After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 793 The aloof swordsman, trouble in the bridal chamber!

"Chen Yang, Chen Yang..."

The sound continued, calling out.

Chen Yang was clearly aware that he was in a dream, and everything around him looked so real.

An illusion of reality.

He had experienced this scene before, so he wasn't flustered.

"who are you?"

Chen Yang shouted towards the churning darkness ahead.

The sound rolled out.

The calling voice abruptly stopped.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, a suffocating stillness.

"Help me, Chen Yang, help me..."

I don't know how much time passed, but the voice came again, repeating the same words as before.

Chen Yang was speechless, feeling a sense of foreboding. "How can I save you?"

"The jar, the jar, open it, open it..."

The voice was like a ghost's chant, finally revealing some additional information besides the plea for help.

Open the jar?

So it really was the thing in the jar causing the trouble?
Chen Yang frowned slightly. "Who exactly are you?"

"Save me, save me..."

When Chen Yang asked the other person for their identity, the other person did not answer, but just kept shouting for help.

"If you don't tell me who you are, I can't save you," Chen Yang said directly.

He wouldn't be that stupid. How could he rashly try to open the jar before figuring out what was inside?

"Help me, help me, Chen Yang, help me..."

The voice seemed not to understand Chen Yang's words, and just kept repeating them.

Chen Yang frowned as he listened.

"Chen Yang, wake up!"

Just as he was about to ask more questions, a voice suddenly came from the void.

The next second, the surrounding chaotic darkness rapidly receded, and a white light appeared before Chen Yang's eyes. It was as if he had traveled through time and space, instantly escaping from that strange dream.

When he opened his eyes, everything was already bright.

Sunlight streamed through the window frame into the room, making it bright and clean; it was already high in the sky.

The night passed quickly. Chen Yang rubbed the sleep from the corners of his eyes and felt somewhat tired.

He had just had a dream, and it felt like only a moment had passed, yet a whole night had gone by.

My gaze fell on the bedside table, where the jar was still standing there, as always.

I pulled up the system panel and checked the properties.

“Primordial Spirit: 11055”.

11055?

He clearly remembered that his primordial spirit value was 11045 when he went to sleep last night.

In other words, it inexplicably rose by 10 points.

It's probably really related to this jar.

"Old Tree, Old Leaf, did you wake me up?" Chen Yang asked.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree smiled bitterly, "We called you all night, but you didn't respond at all. We all suspected you had fallen into a deep sleep."

The Five Thunder Immortal said, "It was the Stone Spirit that awakened you."

"Stone Spirit?"

Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly as he picked up the small bag hanging from his waist.

Inside was the stone bead that the stone spirit parasitized.

"Senior, you're awake?" Chen Yang asked hurriedly.

"Ah."

Shi Ling's voice quickly appeared in Chen Yang's mind, "The scent of this jar woke me up. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a few more days. Don't put this jar by your bedside anymore, and don't let it be exposed to moonlight..."

Chen Yang was slightly taken aback. "What exactly is in this jar?"

"I do not know either."

Shi Ling answered decisively, "However, I can sense a very familiar aura emanating from this jar, seemingly the aura of the divine being who left scriptures on my stone body back then..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang was quite surprised to hear this.

Shi Ling once said that a divine being passed by Dawa Mountain and carved the text of the "Three Ones and Five Teeth Scripture" on its stone body.

She could read the text of the scriptures, so the divine being must have intentionally imparted his power to her.

In other words, this jar is related to the divine person who left behind the "Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra"?

“This jar was absorbing your life energy last night. I don’t know why. Don’t do anything rash for now. Let’s study it together after I fuse with the stone body,” the stone spirit said.

"Life energy?"

Chen Yang frowned.

Shi Ling said, "This kind of energy is not as easily perceived as other energies. Every living being exists because of the control of this energy. You humans are used to calling it lifespan..."

Chen Yang's face twitched. Sure enough, this jar could absorb lifespan.

The unwarranted growth of the primordial spirit is all obtained by exchanging lifespan.

This price seems a bit too high.

The key is that you can't even feel this energy draining away, and your lifespan is being taken away without you even realizing it.

If you get a little benefit and your spirit grows stronger, an ordinary person might actually take it as a treasure and become addicted. By the time they realize it, it might be too late.

This thing is really evil.

At this moment, Chen Yang had already defined it as an evil object in his mind.

"How much of my lifespan did it drain away?" Chen Yang asked.

“Although I can sense the presence of life energy, this feeling is very subtle and I can’t measure exactly how much there is. However, judging from your condition, you are in good spirits, so it shouldn’t be too much. You are still young, so there’s no need to worry too much,” Shi Ling reassured him.

Chen Yang didn't care much, after all, he brought the jar back to prove its evil nature.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "Sangmu juice can replenish lifespan. You've consumed so much sangmu juice; it should be enough for it to drink its fill."

Upon hearing this, a black line appeared on Chen Yang's forehead.

Whether sam juice can replenish lifespan is just a legend. He had eaten a lot of it, including the Three Corpse Divine Tree, but they had no way of knowing whether it actually replenished his lifespan.

Lifespan is something that cannot be seen or touched. Even the Three Corpse Divine Tree can only roughly estimate one's lifespan based on one's own physical condition.

"Never mind what's inside. It's definitely related to the divine being I met back then. Maybe it's some kind of evil thing that divine being sealed away. Don't let it get exposed to the moonlight anymore. We'll study it after I merge with my Dharma body."

"it is good!"

Chen Yang didn't say much, picked up the jar again, and put it in the wardrobe.

……

-

The physical fatigue didn't subside until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Chen Yang found a construction team, transported some stone materials, and repaired the collapsed retaining wall in the backyard.

The construction team was the same one that built Huang Can's house. They worked very efficiently, and the materials had been arranged well in advance.

Stone, steel bars, sand, and cement were delivered in the morning, and work began immediately in the afternoon.

The project wasn't large; a dozen or so men could easily complete it in an afternoon.

The sun hadn't set yet, but the retaining wall had already been painted. The weather forecast said the next few days would be sunny, and it would be finished once the cement dried.

Chen Yang had originally intended to invite the construction team to have a simple meal in town, but they politely declined. It was still early, and they were all thinking about going home as soon as possible. Chen Yang paid them their wages, and the construction team left.

The sun had set behind the western mountains; it was only a little past six o'clock, and there was still some time before it got dark.

Chen Yang ate a simple dinner, watched TV for a while in the main room, and then took out the Frost Condensation Sword that Wang Yuanchao had given him.

He'd had this sword back for several days now, and he'd tried to communicate with its core, but the Frost Condensation Sword's core seemed aloof and barely paid him any attention.

The other party refused to communicate, and he couldn't even find the door to comprehend the sword's intent.

As true essence was poured in, sword energy burst forth, and a frosty aura instantly bloomed, even more effective than air conditioning, causing the room temperature to drop rapidly.

A layer of white frost was faintly condensing on the sword's blade, truly living up to its name, Frost Condensation.

It is powerful. Although it is just a fine iron sword, the sword spirit gives it a higher value and greater killing power.

The sword's core is of a high grade.

Chen Yang wasn't the only one who thought this way; even the Five Thunder Master felt the same way.

An ordinary sword heart wouldn't be as aloof and refuse to communicate with anyone other than its master as this Frostbite Sword.

This proves that this sword heart has already developed its own consciousness, rather than simply generating spiritual awareness.

To comprehend the sword intent, one must communicate with the sword heart. However, Chen Yang tried everything to persuade it, even threatening to throw it into the latrine, but the sword heart refused to communicate and ignored him completely.

This left Chen Yang completely helpless.

Wang Yuanchao has had this sword for quite some time, but he has not been able to comprehend its sword intent. He probably has no way to grasp the essence of this sword.

During his trip to Mount Si'e, Chen Yang obtained a "Lychee of the Immortals," which, according to the system, can help him comprehend sword intent.

He had originally planned to use this lychee to comprehend the sword intent of the Frost Condensation Sword, but now things were a bit awkward. He also had a Sword Offering Stone; should he take it out and try to bribe it?

The Sword Offering Stone is a reward given by the system when you kill the Lychee Bamboo Crab; it is said to help you cultivate your sword heart.

Perhaps it could be somewhat tempting to the heart of the Frost Condensing Sword.

But wouldn't that be a bit of a loss?

The Sword Offering Stone not only enhances the strength of the sword's core, but its most important ability is to help a sword without a core to develop one.

The higher the grade of the sword, the higher the probability of it giving birth to a sword heart.

Logically speaking, this sacrificial stone should be given to Chixiao. However, the Chixiao sword does not belong to him. This sword was forcibly borrowed from the Yang family of Longtai Mountain by his uncle, and there is no guarantee that it will be returned at some time.

Although he finds it convenient, he can't very well refuse someone who asks for it.

Therefore, Chen Yang originally intended to save it for "Zhenshan Sword".

Wouldn't it be a waste to use it on a fine iron sword now?
"Chen Yang!"

Just as I was hesitating, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

Just as Chen Yang put away the Frost Condensation Sword, Huang Can ran in from outside.

He was wearing a white T-shirt, which was a little dirty, and he looked anxious and flustered, as if something serious had happened.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Did you win the lottery?" Chen Yang asked calmly.

Huang Can, disgusted by the hem of his T-shirt, wiped the sweat from his face. "I won the lottery! I won the grand prize! Come with me right now, damn it, my new house..."

……

-

Yangliu Bay.

Huang Can's new house is basically finished; all that's left is the interior decoration, which will require finding someone else.

It took more than two months, with various things delaying things along the way, but the new house arrived late.

Huang Can's dream love room is a three-story villa.

The house is located next to the main road of the village, only a little over 100 meters away from Chen Guoqiang's house. It is backed by mountains and faces the pond of Yangliu Bay. With both mountains and water, it can be said to have excellent feng shui.

On the way, Huang Can explained the situation to Chen Yang.

After the construction team left in the afternoon, he came to see the new house and prepared to water the brick walls. When he arrived, he found dead sparrows everywhere, inside and outside the house.

The scene terrified it.

Some villagers who happened to be passing by on their way back from picking tea were also shocked.

Some even went so far as to say that Huang Can's family had chosen a problematic site for their homestead.

This place was just repaired, not even decorated, and no one has moved in yet, and so many sparrows have died here. This is a warning to Huang Can; he must have encountered some evil spirit. If people move in, who knows what will happen?

Huang Can was genuinely frightened. He had originally intended to find Huang Daolin, but Huang Daolin had gone to Emei and could not be contacted at all, so he quickly came to find Chen Yang.

Upon hearing the words "Sparrow," Chen Yang became unsettled and quickened his pace.

The sight of sparrows, and in large numbers at that, reminded him of the flock of sparrows from out of town that had died in Old Ghost Forest.

A few days ago, Chen Yang had already given the association some sparrow samples, and Wang Yuanchao had given him the test report when Chen Yang returned from Emei.

As he had expected, the ingredients of "Qi Ling San" were detected in the bodies of all the sparrows.

Could it be that the surviving sparrows ran into Huang Can's house?
This guy, what kind of monster-attracting physique does he have?
It's comparable to myself.

At this moment, Chen Yang understood a little better how Wang Yuanchao felt every time he sought him out.

The two of them, one in front of the other, soon arrived at Willow Bay.

In front of the new house, some busybodies gathered together to comment and criticize.

Even from a great distance, Chen Yang could hear them talking.

They're mostly saying that Huang Can's house has feng shui problems.

"Huang Can, you'd better find a geomancer to take a look. Your house is probably cursed..."

"I told you to hurry up and find a wife, and stop catching sparrows. Now look what's happened, the sparrows are coming after you."

Some were there simply to watch the spectacle, while others were there to see the joke unfold.

There were well-intentioned reminders as well as malicious ridicule.

Some people are like that; they despise you for being poor and fear you for being rich.

In their minds, Huang Can was an uneducated and lazy man who suddenly built a small villa. How could they feel at peace with that?

Some jealous people felt secretly pleased when they saw Huang Can's new house had problems, and even made no attempt to hide their schadenfreude.

"Send everyone away."

Chen Yang ignored these people completely, left a sentence, and went straight into the courtyard.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, what's there to see?"

Huang Can was rude and didn't care whether they were older or not; he just kicked them out.

He was feeling frustrated and had a lot of resentment to vent, but he didn't know where to put it.

"Hey kid, we were just trying to help you out, how come you don't appreciate our kindness?"

"Fuck you, get lost!"

Huang Can cursed angrily. He was strong and pushed and shoved several times, but no one could withstand him and they were quickly driven away.

……

The construction team has left the site, which is still somewhat messy, with a lot of debris piled up. In the yard, sparrow corpses can be seen everywhere among the debris.

Some bodies were intact, while others were mangled beyond recognition, as if they had survived a major battle, with blood splattered everywhere.

The whole place was like a battlefield.

It's really unlucky and eerie that something like this happened on the very first day the construction team left the site.

At first, Huang Can even suspected that someone was deliberately messing with him, but after calming down and thinking about it, it seemed that this was not something an ordinary person could do.

Moreover, he couldn't recall offending anyone.

The setting sun hung in the sky, and sunlight shone into the courtyard; everything looked shocking.

"How is it? Is there a problem with the feng shui?"

Huang Can came up behind Chen Yang, his face serious. "They said it's some kind of reverse bow evil spirit..."

"Egg Bow Sha".

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yang spat out, "This land was chosen for you by your great-uncle. How could your great-uncle possibly harm you?"

Huang Can thought about it and agreed.

Chen Yang explained the concept of the "reverse bow" affliction to him.

He didn't know much, but he did have some understanding of the "Reverse Bow Sha" (a type of feng shui term).

The "reverse bow evil" refers to an evil formation caused by a river, building, or other structure curving in front of a door.

Yangliu Bay is a bend in the road, which does indeed resemble a reverse bow.

However, there are quite a few houses built here, all of them built right next to the roadside, including Chen Guoqiang's house. But have you ever seen any of them have any problems?
The shape of the reverse bow evil is like a bow, which is easy to identify. But you also need an arrow. The direction the arrow points is the position directly in front of you, and that is the direction the evil is pointing.

Huang Can's house isn't located where the arrow points, so even if there's an inauspicious influence, it won't affect his family.

Moreover, there is a row of willow trees planted along the roadside in Yangliu Bay. In feng shui terms, this row of trees is meant to ward off evil spirits.

After listening, Huang Can nodded, "It's good that it wasn't a case of being struck by evil spirits."

He's now terrified of these weird things.

The more he interacted with him, the more afraid he became. He no longer says things like he's tough.

Before, I had nothing, just a worthless life, but I was bold and not afraid of death at all. Now, I have more things, and I have more things to fear.

"If it's not a calamity, then what is it?" Huang Can asked hurriedly.

Chen Yang didn't answer him, but bent down and picked up a dead sparrow to examine it.

There were no signs of poisoning. He used his mental power to examine the brains of these sparrow corpses, and like the flock of sparrows that died in the Old Ghost Forest, they seemed to have died from a collapse of their mental center.

"Haw!"

A few sparrows chirped from a room on the second floor.

Immediately, a slightly larger sparrow flew out and, without saying a word, pounced directly on Chen Yang and Huang Can.

high speed.

Huang Can was slightly stunned and didn't have time to react, but Chen Yang had already reached out and grabbed the sparrow in his hand.

The sparrow, with red eyes, struggled fiercely, trying to peck at Chen Yang with its beak.

But at this moment, it was like a monkey in the palm of Buddha's hand, unable to harm Chen Yang in the slightest.

Chen Yang frowned slightly, took out a needle, and poked the sparrow's head.

The sparrow quickly calmed down, tilted its head to the side, and fainted.

Then, Chen Yang went inside.

They searched room by room.

Sparrow corpses can be seen everywhere.

It's hard to imagine what a bloody battle took place here.

Some sparrows are still alive, but they are either crippled or dying.

Chen Yang saved everyone he could.

There are more than a dozen in total, but only one of them has developed sentience.

To figure out what happened, we can only start by looking at this intelligent sparrow.
