In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.
For instance, when engag...
While Zhao Youliang and his immortals were studying the "Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts," the other two beings also noticed the situation outside.
First up is the school's new Chinese language teacher: he is standing in front of the school gate, dressed in pristine white, quietly looking towards the town.
"The White Tiger breaks the evil spirits and seals the gate, ensuring that the living will not leave and the dead will not abandon it."
"The cycle of cause and effect has begun; a change is about to occur here..."
After the teacher in white finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and sent out several short swords, which were then pinned to the ground around the school.
Instantly, an invisible force rose up, tightly enveloping the entire courtyard and completely isolating it from the yin energy outside.
At the same time, anything near the town, whether ghost or monster, would hear a faint voice.
"Chang is here on the orders of the master. From this day forward, he shall not harm any child under the age of fifteen, for any reason."
"Those who disobey will be annihilated, both body and soul!"
The person who calls himself "Chang" and possesses such power must be none other than Chang Huaiyuan, the master of Wanlong Mountain, one of the five great shamanic masters.
After saying the above, the Northern Blood Dragon returned to his dormitory.
A military treatise, a solitary lamp, until dawn.
On the other side, inside the coffin shop.
Old Liu, who also witnessed the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, sighed softly: "What was meant to come has come, and what was meant to die has died."
"The predecessors plant trees so that the successors can enjoy the shade; the ancestors commit sins so that the successors can be ruined."
"Alas, alas..."
Outside the town, in a not-so-secluded corner.
The young general, who clearly wasn't very bright, was being tightly wrapped in the middle by the giant snake's large tail.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Eighth Master, Eighth Master, can you be a little gentler? My poop is about to burst out!"
The big snake obviously wasn't buying it, or rather, it had been fooled too many times by the young general it had been entangled with.
"You little brat, if you dare to pull anything on me, I'll shove it back in no matter how you pulled it, you hear me?"
"Besides, how can I not hold you tight?"
"If I hadn't caught up quickly a few days ago, you would have torn down that perfectly good spirit carriage, wouldn't you?"
"You're dismantling a 'car' to make a tricycle?! What were you thinking?!"
Seeing that the giant snake wasn't falling for his tricks, the young general simply gave up on futile resistance.
"I was just bored and restless, and wanted to find something to do. I didn't mean to cause trouble."
"Oh, right, Eighth Master, there were a lot of ghosts over there just now. Shall we go catch a few rare species and keep them as pets?"
"There are so many anyway, catching just one or two won't make a difference."
The giant serpent clearly didn't believe the young general. Upon hearing this, it simply uttered a "Get lost!" and then used its large tail to wrap around the young general and disappear.
"You little brat, if you want to play around, I'll take you to find Sister Ma Yi."
"I've missed her quite a bit since I last saw her."
Upon hearing that they were going to see the City Goddess, the young general, who had just been looking mournful, immediately beamed with joy.
"That's great! We miss Grandma too!"
"I miss...I miss my six older sisters, hehe!"
......
At this time, Zhao Youliang had no idea that so many important figures were hidden around the town.
He asked the same question again: "Brother Huang, with all the ghosts roaming at night, why is no one in the underworld doing anything about it?"
"Isn't it said that if unclean things gather together and there are more than a hundred of them, it will attract 'ghost soldiers to borrow a path'?"
"Ghost soldiers borrowing a path" refers to ghost soldiers from the underworld coming to the mortal world to carry out missions. This is often seen after major disasters, when too many people die in a short period of time.
For example, disasters like earthquakes.
If any of you readers unfortunately encounter ghostly soldiers passing by, I offer two pieces of advice that you must remember, as they could save your life:
First, never look up, lest you be discovered by the ghost soldiers.
Second, quickly lie down on the ground to avoid the yang fire being blown out by the yin soldiers.
If you encounter this situation, you will definitely suffer misfortune within the next month.
At best, one will fall ill; at worst, one will die from various accidental events. Therefore, it is imperative to seek out a qualified expert as soon as possible.
If you don't have any experts around you, and everyone you meet is a charlatan, then go and pray at your local Taoist temple or Buddhist monastery.
In addition, you should not go out easily. Just stay at home for a while and let your yang energy recover.
But we've digressed; let's get back to the main point.
Huang Yu didn't know how to answer Zhao Youliang's question.
Because he hadn't been practicing for very long, he only had a superficial understanding of many things.
Moreover, the town has always been eerie and mysterious. Before meeting Zhao Youliang, the five major shamanic families had all warned their clansmen: do not easily step into this place.
Just as Huang Yu was pondering, the grasshopper spirit beside him suddenly spoke up, trembling.
"Why didn't anyone from the underworld come? Well, here they are!"
"And these don't look like ordinary ghost soldiers... Should we hurry and hide...?"
"They're really here?!" Driven by curiosity, Zhao Youliang subconsciously looked outside.
After a gust of cold wind, a group of ghostly soldiers with skull faces appeared in unison opposite the paper-making shop.
The leader was a giant demon nearly three meters tall, wielding a steel fork and with two horns on its head.
Will-o'-the-wisps shot into the sky between the two horns.
Judging from the imposing aura of the demon and the muscles that bulged as if they might explode at any moment, this must be an extremely formidable figure.
After the giant demon appeared, it arrogantly surveyed its surroundings, then spat fiercely at the ground.
"Oh my god! This place is really weird!"
"Poor old man, I've had such a hard life. I finally got a title from the Empress, but I still have to do part-time work in the Underworld."
"Sigh, when will these miserable days ever end!"
As they were talking, Da Gui suddenly felt someone watching him. He looked over and found himself staring at Zhao Youliang.
The demon immediately revealed a ferocious expression: "You ignorant brat, you dare to look at anything without fear of Yama taking your life?"
"Has no one taught you any manners?!"
At the same time, Huang Jiaxian, who noticed the big ghost looking over, immediately realized something was wrong and quickly lowered his head while reaching out to cover Zhao Youliang's eyes.
"Something terrible has happened! Everyone stop looking and close your eyes!"
"Otherwise, we're doomed!"
Although Huang Yu reacted quickly, unfortunately, Da Gui was even faster.
As he spoke, he stood arrogantly in front of Zhao Youliang and the other "people": "Now you know you're scared? Too late!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hairy hand and grabbed at Zhao Youliang and the others.
Faced with the great demon's soul-binding attack, Zhao Youliang couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.
There's no other reason than that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great!
The book subtly reveals that this great demon was originally the guardian of the sixteenth level of hell, the Hell of Crucifixion, the powerful demon Xin Lianshan.
Later, through a series of unexpected events, he had another adventure and now only works part-time in the underworld.
Moreover, his strength far surpasses that of the other guardians of hell, and he is on par with the legendary Ten Great Underworld Generals.
With such a huge difference in strength, it would be strange if Zhao Youliang and the others could resist!
