Chapter 162 Eight Gods Demon Suppression Formation, Ghost Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night
Of course, the main reason is that he is not short of money for the time being.
There were more than three thousand taels of silver in the storage bag, enough for his expenses in a short period of time.
Time passes.
Night falls quickly.
Finally, he woke up from his cultivation again.
“Three incense sticks (67/100) already.
With the help of the soul beads, my cultivation speed has indeed increased a lot.
In just half a day, his cultivation level has increased by twenty points."
Seeing this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
This is because it doesn't want to improve too quickly to prevent its cultivation from becoming superficial.
After all, he didn't know what was happening in the Huangshan Heritage Cliff, but there was no doubt that fighting and scrambling were inevitable.
If one's cultivation is superficial and there is a slight stagnation when using the technique, and one cannot fully exert one's strength, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
so.
While he was using the soul beads to improve his Taoism, he was also constantly practicing various techniques and spells.
Of course, the main ones are the Fuyin Jue, Yinxiang Shu and Wangqi Shu, which are not very noisy. Spells that make a little more noise, such as Shenlin Shu, Qixingbu and other spells, are not easy to use on merchant ships after all.
As night fell, Xiaohong began to get restless, and then she turned into a stream of light and rushed out from the jade pendant on his waist.
"Brother Yushu, where is this?"
Xiaohong put her hand on Chen Yushu's and asked curiously.
"On board."
Chen Yushu replied, and suddenly a strange look appeared on his face.
Because at the same time Xiaohong came out, he suddenly felt that the yin energy next door had suddenly become much thicker, even heavier than the yin energy Xiaohong carried.
If he remembered correctly, the person living next door to him was an old woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. He had previously used the Qi-gazing technique to check on her and found that her Qi and blood were withered and she looked like she was about to die. It was obvious that she had no spiritual power or Qi and blood in her body.
In other words, she has no Taoist or martial arts skills at all and is just an ordinary person.
But at this moment, he could feel the richness of the yin energy even through the wall. It was obvious that the existence he summoned was not simple.
Almost instantly, Chen Yushu waved to Xiaohong.
Xiaohong was also smart and quickly rushed back into his jade pendant.
Then, Chen Yushu's mind moved slightly, and he immediately heard more noises in his ears.
"Xiaoqing, we are already on the boat.
I've already inquired about it. There are five rooms in our row. The person living next to us is a young man with delicate skin and tender body. You will definitely like him, but he doesn't have much luggage and must not have much money on him.
Then go to the right, there are three rooms, in the outermost of which live a group of father and son. I heard that they are quite famous in Qinghe County. They should be people in the inner circle. You should be alert when you act later and don't make too much noise. The person living next to him is a young man in brocade clothes, and he is followed by two servants. They are carrying a lot of bags, and it is obvious that he is a fat sheep.
However, he lived too close to the father and son and was not the most suitable candidate.
The most suitable one is the one in the middle. Although she is fat and ugly, she is covered in jewels and you can tell at first glance that she is from a wealthy family.
You eat people, I take money, it’s just right…”
The old woman was muttering, even though her voice was very low, but Chen Yushu had made some progress in martial arts training and his ears and eyes were sharp.
In addition, the soundproofing array he specially set up can not only isolate the sound and atmosphere in his room, but also has the effect of amplifying the external sounds.
Therefore, he heard clearly the old woman's muttering.
“So, this old woman is indeed not from the sect.
But, for some reason, she raised a powerful ghost that likes to harm and eat people, and she specially selects targets for it and then makes money for herself? "
A gleam of light flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes, and he had a general understanding of the other party's situation.
As for the tender-skinned boy the other person was talking about, if nothing unexpected happened, it was actually himself.
What the other party meant was that she was a "poor ghost". Although the ghost should like her very much, she still felt a little disgusted because she "had no money", so she asked the ghost not to choose her.
Instead, the main target was the two people living next door to him.
One is a rich young man, and the other is a middle-aged wealthy businessman.
As for the father and son in the room farthest from it, he guessed that they were the father and son surnamed Yan whom he had heard talking when he was on the merchant ship before?
"Speaking of which, I should thank you, right?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness on his face.
It's like a bunch of guys going on a blind date, and all five of them meet each other.
Although he was handsome and delicate, he was despised because he had no money. As for the father and son, they were sent out from the beginning because they looked "ferocious" and difficult to control, and their lives would be difficult in the future. The rich young man was originally the best candidate, but because he lived with those two "ferocious" people, he was afraid that they would meddle in his affairs, so he was not chosen.
Only the wealthy businessmen in the middle, who are rich, easy to manipulate, and can be eaten by the single households, are their real targets...
"In that case..."
Chen Yushu hesitated for a moment before acting rashly.
If his guess was correct, the ghost worshipped by Old Ou next door had a stronger aura than Xiaohong, so it was most likely a ghost at the late stage of the evil spirit level.
As for evil spirits?
If it was an evil spirit, the old woman would have been unable to bear it after staying with such a creature for so many years, and would have been plagued by injuries and died.
As for evil spirits, although they are affected by the yin energy, their life span will be drained away unknowingly, turning them into something neither human nor ghost, but it is not fatal.
At least in the short term, the impact is not significant.
Of course, judging by the old woman's appearance, she had been greatly affected. She was probably only in her forties, but now she looked like she was in her fifties, sixties, or seventies...
“That’s interesting.
I want to see how they harm people."
There was a strange look in Chen Yushu's eyes.
So he quickly withdrew his gaze and began to wait silently.
It was evening now.
The morning sun had just set, and the sun was blocked inside the cabin, otherwise the other party would never dare to come out.
The same is true for Xiaohong.
When I felt it was getting dark, I couldn't wait to go out.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Yushu thought about it and decided not to continue practicing.
After all, the soul beads are too sensitive, and their aura is extremely tempting to ghosts. Even if there is a soundproof array to block it, it is difficult to resist the induction of evil spirits, or even ghosts at the level of evil spirits.
So, Chen Yushu thought about it and took out the sealing magic circle that he had taken from Liu Qiaoer.
Although this sealing formation was just the one that the ghost grandma had enlarged herself, the mysteries contained in the formation could bring him huge benefits.
In addition to his understanding of formations, the most important thing is that it can increase his reading experience.
This is actually what he values most.
After all, the improvement of his reading level is closely related to his state of meditation.
Now that he is in a constant state of concentration, it has greatly facilitated his practice.
Whether it is the speed of improvement in immortal cultivation or martial arts strength, it is astonishing.
If you continue to improve, you can raise your reading level from the fifth level, the true feeling level, to the sixth level. Correspondingly, you can raise your concentration level again, from constant concentration to the constant level.
Then his cultivation speed will definitely be greatly improved on the original basis.
“It’s difficult, though.
First, formation books are hard to find.
Secondly, if I want to improve my reading experience, I must read and understand the corresponding formation books."
Chen Yushu frowned slightly.
The previous detailed explanation of the formation made him truly feel the profound mystery of the formation.
Although it was not difficult for him to understand the text given his true reading level, he could definitely not read ten or twenty lines at a glance like he did with ordinary books.
You need to read it word by word, one by one, and understand it.
After all, the formation is mysterious. If one or two words are missed, there may be a huge deviation, and it must be sorted out again.
"Eight Gods Demon-Suppressing Formation."
Chen Yushu first glanced at the name of the formation.
Then, he turned to the first page.
The entire book on formations is hand-painted and handwritten, with beautiful notes. It is obvious that it was written by a woman, probably the ghost woman, Liu Qiaoer's grandmother.
From the notes, Chen Yushu could also see that the ghost grandma at the time actually did not have a comprehensive understanding of this formation. She also fumbled and explored, and reproduced the entire formation completely in the book in a one-to-one manner. Then she used her own understanding of the formation to make corresponding inferences and figure out its specific formation theories and secrets.
Then, use this to restore and repair the entire formation...
It can be said that this hand-drawn Eight Gods Demon-Suppressing Formation is not the complete original formation.
Instead, it is a book that the ghost grandmother re-edited based on her own understanding.
The degree of mystery may not be even 20% or 30% of the original formation, but the exquisiteness of it also made Chen Yushu's eyes flash with brilliance.
Marvel at its exquisiteness.
Also a huge harvest.
Of course, it takes some time to understand it in detail.
But just by watching, his reading experience improved rapidly.
Reading +12
Reading +15
Reading +9
…
The progress is not rapid, but it is improving steadily.
After all, this set of formations is much more difficult than the detailed explanation of formations.
Just like the detailed explanation of the formation, it is an elementary school textbook and an excellent foundation-laying document, through which he can learn a variety of problem-solving ideas and methods.
The original version of the Eight Gods Demon-Suppressing Formation is equivalent to a high school textbook and is actually relatively profound.
However, the "Eight Gods Demon-Suppressing Formation" reproduced by the ghost grandma is only equivalent to a junior high school textbook, which is just right for him now.
Although reading comprehension is still a little difficult, it is not that difficult to understand.
Following this train of thought to solve the problem actually allowed his formation skills to improve rapidly.
Time passed rapidly as he continued to read and understand.
The darkness had no effect on Chen Yushu.
Two hours later.
Chen Yushu slowly closed the book, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Because he sensed that the ghost next door finally moved.
Don't think he is always "reading" and "studying".
But he did not forget the old woman next door and the ghost she raised.
Although he was not a magnanimous person who liked to stand up for the weak, he would never tolerate an evil spirit harming people under his nose.
Boom boom boom!
Then, he heard a knock on his door.
In the middle of the night, a ghost knocked on the door.
"Um?
The target is me?"
Chen Yushu's eyelids twitched slightly, but his expression remained calm as he replied, "Who is it?"
"It's very windy outside, please open the door, sir."
Soon, a mournful and sad female voice was heard from outside the door. The voice was clearly delicate, yet very pleasant to the ear.
Chen Yushu thought about it and felt no fear. He just stood up and opened the door.
As soon as I looked out the door, I saw a beautiful woman in red. She was wearing a thin gauze. I could vaguely see a red bellyband wrapped around her chest. It was bulging, and I could almost see a little groove inside through the red bellyband...
Very tempting.
"I feel it's cold outside, and I'd like to borrow your room to rest for a night. Would you be willing to do that?
Don't worry, sir, I'm not a bad person.
But, I am too thin to handle the sea breeze..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, and took the opportunity to take in the scene in Chen Yushu's room.
"He's really a poor fellow. He can't even afford to light an oil lamp."
After taking a glance, the female ghost murmured in disgust. This was the sound of a ghost. If it were in reality, Chen Yushu would definitely not be able to hear it unless he started to walk in the underworld.
But when you are in the Yin state, ghosts can see and sense you.
He won't do it.
But Chen Yushu had already raised his state of meditation to the level of constant meditation. Even if he did not go into the underworld, he could still hear its voice clearly.
As for not lighting the oil lamp, there is really no need.
With his eyesight, the night is as bright as day.
Instead, I was too lazy to light the lamp.
But in its view, it is a sign of poverty.
"Sure enough, he's got delicate skin and tender flesh, and he's handsome, yet has a certain air of elegance and grace... So delicious.
If I eat this, I can resist eating humans for ten days..."
Then, it spoke again, as if it was very excited and wanted to really target Chen Yushu.
Hearing this, Chen Yushu suddenly became excited.
It actually hopes that the other party will target itself, so as to avoid taking action later and causing trouble.
But soon, it heard the ghost muttering again, "What a pity! Mother said this man is poor, not a fat sheep. There's no profit in eating him. He's not as good as the guy next door..."
So, in reality, Chen Yushu heard the other party speak again: "If you don't want to, I won't bother you anymore.
It just so happens that the master next door to your house has had a conversation with me before, and I think he is a kind-hearted person.
I will go find him now."
As he said that, he walked into the room next to him, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
