I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

It was evening.

The group from the South City branch drove into the North City area in two SUVs.

Meanwhile, members of the Night Watchmen branch in Kitahara City were already waiting at the intersection.

The team leader was Zhao Tieshan, the head of the northern branch. He was in his fifties, with a square face and dark skin, clearly someone who spent a lot of time in the wild.

"Old Liu!"

After the car stopped, Zhao Tieshan immediately came up to Liu Zhenguo and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"We've been waiting for you!"

"How's the situation?" Liu Zhenguo asked bluntly.

Zhao Tieshan's face darkened.

"Not optimistic."

He pointed to the west.

"That ancient tomb is in an old forest about ten miles west of the city. It was discovered by a few tomb raiders a few days ago."

"Five people went in, but only one came out, and he went crazy."

"Our people have investigated, and the tomb is filled with malevolent energy, at least level B, and possibly even level A."

Liu Zhenguo frowned.

Class A evil spirit...

"Does headquarters know?"

"Understood." Zhao Tieshan nodded. "President Qin said that if it really can't be handled, then we should apply to the military for heavy weapons."

"But that would inevitably cause widespread panic."

"The whole country is now guiding public opinion, preparing to gradually reveal the news of the Reiki revival."

"If we use heavy weapons now, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Liu Zhenguo fell silent.

indeed.

The Night Watch headquarters is currently working diligently to guide public opinion, preparing to gradually reveal the existence of the extraordinary world to the public.

This process must be smooth and free from major shocks.

If heavy weapons were used now to level the ancient tombs on the outskirts of Kitahara City, the resulting panic would be unimaginable.

At that point, all sorts of rumors will fly around, and the situation will be difficult to control.

"Let's see how things go first."

Liu Zhenguo said.

"By the way, do you have any other support personnel here?"

"Yes." Zhao Tieshan smiled slightly. "People from the shamanic lineage have also arrived."

"A shaman?"

Jin Hao curiously peeked over.

Zhao Tieshan glanced at him and smiled, "This must be Master Li's friend, right?"

"Yes, my name is Jin Hao."

"Indeed, a handsome man." Zhao Tieshan nodded. "The shamanic practice is a folk tradition in the north, where five deities are worshipped—Fox, Weasel, White, Willow, and Gray."

"They asked a deity to possess them and borrow the deity's power to exorcise evil spirits."

Jin Hao was stunned.

Isn't this just a shamanistic ritual?

"Don't underestimate shamans," Liu Zhenguo said from the side. "They have a long tradition, and some of the older generation are very skilled."

As they were talking, several cars drove up from a distance.

After it came to a complete stop, seven or eight people got off.

There were people of all ages, all dressed simply, and some were carrying shamanic instruments such as drums and whips.

The leader was an elderly woman in her sixties with gray hair but bright eyes.

"Young Zhao."

The old lady walked over, her voice hoarse.

"Aunt Hu," Zhao Tieshan quickly introduced, "this is Liu Zhenguo, the person in charge of the South City branch."

"Old Liu, this is Aunt Hu from the Hu family."

Liu Zhenguo stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Aunt Hu, thank you for your help this time."

Aunt Hu waved her hand.

"No need for polite words."

She looked westward, her brows furrowed.

"The things in that tomb are extraordinary."

"I just had a spirit medium sense it, and the malevolent energy is very strong, and... it has a physical form."

"A physical entity?" Liu Zhenguo's expression changed.

There are two kinds of evil spirits.

One type is a spirit, which has no physical form and is afraid of yang energy and magical artifacts.

Another type is a physical entity, such as zombies or corpse puppets.

This one is much harder to deal with; ordinary magical artifacts are completely useless against it.

"It should be a zombie," Aunt Hu said in a deep voice. "And at least an armored zombie, maybe even a bronze-armored zombie. Exclusive! A super-eager-to-write interview and behind-the-scenes look at the creation of 'Live-streaming the sale of peach wood swords, how did I become a Dao Ancestor?', exclusively for Cola Novels."

Everyone's expression changed.

Zombies are classified into four types based on their strength: Iron Armor, Bronze Armor, Silver Armor, and Gold Armor.

The armored corpse is equivalent to a C-level evil spirit; it is impervious to blades and spears and possesses immense strength.

The copper-armored corpse is a B-grade monster, far stronger than ordinary B-grade evil spirits. Not only is it impervious to blades and spears, but it also has extremely strong regenerative abilities. Unless heavy firepower or special methods are used, it is very difficult to kill.

"If it really is a bronze-armored corpse..." Zhao Tieshan's voice was grave, "relying on just the few of us, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."

Aunt Hu sighed.

"Therefore, we need to consider this carefully."

"We'll make our move tomorrow at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak."

"The evil energy will be suppressed then, and our chances of winning will be greater."

Liu Zhenguo nodded.

This is the best solution at the moment.

"Then tomorrow at noon."

He looked at the crowd.

"Get a good rest tonight and recharge your energy."

"Tomorrow... there's a tough battle ahead."

Night was falling.

Night Watchman's Dormitory, Kitahara City.

Jin Hao was assigned to a room on the third floor.

His roommate was Wang Hu.

"Kid, go to sleep early."

Wang Hu made the bed and gave instructions.

Jin Hao nodded and lay down on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He took out his phone, intending to message the Taoist priest, but then put it down after thinking about it.

We mustn't disturb the Taoist priest's cultivation.

He touched the peach wood sword in his arms, as well as the two Five Thunder Talismans.

The Taoist priest said that if you encounter evil spirits, use the one that has been marked.

It must be very powerful, right?

Jin Hao felt both excited and nervous.

Looking forward to seeing the power of the Five Thunder Talisman.

What if the power isn't enough in case of a nervous situation?

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

He closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.

And just as he was drifting off to sleep...

The mark left by the health charm that brought back all diseases was slightly warm.

Jin Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

He vaguely sensed a chilling aura emanating from the western mountains and forests.

Like a tide, it slowly surges towards the city.

"This is……"

Jin Hao sat up and looked out the window.

The night was pitch black.

Deep in the mountains and forests, a faint red light flickered.

Like an eye.

Many pairs of eyes.

He was staring at the city.

……

The next day.

The night watchmen and shamans gathered early in the lobby on the first floor.

A sense of oppression permeated the air.

When Jin Hao followed Liu Zhenguo in, he saw that Aunt Hu was making preparations with several disciples of the shaman.

Two young disciples knelt on the ground, with an incense burner in front of them and a shaman drum in their hands, chanting incantations.

They are inviting spirit mediums.

Jin Hao took a second look out of curiosity.

Suddenly, one of the disciples trembled, his eyes rolled back, and he looked completely different.

His voice became high-pitched, and his movements became like those of some animal.

"The Hu family is possessed by a spirit," Wang Hu explained quietly from the side. "They've summoned a fox spirit."

Jin Hao nodded, but felt a little nervous inside.

He had only ever seen such scenes in movies before.

"Is everything ready?"

Liu Zhenguo looked around.

Zhao Tieshan nodded: "Our men are all waiting outside."

Aunt Hu also stood up. She looked much better and her eyes were sharp.

"The spirit mediums have been summoned and are ready to depart at any time."

"it is good."

Liu Zhenguo checked the time.

10:00 AM.

There are still two hours until noon when the yang energy is at its peak.

"Set off."
