What they were asked to do was actually very simple. The four of them entered the room. Master Lintian sat down at the table, took yellow paper and cinnabar and wrote down a few spells. He asked Xie Zhe to follow the same pattern, and then he made some more in the same way.
The more the better, so that they can be posted in every house. Jiaomo took the charms batch by batch and posted them on the doors of each house. Hanzhang was not idle and helped write some notices, knocking and typing them.
Exaggerated talisman to kill and eliminate
The power of evil threatens the townspeople that tearing off the talisman will lead to disaster, which makes the evil spirit come back and get worse. It doesn't matter whether they listen or not, he said it anyway. But even if it is only to this extent, it is enough. These stupid people
Like a piece of blank paper, whatever the wind means, it will rain. Now they are all hiding at home, unable to be led by this idiot. They should be able to calm down and think about everything that happened today.
These tedious tasks cost them a lot of time. The town said it was too big or too small, so Xie Zhe wrote faster than his companions could put on the charms, and finally went out to help. When they returned to the small courtyard, they found Lin Tian
The master has disappeared. Han Sheng told them not to panic, the master has not gone far.
. He sniffed the remaining breath in the air, and took the other two people to find the Heavenly Master. His breath was already very thin, not because he left early, but because the cultivators were pure-hearted and had few desires, so they could not leave many traces behind.
Breath. Presumably he can still follow the clues, which is what Master Lintian hopes.
They came to the open space where the family who had been victimized last night had been placed. This was the relatively central location of the place. Perhaps Master Lintian chose this place deliberately. The appearance of the open space had changed. Master Lintian was still holding the gun in his hand.
Strange sword, held in the other hand
The kitchen knives Han Zang had thrown into the corner last night, which he had somehow found, were piled together with the farmer's hatchets. With the two murderous weapons as the center, a simple formation was drawn on the ground. Xie Zhe could see that a cinnabar ink line was used.
Similar to common materials, but no more secrets can be seen.
They did not dare to act rashly and stood aside silently watching. Master Lintian did not mind and did not have any more conversations with them. His long hair had been let down, and the black and white were intertwined, like the flow of yin and yang. Combined with his solemn movements,
Carrying the majesty of Taoism, he stepped on Yu steps and stepped on steps, surrounding two blood-stained knives, and danced the sword gently in the formation.
At the beginning, the speed and amplitude of his sword dance were very slow, as gentle as blowing away the wind or water, and as if he was using the sword as a pen to draw mysterious incantations in the air. His movements were constantly changing, and I don’t know when.
It started to become violent and violent. Every time I turned around and fought back, it was decisive and sharp, as if I was suppressing an invisible evil.
Xie Zhe and the others couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, their hearts pounding with inexplicable power, as if they were nervous about some invisible confrontation. Finally, Master Lintian paused, turned his sword sharply, and pointed directly at the two murderous weapons in the formation.
As soon as the ground hit the ground, the two metal objects suddenly spontaneously ignited out of thin air, bursting into red flames.
In this flame, the kitchen knives and hatchets burned into a strange blue. They were like the ice when spring came, melting slowly but irresistibly, turning into blue flames in the fire bit by bit. Lintian Master
Ding Ding looked at it for a while, held a sword flower in his arms, put the sword away, and turned around and said:
"This fire can burn on its own. Even if it rains, it will not go out. As long as every household throws in the murderous weapons and burns them all, the town will be safe."
"Then we still have to knock on the door one by one and ask them to hand over something?" Han Chang muttered.
"Ah, I personally don't want to waste such time and energy." Master Lintian smiled, "Write a notice and post it nearby. They know that there is a way to get rid of evil spirits, even if they just lose some already ominous tools,
You should be able to do it."
The implication is that if they don't do it, they might as well fend for themselves. But is Master Lintian really so hard-hearted? Probably not. It's probably because he has already penetrated people's hearts and understands human nature that he dared to make such a decision.
Han Zhang did as he was told and ran into the house to look for paper and pen. Xie Zhe looked at the formations on the ground and rubbed his nose:
"Although I have studied Taoism for many years... But this formation, let alone knowing how to perform it, after watching you demonstrate it once, I still have a lot of things that I don't understand. These are the most basic materials. If given to
I, there must be no way. It’s not that I haven’t thought of some more powerful things, but each one is a waste of materials, and you solved everything so easily.”
After that, he was silent for a while, but it was clear that he still had something to say. Master Lintian did not rush him, but waited quietly for him to finish.
"... Come to think of it, this is the gap between you and me, right? I guess I'm still far behind, but I don't know if it's too far away... This is something that is really hard to make up for in a while."
Master Lintian laughed softly a few times and said sincerely:
"You, don't belittle yourself. I have accumulated many years of experience before I have the means I have today. If you think about it carefully, I have seen the spring and autumn come and go in the world hundreds of times. If you want to compare with me in terms of knowledge, that is indeed
Don’t overestimate your abilities. But walking around the world, practicing immortal magic, exorcising disasters and eradicating evil, everything should not be determined by age, but by you.
Do you have such a heart? All good and evil are determined by people's original intentions. By now, I have become very clear that although you did not hold back and spoke harshly to them, it was because you had good intentions in your heart. You have very good qualifications.
.As the saying goes, there is no end to learning. There are many things that I still don’t understand in this world, and young people should not be deterred.”
His words made Xie Zhe feel a lot relieved and even a little moved. As expected of the Lintian Master... The other two people also felt that they had benefited a lot from these words. Although like those formation materials that can be seen everywhere, this should have
Everyone knows this, coming from someone with as much experience as him
It's different. Some sentences, uttered by children learning to talk, are just a joke. But when narrated by elders who have personally experienced the vicissitudes of hundreds of years, they have more weight. This means that even after a long time,
Time has washed and polished it, but the truth still stands and shines brightly.
"Now that this matter is over, let's find a place to talk about what you wanted to say to me before."
Whether it was arguing with the townspeople, walking around the streets to post spells and notices, or Lintian Master's rituals to exorcise evil spirits, they all consumed too much time. After a busy meal, it was actually time for the sun to set. They
Scribbled portions of dry food
, packed his bags, and collected the body for the deceased. After Master Lintian burned the kitchen knife, the little girl in the room also returned to calm. Han Sheng stretched out his head and took a look. It was difficult to distinguish the skinny child sleeping peacefully on the bed from last night.
Little maniacs linked together.
Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo walked to his side and looked at the sleeping figure of their child. Without any relatives, what will happen to her after such a change? Can she survive and grow normally? They have no answer. Stay
Such a child, facing such a cruel reality, has to face such unreasonable villagers...
"Will they still hurt her?" Jiao Mo was a little worried, "Should we take her with us, at least to a place where no one knows her."
"The world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. Such a helpless little girl will probably be humiliated. When the time comes, it will be the consequences of your decision, but you won't be able to witness it with your own eyes." Master Lintian said to her,
"Staying here is the best choice. After the villagers confirmed that she was completely back to normal, they could settle down and do as we said. However, this will take time. But it doesn't matter, she also needs to face reality.
time."
They have done enough and can only do so much.
"Let's go."
Finally, Xie Zhe spoke up to break the heavy silence. They turned around and left the dark and dilapidated hut. The sky was full of glow outside the house, and Master Lintian was at the door of the courtyard, staring at the dancing firelight in the distance. When he saw them coming out, he also understood
He straightened his clothes and took steps.
The four people walked together on the road out of the town. Regardless of whether there was anyone in the town who was willing to provide them with accommodation, even they themselves felt a slight resistance and disgust towards these people, and did not want to have any more contact with them. What's more,
Although the matter they were going to talk to Master Lintian was not a top secret that should never be known to anyone, it was not suitable to be casually discussed with ears on the wall.
They walked all the way without anyone speaking. Rather than saying it was an awkward silence, it was more like a wordless tacit understanding and shared contemplation about what they had seen and experienced together today, and what they had seen before.
more suffering or doubts.
As the sun sets in the west, the surrounding houses gradually become lower and sparse, and the shadows of trees appear in the field of vision. The stone slabs under their feet gradually turn into a solid dirt road, and then border on the grass. When the grass at their feet sweeps up to their ankles, everything around them
People have come to the wilderness.
They found a piece of relatively flat ground, placed their luggage and bedding, and everyone sat loosely together. There were sparsely grown thin trees all around, which was a bit of a barrier to wind and rain, but it was therefore unlikely to shelter a large beast.
seams from forest trees
Looking through the gap, one could see the town not far away, with scattered lights on in the gradually darkening sky. The quiet scene was very different from the noisy farce during the day, as if the disaster had really been driven away, and thus made this place
The town regained its tranquility.
In the warm candlelight, a faint blue light occasionally flickered. I think the townspeople saw the notice, and they were finding the murder weapons in twos and threes, throwing them into the flames left by Master Lintian, and burning these ominous remnants.
He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and asked as calmly as possible:
"Master Lintian, you said before that the disaster that happened here was due to the evil angel. Feng... killed the evil angel. Is that child nearby? What can we do and what should we be careful about?"
"To be precise, he has left this place. We will not encounter him head-on here." Master Lintian explained, "It's just a pity that he has been here for a long time, and the impact he left behind is particularly profound.
.”
"This is the most terrifying thing about evil angels." He added with a sigh, "If the ten evils are allowed to develop and grow in the world, not only will they themselves do evil, but they will also contaminate others with the evil thoughts they represent. Even, they will
No matter how you wish, you cannot control such an influence. If things go on like this, everyone will become a scourge for the world, and the world will naturally no longer be peaceful."
Han Zhang and Xie Zhe both nodded silently. When Lord Maoyue described the dangers of the Ten Evils to them, they thought they had taken it seriously enough and did not underestimate these potential disasters. However, now that they have experienced it personally, they are even more convinced.
deeply understood
The disaster described by Lord Uoyue, in pale words, has now turned into a bloody memory of reality, piercing their hearts fiercely. While they feel trembling and horrified by it, chilling and heartbroken, their desire to curb the evil is also
become more and more intense.
"So, are you here to help deal with the evil messenger?" Xie Zhe asked, "Mu Yuejun was originally in charge of this matter, but now he is ill..."
"I do know about this matter. However, I am not focused on the ten evil things." Lintian Master said frankly, "The reason why I came here is actually to track down the living corpses."
Hanshang thought for a moment:
"I have almost never heard of news about living corpses recently. Could this be due to your intervention? Is it because of what you did that they have disappeared recently?"
