Chapter 527: Golden Mace to Suppress Evil Spirits
"Senior, it's really time for me to retrieve the Hu family's token..."
Do you remember that when I first learned the art of keeping the year old, shopkeeper Wu Hong said to me that keeping the year old is the most indifferent way of doing things?
But God has destined that I can only take the path of ghosts that is the most karmic...
But the strangest thing is that when the pressure on my head reaches the extreme, I think about fighting for the world because of my identity as a reincarnated person, and about blocking the Meng family because of my identity as a descendant of the Hu family. Became a rebel leader...
...It’s so relaxing!
It's probably like the sweet potato that has been burdened with so many debts and sins. Just let it go and you won't have to worry about the debt, right?
What else are you thinking about? With a wry smile on his lips, he withdrew his gaze and bowed slightly to the tiger in front of him, just as a gesture. He bowed too deeply, fearing that the senior tiger would hide aside again.
Then, he simply stood up and walked straight to the square millstone. His mood became so peaceful for the first time since his reincarnation, as if the wind in the village had stopped.
For some reason, when he walked to the box, he couldn't help but look at a stone tablet still standing on the east side of the village. Now that the magic power on the tablet had been dissipated, the traces left by his mother-in-law here had disappeared. .
But Hu Ma still saw her, as if she was standing under the stone monument, looking at him silently with her eyes that were not very good at expressing emotions.
Hu Ma turned to her mother-in-law, nodded silently, then turned around and came directly to the millstone.
In his body, something deep within his bloodline seemed to be awakening. His identity as a reincarnated person and the cautiousness of the little shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang disappeared at this moment. He only had one identity left, that is, a descendant of the Hu family. Taking over his own burden.
So, he straightened his robes, looked solemn, stepped forward, and slowly bowed to the iron box.
At this moment, even the wind in the village seemed to have completely disappeared. All the ghosts in the village raised their heads and stared at Hu Ma's figure bowing to the box.
Only Hu Ma's voice sounded: "Children and grandchildren of the Hu family, come to ask for troops!"
"Wow..."
The moment he said these words, the iron chain wrapped around the box instantly turned into pieces of rotten straw rope.
Inside the box, there was lying the dark copper mace, which seemed extremely heavy when he looked at it. The animal pattern with a human face and tiger claws on it seemed to come to life. He slowly stretched his body and his eyes fell on it sinisterly. Hu Ma's face.
Hu Ma stood up, faced the gaze of the Dharma pattern on the mace, slowly stretched out his palm, put it into the box, held the handle of the mace, and put all the four pillars of Taoism into the incense burner. The soul light all over his body was faintly glowing. , and then lift it up hard.
"Um?"
This exertion made me feel a little surprised again.
He once remembered that when he borrowed the token before, it was extremely heavy and he was extremely reluctant to lift it with the three-pillar technique. Therefore, this time, he directly used the four-pillar technique to lift it.
Although there is only one pillar of difference in Taoism, there is still a door between the inside and outside of the mansion. Compared to that time, my strength is more than three times greater?
But holding this thing, it still felt so heavy, as if it was no different from the last time I lifted it. One hand was not enough, so I used two hands to take the mace out of the box.
Then, little by little, it was raised above the head.
Boom!
The moment the copper mace reached the top, the nine-section mace body gradually collided and made a clanging sound, like invisible thunderbolts exploding one after another. The rolling strong wind came unexpectedly and rotated around Hu Ma's body, raising the corners of his robe. The high one lifted up.
Vaguely, Hu Ma seemed to be hallucinating, as if he saw himself in a place similar to the Jinluan Hall, but it had a lot of gloomy and solemn meaning for no reason. He heard an extremely loud voice, and shouted loudly from above. :
"Now I give the Hu family a golden mace to suppress evil spirits, drive away evil spirits, destroy gods and destroy temples. Do you dare to accept it?"
"If you take this trump card, you will be able to maintain the boundary between Yin and Yang and the order between humans and ghosts. From the Nine Heavens Yin Division to the Eight Scenery Huangquan, anyone who violates the rules will be beaten. Do you dare to bear this weight?"
"..."
"..."
The invisible shouts poured into Hu Ma's ears, shaking him so much that his whole body was numb, as if his soul could not bear the pressure. If there was any hesitation or guilty conscience, his bones would be crushed by this mace.
But he gritted his teeth and held on, holding on to this weapon, letting the loud shouts ring like thunder in his ears, and there was only one deep shout:
"dare!"
"..."
As soon as he agreed, a strong wind filled the air. Centered on him, the aura on the mace suddenly spread to all directions of the entire decadent and depressed village. It seemed to form countless overlapping sounds, and the sound started ringing out.
Not only his own answer, but in fact, the previous lords of the Hu family in the past dynasties had given such answers when they received the golden mace to suppress evil spirits. Only by promising to the mace could they become the leader of the Hu family.
The roaring wind blew in all directions, and the countless innocent souls around them felt frightened and trembled instinctively. They did not dare to look at Hu Ma who was holding the mace. In fact, even if they were just standing in the village, their footing was unsteady and almost to the point of being destroyed. blown away by the wind.
"You have committed serious sins. Although you were harmed by that filthy thing, you still cannot escape the guilt."
At the same time, the tiger who was watching the ceremony looked at Hu Ma holding up the mace with a vague expression on his face. However, he still turned to the innocent soul next to him and whispered in a low voice: "So, you need to worship him." ”
"The Hu family can ignore your sins and send you to where you should go..."
"To restore order, punish gods and exterminate ghosts, it is the Hu family that should be punished..."
"..."
These ghosts have been decayed for a long time, and may not understand what Shanjun is saying, but they have been frightened by the mace in Hu Ma's hand, and they all kneel down without raising their heads.
And a strange scene appeared. As they knelt down to Hu Ma, the strong wind that rolled over seemed to let them go immediately, and swept over their heads, sweeping away the remaining gloomy resentment in the village.
Some of the remnants carried by these resentful souls were also blown away by the strong wind, and even their ghost bodies seemed to be much lighter, and Shanjun also smiled and gently spread out his right sleeve, and the endless ghosts all entered his sleeve.
Then, he slowly raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes. Although his face was still blurry, one could see that his face was filled with genuine joy:
"There is someone in the Zhensui Hu family..."
"..."
"..."
Hualala...
Not far from Shixiazi Village, in Dayang Village, next to the old fire pond, a gust of gloomy wind suddenly blew up, blowing up the ash from the old fire pond that usually wouldn't fly.
There was also a faint gloomy wind rising from the ash. It was noon now, and the sun was shining, but this gloomy air didn't seem to be afraid of the sun at all. It just followed the wind lightly, floating and circling over the old fire pond.
As if someone was dazzled, there seemed to be an old woman with a hunched figure inside. She floated over Dayang Village, looked in the direction of Juehu Village, and nodded gently.
On his face, there was a comforting smile, and it seemed to carry some expectations. After hesitating for a long time, he finally followed the wind and drifted straight to the north.
In the far north, far away, in front of a huge ancient and desolate mausoleum, ten ancient ancestral halls stood quietly there. In front of each ancestral hall, there was a brazier with a flame that never went out for many years, illuminating the world.
There were ten braziers arranged in a circle, one of which had been extinguished for twenty years.
But at this moment, there was a faint flame in the brazier, like a young seedling, drilling out little by little, and then, as if it had accumulated twenty years of strength, it rose instantly.
In an instant, it rushed straight into the sky, suppressing the other nine braziers, and even if they were added together, they could not block the light of this brazier.
"What?"
The tomb keeper was suddenly awakened and stared at the rising flame. After a while, he suddenly reacted and rushed to the ancestral hall behind the brazier, opened the lock on the heavy black door, and rushed in.
"Ka Ka Ka..."
A slight shaking sound was heard. He looked closely and saw that it was at the bottom of the rows of tablets. The one that seemed to be different from the other tablets in terms of texture and color, and even looked a little new, was shaking slightly.
The tomb keeper was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He suddenly shouted: "Hurry up, guard the body and return the soul. It's time to give the Bai family's grandmother a promotion..."
"No..."
Before he could hold the tablet with his trembling hands, a heavy voice sounded outside. He saw a tall figure standing outside the ancestral hall, bowing slowly and slowly bowing down.
After bowing three times, he said in a deep voice: "It's not the grandmother of the Bai family, it's the grandmother of the Hu family."
"As an orphan and a widow, she has not received the true inheritance of the Hu family, but she has taken on the responsibility of inheriting the Zhensui family with her old shoulders. Now her merits are fulfilled..."
"...Who else in this ancestral hall is more qualified than her to be called a member of the Hu family?"
"..."
"..."
At the same moment, in the ancestral house of the Meng family, the lady who was dozing off after being beaten by the maid was also awakened all of a sudden. She kept saying "ouch" and hurried to the ancestral hall, complaining: "What happened? ..."
"There was no movement for one or two years in the past, but now there are one after another. Can we just let it go?"
"..."
In other places, old farmers working in the fields, colorful clothes walking in the rivers and lakes, doctors collecting herbs in the mountains, rich men sitting quietly in the dark room, and yamen runners living alone in the government office quietly burning fires all raised their heads, with expressions of surprise and surprise:
"This family is really not extinct?"
"Since the Hu family has appeared, the other families don't have to hide anymore. It's time to go out and prepare for the appointment at the stone pavilion..."
