"The house is talking?"
Sha LiFei was holding the incense burner and said with a look of disbelief on his face, "Why can Zhaizi speak? Did the Daoist Master hear wrongly?"
At this moment, Lu San has controlled a group of rats to patrol the entire county. Only this place found something fishy, so they all gathered here.
"This is not unusual."
Another Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect disciple shook his head and said, "If the artifact is attached to Yin Soul, it will become refined over time."
"The same is true for old houses, dilapidated temples, and ancient tombs. If someone dies inside, over time they will use the building as their body and turn into evil spirits. Dealing with this kind of house is the most troublesome."
As he said that, he looked around and said, "The feng shui of this place is average and the popularity is strong. The old locust tree in the courtyard is also very suspicious. It is probably an arrangement made a long time ago."
Li Yan asked quickly, "What did you hear, fellow Daoist?"
The man moved his ears again and said with an ugly face, "It's very chaotic. There are many people crying and shouting, including men, women, old and young, but you can't hear clearly what they are crying for."
"Many people?"
Li Yan thought thoughtfully, "Is there a way to crack it?"
"This..."
The Daoist looked a little embarrassed, "Don't be surprised, layman Li, my senior brother mainly studies the Dharma altar and is really not good at this Feng Shui Arts."
The other two disciples of the Bamboo Mountain Sect also nodded and said, "When encountering this kind of situation, our teaching usually has a Feng Shui master find out the key, and then use methods to seal the earth's energy and destroy the temple to collect evil spirits. Otherwise, the poison will spread."
"Generally speaking, the 'altar' used for performing rituals is mainly 'Thirty Meeting True Altar', and the 'Jing' used for practicing and refining is mainly 'Sixty Connecting True Sanctuary'."
"All Daoist arrangements in the world are inseparable from this convention, even those corpse refining places are the same."
"The arrangement here must be some kind of 'appeasement'. We must first find out the key points and distinguish which one it is, so that we can implement targeted restraints."
"That's it."
Li Yan turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Priest, can you tell the difference?"
Wang Dao Xuan is good at Feng Shui Arts, and Western Xuan Lineage is better at warding off disasters and praying for blessings, but it is not clear whether Li Yan can break this formation.
Wang Dao Xuan looked at the old house and said thoughtfully, "You can give it a try and see if you can find the key."
After that, he took out the compass from his arms and walked around the old house first, marking various places. Then he went to a nearby high place and looked at the layout of the surrounding streets and rooms.
Finally, I took a large piece of paper to write and draw, and settled on the Nine Eight Diagrams Palaces. The various lines were winding and winding, which made people dazzled.
Li Yan glanced at it and didn't think about it again.
All kinds of Dharma in the world become more and more profound as time goes by. Human life is limited and it is impossible to master everything.
Especially Feng Shui is an all-encompassing thing.
Because he was practicing Escape Technique, he had to ponder Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique, which had drained his brain. Regarding Feng Shui, it would be good if he could understand the basic knowledge.
Wang Dao Xuan's drawings become more and more messy as they are drawn.
His brows also wrinkled more and more tightly.
Everyone was not in a hurry after seeing it.
This house seems to be very old. It was laid out a long time ago. It is mysterious that it has been able to stand in Dangyang City for so many years without being discovered.
What's even more strange is that there is no abnormal aura leaked.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Lu San spell, they really wouldn't be able to find it.
Of course, Li Yan was not idle either. He told Officer Yang and asked him to go to the county government office and find those old fish scale albums.
The so-called fish scale album is the land register.
It draws houses, mountains, ponds, and fields in order and connected, indicating the corresponding names. It is named because the fields are shaped like fish scales.
It originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and is still in use today.
Great Xuan Dynasty There is an order that any mansion built in the city must be reported to the Yamen. No matter how many times it is sold, the fish scale album will have the information of the buyer and seller, and even a guarantor.
Perhaps, we can find some clues from it.
Officer Yang did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took people back to the county government office, and asked the clerk to dig out the fish scale album from the special storage cabinet.
After hurriedly fetching it, Officer Yang looked a little embarrassed, "Young Hero Li, there is something wrong with the fish scale album."
"The information on this house is too old and is not included in the new fish scale atlas. There have been several heavy rains and leaks, plus insect infestations and rat bites. I'm afraid nothing can be found."
It was not yet dawn, Li Yan looked at it by the light of the torch, and immediately shook his head slightly.
This fish scale album is a pile of dust. Not only are there many holes and dust due to insect infestation, but it has also been soaked in water, with many pages stuck together.
He carefully opened the stuck album, and sure enough, the writing on it was a little blurry and could only be read intermittently.
"In the second year of Kai X, I signed a contract with XX, and thanks to the imperial court XX, I acquired the old house. It is located at Dangyang City X, XXX to show my honor..."
Li Yan frowned and handed it to Centurion Zheng next to him.
Centurion Zheng also looked at it carefully and said thoughtfully, "This should be the second year of Kaiyuan, Great Xuan Dynasty the year after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"As far as I know, the war had just ended at that time, and all the houses in various places were empty. The imperial court was generously awarding people with land and real estate to those who had made contributions to the country."
"Families with the surname Yu need to be rewarded by the court... There should be clues in the county annals."
Officer Yang took the <Dangyang County Zhi> without saying a word.
Sure enough, a clue was found.
The name recorded above is Yu Shiqing.
"It turns out to be this person!"
Centurion Zheng suddenly realized and said with a solemn expression, "This man has some reputation. He was originally an old minister of the Da Xing Dynasty and did not want to be an official. As a sign of kindness, the court did not liquidate them and gave them land for their retirement."
"But this man's son Yu Wantong later entered Green Forest Mountain and became general Long Xiang Army. He rebelled and was executed by the nine tribes."
As he said that, he quickly looked through the fish scale album.
Although the above record is vague, it can be seen that it changed hands several times, and the last time it changed hands was fifty years ago.
Li Yan mused, "A fifty-year-old house with no one to look after it and no one to occupy it probably has something wrong with it."
With that said, he asked Officer Yang to call nearby residents.
"This house is a bit evil."
An old man living nearby shook his head and said, "I remember when I was young, this house was occupied by a group of beggars. Because it was dilapidated and the owner was nowhere to be found, people ignored it."
"Who would have known that within two days, these beggars would kill each other and kill each other. The ground was covered with corpses and the smell of blood was overwhelming."
"After the imperial court cleared away the corpses, another family who had just moved in gave money and wanted to occupy the place and renovate it."
"In less than half a month, the family's business was completely in ruins. Even the owner of the house was attacked by bandits and his body was exposed in the wilderness."
"Later, everyone said that the feng shui here was not good, so no one cared about it anymore. But one time I got up at night and vaguely heard a noise in the house. It seemed like someone was talking."
"I was scared and thought it was Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts, so I pretended not to hear and went back to my room to sleep..."
After asking carefully, after the old man left, Centurion Zheng said in a deep voice, "It seems that this place has been planned for a long time. Although it has changed hands several times, it is always under the control of the demon."
"Long Xiang Army has joined forces with the Heavenly Saint Sect. Maybe they are also involved in this matter..."
At this time, the sky was already dim.
The eastern sun rises from the top of the mountain, the morning light dispels the darkness, and the mist covering the surface of the old house seems to be lifted by the sunlight.
Wang Dao Xuan looked at the changes in light and shadow nearby, stood up suddenly, looked at the surrounding city walls, and suddenly realized. "I understand!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the west and said, "Dangyang County is high in the west and low in the east. It is the dragon vein and transitions to Jianghan Plain, which is located between Yin and Yang."
"The old county town has been renovated several times, and the original layout has long been destroyed. A trace of yin energy has been released, but it has been suppressed by Guanling and lingers here, forming a yin furnace."
"There is Guanling in the north and Purple Canopy Mountain Cave in the south to prevent the Yin Qi from appearing. Then we can use formations to make it escape by taking advantage of the changing intervals of the sun and the moon."
"Fellow Daoists, who still has Bagua Mirror?"
"I'll take it with you!"
After all, they are Xuan Gate Disciple, and they all carry precious mirrors with them.
According to Wang Dao Xuan's instructions, two Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect disciples stood on the north and south sides of the old house respectively, pointing Bagua Mirror towards the north and south.
Bagua Mirror has the function of blocking reflection.
As soon as the mirror was hung up, the old house suddenly changed.
Li Yan and others' expressions changed drastically.
In the eyes of others, the old house suddenly became eerie.
But for the warlock, the feeling is extremely clear.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "I can smell the smell of blood all over the courtyard, and Yin Energy is flowing around that old locust tree..."
The disciple of the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect who was through Yin Yang Eyes said in a cold voice, "The whole courtyard is full of ghosts, worshiping that Old Locust Tree..."
As for Xuan Gate Disciple, who could hear the words of ghosts and gods, his ears trembled and his face turned ugly as he said, "They are worshiping. They are dead ghosts worshiping the Yin God!"
This is one of the reasons why Li Yan asked them to come down the mountain.
All ghosts and gods in the world are invisible. Xuan Gate People awakens Spiritual Root. Some people hear it, some people see it, and some people can smell it.
It's like a blind man touching an elephant, unable to get all the information.
If you want to find the hiding place of Tiger Demon, you need the help of other people.
Seeing the key, the disciple of the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect immediately understood, "This is a method of sacrificing Yin gods based on 'Connecting True Gathering Origin Sanctuary', killing people to sacrifice to ghosts, and also mixed with the secret methods of ghost religion."
"If we want to open the altar and destroy it, we must go back to the mountain and ask a few brothers to come and help."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "We don't have time, is there any other way?"
Bamboo Mountain Sect A disciple said, "Ghosts worship the Yin God, which is a very dangerous pattern. Fortunately, it is daytime. If it were turned on at night, I am afraid that the Yin God would have appeared to kill people."
"It is Locust Wood. We can use Peach Wood Arrow to temporarily restrain it, but these ghosts must be eliminated at the same time, otherwise Peach Wood Arrow will be broken and the ghosts will be released."
"But the Yin God is alarmed. This place has become a sinister place. Ghosts can come out during the day. I am afraid that if they enter it, they will be possessed."
"Leave this to me!"
Li Yan turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Sha, go back to the county government office and bring me Cloud Thunder Divine Drum."
Everyone didn't waste any time and quickly made preparations.
Bamboo Mountain Sect inherits the tradition of Chinese witchcraft and incorporates Chu witchcraft into it, and is best at using various plants to ward off evil spirits.
There is just a way to deal with Old Locust Tree, the evil spirit that resides here.
They all carried mahogany bows and arrows with them. They drew talismans on the spot, took out twelve Peach Wood Arrow, and pasted Yellow Talisman on them one by one.
And Cloud Thunder Divine Drum was also taken.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed many people.
Although Officer Yang and others were intercepting the outside, there were still three circles inside and three outside. There were many people standing in the outer three circles, looking around and whispering:
"So the monster is here?"
"I just said there's something wrong with this house..."
Li Yan ignored it, came to Cloud Thunder Divine Drum, hung Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel on the beast's mouth, and nodded to the Bamboo Mountain Sect disciple.
The two disciples immediately jumped up and jumped onto the nearby roof. At the same time, they pinched Mystical Gestures and drew their mahogany bows.
Phew!
There is a sound of breaking the air, two Peach Wood Arrow, directly inserted into Old Locust Tree.
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
Inside the old house, Yin Wind suddenly roared, and the fallen leaves rolled up black smoke, forming whirlwinds that flew up and down.
At the same time, shrill shouts sounded.
Even mortals can hear this sound.
The people watching suddenly turned pale with fright and retreated one after another.
And Li Yan also has divine luck and beats the divine drum.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of the drums was like thunder, shaking the entire county.
This Cloud Thunder Divine Drum originally has the ability to exorcise evil spirits. When combined with Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel, its power is even more amazing.
Li Yan used it before, and with one blow, the surrounding Yin Soul were wiped out.
This time, it was extraordinary again.
Phew~
Yin Wind roared, those black whirlwinds wrapped in fallen leaves rushed directly out of the gate of the old house.
Boom!
At this moment, Cloud Thunder Divine Drum sounded.
The drums vibrated, and those black whirlwinds suddenly dispersed.
Seeing this situation, the two disciples of the Bamboo Mountain Sect did not dare to neglect, and they shot arrows while making secrets.
Bang bang bang!
Peach Wood Arrow, all shot into the old Sophora japonica.
Li Yan kept beating the divine drum, scattering all the Yin Soul Fierce Ghost that swarmed out.
As the drum beat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This Cloud Thunder Divine Drum is quite powerful, and its consumption is extremely staggering.
Even if his Daoism has improved now, it is still a bit difficult to perform such a powerful technique.
Fortunately, the disciple of the Bamboo Mountain Sect moved very quickly, and with the help of two disciples of the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect and Wang Dao Xuan, all the Yin Soul Fierce Ghost who rushed out were scattered.
After a pack of cigarettes, the old house finally returned to peace.
On the Old Locust Tree in the courtyard, twelve Peach Wood Arrow were deeply immersed in it, buzzing and trembling continuously.
All Yin Soul Fierce Ghost in the hospital were also wiped out.
"Do it!"
Centurion Zheng, who had been prepared for a long time, gave the order, and several Commandery Commandant Office soldiers immediately lit Fire Caltrop and threw it directly into the old courtyard.
Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by several loud noises, the house collapsed and smoke and dust flew everywhere.
The situation in this old house was completely destroyed.
Li Yan and others ignored the smoke and dust and rushed directly into it, doused Old Locust Tree with kerosene and lit it on fire.
In an instant, the fire was blazing, black smoke filled the air, and a corpse-like stench suddenly spread to the surroundings.
The people who smelled the smell felt upset and vomited one after another.
Amidst the crackling sound, an old and vicious roar sounded vaguely, and then Old Locust Tree collapsed suddenly.
Phew~
A puff of Yin Wind blew by, and the smell disappeared.
Li Yan and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
The evil things in the courtyard have been sacrificed for hundreds of years and are comparable to ghosts and gods. Once they are allowed to escape, they really can't deal with them.
When the flames extinguished and Old Locust Tree was completely burned into coke, everyone entered the courtyard again and searched carefully.
Sure enough, there was a tomb underneath Old Locust Tree. It was not large and only contained a Locust Wood coffin.
And the roots of Old Locust Tree are just connected to it.
Li Yan kicked the coffin lid away, took a breath of cold air, and said in a voiceless voice, "What the hell is this?"
All I saw was a withered skeleton lying inside.
There is no head on the neck, but there are many osteomas densely growing on the spine and sternum, which look like skulls...
