He hoped that this child could endure it.
In the courtyard, Ninth Uncle was lying on a rattan chair and basking in the sun. He was holding the peach wood that Xu Yan had bought from the town. He was thinking about breaking down the peach wood and making a few ordinary peach wood swords for his three disciples to practice with.
Ninth Uncle turned back to look at Xu Yan's room and sighed in his heart.
Although he already had two disciples, he still hoped that Xu Yan could inherit his mantle. The two disciples were not at ease in the mid-autumn and would leave after a long time. Wen Cai was a straightforward person with a simple and honest personality. This kind of person was suitable to guard the memorial hall, but his learning speed was so slow that it made one's hair stand on end.
Xu Yan was obedient, sensible, and steady. He wasn't as impatient as Qiu Sheng, and he had a high learning ability. Moreover, he could bear hardships and stand hard work.
Ever since they started learning the fist technique, they had been practicing every day even when it was raining. This was something that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai did not have.
Although Qiu Sheng had high achievements in martial arts, as a Taoist priest, magic was the first foundation.
Ninth Uncle didn't want to comment. He had been with him for many years, but he couldn't even draw the simplest talisman.
He would teach Xu Yan how to make talismans the next day. After making up his mind, Ninth Uncle continued to study the peach wood in his hand.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Cai woke Xu Yan up. As he had to go to Li Village, which was ten miles away, he had dinner early. After dinner, he rested for a while. Ninth Uncle put the things he had prepared in a bag and took Xu Yan away from the mortuary to Li Village.
"Master, is it a ghost or a demon that appeared in Li Village?!”
On the way, Xu Yan displayed his talent of asking questions when he didn't understand and asked Ninth Uncle.
As an intellectual, he did not treat Taoism spells as feudal superstition like other overseas returnees. He asked if he did not understand and was diligent and eager to learn. This made Ninth Uncle more and more satisfied with Xu Yan.
As long as Xu Yan asked, he would teach them one by one.
In this day and age, anything that happened would cause a stir, and the slogan was very unified: haunted!
The main character of the haunted incident in Li Village might really be a ghost, a demon, or even a zombie.
"It's said that it's haunted. We need to check it out personally.”
" Remember," Ninth Uncle said." As a disciple of Mao Mountain, you can't listen to one-sided words at any time. Otherwise, you'll ruin the great event."”
"Master, what is the most powerful thing among ghosts, demons, and zombies? The hardest to deal with?"
Many people would be curious about this question. Even if they knew that these ghosts and monsters were closely related to their own cultivation, they would still guess which of the three was the most difficult to deal with.
Ninth Uncle was speechless when he heard that. He said earnestly,
"Everything has to do with the cultivation base of the ghosts and monsters. However, under normal circumstances, demons are the easiest to deal with.”
Comparing ghosts, demons, and zombies, Ninth Uncle gave a more accurate answer.
"Why?"
Compared to ghosts and zombies, demons seemed to be more difficult to cultivate and form. In the end, they were the easiest to deal with?
"Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually dissipating, it is difficult for demons to cultivate. Their attainments are usually not too high, but ghosts and zombies are different.”
Speaking of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, Ninth Uncle sighed. It was not only difficult for demons to cultivate, but it was also the same for Taoists. Each generation was getting worse and worse. If it was not for the merit of Taoists catching ghosts and demons, it would be even more difficult to cultivate.
As they explained, the master and disciple soon arrived at the Li Family Village.
Without any entertainment facilities, most people in this era would start to rest after dark. However, the Li Family Village was brightly lit, and the entire village was guarding the village ancestral hall. Everyone looked nervous, as if they were afraid of something.
"He's here, Ninth Uncle is here!”
Ninth Uncle was very famous around Ren Jia Town. He would ask him for help with any matter, even if most people did not want it to happen.
Ninth Uncle brought Xu Yan into the village and was surrounded by a group of villagers. They were all talking non-stop.
"Everyone, quiet down!!”
"Who can tell me what happened?" Ninth Uncle raised his hand and shouted.”
"Make way, make way!"
The Li Family Village Chief went forward and asked the villagers to be quiet." Ninth Uncle, you don't know. Our Li Family Village used to live a peaceful life. Who knew that there would be a ghost? Several people have died. This... Sigh!"
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Tell me the cause of this matter first. I will definitely subdue that monster.”Ninth Uncle raised his hand to appease the villagers and began to gather information.
How strange!
Standing behind Ninth Uncle and listening to the old village chief sigh, Xu Yan felt goosebumps all over his body. It was really haunted!!!
"It started a few days ago. We were building a road in our village, but who knew that the abandoned graves by the roadside would be dug up. No one noticed and was prepared to collect the bones and bury them separately. Who knew that something would happen that night?”
The old village sighed repeatedly. The road construction was originally a good thing, but who knew that it would lead to a pile of disasters? Several people died in succession, and each of them died in a miserable manner. It was abnormally terrifying.
"Can you bring me to take a look?”
Ninth Uncle could not make up his mind just by listening to the old village's story. He suggested that they go and take a look at the excavated grave.
The old village chief immediately sent a few young men with Ninth Uncle and Xu Yan to investigate.
"Strange."
Because something had happened, the barren tomb was still in its original state.
Ninth Uncle checked the compass, but he did not find a place with dense ghost energy. He squatted down and picked up the soil on the ground to take a look." This should be just an ordinary grave. Why would there be ghosts killing people?”
Under normal circumstances, other than some malicious ghosts that were on the verge of being born due to extremely heavy Yin Qi, or those who were too resentful and died to become malicious ghosts, ordinary graves would not be harmed even if they were dug up and the bones were buried again.
"Do you know the identity of the owner of this grave?"
Ninth Uncle asked the young men who were leading the way.
"No, I don't know."
The few young people who came to lead the way were appointed by the old village. Otherwise, no one would be willing to come. At the moment, they were all nervous and kept looking around. They were very afraid.
"Master, what's wrong?" Xu Yan was curious.
Ninth Uncle put away the compass and frowned." If I'm not wrong, that ghost has nothing to do with this tomb. It might be an outsider."”
The grave was in the Li Family Village. Without a tombstone, no one knew the identity of the owner. Some ancient graves were not taken care of by descendants. It was not strange that their identities were forgotten over time.
"Take me to see the deceased."
Since there was no problem with the grave, then he had to find the key from the dead.
" In a place where the Yin energy is not strong, there are very few powerful ghosts and monsters, let alone harming people. Don't learn from those third-rate cooked foods. They listen to the wind and rain and do whatever they want for money.”
The Yin Qi here wasn't heavy?
Xu Yan looked around and felt uncomfortable all over. Indeed, it was the middle of the night in the wilderness, and it was even beside a grave. It made one's hair stand on end.
