Chapter 101: Fasting, praying, and pretending to be dirty

Yang He always pays attention to the unusual things happening in Peibai City.

As the days passed, the negative energy was gathering inside the yamen.

The calm before the storm lasted late into the night.

The temperature returned to freezing overnight.

Especially within a thousand meters of the yamen, you can see that frost has condensed on the walls, and giant hungry ghosts are leaning over and clinging to Peibai City, their breathing becoming heavier.

"Well."

Yang He opened his eyes and a ghost body appeared behind him.

The heart, liver, and kidneys have been installed, and the ghost body has begun to take shape, but the area where the spleen is missing has started to show abnormalities and is greedily devouring the Yin energy.

Yang He vaguely sensed that there was an evil spirit growing in the government office.

This evil spirit is very suitable for fitting into the spleen of a ghost's body, so it is definitely not a hungry ghost.

"Didn't the Grand Monk intend to expel the giant hungry ghost? They deliberately chose the late night and made the government office look gloomy..."

Yang He said nothing and walked out of the room.

He originally planned to see what Dasi was capable of. Similar situations of giant hungry ghosts were by no means uncommon in the main world. There must be something special about Dasi that he had been able to survive for two thousand years.

"Heizi, let's go."

Yang He transformed himself into a temple priest and stepped on the ground, and a black cat jumped out from the corner.

The black cat skillfully blended into the shadow, and then black mist enveloped Yang He. The man and the cat disappeared silently into the night.

It didn't take long.

Yang He has appeared on the roof of a theater.

The theater is close to the government office and is the best place to watch movies.

Yang He sat cross-legged openly, with Yin fire replacing Yang fire, and with the leather Taoist robe and the pupil ghost's concealed breath, there was no flaw at all.

He had tried many times, but the pupil ghost monk could not detect him.

He looked around the government office and then focused his attention on the parade ground.

The ground is covered with array patterns painted with cinnabar, but its function is only to gather negative energy. The key is a temporary altar built at the center of the array.

The offerings were indistinguishable, and looked like three strange masses of flesh and blood.

"This thing..."

Yang He frowned slightly, the altar felt familiar.

Like the invitation to gods during the Nuwa Palace festival?
Yang He became more and more confused, but he didn't find any evil spirit. He could only continue to watch patiently while making preparations to escape.

After Sun Qi finished his work on the altar, he asked the detectives to leave the yamen. "Master Lei, we have confirmed that there are no omissions. We can start the fasting and praying to the gods."

Fasting and offering sacrifices to gods?

Yang He raised his eyebrows. Isn't this just the traditional Taoist ritual of worshiping gods?

"Master Lei."

Captain Sun asked with a shudder, "I wonder if it's my illusion, but the evil spirit seems to be getting closer and closer to the world of the living?"

"kindness."

Lei Dechang spoke calmly as he drew pieces of yellow paper and pasted them on the altar.

"Mortals usually believe that disasters are caused by evil spirits, and they easily reach a consensus, which eventually leads to hundreds of thousands of people seeing ghosts collectively."

"I see."

Captain Sun and the other two had solemn expressions on their faces; after all, they were facing the horrifying existence of the fourth level of hell.

Lei Dechang squatted beside the altar and posted all the last talismans. The overlapping talismans formed a ghost face.

"There is no time to lose. The barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds is weak at midnight."

Captain Sun and the other two calmed down, revealing a sinister aura.

They all took elixirs without any prior agreement, trying their best to conceal their yang energy, and even stabbed their chests with sharp weapons to slow down their vitality.

Lei Dechang raised his head without hesitation, staring directly at the giant hungry ghost, muttering to himself, "I believe the heavens are clearing the yellow road, and auspicious clouds and auspicious lights are shining."

Roar! ! !
The giant hungry ghost opened its upper and lower jaws in excitement, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth.

It stuck out its tongue, intending to swallow Lei Dechang in one bite.

"We respectfully burn incense, face the altar, and report to the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods, the Emperors of the Heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the officials of the Three Realms..."

Lei Dechang was still talking to himself, and a small hand with pupils in the palm appeared in his eye sockets.

boom.

The tongue deviated from its direction, and a cold wind swept over.

Captain Sun and his two companions were responsible for keeping the candles lit. If any talismans were missing, they would immediately replace them to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony.

Yang He’s spiritual vision suddenly increased, and the fourth layer of hell suddenly became turbulent.

Lei Dechang's dealings with the giant hungry ghost were extremely dangerous, but Yang He had no time to care about it. The two ghosts in his body gave warnings and his heart was beating wildly.

[Spiritual Vision: 1347.3 points]

Rumble.

The mountains rise and fall like a blooming lotus, and strange visions of the four levels of hell occur frequently.

Lei Dechang was covered in blood, but he didn't dare to stop chanting, "There are many things to do in Jialiang Water Town today, I hope Fuduanxing will come!!"

"Fu Duanxing." Yang He realized that they were indeed praying to the gods.

You are inviting ghosts and gods!
The fourth layer of hell was shrouded in a thick fog that looked like the beginning of chaos. At this moment, a creepy sound came from it, as if...

It seemed that some indescribable ghosts and gods were approaching Peibai City.

Lei Dechang is only at the level of a fierce ghost and has not yet undergone three resuscitations, so he can only see the second level of hell. The other cultivators can only see the first level of hell.

Only Yang He actually faced the so-called fasting and offering sacrifices to the gods.

The offerings were reduced to ashes.

Hehehe~

A strange cry similar to that of a pig with its throat strangled echoed, as if it had some kind of evil nature and drilled straight into the eardrum.

Yang He closed his eyes and summoned the panel, ready to go to the world of allusions at any time.

suddenly.

The mountains stopped spewing out dark energy.

Yang He narrowed his eyes and saw a tongue breaking through the mist out of the corner of his eye.

[Spiritual Vision: 1401.1 points] The tongue has no end in sight, just like the giant snake that encircles the world in Norse mythology, spanning the three levels of hell through fasting and praying to the gods.

The surface of the tongue was covered with dense pustules, from which foul-smelling pus oozed.

【Fuduanxing】

"Fuduanxing should be the ghost god that originates from hungry ghosts, existing in the four levels of hell."

Lei Dechang was on the verge of death and barely survived by sacrificing his entire right arm. After the chanting was finished, he did not dare to delay and came to the altar to wait.

Captain Sun and his two companions were slightly better off, but their Yin energy was almost completely depleted.

Whoosh.

The tongue pierced through the chest of the giant hungry ghost. No matter how the latter struggled, it was useless and was being pulled back to the fourth level of hell little by little.

Lei Dechang panted, "Come to the altar quickly, and remember not to absorb the Yin energy!!"

For them, the deadly danger is far from over. In front of ghosts and gods, the evil spirits are just bigger ants.

Mortals can no longer bear the slightest bit of breath leaked from ghosts and gods.

The atmosphere in the yamen became foul.

Captain Sun's stomach churned, and after just a few steps he vomited a large amount of minced meat. His body shrank, and the other two people also vomited continuously.

The minced meat looked like a living thing, with distorted facial features growing on it.

Evil spirits are bred from it.

"Keep calm and suppress the instinct of the ghost in your body to absorb Yin energy."

Lei Dechang used the pupil ghost to attract the negative energy and tried his best to prevent the three people from coming into contact with the filth of ghosts and gods, otherwise their intestines would soon be ruptured.

Captain Sun and his two companions crawled to the altar in a panic.

I felt relieved when I saw the talisman was able to keep out the filth.

The evil spirit bred in the minced meat has already formed limbs, and its skin has become translucent, so its rotten internal organs can be seen.

And in a short time, he touched the perfection of the weak ghost, and his eyes became resentful.

"Master Lei..."

"The coming of Fuduan Star will be accompanied by the birth of the Filth-Eating Ghost. As long as no one absorbs the filth, the Filth-Eating Ghost will not be a threat to us."

The giant hungry ghost roared unwillingly and was dragged back to the second level of hell.

Lei Dechang had experienced many fasting and prayer ceremonies to invite gods, and he did not panic even when he was seriously injured, and he did not even take the filth-eating ghost seriously.

"Sun Qi, be careful for the next few days. After the ghosts and gods came to Jialiang Water Town, there will inevitably be..."

Before Lei Dechang finished speaking, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The filthy and negative energy spread out like ripples.

It seems that someone is absorbing the filthy Yin Qi, and the Yin Qi content in the government office is now enough to create a filth-eating ghost of the level of a fierce ghost! !

Lei Dechang put out two fires and was completely powerless to stop it.

"Sun Qi!"

"How many times have I reminded you that no outsiders are allowed to participate in fasting and praying to the gods? Do you think the dozens of ghosts you raise are just eating for free?!"

Lei Dechang was thinking about a solution, but found that no one responded to him.

He glanced at the pupils in his palm.

Captain Sun and the other two stared at the main gate in the distance in astonishment, their expressions full of disbelief, and they even stopped breathing subconsciously.

Lei Dechang looked over quickly and saw a figure walking slowly towards him.

Precisely.

It was a lifeless corpse.

The Yin Fire was burning fiercely, and red hair was growing wildly on the scarred skin. The body grew taller, and the sharp teeth were flashing cold light. The corpse poison that could kill instantly with a single blow was spreading within ten meters.

"It really is... a corpse fairy."

"The Corpse Immortal from Three Thousand Years Ago!!"

Only after Lei Dechang saw it with his own eyes did he completely believe that what Captain Sun said was true.

The corpse immortal had no flaws at all, even though his aura was no more than that of an evil ghost, the oppressive feeling it brought to him was even greater than that of a giant hungry ghost.

The filth-eating ghost went towards the corpse fairy, wanting to devour the flesh paste that the latter vomited out.

In an instant.

The filth-eating ghost let out a hysterical wail, eye pupils popped out all over its body, and light red fire burned every inch of its flesh, blood and bones.

boom.

The filth-eating ghost exploded.

The pupil ghost of the corpse fairy left its body and hung above his head. Lei Dechang noticed that a ghost body appeared behind it. The ghost body was badly damaged, but it did not look like an ordinary creature.

boom.

The filthy and negative energy swallowed up the ghost like a whale and poured into its body.

A new filth-eating ghost was taking shape, but before it could get out of the ghost body, it was already being refined, and a fresh spleen was born.

Lei Dechang was speechless, and then the corpse fairy disappeared into the night.

In a moment, the corpse immortal had disappeared into the mountains of Peibai City.

"Master Lei, who... who is he?"

Lei Dechang suddenly remembered something and took out the sound transmission note from his arms.

He had previously asked his fellow Taoist to look through the folklore books on the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, and it seemed that the other party had responded, but he just had not had the energy to check.

Among the information in the sound transmission notes, there are very few clues found in folk books.

But there is one thing that is extremely strange.

The original versions of many mythological stories are already incomplete, and the stories were completed by later generations. The missing words and phrases seem to hide something.

Lei Dechang was completely confused and had no idea where the corpse immortal came from.

boom.

The ghost's tongue disappeared.

The altar suddenly broke into pieces. Lei Dechang came to his senses and didn't even realize that his injuries almost affected his foundation. The other three people hurried to clean up the mess.

The spring breeze blew, and after the sudden cold and warming, dense drizzle covered the Jialiang water town.

No one would pay attention to a father and son who were hurriedly buying seasonal vegetables at the market.
