A strong light suddenly appeared, making the entire guest hall seem like day in an instant.

The guests were caught off guard for a moment, and they couldn't help but raise their hands one after another, trying to block out the dazzling light.

However, the light came and went as quickly as possible, and before the guests could put their hands in front of them, the glare of the glare was gone.

The living room was dimmed again, and the faint light of the oil lamp was finally weakened.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yuan with both worry and curiosity for the first time, wondering if Jiang Yuan would really "appear" under the sunlight radiated by this Xi and Guo.

I saw that Jiang Yuan was still sitting calmly behind the table, holding a wine glass and taking a sip of wine, as if he hadn't even blinked his eyes.

Only then did people breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that there were no demons in this guest hall.

"How could it be ......" Geng Jia looked at Jiang Yuan who had not changed in the slightest in a daze, and there were still shimmering pieces of juice in her white and tender hands, "What kind of means did you use, why are you not afraid of the sun at all?"

Jiang Yuan's face was pale, and he said:

"As I said, your compass is broken. ”

"Impossible!" Geng Jia was very confident in the cathode compass, and she immediately reached out and grabbed it from the cloth bag, "Demon ghost, don't think I'm helpless!"

However, the old cloth bag has been taken back by an old hand, but it is Du Yuan.

Geng Jia looked at Du Yuan incredulously:

"Master?"

Du Yuan seemed to be looking at Jiang Yuan with a pair of blind eyes, and he smiled and said:

"This son is right, the cathode compass is indeed broken. Apprentice, the teacher has just found out, quickly put away the cathode compass, and don't bump into the guests again. ”

Geng Jia couldn't help but be shaken and puzzled when he heard even the master say this:

"Is it really broken?"

Geng Mingchuan also stood up:

"Xiao Jia, don't be rude anymore! Quickly apologize to this son!"

Geng Jia snorted and casually hugged his fist towards Jiang Yuan, which could be regarded as a reluctant apology.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand at Han Chao and Yuan He, motioning for the two to sit down.

Soon everyone was back seated and the feast continued.

After such a fuss, the rest of the people were fine, only Geng Jiaguo's face was full of unwillingness.

She originally planned to show her hand in front of everyone, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but it made herself lose face.

This made her feel resentful, and she wanted to take an opportunity to show off the skills she had learned over the years, so that Geng Jiabao's prestige could be played out, so that others would not dare to underestimate it.

And now, if you want to achieve this goal, it seems that the only thing left is to find the ghost invited from Gengjiabao.

Immediately, Geng Jia blinked, and suddenly said to Geng Mingchuan:

"Dad, what about the ghost shrine where our family invites ghosts? Send someone to carry the ghost shrine quickly, my daughter will definitely make it impossible for the demon to coerce me Gengjiabao today!"

Geng Mingchuan became nervous when he heard this:

"Xiaojia, don't talk nonsense....... Are you sure?"

Geng Jia nodded:

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter has got rid of a lot of demons over the years. Even if my daughter can't do it, there is a master here!"

Geng Mingchuan looked at the blind old man Du Yuan, expecting to get a positive answer from the mouth of this mysterious alien.

Inviting ghosts is a helpless move, and it can only be done when the family is alive and dead. Many years ago, Geng Jiabao was facing such a crisis, so he was forced to invite ghosts.

But after inviting ghosts, they also have to endure the never-ending greed of demons and ghosts. If you can't satisfy the demons, then the family will suffer from the demons.

Over the years, Gengjiabao has become more and more powerless and miserable.

If he could really get rid of the demons he had invited, Geng Mingchuan would of course be happy in his heart. The only worry is that if the ghosts are not eliminated, it will inevitably anger the demons and bring disaster to Gengjiabao.

Geng Jia was a little frizzy, which Geng Mingchuan already knew, and she had already seen it after she mistook the guest for a demon and made rude behavior.

Geng Mingchuan couldn't believe Geng Jia's words, so he tried to get a positive answer from Du Yuan.

The old Du Yuan did not immediately answer Geng Mingchuan's words, but seemed to be looking at Jiang Yuan with a pair of blind eyes, and asked:

"The old man does have the idea of subduing demons and eliminating ghosts, I don't know what this son thinks?"

Du Yuan's question, Geng Mingchuan was able to understand, and sighed in his heart that a master is a master, this son is very likely to be a child of a family, Du Yuan seems to have known.

But Geng Jia looked puzzled and couldn't help asking:

"Master, why do you have to ask him? It's none of his business. ”

Du Yuan didn't pay attention to the apprentice, but looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation.

Jiang Yuan said with a smile:

"I also want to see Mr. Du's ability to subdue demons and subdue ghosts. Other than that, I don't have any other ideas. ”

When Du Yuan heard this, he seemed to settle down. He turned his head to face Geng Mingchuan:

"Lord Gengbao, please order someone to bring the ghost shrine. ”

Geng Mingchuan heard Du Yuan say this, hesitated for a moment, and still commanded his subordinates:

"Go and bring the shrine and place it in the courtyard outside the guest hall!"

The subordinate went away.

Everyone had no intention of talking and laughing, and they were all waiting for what would happen next.

Soon, I saw that the six subordinates seemed to be carrying something on their shoulders from far and near, and came to the outside of the living room, and only then did they put down the heavy square thing on their shoulders.

Geng Mingchuan led the full house of guests out of the guest hall and headed towards the courtyard outside the hall.

When I left the guest hall and came to the courtyard, the cold air was frozen.

With white breath in their mouths, the people walked towards something in the middle of the courtyard, but they looked nervous and did not dare to get too close.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and saw that on the stone slab in the middle of the courtyard, there was a square stone altar, with a base on the stone altar, and a small pocket house carved out of gray and black unknown stone on it.

The length and width of this room are no more than a foot high, but they are vividly carved, whether it is the rows of tiles on the roof, or the pillars and stone piers under the eaves, they are all extremely clear. The door of the hut was empty, and it was dark inside, and it was impossible to see what was inside for a moment.

The whole body of the hut is an oppressive gray-black, and although the shape seems gorgeous, it can make people feel the cold and evil spirit revealed by its body.

"This is the ghost shrine?" Jiang Yuan was very curious about this pocket stone carving.

He came to the shrine and bent down to look into the dark one, but it was empty, and there was not even a statue of the shrine.

And there is no ghost breath on this shrine, so I don't know what it is used for.

At this time, I only heard Du Yuan say loudly:

Of course, this son is not among them. ”

Geng Mingchuan immediately returned to the eaves of the guest hall with a group of guests, only looking at Jiang Yuan, Du Yuan and Geng Jia in the courtyard from a distance, as well as the gloomy ghost shrine.

Then, Du Yuan said to Geng Jia:

"Apprentice, take the cathode compass!"

"Okay Master!" Geng Jia quickly took out the cathode compass that he had put away before from the cloth bag, "By the way, Master, isn't this cathode compass broken?"

Du Yuan smiled:

"It's okay to use it as a reference. ”

Geng Jia nodded suspiciously, then began to lay the compass flat in his palm, and began to stare at the pointer above.

After looking at it for a while, Geng Jia shook his head and said:

"Master, this cathode compass still refers to this guy, and there is no sign of transfer at all. ”

The "that guy" in Geng Jia's mouth is Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan lost interest after looking around the ghost shrine for a while and not noticing the ghost qi. He returned to the eaves of the guest hall and looked at Du Yuan and Geng Jia in the courtyard with the other guests.

I only heard Du Yuan continue to instruct Geng Jia:

"The hand of the cathode compass remains unchanged, indicating that the demon has not returned...... Take human blood!"

Geng Jia nodded, then took out a porcelain vase from the cloth bag.

She came to the shrine and poured all the liquid from the porcelain vase on top of it. The liquid in the porcelain bottle was scarlet and viscous, and it seemed to be the human blood that Du Yuan said.

I saw that the blood flowed slowly down the eaves of the shrine to the four corners, and then it was led down by the four pillars from the corners of the eaves, and when it came to the stone pier at the bottom of the pillars, it all flowed towards the shrine.

Only then did everyone realize that the bottom of the shrine seemed to have an angle, which allowed blood to flow into the shrine without leaking.

When Jiang Yuan saw this scene, he asked Geng Mingchuan beside him:

"Lord Gengbao, is this ghost shrine used for blood worship of demons?"

Geng Mingchuan replied:

"It's a shame to say, but it's really a last resort. ”

Jiang Yuan asked again:

"May I ask what is so particular about this ghost? Why did Pangjiabao suffer a disaster, and the whole castle could not be spared?"

耿明川 says:

"I don't know what happened to Pangjiabao, and I may not be able to conclude it until after careful investigation. And to invite ghosts, the most important thing is to pay attention to communication and worship. Only special people can communicate smoothly with demons and ghosts after encountering demons in the wild, so that they can invite demons back to worship. Words of Offering...... That's what it means......"

"Special person?" Jiang Yuan wondered, "What kind of person can be regarded as a special person who can communicate with demons and ghosts?"

Geng Mingchuan hesitated for a moment and replied:

"The dying man. ”

At this time, I saw that in the courtyard, Du Yuan and Geng Jia both stopped all movements, staring at all the movements around them vigilantly.

Geng Jia held a Xihe fruit in one hand and a bronze mirror in the other.

And Du Yuan held the bamboo pole motionless, like a sculpture. His blind eyes were closed at this time, as if he was using his heart to feel everything around him.

Everyone under the eaves of the guest hall was also infected by the atmosphere of the two of them, and waited nervously for everything.

After a while, nothing seemed to happen.

Du Yuan opened his mouth and asked:

"Apprentice, have you found any traces of demons?"

Geng Jia looked at the cathode compass in his hand, then patted it again, and finally said helplessly:

"Master, there is no trace of demons and ghosts, and even this cathode compass is still bad. ”

Du Yuan nodded, and was about to speak, but at this time, the situation suddenly changed.

"Woo——!"

I only heard a brief horn sound in the night sky, above the arrow tower of the watchtower.
