Seeing the lights on the river bank, Hu Duan Gong asked the monkey to dock the boat.

??After the boat docked, Hu Duan Gong quickly jumped up with the compass, and the water monkey and I followed closely behind.

??The black shadows that followed stirred the river and swallowed the corpse-fishing ship directly.

??It was already midnight, and the villagers watching the excitement on the river bank had already left. There were only eight selected men left on the shore, the old village chief and the families of several dead villagers.

??All men, no women.

??When seeing the monkey's corpse-catching ship being swallowed by the river, the old village chief hurried over and asked what was going on.

??Hong Hu Duan asked him not to worry about this and asked the village chief to prepare quickly and go ashore immediately after he died.

??I heard that he fell to the shore when he died, the old village chief showed a shocked expression.

??Next, Hu Duan Gong held the compass and continued to shine into the river, attracting the black shadows in the water with the red light on the compass.

??The red light became weaker and weaker, but the black shadow was still attracted, and he was wandering more than ten feet away from the shore and refused to leave.

??The old village chief knew the seriousness of the matter, and called the eight men selected aside and said something. I could see that the eight people showed fear, but in the end they were all convinced by the old village chief.

??The old village chief asked those relatives who refused to leave first, saying that the Hu Duan Guild was here to summon souls, and they were easily entangled by the unjust souls of the deceased.

??These relatives were just ordinary people. When they heard that they wanted to summon souls, they didn't dare to stay here, so they returned to Baita Village together.

??The only ones who stayed behind were the old village chief, his two sons, and the eight men.

??At this time, the old village chief walked up to Mr. Hu Duan and said that he was ready. Mr. Hu turned his head and said to me, "Qin Jue, come and hold the compass and stand in my current position."

??I took the compass from him and felt a burning sensation as soon as I started. The compass should have been cold, but now it seems like I am holding a ball of red charcoal.

??I don’t know if it’s because I’ve dripped blood, but holding the compass gives me a very strange feeling. It’s like I’m holding a shield that can resist all dangers for me and make me feel at ease.

??After Hu Duan handed me the compass, he immediately went to find the eight people.

??First let the man take off all his shirts, and then use the prepared brush cinnabar to draw a talisman on their front, chest and back.

??The talismans drawn by everyone are different, with the yang talisman on the front chest and the back of the yin talisman.

??Yang Talisman and Yin Talisman are all changed from the Yang and Yin Talismans in the Eight Trigrams. Now these eight people have become the array talismans of the Eight Trigrams.

??After drawing the talisman, Hu Duan Gong gave each of them another Qin half tael and asked them to hold it in their mouths.

??After doing this, Hu Duan Gong began to speculate on the time of the star position, and led these eight people to stand around me into a nine palace and eight trigram formation.

??As soon as the formation was formed, I immediately felt the changes in my body with my powerful spiritual sense.

??Every pore in my body seemed to be opened, and mysterious and unknown energy kept pouring into my body through the opened pores.

??The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation belongs to Qimen Dunjia in the path of Yin and Yang. It uses Jiazi as the time symbol and the Eight Trigrams as the space symbol. Then the two are linked by some laws to form a mysterious space that can integrate time and space into one, including heaven, earth, man, and nature as one.

??The person who set up the array can use this mysterious space to predict what is going to happen, or use the energy generated by the mysterious space to achieve the goal.

??I used to know that Hu Duan Gong was proficient in Feng Shui, but I didn’t expect that he would use the Qimen Dunjia secret technique to set up the formation.

In ancient times, Qimen Dunjia was mainly used in military affairs, also known as the study of emperors. It is difficult for ordinary practitioners to get to know the mystery of this aspect. In Xuanmen, considering the sign of the strength of a sect is to see how powerful the magic array of this sect is.

??At this moment, I became confused about Hu Duan Gong’s identity.

There are many people who understand Qimen Dunjia, but few people who can really use it to set up arrays and can indeed mobilize the energy of magic arrays.

Since he has such ability, why would he stay in Baishi Town to be a little Duan Gong?

Thinking about what he taught me before, many of the explanations sounded much more sophisticated than the author of the original book, it can be seen that his understanding of the way of Yin and Yang is definitely beyond the level that a Duan Gong should have.

??Not only did I doubt Hu Duan Gong’s identity, after setting up the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, the look of the water monkey looking at Hu Duan Gong also seemed to be a little strange.

??The formation changes with time, Hu Duan Gong is constantly adjusting the positions of these eight people.

?? "Qin Jue, another drop of blood was dropped onto the compass." Hu Duan Gong said loudly.

?? Hearing his words, I broke the wound on my finger and dripped another drop of blood towards the compass, and the compass suddenly shone red again.

??The river water began to surge, and the eight originally stationary vortexes began to move towards the river bank.

??When I was about five feet away from the river bank, I saw a person's head vaguely revealing from the vortex, but at this moment, I died and stopped moving again.

??The King of the Yellow River cannot do without the river water, and it will not go ashore even at night.

?? "Qin Jue, continue." Hu Duan Gong said again.

??This time, I directly pressed my injured middle finger on the compass.

??The blood flowed out of my body and was absorbed by the compass.

The red light became stronger and stronger, and the compass gradually became hotter.

??The river water began to roll again, as if it was boiling. When it was shining with red light, it looked like rolling blood.

??The eight vortexes in the water continued to move forward, and the dead heads in the vortex rose higher and higher, gradually revealing human faces.

??The face was blue and his eyes were closed.

The hair is stranded against the scalp, and there is also mud and sand and water plants on it.

??Their bodies had long been soaked in the river water, and their flesh had peeled off in some places, revealing their gloomy bones.

At the dark and gloomy midnight, eight dead people carried a black coffin and walked towards the shore step by step.

Faced with such a strange situation, the courage given to me by the compass began to weaken, and my heart became more and more panicked. Listening to the clamor of water, my heartbeat was like a drum.

?? Finally, the two in front fell to the shore, leaving two deep footprints in the mud on the ground.

No one stopped them, and all the deaths behind them went ashore one after another, and the black coffin they were carrying officially left the water surface.

The red light on the compass shone straight on the gloomy and weird black coffin, dyeing the coffin blood red.

After he fell to the ashore, he paused for a while, and then he carried the blood-red coffin toward me step by step.

??When I died and was only about two feet away from me, with Hu Duan Gong’s order, the eight men who set up the formation quickly evacuated from me.

?? Without the protection of the formation, fear swept across my body like a tide, and my body began to tremble involuntarily.

Seeing the dying step by step, I don’t know how long I can hold on.

The compass in my hand became hotter and hotter, so hot that I could no longer bear it. When I died and was only one meter away from me, I finally let go of my hand.

The compass fell to the ground with a bang, and by chance it was just turned upside down on the ground, and the red light was cut off in an instant.

Losing the source of the red light, the pace of death came to an abrupt end.
