Chapter 31: Passive
Evil spirits are accustomed to appearing late at night, because this is the time when Yang Qi has receded and Yin Qi has diffused, which is most suitable for their activities.
Chen Youniao was sitting in the hall, without lighting a lamp, and everything was dark. While he was waiting, he was doing his homework, and there was a subtle rhythm between his long and short breaths.
This is the effect of practicing "Laoshan Suzhen Taoist Scripture".
As a result of drawing the talisman, although I had a good sleep and had a good meal, I was still a little tired and needed to adjust in time.
As the night progressed, the entire manor became silent.
There are dogs on the farm. When something happened two nights ago, the dogs were not disturbed. The main reason is that these dogs are placed at the farm gate and the courtyard wall to guard the door. If a thief comes, the dogs will be able to find it immediately. However,
Evil spirits are growing inside, hiding the eyes, ears and sense of smell of the watchdog.
Different evil spirits have different methods and abilities. They may be hallucinating, infection, erosion, or curse...
There are all kinds of strange things, very strange, and hard to guard against.
Fortunately, the performance of these abilities depends on the strength of the evil spirits themselves, such as the lowest evil spirits and resentful spirits. Their means of harming people are relatively simple, mainly "hallucination", which confuses people's mind and spirit and makes them crazy.
Or become demented. Generally speaking, resentful spirits do not have the ability to absorb human souls and blood essence, so they can only resort to sucking the blood of livestock to strengthen themselves.
This is addictive, that is to say, as long as you smoke it for the first time, there will be a second time, a third time...
Therefore, Chen Youniao arranged to lure the snake out of the cave tonight. The source of the evil spirit was lurking in secret and could not be found, so he had to let it come to the door on its own.
In the inner room, there was a light like a bean, and Song Tianfu was restless. There was a talisman hanging around his neck. It was not a house-safe talisman, but another more mysterious amulet. Its value was twice that of the house-safe talisman. In the past,
I bought it at a high price and wear it all year round, never leaving my side.
In addition to this amulet, he also held a knife tightly in his hand. This knife was extraordinary and had been opened by a Taoist priest. It had the function of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing evil.
The Song family is a wealthy family, and they have many magical instruments and talismans prepared in the house in case of emergencies. However, because the world has been at peace for a long time, people are used to living a comfortable life, so it is inevitable to slack off and relax.
Unexpectedly, this laxity would lead to trouble. The artifacts in the manor were in disrepair and lost their magic power, and evil spirits took advantage of them.
Thinking about it this way, the magical implements enshrined in the home have not been replaced for some years. It is doubtful how much magic power is left. Even the amulet that I rely on has been worn for three years. According to the person who drew the amulet, this
The talisman must be worn for a period of three years. After the period, the magic power will gradually decline and it will gradually become a piece of waste paper.
Magical tools and talismans are expensive and may not be available, especially now, if trouble occurs and evil spirits emerge one after another, the market will be even more difficult.
This is the root of Song Tianfu's intention to have a good relationship with Chen Youniao. Of course, the premise is that Chen Youniao has the relevant strength.
This time, it is both a helper and a test.
Time passed silently. I don’t know how much time passed or what time it was. There was no movement outside.
Snapped!
The lights flickered.
At the same time, Song Tianfu seemed to see a dark shadow flash outside the window. He was startled, jumped up, and even knocked over his chair.
The black figure just now was quite strange, with a long neck and long hair, like a woman.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Amidst the shouts and questions, two bodyguards who were guarding the door rushed in. They were not ordinary servants, but practicing family members with good skills. When they were at home, they belonged to the nursing home, and when they went out, they also worked part-time as bodyguards.
Force is one of the important foundations for maintaining family security. You must be willing to spend money to hire and support people.
Song Tianfu was surprised and confused: "Just now, did you see anyone passing by?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other, shook their heads and replied, "No."
"Am I dazzled?"
Song Tianfu murmured: "No, someone is clearly outside the window, and the shadow is reflected by the light."
It seems that this evil spirit is not simple.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Under the protection of the bodyguards, Song Tianfu came to the hall with a lantern and saw Chen Youniao still sitting there.
Chen Youniao raised his eyes: "Brother Tianfu, why are you out?"
Song Tianfu immediately told what happened just now.
Chen Youniao frowned and thought for a while: "I didn't notice any movement."
Song Tianfu's expression changed: "Let's go outside and have a look."
Outside the house, a big fat sheep tied there was safe and well. This sheep was newly purchased. The sheep raised in the manor had been killed, and the only working cow was also killed.
"this……"
Song Tianfu was very confused.
Chen Youniao sighed: "Evil spirits appear impermanently, make no sound, and are the most treacherous, so they are difficult to deal with."
Song Tianfu asked: "You mean it has already been here, but it was not fooled?"
"Evil spirits that have drank blood will become more cunning and cunning after being infected with evil nature."
"What should I do?"
Chen Youniao replied: "It can't escape the area of the manor. It will constantly come out to move around and drink blood. Sooner or later, it will be unable to hide its whereabouts."
Song Tianfu was anxious: "Then all the livestock on my manor must be eaten... No, it came out tonight, will it bite other livestock? Call someone, light a fire, and check!"
Soon, the gong rang, and the farmers stood up one after another. After a check, they found that the two watchdogs were gone, just like the cattle and sheep. Only two dog skins stained with some blood were left on the ground, looking horrified.
people.
The farmers were talking a lot, and there was fear in their eyes. Some things cannot be hidden. If they are not controlled or suppressed, they will run away. It won't take long for the entire manor to be abandoned.
Song Tianfu sighed. He came to Chen Youniao with the intention of cutting out the evil spirits. Now it seems that Chen Youniao is still too young and lacks the ability to do things. It is no wonder that he is not a formal Taoist priest after all.
Chen Youniao picked up the dog's skin with a wooden stick and looked at it. In an instant, he felt a ray of yin energy. This was because the other party had not left long ago, so the scene was preserved and the remaining yin energy did not dissipate.
Yin Qi is a harmful breath. If Yin Qi enters the body, it will cause very troublesome consequences.
Chen Youniao moved cautiously, feeling the presence of Yin Qi and couldn't help but shudder.
Song Tianfu asked the steward to send the farmers away and go back to their farmhouses to sleep. However, another strange incident happened on the farm, and even the watchdog was harmed. It is hard to say whether these farmers slept peacefully.
"Brother Chen, look?"
Chen Youniao said: "It's a bit tricky."
I know my own affairs, but in the final analysis, it is due to my lack of cultivation. I have not officially been promoted to a Taoist priest, and I have not mastered more Taoist methods. As a result, I am stretched and passive when facing evil spirits.
Song Tianfu said nothing more.
After that night, everyone did not sleep well, for fear that the evil spirits would come back again.
The next day, at noon, someone came from the Song family again. It was Song Tianfu's third uncle Song Ziyin. When he heard what happened last night, he immediately got angry, pointed at Song Tianfu and scolded: "I told you earlier, Chen
The boy at home is a fake Taoist priest who deceived you, are you satisfied now?"
Song Tianfu spread his hands: "What does Third Uncle mean?"
"Substitute someone, I'll call someone over."
