Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1056 White rice sprouts
Ye Xi stepped into the bedroom and saw a fat middle-aged man sleeping upright on the bed.

The sister-in-law just now was stroking the man's body and crying loudly.

After a glance, Ye Xi made sure that there was no decoration in the room, so Ye Xi walked over slowly.

"Sister-in-law, how could Daoist Guo die on the bed in broad daylight?" Ye Xi asked.

The woman stopped crying and said: "An hour ago, he was sitting in the yard, but suddenly, he said that some trouble was coming, and he wanted to sleep and hide. But he didn't expect that he would Fell asleep!"

Ye Xi nodded and squinted his eyes to see that Guo Daochang's three souls and seven souls had indeed left his body, leaving only a soulless body.

"Sister-in-law, please step aside and wait for me to take a look." Ye Xi said.

The woman nodded, stood up and stood aside.

Ye Xi stretched out his hand and put his hand on Daoist Guo's pulse, and sure enough it had stopped beating.

"Taoist Priest, do you think this dead ghost in my family can be saved?" Taoist Priest Guo's woman asked with tears streaming down her face.

Ye Xi thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, go and grab a handful of rice for me and I'll show you how to make it."

The woman nodded, turned and walked out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Xi casually poked into Daoist Guo's left and right armpits, and each took out an iron ball.

Holding an iron ball under the armpit compresses the arteries and can cause the pulse to pause.This is a common method used by Jianghu people. How can one deceive Taoist Ye Xi?
"Humph, are you trying to cheat death with me? Do you think you will die with all your debts?" Ye Xi sneered in his heart and said, "A monster like this will be a disaster even if he stays in the world, so let your fakery come true."

After saying that, Ye Xi recited a spell silently in his mind, raised his fingers, and placed a series of quick taps on Daoist Guo's head, sealing his three intercourses and preventing his soul from returning to his body on its own.

When Ye Xi finished doing it, Daochang Guo's woman just grabbed a handful of rice.

Ye Xi took the rice, put it in his palm, muttered something, then divided a handful of rice several times, and sprinkled it on Daoist Guo.

After finishing, Ye Xi turned around and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, I have finished the process. Daozhang Guo's body is placed here. Don't touch him. Just keep an eye on the rice."

"Looking at Mi?" Daochang Guo's woman was puzzled.

"That's right, just look at the rice. If you see the white rice sprouting, it won't take long for Daochang Guo to wake up."

Ye Xi nodded, pointed at Daozhang Guo's body and said, "If you see Daozhang Guo having maggots in his seven orifices, then there is nothing you can do to save him. Let's cremate him."

After saying that, Ye Xi bowed his head and left Daochang Guo's home.

Although Ye Xi left Daochang Guo's home, he did not leave Madi Town.

After he went out, he didn't pause, and immediately rushed to the Sifang intersection in Matsei Town to make some arrangements.

Then, he found an inn and stayed in Horseshoe Town.

Two days later, there was a lot of discussion in Madi Town. It was said that Daoist Guo died of a sudden illness. His body had been lain dormant for two days and maggots were infested in the seven orifices. The body had been incinerated by the river.

After Ye Xi heard this, he went to Daozhang Guo's home to check, and it turned out to be true.

When Daochang Guo died, his wife found it difficult to remain a widow.

Ye Xi found out what she was thinking and spent a lot of money to buy Daochang Guo's house. From then on, he settled here, preaching and teaching disciples, and frightening the ghost king of Heizhugou.

……

After talking about a past incident, Ji Fangyuan picked up the tea cup and motioned for everyone to drink tea.

Ding Ermiao took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "So, the house here used to be the property of Taoist Guo? What kind of improvements were made to the Bagua Stick Shadow Formation later?"

"Originally, this formation was only found at the crossing on the east side of Horseshoe Town. Later, Master Ye Xi, Taoist Master, expanded the formation and planted poplar trees in eight directions of the town. After the poplar trees grew stronger, take out Poplar branches are made into chopsticks and inserted into the incense burner."

Ji Fangyuan continued the introduction and said:
"Once the formation is activated, there will be shadows of sticks all over the sky, emanating from the poplar branches and leaves. In the past, Taoist Master Guo used bone scraps in the incense burner to activate the formation. But our Xianweng sect used rice to activate the formation. .”

Ding Ermiao nodded silently. The Xianweng Sect is also called the Five Dou Rice Sect. Its practice is to open an altar, and rice is often used.At present, the technique of asking rice that is still popular in the Hong Kong government is actually derived from the Taoism of the Xianweng School.

"This Bagua Stick Shadow Formation is indeed powerful. Please tell me, Ji Jiuye, can such an formation be moved?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Seeing how powerful the gossip stick shadow array is, Ding Ermiao is very fond of it.

He secretly thought that if such a formation could be set up in his hometown, he could in turn surround the Hundred Ghost Formation on the ancestral grave and block the gang of old ghosts from attacking the folks in Mu Basin.

Ji Fangyuan slowly shook his head and said: "The formation cannot be moved. If the mountain topography is reasonable, another one can be arranged. But it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people. If it does not last more than 20 years, it will be difficult for the formation to exert its power."

Such a long time?Ding Ermiao smiled wryly in her heart and had no choice but to give up.

"Master Ji Jiu, I'm going to conquer Heizhugou this time. Do you have any good suggestions?" Ding Ermiao returned to the topic, intending to solve the immediate problem first.

"This..." Ji Fangyuan frowned and said, "The way of ghosts is fickle. We can only act according to the opportunity when we reach the Heizhugou area."

Ding Ermiao nodded and could only take one step at a time.

Roosters sang in the distance, it was already early in the morning.Wan Shugao yawned again and again, couldn't lift his eyelids, and sat wobbly at the table.

"Brother Ding, it's getting late, you two should take a rest here. Tomorrow, I will take my two apprentices to accompany you into the mountains." Ji Fangyuan stood up and said.

Ding Ermiao stood up, nodded and said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful. Sorry to bother you."

"Wherever, please come with me." Ji Fangyuan extended his hand and invited Wan Shugao and Ding Ermiao into the guest room.

Wan Shugao was extremely sleepy, fell asleep as soon as his body touched the bed, snoring loudly.

Ding Ermiao, however, was not sleepy at all. She opened the window and meditated by the window, talking about the old and absorbing the new, and moving around the world.

After the rooster crows three times, Ding Ermiao opens his eyes and lies down on the bed to rest.

Before daybreak, Hei Wuchang floated in from the window and shouted in Ding Ermiao's ear: "Generalissimo, get up quickly!"

Ding Ermiao opened his eyes and asked lazily: "What, did the Ghost King of Heizhugou come to the door?"

Hei Wuchang was very happy and said: "Generalissimo, we should be the ones to knock on the door, right?"

"What time is it? Come on, hurry up! No wonder people tell you to hurry up for free!" Ding Ermiao complained, got up, kicked Wan Shugao awake, and walked outside to wash up together.

Ji Fangyuan and his disciples had already got up, and everything was ready.

The clever Liu Ran has already prepared breakfast, and is waiting to set off for Heizhugou after the meal.
