Chapter 39
The words were unpleasant to hear, and the Wu and Chen families started arguing. The dean of studies and the principal hurried to mediate.
The other side.
After the paper figures destroyed the wooden signs, they came back yawning with their hands raised to their mouths. The golden light on their bodies had weakened a lot, as if they had eliminated too many bad wooden signs, and the energy of the runes on their bodies had decreased.
Li Yang opened his palm, and the paper people were folded into his palm one by one. The moment he lay down, it returned to a normal rune, but just like the time in Hong Kong, too many evil things were destroyed, and most of them were black.
Li Yang hadn't had time to learn Zhou Du's trick yet, so he could only look at Zhou Du.
Zhou Du received the signal and made a hand gesture. The quiet paper people burned themselves without fire and turned into ashes.
Li Yang clapped his hands.
Now it’s time to deal with the poisonous spirit in the jar.
The old Taoist priest was about to take out the yellow paper to draw the talisman, but Zhou Du stopped him and said, "Let the children from our garden do it."
The old Taoist priest let out a soft "ah" and stretched it out for a while. Indeed, talents need experience and training. He made way for Li Yang and asked, "Young friend, do you want talisman paper?"
Li Yang raised his eyelids slightly, "No need."
Then he walked up to the altar, bit the clean fingertips of his left hand, and drew a cross on the altar.
Old Taoist Priest:?
The Taoist priest’s two disciples: ???
Zhou Du, who wanted to let Li Yang practice: ...
Li Yang noticed their distorted expressions: "Is there a problem?"
"Isn't the simplest way to break the ban Yang Blood?"
He remembered it very clearly because Liang Tang mentioned six methods, and the first five were all incantations, so he only remembered the last one, which was the simplest.
The old Taoist priest accepted his simple and crude approach.
Zhou Du was more accustomed to his simple and rough approach.
Old Taoist priest: "...Okay, okay, this is also possible. Are you the Eight Fire Man?" He couldn't help but ask.
Li Yang nodded. Probably.
The old Taoist thought to himself, "No wonder." Not to mention talent and intelligence, this fate is already one in a million.
The restriction was broken and the old Taoist priest opened the jar.
A strange air was released, and an indescribable stench filled the sky.
The two disciples closest to him covered their noses, stepped back two steps, waved their hands, and their faces wrinkled like chrysanthemums.
The old Taoist priest also took a step back silently.
When the atmosphere had dissipated a little, the principal had also finished the mediation. The Wu family was too lazy to argue with the Chen family, and the focus now was on their son's situation.
"Master, what should I do with my child's legs? Will it affect his life?" Huang Rufen asked as she supported Wu Yongwen.
Mother Chen was also anxious, "Yes, yes, this child's legs will not be damaged in the future, right?"
The Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "The medium has been destroyed, and the child's poison has been resolved. There will be no serious harm to the leg. It's just the sequelae of the poison. I will prepare a herbal prescription for you later. Let the child soak in it for a few days and he will be fine."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Taoist Priest!"
Everyone felt relieved and relaxed their worries. Curiosity arose and they gathered around the jar to take a look at what had caused their son to be poisoned.
After just one look, several people's pupils suddenly shrank. They were so disgusted by the things in the jar that they covered their mouths and ran to the side to vomit. Even Chen's father, who had always been cold and decent, was no exception.
The principal and the dean of studies were holding onto a tree and vomiting. Li Yang and Zhou Du then stepped forward to take a look.
From the bottom of the jar to the middle of the jar, there were hundreds of fat, yellow maggots crawling densely.
No wonder children who are poisoned by Gu want to go to the toilet to find food.
However, these maggots were different from the ones that had gathered in the soil before. They had two sharp horns on their heads and a barbed spike on their tails. They were a combination. But the most disgusting thing was that they had a distinct mouth, but no teeth, and they ate the air with a gasping sound.
This scene is simply a nightmare for people with trypophobia.
Li Yang took a half step back silently.
"This ghost is the Gu spirit." The old Taoist priest was lecturing his two disciples. He glanced at Li Yang and saw that he was listening, so he continued his explanation: "It is difficult to eliminate them." Otherwise, he would not have been so shocked when he first found out what was in the jar. "Remember this——"
"Gu spirits are extremely dark creatures. Gu worms are carriers. Each Gu worm is composed of a vengeful spirit who died tragically."
"This time, the Gu Ling uses the Yinhuai wood as a medium. I believe the vengeful spirit itself is more ferocious, and it should be more difficult to deal with..."
The old Taoist priest spoke while thinking deeply, but Li Yang's focus was no longer on this.
Each poisonous insect is composed of a vengeful spirit.
There were countless poisonous insects in the jar, but it was estimated that there were several hundred of them.
His voice was a little hoarse, "You mean, there are hundreds of ghosts in this jar?"
The old Taoist priest didn't explain it in detail before, and he didn't know what the Gu spirits were exactly. He thought it was just a few powerful spirits controlling many Gu insects.
The glory of having captured 77 evil spirits at one time had made him indifferent to just a few evil spirits. He only had a calm feeling that he was determined to win.
But now…
No wonder colleagues in the underworld can’t catch ghosts, it’s because of these evil cultivators who are competing for the KPI.
The old Taoist priest nodded and continued, "So we need to separate the poisonous insects from the vengeful spirits. This is a delicate job. Finally, we need to burn the poisonous insects and liberate the vengeful spirits. This is a tedious task and will take several months to complete. Let me take it back to the temple first..."
Taoist Ying Yi was talking about this slowly when two disciples suddenly pointed in the direction of Li Yang with panicked expressions.
The old Taoist priest looked over, but before he could react, Li Yang had already put his hand into the jar.
In short, old Taoist priest: the Gu spirit is very difficult to remove.
Li Yang: Crush him to death.
The plump yellow maggots shrank instantly and turned into black dried insects.
The carrier was destroyed, and a little devil floated out of the jar.
It was probably not a Gu spirit like Chen Xiaobao and Wu Yongwen that was subdued by the "master". After it came out, it was so excited that it didn't pay attention to its surroundings. It waved its arms and shouted, "I am free!" and tried to run away, but was taken in by a passage to the underworld in Li Yang.
The old Taoist priest and his disciples: ???
A few people who had just vomited in a round were taking a break. Suddenly, there was a gust of cold wind behind them because the ghost gate had opened. Without thinking much, they turned around and saw a scene that was too idealistic.
He closed his eyes and fainted.
The two children who were kneeling on the lawn had just dealt with the poisonous spirits in their bodies and were weak. They were frightened and fainted early.
"Are you Huo Wuchang?!" the two disciples asked with their voices breaking.
"Just a temporary worker." Li Yang remembered something and asked, "If we break this trap, will the person who set it up find out?"
The old Taoist priest was most shocked when he used the paper figurine technique at the beginning. Now he has accepted it very well and replied calmly: "Well, the Gu maker will have a sense of it." Especially since Li Yang not only broke the ban but also strangled a Gu to death. It is estimated that the Gu has already backfired once.
"Then, do you want to lure out the person who set up this?"
"How?"
"Just do it this way." Li Yang resealed the jar and buried it back in the pit.
Although he was worried about the hundreds of vengeful spirits, hundreds of poisonous spirits meant that hundreds of students might be harmed.
Thinking of the time when the 77 evil ghosts led the silk banner and went to the special department that specializes in arresting criminals from the alien world... Since there are relevant departments that can arrest and punish them, they can't let them get away so easily.
He slightly suppressed his desire to achieve great results.
"Will this work? Will the people who set up the plan take the bait? If it were me, I would have packed up my things and run away." Disciple A muttered.
Li Yang used a branch to dig up the soil and covered the jar with a layer. When he was done, he stood up and said, "It's not so easy to get a few hundred vengeful spirits, and he has already attacked once... If the Gu falls into the hands of others, its vital points will be controlled."
The old Taoist nodded, that's true.
"So even if you know you might be tricked, you still want to come and see the situation with your own eyes, just in case you can still save the situation, right?"
If you want to fully utilize sting enforcement, you must accurately grasp the gambler mentality of criminals.
Following Li Yang's instructions, the two disciples dragged the fainted adults and children one by one into the dark, hiding together and waiting for the person who arranged it to show up.
After feeding the mosquitoes for more than ten minutes, a sneaky figure finally appeared.
The man walked with one leg higher than the other and was obviously lame. He first looked around carefully, then without caring to be cautious, he ran to the pit anxiously.
Once we arrived, we dug with our hands and found the soil to be exceptionally soft.
Fallen into a trap!
It was discovered as expected!
Originally, he was hoping for luck, thinking that it was just the parent of a student who had been poisoned who found a master and forcibly removed the poison spirit, which led to the backlash. It was definitely not the lame man whose hideout had been discovered. He stood up suddenly, turned around and wanted to run, but there were already five people in front of him, two young men and men in ordinary clothes, and three who were obviously Taoists.
The evil cultivator raised his thick eyebrows, bit his cheek, took out a round object from the cloth bag and threw it on the ground.
A cloud of green smoke rose up, and the childish laughter of children came out of the smoke. Several ghosts came out from the round object.
The cold wind was blowing, and their clear laughter like bells echoed in my ears.
The ghost drifted quickly in the air, constantly brushing past the five people and entangled in their pursuit.
The two disciples drew their peach wood swords and used swordsmanship. The old Taoist priest shouted, "Young friend! Open the underground gate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang had already released the passage to the underworld, grabbed a little ghost close to him and threw it in.
The passage to the underworld was still open. He said in a cold voice, "It will automatically close in fifteen seconds. You guys deal with it first."
He crossed the fog and walked towards clarity.
The evil cultivator was lame, and no matter how hard he ran he couldn't run fast. Li Yang caught up with him easily, and when they closed the distance, he punched him.
The evil cultivator received an extremely powerful blow on his back and staggered forward a large step, almost spitting out blood before falling to the grass.
He shook his arms, steadied himself, and turned to fight back, but although he was very skilled in insidious spells, he was a weakling in physical attacks.
Li Yang was good at fighting, and he specialized in attacking the most vulnerable parts where pain was most obvious. After a few unilateral blows, the opponent had no ability to resist. Li Yang even kept his breath steady, and pressed him to the grass, tied his hands behind his back, knelt on one knee and pressed his back, and subdued him tightly.
The evil cultivator's left eye and mouth were swollen and blue, and he cried out, "Ouch, ouch." There was grass next to his mouth. He cried out and took a bite, and finally spat it out, cursing, "You little brat! Do you know who I am? ! ! You will be killed by the evil spirit tonight!"
Then he saw from the corner of his eyes that the boy looked lazy and said nonchalantly, "Thank you then."
If it is true, then the performance is +1.
Although there are a few hundred stocks guaranteed tonight, as far as performance is concerned, no matter how many stocks are sold, there is no such thing as too much.
Evil cultivator:?
Zhou Du, the old Taoist priest and others dealt with the little ghost and rushed over.
As Li Yang arrested the evil cultivator, he asked, "Were those sent to the underworld?"
The two disciples patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, we just sent the last one in at the last second before the door closed." Even though the old Taoist priest and his disciples were good at using props, they were no pushovers when it came to catching ghosts.
The old Taoist priest asked two disciples to take over the task of detaining the evil cultivator in Liyang. During the handover process, Disciple A's hand slipped, and the evil cultivator took advantage of the opportunity, took out a round pill-like object from his pocket, and threw it heavily to the ground.
Li Yang thought it was the same trick of releasing the little ghost again, so he didn't dodge. But in an instant, Zhou Du's figure moved in front of him and raised his hand slightly.
A light golden barrier started from his palm and expanded in an arc umbrella shape, covering Li Yang, the old Taoist priest and others.
An explosion sounded, and grass and soil in a small area were blown into the air, and a round hole appeared on the ground.
If it weren't for this protective shield, Li Yang and others would have lost limbs.
Zhou Du withdrew his hand and the barrier disappeared.
The evil cultivator had already jumped several meters away before the explosion, and was happily waiting to see them get injured. When he saw that his trick had failed, he immediately tried to run away again.
But he definitely didn't have the physical strength to outrun the Taoist priest who was practicing seriously, and he was caught before he ran ten meters.
The two disciples were relaxed and even mocked, "Comparing your leg strength with mine... I have to go up and down the mountain twenty times a day. How can a useless person like you who hides in a dark rental house and tinkers with things that harm others compare? You are so weak."
