One hundred and ten, Preparing Formation

  Everyone's eyes were on him, and he was already in a difficult situation. However, he didn't dare to lose face, so he gritted his teeth and sucked the snake bite wound several times until the blood turned red. Luckily, he didn't turn into a sausage mouth or charcoal face, but only had slightly blackened lips, indicating that he had only been infected with a small amount of venom.

  However, as he stood up, his body was slightly unstable and swayed a bit before being supported by someone beside him. Ah Qiang shook his head again and put on the captain's demeanor, loudly saying to the crowd: "We continue searching, striving to find the body before nightfall, then we'll find a few more people to send Er Gouzi back."

  A crowd of people quietly dispersed and began searching again, but just delayed for a while, the original place where the crowd was looking had become indistinguishable. In this way, some places were missed, such as a small mountain ditch not far from the crowd, which was ignored by them.

  And at the bottom of the ditch, there were several dead dog corpses lying in a circle, and in the middle of the dog corpses, there was a lump of something that had become blurred with blood and flesh, like rotten meat.

  This is the missing corpse. To know that the corpse of this horse thief is not an ordinary corpse, this horse thief had been eating five poisons and drinking misty water before his death, so there was a considerable amount of toxin in his body. The toxic meat was eaten by wild dogs, which naturally did not survive.

  One person found the sky to be slightly dark, but there was no result, and they all returned to the town with some shaking of their heads and sighs. Bai Yu returned to Jiu Shu's courtyard, coincidentally running into Jiu Shu who had also just returned. Although Jiu Shu said he went to find someone, it seemed that person had already been found by A Qiang. Jiu Shu didn't continue searching, but it was unknown where he went, and now he had finally returned.

  "Brother Dao, where have you been? How come it's taken until now for you to return?"

  Jiu Shu sighed and said, "I went around the town's perimeter just now and found that there is a malignant aura brewing on the outskirts of the town. It must be the corpse of that bandit Ma. With its current momentum, it will become a vengeful spirit by tomorrow. Given its ferocity, I'm afraid we'll have a hard time dealing with it."

  Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yes, to have a complete grasp of the situation and counterattack, one must be at the level of a Sect Master." However, in his heart, he was not very worried, knowing that Ninth Uncle would use the ancestral dust-sweeping broom passed down by their ancestors to eliminate the ghostly evil.

  Ninth Uncle's face turned somewhat solemn as he said, "Tomorrow we'll continue searching from where we left off yesterday. If by then we still can't find it, I'll have to go ask Ancestor Master for a treasure map, but unless absolutely necessary, I'd rather not do that, after all, disturbing him would be impolite. It seems that if I had learned more array techniques in the past, I wouldn't be so passive now."

  Bai Yu was taken aback and said: "What, Brother Dao has a weakness in his array?"

  At this time, Ninth Uncle saw Bai Yu and asked him. He suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and said: "Don't be deceived by my friend, I thought that in the past, my research on the formation path was not deep. At that time, I was young and felt that it was not the great way, so I didn't work hard. Now thinking about it is quite funny."

  Bai Yu suddenly had an epiphany and smiled: "Brother Dao, it seems I have a way now."

  "Oh?" Ninth Uncle felt a sense of wonder and said: "I don't know what method you have? Please tell me quickly."

  Bai Yu Dao said, "Not to hide from my senior brother, not long ago I inadvertently obtained a volume of extraordinary array methods. This array method has an extremely great power and its arrangement is also extraordinary. It seems that now it's time to put it into use."

  Jiu Shu heard this and his curiosity was greatly aroused. He said: "But I don't know how extraordinary this formation is. Can you explain it in detail?"

  Bai Yu sank into thought for a moment before saying, "This formation is actually something I've never seen before. The formations we know of usually use flags, talismans, and other objects to set up the array, but this one is quite unusual. The material used to set up this array is actually living people, using humans as the foundation of the array, and the power released by the formation is boundless."

  Jiu Shu heard this and was shocked, saying: "Using people as the foundation of an array? And its power is boundless?"

  Bai Yu nodded and said, "Not bad, but the most crucial thing is the array eye of this formation. This formation uses an oil lamp as the array eye, and when the formation is activated, it cannot be extinguished at all costs. If someone tries to force their way out of this formation, they will surely invite the ghostly calamity and lose their soul."

  "Good, fellow Taoist. You'd better hurry up and prepare the formation. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll do my best to satisfy you."

  Bai Yu sank into thought for a moment, then said: "Indeed, there is something that requires the Daoist friend to prepare. When this formation is activated, it will require nine people. At that time, these nine people must not be afraid in their hearts, or else all previous efforts will be wasted. Wait until the Daoist friend finds these nine people and I will teach them the method of arranging the formation. In two days' time, when the formation is complete, I will also cast a spell on the side, this ghost will definitely have no return."

  Ninth Uncle nodded and said: "No problem, there are many people in the town, and it's not hard to find nine brave ones. I'll go back tomorrow to make arrangements."

  Then the two of them entered the yard, but just as they arrived at the front door. The scene in front of them was shocking to both of them, because they found that Ah Qiang had fallen down at the entrance. Seeing his apprentice lying on the ground, Jiu Shu's heart became anxious, and he quickly walked over to the door, picked him up and held him in his arms, feeling his pulse for a while before finally letting out a sigh of relief, because Ah Qiang was fine, just a bit dizzy from the snake venom which had caused some fever symptoms.

  Then Ninth Uncle supported A Qiang onto the bed and afterwards he followed Bai Yu out of the room, where they went their separate ways to sleep.

  He arrived at his own house and since it was still early, he hadn't reached the time for rest yet. So he sat cross-legged on the bed again and started to solidify his cultivation once more.

  On the second day, it was still early in the morning when the rooster crowed. After dressing up and going out of the house door, he came to the courtyard. At this time, several people had already gathered in the courtyard. Jiū Shū (ninth uncle) was facing these people and saying something. These people kept nodding and occasionally patted their own chest.

  Jiū Shū Yú Guāng saw Bai Yu come out, turned around and smiled at Bai Yu: "Fellow Taoist, you've found the people you wanted. See if they can satisfy you."

  Looking at the young people in front of him, he found that their mental state was excellent, and it seemed that the courage of these young people was also very strong. He nodded and said: "Good, today I will teach them the formation method." Later, Bai Yu seemed to have thought of something and said: "Brother Dao, do you know how the other two horse bandits were handled?"

  Jiu Shu heard this and was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Not yet, because most people in the town went out to look for bodies yesterday, so they put this matter aside."

  Bai Yu nodded slightly, but in his heart, he was smiling. It seemed that this task wasn't a failure after all, and he still had a chance.

  Then Bai Yu gathered all these people together and began to exchange their formations.

  The formation taught by Bai Yu is actually one of the Tian Shi Zhen obtained in the world of Menggui Academy, and it's also the most powerful one, called - Tian Ji Jiu Lei Zhen.

  This spell was used at the Fierce Ghost Academy, where it made those few police officers who didn't return any law power electrocute a proud black-eyed zombie. Now that this spell is in the hands of someone on the edge who knows magic, it's another kind of power altogether.

  If it were in his hands, this formation would not be limited to defense and unable to attack, as his magical powers could fully manipulate this formation.

  This Tianji Nine Thunder Formation is a formation that requires nine people to work together, but it's not just about having people to complete it, it also needs someone to control it in order to be considered a true formation. Once the formation is set up, it can be used to deploy the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

  In fact, when fighting against the zombies, he had thought of using it, but at that time, time was urgent, and it was not difficult to find a few people with strong courage in a short period of time. However, these few people were completely ignorant of array methods, and they might not even be able to work together in unison.

  To know that in the Fierce Ghost School, Jin Muge and others were threatened with their lives, they could unite to fight against the zombie. However, under normal circumstances, ordinary people who see ghosts or monsters would be frightened, even if they are brave, their minds would go blank, and there would be no thought of resisting?

  Now it is time to make everything clear to everyone and guide their thoughts.

  He cleared his throat and said, "I suppose you all know what's going on by now? To be honest, according to our estimates, if we don't find that corpse today, it will turn into an evil spirit and come here to seek revenge on the people of this town. If we can't stop it, the town will be bathed in blood. That's why we've called you all here. When you see the ghost, no matter how ferocious it looks, you must not show any fear. You should only have one thought: eliminate it."

  After the words on the edge, several people were silent for a moment, and then one person walked out of the team and said: "Dao Chang, we know these things, otherwise we wouldn't have come. Even if it's for our family, even if we die, we must eliminate this ghost. Our wives, children, and elderly are all living here."

  As his words fell, others also echoed, nodding one by one: "That's right, even for the sake of our families, we have to fight desperately."

  Bai Yu nodded and smiled, "You don't have to be so resolute, I'm not sending you to your deaths. You just need to forget your fear at that moment, and the one who will end up dying is that ghost. You must believe me."

  Everyone was stunned at first, but then they let out a sigh of relief. Although they had already mentally prepared themselves, it was still best that they didn't have to die after all.

  Everyone burst out laughing and said: "It's all up to Master Dao's arrangement."
