Chapter 12: Zhong Kui's Ghost Killing Curse late at night. The master is carefully wiping the many magical instruments in his hands, preparing for tomorrow's battle. The man in red is dangerous. He has worked as the chief judge in the Imperial Observatory for many years and has handled dozens of cases, but he has never handled a serious case on his own. Yunniang's situation is too special. She has already stepped half a foot into the threshold of danger. If she cannot be stopped in time, there will be greater sacrifices in the future. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will give it a try. Suddenly, he stopped and looked in a certain direction with sharp eyes. A moment later, there was a sudden knock on the door. A clear voice sounded. "Brother Gao, it's me." The master opened the door and looked at the young man in green cloth with clear and bright eyes under the moonlight with some doubt. Before he could say anything, the other party spoke first, his voice firm and powerful.
"Brother Gao, do me a favor, I can kill her!" "What's the deal?" Zhang Jiuyang took out a portrait of Zhong Kui and said, "Please gather all the painters in Yunhe County overnight!" …… Yunhe County was destined to be restless tonight. The power of the government was fully mobilized. Not only professional painters, but also scholars who had some painting skills and even prostitutes who could paint in brothels were forcibly summoned. They needed to paint 1,500 paintings overnight. The painting shows a man named Tianshi Zhong Kui, who is holding an evil ghost in his hands and has a sword hanging from his waist. Every time they finished a painting, it would be immediately sent by officials to a household in Yunhe County, and they would be told that the object could ward off evil spirits and that they should burn incense and worship it sincerely. And he wanted to hint to the god in the painting that Yunniang could retreat. The two words "Yuniang" were once a taboo in Yunhe County. Now with the death of Aunt Wang, the news of Yunniang's return has quietly spread in the market, and everyone is terrified. Therefore, although they were woken up from their dreams, most people were not angry. Instead, they were grateful to the government and felt at ease. Late in the night at the hour of Yin, all 1,500 paintings were finally completed. All 1,500 households in Qinghe County also received a portrait of Zhong Kui. Of course, during this process, some people were skeptical or even hostile, but Zhang Jiuyang didn't care, as long as most people believed it. At this moment, Zhang Jiuyang was sitting upright on the bluestone in his yard, bathing in the moonlight, his expression becoming more solemn and dignified. He could hear the sound of prayers constantly in his ears, and wisps of incense that only he could see poured into the picture of Zhong Kui chewing ghosts in his sea of consciousness, like a spark that gradually spread across the prairie. The Zhong Kui in the picture becomes more and more spiritual, and the colors gradually spread. This process was originally very slow. Aunt Wang had worshipped for several days, but the accumulated incense only gave the portrait of Zhong Kui a hint of color. But now, with the worship of more than a thousand households in Yunhe County, the process has undoubtedly been greatly accelerated. Zhang Jiuyang suppressed the excitement in his heart. He had a hunch that he would discover the true secret of the visualization diagram tonight! The moon sets and the sun rises, the sky is white.
When the first rays of morning light appeared, the visualization picture in Zhang Jiuyang's mind suddenly burst into brilliant light after absorbing a large amount of incense. The Zhong Kui in the painting was lifelike, almost coming alive. In an instant, Zhang Jiuyang saw that his black eyeballs seemed to move. Immediately afterwards, a majestic, vast, and magnificent voice like thunder rang in his ears, echoing between heaven and earth. "The sky is round and the earth is square, and people can escape from the nine chapters. Azure Dragon helps, White Tiger helps. Kill the evil ghosts first, then eliminate the evil spirits. No demon can resist, no evil dares to resist. Hurry up and obey the order!" Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but recite along, the heat in his body instantly boiling, as if it had transformed from a gurgling stream into hot magma. His hands began to spontaneously form seals, with his ring fingers crossed, his middle fingers pressed inward, and his thumbs crossed. The fingerprint is shaped like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and murderous. The falling leaves around him seemed to sense the invisible edge and automatically avoided him within three feet of his body. Zhong Kui's ghost-killing curse! Zhang Jiuyang suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a kind of captivating divine light hidden in his sharp pupils, which did not look like the eyes of an ordinary person at all. But he soon released his hand seals, and his eyes returned to normal, with a hint of excitement in his pupils. He finally understood the real secret of the visualization diagram! ...outside the door. The master has been guarding all night. He didn't understand what Zhang Jiuyang asked for, but he agreed to it all, just because the other party said he could kill the female ghost. As the only person who has fought with the current Yunniang and is still alive, Zhang Jiuyang's words are undoubtedly valuable. He only has 30% confidence in dealing with Yunniang now. If Zhang Jiuyang can improve this 30% confidence a little more, let alone letting him guard the goal, even if he works like a slave, what's the harm? However, it seems that the boy has not made any movement since he entered into a state of meditation on the bluestone. The sun rises and the morning light is bright. The master stretched himself, his muscles crackling. It’s great to live another day. Just as he was enjoying the morning light, his body suddenly trembled, and then he turned abruptly and looked at the closed door, with surprise and doubt in his eyes. This feeling... Before he could think, Zhang Jiuyang's voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard. It was still clear, but with an indescribable majesty and momentum than before. "The sky is round and the earth is square, and people can escape from the Nine Chapters. Azure Dragon helps, White Tiger helps. Kill the evil ghosts first, then eliminate the evil spirits. No demon can resist, no evil dares to face..." In an instant, the master's face changed drastically. He stretched out his hand and took out a small black jar from his arms. There were mysterious patterns engraved on it. The mouth of the jar was sealed with a yellow talisman and tightly wrapped with an ink line. At this moment, the small black jar kept shaking in his hands, as if something inside was struggling frantically. "How is it possible that you would actually...feel fear?"
The master felt incredible, as the thing sealed in the jar was his last trump card and the key to dealing with Yunniang's 30% chance of success. Only he himself knew how terrifying the contents of the jar were. But now, it seemed to be...scared? The door was slowly opened. Zhang Jiuyang walked out, dressed in green, with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament, his eyes fell on the jar in his hand. The master calmly put away the jar and looked at the young man in front of him, his heart trembled. When he saw Zhang Jiuyang last night, he felt that the other party had undergone some changes, as if there was a transformation in his state of mind. His eyes were bright and his spirits were high. He was actually very envious at that time. The three treasures of the human body are essence, qi and spirit. Among them, essence can be replenished, qi can be trained, but spirit is so mysterious that one can only realize it through one's own efforts. He didn't know what Zhang Jiuyang had experienced at that time, but the young man had benefited greatly, and his future path of cultivation would be smooth. However, he never expected that after another night, the other party would undergo another miraculous change. No wonder he is not even in the first realm. With that little bit of Taoism, he can actually block the possession of a fierce ghost that is about to become a vicious ghost. This kid is not simple. But everyone has secrets, even the master himself has secrets. For example, his black jar is not registered in the Imperial Observatory. A master will not ask about other people's secrets, as long as the other party is not an enemy. "Is everything ready?" "Ready." "I have to remind you that if you go this time, you may die. By then, I may not even be able to save myself, let alone save you!" Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly, without any fear in his eyes, and calmly and calmly said something that puzzled the expert. "Let's go, I'm hungry." "Hungry? Really? Even if we are going to die, we two brothers don't want to die of starvation. Come on, I will treat you to a feast!" "hehe." …… (End of this chapter)
