Chapter 6 [Genre: Human-faced, Two-legged Goat]
That simple "thank you" sent a chill down Lu Yuan's spine!
He turned around abruptly!
Behind him, all was empty except for that solitary grave.
Before the grave, the three sticks of Jade Emperor's Heavenly Incense that I had just lit emitted wisps of smoke, mingling with a dozen or so ordinary incense sticks, giving off a unique fragrance.
"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"
Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan's faces were filled with bewilderment.
Lu Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his voice, each word tinged with seriousness:
"Did you hear anything just now?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
"Wha...what's that noise?"
hiss--
A chill crept up Lu Yuan's spine.
My scalp tingled.
To be honest, since he transmigrated and was bound to this [Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil] system, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
The system does not identify all ghosts.
Its principle is simple: only issue warnings to anything that could threaten Lu Yuan.
As for a Taoist like Lu Yuan, who is about to reach the level of a Celestial Master, many ghosts and monsters will no longer pose any danger to him.
Therefore, many wandering ghosts will not be identified by the [Slay Demons and Exorcise Monsters] system.
But as mentioned earlier, although the [Slaying Demons and Exorcising Monsters] system won't indicate it, don't forget that Lu Yuan is a legitimate Taoist priest with extremely high talent!
Even if these wandering ghosts are not identified by the [Exorcising Demons] system, they will still be detected by Lu Yuan's skills as a Taoist!
It can be said that since he transmigrated and acquired the [Demon Slayer] system, there has been no ghost or monster that Lu Yuan has failed to discover!
And now...
Holy crap?!
Just now—no, not just now, even now—Lu Yuan hadn't noticed!
this?!!
The lonely grave was surrounded by cleanliness, with no signs whatsoever.
As a Taoist priest, Lu Yuan did not sense any ghostly scent.
His own intuition was like a stagnant pool, without the slightest ripple.
this??!
Did I...did I hear wrong?
Impossible! The voice was so clear, it was like a whisper right next to your ear.
Seeing that Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan were also starting to feel uneasy about his reaction, Lu Yuan knew he couldn't let things continue like this.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
Whatever it is.
At least the other person said "thank you," and there was no ill intent on their part.
The good deeds I performed also comforted the souls of the departed.
As the saying goes, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's tense muscles relaxed, and he waved to the two of them, pretending to be relaxed as he said:
"It's nothing, it was probably just a rumor, you misheard it."
"Let's go, let's do a final check on the ritual implements and get ready to begin."
With Lu Yuan, their pillar of support, back to normal, Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In their hearts, as long as Brother Lu says he's alright, then it's alright even if the sky falls.
Time passed by, second by second.
The three sat cross-legged, adjusting their energy and spirit to their peak.
As night deepened, the mountain wind howled, and all was quiet.
The lights in Ningyuan Town at the foot of the mountain went out one by one, leaving only a few scattered lights.
The campfire had long since turned into a pile of still-warm ashes.
Boom!
A dull thud suddenly came from underground.
It looked like someone was inside a coffin, banging their head against the coffin lid.
Lu Yuan and the other two opened their eyes at the same time, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.
"Light up!"
Before the words were even finished, the three of them sprang up like cats.
Holding a peach wood sword, Lu Yuan lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body rising high, and he landed steadily on Old Master Xu's tombstone, looking down from above.
Boom!
Another loud bang.
Xu Erxiao quickly lit a Kongming lantern, but the lantern did not drift far away. Instead, it hovered quietly in the air above the three of them, casting an orange halo.
Boom!
With the third sound, the earthen mound on the grave visibly loosened and fell down.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sounds of impact grew more rapid and louder!
The grave even emitted the zombie's distinctive roar, like a broken bellows.
Lu Yuan stood on the tombstone, his expression solemn, his eyes devoid of any emotion, simply watching the "true owner" about to emerge from the ground.
at last.
10:15.
A deafening roar followed!
boom!
The grave was blown open!
An old zombie dressed in a burial shroud, with bluish-black fingernails and its arms stiffly outstretched, suddenly leaped out of the grave!
The instant it appeared, Lu Yuan brought two fingers together and, with lightning speed, touched his forehead.
The truth burst forth from his mouth:
"Imperial Edict!!"
As soon as he uttered the word, the pupil of his right eye and the peach wood sword in his hand were instantly enveloped in a layer of brilliant orange-red flames!
Lu Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword towards the old zombie!
call out!
An orange-flame decree, like a red-hot iron nail, was driven deep into the zombie's brow!
"roar--!"
Old Master Xu let out a piercing scream as his body was slammed back into the grave by a tremendous force.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan, holding a peach wood sword burning with orange flames, leaped into the grave pit!
Xu Erxiao, who was already prepared, roared and threw out a huge fishing net stained with chicken blood and hung with a copper bell!
The large net drew a perfect arc in the air, precisely covering the entire grave mound.
At the same time, Wang Chengan leaped onto the tombstone and took Lu Yuan's place.
He held a palm-sized golden bell in his left hand, made a hand seal with his right hand, and unleashed a torrent of incantations from his mouth!
Ding ding ding ding!!
He frantically shook the golden bell in his hand, instantly activating the large fishing net and all the small bells arranged around it.
They all lit up with a dazzling orange-red light and emitted a rapid, piercing sound!
The sound of bells and incantations intertwine to form an invisible net.
About seven or eight minutes later.
The ringing and the incantation stopped abruptly.
Xu Erxiao let out a low roar, his arm muscles bulged, and he suddenly ripped open the large net!
Lu Yuan leaped out of the pit.
He flicked the sticky, dark red blood off his sword and dusted off the dirt on his clothes with a graceful and unrestrained movement.
"Second Brother, turn off the lights and pack up your things."
"Cheng'an, go down the mountain and settle the bill with the owner."
The instructions were clear and concise.
"Okay~"
The two readily agreed and immediately got to work.
Xu Erxiao quickly packed up the ritual implements, while Wang Chengan darted down the mountain like a rabbit.
Lu Yuan took out the old brass pocket watch from his pocket, opened the cover and took a look.
10:23.
Excluding waiting time, taking down this three-star zombie takes a total of eight minutes.
Not bad, your skills have improved again.
"Brother Lu, what are we going to eat later?"
While struggling to drag the fishing net, Xu Erxiao swallowed hard and asked.
have to.
I'm hungry again.
But I must say, being out here in this cold weather, I really crave another big bowl of mutton soup.
"After we collect the money from the employer, let's go to town and see what we can find to eat."
Lu Yuan carefully placed the old pocket watch into his pocket and said casually.
Xu Erxiao grinned and chuckled:
"I want to eat wontons~"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but grin and say:
"become!"
As Lu Yuan spoke, he walked towards the highest point of the mountain.
Subconsciously, I wanted to check on the situation on Zhao Qiao'er's hilltop.
Upon reaching the highest point of the mountain and seeing the situation there, Lu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!
Do not……
no??!!
A terrifying, blood-red symbol was flashing wildly, catching Lu Yuan's eye.
