Chapter 137 Dharma Altar
"Goo-"

A strange sound came from outside the front hall, which made people feel frightened in the dark night.

Dozens of people present gathered together in panic, and no one dared to take a step forward.

They all knew that there was a vicious creature outside the front hall that could suck human blood. Whoever stepped forward at this moment would surely die, just like the man lying on the ground.

They all looked at Boss Zhao, hoping that the eldest master could think of some solutions.

After all, Boss Zhao has been in charge all these years, so everyone naturally trusts him.

But at this moment, Boss Zhao could hardly protect himself, because he also knew what was outside.

"I think the person outside should be my grandfather." Boss Zhao finally said it, his expression was decadent and bitter. "I don't know why things turned out like this, it shouldn't be like this."

"Sure enough, I felt an evil aura when I entered this house. Young master, please tell me the situation truthfully. Perhaps there is a way." Li Daoxuan said to Boss Zhao.

"Master, do you really have a solution?" Boss Zhao asked tremblingly. Although he had been doing business for many years, the situation was critical now and even he was anxious and exhausted.

"Tell me the truth first!" Li Daoxuan nodded.

"This matter is a private affair of our Zhao family. Please follow me to this side room, young Taoist priest." Boss Zhao took a deep breath and seemed to have decided to tell Li Daoxuan everything.

Li Daoxuan naturally followed him into the side room, but he quietly held the talisman in his hand to prevent any accidents.

Boss Zhao stood in the side room, looking at the portrait inside and said, "The evil creature outside must be my grandfather. Some time ago, there were some strange movements in the coffin, but we did nothing and just offered incense and worship every day!"

"Why not let the old man rest in peace?" Li Daoxuan asked.

"This story started twelve years ago," said Mr. Zhao. "At that time, my family was just a small landlord in Zhaojia Village. Although we had enough food and clothing, we didn't have much wealth. Then one day, my father met the eldest son of the Wang family in Jinling, and from him he got to know a master. The master told my father that my grandfather was a lucky star who would die in a year, and that his body would be a blessed body that would protect our Zhao family from prosperity."

"My father was very happy at the time and asked the Taoist what to do. The Taoist said that when the time comes, we only need to put my grandfather's body into a red coffin and tie it up with gold thread. Finally, place it in the ancestral temple and enjoy incense every day, and then we will be blessed with good fortune and protect the Zhao family."

"My father discussed this matter with me after he came back. However, the clan members would certainly not agree to keep the body in the Zhao family ancestral hall. So my father and I sold the land and property in Zhaojia Village, came here and bought a new house. We also built a small ancestral hall behind the house and placed the tablets of our ancestors. The whole family moved here and waited for my grandfather to pass away. After my grandfather passed away, we placed his body in this ancestral hall for worship. But who knew that my father came back a few days ago with a panicked look on his face, and he was seriously ill as soon as he came back. After lying in bed for a few days and recovering from the illness, he said that he wanted to move my grandfather's coffin out of the ancestral hall. Who knew that my father went into the ancestral hall that day, and when he came back, he was a completely different person."

"Now that I have encountered such a thing, I think it is related to my grandfather. This is such an ugly thing, I can't speak up. It is considered unfilial if the elders are not buried in peace after death. I don't want my father to bear this unfilial reputation, please forgive me, Taoist priest."

"So that's how it is. I understand." Li Daoxuan nodded, but in his heart he didn't completely believe what Boss Zhao said.

There were some discrepancies between what Boss Zhao and Third Zhao said, and the details were quite different. It was obvious that Boss Zhao was still hiding something from him and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Li Daoxuan thought about the strange things he had encountered in recent days, and secretly guessed that the Zhao family's method of sacrifice might not be as simple as burning incense. If it was just that, the body would not have turned into a green zombie. To be able to create such a corpse evil, it must be that they had set up a Feng Shui layout to gather Yin and raise the corpse, or... what Zhao Laosan had mentioned to him, a living sacrifice!
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan shuddered.

He didn't say anything for the time being, but just nodded in response to Boss Zhao's words.

Seeing Li Daoxuan nod, Boss Zhao's expression became a lot more relaxed.

He walked up to Li Daoxuan and bowed respectfully to him: "Please help me solve this matter, Master. I will definitely reward you generously."

"Even if the eldest master didn't say it, I wouldn't ignore it. It's our Taoist's duty to eliminate demons and defend the way of Taoism." Li Daoxuan said righteously.

"I need something. Is there anything in the front hall?"

"Taoist Master, please speak."

"It's date pits, candles, sticky rice, and roosters."

"There are still some dates in the hall. There are also two roosters, which I happened to bring with me on this trip. I planned to slaughter them and put them in the pot tomorrow, so I tied them in front of the door of the hall. As for candles, we have them in the hall, so there is no shortage of them. But there is no glutinous rice," said Boss Zhao, with a worried look on his face.

"If there's none, then there's none. Take out the cores from the dates and the blood from the rooster. Get ready quickly!" Li Daoxuan glanced at Boss Zhao.

If someone were to go to the village to ask for sticky rice, there would surely be some, but at this moment, who could be allowed to go out? Who would dare to go out?

"Okay! Okay! I'll ask someone to prepare it for you, Taoist priest. Please help." Boss Zhao said, and hurried out of the side room. Li Daoxuan was left in the side room, looking at the portrait on the wall.

He untied the sword case on his back, took out the iron sword and the peach wood sword, stuffed several yellow talismans around his waist, then pinched the sword fingers with both hands at the same time, pointed his arms left and right, made the Chao Yuan gesture, and chanted the Six Ding and Six Jia techniques.

"Dingchou prolongs my life, Dinghai arrests my soul. Dingyou controls my spirit, Dingwei wards off my disaster. Dingsi saves me from danger, Dingmao saves me from disaster. Jiazi protects my body, Jiaxu preserves my form. Jiashen secures my life, Jiawu protects my soul. Jiachen calms my spirit, Jiayin nurtures my true self. Hurry up and obey the order!"

As I stepped on my right foot, I felt a sense of comfort all over my body. The creepy feeling as if I was electrocuted disappeared, and my soul felt extremely peaceful.

The Six Ding and Six Jia protective spell is now considered Li Daoxuan's specialty. This spell can protect the body and the soul. It is truly a very useful spell. Chanting it daily will keep you safe from ghosts and gods.

After getting everything ready, Li Daoxuan walked out of the side room.

He saw that Boss Zhao had already prepared everything for him and was waiting for him to come out.

"Master, these are the things you need." said Boss Zhao.

"Good." Li Daoxuan looked at the things on the table, nodded and smiled. "Master, please take down the incense burner on the table and bring some more incense sticks."

"Okay!" Boss Zhao hurriedly asked someone to get the incense burner and incense.

At this moment, the noise outside became more and more frequent, as if some ferocious beast was eyeing the front hall. The low roars came, and the walls of the front hall could be heard banging. But it seemed that something was blocking it, and it was difficult to enter the front hall.

Everyone present turned pale and looked around in horror.

"By the way, young master, is there any yellow cloth here?" Li Daoxuan asked tentatively. He looked around the small front room but did not see any yellow cloth.

"Have!"

Li Daoxuan was delighted when he heard this: "Get it here quickly!"

"It's in the toilet cabinet, go get it quickly!" Boss Zhao immediately said to the servant.

After a while, the servant came over with a yellow cloth.

Li Daoxuan spread out the yellow cloth on the table, and then set up the incense burner. The rooster had been killed, and its blood was put in a bowl. He also asked someone to pour clean water and soak dozens of jujube pits in it.

Light the candles on the table and the simple altar is ready.

Li Daoxuan stood in front of the altar. He lit the incense and bowed forward.

"I now invite you to be a god. My disciple Li Daoxuan has an urgent matter. I respectfully request the Grandmaster to come and help me. I will obey the order of the Supreme Lord Lao, and the divine soldiers will act as if ordered!"

Recite it three times, insert the incense into the incense burner, then take out the peach wood sword and draw chicken blood across the sword.

"Please ask the Peach Wood Sword God to descend upon the human world and patrol the heaven and earth. Don't be afraid of anyone who harms me. I will sacrifice my flying sword to kill the evildoers. I am following the command of the Flying Sword Ancestor. The divine weapons are as urgent as the law!"

When the sword passed through the candle, a fire blazed up and a fire dragon burned along the scratch of the chicken blood, emitting golden flames.

Li Daoxuan shook the sword, thrust it toward the outside of the house, and shouted, "Fight!"

Then I heard howling coming from outside the house, as if someone had been hurt, and there was pain in the howling.

At this time, Li Daoxuan quickly took out a talisman and held it in his hand. He stepped on the magic circle and chanted towards the altar: "The eight trigrams are spiritual, commanding the heavenly soldiers. The sixty-four generals have clear retribution. Draw the bow and shoot the arrow, and the sky is full of anger. Use my mind method to mobilize millions of soldiers. Draw the bow and shoot the arrow, protect the law. All the laws are of the same mind, Qianyuan Hengli Zhen. The three realms obey the talisman, and the eight trigrams Qiankun capture the monsters. The world of the living recites the Qiankun spell, and the underworld turns into tens of millions of soldiers. The sixty-four generals follow the order, I follow the order of Fuxi and King Wen, and the divine soldiers are as urgent as the law!"

"It's time to slay the evil and eliminate the demons!"

After saying that, he picked up the date pits in the bowl, jumped up, and flew out of the house.

"Hey! You beast! Why don't you surrender immediately!"
