Zhang Daoting thought Oliver Xie was going to fight with someone, but when he saw that he took out a wooden sword, he felt relieved. "Are you going to perform a ritual? Should I stay here and guard the door?"
"You stay here, I'll go alone." Oliver Xie took the three swords out of the box, held them in his hands and walked out through the back door.
Even if there were more people in Baoyang Temple, he would not be able to take Zhang Daoting with him. Zhang Daoting had not learned any skills, and the people in Taihe Temple were not willing to publicize this.
It had been a while since Oliver Xie came from that merchant shop. By the time Oliver Xie arrived at the scene, the ambulance had also arrived.
Oliver Xie squeezed in and saw that the medical staff were carrying the old Taoist priest onto a stretcher. His legs were deformed and there was a big cut on his waist, bleeding profusely.
"Master, are you okay?" Oliver Xie asked the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest was still awake, but his mind seemed to be a little unclear and he was talking nonsense.
The onlookers nearby thought that this was a crazy old man who ran in when the construction site was stopped and then slipped and fell down.
This is the construction site where Tyler He and his friends saw the ghost last time. For some reason, the construction has been stopped for several days. It has been a while, and no one from Taihe Temple has come to look for the old Taoist priest. It seems that something has really happened inside.
"This is the Taoist priest of Taihe Temple. You can just call Taihe Temple later." Oliver Xie said to a medical staff member and slipped away before the other person could react.
...
The sky was gradually darkening and the sun was setting in the west.
Oliver Xie held the sword Jian San and sneaked into a gap in the construction site before the construction team realized what was going on. A large shopping mall was going to be built here, and the roof had been sealed long ago, and there was no worker at the moment.
The interior of the mall has not yet started to be renovated. It is all cement floors and cement walls. Because no one has started working, there is not a single light, and it is pitch black when you walk inside.
The room was very big and Oliver Xie could not hear any sound for a while. Then he had an idea and put down the Three Treasures Sword, took out a small bag of cinnabar from his pocket and chanted a spell.
"...Why bother to draw my image with your skillful hands? I just want your heart to be in harmony with mine. I now pray for your coming, and your aura to shine through my mind!"
After reciting it, he dipped his hand in cinnabar and drew a curved line between his eyebrows, which looked like the Arabic numeral 2, but the arc was rounder and the upper hook was more curved. A circle was drawn in the center of the upper hook like an eyeball.
This is Wang Lingguan's urgent prayer mantra, which can be used to ask Wang Lingguan to possess a body in an emergency. However, Oliver Xie only wants to borrow the supernatural power of the ancestor now, so he draws "eyes" between the eyebrows. The statue of Wang Lingguan has three eyes on his forehead, and he only borrows his supernatural power.
Generally speaking, not every Taoist priest can succeed every time in inviting gods to possess their bodies. However, Oliver Xie's situation is a little different. In addition to his talent, he is also building a statue for Wang Lingguan... Wouldn't it be reasonable for Wang Lingguan not to respond to him?
When Oliver Xie moved his hand away from his eyes, he could see yin energy, some thick and some thin. The location of this construction site had more yin energy than other places, which was not good feng shui for living people.
He turned on the light and looked around in the dim light, only to discover that the yin energy was particularly strong near a certain pillar, so he strode over.
As soon as Oliver Xie turned behind the pillar, he saw a short-haired man standing there with his head down.
The man raised his head, revealing a pale face, dirty blood flowing from all seven orifices, and staring at Oliver Xie with dull eyes.
Oliver Xie took a step back in fear, "Fcuk!"
"Ah---" At the same time, the male ghost opened his mouth with a look of horror and screamed miserably, trembling.
Oliver Xie: ...
Oliver Xie: "What the hell is there for you to yell at me!"
The male ghost shook his head violently, not daring to look at the third eye painted with cinnabar on Oliver Xie's forehead. Wang Lingguan was in charge of exorcising evil spirits with thunder and fire, and he was extremely strong and brave. When Oliver Xie suddenly started to ask Wang Lingguan for his magical powers, the lonely ghost was frightened and hid away.
Oliver Xie had never communicated with a ghost before, or he had never seen many ghosts. At this time, he raised the sword and planned to chop the ghost.
The male ghost was so frightened that he waved his hands frantically, and his body floated up uncontrollably. It was just a lonely ghost, and it had only been a ghost for a short time, so it could only bark a few times at most, and it could not communicate with Oliver Xie through words with its soul.
"Hmm? Wait... are you the one who fell here before?" Oliver Xie saw the male ghost nod, thinking that this ghost was about as brave as Tyler He, not even as brave as the ghost in his uncle's house, so he was embarrassed to take action, "Have you seen any Taoist priests?"
The male ghost pointed deep into the darkness.
Every thing has its own nemesis. This male ghost had scared Tyler He before, but he became scared when he met Oliver Xie.
Oliver Xie said: "Okay, then you lead the way for me."
Although he invited the help of spiritual officials, he was not as familiar with the road conditions as those who lived here every day.
The male ghost quickly turned around and walked inside, but he didn’t know if it was Oliver Xie’s illusion, but a faint sob floated through the silent space.
...
Oliver Xie followed the male ghost deep into the construction site and climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw a thick yin energy, which gave people a wet and sticky feeling.
At the same time, there were faint voices coming from the room. Oliver Xie recognized that they were from the Taoist priests from Taihe Temple. He became alert and walked to the door.
At this time, the male ghost floated twice in front of Oliver Xie with a look of panic on his face, indicating that he wanted to leave.
"Go." Oliver Xie waved his hand, holding the three swords tightly, and walked out.
The situation on the empty fourth floor was very complicated. The moonlight shone in through the window, making the situation vague. An old woman was sitting in the corner, mumbling something. Next to her was an old man, his head resting on her arms, lifeless, obviously dead. There were seven jars around the two of them.
Not far away, Shi Changxuan was holding a wooden sword and talisman paper in his hands, and five ghost shadows were entangled with him.
Unlike the timid male ghost just now, these five ghost shadows are either red or green. Generally speaking, red ghosts are fierce, and the same is true for green. The brighter the color, the fiercer it is. But these five ghost shadows are not only red or green, but also extremely rich in color.
Shi Changxuan used magic tools and talismans to support himself. Oliver Xie was now possessed by Wang Lingguan's divine eyes, so he could not only see the ghost shadows and the negative energy, but also the spiritual light on Shi Changxuan's talisman.
The evil ghost screamed sharply under his talisman, but two of the three Taoist priests nearby threw themselves at him like crazy with ferocious faces, and the remaining one tried to stop them, but was also exhausted, and they all fought in a group.
"Master Shi!" Oliver Xie shouted and ran forward.
Shi Changxuan took the time to look at Oliver Xie, and his expression finally showed a ripple, with a flash of surprise.
At this time, the old woman also saw Oliver Xie, and her lips opened and closed faster.
---In an instant, the five evil spirits that were originally surrounding Shi Changxuan paused, and all turned around and rushed towards Oliver Xie.
Oliver Xie: ...
Oliver Xie almost couldn't stop the car, he stopped suddenly, turned around and ran back, cursing: "Fcuk you!"
Although he is here to help, there is no need for everyone to chase after him, right? !
Oliver Xie looked back and saw the five evil ghosts following him. There were gusts of cold wind and from close he could see their horrible faces. Shi Changxuan was not idle either. After being let go by the ghosts, he fought with the two Taoists who were obviously possessed by ghosts.
No matter how big this shopping mall is, it has an end. Oliver Xie even suspected that the old Taoist priest was chased and jumped off the building.
Oliver Xie was chased to the end of the window, and suddenly turned around, holding the sword in front of him, and shouted: "In all directions, the Tao will respond!"
The three swords are overflowing with sword energy!
The five ghosts screamed several times with their fangs and claws bared, and flew a dozen feet away.
The five ghosts were injured by the sword energy, and there were burn marks on their bodies, making them look even more ferocious.
This is the second sword of the Three Swords, the Sword of Frugality.
Kindness leads to courage, and frugality leads to generosity. The Kind Sword is a single-target attack, and its power can affect the surroundings, such as when Oliver Xie killed seven guest ghosts with one sword. But the Frugal Sword is a real large-scale attack. In the current situation, evil spirits are attacking from all directions, so it is more suitable to use the Frugal Sword.
However, this was the first time Oliver Xie used the second sword, so he was not very skilled and it took him a while to prepare.
However, these five evil ghosts were clearly summoned by the old woman. No one knew where she found such ferocious ghosts. After being injured, they continued to pounce on Oliver Xie under the urging.
On the other side, Shi Changxuan shouted: "Come here!"
Oliver Xie held his sword in front of him to clear the way, then ran back, reaching into his pockets.
Shi Changxuan pinned one of the possessed Taoists to the ground with one hand. The other two Taoists were still fighting. He bit his fingertips and drew a talisman on the Taoist's face.
The possessed Taoist priest screamed, and a green ghost jumped out of his body and hid in the jar in front of the old woman. Then he tilted his head and fainted.
Shi Changxuan stood up and drew another blood symbol on the sword. He then struck another mad Taoist priest on the back with the sword, knocking out the evil spirit from his body. The evil spirit was still floating in the air, screaming at Shi Changxuan.
The old woman laughed twice and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you run out of talismans? How much blood do you have left?"
A cold look appeared between Shi Changxuan's brows, and he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his bloodstained hands.
At this time, Oliver Xie, who had run not far away, finally took out something from his pocket. About fifty or sixty Lingzu amulets were scattered by him, falling like snowflakes.
Old woman: ...
Shi Changxuan: ...
Shi Changxuan reacted very quickly. He picked up a piece with his sword and quickly identified what kind of talisman it was. He chanted: "All gods bow, and the evil demons return to the right path!"
The talisman paper suddenly floated towards the evil ghost and seemed to stick to it. The evil ghost's body turned into dark mist as it rolled over, and a painful face appeared from time to time.
In the back, Oliver Xie also learned and put it into practice, picking up the talisman paper with his sword and sticking it on the bodies of those evil spirits.
Moreover, he was more generous. Unlike most people who were cautious when using talismans, he used the generosity of a wholesaler and pasted seven talismans on one box, not believing that the talismans could still move.
The only sober Taoist priest from Taihe Temple fought with the two possessed fellow Taoists for a long time. When he saw that the situation was getting better, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down exhausted, and looked at Oliver Xie with eyes full of gratitude.
"Little beast!" The old woman gritted her teeth in hatred. She didn't know where Oliver Xie came from. He seemed to be a Taoist disciple, but she couldn't tell his origins.
There are many Taoist sects. From the perspective of school, there are Quanzhen, Zhengyi, Maoshan, Laoshan, etc., not to mention their respective branches. According to the ancestors and founders they worship, there are Zhengyang School, Chunyang School, Natural School, etc.
Oliver Xie worshipped Wang Lingguan, who was a minority among the minority, so of course the old woman could not recognize him at first.
But Oliver Xie was very unhappy when he heard the old woman scolding people, "You are probably worse than an animal, old witch. It's tragic enough that people died, and you still imprisoned them."
He knew in his heart that this person was most likely the one who had paid money to cast an evil curse and was fighting with Chen Sansheng, the master of Taihe Temple, but he pretended not to know and said to Shi Changxuan and the Taoist priests of Taihe Temple: "I heard that a Taoist priest jumped off a building here. I felt something was wrong, so I came in to take a look."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xie." The Taoist priest from Taihe Temple sat on the ground and bowed.
"Don't be happy too soon." The old woman's eyes showed viciousness. She twisted her hands together to form a complicated hand seal and was about to chant a spell.
Oliver Xie was quick-witted and quick-handed. He bent down, picked up a brick left over from the renovation and threw it over.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the old woman was caught off guard. Although she dodged, her face was still bleeding.
Oliver Xie: "Huh? You're still in good shape!"
Shi Changxuan: ...
Taoist priest of Taihe Temple: ...
Oliver Xie was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me? I can't wait for her to finish reading the note, can I?"
Many seniors' experience tells us that we must not wait for the enemy's skills to finish reading, otherwise you will be finished. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that this old woman was still strong and had a quick reaction. If this hit, wouldn't he carry the whole game?
The old woman's expression became even more resentful after being hit. She smeared the blood on her face onto the dead face of the old man on her lap, but she herself collapsed visibly.
Oliver Xie saw that the evil aura emanating from the corpse was becoming increasingly dense, and then the corpse suddenly sat up. Several parts of its face were rapidly decaying, and it emitted a foul odor all over its body.
The Taoist priest at Taihe Temple turned pale and cursed: "How mad she is! She even refines her husband's corpse."
Oliver Xie didn't quite understand, but from the Taoist's tone, it seemed that having the corpse refined and controlled might not be a good thing for the ghost.
The old woman leaned against the wall, no longer having the strength to speak. The previous move had drained all her energy.
Shi Changxuan frowned, not expecting her to be so crazy, and whispered to Oliver Xie: "Seal this place up."
Oliver Xie didn't know what to do at first, but when he saw him looking at the talisman papers on the ground, he immediately reacted, nodded, bent down, collected all the talisman papers, and ran to the side.
This place is located in a bustling commercial district. He posted these spiritual ancestor amulets on doors, windows and exits. The spiritual ancestor amulets have many uses. They can drive away evil spirits, suppress ghosts, protect the body and keep healthy. They are very versatile.
Fortunately, he brought a lot of talismans. This place is too big. It might have been used as a supermarket. Most of the first floor is connected, so one talisman is not enough.
Shi Changxuan and the Taoist priests of Taihe Temple drew their swords and fought the zombies. Oliver Xie pasted talismans everywhere, but there were still a few missing. In a hurry, he simply took out the remaining cinnabar and dipped his fingers in it to write on the wall.
The decoration here was not finished yet, and there were several windows that were not sealed. Oliver Xie was writing talismans with his back turned when he heard the Taoist priest from Taihe Temple shouting "Be careful!". Yin energy was approaching from behind, so he quickly turned around and raised his sword to block it.
A green shadow came crashing over and pressed hard on Oliver Xie's three swords. With a scream, the figure disappeared. This was the only evil ghost that had escaped back to the ghost-raising jar.
Oliver Xie felt a shock and fell backwards, with half of his body falling out of the window. He thought it was over, and he would go to the hospital to keep the Taoist priest company.
But at this moment, a force supported Oliver Xie's back and pushed him up!
Oliver Xie was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was the ghost who had led him to jump off the building before. He was now clinging to the windowsill, looking at him tremblingly. Because of the force he had just applied, his figure seemed to be a little dim.
"Thank you!" Oliver Xie quickly finished the talisman. Now he saw that Shi Changxuan and the other two were still in a stalemate with the zombies.
The walking corpse was extremely strong. With one hand, he grabbed the Taoist priest of Taihe Temple's arm, leaving several bloody holes. His other hand was held by Shi Changxuan, and the peach wood sword was against his waist, but he could not move forward at all.
Oliver Xie rushed over, hugged the zombie's neck with one hand, pulled him back, and stabbed at him with his three swords. Although they were clearly wooden swords, they sank deeply into his vest.
The walking corpse roared and let go of Shi Changxuan and the Taoist priest from Taihe Temple.
After Shi Changxuan withdrew his hand, he immediately swung his sword across the waist of the corpse like flowing water, and the tip of the sword popped out from the other end!
A large amount of evil energy emanated from the corpse's mouth, and it completely lost its original strength and fell backwards.
The three of them gasped for breath, and the only sounds in the room were the ghosts' mournful cries as they were suppressed by the talisman.
...
The reinforcements from Taihe Temple finally arrived. A dozen Taoist priests came in, some helping the wounded, some clearing up the bodies, and one of the Taoist priests who had been grabbed by a zombie and had several bloody holes on his hand, was being drained of the poison.
This Taoist priest of Taihe Temple is called Mao Zhengqing. He is one of the members of the Taihe Temple Management Committee. It can be understood using an older concept, which is equivalent to the elder of some martial arts sect.
While using glutinous rice to remove the poison, he thanked Shi Changxuan and Oliver Xie again and again. If Oliver Xie hadn't come to help, Shi Changxuan might have been seriously injured from drawing talismans with blood. Shi Changxuan had been helping them from the very beginning.
Mao Zhengqing thought Oliver Xie didn't know the inside story, and said to him: "That old couple is the 'master's wife', you know?"
Oliver Xie nodded. Shi Niang is another name for a witch. In folk society, regardless of gender, they are all called Shi Niang. They are good at summoning ghosts and chanting spells. But not every Shi Niang is like them, casting evil spells to make money. Many of them cure people's illnesses and ask questions about their ancestors.
"They were the ones who cursed the money that Mr. He picked up last time. They came from other provinces and have done many similar things in Queshan. They have killed several people in order to make money." Mao Zhengqing explained, "The curse was broken by Taoist Shi, and the old man suffered the backlash. We realized that there was another person, so we found here."
He omitted the fact that Master Chen failed to break the curse and got into trouble. Oliver Xie did not reveal it either, and said with emotion: "So that's how it is. Look, I didn't hit the wrong person with that brick."
Mao Zhengqing: ...
To be honest, the young man's boldness in using the talisman and his brutality left a deep impression on him. They both seemed to be good at using talismans, but this young man and Taoist Shi had completely different styles of doing things!
Although Mao Zhengqing had some ideas in his mind, he was so overwhelmed that he didn't say anything.
Oliver Xie seemed unaware, and after Mao Zhengqing left, he quietly asked Shi Changxuan: "Is Master Chen all right?"
Shi Changxuan shook his head, paused for a moment and said, "Thank you very much."
Oliver Xie waved his hand: "What are you thanking me for? I saw injustice and helped it!"
After saying this, he noticed that Shi Changxuan was staring at the sword in his hand, so he changed his words and said, "Draw your sword to help me, draw your sword to help me."
His fingers were very slender and white. When he held the hilt of the sword, they looked like jade in the moonlight, with a sense of transparency. But just now upstairs, when he pointed the talisman with the sword, he was very neat and decisive. A closer look revealed that there was bright red cinnabar on his fingertips, the same as the cinnabar between his eyebrows...
Shi Changxuan lowered his eyes and looked at it for a long time before retracting his gaze: "...Thanks anyway."
Oliver Xie was stared at and inexplicably wanted to retract his hand. He laughed dryly and said, "Haha, you're really welcome."
