Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 42 Where did this senior come from? How could he use the innate Qi to subdue ghosts?
Chen Xu was in Shengyufang, listening to the music of stringed instruments and the singing and dancing in peace and prosperity.

He was standing next to a stall selling various masks depicting ghosts and gods. The stall owner was chattering, "Sir, the masks here are all blessed by the monks of Yuanxin Temple in Fucheng. They can scare away any evil spirits when worn on the face. They are perfect for nighttime travel.

If you buy one, you won't have to worry about running out of things to use when you go to study or take exams in other places.

How can you sell masks like this?

Chen Xu picked up a few masks and compared them in his hands, as if he was listening carefully to the stall owner's boasting.

But no one knew that his real attention was actually on the Lin Mansion three streets away.

A Taoist soldier named Niwan actually enabled him to hear the words of ghosts and gods.

He can hear sounds that ordinary mortals cannot hear, and he can see things that ordinary mortals cannot see.

Something that ordinary mortals cannot kill—

He didn't know if he could kill it. If he was in the Lin Mansion, killing the ghost with his fire control skills should be a piece of cake.

But the Niwan Taoist soldiers seem to only be able to perform physical attacks and are not proficient in magic.

This was the first time Chen Xu used the Niwan Taoist soldiers, and he was still a little unfamiliar with how to use them.

He only felt that there was a mysterious connection in the dark, which made him control the Niwan Taoist soldiers as easily as controlling a limb that extended outward, even though he was several miles away.

Through the Taoist soldiers, he witnessed the entire process of Lin Yuan being devoured by the evil spirit raised in his Soul-Falling Bell. Listening to the howling of the black fog, he never felt so deeply as at that moment what it meant to be a cycle of cause and effect and retribution.

Certain information revealed in Song Yan's words made Chen Xu verify once again that his action of striking first was indeed correct.

At the bottom of the corridor, Lin Yuan's body fell backwards, with a bloody hole between his eyebrows.

Several dark shadows pounced on him, and gradually all kinds of strange teeth marks and green shadows appeared on his face and body.

His soul, which had not yet completely transformed into a ghost, seemed to be screaming at first, but later the screaming became weaker.

Finally, under the Qisifeng lamp, all the sounds of Lin Yuan's remaining soul disappeared, only the black shadows were still pushing, fighting and devouring each other.

"What are you doing?" a dark shadow screamed.

"I want to eat you, you smell so good..."

"Hehehe, I'll eat you too..."

Distorted and chaotic, a new round of competition begins again.

A sharp red light gradually emerged from the dark bodies of the black shadows, and everything was about to get out of control.

Theoretically, the Niwan Taoist soldiers should have retired at this time.

As the saying goes, when the work is done, one leaves, hiding one's achievements and fame.

Chen Xu could even destroy this Niwan Taoist soldier directly from a distance, for example, by ordering it to jump into a small pond in the back garden of the Lin Mansion. Then everything would naturally be clear and it would no longer have anything to do with him.

But Chen Xu stood beside the mask stall, listening to the stall owner's mumbling: "My dear, the world is not peaceful nowadays. I heard a few days ago that there were water ghosts in Pingshui Township.

They specifically target young ladies and children passing by because they have weaker breath and lighter souls and are easily seduced by water ghosts.

As long as passers-by are deceived and jump into the water, the water ghost will find someone to die in his place, and he himself can escape from this bitter water.

Don’t you think this is scary?

If you are weak, don't even go near water.

Alas, the people are having a hard time, and there are more and more ghosts because they are tired.

Anyway, it won't hurt to prepare more self-defense items. We didn't catch up with good times, and we were born in this world, so we can only protect ourselves more..."

The stall owner finally caught someone who was willing to listen to him, and his words were so continuous and uninterrupted that they flowed like a torrent.

Chen Xu listened with his ears tilted, but his eyebrows were twitching.

He didn't know why, but he thought of the question his teacher had asked him when he first entered school: "Why do you study?"

At the time, Chen Xu simply wanted to change his downtrodden fate through studying, so naturally, he didn't have any lofty ideals. He didn't use any high-sounding excuses to package himself, but simply embellished his words slightly and replied, "Master, I study to control my own destiny."

Chen Xu still remembers the old man's stunned expression.

Now, he not only has to study, but also embarks on the path of cultivating immortals.

Although he is still weak, he has at least embarked on the initial path of controlling his own destiny.

However, once you embark on this path, do you have to "do your best and not care about the flood that comes after you"?

Do not!
The Food Tripod Heavenly Book had never taught him this.

The volume on the cultivation method of the God of Cookery also says that when cooking all kinds of food in the world, the first thing to do is to have clear thoughts.

Now, turning around and leaving made him confused.

Next to the mask stall, Chen Xu's eyebrows were twitching, the power of his soul was surging left and right, and his breathing in the Niwan Palace was swollen.

He felt that his control over the Niwan Dao soldiers had been further strengthened.

In the Dantian, the innate Qi suddenly sneaks upwards.

Rushing through Tanzhong and crossing Tiantu.

Chen Xu's mind suddenly moved as he wished, and he added three points to his essence, qi, blood, and spirit in succession.

With the help of the sudden increase in properties at this time, he finally grasped the strange line in the dark.

Beside the long corridor of the Lin Mansion, the Qisifeng lantern was still swaying in the wind.

Above Lin Yuan's corpse, the twisted black shadows devoured each other and were about to grow larger, with evil spirits and ghostly auras rising into the sky.

Suddenly, the little man with the spear who had been standing silently watching the battle suddenly jumped up.

The little man jumped seven feet high, with a small body and a small spear.

At this moment, the seemingly pocket-sized gun suddenly appeared like a cloud emerging from a mountain and the scorching sun bursting out.

boom--

A blaze that came from nowhere seemed to have descended from the sky at this moment. The flames were so fierce that they pierced into the gradually expanding black shadow along with the small gun.

"what!"

The ghost's cry was sharp and piercing.

But it was no match for the raging flames that shot up into the sky.

Outside the Lin Mansion, in the streets.

The young Taoist priest, who had finally led the stubborn donkey to the side of the mansion, looked up at the fire in the mansion, his mouth wide open in astonishment.

"This, this, this...what kind of magical power is this?"

"God of Heaven, this is the innate Qi! In this mortal world, is there still a master willing to use the innate Qi?"

"Which senior is exorcising the ghosts?"

The young Taoist priest opened his eyes wide to check something, but unexpectedly, a demonic aura flashed by from the other side of the mansion.

The compass in the Taoist's hand suddenly spun wildly, and the Taoist was even more shocked: "There are not only ghosts in this mansion, but also monsters? Whose family is this? Who are all the unlucky people in this mansion? Ouch..."

He quickly pasted a yellow talisman on the donkey, turned over, rode on the donkey and was about to chase the monster.

"I stopped this monster for you, Senior. You said you might teach me some advanced magic tricks because I'm young and clever. Tsk..."

Before the Taoist priest could feel happy, the compass in his hand, which had been spinning wildly just now, suddenly became quiet.

The evil spirit just disappeared like that?
