Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Eighteen Demon-Slaying Formation_1
This way.
The disciples each took their places, as the Ghost-slaying Formation had been set up.
Taoist Master Xuanqing walked to the center of the Daoist platform, standing with his hands clasped behind his back.
Moonlight spilled onto his golden Daoist robe, making it shimmer brilliantly as if a celestial being had descended to the mortal realm.
All the big V influencers had their cameras trained on Taoist Master Xuanqing.
Whether it was the spectators at the scene or the onlookers in the livestream, everyone fixed their gaze on Taoist Master Xuanqing.
A live broadcast of exorcising fierce ghosts.
This was a first since Pangu created heaven and earth!
Both mysterious and thrilling.
The livestream was so crowded it was practically bursting at the seams.
Moreover, many people who saw the livestream even drove over specifically to watch the excitement on site.
The ghost-slaying formation that Taoist Master Xuanqing set up was named the Eighteen Demon-Slaying Formation!
This formation was the treasured secret of Five Tiger Mountain.
Within one large formation, there were eighteen smaller ones.
The fierce ghost would be trapped in the large formation, and then attacked in turns by the eighteen smaller formations, where it would be gradually obliterated.
The principle was to first shut the door, then beat the dog with a flurry of sticks!
"Heavenly Fire Thunder God, thunder descends from the five directions. Earth Fire Thunder God, exorcise demons and ghosts. Evil spirits be gone, obey my imperial command. Supreme Elder Lord, hasten as the decree dictates!"
Taoist Master Xuanqing chanted a lengthy incantation, then loudly declared.
"Activate the formation."
The disciples immediately began reciting in unison.
They were reciting the Scripture of Summoning Ghosts.
The previously still grass on the ground suddenly swayed.
In an instant, a fierce wind arose.
The biting wind skimmed across the ground with a whoosh.
The skirts of women on site were all blown up by the wind.
Seeing this, the men hurriedly switched their cameras from Taoist Master Xuanqing to the various beauties.
After all, the fluttering skirts of women are always the most attractive scenery to men.
The wind, which started off just strong, suddenly became extremely chilling.
The onlookers at the scene began to shiver uncontrollably from the cold.
The men could no longer care about filming and hurriedly started rubbing their hands together.
The women, regardless of whether they were wearing high heels or not, began stamping their feet.
Only Xue Xiaochan was an exception.
Standing beside Qin Feng, the demon wind couldn’t move her skirt, nor bring her bone-chilling cold.
Xue Xiaochan furrowed her brows and asked Qin Feng, "Nothing serious is going to happen, right? We can’t have any more deaths."
Although this scene was orchestrated by Xue Yuhang, Xue Xiaochan sincerely hoped no accidents would occur.
"Master Zhikong has fought against me, he must know I’m here. So, he should know his limits," Qin Feng replied.
"If anything goes wrong, see how I deal with you?"
Xue Xiaochan glared at Qin Feng and sneakily slapped his butt.
Her hand had been a bit cold at first, but after slapping him, she found that it instantly warmed up.
The feeling was actually quite nice.
It seems that men are not completely useless after all!
At least they can be used to warm up the hands.
Qin Feng looked at Xue Xiaochan and said with a chuckle, "Wife, you possess the Heaven Yin Physique, which makes you particularly susceptible to attracting evil spirits. You really shouldn’t have come to Moon Lake. Once you’ve been here, no matter where you go, as long as I’m not with you, there will be evil beings drawing near you. Although they can’t hurt you, they can make your life miserable and give you nightmares every night. To solve this innate trouble, there’s only one way."
"To consummate our marriage?"
Xue Xiaochan interrupted before Qin Feng could finish speaking.
"Since you know, wife, let’s just get it over with when we go back later! Sooner or later, it must be done, the sooner we do it, the sooner we can enjoy!"
"Get lost!"
Because there were many people around, Xue Xiaochan didn’t feel it was appropriate to kick Qin Feng, so she could only use her knee to give him a hard nudge in the butt.
It served as a lesson for him!
Suddenly, a ghostly wailing sound came through.
The pitch was strange and quite eerie.
Under the moonlight, shadowy black remnants hovered in mid-air, swaying uncertainly.
They gradually floated toward them.
Inside the Eighteen Demon-Slaying Formation, seven oil lamps were lit in the shape of the Big Dipper.
Suddenly, a fierce demon wind blew up again.
Among the howling winds, three of the seven oil lamps were extinguished, leaving only four.
"Such a formidable evil ghost, daring to snuff out my Seven-Star Lamps? Tonight, I shall scatter your soul to the winds!"
Taoist Master Xuanqing bellowed, and the howling winds abruptly ceased.
The onlookers were all dumbstruck.
Taoist Master Xuanqing of Five Tiger Mountain truly lived up to his reputation!
With a single shout, he scared the mischievous evil ghost into no longer daring to blow demon winds.
"This Taoist Master Xuanqing seems to be really capable," Xue Xiaochan said.
"Hmm!"
Qin Feng nodded and objectively responded, "Five Tiger Mountain is ranked fifth among the Thirty-six Heavenly Caves, and their Taoists come from a prestigious heritage, so naturally, they possess some skills."
"How do you compare with him?"
"That depends on what we’re comparing. If it’s about showing off, I can’t beat him. But if it’s about dealing with evil ghosts, he’s probably not as good as me. The Eighteen Demon-Slaying Formation laid out by Taoist Master Xuanqing is Five Tiger Mountain’s signature formation. Whether it’s lost souls or knowledgeable evil ghosts, once they enter this formation, they will be executed. It leaves no leeway.
The formation is extremely ruthless; once an evil ghost enters, it can only fight desperately, and its power will naturally skyrocket. The evil ghosts around Moon Lake, even if they don’t fight with all they’ve got, Taoist Master Xuanqing might not be their match. Forcing them to fight to the death is essentially shooting himself in the foot."
"So, from what you’re saying, if you were to handle this, you wouldn’t execute those evil ghosts, right? Are you going to reason with them or something?"
"Evil ghosts are pitiful beings full of resentment. It’s the easiest and most straightforward thing to disperse their souls, but such action damages one’s own virtue. The best approach for evil ghosts is to resolve their grievances and then provide salvation for them. Send them off so they can move on to reincarnation."
"What if you can’t resolve their grievances, and they refuse to be reborn but instead want to continue causing harm in the mortal realm? What would you do then?"
"Then I’ll just have to execute them!"
"After all that talk, aren’t you the same as Taoist Master Xuanqing?"
"What do you mean the same? He takes a one-size-fits-all approach. Any ghost, without discrimination, is executed. I’m different; I seek to save those that can be saved. Only those who are utterly obstinate will be executed!"
"You always have to be right, don’t you? Everyone else is wrong."
Xue Xiaochan just wanted to bicker with Qin Feng, so she was deliberately picking a fight with him!
Qin Feng didn’t continue to engage with her banter, merely rolling his eyes.
A woman’s mouth can’t be shut with words, it requires something else to do the job.
The air suddenly became still.
Taoist Master Xuanqing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The situation was somewhat abnormal at this moment.
When there’s an anomaly, there must be demons at play!
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to stay the course in the face of any change.
Taoist Master Xuanqing chanted a spell, pointed his Ghost-slaying Sword toward the moon above, and then commanded his most capable disciple, "Lin Ziyu, light the lamps."
