Quickly wear, the host has evil intentions

Chapter 109 The Taoist Who Caught the Fox Demon 22

After Duan Ci looked carefully for a while, Lu Ming also noticed his gaze.

He scratched his head, feeling somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by Duan Ci. He asked:

"Master Gu, is there something wrong with me?"

"Yes, did you pick up anything just now?"

Duan Ci nodded, looking serious.

Lou Xiao heard their conversation and looked at Lu Ming with bright eyes.

"No, no? What's wrong?"

Lu Ming thought for a while before answering. Looking at the expression on Duan Ci's face, he knew that the matter was not simple and felt a little nervous.

"Someone wants you to avoid disaster."

Lou Xiao walked up to him, looked at him again and again, then touched his chin and said.

"What! Prevent disaster!"

Lu Ming had heard of warding off disasters, but didn't they use paper or straw figures as substitutes?

How come when it comes to him, he is used as a container.

In folk taboos, the core of the death-substitution method is to create a substitute that can represent the person involved, which is usually a human figure made of paper or straw. According to tradition, the substitute will be given a certain "power" by the wizard through a specific ritual, so that it can bear the pain or disaster of the person involved.

The master will hold a series of rituals, including but not limited to chanting, drawing talismans and praying, in order to transfer the misfortune of the person concerned to the substitute. In some traditions, such rituals may also include burning the substitute, symbolizing that all bad luck and misfortune will be burned along with it.

"This does seem a little strange, but it has happened before. Maybe the ghost sister is too powerful. She doesn't recognize those substitutes, so she uses you as a substitute doll."

Lou Xiao explained.

"Is there any way to solve this?"

Yang Yechen was a little worried when he heard her say that. Lu Ming was a little scared, he was still so young and didn't want to die so early.

"Yes! But first you have to find the things of the person who wants you to die in his place."

Lou Xiao spoke.

"But I didn't pick up anything, did I?"

Lu Ming grabbed his head, feeling a little flustered. Why was he so unlucky?

"At this moment, the only people we need to find to die with us are the two people outside. Think about whether you have had any contact with them."

Duan Ci looked at him with a gentle voice, which calmed Lu Ming's restless heart a little.

He thought about what had just happened and slapped his head.

“There was indeed contact.”

When the rat touched him, he immediately reached for his sleeve and soon found something inside it.

It was a bunch of hair, wrapped in yellow talisman paper and tied with a red rope.

"What to do now?"

He asked while pinching the small bunch of hair with his fingertips, his eyes fell on Duan Ci and Lou Xiao.

Duan Ci took the tuft of hair, burned it with cinnabar and talisman paper, and chanted some magic spell.

Looking at the glowing hair, Lu Ming asked with some fear:

"Is this okay?"

"Ah."

Duan Ci kept his eyes on the flame and then gave a warning.

"Be careful with that thin man."

This curse transfer technique is not simple, which may be the reason why he is still alive even though he was involved in Xie Yian's affairs.

"Ok."

Lou Xiao also noticed this.

Both Yang Yechen and Lu Ming nodded.

The hair was burned, and the mouse in the formation seemed to feel something, and felt his body turned cold, and a piercing chill invaded his whole body. It was as if he was being stared at by something again.

He lowered his head, his eyes covered by his hair, and his sight fell on the hiding place of several people. He knew that someone had broken the spell of substitution.

Fortunately, he was not the one who cast the curse and he was just the beneficiary, otherwise he would definitely be retaliated against.

After it was completely dark, several people waited patiently. At midnight, Yang Yechen and others couldn't help but become nervous. This time is the moment when yin and yang alternate, the yang energy is the weakest and the yin energy is the strongest, which is suitable for ghost activities and is the peak time of ghost activities.

Xie Yian is likely to show up at this time.

Lou Xiao was also a little nervous and stared at Zhu Sancai and the others.

Duan Ci didn't react at all, he just held the little fox and took a nap with his eyes closed. Yan Ling was the same, his tail was wrapped around Duan Ci's waist, he closed his eyes and slept leisurely.

On the back mountain of Muhe Village, Xie Yian sat on a grave. The wind blew up her red skirt, her black hair caressed her pale cheeks, her lips were rosy and her face was beautiful.

She looked at the thing blocking the road ahead with cold eyes and a strong murderous aura around her.

An old man with gray hair, wearing a gray Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, stroked his beard and looked at Xie Yian like a master.

People who don’t know the situation would think he is some mysterious master.

But Xie Yian could see the ghostly aura lingering around him and knew that this man was not an upright Taoist priest, but a member of the Yin Ghost Dao who was disliked by everyone. Even ghosts disliked people like them.

They use all kinds of evil spirits and negative energies as nutrients for their cultivation, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast, but some people will do anything to obtain these evil spirits.

Massacres of people, raising corpses, and refining ghosts are common. Obviously, she was targeted by the old ghost Taoist this time, which was really unlucky.

She was just two people away from getting her revenge, but something like this happened.

The nails on her fingers grew longer, and her cold eyes stared at the ghost Taoist opposite her.

Yang Yechen and his companions waited for a long time but didn't see any ghost coming. They were a little discouraged. They didn't know whether it would come or not.

Lou Xiao was also looking around, with a worried look on her face. Did something happen?

Yinshi (3 a.m.) is the critical point when yin and yang alternate. At this time, yang energy is the weakest, yin energy is the strongest, and the gates of hell are wide open.

Duan Ci opened his eyes and looked towards the place on the back mountain that was shrouded in yin energy.

The sky seemed to have darkened by several degrees. Even though the moon was hanging brightly in the night, the village was as dark as if it was not illuminated by the moonlight.

In the half-opened house of the dilapidated ancient village, a black coffin was parked. Ancient and complex patterns formed a formation on the ground.

Zhu Sancai and Haozi were both a little sleepy because they had been waiting for too long.

A gust of wind blew by, making both of them feel cold and waking up immediately from their sleepiness.

Lou Xiao also sensed something was wrong. She looked at the time. It was Yinshi, the time when the gates of hell opened wide. Why did she choose this time?

She had a premonition that there would be many variables in this operation.

Duan Ci came to her side, and the two of them were ready to take action after Xie Yian appeared.

A ghostly aura swept past violently, heading straight towards Zhu Sancai and the other man, and neither of them had time to react.

Zhu Sancai was picked up, and invisible energy floated out of his body and entered into the group of ghost energy.

Zhu Sancai seemed to be strangled by the neck. He put his hands on his neck to try to pry something away, and his legs kept kicking around.

His mouth was wide open, his eyeballs bulged out, his face was grim, and the speed at which the ghost sucked his energy increased.

Lou Xiao stared at the side and frowned.

"She looks injured!"

"Aren't you going to take action yet?"

Yang Yechen looked at Zhu Sancai who was about to be sucked dry and spoke with a serious expression.
