Chang 'an City, under the foot of the emperor. Naturally, you can't build a tomb at will. This official surnamed Zhang most likely bought this place to build a mansion, but he didn't live in it. It was a shady business. "Dan Yangzi was proficient in the Ghost Dao. He also dabbled in these taboos of Yin and Yang.
"Yes, this house has been empty, so it has been quietly occupied by the people of the Body Refining Altar a long time ago." Yu Lu nodded and said.
"Fellow Daoist specially mentioned the 'Hidden Yin in the Southern Ming'. Is there anything special to pay attention to?" Shen Luo asked.
"Naturally. The Southern Ming is fire, and the five elements are yang. There is an underground water vein extending from the direction of the Black Tortoise Gate, forming a place with hidden Yin Qi. It was originally the burial place of the elder of the official surnamed Zhang's family. Now, it has been transformed into a summoning array by the cultivators of the Body Refining Altar. We are going to destroy it here. "Yu Lu said.
"In that case, there is no time to lose. Let's go." The Red Hand Daoist said.
"Everyone, please wear this before you go." Yu Lu said.
After saying that, he turned his wrist and five talismans drawn on Blue Frost Paper appeared in his palm.
Shen Luo's gaze fell on the blue talisman. When he saw a human pattern drawn in the middle, he frowned and asked.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, why did you put this puppet talisman on us?"
When Dan Yangzi and the others heard this, their faces darkened.
"I told Master Huai Yang, the guardian of the formation, that in order to secure the formation, I went out to look for a few suitable puppet ghostly beings. That's why I came here. If I don't use this as an excuse, how can I reasonably bring you all back? "Yu Lu explained unhurriedly.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"Let me try first," Lu Huaming said.
After saying that, he picked up a Puppet Talisman from Yu Lu's hand and stuck it on his chest.
The Puppet Spell Book lit up, and a layer of green light spread out, wrapping him inside. His body immediately stiffened, and he was unable to move.
However, his Divine Sense and thoughts were not affected and could operate on their own.
Yu Lu formed a seal with one hand and chanted a few words softly. The blue light on Lu Huaming's body didn't dissipate, but he could move on his own.
"What is going on?" Lu Huaming asked.
"None of the people guarding the array are fools. If the fake Puppet Talisman is discovered, the mission will be for naught. So before you start, your Divine Sense can operate on its own, but your body will be controlled by me, no different from a puppet, "Yu Lu said.
"Giving the control of your body to others, forgive me for not being able to accept it." Red Hand Daoist was the first to express his opposition.
"I can't agree to this either," Dan Yangzi also said.
Shen Luo also had some doubts in his heart. If the person controlling the talisman was Lu Huaming, maybe he would agree, but since it wasn't, it was somewhat difficult for him to accept.
After all, no one wanted to put their life and death in the hands of others.
"It's just a Puppet Talisman. If you dare to have bad intentions, I don't mind killing you first." Ge Tianqing sneered and took the talisman from Yu Lu's hand.
"Brother Shen, although this talisman is real, I already know the way to crack it. I will teach it to you later. For now, you should agree to it first. Everything should be based on the mission." At this time, Shen Luo suddenly heard Lu Huaming's voice.
After a little hesitation, he also opened his mouth and said, "Since it is the dark side of the government, and also the secret signal with Lu Huaming, we have no reason to doubt anything. If we don't carry out the mission first, then I think we really don't need to do this mission."
After that, Shen Luo also took a talisman and held it in the palm of his hand.
When Yu Lu saw this, his eyebrows slightly bent, and for the first time, he showed a slight smile in front of several people.
Dan Yangzi and Red Hand Daoist looked at each other, and they seemed to have a conversation with each other in their hearts. Then, they took the Puppet Talisman and pasted it on their chests.
After everyone pasted the talisman, Yu Lu took out a palm-sized copper bell from his sleeve. After gently shaking it a few times, he controlled the bodies of Shen Luo and the others to follow him to the backyard.
Out of the back door of this old house, several people quickly came to the door of Zhang Mansion after passing through a street.
In front of the deserted mansion, not to mention living people, even ghosts couldn't be seen. If the cultivators of the Tang Empire came to attack, they would probably ignore this place.
Shen Luo's eyes turned around and only saw two stone lions half the height of a person in front of the imposing mansion. The carving was good and quite powerful.
But a little strange was that the eyes of the lions were wrapped by two red satin, and they couldn't see anything.
"Sure enough, it is used as a ghost house …" Although he didn't study Fengshui, he also knew some secular taboos.
Yu Lu walked forward, but he didn't directly push the door in. Instead, he raised his hand and held the ring in the mouth of the lion on the door, and gently knocked a few times.
"Clap clap"
With two knocks on the door, a yellow halo rippled from the two red lacquer doors and spread to the surroundings.
"There is indeed a restriction on the door." Shen Luo secretly said in his heart.
After waiting for a while, the two doors suddenly creaked and opened inwards.
Immediately afterward, Shen Luo saw a familiar figure standing behind the door. He was wearing a blue robe, and his face was pale as if he was sick. It was Feng Shui who escaped from the sinkhole in Dali Mountain that day.
Shen Luo was slightly stunned and subconsciously wanted to make a move, but his body was controlled by the puppet talisman, so he couldn't move for a while. And he quickly remembered that he was now like a ghost, and his appearance had changed greatly, so the other party might not be able to see through him.
Yu Lu, who was walking at the front, also looked a little surprised and asked, "Who are you?"
"I was ordered to be transferred here to help guard this place. You can call me Feng Shui." Feng Shui cupped his hands and said.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Feng." Yu Lu calmly nodded and said.
Then, Feng Shui stepped aside. Yu Lu shook the copper bell in his hand and led Shen Luo and the others into the mansion.
Although no one usually lived in this Zhang Mansion, the environment inside was much better than the old mansion they had stayed in before. Although there was a lot of dust on the ground and corridors, there were no overgrown weeds. It could be seen that this place was often cleaned in the past.
