Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 13 Gift of Peach Wood Struck by Lightning

Ah Qing walked up to Li Xuan, extended his withered hand, and gripped Li Xuan's hand tightly with his index and middle fingers, as if trying to sense something from Li Xuan's hand...

I pressed it for ages.

Ah Qing Gong's expression was slightly awkward. He hadn't sensed anything, so he simply asked directly, "Young man, which deity do you worship, and what mountain and sect do you practice in?"

Li Xuan could roughly guess what A Qing Gong was doing.

It would be strange if someone could sense something before even starting their cultivation.

He said, “I recently visited the Beiyin Temple, where the main deity is the Beiyin Fengdu Emperor. I can barely be considered a member of the Fengdu lineage. I am currently practicing the Tianpeng Mantra, but I am not yet registered and have no rank or grade.”

Upon hearing the name of the Great Emperor of the Northern Yin.

Aqing Gong subconsciously released Li Xuan's hand, and exclaimed in shock, "You, a member of the Beiyin Fengdu lineage..."

The only sect that worships the Fengdu Emperor as its manifest principal deity is the Fengyue Sect. Their sect has strict rules, so it is very difficult for ordinary people to see high-ranking practitioners of the Fengyue Sect in society.

When Ah Qing was young, he met a few people who knew that after joining the Fengdu lineage, once they reached the third rank and sixth grade, they had to abide by the "Black Laws," which were laws specifically established for Fengdu judges.

Although those below the third rank and sixth grade are not required to abide by the Black Law, they must not commit evil deeds, and they must never back down when encountering evil spirits causing trouble!
I see……

No wonder they followed.

Although the Fengdu lineage cannot be considered a high-level cultivation law, it still has the support of the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei. If one has a fortuitous encounter and talent, their future achievements will not be low.

Although Aqing Gong and Li Xuan belong to different sects, it does not affect my appreciation for him.

With Chen Letong's situation pressing, Aqing Gong had to deal with it first. He and his wife held a ritual at Zhoucang Palace. After two and a half hours of ceremony and incantations, the tormented Chen Letong gradually calmed down.

Li Ruonan looked at her daughter lying on the incense table with a complicated expression, and reached out to pick her up.

The old woman grabbed her wrist and said, "The ritual is over. From now on, your child will be under the full care of this young man next to you until the end of the seventh day at this time."

Li Ruonan was a little anxious: "But he's just my neighbor, and we've only known each other for a few days."

The old woman said coldly, "I've already told you, our lives are tied to the ritual. Performing the ritual for your child is like betting your life on it! Now that the ritual is over, do you want to back out?"

Li Ruonan wanted to say something more.

Xie Qiming pulled her aside: "Don't worry, I'll take care of Duoduo with him until the time is up."

As darkness fell and everyone prepared to leave, Uncle Qing reached out and pulled Li Xuan aside, handing him a maroon wooden stick.

Li Xuan was puzzled.

Master Aqing solemnly said, “I’m an old man and I speak frankly. Your worship of the Fengdu lineage must have been a fluke, or perhaps you did it to save your life. This path is most taboo without a master. You started by practicing the Tianpeng Mantra but didn’t have the corresponding ritual implements. If you encounter evil spirits and the incantation fails, your blood and energy will drain away, and you will surely die!”

He pointed to the stick and said, “There is a sentence in the Daoist book Yuan Shen Qi that says, ‘In ancient times, peach branches were used to ward off misfortune. Hou Yi died from a peach stick, so later generations used it to exorcise ghosts.’”

The item I'm giving you is made of old, lightning-struck peach wood. It's tough and has been well-maintained over the years. Even if it's not made into a magical artifact, if you encounter a ghost, a single blow from it will cause pain for half a day.

I remember that the "Tianpeng Mantra" combined with the Tianpeng Ruler can be used to exorcise evil spirits, seal ghosts, and bring blessings; its uses are endless!
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth of the tenth month. At nine o'clock in the morning, set up an altar facing north, erect the tablets of the Great Emperor of the Northern Underworld and Marshal Tianpeng, bathe and change clothes, offer incense and candles to the gods, and then craft this piece of peach wood struck by lightning into a Tianpeng ruler for unforeseen circumstances.

Li Xuan had seen the Tianpeng Ruler in the appendix of the "Tianpeng Mantra" under the category of ritual implements and knew how to make it, but he didn't have the original material. Now, the old master had given him some lightning-struck peach wood material, which was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

He performed a slightly awkward Taoist ritual to Master Qing and said, "The source of this evil spirit is the Great Black Buddha Mother. I cannot reveal my real name, please forgive me, Master. My surname is Li." Master Qing laughed twice and said, "I am overjoyed to see that there are still young people willing to enter this industry and face ghosts directly. You can go now. Call me if you need anything. There are business cards in my bag."

Li Xuan hurriedly descended the mountain.

He couldn't let Chen Letong out of his sight for too long.

After all, it's perfectly normal for Li Ruonan to agree one second and act foolish the next.

In front of Zhoucang Temple, Aqing Gong watched Li Xuan's departing figure, stroked the stubble on his chin, and couldn't help but recall the Fengyue Sect disciples he had met in his youth, feeling deeply moved.

The old woman walked over and draped a coat over him, her eyes filled with worry as she said, "When Li Ruonan came to us six years ago, that video recorder had already killed several people... This time, her daughter's possession has deepened, and she may have come into contact with the video recorder!"

She sighed heavily and said, "After this ritual was completed, I regretted it a little. I'm afraid this woman will harm our lives."

After a moment of silence, Aqing said, "I know, but the child is innocent. We can't abandon her just because her mother is ignorant."

Spiritual practice itself is accompanied by various tribulations, and the human heart is a tribulation within a tribulation.

Grandma He gently rested her head on Grandpa Qing's shoulder, snuggling close. The elderly couple turned and slowly returned to Zhou Cang Palace, which was still dark, their figures gradually disappearing into the darkness...

On the way back.

Xie Qiming was driving a minivan.

Chen Letong has woken up. She's quite well-behaved; she knows Li Xuan isn't a bad person, and even gave him a sweet smile.

Xie Qiming said gently, "Duoduo, Dad knows you've been harassed by the scoundrel. We've asked a sorcerer to protect you. If you just stay awake and don't eat or drink for seven days, you'll never be scared by the scoundrel again. But the process will be tough, so you have to persevere."

Chen Letong nodded. She had been seeing strange black shadows moving around recently, and her nerves were constantly on edge. Despite her young age, her eyes were dark and sunken. Naturally, she was very willing to get rid of the shadows.

Xie Qiming added, "Uncle Li Chegan will help you, and Dad will live with you and keep an eye on things, so you won't be bored."

Chen Letong asked, "What about Mom?"

Xie Qiming glanced at Li Ruonan and said, "For the sake of the ritual, your mother needs to stay away from you for seven days. After that, there won't be any problems..."

Chen Letong was reluctant to part with Li Ruonan, but she also didn't want the shadowy figure to frighten her biological mother, so she nodded understandingly.

The car arrived at its destination.

Xie Qiming carried Chen Letong down, and Li Ruonan was about to take over when Li Xuan blocked her with his body.

Li Xuan pointed to the third floor of a building in front of him: "That's where I live. Mr. Xie, please take Duoduo there to choose a room."

Li Ruonan wanted to go with her.

Li Xuan stopped them, waiting until Xie Qiming and Chen Letong had gone far away.

It was late at night, and no one was around. Li Xuan grabbed Li Ruonan by the neck and roughly slammed her against the courtyard wall, making a dull thud on the back of her head.

He raised his leg and delivered a knee strike to her abdomen!
Li Ruonan felt like her stomach was about to churn, and she couldn't stop gagging, tears and snot streaming down her face: "What are you doing!"

Li Xuan said coldly, "At Zhoucang Palace, the priest clearly told you that this ritual was related to their lives, and the child could not eat anything. Yet you still insisted on questioning this and that. Your words and actions show that you still have ulterior motives! I'm telling you now, if the ritual goes wrong and Aqing and his wife are in danger of losing their lives, we'll use you as a sacrifice first!"
