Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 241 Red Hare is hard to come by, but Flying Fish accompany it.

【Gold-Swallowing Beast Mask (Five Witches Dividing Spirits): Taking money by deception and obtaining it through wicked means is the most common use of the Five Witches' evil magic.

Characteristics: It steals a person's vital energy, transforming it into armor that accompanies them day and night, and is stronger than even the heaviest armor.

Chu Tianshu was quite curious about this person's methods and planned to keep him for questioning, so he controlled the force of his kick.

Unexpectedly, when the "gold-devouring beast mask" was shattered, the old Taoist priest's clothes were torn open, revealing a corner of the book in his arms.

"what?"

Chu Tianshu's palm was filled with internal energy as he took out a book and looked at it.

This is a blue-covered, thread-bound book. There is no name on the cover, and all the words inside are written vertically.

White paper, black text, separated by red vertical lines.

"You actually carry such a thick manual with you?"

After flipping through a few pages, Chu Tianshu clicked his tongue in amazement.

Back then, the Demonic Sect Leader's sword manual was mainly engraved on the sect's token using micro-carving techniques, and it was distributed among the celestial maiden patterns. It was fine to carry it with him.

This old, blond-haired Taoist priest truly carried with him a secret manual written in black and white.

Its paper contains yin energy, which means that it must first be made from some kind of yin and evil wood, then go through the papermaking process, and finally be collected into books. It is much tougher than ordinary paper.

However, the content on it uses the most common font, which should be easy for anyone with a basic literacy to understand, and there are hardly any coded messages.

"Water-based Image Spell," using a talisman hidden in a certain place, can create a scene of that place floating in a basin of water. Reaching into the basin, it's as if an invisible hand descends upon the target's location, exerting force out of thin air, leaving no way to escape or defend against it...

"Shadow-Driven Horror" is a spell practiced by taking a candle and a white cloth, placing them on either side, and using hand shadows to simulate a hundred beasts. The black shadows are projected onto the white cloth. When used, the white cloth is unfolded, instantly giving those around the user the illusion of a hundred black beasts galloping...

"Seven-Day Face Swap": Human skin can be layered. Take the outer layer of skin from one person's buttocks and place it on another person's face, moisten it with talismanic water, peel off the skin, and return it to its original owner. This can swap the faces of two people, making them similar in height, build, and behavior to each other. The effect lasts for seven days...

There are also various other methods, such as the infant crying behind the ear, the ghost hand in the bowl, the black bean breath-holding method, and the chicken blood and lime antidote pills. There are countless other methods.

The book records many techniques and methods, which have a wide range of applications.

The magical manuals that Chu Tianshu had learned in the past were all of a more focused type, only requiring in-depth study in their respective fields.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a comprehensive manual of magical techniques.

Although most of these are evil practices, it's okay to take a look.

There are also some lesser-known techniques that are neither entirely good nor entirely evil. When you have some free time, you might as well think about them and see if you can use them someday.

As he flipped through the book, he felt a strange, menacing aura surrounding him. Alarmed, he turned his head to look.

The statue of Guan Yu is tall and imposing, and it has stood firmly in place.

But the statue's eyes still seemed to retain their brilliance, with an inner light that resembled a shadow on ice, and the bloodstain on its chest added to its murderous aura.

Just as Chu Tianshu turned his head to look...

It felt as if the statue was about to step down from its pedestal.

The floating demons in the air resembled tattered banners or fragments of hundreds of blades.

Under the gaze of the statue, these malevolent forces seemed to always want to gravitate towards Chu Tianshu, yet they could never quite manage to do so.

Chu Tianshu reached out and grasped, feeling a faint aura of malevolence flow from between his fingers.

These powerful auras have automatically thinned out and cannot be retained, leaving behind a sense of regret.

"Strange, this power wants to flow into me, but there's another inertia preventing it from merging with me and fully manifesting?"

After pondering for a moment, Chu Tianshu sensed the meaning behind these auras of power and some guesses flashed through his mind.

He is not a local.

In this world, all traces of his existence add up to only a few months.

But he is already an adult with exceptional abilities, which is highly illogical.

I'm afraid that even if someone has some original knowledge and wants to get close to him, they will not be able to get along because there are too few traces of him in the dragon vein.

Originally, Chu Tianshu did not have a strong need for the Dragon Vein Original Text.

But as he watched a force approach him, it then vanished, leaving him with a sense of regret.

However, after the aura dissipated, he sensed another aura floating around him.

Chu Tianshu stared intently at him.

In his field of vision, there were five or six streams of air, some blue and some green, but all extremely pale in color, thin as ribbons, swirling around him. At first glance, each stream of air appeared very gentle, hovering only a few feet around him.

Upon closer inspection, each airflow reveals a myriad of shapes and forms, such as surging, sinking, swirling, and blooming.

Although small, the sparrow has all the vital organs and is constantly changing.

"What is this?"

Chu Tianshu tried to grab a handful.

With his skill, he could strike silently, and even a speck of dust would not disturb him.

However, as soon as he reached out, the air currents, like beautiful flying fish two or three feet long, naturally changed their posture and dodged out of his grasp.

Chu Tianshu narrowed his eyes slightly, his right shoulder swayed slightly, and when the movement was reflected in his forearm and palm, he grabbed three times in an instant.

He finally caught a gust of air.

Aside from the cool sensation, he couldn't immediately sense any properties of the airflow.

Even when I channeled some of my internal energy to entangle with it, I felt that my internal energy was empty and seemed to have no effect on the external object.

It's something that can't be driven away or taken away; it's neither good nor bad.

Chu Tianshu seemed to be deep in thought, so he decided to ignore it for the time being.

He had previously sensed that there was another evil spirit inside the blond old Taoist priest, so he decided to extract it first and deal with it later.

Three silver needles flew down at once, landing firmly on Yuan Ligong's brow, chest, and philtrum.

Yuan Ligong was on the verge of death, his eyes closed, but the moment the third needle pierced his philtrum, his old eyes suddenly opened.

The old man with blond hair had all his features become full and strained, but he still couldn't open his mouth.

Judging from the way he looked, if he hadn't broken so many ribs, Yuan Ligong would probably have jumped up.

That breath stuck in the old Taoist's face for a good ten seconds.

When he finally couldn't hold on any longer, a stream of golden dust rose from the top of his head.

He seemed to deflate, his face turned ashen, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

Chu Tianshu grasped at the air with his five fingers, controlling the mass of golden powder and pressing it down to reveal its true form: a small golden seal.

Although this thing is a spirit, it doesn't feel malevolent at all. It doesn't seem like an evil spirit; it's more like some kind of magical artifact.

After a moment's thought, Chu Tianshu first inserted it into the hilt of the Three-Seven Divine Sword and stored it away.

"gentlemen!!"

A shout came from outside the temple, and two tall, thin figures rushed in; they were two old men from Chenjiagou.

Chu Tianshu turned to look at them: "Why are you here?"

"It was Huo Ming who sent us to see if there was anything we could do to help."

The two old men stopped, exhaling long puffs of white breath. They looked at the gunmen outside the hall, who were intimidated by the oppressive aura, and each pulled out a handful of silver needles, which they then shot out.

Upon hearing the gunmen fall to the ground, Chu Tianshu withdrew his oppressive aura.

He maintained his imposing aura without suffering any loss. After finishing the fight in the main hall, he dealt with some matters and then ignored the gunmen and horses.

"It's good that you've come. Control those horses and carry all these people back to the city. Take the corpses with you too; they're too dirty to leave them here."

Chu Tianshu handed over the miscellaneous tasks of moving other people to the two old men, and then picked up the old Taoist priest with yellow hair, placed him on a horse, and led the horse out of the temple.

Pass through the ceremonial gate, then proceed to the main gate.

Just as he was about to step out of the main gate, Chu Tianshu slowed his pace a little and looked back.

The two old men didn't rush to move the people. Instead, they first paid their respects to Guan Yu. One of the old men went over and wiped the blood off the chest of the Guan Yu statue.

The statue has been restored to its original appearance; it looks majestic, but it is actually devoid of spirit.

Even if the ancients left behind their might, evil people must ultimately be eliminated by the living people of today.

Chu Tianshu led his horse out of the main gate and observed carefully.

Those pure and ethereal auras still lingered around him, repeatedly trying to get closer, but it seemed that their strength was not yet fully available, and they could not get close for the time being.
