Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 76: Opening the altar, magic tricks (please subscribe)
But the more fearful they were, the more confused Chen Yushu became.

What is the identity of Liu Qiaoer's grandmother, the "ghost woman" back then? Why did Wu Hong and Taoist Ma fear her so much? Even though she has been dead for ten years, they still respect her so much?
Even when he just mentioned it briefly and borrowed some of Sister Qiao'er's status, the two of them gave up the idea of continuing to invite them.

Next, perhaps because of Chen Yushu's identity as a ghost, the few people talked without being too concerned about Chen Yushu.

"This time, our Zhenyin Division did suffer a lot of losses, especially Old Wang, who is still recovering from his injuries."

After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Hong couldn't help but sigh.

“This time, it happened a little suddenly.

Otherwise, if Lao Wang is well prepared and sets up a 'magic altar', then even if there are twice as many evil spirits, they will not be able to defeat him."

Taoist Ma shook his head and said.

"That's true.

However, the things that need to be prepared in the early stage of opening the altar are too complicated, especially the talismans for "sealing". If the quantity is not enough, it will easily backfire.

The old king just lacks a strong enough talisman, otherwise the battle would be much easier."

Wu Hong nodded, then looked at Taoist Ma and said, "But speaking of it, Taoist Ma, can you also 'open the altar' now?

You Qingsong Temple has no shortage of talismans, especially the Qingsong Sword. I heard that it has killed more than one evil spirit.

It's really enviable. "

"That is something that belongs exclusively to our Qingsong Temple Master, so don't joke about it.

As for me, I have learned the method of opening the altar, but if I want to truly open the altar, I still need to cultivate the spirit, and I still lack a sufficient 'spirit'."

Taoist Priest Ma was also shaking his head, seeming to have some regrets.

Chen Yushu ate in silence.

Although it was not a full meal, there were a lot of delicious food and wine in the restaurant. It was a rare opportunity for him to have a meal, so he was eating and drinking.

Of course, he also listened to the conversation between the few people.

Especially the word "opening the altar" made a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Open the altar and perform the ritual.

This is the mark of a virtuous person.

In Li Chao's Records of Seeing Ghosts, it was only mentioned once, and it was a scene where he personally witnessed a man opening an altar and capturing and killing an evil spirit alive.

He could clearly feel the envy and yearning in that tone just through the words.

It’s a pity that apart from this, there are no more descriptions about the practice of opening the altar.

Therefore, he was both yearning for and helpless about this aspect, and he really knew nothing about it.

Now, from what they said, it seems that after three incense sticks, we can prepare to learn the ritual of opening the altar?

However, it seems that it requires a 'suppressant' and a 'spirit'?
"Ah, aah, aah, I say enough is enough.

Can you talk about something I can understand?

If you continue like this, I will leave."

However, at this time, the shopkeeper Su on the side was unhappy and slammed the table and said.

"Okay, I forgot Brother Su is still here."

Wu Hong smiled and toasted with a glass of wine, then said: "This time there was such a big commotion, we must investigate that place.

So I looked through the town annals and found that things there might really be something unusual.

There, there is a tomb."

“There must be a tomb.

Otherwise, how could there be so many ghost things hidden there?"

Shopkeeper Su couldn't help but complain.

"It's not an ordinary tomb, but the tomb of a great martial artist."

Wu Hong said softly.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Su sat up straight and asked in a low voice, "Whose is it?"

Wu Hong glanced at Chen Yushu, who was also smart and knew that this was not something he should know, so he asked, "Boss, I just saw a performance outside, can I go out and take a look?"

"Go!"

Shopkeeper Su waved his hand.

Only then did Chen Yushu walk out obediently.

As for the tomb they were talking about, he knew without guessing that it must be in the Shuiliangou.

But this matter has nothing to do with him.

He didn't even want to mess with the little ghosts, let alone the tomb that was hiding countless evil spirits.

After leaving the restaurant, the streets were still bustling, especially around the magic troupe, where there were still many people gathered. Seeing this, he couldn't help but walk over.

As soon as I got closer, a burst of cheers was heard.

From a distance, I saw that it was my neighbor Qin’s father and son who were performing.

At this time, Qin Chuan was tied to a wooden board with his bare chest.

His son Qin Fen, who was only half a person's height when he stood up and looked about six or seven years old, was standing three meters away, holding a flying knife in one hand and gesticulating continuously.

Then a flying knife was thrown out.

Boom!
It fell directly onto the wooden board, only three inches away from Qin Chuan.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, the people around immediately cheered loudly.

Then, Qin Fen swung his knife again, and each knife hit the wooden board accurately. Each knife was very close, but none of them hurt Qin Chuan at all.

Seeing this, Chen Yushu was also amazed.

If Qin Fen's flying knife technique is divided according to the skill level on the attribute panel, it has already reached the level of minor success, which is indeed very good.

Not to mention, Qin Fen looks like he is only six or seven years old.

After the performance, Qin Chuan took Qin Fen and walked around the crowd, collecting tips with a bag. However, after one round, very few people were willing to give money. Some of them were too shy to continue watching and left. The crowd suddenly shrank a lot.

After walking around for a while, the Qin father and son happened to walk to the side of Chen Yushu. The other party recognized him, but did not want to take the reward from him. Just as he was about to walk around, Chen Yushu glanced at his pocket and saw that there was only a hundred coins in total, so he took out a few coins from his pocket and threw them in.

It’s not much, but it’s a thoughtful gesture.

"Thank you, brother!"

Qin Fen said obediently.

After some tipping, the crowd dwindled by half.

“Those with money can support the show with money, and those without money can support the show with their presence.

Next, we will perform a secret trick.

This is something you don’t see normally.”

However, with the sound of a few gongs, an old-looking troupe owner on the stage spoke loudly, and immediately the crowd gathered again.

On the day of the big market, there are indeed a lot of people.

Soon the magic troupe was surrounded by people again.

"Next, the performance is invulnerability."

The old man shouted loudly.

Then, a man came out, a well-dressed young man.

The old man took a knife in his hand, with a scarecrow and a wooden stake beside him. He first chopped the scarecrow with the knife, and with one stroke, it cut the scarecrow in half.

The sword hit the wooden stake and it broke into pieces.

From this, we can see how sharp the knife is.

Then, he took a sip of wine, sprayed it slightly on the blade, and slashed straight at the young man.

"what……"

There was a burst of exclamations one after another.

Many people were so scared that they covered their eyes.

The knife slashed directly at the man, but did not penetrate at all, did not hurt him at all, and only left a white mark on his body.

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.

But some people were dissatisfied and shouted: "It was not cut at all."

Chen Yushu was also amazed. With such a powerful chop, there should be no room for maneuver. Could it be that this man was a martial arts master and his control over the swordsmanship had reached an extremely high level?
Then, he couldn't help but use the Qi-gazing technique.

The art of looking at qi can not only observe the incense and Taoism of the ghost people, but also the qi and blood of the warriors.

The thicker the qi and blood, the stronger the natural strength.

For example, Shopkeeper Su's blood and qi were rising like smoke, while Manager Zhou's blood and qi were like armor. As for the apprentices, their blood and qi were thin like fog, spreading all around...

Anyway, the contrast between strong and weak is very obvious.

At this moment, he looked at the old man. Not only was his blood and energy thin, it was even worse than Manager Zhou's. As for the young man, he was just an ordinary person. There was nothing special about him at all.

This made him curious.

At this time, the old man started to argue with those people who were shouting, and said, "Why don't you come and chop me to see if I am invulnerable to swords and guns."

Some people were dissatisfied after hearing this, and several people stood up immediately.

The old man was not afraid and said, "You can chop it if you want.

One knife costs five taels of silver. If you have money, chop. If you don’t have money, leave.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a few people retreated.

Five taels of silver is not a small amount of money. Who wouldn't feel bad if they gave it away all at once?

But there is no shortage of rich people in this world. The key point is that the old man spoke too aggressively. Some people with bad tempers couldn't help but get angry. But they were still a little worried and asked, "What if he gets hacked to death?"

“Count it on me!

I can sign a life and death agreement for you. If anything happens, I will never trouble you. There are so many people at the scene who can testify to this."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man could no longer sit still. He stepped forward, took out five taels of silver, threw it out, and snatched the knife from the old man's hand.

He tried the knife on the scarecrow first. It was still sharp and cut it in half directly. Then he chopped it on the wooden stake, leaving a deep mark.

Then he hesitated for a moment, raised the knife, and stabbed the young man in the chest.

Just like the old man before, except that a white mark was left on his chest.

The other party was unharmed.

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed.

Some people didn't believe it and paid the same money to try it, but got the same result.

Among them even included a martial artist. Some people around knew him and said he was a disciple of Changfeng Martial Arts School and the young master of the Li family, Mr. Li. There was no way he was a stooge. Then the other party used all his strength to chop him down, but it was the same.

All of a sudden, everyone started cheering.

At this time, the Qin family father and son came forward to receive the reward, and everyone was generous in giving money.

Indeed, if you perform well and satisfy everyone, everyone will be happy and will not care about the few cents or tens of cents.

Chen Yushu watched the whole process and sighed.

This is indeed, very exciting.

The key point is that even with his eyesight that could see as bright as day in the dark, he still couldn't figure out the key, which was really terrifying.

"It's true. Don't underestimate anyone. Any street performer might have one or two unique skills that are hard to guard against."

Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After watching the performance, although I felt like I was being pawed by a cat and was very curious, but this was someone's unique skill, his ability to make a living, and he would definitely not reveal it without just talking about it.

He didn't think too much about it. Remembering that Shopkeeper Su was still in the restaurant, he hurried in that direction.
