Chapter 101: Practicing the Method of Summoning Ghosts at the Foot of Mount Tai (15)

"Brother, the world is not peaceful right now, so let me escort you a little longer! Once we are out of Qingzhou, I will rush back to Erlong Mountain."

There is nothing to say about Lu Zhishen's attitude towards his brothers.

When sending Lin Chong, he sent him directly to Cangzhou. When sending Cao Jie, he certainly would not just send him to Qingzhou.

After Qingzhou, you will reach Yanzhou.

Lu Zhishen touched his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you have Xiaoqi and other brothers to protect you, so you are not afraid of those petty thieves. But brother Wu Song has told me that you must send brother to Liangshan before I can rest assured!

There are Zhang San and Li Si guarding Erlong Mountain. As long as they don't rashly go down the mountain, even if Qin Ming comes, they can guard it for a year or two. I'd better send him off for a while!"

"Okay, okay, brother Zhishen, when we get to Liangshan, you can stay and have a couple of drinks before you go back."

Cao Jie had no choice. The big monk preferred noise to silence, and it was indeed a bit difficult for him to be left alone on Erlong Mountain.

We still have to arrange an assistant for him.

Lu Zhishen laughed heartily: "That's great! Brothers can be happy together!"

With Vajra Master protecting him, Cao Jie naturally had nothing to worry about. While eating and drinking along the way, he continued to study the secret book of "Five Ghost Techniques".

After walking and stopping, we arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.

I saw a huge mountain standing majestically on the land of Shandong, silently overlooking the vicissitudes of the world.

It was getting late, so Cao Jie and his companions stayed in the town at the foot of the mountain. As the night deepened, he heard the noisy drinking next door, so he rolled up the secret book, put his hands behind his back and looked at the full moon in the sky.

"Brother, are you still worried about the Five Ghost Technique?"

Since changing his job to become a surgical expert in Qingfeng Mountain, Cao Zheng's temperament has also changed greatly. The butcher's air is gone, and the elegant air has not been developed. What remains is that cold feeling that looks at people as if they were spare parts.

A pair of eyes, particularly creepy.

"I have gained a little, but I don't know where to start to practice this technique."

"Why not give it a try?"

Cao Jie looked at the dark Mount Tai and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's give it a try at the foot of Mount Tai. Brother Cao Zheng, there are many incense and candle shops in town, buy these things for me..."

"Brother, wait a moment. I'll go buy it."

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a folk belief that the soul of a person would return to Mount Tai after death.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the god who was in charge of the underworld and governed ghosts was called Taishan Fujun.

According to Han folklore, the Lord of Mount Tai is replaced every 500 years by upright officials. Among them, the most famous one is Cui Ziyu from the Tang Dynasty. He judges the yang during the day and the yin at night, and is a human god who judges the yin and yang worlds impartially.

Up to now, Taoism is flourishing, and gradually, in addition to the Lord of Mount Tai, a group of immortals have been assigned to Dongyue, such as Siming Dongyue Shangzhenqing Mao Ying and others.

There were many more temples, both Taoist and Buddhist, all crowded on one mountain.

Soon, Cao Zheng came back with a bunch of incense, candles, lanterns and other items for worship.

"This Five Ghosts Technique, Zheng Tianshou has turned it into an evil technique. But in my opinion, he himself went down the evil path, and it has nothing to do with the technique."

Cao Zheng nodded: "It must be that he has evil intentions and has gone astray."

"The cultivation of magic skills requires a lot of hard work. If you want to achieve success overnight, you will naturally go astray and end up hurting others and yourself."

The two men left the town and came to a secluded forest. With the help of the moonlight, Cao Jie quickly made a green lantern.

There is a white candle standing in the green lantern, but it has not been lit yet.

"Brother, are you planning to use this lantern to attract ghosts?"

"It's not that simple. The lantern is just an appearance. What's important is this breath of Yin energy." Cao Jie muttered to himself, his soul jumped out, and he breathed a breath of Yin energy into the lantern.

Then, under Cao Zheng's puzzled gaze, the candle in the green lantern ignited without fire, floated in the air and hung on the treetop.

But this is not the point. The point is the flickering flame of the candle, which is not the usual orange-yellow color, but a faint green color, like a flickering ghost fire.

Even half of the forest was shrouded in an extremely strange green glow.

"If you want to ward off ghosts, you must first attract them."

"If fate allows, a ghost is summoned, enjoys my sacrifice, and is willing to be raised by me, then the first step will be accomplished."

"But there is no such opportunity in the world. Ordinary people cannot become ghosts after they die. Most of those who become ghosts have a lot of resentment in their hearts, and they only think about revenge on the living."

"It is not impossible to force the cultivation, but when the cultivator becomes weak, the evil spirit will attack him... This is the wrong path."

"Zheng Tianshou killed people and refined ghosts, and he fell into the devil's way, and he was doomed to eternal damnation."

As he spoke, he set up a simple altar.

Cao Jie glanced at the ghost lamp hanging on the treetop and said, "If you use corpse oil to make candles as a fuse, you will attract evil spirits and ghosts. If you see someone refining corpse oil in the future, just kill him with a knife, because he must be a person with evil intentions."

"I see."

What is corpse oil?
It is to cut off the chin of a dead pregnant woman, then burn the chin with a white candle, and the oil that drips out is corpse oil.

Looking at the night sky, Cao Zheng asked, "Brother, do you want to ask Brother Zhishen to come and protect us?"

"No need! Your soul is a ghost and will not interfere with my practice. If they come, the bloody aura will be too strong to attract the ghost. Hush! The time is up. I am going to start the practice to attract the soul..."

As Cao Jie took the Seven Star Steps and chanted an inaudible spell of "hehe, shush", the ghost fire of the green lantern on the treetop became more and more blazing and green.

Just as the Seven Star Steps stirred up gusts of cold wind, Cao Jie suddenly stood still and sat cross-legged. It was at this moment that Cao Zheng found that his vision darkened and the whole world became three points darker. Even the full moon in the sky turned as pale as bones.

He took a deep breath and felt that the eerie surroundings were particularly comfortable.

In the woods covered by Cao Jie's spell, everything was eerily quiet, just like the dead silence of walking alone in a cemetery at night. The eerie feeling penetrated into the bone marrow, making people feel depressed and heavy as if a huge rock was blocking their hearts.

But the surgeon did not think this was torture. He instantly fell in love with this dead silence and eeriness.

At this time, Cao Jie pricked up his ears and vaguely heard some strange noises, as if many people were whispering in the woods.

There were also strange noises of chewing, groaning, and wailing.

It makes people's scalp numb.

suddenly!

A cloud of black gas obscured the moonlight, covered the soul-guiding lamp, and hovered above the altar.

It seemed as if countless people were surging in the black air.

After eating the sacrifice, it still did not feel satisfied, and actually moved towards Cao Jie, a living person.

"Ugh!"

A group of evil spirits that rushed towards him with bared fangs and claws were scattered in front of him with a casual slash of his hand, and the evil energy that was diffused in the surroundings was also dissipated.

"They are all lonely ghosts..."

As soon as Cao Jie finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Cao Zheng...
