Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 63: Summoning Spirits and Controlling Ghosts
The spacious but gloomy courtyard was filled with prayer flags.
In the middle is an altar covered with yellow cloth.
In front of the altar, a copper basin was placed quietly.
Next to them, in addition to Chen Yuntian, Chen Yulou, Qin Zhen, Ma Shirong, Hua Maguai, Kunlun and others, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, a feather crown on his head, and three long beards on his chin, who looked quite elegant.
He stood behind Chen Yuntian and obviously had a very high status.
It was the second son of Xiangling Longtang.
Confucian scholar with swordsmanship, Yang Sihai.
Apart from the slightly cool night breeze, no one spoke.
Sudden.
The old man with a black headband sitting cross-legged on the cushion behind the altar opened his eyes.
Two faint green lights flashed by, captivating the heart.
He stood up slowly, wearing a black Taoist robe that looked extremely large on his hemp-like body.
This person is the eighth brother of Longtang, "Ghost Old Man".
Look at the sky.
"The time has come."
"Please kill the blood."
The voice was hoarse and gloomy, revealing a heart-wrenching chill.
Chen Yulou gave a look, Kunlun nodded, strode over, and soon came over with two black dogs in his hands.
He chopped off the dog's head with a knife and poured the blood into a copper basin.
The strong smell of blood filled the entire house.
After nodding with satisfaction, Gui Lao took a step forward, picked up the peach wood sword, and with a light flick, several yellow papers were instantly stuck on.
He picked up the soul-catching bell with his left hand and shook it. The crisp sound of the bell was particularly clear in the dark night.
Every time the bell rang, it exuded a strange power.
He danced with the sword in his right hand and rang the bell in his right hand, muttering something. At the beginning, he was just mumbling, but in the end, he suddenly roared.
"The gates of heaven and earth are open, the boy from a thousand miles away is sending souls here, obeying the orders of the Supreme Lord Laozi."
Boom.
He stamped his foot suddenly.
The peach wood sword shook, and several yellow papers with the birth dates of Bai Wushuang, Chen Laogou, and Xie Dahai written on them flew into the blood basin like lightning, accompanied by a faint green light.
The two sides touched.
The blood in the blood basin suddenly turned into a bottomless black.
Several yellow forms also disappeared.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, there was no movement for a long while.
"Old Eight, what's going on?"
Chen Yuntian frowned.
He had seen necromancy several times, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation.
"Failed."
The old ghost shook his head.
"How could we fail? We have always done this before and we didn't lose anything." Qin Zhen asked puzzled.
"My technique of summoning spirits and controlling ghosts has never been wrong. There are only two reasons why ghosts don't come. One is that their birth date is wrong; the other is that their souls have not reached the underworld at all."
Everyone frowned , they were all smart people.
I have summoned the souls of three people in a row, it is impossible that their birth dates are all wrong.
"That man also took away their souls?!" Chen Yulou said in a serious tone.
"It's obvious that the other party has long been on guard against our use of the necromancy method." Ghost Old Man affirmed.
"It seems that this person knows me very well." Chen Yuntian said.
Everyone looked solemn.
A powerful enemy is not scary.
What's scary is a powerful enemy who knows you very well and is hiding in the dark.
"Second brother, third brother, and eighth brother, you should live in the villa for the time being." Chen Yuntian said.
The three of them nodded. They didn't want to joke with their lives in such an emergency.
"Send a message to the captain of the Nineteenth Helmsman, and have them step up their alert."
"yes."
Hua Maguai nodded.
"Who is it?"
Chen Yuntian looked thoughtful.
He offended many people in his life, but most of them were killed by him long ago.
For the time being , I have no clue.
"Dad, Hall Master Bai is dead, and the Leopard Hall cannot be leaderless. Why don't you let me go? I promise that in just three days, the Leopard Hall can recover." Chen Yulou said.
"The Blood Hall has just been established, and this is when we need you."
Chen Yuntian thought about it and shook his head.
"Dad, the Blood Hall is on the right track, and I don't need to keep an eye on it all the time. On the contrary, the Leopard Hall lost two hall masters, Bai Wushuang and Xie Dahai, in succession. Now the people are in a panic, and they need a strong person to suppress it. As the young leader of Xiling, I am the most suitable person."
Chen Yulou didn't want to miss this opportunity to strengthen his own strength.
Although he was young, he was ambitious and determined to develop Xiangling.
"I have let your uncle take charge of Leopard Hall temporarily. But if you can produce convincing results in your trip to Pingshan, I will hand over Leopard Hall to you."
Although the boss of Xiangling is surnamed Chen, he also has to consider other people's thoughts.
More importantly, Chen Yuntian felt that he was too young and lacked experience, so he planned to let him take charge of the Blood Hall first to gain experience. After two or three years, when he was more mature, he could take charge of the Leopard Hall.
This is the safe way.
He patted his son on the shoulder, without giving him a chance to speak, and left with his men.
The courtyard, which had been somewhat noisy, returned to calm in the blink of an eye.
In the darkness, only Chen Yulou, with a disappointed face, and Kunlun, who was standing silently behind him, were left.
Make a secret decision.
"Dad, just wait and see. I will definitely win this time at Pingshan."
…
"Brother, why don't you let Yulou take charge of the Leopard Hall? You know me, I'm really not fit to be a hall master." Yang Sihai said.
Chen Yuntian shook his head.
"No. He is too impetuous. Besides, Bai Wushuang and Xie Dahai have just died, and everyone knows that there is a conflict between them. If he takes the position at this moment, it will make people have bad associations, which is not conducive to the unity within the gang."
"Brother, you're worrying too much. Now that Yulou is in power, anyone who dares to gossip will be killed." Yang Sihai said with a smile.
Chen Yuntian shook his head.
"Killing is always the last resort to solve a problem. Don't use it lightly."
Yang Sihai smiled faintly and said nothing more.
"By the way, has the Sixth Madam of the Bai Family been brought back?"
"It has been recovered."
Qin Zhendao.
Chen Yuntian stopped.
"What clues can you get?"
Qin Zhen shook his head.
"Old Eight used a spell to fascinate them, but they really don't know anything."
Chen Yuntian showed disappointment on his face.
"It seems that we can only check it bit by bit."
"Don't worry, big brother. I will keep a close eye on this matter."
Patted him on the shoulder.
" Be careful."
"Um."
…
When the outside of Xiangling is relaxed and the inside is tight, secretly on guard and carefully investigating the enemy.
Xu Rui wisely chose to stay within the law.
Apart from practicing martial arts every day, he would talk about love with Miss Hong.
After three months, their relationship heated up rapidly, and they had basically completed third base, and occasionally even reached fourth base, but the price was somewhat tragic.
The soft flesh around the waist often needs to be treated with a "vice".
During these three months, his cultivation continued to improve.
In a closed room.
A wave of heat rolled in.
Xu Rui, with his five hearts facing the sky, had his eyes closed and a golden-red glow bloomed on his face.
At the same time, in the sea of consciousness, a somewhat illusory three-legged golden crow tumbled up and down, emitting dazzling light.
