Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 112 Human God?

A sudden accident forced the team to change their action plan.

But that doesn't mean they have to leave the pagoda.

On the one hand, the current Buddha statue still has the effect of suppressing the evil spirits and weirdness in Jingjiang Town, and it will take time for Zhao Qianwu to recover from his injuries. At least for now, the pagoda is still a good refuge.

On the other hand, even if they finally adopted Yu Zhen's suggestion, they had to make sure that the pagoda could last for a while, otherwise they would have to face many evil spirits and weirdness when they were smashed by many evil spirits on the Ghost Festival.

Time comes to afternoon.

Yan Jing stood in front of the window sill in the corridor on the second floor, watching the rain that was expanding again outside.

The expected pursuit still did not appear, which made him feel more and more wrong.

What exactly is He Jianbing doing?
Knowing that Zhao Ganwu had basically lost his fighting power in a short period of time, this time should be a good opportunity to attack, Yan Jing had even thought about how to deal with He Jianbing once he arrived at the pagoda with all the evil spirits and weirdness.

In fact, he somewhat expected He Jianbing to come.

The remaining power in the pagoda can help them suppress the evil spirits, and this will be one of their few chances to fight back.

Enemies that hide in the dark like poisonous snakes are undoubtedly more disturbing.

Looking down at the cracked Buddha's head in his hand, he recalled the changes it had made at midnight last night and the abilities it displayed today.

Since it can defend against evil energy, it should be a precious item.

Why does it have to be made in this style, and it can also show a wicked appearance.
"Luo Daochang, I need your assistance."

Yu Zhen's shout came from behind, which interrupted Yan Jing's thinking, turned around and looked down, and saw her standing in the hall and then shouted,

"I'm going to conduct a test on the sealing formation in the pagoda, and I need someone to assist!"

Yu Ke is assisting Zhao Ganwu to treat the wound for the second time to ensure that there will be no wound infection, and Yan Jing is still idle in the tower.

It happened that Yan Jing also wanted to see what the sealing circle in the pagoda looked like, so he nodded decisively in response.

Follow Yu Zhen into a room inside the pagoda, where there are stairs leading to the underground space of the pagoda.

The two held torches each, and where the light of the fire touched, fine dust particles were scattered.

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon, and in eleven hours it will be the Ghost Festival. According to the monks, when the local officials will forgive sins, the power of the Buddha statue will be weakened, and the three-headed evil spirits that were once sealed here will come back." Take the opportunity to lead other monsters to attack the pagoda."

Walking halfway, Yu Zhen talked about what might happen next, paused, and then said,
"I set up some magic circles around the pagoda this morning, originally to deal with monsters, but now there is an extra He Jianbing. If I want to strengthen the defense of the pagoda, I can only do my best to repair the sealing circle. "

"I remember you said yesterday that there is not much time left, is there still time?"

Of course Yan Jing also knew that repairing the sealing formation would play a big role, so she couldn't help asking.

"No, you misunderstood what I said. The seal formation in the pagoda was severely damaged and the materials were insufficient. It is impossible for a few of us to complete the repair within a dozen hours."

"Then what you just said."

"The restoration I'm talking about is trying to restore the underground sealing array, rubbing it down, and then making a small sealing array in other places that doesn't require so many materials and exquisite arrangements."

Yu Zhen took out a scroll from her torch space, looked at Yan Jing and said,

"It may not be able to completely suppress evil spirits like the original version, but it can weaken their abilities and increase the chances of winning for our actions."

"Sounds good, why didn't you say it last night?"

"Before I wasn't sure if it could be restored. I didn't complete a part of the test until this morning, and even if it is an improved version, it still consumes a lot of things and meets certain conditions."

While talking, the two had already reached the bottom of the stairs, and it was still Yu Zhen who walked ahead holding the torch high.

Seeing the surrounding situation clearly by the firelight, Yan Jing couldn't help showing a little surprise in his eyes.

The underground space of the pagoda is far more magnificent than he imagined.

After all, the part on the ground is an ordinary three-story pagoda, which is still a dilapidated version.

However, when he got here, Yan Jing suddenly realized that the underground space might be the essence of the entire pagoda.

Within tens of meters that the fire can illuminate.

There are Buddha statues or Arhat statues in various postures, each of which is extremely finely carved and arranged according to specific rules. Under the light of the fire, they seem to be soldiers on duty here, with solemn treasures.

But with the steps forward, Yan Jing soon noticed that quite a few of the Arhat statues were damaged or even collapsed.

"These arhat statues should be the eyes of the formation, and the formation disk is under our feet. Daoist Luo, this box is spirit crystals. I need you to place them on each of the arhat statues. There must be no mistakes or omissions."

Handing the wooden box full of spars the size of a thumb to Yan Jing, Yu Zhen himself took out a brass object that looked like a compass.

Yan Jing looked at Yu Zhen in surprise.

These props in her hands are obviously not what a person who only dabbles in combat should have.

There is no doubt that Yu Zhen should have expertise in formations, and he was just hiding his clumsiness before.

Arranging spirit crystals according to Yu Zhen's request, and walking around holding torches, Yan Jing's eyes also turned from the surrounding arhat statues to the array array under his feet, which was at least hundreds of square meters in size.

Although the range illuminated by the torch was limited, Yan Jing still noticed that the surface of the array was not the imaginary lines or spiritual pathways, but a drawing on the floor for a moment.

The content looks like a "gathering" of Buddhas, and the central area is a statue of Buddha sitting upright, as if performing some kind of ceremony.

Yan Jing really didn't have much research on Buddhism, so he could only write down the general content of the drawing for the time being, and was going to go back and look it up according to the Buddhist scriptures.

"By the way, you just said that the improved version of the magic circle needs to meet some conditions to be applied. What is it?"

Putting a spirit crystal into the eye frame of the Arhat statue, Yan Jing asked Yu Zhen who was already meditating and unfolding the scroll on the other side.

"One is the need for manpower to do the initial layout. Although there is no need for Arhat statues, at least there must be substitutes as the eyes of the formation. Second, and the most important point, as the core of the operation of the formation, it needs to be able to generate damage to the evil spirits. The will to suppress the effect!"

Putting the compass in the center of the scroll, Yu Zhen pointed to the ceiling and patiently explained,

"The reason why the sealing array was built directly under the Buddha statue is precisely because the vow power accumulated by the Buddha statue itself is the core required for the operation of the entire magic circle. If this condition cannot be achieved, no matter how close we improve it, it will have no effect. .”

"The problem is that the monk above said that the remaining vow power in the Buddha statue has disappeared all these years, and whether we can use it or not, even if there is a way, the stupa where the vow power has been drawn will be completely destroyed. If you lose the ability to suppress evil spirits, this place will be trampled down by them immediately!"

After hearing Yu Zhen's plan, Yan Jing was rather disappointed.

If the premise of arranging the improved sealing array is to destroy the pagoda, then the arrangement they made here is completely meaningless.

"What if a new source of wish power can be collected?"

Yu Zhen asked suddenly.

"Do you have a solution?"

Raising his eyebrows lightly, Yan Jing asked.

"According to my observations, most of the residents of Jingjiang Town's worship of evil spirits does not come from their personal beliefs or moral values, let alone their whole-hearted devotion, but more from their inability to resist authority and the special environment. influences."

When it comes to her own professional field, Yu Zhen talks eloquently.

"Say something I can understand."

"The worship of evil by the people of Jingjiang town is nothing more than two factors, fear and the environment. We can't change the environment. After all, we are also under the influence of intellectual erosion, so only fear remains. I want to do a test."

Putting up two fingers and retracting one, Yu Zhen stared at Yan Jing, his eyes shone with a strange light under the light of the fire, and what he had to say was a bit like the eyes of a scientific researcher looking at a mouse,

"Since evil spirits can convince the townspeople through fear, can humans do it?"

"Hey, you don't mean to"

"According to the monk, the power of vows comes from the devout prayers of the people. This should be impossible for human beings, because human beings are only human after all. They cannot be enshrined by other people as gods, nor can they be transformed and extracted. This kind of power, just like those evil spirits can't use this power even if they are worshiped, at most they are bewitching the townspeople to meet their needs."

Pointing to the scroll and compass in front of him, Yu Zhen continued,

"You're different. Last night you fought Hebo in front of the townspeople and won. You twisted its head off and kicked it as a ball. With that last remark, maybe you just wanted to end them in this way. evil ritual, but for those people, this is an order to order the new He Bo!"

Speaking of this, Yu Zhen's meaning could not be clearer.

With the help of the special environment created by Xie Chong and the sealing array, Yan Jing is the core of operation. As long as he can receive the wish power from the townspeople, even if he doesn't know how to use it, he can still activate the sealing array!

"I don't think a few words can tell them to do something."

Yan Jing still thinks that Yu Zhen's ideas are somewhat divorced from reality.

"Based on the current situation, this is undoubtedly a method worth trying. As for whether it will be successful, we will have to try it."

Yu Zhen made a seal with her hands on her chest, and the arhat statues around her were shining with aura.

No longer talking to Yan Jing, Yu Zhen recited an obscure mantra in a low voice.

In an instant, the spiritual crystals that Yan Jing placed on the statues of Arhats glowed brightly, and they were connected to each other to form a formation in a short time.

The scroll and compass were suspended in mid-air, and the mysterious magic circle spread and covered the entire underground space.

Yan Jing looked up at the fantastic scene in front of her, thinking about the feasibility of what Yu Zhen said just now.

Have to admit.

Given the current situation they are facing, they really need to consider any method that can increase their chances of winning.
