Chapter 54 Witchcraft

Witchmen also have ancestors who pass away, but unlike the Great Goat Tribe who worship the old fire pit and allow their ancestors to receive incense, their customs dictate that their ancestors are sacrificed to the worms.

Now, with the silent kneeling and prayers of this group of witchmen, these ancestors who have passed away generation after generation are summoned, forming an ancient and bizarre custom.

Realizing this, Hu Ma put away the black bone. The black bone was naturally powerful, but the Five Fiend Gods had already been beheaded. Although his position remained, his spirituality was gone.

With the help of the baleful aura in the bone, Hu Ma could scare away those guests in the hall, but not those outside.

This group of witchmen, through generations of sacrifice and inner piety, with each generation of ancestor spirits becoming sacrifices to the Gu worms, had refined something powerful and terrifying. Hu Ma could only describe it as an evil god.

He remembered what Er Guo Tou had told him before coming to the blood ore mine: the guests in the hall are naturally powerful, with different levels of status, but those unappointed village evil spirits also have their own ranks.

*You, Xie, E, Feng!* (Wandering, Evil, Malicious, Self-proclaimed God)

Now, these witchmen were clearly because of their piety, coupled with generations of worship, had worshiped an evil thing that exceeded evil spirits and possessed mysterious power, or even higher?

Simply put, this thing was a strange existence combining the forms of witchcraft and the old fire pit.

“This is insane, Monkey Wine's original intention was to kill this thing?”

Hu Ma was secretly shocked. He hadn't felt it before, but now the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Monkey Wine was incredibly bold…

How to fight this thing?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Master Sun, who had entered the hall, was already subconsciously retreating. Those who entered the hall could be said to be powerful, but now they were facing something that could not be measured normally.

Those who entered the hall, no matter how strong, were only individuals, but the one outside already belonged to the tribe's totem. There was no way that thing could be compared with an individual.

It seemed that he couldn't cooperate with Monkey Wine…

According to Monkey Wine's previous plan, he was still thinking of killing this thing after it truly came to the human world and had a body. That was pure wishful thinking. It was already terrifying as it was now.

As he was thinking, the Gu worm possessed by the patriarch of the Wu clan in the valley also made a few intermittent cries.

The sound was full of pain and determination. He also knew that he had finally used this last method, and what price the clansmen would pay for this method.

Just like when the Dharma King of the Yiqian Sect invited the Lotus Mother from the hall, he was burning himself like a candle. Now this group of witchmen were using the same method, using worship to invite this "Witch God" to appear.

In terms of cultivation, naturally no witchman could compare with the Dharma King, but the combined efforts of all the witchmen were far greater than the Dharma King's. The magic power contained in the things they summoned was naturally unimaginably powerful.

It was just that afterwards, this group of witchmen would probably lose their lifespan, or even die.

But since it had already begun, he still issued the final order. Therefore, the witchmen who were silently worshiping outside the valley simultaneously made murmuring whispers, which sounded like some kind of strange prayer.

As the shadows shrouded them with the sound of prayer, they became heavier and heavier, already submerging the entire forest outside.

The huge shadow was so heavy that it seemed to transform into a Gu basin. From this Gu basin, it seemed that something was slowly crawling out. As it crawled out, its shadow was brandishing its claws, and bit by bit covered the valley.

“Chī chī…”

Just the sound of that thing crawling out was already extremely uncomfortable, and there was a suffocating feeling as if worms were crawling all over the body. Even covering the ears could not stop the sound.

And the constantly spreading and changing shadow seemed to have mysterious and strange power, wanting to engulf the entire valley.

The little light of the red lanterns hanging on the memorial archway was simply vulnerable in front of this huge black shadow, and would be completely swallowed in an instant.

“It's terrible, run for your lives…”

In the valley, Old Abacus's goatee was upturned in fright, and he shouted, “This thing cannot be dealt with by a person. It must be a god from the hall to come here in person to solve it…”

“Even those who are invited onto the body can't withstand it…”

On the other side, Mr. Tieqiao Sun San was even more frightened, and immediately had the idea of escaping, looking around for a way to survive, but he was entangled in his heart. Did he really not want this Dharma King and those disciples and grandchildren?

“Hū…”

But at the same time, looking at the red lanterns floating in the air, Hu Ma took a deep breath, glanced at the direction of Monkey Wine in the valley, and muttered silently in his heart: “You said you wanted to kill this kind of thing, and I also cooperated with you…”

“I just hope you kid, don't let me down…”

“……”

After saying this, he suddenly glared, the three pillars of Daoism were all in the incense burner, his whole body turned to death, a piece of coldness ran straight from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, his cold eyes were deep, and at the same time he shouted loudly: “Master Sun, come and give me a hand!”

“Eh?”

Hearing his loud shout, Master Tieqiao Sun, who was about to slip away, was stunned, and turned his head in surprise: “Who are you calling?”

“What am I doing with you?”

“Are you kid so impolite to people?”

“……”

“We are all of the New Year's Eve Watchers lineage, and we can't tell the difference between insiders and outsiders. In this valley are either our shidi (junior apprentice brother) and buddies, or your disciples and friends. Do you want to watch them die?”

Hu Ma shouted sharply, and at the same time, facing the extremely deep and shadowy existence that twisted blurrily in the darkness outside, he shouted sharply, but instead strode out of the valley. The red lanterns seemed to have produced a strange phenomenon, and spilled a strange blood light.

“Good!”

Master Sun also wanted face, and liked to talk about seniority in the New Year's Eve Watchers lineage. Hearing Hu Ma said this, and everyone in the valley looked at him, he also shouted sharply.

This was one thing at a time, although they had just fought, wasn't it different now?

In the loud shout, he had already rushed forward a few steps, standing on the left and right sides of the memorial archway with Hu Ma.

At the same time, the thing in the Gu basin was crawling faster and faster, and higher and higher. Its shadow was projected bigger and bigger, and it was quickly spreading towards this valley.

“Hē!”

Hu Ma and Master Sun, both stood outside the memorial archway, standing on both sides, facing the black shadow that was clearly invisible, but had an inexplicable terrifying horror, suddenly made a movement at the same time, one hugged his hands lightly, and bowed forward.

One left fist and right palm, heavily struck each other.

“Huālā!”

The Four Ghosts Bowing at the Gate and Master Sun's stunt were used at the same time. It could be seen that both of them were full of ghostly aura, like two evil ghosts guarding the gate. It seemed that the memorial archway had become a gate to hell, and the whistling Yin Qi was rotating around their bodies, and they temporarily blocked the spread of the shadow.

“Chī chī chī chī…”

The thing crawling out of the huge black shadow did not expect that someone would block its path. The chaotic and strange sounds became more rapid.

The shadow was like a monster with claws and teeth, eagerly wanting to devour the two and pour into the valley.

But by chance, those who blocked the way were not others, but two New Year's Eve Watchers who had entered the hall. No matter how strange the power was, they could withstand it for a while. With them guarding the memorial archway, not to mention entering the valley, even the red lanterns above their heads had not been extinguished.

“Kid, it's time to take action…”

But they knew their own pressure. Even if Master Sun entered the hall, he would never want to fight with this thing. For the sake of face, he helped Hu Ma to block it, and roared.

This young New Year's Eve Watcher who entered the hall clearly had a great background. Since he asked himself to come and help, he must want to buy some time to use other moves. In addition, he couldn't just leave everyone and run away, so he agreed.

But if this kid didn't have any other moves, he would just let go and go back to refine for another thirty to fifty years before coming back to fight this thing.

This was also his confidence in coming back. Blocking it was just blocking it, anyway, he could still run if he couldn't block it.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he had this thought in his mind, Hu Ma, who bowed deeply to the black shadow and prevented it from entering the door, suddenly withdrew and left all the pressure to Master Sun.

“?”

Master Sun was stunned: “Young people are so unethical?”

But fortunately, Hu Ma didn't turn around and run away, but took two steps back, pulled out the sawtooth knife and stuck it on the ground, borrowing the baleful aura on the knife to temporarily block it.

At the same time, he stepped on the steps in the Book of Suppressing Evil, quickly took seven steps, and stretched out his hand, sternly shouting: “Sword, come!”

Xiao Hongtang, who was on standby at any time, grabbed the red wooden sword and ran out, reversing the sword handle halfway and handing the red wooden sword to Hu Ma's hand. In the next moment, Hu Ma's steps had also been completed, standing in a position he had chosen long ago.

A few days ago, in the name of preventing the witchmen, when he took people on patrol, he had secretly set up one arrangement after another, and prepared to set up an altar, but he was still missing the last thing to suppress it.

And now, his whole body turned to death, faint and swaying, he was a thing to suppress it, used to fill the last gap in the altar.

This was his first benefit after entering the hall as a New Year's Eve Watcher. He finally had the opportunity to try to combine the two abilities of New Year's Eve Watching and Walking Ghosts into one.

Standing here, the altar had been completed, watching the huge and terrifying black shadow, holding the red wooden sword, pointed at the red lantern, and shouted:

“Red lantern hides the ghost moth Qiaojiao, Niangniang's chariot passes the Underworld Bridge!”

“Red Lantern Niangniang help me…”

“……”

But that was just a superficial effort. In secret, he was pinching seals and stamping his feet, chanting the Spell of Eliminating the Years: “The four corners of heaven and earth listen to my orders, gods and ghosts, and souls must not stay, the divine light dissolves all evil spirits, the bright world is clear!”

“My words are commands, my commands are law, quickly!”

“……”

The Book of Suppressing the Years contains the four great spells of Imprisonment, Shackling, Elimination, and Killing. Now Hu Ma finally had the opportunity to use the spell of “Elimination”.
