The demon was screaming and struggling more and more. The three pieces of peach wood nailed to it were pushed out halfway in an instant. The part that was pushed out was as black as ink. Only when you look closely can you find that it is a thick layer of black gas that lingers.
But at this moment, Zhang Daoxuan hesitated and frowned, saying, "I have heard of this method by chance and know a little about it. It is not very good. Apart from this, is there no other way?"
"The so-called immortal body is the one that is difficult to be destroyed by heaven and buried by earth. If you don't do it thoroughly, there will be endless troubles!"
Without thinking, I said directly, "Besides this, there is no other way!"
I saw a trace of hesitation and reluctance in Zhang Daoxuan's eyes, and I roughly understood what he was thinking.
The reason why things got to this point was because of greed. Cheng Erdan was not a bad person when he was alive. He could even be said to be an innocent victim. Although he became a fierce ghost after his death, he did not succeed in killing people. It was really too extreme to use the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Tomb to deal with the situation.
Because this method is very poisonous and it is against the will of heaven.
When my father was explaining the "Ten Thousand Burials Sutra" to me, he mentioned this method and warned me very seriously that I should try not to use this vicious layout unless it was absolutely necessary.
This method is tantamount to torture. It requires cutting off the limbs, punishing the five internal organs, and using the Feng Shui pulse eye to wipe them out completely. It is not just as simple as the soul flying away, but slowly torturing until there is nothing left. The pain is unimaginable!
Puff!
At this time, the killer demon finally broke free, and the peach wood nailed to its chest flew out directly. It screamed "Wow", and used its hands and feet to pounce on me with its teeth and claws bared, as if it hated me for bringing it out. Its anger was so frightening that even the peach wood between its eyebrows was broken. Fortunately, the peach wood on its lower abdomen was not broken free, and it was clamped in time. Even so, when it was closest to me, its grim face was almost touching my face.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei's father roared and pounced on the demon. The old man was also very fierce, with a desperate posture. He was not afraid of this old opponent at all. He hugged the demon and let the demon bite hard on his shoulder. He ignored it and roared: "Sir, please subdue it quickly!"
I didn't care about Zhang Daoxuan's emotions. I was almost scared to death just now. I didn't want to stay here for a moment. While retreating quickly, I loudly told Zhang Daoxuan the key to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Tomb.
This kind of game is actually not difficult. It uses the earth veins and the five elements to suppress the evil demon.
The first thing to do is to cut off all the hands and feet of the evil demon. This is the so-called cutting off the four limbs. Bury it in four places in the east, west, south and north, and circle out an area. It is the first step in the evil suppression game, called dividing the land into prisons.
Then, we need to find the eight gates of this area accurately. The so-called eight gates refer to the eight gates of Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Si, Jing, Shang, Du, and Jing mentioned in Qimen Dunjia.
After that, it is time to punish the five internal organs. The five internal organs of the evil demon, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, are dissected out, and the five elements are used to suppress them under the five gates of Xiu, Jing, Si, Jing, and Du.
Among them, the Shang gate belongs to wood, wood overcomes earth, and the spleen among the five internal organs belongs to earth, so the spleen should be suppressed under the Shang gate, and so on, and the five internal organs are buried.
Finally, cut off its head and disperse its spiritual wisdom, and the eight-gate golden lock tomb is completed. The five internal organs of the evil demon will be forever restrained by the earth veins and constantly rubbed away. Over time, they will naturally disappear, because the five internal organs of the demon are the place where the ghost nature and evil spirit are located. Only by rubbing away the five internal organs can the demon be considered finished!
Zhang Daoxuan was still hesitant, but after the old man pounced on him, he had no choice but to do it.
This is a ruthless guy. Once he made up his mind, he acted calmly and without shaking his hands. He swung the ancient sword and cut wherever I said. He was very precise. In the blink of an eye, he tore the demon into pieces. In the end, he chopped off the head with a "poof". The bones rolled all over the ground. Although it was still screaming and roaring, it could not cause any trouble.
Then, he told Zhang Xinya and Zhang Wei the exact location and asked them to wrap the chopped off limbs with red cloth and bury them.
The site is not far away. This community is good!
There are many people living here, and the popularity and yang energy are strong. This demon has just become powerful, which is enough to bury it. Moreover, the location is also easy to find, because the layout of this community is like a Bagua plate from a bird's-eye view. There is no need to use a Feng Shui compass to set the direction and divide the gold. The positions of the eight gates are clear. The rest gate is in the Kan Palace in the north, just go north, and the death gate is in the Kun Palace in the southwest, just go southwest. There is nothing easier to find than this. Anyone who knows a little about Qimen Dunjia knows that Zhang Daoxuan doesn't need to take action at all. Zhang Xinya and others can do it for me.
Originally, I was going to go with Zhang Xinya and others, but was stopped by Zhang Daoxuan.
In the night, he held the ancient sword in his hand, his clothes fluttered, his black hair danced, and his deep eyes looked at me steadily. He was very extraordinary, like a banished immortal, with a kind of worldly charm.
However, it was this person who just chopped the demon like cutting melons and vegetables. Although it was no longer a human, it was a human-shaped thing after all, which had the effect of killing a chicken to scare the monkey.
My scalp was numb when he looked at me, and I stammered, "Senior... is there anything else?"
Zhang Daoxuan kicked the demon's head with a "puff", and then thrust the ancient sword in front of me with a "clang", saying, "You come and kill it!"
The demon was not dead yet, and looked at me with two scarlet eyes, with the corners of his mouth raised, grinning.
I was scared on the spot. Although I have experienced many weird things in the past two days, it is still a bit beyond my psychological endurance to take action. My hands were cramping like chicken claws. I laughed and said, "Senior, there is no need to play such a thrilling game, right? I think it's better to forget it. You come..."
"If my action is useful, why do you need to do it?"
Zhang Daoxuan said expressionlessly, "The last step is the finishing touch. Only when this step is completed can the game be considered complete. We use the method of the ceremonial officer, and only you, the ceremonial officer, can complete this step!"
He probably saw that I was really scared, so he finally slowed down his tone and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will help you."
His language seemed to have a strange magic. It was just a few ordinary words, but when he said them, the fear was inexplicably diluted a lot, at least my hands no longer cramped.
I took a look at the head of the demon, who was baring his teeth at me. I made up my mind and pulled out the ancient sword in front of me and stabbed forward fiercely.
The sword stabbed the forehead of the demon accurately, but instead of piercing its head, it made a sound of metal clashing, which made my palm numb.
"Hehehe..."
The demon laughed sinisterly. It only had a head left, but its ferocity was not reduced at all. It had the intention of breaking the jar and throwing it away. There was a mockery on its face, as if it was laughing at my incompetence.
I was unwilling to give up. The sword was against his forehead. I tried several times but couldn't pierce it.
Zhang Daoxuan came behind me silently, and suddenly slapped out a palm, hitting me hard on the lower back!
The palm was so powerful that I staggered and fell forward. Strangely, I didn't feel any pain, but my lower abdomen felt hot. Then, the sword pierced into the head of the demon without any resistance.
The mockery on its face froze instantly, and only a pair of eyes full of resentment stared at me. After a moment, it turned into a black gas and rushed directly to my forehead.
"Bold!"
Zhang Daoxuan suddenly became furious and shouted. He stepped over me and stepped forward. He slapped out with a palm, trying to block the black gas. Unfortunately, it was too slow. Everything happened too suddenly. The black gas hit my forehead and then disappeared.
"What's going on?"
I touched my forehead and didn't feel anything unusual. I was a little surprised and doubtful for a while.
"I see."
Zhang Daoxuan looked solemn, staring at my forehead again and again, and then said: "We'll talk about it later."
At this time, the old man came forward tremblingly. He was weak and there was a large piece missing from his shoulder, which was eaten by the demon. He turned a blind eye to it, tidied himself up, and then knelt down in front of me and Zhang Daoxuan, trembling: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, my grandson... is safe!"
He was too old and had a miserable life. Seeing him about to kowtow, I couldn't bear it and went up to help him, but was stopped by Zhang Daoxuan.
Zhang Daoxuan just watched the old man kowtow one after another in front of him. After kowtowed ten times, he raised his hand to help the old man up, and smiled rarely, saying: "This is perfect, otherwise I really don't know how to resolve this cause and effect."
There was a mystery in his words. I think this may also belong to some kind of "rule".
"Sir, you have helped me so much. How dare I let you bear this?"
The old man shook his head. When he raised his head, tears flowed down his cheeks. However, they were tears of blood, which made him feel inexplicably sad. However, he laughed heartily: "If there are no evil ghosts who are thinking about my grandson, I will have no regrets. Why should I be afraid of all kinds of karma? I will go now."
After he finished speaking, he turned into a piece of light rain, and finally calmed down in the soil.
Witnessing this scene, I felt a little sad. I couldn't help asking Zhang Daoxuan, "Senior, is he...dead?"
"You can say he is gone. He is a guardian god. It was only because his grandson was disturbed by evil spirits that he could only appear briefly to resolve the threat. He will eventually return to his original state. No one, ghosts or gods will be seen. From then on, he will face eternal darkness and loneliness alone, standing in desolation and looking at his loved ones."
Zhang Daoxuan sighed and said, "In the future, if you miraculously survive in a situation where you are doomed to die, don't be anxious to celebrate, and don't be busy thanking God. Don't forget to turn around and kowtow respectfully to the back, because it may be that someone who loves you has blocked the death for you. He gave up everything and turned into a spirit just to protect you."
When he mentioned this, he seemed to think of something, and his mood was a little low, and he stopped talking.
Not long after, Zhang Xinya and Zhang Wei came back and buried the remains of the demon.
This matter has come to an end. However, after this incident, Zhang Daoxuan disliked Zhang Wei and his wife. No matter how they tried to keep him or thank him, he rejected them all and only accepted one yuan from them as a reward.
When I left, it was already dawn. I experienced a painful transformation in the bushes of the community. This time it was not like when I became a paper man. It was not cold at all, but hot, very hot. In the end, my whole body was burning, as if it was on fire. It was much more painful than becoming a paper man. I lay in the bushes and cried. Fortunately, the process was relatively fast and did not attract the attention of others.
After I became a human again, there was a light black mark on my forehead, as if I had been punched by someone.
Zhang Xinya was the first to notice the abnormality. She was just curious and said it. Then I immediately thought of the black air that got into my forehead after the demon was killed. After thinking about it, I felt uneasy. Finally, I couldn't help it and asked about it in the car.
"Curse seal!"
Zhang Daoxuan sighed and said, "This matter is not over yet. If I am not mistaken, Zhang Wei...will not live long!"
