Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and whispered to himself:
"The effect of this morgue upgrade is much better than I expected."
Then, he noticed that there was a complex diagram of the coffin guard formation in his mind. The talismans in the formation were intertwined and extremely complicated.
After Zhang Hao memorized it briefly, he took out his writing brush and quickly drew a few symbols on the coffin.
Then he stood in the middle of the morgue and muttered:
"Wandering soul, where is your destination?"
"The wilderness by the river, among the tombs and mountains and forests."
"Innocent people are frightened and lose their true soul."
"Please ask the road gods to help you find it quickly."
"The boy sends his soul, and the possessed body is safe."
"Lend me the sun and fire to recall the lost ghosts!"
In the past, when Zhang Hao used spiritualism, it was to demonstrate to Zhang Qilin and Hao Xie, so the steps were detailed.
But now, he only needs to mobilize his yang energy and recite a spell to easily attract the ghosts.
At this time, several phantoms gradually appeared in front of Zhang Hao.
They bowed respectfully and asked in unison:
"I wonder what you have ordered when you summon us?"
Zhang Hao examined these shadows and said in a deep voice:
"You are all ghosts who are less than a year old."
"Now I have a task for you. If you complete it well, I will guarantee that you will be safe and sound for a year. Once you reach your yin age, you can be reincarnated with peace of mind!"
"I won't force you. If you want to, you can stay. If you don't want to, you can leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, several ghosts looked at each other with unconcealable joy in their eyes.
"Keep us safe for a year? Then our reincarnation will be stable!"
"That's right. Judging from your majesty, you are very powerful. He is obviously an important person in Hades. With his protection, nothing will happen to us!"
"Although I am already eighty years old, I only have the last year left. I don't want to break the rules at this last moment and be unable to be reincarnated."
"Sir, we are willing to help!"
"We do!"
For these ghosts who are about to expire, the conditions proposed by Zhang Hao are undoubtedly a huge temptation, and they will naturally not refuse.
Zhang Hao looked at them and continued:
"Okay, since you agreed, let's do it well. Follow this pattern and carve this symbol all over the coffin, as well as every bluestone brick and every door nail!"
"Every doornail must be engraved with the Great General's Talisman."
"Every coffin must have an evil charm on it."
"Each bluestone brick must be engraved with an order to ward off evil spirits."
"After completion, you can stay in my Yin Yang Inn until the end of your Yin age."
The ghosts looked at each other, hesitant. After a while, one of them asked weakly:
"Sir, we are all ghosts, these spells will directly suppress us to death."
"We..."
Zhang Hao waved his hand and explained:
"You just need to carve out the shape so that the spell has no power and you will not be harmed."
The reason why these ghosts were allowed to do these tedious tasks was because the spells they carved were not powerful.
Finally, Zhang Hao needs to attract spirits to these spells in order to exert their power.
Just like the previous drawing of the fourth-grade Zhengqin official position, after incorporating spiritual energy, the power of the spell will be greatly enhanced.
Although the power of the talismans drawn by the ghosts is far less than that drawn by Zhang Hao himself, the main power of the coffin guard array lies in the combination of talismans.
As long as the formation is correct, even if the power of the spell is slightly weak, the corpse can be firmly suppressed.
After hearing Zhang Hao's explanation, the ghosts finally felt relieved.
Immediately afterwards, they began to carve charms on the coffin, the stone bricks of the walls, and the door nails.
In less than an hour, all the tasks assigned by Zhang Hao were completed.
Afterwards, Zhang Hao stood in the center of the morgue, stood with one hand on his chest, made seals and whispered softly:
"The laws of heaven are pure and clear, and the laws of earth are spirited."
"Capture the aura of heaven and earth, and bind the spirit to the invisible!"
"Go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally dark night became darker, and a faint fluorescent light lit up in the morgue.
These fluorescent lights seemed to be alive, scattered into countless pieces, and then fell on the charms engraved on the ghosts.
When the fluorescence and the spell were perfectly integrated, an extremely depressing atmosphere suddenly enveloped the morgue.
Those who are in it feel as if they are carrying two mountains on their shoulders.
And all the talismans were connected together at this time, forming a coffin guard array in the morgue.
The pallbearing array changed from fluorescent light to red light, and then turned on three times before going quiet.
The morgue has also returned to its previous appearance, without the frightening sense of pressure.
"Now every coffin is engraved with runes and spells, and the spells are connected to form a coffin guarding array. Although this array is not top-notch, it can still be considered a great achievement."
"Presumably even if an intruder comes in and opens the coffin, the corpse inside will not be able to escape the suppression of the spell."
"Unless someone is stupid enough to take the body out of the coffin."
Zhang Hao shook his head, walked to the door and took another look into the morgue.
He discovered that there was a faint presence of underworld power in the morgue.
You must know that the corpse has not been treated by spiritualism. If it is disturbed by ghosts, it will easily transform into a corpse.
But now that there are underworld powers in the morgue, ordinary lonely ghosts don't dare to step into this morgue.
Unless there is a ghost at the level of the Yin Commander in the underworld, he will not be able to withstand this kind of underworld power.
Just like when Zhang Qilin rushed to Sanjiashan Village before, he encountered that shady person on the way.
Zhang Qilin used the power of the General Talisman to directly frighten Yin Chai, so that Yin Chai could not even lift his head.
This is the terror of Mingwei towards the ghosts.
"With this coffin guard formation, the most worrying point can finally be put down." Zhang Hao thought to himself, "But... now that we have the golden coffin, where to find the emperor's corpse is a problem?" He muttered. He groaned, then shook his head, glanced at the morgue again, and walked back to his room.
……
Early the next morning, it was just dawn. Zhang Qilin looked very tired all night because of practicing spiritualism yesterday. That fatigue comes from the exhaustion of the soul.
So today it was rare that he didn't get up early to practice the ancient black gold sword outside the village.
At this time, Zhang Qilin had just put on his clothes when he heard Hao Xie's voice coming from outside the house:
"I'll go! What's going on?"
"Our morgue has changed!"
Then I heard Fatty Wang’s voice again, his voice full of disbelief:
"I'll go, Fatty, did I sleep so well last night?"
"I didn't even know about the decoration team coming to our inn?"
"No way! This...could it be done by Zhang Hao again?"
"How did he accomplish such a large amount of work?"
Zhang Qilin was standing by the window in the room, frowning slightly and looking outside with confusion.
He didn't know what was going on outside, but it must have something to do with the morgue. So he walked out of the door.
He saw Hao Xie and Fatty Wang standing at the door of the morgue and approached them.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the morgue seemed to have been rebuilt, and the sense of dilapidation of the past was gone.
"I'll go, there's a golden coffin!" Fatty Wang looked at the golden coffin in shock and couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue, "Hao Xie, as a member of the upper class, explain to me how much this golden coffin is worth. ! ”
"Bah! Who is in the upper class?" Hao Xie glanced at Fatty Wang angrily, then turned to look at the golden coffin, shook his head and continued, "This golden coffin can't be bought if it doesn't cost 70 to 80 million yuan, right?"
"The current market price of one gram of gold is more than 260."
"One kilogram of gold is worth about 130,000 yuan!"
"A solid wood coffin weighs more than 200 kilograms. If you change it to a gold coffin, it will weigh 500 kilograms, right?"
"Well, almost, sixty or seventy million!"
Fatty Wang's eyes were suddenly filled with golden light, and he almost shed tears when he looked at the golden coffin. After a while, he couldn't help but said:
"Oh my god! If this were converted into money, why would I have to work hard in this life?"
"But how come our little brother Zhang Hao is so rich all of a sudden?"
"Do you think this coffin is gold-plated?"
“But gold plating is quite expensive!”
"Tsk tsk...and that black gold coffin! Crystal coffin! Hey, how much do you think that ice coffin is worth?"
"..."
Zhang Qilin glanced at the morgue at this time. Although he was surprised to see the golden coffin, that was because if the inn had a golden coffin, there might be emperor-level corpses among the corpses expelled in the future.
But now there are very few people coming to their Yin Yang Inn to place orders, let alone entrusting a task of this level?
At the same time, Zhang Qilin also discovered that in just one night, not only the coffin had changed in the morgue, but also the walls, floors, and doors. The spells on those bluestone bricks cannot escape Zhang Qilin's eyes now.
He was also a master of talismans, and he could identify at a glance that those coffins and stone slabs were engraved with the Great General Talisman.
What is even more surprising is that when these general talismans are combined, they actually form a formation to protect the coffin.
Zhang Qilin saw this scene for the first time and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, this is really a big deal!" He sighed sincerely.
"With these charms, the preservation of corpses can be said to be foolproof!"
Of course, this does not mean that the preservation of corpses in morgues is absolutely safe.
If there is a particularly powerful corpse, it is still possible to break free. But how many corpses of that level are there in the world?
At this time, the noise in the yard caught Zhang Hao's attention. He had just woken up from his sleep, walked out of the room, saw a few people gathered together, and asked with a smile: "What are everyone looking at?"
Hearing Zhang Hao's voice, Fatty Wang came over curiously and asked: "Brother Zhang Hao, is this your masterpiece again? How did you do it? No matter how deep I sleep, I shouldn't not be able to hear you. The sound of construction at Yin Yang Inn?”
Hao Xie also looked at Zhang Hao with a blank expression, and nodded to express the same curiosity.
Zhang Hao waved his hands and said relaxedly: "What's so difficult about this? I found a few ghosts to help. This small amount of work was completed in just an hour. Don't underestimate the power of the ghosts. They are very slow when doing things. Very efficient.”
Hao Xie, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin looked at each other with confusion and surprise in their eyes.
"Looking for Yinhun to do the work? Finished it in an hour? Isn't this too efficient?" They looked at Zhang Hao dumbfounded, thinking that this ability was too unbelievable, right? Can you actually capture ghosts and use them as coolies?
"Brother Zhang Hao, why are those ghosts so obedient?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Hao smiled and explained: "Money can make ghosts go around. You must have heard of this truth, right? I promise these ghosts that I will keep them for one year, and they will not be killed by other ghosts during this year." Intrusion. The ghosts who came to work in the inn yesterday were all ghosts who were about to be reincarnated as soon as their Yin age was reached, so they all wanted to spend the last period of time safely. Work very hard ”
Hao Xie and others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Is this the correct way to use ghosts? It's too fierce! The morgue was like this in an hour! I have to learn spiritualism! This trick So practical! ”
Zhang Hao put away his smile, looked at Hao Xie seriously and said: "This is just the tip of the iceberg of spiritualism. If you think that spiritualism is just about finding a few ghosts to do work, then you are totally wrong. It's better to be careful. Study the book I gave you! ”
Hao Xie realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly nodded to express regret, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang made sense. By the way, Shopkeeper Zhang, what should I do with these ten corpses?"
Zhang Hao glanced at the morgue, frowned and said, "These ten corpses are nameless. I have to figure out their origins. Only after knowing their origins can they be sent back. But this will take a few days. At that time, you or Zhang Qilin may be needed to deliver the body. Let’s discuss this later.”
Hao Xie nodded in agreement and said that he wanted to practice the paper-tying technique first, because there were still many things he didn't understand about the secret art of paper-tying and needed to study it.
Zhang Hao nodded in agreement and asked them to go about their own business.
Then he asked Fatty Wang how the wound was, and Fatty Wang said it was no longer as painful as yesterday, and there was no rejection reaction.
Zhang Hao nodded and said: "It seems that you are more suitable for this tattoo. Give it a day or two to get used to it, and then I will tattoo the complete pattern on you!"
Fatty Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly expressed his expectation.
He may not know that this tattoo is a totem passed down from ancient times. There may be rejection reactions when tattooed on a person, but if not, it means that this tattoo has chosen this person.
After this person obtains this ancient totem, he can exert the power in the totem.
Seeing that Fatty Wang was fine, Zhang Hao agreed to complete his tattoo in the afternoon.
Fatty Wang laughed when he heard it and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that there was nothing going on in the inn, Zhang Qilin walked outside the village and continued to practice the ancient black gold sword.
He also thought about continuing to study spiritualism, but since it was daytime, the effect of practicing spiritualism would be greatly reduced, and it was difficult to recruit ghosts during the day.
As for Hao Xie, he was planning to make another paper man, but suddenly he heard his cell phone ringing.
He glanced at the screen and found that the call was from Huo Xiuer. (End of chapter)
