Chapter 14: Daylight Enters Town, Ghosts Walk at Night
After sweeping the periphery of Dahuai Town, Wu Yi did not go further. After marking the abnormalities in several unusual places, he returned to the place where the Lin family guards had stayed before.
After half a day, these guards had built several cabins on the spot and cleared a piece of open space. They were worthy of being from a big family. They worked hard and conscientiously.
Five strong men also participated in the construction of the cabin. They were very strong and could cut wood, drive piles and sharpen them much faster than those ordinary guards. However, there were so many guards that it was hard to tell which side was faster, but it was true that the construction of the cabin was much faster after the five strong men joined.
Wu Yi did not build the cabin with them, but it did not mean that he had nothing to do. On the contrary, he was actually the most tired one.
After asking about Dahuai Town before coming, Wu Yi prepared some items to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits. With Li Gu's tiger skin, Wu Yi searched hard, and took several handfuls of soul-suppressing incense alone, and a large stack of exorcist talismans. In the end, if even Li Gu couldn't bear it, Wu Yi would have taken everything he could.
At this time, Wu Yi kept putting exorcist talismans into the cabin. On the outside, it seemed to be the same as an ordinary house, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the mysterious sound of Taoism, as if there is an immortal preaching. In fact, the text on the exorcist talisman is the content of the "True One Persuasion and Interpretation of the Magic Sutra" written in Xuanwen.
Wu Yi's realm is limited, and what he took is just the simplest exorcist talisman, which is a product made by his senior brothers. It can only block lonely ghosts, but with these, he will not be besieged by countless wild ghosts, and can focus on dealing with spirit ghosts, that is, those ghosts who have mastered supernatural powers and have solid spirits, which is equivalent to the first realm of Qi refining for cultivators.
Even the most basic exorcist talisman, Wu Yi, a Qi-sensing disciple, could not use too much. After putting all the cabins into the exorcist talisman, Wu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his robe sleeve and smiled bitterly. He had used up most of his spiritual energy. It was unknown how long it would take to fully explore Dahuai Town. The previous plan of not rushing into anything was indeed a wise choice.
Wu Yi still had some soul-soothing incense on him, but compared to the exorcist talisman, which would not be damaged as long as the ghosts did not attack, the soul-soothing incense could be used less and less. Wu Yi planned to light it when the ghosts attacked. The soul-soothing incense could not only protect his soul from being harmed by the ghosts, but also make the ghosts' spirits disperse and unable to use their strength. It could be said to be a powerful weapon.
Everyone hurried and finally built the cabin before dusk. After eating a pot of steaming hot rice, everyone fled back to the cabin to sleep. There was no other way. The air around Dahuai Town was cold at night. It was not like July in the human world, but it was no different from the cold winter. It was cold to the bone marrow and painful.
Strictly warned these ordinary guards not to go out, otherwise there would be a big change. After briefly describing the magical powers of the ghosts, Wu Yi saw that the guards were frightened and nodded repeatedly, and left the cabin with satisfaction.
Wu Yi did not expect these guards to help him suppress the ghosts. It would be fine if they did not make trouble. If it were not for the fact that they could help with some rough work, he would have sent them away early. If the ghosts took their blood and swallowed their souls when fighting with the ghosts, Wu Yi would not be uncomfortable, so he told them not to go out.
In fact, if there was a dispute with the ghosts, Wu Yi did not have the leisure to protect them, but he did not deceive them.
Finally, Wu Yi came to his cabin, tied ropes at the four corners, and hung a bell on each. This is the most precious item Wu Yi has besides the Yin-Na Talisman given to him by Li Gu. At a glance, it is a warning bell, but in fact, the arrangement of the ropes forms a formation.
But this formation is a bit useless and cannot stop ghosts from coming in. On the contrary, it is used to prevent ghosts from escaping. It also requires the master of the formation to control it in the middle, that is, close-range combat.
Even so, this formation can suppress ghosts. If a ghost that was originally fighting Wu Yi was introduced into this formation, Wu Yi could easily suppress it.
Wu Yi has been busy improving his cultivation since he entered the sect. He has not yet taken the time to learn the four essentials of cultivation - the Danqi Fu formation, but the improvement of combat power by these side doors of cultivation is also obvious. When he went out, he felt the importance of the four essentials, and Wu Yi couldn't help but think of learning these side doors.
However, this matter is the most important thing at the moment. Besides, you can't learn the alchemy array just because you want to. Taoist books and mentor resources are indispensable. Wu Yi had to temporarily suppress the idea of learning this.
The sun gradually set, and the sky, which was originally overcast, was now filled with clear whispers, which were much clearer than during the day.
There were begging for mercy, bad words, charming and tender, and gloomy and terrifying. In addition to these obvious tones, there were also some screaming and wailing. This place was like a hell on earth, tormenting the minds of ordinary people.
Fortunately, Wu Yi and the five strong men were all people who had entered the immortal gate and were determined.
And the other guards did not come here for the first time. Some of them were local people in Dahuai Town who had nowhere to make a living and went to the Lin family as guards. They were also familiar with the situation here, so they would not be scared to death when they heard the sound. It's just that the place where they were stationed this time was indeed the closest place to Dahuai Town.
Wu Yi sat quietly to recover the spiritual energy that had been lost due to the use of the ghost-exorcising talisman, while he listened carefully to the changes around him, ready to act at any time.
The sun sets, and the world seems to be covered by a curtain. The world of ghosts begins to appear. When you go out, you can't see your hand in front of you. This is an extreme darkness.
The wind howls, the waves empty, and the black air sweeps across the entire Dahuai Town like a tide. It is so cold that even Wu Yi, who has spiritual energy, can't help but shiver.
Wu Yi carefully infuses his eyes with spiritual energy, and then looks out. It is like a hundred ghosts parading at night outside the door. Ghosts are looking for living things everywhere, even a small scale insect will not be spared.
Wu Yi saw a ghost with a human head and a snake body lying on a rabbit. The rabbit tried to break free in fear, but was bound by the ghost and could not move at all. He only saw the ghost passing through the rabbit's body, and the rabbit's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, there was no blood and qi, and it became an empty skin.
After the ghost with a human head and a snake body got the blood of the rabbit, the slightly illusory figure became clearer. The eyes showed a bloodthirsty light, and it was extremely ferocious. Its body turned into a ball of smoke and went to look for other prey.
The ghost with a human head and a snake body before was actually a fierce ghost. A fierce ghost, whose ghost soul does not disperse for a hundred days and absorbs the fierce and yin energy between heaven and earth, can become a fierce ghost.
Fierce ghosts come and go like the wind, and are good at absorbing the blood in living things. If they cannot get blood and qi replenishment, because the ghost soul has no place to stay, it will gradually dissipate, but if it gets enough blood and qi, it can be promoted to a spirit ghost.
Spirit ghosts are different. They turn yin into yang, travel in the daytime, and often occupy an excellent ** to strengthen themselves.
The disciples of Yiqi Taoist Temple also killed several spirit ghosts a few times before, but in the end they often could not eradicate them. Either there were several spirit ghosts, or there were other reasons, such as this is a **, and the grade is not low.
Gradually, the living creatures around were almost devoured by the ghosts, and the strong bloody Yang energy emitted by Wu Yi and his group deeply attracted a large group of hungry ghosts. Even though the ghosts felt the disgusting smell from the house, they were still rushing towards the cabin like moths to a flame under the temptation of hunger.
As soon as the cabin sensed the strong ghost aura on the ghosts, it emitted a bright and clear light, and a Taoist chanted scriptures and preached about the way of life and death, and the way of rebirth.
The ghosts heard screams and hurriedly retreated, but the evil ghosts were not very smart. The front retreated, and the back came forward. The front retreated and rushed forward again after recovery, and unexpectedly formed a torrent of words for a while.
Even though the bright light continued to play a role, the evil ghosts could not come in for a while, but Wu Yi knew that this would not work, so he opened the door, called the five strong men, and walked out.
Simply defending will only lose the opportunity to attack, and become a dead defense. Moreover, Wu Yi just wanted to use these evil spirits to familiarize himself with the spells after the sense of qi was generated and the effect of the skills given to him by the black beetle.
Wu Yi, who was completely exuding momentum, was like a piece of delicious fat meat. The eyes of the stimulated ghosts were red, saliva was flowing, and they made sharp sounds, whistling towards Wu Yi like waves.
Wu Yi shouted: "Heh."
He was not in a hurry to use the Taoist magic, and used the nine moves given to him by the black beetle.
These nine moves seemed simple, but in fact, there were endless changes. After practicing for a while, Wu Yi's body was trained to perfection. His control of muscle membranes was far beyond that of ordinary strongmen, not to mention other disciples in the temple. He was able to use the strength of his whole body. This seemingly simple step stumped countless martial arts masters.
Wu Yi raised his leg and kicked a fierce ghost coming towards him. His right leg, wrapped with thick Yang Qi, directly destroyed the ghost's body, dispersing it into a ball of unconscious Yin Qi. This Yin Qi was slowly swallowed by the Yin-Na Fu hanging on Wu Yi's waist, making a ghost who wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up his companion's Yin Qi miss. The ghost roared angrily and rushed towards Wu Yi.
When fighting with ghosts, if you are not sure to swallow the Yin Qi of the ghost after death, it is better not to fight, because the later the battle, the more Yin Qi the ghost will get from its companions, and the stronger it will be, and the more difficult it will be to deal with.
There are even some ghosts who are smart and early, who work without exerting themselves during the battle, and take the opportunity to swallow up the Yin Qi of their companions to advance.
With the sound of fists and legs, and shouting, Wu Yi does not look like a Qi-refining practitioner at all, but like a strongman, which makes several strongmen who are fighting with ghosts on the side look at him sideways and marvel.
Wu Yi was so immersed in the battle with ghosts that he had no idea that a pair of dark red eyes were staring at him from behind the group of ghosts. Those strange eyes did not have a trace of emotion, just like a hunter seeing his prey.
