Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 32: Burning Incense to Fulfill a Vow
At this time, this family was holding a lantern. An old woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties, with her hair wrapped in gray cloth, looked as if she was facing a great enemy.

“Originally, if the baby wakes up, basically there’s nothing serious.

But since he dreamed that thing followed him home, it was scary.”

The old woman spoke in a low voice, “So, I must invite it over and negotiate with it to let your child go.

Otherwise, as long as your child gets wet, you should be careful of its revenge.

Moreover, if this matter is not resolved, it will keep targeting your family, first the little kid, then your grandson, son, and yourself..."

Beside her, the old man's face changed, and he quickly said, "Grandma Sun, you are an expert. We will do whatever you say. Everything is up to you."

"Now that I'm here, of course I'll help you take care of it."

The old woman was confident. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly turned her head and looked beyond the backyard fence. "Here they come."

"what……"

The old man was also shocked.

Silently, a figure was standing there.

In the darkness, the vision was blurred and I could only tell from the other person's clothes that it was a woman. She had long, wet hair that was draped over her face, looking very scary.

“Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner.

This kid is still young and is not your enemy.

You can either raise your hand and let the kid go, in which case the master of the family will be easy to talk to. Afterwards he will offer sacrifices, burn incense and worship you to increase your good karma.

If not, even though I am an old woman with limited skills, I will still fight with you."

The grandma took two steps forward, fiddling with something in her hands and muttering something.

"That's impossible."

Then, she seemed to be listening to something, and then quickly shook her head.

It actually looked like he was communicating with the other party and negotiating terms.

After a long while, the two finally seemed to have reached an agreement. The old woman turned her head, looked at the old man, and said, "Tomorrow morning, place a chicken and a duck on the shore, burn three incense sticks, and let the child kneel there to pay tribute, and the matter will be settled.

But it’s better not to let this kid wade in water in the future.

He lacks water in his destiny and is born with good luck. Once he enters the water, he will be easily targeted by this thing.

The things in the water are all filled with resentment, and they come to me with requests. The child is still young and has no skills, and if he can't catch them, he will easily die."

The old woman spoke directly to the old man.

While she was talking, the figure outside the door seemed to have really compromised, and walked back towards the river step by step...

……

The next day, Chen Yushu woke up at the sound of roosters crowing.

After washing up, he walked straight through the backyard and along the path towards the river.

Soon, we arrived at the shore where we often stayed.

It is already autumn now, and the wind blowing in the early morning is cool.

However, all these days of training were not in vain. Chen Yushu's physique was much better than before. He did not feel cold even in a thin shirt.

Then, without any hesitation, he started practicing the standing meditation.

The Medicine King Posture, combined with breathing techniques, has a unique beauty in every move.

Soon, his body shook.

His breathing seemed to be in harmony with the entire world. His whole body was shaking violently, and countless fine beads of sweat poured out of his body.

At the same time, an intense warmth emerged from his body and rushed throughout his body.

Yaowang Zhuang Gong +1
Chen Yushu panted, sat down to rest, raised his head and looked around, and saw an old man and a young man standing on the river bank about ten feet away from him. They were standing on the river bank with offerings in front of them, as if they were worshipping something.

"It's them?"

When Chen Yushu was practicing before, he had actually felt someone approaching, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that he saw the two people clearly, his expression changed.

He had seen both of these people.

It just happened to be the old man surnamed Wu who was shouting "Help" in the drugstore yesterday and the young man who was possessed by evil spirits and "fell to death".

At this time, the young man had woken up. He followed the old man surnamed Wu and knelt down three times facing the river.

“It seems that Grandma Sun is really capable and helped him solve the problem directly.

However, what they are doing now, according to the "Records of Li Chao's Ghosts", is called paying off a vow with incense, which means that Grandma Sun only helped him out of the predicament, but the dead body was not eliminated. It is still there... and not far from the surrounding waters."

Chen Yushu's eyelids twitched slightly.

But I know that "burning incense to fulfill a vow" must be within a certain range around the dead body to be effective.

Since the grandfather and grandson chose to place the sacrifice here, it must mean that the dead person actually existed in the surrounding waters.

Thinking about how he practiced martial arts and read books and practiced throwing techniques around here every day, his face turned a little dark.

This is really——

At this time, the grandfather and grandson finished their worship and walked back without stopping.

When passing by Chen Yushu, the old man smiled and greeted him, "Young man, are you from the Liu family's pharmacy?"

"Correct."

Chen Yushu nodded in response.

"That's great. Unlike me, I have a hard life."

As he spoke, he glanced at his grandson and said, "I can't make a living in Jiangli anymore, and I don't know what to do.

I wish I could go to the Liu family pharmacy like you."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

As a neighbor, he knew how high the threshold to enter the Liu family pharmacy was.

A precious medicine worth dozens of taels of silver, or a precious fish of equal value... this is equivalent to the food expenses of an ordinary family for nearly ten years.

Even if he was lucky enough to catch a precious fish, he would not be willing to give it away.

After all, there are several mouths to feed at home.

A grandson is, after all, just a grandson.

Not to mention, as experienced fishermen with decades of experience, they know how difficult it is to catch the treasure fish. Even if they are caught in the net, with their strength, they can break free and escape from the net.

Over the years, he would only occasionally hear that someone had caught a precious fish, and each time it would cause a sensation among the fishermen.

Chen Yushu smiled and did not answer.

The old man surnamed Wu didn't think of getting an answer from him, and he pulled the boy home.

Chen Yushu originally planned to stop practicing and go to another place to practice, but when he looked around, he found that this place was the most suitable.

He thought that after all, a dead person has to go into the water to harm others. He was on the shore and it was broad daylight, so he thought the other party would not dare to come ashore and harm others.

So he found a place to sit down, picked up the book "Li Chao's Ghost Records" again, and started reading it.

This time, what he saw happened to be a list of cases of people dying in the river.

It tells the story of a professional corpse carrier at the dock who encounters a dead case and finally asks Li Chao to get rid of him.
