Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

According to the ancient book 【Yunji Qiqian】, the Scripture of Salvation that Su Mu recited at this time had the effect of stabilizing the country, spreading the bright Qi in all directions, and delivering the souls of the dead.

He had used all the spells and talismans in this book, and they had produced the corresponding effects.

Therefore, when he heard that there were vengeful ghosts causing trouble in the city, he thought of the contents of this chapter in the ancient book.

The people following behind Su Mu no longer had the disdainful smiles they used to have for magic; their faces were all serious and cold, filled with piety.

"The path of immortality values ​​life, and its blessings extend to all beings..."

As Su Mu chanted, the strange substance that made the darkness even more complex and dense began to melt away like ice and snow.

The bearded man and the others followed behind Su Mu, keeping their eyes down and their minds at ease.

After entering the city, they could see those blurry ghostly figures in the dark corners of their eyes.

Just as the ghostly figures sensed the aura of death emanating from them and tried to crawl out of the deep darkness, Su Mu began chanting scriptures.

After Su Mu chanted the sutra, the strange objects in the darkness became dazed and then instantly turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared into the air.

Wherever they went, the darkness shrouded in night quickly returned to normal.

"Huh~"

As Su Mu passed the high platform set up by the Zhong Kui ghost-catching play in the Hongjia Pear Garden, he slowed his pace and looked surprised.

[Invoking deities (using improper methods)]

Improper spirit writing (initiating a spirit medium session)

at the same time.

The sight of Su Mu and his group appearing in large numbers on the quiet, deserted streets under the night sky also drew the attention of the performers on the high platform.

They were merely playing the roles they were portraying; they did not actually possess the ability to exorcise ghosts.

Seeing Su Mu and his group appear, the actors, who were idly singing their opera, kept following Su Mu and his companions.

"Is this what they mean by 'not using the right method'?"

"After obtaining the 'method,' can one truly invite deities to possess them? Can one engage in spirit writing?"

Su Mu did not stop, but after a slight hesitation, he took another step forward.

The opera performers who took to the stage to sing the story of Zhong Kui catching ghosts were not supernatural beings; it was only the system's sudden reminder that made Su Mu feel somewhat strange and surprised.

After this trip to the General's Tomb at Ping'er Mountain, Su Mu has learned about some of the clues from the system he possesses.

The appearance of strange objects is mostly accompanied by ancient objects.

The two Taoist scriptures that had fallen into his hands, when he placed them in front of Partridge Whistle and the others, were still the same old common, mundane things.

It is available to everyone and can be recited by everyone.

But in his eyes, the arrangement of characters in ancient books is different.

As for talismans.

Su Mu also had Partridge Whistle and a few others try, but strangely, they found that none of them could pick up a pen to draw the talisman that Su Mu had drawn.

Either they can't see the talisman itself, or they can see it, but their mind is in a daze when they try to draw it, so they can't use the power of the talisman itself.

Therefore, this is merely the system's manifestation of power within Su Mu himself, which is inaccessible to others.

"It's late, shall we leave it at that for tonight?"

Uncle Beard and the others followed Su Mu to the slums in the west of the city, where they paused and asked.

Su Mu nodded: "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Everyone should get a good rest for the night. I think everyone should have a better understanding of the situation by now. Please keep this trip to Ping'er Mountain a secret for me."

The bearded man and the others nodded in succession, looking serious and attentive.

After watching the bearded man and the others leave.

Partridge Whistle and his two companions cupped their hands in greeting and said, "Then we'll go find an inn or hotel to rest. As for this money..."

Su Mu raised his hand and laughed, "We haven't found the Muchen Pearl yet, do you think I'm afraid you'll run off with the money? Go ahead."

Partridge Whistle nodded, and then turned and left with his junior brothers and sisters.

After a while.

Su Mu returned to the dilapidated thatched hut that had not been fully repaired before.

The Su family's original courtyard was not here, but in a wealthy residential area in the city.

However, after Su's father died, the Huo family stopped supporting the Su family under the pretext of medical treatment.

Su's mother had no business acumen, so in order to make a living, she simply sold the old house and brought Su Mu to live in a thatched hut slum, which was said to be the ancestral home where the Su family made their fortune.

Unexpectedly, less than a year later, Su's mother passed away, leaving behind Su Mu, who had just turned five at the time.

After the series of misfortunes befell the Su family, some members of the Huo family felt pity for them and thus intensified their desire to help Su Mu, the orphan.

They provided food, clothing, and medicine.

"Who did the house go to? I think it was one of the Nine Gates. I was young then, and my mother didn't take me with her when she bought and sold the house. I didn't have time to ask her afterwards."

"Never mind, when it gets light, all my previous doubts will probably be answered."

Su Mu pushed open the door and entered, lying down on the bed looking slightly tired.

He didn't feel the same kind of physical or mental exhaustion as the ordinary people around him, but he was somewhat mentally and physically worn out from thinking and thinking too much during this trip.

After lying down, Su Mu quickly fell asleep.

The others in the slum also returned home one after another, sharing their experiences with their families.

However, they all remained silent about Su Mu's extraordinary and unusual qualities.

"Father, you don't know, after you left, this place that people in the city used to call a godforsaken place has suddenly blossomed with bright flowers everywhere."

In front of the bearded man, his little daughter with a ponytail jumped into her father's arms with a smile.

"Yes, sir. Not only have flowers grown in abundance, but some herbs have also sprouted. Although I don't recognize them, the lady next door knows a bit about them and took me to pick those herbs. We sold them in town and made quite a bit of money."

The woman, warming up leftovers for her husband and pouring cheap, multigrain-based liquor, happily recounted the strange things that had happened in the slums over the past few days.

The little girl sat in her father's lap and sniffed hard: "Daddy, smell! Can you smell that pleasant floral scent? It's neither too strong nor too weak, it smells so good!"

The bearded man listened to his wife and daughter's words, a smile playing on his lips.

When they returned, they discovered it.

The slum, which was originally filled with a dilapidated, old and dim atmosphere, now appeared with a warm glow under the night sky.

"Not only that, sir, I've heard something even stranger. Weren't people here often sick from leaky roofs and catching a cold on rainy nights? Now, none of them are like that anymore. They miraculously recover overnight. And also…"

The wife continued talking about the series of good things that had happened around her in the past few days.

The bearded man's smile grew brighter and brighter as he listened.

The other people living here probably don't know that the root cause of all these good things happening to them, who were trapped by fate and settled in the slums of poverty, and who began to get better, must be that young master of the Su family!

The older generation says that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.

The young master of the Su family, who had been ill for more than ten years, suddenly recovered, and his good fortune will surely continue to come!
