Chapter 65 Practice
"Third Po, go and boil some water quickly.
"What's going on? Even the immortal is injured."
"Who knows."
When Master Mujiang came back, he was covered in blood. The two old Taoists who had returned from escaping couldn't see why they were here. However, Xu Ziqing took a look and just asked Master Zhang to carry Mr. Mujiang back to his room.
Sure enough, an hour later, Master Mujiang woke up. When he went out, he was as fresh as ever. There was no sign of being injured at all, but his face was extremely bad, turning into the color of pig liver, and he looked extremely unfriendly.
However, people from the Luofu Sect would not take the initiative to touch his brow. Only Zhang Zhinan, Mrs. Zhang, was always being scolded by him like a grandson. He didn’t know what he was scolding, but Mrs. Zhang didn’t dare to refute at all, allowing this
The immortal rebuked.
Master Mujiang is also full of anger. It's not that he doesn't know what happened in Gutang Village, but he knows it very clearly due to a coincidence.
A place where good and evil fought thousands of years ago. Because a traitor from the Hidden Sword Villa was entangled with a beast from the Luofu Sect, and there was also news about the Luofu Sect’s treasure that was suppressed thousands of years ago, the Luofu Sect quickly attracted the attention of the place.
And the true master of Hidden Sword Villa.
Back then, the two ancient elders showed their magical powers and wiped out hundreds of demons and ghosts, and also suppressed two rebels here. This was all he knew. Before visiting Yangpo last night, he was actually prepared for this visit.
It was inevitable that Yangpo was haunted, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
At that time, after several people separated, he entered the west side of Wangyang Slope alone, relying on the courage of his master.
After all, he was a master in the pill-forming stage. He was not as cautious as Zhou Chen and the other two. Although they encountered ghost mist, ghost pawns and even ghost generals along the way, they were all captured by his thunderous methods.
Just as he was walking deeper and deeper, he reached the entrance of a crypt in a daze. He was happy, thinking that he had discovered the lair of ghosts and evil spirits, but suddenly he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and it turned out to be an overwhelming ghost fog.
Then the tragedy begins.
Two big slaps came from nowhere, like kneading dough, and tortured Master Mujiang enough.
A big palm flew over here, and he was thrown away, and then the big palm covered him down. Poor Mujiang, who was a master in the alchemy stage, was kneaded like dough by someone's slap.
After a while, two big hands flew out of thin air, lifted him up like a chicken, swung him left and right, and pulled him.
Throughout the night, Master Mujiang went from cursing at the beginning to feeling numb all over his body and even lost his mind. He didn't understand what was going on.
He only heard one voice, constantly cursing.
"Little Zangjian kid, little Luofu kid, I'll beat you to death. I'll beat you to death, ah." Come on, come on, you kill me. You're bullying me with your virtues in the ascension stage, come on."
In this way, Master Mujiang was beaten all night long. In the end, for some unknown reason, the old devil didn't kill him. He just kicked him out of Wangyang with a flying kick from nowhere.
slope.
He vaguely knew that it was because of the traitor in Hidden Sword Villa that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster. Master Mu Jiang was now furious.
In fact, he didn't know that if Zhou Chen and Zhou Chen hadn't had those encounters before, he wouldn't have been the target of the leak. Poor Mu Jiang, in the five countries around him, he was respected by everyone in the Hidden Sword Villa.
A master at the stage of pill formation, he capsized in the gutter today and was beaten up with a black nose and a swollen face, but he had no place to reason with him.
"Where are those Luofu'ers?" Master Mu Jiang's anger gradually subsided and he thought of the Luofu people and asked.
"Back to the Immortal Chief, some of them are investigating the killing of livestock last night, and some are preparing the execution ground. Today, two Immortal Chiefs are going to do ghost hunting. Zhang Zhinan has no idea about the grudges between Luofu and Hidden Sword Villa.
Tell the truth.
"Have you ever caught ghosts with this method? You said they use this method to catch ghosts? Hahaha, just because those four young Luofu children have the ability to perform magic in a magic field to catch ghosts?? Humph, it is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous
At this time, Master Mu Jiang no longer had the graceful demeanor of the time, let alone the Taoist master's magnanimity. Even Zhang Zhinan was doubting that such a person could become an immortal. It was really unfair to God.
Judging from Zhang Zhinan's experience in the officialdom, although this Mujiang Taoist is powerful, he is probably not as good as him when riding a horse. Now he is cursing like a shrew, and he has really lost the face of Hidden Sword Villa.
But even though he thought so in his heart, how could Zhang Zhinan dare to say it out loud? He just kept smiling in apology.
Master Mujiang didn't say much to Zhang Zhinan and went straight to the dojo arranged by the Luofu Sect.
"Two immortals, you are finally here.
In a small farmyard, a group of people gathered around. An old woman was lying on the ground, crying and screaming. The most animals in her family died last night, and the remaining animals and poultry were all sucked by unknown ghosts and died.
die.
"Xian Chang, this is what our family relies on. We two old people have no labor, how can we survive now?
There are only two members of the old woman's family. She and her wife usually don't have to work in the fields, so they raise more chickens and ducks to support the family.
They were all dead now, and they didn't even dare to eat poultry and livestock. If they were bitten to death by unknown things, they would still die by sucking blood. They could only be burned, otherwise it would be unlucky.
Zhou Chen squatted down and carefully examined the wounds of the beasts. Although the wounds were a little bloody, Zhou Chen and Pang Gui had learned some basic skills for survival in the world when they were in the door, and they could tell at a glance.
problem.
"Well, Pang Gui nodded to Zhou Chen, then stood up and asked Zhou Chen to tell the villagers that he would go check around by himself.
Zhou Chen reached into his arms, took out a lock of silver, handed it to the old woman, and said, "Old man, this beast is already dead if it doesn't die. You should just look away. This is a little money. When the crisis in Gutang Village is resolved,
, you two old people will have an easy life."
"Ah? I can't do it. Immortal Chang, I can't do it."
The two elders were so frightened that it would be a great thing for the immortals to come to protect Gutang Village and help catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. How could they dare to take money when their own family didn't even have a simple meal to honor the immortals.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Between heaven and earth, a person is big, and a big mouth means a big belly. For other etiquette, the two old men should not be too particular about it. Accept it.
When the villagers nearby saw this, they all commented that Gutang Village was lucky to have such a good god in the world. Zhou Chen did not stop, nodded slightly, and then caught up with Pang Gui and left together.
"Junior brother, you are indeed a little different."
"Senior brother, what are you talking about just now? It's just a trivial matter. Senior brother can do it himself. Gold and silver are nothing but dirt to us." Zhou Chen said with a smile.
"No, even if I give it to them personally, it's just a show.
I can't do it like you, said Pang Gui.
Zhou Chen didn't say much about this matter, and instead asked: "Senior brother, did you see clearly the wound just now? It should have been bitten by human teeth. I didn't expect that we didn't catch up the night before, and we could find such a girl today.
The slightest trace can be regarded as a coincidence."
"Well, the animals were all caught with great force, and there were obvious marks of pinching on their bodies. I think it was the man who grabbed the prey with both hands, then bit it down and sucked the blood of these animals." Pang Gui said with certainty.
"I think so too. It seems that there are not only ghosts outside Wangyangpo, but also very suspicious people in this village. I just don't know who it is," Zhou Chen said.
Pang Gui: "The village is so big. After today's practice, we will walk around and check. That person cannot be avoided. Since this person sucks blood, he must have a violent aura in his body. As long as he is hit by us, or in our
Within ten steps, you will definitely not be able to escape if you think about it."
"Well, that's very good."
With the investigation results in hand, the two of them did not stop. The dojo was being arranged in the front yard of Zhang's Mansion in the village, and they still needed to go back to help. When they returned, the dojo in the front yard had been basically decorated, even Zhou Chen and Pang
Gui couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw it.
I saw that the originally empty front yard had been razed to the ground, and a small altar had been built in the middle. The yard was surrounded by flying spiritual flags, which were covered with talisman and seal stripes that were not yet dry, which were obviously written just now.
"Junior brother, you are back. How is the investigation?" Xu Ziqing put down the last talisman seal in his hand, put down the talisman pen stained with cinnabar, stood up and asked.
"We have basically found out that there is a problem with a person in the village who drinks blood. However, no one has been hurt so far." Zhou Chen said.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. After the ritual, let's find that person together. Xu Ziqing pointed to the dojo and said, "The dojo is about to be set up. Four people are needed to hold down the formation and sit in the four corners. Pang Gui, Wang Fu and others.
Watching the two knitted Taoist priests suppress all parties in the dojo, then Junior Brother Zhou and I went up to the altar to practice the Dharma together.
"Senior brother, you know so much," Zhou Chen said with emotion, and the other two people also felt the same.
Xu Ziqing smiled and said: "Actually, the Luofu Sect has many methods similar to Feng Shui and physiognomy, catching ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, drawing talisman formations, but they are never elegant, so don't envy them.
The three of them nodded and stopped asking. As the saying goes, everyone has his or her own way, and everyone has his or her own way of living. What belongs to others belongs to others.
"Get ready. As soon as Shen Shi passes, we must start practicing before the end of time. Otherwise, it will be too late. The yin and yang of the day will change, and we will have to wait until tomorrow.
Xu Ziqing ordered seriously.
"It's senior brother
The three of them called two old Taoists and gave each of them a talisman. They only had a brief knowledge of the art. With the talisman in hand, they could suppress the magic field.
"Humph, you dare to leave the dojo with your little skill?" A sudden voice sounded, and everyone saw that Master Mujiang had arrived. He rested for a while. After the man recovered, his face became completely dirty, and he tried his best to
Di and Luofu can't get along with each other. These words are also a nail in the flesh, especially for Luofu's disciples.
"Zhenren Mujiang, human life is at stake, good and evil are not two concubines. Although my little skill is not good enough, it is better than idleness and watching coldly.
The speaker was none other than the most despicable Wang Fu. His words choked Master Mujiang and made him want to use his spiritual sword to kill people.
"Wang Fu, you must not be rude. Xu Ziqing scolded him lightly and gave Master Mujiang a little bit of trouble, so he didn't really start a fight.
"Uncle Mujiang, Luofu has small skills, Hidden Sword Villa naturally also has great magical powers. I heard that your village has an evil-killing sword formation, but it's a pity that uncle doesn't have enough manpower, otherwise he can do both." Xu Ziqing said.
"Hmph, you know what I'm doing. If I have two or three more disciples here at Hidden Sword Villa, you will definitely see the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword Formation."
Master Mu Jiang felt bored and walked away, watching from a distance. He didn't know whether he wanted to see everyone in Luofu make a fool of himself, or he was worried that Luofu would really use some powerful means to subdue Guixie.
After the dojo was laid out, servants of the Zhang Mansion immediately brought in many furnishings, including large incense burners and tripods, tablets of heaven and earth, incense, wax, paper, money, etc. Everything needed was ready.
Time passed very quickly, and when it was almost time to arrive, Zhang Zhinan walked over tremblingly, bowed to the four Luofu people, and said: "There are hundreds of people in Gutang Village, and there are several immortals who have worked hard."
"You should try your best."
Xu Ziqing gave an order and waved his hand, and the two veterans flew up involuntarily. They were the first to return to their positions and took charge of the east and west sides. Then Wang Fu and Pang Gui took charge of the northwest sides respectively.
"Junior brother, get ready to start."
Xu Ziqing and Zhou Chen jumped onto the altar. They stepped forward, took burning incense, and burned incense together to pray, which was regarded as a sacrifice to heaven and earth.
"start!"
Zhou Chen and Xu Ziqing flew up and sat high on the altar. A large desk was placed in front of them. There were two gourds on them, a ghost-catching gourd and a demon-refining pot.
"Hey, they actually have such a treasure, no wonder they are so confident, "Huh! When my reinforcements with hidden swords arrive, I will use people to collect things, and I will make more work." Master Mu Jiang looked at the altar of Zhou Chen Er almost greedily.
There are two treasures placed next to the person. These two things, one is a spiritual treasure with a magical spirit, and the other is a somewhat mysterious demon-refining treasure. They are both coveted things.
"rise".
Xu Ziqing and Zhou Chen slapped the table together, and the two gourds flew up and hung on the left and right sides of the altar.
"The emperor and the sky are above, and the thick earth is below. The heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang are divided into the five elements. The so-called humans, demons, gods, demons and immortals are supposed to live in separate boundaries, but why?"
Xu Ziqing began to recite scriptures and mantras. While praying to the sky, he began to activate the secret mantras. I don’t know where he learned them. He saw that the entire dojo gradually became a layer of clear light, and in the center of the clear light were the two
A gourd.
"Junior brother, hurry up," Xu Ziqing scolded.
Zhou Chen obeyed his orders and recited the mantra, and then he saw the gourd mouth of the demon refining pot open. After a burst of light smoke, he saw a spotted bee flying out, and the buzzing sound was like a cattail leaf fan blowing.
Very big.
"Buzz,"
Chapter completed!
