On another day, grandpa took Hu Dabao to the vicinity of Tianquan and asked him to pick the jade lotus seeds in person. These jade lotus seeds are regarded as rare spiritual objects in the world. After the rhizome is lost, in order to survive, it will actively absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. After letting the jade lotus seeds absorb the essence of Hu Dabao, there will be less resistance to using the jade lotus seeds to accommodate Hu Hui's soul. After all, what Hu Hui cared about most during her lifetime was her father. Hu Dabao doesn't know how to swim. He grew up in the inland, and most people in the inland are landlubbers. But for the sake of his daughter, Hu Dabao went to the water with a pale face and almost risked his life. After choking on the water, Hu Dabao grabbed a large handful of jade lotus seeds and lay on the shore. After a burst of retching, several pieces of kelp came out of his mouth. When it was time, Grandpa asked Hu Dabao to help him chop the jade lotus seeds into pieces according to the pattern he had drawn, and the key was not to break them as much as possible. The Jade Lotus Seed grows about the same size as a sweet potato when it is young, but when it reaches adulthood, it turns into a large disk, but it is not shaped like a flatbread. In terms of its surface outline, It is very similar to the shape of the growth rings inside a big tree after it is cut open. It's just that each round of Jade Lotus Seeds is not completely glued together, but is tied together through small joints. There are seven knots in one round. Once they are all broken, a circle can be made. Come whole Jade Lotus Seeds. An adult jade lotus seed has about 6 to 8 rings in total. The jade lotus seeds were disassembled according to the shape of the circle. Grandpa cut them all neatly along the incisions of the rhizomes. The jade lotus seeds themselves are very soft, just like the ivy on the edge of the cliff. They are soft and strong and can be used to tie heavy objects. Also a good choice. After the jade lotus seeds were opened in circles by his grandfather, he asked Hu Dabao to help him tie all the straight jade lotus seeds into knots. Three circles of jade lotus seeds can be tied to a length of two meters. Grandpa asked him to make a four-meter long one, a total of thirty-two. Hu Dabao kept working hard, and the dry soil on the ground turned the sweat on his face into mud. The two of them fucked from dusk to early morning. When Hu Dabao tied all the thirty-two jade lotus seeds, his waist could hardly stand straight up. Grandpa is not doing much better either. The matter of bringing Hu Hui back to life is no child's play. If one step fails, both of them will face severe punishment from God. Grandpa mixed all the medicinal powders overnight and put them into appropriate containers. After Hu Dabao handed him the prepared jade lotus seeds, he applied the medicinal powder to the jade lotus seeds one by one. These thirty-two jade lotus seeds are used to weave the container for the parasitic soul of Hu Hui. Depending on the body parts, the medicinal powders to be sprayed are also different. Some medicinal powders are used to purify evil spirits, some are used to nourish the soul, some are used to cleanse the spirit, and some are used to incubate the spirit. Grandpa is also getting older, so he has greatly reduced his working hours based on his rich experience. Hu Dabao watched his grandfather learn at first, and then slowly followed his grandfather to weave the processed jade lotus seeds together. The two people worked hard all day to make Hu Hui's limbs and torso. At ten o'clock in the night, the two people connected the limbs, torso and head together, and received the Tianshou Yin and Yang formation that grandpa had drawn in advance. among. The Yin-Yang Formation was relatively familiar to me before I became an underground burial master. My grandfather explained a lot about the Yin-Yang Formation to me - for the underground burial master, the four words Yin-Yang Bagua are almost the origin of everything. . The greatest use of the Tianshou Yin-Yang Formation is to help the soul that has lost its seven souls to find its seven souls while remaining intact. This requires a very long process of nourishment, but the Tianshou Yin-Yang Formation is used to assist the soul in completing this. thing. But when I watched my grandfather draw this Tianshou Yin and Yang formation, I felt a little sad, because although this formation is easy to use, it requires the earth burial master to sacrifice several years of his own Yang life. This is also related to the nature of the profession of underground burial masters. For underground burial masters, almost everything has the strictest duality - there must be gains and losses. To gain something, you must lose something, and to use One method will destroy oneself. The words "equivalent exchange" should be very appropriate to describe the underground burial master. I think grandpa must have really taken Hu Hui's matter into his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have done this for Hu Dabao. As for why grandpa did this, I seem to be able to understand it. Judging from the time, grandpa will no longer be a burial master in two years. Helping Hu Dabao rescue his poor daughter may be Grandpa's last burial as an underground burial master. In the past half of his life, because he violated the family's taboo by becoming a burial master, the Zhang family has suffered great misfortunes. This is probably the biggest reason why grandpa decided to retire. But after working as an underground burial master for half his life, it was difficult for him to let things like Hu Dabao go. The time reached midnight unknowingly. At this time, the jade lotus seed substitute used to resurrect Hu Hui had been completed, and the Tianshou Yin and Yang array began to glow with bursts of strange white light and slowly rotated. The full moon in the sky and the Tianshou Yin and Yang Formation on the ground complement each other, making it look very gorgeous. Hu Dabao is a rough man. He has never seen such a magical scene. He was shocked when he saw the woven jade lotus seeds standing up slowly as if they were alive. His face turned pale. Grandpa told him a lot. There was no need to worry, but after waiting for a long time, Hu Dabao felt relieved after he was sure that the jade lotus seeds would not harm him. But at the beginning, things didn't go as grandpa expected - according to grandpa's idea, it shouldn't take too long to attract Hu Hui's soul, but nearly an hour had passed since zero o'clock, and the full moon was in sight. The moonlight was getting darker and darker, but Hu Hui showed no sign of appearing. Hu Dabao waited for a long time but could not find his daughter's soul. He couldn't help but feel anxious and asked his grandfather what was going on? Is this the wrong way? Grandpa's face didn't look very good, so he just said he would wait and see. Another half hour passed, and the activation time of the Tianshou Yin and Yang Formation was about to pass. If there were no more souls to stay, the formation would disappear. At this time, Grandpa's face became even more ugly. After taking a deep breath, Grandpa looked at Hu Dabao with a somewhat embarrassed look and said, it might be difficult for Hu Hui to come back. Hu Dabao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned for a long time before he suddenly knelt in front of his grandfather, grabbed his clothes and cried heartbreakingly. Hu Dabao cried and asked his grandfather why Hu Hui could not come back. The reason why he has been able to survive all these years is because he thought that one day he could see his daughter again, hug her again, and make up for her. After living until now, licking a face, he no longer has any attachment to this world. If he wants to live alone, he would rather end it on his own. Grandpa also looked a little bit regretful. After much hesitation, he told Hu Dabao the truth - there was nothing wrong with the method. Moreover, Grandpa also clearly felt that Hu Hui had been there, but Hu Hui was unwilling to enter the formation and stayed at the Among the substitutes of Jade Lotus Seed. Hu Dabao hurriedly asked his grandfather why Hu Hui didn't want to come back. Grandpa said that he didn't know. Maybe it was because she had too much resentment and she had completely lost her consciousness. Maybe...she was resisting seeing you. . In short, no matter what the reason is, it seems that it is impossible for Hu Hui to enter the Jade Lotus Seed. After a moment of silence, Hu Dabao looked a little lost, and asked his grandfather hoarsely what would happen to Hu Hui if he did not return to the Yulianzi stand-in. A flash of guilt flashed in Grandpa's eyes, and he said that if the child Hu Hui is unwilling to come back, then she will be an evil ghost and no longer your daughter. I am an underground burial master. Now that I have discovered this evil ghost, I cannot let her do evil in the world. I can only eliminate her from the world. Hu Dabao trembled, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, and asked tremblingly what "annihilation" meant, was he going to send her to reincarnation? Grandpa said that evil ghosts cannot enter reincarnation, and if caught by ghosts, they will suffer in hell forever. If they fall into my hands, their souls will be scattered and disappear from the world completely. Hu Dabao cried, heartbroken, and completely out of control. He cried and yelled at the sky, calling for his daughter, begging her to come back, and asking her if she didn't want to come back because she hated him as her father. I hate that he failed to protect her properly and allowed her to suffer so much abuse that she didn't deserve.The entire mountain forest was silent, with only Hu Dabao's desperate roar echoing continuously. Of course Hu Hui would not answer him, and Hu Hui could not be seen anywhere. Hu Dabao smiled sadly. Then he saw the handmade knife next to him and took it into his hand. Hu Dabao put the sharp handmade knife on his arm, looked at the night sky and shed tears, and shouted to Hu Hui, good daughter, if you hate me as a father, there is nothing I can do for you. There is only one thing. After that, Hu Dabao gritted his teeth, and the sharp handmade knife blade made a big cut on his arm. But it was not over yet. Hu Dabao took the handle of the knife and lifted it up along the wound - a piece of flesh. He cut it off all the time! Grandpa was startled, and then immediately ran over to stop Hu Dabao, angrily scolding him not to do such stupid things. However, after pushing his grandfather away, Hu Dabao smiled miserably, his hand holding the handmade knife kept trembling, and he cut the flesh from his body piece by piece with tears in his eyes. This Hu Dabao is also a ruthless person. When he says he hurts himself, he hurts himself. He is not ambiguous at all. A person is really driven to a desperate situation and becomes ruthless. No one can stop him. Grandpa has tried to stop Hu Dabao several times, but he That look of despair finally made Grandpa give up trying to stop him - he knew that with Hu Dabao like this, even if he could be stopped now, if Hu Hui could not be saved, he would not live anymore. The handmade knife in Hu Dabao's hand has turned into a bloody knife at this moment. The hand holding the knife is full of blood, and the ground is also covered with dark red blood. Pieces of skin and flesh are peeled everywhere, hidden in the dim light. among the grass. After a while, Hu Dabao's entire right arm was reduced to white bones, with a few thin pieces of skin sticking to it pitifully. An old man who was already in his fifties was crying, kneeling in despair in the dark night, using a knife to cut off his own skin, flesh, blood and bones to express his apology to his daughter. This look was very scary and cruel, but But it made me feel sad inexplicably, my chest was tight, and my nose was a little sore.
