Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 507 Three Wonders Digging Soil
Unfortunately, these people seemed to have discovered something, so they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

"Wait, Father!"

"Um... if possible, I'd also like three shovels."

Father Ji could not agree to this request. What were you planning to do? He dared not leave without being told clearly.

Finally, it was Zao who said that they had consulted Zhuge Liang, who said there might be something under their ancestral grave.

Even the ritual of the curse might be here.

Zoroastrianism is currently only spreading in the Western Regions, and its methods are still very simple and primitive, unable to develop the ability to kill people across thousands of miles using curses.

Therefore, it is highly likely that they infiltrated the cemetery and used the flesh and blood of the avenger as a ritual setting.

The name Zhuge Wolong unexpectedly had some effect.

Moreover, Ji's father had some suspicions about the source of the fire, and eventually brought back four shovels and a large number of sacrificial items.

He possesses the decisiveness of a great businessman, and is certainly ruthless.

First, they would weep bitterly and apologize, expressing that their descendants were unfilial and that they must personally kill the enemy to appease their ancestors.

Then he made Ji Rui kowtow nine times, making a loud banging sound, before finally digging the soil.

"Dig where!"

With red eyes, Ji's father was extremely violent. If word got out that he was forced to do this, he would jump into the river with his son.

Zao and Ning Caichen both looked towards the western edge of the cemetery, which relieved the Ji family father and son.

This place is a bit of a relief, as it's some distance from the grave where the flames are burning the most.

The four men immediately got to work, and after digging for only a few minutes, they knew they had dug the right spot.

The soil's color and density were off; as they dug deeper, scorching air began to billow out. The three of them exclaimed almost simultaneously, "Yin energy!"

After experiencing the Guo Bei incident, they had an unforgettable impression of the aura of the underworld.

Although they couldn't quite understand the connection between yin energy and scorching heat, yin energy is yin energy, and Zao's righteous energy reacted very strongly.

Ji Rui felt a jolt in his heart, a fear connected to his bloodline emanating from him—this was the source.

At the deepest point of the soil, a piece of copper with patterns was unearthed.

Is this the thing cursing me?
The moment he saw it, he knew he was right. The connection was so clear at that moment that he could even see the scene of raging fire and ghostly screams through the copper plate.

Zao drew his wooden sword, gathered his righteous energy, and prepared to strike.

Just then, a tinkling sound came from afar. The sound seemed extremely soft, yet also extremely loud. It sounded both pleasant and unbearable to the ear.

The shock shook Ji's father so much that, for a moment, his body felt as if it were floating in mid-air, and he was completely disoriented.

The second sound came, completely different from the first. The voice was soft and melodious, like a whisper in the quiet night, like a gentle breeze rustling the willows, but it was just as breathtaking and awe-inspiring to the ear.

Ning Caichen's eyes narrowed, knowing that an extraordinary person had arrived. He dared not be negligent and pulled out a string from his zither, plucking it a few times. He used sacred sound to suppress evil magic and easily broke the enemy's method.

"Huh, a remarkable person from the Central Plains!"

"You deserve to die for touching my treasure."

The person approaching from afar blurted out the words as they leaped, but their tone was stiff and their speech was so literary it sounded like reciting a text.

Only when he got closer could he see that he was a foreign guest with brown hair and a high nose.

The moment this person landed, he lunged forward, his feet moving in an unpredictable manner, and in the blink of an eye, he was already wielding a strange weapon, aiming to smash it down on Ji Rui's head.

Early on, the student's qi and blood were abundant, Ning Caichen broke the spell with his zither, and Ji's father immediately rolled aside. Only this rich scholar was nothing.

If that blow landed, his brains would splatter out on the spot.

He was fast, but Zao was not slow either.

With a horizontal thrust of his sword, the fierce and powerful sword energy startled the foreigner, causing him to tumble three times over and fall to the side.

Even so, a piece of flesh was ripped away from his chest and abdomen by the hidden strings of the zither.

Ji Rui secretly lamented his misfortune. The dagger hidden in his sleeve and the white deer in the shadows were already poised to strike, ready to deliver a fatal backstab upon first meeting. He hadn't expected the foreigner's movements to be so unpredictable and illogical.

These barbarians from beyond the borders are truly outrageous. Who would do a somersault and leap backwards so close to you? It's like Mike Tyson showing off his Kun style boxing right in front of him. It's so outrageous that it's shocking and leaves you speechless.

Meanwhile, the foreign guest stood at a distance, still shaken, realizing that he had perhaps overestimated himself, as people in the Central Plains would say.

However, he couldn't lose the treasure. He had only recently discovered its wondrous nature and planned to bring it back to the main church to offer to the holy Asura.

Twenty years ago, he was entrusted by his blood relatives to use this object to cast a spell, burning his fate with heavenly fire.

However, the divine punishment never came to pass, so he began to study Central Plains culture while improving the rituals.

It was only later that they discovered that this copper plate possessed divine power and had even connected with another world.

I never expected that my research would be discovered so soon after I started to figure it out.

That being the case!

He faced west and formed the Holy Fire Seal, and four exceptionally holy flames appeared around him, making him appear both godlike and demonic.

"The cursed spirit is dead. Let me take the things with me, and our grudges will be settled."

The endorsement was still written in a literary style, but the resolute determination within it was fully revealed.

Based on a binary worldview, Zoroastrian believers hold the belief that they can help a benevolent deity save the world.

Therefore, even if he curses an unborn child, or destroys someone else's ancestral grave, it is all just, kind, and necessary.

Even if it requires self-sacrifice, one must fulfill one's beliefs.

So he died.

Seeing that they couldn't communicate with him, the three of them joined forces and killed him.

The white deer struck, extinguishing the sacred flame on the spot. Then, a wooden sword, zither strings, and a small knife were all stuck into it.

That was a truly tragic scene; his soul was completely annihilated.

When Ji's father saw this scene, he didn't say anything. He was a businessman who relied not only on making money through harmony, but also on some other methods.

It's not a bad thing that Rui'er has a decisive and ruthless side. Besides, she's done this with the disciples of two big shots, so their relationship must be extremely close.

However, he found it hard to accept the way the three men skillfully searched and cleaned the place.

Did Chongqi study such a wide variety of subjects?

As for the bronze plate filled with yin energy, it was cut down by Zao-kun's sword. No treasure is more important than my brother.

In an instant, everyone seemed to hear a scream, then the yin energy disappeared, and the flames on the ancestral grave gradually went out.

The three were overjoyed. Sure enough, as long as they joined forces, there was nothing in this world that could stump them.

Ji's father even planned to hold a feast for several days to calm his nerves, as this day had been too exciting.

But a moment later, Ji Rui's expression turned sour.

Why is this?

"The curse has not yet disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Zao immediately swung his sword again without saying a word and asked how things were now.

"not yet."

Ning Caichen attempted to influence the inanimate object with the Emperor's Qin music, but unfortunately, playing the Qin on an inanimate object was ineffective.

Even after a while, the temperature of the ancestral grave rose again.
The dramatic ups and downs nearly made Ji's father faint. The evil spirit was found, the culprit was killed, but...
Finally, the three decided to seek help from outside the venue again, sending the rubbings of the bronze sheet to Baoan Temple in the form of a letter.

After finishing, Ji Rui sighed and reached out to grab the monster, intending to give it a good whack.

Ding!
　I'm planning to open a small instance featuring the Three Wonders to introduce the first storyline of the new year, and also to boost the combat power of the three characters.
