The Use of Soul-Suppressing Memorial Tablets
Chapter 151 The Use of Soul-Suppressing Memorial Tablets
"This is... the Corpse Dissolving Curse?"
Zhong Cai exclaimed in surprise after seeing the talisman at the bottom of the coffin.
Why would there be a corpse-dissolving curse?
Immediately, Chen Miao and Qi Ning lifted up another coffin, and Zhong Cai remained silent after seeing it.
"Could it be that all the coffins in the village have this talisman carved on them?"
"But according to the scheme set up in this village, shouldn't it be about raising corpses? Why would they want to decompose corpses?"
Zhong Cai couldn't figure it out.
Seeing this, Chen Miao asked about the specifics of the Corpse-Dissolving Curse.
"Besides dispelling the corpse's aura, does this talisman have any other uses?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai sat down on the stool and thought for a moment.
"The Corpse-Dissolving Talisman is different from the Spirit-Suppressing Talisman. The Spirit-Suppressing Talisman only suppresses the corpse, but cannot remove the corpse energy that already exists in the corpse. After the effect of the Spirit-Suppressing Talisman wears off, the zombie will continue to move."
"However, the corpses that have been dissolved by the corpse-dissolving talisman will gradually degenerate from zombies into corpses, but this process is somewhat slow."
"Logically speaking, if this village is full of coffins like these, then there's no way that zombies could appear."
However, Zhong Cai soon realized something.
"No, there's also the Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation! The Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation can gather yin, and the gathered yin is used to nourish the corpse... If that's the case, nourishing the corpse while transforming it can maintain a balance."
"But the problem is, where exactly is the Yin energy gathered by the Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation? I haven't figured that out yet."
"One more question!"
"According to the corpse-dissolving incantation drawn on this coffin, the corpse's energy should be drawn out from the corpse inside the coffin and released into the ground."
"If this continues, the land beneath the coffin will be tainted by the stench of death and could very well become a breeding ground for corpses!"
"But now..."
Zhong Cai touched the ground.
"This place doesn't look like a corpse-raising ground at all."
"That's strange, really strange!"
Listening to Zhong Cai's words, Chen Miao was also unable to answer Zhong Cai's questions using the information he already had.
There must be some key element that hasn't been discovered yet, preventing him from piecing together the fragmented information he's gathered.
What could it be?
For the rest of the time, Chen Miao and the other two did not leave the room; they stayed there and discussed what they should do next.
Zhong Cai proposed the idea of breaking the Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation, which is to break the whole formation by focusing on a single point.
This time, however, under Chen Miao's guidance, the three of them did not start with the zombies, but with the ghosts and spirits in these empty houses!
Tonight, they will deal with the evil spirits in this house!
Having made his decision, Chen Miao opened the book.
The content has changed slightly, but the ending is similar: all three of them die.
But this time, he died at the hands of a ghost!
"..."
"After nightfall, the three of us lay in ambush in the room."
"Because we all have Ghost Cubes on us, we still have some confidence."
"However, because of the ghostly sight at the village entrance before, Zhong Cai gave a suggestion: when they discover something ghostly, all three of them need to take turns spitting out blood from the tip of their tongues to prevent others from being injured while their eyes are clouded by the ghost."
"Around midnight, the bell on the door frame of the downstairs room rang twice, and the three of us became alert."
"Because there were many people, and Zhong Cai had only seen two ghosts in each room before, the three of them immediately took action after discovering that the ghosts had entered the room silently."
"After Qi Ning spat out a mouthful of blood, the scene before him changed. Qi Ning's fist was no longer aimed at the ghost, but at Zhong Cai!"
"Just as the two of them felt a chill, they looked in my direction, and then two Ghost Cubes were thrown behind me."
"When the two ghosts were taken down by the two ghost cubes, I broke out in a cold sweat."
"Fortunately, the ghosts in the village are not very fierce; what's troublesome is their use of the ghost-concealing technique."
"Although the two ghosts have been captured, the Ghost Cube is finite. If we want to deal with the other ghosts, we have to free up Ghost Cube."
"So, I took action." "I took out the incense sticks I'd brought and began chanting the 'Incantation for Resolving Grudges,' but to my surprise, the incantation was completely useless!"
"After thinking about it, I decided not to use the 'Suppressing Evil and Destroying Evil Mantra' directly, but instead used the 'Suppressing Soul and Calming the Soul Mantra'."
"Unexpectedly, it succeeded!"
"So, does this mean these ghosts didn't die accidentally, but rather died of old age?"
"Why, if he could die peacefully in his sleep, would he refuse to leave and instead linger in the house?"
"I don't understand, and I'm no longer able to investigate what's going on."
"Next, I performed a ritual to release the evil spirits from the second Ghost Cube!"
"Just as we breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that we were one step closer to successfully leaving the village, we heard the sound of a bell ringing downstairs."
"The bell rang for a full half minute."
"Just how many ghosts have come in?"
"I don't know, we died, we died at each other's hands."
……
"You can't kill zombies, and you can't kill ghosts either!"
"So, we're the ones who deserve to die?"
Looking at this outcome, Chen Miao rubbed his temples.
If that's the case, it seems that using that thing is the only option.
Chen Miao walked over to the two of them and shared his thoughts.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
As night was about to fall, Chen Miao began taking things out of his bag.
Zhong Cai and Qi Ning both looked over.
Chen Miao had previously said that they might not need to take action that night, so everyone was curious about what Chen Miao would bring out.
If you can avoid taking action, then it's best not to.
Soon, they saw what Chen Miao was holding, and both of them fell silent.
"Chen Miao, is this the secret weapon you mentioned?"
Qi Ning looked at the memorial tablet that Chen Miao was holding and asked.
Chen Miao nodded.
"Correct."
Although Zhong Cai was also shocked by Chen Miao's actions, he didn't say anything more when he thought about Chen Miao's incense burning technique.
He just looked at the four characters on the memorial tablet with curiosity.
A god in the mortal world!
Could this be the secret of the incense burning ritual?
Is this the deity that the successor of the incense-burning ritual needs to communicate with?
Why have I never heard of this before?
"So, how do we use this?"
Qi Ning asked.
Chen Miao looked at the spirit tablet in his hand, wondering where it should be placed. He already had an idea.
He carried the memorial tablet to the first floor and placed it where it should have been placed on the threshold!
Since the bell rings every time a ghost comes, it means that the ghosts all enter through the door.
In this case, wouldn't placing the spirit tablet at the door be more effective than placing it beside you?
Even if you don't guess right, don't worry, Chen Miao has another one in his bag!
After setting down the spirit tablet, Chen Miao led the two people who were still puzzled back to the second floor.
Time passes little by little.
It was past midnight when the bell downstairs rang twice!
