Chapter 116 Zhao Liangchen's Talisman Temptation
These past few days, Master Cheng has been locked up in a remote house in the backyard, guarded by servants and not allowed to see outsiders.
The Cheng family brought several cultivators to the outside of the yard. Before they could open the lock, they heard a man's voice singing roughly inside.
"Her eyes... her eyes..."
Not only does it sound unpleasant, it also sounds a bit creepy.
Cheng Shuqi looked embarrassed. "My father has been like this for the past few days. He seems to be a different person every time. It's really..."
"We understand, don't worry." Zhao Liangchen nodded expressionlessly.
He and Li Chu still maintain the same cold temperament, one is handsome and cold, the other is ugly and cold.
But they all looked like professionals, which was reassuring.
Monk Shenmu looked up at the top of the courtyard and said with a slight emotion, "The yin energy in this place... is so strong."
Li Chu had also scanned it with his mind.
Suddenly, there was only one human figure in the yard. The yang energy around him was extremely weak, but the yin energy was rising into the sky, almost as strong as more than eight thousand lantern monsters.
It is several times more than ordinary ghost generals!
Li Chu was a little surprised.
Could it be that Cheng Shuqi's father is a ghost commander?
When the gate opened, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, wrapped in colorful curtain cloth, was seen sitting under a big tree in the yard, singing while holding his hair with his hands.
Although the expression is very charming, the picture is inevitably a bit nauseating.
When Monk Shenmu saw him for the first time, he exclaimed: "Wow! Half of the ghosts in Hangzhou are probably in him."
Before him, without even entering the yard, Li Chu had already discovered that there was something strange about Mr. Cheng.
Although the yin energy here is strong, it is not emitted by him himself, but rather by many things possessing his body.
Because his own Yang energy was extremely weak.
As the old saying goes, if a mortal has a yang lamp on his shoulder, the yang lamp will protect him and ghosts will not invade him.
Comparing the three yang fires in the human body to three lamps is actually a very appropriate metaphor.
Normally, a healthy man's Yang lamp should be very strong. When ordinary wandering ghosts see it, they will quickly hide away for fear of being hit.
If we really collide, I will be injured and you will lose your life...
Therefore, the elderly, children, and women may occasionally be possessed by ghosts, but this is very rare for middle-aged men.
But at this time, the yang lamp on Mr. Cheng's body was suppressed by something and was only a step away from going out.
There is a most poisonous oath circulating in the Northland Jianghu: If the light goes out, I will go out...
At this time, Mr. Cheng's light was about to go out.
His body was like one that could be entered at will...that.
No wonder so many ghosts are eager to possess it.
For the ghosts, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After death, turning into a ghost is like falling into a cold world, losing all mortal perceptions. If there is a chance to live again, even if it is only for a short time to experience the feeling of being alive, it is extremely precious.
Therefore, the result is predictable.
Countless ghosts around him rushed into Master Cheng frantically, vying to experience the pleasure brought by the flesh.
Poor Mr. Cheng, his body was used in turn like this, day and night without stopping.
It’s pitiful just thinking about it.
…
"At least three hundred ghosts have entered his body. They are fighting for the right to use this body. That's why Master Cheng is so crazy."
The monk Shenmu opened his eyes wide, and his wise eyes saw everything clearly.
Then he angrily said: "What a wicked ghost, he almost tortured him to death."
"ah?"
Cheng Shuqi was shocked and immediately pleaded, "Master, please save my father!"
"Humph, since I'm here, I won't let them harm anyone!"
Shenmu strode forward and extended a finger.
Master Cheng was so frightened that he cried out, "Monk, what are you doing?"
"Get out!"
Shenmu shouted loudly and pointed a finger at Master Cheng's forehead. Whoosh——
A bright golden light!
Then there was a buzzing sound, like a flock of birds startled in the jungle.
Hundreds of ghosts of all shapes and sizes rushed out and tried to escape.
The three cultivators could see these ghosts. Although mortals like the Cheng brothers could not see the ghosts, they could feel a sudden gust of biting and cold wind!
There was a sickening chill in the wind.
"Hey!"
Monk Shenmu uttered some maxims again and shouted loudly.
It was as if an invisible ripple spread out, and in an instant, all the hundreds of scattered ghosts were shattered!
The combined yin energy of these ghosts is similar to that of the Ghost General, but when separated, their respective powers are quite weak.
No one could withstand the monk's lion roar.
Li Chu saw this and thought it was quite amazing.
I really can't do this ability to drive the ghost away from the human body and then shatter it with a loud bang.
If the monk Shenmu wasn't here, with his current moves...
There are a hundred ways to destroy Master Cheng and the evil spirit in his body.
But if we want to save the people... and kill the ghosts, it will be a bit difficult.
It seems that it is necessary to learn some new magical powers.
But……
Although the evil spirit from Mr. Cheng has been temporarily driven away, the yang fire in his body is still weak.
In this case, even if he recovers temporarily, once he leaves the protection, he will be attacked madly again.
Moreover, after the negative energy disappeared, the aura on his body became clean.
Li Chu saw that there seemed to be a faint thread wrapped around his body.
The feeling of this thread is... very familiar.
It seems very similar to the line on my body that constantly transmits good luck!
Is it witchcraft that Mr. Cheng was also possessed by?
So Li Chu said: "Mr. Cheng's Yang energy seems to be suppressed by some kind of witchcraft spell."
Zhao Liangchen heard this and said, "All we need is three Yang Fire Talismans to light up the three Yang Lamps on his body."
Li Chu was silent. Making talismans was his blind spot in knowledge.
But Zhao Liangchen noticed Li Chu's expression keenly.
His eyes lit up, his pupils dilated slightly, and his lips moved, as if he was expecting something... and then he asked softly, "You don't know how to make talismans?"
Li Chu shook his head frankly.
Clam?
Zhao Liangchen's face was immediately covered with a layer of pride, and his eyes also burst into a light of confidence. The light was so strong that his whole face began to turn red.
But he quickly began to suppress his excitement, and after a long time, he let out a long breath.
Then, he uttered two words in a tone that he managed to maintain calmly, seemingly understating them but actually as heavy as Mount Tai.
"I can."
…
Monk Shenmu looked at Zhao Liangchen strangely. He was just making a Yang Fire Talisman...
Although he doesn't know how to do it either, because he practices martial arts.
But he knew that it was a very basic talisman used by ordinary immortals, and that anyone who had practiced for three to five years could use it to practice...
Is it necessary to be so proud?
But Zhao Liangchen didn't care about his gaze at all, and was completely immersed in the great joy of "Li Chu can't do it but I can".
In countless days and nights, in countless moments of doubting life... he kept comparing himself with Li Chu. After comparing in every aspect, he felt that he didn't even have the value of living.
At this moment, he finally found it.
Li Chu made a talisman, no! I made a talisman, yes!
It’s great that we make talismans!
I love making talismans!
I love any kind of talisman making!
No, I love making any kind of talisman...
Immediately, he waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Cinnabar, yellow paper, brush, ink... prepare everything, I will make a talisman for you to see!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Master!"
Since the Cheng family had invited a cultivator, they had naturally prepared these things and quickly sent someone to get them.
Zhao Liangchen was getting impatient, he was eager to show off his talisman-making skills in front of Li Chu.
That sense of accomplishment...it's tempting just to think about it.
Is this the temptation brought by talisman making?
In just a moment, the Cheng family's servants brought the altar and laid out all the necessary items.
Zhao Liangchen stood in front of the altar in a serious manner. He raised his hand to hold the writing brush, dipped it in cinnabar, spread out the yellow talisman, held the writing brush with his wrist suspended, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath. In an instant, the writing began to move like a dragon!
Brush, brush, brush——
In a moment, a bright yang fire talisman appeared freshly.
"The first one should be put on Mr. Cheng's left shoulder!" he ordered.
"Put the second one on his right shoulder!"
"Put the third one between his eyebrows!"
Li Chu found it interesting, so he just watched silently from the side and memorized his movements...
Soon, the work was finished.
Zhao Liangchen put down his brush and complained happily, "I haven't made talismans for a long time. I am a little rusty and my movements are slow."
Li Chu praised: "It's already very impressive."
"Hehe...it's just so-so."
Although he said it was normal, the moment he heard Li Chu's praise, Zhao Liangchen felt his head lighten and he felt like he was flying. The little remaining rationality kept telling himself this.
Don't drift...
Don't drift...
Don't drift...
It's just a compliment from Li Chu, nothing big.
Why bother about his approval?
Since I can surpass him in making talismans today, maybe I can surpass him in other aspects tomorrow.
The road is still long, don’t be too arrogant, who knows who will be brilliant in the future!
Hehehehehehe…
…
Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived.
The most favorite part of making the talisman lasted only a few moments...
The Yang Fire Talisman produced by Zhao Liangchen is of guaranteed quality. Within half a minute, Mr. Cheng woke up slowly.
But his eyes were dull, his spirit was listless, and his whole face was as black as charcoal.
Considering that he had been invaded by hundreds of ghosts for several days and nights, it was a good thing that he was able to survive...
Lying on the bed in the bedroom.
Although he was occupied at that time...
But his mind was clear, and when his consciousness came back, his memory became clear. He knew that it was the three cultivators in front of him who saved him, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up and thank them.
Li Chu came here to see him because he wanted to ask him one more question.
"Master Cheng, do you still remember how you were cursed?"
"Witchcraft?" Master Cheng's face changed, "I don't know..."
It seems that he still doesn't quite understand what happened to him.
Li Chu was very concerned about witchcraft, firstly because he also had one hanging on his body.
At the same time, out of his professional spirit of seeing the Buddha off to the west, he felt that he should ask a few more questions.
If we don't figure out how Mr. Cheng was cursed, what if he is harmed again after they leave?
He did not help in rescuing Mr. Cheng just now, so he wanted to find out the whole story.
So Li Chu asked again: "Do you remember what you were doing before you were attacked?"
Mr. Cheng recalled: "I received a strange letter at that time... Yes, after opening the letter, I became unconscious!"
"Letter? Can you let me see it?" Li Chu asked.
"Well... it's not impossible." Master Cheng instructed his son, "Shuqi, bring the black envelope and the letter from my study."
Cheng Shuqi returned soon.
He brought back a strange letter in a black envelope, but it had been opened and the letter paper was outside.
"Master Li..." Cheng Shuqi handed it to Li Chu.
Li Chu took the letter and saw the words written on it: "Don't interfere in the affairs of Ping'an Town again. This time I'm only giving you a slight punishment, but next time I'll kill you!"
"What a big tone!" Monk Shenmu snorted coldly first.
But Li Chu paid attention not only to the contents above, but also stroked the envelope and scanned it with his mind.
Sure enough, there was also that faint black thread wrapped around this envelope, but it was broken.
Li Chu vaguely guessed its original state.
He said calmly, "Someone must have cast a spell on this letter. As long as someone opens the envelope, they will be cursed instantly, and the Yang Lantern will be extinguished immediately."
"Ah?" Master Cheng was shocked: "This... is really hard to guard against!"
Monk Shenmu asked curiously, "What is it that they don't allow you to get involved in?"
