Do You Recognize This?
"Damn it, that yellow-skinned old rat is plotting against me again!"
In this situation, how could Yin Yunze not understand that he had once again been tricked by Grandfather Huang Three's mental manipulation?
What Yin Yunze forgot was that after he used up all the Expel Character Talisman he had, he didn't take out any new Expel Character Talisman to refresh his status.
It must be said that compared to forced manipulation, which is easier for people to react to, this kind of application that simply makes people forget some small details is really too difficult to guard against.
Thinking of this, Yin Yunze couldn't help but curse under his breath: This yellow-skinned old rat is really cunning!
Having learned from his previous failure, Grandfather Huang Three actually used the Earth Vein Power to move the entire Grandfather Three Temple over.
As for the mental manipulation, besides making Yin Yunze forget to use the Expel Character Talisman to refresh the status, it only prevented Yin Yunze from seeing the Grandfather Three Temple.
Furthermore, in fact, the existence of the Grandfather Three Temple at the village entrance was, in Yin Yunze's subjective perception, abnormal.
Just two minor changes nearly led Yin Yunze into this deadly place.
Yin Yunze, who thought like a normal person, really didn't expect this to happen, and his attention was completely focused on Grandfather Huang Three, this old weasel.
Grandfather Huang Three also realized that Yin Yunze was more wary of him, which is why he said those half-truths.
The purpose was to attract Yin Yunze's attention, lower Yin Yunze's vigilance regarding mind manipulation, and to provide cover for quietly moving the Grandfather Three Temple there.
If Yin Yunze is truly persuaded by those words, this would be an unexpected bonus. Since Yin Yunze has agreed, Grandfather Huang Three will naturally not lose out; at most, he'll just have to Earth Vein Power to move Grandpa Huang back.
If Yin Yunze remains unconvinced, then it will be the same process as before: play the victim and then reluctantly agree to Yin Yunze's request.
Grandfather Huang Three staying in place could lower Yin Yunze 'Yin Yunze guard and also better distract him.
It can be said that at this final stage, the more anxious Yin Yunze is to leave, the more likely he is to stumble into Grandfather Huang Three's scheme.
If Yin Yunze hadn't been vigilant enough and hadn't used the speed boost from the Power of Incense Offerings to escape, he probably would have rushed straight into the Grandfather Three Temple in just a few steps.
After figuring out Grandfather Huang Three's scheme, Yin Yunze was covered in cold sweat.
Sure enough, when dealing with this cunning old man, you can never be too cautious.
However, despite the lingering fear, Grandfather Huang Three's method also opened up another avenue for Yin Yunze to apply Illusion Techniques. Mental manipulation and Illusion Technique overlap to some extent, and Illusion Technique are even more flexible and versatile than mental manipulation.
Previously, Yin Yunze's application of Illusion Technique had always focused on large-scale or exquisite aspects.
However, this approach might fool ordinary people, but it becomes less effective against cultivators or Incense God.
But if grand Illusion Technique are too easily detected, what about subtle, small-scale concealments, like those used by Grandfather Huang Three?
With this in mind, Yin Yunze felt a surge of new inspiration.
Unfortunately, this is not the time for Yin Yunze to devote his energy to thinking and researching.
"What, little girl, have you changed your mind? Are you going to stay and help your third grandfather with this?"
Seeing Yin Yunze stop at this last step, even the old man, Grandfather Huang Three, became a little nervous and couldn't help but urge him on.
Realizing that Grandfather Huang Three hadn't noticed he was awake, Yin Yunze secretly made up his mind.
The more Grandfather Huang Three wanted Yin Yunze to do something, the less Yin Yun would allow him to have his way.
Since Grandfather Huang Three is trying so hard to get Yin Yunze into the Grandfather Three Temple, then Yin Yunze should absolutely not go in!
Moreover, not only will Yin Yunze not go in, he also intends to tear down this wretched, dilapidated temple.
Having been deceived and schemed against time and again, Yin Yunze had given up on the idea of leaving peacefully. And it seemed that Yin Yunze was no match for this old rat's cunning.
Then let's give it our all!
Having made up his mind, Yin Yunze acted decisively, and the Fire Character Talisman in his hand instantly turned to ashes.
Of the forty-odd green fireballs, Yin Yunze threw ten at Grandfather Huang Three, and the remaining thirty-odd were all thrown at Grandfather Three Temple.
Faced with Yin Yunze's attacks from both sides, Grandfather Huang Three realized that his scheme had been seen through by Yin Yunze once again.
However, Grandfather Huang Three was not angry. Since Yin Yunze had not escaped, the advantage was still in his hands. Raising his dragon-headed cane, Grandfather Huang Three methodically shattered the ten Fox Fire into countless sparks.
Needless to say, the thirty-odd fireballs at the Grandfather Three Temple were initially able to burn for a short while after landing on the wall. However, as the viscous black gas, resembling tar, began to surge, these thirty-odd Fox Fire were extinguished instantly, like match heads falling into water.
With a sinking feeling in his heart, Yin Yunze touched the ground again with his left hand, this time with the Expel Character Talisman.
More than twenty Expel Character Talisman turned into ashes. A few were used to Expel Evil and Dispel Filth and purify the environment to delay Grandfather Huang Three, while the remaining dozen or so Expel Evil and Dispel Filth flew towards Grandfather Three Temple.
Grandfather Huang Three found it much easier to deal with the Expel Evil and Dispel Filth.
He extended his dragon-headed staff and gently shook it, but all seven or eight Expel Evil and Dispel Filth and purify the air were blocked by the staff.
"Little fox girl, your third grandfather is not an evil spirit!"
Unperturbed by Yin Yunze's two attacks, Grandfather Huang Three simply grinned and said in a sinister tone, "Grandpa Huang advises you not to waste your time. You're refusing to listen to reason and will only drink the punishment if you continue like this. If you keep this up, Grandpa Huang will really have to teach you a lesson!"
Yin Yunze didn't believe what Grandfather Huang Three said. Fox Fire was one thing, but even Yin Yunze, its master, had burned it, so blocking it wouldn't be a problem.
But Expel Evil and Dispel Filth ----
For evil spirits or those who practice Evil Method Expel Evil and Dispel Filth is indeed an offensive skill. However, for ordinary people or Incense God like Yin Yunze, Expel Evil and Dispel Filth is a purification process that removes negative influences.
If Grandfather Huang Three was truly unafraid, he could have taken the blow himself instead of using his dragon-headed cane to block it.
However, what Grandfather Huang Three said wasn't entirely false. As if to prove Grandfather Huang Three's words, Yin Yunze's twenty or so Expel Evil and Dispel Filth thrown towards Grandfather Three Temple were met with a setback for the first time.
Perhaps "frustrated" isn't quite the right word; its ability to Expel Evil and Dispel Filth is certainly much stronger than that of Fox Fire.
Unlike Fox Fire that extinguishes upon contact with water, the Expel Evil and Dispel Filth exploded like fireworks, creating a small patch of viscous black mist.
However, it only exploded for a fleeting moment.
As the viscous black mist gathered again, its exorcising and Expel Evil and Dispel Filth were quickly worn away.
Compared to the accumulated experience of Grandfather Huang Three over a century, Yin Yunze's methods all seemed rather naive.
This also explains why Grandfather Huang Three, the veteran Land God, is so composed towards Yin Yunze, the newly appointed Land God.
If Yin Yunze's methods were limited to this, he might have been doomed this time.
Fortunately, Yin Yunze is not just a Land God; he has the backing of another world. Moreover, Yin Yunze is also a person who is willing to use his brain and knows how to learn from his mistakes.
Seeing that conventional methods were ineffective, Yin Yunze realized that this time he needed to use some unconventional methods.
With a flick of his left hand, a cylindrical object appeared in his palm, almost too small for Zhao Wan's hand to grasp.
After affixing a Fire Character Talisman, Yin Yunze, with the Power of Incense Offerings, threw it into the main hall of the Grandfather Three Temple.
At the same time, Yin Yunze flicked his Snake Bone Whip with his right hand, and the whip was once again engulfed in ghostly green Fox Fire.
Wielding the Fox Flame Snake Bone Whip, Yin Yunze, Power of Incense Offerings, charged towards Grandfather Huang Three.
Seeing Yin Yunze running towards him, Grandfather Huang Three shook his head helplessly, as if he were looking at a mischievous junior, and sighed, "Little fox girl, give up! We're all immortals who have attained enlightenment. Your methods are things I've already mastered—"
"So, I wasn't planning on using any of your tricks!"
As Yin Yunze spoke, the Fire Character Talisman that had been thrown out transformed into a ball of Fox Fire, scorching the object.
Looking at Grandfather Huang Three, who seemed to have victory in his grasp, Yin Yunze sneered, "Old man, do you recognize this move?"
Take this! Physical exorcism!
After shouting this sentence quickly and with great momentum, Yin Yunze suddenly turned around, lunged behind a large tree, and lay down on the ground.
Just as Grandfather Huang Three was puzzled by Yin Yunze's actions, a deafening roar and a burst of flame accompanied by thick smoke suddenly came from the direction of the main hall of Grandfather Three Temple.
The Grandfather Three Temple, which had stood in Upper Creek Village for over a century, crumbled instantly in the flames, leaving behind only ruins and broken walls.
