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

Around noon, a convoy consisting of two SUVs and three pickup trucks drove out of Beiyuan city and headed towards the western suburbs.

Jin Hao sat in the second SUV, watching the scenery rushing past the window.

The further west you go, the denser the trees become, and the more difficult the road becomes.

Half an hour later, the convoy stopped in front of a dense forest.

There's no road ahead.

Everyone got off the vehicle and carried their equipment.

Jin Hao also put on a backpack, which contained some equipment issued to the Night Watch.

"From here, we have to walk."

Zhao Tieshan pointed to the dense forest ahead.

"The ancient tomb is deep in the old forest, about a half-hour walk away."

Liu Zhenguo nodded and looked at the team.

"Everyone, check your equipment and stay alert."

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Jin Hao took a deep breath and followed the group into the dense forest.

It was very dark in the woods.

The tall trees blocked out the sun, allowing only a little sunlight to filter through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which felt soft and crunchy underfoot.

There was a musty smell in the air, and... a faint fishy smell.

Watch your step.

Wang Hu walked beside Jin Hao and whispered a reminder.

"There are many poisonous insects and snakes in this kind of place."

Jin Hao nodded and gripped the peach wood sword in his hand tightly.

The brand on his chest was constantly getting slightly warm, as if it was sensing something.

The further you go in, the more pronounced the chilly feeling becomes.

Something's not right.

Aunt Hu, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped.

She squatted down, picked up a handful of soil from the ground, and smelled it.

"There's a corpse aura."

Her expression was grave.

"That thing... might have already woken up."

Everyone's hearts tightened.

"Speed ​​up."

Liu Zhenguo said in a deep voice.

The team quickened their pace.

Jin Hao felt the brand on his chest getting hotter and hotter.

The surrounding yin energy was getting heavier and heavier.

It was as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.

"Be on guard!"

Zhao Tieshan suddenly let out a low shout.

He drew his issued dagger, its blade engraved with exorcising runes that gleamed faintly in the dim forest.

Almost simultaneously.

Whoosh whoosh!

Several dark figures darted out from the bushes on both sides!

It's a vengeful spirit!

Low-level vengeful spirits, without physical form, but numerous in number, more than a dozen!

"Let's do it!"

Liu Zhenguo gave the order.

The Night's Watch members immediately went to meet them.

Short swords flashed, and talismans flew.

The shaman's disciples also made their move.

The disciple who had summoned the fox spirit moved with incredible speed and agility, his hands transforming into sharp claws that could grab one spirit at a time, causing the vengeful spirits to vanish upon contact.

Another disciple summoned Willow Fairy, whose body became incredibly supple, coiling around the vengeful spirit like a snake and crushing it.

Jin Hao also wanted to make a move.

But he was protected by Chen Jianguo and Wang Hu, so he had no chance at all.

"Jin Hao, you stay in the middle of the formation!"

As Liu Zhenguo slashed down a vengeful spirit, he said:

"You're new and inexperienced, don't do anything rash!"

Jin Hao gritted his teeth and could only watch.

He felt the brand on his chest burning hot.

The surrounding yin energy and evil aura could not get close to him at all.

Anyone who gets within three meters of him melts away instantly, like ice and snow meeting a raging fire.

The shamans noticed this scene and their eyes showed surprise.

They had previously looked down on Jin Hao because of his young age.

But now it seems...

This kid is something else!

The battle ended quickly.

More than a dozen vengeful spirits were cleaned up.

But no one let their guard down.

We've only just entered the forest, and there are already so many vengeful spirits...

How dangerous must the things in the ancient tomb be?

"keep going."

Liu Zhenguo sheathed his short sword, his expression grave.

The team set off again.

This time, everyone was more vigilant.

Jin Hao walked in the middle of the formation, the brand on his chest constantly burning.

He could feel the surrounding yin energy surging in wave after wave, like a tide.

But all of that was blocked by the yang energy on his body.

"This kid..." Aunt Hu watched Jin Hao's retreating figure, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, "How come his yang energy is so strong?"

She has practiced Buddhism for decades and has seen many people with abundant yang energy.

But someone like Jin Hao...

She's practically a human sun!

We walked for another ten minutes or so.

An open space appeared ahead.

In the open space, there was a huge mound of earth, like a small mountain.

In front of the mound of earth stood a broken stone tablet with indistinct inscriptions.

"arrive."

Zhao Tieshan stopped and pointed to the mound of earth.

"The entrance to the ancient tomb is behind the mound of earth."

The crowd gathered around.

It was a tomb robber's hole, pitch black, with cold air emanating from it.

"Once inside, everyone maintain formation and don't scatter," Liu Zhenguo said in a deep voice. "If you encounter any small fry, deal with them directly; don't let them disturb what's inside the main coffin."

"clear!"

The crowd filed in.

The tomb passage is very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Liu Zhenguo and Zhao Tieshan took the lead, holding specially made high-powered flashlights to illuminate the way ahead.

Jin Hao was protected in the middle of the group, with Chen Jianguo and other members of the South City branch surrounding him.

The tomb passage was cold and damp, with a rotten smell permeating the air.

Occasionally, a few low-level vengeful spirits would pounce out from the corner, but Liu Zhenguo and his men easily dealt with them.

Jin Hao watched as the evil spirits were easily killed, feeling both admiration and a little disappointed.

It seems like I don't have much of a role to play.

The deeper you go into the tomb, the heavier the yin energy becomes.

Frost covered the walls, and you could see white vapor when you breathed.

Finally, they arrived at the main burial chamber.

The tomb chamber was very large, about half the size of a basketball court.

In the very center was a huge stone coffin, with ancient patterns carved on it.

Scattered around the stone coffin were burial weapons, including knives, spears, swords, and halberds. Although they were rusted, their sharpness was still evident.

The ground is engraved with intricate patterns.

The patterns, like a spider web, spread out from the bottom of the stone coffin and covered the entire floor of the tomb.

"A corpse-raising formation..." Liu Zhenguo squatted down, examined it carefully, and said with a solemn expression, "And it's the most vicious kind, the Seven Fiends Gathering Yin Formation."

"This formation can gather the yin energy and malevolent energy within a radius of a hundred miles."

The substance nourishing the corpse in the coffin suggests that what's inside is likely even more ferocious than we anticipated.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

Zhao Tieshan gripped the short knife in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be alert and prepare to open the coffin."

Before he could finish speaking...

Click...click click...

A slight sound suddenly came from inside the stone coffin.

It sounded like... fingernails scraping against a coffin lid.

Everyone held their breath.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura of malevolence shot into the sky from the stone coffin!

It was several times more intense than what I felt outside!

A chilling wind howled, and the temperature inside the tomb plummeted.

The frost on the walls thickened at a visible rate, and the ground began to freeze.

"Step back!" Liu Zhenguo shouted sternly.

Everyone quickly retreated and created distance.

At that moment, the lid of the stone coffin was suddenly ripped open by a tremendous force!

boom!

The heavy stone coffin lid flew off and smashed into the tomb wall, shattering into several pieces.

A pair of withered hands reached out from the coffin and clung to its edge.

Then, a figure dressed in armor slowly sat up from the coffin.

Its armor is rusted, but its former splendor is still evident.

His face was gaunt, his skin clung to his bones, and his eyes were two black holes, flashing with a scarlet light.

The most terrifying thing is that its outer skin, under the corrosive influence of the evil energy, has developed a faint silvery-white sheen.

Silver-armored Corpse!

Moreover, the sheer amount of malevolent energy far surpasses that of ordinary silver-armored corpses!

"A silver-armored corpse..." Granny Hu's face turned pale. "This thing has already stepped one foot into S-rank!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

How am I supposed to fight an S-rank silver-armored corpse with one foot already in it?

Just then, the silver-armored corpse's scarlet eyes slowly turned and finally... locked onto Jin Hao.

That vigorous yang energy was like a lighthouse in the dark night in its eyes.

It smells so good!

Highly nourishing!

"roar!"

The silver-armored corpse let out a roar and leaped out of the coffin, its landing shaking the entire tomb.

Then, it made its move directly, targeting Jin Hao!

The speed is astonishing!

Liu Zhenguo's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Stop it!"

Zhao Tieshan, Chen Jianguo, and others took action, unleashing various magical artifacts and talismans at the silver-armored corpse.

But the silver-armored corpse neither dodged nor flinched, enduring the attacks head-on and continuing to pounce on Jin Hao.

The magical artifacts struck it, making clanging sounds, but they couldn't even break its armor.

The talisman did have some effect, exploding into bursts of fire on its body, but it only slowed it down slightly and couldn't cause any real damage.

"It's too hard!" one of the team members said through gritted teeth.

The silver-armored corpse had already rushed close.

Liu Zhenguo gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the dagger.

The short sword suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light.

"cut!"

He slashed at the silver-armored corpse with his sword.

This strike was delivered with full force; the air whistled as the blade passed through.

clang!

The blade struck the silver-armored corpse's shoulder, producing a loud clang of metal striking metal.

The silver-armored corpse was jolted back a step, and a crack appeared in the armor on its shoulder.

But that's about it.

It looked down at its shoulder, a flash of anger seemingly appearing in its scarlet eyes, and raised its hand to punch Liu Zhenguo.

Liu Zhenguo parried with his sword.

boom!

He was punched and sent flying, crashing into the tomb wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Boss!" Chen Jianguo's eyes turned red.

After knocking Liu Zhenguo away, the silver-armored corpse continued to pounce on Jin Hao.

At this moment, Jin Hao had already retreated to a corner of the tomb chamber.

"Run!"

Liu Zhenguo struggled to stand up, but the sharp pain in his shoulder prevented him from moving.

Jin Hao leaned against the wall, watching the silver-armored corpse getting closer and closer, his legs feeling weak.

He could feel the brand on his chest burning hot.

Under the influence of the talisman's power, the body's energy and blood became more vigorous than ever before.

The yang energy soars to the heavens!

Like a little sun!

This made the silver-armored corpse even more excited.

Just then, Jin Hao suddenly remembered Li Jun's instructions.

"If you encounter evil spirits, immediately use this talisman that has been marked."

He frantically pulled out the Five Thunder Talisman.

But then, he froze.

How do I use it?

The Taoist priest didn't teach that!

Do I need to incantations to use talismans? Do I need to perform hand seals?

He had no idea!

The silver-armored corpse was about to pounce on them.

A foul, fishy stench hit me.

Jin Hao's mind went completely blank.

In a moment of desperation, he remembered a scene from a movie.

do not care!

Try anything, no matter how desperate!

"Great...Godfather, save me!!!"

Jin Hao roared and threw the talisman at the silver-armored corpse.

The moment the talisman slipped from my hand.

Jin Hao felt as if all the energy in his body had been drained.

I felt completely exhausted and almost collapsed.

And that talisman...

Suddenly, the sky lit up.

It's unusually bright.

It was that kind of dazzling golden light that made people afraid to look directly at it!

The runes on the talisman paper seemed to come alive, detaching from the paper and flying in the air.

then……

boom!!!

A bolt of lightning struck out of nowhere!

No, it didn't fall from the sky.

It blasted straight through the top of the ancient tomb and came in from the outside!

The thick bolt of lightning, like divine punishment, struck the silver-armored corpse with pinpoint accuracy!

"roar!!!"

The silver-armored corpse let out a scream that was extremely shrill.

Its armor instantly vaporized in the lightning.

The skin, gleaming with silver light, was torn apart like paper.

The charred bones inside were exposed.

but……

This is just the beginning.
