Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1023 The only hope
There are some things that Ji Xiaoxiao can't act too anxious about, and it's hard to ask Wu Zhanzhan.

But Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan have a much better relationship, so they always take the initiative to ask.

"The formation is actually very simple, it's just a three-flower gathering formation. Those Taoist priests only need to meditate and chant sutras, and don't need to do anything else." Wu Zhanzhan explained and said:
"And I will gather the Tao Qi of hundreds of people in the dojo and complete it in one fell swoop...the soul will leave the body, break into the underworld directly, and bring out the second seedling."

Gu Qinglan was puzzled and asked: "The soul leaves the body? Then...is it different from Er Miao's, where the soul leaves the body and goes to the underworld?"

Wu Zhanzhan smiled and said, "That's a big difference."

"I don't quite understand. Can you explain it in detail?" Ji Xiaoxiao frowned and asked.

"When a soul goes to the underworld, ordinary mages can do it. But such a soul can only walk in the underworld. You often see Er Miao go to the underworld, but you don't see his soul leaving the body and walking in the underworld, right?" Wu Zhanzhan asked road.

"No." Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan looked at each other, confirmed, and shook their heads together.

"That's it. When the soul leaves the body, it can walk at will regardless of the world of yin and yang. As long as I want to, I can travel thousands of miles in an instant. Moreover, with the blessing of the Three Flowers Gathering Formation, that kind of power is a hundred times more powerful than walking in the underworld. 's soul."

Wu Zhanzhan stood up and said confidently: "So, I think I can bring Ermiao out. The ghost soldiers and generals in the underworld can't stop me."

"I see... But sometimes, some people's souls are still floating in the world before they are completely dead. What's going on?" Gu Qinglan still didn't quite understand and asked.

"So that kind of soul has no cultivation and can be summoned instantly with a few simple incantations. That's what Maoshan's spiritualism is." Wu Zhanzhan said.

Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked: "Zhanzhan, if you forcefully break into the underworld and take Ermiao away, will Pluto be furious and come to the human world to hunt you down? This Three Flowers Gathering Formation is so troublesome, you can't be there all the time , let’s ask those Taoist priests to set up formations and chant sutras, right?”

"This... I can't control much for the time being. When I rescue Ermiao, everyone will be in Xuyunqiao. As long as we don't go out and walk around, the underworld may not be able to do anything to us." Wu Zhanzhan said thoughtfully:

"Then, go and beg Longhu Mountain to see if you can say something nice, and the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter. Of course, if Ermiao doesn't accept the loss, the underworld won't dare to do anything. Longhu Mountain will give it to us. The one who administers justice.”

Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan looked at each other, feeling a little relieved.

After drinking a cup of tea, the boy came from the front hall and reported to Wu Zhanzhan that several Taoist priests in charge of the Three Palaces and Five Temples had arrived, and Li Qingdong was entertaining guests.

"You guys sit down for a moment while I go to the front to discuss matters." Wu Zhanzhan nodded to Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan, got up and went to the front hall.

Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao thanked each other for their hard work and stood up to see each other off.

"Xiaoxiao, why do I always feel that Wu Zhanzhan is a little rash in doing this?"

After Wu Zhanzhan left, Gu Qinglan looked at Ji Xiaoxiao and expressed her worries, saying: "The power of the underworld is so powerful, can the Maoshan faction really fight against it?"

"But other than that, is there any way to save Ermiao?" Ji Xiaoxiao also sighed and said, "Wu Zhanzhan is our only hope here."

Gu Qinglan also sighed and said: "I hope Wu Zhanzhan's trip goes well and he rescues Ermiao. Let's talk about the rest later."

Xuyun looked at the front hall, and tea smoke curled up.

The Taoist priest in charge of the Three Palaces and Five Temples, as well as several directors of the Taoist Academy, have all arrived.

Most of them are old men with gray hair and long beards.

"Fellow Taoist priests, recently the soul of Ding Ermiao, the second descendant of Xuyunquan, has been detained in the underworld. It has been two months and has not been released. I believe you have heard about it, right?" Wu Zhanzhan stood up and formed a series of hand seals. A gift.

"I heard it, I heard it..." All the veterans nodded.

"For this matter, I also went to the underworld and asked to see Pluto. But... Pluto didn't see me at all." Wu Zhanzhan sighed and said:

"For thousands of years, it seems that the Maoshan Sect has never suffered such neglect. The ghost-hunting mage was captured by ghosts, and his request to see Hades was even rejected. I couldn't even ask for a clear explanation."

An old Taoist with a white beard stood up and said: "Xu Yunquan has always been responsible for the exchanges between the Maoshan Sect and the underworld. Regarding the matter of ghosts and the underworld, we... are actually laymen."

"Yes, to catch ghosts and eliminate demons and maintain the reputation of the Maoshan sect, Xu Yunquan is naturally duty-bound." Wu Zhanzhan nodded and said: "But this time, Xu Yunquan needs the strong support of the other three palaces and four temples. Please keep this in mind. The Maoshan people are here to lend a helping hand.”

Originally, the Taoists on Maoshan Mountain were divided into three palaces and five temples, but Xuyunquan was originally among the five temples, so Wu Zhanzhan only said three palaces and four temples.

The old Taoists looked at each other, and finally the white-bearded one asked: "I don't know, how can we help?"

"It's very simple. Everyone can meditate and chant sutras in the area I have divided." Wu Zhanzhan said.

"What sutra to recite?" the old Taoist asked again.

"Tao Te Ching." Wu Zhanzhan replied.

"How many days do you need to recite sutras?" the old Taoist asked again.

Wu Zhanzhan held out three fingers: "Three days in total."

"So how many people are needed?"

"This formation is a three-flower gathering formation. Every three people form a group. Every three groups form a small formation. Every three small formations form a central formation. Then three central formations form a A big formation.”

Wu Zhanzhan said slowly: "So, each large formation requires 81 people. And such a large formation requires a total of nine. In other words, I need 720 nine people to help me this time."

The veterans looked at each other and took a breath at the same time.

There are only a thousand or so Taoist priests in total on Maoshan Mountain. This is like an overwhelming number of Taoist priests.

Wu Zhanzhan looked at everyone's faces and waited quietly.

Li Qingdong was trimming his beard, and the small eyes behind his lenses were swiping around.

After a long time, a Taoist priest with a lower seniority stood up, formed his mudra, looked at Wu Zhanzhan and said:
"Zhenren Wu, I'm afraid there will be difficulties if we need such a large number of people. In Maoshan Taoist Temple, there are a total of 300 Shangqing disciples registered, and many of them are wandering around. At present, the number of disciples staying in Maoshan may be less than [-] The number. This..."

"Because of the difficulty in this matter, I invited all the priests to discuss it." Wu Zhanzhan saluted again.

A group of old people looked at each other in silence, each making his own plans.

"Dear Taoist priests, the Maoshan people are all one family. They have been sincerely united since ancient times. There is no distinction between the three palaces and the five views."

Li Qingdong stood up. After the ceremony, Lang Lang said:
"Today Xu Yunquan's disciple has his soul imprisoned. If you can't help, wouldn't it make Xu Yunquan's heart cold and make outsiders laugh?"

"It is of course our duty to help Xuyunquan. However, it is the peak of spring tourism right now. I am afraid that the manpower cannot be allocated." The leader of Yuchen Guanqian said:

"If possible, you might as well wait a little longer. It would be best for everyone to recall the disciples who are wandering abroad. What do you think?"
