"It's all hearsay. Miss Green Sleeve, you don't need to scare yourself. Moreover, you're a member of the Bai Family. Who doesn't know that you're a famous exorcist family? How could any evil spirit dare to invade your home? "Shen Luo comforted her.
"That's true. Haha … Anyway, as long as it's not a devil, any ordinary monster or ghost, any one of the Patriarch and the Elders will be enough to destroy it." The little girl laughed to herself.
Hearing this, Shen Luo frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "Miss Green Sleeve, do you know about the Bai Family's exorcism?"
"That was a matter from a hundred years ago. Apart from the elders, only the elderly know some inside information. Naturally, I don't know anything about it. However, I recently heard some rumors about exorcism. I don't know how much of it is true or false. "Green Sleeve frowned and thought for a while before changing the topic.
"Since there's nothing else, why don't you tell me about it?" Shen Luo asked curiously.
"Alright, I'll tell you about it. Outside of Jian Ye City, near the Purple Cloud Mountain, there is a place called Peach Blossom Village … "Lu Xiu seemed to have opened her mouth and began to narrate.
It turned out that there was a huge peach tree in this place called Peach Blossom Village since ancient times. The people of the village had multiplied for many generations, but no one knew when this ancient tree originated. They only knew that it was no less than a thousand years old.
According to legend, this ancient peach tree bloomed every year, but it never bore fruit for hundreds of years. Although the villagers were puzzled, they still regarded this ancient peach tree as an auspicious sign and took good care of it.
However, one year, when the peach blossoms were at their peak, a demonic wind suddenly descended from the sky. It wrapped in thick black smoke and surrounded the peach tree, making it impossible for the villagers to approach. The branches and leaves on the peach tree quickly withered and fell to the ground.
At that time, a villager named Qin Shouan held a torch and a hatchet in order to protect the peach tree. He wanted to drive away the demonic wind, but not only did he fail, he also lost his life.
After that, the demonic wind became even more rampant. Not only did it control Qin Shouan, but it also controlled many wild cats and wild boars to attack the villagers.
The villagers were suffering unspeakably, so they pooled their money to hire immortal masters from outside to subdue the demon. In the end, three or four of them went in a row, but they were all meat buns thrown to the dogs, and none of them returned.
In the end, in order to save her father, the Village Chief's daughter went through a lot of hardships to come to Jian Ye City for help. Along the way, she happened to meet a hero who was in his fasting period. Touched by the girl's filial piety, she followed the hero to the Peach Blossom Village to subdue the demon. However, she discovered that the demon was a demon with a high cultivation level. The Village Chief, Qin Shou An, and many other animals in the mountains had been demonized by the demon, becoming extremely bloodthirsty and cruel.
The hero soon fell into a bitter battle. Finally, he managed to save the entire village, but his whereabouts were unknown.
"What about that Yao Feng? Was he killed?" Shen Luo asked after hearing the story.
"The rumors didn't say anything about it. But since the Peach Blossom Village has been free of Demons since then, it should have been killed." Green Sleeve thought for a while and said.
Shen Luo muttered to himself. However, he faintly felt that it was extremely likely that 'Yao Feng' had not been truly killed. However, it was likely that only that 'hero' alone knew the exact situation.
After Green Sleeve finished speaking, she chatted with Shen Luo about other rumors and anecdotes.
Not long after, Bai Xiao Tian came to urge them to start a banquet. Only then did they stop talking.
Shen Luo changed into a brand new round neck green robe and put the stone box back on his body. Only then did he follow Bai Xiao Tian to the banquet.
…
At night, Shen Luo planned to take out the jade pendant and check the "Pure Yang Manual" recorded in it. However, not long after he returned to his room, sleepiness hit him and he fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept for. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his body. His body shivered and he subconsciously reached out to grab the quilt beside him. However, he didn't manage to grab the quilt. Instead, his hand touched something cold and hard.
Shen Luo frowned at first, but then he suddenly opened his eyes and his consciousness was instantly awakened.
He sat up abruptly. Immediately, there was a "clank" sound beside him. It turned out that a few short spears had fallen from his body, colliding with each other and rolling to the ground.
Shen Luo looked down and saw that they were the flaming short spears that he had obtained from Commander Wu when he sleepwalked in the Jialan Temple.
He immediately realized that he had entered a dream again!
"Ouch …"
"Help …"
Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a burst of mournful cries for help coming from behind him.
He abruptly turned around and found that on the ground a few feet behind him, there were seven or eight thick bronze pillars. The pillars were covered in copper rust and were entwined with ropes condensed from black gas.
Many ferocious-looking ghosts with green faces and fangs were tied to the bronze pillars by these ropes.
For some reason, these ghosts all looked listless and listless. Some of them were even missing arms or legs, and they looked inexplicably miserable.
Shen Luo subconsciously grabbed two short spears and took five or six steps back.
The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of a group of ghosts. They all looked up. When they saw Shen Luo, there was a sudden commotion.
A ghost with a green head and red eyes screamed excitedly, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. A ghost with a hanged tongue that reached to its abdomen reached out a pair of withered hands to him. There was also a ghost with a headless head in its hand, shaking it at him non-stop …
Shen Luo felt a chill run down his spine. He calmed his mind and looked around again. Only then did he realize that the area under him, including the bronze pillars, was a large circular altar.
The center of the altar was filled with rammed earth, but the surroundings were stacked layer upon layer, densely piled with human skulls. All of them were facing the inside of the altar, reflecting the green light, making Shen Luo's scalp go numb.
He raised his head and looked up. The sky above his head was gloomy, and a thick layer of yellow clouds pressed the sky extremely low. The atmosphere was strange and oppressive, but the area around the altar was open, and there were no signs of living creatures at all. It looked like a dead wilderness.
"Shen Luo, Shen Luo …"
At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly heard a shout from behind him.
He hurriedly turned around and saw a crimson ghost with the head of a horse and the body of a human. It opened its long horse mouth and shouted his name loudly while waving its remaining arm excitedly.
Shen Luo was shocked. He really didn't know how this ghost knew his name.
He carefully looked at this ghost with a horse head and a human body. Only then did he realize that the clothes it wore were different from the other ghosts. It looked a bit like the uniforms worn by yamen runners.
"What ghost are you? How do you know my name?" Shen Luo carefully approached and asked with a frown.
