Chapter 28: The Law to Exorcise Evil
"Om! What! What! Ba! Mi! Hum!"
Just when Zhang Chusheng was completely immersed in a dream, Pei Wende in reality had already masterfully recited the "Six-Character Mantra".
The prayer beads that were originally floating and hovering around him were spreading directly outwards, forming a mantra barrier that wrapped Pei Wende, Zhang Chusheng, and Afeng in it.
Looking from a distance, one can see the golden "swastika" characters spitting out from Pei Wende's mouth one after another, becoming part of this mantra barrier.
——Avalokitesvara Mantra·Six-character Mantra!
"Laws! Exorcise evil spirits!"
The next moment, those "swastika" characters with the power to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons flew out instantly and merged into Afeng's body.
Pei Wende, on the other hand, closed his eyes slightly and continued to recite the six-character mantra, trying to awaken the remaining will of the other party with the most authentic Buddhist mantra.
"Om! What! What! Ba! Mi! Hum!"
The "Six-Character Mantra" is a magical power specifically used to subjugate and exorcise demons.
For ordinary people, the thought of it has the effect of calming down and getting rid of evil spirits, let alone an accomplished practitioner like Pei Wende.
"ah!"
Under the purification of the endless stream of "swastika" characters, Afeng, who had been unconscious, woke up again, not letting out a shrill wail.
The terrifying, inhuman wailing even shocked the entire inn, causing people in the inn who had not fallen asleep to cast a surprised look.
"Huh?"
I also didn't expect that Pei Wende would act so decisively and cause such a big commotion.
Old Cao's face changed slightly at first, and then he quickly walked towards the inside of the inn, ignoring Yue'er next to him.
"Don't worry, everyone, it's just that the monster Afeng turned into has woken up."
In time, he stopped the crowd who wanted to "watch the fun" and only heard Old Man Cao in the inn say in an understatement.
"The young master is doing a ritual to exorcise evil spirits. I hope everyone will not interfere with the exorcism ceremony."
Although he had only witnessed the horror of zombies not long ago, Old Man Cao actually calmed the frightened crowd with only a few words.
Although there was an expression of the post officials' reluctance to cause trouble, it was also possible to see the prestige of Old Man Cao among this group of people.

"Om! What! What! Ba! Mi! Hum!"
Pei Wende was not distracted by the commotion he caused. At this time, Pei Wende was concentrating on getting rid of the corpse evil spirit in Afeng's body.
Just as Pei Wende had expected in advance, the relic beads certainly have the ability to exorcise evil spirits, but that is based on the fact that they are still intact.
After one of the relics "filled" Zhang Chusheng's heart, no matter how Pei Wende developed more powerful abilities, its essence was still missing and incomplete.
Under normal circumstances, this doesn't have much impact.
After all, Pei Wende himself is not a practitioner who specializes in "closed-mouthed meditation".
Even without the assistance of the power of mantra, it would not have much impact on his own combat effectiveness.
However, precisely because his major is not the power of mantra, Pei Wende can only rely on this rosary in addition to reciting a few scriptures and mantras to exorcise evil spirits.
If he wants to truly save Afeng, Pei Wende must find a way to reproduce the complete wish blessing of this rosary.
In fact, this was what Pei Wende said was the opportunity for Zhang Chusheng to "enter Taoism".
"Om! What! What! Ba! Mi! Hum!"
As Pei Wende recited, the one hundred and seven relic beads no longer floated or rotated around him, but gradually moved closer to Zhang Chusheng, who had his eyes closed.
Almost at the same time, at the expense of thousands of "selves", Zhang Chusheng miraculously gained more than ten years of experience in practicing mantra.
"Om! What! What! Ba! Mi! Hum!"
It is also the six-character Avalokitesvara mantra, but this time the person reciting this mantra is no longer Pei Wende, but Zhang Chusheng, who still has his eyes closed.
Surrounded by one hundred and seven relic beads, he himself is the last and most critical one hundred and eighty relic beads.
"Laws! Exorcise evil spirits!"
Under Pei Wende's deliberate guidance, Zhang Chusheng used all his strength to shout out the authentic mantra rules almost like a roar.
tumultuous!
In an instant, the golden mantra barrier quickly poured in, creating internal pressure.
"ah!"
The corpse evil spirit transformed by Afeng only had time to let out a final wail before most of its evil energy was washed away by countless "swastika" characters, leaving only a weak evil energy.

"What's next? What are you going to do?"
After witnessing this scene, Xiaoqing, who was hiding in his collar, couldn't help but speak again.
Xiaoqing found that since Pei Wende came to this inn, he had repeatedly broken the principle of "not talking" and took the initiative to communicate with the other party several times.
This was certainly due to Pei Wende's unconventional character, which made Xiao Qing look at him with suspicion.
But on the other hand, this is also a manifestation of her becoming more humane.
Since experiencing the "Mirage Incident", Xiaoqing has become more and more able to accept her own changes calmly, and her attitude towards Pei Wende is no longer as evasive as before.
"If this continues, this person will only turn from a zombie into a dead body after all his anger is gone..."
Zombies are ghosts that gather evil spirits from heaven and earth and are born with hostility, even if they are just people infected by zombies.
For Afeng, who has been completely assimilated by the zombie evil, he is now no different from the zombies who feed on blood and evil spirit. When the evil spirit dissipates, he will die completely.
Green Snake didn't believe that Pei Wende didn't know this, so she was curious about what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.
"Or are you just lying to the old man?"
"You didn't intend to save this kid from the beginning?"
While he was teasing Pei Wende like this, Xiaoqing's curious eyes stayed on Ah Feng for a long time.
Because she is very curious now, what exactly does Pei Wende plan to do next?
In other words, Xiao Qing is now very curious about how Pei Wende plans to finally save this human being who has obviously transformed into a corpse.
"Xiaoqing, what do you think is considered 'death' for a person?"
Just when Xiaoqing thought that Pei Wende was not going to answer his question, he suddenly asked a rather philosophical question.
“Does stopping of the heart count as death?”
"Or is it true death when the brain loses consciousness?"
In ancient society, if the heart beats, one would definitely be considered dead.
Because in this era there is not yet such advanced medical technology that can restart the heart when it stops beating.
Even in the 21st century with advanced medical technology, the disappearance of brain waves is a proof of "death".
Because the medical skills at that time could not make the brain waves active again.
If he were Pei Wende before time travel, he would definitely think so too.
But since coming into contact and starting to practice, Pei Wende's understanding of "life and death" is no longer as superficial as ordinary people.
In the eyes of ancient people, death was considered as if the heart stopped beating.
In the 21st century, death is considered only when the brain waves disappear.
In the eyes of today's Pei Wende, as long as the soul of the deceased has not yet gone to the underworld, it can be "rescued."
