Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 222 The Altar is Established on the Rooftop
Li Xuan's black maces were stained with blood and feathers, and the piles of crow corpses at his feet resembled a small mound of flesh and blood.

He took out a talisman and wrapped the two black maces in it.

Kotoko Higa also rushed back from outside. When she saw the floor covered with the corpses of crows, she was slightly taken aback, but then she reacted and asked, "Are you alright, Mr. Li?"

Her gaze fell on the black mace wrapped in talisman paper, and after a moment's thought, she guessed what Li Xuan might be planning.

There were many people here, so I didn't ask.

After Li Xuan showered and washed himself, there were far fewer people on the floor. Higa Kotoko stood outside waiting. The two of them did not speak and went together to the corner of the stairwell.

Kotoko Higa asked, "You intend to use crows to find the source of the Grim Reaper's curse?"

Li Xuan nodded.

Kotoko Higa took out a black talisman folded into a triangle from her pocket, unfolded it, and said, "I tried this method before dealing with the Po-Xuan Demon. But it was very difficult. In my meditation, I saw that all those crows were the source of the curse."

Li Xuan noticed a crucial point and asked, "Those who attack crows will be hunted down by crows, you..."

Kotoko Higa's expression was somewhat solemn as she said, "It was a small amount of crow blood left behind by Thunderbolt's father, and that's where I got it from."

He told me about this plan that time, and I agreed. In order to ensure safety, I set up barriers and formations in advance, and even made a substitute doll to prolong its life.

Unfortunately, the crows attacked indiscriminately, and even after destroying the substitute doll, they could still clearly locate the area where the exorcist was...

This sentence reminded Li Xuan.

He said, “Tonight I will hold an altar on the rooftop. You should immediately prepare a piece of yellow paper and write down everyone’s birth date and time, according to the Chinese lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar.”

The time is set for 11 PM, which is the moment when the twelve two-hour periods of the day have just entered the extreme Yin phase. My lineage is special and needs to borrow from the extreme Yin to amplify its power. At that time, you will protect me and prevent any external objects from attacking the altar..."

The altar is not only used to invite deities to examine illegal laws; its original purpose was to communicate faith, allowing one to borrow the power of deities or the power of heaven and earth from afar.

One of the most intuitive spell phrases is "Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the power."

Survivors continued to die.

Li Xuan once again asked Stantin to speed up the construction of the Fengdu Temple. With the infrastructure standards of 2014, building a temple inside a high-rise building was not difficult; it was just a matter of material solidification.

Standin could sense that this "Grim Reaper" incident seemed more intense than before, so he didn't mention any other conditions and directly agreed to Li Xuan's request.

High-strength, fast-setting cement, machine-carved patterns, cinnabar, obsidian, pure copper decorations, and most importantly, the sculpting of the deities—all were carved by married men. These men were graduates of art academies, and plaster casting and carving were their daily tasks, making them far more efficient than craftsmen.

Once the Fengdu Temple is completed, Li Xuan will immediately use the Queen's Building as the center point to divide the area, directly incorporating New York City into the territory of the underworld Fengdu, and establishing a "Fengdu New York Division". If all goes well, various underworld officials will come here to apprehend evil spirits.

To better protect her, Kotoko Higa set up a Shinto barrier on the rooftop in advance, and even invited a local American exorcist who was a Shintoist to help her...

It's perfectly normal for Americans to believe in Taoism. There are even Taoist temples built by Westerners in the eastern part of New York, where blond-haired, blue-eyed Taoist priests practice Tai Chi.

When time is needed, it always becomes very little; when it's not needed, every second feels like torture. Before I knew it, it was already past 10:50 PM.

On the rooftop of the Queen's Building, in the very center, stood a square altar table, complete with a black and yellow tablecloth, incense burner, candles, yellow paper, peach wood sword, and other ritual implements...

In the southwest corner, Higa Kotoko, dressed in white Shinto clothing, knelt on the ground with a long table in front of her, piled with white chrysanthemums and white talismans.

A black cloth was placed over her eyes.

This wasn't a necessary decoration for Shintoism, but rather because Li Xuan was about to wear the formal attire of a Fengdu judge and couldn't be seen by women. Therefore, he blindfolded himself, activated his intuition, and with the assistance of the three blonde American Shintoists kneeling behind him, he could immediately detect any anomalies...

In addition, sandbags, each six meters long, one meter wide, and one meter high, were piled up in the four cardinal directions of the rooftop.

Behind these sandbags are fully armed special police officers, carrying guns and wearing night vision goggles. According to Standin's experience, some attacks from supernatural forces can be neutralized by physical means.

Father John guarded the east, while Thunderbolt guarded the west; the former held a pure silver cross, and the latter held a black urn in his hands.

Faced with the fact that nearly half of Flight 215 had died, the two felt that their efforts had been almost ineffective. Upon learning that Li Xuan was about to hold an altar ceremony, they decided to come and contribute their strength to protect him.

23:00
When midnight arrived, Li Xuan changed into his robes just in time and immediately felt the Yin energy in the world becoming denser, rushing towards the altar.

He bowed to the tablets of the gods of the North Pole, North Yin, East Yue, and Tianpeng one by one, and then bowed to the gods of the four directions. Regardless of whether they exist in this world, the ritual still had to be followed.

Burn incense, light candles, and burn yellow paper.

Li Xuan took out the yellow paper written by Higa Kotoko and opened it. Inside were only the names and birth dates of 119 survivors...

His birth date and time are naturally not on it.

Holding the yellow paper in his left hand, he plunged the index and middle fingers of his right hand into the cinnabar ink, gathering his magical power to quickly write a thin rune on the yellow paper, shouting: "This life is not that life, but the soul crossing the bridge to be reborn. One stroke removes seven spirits, two strokes take three souls, three strokes separate Yin and Yang... Hurry, hurry, as the law commands."

The yellow paper with the incantations written on it began to burn, emitting thick blue smoke that soared straight into the sky.

The ashes retained the shape of the yellow paper, and with a gentle shake from Li Xuan, they scattered and landed on the prepared plastic miniatures. These miniature figures were 3D printed based on the appearances of the survivors.

Using the blessing of the altar, Li Xuan temporarily categorized the survivors' birth dates and times as "dead," making them appear as corpses in the eyes of the evil spirits. If the evil spirits refused to believe this and insisted on attacking, they could only target these plastic figurines. Once the birth dates and times on them ignited into flames, it signified the figurine's death.

Wow…

The sound of flapping wings came from the darkness, many wings, growing louder as they approached.

The SWAT officers, wearing night vision goggles, immediately spotted the situation and shouted into their walkie-talkies, "Crows! There are a large number of crows in the night sky..."

Standin wasn't on the rooftop. He stood in front of the reinforced floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, looking at the high-definition surveillance video on the screen. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Activate Plan B, clear out the crows, make sure to stop every single one!"

Upon hearing this, the SWAT officers put down their assault rifles, picked up pistols, aimed at the night sky, and, at their captain's command, pulled the triggers sharply. Instantly, a huge net shot out, spreading out in the sky... reaching a diameter of about seven or eight meters...
