I followed behind Second Uncle and carried the wooden stick all the way to the old house. Many villagers who were idle at home came to watch the construction site. After all, Second Uncle used to not let anyone demolish the old house. Today, the villagers came to watch the commotion.
"Brother Lu, you're here." The middle-aged man who developed the tourist village came up to me and handed a cigarette to my second uncle. There was an unconcealable joy in the corner of his eyes. He immediately said,"Brother Lu, tell me, how do you want to tear it down?”
" Yes," Second Uncle replied calmly." Start from the east, then move southeast, south, southwest, and west. There are eight demolitions in total. After the walls are removed, it will be fine. Don't touch the roof. Just remove the walls."”
"Alright, we'll do as you say." The middle-aged man didn't hesitate and went to explain to the driver of the excavator.
Second Uncle turned around and looked at the villagers behind him. Then, he ignored them and walked to my side."The roof is the sky of a house, and the main beam is the pillar that holds up the sky. The people who live in the house will also have smooth sailing. Although the Human Puppet is already damaged, the curse that you and Zi Yan's Yin soul used to borrow their lives is still there. However, you are no longer absorbing her Yin lifespan, but she is also absorbing your Yang lifespan. Thus, this beam of lifespan cannot be destroyed.”
Hearing Second Uncle's words, I nodded in understanding.
The demolition work began. They started from the east. The demolition workers were obviously very experienced and moved very quickly. In about half an hour, with a loud bang, the entire roof fell off and the old house turned into ruins.
The middle-aged man walked over and asked about the next work. Second Uncle narrowed his eyes and said,"Next, I'll have to trouble you to set up a cordon. Don't let anyone approach for a week. After a week, you'll decide how to build it.”
"Do we still have to wait a week?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly, but he immediately felt relieved."That's fine. We've waited for so many days, so it's not a big deal to wait for a while. Then, Brother Lu, I'll get someone to put up a guard.”
"Sorry to trouble you." Second Uncle nodded slightly.
The police cordon was pulled up. The middle-aged man instructed the villagers who were watching the fun. Not long after, the crowd dispersed. The middle-aged man also left with the construction team, saying that he would take over the work in a week.
After everyone left, only Second Uncle and I were left.
" Xiao Li," Second Uncle said." Stick the black wooden sticks around the ruins in the order that you tore down the wall. Then, stick the red wooden sticks behind the black wooden sticks at a distance of one meter."”
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't understand the reason for doing this, but I still did as Second Uncle said. I thought about the order in which I tore down the wall and inserted the sixteen thin rods into the ground. After doing all this, I returned to Second Uncle's side.
"Red is Li, and its nature is fire. Black is Kan, and its nature is water. Fire outside and water inside is Upper Li and Lower Kan. This is one of the sixty-four hexagrams.”
"That's it?" I looked at everything in front of me and was a little dumbfounded. It was just a few wooden sticks inserted into the ground and they had already formed a formation. Was this curse technique so simple?
Second Uncle chuckled and said,""This is the terrifying part of curses. Simple things can cause mysterious effects, but that's not enough. You have to match it with an incantation. However, it's still early.”
"Then shall we go back now?" I asked.
Second Uncle patted me on the shoulder." Go back and have a good rest after dinner. You'll be busy tonight."”
I didn't dare to be careless after hearing Second Uncle's words, but I still had many questions in my heart. As I walked, I said,"Second Uncle, then why are my clothes in the Longevity Beam?”
Second Uncle raised his eyes slightly and said softly," Zi Yan's human puppet is sealed in the Shou Liang. She is a Yin spirit and her Yin life is possessed by you. Therefore, to break the seal that Shou Liang placed on her, you can only use your things. She first took your Yang Essence and then used your clothes to break the seal.”
I immediately thought of the night of passion with Jessica last night. My face immediately turned red. Second Uncle saw this and smiled lightly."It's nothing. What you experienced last night was just the illusion of Zi Yan's dark soul. Her dark soul was sealed in the beam of life, so she could only use the illusion to confuse you. However, it seems that she had a plan long ago and seized the opportunity for you to come back.”
"So, Second Uncle, you went to the graveyard to check on the human puppets last night.”
Second Uncle nodded." You established a relationship with Zi Yan on the day when the Yin Qi was at its peak during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Therefore, I would call you back every year to stabilize the curse between the two of you. It was fine for the past few years. I thought that her Yin Spirit had surrendered, but I didn't expect something to happen this year.”
"I see. I understand now.”
Knowing this, I followed Second Uncle back home to have dinner and quietly waited for the night to come.
It was said that the moon on the 15th was 16th round. This was true. The bright moon was like a jade plate, emitting a gentle glow that brought light to the night. It was nine o'clock, and the villagers always went to bed early. Soon, the entire village was silent.
Second Uncle and I went out to the old house. The sixteen thin sticks quietly inserted into the ground looked a little strange.
"I'll start the formation first." Second Uncle instructed me to stand behind him. Then, Second Uncle pinched his fingers and chanted an incantation,"Red clouds rise from the sky and black soil appears on the ground. I respectfully invite the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the seven stars of the Big Dipper to trap evil spirits with fire and water. I obey the orders of the Supreme Lord.”
As the incantation began, a strange phenomenon appeared. The eight thin rods emitted a strange red light as they spread towards the ruins of the old mansion. The eight thin black rods simultaneously flashed with a blue light as they layered on top of each other like waves of water. It was extremely beautiful.
Second Uncle took out the Blood Bone Blade and gestured for me to extend my hand. I immediately felt helpless that the Blood Bone Blade was extremely sharp. Although the wound wasn't deep, it was very painful. I had no choice but to extend my right hand and cut open the wound that hadn't scabbed for long.
The blade of the bone and blood blade that was stuck to my blood flashed with a demonic red light. I saw Second Uncle raise the bone and blood blade and mutter,"Bone as the hilt, blood as the blade. I use my bones and blood to split Yin and Yang, separating the boundary between human and ghost.”
Second Uncle slashed with the Blood Bone Saber, and a strange scene appeared. The ruins of the old mansion disappeared, and only a pitch-black wooden beam stood horizontally. The left side was pitch-black, and the right side was gray. There was a faint white figure flashing within, making people shudder.
"This is…?" I looked at the scene in front of me in shock. Second Uncle opened his mouth and said,"On the right is the Underworld that contains wandering souls and wild ghosts. Zi Yan's Yin soul must be hidden there.”
I didn't dare to hesitate after hearing Second Uncle's words. I hurriedly ran into the range of the sixteen wooden sticks and carefully stepped on the beam.
When he stood on the beam, a bone-piercing coldness came from his right side. It was as if the cold wind of winter could pierce through one's skin and transmit the coldness to the bones. However, the left side was extremely normal.
"Second Uncle, what is this?" My voice was trembling as I spoke. The coldness seemed to be freezing my right side.
"Lightning from the sky, wood from the earth, lightning wood, life fire, life fire to protect the three souls! Heavenly Fire Descent!"
Second Uncle cast another spell and saw a purple lightning bolt explode in the sky. At the same time, I felt a heat on my head.
"Earth fire." Second Uncle cast the spell, and immediately, his right shoulder felt a warmth that dispelled the coldness.
"Life Fire, release."
For the third time, I felt a heat on my left shoulder. The coldness that seemed to be able to freeze me previously no longer existed. I turned my head to look at my left shoulder in surprise and realized that nothing had appeared.
At this moment, Second Uncle said," Xiao Li, I've already activated the three Life Fires of Heaven, Earth, and Man in your body. To your right is the Underworld, a world where wandering souls and wild ghosts live. You must remember not to let yourself fall into the Underworld. Now, I'm going to activate your soul and soul to leave your body and enter the Underworld to find where Zi Yan is.”
"Second Uncle, don't worry." I hurriedly said. At the same time, I hurriedly stabilized my body. The beam under my feet wasn't small, but it was circular in shape, so it was very difficult to stand on.
Second Uncle instructed me once more. He immediately put away the Blood Bone Saber, bit his middle finger, and began to chant an incantation.
"The sunrise the Yin Mountain. I follow the immortal master to guide the soul. One soul is hidden in the Heavenly Aperture, and the other soul is hidden in the Heart Aperture. One body can accommodate two souls and one aperture can accommodate two souls. Order!"
Second Uncle's middle finger quickly turned into nothingness, and a blood red mark appeared. I couldn't help but look over, and immediately felt dizzy. I was so scared that I hurriedly shook my head to regain my senses and stabilize my footing.
