Chapter 238 Legal Affairs

The night is as cool as water, and there is no moon and wind. The sky is cloudy, and you can't even see any starlight. Occasionally, a small wind sweeps over the exposed skin, and you can't control a layer of goose bumps.

Ji Ping slowly walked into the Taoist temple. The door was not locked, but the backyard door was tightly closed.

He hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and knocked on the door. Originally, he faced the thin wooden door and kicked it away, but he didn't want to alarm anyone.

Not long after, the door was divided around, and Wang Hai appeared in the door with his arms rubbing each other.

Seeing Ji Ping outside, Wang Hai said in surprise, "Why is it you? What about the two of them? He said he was looking for you.

Ji Ping quietly squeezed over him and said casually, "I didn't see them. It should be a differing."

Wang Hai frowned and asked, "Will you come back alone?" Didn't you say you went to find the person in charge of the gas station surnamed Lu and found it?"

Ji Ping didn't look back and said, "It's missing. It's likely that something has happened. Is the old Taoist priest there?"

Wang Hai followed him and said, "I'm preparing for a ceremony."

Without Wang Hai's explanation, Ji Ping has seen that the backyard is very different from before. There is a long table in the originally empty courtyard, covered with yellow cloth with charms on it, and a lot of things on the table. Ji Ping took a look and it is quite ordinary. There are several magic weapons such as Yu Ruyi, Tianpeng ruler, Zhentan wood, magic sword, etc., and there are two on both sides of the table. A candle with the thickness of the baby's arm can be seen that each candle has a golden charm, which is obviously not an ordinary item.

The courtyard is filled with a vague fragrance. Ji Ping smells a little headache and can't tell what fragrance it is. It's a bit like sandalwood. I don't know if it emanates after the candle is lit.

However, he soon found that it was the smell of the three incense burning in Zhang Xiaohui's hand on the other side. The fragrance was about the thickness of his little finger and an arm long, which surprised Ji Ping. It seemed that the old Taoist priest had a lot of powerful props in his hand.

But Ji Ping is not too worried about these. As the saying goes: the Tao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. To some extent, the Taoist priest is like the police. He can only enter the working state after the incident, which results in most cases being in a passive state, which can only be solved, cannot be prevented, and cannot know what the opponent has. The size of ability.

Ji Ping is not going to do anything at this time. Anyway, as long as he takes action at the right time, he can get through tonight smoothly. At this time, he needs to make them believe in himself.

Wang Hai took a few steps and pressed a simple switch. Suddenly, the courtyard was bright. It was estimated that there was the credit of Wang Hai. Several wires were pulled in the middle of the whole yard, and the light bulbs on it were suddenly lit up. The backyard could be described as bright lights.

At this time, Ji Ping found another situation. The strange house surrounded by the "nine-turn suppression soul array" was already covered with a layer of glutinous rice, and the old Taoist priest was putting a jar of glutinous rice out of the room.

Ji Ping hurried over to help him move out and put it next to the long table. The old Taoist priest took a breath and asked about other people's situation. Ji Ping told the old Taoist priest again as he had just said.

Hearing that Feng Tian and Kuo Feifan had lost contact, the old Taoist priest couldn't help frowning and showing a worried look on his face. Ji Ping advised him to rest assured that the two were very powerful and would not be life-threatening.

The old Taoist priest also nodded helplessly and said, "Now the situation is a little troublesome. Let's start first and try our best to suppress the ability to emit the array."

"How to do it?" Ji Ping asked.

The old Taoist priest pointed to the long table: "I'm the main one. You and Wang Hai are on both sides. Xiao Zhang are behind. If Fengtian were there, they could have been arrayed. Now I can only try. Although Xiao Zhang is a woman, I use burning incense to cover the natural yin qi, which can block it for a while."

Ji Ping raised his eyebrows and didn't expect that the three incense sticks in Zhang Xiaohui's hand were still so effective. It seems that the old Taoist priest has also made a lot of inventory in hand over the years.

In fact, the old Taoist priest's so-called casting of spells does not require Ji Ping and Wang Hai, let alone Zhang Xiaohui, but the three of them serve as guardians.

However, obviously, the arrangement has not been completed. The old Taoist priest laid the gossip with candles on the ground and lit them one by one. He did not light candles with an ordinary lighter, but took the fire from a bright lamp in the wing room. It is said that this is the source of fire obtained from the midday sun.

And the magic thing that the Taoist priest was going to do was not a big scene ceremony, but he put on the seven-star crown, put on the gossip clothes of the nine palaces, and climbed on the clouds, and let Wang Hai and Ji Ping stand three feet behind him on both sides, holding a flag with a treasure cover in his hand, while Zhang Xiaohui stood in the same line with him seven feet away, and the four people were like a diamond. Standing in front of the room without doors and windows.

At this time, the long table was also completely arranged. In fact, the long table was called the altar in the ceremony, but the old Taoist priest only chose one of them, which was only for him to cast spells, so he only placed the items he needed. There was an incense burner between the two candlesticks, next to incense tubes and vases, followed by incense, flower arrangements and lighting. After that, Put a bowl of rootless water and offering fruit.

There should have been various percussion instruments, but because of the number of people, the old Taoist priest did not use these, and it was still just those few magic weapons.

Ji Ping still remained calm, but looked on coldly. He didn't know much about such rituals, but he knew that the opponent the old Taoist priest was going to meet. It was not very likely that he wanted to suppress the "nine-turn soul array" and the things in the array with these things.

He looked up at the sky. The thick dark clouds before seemed to be gradually thinning, and it was almost time. Now everything is basically ready, and he only owes him an east wind.

He looked back at Zhang Xiaohui, who was holding incense, and secretly had an idea in his heart, thinking that this weakness could be used.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest began to cast spells first. He reached out to take the mahogany demon-killing sword, and the other hand bent his finger and flicked it. In time, a stone wrapped in yellow paper shot out and hit the corner of the room.

Ji Ping was suddenly shocked, his eyes were wide open, and his pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank. Only then did he notice that there was a small copper clock hanging on each of the two eaves facing them, because he had not paid attention to the situation of the house before, and the color of the clock was almost similar to that of the eaves. Insufficient light, It has been mixed, so he just didn't see it.

Now that I see two hanging, I think that there should be a copper bell hanging on each of the four corners of the eaves. Although Ji Ping does not know what this clock is, the old Taoist priest's action is extremely clean and neat. Obviously, this has been prepared for a long time. What is the use of starting move? Will it cause harm to the things in the house? He still I'm a little worried.

After the stone hit the copper bell, the sound of hitting the bell did not stop, but continued. What's more surprising is that when the bell rings, the other corner of the bell also makes a "dang" sound as if it were hit, followed by the third and fourth After the four-cornered bronze bell was struck, as if it had been infected, it began to ring.

When the four bells rang completely, the old Taoist priest began to read words in his mouth, and the magic sword in his hand drew one incomprehensible symbol after another in the air, which seemed to be like a random painting, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a rule to speak, and each spell drawn with the sword is lightly formed in the air, like fog. Together, they flew to the house one by one.

If the wind is there, it will definitely shout: "Draw the symbol from the air."

Of course, this is not a particularly profound ability, but there are not many mages who can use this hand today, and the spells played by the old Taoist priest belong to the "town" formula. The intention is to suppress the "nine-turn soul suppression array" that has been launched, and the bronze bells, glutinous rice and candles are placed into The gossip is to prevent the power emitted by the array in the house from rushing out of the backyard, which will easily affect other ordinary people in the town.

When the first spell hit into the wall of the house, a dark gray smoke burst out from the hole where the tiles were removed from the roof, but it didn't look like ordinary smoke. It did not rise like smoke and continued to rise into the air. Instead, it turned around and lay on the roof and followed the roof. It stretched down like a long snake that couldn't see its tail, sliding down the wall of the house to the ground.

But the ground is full of glutinous rice, and the gray smoke is like seeing a nemesis. It only turns left and right on the ground under the wall, but can't find the passage through the glutinous rice circle.

The face on Ji Ping's face couldn't help beating a few times. He was wondering whether to take action at this time. The snake-like gray smoke suddenly stopped jumping, and then, as if it was going to eat people. The front part of the fog hovered up and lifted away from the ground, like a ready snake's head, but it did not rush over. The intention is to keep rising.

At the same time, a dark cyan smoke gushed out of the roof hole, floated straight to the gray smoke, and intersected with it, intertwined like a twist, hovering up, and the two smokes were intertwined, bringing a gust of wind in shape, and a small whirlwind gradually formed, unexpectedly gaining momentum. Not only was the glutinous rice spread on the ground gradually dispersed by the wind, but also the bells in the corner of the room were covered by the faint whining wind.

The old Taoist priest's face was awe-boding, and the charm drawn by the magic sword in his hand immediately changed, and he shouted, "Xiao Zhang, soul bell."

As soon as the voice came out, Zhang Xiaohui was stunned, and then suddenly said "Oh", hurriedly took off a copper bell from behind his waist and shook it randomly.

With the sound of the copper bell, I saw the old Taoist priest walking around the long table in a strange way while dancing the sword. One by one, the red charms were formed under the shaking tip of the sword in the air and flew towards the whirlwind.

Seeing that the spells fell into the wind, the two already entangled smoke suddenly stagnated after the spell hit. As the spells hit one by one, the whirlwind could not continue to expand, and it seemed that they could soon weaken.

Wang Hai has been staring at the old Taoist priest's every move. Just now, he still looked nervous. Now when he sees that he has a winning face, he can't help but breathe and raises his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his face.

Ji Ping frowned. He looked at Zhang Xiaohui coldly, and there was a flash in his heart. Suddenly, he shouted "Ouch", and his feet suddenly staggered and stumbled towards Zhang Xiaohui and rushed straight over.
