Chapter 202: Zhengyang Gangbu, Father-Eating Curse
Things in this world are wonderful beyond words.
The cause was sown at the beginning, and the result is reaped now.
At first we planted beans, now we pick fruits.
Perhaps, even if you don’t go out of your way to look for the dream fruit, the dream fruit will come to you by itself.
Li Changxiao does not practice Buddhism and does not care about cause and effect, but sometimes he has to sigh that things in the world are like an invisible thread that connects everything.
But if you say that this invisible thread is cause and effect, he will smile and think that it is not necessarily the case.
The world is so vast and wonderful that cause and effect cannot be fully explained. Just the depletion of spiritual energy is a slap in the face to all the cultivation systems and theories in the world.
No one could have predicted it, and there was no trace to be found.
Call it a coincidence or a necessity, Li Changxiao couldn't understand it and ignored it.
At this time.
The thin old Taoist priest has already seen some clues.
He said in a deep voice: "The world is truly amazing."
"This Yanjia Village is located in the mountains. The surrounding mountains form a siege. The terrain is connected, with no way out or in."
"The dead souls here either dissipate between heaven and earth or are trapped in the mountains, unable to get out, and accumulate over the years. So when the full moon night comes, the moonlight shines in, revealing the ghosts lingering here one by one."
"Look at me helping the dead souls to be reborn!!"
Say it.
A spirit flew towards him.
The skinny old Taoist priest stepped on the Zhengyang Gangbu with every move, performing some magic with his hands, and then stabbed forward with the bronze sword.
The soul is scattered.
These wandering souls are trapped here, but they are actually not very harmful. At most they can attach themselves to the human body and cause fever and headache, which will get better in a few days.
But if this thing accumulates too much, it will cause the yin energy to accumulate, which is not good in the long run.
Let’s talk about how several wandering souls were killed in succession.
What he discovered was a ferocious ghost.
Green face, fangs, half of the body exposed.
The old Taoist priest fought with the evil spirit for several rounds, using every possible means. Finally, he took out an eight-diagram treasure plate and printed it on the evil spirit, thus completely destroying it.
Everyone killed ghosts along the way.
However, he discovered that the ghosts seemed to all come from one place, so he went to the source to eliminate them.
Finally, we arrived at a family’s well.
The thin and old Taoist priest was very skilled and courageous. He was performing a ritual in front of the well, but he actually invited ghosts to possess him. The ghosts in the well rushed into his body one after another. Finally, he took a black pill.
The ghosts that entered his body were digested one after another and turned into wisps of clear air that overflowed from his pores.
Li Changxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
This old Taoist priest has great skills in the mortal world.
If he was not mistaken, most of the ways to exterminate ghosts in the mortal world involve holding an altar and asking for the consecration of magical instruments. This has remained unchanged for many years because this method of exterminating ghosts does not require reliance on spiritual energy and has existed since ancient times. Therefore, the old Taoist also knows a thing or two, but he is not proficient in it, and it is not his specialty.
His real signature skill is the Zhengyang Gangbu, which might come from the "Reform". By taking this step, he can absorb the soul into the body, destroy it with the Yang energy in the body, and then replenish the Yang with Yin, so that Yin and Yang can work together.
This set of steps involves the soul, yin and yang, and even sacrificial rituals, etc. This is only what Li Changxiao can see. There must be more aspects that he cannot see.
and……
At present, from what Li Changxiao has heard and seen, this thin old Taoist priest is probably the one who can best reflect the effectiveness of the reform.
This method can really prolong life. The old Taoist priest is over sixty years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man with abundant energy and blood. If nothing unexpected happens and he doesn't suffer from a serious illness, he can live to at least eighty or ninety.
Even in a peaceful and prosperous age, not many people can live to be eighty or ninety.
It is inextricably linked to this Zhengyang Gangbu.
I think this old Taoist priest must have had a fortuitous experience in the past and learned this move.
After all the ghosts were killed, everyone's eyes were focused on the well. The old Taoist jumped down and exclaimed after landing.
But I saw that the bottom of the well was full of bones, which could be considered a mountain of corpses.
Everyone jumped down one after another. They saw bones everywhere. The old Taoist priest's words were indeed true. Yan Shiliu, who had been silent before, finally spoke up: "This is the well tomb of Yanjia Village."
When everyone heard this, they knew it was the custom of Yanjia Village, so they didn't say anything more. They just felt strange. They had heard of water burial, earth burial, and cremation, but this was the first time they had seen well burial.
Yan Shiliu didn't understand either. After all, he was only about fifteen or sixty years old and didn't have much experience.
The thin old Taoist frowned slightly and looked around.
Li Changxiao asked, "Can you see the problem?"
The thin old Taoist priest hesitated to speak and then remained silent.
……
Another demon was eliminated, and Yan Shiliu gave each of them one hundred taels of silver.
At this point, the demon-killing order has been mostly completed. As for the last "demon", Yan Shiliu looked a little strange.
There has always been a saying in Yanjia Village: "Three evils, two ghosts and one curse."
Now the three evils and two ghosts have been eliminated. They are dangerous, but they are all visible and tangible. However, the last "curse" can truly be called a "weird" existence.
Speaking of this, Yan Shiliu couldn't help but get goosebumps.
It turns out that in Yanjia Village, there has always been a taboo curse circulating: "Eating relatives" is also called "eating father".
This is a taboo topic in Yanjia Village and it is forbidden to discuss it. Yan had heard about it by chance when he was sixteen years old, but he was still young at that time and soon forgot about it. Later, he learned the skill of "flying on the ground" due to a chance encounter. He liked to climb walls and fly over rooftops, peek at widows taking baths on West Street, spy on couples having sex, and listen to their private conversations. Only then did he gradually come to understand the curse.
Yan Shiliu looked solemn, "The so-called father-eating curse literally means eating your own father alive."
Hearing this, Li Changxiao narrowed his eyes for a moment, then slowly relaxed them. He understood in his heart. It was not until this moment that he got to know the real secret of Yanjia Village.
"This is ridiculous." Cai Wei said.
Yan Shiliu said, "Don't worry, listen to me carefully. This father-eating curse is a curse that only circulates in the bloodline of Yanjia Village. The peak period of the curse is around 25 to 30 years old."
"If you can help me break this curse, I will be very grateful."
Yan Shiliu bowed solemnly.
"Little brother, curses are mysterious. If this curse is just a lie circulating in the market, and we have wasted our efforts in vain, what should we do then?" said the swordsman.
Yan Shiliu was stunned. At this time, the old Taoist said, "It's okay. Even if you are talking nonsense, I will stay and help you investigate. To eliminate the demon, you should eliminate it to the end. There is no reason to give up halfway."
Li Chang smiled and said, "The world is so big that nothing is impossible. You are all people who possess supernatural powers. You should know that the curse that Brother Yan mentioned is actually possible. However, if this curse really exists, it must be very dangerous. You should carefully consider whether to stay or leave."
Hear the words.
Only then did everyone calm down, and as for the second half of Li Changxiao's sentence, everyone automatically ignored it.
But after hearing about the existence of this curse, my understanding of Yanjia Village was cast into a shadow.
Yan Shiliu was overjoyed. He asked a few people to keep it secret if they investigated the curse, otherwise it might cause displeasure among the villagers.
at night.
Everyone went to sleep.
Li Changxiao slept at the door because it was cool and spacious there.
In the dream space, a dream tree was glowing with fluorescence. Books on magic from Buddhism, Panlong Sect, and Venerable Fengxue were placed in order on the left. Some of the books were frequently read and had wrinkles on them. On the right side, there were ten wine jars, each containing a kind of divine essence.
In this small space, there is also his Mirror of the Cause and the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Apart from these things related to cultivation, there are also mundane items such as bamboo boxes and windmills piled up in the corners.
Although there are many, they are arranged in an orderly manner.
Li Changxiao came to the front of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
If he remembered correctly, the tripod was a heavy weapon.
The precious tripod with nine dragons engraved on it must be a treasure that protects the country and can only belong to the royal family.
