Chapter 181 Retreat!

In the Sea of the Dead...

"Be careful." Zhou Chaoen said to his two younger brothers.

They are from the Zhou family in Cangzhou. They are good at Feng Shui and their practice is the "geomancy master". They are good at studying Yin and Yang and can understand Feng Shui. The Zhou family is in charge of the geomancy maps of Cangzhou's mountains and rivers and geological surveys.

Among them, the Zhou family has been immersed in matters related to graves for many years, and they also want to use this advantage to solve the disaster of death by themselves.

But now they are in some trouble.

But I saw that the sky and the earth were dark all around, and there was an object hidden in the darkness. I couldn't see its shape, but I could hear its sound.

This sound was mournful and sorrowful, sometimes high, sometimes low, and uneven, and then it made a creaking sound, like the sound of the wheels turning on a hundred-liang Jiangzhou chariot.

"Ghost car...it's a ghost car bird." Zhou Chaoen carefully hid in the formation he set up, avoiding the sight of the surrounding ghosts.

The ghost car bird, commonly known as the nine-headed bird, has nine heads. According to legend, this bird once had ten heads. It could collect human souls. One head was bitten by a dog and often dripped blood. Wherever the blood dripped, there would be misfortune.

There is a poem that says: "It carries hundreds of ghosts flying in the sky at night. Although its voice is small, its body is very large, and its wings are like nine wheels with nine heads. Ordinary birds have one mouth, and their calls are chirping. This bird has nine heads and nine mouths, and its mouths have a tongue connected to a throat."

This bird appears when the sky is cloudy. Sometimes it is silent, sometimes it makes sounds, and its sounds are like the sound of a rickshaw. When it is a little cloudy, it will fly by and sing. It likes to enter people's homes and melt their souls. Countless ghosts will linger on its body. It will migrate with other ghosts, so it is called the "ghost car bird."

"Brother, they are coming, right over there." The younger brother of the Zhou family lowered his voice and said to Zhou Chaoen, "There should be no problem with our formation. We can hide it. The Ghost Car Bird didn't find us."

Zhou Chaoen nodded and said nothing. He just continued to hold his breath and concentrate to maintain the formation.

As long as the formation is still there, they will not be discovered by these evil spirits.

But if it is broken, I'm afraid I will be besieged by thousands of ghosts.

The shape of the ghost car bird began to appear in the dark sky.

The ghost carriage rumbles along, with ghosts and skeletons following along.

The first things to appear were the nine strange heads, each as big as a house, and its entire body looked like a small mountain, with many screaming ghosts clinging to it.

There were red eyes flashing in his head, constantly scanning the surroundings.

The ghost-carriage bird was flying in the sky, presenting a strange appearance. There were moles, moths, ghosts and goblins, and countless ghosts clinging to its body. Its posture was extremely wanton, greedy and cruel, as ferocious as tigers and wolves. The ugliest of the five was particularly fierce, with the strange shape of snakes, sharp teeth and gnawing, and extremely poisonous.

Not only were there the cries of the Nine-headed Ghost Carriage Bird, but also the shouts of ghosts and monsters. Thousands of sounds, making people's teeth ache, kept echoing in this land covered by yin energy.

The underworld is dark and gloomy, ghosts are howling, thousands of demons are roaming at night, and evil spirits are gathering in the wild.

The three Zhou brothers held their breath and dared not make the slightest movement, for fear of revealing a flaw and being discovered by the Ghost Car Bird.

This ghost car bird, judging from the situation, should be in the fifth realm... and it has thousands of ghosts and goblins behind it. For the Zhou family, it is a target that cannot be provoked.

But just when they were trying to keep down their movements, hoping not to be discovered... a burst of smoke suddenly appeared in the distant sky!
Qi and blood rushed up ten feet, and with the sound of drums beating, it was obvious that a warrior with high cultivation level was rushing towards this side!
"Fuck it!" Zhou Chaoen cursed angrily!
Such a big fuss, are you looking for death?!

It doesn't matter if he wants to die, but can he please not implicate himself? This fluctuating blood and energy will disrupt his feng shui formation and make his concealment problematic!

He immediately observed the level of the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke!
The distance that the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke can rush up is limited according to the level of cultivation and the strength of the physical body.

Ten feet, which means he is probably a warrior of the fourth realm, and he is not just practicing the physical body, he should have also practiced the acupoints of Qi or Shen.

The fourth realm warriors...are they the ones from the Wang family?
But I heard that they were forming an alliance outside and didn't come in.

Have you changed your mind?
Zhou Chaoen stretched out his hand, steadying the bronze mirror in front of him with one hand, and making hand gestures with the other.

The formation of this place was the one he had visited before using Feng Shui. Yin and Yang were in harmony, five earths and four preparations were in place, three Geng and Xin were revealed in the Heavenly Stems, two of the Earthly Branches were in prosperous positions, the Seven Killings were all in support, and the Day Master was strong, which could help the King to do evil. Therefore, he could blend in among the ghosts without being noticed.

But the energy of heaven and earth around him was disturbed, so he had to change the formation, otherwise his blood would rush out and a situation of 'one general guarding the pass' would be created, after which many evildoers would emerge and disaster would be imminent!
However... just as he was thinking about how to change the formation, the ghost car bird in the sky had already discovered the fool.

But the ghost car bird suddenly spread its wings and made a sharp sound like scraping ceramic!

All the ghosts on its body suddenly rose into the air, turned into cold wind, and rushed towards the place where the blood and qi smoke was.

"Brother, what should we do?" The two younger brothers looked at Zhou Chaoen.

Zhou Chaoen immediately stopped his attack: "Run! He has sucked all our attention away. Let's run as far as we can!"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them had already rushed out!

Since the other party had led the ghost car bird away, of course they would escape.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Chaoen looked back, wanting to know who was so brave.

Things related to ghosts and monsters are considered inferior because there are too many things that can restrain them. Even ordinary people can easily suppress ghosts and monsters in a certain realm with a basin of black dog blood or boy's urine.

If there are many people, gathering together and waving torches, many ghosts will not dare to approach.

The righteous spirit of scholars, the masculine energy of warriors, the Taoists, monks, and shamans, are all just a bunch of wonderful little tools. Ghosts and monsters can generally only be used as raw materials. Everything can restrain them.

But in the plague of death, or Hades, this situation will be reversed.

In fact, everyone restrains each other, but they usually live in the world of the living, so the yang energy is strong, which makes it seem that the yin ghosts are restrained.

However, disasters caused by death or the underworld, where the yin energy is too strong, will instead restrain these things. At that time, the living will be easily eaten by ghosts and monsters, and their flesh and blood will be dissolved.

This is how the yin and yang work when they restrain each other; it just depends on who is stronger.

And in the midst of the disaster of death, he still dared to charge forward so carelessly with the smoke of blood and energy. This person probably doesn't know that ghosts can also restrain yang energy!
If you don’t do your homework, you deserve to be eliminated!

He looked at the man with a gloating look—

Breaking open the sea of ghosts.

what?
ah--! ?

Zhou Chaoen rubbed his eyes, then took out a small bottle and put two drops of medicine in his eyes.

This is Fang Zhushui. As a Feng Shui master, he has to observe the terrain all the time, so he always carries it with him.

Fangzhu is the name of a large clam. On a moonlit night, people catch Fangzhu and take the water stored in their shells. The water is clear and pure, which is called Fangzhu water. It can be used to wash the eyes and clear fog and brighten the eyes.

Cangzhou is a water town, and these kinds of water beasts and water monsters are local specialties.

After the potion was dropped, he blinked and then stared over there.

Then, he saw more clearly that the sea composed of countless ghosts was cut in half as easily as a hot knife cutting lard.

The waves are breaking, the momentum is like a unstoppable force, like light breaking through the clouds, it is completely unstoppable!

Above the sky, there was the rumbling of dragon thunder, and the flash of lightning appeared suddenly, like the rising sun at dawn. The dragon thunder was entangled with the blood and energy, and coupled with the masculine aura of the warrior, the surrounding ghosts were terrified, their souls flew away, and they fled in succession, like the receding tide, like fallen leaves in the wind!
If one fails to dodge in time, they will either turn into green smoke or become charcoal, and will be dispersed by the warrior's soaring yang energy!
As for those who could dodge, some flew back the same way or hid underground. In short, all tried their best to avoid it. Some who were hit but not dead let out the howls of evil ghosts and the cries of resentful spirits, and the sound shook the underworld and frightened those who heard it. Black fog filled the air and yin energy overflowed, but wherever the lightning and blood went, all the evil spirits disappeared!

In a moment, all the ghosts in front of the warrior disappeared, the sky and the earth became clear, with only the residual wind blowing across the ground, as if telling of the ghosts' previous fear.

Zhou Chaoen was stunned. Who... who is this person?
Then, he saw an acquaintance who was exhausted to death on the warrior's shoulder.

Simon Gong! ?

No, Ximen Gong has basically no fighting ability, and his expertise in magic can't bring out his advantage in this situation. This man is carrying him, is it because they have formed an alliance?

There seems to be someone behind him... Look.

The water is vast!
Zhou Chaoen was shocked!

Shui Cangcang is actually here. It seems that he has formed an alliance with Ximen Gong? Shui Cangcang is actually a person who can form an alliance? He doesn't even have his own brothers. He has always been a loner.

The sun really rises from the west!

Shui Cangcang is an extremely arrogant person, how could he team up with others?
Who is qualified to team up with him? Ximen Gong? Impossible!

So……

His mind raced and he began to analyze quickly.

An unknown warrior made Shui Cangcang follow him naturally...

This warrior must be of great importance and not an ordinary person.

But he was not a scion of a noble family in Cangzhou, because the scion of noble families in Cangzhou were very familiar with each other and it was impossible for them not to recognize each other.

So, those who are qualified...

Good advice.

That person has a brilliant idea!

A warrior with ability, who has connections with Shui Cangcang, it can't be anyone else!
Gao Jian... actually has this ability.

Zhou Chaoen watched the other party cross the Dead Sea. The ghost car bird even flew away screaming, with no intention of pouncing on the other party to fight to the death.

So Zhou Chaoen also stopped and chose to use Feng Shui to tell his fortune.

Look around.

The pattern of this place is...Guichou, Wuwu, Bingwu, Renchen.

Fire and earth, the moon brings a wounded official, and the brothers are endless.

Your mother is unlucky.

"Big brother?" The two younger brothers looked at their elder brother in confusion.

"Quit it, let's not compete anymore." Zhou Chaoen shook his head.

"Ah? There is no chance of winning?" The two younger brothers were stunned and looked at the divination process.

"There's absolutely no chance of winning. Do you think that thing looks like a human? With two Shui Cang Cangs, there's no chance of winning. Things might start to change here later. Let's retreat and make plans later." Zhou Chaoen made a decisive decision.

It would be fatal to stay here for the so-called face. A Feng Shui master should take advantage of the situation and be good at judging the circumstances.

Obviously, the current situation is that it is time to run.

Brother Zhou Chaoen left quickly.

Gao Jian was completely unaware of this because it didn't matter to him at all.

At this moment, Gao Jian was manipulating the dragon thunder of the Jiaozhu to protect his body, mixed with blood and wolf smoke, and rushed directly towards the core of the disaster in his full strength.

Thunder has the ability to ward off ghosts, and so does masculine energy and blood. When the two are combined, the sea of ghosts is warded off, and the evil ghosts split into two groups and flee, just like gods splitting the sea.

As for the others, such as the Ghost Kings who tried to rush in, Shui Cangcang was responsible for dealing with them.

One person was responsible for dealing with the ghost sea, and the other was responsible for dealing with the elites, and they rushed towards the depths of the disaster so easily.

For example, now, the ghost car bird originally wanted to rush over, but Shui Cangcang waved his hand, and the ghost car bird seemed to sense some threat, and flew away with the thousands of ghosts on its body without trying to touch the two of them.

"This is the third one. We have only been here for three hours and there are already three fifth-level ghosts. Fortunately, they are sensible and have no intention of fighting with us." Shui Cangcang said solemnly, "Further ahead, the density should be higher, but we will reach the center in about half an hour."

"Then do you want to take a break? Regain your energy." Gao Jian said.

"I'm in good condition, so there's no need. But you, you have been maintaining the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke for three hours. Even if it's not a high-intensity exercise, you must be tired, right? Do you need to take a break?" Shui Cangcang asked.

"I don't need it either. I'd rather say I'm exercising." Gao Jian smiled.

"Exercise...that's true." Shui Cangcang nodded.

At this moment, he could also see that Gao Jian was indeed 'exercising'.

Gao Jian has opened two of the three acupoints of Jingguan, Jianggong, Tanzhong and Dazhui, leaving only Dazhui. Dazhui is the 'sea of all yang', the place where the yang energy of the whole body gathers. At this moment, Gao Jian is trying hard to stimulate Dazhui and vibrate the yang energy to drive away the evil spirits.

In addition, the yin energy around is so strong that it is like weight training, which can enhance the training effect.

But the prerequisite for training to be effective is that there must be sufficient foundation for insight.

This principle is similar to 'gain weight before gaining muscle'. You have to increase your weight first, and the amount of fat must be increased first, and then you will have enough foundation to convert into muscle. Otherwise, you will be skinny and gaining muscle will only tire yourself out.

So, Shui Cangcang suddenly asked: "You haven't been practicing for long, right? Why do you have such a rich foundation? This kind of thing should be accumulated over time. I see that you have no accumulation, but your progress is so fast. It's not normal."

"Of course it's accumulated over time. As for why you asked...it's probably because I'm a genius." Gao Jian smiled.

Normally, he had never neglected his practice. In addition, he had eaten so many rare treasures to supplement his body, eaten the meat of various monsters until he vomited, and was bathed in the blood of an Eight Realm True Dragon. In fact, his accumulation was enough.

What Gao Jian needs to do now is to turn these accumulations into his own strength.

From now on, releasing one's own Yang energy to fight against the Yin energy of the disaster of death, one's progress is really rapid.

If I could train hard here for two or three months, the Dazhui point might open up directly.

Unfortunately not.

"A genius, indeed." Shui Cangcang nodded.

Just then, he suddenly looked into the distance.

Not far away, that is the blood and qi smoke!

Thirteen feet high.

It has to be better than the one who is three feet taller!
