Chapter 46 The Great Yu's Divine Steps, the Daoist Purple Talisman
2442 Haunted House.
Huang Bai stepped into this place once again.
This time, he focused on the interior layout.
The roof beams weigh down the soul, the fan hangs with evil spirits, the bed locks in resentment, the corners of the walls gather yin energy, and even the direction the windows face has been changed.
The entire 2442 room is like a specially crafted coffin, designed to trap the souls of the dead and nurture their resentment.
He casually sensed the White Crane Boy's summoning slip and summoned a protective golden light.
"Come out."
Huang Bai stood in the center of the room, looking up at the ceiling.
"If you really want revenge, you have to let me see this place clearly first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature around him plummeted.
The snow-white paint began to peel off, and bright red blood slowly seeped out from the cracks. Strands of long, jet-black hair hung down from the ceiling, crawling down the wall like countless live snakes swimming in the room.
The next moment, two figures slowly appeared.
They were two girls wearing white dresses.
His face was deathly pale, his long hair was disheveled, his eyes were black, and his body was covered in blood.
The strangest thing is that they are not completely separate, but rather connected by some unseen force. Their movements are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but their resentment is perfectly integrated.
It is the twin vengeful ghost of 2442.
They stared intently at Huang Bai, not rushing forward immediately, clearly aware of the power of the protective golden light.
Huang Bai made a hand seal and walked with strange steps, bending one leg and hopping on one foot.
This gait is called the Yu Step. Legend has it that Yu the Great was a cripple, and shamans imitated his movements when he was controlling the floods in order to gain divine power.
Using the steps of Yu, hand gestures, and the sixteen-character feng shui secret technique, Huang Bai quickly saw the flaw in this situation.
He pasted talismans drawn by Ah You at various points, the talismans arranged according to a certain pattern, and the haunted house was covered with talismans.
"open!"
Wow!
The scene shifts, and the room transforms into a churning sea of blood.
In the middle of the sea of blood, two girls dressed in snow-white dresses stood alone, their eyes covered by red cloth, howling venomously at their surroundings.
"That's the secret to this game."
The reason why the twin demons attack others indiscriminately is that they are blinded by others.
Furthermore, the feng shui arrangement constantly absorbs yin energy, naturally causing resentment to accumulate and intensify.
The yellow and white figures slowly approached the twin ghosts.
The surrounding sea of blood churned, bringing to mind various past events.
Before Huang Bai's eyes, it was no longer an old public housing unit, but another house from many years ago.
Back then, this place wasn't this eerie.
There were textbooks, a desk, and two little girls who looked alike. One was writing, and the other was laughing. They were talking together, like the most ordinary and quiet pair of sisters in the world.
The teacher next to them was giving them guidance on their homework.
The next moment, the door opened.
A man walked in.
His face was blurry, but Huang Bai could still recognize him at a glance as Zhong Jiu; it was not the state a normal person should be in.
Zhong Jiu, shrouded in a faint wisp of black energy, watched the three students tutoring their homework from the shadows.
Zhong Jiu made a spell with his hands, and the teacher's eyes became empty, as if he had been gently pushed by something and fell into the abyss.
Then came the cries, struggles, blood, shattered objects, and screams of utter despair.
His yellow and white eyebrows slowly furrowed.
Then, the scene shifts again.
The two sisters are dead, but their souls have not left. They are trapped in this room, watching their own corpses, watching people come and go outside, and watching the years pass by.
Chung Kau hammered nails into the room, drew talismans on the fan, buried hair in the corner, and secretly chanted incantations to them.
They were originally just innocent ghosts, but they were gradually transformed into what they are now.
The resentment lingers, the soul remains, and the person suffers torment day and night, unable to be reborn or truly take revenge.
Wow!
Huang Bai removed the red cloth covering the eyes of the two ghost sisters.
"The one who harmed you is an evil sect, not your beloved teacher," Huang Bai told the truth.
In an instant, the memories returned, and the sea of blood collapsed.
The resentment emanating from the two ghosts began to dissipate.
"This matter has been resolved for you; your resentment has dissipated."
Upon hearing this, both of the vengeful ghosts were clearly taken aback.
They've been trapped in this house for so many years.
Some were afraid, some were foolish, some were blinded by lust, and some, including Zhong Jiu, wanted to use them to practice his magic.
No one has ever voluntarily lifted the restrictions on them when they could clearly suppress them.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, one of the female ghosts floated forward a step, and two streams of bloody tears slowly flowed from her dark eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the other one moved too.
They stood on either side of Huang Bai, their resentment no longer as frantic as before, but rather as if they had finally found an outlet after suppressing it for too many years.
Huang Bai's heart stirred slightly, and he spoke:
"You want revenge?"
The two vengeful ghosts nodded simultaneously.
A sudden, eerie wind swept through the room, and blood began to trickle down the walls. The overwhelming hatred threatened to tear the entire room apart.
Of course they wanted revenge.
It wasn't about killing a few unrelated people to vent her anger; it was about tearing the people who truly harmed them to pieces.
For myself, and for the teacher's family.
Huang Bai looked at them and slowly understood.
"If you come with me and enter the Altar of Soldiers and Horses, you will no longer be just ghosts, but ghost soldiers in my altar, never to escape."
"Those who enter my altar must abide by my rules; they must not kill indiscriminately or harm the innocent."
The two twin ghosts stared straight at him.
A moment later, they simultaneously bent their knees and slowly knelt down.
Huang Bai stepped forward and cast the Soul-Capturing Spell:
"Very well. From this day forward, you will be my ghost soldiers."
After saying this, he raised his hand and summoned the Altar of Soldiers and Horses.
Now that I possess the [Altar of All Heavens], even though the physical altar of the terracotta warriors is not in sight, the illusory image of the altar can be projected directly down from the ancient temple.
Wow!
A black altar phantom slowly emerged from the air, with a faint white talisman glowing at its mouth, swirling with yin energy, and the figure of a yaksha appeared.
As soon as the Yaksha appeared, the twin demons became clearly on guard.
Huang Bai raised his hand to suppress the ferocity of the Yaksha.
"One of our own."
The Yaksha then calmed down a bit and stood aside, holding his shackles.
Black chains flew out from the altar and reached towards the two women, instantly binding them and refining them, pulling them into the deep void.
It was a gray, misty place where centuries-old yin soil nourished the yakshas standing in the void.
The twin vengeful spirits have taken root in this place, their souls covered with a layer of tadpole-like, winding patterns, which, combined with their beautiful faces, make them even more alluring.
As the female ghost was refined, room 2442 began to shake violently, large pieces of plaster peeled off the walls, blood gushed out from the cracks, and the yin energy in the room rushed out as if going mad.
The twin demons appeared beside the altar shadow, staring intently at everything.
They could feel that the cage that had confined them for so many years had finally been destroyed.
"Possession, symbiosis, invisibility? Not bad." Huang Bai sensed the abilities of the two ghosts.
Compared to the bold and unrestrained Yaksha, it has a more concealed feel.
…………
Just as the feng shui arrangement was being disrupted by Huang Bai, Zhong Jiu, who was far away, suddenly opened his eyes.
Without warning, the candles on the altar went down, and the smoke from the incense burner shot up with a whoosh, then quickly dimmed.
"What happened?"
Zhong Jiu's expression changed, and he immediately rushed to the altar to check.
The next instant, the talisman he had placed on 2442 exploded with a "crack," the ashes in the urn trembled slightly, and the wisp of yin energy connected to the twin ghosts was also forcibly torn off.
Zhong Jiu felt a tightness in his chest and vomited blood on the spot.
Her already weak body became even weaker.
"Someone is sabotaging my plans! Huang Bai? Chen You? I will tear you to pieces!"
He was both shocked and furious, and his eyes darkened to an extreme.
This game had been brewing for so long, and it was almost ready to be completed, but it was ruined right here.
Zhong Jiu gritted his teeth and made a hand seal, trying to peer into the opposite direction of the altar. As soon as he started using his magic, he felt another completely different aura shove in, and he completely lost his connection with the female ghost.
Wow!
The incense and candles went out immediately.
"Good, very good."
Zhong Jiu's face turned ashen, but a fierce glint slowly crept into his eyes.
He originally wanted to wait a while longer until the evil spirits were fully subdued before taking them all down at once.
But it seems we can't wait any longer.
They have become an obstacle to me; I must kill them first, no matter what.
No matter the cost.
He slowly opened the box, inside which lay a purple talisman, a corpse-refining talisman that only a highly skilled cultivator could draw.
