Chapter 13: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
Du Xu collected the spoils, turned around and saw that the bearded man was still dantian, and slowly woke up, although he was still a little messy, but his eyes were bright and restrained, indicating that his spirit and mana had recovered.
"A certain Yan Chixia, thank you little brother for your help!" the bearded man stood up, smiled heartily, and thanked Du Xu.
Du Xu didn't dare to take credit, although this big man looked heroic and upright, and his tone of voice was also sonorous and powerful, he looked like an informal and generous character, but Du Xu didn't dare to treat him as a rough and reckless man, just rushing at him just now decisively made a move, which shows that he is not a person who is easy to fool.
This good man called Yan Chixia has a bit of courage and a bold personality, he can be regarded as brave and resourceful when he shot at the female ghost just now, looking at his mana, but he is ruthless to the powerful soul, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death and only cares about his own life, Du Xu has a good impression in his heart, not to mention that he is almost the same name as the heroic Yan Chixia, Du Xu is naturally a little close.
When Du Xu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, he met Ning Caichen today, ** Nie Xiaoqing, and met a hero like Yan Chixia, and there is an example like Uncle Nine in front of him, could it be that he is traveling through the world of movies or novels?
Du Xu suppressed his doubts in his heart, collected his thoughts, and said with a long smile: "Yan Daxia doesn't need to be polite, we are people in the same boat, and we can't please the female ghost when they attack us, so it should be the right thing to do." ”
"Under Du Xu, this is my teacher, Uncle Nine, we are mages passing by here to hide from the rain, can eradicate this ghost thing, or rely on Yan Daxia's powerful spells!" Du Xu turned his head and introduced Uncle Nine to Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia laughed: "Call me Yan Daxia, I don't recognize it! A certain family is a mage who catches ghosts and demons, and he deserves the title of hero." ”
Du Xu took the opportunity to call him Brother Yan, and the two called him brother and brother for a while, and then sat down next to Du Xu's fire and communicated. Uncle Nine has traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, I don't know how many bizarre and weird experiences there are, and I don't know how many times he has passed by death, his experience is told to make Du Xu and Yan Chixia, the two juniors, thrilling to hear. Yan Chixia also came out to wander for half his life, he was a ranger when he was young, and then almost lost half of his life in an adventure, and he was blessed without dying, and was saved by a passing Taoist priest and accepted as a disciple, learning the spell of slaying demons and demons, and his experience can be called a legend, although the experience is not richer than that of Uncle Jiu, but he also has some emotion.
Du Xu listened to the experience of the two of them, and felt that they had gained a lot, both of them had studied Taoism for half their lives, and some of their cultivation experience and fighting experience were of great help to Du Xu. Du Xu found that the cultivators of this world focused on the "Fa", and the practice of the Dao Law focused on the magic aspect, but the real "Dao" was rarely touched.
Probably because this world is close to the edge of the end of the Fa, I haven't heard of a legend of someone ascending for thousands of years! Even a few great masters of the Xuanmen Righteous Path have a lifespan of only two hundred, and for the people of this world, immortality is just a legend. Whether it is Uncle Nine or Yan Chixia, the reason why they practice the Dao is not for immortality, but to protect human beings and eradicate ghosts, in the eyes of Uncle Nine and Yan Chixia, immortality is just a legend, and the practice is to practice spells to protect the party!
Although Du Xu has no experience, he has only practiced Taoism for less than half a year, but after all, he has the "West Kunlun Dao Sutra" that directly points to the Great Dao, and his vision and knowledge far exceed those in this world, and he often makes occasional witty remarks when talking to the Ninth Uncle and them, which causes them to think deeply. The three of them had a very happy conversation, and he felt like a confidant.
After chatting for a long time, the three of them suddenly fell silent together, Du Xu laughed, interrupting the silent atmosphere, he smiled: "This group of female ghosts harms people's lives, and sure enough, there are people behind them, and when I meet the three of us here today, he must have no return!"
Uncle Nine lightly twisted his short beard and said in a deep voice: "This demon, it will take a while to prepare the evil law, and it will be the best time to wait until the child, and we also need to prepare." Yan Chixia took over the conversation: "I came here, I heard from the neighborhood, this ruined temple is often always people, and the nearby villagers have asked me to get rid of the strangeness here, since I have agreed, I will eliminate the evil and completely solve the root cause." With two of them helping me, my confidence was boosted. ”
The three of them stood up immediately, Uncle Nine and Yan Chixia prepared the spell ceremony, Du Xu gathered the dart masters in the temple together, told them the beginning and end of the matter, and he instructed: "The female ghost just now is just an outpost, the really powerful one is still behind, now that most of the female ghosts have been killed, the people behind the scenes will definitely come to intrude again, and it will be time soon, when there will be evil demons to drive the evil ghosts to invade, what are your plans now?"
When the group of dart masters heard the bad news, their faces turned white with fright, and they were all at a loss, and they had no ideas, Ning Caichen was sad from the heart, and couldn't help crying, it was really sad for those who heard and saw tears, pushing the atmosphere into chaos. This is someone shouted: "Stop! Listen to me!" It turned out to be Lu Hui, who was lying on the side with serious injuries, he stared at the dart masters and Ning Caichen with angry eyebrows, exuding an awe-inspiring aura all over his body, and the people who were staring at him couldn't help but close their mouths, and their heads were weak.
The dart masters were panicked by Lu Hui's eyes, and they all remembered the majesty of this chief dart head on weekdays, and they seemed to have found the backbone and poured to Lu Hui's side.
Lu Hui calmed the emotions of the dart masters, and replied to Du Xu on their behalf, he humbly bent down and said humbly: "We are saving our lives, thanks to the great grace of the Heavenly Master, now this matter of eliminating ghosts, everything is subject to the will of the Heavenly Master, and we will do whatever the Heavenly Master wants us to do." Please be assigned by the Heavenly Master!"
"I won't send you to fight against powerful ghosts, and I don't need you to go into battle to kill the enemy, your martial arts practitioners have strong blood and yang energy, as long as ordinary little ghosts get close, they will be burned by the yang energy on your body, but for ghosts in a higher realm, you are a big piece of fat, more dangerous than ordinary people!" Du Xu said lightly, but he frightened all the dart masters into paleness.
"Of course, in fact, there is no big danger, and then Uncle Jiu and I will set up the altar and use the talisman array to protect you! Du Xu instructed them.
When the dart masters heard the order, they used the broken tables and chairs, statues, and thick branches in and near the broken temple under the command of Lu Hui to block the doors and windows.
Many talismans such as exorcism, evil spirit, golden light, and soul breaking are firmly attached to the doors, windows, and walls of the broken temple, and dozens of talismans form a mysterious formation, which firmly envelops the broken temple. With the last talisman in place, dozens of talismans shook together, and a faint golden light that could only be seen in the eyes of the law enveloped the broken temple, and only one of Du Xu's spells was needed to stimulate the "Ten Directions Golden Light Guardian House Array" recorded in this Taoist scripture, and the idle ghosts definitely couldn't break through the protection of this array.
Du Xu is busy here, Uncle Nine and Yan Chixia are not idle, they command the dart master to bring a big god case, put it in the temple, Uncle Nine untied a package from behind him, and took out the utensils used in the practice from the package, including tokens, dust, water purification bowls, gong furnaces, incense candles, four black and white flags, a gossip altar cloth, and a magic mirror, magic bell and other honor guards provided by Yan Chixia's friendship.
Uncle Nine spread the gossip cloth on the god case, inserted the four small flags in the four corners of the table, placed the three red candles in the back of the god case, enshrined the gong furnace in the center, put the water purification bowl, magic mirror, and law bell on the left hand side, and put the token in the most convenient position on the right hand.
Uncle Nine beckoned Du Xu to take out the talismans on his body, and there were more than 200 talismans on the two of them, including talismans, fire talismans, evil talismans, five thunder talismans, and light body talismans, and there were dozens of the most powerful five thunder talismans.
Uncle Jiu placed the talismans in different directions of the gossip according to his attributes, untied the peachwood sword from behind his back, and began to clean his hands, clean his face, tidy up his clothes, and other preparations for the ceremony.
Du Xu saw that Uncle Jiu was ready, so he gathered the ordinary people in the temple, and one of them gave a talisman and a golden light talisman, with the protection of this talisman, the ordinary ghost was enough to deal with the past.
The ninth uncle here picked up the token, stepped behind the table, and recited the words in his mouth. After Tiangang finished stepping on it, he shouted: "Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law!" and slapped the token on the table, and the three incense candles suddenly ignited spontaneously without fire, and the black and white flags were also windless.
Uncle Nine lit three sandalwood sticks with a candle flame and respectfully inserted them in the incense burner, and when it was approaching, a pervasive yin wind blew into the broken temple, making everyone in the temple chill.
Yan Chixia said coldly: "It's here!"
The three of them retreated behind the god case and waited for each other. Under the leadership of Lu Hui, the dart master retreated far into the innermost corner of the ruined temple. In the midst of everyone's waiting, the hour is approaching minute by minute.
After waiting for a stick of incense, a deep and strange laughter came from the depths of the forest outside the broken temple: "If you kill the ghost servant of this seat, you will pay for your life!" In the midst of the screams, Du Xu felt a huge yin qi that was rapidly approaching.
In the induction of Du Xu and the three of them, there were a lot of ghosts and zombies from all directions rushing towards this side, Du Xu stood up and said to the other two: "Okay, the ghost thing is here." ”
Lu Hui and the dart masters listened intently, and faintly heard countless ethereal cries, shouts, and cries coming, and they were getting closer and closer.
Yan Chixia pulled out the giant sword behind him, the sword was a palm wide, made of fine iron, and the sword body was engraved with countless rice grain-sized talismans. Uncle Nine stood beside him, his figure like the most upright green bamboo.
Soon, more than a few unjust ghosts poured to the gate of the broken temple, and there were at least a thousand of them densely packed in Du Xu's senses, all of which were thousands of miles of unjust ghosts and ghosts summoned by the evil cultivator with the ritual of a hundred ghosts walking at night.
The closer the ghosts get, the more piercing their ghost screams become, in fact, it is good to say that so many ghosts gather together and scream at the same time, which is enough to exceed the power of ordinary spells, but now as soon as the power of the scream is close to the broken temple, it arouses the effect of the ten golden light protection arrays on it, and the bursts of golden light flow on the windows, doors, and walls like flowing water, blocking the sound waves generated by the screams one by one.
