I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 3 Evil Spirits
The young man was determined and said hypocritically, "Don't cry! I will report this matter to Master truthfully. When a person dies, all grudges are gone. My Master is not a bad person! Now you just have to bless us to survive tonight!"

The boy tried to comfort the Liu couple. Sang Que saw the boy's expression, lowered his head, hid the fruit knife in his sleeve, and remained calm.

"My name is Mingzhang. Thank you for your help before. May I ask your name?" Mingzhang walked out from the inner room and asked.

"Mulan."

Sang Que casually said that when she was in the first year of high school, she bravely stood up for justice outside the school and became famous overnight. Since then, she has been given a nickname - Sang Mulan.

Ming Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Sangque again.

Mingzhang discovered that she dressed differently from the people here and spoke with a different accent, which was very strange.

The skin on her face was even more delicate and fair than that of a young lady in the boudoir, but there were calluses on her hands. Her lower body was very stable and she had considerable strength, obviously a martial artist.

"Where did Miss Mulan come from? Why did she appear in Black Mountain Village at night?"

Ming Zhang continued to inquire, silently making some calculations in his mind.

There was no ripple in Sang Que's eyes. He suppressed all emotions and pretended to be cool.

"get lost."

The more you say, the more mistakes you make. It would be better to say less and let the boy named Ming Zhang fill in the rest in his own mind and rationalize everything by himself. Exposing too much of her information would definitely not be good for the current situation.

Without waiting for Mingzhang to ask again, Sangque turned to look at the talisman on the main door.

"The talisman is burning."

Hearing this, Ming Zhang's heart trembled, and he rushed over to check. He was shocked to see that the talisman papers on the door and window were burning faster and faster.

"Oh no! The evil spirit must be still outside the yard." Ming Zhang leaned over the crack in the door and looked out.

Sang Que thought silently, he is not outside the yard, but right in front of you, looking up at you.

"At this rate, we won't be able to hold out until dawn, and the evil spirit will rush in and kill us all. That evil spirit is not an ordinary evil spirit, and it will not follow the rule of not entering a house at night."

In folk culture, a sacrificial ceremony is held on the day when a new house is built, and chickens are killed to worship the gods. At that time, as long as the doors and windows of the house are closed and a lamp is lit, it can prevent the invasion of evil spirits.

At night when evil spirits are rampant, staying indoors and keeping quiet will basically ensure you are safe.

But there are exceptions. Some powerful or special evil spirits will not follow this rule and can still break into homes and kill people at night.

Ming Zhang turned around suddenly and stared at Sang Que, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Miss Mulan, do you have something that can fight evil spirits? With the help of that thing and my talisman, we will definitely be able to get out. As long as we return to my master, our lives can be saved."

Sang Que immediately thought of the amulet around his neck, which was a talisman coin, similar to the ancient square-holed copper coins.

The whole thing is shiny black, and the patterns and writings on it are all dark red.

I don’t know what era it is from, but she has been wearing it since she was a child.

She had done research and knew that evil-averting money was used in ancient times to pray for blessings, exorcise evil spirits, kill ghosts, etc. There are many different types and uses.

One side of her copper coin has a Bagua pattern, and the other side has a 27-character Taoist spell.

When those hands were on Qin Lu's shoulders at her home, she was able to escape danger by reciting the twenty-seven-word spell, but was sent to this strange place.

Since she was a child, she has often recited that spell and felt that the spell had the ability to calm her down, but other than that, it had no other effect.

Only Qin Lu showed abnormality this time. Perhaps she needed to come into contact with the evil spirit that Ming Zhang mentioned, and the talisman money would work.

Of course, Sang Que couldn't give the talisman money to Ming Zhang. It was her trump card, and whether she could go back depended on this talisman money.

After thinking for a while, Sang Que said, "I don't have anything special on me, and there is more than one evil spirit outside, there are two more on the tree."

Sang Que was asking questions, she wanted to know why only she could see it.

"two?!"

Ming Zhang opened his mouth in surprise and looked through the crack in the door towards the old locust tree in the yard. In his sight, there was only Liu Caifeng's corpse.

"Have you opened the Ghost Gate and descended into the Netherworld? How many levels have you descended to?" Ming Zhang asked excitedly.

Sangque felt a sense of jealousy and aggressive intent in Mingzhang's eyes, very weak and suppressed, but present.

She is a martial artist and is very sensitive to this.

Ming Zhang mentioned opening the ghost gate and going down to the Netherworld. Could it be that the place where she had been falling in her previous dreams was the Netherworld? The Netherworld of the Netherworld Hell?
Judging from the name, Jiuyou must have nine levels.

Can people who enter the Nine Netherworld see the so-called evil spirits?

Why not just call it 'ghost'?
Why couldn't Mingzhang, a person who knew how to exorcise evil spirits and use talismans, see it?

Is it related to the level of the Lower Nine Netherworld?
Or is it for other reasons?

Sang Que had many questions in her mind, but she suppressed them for the time being, remaining cool and silent, and looked up again at the talisman paper that had been half burned.

Ming Zhang followed her gaze and cursed inwardly, "Damn it! There's no time left. If we don't find a solution, we'll all die!"

Ming Zhang was breathing heavily, pacing back and forth, gritted his teeth, thinking and muttering.

"I just stepped into the first layer of the Nine Netherworlds, but I couldn't see the two evil spirits outside. This means that these two evil spirits are more advanced than me. They are either from a deeper level of the first layer, or from the second layer."

"If it's the second level, I won't be able to contend with it. I'll die if I touch it. Only my master can help me to suppress it. So right now, we have to find a way to get to where my master lives. From here to the end of the village, if we run fast, it will take at least... the time of a short incense stick."

Sang Que thought about it and concluded that there are three versions of a stick of incense: five minutes, thirty minutes, and one hour.

The short incense stick that Mingzhang mentioned is most likely five minutes.

Ming Zhang pondered for a moment and glanced around the room. The crying had subsided. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Sang Que, knowing that Sang Que would not take out the thing she had that could ward off evil spirits.

But they had no way to retreat and had to flee immediately.

Mingzhang rushed into the inner room and dragged the Liu couple out. The two were terrified and trembling.

Ming Zhang suppressed his anger and shouted, "Now all of this is caused by you indulging Liu Caifeng. If you still want to live, follow me and escape through the back window."

The old man and the old woman from the Liu family felt their legs go limp and they collapsed to the ground. They knew nothing. Caifeng had locked them up in the inner room. Who knew that Caifeng would cause such a big disaster.

The old woman cried and screamed, "There are evil spirits outside who want to take our lives now. How dare we go out?"

Ming Zhang gritted his teeth. If Sang Que hadn't been watching, he would have wanted to kill these two vicious old guys with a knife each!
"You also know that all evil spirits, especially low-level evil spirits, have rules for killing people. As long as you don't trigger the evil spirit's rules, you have a chance to survive."

"The hanging rope is the easiest to deal with. As long as you don't want to commit suicide and don't look up at the face of the corpse under the rope, you won't be attacked by the hanging rope. The most difficult thing to deal with now is another unknown evil spirit. That evil spirit has begun to produce evil fog. Evil spirits with evil fog are not easy to deal with."

"Ordinary people will get lost if they enter the evil fog and will never be able to get out. However, the evil spirits can come and go freely within the range of the evil fog. But I still have one last evil-repelling talisman. As long as we run fast, it won't be a problem for us to hold on until my master."

When it comes to this, Ming Zhang wants to curse. If he had known that the evil spirit could enter the house, he would not have wasted the talismans on sealing the doors and windows.

Although the power of the exorcism talisman is very limited, he may still be able to escape if he tries. Just now, he couldn't find the donkey cart where he put the inkstone and iron sword, and found that the evil spirit was ferocious, so he retreated.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now!

Ming Zhang paused, "The evil spirit with the evil mist will temporarily suppress the weaker evil spirits around it. Although we don't know what the killing rules of that evil spirit are, as long as it stares at us and chases us, other evil spirits will not get close to us. It can also be regarded as a kind of protection."

Ming Zhang had just finished speaking, before the Liu couple could say anything, flames suddenly burst out from the less than one-third of the talisman paper left on the doors and windows.

A gust of cold wind appeared out of nowhere, and the flames of the lights in the room shook, suddenly turning into an eerie green.

Seeing this, Ming Zhang was shocked all over, his face turned pale, and he quickly backed away from the door and window. The Liu couple also huddled together in fear.

Sang Que saw that the two old wooden doors were decaying at a very fast speed, with dark red and damp stains appearing, and the stench was getting stronger and stronger.

The deep darkness outside poured in through the crack in the door like fog.

"Where is that evil spirit now?" Ming Zhang asked Sang Que nervously, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and frost covered several pairs of frightened eyes.

Sang Que tightly grasped the fruit knife in his sleeve, stepped back cautiously, and stared at the door.

"Outside the door...come in!"
