Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 126 Soul-Splitting Paper Knife
Chen Miao turned and told Xiang Shang to stay at the door, while he went inside alone.

During the process, Chen Miao also opened the book and took a look.

There is nothing unusual.

Immediately, Chen Miao became even more convinced of his guess.

Soon, Chen Miao walked to the table and looked at the disheveled figure curled up on it.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the figure suddenly changed from a curled-up state to a pouncing stance!
The figure moved dramatically, causing Xiang Shang's expression to change outside the door, but Chen Miao didn't move an inch.

In fact, just as Chen Miao thought, there was no need to hide at all.

Looking at the hideous female ghost who seemed to have crashed into invisible glass, Chen Miao smiled.

When he found the female ghost curled up on the table, he knew what had happened.

It is likely that the Yin-gathering talisman, while in effect, gathers all the surrounding Yin energy.

After the dense yin energy gathers in this room, the yin energy in other places will naturally become less dense.

Thus, the evil spirits followed the flow of yin energy and arrived in the basement.

Given the time, the location, and the origin of this ghost, it's easy to guess.

I imagine this ghost must have been quite excited to arrive here.

So he started wandering around the room, and accidentally passed by the area where the spirit tablet was located, and then went inside.

Once inside, getting out becomes a pipe dream.

Looking at the ghost, Chen Miao shook his head.

"So, what Mr. Xie was talking about really is a paranormal event. But if your true form isn't in the bathroom, where is it?"

Chen Miao was filled with curiosity.

But in reality, he didn't care about the true form of this ghost.

Judging from the fact that this sneaky person hasn't started killing anyone yet, he shouldn't be a formidable character.

If Chen Miao were to directly perform the ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife, the yin energy within her body would not last long.

Thinking this, Chen Miao reached out and ran his hand across the book.

The Seven Star Peach Wood Sword appeared in his hand.

But when he raised the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, he hesitated.

Looking at the female ghost with a face full of resentment in front of him, Chen Miao slowly put away the peach wood sword in his hand.

Then, he took the ghost cube out of his bag and threw it at the female ghost.

The moment the female ghost came into contact with the Ghost Cube, she vanished.

After picking up the Ghost Cube and putting it in his bag, Chen Miao reached out and activated the Yin Gathering Technique!

The already dense Yin energy around him rapidly gathered under the Yin-gathering state, and Chen Miao did not allow this Yin energy to linger on his hands.

After gathering a dense mass of yin energy, he would stuff it into the area of ​​the spirit tablet.

After repeating this process several times, the concentration of yin energy in the room decreased to a level slightly higher than that of a normal nighttime night.

Chen Miao reached into the area of ​​the spirit tablet to sense it and found that the concentration of Yin energy was still somewhat lower than the mass gathered in his hand, but it should be enough for drawing talismans.

Thinking this, Chen Miao waved for Xiang Shang to bring the things in.

"Next, I'll demonstrate how to draw a talisman. Watch carefully."

As Chen Miao spoke, he was about to begin mixing the cinnabar and blood ink.

However, Xiang Shang grabbed his hand.

"No, did I just go blind?"

Xiang Shang stared at Chen Miao.

"Aren't you going to explain to me what just happened? Did you catch a ghost?"

Chen Miao looked at Xiang Shang: "Are you going to learn or not? If not, I'm going to sleep."

Xiang Shangyou was so angry that he muttered, "Learn!"

"Just you wait, Sanshui, you just wait. Even when I can catch ghosts, I won't let you see them!"

Chen Miao didn't say much and started grinding directly.

While grinding the powder, she explained to Xiang Shang as if nothing had happened!
After the ink was ground and the talisman paper was cut, Chen Miao placed the inkstone and talisman paper within the area of ​​the spirit-suppressing shrine.

"Remember, you can only draw talismans on this table, and each time you can't spend more than three minutes."

“You need to rest for a while after every three minutes of drawing, until your hand returns to normal.”

Seeing that Xiang Shang still seemed angry about what had just happened, Chen Miao frowned and said, "Did you hear what I said?" Seeing that Chen Miao was somewhat serious, Xiang Shang immediately stopped acting up.

"Yes, I heard you. Three minutes each time!"

"This is very important; it concerns your health. You don't want to become a useless person right after getting a girlfriend, do you?"

Xiang Shang was startled by Chen Miao's words and became even more serious.

Chen Miao continued drawing talismans from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM.

Two talismans were drawn in two hours.

They are a spirit-suppressing talisman and a yin-dispelling talisman, respectively.

Chen Miao was very satisfied with his success rate in drawing talismans this time. He immediately put away the talismans and said to Xiang Shang, "This is the process. Don't even think about trying it yourself."

"Practice on regular paper first, and once you're proficient, try drawing using my method."

"After all, the materials are quite valuable, and too much contact with yin energy is not good for you."

Xiang Shang was influenced by Chen Miao's seriousness in teaching, and he has also been very serious during this period.

Upon hearing Chen Miao's words, he immediately nodded and wrote it down on his phone.

"Alright, that's all for today. Go upstairs and go to sleep."

Xiang Shang was taken aback.

I was about to ask, "And what about you?", but then I remembered the ghost that Chen Miao had caught before.

He immediately stopped asking questions.

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

After Xiang Shang finished speaking, he took his peach wood sword blank and left the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Xiang Shang let out a soft breath.

"Sanshui, this guy, can be really scary when he's teaching."

After sighing, Xiang Shang thought of the female ghost again.

What is Sanshui going to do?

"It can't be..."

Xiang Shang shook his head, trying to shake that absurd thought out of his mind.

But some ideas, once they arise, can never be taken back!
……

Chen Miao had no idea what Xiang Shang was imagining.

After Xiang Shang left, Chen Miao took out a talisman paper and used the remaining cinnabar and blood ink to write many talismans on it.

After finishing writing, Chen Miao dispelled the yin energy and began folding the paper.

Soon, a long, rectangular paper knife, about the length of a palm, appeared in Chen Miao's hand.

Although it's not exquisite, it does resemble a knife.

After folding the paper knives, Chen Miao took out another inkstone, put cinnabar in it, poured in a little water, and began to grind it into a paste.

After finishing, Chen Miao took the paper knife and ran the blade through the cinnabar paste.

When the paper knife was picked up again, a bright red stain had appeared on the blade.

This sword is called the Soul-Splitting Sword!

It is an indispensable tool for the Soul Splitting Technique.

The Soul Splitting Blade is a consumable item; one Soul Splitting Blade can only cut one soul.

If you try to cut other souls with the same knife, you will definitely fail.

Because when the Soul-Splitting Blade cuts a soul, it becomes 'contaminated' by the soul and carries the aura of that soul.

If you have this aura, then trying to split the soul will cause a conflict, leading to the failure of the soul splitting.

What Chen Miao needs to do now is to split his soul!
Just then, a ghost bumped into his arms. If he didn't take this opportunity to try something, who knows when he would have another chance like this.

Thinking this, Chen Miao gripped the Ghost Cube in his hand and forcefully flung it at the spirit tablet.

A phantom image was flung out of the Ghost Cube.

Before the female ghost could react, Chen Miao affixed an ordinary spirit-suppressing talisman to her head, rendering her unable to move.

At the same time, Chen Miao picked up the soul-splitting paper knife with its bright red blade!
