Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

"Open the door! It's me, Ah Hong!"

Ah Hong's voice rang out from outside the door early in the morning.

"I'm coming!"

Chen Ye checked through the peephole and found it was Ah Hong, then opened the door.

As soon as she entered, Ah Hong rushed over, grabbed Chen Ye's hands, and started squeezing and flicking them, looking very anxious and in a daze.

"You should be alright, right? You're not missing any limbs or anything, are you?"

Chen Ye shook his head and smiled, saying, "I'm standing right here, perfectly fine, nothing's happened to me!"

"That's good!"

Ah Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Chen Ye asked the question knowing the answer already.

In fact, after seeing Ah Hong's performance, he suspected it was related to the strange eyeball in the sky.

Of course……

And that 'hungry' monster!

Ah Hong rolled her eyes at Chen Ye: "You're still pretending! Yesterday you were practically in the midst of a battle between immortals and gods. Those two things... Now that you've activated your breathing technique and all those cultivation methods, you must have noticed those things... Even if you haven't activated them, once these things materialize and become fully aware of you, it's impossible for you to be completely unaffected!"

“I did see something a bit scary!” It wasn’t Chen Ye who spoke, but Ito’s will.

"You should know what those things are, right?" Chen Ye asked after taking control of Ito's possession.

"To be honest, I don't know much either."

Ah Hong shook her head, organized her thoughts, and then began to explain:

"But... that giant eyeball in the sky is called the Obscure Angel in the records of the prophecy stone."

"Angel?"

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed immediately.

My current profession and status are that of a [Spirit Angel]...

They have already attained the rank of angels!

The term "obscure angel" also uses the title of angel...

Chen Ye didn't think this was any coincidence!
and……

In Chen Ye's perception, the other party's level and the completeness of their angelic nature were higher than his own!
It is quite possible that this giant eye, which has lingered here, has already captured something deeper about this world!

now.

This level of stuff has already come into contact with Chen Ye!

Once this thing is started, it will never stop so easily.

"As an angel as well, He should have the ability to leave this place."

Chen Ye pondered this in his heart.

after all.

Chen Ye felt that the large eyeball didn't have a physical form. The reason it manifested in the void was simply because it sensed his presence and was very interested in it, so it came out to play for a bit.

But in essence, since that big eyeball has no physical form, it could very well leave at any time.

"I really admire you!"

"How can you remain so calm in the face of something like this!"

Ah Hong looked at Chen Ye's calm expression as he continued to ponder, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.

"It's nothing," Chen Ye chuckled. "I even treated that big-eyed guy to a skewer of... grilled meat!"

Ah Hong's smile froze instantly.

"You...you...you even treated someone of that level...to food?"

Ah Hong's tone was one of utter astonishment!
"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Chen Ye's tone sounded very self-righteous!

"Get out of here! That's an angel! His existence represents prophecy, the future, and the fact that everything will be reconstructed..."

"It would be extremely dangerous for you to come into contact with something like that!"

"You...you can't act like nothing's wrong...I'm not trying to scare you, I'm telling you this very seriously!"

Ah Hong's words did not seem to be taken seriously.

Chen Ye reassured Ah Hong, "It's okay, you've already eaten it all. If you ate my food, then you're my brother. It's no big deal."

Ah Hong was completely speechless.

Ok……

It can only be said that Chen Ye's heart was too strong!

A normal person simply couldn't handle something so complicated.

"correct!"

Ah Hong took out a cloth bag from behind her back, opened it, and there was a peach wood sword inside.

"This is a peach wood sword that my martial uncle entrusted me to give to you!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just made of wood. This wood was once struck by lightning. Even if it were placed in our Taoist temple, it would be no ordinary item!"

"Because you helped me regain my life, and even recovered to a better state, ate so much food, and helped the Taoist temple by guiding so many human heads into the afterlife..."

"Therefore, our Taoist temple naturally considers you a friend, senior brother!"

"Consider this peach wood sword a small gift for our first meeting!"

Chen Ye held the peach wood sword in his hand, played with it for a while, and couldn't help but marvel at it:
"It is indeed a peach wood sword with a spirit!"

The blade of this peach wood sword is engraved with some strange and abstract talismans, including the Five Thunders and the Celestial Master, but it does not appear chaotic; on the contrary, it appears well-ordered.

Chen Ye put the sword away and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I'll accept it without further ado."

"No problem, this sword will definitely be even more powerful in your hands, senior!" Ah Hong didn't forget to flatter Chen Ye a few times. After all, after what happened with the obscure angel, Ah Hong felt that Chen Ye really had some big secrets!

Furthermore, this kind of secret is definitely not something an ordinary person can keep!
do not know why……

Ah Hong had a strange intuition—Chen Ye might know more about the Mysterious Angels than she did!

Just then, Chen Ye's gaze fell upon the newly acquired Celestial Master Sword.

"This is indeed a fine sword!"

Don't be fooled by its unremarkable appearance as a wooden sword; it has a surprisingly substantial weight to it.

The most important thing is...

Activating the [Eye of Fortune] reveals that the Celestial Master Sword is enveloped in a dazzling, shimmering light.

Furthermore, this radiant light connected with the entire Ito house via its own purple aura bridge!
just now.

Ito's house is filled with a magnificent, dark yellow hue!

The paintings covering the walls radiated a serene, white glow, like a protective ray of light shielding the house.

From the perspective of fortune...

The feng shui of this house has been adjusted quite well!

At least... all those messy things will be completely blocked by the power within this house.

Next.

Chen Ye opened the curtains, preparing to begin painting.

You won't believe it until you see it...

When the curtains were opened, there was a long queue of people waiting for Chen Ye to perform the ritual for them.

"Good heavens!" "There are so many people... are they lining up outside for those balloons?"

At this moment, Chen Ye couldn't care less about anything else and immediately began the ritual to help the deceased pass on.

The paintbrush made a rustling sound as it touched the paper.

Through continuous rituals to deliver the deceased.

The number of human head balloons is decreasing.

On the desktop,
The food piled up was getting bigger and bigger, and soon it would be too much to fit in.

"There's so much food, we can't even fit it all in the house!" Chen Ye worried.

He ate ten skewers of grilled meat while he was painting today.

It has to be said that roasted meat that has been baked in the oven is quite edible!
I almost got a nosebleed from eating Ito...

Fortunately, Chen Ye was proficient in breathing techniques and helped Ito stabilize himself, preventing any serious problems.

But Chen Ye also realized that Ito's body was still too weak before!

Even food should not be eaten indiscriminately.

As for generating more heat, Chen Ye, with proper guidance, successfully unlocked the fourth Heavenly Mandate Qi.

now.

The four streams of celestial energy converged in every corner of the house.

One of the energies of destiny condensed in the Celestial Master's Talisman;

There is also a divinely ordained energy condensed in the oven;
The third element of destiny is condensed in the paintbrush;

Chen Ye chose to give the newly acquired fourth strand of Heavenly Mandate Qi to the peach wood sword.

This Celestial Master Sword, infused with the power of destiny, burst forth with new brilliance!
Its powerful ability to ward off evil spirits caused most of the ill-intentioned people who wanted to take advantage of it to retreat to a very far place.

After all, according to Chen Ye's rules, if no food can be provided, the ritual for the deceased will not be performed.

but.

In fact, Chen Ye did want to perform a ritual to help the dead pass on, but doing so would not comply with the rules of this world.

Therefore, most of the people who receive the salvation of the dead are in the middle ranks, while some are at the bottom, having finally found food to seek liberation.

But if this continues, sooner or later a large number of human head balloons that have not received food will remain trapped in a cycle of despair.

This will bring chaos to this world.

"Sigh, this task is still arduous and has a long way to go!"

Looking at the long line of people with balloons resembling heads behind him, Chen Ye couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Ah Hong, you said there's so much food, what should we do with it?"

Chen Ye said with a worried look on his face.

"This……"

Ah Hong was immediately taken aback by Chen Ye's words.

Listen to this, is this even human language?

In a world where food is so scarce, who would complain about having too much food?
but,

Looking at the table piled high with snacks, Ah Hong thought about it and realized that this was indeed a problem.

After all, for Chen Ye, the storage space for the paint is now particularly important.

But the pigments in this world are a type of chemical product with a strong odor.

It will contaminate the food.

However, there is now so much food that there is hardly any room for Chen Ye's feet.

Ah Hong then remembered Chen Ye's previous "resurrection" plan, thought for a moment, and said:
“Brother, there’s a Taoist priest in our temple who has gone mad with his cultivation. He went astray in his meridians while practicing his internal energy, which is why he flew into a human-shaped balloon... But because he has gone mad, he is incredibly strong and can help you with a lot of things.”

"Now his sect doesn't care about him either, after all, he's entered this demonic path and will be looked down upon."

"Actually, I think he's quite pitiful. He hasn't stolen or robbed anyone yet. He's been living honestly and dutifully, relying on his breathing techniques to survive. He's not even that big."

"I was thinking... brother, would you be willing to help him come back to life? He would definitely be willing to do anything for you!"

Chen Ye thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "You can bring him to see me first."

Ah Hong said, "Alright, I'll go find him first!"

After saying that, Ah Hong went out.

At this moment……

Boom boom boom! ! !
There was a knock on the door.

"Honey, it's me, open the door!" Tomie's soft voice rang out from outside the door again.

"It's him again..." Ito couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Just ignore him..."

But to Ito's surprise, Chen Ye smiled and said:

"It's alright. With our current strength, we can handle it. Let's see what she's up to."

As he spoke, Chen Ye grabbed the peach wood sword next to the window and walked towards the door.

Just now.

The reason why the outside was so orderly while Chen Ye was painting, with no spitting or littering today, is because of this peach wood sword.

It's so sunny!

Any evil spirits that encounter this peach wood sword will immediately flee far away, not daring to approach even half a step.

As Chen Ye took the Celestial Master Sword and walked towards the door...

The knocking stopped immediately.

When Chen Ye opened the door, he saw that Tomie had already hidden in the opening of the garbage door, her head tucked in, looking weak, helpless and pitiful.

She completely lacked the aura she had that day.

"Honey... could you put down that sword you're holding for a moment...?"

Tomie spoke weakly.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that won't work."

Chen Ye grinned, then took out a piece of bread and asked, "Want to come over?"

Tomie then cautiously approached, maintaining a distance of at least ten meters...

It's as if being cut by a peach wood sword would be a disaster!
Chen Ye smiled and said, "You want to eat this bread?"

Tomie nodded vigorously.

Chen Ye sneered, "Then, starting today, right here at the door, you'll learn breathing techniques with me."

Tomie paused for a moment, then could only nod with a wry smile: "I'll try... I'll try..."

"You must learn this. If you haven't, then you need to run in place, do frog jumps, and squats to burn off the calories before you can eat. Understand?"

"Understood?"

"Alright, in that case, let's begin!"

Next, Chen Ye began to teach Tomie how to breathe.

To be honest... Tomie's talent isn't bad, it's just that she didn't know these things before... Even if she did know, her awareness at that time was vague, and she didn't know how to study them.

However, Chen Ye drew the peach wood sword, and even if Tomie's consciousness was already blurred at this moment, it had to become clear!
Otherwise you'll be dead!
Complete death, without even the chance to turn into a human head balloon!

After all, the peach wood sword is one of the few things in this world that can be used for salvation.

at the same time……

It has a slaying effect on evil beings! (End of Chapter)
