Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying pushed open the snow-white gate and stepped into the house. They immediately felt a chilling aura, as if they had entered a place other than the human world, but the underworld.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely get goosebumps at this moment and instinctively want to stay away.
Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying were both cultivators, so their expressions were only slightly solemn.
Uncle Ying had only taken two steps when he squatted down, brushed the ground aside with his hand, and revealed the quicklime underneath.
"The entire courtyard was covered with black mud, barren of all vegetation, and covered with lime. It was black on the outside and white on the inside, making it an excellent place to raise corpses!"
Lime can prevent decay; this is an ancient method of preserving corpses!
Given the yin energy gathered here, it's clear that the other party has a lineage of sects that have transformed the entire residence into a feng shui site for raising corpses!
"Furthermore, this lime contains glass, which gathers yin energy and is used to control walking corpses!"
Uncle Ying stood up, looked at the white chrysanthemum carved on the stone pillar not far away, and frowned, saying, "It's the Nine Chrysanthemums faction!"
Lin Xuan nodded. "My master told me that this sect is the number one evil sect in the Sakura Kingdom!"
Lin Xuan never expected that the other party would not even bother to conceal it, and directly carved their sect's symbol on the stone pillar in the courtyard.
This is clearly an extremely arrogant display.
They were being told openly that they weren't afraid of revealing their true strength, or rather, as the number one evil faction in the Sakura Kingdom, they had the confidence to do so.
"Hmph, unorthodox methods!"
Uncle Ying snorted coldly, looking down on this sect. He took out the jade pendant magic weapon hanging around his neck, shone it on the chrysanthemum on the stone pillar, and the jade pendant magic weapon immediately flew out.
"Such heavy Yin energy, it has turned from spirit to demon, and gone astray!"
Uncle Ying was startled. There was actually a Yin-attribute barrier set up inside this house. Without removing the barrier, he, a master of the ninth level, would not be able to enter.
"Uncle-Master, how about I force my way in and take a look?" Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan was quite curious about this Nine Chrysanthemums faction, and even intrigued by it.
This sect, the one that raises corpses and refines ghosts, has absolutely no good people; killing them will increase your merit points.
The corpses the other party raises and the ghosts they cultivate also contribute to merit points!
It's so tempting!
"No, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. This is their territory, and who knows how many secrets they might be hiding. Even if you are a geomancer, Lin Xuan, you can't just barge in!"
"Moreover, I feel that my opportunity for a breakthrough lies here. Let me fight him first!"
After Uncle Ying finished speaking, Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Uncle Ying to be about to break through.
Lin Xuan originally thought that with the support of 20 spirit stones, his master would be able to break through to the Earth Master level ahead of Uncle Ying.
Now it seems that the chances are slim.
Uncle Ying truly lives up to his name!
Moreover, what Uncle Ying said was not without reason.
Cultivators who make preparations in advance on their own territory will at least increase their strength by one level.
Just like when Uncle Ying was in his own dojo, even the Ghost King had to kneel down when he entered.
The temple not only has various talisman arrays set up, but also enshrines the patriarch, who can be invited to descend to the mortal world.
Fighting a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple is definitely a foolish thing to do!
As the number one evil sect in the Sakura Kingdom, the Nine Chrysanthemums faction does have some tricks up their sleeve. It would be best to be cautious if we rashly intruded into their territory.
Uncle Ying took out a compass, intending to find a way to break the opponent's protective feng shui barrier.
Just then, several palm-sized paper figures suddenly floated out of the courtyard, with pale yellow chrysanthemum petals stuck to their foreheads.
The moment the paper figure landed, it instantly transformed into a white paper soldier as tall as a person, holding either a knife or a sword, exuding an extremely strong aura of malevolence and yin energy.
"Creating soldiers by conjuring talismans, no, according to the Japanese terminology, these are shikigami?"
Uncle Ying frowned deeply.
Both he and Lin Xuan could sense that inside each paper figure was a soul that had died unjustly.
"These guys are ruthless!" Lin Xuan sneered.
The spirits created from human souls are naturally more intelligent and powerful than ordinary paper doll spirits!
The other party threw out eight paper figures without hesitation, clearly not caring about them, and intentionally trying to intimidate Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying.
Uncle Ying's face was already showing anger. Holding the jade pendant and magic weapon, he was about to destroy these paper figures.
"Uncle-Master, give me these paper figures. You continue to break his protective barrier and feng shui."
Lin Xuan picked up the century-old peach wood sword, strode forward, and a shimmering cyan sword intent swirled around the sword. With a single thrust, he pierced through a paper figure.
zizi~
A thick plume of smoke rose from the paper figure, which then ignited without any fire.
[Ding! Low-level shikigami defeated. Reward: 500 merit points.]
A single shikigami can have 500 merit points!
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. Facing the siege of the other shikigami, he retreated instead of advancing, brandishing his long sword.
Qingyuan Sword Technique!
A 60-degree cyan sword light flashed, and the paper figure was no match for it.
Seeing Lin Xuan destroy the paper figures, Uncle Ying, holding a compass, searched everywhere [Novel Transfer Group 2 1 537572345] and finally found the important items for maintaining the feng shui pattern and the barrier.
Right in front of the big house, there were those two white lanterns.
The entire room was painted white, so it was easy to miss the two lanterns if you didn't look closely!
This is what they call "the darkest place is under the lamp"!
The setup of this formation also incorporated psychology.
Moreover, these two lanterns are also magical artifacts, and cannot be lit by ordinary fire.
Uncle Ying took out his jade pendant magic weapon and used the Maoshan spiritual power within it to imprint it on the lantern, thus burning it and breaking the barrier.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan fought as he went, and quickly eliminated the remaining seven paper figures.
[Ding! Low-level shikigami defeated. Reward: 500 merit points.]
……
In no time at all, 4000 merit points were credited to my account.
"The barrier has been broken, let's go in quickly!"
After saying that, Uncle Ying was about to push open the door and step into the house.
Suddenly, a black rope flew out of the house, pierced through the wooden door, and shot straight toward Uncle Ying like a sharp arrow.
what!
Uncle Ying had just realized what was happening and tried to stop it, but it was too late. He was about to be pierced through by the black rope.
"Master Uncle, be careful!"
With the aid of the Phantom Step, Lin Xuan moved with incredible speed, grabbing the black rope in one swift motion. A wisp of green smoke rose as the black rope softened in Lin Xuan's hand.
"Yin attribute spiritual power at the Earth Master level!"
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
As expected of a geomancer, a villain of this caliber must have accumulated a lot of merit points!
Come to think of it, if he weren't a geomancer, no one would have known that he would stay here after arriving.
"Thank you!"
"Go inside and find them quickly, don't let them get away."
Uncle Ying thanked Lin Xuan and prepared to go back inside.
Now is not the time for idle chatter.
The two stepped into the house together.
However, they were still a step too late; the black rope was a trap set in advance to block their path.
As for the people inside, they had already run away!
Lin Xuan and Uncle Ying searched separately and only found Eddie's body and a cat's body; there was no one else there.
"There must be a tunnel in this room, but we've been gone for so long, we definitely can't catch up."
Uncle Ying shook his head. He thought that the other side was probably scared because of Lin Xuan, the geomancer, and that's why they retreated without a fight.
It's just a pity that even though he broke through the opportunity, he still has to wait a little longer.
"Uncle-Master, let Officer Lin and the others handle things here. Let's go back first."
Lin Xuan wasn't disappointed even though he couldn't find the person; a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.
The other party is also a geomancer, a master in the supernatural world, and a member of the Nine Chrysanthemums sect, so there's no reason for him to be so afraid of him.
