Holding three sticks of incense, Xu Qing stepped and performed the ritual. When the Spirit Incense invoked the Yin energy in the courtyard, he began to recite the Rampage Soldier Spell.
"The first day wounds, the premier reforms.
The Celestial Master commands, swiftly capture calamities.
Across the nine lands, slay ghosts and seize harm.
Fortunes to the good, misfortunes to the vile.
The wicked scorn me, all die paying harm.
Now I command you, rampage fiercely..."
As the Rampage Soldier Spell concluded, the burial site in the courtyard suddenly emitted billowing black smoke. Nearly two hundred skeletons emerged, extending bone claws and skulls breaking through the soil like bamboo shoots after the rain.
These skeletons had Yin energy swirling around their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes. Upon hearing the spell, they faced the altar and spat out evil Qi, akin to believers in pilgrimage.
