Chapter 523 The Five Absolute Realms
It was like waking up from an illusory dream. The prosperous and peaceful village just now appeared in front of Hu Ma's eyes. It was a dilapidated and desolate scene.
There were weeds everywhere, houses collapsed, and dead bones were everywhere. Some of them were broken bones that had dried up and stuck to the joints. Countless cold winds blew out from every corner, forming a terrifying net.
Even the real and plump faces that had just gathered around him quickly shrank and faded, turning into hideous, rotten, gloomy and resentful looks. Their figures also became shadowy. When a cold wind blew, they all disappeared.
"The things here are so fierce that they don't follow the rules..."
Hu Ma sighed in a low voice in the middle of the cold wind.
The seven steps he just took had a special meaning, called stepping on the Gangbudou, which was a method recorded in the Zhensui Book. It could walk directly out of the evil and charming illusion.
No matter how deep, real, or how powerfully the other party's illusion is, as long as you take these seven steps, you will return to reality.
I have the ability of a person who stays in the mansion to watch the New Year. If an ordinary evil spirit blows a breath of Yin Qi, not to mention bewitching me, I may be burned to death by the fire in my body.
But this place is so charming that it seems to be silent and unnoticed. Even though I was full of vigilance when I entered the village, I was still bewitched by the ghosts in this village. And even though I knew I was bewitched, I couldn't find the flaws from my five senses.
If I didn't have the method in the book of the year, wouldn't I be bewitched to death if I changed to an ordinary person who stayed in the mansion to watch the New Year?
"Huh..."
While he was thinking, the cold wind around him, which was like scraping bones and hair, gathered more and more, and became stronger and stronger, blowing directly towards his face. It seemed to be mixed with countless villagers' curses, such as "I don't know how to appreciate it", "You grabbed my hand and you want to marry me", etc.
Although it sounds outrageous, he even felt that the weight of each ghost in this village was heavier than the soldiers selected by General Yin, and they all exceeded the weight that a ghost should have.
"Respect the heaven and earth, and communicate with the true spirit."
"The five qi obey my command, and the five towns will form an altar with majesty."
"...Rise!"
Facing the rolling cold wind, he did not dare to be careless. He gritted his teeth and practiced in secret. In an instant, his whole body turned into a magic power. He stepped on it and spread his magic power. Indistinctly, it formed a correspondence with the four gate-guarding stones, forming a five-sided town.
The gate stones around the village of Juehu were set up by my grandmother. The stones have the names of every citizen in the village when they were alive. They can be used to set up an altar.
Just now, he knew that he was bewitched, but he still followed the illusion to come here, which was also for this reason.
This is exactly where the fifth square town should be located. Coming here, the four gate stones, plus the dead body around him, can just set up an altar and trap the evil spirits in the village of Juehu in this altar.
Hula!
At the altar, Hu Ma felt cold all over, as if countless cold steel needles pierced his limbs and bones, and his Taoism was quickly consumed.
This village of Juehu is really not a good place to set up an altar.
To set up an altar, you need to find a place with good feng shui, a high place, a clean and tidy place, and a place with good fortune and luck. This village of Juehu is simply not related to it. Everything is bad to the extreme.
Any decent ghost chaser would not set up an altar here, otherwise, once the altar is set up, let alone exorcising ghosts, he would be crushed to death first.
However, thanks to Hu Ma being a stay-at-home man, he could hold on. After setting up the altar, the gate stones on all sides also vaguely formed a response, helping him share some of the backlash from the evil land.
"Hulala..."
Also along with the altar, the surrounding fierce and rolling gloomy wind suddenly became fierce, with countless people's vague pale faces in the wind, and it grabbed Hu Ma's face directly, pulling out the dry grass around him by the roots.
The evil ghosts in this village also seemed to notice that someone had set up an altar, and their anger exploded immediately.
The gate stones around were hit by the gloomy energy, and they were shaking constantly, with a faint sense of crumbling. As the talisman at the center of the altar, the impact Hu Ma received was indescribable.
"Fellow villagers, can't we give each other some face?"
But facing this group of resentful ghosts, Hu Ma maintained a calm state of mind, slowly sat down, crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and began to chant a low spell.
There are four spells in the Zhen Sui Book, which are the most useful skills besides the Zhen Sui Mansion.
Criminal shackles, elimination, each spell has its own unique features.
With these four spells, Hu Ma has four ways to get back the Hu family's token, but now he is using the most time-consuming and energy-consuming one: the Divine Light Elimination Sin Spell.
Not to kill all the resentful ghosts in the village, nor to tame them, and even less to torture them.
From the words of the old sheepskin uncle and others, Hu Ma knew that what the grandmother said back then was that the people in this village were pitiful and didn't want to disperse them directly, so they used this method to trap them and come to help them when the time was right.
Although those people didn't know that the Hu family's token was here, Hu Ma still planned to follow her mother-in-law's last wishes and do whatever she said, even if choosing to remove the curse would seem more difficult and troublesome.
So, as the mysterious and vague curse sounded in the village, the rolling dark winds that rolled around were suppressed by his curses when they rolled in front of him. The gloomy and fierce in the wind seemed to dissipate and become much calmer.
However, as the curse sounded, it also alarmed things deeper in the village. Layers of dark clouds swept over, like angry waves.
More and more powerful things came out from the corners.
In a blink of an eye, it seemed that a group of ferocious villagers, led by the elders, cursed Hu Ma. In another blink of an eye, there was only a rolling dark wind, carrying a gloomy and vicious face that changed its shape, just wanting to tear Hu Ma into pieces.
But Hu Ma was not angry. Instead, he could understand the reason for their ferocity and the necessity of using the divine light to eliminate evil spells to solve this extinct village.
Extinct is a shocking word.
Connecting it to this village, it is even more unbearable.
They did not do anything that would anger the heavens and the people. It was just because the harvest in the village was poor that year, and they cut a piece of white Tai Sui that normal people could eat. After eating it, the whole village died.
Fate played tricks on people, and they died in one night, which was sorrow.
The whole village was dead, and the living died, but there was no one to send them off, which was resentment.
The bloodline was cut off and there was no way to continue, which was extinction.
After death, there was no one to rely on, no one to ask, and it was difficult to leave, which was abandonment.
The grandmother felt sorry for them, but she couldn't bear to use tough measures to disperse all the wronged souls in the whole village, so she could only trap them, but they didn't know that the grandmother was kind-hearted, and they only felt that they were bound by others, and thus gave birth to strong hatred.
Sorrow, resentment, extinction, abandonment, and hatred, the five elements intertwined, brewing for ten years, finally formed the current village of extinct families that is unique in the world.
…
…
“Don’t say that the world is unfair, the world is inherently unfair.”
“Don’t complain about being alone and helpless, the dead are originally peaceful, the living are always sad…”
This kind of village with no one left, I’m afraid no matter how skilled the magician is, can solve it. The Hu family’s divine light evil-eliminating spell is just the right one, but this rare experience makes Hu Ma feel complicated.
He always likes the thundering methods of the people who keep watch on the New Year. Either don’t do it, or do it completely. After a while, he has seen a lot of blood and his heart is hardened. But now, according to the wishes of the mother-in-law, he has dealt with the affairs of this village with no one left, and he has experienced these softness a little.
The ghost walker has always used two methods: exorcism and soul-soothing. I have only used exorcism before, but now it is the first time I use the soul-soothing method. I vaguely feel that I have a feeling of connecting life and death, yin and yang, and my mood.
Soul-soothing, what is it?
It was nothing more than a little thought from the living to the dead. Life and death are separated by yin and yang. Perhaps only this thought can penetrate life and death?
Amidst the emotion, his heart became more peaceful. The divine light evil-eliminating spell in his mouth did not stop for a moment. He could clearly feel that as his spell echoed in the village, the cold and bone-scraping resentment seemed to be evaporating bit by bit.
"Shua!"
But at this moment, Hu Ma suddenly felt something. He looked at the candlelight and suddenly raised his eyes to look deep into the village.
Now the resentful souls in this village are almost real. When they are scattered and unable to shake Hu Ma's altar, they have already quickly wandered and intertwined, as if forming a huge, strange shadow.
The black air on his body was being dispelled by the spell in Hu Ma's mouth, but there were still some strange and tough things that were not affected by Hu Ma's spell at all. Instead, they became heavier, driving these resentful souls to quickly merge into one place.
Looking vaguely, it seemed as if he had seen the skinny and hunched figure of the elder in the illusion, with a blue shroud on his body, and the pale faces of the people in the village attached to it.
The figure of the other party became extremely tall in the rolling wind. Although he was hunched, he was almost taller than the height of the four-sided gate-guarding stone.
"That is..."
Hu Ma's mind was spinning rapidly, and the origin of this village emerged in his mind.
The people in this village did not die a good death, but they ate the flesh and blood of Tai Sui and were poisoned to death. The most important thing is that after they died, they were trapped here and could not get out, and it was difficult for them to affect the outside world.
In this way, they fermented day and night, devoured each other, and bred. For ten years, gradually, such a strange existence was born...
And the most important thing is that when Hu Ma saw it, he suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it once...
... The ancestor of the Meng family!
…
At this moment, Hu Ma's heart suddenly shrank, and suddenly, he realized a problem: Mother-in-law put the Hu family token here, not only waiting for her to take it.
She also tried to tell herself some key issues when she took back the Hu family token.
