Chapter 101: The Hundred and First Star



The passage is open and wind is blowing in.

As people went down, they felt that the road ahead was long, but the distance was not actually that long. It was just that the dim environment disturbed their vision.

Huang Jue walked at the front of the team, with Chu Qianli and others in the middle.

Tan Muxing followed Chu Qianli closely, and seeing that the people around him were serious and fully armed, he asked in confusion, "So is there really a ghost here?"

"The stars are fine, we can't see them." Chu Qianli said casually, "As for what ghosts are, that's enough to make these people quarrel. Some say they are the souls of people or animals, and some say they are spirits from a higher dimension that humans can't understand. It's like asking the ancients to explain gravity. Not everyone can say anything."

"But the ancients didn't know about gravity, but they still knew that falling from a height would kill them, and they could also understand the most basic principles." Chu Qianli said, "So no matter whether you believe in ghosts or call them ghosts, as long as you understand the most basic things, you can live a normal life."

"The most obvious?"

"If you don't believe in ghosts, just treat it as a phenomenon that science has not yet verified and explained, like the ancients and gravity." Chu Qianli spread his hands, "If you believe in ghosts, it's also very simple. Every faction believes that self-cultivation can resist these. As long as your willpower is strong enough, you will be immune to all evil to a certain extent."

A, who was listening to the conversation between the two, laughed and said, "After all, most religions and mysticism have humanism in them."

"Yes, basically everyone believes that everything a person encounters is a life lesson, and the ultimate goal is to help you reach a new stage through it, no matter if it is a visible tribulation or the so-called gods and ghosts..." Chu Qianli suddenly realized, her eyes widened, and she looked at A in surprise, "Can you understand Chinese?"

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were clearly communicating in Chinese, and the translator did not follow them down the aisle, but A inexplicably responded in English.

A: "I can understand a little bit but I can't speak."

Tan Muxing admired: "That's also amazing."

"So he can eavesdrop!" Chu Qianli saw A following them with a smile, and asked curiously, "Why don't you go forward?"

A confessed: "I am good at using the spirit pendant to connect to my higher self. Fighting ghosts is not within my ability."

The Huangxian and Qianmen Taoists walked in the front, which was obviously their business content.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the wall of the passage. It was different from the sound of the wind like a baby crying, but rather like the sound of metal vibrating.

Xu Zaiyuan: "The yin energy is surging."

Huang Xian taunted, "Is this a provocation?"

Chu Qianli counted with his fingers: "It's just the sound of the pipe in the wall."

Huang Xian: "That's because the five ghosts are shaking the pipes!"

Meiru Z said calmly, "This really is like a haunted house. I wasn't scared by the haunted house aspects, but I was scared by the screaming companions."

Tan Muxing: "..."

At the end of the passage was a small house, and sure enough, there was the Five Ghosts' Secret Altar, incense burners, paper figurines, and other items, exactly as Xu Zaiyuan had described.

As soon as everyone walked into the house, before they could check their surroundings, they felt a strong wind blowing towards them.

"The five stars are shining, and the light is illuminating the dark world..." Xu Yuan immediately drew out the peach wood sword, only to see a finely crafted wooden long sword with red light flashing and rippling on the hilt.

He muttered something to himself and quickly finished the spell: "Five-day demon, be destroyed. Wherever you are, all the gods will welcome you. Hurry up and obey the command!"①

As the spell came true, the wind weakened.

Huang Xian sneered: "He has some skills, but unfortunately the formation has not been broken, so the exorcism spell is not very effective."

Huang Xian took out the paper money from his pocket and threw it out in an orderly manner. At first, the paper money was distributed in an orderly manner, but the evil wind arose again, and everything was blown into chaos in an instant, just like flowers scattered by a fairy!

"This little devil is hard to deal with." Huang Xian said irritably, "He has been trapped here for a long time and doesn't know the rules of the outside world."

There are only a few ways to send ghosts away. Some use paper money to send them away, some use talismans to force them away, and some ghosts will make their own requests, and will leave honestly as long as the requests are fulfilled.

However, the modified Five Ghosts Bring Wealth Formation gathers Yin, and since it uses infant ghosts, their wills are not yet mature enough, so it is naturally not easy to drive them away. Some people raise ghosts because they are simple and easy to command, and they are not tainted by too much karma, so it is not easy to drive them away.

Xu performed sword dance in Yuan, the spirit scatters paper, and Qiao performs purification rituals on the spot, but the evil wind in the house has not completely dissipated.

Chu Qianli watched his companions display their magical powers and said helplessly, "It seems like we are watching a special effects movie without special effects."

The atheist trio could not see any unusual phenomena. They only felt that the wind in the house was a little strong, but other than that they did not see even a ghost.

In the eyes of theists, their exorcism actions may be effortless and master-like, but in the world of Chu Qianli and others, they seem strange and incomprehensible.

The space inside the house is not large. In the center is the Altar of Five Ghosts. On the right side are museum shelves with various strange rocks and utensils. On the left side are hanging incomprehensible calligraphy and painting characters, and there are also faint patterns on the ground that look like ghost paintings.

This is the most important place in Ting Feng Xi Yu Building. As long as the layout here is changed, the Feng Shui inside the building will change. The undulating mountains and building layout of the villa area outside are all to enhance the effect of this place.

"That's why I said I don't like ceremonies. I hope I can get better. It's fine as long as I don't hurt others. I'm most afraid of taking risks for my own selfish interests." Chu Qianli walked to the museum shelf. She observed it carefully and wanted to move the objects to their positions. "It's disturbing just looking at it. Let's break his formation."

Chu Qianli never does rituals. As long as he doesn't rely on rituals, there will never be the possibility of making mistakes.

The warlock who built this place is different. In order to gain greater benefits, he does not hesitate to try to use the blood sacrifice of infant spirits, which is completely contrary to the ideas of most practitioners.

Of course, just because Chu Qianli doesn’t do it doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand.

She reached out and moved the utensils on the museum shelf.

A strong wind started to blow, and the frame began to sway.

Huang Xian felt something was wrong, and he quickly called out, "Little girl, the five ghosts are gone!"

Xu Zaiyuan's eyes dimmed, he drew his sword and chanted: "There is the Yellow God in front, and Yue Zhang behind. The divine master kills and conquers, not sparing the powerful, first kill the evil ghosts, then cut off the night light..."②

Before the spell to kill the ghost was finished, the museum shelves suddenly collapsed, and the colorful stone vessels fell down with a crash, about to hit Chu Qianli in front!

Huang Xian: “It’s over!”

Tan Muxing had been following Chu Qianli. He found that the museum shelf was loose and collapsed. He pushed it back to its original place with one hand and caught the falling green jar with the other hand.

The museum shelf is made of solid wood and looks to be one and a half meters tall, which means it is incredibly heavy, but it was easily blocked!

After Tan Muxing held onto the shelf, the evil wind dissipated instantly.

The small green jar was not smashed, but the remaining colorful stones fell all over the ground, making a gurgling sound.

Chu Qianli hurriedly lowered her head to pick it up. She frantically searched everywhere and sighed, "It's over, it's over. I have to put it all together again. It's messed up..."

Mei Ru Z bent down to help her pick up stones: "It turns out that a day without taking care of the child is not complete."

With the help of Mei Ru Z, Chu Qianli picked up the stones from the museum shelf and rearranged them according to the orthodox Feng Shui routine, no longer using the sorcerer's sinister method.

Tan Muxing held up the small green jar and reminded, "There's also this."

"Thank you." Chu Qianli took it quickly. She placed it in the middle of the shelf and clapped her hands with satisfaction. "It's done!"

As the position of the instruments on the museum shelves changed, the air in the room suddenly became less stagnant, and the eerie and stuffy feeling when entering the room dissipated.

Lilith observed the crystal ball with the help of the flashlight: "The energy has changed."

Joe: "The dark ritual is being purified."

Xu Zaiyuan: "The next step is salvation, there will be no more chaos."

The sorcerer deliberately kept ghosts in the house, but Chu Qianli did the opposite and broke the Yin-gathering environment.

However, the most astonishing thing was not Chu Qianli's Feng Shui breaking of the formation, but the fact that Tan Muxing was actually safe and sound under the attack of the five ghosts, and even suppressed the restless ghosts for a short period of time!

Liu Jun looked at Tan Muxing. Recalling what had just happened, he asked in doubt, "How can you exorcise ghosts if you are not a Taoist?"

Tan Muxing pointed at himself in confusion: "...Excuse me, are you talking to me?"

Lilith was equally shocked: "He clearly has no ability, but his energy is not affected."

Tan Muxing: “?”

Xu Zaiyuan said calmly: "Magic spells cannot defeat supernatural powers, and supernatural powers cannot defeat karma."

Although talking about the evening star has nothing to do with metaphysics, he carries the karma and has a peaceful state of mind. He can be said to be a truly kind person, so he will naturally not be disturbed by external objects or evil spirits. In short, he has never done anything bad and carries the merits, so it is difficult to be impacted.

Tan Muxing was suddenly surrounded by people. He felt uncomfortable and said in panic: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. I don't know how to exorcise ghosts..."

Tan Muxing had no presence during the entire second round of screening. He didn't understand why he was inexplicably accused of being able to exorcise ghosts just for supporting a museum shelf?

Everyone has concluded that Tan Muxing can exorcise ghosts, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.

Chu Qianli rushed to the rescue and said unhappily, "Okay, okay, you theists are not allowed to pry into the corner blindly. Just because the stars are so powerful, you are just messing around here. He absolutely dislikes metaphysics. Please respect other people's likes and dislikes!"

The atheist trio insisted that there were no ghosts and were about to start a quarrel with the theists.

It just so happens that everyone else's actions just now were useless. Mainly because the success of these three people who didn't believe in ghosts made it difficult for others to continue to refute!

Huang Xian and the others originally thought that Chu Qianli had pointed out the location of the room but did not believe in ghosts, and estimated that he did not have the ability to perform purification rituals and save the souls of the dead. However, they did not expect that the other party was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and accidentally broke the formation. Now they really could not find the problem with their test papers.

Who would have thought that atheists could beat theists at exorcising demons!

Tan Muxing argued weakly: "But I really can't exorcise ghosts..."

"We all failed, but you beat them back and said you couldn't do it." Huang Xian protested in a shrill voice, "Have you ever thought that this makes us look stupid!?"

"……sorry."
