Chapter 14 "Did I Teach Him This?"

Aunt Zhang’s mind was already in chaos, but looking at Hu Ma’s smiling face, she suddenly realized, could it be that she actually taught him this?

However, she had only taught him the most rudimentary methods for temporary emergency use. Moreover, the reason he could set up the altar and invite spirits was because the Red Lantern Goddess of their association was kind and generous. How could this little shopkeeper take it so seriously?

Hu Ma, of course, didn't explain. He had already taken various items from Xiao Hongtang's hands and quickly arranged them around. There was a brazier, a straw figure, and rice scattered around, a handful to the west, a circle to the west – a chaotic arrangement.

When she saw him stick three incense sticks into the ground and place an oil lamp in front of him, truly preparing to set up the altar, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say, "Where did you find these sinister suppressing objects? This altar... this altar isn't right!"

"You are originally a Shou Sui Ren (Guardian of the Year). Setting up an altar with evil energy, and then using such evil suppressing objects, isn't that... isn't that asking for big trouble?"

"..."

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, then smiled. The person in front of him was his master in the ghost path, and of course, if the master said his altar was set up incorrectly, then it was indeed incorrect.

So he smiled and said, "I haven't mastered it yet. Why doesn't Aunt Zhang personally set up this altar?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment: "?"

"Yes."

Hu Ma said, "That evil ghost offended Aunt Zhang. It would be most appropriate for Aunt Zhang to set up the altar and take it down. Besides, Aunt Zhang doesn't have to worry about not being able to take it down. Our Seventh Great-Aunt is watching here, isn't she?"

Hearing her name mentioned, Seventh Great-Aunt immediately revealed a happy smile and nodded to Aunt Zhang, indicating that she was indeed watching!

Aunt Zhang was so excited that she couldn't imagine it. She was prepared to die to subdue the evil ghost, but she couldn't succeed. Unexpectedly, there was a turning point, and now this opportunity was waiting for her?

With her own magic power, using the old objects and edicts left by the Suppression Office, she couldn't subdue that evil ghost. How could simply setting up an altar possibly subdue it?

But coincidentally, this mysterious old lady was watching her. Thinking of her scene of angrily scolding the Five Fiends Evil Ghost just now, Aunt Zhang also felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. Perhaps it really could be done?

This mysterious old lady could angrily scold the Five Fiends Evil Ghost, so her identity was certainly not simple, and even she couldn't see through her cultivation...

...In her eyes, she didn't seem to have much cultivation at all. This could only mean that her magic power was shallow and she couldn't see through it.

Looking around, the baleful aura here was surging, the sounds of killing were deafening in the distance, and high-level experts were fighting in the village, with ghosts wailing. It was a fierce place within a fierce place, even fiercer than the place where the two-headed snake appeared. It was definitely not a good place to set up an altar.

But Aunt Zhang was a woman of strong character, and the more it was like this, the less she thought about it. She nodded vigorously and said, "Then let me set up this altar and subdue that evil ghost, I..."

"Even if I die with it, I will be willing!"

"..."

Saying that, she quickly used the things Hu Ma had taken out and arranged them one by one in the most regulated manner. Originally, she also had a set of tools, but because she knew that they would not work against the Five Fiends Evil Ghost, she did not bring them with her.

But using the things Hu Ma prepared was the same, only the arrangement was different. The altar Aunt Zhang set up was extremely orderly and solemn. When she lit the oil lamp, she also became serious all of a sudden, silently chanting in her mouth:

"Heaven is spiritual, earth is spiritual, people are energetic, gods transform."

"I pay respects, invite the Five Fiends, invite the Five Fiends to descend to the altar, with great kindness and courtesy, I thank you for your presence!"

"..."

After chanting the spell, she suddenly raised her palm, and with the other hand, she pulled out the copper hairpin inserted in her head and drew it across her palm. She clenched her fist, and fresh blood dripped in front of the altar.

After all, the little shopkeeper was not a true ghost walker and was not proficient. The prepared suppressing objects were incomplete, and a sacrifice was missing. But Aunt Zhang didn't have the mind to find it for him, so she directly cut her palm and offered blood as a sacrifice.

As for the spell to invite the Five Fiends, it was also very polite. This was the rule of the ghost walker's path, no matter what they were invited for, they had to give the other party enough respect.

"Huff..."

The altar had been set up, and a cold wind blew past. Aunt Zhang was slightly surprised. She originally thought that setting up an altar in such a fierce place would cost her half her life, but unexpectedly, setting up this altar was surprisingly smooth.

She glanced at Seventh Great-Aunt next to her, thinking that she was helping. She saw the old lady with a smile on her face, unhurried, and her heart was immediately settled.

"With the Emperor’s fate, even if this place looks fierce and baleful, it is still good feng shui. Aunt Zhang's cultivation should greatly improve this time!"

At the same time, Hu Ma was watching from the side, silently retreating slightly, and silently chanting in his mouth: "Heaven is the witness, earth is the proof. Let the living not open their eyes, let the ghosts and gods not linger."

"Eight Direction Warriors, receive my decree, the soldiers and horses of the altar, listen to my command, quickly arrest the Five Fiends to meet me, destroy mountains and cut down temples to take responsibility for their crimes!"

"My word is the decree, my decree is the law!"

"Go!"

"..."

"..."

In that instant, a rolling gale circled the altar, and a solemn aura filled the altar. Even Aunt Zhang was startled by the movement and fixed her eyes on the altar.

The two straw figures that Hu Ma had made actually moved.

Vaguely, they transformed into two black-robed warriors, turned around and saluted Hu Ma, then strode forward, left the manor, and went straight towards Huang Gou (Yellow Dog) Village.

Wherever they passed, the solemnity shook people's hearts. Not only those evil spirits who had been forcibly brought by the Five Fiends Evil Ghost to attend the wedding feast, but they suddenly felt a great majesty and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. The ancestral tablets offered by the villagers all turned their heads to face the wall.

...

...

"How dare he?"

At this time, the Five Fiends God could not see what Hu Ma was doing after he left the battlefield, but he sensed the changes in that battlefield of slaughter. Just these changes were enough to make him furious.

But if you carefully distinguish, you can faintly feel that this anger sounds more like he is hiding his fear.

That thin-命 (thin life) kid couldn't bear such a great fate. His participation in this kind of thing was a death sentence for the guest of honor. That slaughter field would kill the little negative-spirit person who participated in any inexplicable form.

But he couldn't see how Hu Ma did it, but he could feel the changes in fate.

For Hu Ma, it was just receiving arrows and giving knives, but for him, it felt like the other party had suddenly avoided the death tribulation brought by the abundant baleful aura, and even immediately after that, his luck was rising, and he had already suppressed the part of the baleful aura that he had caused.

He could even feel that after this tribulation, the other party's momentum had risen sharply and vaguely had the meaning of the five fortunes adding to his body, suppressing the baleful aura he had brought.

"I told you that your vision and pattern are not enough..."

The Mountain Lord next to him seemed to be watching his joke. Since his appearance, he had never really fought with the Five Fiends Evil Ghost, nor had he broken the rules, but not fighting did not prevent him from moving his mouth:

"In your eyes, that is the Emperor's fate, but in the eyes of the Ten Surnames, it is just a treasure. Once created, it can break your Five Fiends formation. You have worked so hard to come and plan to find out the other party's bottom line. Now, how do you feel about what you have found out?"

"..."

The Five Fiends Evil Ghost had always been fierce and evil before, but at this moment, he had lost that fierceness. It looked like his fierce appearance just now was all faked.

The Emperor in the eyes of the people in the path is not the Emperor, but a treasure. He was accumulating treasures and creating baleful aura, causing this chaos, which seemed like a natural place of worship, but the other party also created a treasure, which restrained all of his.

Because it was the truth, he did not roar angrily, but suddenly his eyebrows were stern and he looked at the Mountain Lord: "This is not something their family can do..."

"So I said you left too early."

The Mountain Lord just looked at him coldly and said lightly: "You don't know what the descendants of the Hu family are like."

"I can also tell you, that kid..."

He paused slightly before saying lightly: "Sometimes when he gets ruthless, even I am a little scared..."

"So what?"

The Five Fiends God seemed to have been told something on his mind, his voice suddenly became fierce and he shouted sharply: "Now it's too late to turn back. The Hu family is no longer a force to be reckoned with. No matter what he does now, he will eventually die. Do you think the Ten Surnames can tolerate him?"

"When the Hu surname is removed from the list, even you will be implicated!"

"..."

"Yes."

The Mountain Lord looked at him coldly and said in a low voice: "You only saw that the Ten Surnames can't tolerate him, but haven't you ever thought about whether the Ten Surnames can leave him?"

"You..."

The Five Fiends Evil Ghost seemed to be suddenly touched by the fear and anger in his heart, and his baleful aura soared.

But no one expected that in the roar, the Wei family's son-in-law, who was standing between the green tents and shouting angrily, suddenly fell to the ground, but a black baleful aura spewed out from his seven orifices.

The dry well in Yellow Dog Village that had been filled in long ago suddenly exploded, and a black smoke poured into the well, and a steady stream of sewage gushed out of the well.

The Five Fiends God had disappeared, and he had left directly.

However, what was his cultivation level? Just by descending for such a short moment, the Wei family's son-in-law could no longer bear it. With his departure, he immediately turned into a dry bone with withered flesh and blood, and he fell to the ground, no longer alive.

He descended here, borrowed the body of the Wei family's son-in-law to rant and scold, but he never actually fought with the Mountain Lord, let alone the Hu family's descendant who had not shown his face outside the village, and his own magic power was not damaged in any way.

Fighting magic, his Five Fiends formation had been broken by the Emperor's fate, so he admitted defeat and left here without hesitation.

Of course, if he leaves now, he will not be able to return without the summon of the altar envoy.

It is equivalent to a complete defeat, but after all, he has not lost anything.

The guest of honor wanted to leave, and he left by borrowing this water well. Even the blue tent that had divided the entire village could not stop him, and the Mountain Lord had no intention of stopping him.

He just raised his head and sighed softly in the night sky: "I told you you weren't smart enough..."

"You want to leave as soon as you see something bad. Do you really think you are here to fight magic, to show off your power if you win, and to admit defeat and leave if you lose?"

"People wanted to kill you from the very beginning to establish their prestige..."
