Ghost Head Averting God
The moment the stench filled the room, Zhou Yang felt as if the air had suddenly boiled over!
Even this empty room suddenly felt cramped!
Zhou Yang glanced around and noticed that strange auras were gathering in the corners of the house.
In an instant, a dark gray face suddenly appeared.
Its hair was disheveled, and it had eight eyes. It stretched out its neck, which was more than ten feet long, and began to gnaw at the scarlet cord that was moving in and out of the fake abdomen.
Then more children giggled, and one after another, little devils as thin as bean sprouts jumped out.
They hopped around the scarlet rope on the ground, making soft, childlike noises. Upon closer inspection, they were indeed hunched-back, small-footed old women.
Suddenly, a bloody hole appeared in the corner.
A red-faced, fanged head with a full head of green hair floated out of the hole first. The hair on its head was tightly gripped by a pale arm—the arm was severed at the shoulder, and then there was nothing else!
Then came a dark shadow with a planer embedded in its neck, a river floater floating in a pool of blood, and a grotesque corpse with only its left half—so many ghostly figures appeared one after another in the room, surrounding Zhou Yang!
They eagerly licked the pig's blood on the ground and devoured the piece of pig intestine that had spilled out of the fake abdomen!
The intense pain was so intense that it reached the Zhou Yang's head!
His face turned deathly pale!
However, despite the intense pain, Zhou Yang's thoughts remained largely undisturbed.
Although he was personally experiencing such intense pain, he remained like an observer, or a soul that had drifted out of his body, able to calmly deal with the various sufferings his body was enduring.
This is the change that Mindfulness has brought to me----
"I know in my heart that this pain is illusory, and that there are no evil spirits devouring my internal organs. So no matter how intense the pain may be, it can no longer disturb my mind."
"Eight strands of Mindfulness have actually given rise to a renunciation similar to that described in Buddhist scriptures."
"Mindfulness reaches its peak, or even if I cultivate Upright Heart, will I be able to ignore the real physical pain and attain a more complete state of mind?"
As Zhou Yang pondered, he glanced at the numerous ghostly figures vying for food around him.
Chang Dafeng taught Ding Ling a cheap method to "Gate of Opening Creating a Zhen spirits," which he called "Curse Creation God," but in reality, it was about "catching Averting God" or "fishing for Averting God."
Yi Ding Ling had essentially captured a ghostly shadow and transformed it into his own Gate of Opening Averting God.
In fact, the method of Creating a Zhen by Gate of Opening, as recorded in "Draft of Divine Makeup and Ghost Painting", involves an additional step after Slitting the Belly and Spilling the Intestines.
That is, after the ghosts and spirits have eaten the pig intestines, the remaining pig intestines and the fake abdomen are burned to ashes. The abdomen then suffers the pain of being stabbed and pierced by knives and swords. After enduring this second pain, the Gate of Opening Averting God can be created.
By Creating a Zhen the ritual in a complete manner, many risks can be reduced.
The drawback is that the Averting God Curse Creation God by this method are not as good as those created by Ding Ling's method.
After all, Ding Ling had directly grabbed a ghostly shadow to use.
The Curse Creation God the complete ritual is actually a remnant of ghosts and gods, refined into a Averting God.
Now, Zhou Yang is about to complete the full ritual of "opening the Gate of Opening evil".
He had planned for a long time, put in a lot of effort, and possessed the "Breathing of the Ghost" and "Supernatural Ripple," so what he wanted could not possibly be Averting God created by some remnants of ghosts and gods.
What use is such Averting God in his current situation?
I'm afraid that if they were released, they would be terrified and killed by the Ghost Rhyme of the ghosts in Guan Village!
"Buzz"
Zhou Yang watched as the ghostly figures devoured most of the pig intestines, and some of them seemed ready to leave.
He suddenly smiled, Handprint Ripple appeared around his body!
Supernatural Ripple vibrated the air, spreading outwards in layers!
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire room!
The ghostly shadows that lingered throughout the room were suppressed by the sudden ripples of Supernatural Ripple, and they immediately began to struggle fiercely!
Previously, Zhou Yang had used ripples to reflect the Ghost Rhyme of the three ghosts of the Zhou Family, and then erased them one by one.
But he was truly greedy at this point, and used his hand seal to cover more than ten ghostly figures in the room—each ghostly figure was equivalent to a Ghost Rhyme!
As these dozen or so ghostly figures unleashed their power, the Handprint Ripple covering Zhou Yang's room trembled incessantly, creating ripples upon ripples!
In the corner, a pale arm emerged from the bloody hole, wildly swinging the red-faced, fanged ghost head in its hand, even smashing a hole in the Handprint Ripple, before it tried to retreat!
"Great materials!"
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at the ghostly figure!
Curse Creation God for him is like raising poisonous insects.
Since it involves raising venomous insects, one must seek out some fierce and vicious ones.
What good Gu can be raised from just scraps?
At that moment, Zhou Yang did not hesitate for a moment, and opened all the Ghost Mouth except for his navel and the surrounding area!
"Ughhhhh!"
A mournful, ghostly wail erupted!
From the Ghost Mouth, chilling auras flowed into the Handprint Ripple, causing the ripples to suddenly intensify. The layers of ripples created by the numerous ghostly figures were abruptly stopped, and the hole smashed open by the pale arm was repaired!
The Handprint Ripple covered more than ten ghostly figures!
Like a millstone turning round and round, grinding down the hard soybeans underneath!
As the ripples spread outwards, some ghostly figures couldn't withstand them and lingered within them, only to be erased. In contrast, the fake abdomen and pig intestines that Zhou Yang made from various cursed objects provided temporary protection for these ghostly figures.
Therefore, the ghostly figures that could not resist immediately wriggled and crawled over the layers of ripples, burrowing into the pig intestines that Zhou Yang had prepared in advance.
The first ghostly figure burrowed into the pig's intestines, followed by a series of ghostly figures that burrowed into the false abdomen one after another!
In the end, only that pale arm holding the red-faced, fanged demon's head remained, still trapped by layers of ripples, struggling in all directions.
Even as it was about to dissipate, it still refused to submit.
Zhou Yang gathered up all the ghostly figures that had surrounded him. Now he had a free hand and rushed to the ghostly figure grabbing his head. He suddenly clenched the ripples into a fist and gathered them into a bright point in his left hand. The ghostly figure was freed from its restraints and was about to escape!
But at that moment, Zhou Yang reached out his left hand and grabbed that pale arm!
The feel of it is like grasping a ball of cotton, or like grasping nothing at all!
As Zhou Yang pulled his elbow back, the ghostly figure was lifted up and then suppressed by Ming Dian, shrinking into Zhou Yang's palm and being completely stuffed into the fake abdomen!
Without delay, Zhou Yang carried the fake belly to the corner of the room and threw some leaves into the clay stove. The glowing red charcoal blocks that had been prepared in the stove caught fire with the leaves and burst into flames, instantly igniting the fake belly that Zhou Yang had thrown over!
For some unknown reason, the artificial abdomen was made of flesh and blood, and was not easy to ignite.
But when the fire in the stove met this thing filled with ghostly shadows, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and suddenly a huge fire broke out!
This fire, however, was a "wheat straw fire."
Although it caused a great stir for a time, it wouldn't burn for long.
In no time, the fire went out, leaving only ashes.
Zhou Yang carefully gathered the ashes, swept them into a water bowl, held the bowl with his eyes closed, and drank the water in one gulp!
I can't even describe what this water tastes like.
I just thought the water must be unclean, and that if an ordinary person drank it, they would probably get an upset stomach.
The moment this thought arose, Zhou Yang's stomach suddenly began to hurt!
Just like being slashed or struck by a sword!
Inside, the intestines were curling up, swaying, and dancing!
This pain, however, did not seem like a hallucination.
Even with Zhou Yang's current Mindfulness, he is unable to remove this pain from his consciousness.
But he was much more tolerant than before.
After enduring the pain with a straight face for a while, it subsided.
At that moment, Zhou Yang suddenly felt as if a patient with a long-term, incurable nasal congestion had suddenly found their nostrils clear.
He had the same feeling when he Gate of Opening for Ding Ling.
Having experienced this throughout his life, Zhou Yang knew that the first of the eight gates was already the key to success. Upon Gate of Opening, he had already Creating a Zhen unease.
He glanced at himself out of the corner of his eye and saw his own Gate of Opening Averting God as he opened the door.
A pale arm grasped a head with disheveled hair.
The head had no facial features, only two hollow eyes that served as nostrils, and they were twitching slightly.
Upon seeing the Gate of Opening Averting God, Zhou Yang was first taken aback, then suddenly realized.
His first Averting God was formed by gathering numerous ghostly figures, using the last hand-and-headed ghostly shadow as its vessel.
In terms of appearance, it is similar to that hand-clawed ghost head shadow, which is not surprising.
At this moment, Zhou Yang's mind was connected with the Averting God, and he fully understood the abilities possessed by this Averting God.
This "Gate of Opening Averting God" first and foremost possesses the ability to "Smell the Living and Detect the Dead."
Hiding beside Zhou Yang, it could smell the deathly aura around it through the two holes in its blank face.
For most people, this skill is merely used to determine whether the surrounding environment is dangerous or not, but Zhou Yang used it to collect more images of the dead.
Furthermore, if any ghosts or spirits are spying on Zhou Yang, Gate of Opening Men Yan will be the first to sense it and issue a warning to Zhou Yang.
Even if the ghosts and gods did not cast Ghost Rhyme on Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang could still know in advance whether he had been exposed among the ghosts, or even find out which ghosts were targeting him, by relying on this "Ghost Head Averting God".
Combining these two abilities, Zhou Yang collectively referred to it as "the ability to Smell the Living and Detect the Dead."
Besides this, "Ghost Head Averting God" has another skill, which lies in its blank face.
As Zhou Yang was pondering how to test the second ability of the Ghost Head Averting God, the Averting God's nostrils suddenly began to twitch rapidly. Zhou Yang immediately sensed this and first took away the paper clothes that were covering the room and draped them over himself.
After cleaning the room again, the Ghost Head Averting God hidden inside the Gate of Opening.
After finishing all these things, he Gate of Opening and lay on the bed for a while longer.
Before Zhou Yang could even react or hear a sound, his bedroom door was suddenly flung open with a loud bang!
Outside the door, all the Zhou Family except Zhou Yang stood in neat rows!
The person who pushed open the door was Huang Shaozi. After she Gate of Opening, she looked at Zhou Yang, who was so startled that he sat up in bed. Her triangular eyes swept around the room, and a satisfied look appeared on her face. However, she turned her face away and left a dissatisfied and gloomy look on Zhou Heigou.
Seeing her expression, how could Zhou Yang not understand?
It must have been that Heigouzi talking badly about him to the Shaozi again.
This is why Huang Shaozi suddenly stopped and questioned us!
If he hadn't been protected by the Ghost Head Averting God, this surprise inspection would have been difficult to handle!
Zhou Yang's mind raced, but his face remained a mixture of shock and anger as he loudly complained to the people standing outside the door, "Mother, Father! Why do you walk so quietly?!"
"I remember locking the gate, and I didn't hear you Gate of Opening, yet you came into the house!"
"That startled me!"
"Next time Gate of Opening, please let me know—is there something you need?"
Faced with his questioning, Zhou Laogou remained expressionless and unresponsive.
Huang Shaozi spoke, but not to Zhou Yang, but to Zhou Heigou: "He is still your own brother, born of the same mother, and of the same Zhou Family bloodline!"
"Don't think so badly of him. He keeps telling me he's doing bad things behind his family's back, and look at that!"
"Your brother finally got a chance to rest, and you have to interfere!"
"You're going to stir things up again!" Huang Shaozi's face suddenly turned ferocious.
With a flick of his dark red lips, he revealed scarlet gums and a mouthful of tiny, sharp teeth that looked like shark teeth!
This appearance truly terrified Zhou Heigou!
Zhou Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, saw obvious fear on Zhou Heigou's face!
At this moment, Zhou Laogou, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood in front of Zhou Heigou, blocking Heigou behind him.
Huang Shaozi's unvented violent aura dissipated almost entirely when he encountered Zhou Laogou.
Her fat face trembled, and she lowered her voice. "It's the Heigou's fault—the child was wrong, he needs to be taught and punished—"
Otherwise, he'll become increasingly unruly.
"Heigou loves me," Zhou Laogou said indifferently. "I'll teach him his rules."
As he spoke, he turned to Zhou Heigou and said, "Apologize to your third brother."
"!" Zhou Heigou immediately responded.
He walked past his parents and into the house, his eyes still scanning the surroundings, trying to find some clues. Finally, he smiled and looked at Zhou Yang.
Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of malice. "Third brother, I have wronged you."
"I thought you were hiding from us again."
"I apologize to you, please forgive me."
Meeting his gaze, Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes and whispered, "It's alright—"
If he can't kill me right away, why does he always provoke me for no reason?
If I were to kill someone, I would never let that person know, and I would show them extra weakness and kindness.
I made sure that person never imagined, even until his death, that I was the one who killed him.
Zhou Yang was completely baffled by the Heigou's series of actions.
He never imagined that, for people like Heigou who entered the Guan Village mostly to obtain Official Body, someone like him who mistakenly entered the Guan Village was merely cannon fodder, a little toy for them to vent their frustrations in an environment of immense psychological pressure.
"Father, Mother." Zhou Heigou didn't care about Zhou Yang's response. He had seen this weak appearance on the faces of several missing people in Guan Village.
Only after Zhou Yang spoke did the Heigou turn to look at his parents, saying with a relaxed expression, "Little Yanger said he's fine!"
"I really didn't mean any harm; I just wanted to let you know in advance if he did anything wrong."
As he spoke, Zhou Heigou walked toward Laogou.
A hint of approval appeared on the Laogou's wooden face.
Huang Shaozi looked at Zhou Yang, who was lying on the bed with his head down, his face full of sorrow and his eyes filled with tears.
Watching Huang Shaozi close the door for him, Zhou Yang sat on the bed, his mind racing. "In this family, the order is Zhou Laogou> Huang Shaozi> Zhou Heigou, and I'm at the very bottom."
The phrase "the Baigou seems to be a marginal character, but it never actively intervenes in family disputes" doesn't reveal its status.
I need to stay alert—
Zhou Yang raised his eyelids.
As the Gate of Opening, the pale arm that had been gripping the ghost's head suddenly released it.
It grasped at the void, and a faint sense of life gathered in its palm, instantly forming a wrinkled face.
With his arm, he pressed the face skin onto the blank face of the ghost head, and it instantly transformed into the appearance of Zhou Heigou!
The arm once again grabbed the head that was exactly the same as Zhou Heigou's, held it up to Zhou Yang's neck, and released a whiff of Averting God energy that blended with the paper clothes on Zhou Yang's body and interacted with Zhou Yang himself.
In that instant, Zhou Yang suddenly transformed into Zhou Heigou!
Ghost Head Averting God's second ability is "to transform into the appearance of a living person".
This ability was originally somewhat rudimentary; when disguised as someone else in front of a ghost, it would be almost instantly detected!
However, Zhou Yang's paper clothes could be combined with the ability of the Ghost Head Averting God.
He transformed into other people, and within a short time, he was able to fool the ghosts!
