Chapter 0007 Entangled

The Han Dynasty also had a saying: "The shaman controls the seasons and drives away demons."

After some contemplation, I pressed my right palm against the waist badge and closed my eyes in deep thought

It was pitch dark outside, and Wei Yuan took out his phone to check the time

The sound of water still carries the crisp melody of singing

Wei Yuan moved forward step by step, devoid of self-awareness, until he arrived at a courtyard. The yard was narrow and cramped, surrounded by tall wooden buildings. Strings of white silk hung from the upturned eaves, and beneath them stood a crooked old locust tree. At the base of the locust tree was a square well.

Three thirty, about the same time I woke up yesterday, during the hour of the tiger. I do not know when I fell asleep. If I remember correctly, it was the response from the Tiger-Watching Waist Token that repelled the malevolent spirit, preventing the wandering spirits in the museum from becoming vengeful ghosts. I gained merit and then it transformed into the method that the Tiger-Watching Lieutenant must master

This is a method that has been passed down since ancient times

The frequency of certain events is also increasing.

Wei Yuan had another dream

Regardless of the circumstances, being able to awaken the Yin-Yang Eye and master the supernatural abilities found only in stories still lightened Wei Yuan's mood. It seemed that when he inscribed the talisman to drive away ghosts, his body underwent some peculiar transformation as well. Despite having only slept for two hours, Wei Yuan felt no fatigue.

A pair of red embroidered shoes with gold embellishments rests quietly on the ground

Slowly, he could vaguely feel that there was an additional talisman in the palm of his right hand. However, when he opened his eyes and shone the light of his phone, he saw nothing. Touching it with his hand yielded no sensation either. It was evidently a form of magic related to the soul.

and the quantity is also too large

Disciples of Daoism and Buddhism, those with some degree of attainment, have all been reassigned to form two categories of special personnel

Approximately

One category consists of members who study and promote the practice of Reiki.

He sighed and stroked the waist token of the Crouching Tiger

Then, the movements of Wei Yuan paused, and his gaze became fixed.

This vehicle is filled with the latter, belonging to the lineage of the Daoist sect known as the Qingwei Mingzong.

It is as if it is transmitted from the water, sung by the female performer of the opera, singing through the water.

Exorcism

A woman is sitting by the well, her head lowered, with black hair cascading down, obscuring her face

Yes, they are different

In ancient times, there existed the art of exorcism, known as driving away demons. It involved a formation of twelve individuals, with red laws drawn on their skins, wielding several-foot-long hemp whips, dancing and chanting the names of deities.

However ... ...

Unlike ordinary people, they are practitioners

Wei Yuan's fingers traced the waist token of the hidden tiger, deep in thought

In the front seat are two young men with muscular builds

The woman's cigarette silently vanished from her hand, and she rubbed her brow, saying:

The well has the sound of flowing water, as if it were alive

Blue Star, Huaguo, Fog City, Cherry Island, Celtic

The Tiger Waist Token can react in dreams, but it is unable to directly subdue that fierce ghost. Is it because it is not inherently a defensive treasure, or has its ability significantly diminished due to the passage of time?

A case has emerged in Quanshi, which may have been perpetrated by a demon.

In the real world, Wei Yuan opened his eyes, and a deep azure light flickered within them

In the pre-Qin period, there was a book titled "Jie"

If we do not do it, then who will?

If they do not take action, who else can deal with these demons

Captain, we still have a mission

"Divert to Quanshi for a trip to resolve these matters"

The woman pulled up the map and succinctly stated

Wei Yuan, in a state of confusion, took steps forward, but this time he had only walked a few paces when the expression on his face began to fluctuate, revealing signs of struggle. Then, amidst the sudden roar of a tiger's furious roar, he abruptly opened his eyes in the dream and saw the woman with long, flowing hair and the pair of gold-embroidered red shoes that were so familiar they were unforgettable.

A sense of responsibility to protect the weak, mixed with a feeling of superiority as a strong individual, emerges.

Then

It is as if he is the only person in the world

In the back seat sits a young woman with neat short hair, wearing a suit and black high heels. One hand holds a cigarette, while the other types on the keyboard. She furrows her brow slightly as she looks at the screen, and upon seeing the continuously rising curve, she feels her blood pressure rising as well

Surrounded by wisps of white mist, the sound of water can be heard within the fog

The tip of the shoe is pointing directly at his bed

However, it is clearly not a good thing

Even the most capable of the Wohu Xiaowei cannot be omnipresent. Relying on the control of various spirits can provide significant assistance in capturing demons and monsters. In later generations, these spirits, which have been commanded to achieve merit, are often worshipped and become the ghostly soldiers and generals of the City God.

In recent years, the concentration of spiritual energy has been continuously increasing

A pitch-black car is speeding down the highway

These countries differ from another historically short-lived nation, whether in terms of discovering and addressing issues locally or having once been dependent on a suzerain state. History is replete with means to deal with malevolent spirits, especially in Huaguo, where at the onset of the revival of spiritual energy, most matters concerning malevolent spirits had already been forcefully suppressed, preventing any disruption to the normal lives of ordinary citizens

However, now, some cannot be contained any longer

After the Han Dynasty, over the course of two thousand years, the various schools and sects of exorcism and invocation of deities largely originated from this.

A kick sent the red embroidered shoes flying away

... ...

Just now, the dreams that were forgotten last night are gradually becoming recallable

After all, we are different from them

Approximately four meters away

There is still some time before the collection, so let's first resolve the case in Quan City

He stared at the ceiling, remaining silent for a long time

Wei Yuan clenched his fist, finding nothing different

Outside the window is pitch dark, and there is not a sound to be heard in the surroundings

After a long silence, Wei Yuan let out a faint sigh

On the vast land of the divine China, disciples of Buddhism and Taoism are directly mobilized; any insignificant demons that appear are immediately suppressed by an iron fist

There is no but

The man nodded, turned the steering wheel, and the black sedan changed direction, entering the area of Quan City

In the next moment, the dream shatters

As for the significance of this gradually shortening distance, Wei Yuan does not know

It is an antique wooden building, three stories high, adorned with red silk that sways in the wind

One category is responsible for going out to subdue demons and eliminate evil

To interrogate and blame, the malevolent spirits harm the people recklessly, bringing misfortune to the populace. If there are complaints, they should be addressed; summon and instruct the people to avoid calamities and disasters

However, the ghost-exorcising abilities that a Hu Wei Xiaowei must master are not merely about expelling lingering spirits that refuse to depart. To exorcise also means to command; this ability similarly encompasses methods of command, allowing one to utilize certain powers of the souls.

... has been entangled.

The increase in spiritual energy concentration is too rapid, almost surging suddenly at a single node

The man driving the car frowned

The white paper contains a written record of this magical technique.

Her voice paused for a moment and said

It means that ghosts are ominous, and the Qin Dynasty compiled a manual for exorcising ghosts to inform the public, in order to prevent harm to the people

He thought of the water ghost that was directly overturned, and silently added a sentence.

I moved my shoulders a bit and then prepared to get out of bed to find those few ghosts

The two men fell silent

After that, I fell into a deep sleep

Before the widespread educational initiatives could be implemented, as the practice of spiritual cultivation had not yet reached the safety standards of Huaguo, the ordinary populace lacked significant resistance against such demons; only we possess the capability to confront them

If it is said that in other places, to control spirits one must first find the yin objects, and then use them to subdue the spirits before they can be utilized, then there are currently five yin objects in this museum. If one can successfully persuade them to accept the control, it would at least provide a bit more confidence when facing the seemingly persistent malevolent spirit.

Get out of bed and walk over

Moreover, he can still clearly distinguish that in yesterday's dream, when he walked into that courtyard, the well and the woman by the well were approximately five meters away from him, but in the recent dream, they had only remained four meters away, gradually drawing closer.

The spirits and monsters, as well as the supernatural forces, each possess their own distinct characteristics
