Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 38: Execution of Demons
"But there is still a question, how can we find the location of the monster at the bottom of the river?"
Ji Yuan put away the bloody talisman in his hand, pondered for a moment and then asked.
But this time, Zhao Yuansong did not reply. Instead, he looked at the girl behind him.
Seeing several people looking at him, Xu Qiqi smiled, then took a step forward full of 'heroism', and then said proudly: "I am born with thunder... I am close to the thunder method, and I can deal with evil ghosts, demons and sins in the world."
, with an almost instinctive feeling.”
Among all the laws of heaven and earth, the thunder method is the most powerful, and it is the nemesis of all ghosts and demons. It has the ability to punish heaven on behalf of heaven.
Ji Yuan also did not expect that Xu Qiqi, who was similar to himself in age, would be naturally close to the thunder method, and Jiuxuanmen happened to have the inheritance of the orthodox Five Thunder Method.
It is foreseeable that this young girl, who has attained enlightenment and embarked on the path of spiritual practice at the age of fifteen or sixteen, will achieve no less than the third level in the future.
And an expert in the Ming Dao realm who is good at thunder method will be one of the top figures in the entire Dayu Dynasty.
Not only does it have unparalleled combat power in the same realm, but it also has the ability to challenge across borders. If it faces ghosts and demons, its killing power will increase several times, and it can even fight enemies across a large realm.
Since Xu Qiqi has the ability to detect monsters, it was logical that she led everyone and started walking along the Xiyu River.
Some people living on both sides of the Xiyu River, as well as pedestrians and boatmen coming and going, couldn't help but cast curious glances after seeing this slightly strange combination.
There are actually two Taoist priests, one old and one young, one young monk, plus a young girl and young master. No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit strange.
"Junior brother, why didn't you inform the county government?"
While looking for the hiding place of the monster, the fifth senior brother thought for a while and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "If we notify the county government, many officers, soldiers and policemen will definitely be present. Sometimes large numbers of people are not a good thing, and many accidents can easily occur."
It's not that they want to be heroes, but the large number of people and their skills inevitably adds variables. In addition, even the county government has to rely on their talismans and formation flags if they want to kill the monsters in the river bottom.
In this case, it is better to just take action with a few of them. As long as they are properly arranged, it shouldn't be too difficult to kill a monster that has not yet developed its magic power.
Even if something unexpected happens and the monster escapes, it will definitely be seriously injured and unable to cause trouble again.
At that time, it is not too late to notify the county government.
"It is precisely because of this that I only planned to invite that stupid scholar and Huixin from Baiyun Temple, and did not invite other monks in the city."
Ji Yuan said with a serious face.
There are quite a few monks living here in the entire county, but not many come from the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Although other monks have the power to slay demons, they are only reflected in their killing power.
Far inferior to the methods and techniques of the three monks, who can naturally restrain ghosts and demons.
It's a pity that the Confucian scholar is out again and can't be found for the time being, otherwise the trip would have been easier and smoother.
After listening to his junior brother's analysis, Guo Tao nodded frequently, just to see how much he had listened and understood a few words, only he knew.
It's not that he is stupid, but that the fifth senior brother who likes to do housework the most on weekdays has never been interested in things outside the Taoist temple. Except for occasionally accompanying his senior brothers when going out to perform rituals or buying some utensils for the temple, he is very
Never step out of the Taoist temple gate.
It is precisely because of this that Guo Tao knows very little about some things, but it does not mean that he is a stupid person.
"When the fighting starts later, senior brother must stay far away."
Ji Yuan opened his mouth, and although it was a bit hurtful, he still gave the instruction.
Once the monster is lured out, it will inevitably be a fierce fight. After all, even if the water is blocked, you are still on the opponent's home court.
And even if this kind of monster is not at a high level, it still has innate magical powers. In terms of power, it is not much weaker than the spells that can be performed only after practicing in the second level.
Not to mention secular mortals, even monks and warriors who have embarked on the path of spiritual practice cannot guarantee that they will not encounter danger.
Hearing this, Guo Tao nodded silently. He did not force himself on this point, but the look in his eyes seemed a little dim.
His expression was naturally noticed by Ji Yuan. The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to say something to comfort him, but as soon as the words came to his lips, the girl walking in the front suddenly stopped.
"That monster is at the bottom of the river in the middle!"
Xu Qiqi pointed to the river a few feet away and said solemnly: "The evil spirit is stronger than before. It is probably on the verge of breaking through!"
Everyone's expressions darkened. In fact, they didn't need the girl to remind them, they could already feel the evil spirit at the bottom of the river.
The scattered demonic energy is spreading along the undercurrent of the river. The river surface is still calm, but it gives people a strange feeling, as if a vicious beast is dormant in it.
In fact, there is indeed an extremely dangerous monster hiding at the bottom of the river.
"Junior brothers and sisters, you first go and evacuate the people around you."
Zhao Yuansong immediately shouted.
Behind him, two young men and women clasped their fists and said yes, then dispersed and began to evacuate the people on both sides of the Xiyu River.
It's just that even though the two of them are monks, they are just white. It is impossible for the people around them to believe their words. On the contrary, some ladies started cursing in the street.
Seeing this scene, the faces of Ji Yuan and others darkened, because they felt that the monster's aura was rising at the bottom of the river, as if it was trying to hit the bottleneck.
If it really reaches the next level and its essence is converted into magic power, then even a monk from the third realm who is good at water magic will not be able to easily kill it at the bottom of the river.
"It's too late, do it first!"
Ji Yuan took out the bloody talisman and said in a deep voice: "When there is some movement, these people will naturally leave."
When he saw several people around him nodding, he looked at Guo Tao beside him. The latter remained silent. Finally, he sighed, turned around and ran towards the houses on the shore, calling the people here to get away and take shelter.
At the same time, Zhao Yuansong also took out the set of formation flags and seven or eight fist-sized spiritual stones that were long and wide.
If a first-level monk wants to use magic weapons or formation flags, in addition to relying on the spiritual energy contained in these artifacts themselves, they also need pieces of spiritual stones or spiritual coins, etc., things with abundant spiritual energy for consumption.
"Amitabha, fellow Daoist Ji, just take action."
Huixin clasped his hands together, and one hundred and eight rosary beads had been removed by him.
When Ji Yuan saw this, he first took a deep breath, and then immediately punched out the blood-colored talisman in his hand, turning it into an afterimage. In just a few blinks, it flew to the center of the Xiyu River.
With the next breath, the aura contained in the talisman's gall bladder was activated, the golden runes bloomed on the talisman paper, and streams of abundant energy and blood suddenly spurted out.
This qi and blood does not have a disgusting smell, on the contrary, it exudes a light fragrance, and it is this fragrance that is an irresistible temptation for monsters.
The so-called essence and blood demon-attracting talisman is made from a large amount of cow blood, plus a variety of medicinal materials containing spiritual energy, which are refined for 18 days and then infected on the talisman paper.
Ox blood contains spirituality, and it itself has rich qi and blood. Coupled with various medicinal materials, once it is made into talisman paper, and then the runes are drawn with special gold paint, the special qi and blood released will make any
No monster can resist it.
In just a few breaths, the rich Qi and blood poured down, infecting a large area of the river, looking somewhat strange and terrifying.
On the bank of the river, Ji Yuan and others were calm, trying their best to contain their breath, while looking intently at the river.
One breath…three breaths…five breaths…
Finally, after the twelfth breath passed, a thick demonic aura rose upwards from the bottom of the river. The speed was staggering, and in a short time it was very close to the river surface.
boom!!!
The next moment, a water column rose into the sky, and a bloated black shadow flashed past, swallowing up the spirit demon-attracting talisman suspended on the river.
"Do it!"
Ji Yuan gave a low drink, holding the talisman tightly in his hand, ready to throw out all the talismans at any time.
The moment before he spoke, Zhao Yuansong beside him had already waved his arm, and eighteen small aqua flags flew out immediately, turning into afterimages on the river.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuansong threw a light blue jade plate forward. As his hands continued to quickly make seals, pieces of spiritual stones that had been prepared floated up and down on his chest together with the jade plate.
Strands of pure spiritual energy were absorbed by the jade plate. When Zhao Yuansong shouted, eighteen light blue thin lines flew out from the jade plate in front of him and disappeared into the eighteen small flags.
In less than three breaths, he arranged the set of water-locking formation flags. The eighteen small flags exuded an aqua-blue halo, covering an area of ten feet in radius.
At this time, the monster leaping out of the water was about to escape into the river, but it hit the aqua-blue halo. Not only did it fail to blend into the river water within reach, it even emitted a dull sound.
Loud noise.
It was also at this moment that everyone saw clearly the appearance of the monster. It was actually a huge catfish the size of a calf, with its body dark and covered in mucus!
"Kill the demon!"
Zhao Yuansong shouted loudly, and two figures flew out from beside him.
The boy and girl, Xu Qiqi and Jiang He, had a look of fear on their faces at this time. They pulled out the long swords they carried on their backs and tapped their toes on the aqua blue halo. They were able to walk on the river.
.
Clang!!!
In an instant, the sound of sword chanting suddenly sounded, and among the heavy sword shadows, green and yellow sword energy burst out. With the long swords in the hands of the boy and girl, they slashed at the huge catfish in the aqua blue halo.
!
However, the sword's edge and sword energy, which were indestructible, seemed to have lost their due edge at this moment. Even the skin of the monster could be cut open with power, and as soon as it came into contact with the mucus on the opponent's body, it involuntarily slid aside.
The expressions of the two of them changed, and they immediately and decisively retreated. Each of them twisted a talisman to guard against the monster in front of them suddenly erupting.
In fact, this catfish spirit did intend to fight back. It suddenly opened its big mouth, and a light yellow fishy smell immediately swept out from it.
As soon as this smelly smell came into contact with the hems of their clothes, bursts of white smoke suddenly appeared, and then a corner of their gowns and skirts were missing.
But at this moment, the monster suddenly closed its mouth, and instead of continuing to spit out the foul smell, it rolled violently on the spot.
A group of people looked closely and saw a red light that was rapidly enlarging on the belly of the catfish spirit.
"Do you really think that this poor demon-attracting talisman is so easy to swallow?"
Ji Yuan snorted coldly, and the seal he had made with his left hand suddenly changed.
At this moment, the backhand he had left in the talisman exploded, and the runes painted with special gold paint immediately turned into a ball of flames filled with the meaning of the sun.
And the rich blood energy contained in the talisman paper was immediately ignited under the action of this golden flame! This chapter has been completed!
