Knife splashing

Chapter 579 Bloody Virgin Mary

The footsteps faded away, leaving only darkness.

Feeling that the aura of the others had completely disappeared, Taoist Liuyun sighed slightly, and then his eyes became calm. He picked up the magic sword and said self-deprecatingly:

"Being cautious for half your life, you become confused when you are old..."

After saying this, he held the magic sword and chanted the spell continuously.

He no longer cared about life or death, he only wanted to maintain the altar so that Wang Yushi and his men could successfully break out.

The longer you hold on, the greater your chances.

In the night sky, the strange singing voice is still echoing.

The clanging sound of gongs and drums made people feel upset.

Suddenly, the sound of Yinluo stopped, and everything returned to dead silence.

Taoist Liuyun was not happy but shocked. He felt a chill on his back and looked quickly towards the altar in front of him.

Wow!
Inside the wooden bowl, grains were gushing out like a fountain.

Soon, other magical instruments also began to vibrate.

This is a symbol of the destruction of the altar.

"Don't even think about it, you evil creature!"

Taoist priest Liuyun gritted his teeth, stepped hard on the ground, then took out the red rope and pulled it hard on his palm.

In an instant, the red rope cut through the palm and blood flowed out.

The old Taoist didn't care and continued to make hand gestures while tying knots with the red rope, wrapping it around the magic circle at a very fast speed.

The method of using knots to ward off evil spirits has been passed down since ancient times and there are many types of it.

This kind of knot is specially used to stabilize the altar.

But obviously, the effect is not good.

The surrounding darkness pressed inward like a wall. The tables and chairs on the altar shook continuously and looked like they could collapse at any moment.

Suddenly, the surrounding black fog condensed into corpse oil.

A stench of corpse rushed into my nose.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
All the blood-stained red ropes broke.

"not good!"

Taoist Master Liuyun suddenly looked up.

But in the darkness, green flames flickered, dimly illuminating three figures, and a cold breath hit me in the face.

After getting closer, his figure finally appeared.

They are three paper puppets that are half the height of a person.

There are three paper figures, each with different appearances and specifications.

One, covered with "old disciple paper" used for funerals in eastern Sichuan, with its surface soaked in Youyang old corpse oil, and a torn page of "Yin Fu Ke Yi" pasted upside down on the front, with the words "Seven Killing Generals" written on it...

A figure as thin as a cicada's wing, like a kite, with a straw support connected with blood-stained coffin nails, and four words "Gan Lang General" were also written on his body...

The last one is even more bizarre. It is made of layers of paper money stacked together and has "Po Jun General" written on it...

"General Sanyin!"

When Taoist Liuyun saw this, his scalp suddenly went numb.

The art of paper puppetry is not uncommon in Taoism.

But these three in front of us are extraordinary.

He was still young when the "Ghost Troupe" was wreaking havoc in the world. Although he had no direct contact with them, he had heard many rumors.

This underworld stage can perform a variety of magic, and the Yin Nuo opera is the most famous one among them.

Every Yin Nuo opera can invite different evil spirits.

For example, singing "Mulian Saves His Mother" in reverse can attract the "Mother of Blood". All Yin Nuo operas have the Three Yin Generals to maintain order.

"Get out! Evil demons, retreat!"

Taoist priest Liuyun roared, bit his fingertips, quickly made hand gestures, and slashed along the magic sword with force.

The blazing evil energy suddenly gathered together.

The old Taoist felt hot all over and blood was flowing from his nostrils.

This is a desperate method that can temporarily stimulate the body's yang energy and blood essence, bursting out powerful combat power, but it will completely destroy the foundation and shatter the spirit.

But at this point, he no longer cares about his life.

Whoosh!
The old Taoist threw away his robe, jumped up, jumped over the altar, made a hand gesture with his left hand, and made a sword flower with his right hand.

The tip of the sword picked up the candlelight on the altar and swung it away instantly.

Call ~
The wind howled and a fire dragon slashed along the sword blade.

Almost instantly, the paper puppet of "General Pojun" was ignited by the fire, crackling and emitting thick, foul-smelling smoke.

After taking two steps, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Without saying a word, the old Taoist turned around, took out a Su Qin sword, picked up another candle flame, turned into a fire dragon and swung it out.

boom!
There was another muffled sound, and the paper figure of "Seven Killing Generals" was also set on fire.

But this paper man was a little different. As it was soaked in corpse oil, it was not completely burned. It rushed towards us in an instant, emitting billowing black smoke and the stench of corpse.

Bang!
The old Taoist was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground. He stumbled backwards and even crashed the altar behind him into pieces. All kinds of offerings and instruments rolled all over the floor.

The stench of the corpse wrapped in flames directly ignited his hair and beard.

"die!"

The old Taoist didn't care about the pain, and suddenly stabbed the paper man's head with the wooden sword in his hand. He turned over like a vicious python and cut off the paper man's head.

But the altar was destroyed after all.

Without the protection of the altar, strong winds blew around again, black fog rolled in, and the evil wind from the ground rushed straight to the head.

Once a cultivator is infected by this "Bi Feng", he will be disturbed, feel dizzy and have difficulty in performing magic.

Not only that, the paper man of "General Tan Lang" also came roaring.

The paper figure was as thin as a cicada's wing and stuck directly behind him.

The old Taoist could feel his body beginning to stiffen, and something seemed to be blowing air next to his ears. He felt groggy and seemed about to fall asleep at any moment.

“Hahaha… let’s die together!”

Taoist priest Liuyun was also a little crazy. He took out the fire starter from his waist and blew it while running behind him.

This is their final plan.

If you really can't escape, just ignite the gunpowder and die together.

But after running a few steps in a daze, the old Taoist found that it was dark all around him, and the gunpowder depot that was originally so close to him was nowhere to be found.

"The spell of bewitching..."

The old Taoist looked unwilling and fell to the ground.

My consciousness seemed to have left my body, and my vision quickly turned black, and I lost consciousness...

………………

Just as the Taoist was fighting for his life, something strange happened outside.

Li Yan and others followed the Big Dipper in the darkness and soon arrived at the gate of the government office. They kicked it open and rushed out.

At the same time, darkness spread rapidly.

Taoist priest Liuyun was arrogant and fell into a fatal disaster, but he guessed one thing correctly.

This formation is one where the formation follows the person.

When Li Yan and others came out, the range of the formation also expanded.

"Look!"

The soldiers setting up checkpoints outside immediately noticed something was wrong.

The thick black fog originally surrounded the entire Chengdu government office, but now, the black fog is spreading outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because of the black fog, they couldn't see anything.

The captain of the guard was a shrewd man. He immediately gave the order, "Aim at the gate and fire!"

boom! boom! boom!
The soldiers didn't waste any time and pulled the trigger.

At the same time, Li Yan and his team also arrived.

Although those soldiers fired indiscriminately, two shots hit the target. The powerful magic fire guns directly shot through the gate.

"what--!"

A Bagua Sect disciple was unable to dodge and was shot in the chest.

Needless to say, the gate of the government office was made of the best jujube wood and was three fingers thick. After the bullet from the magic gun penetrated it, its power was greatly reduced.

But even so, a bloody hole opened up in the disciple's chest, blood foamed from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with despair. He soon died. "Pillar!"

Dong Cunshan pulled Censor Wang away, his eyes full of anger.

Logically speaking, when they reach here, other Bagua Sect disciples will be able to climb over the wall and charge from other directions.

However, they were still shrouded in the Netherworld Stage Formation.

If you leave the range of the seven Taoists' flags, you will be immediately blown away by the wind and faint, and you will not be able to fight back.

"Rush out after three breaths!"

Li Yan gave a low shout and left the range of the magic flag directly.

He was prepared this time, with the dragon and snake guardians, the thousand thoughts arm guard on his left arm, and the rustling of copper coins, resisting the invasion of evil winds.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan exerted force on his feet, stepped on the wall next to him, flew into the air, and jumped onto the street.

But at the same time, black fog also spread around.

This situation really surprised Li Yan.

He thought he could break out of the formation, but unexpectedly he was still trapped. This formation should be combined with spells, and all the people in the government office have been marked.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it.

After jumping down from the wall, his hidden strength burst out, and with a tap of his toes, he jumped directly into the middle of the garrison soldiers like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Clang clang!
Two soul-breaking flying knives flew up and down, killing four people in an instant.

Not only that, those soldiers were also dragged into the formation by him. Evil winds rose from the soles of their feet, and they soon fainted and fell to the ground.

In the eyes of the remaining garrison soldiers, a large amount of black fog surged in like a ferocious beast, directly swallowing up the people in front.

There were constant screams and no one could escape.

"Go back, go back!"

The captain of the garrison felt uneasy and gave orders quickly.

A gap finally appeared in the tight encirclement.

Dong Cunshan and others inside could not hear the sound outside, but they trusted Li Yan. After counting to three breaths, they rushed out directly.

Sure enough, there was no obstruction.

But when they got to the street, they didn't know what to do next.

Not to mention that there was black fog all around, making them dizzy and not knowing where to run, the disciples of Bagua Sect were not very familiar with Chengdu.

What’s more troublesome is that the seven-star flag above also began to dim.

"Not good, Uncle Master..."

When the Taoists below saw this, their faces were immediately filled with grief and anger.

"What are you waiting for? Come with me!"

At this moment, Li Yan arrived in time carrying a black cloth bag. He shouted and ran directly to the left.

"Where are we going?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow me!"

Li Yan had a gloomy expression and walked quickly in front.

He has been organizing team activities for a long time, and he is used to making full preparations for each action. When he came, he got the evacuation plan from Master Wuxiang.

Although it is cumbersome, it can definitely help you avoid pursuers.

Puff puff!
Suddenly, all the French flags above caught fire.

Taoist Priest Liuyun in the government office is dead, the altar is destroyed, and these flags have lost their foundation, so they naturally cannot be supported.

In an instant, evil winds howled around again.

Fortunately, these Taoists in Baiyun Temple are not weaklings.

"Come closer to us!"

The leading Taoist shouted loudly, then drew out his magic swords, chanted a spell, and together with another Taoist, inserted their swords into the ground, forming a Bagua pattern.

Then, they pulled out the red rope at the same time, twisted it around the hilt, changed positions, and instantly connected all the magic swords, and attached yellow talismans to the hilts.

After doing all this, they sat cross-legged, pinched their fingers and chanted incantations.

This is also a protective formation, but it is obviously much inferior to the previous altar. It can only be used for defense and cannot move.

Led by Dong Cunshan, the disciples of Bagua Sect quickly entered the formation and looked around with vigilance.

Dong Cunshan was also really depressed.

It’s not that the Bagua Sect doesn’t have martial arts, but none of them have awakened their magical powers. There are many things going on in the capital, and with Baiyun Temple following them, they don’t take it seriously.

Even if they encountered garrison troops, they were not afraid and always found a way to break through. However, once they were trapped in a strange formation, they could do nothing.

Li Yan stood outside the formation, staring at the street opposite, and threw the black cloth bag on his shoulder to Dong Cunshan.

"What is this?"

“The key to a breakout.”

Dong Cunshan was a little confused. He tore off a corner to take a look and immediately sweat broke out on his forehead.

There were two explosive packs inside.

These belonged to the soldiers of the garrison. Li Yan had just seen them and had to chase out to snatch them back, which wasted time.

After carefully putting away the package, Dong Cunshan looked at Li Yan in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Young Master Li, what are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for the opportunity to break the formation!"

The Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple beside him looked solemn and said, "If we don't break this formation, it will be difficult for us to break out."

"If you want to break this Yin Nuo Opera, you must first kill the three Yin generals who are guarding the formation. Then the Blood Basin Mother will appear, and that is the center of the formation."

"Kill him and the formation will break!"

Li Yan nodded and reached into his arms.

There was also a command inside the letter, which gave him the confidence to take the risk...

.........

"They escaped!"

The captain of the garrison came running over, anxiously cupping his hands and saying, "Please help us, don't let the prisoner escape!"

At this point, he no longer dared to be arrogant.

Firearms are useless when facing these strange guys.

"Hehe~"

Third Aunt Nie leaned on her cane, smiled and shook her head, "The Netherworld Theater has not yet disbanded. If we go in, we will die as well."

"What should we do?"

The captain was confused and asked quickly.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Aunt Nie was not in a hurry. She stuffed a Yuanxiao made of a pill into her mouth and looked at the opposite side. "The methods of these two Taoist friends have not been used yet."

Ghost Zhong Kui Situ Qian also had a gloomy expression.

Looking at the tablets of "Qi Sha" and "Po Jun" that had been burned, he took a reverse step and waved the fan again.

Call ~
The wind was howling and the tablet of "Tan Lang" was shaking slightly.

But in the blink of an eye, the last tablet was instantly burned.

"The other side has a master!"

Ghost Zhong Kui Situ Qian's face became more and more ferocious, and he said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai, we can only use the Blood Basin Mother Mother, get ready."

To be honest, tonight was a little beyond his expectations.

Most of the time, when using the Netherworld Stage, the evil wind alone is enough to take down everyone, and at most three Yin generals need to be dispatched.

If the "Bloody Madonna" is to be summoned, Bai Qihong must be the medium, and he must recuperate for several months afterwards. This is a last resort.

But things have come to this point, with so many evil sorcerers watching, if they fail, the ghost troupe's reputation will be damaged and they will definitely be punished.

Bai Qihong also understood the severity of the situation. She bit her fingertips without hesitation and drew a series of ghostly lines on her pale face.

Situ Qian, on the other hand, changed his Gangbu technique and spun around the bronze stage with his back turned, reciting scriptures faster and faster while taking out handfuls of paper money from his bosom and throwing them into the air.

On the bronze stage, black mist suddenly billowed out from the triple hip roof. In the center of the stage's caisson, a yin-yang mirror slowly rotated.

Paper money was flying all over the sky, and Bai Qihong's singing style also changed.

"After pouring the bloody wine, the world is dark. The Empress Liu has opened the door to the Dharma. The sons and daughters of the living world should not be filial. They should give their hearts and livers to the Empress as soon as possible..."

"Welcome to the Bloody Virgin Mary!"

"One hundred thousand hungry ghosts have a good meal!"

As she sang, a large amount of blood mist gushed out from the stage, surrounding her entire body and vaguely forming a lotus shape...
