American Celestial Master

Chapter 1, Monsters
"Daoist, Daoist... Is it suppressed?" Li Weimin only felt his whole body go limp. He supported the wall with his hands and almost collapsed on the ground.

"The ghosts in the United States are still different from those in China. They don't like some of our methods. Fortunately, the formation is still useful. At least for the time being, it is trapped by the formation and cannot get out." Seeing that The monster that looked like a scorched hobbit was trapped in the formation and could only keep spinning in circles. Daoist Lin Qiusheng also heaved a sigh of relief, and regained his calm and clear state. The appearance of a master of Taoism.

"Master, black dog's blood, mahogany sword, bronze mirror, and fire can't put out this monster. What should we do?" Another young man dressed as a Taoist priest asked with his right hand holding a mahogany sword that had been broken in two.

"It doesn't matter." Daoist Lin Qiusheng shook his head, "Whether it is Chinese ghosts or European and American ghosts, they are all afraid of the sun. Ah Feng, there is not much time until dawn, right?"

"Ah, wait a minute, master, let me see..." Ah Feng dropped the half-cut mahogany sword in his hand, took out his mobile phone from his trousers pocket, and began to search for the sunrise time.

"Ah, Master, it is ten past seven, and the sunrise is at 07:30."

"There are still 10 minutes." Lin Qiusheng nodded and said, "Ah Feng, most of the ghosts should not be exposed to the sun. This monster has a very dark air. Look at the places it steps on. Frost has formed. The more it is like this, the more damage the sun will do to it. As soon as the sun comes out and the sun shines on it, it will definitely be wiped out."

"That's good, that's good!" Li Weimin simply sat on the ground, the monster chased after him just now, and the cold air emitted by the monster seemed to be sprayed directly on the back of his neck.The crazy secretion of adrenaline made the obese Li Weimin explode at an astonishing speed at that time, but it also made him paralyzed at this time, and he could hardly lift a finger.

"Ah Feng, the closer it gets to the last moment, the crazier it will be, and the greater the impact it will have on the formation. As a teacher, we need to strengthen the formation to ensure that it cannot escape. You set up the incense table first, and then give it to the formation. Protect the Dharma as a teacher." Lin Qiusheng said while taking out seven small flags from his side, and then stepping on Yu steps, he inserted the seven small flags at hand according to the direction of the Big Dipper.When each small flag is inserted, you can see the light of different colors flashing.After all the seven flags were planted, Lin Qiu let out a sigh of relief.

"Master, the incense table is ready." Ah Feng shouted beside him.

Lin Qiusheng adjusted the Taoist temple on his head, walked to the incense table, first unfolded the portrait of Patriarch Sanmao, and then lit the incense.

At this time, the eastern sky had already begun to turn pale, and it was obvious that the sun was about to come out soon.At this time, the monster obviously sensed this too, and began to rush wildly, but it always turned around unconsciously when it rushed forward. It is impossible to get out of a circle with a diameter of about [-] meters circled by a small flag.Seeing that it couldn't get out of trouble, it raised its head and let out a sharp and mournful howl, like a child crying, which made people feel shaken when they heard it.

Lin Qiusheng lit a talisman on the incense candle and threw it into the air.Then he rang the Dharma bell and recited the mantra of purifying the mind:
"Tai Shang Tai Xing, the strain will not stop.

Drive away evil spirits, protect your life and protect your body.

Wisdom is clear and pure, and the mind is peaceful.

The three souls are eternal, and the soul has no loss. "

Ah Feng stood beside Lin Qiusheng with a Remington shotgun.

Lin Qiusheng's spell suppressed the monster's scream. Now the scream can still be heard, but it no longer has the disturbing power.

"Fat pig, give way." A teenage Caucasian boy pushed Li Weimin, who had just recovered a little strength and slowly climbed up while leaning on the wall, to the side, holding his mobile phone in one hand, facing the chaos in the middle of the venue. Crash and roar monsters.

"My dear friends, do you believe that there are ghosts in the world? Now the mystery has been answered, and the great Stanton is now at the scene of the exorcism ceremony, bringing you the most authentic and most anticipated report! Dear My friends, did you see that monster in the middle of the field? A mysterious alchemist from the east, yes, a magical alchemist, just like Chongyun, except that he can sit there without Chongyun He has the talent of sending out sunlight to destroy ghosts. But he trapped it with a strange spell. It can't go over the circle surrounded by those small flags now. See, is this a real ghost, but today I live broadcast It's reality, not a game, not a game!"

"Christopher, what are you doing?" A girl with a freckled nose came up with a Remington spray gun in her hand.Behind her, several other young men and women followed, panting one by one, with fear and excitement on their faces.

"I'm doing a TikTok live broadcast, I'm going to be an internet celebrity, this video is so cool, don't you think so! My friends, don't you think so?" Christopher Stanton didn't look back, just stared at the phone The screen, watching the number of viewers of his live broadcast, and the audience's reaction.

"Ah, Katie, you hold the phone for me, so I can show myself. Well, hold the gun for me."

So the girl with freckles on her nose called Katie handed him the sprayer in her hand and took his mobile phone.He lowered his head and looked at the content above.

"Katie, first point the camera at the exorcist alchemist. What is he doing?" Christopher yelled at her again.

"Okay." Before Katie had time to take a close-up of Christopher, she first pointed the camera at Lin Qiusheng.

In the darkness and chaos just now, Katie also saw Lin Daochang in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword and a bell in his hand, trying to fight against the monster. Neither was very good, so she couldn't see Lin Qiusheng clearly.Now that there is a street light next to where Lin Qiusheng is standing, he can see clearly.

At this time, Lin Qiusheng changed another Qingfu sword, lit the yellow paper and was doing it in front of the incense table.

"Is this an exorcist alchemist? Doesn't it look like Chongyun at all?" On the screen of the phone, someone asked in subtitles.

"That's right, the clothes don't look the same, and the sword in his hand doesn't look the same either. He actually uses a one-handed sword instead of a two-handed sword!"

"That's not a one-handed sword, that's the Qingfu sword, which is a sword-shaped magic weapon. Yes, that thing is an algorithm, not a one-handed sword. It's like Wendy's bow is actually a magic weapon, not a bow. "

"Nonsense, Wendy can level A. Although he can level A once, he can't even kill a Qiuqiu."

"Anchor, turn the camera around and give that alchemist a positive face. Have you noticed that from this angle, that alchemist's face looks a bit like Wendy."

"Nonsense, he's at least two feet taller than Wendy!"

"Wendy's not that short, and he's not that tall...but if he also has two braids, he'll really look a bit like—anchor, quickly change the angle and take a frontal close-up!"

Lu Buwei said: "You can know the past by examining the present, and you can know the people by examining yourself. The past and the present are the same, and people have the same ears as me." America is all the same.

"Let me ask Christopher for advice first," Katie said, turning the camera to Christopher.

"Christopher, they asked you to take a picture of that alchemist's face."

Christopher was holding the nozzle, aiming at the monster that had stopped and seemed to have given up resistance in despair.Hearing Katie's question, he maintained this posture and said, "Okay, go and take a picture, and by the way, take a photo of me and that monster from that angle."

"Your posture is so ugly!" Katie complained, and turned to the side while holding the phone.

She first ran to the front of Lin Qiusheng, intending to take a frontal photo of Lin Qiusheng.

"Well, it doesn't look like it from the front, the chin is not so sharp, and the eyebrows are thicker, but the eyes are really big and beautiful, really bright, like the stars at night - completely different from the movie The Asians in it are different, I really don’t know where Hollywood finds so many Asians with squinting eyes when making movies.” The audience who said that Lin Qiusheng looks like Wendy just now came again said such a sentence.

"That's the makeup artist you haven't seen before. As long as you hand someone over to them, even if it's Wendy herself, they can make him squint in minutes." A person with Wendy's head on his head said the guy.

Lin Qiusheng had already noticed the little Caucasian girl who was pointing her mobile phone at him at this time, but he was reciting a spell at this time, and he couldn't get out of his mouth to care about them.His apprentice Zhang Feng was just staring at the monster in the magic circle at this time, and didn't notice the little girl. Seeing her getting closer to the magic circle, Lin Qiusheng was really a little anxious.He secretly decided that there would be no more chicken legs in Zhang Feng's bowl for breakfast this morning!
Katie turned her phone back to Christopher, who, she remembered, asked her to take a photo of him with the monster.At this time, the monster seemed to be a little tired, it stopped bumping around, just sat there, howling constantly.This is convenient for Katie's shooting, but the viewing range of the phone is limited, at least at the angle she is standing now, it is impossible to take pictures of both Christopher and the monster.

So Katie stared at the phone screen and moved her feet, trying to change the angle so that Christopher and the monster could fit into the screen.It's just that she didn't notice that she was getting closer and closer to those formation flags.

"Don't move!" Lin Qiusheng didn't care to continue chanting, and shouted at Katie - if she accidentally stepped on the formation flag planted on the ground, there would be a big problem.At least for those present, this problem is much bigger than Wei Yan stomping out Zhuge Liang's seven-star lamp.

But as Lin Qiusheng stopped chanting the spell, the monster's wailing immediately became ear-piercing. Katie, who was approaching it, suddenly felt the pain in her head as if a thousand steel needles had been inserted into her head. His eyes darkened, and he fell forward to the ground like a piece of wood.

Just like Wei Yan trampled over the seven-star lantern, the fallen Katie also overwhelmed a small banner that Lin Qiusheng planted later.

Following the fall of the formation flag, the monster suddenly turned its head in Katie's direction.

Christopher, who was holding his gun and posing at the monster, was taken aback by the monster's action, and he shot the monster almost without hesitation. Eight 8-gauge buckshots sprayed out from the muzzle and shot at the monster not far away.When the bullet flew towards the monster, it seemed that it had touched something. Under the streetlight, it could be seen that the air seemed to be rippling like water waves, and something shattered like glass.

In fact, when Katie fell down, although an array flag was overwhelmed, this array flag was only a flag for Lin Qiusheng to reinforce the formation after trapping the monster, and the entire formation itself was not damaged.If Christopher hadn't shot the monster, maybe this would have been a close call.But this shot changed everything.This formation is a phantom formation that defends against the inside but not the outside. When hit by a gun from the outside, it immediately breaks.

"Run! Silly children, run!" Lin Qiusheng yelled, turning his head and running.

But it was too late, the monster turned its head all of a sudden, and aimed its empty eye sockets at Christopher, who was still holding a gun.A few deer bullets hit it and bounced to the ground, splashing a few clouds of dust, and then it opened its mouth and let out a scream. Glass.All those who heard the scream felt their hands and feet go weak, and their hearts seemed to shrink into a ball.

While screaming, the monster rushed towards Christopher, as fast as a gray-black lightning bolt. In a split second, it rushed to the stunned Christopher, and with its sharp claws stretched forward, it penetrated Christopher's chest pulled out his still beating heart.

Several other youths standing a little further away suddenly panicked, some screamed, and some tried to turn around and run away, but tripped themselves.

Fortunately, Lin Qiusheng, who had already run a little further, got an SKS from nowhere, and fired several shots at the monster.

The monster turned to Lin Qiusheng again.But it didn't chase after him, maybe it remembered how agile this guy in the apricot-yellow Taoist robe was, and it was as slippery as a loach, it couldn't be caught right away, maybe it sensed that the sun was about to come out, So it didn't rush towards Lin Qiusheng, but turned around and rushed towards a small forest next to it, before disappearing into the depths of the forest in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the sun rose, and a few people who had run away came back again. Katie, who had fainted, also woke up. Several people surrounded Christopher's body, trembling.

"Let's call the police. Someone has died, and we can't hide it." Lin Qiusheng walked over and said to Li Weimin who was still sitting on the ground.

"Why am I so unlucky!" Li Weimin burst into tears and burst into tears, "I escaped from China with great difficulty, and when I got here, I was questioned first by the FBI and then by the Immigration Bureau, and now... ...And now something like this happened again. Lin Daochang, Lin Daochang, didn't you give me luck?"

After hearing this, Lin Qiusheng said seriously: "Mr. Li, you know whether the luck transfer I gave you is effective or not. And I also told you that although Mr. Li has the deep yin and moral protection left by your elders , Many things can turn bad luck into good luck, but if you only go out but not in, if you just sit and eat, no amount of accumulation will be able to withstand consumption. After that transshipment ceremony, I also reminded Mr. "Book of Changes" said,' A family that accumulates goodness will surely have lingering celebrations; a family that accumulates bad things will surely have lingering disasters.” It’s a pity that the master didn’t seem to listen to it, or else he wouldn’t be planting this kind of thing on this farm.”

"Marijuana is legal in Washington State." Li Weimin said weakly.

Lin Qiusheng listened, shook his head and said: "After the Tianjin Treaty, opening opium dens is also a legal business. But Mr. Li really thought that opening opium dens at that time would not harm morality? Or did he really think that, Is growing marijuana and selling marijuana the same thing as growing and selling tobacco?"

Li Weimin stopped talking, just sighed.After a while he said:

"I haven't owned this farm for a long time, and I haven't sold much marijuana..."

Lin Qiusheng then said: "Mr. Li, Emperor Zhaolie said: 'Don't do evil because it is too small, and don't do it because it is too small to be good.' And there was an accident today, and someone died. There are witnesses, yes You can't hide it. How can you not call the police? Besides, several people disappeared from your farm before. Judging from today's situation, the disappearance of these people may not be what you guessed before. Those people are afraid that the Immigration Bureau will come again Check, so I ran away by myself. In this way, it is a matter of three lives. Human lives are at stake, although this is not in the country, but the truth is the truth—Ah Feng, call 911."

The location of the farm was very remote, and after three hours of calling the police, five police cars came from the south with their lights on and stopped beside them.Several policemen got out of the car. Several of them stood behind the police car and put their hands on the handles of the guns at their waists. The other two policemen also held the handles of the guns at their waists and walked towards them. .

"Don't move! What happened?" asked the policeman walking in front.
