Chapter 17 A Long Night



The moon is like a silver plate, hanging high in the sky!

At two quarters past Xu, the sky was already dark.

However, there is light because the Jade Rabbit rises in the west.

Even without lights, you can still see the nearby area clearly.

The deep mountains are quiet, and all you can see are the vegetable fields and the fences of the medicinal garden, standing quietly under the moonlight.

Xu Luo did not take the initiative to look for the evil spirit.

At the hour of Xu, after nightfall, he took the initiative to light bonfires, letting several bonfires burn brightly.

When the purple peach wood burns, it makes a crackling sound, and the flame has a hint of white.

It was late at night with heavy dew, and it should have been extremely cold, but several bonfires burning nearby not only dispelled the darkness but also brought warmth.

In addition to lighting a bonfire, Xu Luo also set up an altar in front of the door, took out the statue of the ancestor from the ancestral hall, and hung it at the door.

In addition to the normal spellcasting materials on the altar, there is also a long sword.

This is enshrined in the ancestral hall and was used by a certain ancestor.

Master Tiandu Taoist once muttered that the ancestor was some kind of Taoist guardian of the world.

It was just more specific, but didn't say much more.

Anyway, in Xu Luo's opinion, since his master attached so much importance to this ancestor, his sword must be very powerful, so he asked him to take it out and armed himself to the teeth.

"I feel like a fool."

After the wind blew for half the night, Xu Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He prepared for half a day with great fanfare, including setting up the altar, inviting the statue of the ancestor, inviting the ancestor's instruments, and even cutting down a purple peach tree and splitting it for lumber. However, there was no movement from the people for a long time.

However, in fact, no movement is a good thing, which proves that you don’t need to deal with danger.

If possible, Xu Luo would like to sleep soundly and not have to worry about anything.

But it's a level one serious threat, and his life is in danger, so he can't just ignore it!

At this time, he had nowhere to go and no fellow disciples to rely on.

There was no choice but to do it myself.

"Zi Shi is the key!"

Continuing to enjoy the breeze outside the door, Xu Luo secretly reminded himself that it was not the time yet!

Normally, he would only discover the presence of evil spirits at midnight, but now he was just worried that there might be changes on the full moon night, so he made preparations in advance.

During the day, he cast several mind-purifying spells on himself, and now he is extremely calm.

The condition has also been improved to the best.

In the dark night, he saw fire in the distance, which must mean that other peaks had also responded.

Mountain medicine, fortune-telling and divination are also one of the five arts of Taoism. The head Taoist Xuansu is a master who is proficient in divination and medicine, so it is not surprising that he can foresee the crisis in advance and make preparations.

But Xu Luo was speechless again.

It turns out that these people knew that they could sense danger, so no one came to inform him at all!

Should he be happy about this trust, or be distressed by these people's disregard?

While waiting bored, Xu Luo could only recite Taoist scriptures.

"Lao Jun said: The Great Dao is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is heartless, moving the sun and the moon; the Great Dao is nameless, nourishing all things; I do not know its name, so I call it the Dao..."

Xu Luo recited the Heart Purification Mantra in a low voice, on the one hand to pass the time, on the other hand to cleanse his soul and calm himself.

But Xu Luo stopped reciting the Tai Shang Qing Xin Mantra before he finished.

At this time, two evil spirits came out of the dense forest. They were attracted by his aura and approached him directly.

However, when the two evil spirits approached, they stopped about ten meters away from Xu Luo.

Although not moving forward, it is not leaving either.

"The yang energy released by the purple peach wood is only five or six meters long?"

Xu Luo frowned.

Purple peach wood is a pure yang wood. When it burns, it releases a yang energy that can dispel evil spirits. However, it is a consumable after all. The closer the distance, the better the effect. Xu Luo originally thought that these bonfires had been burning for quite a long time. Although it was dark, the nearby area should be full of yang energy and the range should be quite large.

Now that I know the range is so small, I am naturally a little disappointed.

There were only two first-level Yin spirits coming over. They were afraid of places with strong Yang energy, so they just wandered around and didn't dare to come closer.

Xu Luo did not let them wander around. He didn't know how many there would be later. The danger warning said that a large number of Yinhun Pearls could be harvested.

Under what circumstances can a large amount be harvested?

The result speaks for itself.

So we can't let them gather together in large numbers. Now that there are only two of them, we should take care of them directly. The energy we consume can be recovered.

Xu Luo, who was originally sitting in the center of the altar, stood up and recited the mantra for salvation.

Soon, the recitation was completed, and a halo enveloped the ghost.

Covered by the halo, the ghost became illusory.

However, since its power was increased, one mantra of salvation could save a first-level evil spirit, but an accident happened at this time.

"Is this the power of Taiyin Moonlight?"

Xu Luo took a deep breath.

It used to take one hit to kill someone, but now it takes at least two, and the workload has increased a lot.

In the end, he used the divine mantra five times before he was able to get rid of the two evil spirits.

Xu Luo was not happy at all after getting the two Yinhun beads.

It's just the most ordinary Yin spirit, and you only have to use up five times. If you encounter a stronger one, like the second-level Yin spirit that resisted the Killing Ghost Spell last time, how powerful will it become now?

I can’t even imagine it.

As for whether there will be a second-level evil spirit appearing tonight?

That is obviously inevitable!

After dealing with the two lone ones, Xu Luo went back and sat down, taking the time to recover his energy.

At this time, he silently recited the Huangting Dao Sutra.

This is my fundamental method. Although it cannot increase my spiritual power, it can speed up my recovery.

As time passed, one or two evil spirits would occasionally appear, be attracted over, and then be eliminated by Xu Luo.

Compared with usual times, the number of appearances at the hour of Xu was comparable to what had occurred the previous night.

Occasionally, there were roars coming, as if the main peak had already started fighting.

At this time, Xu Luo couldn't care less and could only seize the time to reply himself and try to face it in the best condition.

Soon, the hour of Hai arrived.

At this time, Xu Luo clearly felt that the temperature had dropped a bit, and the height of the burning bonfire flames was a little lower than before.

He added firewood one by one to ensure the flame would not go out, and then waited quietly.

It was not until three quarters past midnight that Xu Luo's face changed and he suddenly stood up.

No evil spirits appeared.

But he clearly felt the temperature drop, and the originally burning flame seemed to be suppressed by something, and the flame suddenly became shorter.

At this time, a grayish white fog enveloped from all directions, and visibility suddenly dropped a lot.

Originally, a lot of Yang energy could be transmitted out, but now Xu Luo has a feeling that at this moment, there may not be any Yang energy five meters away from the campfire.

Under the suppression of this fog, the Yang energy was also compressed and could not be transmitted too far.
