Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

"What evil spirit curse? This... I feel like you're lying to me?" Xie Qiming's first reaction after hearing Chen Hengyi's explanation was disbelief.

Chen Hengyi smiled and said, "I don't need you to believe me, because even if you don't believe me, you can't take Chen Duoduo away."

Xie Qiming's chest heaved: "What grudge does Duoduo have against you?"

"no."

"Then why did you do this..."

"Because I need to kill the evil spirit that cursed Chen Duoduo. She was a sacrifice chosen by the other party. I'm happy to do anything that makes the enemy unhappy... Otherwise, why do you think I would specifically come and torment this child?"

Chen Hengyi carried Chen Duoduo to the car, saying as they walked, "There are countless people in this world who are more pitiful and miserable than her. My goal is simply to exorcise demons and monsters."

"What if your demon-slaying requires sacrificing her?"

Chen Hengyi paused, turned to look at Xie Qiming, and had to admit that the question was very tricky.

"That won't happen. I'm not that depraved."

Chen Hengyi carried Chen Duoduo into the car, with Xie Qiming following closely behind.

"What are you doing in my car?"

"I'm afraid the gas station won't let me in, so your car looks nicer."

Xie Qiming glanced at the battle-damaged vehicles parked on the other side, as if they had just been towed back from the Middle East battlefield...

Xie Qiming's chest heaved rapidly, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly: "When can I take Duoduo away?"

"Go to Dakeng Fude Temple in Taichung. Once you get there, take her with you. I don't have time to take care of the child."

Having no other choice, Xie Qiming took a few deep breaths and started the vehicle.

The three headed towards Taichung, but Xie Qiming was clearly not a qualified driver, because his eyes kept glancing at Chen Duoduo through the rearview mirror.

To prevent the Great Black Buddha Mother from causing trouble, Chen Hengyi immediately took out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to keep watch, and Chen Duoduo also carried yellow talismans.

Xie Qiming: "Where did you get this knife from?"

He clearly remembered that the other party had nothing on him, so how could he conjure up a meter-long Green Dragon Crescent Blade?

This scene was somewhat beyond Xie Qiming's knowledge.

However, Chen Hengyi didn't want to answer, so he let the other party guess.

After putting Chen Duoduo down, he took out his wallet.

While killing ghosts in the old house, he saw a golden toad appear.

He hadn't had time before, but now he can finally check the state of his wallet.

Upon opening the wallet, besides finding some gold and silver coins and treasures, he discovered a new type of currency he had never seen before.

He took out a piece of paper; it felt slightly cool to the touch, the paper was yellowish, and there were gold and silver dots on both sides, with the face value of ten written on it.

Furthermore, there was a stamp on each side of the banknote, and some small characters next to the stamp, but they were all in tadpole script, which he couldn't understand.

"This is?"

Chen Hengyi waved the banknote in front of the little golden toad and asked, "Little guy, is this ghost money?"

The little golden toad nodded with a smug look on its face.

Chen Hengyi was overjoyed; so this was the legendary ghost money!

Now his drum and gong troupe can finally start working!

Looking inside the wallet, there wasn't much ghost money, but the denominations were different.

Chen Hengyi looked inside the wallet and found that the highest denomination was one thousand.

All the ghost money added up to six thousand one hundred and fifty pieces.

"This is enough to pay the drum troupe two months' salary!" Chen Hengyi thought to himself, overjoyed.

At least there will be accompaniment from now on.

As he was thinking, he suddenly looked up and saw a pair of terrified eyes in the rearview mirror.

"What are you looking at? Drive properly."

Xie Qiming quickly looked away, thinking that this person might be a lunatic.

Otherwise, why would someone talk to their wallet for no reason? Then, for no apparent reason, they suddenly started laughing again...

At this moment, Chen Hengyi suddenly realized that since ghosts in this world have ghost money, it must mean that there must be a place where it is used.

"Sigh, isn't that the legendary ghost market?"

He wasn't interested in those black markets where stolen goods were sold... but he was very interested in ghosts.

The Taiping Guangji records that Lu Dayong, who lived in Chang'an, saw a ghost market at night and saw someone selling dried bones, saying that these were dragon bones and that taking them would cure his illness.

The book *Youyang Zazu* records: "The Ghost Market is a place where people are forbidden to see; anyone who sees it will fall ill, for it is a place of ghosts."

The Ghost Market is a place where pure ghosts gather; the yang energy of the living will clash with the ghost energy, causing illness...

There are ghosts, treasures, and ghost money.

"We need to find a local ghost to find out if there's any ghost market... I wonder if Liu Chenghao's fiancée knows anything about it?"

When Chen Hengyi thought of this, he immediately made a phone call.

"Did your girlfriend reincarnate?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Chenghao gave an affirmative answer.

"Okay, it's alright now..."

Chen Hengyi felt a little regretful. Although he hadn't found any clues about the Ghost Market, he figured that as long as he knew about it, asking around would have been enough.

The car continued driving, and then he stopped thinking about anything and closed his eyes to rest.

Half a day passed, and it was nearly dusk when Xie Qiming's car came to a smooth stop. He said, "We've arrived at Fude Palace according to the address you gave us."

Chen Hengyi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his phoenix eyes. He saw a temple with flourishing incense in front of him. In front of the gate was an incense burner as tall as a person, and the thick incense smoke seemed to reach the sky like wolf smoke.

In front of the temple is a surging river, full of water vapor.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a great river.

After looking around, he realized that there must be some truth to this feng shui, but he had never studied this subject and was a bit confused.

He carried Chen Duoduo out of the car and took out his phone to make a call, but the call was not answered.

But the next second, an old man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old and had a robust physique walked out of the main hall of Fude Palace, followed by a lean young man with blond hair.

As soon as they met, the old man spoke in a strong-voiced Mandarin with a thick Hokkien accent: "You must be that young man surnamed Chen, right? Master Qing already told me to cut the fluff and save the child first. I've already set up the altar and brought the child before Tiger God. No evil spirits would dare to offend him then."

The other party should be the Master Along that Master Aqing mentioned.

Master A Long's tone was somewhat angry, perhaps because Tiger Lord was the guardian of children, and seeing Chen Duoduo being tortured by the Great Black Buddha Mother, an unnamed fire ignited in his heart.

Chen Hengyi carried Chen Duoduo into the Fude Palace, while Master Along cursed as they walked, "Ganlin's mother! What kind of stinking chicken Buddha Mother does he dare to call himself that?"

"Damn it, once this baby is healed, I'll have Jun Kai ask Tiger to go and destroy the evil spirit."

Upon hearing these domineering words, Chen Hengyi could only think that the temple keeper of Tiger Lord was indeed worthy of the title. He didn't take the Great Black Buddha Mother seriously at all.

Okay, very good!

He needs teammates like that, so he can just go and take down that damned Black Buddha Mother!
