Chapter 60: It's Better To Believe In Him
There are more than a hundred households in the whole village, and a main road runs from east to west.
Although the old locust tree is gone, the spacious street is still cut off by a fence.
There was a shrine in the middle of the fence, surrounded by slaughtered animals, and it was still steaming.
The two rows of paper figures are all wearing red coats, wearing gold and silver, holding a sedan chair in their hands.
Su Yu vaguely felt that the people in Hejia Village were no longer just trying to avoid disasters.
It is more like the Qinghe Ghost King is regarded as a being similar to the immortal family, and it is regarded as the belief of the village.
The power of faith is the most terrifying thing. Su Yu understood why the old blind man didn't let Su Tangxue come with him. If she came, it would be really easy for something to happen.
Su Yu put his hands on the railing and jumped into the fence.
Curiously, he squatted in front of the shrine and looked at it.
What is enshrined in the shrine is a paper man wearing a shroud. The paper man holds a locust tree branch in his hand. The corners of his mouth are stiffly turned up, and his eyes are drooped. The painting is actually a smiling face.
Su Yu twisted out a ghost-suppressing charm and stuck it firmly on the paper man's face.
It is already noon, the time when the Yin Qi is the heaviest in the day.
A gust of cool wind blew by, Su Yu shrank his neck, nothing happened.
At this time, a rush of footsteps sounded behind him.
Su Yu looked back.
More than ten young and strong men came to the fence surrounded by an old man.
Su Yu glanced sharply and saw that some of them even had controlled knives in their hands.
The old man has a hooked nose and a sinister gaze in his deep-set eyes.
"Stranger, what are you doing here?" The old man's voice was hoarse and gloomy.
"I wish." Su Yu clapped his hands and stood up, replying naturally.
"Haha, what kind of wish did you make? Can you pay it back at this time?" the old man sneered.
"Marry a beautiful wife."
"Are you married?"
Su Yu shook his head, pointed at the shrine and cursed: "This bastard wants to steal my wife."
The old man's face changed drastically, and he said emotionally: "I think you have lost your temper and dared to be disrespectful to the Immortal!"
The group of people behind him jumped over the fence and approached Su Yu.
A muscular man took the lead and pointed the wooden stick directly at Su Yu's head, decisively and cruelly, without any hesitation in his eyes.
Su Yu calmly stepped aside and stomped hard on his outer ankle bone. For a moment, the man let out a howl like a killing pig.
The man clutched his ankle and lowered his body in pain. Su Yu's fist followed him from bottom to top and hit him fiercely on the chin. The man lay on the ground and fainted.
When the others saw this, they immediately swarmed over.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, a little surprised at his reaction speed, and even had the idea of leaving this man behind.
The old man gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Beat him until he is half dead and take him away."
Before he finished speaking, Su Yu jumped up high and slammed his knee into a person's face. Several bloodshot teeth flew out of the person's mouth. His body fell backwards and knocked back several people behind him.
After narrowly dodging the sneak attacks from behind, Su Yu secretly thought to himself that the strength and ruthlessness of these people's attacks were not like those of villagers, but more like vicious desperadoes.
He knew very well that in such a situation, what he wanted to do when fighting someone was to prevent them from using the knife in their hands.
Su Yu took the machete from his hand and felt that his mind became clearer and his mood became more exciting than ever before.
However, people still couldn't be killed. Su Yu only paused slightly with his hand, and then quickly slashed his neck with the back of the knife.
The man fell down in response.
When Su Yu gained the upper hand, he showed no mercy and used his swords one after another. The swords were close to the vital points but did not take any lives.
Five people were knocked to the ground in a flash of lightning.
Refreshing! Su Yu had time to take another breath and fight with others. Frequent breathing would not only cause difficulty in exerting force, but also make it easier for him to lose control.
During the fight, although Su Yu's moves were not as skillful as those of martial arts practitioners, they still had the feeling of taking a leisurely stroll.
Although the old man's face was as gloomy as ever, there were already waves in his heart. This young man was as slippery as a fucking loach.
Moreover, the people accompanying him are all in their prime, but their strength is actually not as good as that of a young man!
Su Yu seemed to be aware of his gaze and did not forget to give the old man a bright smile, showing his neat and white teeth.
The old man's eyelids twitched fiercely.
The remaining people shifted their positions and distanced themselves from him.
Su Yu shook his red palms. For things like fighting, it's enough to just practice your skills.
The power to connect to the secluded world instantly clung to the palms, and under the dazzling sunlight, the hands only emitted an imperceptible shimmer.
Su Yu threw the knife aside and appeared next to a person like a ghost.
"So fast!" the old man blurted out, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. Is this the speed a human can achieve?
A powerful and heavy punch collided with the blade. Su Yu did not dodge but increased his strength, his momentum was like a rainbow.
The blade exploded with a bang, and the force penetrated the blade and hit his chest like a heavy hammer.
A large amount of blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, and the man flew several meters away in one blow.
The miraculous boxing skills instantly made everyone stand on the spot.
Knives were scattered on the ground, and everyone looked at Su Yu in fear as if they were seeing an evil ghost.
Su Yu ignored them at all. He came to the shrine and kicked the shrine away. He stepped on the paper man and looked at the old man proudly.
"Old man, is this what you believe in? It's so lonely to believe in." Su Yu kicked the paper man away with disdain.
The old man exclaimed and immediately knelt on the ground. Several other people also came to their senses and knelt down in submission, reciting scriptures they had never heard before.
Huge fear appeared on their faces.
Su Yu couldn't help but be a little shocked. What kind of experience could make them fear this Qinghe Ghost King to such an extent?
He thoughtfully jumped out of the fence and came to the old man.
The old man's kneeling body was completely covered by Su Yu's figure.
The midday sun didn't even reach him.
Su Yu looked at him calmly and asked, "You've been kneeling for a long time, can't you stand upright with your legs?"
The old man suddenly raised his head, his facial expression as horrifying as that of a demon, and said in a hoarse voice: "You have caused a huge disaster! No matter who you are, you can never survive tomorrow!"
Having seen too many evil ghosts, Su Yu moved his face closer to look at him carefully.
After a moment of disdain, he said: "It's true. I'll be here again at the same time tomorrow."
"Old man, to be honest," Su Yu said with a smile, "it's better to believe him than to believe me."
Su Yu raised his head, and the light suddenly shone on the old man, and the sunlight stung his eyes slightly.
The old man lowered his head and buried his hands in the snow, holding on tightly.
Su Yu ignored them and turned around to continue walking west. If you like to kneel, just kneel.
Whether it was kicking away the shrine or beating up his followers, Su Yu didn't notice the slightest trace of ghosts after all the fuss. He felt faintly that it was more like the calm before the storm.
After going around in a big circle from the west, Su Yu could smell the aroma of meat when he returned to the old blind man's house.
He hadn't eaten anything since last night and hadn't slept yet. Su Yu followed the scent and entered the house.
