Day and night tour

Chapter 180 The Hundred-Eyed High Priest

Zhou Xuan also studied some ancient books about spirit possession today, and it turned out that his own tattoo could be used to possess spirits.

"A totem is the embodiment of a god. When a totem is placed on one's body and one's perception merges with the totem, one can then draw upon the power of the god. However, I heard there are many taboos."

"I do know the taboos."

This time, Xueshu taught in great detail, imparting knowledge about materials and needle techniques, and also taught three taboos of tattooing.

There is no special requirement for the materials of the three tattoos. The blood of whoever wants to make the tattoos will be used.

However, there are some requirements for the person getting the tattoo, depending on whether his physique is strong enough.

Carrying the totem of the god on your body, those with weak bodies cannot do it.

This is also commonly known as "seeing whether the horoscope is hard or not".

"Xiao Zhou, the further back you get this tattoo, the more severe the backlash will be once the taboo is violated.

When burning a stick of incense, it violates the taboo of tattooing, which means that people can see the dirt and play some tricks.
But now, tattoos are being made on living people, and the backlash is that at best they will be haunted by nightmares, and at worst they will be devoured by evil spirits."

After Yun Ziliang gave Zhou Xuan instructions, he went downstairs, turned back halfway and stretched out his hand.

"Do what?"

"Card fee."

"Have you never won before?" Zhou Xuan took out a green hundred-yuan note from his pocket and slapped it on Yun Ziliang's hand: "Don't bet so big, or you will lose all my money."

"I, Yun Ziliang, can use this one hundred yuan to win two hundred thousand yuan without any problem..."

"Go, go, go! I'm very familiar with this word of yours." Zhou Xuan waved his hand in disgust.

After Yun Ziliang left, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and rested again. With the help of the monk looking at the moon, his energy gradually replenished.

He finally sensed the connection between himself and the divine revelation again, as well as... Li Chengfeng's call.

"High Priest, I have brought new news. Please come down."

After receiving the secret letter from Zhou Lingyi, Li Chengfeng began looking for Zhou Xuan.

But Zhou Xuan did not respond. Li Chengfeng had no choice but to look for Zhou Xuan every half an hour through the link to the Blood Well.

"finally come."

Zhou Xuan walked into the Scarlet Moon, descended into Li Chengfeng's body, and quickly asked, "What's the news?"

"Master Zhou asked you to complete the information of the ancient tattoo tribe!"

"Old Li, please make a trip to the first drawer of my counter and take out a letter with the information I have completed. I don't have enough energy, so I can't stay here for too long."

"clear."

Zhou Xuan received a response and without wasting a moment, he quickly exited the descending state.

This time, Zhou Xuan came and fought quickly, so he was not too embarrassed. He was just a little tired.
But he no longer had time to relax and relax, he had more important things to do.

He took a piece of white paper, folded it casually, put it in his pocket, then took out the Book of Cleansing Wrongs, unscrewed the pen, and wrote a line of words.

"Zhou's Jingyi Shop, East Market Street, Mingjiang Prefecture, August 29th."

Zhou Xuan entered the gap in time and space.

In the gap of time and space, even the link of divine revelation can be cut off.

He took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, spread it out on the desk in his bedroom, and wrote down on the paper all the information he had collected about the ancient tattoo tribe, no matter how big or small.

Ballads of a Hundred Ghosts, Links to Ancient Clans, East Market Street, Nether Stone, Jade Gate, Hundred Eyes, Copper Coins, etc. were all spilled on paper along with ink.

After finishing writing and confirming that there was nothing missing, Zhou Xuan folded the white paper into small pieces of tofu and stuffed them into his pocket. After breaking the crack in time and space, he went down to the outer hall of the store.

He opened the first drawer of the counter, looked up at the ceiling, and then reached into his pocket without thinking, took out the letter, threw it into the drawer, and closed it.

After doing all this, Zhou Xuan went to the backyard to watch the fish.

There has always been a fish raised in the backyard. It was bought by Zhou Xuan when he first learned that he was being targeted by the Tattoo Ancient Clan.

The store usually prepares some dry buns to feed the fish.
Zhou Xuan sat on the bench, breaking up the steamed buns and throwing them into the basin, while listening to the noise outside.

Time passed by,

Half an hour later, there was finally some noise outside the store, starting with three car horns.

Then there was a twitching sound from the counter drawer.

Then there were the sounds of leaving footsteps.

Li Chengfeng has already taken the letter.

"To build a dense network, we need to recruit more people. It will be too difficult for Lao Li to rely on him alone."

Zhou Xuan pondered in his heart.

……

Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu sat under the ancestral tree, waiting for Zhou Xuan's secret letter.

Finally, the lantern reappeared.

After reading the secret letter, Zhou Lingyi said to Yuan Buyu: "The Tattoo Ancient Clan is too cunning."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Buyu asked.

"Mingjiang Prefecture is a big city, especially the prefectural city. The supervision of the Parade of Gods is very strict. If people from other prefectures enter with more than six incense sticks, they will be monitored by the instruments at the entrance to the city and the train station. Then the Parade of Gods will interrogate, record, and track them to prevent people with high incense from causing trouble in the prefectural city.

Therefore, it is difficult for the two priests of the Tattoo Ancient Clan, Tongqian and Baiyan, as well as the other masters of the Ancient Clan who are above the level of Six Incense Sticks, to enter the city of Mingjiang Prefecture. Even if they enter, they will be monitored. "

Zhou Lingyi said: "So the ancient tribe's Yumen High Priest spread the rumor of a hundred ghosts twenty-three years ago.

The origin of the Hundred Ghosts Ballad is very mysterious, and it seems to be linked to the entire Tattoo Clan. One person can lead the entire Ancient Clan to descend to the capital city, bypassing the magical monitoring of the Wandering God Department and the Bone Elders Association!"

Yuan Buyu's already relaxed mood became melancholy.

Judging from the advance layout of the tattoo, the ancient clan had already predicted Zhou Xuan’s sudden emergence twenty-three years ago!

Not only can it make predictions, it even has ingenious means of layout. Bai Gui Yao's move is truly ingenious.

He was able to bypass the strict supervision of magical instruments and allow all the masters of the ancient clan to gather in Mingjiang Mansion at the same time.

It was too easy for the two great priests of the Tattoo Ancient Clan, plus an unknown total number of masters above six incense sticks, to nail Zhou Xuan to death.

No matter how many bodyguards Zhou Xuan arranged around him, they could not defeat the power of one clan.

“It’s wonderful, but man proposes, God disposes. The Dark Stone that the Ancient Clan was looking for the Hundred Ghosts Ballad accidentally fell into the hands of my brother.

They probably didn’t find Bai Gui Yao either, even though they knew Bai Gui Yao was in Dongshi Street.”

Zhou Lingyi said: "Then let's not let the ancient tribe find Bai Gui Yao."

Yuan Buyu also had this idea and said, "The people of the Tattoo Ancient Clan must have arranged some people to search for Bai Gui Yao in Dongshi Street."

"I'll find someone to guard East Market Street and clear out all the tattooed tribesmen."

Zhou Lingyi drew the blood talisman again and delivered the latest news to Master Jiu and Master Jian. …

That night, on the hill east of Dongshi Street, stood a tall man in a long gown.

At his left and right feet, there was a long wooden box, three feet long and one foot high, with a lifting rope on each box.

He wore a pair of brown glasses and looked at the pedestrians on Dongshi Street.

Time seemed non-existent to him. One hour, two hours passed, and his hands and feet did not move at all, like a stone sculpture standing on the mountain.

……

In the Yunluo Mountains, at the sacrificial site, there was no one in front of the Human Skin Temple.

The copper coin priest, leaning on a crutch, walked slowly towards the cave in the back mountain of the ancient tribe.

That is where the High Priest of the Hundred Eyes is in seclusion.

"High Priest, I am copper coin."

The copper coin priest walked to the front of the cave, but did not dare to enter rashly. He stopped at the entrance and called out softly.

"come in."

The Hundred-Eyed High Priest sat cross-legged on a huge rock in the cave.

He was shirtless.

There are hundreds of pairs of "eyes" tattooed on his body, and now all of his eyes are closed.

"High Priest, the High Priest of Yumen lost his dark stone and it was picked up by the Nuo God."

The High Priest of Copper Coin lowered his head and said to Baiyan.

"You took so long to tell me about it?" The High Priest of the Hundred Eyes sounded blaming, but he was not really angry.

"Alas... Peng Long and Peng Hu are both dead, and the Dark Stone is lost. I am a failure."

“These aren’t the worst things.”

The High Priest of the Hundred Eyes said, “I feel like the Blood Well has abandoned me! I can see the Blood Well, but the connection between the Blood Well and me is getting weaker and weaker, and I haven’t received a response to my divination.

If I had the Blood Well sensor, I might not need the Nether Stone of the Jade Gate High Priest, and I would have a chance to find the Hundred Ghosts Ballad."

"High Priest, our ancient clan's luck has run out."

"What instructions does the ancestor have?" Baiyan opened his eyes and asked the copper coin priest.

"The ancestor asked us to follow the original plan and keep an eye on the Nuo God. When the Nuo God's incense becomes more popular, we will take action!"

The copper coin priest told everything.

"The ancestor does not want to miss this opportunity! It has been three hundred years. The ancestor does not want to wait any longer. We do not want to wait any longer either. The Tattoo Ancient Clan also does not have time to wait any longer. Let the four brothers of the Shi family lurk in East Market Street and search door to door."

The Hundred Eyes High Priest sighed and said, "If there is really no other way, then we can only do it in the wilderness like we did when we nailed the four great Nuos! The nine Nuo sects cannot stay in Mingjiang City all the time. We just need to see the whereabouts of the Nuo gods in advance and ambush them in advance.
Alas, the blood well is still needed.

Copper Coin Priest, please go out first. I will continue to try to sense the blood well!"

The countless eyes on the body of the High Priest of a Hundred Eyes were obtained by performing "blessing ceremonies" again and again in the blood well.

If he were abandoned by the Blood Well, the eyes on his body would not be so magical, and his Taoism would be wasted.

"God of the Blood Well, I am your most loyal believer, please do not abandon me."

……

The sky was bright and Zhou Xuan's spirit had recovered well.

Xiao Fuzi has already bought breakfast.
After Zhou Xuan finished eating, he continued to look through the ancient books on spirit possession.

It was past ten o'clock when staff from the Mingjiang Prefecture Telegraph Office came to install the telephone.

During this period, telegraph business volume was large, while telephone business was small, and the telephone was just a subsidiary department of the telegraph office.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhou?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xuan nodded.

"Please check the business form." The staff handed over a document.

Zhou Xuan confirmed the address, name and phone number and signed.

"It's OK, Mr. Driver. He ordered an automatic phone for me."

"Sir, this phone is very expensive. Only wealthy people can afford it."

The staff smiled and started to have their accomplices build long stairs, climb telephone poles, and install telephones.

The phone was finally installed from morning to afternoon.

The phone was placed on the counter and many neighbors came over to look.

After all, it is a new thing and the neighbors are curious.

"Boss Zhou's business is so good that he even installed a telephone?"

"Is Jingyi Shop so profitable?"

"I suspect that Boss Zhou sews up corpses during the day and secretly sells opium at night."

"It's all over. Not only did they check my phone number, they also plotted against me."

Zhou Xuan had sharp ears and waved his hands to disperse the neighbors.

In addition to installing a telephone, the staff also gave me a phone book.

It's not free, it's included in the installation fee. There are two types of phone books. One is like a newspaper, quite large, and nailed to the wall.

One is a hardcover, thick book.

Siming was rich, so of course he chose the latter for Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan took the phone and, following the instructions on the phone book, dialed the operator's number and asked him to transfer to the Zhou family line.

Automatic telephone, no need to find an operator to dial within the city.

However, the connection between governments requires an operator.

After a while, a familiar voice came from the phone.

"I'm Xu Li, the deputy manager of the Zhou family. Do you need to hire a ghost opera troupe?"

"Sister-in-law, I am Xuanzi..." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

ps: Good brothers, the second update is here, muah.
