What they didn't know was that Xue Huan didn't fight as fiercely and coolly as they saw. She just stood there and paddled casually.
The fighting scene that everyone saw was nothing more than a special effect she created using an illusion array.
However, the onlookers exclaimed sincerely.
Finally, Xue Huan saw that the time was almost up, so she froze the "ghost" in mid-air and put it into a narrow-mouthed bottle with great difficulty.
She waved her hand, and the bottle floating in the air flew into her sleeve.
Xue Huan let out a long sigh.
Cai Kuo stepped forward and started to flatter him: "I knew that a mere vengeful spirit could not do anything to a real person. Look, the moment the real person made a move, the vengeful spirit immediately surrendered."
Xue Huan's face didn't show any sign of satisfaction, but rather a serious expression. "Although I have subdued the vengeful spirit, I still need to continue to perform rituals to dispel its grudge. As long as its grudge persists, it may return and wreak havoc on the world once again!"
Cai Kuo hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master. I'm sorry to trouble you for your concern."
"This is what I should do."
Xue Huan immediately looked at the villagers who were watching. "Although the vengeful spirit has been subdued, some people have been bewitched by it. If we allow these people to continue to stay in the village, I'm afraid the village will never have peace."
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers were in an uproar.
"What? Who is it?"
"This is outrageous! We need to kick them out right away!"
"Isn't it someone from the Old Xue family?"
…
The villagers were buzzing with noise. Among the crowd, the people from Old Xue's family had a bad feeling and wanted to sneak away, but before they could leave the crowd, they were discovered.
"The people from the Old Xue family want to run away!"
"Quick, stop them!"
"Don't let them get away!"
Without Xue Huan's instigation, the villagers spontaneously restrained all the members of the Xue family.
"As for this family, please take them all to the threshing ground." Xue Huan pointed at the Liu family.
The threshing ground is where villagers dry rice. The ground is compacted and flat, and it is relatively spacious. Whenever there is an important matter in the village and a meeting is needed, the threshing ground becomes a natural meeting room.
This is also a place for villagers to cool off in the evening and for children to play.
At this time, the sun in the sky was emitting fiery rays. The people from the old Xue family and the Liu family were tied in the middle. Cai Kuo and the yamen officials stood in the middle, and the villagers formed a circle.
At this critical moment of life and death, Old Lady Xue no longer cared about anything else and cried out at the top of her lungs, "Sir, my family and I are all good citizens who live a peaceful and honest life! That vengeful spirit has nothing to do with us. I hope you can see clearly!"
Old Lady Liu’s fighting ability is no less than hers.
The two old ladies shouted in unison, and the others also shouted. For a moment, the whole threshing ground was in great noise.
Xue Huan stepped out from the crowd and said, "Whether you are innocent or not is not up to you to decide. You have to use this Pure Fire Glazed Lamp in my hand to test it."
In her palm she held a clear green glass lamp with a bright yellow flame burning in it.
She used her object control skills to push the glass lamp forward, and it flew to and hung above Old Lady Xue's head.
Seeing this scene, many people exclaimed in surprise. Seeing her pinching her fingers and performing a spell, they held their breath and concentrated, for fear of accidentally disturbing her.
"Ah, look!"
"Oh my god, what the hell is that?"
"Oh, that's scary!"
Under the illumination of the Pure Fire Glass Lamp, a ferocious black shadow suddenly appeared behind Old Lady Xue. Upon closer inspection, the black shadow turned out to be a snake, spitting out its tongue at everyone!
"snake!"
"Femme fatale!"
"No wonder that old woman is so cruel!"
Old Mrs. Xue was tied up and could not see what was happening behind her. She was confused and terrified.
Boss Xue, who was kneeling beside her, looked behind her and screamed in fright, then quickly moved to the side.
Xue Huan said, "When the light changes color, it means that the person has been infected by a vengeful spirit."
Someone boldly asked, "What would happen if a real person were infected by a vengeful spirit?"
"The resentment in your heart will grow deeper and deeper, and you will slander and blame others everywhere. In the end, you will become a carrier of resentful spirits, harming others and yourself."
The villagers thought to themselves, "Oh my god, isn't that what Old Mrs. Xue is like?"
"No wonder the vengeful spirit was hiding under her bed. It turns out she was the one who brought it out!"
"That was a close call! Fortunately, the real person took action, otherwise everyone in our village would have suffered."
Xue Huan moved her fingers, and the glass lamp moved from above Old Mrs. Xue's head to above Old Mr. Xue's head.
"Ah! The Dali has also turned black!"
"That's... a pig behind him?"
"Hahaha, eating and being lazy all day long, aren't you just a pig?"
…
The glass lamps were used to test one by one. Most of the people from the Xue and Liu families were filled with resentment, and these people did not have a good reputation in the village.
Therefore, the further the villagers went, the more amazed they were at the precision of the glass lamps.
Cai Kuo asked Xue Huan, "Master, how should we deal with these people?"
He used the word "deal with", and it was obvious that he regarded people like Old Lady Xue who were filled with resentment as outliers.
"The only way to escape this disaster is to become a monk and devote yourself to doing good."
Cai Kuo couldn't help but feel strange after hearing this. As a Taoist practitioner, why would Master Zhao suggest that these people become monks and devote themselves to Buddhism?
But after thinking about it, he understood that Taoism emphasizes nature, tranquility, and detachment from the world, while Buddhism emphasizes persuading people to be good and turn back.
"Don't worry, Master. I will handle this matter properly and prevent these people from harming the people."
Properly handled... Xue Huan chewed on this word in her heart with amusement. She knew that Mrs. Xue and others would not receive a good reception, but wasn't this what they asked for?
She didn't need to worry about what happened next. Cai Kuo was more eager than her to send Old Lady Xue and others away.
Without giving Cai Kuo a chance to get close, Xue Huan said goodbye and disappeared from the spot.
Everyone who saw this scene felt even more in awe of her.
However, Xue Huan did not leave. Instead, she returned home and saw the dirt, stench, and buzzing flies in front of the door. Her anger, which had originally subsided, rose again.
This behavior of throwing feces in front of the door will not cause any substantial harm to their family, but it is extremely disgusting!
Originally, she felt a little guilty for relying on magic to attack the Liu family, but now all this guilt disappeared when she saw the scene before her!
Xue Huan quickly performed a cleaning spell, and in an instant, the dirt in front of the door disappeared, but the unpleasant smell still remained.
She used the Qingfeng Jue again to blow away the stench.
She is now very proficient in small spells such as Cleansing Technique and Qingfeng Jue.
However, the spiritual energy in the outside world was so thin that it was almost non-existent. Every time she cast a spell, the spiritual energy cultivated in her body would be consumed and could not be replenished at all.
Therefore, if you want to practice smoothly to improve your strength and cast spells, you must continuously let the Five Elements Beads absorb purple energy, so that the spiritual energy in the space will become richer.
