Chapter 286: The Innate Eight Trigrams Formation
At this moment, only the backs of Qiu Shengwencai and the four others from the east, west, south, and north remained on the street.
They pushed their carts and shouted as they sold stinky tofu.
Looking at the empty streets, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
"Oh dear, there are no ghosts."
"Shh, don't say it out loud, lest we get caught," Ah Dong shushed him.
He knew the purpose of attracting ghosts.
"Oh, too."
However, at that moment, a figure flashed past and appeared behind them.
The expressions of the four people from the east, west, south, and north changed.
They didn't even notice!
In other words, this female ghost is no ordinary person!
"Hey, why are you selling stinky tofu so late at night? Can I have a serving?" The female ghost Xiaoli looked at Qiusheng and Wencai with a grin.
Then I saw four people from the east, west, south, and north. They looked unfamiliar, but I nodded to them as a greeting.
Abei was about to take out the talisman, but Adong grabbed him and shook his head.
It means that this ghost is not to be trifled with; it's best to leave it to Master!
The four brothers were truly of one mind; they could communicate with each other through their eyes without needing to speak.
So they didn't react; they just watched.
..........................
Qiu Sheng quickly replied with a smile, "Xiao Li, this stinky tofu isn't ordinary food. It's specially reserved for ghosts who come to watch ghost shows. We can't just give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoli's eyes widened: "It's for ghosts watching ghost shows to eat? That sounds interesting, but what's the use of eating it?"
"Haha, once the ghost eats it, it will become weak all over, and then we can catch it," Wen Cai said generously.
Xiaoli's eyes darted around, then she pointed into the distance: "Look."
As soon as they turned around, they saw hordes of ghosts coming toward them, their faces looking fierce.
After all, they said that if a ghost eats it, it will become weak and easier to catch.
How could they possibly be arrested?
He immediately flew into a rage and headed towards Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, intending to tear them both apart.
Before long, Qiu Sheng and the others heard the sound.
They turned around, and Qiu Shengwen was horrified when he saw what was happening. He grabbed the female ghost Xiaoli and the four people shouting "East, West, South, North" and ran away.
The horde of ghosts pursued them relentlessly, their howling echoing as if the shadow of death loomed over them.
"Quickly, run towards the innate Bagua formation that Master set up!" Qiu Sheng shouted.
The group ran towards their destination with all their might.
The female ghost, Xiaoli, had a smile on her face.
Her goal was achieved.
She was actually working for the Tree Demon Granny, and her purpose was to seduce the ghost messengers and the Maoshan Taoist priests into a conflict.
Her goal was to pester the ghost messengers so that they would make Lin Fengjiao lose her position as the manager of the Underworld Bank.
Another point is that she wanted to seduce Lin Fengjiao, whisper sweet nothings in his ear, and then get some of the Maoshan Taoists in the underworld to defect to the Black Mountain Demon's side.
......................
Just as victory seemed within reach, the horde of demons suddenly accelerated like wild horses, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced forward.
Upon seeing this, the four people from the east, west, south, and north could only pretend to flee as quickly as startled birds.
If they weren't afraid, Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, would have noticed something amiss.
This is something they don't want to see.
They cannot disrupt their master's grand plan.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were terrified and ran away as fast as they could.
Now they dared not slack off in the slightest.
A group of evil spirits pounced on them like hungry tigers, baring their fangs and claws. Qiu Sheng shouted at the top of his lungs, "Run!"
The group ran back with all their might. When they reached the vicinity of the open space, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Master, help!"
"Help, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine shouted, "Enter the formation!"
Qiu Sheng and the others rushed into the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation like arrows released from a bow.
The evil spirits swarmed in like a tide, but at this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed. It turned out that the Taoist priests of Maoshan had activated the Innate Bagua Formation in time.
The horde of ghosts crashed into the barrier of light like moths to a flame, emitting blood-curdling screams, unable to move an inch further.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai collapsed to the ground with a huge sigh of relief. The four men from the east, west, south, and north also wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, as if they had survived a disaster.
...........................
However, the female ghost Xiaoli stood inside the formation like a phantom, a cold smile on her lips: "This formation is quite powerful, but do you think it can trap me like this?"
After saying that, she hid behind Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai like a chameleon, putting on a pitiful appearance.
She could be sarcastic, but she couldn't show it.
She still has to seduce Lin Fengjiao.
However, the moment she entered the formation, Chizuru had already fixed her gaze on her like a hawk.
It can be said that the task of catching ghosts has been handed over to the other fellow disciples.
His real target is this female ghost, Xiao Li!
At that moment, as soon as these ghosts stepped into the formation, they were repelled by beams of golden light as if they had been electrocuted.
The Taoist priests of Maoshan moved their hands like butterflies, forming various hand seals and activating the strongest power of the formation. The runes in the formation shone even brighter, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
