Chapter 45 Ghost Willow

It can only be said that Zhang Yan was careless, and did not use the evil chasing talisman to detect whether there were other sources of evil around him, so that the sudden change at the critical moment of the battle caught him off guard.

The ghost claw is not an ordinary weapon, it is the same as the poison traps on Yubei Mountain. Although it will not make you stand up immediately, it can still make people miserable after invading the meridians of the body through the wound.Even a Taoist like Zhang Yan who knows how to drive away Yin Qi from entering his body, dare not let the ghost claws catch him casually, because too much Yin Qi intruding will also make him temporarily lose his fighting power, which is undoubtedly a fatal thing .

So Zhang Yan had no choice but to interrupt the suppression of the female ghost in front of him in a hurry, and even the "Big Dipper Curse" in his mouth also stopped chanting without coming up because of the rapid retreat and dodge.

"what!"

Then two ghost howls almost rang in Zhang Yan's ears. Even with the Zhenling Talisman on his body, he was in a trance for a while. He could only try his best to strengthen the "Five Elements Qi Shield" to the extreme, and at the same time, the sword flower danced and sprinkled a piece of spiritual fire Covered by the talisman, the figure continued to retreat.

Zhang Yan stopped after retreating a full ten feet, but there was no sign of the three ghosts in his field of vision.

The clay figurine was still a bit angry, not to mention that Zhang Yan's temper was never good. He was attacked just now and almost capsized in the gutter, and a ghost who was about to complete his salvation was also rescued.

"However, there is still friendship between ghosts? Besides, could my previous judgment be wrong? The death of the three refugees was really caused by the three ghosts with a master-slave relationship?" Zhang Yan originally speculated firmly at this time It also became a little less certain.He is just a beginner in this way, and he doesn't know if those things from Longhushan can be used as iron laws in Huangtianyu.

The confusion in my heart was quickly sorted out by Zhang Yan.He suffered a loss this time, he suffered three or two claws in vain, and now he still doesn't feel well, and finally let the enemy run away.How about that?

"Hmph, can you run?"

Throwing out three evil chasing talismans, Zhang Yan will not make the same mistake as before.

The evil chasing talisman quickly turned into dots of fireflies, and then began to flutter like the wind.But the three evil chasing talismans did not divide into three strands, but flew in the same direction.

"You didn't escape separately?" Zhang Yan felt a little strange in his heart, but he continued to follow.First, he was angry, and second, after the previous fight, he already had enough understanding of Li Gui's methods, and at the same time, he also understood that he was too underestimated before, as a Taoist monk in the late stage of Qi Entraining Realm. restraint.

In addition, although the two ghosts who came from behind caught Zhang Yan by surprise, compared to the female ghost, the evil spirits in the latter two were obviously much weaker. Zhang Yan felt that he might not have come prepared now. There is no chance of winning.

Following the evil chasing talisman all the way, not only did the fireflies disperse all the time, but they didn't run far in the end, and they were only less than fifty feet away from where Zhang Yan was fighting before, and they were still in Luohua Lane.It's just that it should be in the middle of this deep alley.

"Huh? Tree?"

After making seven turns and eight turns, I finally arrived at an open space in an alley.It has a radius of more than ten feet, and in the middle is a willow tree with a thick waist.But the canopy is not high, and the branches and leaves are not luxuriant, and the growth is crooked and unsightly.There are even some strange human-head-sized tumor-like protrusions on the trunk.

"It turned out to be a ghost willow! It's no wonder it's not peaceful to have this thing. It's also hard for the living people here not to cut it down and keep it until now. It must be hundreds of years old, right?"

The willow tree is an extremely yin species, and it has the ability to gather yin energy naturally.There is a record in ancient books that if someone wants to harm someone, they will use willow trees to make coffins for his family members, and [-]% of them will eventually turn into corpses and infect the family's feng shui.It belongs to the evil deeds of lack of virtue.

The ghost willow refers to the kind of willow that has changed its shape due to the condensed yin energy, just like this one in front of you.The place where this kind of tree is located is full of Yin Qi, which naturally attracts evil things to gather.If you encounter it, you should burn it with fire, and then turn over the soil and expose it to the sun for seven to seven days to get rid of the accumulation of Yin Qi.

But at this time, the ghost willow was in front, and after chasing the evil talisman, it got into a well next to the tree.

The opening of the well is not small, it should be a shared well.But looking at the dry ground around it, I'm afraid it hasn't been used for a long time, and it may even be a dry well that has long dried up.

Without rushing to approach, Zhang Yan picked up a hand-sized broken brick from the ground, threw it into the well, and heard a cracking sound on the ground after a while.The well is not deep, and it is really a dry well as Zhang Yan expected.

So here comes the problem.Is Zhang Yan going down?Why don't you go down?

Zhang Yan didn't struggle, so naturally he wouldn't just jump down that dry well so recklessly.If there is some killer move hidden in it, wouldn't he go in and seek his own death?Moreover, as ghosts are spirit bodies, although they cannot escape underground at will, they can travel short distances through the rock and soil without any problem.So Zhang Yan may go straight to nothing.

It's better to make another fuss to draw out the three ghosts below.

How to quote?When Zhang Yan saw the ghost willow, he made a fuss about it.

Ghost willows absorb Yin Qi, and the effect is different from that of Mass Burial Mound, which is made up of dead people. It can be thicker and more solid.In addition to that well, I am afraid that the underground yin energy can form a group, and it has become an excellent hotbed for yin and evil things.In the long run, it is like living in a place full of aura, and there are too many benefits.

So what would happen if the tree was burned?

This tree is not big, and a few spiritual fire talismans will definitely burn very quickly, and it will burn down to only the roots in less than a cup of tea, and it will naturally die solidly.

It's like cutting off all the rice in your house. Do you think you are in a hurry?Will he jump out and find someone to fight for his life?

Of course, Zhang Yan had to make some preparations before that.Sprinkle a piece of spirit-repelling talisman and exorcism talisman around the dry well. It doesn't take much effort, and the effect is really outstanding. It directly stirs up the gloomy atmosphere in this place, and it obviously fades a bit.

Get ready, Zhang Yan sneered and ignited the ten spirit fire talismans pasted on the ghost willow. The spirit fire in the talisman exploded and attached to the ghost willow. It jumped up and quickly spread to the entire crown of the tree which was not very high.

Zhang Yan looked at the burning ghost willow with a smile.The yin qi accumulated on it was heavier than he thought, and it seemed that even the roots buried in the ground would be burned by the spiritual fire because of the yin qi.And the speed at which the spiritual fire burns like this is extremely fast.

Sure enough, as soon as the ghost willow burned, the ghost in the dry well couldn't sit still.Screaming, he rushed out of the well, bringing with him a much stronger killing intent than before.

but……

"One...two...three...four...five...how come there are two more?!" The smile on Zhang Yan's face lasted less than three breaths before he was confused by the number of ghosts rushing out Got to freeze.

Chapter 46 God's Descend

At first Zhang Yan thought there was only one ghost, but suddenly two other ghosts appeared, which caught Zhang Yan by surprise and nearly capsized in the gutter.Now they caught up, made arrangements, and then led the opponent out of the dry well. Everything seemed to be going well, but in the end there were two more.

Is this stabbing Li ghost's den? !

There is no mention in the classics of Longhu Mountain that ghosts live in groups!Or is this a special case on Huangtianyu's side?

But right now Zhang Yan couldn't think too much, he had to face the attack and bite of five furious ghosts.

There are not many ways for ghosts to extinguish fires, not to mention that what is burning now is not ordinary flames but spiritual fires. If you want to extinguish them, you must first draw away the yin energy, or Zhang Yan will take the initiative to terminate the means, otherwise it will be almost impossible. can not be destroyed.

It wasn't at 01:30 that the ghost whistling sound was stronger than before. The town spirit talismans on Zhang Yan's body showed signs of peeling off, which meant that the power on the talismans was being offset and erased.

Zhang Yan was very fortunate that he had arranged many talismans around here in advance, so that when he faced the five fierce ghosts, he would not be defeated as soon as he came up.But even so, it is inevitable to fall into the disadvantage.

The main shortcoming is that Zhang Yan's current "Five Elements Qi Shield" can't completely resist the attacks of ghost claws with soul-like attacks. Not deep scratches eroded the attached Yin Qi into his body.

Another big problem also emerged, that is, Zhang Yan seemed very clumsy when facing flexible enemies like many ghosts.

Whether it is dodging or maneuvering, Zhang Yan is currently following the basic movements similar to physical skills.This is another shortcoming that he can't effectively avoid the ghost's claw attack and can only use the "Five Elements Qi Shield" to resist.

Although this is not a strong confrontation Zhang Yan took the initiative to find, it is used to test how much he has gained from working behind closed doors in the past two years.But the fact is that although he didn't mean it, he actually found a lot of big loopholes in himself from this accident.

In fact, in addition to claw strikes, Li Gui's housekeeping skill is to create various illusions that confuse the audience, and induce various fears and other negative emotions deep in the heart.But because Zhang Yan is a Taoist monk, even though he has just started, the aura of grandeur in his body and the strength of his soul make it difficult for Li Gui's illusion methods to work on him.But as the yin qi invading Zhang Yan's body intensified, his condition became worse and worse, coupled with the illusion created by Gui Xiao and the five ghosts, Zhang Yan began to slowly raise his head.

The situation is already dangerous.Zhang Yan's most reasonable choice now is actually to retreat quickly.Relying on the Spirit Fire Talisman and the Qi Shield, as long as he leaves this Luohua Lane, and then goes to a place with strong yang and evil aura, such as the Xuanhua City Lecture Academy he passed by during the day, even if he just stays at the door, he can avoid it. A few ghosts chased after them.Waiting for dawn and everything will pass.

This is also the retreat that Zhang Yan thought of for himself at the beginning.

But now Zhang Yan is also getting angry.Several accidents happened, so he didn't want to run away in embarrassment.

What can I do if I am not reconciled?

Of course, there are still ways, but there is a price to pay.

Zhang Yan is very aware of his current situation. When the sound of car horns that he used to be familiar with began to appear in his ears, he knew that he was falling into a hallucination, and it was time to make a choice. He will no longer be alive.

So Zhang Yan gritted his teeth, and shot out [-]% of his spiritual energy at once, and ignited all the remaining eleven spiritual fire talismans on his body to form a short-lived spiritual fire barrier, leaving him a space to display it again.

escape?Zhang Yan is not reconciled, he has the means to suppress the bottom of the box.

"The universe borrows the law, and is as urgent as the law!"

"Heavenly Soldiers! God Descends!"

He took out a talisman with extremely complicated patterns, and while reciting the incantation, he held it between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and the surging spiritual energy ignited it.

At the moment when the talisman was burned out, an inexplicable force came across the sky, facing Zhang Yan under the hood, and penetrated directly from the Tianling Gai!

But the power was too great, Zhang Yan seemed to be able to bear only a small part of it, and most of the power that came down passed through the body and disappeared soon.

But even if it only contained a small part of the power, Zhang Yan's aura immediately changed drastically.

At this time, Zhang Yan's body was emitting a gleam of light from the inside out, and behind him was a phantom of golden light as high as Zhang Xu.

I saw that phantom in bright armor, holding a spear tightly in his hand, with a solemn and resolute face, the red tassel on his helmet was automatic without wind, and his eyes seemed to shoot out a shocking majesty.

"Buzz!"

The mahogany sword in Zhang Yan's hand also rang at this time, and then changed its shape in the blink of an eye, turning into a bright silver spear like the phantom.

"Today, use the power of your lord to quell the evil in front of you! Get up!"

The last word Zhang Yan yelled out violently, and his figure moved rapidly. Although it was still just an ordinary run, the speed was as fast as the gust of wind, and it was even difficult for the naked eye to catch his whereabouts.

The spear is like a dragon, accompanied by mighty power, like a meteor falling from the sky that day, there is no room for the five ghosts to resist at all, and even the space with a radius of several feet is locked, so that they have no chance to run.

"puff!"

The tip of the gun pierced the chest of the first ghost and locked it firmly on the gun.Then Pupu pierced four times in a row, and the remaining four ghosts followed suit one after another, struggling like candied haws to be pierced into a string on the spear.

At this time, as long as Zhang Yan controls the spear to vibrate, the surging force on the spear can instantly tear the five ghosts into pieces and disappear completely.

But if that happens, don't think about the merits, and the price spent this time will be a waste of work, and there is no doubt that it will be a huge loss.

So now Zhang Yan still has to continue with his original plan, instead of putting himself in an awkward position just to vent his anger.

Zhang Yan's face was solemn, and he just held the long spear flat, his eyes fell on the five ghosts who were restrained by the gun and were being roasted by the awe-inspiring aura of the gun.Then he opened his mouth and started the second ritual ceremony.

"The Big Dipper has seven yuan, and the spirit dominates the sky. The great sage of Tiangang is full of majesty and glory. Go up to the world and cut off the source of evil..."

This time, when Zhang Yan recited the divine mantra, he was much more majestic and charming than before, especially the silver-armored and golden-light warrior standing behind him seemed to come alive amidst the majesty of the divine mantra, and the glimmer of light on his body gradually became brighter. Brilliantly, the five struggling ghosts slowly slumped down under the light, and each of them let the spear pierce them with their hands tied. At the same time, they began to emit foul-smelling smoke...

Chapter 47 Price

God's descent technique, Zhang Yan's practice so far is the most powerful and the bottom-of-the-box trick that can best deal with various situations.Although it carries the word "shu", it is not a means of skill cultivation, but a means of Shinto.

"Please" come to a certain god in the visualization, and briefly borrow the power that descends from it to fight against the enemy.

The level depends on the cultivation base of the cultivator who performs this technique.The higher the cultivation level, the more powerful gods can be invited, and at the same time, more power can be received from the gods, and vice versa.

Zhang Yan only has the cultivation base of the late stage of Qi Entraining Realm, and only the lowest "magic soldiers" or "heavenly soldiers" can be mobilized.

But even the lowest "God" that can be invited by the God's Arrival Technique still belongs to the power gap between ants and elephants to Zhang Yan, and he can only receive a small part of the power if he invites it.

But the result is also very clear. Although Zhang Yan only received a small part of the power of the Heavenly Soldiers, it was enough for him to crush the five ghosts in all directions with the cooperation of Wanxiangzhu.

Afterwards, he then used the power obtained from the God's Arrival to push the "Bei Diou Da Shen Mantra", which was naturally several times the effect of Zhang Yan's previous experience when he faced the first ghost.

"The Big Dipper Curse" was followed by "The Supreme Daoist Explains the Wonderful Sutra of Resolving Injustice and Eviction of Sins", one strong and one slow, plus the continuous roasting of the five ghosts caused by the divine descending technique, and the final salvation became a matter of course .

In fact, superseding is not a matter of ghosts "will you or not", and there is no such thing as "persuading you to return to heaven and earth". It was only natural.Therefore, there are only "ghosts that cannot be saved", and there are no "ghosts that cannot be saved".

After that, Zhang Yan didn't wait to receive the merits from Huang Tianyu, turned around and jumped into the dry well while he was still using the spirit descending technique.There is not much space in the well, and there are no secret passages or underground river holes, and the diameter of the well is less than one foot.Not to mention that a few ghosts jumped out to add to Zhang Yan's harvest.

But Zhang Yan found a very special thing in the dry well after searching, or a special "mark".

It looks like a ball of flames, and some of them look like a vertical eye. The depiction is irregular, but it is very clear.Zhang Yan could feel the nicks and the residual evil aura when he touched it with his hands. It was definitely not formed naturally. It was speculated that it was the work of the five ghosts before.

But what does this symbol mean?

Zhang Yan didn't guess randomly, but just remembered this symbol in his mind, and then left the alley.

As soon as I walked out of the alley, I saw a water team pushing water trucks rushing into the alley to put out the fire.Zhang Yan got out of the way, but he knew in his heart that it was too late for these people to rush over. The ghost willow was burned by the spirit fire, and there was not much left, and it was impossible to come back to life.Moreover, spiritual fire will not splatter and burn like ordinary flames. Ordinary objects will not let them burn forever, so they will not cause fires.

Finding a nearby inn to stay, Zhang Yan didn't even have time to put the burden on his back, so his legs went limp and he sat on the ground.Not only was his face pale, but he was also sweating profusely.

Everything in the world pays attention to a balance, you get more, and others get less.

So is power.

The road to practice, no matter whether it is martial arts, martial arts, or Shinto, there is no shortcut to achieve it overnight, and it takes a long time to accumulate strength to gradually increase.

Even evil ways are not as fast as they appear on the surface. Their price is just hidden in the dark, or despicably passed on to others.Therefore, they often become the source of disaster and are excluded or even eliminated.

Zhang Yan is an upright orthodox monk, and he inherited the glorious heritage of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate. Walking the orthodox path, he can only take things straight and not seek them out.

So Zhang Yan is having a hard time now.Now it's time for him to pay the price for the divine descent technique.

What Zhang Yan felt now was "weakness" and "powerlessness" as well as "dizziness".It seems to be physical damage, but in fact it is far more than these uncomfortable feelings. These are just the incidental effects of Zhang Yan's paying the price.

Lifespan.This day is determined, and now it is also the price to be paid for performing the god descending spell.

Otherwise, do you think that after just a few days of discomfort, you can have the means to easily invite divine power?There will never be a pie in the sky.

The threshold of use is low, the effect is outstanding, but the cost is extremely high.This is the way of the Shinto "Seance of the Gods".

Zhang Yan's cultivation is limited now, he can't accurately perceive how much lifespan he has been wiped out by asking the heavenly soldiers to possess him just now, but he can still feel vaguely.

"It seems like more than two years but less than three years."

Zhang Yan stood up slowly, moved himself onto the bed with great effort, sat down cross-legged, and began to calculate today's gains and losses.

In the past, losing more than two years of life would definitely not be an exchange for Zhang Yan unless it was absolutely necessary.But now, the two years of life did not make him overly depressed.

First of all, Zhang Yan is only in his early twenties now, and he has no pressure to pay for his two-year lifespan.

Secondly, although a huge price has been paid this time, the harvest is also very good. I think the merits and virtues must be rich after saving five ghosts, and this means that Zhang Yan can step into the Qi-entraining state faster. A big realm.At that time, he will be able to open another major auxiliary way of Taoism: Dan Dao.

There are records in Longhu Mountain that many of the pills are mainly to increase the acquisition of spiritual energy, shorten the time of practice accumulation, and increase the longevity.And the two years of life lost now can be fully recovered with pills at that time.

As for the difficulty of the alchemy, Zhang Yan is not too worried, because he has the Wanxiangzhu in his hand, and when the time comes to change a better alchemy furnace as an aid, he will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort.As long as he doesn't pursue the ultimate of elixir, he thinks that the elixir that increases life by two or three years is nothing to worry about.

What's more, the increase in cultivation base is accompanied by the increase in lifespan. It is really hard to say whether Zhang Yan will gain or lose Zhang Yan once he enters and exits.

After the various discomforts in his body due to the decrease in lifespan gradually subsided, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, calmed down and began to run the "Returning Qi Method" to enter the state of practice. The merits obtained after the price.

No accident, just after Zhang Yan put the "Returning Qi Method" into operation, after linking Zhou Tian and the outside world, the golden splendor like before entered his body with the breath of spiritual energy, and followed Zhou Tian The sky finally merged into the cyclone in the lower dantian.
