Chapter 196 The evil spirit enters the city
An Ning Mansion.
On January 1, the Spring Festival arrives as scheduled.
Boom~~
At dawn, a loud noise woke up everyone inside and outside the city.
"Oh, oh, what the hell!"
In a certain room of the restaurant, a fat businessman fell from the bed, and then a panicked round face appeared from under the table.
Hear his scream.
A servant quickly came outside the door and explained through the door.
“Sir, this is our Spring Festival celebration, called firecrackers.”
"His grandma's fault, I come to Anning Mansion every year to do business, how come I haven't heard of it before!"
The door slammed open, and the fat and disheveled businessman cursed.
Many guests came out of their rooms, regardless of appearance, and went out to watch the fun.
When everyone came to the street, they saw the sky rumbling, bright objects rising into the air and exploding into light rain, and something crackling and exploding on the ground, emitting pungent green smoke.
“Is this a firecracker?”
Waving away the smoke, the fat businessman couldn't help but ask.
“On the day of the Three Yuan Dynasty, when the rooster crows, firecrackers are fired in front of the court to avoid the evil spirits from the mountains. The reason why they are called firecrackers is because the sound is similar to the sound of burning bamboo.”
The person setting off the firecrackers laughed.
He is wearing the attire of a priest, mainly black and white, with a tripod representing the Qingnang Sect on his back, and a WiFi icon on his chest at the heart position.
The cuffs are painted with cloud patterns, and the black boots resemble evil beasts, which means entering the netherworld and reaching heaven.
Ceremonies related to the Spring Festival are held by a group of priests in the temple.
"Can this thing ward off ghosts?"
"That's right, this firecracker is a thunder and fire talisman. If you have the cultivation level, you can see it by looking at the air. After the firecracker burns, the world will be different. Full of masculinity and righteousness, the evil devil will be wiped out with just one sniff!"
The priest said proudly.
As monks in the temple system, they do not need to practice spells, they only need to study how to use talismans.
In order to successfully hold the Spring Festival, many new talismans were added to the temple, and the thunder and fire talisman that acts as a firecracker is just one of them.
Originally, the priests and monks had no sense of existence, and the welfare benefits were not the best among Chen Jing's direct industry. After the Demon Slayer came out, they were directly reduced to the intelligence department.
The Spring Festival is now on the stage, and I feel proud and proud.
“Can these firecrackers be sold?”
The fat businessman was immediately moved.
They didn't know about Tianyuan's expansion. They only knew that after the Fengtian Sect started to rebel, they had a little peace of mind for a year and then started to stir up troubles everywhere again.
The gloomy place began to be haunted, and the beasts that were easy to deal with on the road suddenly grew in size and turned into monsters.
There are also some evil cultivators who are beguiled by nonsense and practice evil practices.
As a businessman, he has indeed suffered a lot of losses. Not long ago, he encountered a demon that could skin people and lost two carts of goods.
“Firecrackers need to be used on a large scale throughout the city. They have the best effect. Used alone, they can only scare away evil spirits for a short time. When the temple fair officially begins, when you enter the temple to pray, you can ask for an amulet. There are three types. The amulet is very useful.”
After the priest said this, he bowed his hands and left.
Go to the other end of the street.
He raised his hand and dropped a piece of talisman, which exploded on the ground with crackling sounds.
“Don’t mention it yet, the fairy spirit is flying.”
The fat businessman turned around and shouted: “Which brother knows when the temple fair will start?”
"It's time!"
That's nine o'clock.
“It’s so late, it’s already dawn!” The fat businessman was surprised.
"Don't you know this from other places? Mr. Chen's rules are like this. He doesn't use twelve hours, but uses one to twenty-four o'clock. It's called: nine to five, go to and from get off work on time. ”
“It happened. ”
The fat businessman is more interested in the new gadgets here.
Currently, in his impression, Mr. Chen is a person with a bold personality.
What I love most about doing business is a generous person.
Go back to your accommodation and call your cronies.
Then he came to a room, and the joy on his face faded a little.
Lying on the bed was a pale young man, who was his son.
When encountering the skinning demon, his son was frightened by the demon and has not recovered yet.
"Can you still move around?" "Father... the child suddenly feels a little unwell."
"Then take a rest and go out for your father. Please give me some relief." The amulet is back."
…
The other side.
Ye Fan was wearing armor and a cloak, his footsteps were stuck in the snow, and he was walking outside the city of Anning Prefecture.
"Hey, do you have any regrets?"
The tall and thin teammate in front suddenly spoke up.
"What regrets do you have?"
"My colleagues in the Demon Slayer Division have all taken a rest. Those of us who have joined the Pillar Hall have to patrol around. Look, there are firecrackers set off inside. It must be very lively."
The tall and thin teammate said.
Ye Fan said lightly: "You are regretting it, you asked me."
"Oh, I didn't know that even Xiu Mu wouldn't be able to get our turn, I made an appointment early We are going to the temple fair, Ye Fan, do you have an appointment with your sweetheart?”
"I have an appointment."
Wei Ning's appearance came to mind.
"We are all miserable people..."
My teammates are complaining.
Suddenly, the two of them looked in the same direction at the same time, their faces becoming serious.
Look at each other.
Each one takes out the talisman and activates it.
What Ye Fan took out was the 'Early Warning Talisman' produced by the temple. When the Talisman is activated, the nearest priest will be summoned and a first-level warning notice will be issued to other members of the surrounding Demon Slayer Division.
The tall and thin teammate took out a 'Detection Talisman', which can sense negative spiritual power.
The surrounding evil spirits, resentment, blood and other negative attributes of evil spirits can be detected.
"Something happened."
The tall and thin man's eyes narrowed.
“Are you going?”
“Go, get the Earth Escape Talisman, and be careful about ambush.”
The two of them kept a supportive distance from each other, and kept observing with Qi Watch. Use caution when traveling to unusual locations.
ahead.
Soon, Ye Fan saw a piece of snow melting and soaked with blood.
“Found it.”
“With so much blood, I hope it’s not human.”
What a pity.
When the two of them got closer, they saw a human body that had been skinned and decapitated.
"Owl-headed Demon?"
"Skinned Demon?"
The two of them each said a noun and looked at each other, somewhat surprised.
There are now three extremely vicious demons listed in the Demon Slayer Division. Among them, the owl-headed demon has killed many disciples of the Demon Slayer Division. The remaining thoughts have also been echoed in nightmares, which makes Ye Fan Experienced it once.
The Skin-Flayer is a recently emerged evil that will peel off the skin of its victims.
Soon.
A priest rushed here, and after seeing the corpse, his expression changed slightly.
"You two protect me, I will go to the nightmare world to see if there are any remaining clues."
The priest sat on the spot and fell into a dream.
Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.
This world is multi-dimensional but integrated. Traces that cannot be seen in Kyushu may become clear from the perspective of the outside world.
They traced many hidden evil spirits in this way.
Not long after.
The priest woke up, and a blue gourd appeared in his hand. When he opened his eyes, he looked anxious.
"No, the evil spirit has sneaked into the outer city!"
