Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 116 Another Statue

Liangzhou City is adjacent to a large river, and the underground water system is extremely developed.

The mass of Yin Qi twisted and turned in the underground water system, intending to shake off the Yin-seeking Talisman behind him.

But the Yin-seeking Talisman is not a living thing, it is tireless and will not lose its way.

It will only track the objects with the strongest Yin energy within the sensing range.

Chen Yuan in the city guard's mansion flew up. Huang Zongming saw this and said hurriedly:
"Master Immortal, can you take me to see the world?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him, but did not refuse. The wind swept him up into the clouds.

Following the direction of the 'Yin-seeking Talisman', the cloud supporting the two gradually approached the port.

Upon seeing this, Huang Zongming peeked at Chen Yuan's face, and then pretended to be confused and said:
"Master Immortal, according to what Wei Run said, this ghost has been hiding in the Lancang River for at least several years. Why has it not disturbed the wind and rain before, but now it suddenly jumped out?"

Chen Yuan didn't squint his eyes and said calmly:
"Huang Chengshou can say what he wants to say, there is no need to beat around the bush."

"Immortal Master Mingjian, I am just a little puzzled."

"If it is said that this ghost is afraid of the immortal master, it can continue to hide, and there is no need to jump out. After all, although the matter of sacrificing babies and children who died young is not on the table, as long as it is not deliberately killed, it will not attract others' attention."

"It hides like this, although it can't develop too many believers, at least it won't be traced out."

"Now that it has jumped out at this time and is so obviously targeting the Hu family, it seems a bit strange no matter how you look at it."

Chen Yuan glanced sideways at Huang Zongming in surprise, nodded slightly and said:
"The series of weird things like keeping the scriptures in Huangcheng, and being able to see through the essence of these things at a glance, is indeed extraordinary for ordinary people."

"Haha, Immortal Master is ridiculous. I have seen too many intrigues and intrigues, so I can't help but think about it more."

"Huang Chengshou's words are true. This ghost can continue to hide, or it can leave along the water system. There is no need to jump out to be the first bird. I am afraid that it is being instructed by others to act like this."

"I occasionally exchange letters with the city guards from other provinces and counties, but I have never heard of ghosts targeting the Hu family in other provinces and counties. It is really disturbing that this happened to me in Liangzhou."

As Huang Zongming spoke, he couldn't help showing a bit of worry on his face.

Chen Yuan was noncommittal, remembering that the last time he came to Yuzhou, the missing Yan Jun gave him the book of life and death.

Could it be because of this incident?

That's not right. To be able to force Lord Yama who is in charge of the underworld to flee with the Book of Life and Death must be a very high level of cultivation.

If he wanted to deal with himself and the Hu family, he could take action directly.

Although I can end the descent at any time, the Hu family is likely to be uprooted.

Unless, this person is restricted by certain rules and can only take action in the underworld, so the Lord of Hell is forced to not dare to return to the underworld.

But if you can only do it in the underworld, why should Yan Jun give the book of life and death to himself, an outsider, and just stay in the underworld?
Unable to figure this out, Chen Yuan turned his attention back to the 'Yin-seeking Talisman'.

At this time, the Yin-seeking Talisman had stopped 300 meters away from the port underwater, emitting blue-gray brilliance twinkling.

A filthy thing covered in water plants, whose body is about the size of a five or six-year-old child, is constantly gathering water, trying to tear the Yin-Seeking Talisman to shreds.

It already understands that if it doesn't get rid of the chasing tail, it will definitely not be able to shake off the pursuers.

It's just that before it shredded the talisman, a phantom light fell on its head.

It froze, and incense rose from its body, vaguely waking it up from the illusion.

However, there was too little incense on it, and the symbol of the river god was not condensed. Within two breaths, the incense on its body dimmed.

As the incense faded, its expression became dull.

The figure emerged from the water, gathering water columns and rising in front of Chen Yuan and Huang Zongming.

"Water monkey?"

Huang Zongming spoke subconsciously, but Chen Yuan shook his head and said:

"A water ghost who knows the way of sacrifice."

After finishing speaking, he asked the water ghost:

"Who taught you the way of sacrifice?"

The water monkey said dully: "No one taught him, he watched sacrifices every year, and groped for himself."

Chen Yuan looked sideways at Huang Zongming.

Huang Zongming nodded and said: "The city of Liangzhou is close to the river. It is true that every year on June [-]th, sacrifices are held on the riverside to pray for good weather and prosperous fisheries."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and continued to ask:
"There is some wisdom, but what about the babies and children who died in infancy and were sacrificed?"

"have eaten."

These two simple words made Huang Zongming shrink back.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Why use this incident to target the Hu family?"

"Follow orders."

"Whose order?"

"I don't know."

"Then how to convey the order to you?"

Hearing this, the water ghost's dull expression moved, and it continued after Chen Yuan increased the influence of the illusion:

"An order from the soul."

"The other party didn't show up, and it directly affected your soul?"

"No, this seems to be an order left by the ancestors and passed down in the blood soul."

"Ancestor? You were also a human race before you died. Could it be that there were practitioners in your ancestors, so that this order will be remembered and passed down from generation to generation?"

"I don't know."

"Then when did you receive this order?"

"Yesterday, after the members of the Hu family killed the prisoner."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help frowning, and Huang Zongming also said:

"This is such a coincidence. It's obvious that he is here for the Hu family."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan took the strong wind to lift the water ghost up, and then flew to the city guard's mansion, and continued to ask on the way:

"Xi Niu, the boy from the Zhao family, and the girl from the Liu family are all your victims?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this answer, Huang Zongming breathed out.

Although he didn't know who ordered this ghost to target the Hu family, he was relieved to have caught something harmful to people's lives.

After all, being incited to accuse him of misusing the Hu family is a lot of pressure for him.

It's just that if something weird happens in the future and you want the Hu family to take action, you have to think more carefully.

Back at the Chengshou Mansion, Chen Yuan drew a few pieces of Yin-repelling Talismans from the 'Daoyuan Divination'.

Slap the talisman on the water ghost and seal it with all the Yin power.

Then use jade stones to set up a fire-absorbing evil array around it to prevent it from escaping.

After setting up, he sat quietly in the living room.

I was thinking about taking a trip to the underworld to get some information.

Before he went to hell, he had not touched the Book of Life and Death at that time.

But now that he has come into contact with the book of life and death, the man behind the scenes who forced Yan Jun to escape may be able to sense the aura of the book of life and death in him.

No, you don't have to make the trip yourself.

You can use the horn left by the bull's head to contact the bull's head directly to see if there is any change in the underworld.

When Huang Zongming saw that Chen Yuan had finished dealing with the water ghost, he sat quietly in the living room, served tea and said carefully:
"Master Immortal, this ghost will go to Caishikou tomorrow..."

"I will personally escort it there and open the gates of Hades and send it in."

"That's good, that's good, thank you, Immortal Master."

With Chen Yuan's promise, Huang Zongming heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, as soon as he returned to the city guard's mansion, he couldn't help but think of Xiniu who died under his bed.

After a pause, he continued to ask:

"I heard that the fairy master likes the things of the spirit fox. Unfortunately, I have never tried the things of the spirit fox. However, there is a statue of a weasel. This statue has a bit of charm. If the fairy master does not dislike it, I will take it as a thank you for this shot." Come on."

A statue of a weasel?

Chen Yuan blinked, stood up with interest and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Huang Zongming responded, and immediately led the way, leading Chen Yuan to the wing room of his private collection.

There are many antique objects in the room, most of which are famous paintings, and some jade and stone carvings.

Before Chen Yuan came in, his spiritual consciousness noticed one of the statues polished with yellow jade.

This statue is the image of a weasel, which looks lifelike, and there is a sense of cunning in the aura.

Now that he opened the door and came in, holding the object in his hand, Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said:
"There is indeed a spiritual charm within it, but it requires specific techniques to open it."

"In this case, has the Immortal Master ever taken a liking to it?"

Huang Zongming said, raised his hand and circled around:

"If there is something in this place, if the immortal teacher is interested, he can take it."

"It's enough if you have this thing."

Chen Yuan was too lazy to look at the other objects without aura, turned around and walked towards the door and said:
"Huang Chengshou actively offered treasures because he wanted something to protect his house, right?"

Huang Zongming was pointed out what was in his heart, and he did not deny it at the moment, and bowed with his hands together:
"Immortal Master Mingjian, what happened last night was really too horrifying. I still remember the feeling of hugging Xi Niu's cool body. If I don't have something to protect the house, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for a long time. I also hope that the immortal master will be merciful and bestow one or two."

"It's not difficult to find something to protect the house, but I want to know the origin of this statue."

"Here, this statue was also given to me by the owner of a trading company. He once said that he got it from a businessman, but I don't know where the businessman is now."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was a little disappointed, and took out the talisman paper and brush after returning to the living room.

Spiritual power was poured into the pen, and a yin-dispelling talisman filled with spiritual energy was drawn.

Although the Yin-dispelling Talisman in this 'Daoyuan Divination Technique' is not of the highest level, with Chen Yuan's current level of cultivation and attainments in the Talisman, it stands out for a long time.

He handed the talisman to Huang Zongming casually, put away the brush and said:
"Take this talisman with you, and you won't dare to get close to it when you're looking for a ghost."

"Thank you Immortal Master, thank you Immortal Master!"

Huang Zongming happily took the talisman and put it close to his body, making the servants around him envious.

Chen Yuan ignored these people, but looked at the weasel statue.

The aura of this image is introverted. If there is no special method to forcefully explore it, the inner aura will probably be self-destructed.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the statue and stood up and said:

"I'll leave for a while and return before dawn tomorrow. I'll send people to take turns keeping an eye on the water ghost. Don't get close to it and don't splash water on it."

After saying this, he caught the wind and flew out of the city guard's mansion.

But Huang Zongming didn't expect Chen Yuan to leave as soon as he said it, and when he wanted to persuade him, Chen Yuan had already flown away.

At that moment, he had no choice but to turn his head to look at the guard:
"Six sons, remember the words of the immortal master just now. Don't let people approach and splash water next to that water ghost."

"Yes! I'll arrange the manpower now."

······
Chen Yuan flew back to the Hu family with the weasel statue and landed in the Hu family ancestral hall.

Placing the statue on the altar table, Chen Yuan released his possession, and his spirit body entered the statue of the fox fairy with a fox head and body:

"Sacrifice this thing to me, then go back and rest. I will come again before dawn tomorrow."

"Follow the Fox Fairy's order!"

Hu Fenggao responded, took three sticks of incense, and kowtowed to the statue of the fox fairy.

Green smoke rose, carrying the statue of the weasel flying to an inexplicable height.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan ended his descent and returned to the earthly immortal world.

As soon as he came back, blue smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

And in the green smoke, a statue of a weasel carved from topaz floats up and down.

Take a deep breath and inhale this statue into your body.

Without rushing to explore this object with his spiritual consciousness, he got up and flew to the exchange hall.

But halfway through the flight, he turned in the direction of the mountain gate.

Go to the old fox first to see if she has the means to break the seal and open the treasure. If she doesn't, then go to the exchange hall.

After all, the old fox pampers himself enough. Even if he knows that he has a sealed spiritual object, he will not spread it everywhere.

But if you go to the exchange hall, you might be discovered by someone who is interested, and then spread the word and cause unnecessary trouble.

Flying all the way to the red and white temples in the mountain gate, a divine sense swept over him.

Chen Yuan felt his whole body tighten and his eyes blurred. When his vision returned to normal, he had arrived in the old fox's room again.

"What's wrong? What trouble happened?"

"Congratulations, senior, for improving your cultivation."

Chen Yuan flattered him first, and then asked: "Senior, do you have a way to break seals and open treasures?"

"It's just a matter of stabilizing Nanao's cultivation, it's not much of an improvement."

Mu Ling raised her chin, obviously very pleased with Chen Yuan's flattery, and then said leisurely:
"It seems that your luck is good, kid, and you have got something that needs to be broken and opened. Let me show it for you."

"Here, this junior can't get it out. It's a friend of this junior who accidentally bumped into a spiritual object, but this spiritual object contains a seal. I'm worried that if we forcefully explore the inner aura, the aura will destroy itself."

"Then it seems that your friend is lucky."

Mu Ling squinted at Chen Yuan, but she didn't expose him, but the old god said:

"Tell your friend that if anything has aura, you need to pay attention to whether it has any bloodline restrictions. If there is a bloodline restriction, the aura will definitely destroy itself unless the descendant of the bloodline opens it."

"Then is there a solution to this bloodline restriction?"

"Of course there is. You don't need to care about the concentration if you are looking for the blood of his clan. As long as it is contaminated with his blood, then you can use this method to open it and you will have no worries."

After Mu Ling finished speaking, she suddenly extended a finger and warned:

"By the way, if the master of this aura is still alive, he will notice it after turning on the aura."

"If his cultivation is as high as the sky, or if he has special talents, he can rely on his aura to sense and counteract those who are not of his race. Tell your friend to be careful. If you feel wrong, destroy the aura directly. Don't be greedy." many."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan secretly rejoiced that he had come to find the old fox first, otherwise, if he went to the exchange hall to find the formula to break the seal and open the treasure, he might capsize in the gutter.

At that moment, he said goodbye to the old fox after thanking him, and flew back to his den in Hu'er Mountain.

After hesitating for a moment, he came to the Baojia Immortal World first. After all, a lot of time had passed in the Baojia Immortal World.

If the time to escort Shui Gui to Caishikou is missed, Huang Zongming's scolding will be fine, and the Hu family's reputation will be a big deal.

When he came to the statue of the ancestral hall, he found that Hu Fenggao was asleep in the ancestral hall, presumably because he was worried that Chen Yuan would not be able to find him when he came.

Chen Yuan was not polite, he possessed him, Yufeng flew out of the ancestral hall, and went straight to the city guard's mansion.

The city guard's mansion was brightly lit at the moment. Although Huang Zongming had the Yin-Dispelling Talisman to protect him, he was still too worried to sleep, so he simply waited in the living room.

From time to time he looked at the banned water ghost, and from time to time he looked at the sky.

Not only to check the time, but also to see if Chen Yuan has returned.

At this time, Chen Yuan Yufeng came, Huang Zongming immediately greeted him and said:

"Oh, my Master Hu, you are back. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, and I kept watch over this water ghost all night long."

"You are worried that if I don't come back, I won't be able to explain to the people in the city tomorrow."
