Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 402: The picture shows the dagger
The mudras are as complex as stars surrounding a constellation, and finally, spiritual insight is applied to the chicken's head.

Master Mao was a self-taught cultivator who had learned a little bit about Taoist magic and spells. His knowledge of these skills was so vast that he was like a treasure trove of knowledge.

The ritual being performed now is a chicken-slaying ritual, not a Taoist technique, but a sorcerer's exorcism spell.

Chickens are considered auspicious animals of the East, and the East is associated with Yang, as is chickens. This place is also the East Gate of Suzhou, making it Yang on top of Yang.

The "chicken head at the east gate" is considered to be the part with the strongest yang energy.

Using the power of yang to counteract the hostility of yin and evil to find the centipede's lair is a perfect match.

In an instant, the Taoist priest's vision was filled with golden light, and as he looked around, wow!
There's just too much evil energy here!
One, two, three.
There are hardly any normal people living in the area where powerful families reside. The aura that is usually suppressed by magical artifacts has nowhere to hide under the influence of the supreme yang energy.

He suppressed his hostility towards evil and continued to observe the aura.

I see it! The southwest corner!
A dense, unmasked aura of malevolence lingered, along with venomous and poisonous energies.

The Taoist priest carried the rooster and climbed into the sedan chair, since it was inconvenient to fly over rooftops and walls in broad daylight.

They finally stopped in front of an abandoned mansion, which a few years ago was a wealthy merchant's villa, but he was forced to return to his hometown after offending a powerful figure.

The Taoist priest walked around the wall once, and then pinpointed a specific location before throwing out the butterfly.

After receiving the intelligence, Xu Xuan gave a wicked smile. "Finally, it's my turn to make my appearance!"
Snapped!
Place the scrolls on the table with unsure of what to write on them.

"The time has come, let's go!"

Xie Yu and the transferred prefectural commander immediately began preparations.

Soon, a large group of people carrying bags and weapons came out of the house.

Countless eyes are watching this team, and everyone is curious whether Mr. Xu is really that amazing.

Then they discovered that the troops had headed straight for the southwest and had surrounded an abandoned manor using military formations.

Deng You, in the prefect's mansion, sighed; he had been found after all.

We have no choice but to sacrifice you all. Once our ancestors have completed their grand plan, the whole world will be ours.

We will surely avenge ourselves and use our blood to cleanse the city of today's humiliation and suffering.

The overwhelming hatred seemed to have made it ignore the warnings in its spiritual sense.

Xu Xuan, in the southwest corner, began making arrangements at a leisurely pace.

The soldiers were instructed to begin sprinkling realgar powder, spreading it in circles to ensure no corner was missed.

Although this would use up a lot of medicine powder, no one cared, and all expenses were reimbursed by the prefect's office.

They stopped at the core area, and with a shout of "Start digging!", the exciting moment had arrived!

Before everyone's eyes, a soldier's hand suddenly went empty as his wooden shovel sank into the ground. Just as he was about to pick it up, Xu Xuan swiftly pulled him back.

That's crazy! They do all sorts of things like face-checking into bushes.

Without any explanation, a black shadow darted out and snapped the shovel in two with a snap.

"who!"

"There's something underground, retreat!"

"Be on guard! Be on guard!"

The prefect was somewhat excited; he was a martial arts expert. He had clearly seen it clearly in that brief glance—it was a giant centipede.

This victory is practically guaranteed!
Then the earth churned, and a black, multi-legged life form surged up in a flash.

"Ugh~~~~"

"What, what is that?!"

"It's not a centipede, it's not a centipede!"

"Help me!!!"

The bizarre creatures were so enormous that ordinary people could not even imagine them. They were densely intertwined, and their blackish-purple shells emitted an eerie color.

Thousands upon thousands of tiny foot blades intertwine, forming a complex and dynamic web of feet.

Sometimes it would peek out a few heads, revealing blood-red compound eyes beneath its antennae. Sometimes it would flick its tails, carving deep lines in the mud.

The rustling sound made by the friction between them was enough to make one's hands and feet feel weak just by listening to it.

This was a scene that would terrify even seasoned veterans, and the intense impact drove some new recruits insane.

They didn't care about the Twenty-Four Executions of Military Discipline at all; all they wanted was to escape, and it didn't matter where they escaped to.

In Xu Xuan's words, he stared directly at the source of the chaos, broke through his psychological defenses, and fell into madness.

Fortunately, the Father was also a professional in the use of psychology, and he spoke loudly:

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao."

No, I'm a scholar.

"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars."

Xu Xuan practiced too many things and his mind was not pure; he was not a true Confucian scholar.

Therefore, there is no righteous energy for the time being, but the bewitching power of the White Lotus Dharma Image is abundant, which is indeed more suitable for someone's path.

Ultimately, they triumphed by the allure of justice against the terror of evil.

The scattered formation was quickly restored after the White Lotus Dharma was activated, and fortunately, these centipedes have not crossed the line yet.

The power of the midday sun, combined with the natural counter of realgar powder, caused the monster to writhe in agony.

Despite the countless blood sacrifices around them, the Great Demon King had already seized control of the timing, location, and the people, and the battle ended as soon as the sun rose.

The hellish scene in the deep pit chilled the hearts of the many noble families who were watching. This monster wasn't just one, but a whole brood?! They were so frightened that cold sweat poured down their backs like rain, after all, demons don't discriminate when they bite.

Moreover, as Young Master Xu said, their favorite food is nutritious humans, making them practically a class enemy in a different sense.

They must be eliminated as soon as possible!
"Pour in the kerosene!"

Jar after jar of kerosene was poured in, and then a huge fire drove the centipedes into a frenzy.

Even a newly initiated cultivator cannot contend with a city, let alone these mindless monsters.

As long as fear is eliminated, no magical artifacts are needed; the power of fire alone is enough to defeat most monsters.

The centipedes were tumbling and struggling in the deep pit. Some even broke through the restrictions of the realgar and rushed up like madmen, only to be stabbed back down by the spears on the edge.

The scene was extremely brutal, bloody, and thrilling.

The stench of blood roused the soldiers who had lost their courage. The unknown was what was truly terrifying. When they discovered that even monsters could be burned to death, all that remained after killing them was the thrill of defeating the monsters.

As time went by, even a fragrant aroma wafted from the pit.

The average meat consumption per person in the Jin Dynasty was still very low; even soldiers in the prefectures rarely tasted meat.

This smells so good it makes my mouth water.

Xu Xuan had to emphasize that these things were inedible, really inedible.

Not to mention the toxins it carries, getting infected with a virus would be a big problem.

Generally, at a temperature of 56℃, the AIDS virus can be inactivated within 30 minutes. However, this is a fantasy world, and the virus is a similar strain; who knows if it might be even more potent?

Seeing the soldiers gripping their spears, their eyes slightly red, I was speechless. It's you who're afraid, it's you who want to eat, humans!
We can only throw in more kerosene; we can't eat it if it's burned to charcoal.

The fire burned for a very long time, and after the flames died down, only black charcoal remained in the pit.

There was no sign of life in my spiritual awareness, but I still went through the process once.

Have the soldiers use spears to pierce the wound inch by inch, making sure there are no survivors; caution is paramount.

By the time everything was finished, it was almost dark, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please come with me to the Prefect's residence, everyone. The Prefect is probably getting impatient."

Before anyone could complain of being tired, Xu Xuan spoke first, giving them a shot of adrenaline.

Please commend me!

Then I'm not tired anymore.

The county magistrate and his generals had their eyes shining as they escorted Mr. Xu to the rear.

Upon seeing the gate of the prefectural government office, they also saw Prefect Deng waiting there, and Prefect Lu, who was smiling broadly.

"Lord Deng, I have successfully completed my mission."

"You're fine."

Xu Xuan chuckled inwardly, thinking, "You've learned a few of the essences of humanity, haven't you?"

Unfortunately, I'm the kind of person who loves to relentlessly pursue and defeat even the most desperate enemies.

Now that the small ones are done, it's time to move on to the big ones.

After the business meeting, I took two steps forward and found an excuse to pull Lu Dan aside. This is a connection I've cultivated, so I have to protect him.

Then he made a gesture towards the unknown place.

The Taoist priest Mao, hidden in the shadows, silently unraveled a spell.

Then, right before everyone's eyes, a centipede demon actually crawled into the prefect's mansion!
It broke through the floor tiles and danced wildly here, the pain from the restrictions within its flesh and blood causing it to writhe madly.

Everyone was shocked!

correct!

All the other aristocratic families used realgar, but none of them did. Could it be that some escaped and got away with it?
The men who were just boasting about their achievements immediately scrambled away, realizing that this thing couldn't fight alone without troops.

Fortunately, Xu Xuan was concerned about the safety of the prefect.

"Prefect, don't panic, I'm here to help you!"

Then, with lightning speed, he pulled out a large packet of prepared powder from his sleeve and shook it out with practiced ease.

The force alone has seven variations, and it also incorporates the profound mysteries of the Buddhist Vajra Palm and the Flower-Picking Finger.

Even though the other party was a powerful demon, they didn't react in time and accepted all the goodwill wholeheartedly.

A wicked smile crept across Xu Xuan's lips.

Even Bai Suzhen, with her 1,700 years of cultivation, couldn't withstand the effects of drinking realgar wine and reverted to her original form. Do you think you, a little trash, can withstand it?

You're impressive for fooling the Qi calculations, but if you can also fool the Heavenly Dao's desire to counter me, then I'm going to run away.

Unfortunately, Deng You didn't have that ability.

Tear, tear, tear, tear
That's the sound of skin tearing, that's the sound of clothes being ripped.

A golden light flashed, and eerie Buddhist power, accompanied by the aura of primal ferocity, permeated the space.

Xu, who had just scattered the powder, first relaxed, then was astonished, then incredulous, and finally trembled as he raised his finger and pointed ahead, his eyes once again displaying a fan-shaped pattern of emotions.

In short, everything from her hair to her toenails is a performance!

"Yo! Yo! Yo!!!!!"

His voice was hoarse and strained, yet as loud as a bell, echoing across the vast wilderness!
