Chapter 146 Big Red Fish, ready to take action, the evil spirit in the ancestral temple
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong, and thank you, Brother Yushu."
Xu Zheng was also well-behaved and quickly stretched himself out to salute.
“This is what we should do.”
"When someone trusts you, you should be loyal to them."
Both of them were modest, and Chen Yushu took the opportunity to ask, "Xu Zheng, did you see anything before you drowned this time?"
"Strange things?"
Xu Zheng was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted and nodded, saying, "Yes, I saw a fish.
A beautiful big red fish.
I was standing on the bridge at the time, and suddenly I saw a beautiful big red fish stranded in the shallows below, so I went down to catch it.
Who knew that after I went down, it slowly swam to a position in the middle.
Because it was not deep, only up to my knees, I followed to grab it, but my foot slipped and I fell down. No matter how I struggled, I couldn't get up.
After that, I don’t know…”
Xu Zheng is actually not young, probably around ten years old, so his explanation is quite clear.
"Big red fish?"
Chen Yushu frowned.
He didn't say much, but turned to look at Xu Qing and Xu Cunzheng and said, "Today, my family is hosting a banquet. I first invited Uncle Zhong, and then came to invite you. Now that Xu Zheng has recovered, I would like to invite you to my house for a simple meal. Is that convenient?"
“Of course it’s convenient.
I'll pack up and be right there."
If it were before, Xu Qing might have been proud of his status and put on airs, but now he certainly wouldn't do that, so he nodded in agreement quickly.
So Chen Yushu didn't stay in Xu's house any longer and walked out.
Uncle Zhong was the same. On the way, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face. He looked at Chen Yushu and asked, "Your talisman..."
“A friend gave it to me.”
Chen Yushu replied.
"A friend gave it to me?"
Uncle Zhong was stunned.
"I have a good friend in this town, who is quite famous nowadays, his name is Shi Hao.
Before returning, he gave me some talismans for self-defense."
Chen Yushu didn't intend to hide it, but there were some things that really couldn't be explained clearly, so he just replied casually.
“Shi Haoshi is taking action?
I didn't expect you to be familiar with him.
No wonder.”
Uncle Zhong was stunned, and a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face.
When these words were spoken, Chen Yushu was stunned.
He didn't expect that Shi Hao was so famous now. Not only his father knew about it, but even Uncle Zhong had heard of it.
As they were talking, the two of them returned to the Chen family courtyard.
At this time, Chen's father also hurried over to greet him. He saw that there were several elders from the village in the house, some of whom were relatives and uncles, and some were elders with higher seniority in the village. When they saw Chen Yushu, they couldn't help but praise him.
Soon, Xu Qing and Xu Cunzheng also arrived, and everyone immediately became more enthusiastic and looked up to Chen's father.
After all, being able to invite Xu Cunzheng here shows that they have a great reputation.
As for Uncle Zhong, he was not difficult to invite because he was kind to others and often interacted with the villagers.
…
In the countryside, the scope of activities is limited.
Especially in winter, when the weather is cold, most people stay at home.
Chen Yushu's house was bustling all day, but became quiet at night.
Chen Yushu directly set up a soundproof array and stood in the yard to practice martial arts.
Speaking of which, he learned this soundproof array after seeing Zhao Yufeng fiddling with it. Later, he obtained a detailed explanation of the array. He has a better understanding and grasp of the soundproof array, and naturally he is more adept at fiddling with it.
The soundproofing array he set up can be expanded or reduced in range, completely isolating his parents' room from the village inside and outside, preventing others from hearing it. It also does not affect his ability to hear what is happening outside.
"After such a long period of practice, the Evil Dispelling Technique has also been perfected."
Chen Yushu was practicing the Yin-walking technique. As he used the technique to dispel evil spirits, he immediately felt something different.
He realized that he had already cultivated the Evil-Dispelling Technique to perfection.
"The Perfection level of the Huasha Jue is not only similar to the Fuyin Jue in that it can be used instantly, but its power is also greatly increased compared to the Great Perfection level.
If it is said that the great-level technique of dispelling evil spirits can dispel all the evil spirits in the body of an evil ghost with one strike, turning it into a ghost, and no longer having the strength to sustain itself.
Then, at this point, the technique of dispelling evil spirits has been fully achieved. Even evil spirits cannot withstand it. All the blood evil will be completely dispelled, leaving no trace..."
Chen Yushu could clearly feel the difference between the two.
The power was like two completely different spells, with a huge difference.
"Aside from the Huasha Jue, I've also made considerable progress in my other techniques.
The art of looking at qi has reached great success, the art of hiding fragrance has reached small success, and the art of the Seven Star Steps has also reached great success and is close to perfection.
Besides, I have just cultivated the Divine Presence Technique to a small level, and the Yin-Pointing Sword to a small level..."
Chen Yushu was in a very excited mood.
Each technique is making steady progress.
Especially the art of divine presence.
He was well aware of the power of this technique. Before, it was only at the proficiency level, but it was already able to severely damage evil spirits. Now that it has been upgraded to the minor success level, the power is naturally even more terrifying.
As for the Dian Yin Sword, it is a rare long-range attack technique.
Before, most of the techniques he mastered were close-range methods.
For example, the Fu Yin Jue, Hua Sha Jue, and even the Shen Lin Jue can only deal with ghosts and spirits within a range of two to three meters, and the dead and evil zombies. However, this Dian Yin Sword can directly attack opponents within three to ten meters.
The deterrent effect is extremely strong, and it also adds a significant supplement to his means.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, Chen Yushu noticed that Xiaohong, who had been staying in the room, suddenly jumped out.
Chen Yushu was stunned and naturally understood that Xiaoyin had come.
Only Xiaoyin could make Xiaohong run out to greet her so happily.
Any ghost or spirit that dares to approach will be beaten hard by her little fist.
Then he turned his head and saw Xiaoyin running towards him happily from outside the yard, also jumping and skipping.
The two little kids first hugged each other and laughed, as if they missed each other very much after just one day's absence. Then Xiaoyin quickly broke free from Xiaohong's arms, ran to Chen Yushu, and stretched out her hand to give him a familiar shake.
“Brother Yushu.
My sister asked you to wait a moment and go to the village entrance."
Xiaoyin spoke.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu nodded.
I know that Sister Shen wants to deal with the evil spirit in the ancestral temple first.
really.
Even he would prefer to deal with the one in the ancestral temple first.
No matter what, evil spirits are much easier to deal with than evil spirits.
Only by solving it can we focus on solving the evil spirit under the bridge.
Then, without any delay, he made sure that his parents had rested in the room and went out directly.
The village becomes very quiet at night. At this time, every household turns off the lights and begins to rest.
Only occasionally, the howling of dogs hearing the noise could be heard.
For example, when Chen Yushu passed by his neighbor Song Rentou's house.
Song Rentou was originally a hunter. Half of his face was bitten off by a wolf and he stopped hunting. However, he still kept a hunting dog at home. At this time, the dog seemed to hear the noise and kept growling.
Chen Yushu was afraid that it would wake up his parents and disturb their rest, so he glared at the hunting dog.
Awooo...
The hunting dog suddenly seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. It quickly hid in its kennel with its tail between its legs, trembling and not daring to move.
Xiaohong and Xiaoyin followed behind, and seemed to be annoyed by it. They ran over and beat it up, leaving it in shadow for several days.
After a while, Chen Yushu arrived at the entrance of the village.
From a distance, I saw Liu Qiaoer standing at the door of the ancestral temple, her face slightly tense.
“Did you see that?
This evil spirit is really about to come out.
All the "spirits" in the ancestral temple are squeezed into the corner.
Even the incense in the temple was eaten by it. No wonder the seals were broken so quickly.
The power of incense is the best nourishment for evil spirits.
If we don't deal with it now, when everyone comes to burn incense and pay respects to their ancestors during the Lunar New Year, it will completely break free from its seal."
When Liu Qiaoer saw Chen Yushu, her tone became unusually serious.
Chinese New Year is a big festival.
Every time this time comes, every household in the village will burn incense and worship Buddha, and come to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors.
This is the custom here.
The ancestral temple is related to the peace of every household in the village. The more and stronger the "spirits" in the ancestral temple, the more they can protect their descendants and help them grow up smoothly.
No one dares to be careless.
Especially in Beijiao Village, because of the incident ten years ago, the "spirits" are few and weak.
Then every household would be even more generous when offering sacrifices. Not only would they light candles and burn incense, kneel down and perform rituals, but wealthy families would also offer three kinds of animals and six kinds of livestock.
This is considered a great gift.
It often brings huge benefits to the "spirits" in the ancestral temple.
Once such an offering is made, it is equivalent to an ordinary ghost walker who can absorb the energy of the evil spirit's essence at once, and there is no need to worry about backlash. His strength and power can be greatly increased.
“I noticed it when I entered the village yesterday.
I thought you would call me over that night to get rid of it."
Chen Yushu nodded.
He couldn't help but use the Qi-gazing technique again.
With the great achievement of the art of observing qi, one can see even more things.
Not only did he see the evil spirit rising into the sky and the extremely weak "spirits" in the ancestral temple, but he also saw the incense sticks that were always burning, which were constantly being drawn to the place where the evil spirits were sealed through some unknown trajectory.
Chen Yushu could even sense that the evil spirit in the seal was extremely powerful.
Years of sealing did not weaken it. On the contrary, it became even stronger due to the power of incense and the nourishment of faith. Judging from its aura alone, it was not much weaker than the corpse demon he had encountered in Qiuhe Mountain before.
“This evil spirit.
If it is baptized by the large amount of incense and faith during the New Year, it will not only be able to break the seal.
I reckon it could even go one step further and become an evil spirit."
Chen Yushu couldn't help but assert.
"yes.
So, we can’t wait any longer.”
Liu Qiaoer nodded, her face cold and her eyes deep as she said, "It's been ten years. It's time to end it."
"What should I do next?"
Chen Yushu asked hurriedly.
Naturally, he knew the relationship between this evil spirit sealed in the ancestral temple and the Liu family.
Originally, this evil spirit was captured by Grandma Liu and given to Liu Qiaoer's father as a weapon to calm his spirit.
It was only because something unexpected happened to Grandma Liu that the seal suppressing the evil spirit loosened, allowing it to escape, which led to the great disaster that year.
Therefore, Liu Qiaoer's father, who originally had a promising future, paid the price of his own life to seal the evil spirit back into the ancestral temple.
At this moment, Liu Qiaoer was standing in front of the ancestral temple, and it was no wonder that she showed such a special emotion.
"You don't have much to do next. You just need to protect the 'spirits' in the ancestral temple and prevent them from coming out and harming them.
I will handle this evil spirit myself."
Liu Qiaoer said in a cold tone.
"Don't worry."
Chen Yushu nodded, then quickly said, "To prevent the villagers from discovering the noise here and causing unnecessary trouble, I'd better set up a soundproofing array around us."
"Alright!"
Liu Qiaoer was silent for a while and nodded.
So Chen Yushu looked around, took out the formation plate, and quickly fiddled with it along the ancestral temple.
soon.
He then set up a new soundproofing array that covered the entire ancestral temple.
While moving the soundproofing array, Chen Yushu also pasted talismans around the wall.
This talisman is the talisman to ward off evil spirits!
The function of the evil-repelling talisman is not only to ward off evil spirits, but also to prevent ghosts and spirits from entering through walls.
Just like Xiaoyin, when she entered his room for the first time, although she got in smoothly, it was very strenuous and her speed was much slower.
Then, the two of them stepped into the ancestral temple together.
As for Xiaohong and Xiaoyin, they were told to stand outside the ancestral temple and come over immediately to remind them if any special situation occurred.
As soon as I stepped into the ancestral temple, I immediately felt the temperature around me drop by several degrees.
It was winter at this time, the mountain village was cold, the weather was cold, and the ground was covered with frost and ice.
But here, the temperature is several degrees lower. You can imagine how heavy the yin energy is here.
This is the effect caused by the leakage of evil spirits and sinister energy. Generally, the aura of the spirits in ancestral temples only gives people warmth and gentleness, but there will be no such phenomenon.
Then, Chen Yushu pasted talismans around the area again, and then naturally walked to a corner of the ancestral temple, which was where the "spirits" in the village stayed.
This is the innermost corner of the entire ancestral temple.
There were seven spirits, tightly packed together, with very limited space for them to move.
"I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Chen Yushu saw one or two familiar faces inside.
They were all elderly villagers who had passed away in recent years. One of them was his eldest grandmother. He remembered that when he was a child, she gave him candy. It was the kind of long white sesame candy wrapped in several layers of paper. She took out her trembling hands, opened the paper package, and gave him one...
As a result, not long after, he heard the news that the other party was getting old, and he felt a little sad at the time.
At this time, seeing the other person again, appearing in front of him in the form of a "spirit", I felt inexplicably emotional.
Then, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the evil spirit that had always oppressed their living space. His eyes flashed, and he stepped on the seven stars.
As he took the last step.
boom!
moment.
A large amount of evil spirits were squeezed out by the endless earth energy, which also greatly alleviated the oppressive force of these evil spirits on the seven "spirits".
And the other side.
Liu Qiaoer stood in the middle of the ancestral temple, looking at the tablets placed in front of her. Below the tablets was a black wooden box.
Inside the box is actually a sealed evil spirit.
His father's original idea was to use the many "spirits" in the ancestral temple to suppress them, and then completely eliminate them bit by bit.
However, in that battle, the 'spirits' in Beijiao Village were wiped out too thoroughly.
As a result, this idea could not be realized. Instead, there was no "spirit" guarding it for a long time, and it took the initiative and absorbed a lot of incense and faith.
Later, "spirits" gradually moved into the village, but it was no longer possible to solve the problem.
The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest.
The main seat has been occupied by it.
"The natural world, the foul qi disperses, the mysterious void in the cave, the bright Taiyuan, the mighty gods of the eight directions, make me natural, the spiritual treasure talisman command, announce to the nine heavens, dry Luodana, the cave Gang Taixuan, slay demons and bind evil, save thousands of people..."
Liu Qiaoer chanted a spell quickly, and a sword appeared in her hand without her noticing.
A golden magic sword.
This magic sword looks very ancient, and there is even a hint of red on it, like something rusty.
She was muttering something and waving the sword in her hand. If ordinary people saw it, it would be like watching those old Taoist priests performing a shaman dance.
But this time, the one performing the shaman dance was a beautiful and graceful woman.
But in Chen Yushu's eyes, it was completely different.
At this moment, it seemed to him that the spell in Liu Qiaoer's mouth and the golden magic sword in her hand were completely in harmony with the surrounding heaven and earth.
One can clearly feel the spiritual particles around them becoming active quickly and then connected together.
"go!"
Then she let out a sweet cry.
It thrust out with a sword.
boom!
The black wooden box immediately shattered as if it had been hit by a terrifying attack.
"ah……"
A scream suddenly rang out.
boom!
at the same time.
The evil spirit that was originally just slowly radiating around suddenly became stronger.
The terrifying oppressive force suddenly erupted at this moment.
The temperature around, which was already quite cold, suddenly dropped again.
Sizzle...
The wooden structures in the temple even made crisp sounds due to the endless cold, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Then, Chen Yushu saw an extremely tall divine eagle, like a general on the battlefield, appear in front of them.
Evil spirit!
At this time, the evil spirit that was suppressed in the ancestral temple appeared.
It was dressed in armor, holding a spear in its hand and wearing a hat on its head. Its body and face were covered with black hair.
Mandrill?
This turned out to be a mandrill evil spirit.
The original form is a mandrill, which is a creature that is neither a demon nor a monster.
When it turns into an evil spirit, it becomes even more bizarre.
For some reason, it appeared in the image of a battlefield general.
But there is no doubt that the aura on it is extremely powerful, far superior to that of ordinary evil spirits, and no less powerful than the corpse demon that Chen Yushu had encountered before.
