casket of old days

Chapter 495 And the Voice of God

The fox ghost let out a scream, greedily absorbing the power of life and blood.

The ghost's body continued to expand as if it was filled with air, and it completely wrapped Chu Qiguang's body in a blink of an eye.

The Taoist priest who watched this scene was shocked and said: "Which god of war is this? Feeding blood to the fox ghost like this? It's too messy!"

The Taoist knows that the fox ghost comes after the death of the fox demon, and has a more terrifying ability to absorb energy and blood than the fox demon.

But the next moment, the Taoist said in surprise: "Has the fox ghost been fed?"

At this moment, the fox ghost seemed to be a mosquito that had sucked a big bag of blood. It swayed its huge belly and fell to the ground, receding like a gust of wind.

The Taoist priest looked at Chu Qiguang again, only to find that the flames on the opponent's body hadn't diminished in the slightest, and the whole person seemed to be in high spirits, and his energy and blood were as strong as they were at their peak.

'Is that all right?How thick is this person's blood? '

Chu Qiguang's qi and blood power is naturally extremely profound, no matter it is the advantages brought by the "Sumi Mountain King Sutra" in terms of physical body and qi and blood.

It's also the God of Fire Hair, Phoenix Blood Marrow, Qilin Horn, Luofu Magic Talisman contained in his body... all of which make his Qi and blood far surpass those of the same level.

At this moment, amidst the blazing flames, his physical strength, qi and blood are constantly recovering.

Glancing at the place where the fox ghost disappeared, Chu Qiguang said: "After the fox ghost is temporarily full, it will stop for a while. We need to take advantage of this time to save him."

"Do you have any clues? As long as the fox ghost finds the corpse, it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of it."

The Taoist swallowed his saliva. Although the other party looked young, the strength he showed was extraordinary, so he had to treat it seriously.

"This fox ghost has a lot of grievances. I heard that before I came, he had sucked out the energy of several villagers, almost turning them into mummified corpses."

"Resentment?" Chu Qiguang touched his chin, suddenly looked at the villagers who came out of the darkness holding torches, and said lightly: "Then ask them."

The Taoist also looked at these villagers, so he asked about the fox ghost.

The Taoist priest answered was a village chief who was over half a century old, and his old face was gloomy under the light of the fire.

He said hoarsely: "We don't know where this fox ghost came from. We only know that it started haunting the village a month ago, and more than ten men have been killed by him."

Speaking of which, the head of the village and several women knelt down on the ground and begged: "Please also ask the two of you to get rid of this evildoer for our Zhangzhuang. When I have chickens and ducks, I would like to offer them all."

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, get up quickly." The Taoist immediately lifted them up and asked carefully: "Tell me about the fox ghost, and who was the first victim and where... ..."

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly at the side, and asking about the first crime scene really helped to understand how the fox ghost appeared.

The villagers spoke out in a few words, most of them were weak in expression, and they were not clear about numbers and time. Chu Qiguang sorted it out in his mind a little before he outlined the general process of the situation.

The first victim, discovered about a month ago, was a village hunter named Zhang Shi.

The other party often hunts foxes from the nearby mountains, and the fur of foxes is still valuable. He takes them into the city to sell, and lives a good life. His family is considered wealthy in this village.

However, this person has an ugly face and has always been a loner, and he is not very familiar with other people in the village.

That day he suddenly caught a fox from the mountains and took it home. At first, the villagers thought he wanted to sell the live fox to the city, after all, the live fox was more valuable.

It turned out that Zhang Shi kept the fox at home all the time, and he seemed more and more tired every day.

All kinds of gossip gradually spread in the village.

Said that the fox was a fox demon, and after seducing Zhang Shi, he sucked Zhang Shi's energy every day.

As a result, they did not see Zhang Shi go out for several days. The villagers told the head of the village. It is said that the head of the village found him lying on the bed with a haggard appearance, and he had already passed away.

Since then, fox ghosts have attacked villagers at night again and again...

Chu Qiguang and the Taoist immediately found Zhang Shi's residence, and sure enough, they found hunting bows, animal traps, several hung up fox skins, and various animal bones...

The Taoist took the Kaimu Wan and Kaibi Wan, and after searching in the house, he found a somewhat damaged iron cage and twirled a few fox furs on it.

He said with some doubts: "Could it be that this hunter caught the fox demon?"

The Taoist opened the hunter's cabinet and found some sweat medicine from it.

Then he found the rotten meatball from the kitchen. After smelling it for a while, he put down the meatball and judged, "It's drugged."

In addition, he found fox fur and smelled foxes in many places in the room.

The Taoist analyzed: "It seems that Zhang Shi fainted the fox demon with medicine, and even captured it and raised it in his own home. I'm afraid he killed the fox demon in the end, so that the fox demon had a chance to become a fox ghost."

"But these skins don't belong to that fox ghost, they are just ordinary foxes."

He glanced around again, shook his head and said: "But if this is the case, where is the skeleton of the fox demon? Where is Zhang Shi buried?"

Most of the ghosts' salvation has a huge relationship with the bones, and finding the bones of the ghosts before they were alive is a very important part of the salvation.

Chu Qiguang's eyes swept over the edge of a brick with wear marks.

A line of words jumped out of the seeker's eyes: 'Bricks that are often turned over. '

Chu Qiguang slapped it with a palm, and turned over the bricks directly, and saw that there was a strange book hidden in it, which said "Feng Shui Art of Beasts".

Another line of writing jumped out of the seeker's eyes.

""Feng Shui of Beasts"."

"The architectural book passed down from the ancient dragon."

"It records the method of changing Feng Shui with bones."

"Dragon is the first race to build houses."

"Legends say that the first houses were built from the bones of giant beasts."

"The dragon comprehended part of the mysteries of Gemyu from it, and it became one of the foundations for ruling the world in the future."

"But since ancient times, if you change your life, you will be punished by the heavens. This is the case with the dragon race, the human race, and us..."

Seeing this, Chu Qiguang's heart moved slightly: "Could it be the inheritance that was left behind in the Central Plains when the Dragon Clan swept the world?" '

He opened this feng shui book and saw all kinds of multi-children, multi-blessing, long-lived and golden-million-two bureaus... and these feng shui bureaus all need to use the bones of animals, preferably monsters. Finish.

The Taoist also raised his eyes and looked up: "This is troublesome. I don't know where Zhang Shi picked up this Fengshui book. I am afraid that after hunting, he used the bones of his prey to arrange Fengshui."

Chu Qiguang flipped through it and found that there are no less than ten kinds of feng shui bureaus involving foxes and fox demons. Almost all of them require dismembering foxes and filling them in different positions, and they also need to cooperate with the five elements, solar terms, and terrain.

At this moment, another ear-piercing scream sounded in the night sky.

The Taoist priest's face suddenly changed: "So soon? That fox ghost is coming again?"

Chu Qiguang ignited a flame at his fingertips: "Back off."

The Taoist asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "I don't have so much time to find out where he hid the bones, so I just burned them all in one go."

The next moment, the flames burst from Chu Qiguang's body.

The Taoist retreated violently with his disciples. Seeing the whole house was engulfed in flames, he had a wry smile on his face: "This..."

The other onlookers looked at this scene with shock, fear, and fear on their faces. It was obvious that Chu Qiguang was no longer a human being in their eyes.

The entire house was reduced to ashes in the blazing flames.

Even the strong wind blew three feet below the ground, and even the whole earth was burned into a piece of scorched earth.

After a while, the flames dissipated, and Chu Qiguang walked out slowly. The ground behind him was full of complicated formations. Obviously, he had just completed the ceremony of transcendence in the sea of ​​flames.

But above the village, the scream of the fox demon sounded again.

The Taoist priest was surprised: "No success?"

Chu Qiguang frowned: "My ritual can't be wrong, it's only possible that the body was not burned clean."

The Taoist asked suspiciously: "But his whole house has been burned, so where will the body of the fox go back?"

Chu Qiguang rubbed his chin, opened "Feng Shui of Beasts" and read it again, finally stared at a map above and said: "I'm afraid Zhang Shi's goal is not just his own house, but the whole Zhangzhuang."

The Taoist priest was shocked again when he heard the words. Looking down, he found that the map that was graffitied on the book seemed to be the topography of Zhangzhuang.

"This... the village is so big, how do you find the skeleton of the fox demon?"

The Taoist frowned and thought hard: "Zhang Shi is so aggressive, the other villagers will not know, they have to ask one by one, brainstorming..."

"And this "Beast Fengshui Technique". If you can figure out what Fengshui bureau Zhang Shibu is working on, it will be much easier to find."

But Chu Qiguang closed the "Beast Fengshui" in his hand, and said casually: "There is no time to play detective games."

He looked at the head of the village and said, "I want your village."

The head of the village panicked when he heard the words: "This...this...my lord, you want our village?"

The other people also panicked, thinking that Chu Qiguang was going to oppress them like those yamen servants.

But seeing Chu Qiguang's palms together, a golden door has opened behind him.

"then."

He casually threw "Beast Feng Shui Technique" into it, and then said, "Bring 5000 taels here."

A white, tender and slender palm stretched out, with a 5000 tael silver note on it, it was the hand of the eagle demon Jozna.

Chu Qiguang casually tossed the bank note to the head of the village: "I bought your village. This is for your settlement expenses. I will send people to help you move later. You can go to Lingzhou to farm in the future."

"Ah?" The village chief looked at this scene in shock, and looked at the bank notes in his hand in disbelief. 5000 taels was enough to buy two Zhangzhuangs.

The other villagers also fell into a stupor for a while, completely unexpected that this kind of thing would happen.

The chief asked again: "You... what are you going to do when you buy our village?"

Flames burned out from Chu Qiguang's body: "Of course they were burned."

A moment later, the Taoist priest, the head of the village and all the villagers stood on the hillside outside the village with their families. They looked at Zhangzhuang, which was burning into the sky with complicated expressions, and their faces were full of fear and anxiety about the future.

In the next moment, ear-piercing screams resounded through the sky and the earth, and the weird, weird, heart-scratching screams continued to come from the flames.

In the loud rumbling sound, the wind helps the fire, and the fire helps the wind rise.

The burning of the entire village greatly intensified the power of Chu Qiguang's flaming aura.

I saw the flame gangster turned into a huge spiral, piercing into the sky like a tornado.

A distorted fox face can be vaguely seen emerging from it.

When it was daylight, the flames had completely dissipated, and the fox ghost's voice never sounded again.

Standing in front of the scorched earth, the Taoist priest could see that the original Zhangzhuang had completely disappeared from the land.

As far as the eye can see, the scorched earth is engraved with dense arrays arranged in rows, which seem to be able to extend to the end of human eyesight.

The Taoist gasped: "He engraved the diagram of Chaodu all over the entire village?" '

……

On the other side, Chu Qiguang stood in the center of the scorched earth, absorbing a surge of ghost power.

At the same time, the fox demon's memory was churning in his mind, but the other party's memory was fragmented and messed up, as if it hadn't been sorted out rationally.

There are scenes of struggling and surviving in the mountains when I was a child.

There are pictures of hunters feeding her food and stroking her head.

A picture of a hunter taking her home and teaching her human knowledge.

"Son, I am your father, and we are the innate species among fox demons."

"We can live in the human world without drinking blood like your brothers and sisters."

"Don't move your claws, let alone bite, this is the first thing you have to learn."

Chu Qiguang didn't care much about the fox demon's memory at first, but after flipping through it casually, he was slightly taken aback: "Is this fox demon Zhang Shi's daughter? Zhang Shi is a congenital fox demon?"

It is by virtue of his identity as a fox demon that Zhang Shi can often capture foxes and other animals and live a good life.

He continued to read, and found that the fox demon didn't understand Zhang Shi's control, let alone the father-daughter relationship like humans.

On the contrary, in the eyes of this little fox demon, every time Zhang Shi hunted and killed animals, even the scenes of disemboweling, disemboweling, and skinning all kinds of animals, including foxes, brought great fear to the little fox demon. So kill her.

So the little fox found an opportunity to sneak attack Zhang Shi, and the pitchfork pierced deeply into Zhang Shi's vest.

Zhang Shi fell in the room, but did not die completely.

Seeing the little fox demon instinctively absorbing his energy, maybe it was because he was powerless to resist, or maybe he knew he was going to die anyway...

In short, through the memory of the little fox demon's perspective, Chu Qiguang could only see that the other party did not resist and let the fox demon swallow all his energy.

"The fox demon has already killed Zhang Shi, so why is she dismembered and scattered around the village to become part of the Feng Shui Bureau?"

Just after this question popped up in Chu Qiguang's heart, the turbulent memory flooded with blood.

A figure sprang out from behind the fox demon who devoured Zhang Shijing's energy, grabbed the fox demon, and put her in a cage.

The figure rummaged around in the house, as if looking for something.

"Where did you hide it?"

"How should the Feng Shui Bureau be arranged next?"

"I can't help it... I can only follow what Zhang Shi said last time."

The figure turned around and looked at the fox demon in the cage.

Then severe pain, resentment, and anger kept pouring into Chu Qiguang's mind.

He immediately suppressed this churning memory: "So that's how it is. No wonder Zhang Shi wants to spread Fengshui bureaus all over the village. He is working with others to make bureaus."

……

On the hillside, looking at the village that had been reduced to ashes, Li Chang showed complicated emotions on his face.

Zhangzhuang's geographical location is very poor, neither a transportation hub nor fertile land, and it has been exhausting to support his family all the time.

But not long ago, the court imposed additional taxes.

The life of the villagers became more and more difficult, and more and more villagers began to escape.

After Li Zhang accidentally discovered Zhang Shi's secret, he planned to use Feng Shui to change the luck of the entire Zhangzhuang under the advice of the other party.

After that, the two discussed again and again. Zhang Shi looked for opportunities to arrange the Fengshui bureau every night, and the chief of the village covered him.

After Zhang Shi died, he still continued to work according to the plan discussed by the two parties.

But now looking at the village that has been wiped out, and the 5000 taels of silver in his hand, the village chief doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, a success or a failure.

A wave of restlessness surged back and forth in his body, making him feel as if his flesh was twisting violently.

The feng shui knowledge that Zhang Shi dictated to him was like a magic sound pouring into his ears, and violently churned in his mind again.

"You are possessed."

The chief suddenly raised his head, and saw Chu Qiguang standing in front of him with fluttering hair, his eyes were shining like the sun, and he was looking at him intently.

"Enchanted?"

Li Chang looked down at his hands and found that they were already covered with dirty and smelly mucus. When he looked up, he found that the surrounding villagers kept backing away and looked at him in horror.

He recalled that he colluded with demons, learned evil knowledge, and performed dark rituals...everything was so deviant and violated the belief, and in the end it was just like the stories told by the Taoist priests taught by the Heavenly Master. Also bewitched.

The next moment, the fire came from Chu Qiguang's hands, which directly extinguished Li Chang's vitality and burned the bank note in his hand to ashes.

After casually throwing it into the gate of the Buddha Realm, Chu Qiguang took another 5000 taels of silver bills from it and threw it to the villagers.

"Divide the settling expenses well. Someone from the chamber of commerce should come to settle you tomorrow..."

As the flames dissipated, Chu Qiguang turned around and stepped into the gate of the Buddhist realm, leaving behind the villagers who kowtowed all over the place.

……

After returning to Yaoyin Village, Chu Qiguang once again picked up the Ten Thousand Ghost Records and started enlightening.

'Counting the ghost power I collected recently, I should be able to reach the fourth chapter of "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" this time. '

Through the various rituals unique to "Wan Gui Lu" to transcend ghosts, you can gain ghost power in the process of transcending.

This process requires confronting the power of demons and bearing the memory impact of ghosts. Most practitioners will become lunatics during this process.

And with the time after time of transcendence, the next chapter can only be learned after the ghost power has been improved.

Every time you learn a chapter, you can transcend more powerful ghosts and refine more ghost power.

After finishing the five chapters, it is considered to have penetrated the power of "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" and obtained the ability to control ghosts.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang once again entered the ghost realm of "Ten Thousand Ghost Records" and found the ghost who claimed to be Yu Li.

"Hey, I should be good enough to learn the fourth chapter now, right?"

Yu Li held his chin, looked down at Chu Qiguang, and said in his heart: "This kid... the speed of cultivation is simply outrageous." '

'Is it a reincarnation?Not quite. '

'In this way, maybe it can be used to deal with that old ghost...'

Yu Li didn't speak, but just pointed out, the memory of the fourth chapter of "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" had surged into Chu Qiguang's mind.

Seeing how Chu Qiguang was absorbing knowledge, Yu Kai smiled and said, "Isn't it convenient to find a ghost?"

While flipping through the raging memories in his mind, Chu Qiguang looked up at Yu Li and asked, "It's really not easy to save the souls of the dead. Even with my wealth and strength, it took me a few months to reach the current level."

"I'm afraid it will take half a year to enter the Tao."

Yu Li: "..."

Chu Qiguang then asked: "What I'm more curious about is how Zhao Changsheng practiced "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts"? When he practiced "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts", he hadn't reached the realm of Taoism, right?"

Zhao Changsheng is now one of the Zhenmagic Envoys of the Zhenmagic Division, the helm of the psychic school, and the only person in the imperial court who has stepped into the Tao with "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

Yu Li casually said, "Xiao Zhao? Hey, he was fed by the previous emperor of the Han Dynasty one bite at a time. At that time, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty personally took him to catch ghosts."

Chu Qiguang was surprised and said: "The last emperor? Shenzong? He went to catch ghosts himself?"

Yu Li said: "That guy is considered an interesting emperor, but it's a pity he died too early, otherwise it wouldn't be the turn of that brat, Yong'an, to take over."

He then smiled and said, "Finding a powerful ghost is not easy. If you continue to comprehend "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" by saving some lonely and wild ghosts, it may take 20 years to learn the last chapter. "

"Shall I tell you the location of a powerful ghost?"

Chu Qiguang also laughed: "You want to tell me so actively, is this ghost your enemy?"

Yu Li seemed to think about it for a while, and said lightly: "It's not really the right one, do you want to know?"

Chu Qiguang replied: "You can tell, but I don't have to go."

Yu Li smiled slightly: "Do you know who is the first person in this world to ascend to the upper realm?"

……

In the 18th year of Yong'an, at the beginning of December.

On the Daxue Mountain, snowflakes fell on the ground one after another.

The mountains in the distance are majestic and exquisite.

The mountains are surrounded by layers of clouds and mist, sometimes the clouds are transpiring, and sometimes the sky is as blue as water.

Standing on a cliff, Zhang Xinhui could only see his figure flickering, his palms were full of energy, and he was performing a boxing technique.

With every punch he punched, there seemed to be a faint dragon chant in the air.

This is the "Dragon Fist" he learned after communicating with the demon monk Yi Siman these days.

This entry-level rectification method, like his "Book of Human Beings", belongs to the inheritance and rectification method of the Emperor Tiandao.

After all, since ancient times, dragons have been regarded as the messengers of gods in the emperor's heaven.

However, "Dragon Fist" has been lost in Huang Tiandao since the Central Plains War 200 years ago. Now that Zhang Xinhui has the opportunity to study "Dragon Fist" again, he is ecstatic.

However, after all, he has already become a Taoist immortal with the "Book of Man", so he has no intention of actually practicing "Dragon Fist" to change the shape of the physical body and obtain dragon blood and dragon power.

At present, he is only taking the spirit and temperament of the dragon in this martial art to help him further comprehend the "Book of Man", and even the "Explanation of the Earth" and "Theory of Heaven" above the "Book of Man".

And in this kind of cultivation, he felt that he really benefited a lot.

Now not only has he gained a better understanding of the "Book of Man", Zhang Xinhui even feels that sometimes... he can communicate with the world of heaven in his mind and hear the voice of God.

For example, now, the voice of God appeared in his ears again.
