Chapter 283: Fighting! Ear retribution【Please subscribe with a monthly ticket】
"The little god has met all the immortal masters!"
At the Earth Temple, the Earth God of Zhaojiazhuang paid homage to Chu Chen and others and personally presented the letter.
Chu Chen received the letter and opened it to read.
[If you don’t drink a toast, you’ll have to drink a fine wine. I’ll spare you for the time being. Let’s settle the accounts slowly in the future. Let’s see how long the Ghosts and Gods Department can send people to protect your Zhao family!]
"What a rampant evil cultivator!"
The five people all changed their faces.
What they least wanted to see happened.
I'm not afraid of the demon alliance monks coming to confront me head-on, but I'm afraid they'll hide in the dark and cause trouble.
Why did the mysterious Taoist fail to deceive the head of the Zhao family, so he turned around to protect his own family and threatened the Zhao family with a demon alliance?
In fact, the "Demon Alliance" has a great reputation and a bad reputation. Ordinary people and small families do not want to cause trouble and dare not offend this group of unscrupulous demons.
As far as Chu Chen knows, many small families secretly pay "filial piety" to the devil to ensure their safety.
Every year, the County Department of Ghosts and Gods takes action to crack down on such evil cultivators of the Demon Alliance who accept "filial piety", and the results are remarkable.
The County Ghosts and Gods Department indeed arrested and killed many demonic monks.
Unfortunately, there is no cure.
After killing one crop, another crop appeared, and it was impossible to kill them all.
It is precisely because of this that when facing evil cultivators, small families and small clans will usually spend money to eliminate disasters and make things peaceful.
Now, this evil cultivator is repeating his old tricks to intimidate the Zhao family.
Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, and Chu Chen were quite annoyed by this.
The other party knew clearly that their Ghosts and Gods Department had sent people to Zhaojiazhuang, and yet they dared to use lonely souls to send letters to threaten them. This was undoubtedly a declaration of war against them.
Fighting among monks is not limited to face-to-face fighting.
Most of the time, they are fighting in the air, comparing each other's magical powers.
"Lord God, where is that wild ghost? Bring him here."
Chu Chen ordered.
"yes!"
The land god of Zhaojiazhuang did not doubt his presence and quickly brought the wild ghost over.
This fight "falls" on the farewell kid.
Wild ghosts are controlled by people unknowingly, and it is impossible to find out if they are interrogated.
Chu Chen had no hope in interrogating the wild ghost. No matter how stupid the other party was, they would not easily sell such a flaw to them.
Eighty-nine times out of ten, the wild ghost has no idea at all and is just a messenger delivering a message.
The target of the fight is not the wild ghost. The place where the wild ghost is detained is the real venue for the fight.
The evil cultivators are vigilant about "anti-tracking" and are on guard against wild ghosts. They cannot attack the wild ghosts themselves, but can only attack from the place where the wild ghosts are "detained".
"Everyone, who knows how to repay the Dharma?"
Chu Chen unknowingly became the communicator among the five people, and now he also assumed the responsibility of "talker".
The so-called ear report refers to the secret reporting of information, that is, the eyes and ears, spying.
Practicing the method of ear retribution, pinching the secrets and reciting the mantra, there will be retributions from ghosts and gods in the ears, and all kinds of news will enter the ears one by one.
There are two types of ear retribution: divine retribution and ghost retribution.
Divine retribution can know everything that happens in heaven and earth, and it can also predict the future.
The "Divine Retribution" ear retribution method is a top-level magical method that involves heavenly secrets and is extremely difficult to practice.
Monks in the world of cultivating immortals practice the "divine retribution" method of ear retribution, but often they can't do anything well, they can't steal heavenly secrets, and they're not accurate at all.
In fact, the little ghost boy was cultivated by the Lingshan sect of his sect, using the "Fairy Boy's Ear Retribution Technique" as the fundamental secret method, and adding various techniques. Therefore, the little ghost boy was born with the magical power to predict bad luck.
The little ghost can only predict "bad luck" but cannot predict good luck. This is already extremely remarkable, because the little ghost's magical power of omens is vaguely related to heaven's secrets.
Another type of ear retribution is ghost retribution.
It is said to be a ghost report, but in fact it is a "spiritual" ear report method.
Generally speaking, it is to communicate with something through secret methods and then obtain information.
For example, the "Five-Connected God Ear Reporting Method" can communicate with a "Five-Connected God" and get the desired news from the mouths of lonely souls and spirits in the mountains.
Another example is the "earth report method". As the name suggests, this land ear report method is to call out a land to ask for news.
There are so many methods of hearing retribution like this that they are countless.
In fact, the ear retribution method practiced by most monks is the latter.
When Chu Chen was serving as the first-class deputy squad leader and responsible for catching demons, he discovered that many of his colleagues were good at various "early reporting methods".
Their method of collecting intelligence on demons is to go deep into the mountains, use the "ear report method" everywhere, and inquire about information everywhere.
This method sounds good, but unfortunately it is not so ideal in practice.
Longling Mountain is extremely vast, and the ear report method can only explore a small area at a time. You need to ask around. Whether you can find the "demon" ultimately depends on luck.
Chu Chen and Wang Ping only know how to "repay the law with earth's ears". Like "Sun Dasheng", they always call out "Old earth's ear, come out!" when something happens.
If the landlady didn't know this, they would be blind.
So, Chu Chen turned his attention to the other three people.
"Amitabha~" Young monk Yuantong was quite ashamed: "This young monk doesn't know how to repay the Dharma with his ears."
Qian Sangua grinned:
"I know the [Five-penetrated Divine Ear Retribution Technique]. Once the secret method is revealed, the lonely ghosts within a five-mile radius will become my eyes and ears. Everything they have seen within seven days will be heard by me. The spirits in the mountains are a bit difficult to deal with. I must
You have to use favors to please in order to get the news."
Chu Chen nodded: "Yes, fellow Daoist Sangua, could you please go to the area where the wild ghosts are detained and ask around to see if you can find any clues."
Qian Sangua nodded: "Okay!"
Chu Chen's eyes fell on Xuan Lingzi again.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi, what about you?"
Xuan Lingzi was quite cold and said:
"I know how to repay grass and fungus. The grass and trees within a mile can turn into my eyes and ears, and I can know what happened in front of a stick of incense!"
When Chu Chen heard this, he was overjoyed. He was indeed the direct descendant of a top hidden sect, and he actually had such mysterious magical powers.
At first glance, Xuan Lingzi's [Grass Fungus Ear Retribution Technique] appears to have far less scope than the Qian San Gua's [Wutong Shen Ear Retribution Technique], and is not as powerful as it.
The fact is exactly the opposite, [Herb Fungus Retribution Method] is much more mysterious and powerful.
"Wutongshen" is an intelligent creature and is easier to communicate with.
It is more difficult to communicate with plants and trees, and only high-level mystical methods can achieve this step.
In addition, when normal monks are doing things, for the sake of privacy, they will keep the ghosts and spirits around them to prevent interested people from using various ear reports to steal his whereabouts.
When Taoist Master Xu Ping accepted Chu Chen as his disciple and taught the secret method in the wild, he immediately used the secret method to isolate the "land god" and ordered his Yin soldiers to expel the surrounding ghosts and spirits.
Normal monks are so careful to protect privacy and confidentiality, let alone evil cultivators who are intent on doing bad things.
Chu Chen didn’t have high expectations for Qian Sangua’s [Five-Tong Divine Ear Retribution Method].
There are many such "early reporting methods" in various schools and sects.
The effect is there, and it’s fine for daily use.
If it were used to search for wary demonic monks, it would be a bit difficult.
However, Chu Chen was full of expectations for Xuan Lingzi's [Grass Fungus Retribution].
Ordinary monks generally do not deliberately pay attention to the surrounding "plants and trees" and are more likely to leave clues.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi, fellow Taoist Sangua, you two go to inquire about the news. The three of us will sit and guard Zhaojiazhuang."
