Chapter 70 Fools are sometimes lucky!
Lu Yuan stood on a high hill on the north bank of the old river bend.
He held a century-old bronze feng shui compass in his hand.
On the celestial pool of the compass, the magnetic needle trembled incessantly.
When the pointer swept across that bend in the river, it began to slowly rotate counterclockwise.
Yin energy flows back, and evil spirits rush towards the Big Dipper.
This is an ominous sign.
"Brother Lu, you have connections!"
Xu Erxiao, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the throng of people gathering at the corner of the old river bend.
"Shall we wait until everyone leaves before we start?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and looked into the distance in the cool moonlight.
The next moment, Lu Yuan had a bad feeling!
My own senior master, Crane-Patrol Celestial Venerable, has arrived!
The reason why Lu Yuan could recognize him at a glance was quite simple.
That extremely high-class purple-gold carriage was something only the likes of the Celestial Venerable and the Grand Celestial Master were worthy of using throughout the entire Taoist sect.
Of course, most importantly...
Lu Yuan saw it that night when he returned to Zhenlong Temple!
That carriage was right outside the gate of Zhenlong Temple at the time!
Who else could it be but his own senior martial brother?
"Get your weapons ready first."
Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.
After saying that, Lu Yuan put away the compass and walked quickly toward Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable.
This place, which nurtures evil spirits, has been cultivated by the Wang family for thirty years!
If you want to break through it, you have to do it step by step, following the steps.
Of course, if one wants to break through with overwhelming force using the Celestial Master's methods, that is also possible, but naturally there will be a price to pay.
But Lu Yuan not only needs to eliminate this one breeding ground for evil spirits, there are more than a dozen more to come.
It's impossible for them to use their full strength right here!
If I get injured, will I still be able to get proper treatment later?
You have to understand that the window of opportunity for the Celestial Master Ceremony is only two months, so there can't be any mishaps.
Lu Yuan wanted to proceed step by step, but his senior brother obviously didn't need to.
Not to mention his own senior uncle, even the people who accompanied him could easily break through the Nourishing Fiend Ground.
After all, they don't face any further risks.
Lu Yuan needs to find out the details.
If his senior brother was going the same way, then everything would be fine.
If he also came for this place to nurture evil spirits...
Then there's nothing that can be done.
It's just that Lu Yuan was unlucky!
Just turn around and leave, and head to the next place to nurture evil spirits!
Lu Yuan walked quickly and arrived in front of the group of people in just two minutes.
Lu Yuan didn't waste any time and immediately cupped his hands in greeting:
"Disciple Lu Yuan greets Heavenly Venerable Crane Patrol."
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable sat regally inside, exuding an air of authority.
"Um……"
He stroked his beard, about to speak.
Lu Yuan, however, got straight to the point, leaving no room for suspense:
"This disciple has come to break the cursed land of the King of Destiny. May I ask, Heavenly Venerable, is this also the reason for your visit?"
There's nothing to hide.
With the destruction of the "Book of Evil Spirits," these places for nurturing evil spirits, while not collapsing directly like the temporary places for nurturing evil spirits in Fengtian City, have still shown signs of loosening.
If his senior uncle couldn't sense it at such a close distance, then the title "Celestial Venerable" would be a joke.
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable did not answer directly. He flicked his whisk, raised an eyebrow, and asked in return:
"How do you know there's a place here to nurture evil spirits?"
"Did your master tell you that?"
Lu Yuan bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"Just as the Heavenly Venerable knows, so too does this disciple know."
Lu Yuan remained neither humble nor arrogant, revealing not a word of it.
Looking at Lu Yuan's current appearance and hearing what he said...
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable clicked his tongue.
But suddenly, I started cursing in my mind.
Where did that arrogant idiot find such a well-behaved disciple?
It's true what they say, idiots are lucky!
Lu Yuan had no idea what the Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was thinking, but he was wondering if he had asked the wrong question.
They've brought their whole group here; they can't possibly be here for a picnic, can they?
They must know how to cultivate a treacherous place.
Since they know this, how could they not take action?
If this Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable were truly my good senior uncle, then so be it.
Maybe I can give it to myself.
But Lu Yuan knew perfectly well what relationship this Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable had with his old man.
It would be strange if they gave it to them!
Coming to his senses, Lu Yuan immediately cupped his hands and said:
"In the fight against demons and monsters, there is no order of arrival. Now that the Heavenly Venerable has arrived, this disciple dares not act rashly."
"Your Majesty, please go ahead. My two junior brothers and I will proceed as follows..."
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable waved his hand, interrupting him.
"As the Celestial Venerable, how can I steal credit from a junior like you?"
He then changed the subject.
"However, you are right about one thing: when it comes to slaying demons, there is no first come, first served."
"In that case, let my disciple Song Yan lead three people to break the curse, and let us all have a real contest of skills. Do you mind?"
As I've said before, when performing rituals, the biggest taboo is interfering with each other in the same place, as this can easily cause the energy to clash.
But now that the Heavenly Venerable Crane Patrol is willing to give it up, we definitely have to seize this opportunity!
It's better than making a wasted trip and losing a precious burial site.
Moreover, if it were Song Yanlai who were to perform the ritual...
Those two are in conflict...
I could wash his asshole raw!
Lu Yuan's mind raced, but without the slightest hesitation, he immediately cupped his hands in acceptance!
Then, he bowed again, turned around and left without any hesitation!
Crane Celestial Venerable sat in the car, lifted the curtain, and followed Lu Yuan's back with his gaze.
Tsk tsk tsk!
decent!
That's fucking impressive!
He stared at that figure for a long time before reluctantly lowering the curtains and turning to look in the other direction.
What are you still standing there for?
"Hurry up!"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable stared at Song Yan, blowing his beard and glaring.
Just thinking about what happened makes Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable so angry!!
Dog day!
He was, after all, one of the Seven Heavenly Venerables.
Tianlong Temple is the leading Taoist sect outside the Great Wall.
How could you raise such a worthless idiot who only has despicable thoughts!
At this moment, Song Yan, with half of his face swollen, quickly replied:
"yes!"
……
……
"Second Little One, test the water!"
Lu Yuan, who had returned quickly, started shouting from a distance.
Since it's about a competition...
It's all about speed!
Whoever wins first will naturally get the credit!
There's absolutely no time to waste!
Xu Erxiao immediately stepped forward and took out three items from his backpack.
A hollow old bamboo tube, a packet of finely ground Chenzhou cinnabar, and seven Tiansheng Yuanbao coins.
He dipped the bamboo tube into the river, filled it, placed it on the riverbank, and slowly sprinkled cinnabar into it.
Strange things happened.
The cinnabar did not sink when it entered the water; instead, it gathered on the surface to form seven small eddies, with a copper coin floating in the center of each eddy.
This is the manifestation of "Seven Corpses Guarding the Position".
"Brother Lu, the yin energy underwater has formed the 'Seven Star Soul-Locking Array'."
Wang Chengan squatted to the side, using a willow branch dipped in rooster blood to draw the terrain of the river bend on the mudflat.
At this moment, Lu Yuan had already jogged back, looked at everything in front of him, nodded, and said coldly:
"This uses the power of the celestial stars to lock down the earth's soul; it's quite vicious."
Then Lu Yuan took out the "Nourishing Evil Diagram" from his pocket.
The map shows that on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month thirty years ago, the day of the Kitchen God Festival, the Wang family chartered a ferry to "deliver New Year's goods".
In reality, they tricked seven laborers, all born under the yin element, onto the boat and then dug it out in the middle of the river.
The body was chained up with iron chains that had been soaked in black dog blood for three years and then exposed to the sun for three years.
The black dog was used to exorcise evil spirits, but after being repeatedly tempered and refined, its yin and yang were reversed, turning it into a soul-locking evil creature.
Compared to Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's side, Lu Yuan has a natural advantage here.
That is because Lu Yuan possesses the Yang Sha Diagram, which allows him to know the situation here first.
Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say it has a huge advantage.
The records on this "Nurturing Evil Diagram" are not from humankind; they were created by the Wang family themselves. Lu Yuan learned them from that hunchbacked old man.
It's hard to say whether the hunchbacked old man was lying to him or setting a trap for him.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, we should start with the first step of investigation; not a single step can be omitted.
However, even a small advantage is still an advantage.
Lu Yuan carefully put away the map. Before taking action, he subconsciously looked back at the distant riverbank, wanting to see Song Yan's progress.
result……
What about people?
The riverbank was empty, but those few people were still wandering around on the river embankment.
Lu Yuan frowned, too lazy to care anymore.
Break the evil!
Meanwhile, on the riverbank, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable looked at his disciple, who was frantically preparing magical artifacts, with a look of disdain.
He finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable got out of the car, put his hands behind his back, and strolled leisurely toward Lu Yuan and the other two.
He wanted to see for himself what this kid was all about.
At this moment, nine pits have been dug out on the riverbank where Lu Yuan is located, according to the nine palaces orientation.
Xu Erxiao took out nine jujube wood nails from the box, the nails covered with natural lightning strike patterns.
Lu Yuan changed into a set of indigo coarse cloth water jacket that was easy to move in, with a red rope tied around his waist, on which were seven blessed five-emperor coins.
He walked to the first pit, Kan Palace, due north.
Take out a white porcelain bowl, which contains the heart blood of an old rooster with black feathers and a red crest that has been crowing for more than five years.
"A single nail is used to suppress the Kan position, cutting off the Northern Dark Water!"
Lu Yuan poured the chicken blood into the bottom of the pit, personally inserted the first jujube wood nail vertically into the soil, and swung the iron hammer with the peach wood handle, striking it nine times in a row!
Each hammer blow was accompanied by a deep, resounding shout!
"Nine, Palace, Town, Position, Earth, Pulse, Temporary, Condensation, Settlement!"
it is good!
That's fucking awesome!!
That's what you call a disciple of a celestial being!
Just putting it here makes it look so much better!
I'm so envious!!
How could such a disciple have gotten so good luck with that arrogant fool?!
Fuck him!
That slovenly old man, how did his mother raise him?!
This is infuriating!!
At some point, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable had arrived on the high riverbank behind Lu Yuan and the other two, looking down at them with his hands behind his back.
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable had no expression on his face.
But I was already cursing them out in my heart!
