Chapter 916: Sending away the evil spirit
The priest of Dizang Temple is named Chen, but few people know his real name. Because he often helps the residents living nearby to deal with troublesome matters, people usually call him Master or Uncle.

At this moment, the sky outside was completely dark, with sparse stars and the moon. The dim light could only illuminate a small area. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and even the sound of mosquitoes or dogs barking could not be heard.

Amber followed the young man along the street and finally came to a crossroads.

The place was already filled with men in bizarre and exaggerated attire. The most eye-catching one was a burly figure wearing a black gauze hat and a red official robe.

But if you look closer, you'll find that this person actually has a lot of stuffing under his clothes, which is why he looks so strong.

If you know some folk knowledge, you can tell at a glance that this is someone dressing up as Zhong Kui!
"Uncle, the person is here!"

The young man walked over and whispered.

"Zhong Kui", who was doing routine inspection, looked over here when he heard the words. After looking around Amber, he pointed at the carriage, and then walked to the front of the team in square steps.

"Brother, remember, once the ritual of sending away evil spirits begins, you cannot stop. While walking, don't speak if you can, especially don't say your own name!"

The young man leaned over and whispered before the fight even started.

Amber nodded and silently walked to the back of the team.

Although I have experienced many worlds, this is the first time I have encountered this situation. There is an indescribable feeling of freshness.

“Let’s get going!!”

As a strange tone sounded in the team, "Zhong Kui" who had been prepared long ago lifted his skirt and raised his leg to step forward.

The others followed closely behind, throwing paper money in their hands. The wind blew it everywhere, like a different kind of rain.

"Light up the fragrance that penetrates the sky, let the minister advertise"

The vague and quick words drifted back with the wind, and when the light fell into Amber's ears, only disjointed paragraphs remained.

It’s strange that the weather was not that cold, but as the team kept moving forward, there was a biting chill.

The cold feeling didn't seem to come from the outside in, but rather from the inside out.

Amber looked at this scene, and although she was amazed, she knew very well that this ceremony would not succeed.

He hadn't reacted before, but when he saw this scene and the appearance of the tall and thin figure he saw during the day, he had no idea where he had traveled to.

If he remembered correctly, this should be a Taiwanese horror film called Zong Xie.

The story tells about a girl who died tragically in a school bullying incident and then sought revenge on the murderer.

Although the time interval was a bit far, no one escaped.

Especially when it comes to solving the problem, it makes people think about it carefully and it’s a bit scary.

Just as Amber was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in the team in front. Looking up, she saw two men, one tall and one short, holding cameras and filming the team.

"You are looking for death!!"

"Zhong Kui" cannot speak, so it was the young man at the back of the team who drove them away, "Do you know what this is for? If you delay things, you'll be finished!"

"Of course I know. We're just taking a look. Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you!"

The tall man held up the camera and kept filming while explaining in a low voice.

The advancing team cannot be interrupted, so the young man had no choice but to let them follow at the back, which happened to be the same as Amber.

"Hey, the camera is pointing at the bullock cart. Yes, that's the bag!"

The two were completely immersed in the filming and had no intention of chatting at all.

Amber did not disturb them when seeing this, and her eyes kept lingering on the "Zhong Kui" and the evil creature in the front.

If I remember correctly, there should be a rope inside. The reason for this ceremony is precisely because of the news that was very popular in the newspapers before.

A newly married bride ran to the wilderness alone and hanged herself that day.

Such a strange thing happened, and coupled with the fact that this place has a strong religious belief, various folk rituals have been passed down basically without interruption.

Amber really wanted to see what the trick was.

boom!
The ox cart was moving on a flat road, but suddenly it overturned to the ground. The two young men pulling it also fell out, and the team had to stop.

"Zhong Kui" came over to check and found nothing unusual. There was not even a large stone on the ground.

With his eyes slightly lowered, he waved to the people around him, then returned to the front of the team alone.

Those who can come here to send away evil spirits basically have certain experience and naturally know what to do at this time.

Without being told, they quickly put everything in the bags in the car into storage.

Amber could see clearly from behind that they were talisman paper, straw men, red ropes and other items.

At the same time, he also saw the rope that was right at hand but was ignored by those people.

It was a very ordinary hemp rope, about one meter long and as thick as two thumbs. The ends of the rope had already come loose and it didn't look anything special.

But in Amber's eyes, she felt an extremely cold chill.

This made him unable to help but pinch his fingers.

Resisting the urge to tear it apart, Amber followed the team calmly until they stopped at Haikou.

"From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, go! go!"

A desolate and ancient accent rang in the ears of "Zhong Kui". Several young men standing behind him grabbed handfuls of paper money from the basket and kept throwing them into the sky. At the same time, a man dressed as a strong man pulled out a whip and began to whip the air.

The crisp snapping sounds continued until the sack was thrown into the sea, and the ritual of sending away evil spirits was finally completed.

"Zhong Kui", who had been tense all the time, breathed a sigh of relief and strode up to the two people who had joined in the middle.

"If you want to die, then find a place to bury yourself, don't come here to harm others!"

"Uncle, we are just curious."

"Humph! You're getting bolder and bolder!"

People in this line of work basically have no descendants, so the nephew can be considered half a son. Although Zhong Kui was angry at the boy for being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, he did not take it too seriously since nothing unexpected had happened.

"Don't stay outside too late, go back quickly!"

"Hey, I got it, uncle!"

Since they have already got the things, they won’t stay there any longer.

When everyone started to rush back, Zhong Kui grabbed a handful of ashes from the remaining paper money and slapped Amber on the back. "Every grievance has its perpetrator, if you dare to entangle me again, I will beat you to death! Get out of here!"

"Is this good?"

Amber turned her head to look, "Will it be useless?"

"You'll find out tonight whether it works or not. Don't go to sleep when you get home. If there's a statue of the deity at home, sit under it. If not, turn on the lights and watch TV. If everything is calm after three o'clock, the thing is gone for good."

"Zhong Kui" said softly, then left with the main group without looking back.
