Chapter 301 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold Ascetic Monk 5
Jueming followed closely behind Master Xuanji, walking through the winding and quiet corridor, all the way to the front yard.
Many disciples have already gathered in the front yard, with worried faces, whispering and discussing, and the noisy words echoed in this small space.
Several villagers are also waiting here, sitting or standing, with anxiety and fear written on their faces.
The weather-beaten faces are like autumn leaves eroded by frost, full of haggard and vicissitudes of life.
The occasional low sobs added to the desolation.
Xuanji walked slowly to several villagers, clasping his hands together, his eyes gentle and firm, as if he could see into the deepest fears of people's hearts.
"Dear donors, poor monk Xuanji, I have heard about the incident in Zhoujiazhuang. Please rest assured that I, the Buddha, are compassionate and will do my best to help."
An old man walked up tremblingly. In front of him, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Master, please save us. The men in the village fell one after another. If this continues, Zhoujiazhuang will probably be wiped out!"
Xuanji looked pitiful, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and said comfortingly: "Old benefactor, please get up, and the poor monk will immediately set off to Zhoujiazhuang to find out the truth and get rid of the evil spirits."
Yu Yao also came after hearing the news. She was dressed in plain clothes, with an elegant wild flower in her hair, and her face looked slightly worried.
The wild flowers swayed gently in the breeze, adding a bit of agility and softness to her.
She glanced at the villagers, then walked to Xuanji and said seriously: "Master, I am also willing to go together. Although I am a monster, I also know the difference between good and evil. Zhoujiazhuang I can't just sit back and ignore the suffering."
Xuanji nodded slightly, not surprised by her decision, "Donor Yu, since you have this intention, please go together. But remember, you need to eliminate the demon. Be compassionate and don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Don't worry, little lady."
Yu Yao smiled.
The group quickly left Wanfo Temple and headed for Zhoujiazhuang, with Jueming and several villagers following closely behind.
The road is not far, but the scenery along the way seems particularly desolate. There are overgrown weeds on both sides of the road, almost covering up the original trail.
The occasional howl of wild beasts adds a sense of urgency.
"Master, do you think the changes in Zhoujiazhuang were really caused by evil spirits?"
Jueming couldn't help but ask, his voice echoing in the empty valley, with a bit of uncertainty.
Xuanji stopped and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance. A flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes, "Everything in the world has a cause and effect. It is possible for evil to cause trouble, or a human heart is not ancient. Only Only by visiting the scene can you understand the truth. ”
Yu Yao's eyes moved slightly and she stroked the wild flowers in her hair, "No matter what the reason is, I will do my best to help the innocent suffering villagers."
The group continued on. Okay, as the sun sets, the sky gradually turns orange.
It was already evening when Yu Yao and the others arrived at Zhoujiazhuang.
The entire Zhoujiazhuang was shrouded in deathly silence.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the mottled walls, reflecting mottled shadows, as if even the light is telling the desolation here.
Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, several crows circled and made shrill calls, adding to the ominous atmosphere.
Xuanji led a group of people into the village. Every door was closed, and the occasional sobs or coughs made people feel nervous.
There was an indescribable depression and fear in the air, as if even breathing had become heavier.
"Everyone, be careful, there's something wrong with the atmosphere here." Xuanji reminded in a low voice, and at the same time, he activated the Buddhist mental skills, and his whole body emitted a faint golden light to protect everyone.
Yu Yao frowned. As a demon, she is more sensitive to the surrounding environment.
She could feel that the village was filled with a cold air that did not belong to the human world. It was the unique smell of evil spirits.
But she also noticed that this breath seemed to be mixed with other more complex things, which made it difficult for her to distinguish for a while.
"Master, where should we start checking?" Jueming asked, with a bit of nervousness in his voice.
Xuanji pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and see those villagers who are infected first."
At this time, old man Liu, a villager who had followed back to Zhoujiazhuang, walked forward anxiously, "Master, please go and see the villagers first." Look at my son, he is very ill!"
Xuanji looked at Old Man Liu and nodded slightly: "Donor, don't be impatient, I will go now."
"Thank you very much. Master.”
Old man Liu burst into tears and was busy leading the way.
Xuanji, Yu Yao, and Jueming followed Old Man Liu.
Other villagers also followed.
The group soon arrived at Old Man Liu's home, which was a simple but neat farmhouse.
At this time, it was shrouded in gloom.
Old man Liu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, stood at the door with her hands clenched and her eyes red. When she saw Xuan Ji and others, a light of hope flashed in her eyes.
"Master, you are finally here, my man..." Mrs. Zhao choked with sobs, almost speechless.
Xuanji nodded gently, signaling her to be calm, and then walked into the house.
Yu Yao and Jueming followed closely behind. The light in the room was dim, and there was a smell of medicine mixed with mildew and dampness that made people frown.
A middle-aged man was lying on the earthen bed. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed tightly, and his breath was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
All life seemed to have been drained from his whole body.
Xuanji walked to the Tukang, stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the man's pulse, closing his eyes and thinking.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, with solemnity flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "This is caused by the technique of picking up yang and replenishing yin. The evil spirits absorb the essence of living people to nourish their own cultivation. In the prime of life, Men have the strongest yang energy, so they become targets of evil spirits."
Hearing this, Zhao's face became even paler, tears rolled down like broken pearls, and he looked at Xuanji and prayed: "Master. , please save my man, he is the backbone of our family!"
Unbearable flashed in Yu Yao's eyes, and she reassured him: "Don't worry, he will be fine."< br>
After saying this, she took out a jade pendant with a warm luster from her sleeve and placed it gently on the man's chest.
"This jade can warm and nourish Yang Qi and temporarily stabilize his heart."
She looked at Zhao and explained softly.
At the same time, he used his demon power to slowly inject a gentle force into the jade pendant. The jade pendant then emitted a faint warm light, surrounding the man.
Xuanji didn't hesitate when he saw this. He formed seals with his hands and recited ancient scriptures.
Following his voice, a breeze seemed to blow through the room, bringing with it a hint of coolness and tranquility, slowly dispelling the invisible evil spirit.
Zhao and Old Man Liu did not dare to disturb, so they stood on the side and watched.
As the two of them cast spells, the man on the earthen bed's originally pale face gradually regained some color, and his breathing became steady and strong.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Liu were so excited that they burst into tears and kowtowed to Xuanji and Yu Yao to thank them.
"Master, this girl, thank you. Thank you for saving the head of my family."
Mrs. Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly.
Old man Liu also knelt down, his face full of gratitude and tears of joy.
"Amitabha, I am merciful. Please get up quickly."
Xuanji quickly helped the two of them up. He took out an amulet from his arms and handed it to Zhao. , "Put this amulet on your husband's chest, which can temporarily protect his heart and prevent further intrusion by evil spirits. In addition, let your husband get more sunshine or eat some yang-rich foods to replenish his lost energy. Yang Qi."
Zhao took the amulet with trembling hands and burst into tears, "Thank you, master, thank you for this girl."
Xuanji nodded slightly, without saying anything, and quickly left Old Han Liu's house.
Yu Yao and Jueming followed.
They visited house to house. Everywhere they went, Xuanji carefully checked the patient's pulse and diagnosed them.
I found that the situation was basically the same. The loss of yang energy was too serious, and the evil energy entered the body, which led to the illness.
The next process is similar.
Yu Yao and Xuan Ji used magic power and demon power to remove evil spirits from the men in the village.
As for the subsequent replenishment of yang energy, they can only rely on them to slowly raise it. At present, they can only save their lives temporarily.
With the two people’s magical treatment, the elderly man in the village was gradually out of danger.
But the whole village is still shrouded in a layer of haze.
Jueming frowned and asked worriedly: "Master, the villagers are temporarily out of danger, what should we do next?"
Xuanji's eyes were solemn, he clasped his hands and said, "Don't take it lightly. The evil has not been eradicated and the hidden dangers have not been eliminated."
Yu Yao looked at the mountain peaks behind the village. At this time, the sky had completely darkened. It was a blur of shadows, I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know where the evil spirit was hiding.
Her expression slightly wrinkled: "Master is right, we need to find out the evil spirit as soon as possible to prevent future troubles, otherwise the rescue of these villagers will be in vain."
Jueming looked confused. He scratched his head and said, "Yes. How can we find this evil spirit?”
Jueming became frightened as soon as he heard this. He rubbed his clothes unconsciously with his hands, wondering if this move was too risky? What if there is a backlash from evil spirits?
But I was afraid that the master and Miss Yu would think that I was cowardly, so I swallowed my words again and changed my words: "Then how can I help?"
Xuanji looked at her Xiang Jueming patted his shoulder gently and said, "Stay guard and don't let anyone else interfere."
"Okay." Jueming nodded solemnly.
Yu Yao stood aside and said nothing.
The night is deep and everything is silent.
Xuanji chose an open space in the center of the village and began to set up an altar.
