Chapter 148: The woman who left the village, killed the fish, and opened the altar again
This evil spirit has a very deep grudge against the Liu family.
Especially since Liu Qiaoer's father died because of her, even if she expressed her surrender and was willing to hand over her soul rope, she would not really keep her.
"Sister Qiaoer, are you okay?"
Chen Yushu came over at this time.
As for the ancestral spirits, without the oppression of evil spirits and murderous auras, they suddenly felt relaxed and could happily wander around the ancestral hall for the first time.
Of course, in the end, they all possessed their own spirit tablets.
The spirit tablet is actually equivalent to their "home", but because of the presence of the evil spirit mandrill, they almost had no home to return to and could only wander around the ancestral hall like lonely ghosts.
"fine."
Liu Qiao'er shook her head, then seemed to remember something and quickly explained, "My grandma is really not evil."
"I know.
How could I possibly believe the words of an evil spirit?"
Chen Yushu said with a smile.
“My grandmother is actually a disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect on Tianxuan Mountain.
The Ghost Spirit Sect has a special magic spell, the Ghost Sealing Spell.
This ghost sealing technique is a technique that uses oneself as a carrier to seal ghosts.
Once the ghost is sealed into one's body, the cultivator will not only be able to use the power of the ghost to practice and grow, but his combat effectiveness will also soar.
It is equivalent to being possessed by a ghost, and can fully exert the powerful power of a ghost.
But this kind of power is controllable.
By the way, this kind of possession is somewhat similar to summoning gods. It is an orthodox magic spell, but it is different from summoning gods.
Inviting gods means actively inviting gods into the body, while sealing ghosts means sealing ghosts in the body in advance, using the power of ghosts as the source and controlling it freely.
There is a time limit for inviting gods to come. Once the time is up, the gods will leave.
The ghost in the ghost-sealing technique is always inside the body, so you can borrow power at any time.
But the drawbacks of this unique magic are also very obvious.
That is, if a cultivator deals with this kind of thing for a long time, his lifespan will often be greatly reduced. Therefore, in order to prolong his life, most disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect will join the Underworld Suppression Division to eliminate demons, defend the way, and do good deeds.
The reason why my grandmother is called a ghost woman is because she has always had a ghost sealed inside her."
Liu Qiaoer seemed afraid that Chen Yushu would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.
"Ghost Spirit Sect? Ghost Sealing Technique?"
Chen Yushu had heard of Tianxuan Mountain. After all, among the books he read, there were books on geography, which did contain descriptions of Tianxuan Mountain. It was at least three hundred miles away from Jianghuan Town where they were at the moment.
But I have never heard of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Of course, the books he had read in Ningjing Academy before might have recorded some aristocratic families, prominent families, and official families, but they hardly recorded anything about ghosts and monsters.
The two are completely different systems.
It is quite normal that there is little connection between them.
“That’s right.
My grandmother must have run into an enemy of the Ghost Spirit Sect at that time.
Releasing the 'evil ghost' is the strongest move in the Ghost Sealing Technique. Once used, it is almost equivalent to exerting all one's strength. It's just a pity..."
Liu Qiaoer said this and shook her head.
I'm not feeling too sad. After all, more than ten years have passed, and I've already felt the sadness.
As a Dazoyin who has now cultivated to the level of entering the Dao realm, Liu Qiaoer's spiritual cultivation is also extremely high, and her emotions are naturally very stable.
She just sighed slightly, then pointed at the evil spirits and incense and vows on the ground and said, "Take all of these.
With your state of meditation, you can completely absorb the essence of evil spirits without being affected.
As for the power of incense and vows, it is actually a combination of the power of faith generated by the villagers when they worship at the ancestral temple during festivals. It is relatively pure and can be directly absorbed without refining.
However, it is best to save it for recovery.
Especially in battle, when the energy consumption is high, you can use the incense and vows as a supplement."
Liu Qiaoer said with a slight gesture.
After saying this, he immediately turned around and walked out of the ancestral temple.
Seeing this, Chen Yushu couldn't say anything to refuse, and had to honestly pick up the evil spirit's essence and the power of incense and vows.
Then, he began to take down the remaining evil-repelling talismans in the ancestral temple.
The evil-repelling talisman can ward off ghosts and actually has a restraining effect on the spirits in the ancestral temple. Naturally, it cannot be kept on for a long time.
Then there are the evil-repelling talismans and formation plates outside the wall.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to set up the formation.
Otherwise, the screams of the evil mandrill spirit would have easily alarmed the villagers.
Just after putting away all the things, Chen Yushu saw Liu Qiaoer standing not far away, looking towards the village entrance.
Chen Yushu followed her gaze and saw a woman in thin clothes limping out of the village.
"He's a poor man too."
Liu Qiaoer sighed and said.
"Who in the village?"
Chen Yushu frowned and asked curiously, "Look at the back, he looks very unfamiliar."
"The daughter-in-law abducted by the Song family.
He had been locked up by the Song family before, and the Song family also had a hunting dog guarding him, so he couldn't escape before.
I don’t know what happened today, but she ran away.”
Liu Qiaoer replied.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu's face couldn't help but reveal a strange look.
Naturally, he had also heard about his neighbor, Song Rentou's so-called daughter-in-law. Of course, he had only heard about it and had never seen her.
However, he did not expect that when he went out tonight, his glare scared the hunting dog. In addition, Xiaoyin and Xiaohong were angry that the hunting dog dared to yell at their brother Yushu, so they ran over and beat the dog up. This created an opportunity for the woman to escape successfully.
Whether it is Liu Qiaoer or Chen Yushu, they naturally would not go to chase the person back.
Although the two of them cannot be considered as righteous people, they are both kind-hearted and will naturally help the evil happening around them to the best of their ability.
Before, there was simply no opportunity, but they certainly wouldn't block the path to survival that others had found for themselves.
"Okay, let's go. We still have a tough battle to fight next."
After a while, Liu Qiaoer finally spoke.
"Next, we're going to..."
Chen Yushu was startled and asked, "Kill the fish?"
"Yes! Kill the fish!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiaoer smiled and said, “However, compared to the evil spirit in the ancestral temple, this fish is not easy to deal with.
It is a real demonized evil spirit.
Its strength had reached the level of Suzaku hundreds of years ago.
Although it has been sealed until now, and twenty years ago, my grandmother reinforced the seal.
But judging from the fact that it can still continuously crash into pillars and cast spells to harm people, its strength has not weakened much.
Not easy to deal with!"
Hearing this, Chen Yushu also nodded.
He had seen it on the bridge during the day.
The aura of the other party is much stronger than that of the evil mandrill in the ancestral hall.
It is a real evil level.
Moreover, it is not just evil, it is also demonic.
Demons and ghosts are much more powerful than ordinary evil spirits.
Because monsters have their own bodies and are extremely powerful, ordinary ghost walkers will often be restrained and suffer a great disadvantage when they encounter them.
Even though it was still locked by the four chains, the aura it leaked out was more than twice as powerful as the evil spirit in the ancestral temple.
He could also transform into a 'red fish' to harm people, causing Xu Zheng, the grandson of Muramasa Xu Qing, to almost drown...
Its strength is undoubtedly strong.
Once the other party breaks free from the restraints, the harm will be unparalleled.
"Fortunately, it hasn't been able to completely break free from its chains. Its strength must have weakened significantly after so many years of suppression."
As Liu Qiaoer spoke, she walked towards the wooden bridge.
Chen Yushu followed closely behind.
One of them is at the entry level of Taoism, and the other is at the level of three incense sticks of Taoism. They are not weak, but they are not as strong as the Sui level after all. In fact, they are both a little nervous.
But just like the evil mandrill, it threatens the entire ancestral hall and the few remaining spirits.
This stone fish threatens the lives of the entire village.
Once it breaks free from its chains, the lives of all the villagers in Beijiao Village will be the first to suffer.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
…
Not even close to the wooden bridge yet.
Chen Yushu heard the special sounds of chains tightening one after another.
It's a stonefish!
It's hitting the post.
He kept pulling the chain tight, trying to break it.
But Chen Yushu was very sure that he had never heard such a sound during the day.
That is to say, it is in a resting state during the day and does not struggle or move.
But at night, he could no longer hold back and began to bang his head against the pillar, trying to break free.
Liu Qiao'er walked in front, and with her Qi-gazing technique, she easily saw the other party's movements and said, "Every night, it would crash into the pillars and break the chains on its body.
At the beginning, it had eighteen chains on its body, but half a year ago, only twelve were left.
Then when I entrusted Xiaoyin to you, there were only eight left.
Now, there are only four left... and the speed at which it struggles to break free is getting faster and faster.
I estimate that in a few days, only one or two chains will remain on it..."
At this time, Chen Yushu also saw the stone fish under the bridge.
The stone fish is only its original image, but under the technique of looking at qi, the other party's figure is almost clearly visible.
It was a huge red fish that seemed to occupy the entire riverbed. At this moment, chains were passing through its body, nailing it to the riverbed.
But from Chen Yushu's perspective, he could clearly see that most of the chains had been broken and scattered around the riverbed, and only four chains were left on it.
At this moment, it was constantly gathering strength and jumping upwards.
Every time he jumped up, the chains were stretched straight until they reached their limit, making clanging sounds.
Until its entire body reaches its highest point and then falls down.
It seemed to have become accustomed to such jumping. Even though every jump was extremely painful and its body struggled, it always persisted.
In particular, Chen Yushu has noticed that one of the chains has gradually cracked, and it may break directly in a short time.
"What should we do next?"
Chen Yushu was silent for a while, but felt like he had no idea where to start.
It's not just that the other party's aura is too strong.
Moreover, he actually has very little combat experience.
Especially when facing such evil spirits.
He had never encountered it.
He also didn't know whether his original method would really work.
He was unsure.
Fortunately, although Liu Qiaoer is not very old, her background and experience are indeed much richer than Chen Yushu's.
He spoke quickly and said, "Make preparations for both situations.
The first thing is to strengthen the seal!
This evil spirit existed before Beijiao Village was founded. It was suppressed in the village by a master at that time. The purpose was to get rid of the evil spirit and to suppress the feng shui of the place so that the evil spirits around would not dare to approach.
It is precisely because of this that Beijiao Village has enjoyed good weather and good harvests for hundreds of years and has survived to this day.”
Hearing this, Chen Yushu nodded.
In such a special environment, the land of mountain villages is actually very insecure.
You may be attacked by evil spirits at any time.
If something goes wrong, the whole village will be destroyed.
In the Ningjing Academy, he saw quite a few books, many of which described situations where entire villages had lost contact, were destroyed, and nine out of ten houses were empty.
Although most of these discussions are summarized in terms of natural disasters and man-made disasters.
But according to his observation and understanding, a large part of the reason is actually due to the evil spirits and ghosts running rampant.
Jianghuan Town is not the only one that matters. As far as he knows, there is a well-known ghost village in Yongxin Town, which is next to Jianghuan Town.
That is a place that even cultivators with more than three incense sticks of cultivation dare not set foot in. It is a truly dangerous and evil place.
Beijiao Village has survived for so long, and it must be said that the stone fish suppressed here is actually one of the reasons.
"The second option is to open the altar and kill just in case!"
Liu Qiaoer continued.
"Open the altar to kill?"
Chen Yushu was shocked.
"right!
I'll set up the formation and strengthen the seal.
As for the matter of opening the altar, I will leave it to you."
Liu Qiaoer nodded and said.
"Shall I open the altar?"
Chen Yushu was stunned when he heard this.
Naturally, he also knows how to open an altar.
But generally speaking, the stronger the strength and the higher the realm of the cultivator, the greater the power that can be unleashed after he performs a ritual.
Although his strength is not weak.
But she is definitely no match for Liu Qiaoer.
In other words, if an altar is to be opened, it must be opened by the other party, which will be more powerful and can better suppress and kill the stone fish.
"right!
This formation to reinforce the seal is extraordinary.
I need to do it wholeheartedly to be able to set up the formation perfectly.
It just so happens that you have also learned how to open the altar. The last time I saw you setting it up, you didn’t make any mistakes.
Even if its power is slightly weaker, with the support of this formation, it should be able to pose enough threat to it.
I believe you can do it."
Liu Qiaoer nodded and spoke quickly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu's face became serious, and then he nodded and agreed.
I felt a rare excitement in my heart.
Evil spirit!
Evil spirit!
This time, he was facing a demon.
The strength was definitely the strongest he had ever seen in his life.
Thinking that he was about to fight against someone of this level, he felt inexplicably excited.
