A passerby in a horror movie

Before his health had fully recovered, the abbot thought he should take advantage of the two years he still had to live to enjoy his retirement and hand over the affairs of Wong Tai Sin Temple to Li Fude. He didn't think he had any chance of making a breakthrough.

Now that he felt his energy and spirit had increased, the abbot regained his confidence. He felt that he might be able to break through to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm in his lifetime.

With the aid of the spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy at Wong Tai Sin Temple is much stronger than outside. As long as one focuses on cultivation, the probability of breaking through is not small.

The more the abbot thought about it, the more excited he became. He stood up and felt the abundant energy and spirit within his body. Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him seemed to become more welcoming.

However, before he could officially begin making arrangements, a fellow traveler approached him the very next day.

"Alas, senior brother, I didn't mean to disturb your peaceful cultivation, but I really have no confidence in this matter."

In the front yard, a thin Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe hurried over.

His steps faltered slightly, his face filled with worry. He sighed and looked helplessly at the abbot and Li Fude.

The Taoist's surname was Jin, and he was a fellow disciple of the same school as the abbot and Li Fude.

After completing his apprenticeship early in his life, Master Jin left the Wong Tai Sin Temple and established his own Taoist temple.

Although his fame and ability are not as great as the Abbé's, he has made a name for himself in Hong Kong with his good qualifications and responsible attitude.

Over the years, he has performed many religious ceremonies, and many wealthy businessmen have come specifically to have him perform rituals and pray for blessings, which has given his temple a certain influence.

"Junior brother, please tell me slowly, don't rush, have some tea."

Seeing his junior brother in such a hurry, the abbot must have something important to say, so he quickly asked him.

Although his relationship with Junior Brother Jin wasn't as close as his relationship with Li Fude, he was still Junior Brother Jin.

Moreover, they have kept in touch and met frequently over the years, and their relationship is quite good, so it's impossible for them not to help.

Master Jin looked at the abbot and slowly said:

Eleven years ago, the second wife of the Zheng family bought a vase from the market. Little did she know that the vase was a funerary object where the Demon King of Devouring Spirits hid.

The Devouring Spirit King was originally a lecherous thief from the Western Regions who committed numerous evils. He was eventually captured and subjected to the torture of being skinned and having his tendons pulled out before he died.

But his resentment lingered after his death, turning him into a vengeful ghost that wreaked havoc on the world and caused many deaths.

Later, he was pursued and killed by a high-ranking monk from the Western Regions, and then disappeared without a trace.

But no one expected that he would escape to this place through some miraculous circumstances, and even attempt to possess another's body and be reincarnated.

&34; The second wife of the Zheng family, unaware of the reason, was possessed by this evil spirit and became pregnant with a demonic child.

This demonic fetus was extremely malevolent; it not only killed the second young master but also caused the second wife to lose her life.

Left with no other option, the Zheng family searched far and wide for someone with the ability to help them, and eventually found me.

At that time, taking advantage of the fact that the hungry ghost was trapped inside the demonic womb and its strength was greatly reduced, I sealed it away.

The plan was to offer sacrifices for 12 years to completely weaken the evil spirit and prevent future trouble.

&34; But who would have thought that an accident happened a few days ago, the seal was broken, and now that evil spirit has escaped, causing chaos in the Zheng family.

The old lady came to me for help, and I couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

Senior brother, this Devouring Spirit King is extremely ferocious. I thought that its strength would be weakened after being sealed for many years.

Unexpectedly, it not only fully recovered, but became even stronger than before.

My junior brother's energy is now depleted, so he's probably no match for him.

So, having no other choice, I had to ask my senior brother for help.

I heard that my senior apprentice successfully resolved the issue with the new district police station a few days ago; he must be quite capable. Could we ask him for help?

Actually, after receiving the plea for help from the old lady of the Zheng family a couple of days ago, Master Jin originally planned to take a gamble and do it himself.

He was already proficient in various magic arrays and planned to take advantage of the Devouring Demon King's weakness by setting up an altar to lure the Devouring Demon King there, and then, with the help of Eagle Blood, find an opportunity to capture it.

But for some reason, he has been feeling uneasy these past two days, as if a great disaster is about to befall him.

This made him very uneasy. Since a cultivator's intuition is very accurate, he decided to seek help from his senior brother to be on the safe side.

He knew in his heart that with his current strength, it would be far too much of a stretch to deal with the Devouring Spirit King alone.

If a mistake is made at a crucial moment, not only will the ghost problem not be solved, but one may also fall into an abyss of no return.

In the past, Master Jin would never have bothered the abbot, since he knew that his senior brother had been seriously injured while dealing with the vengeful ghost in the haunted house on the high street.

It's estimated that his time is almost up, and the other people at Wong Tai Sin Temple are not very capable and can't help him at all.

But in the past two days, he heard that his senior brother had recently resolved the problem of the vengeful ghost in the haunted house on High Street.

Even his own apprentice successfully eliminated the hidden dangers in the new district police station, and the senior abbot's injuries also seemed to have healed.

More importantly, when he secretly investigated just now, he vaguely sensed that the abbot's aura was different from before, and his strength had surpassed that of the past.

This put Master Jin at ease, allowing him to ask his senior brother for help.

"I see, junior brother. Please wait a moment, I'll go and call Afa and the others over."

After listening to Master Jin's words, the abbot nodded solemnly and then instructed Li Fude to go to the backyard to call Zhong Fabai and Lei over.

The backyard of Wong Tai Sin Temple is filled with extraordinary spiritual energy due to the spiritual energy gathering array. To prevent outsiders from accidentally entering and causing unnecessary trouble, ordinary people are not allowed to enter at will.

After all, once outsiders perceive the special spiritual energy of this place, it will inevitably attract covetousness, and at that time, Wong Tai Sin Temple will likely become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the backyard will not be open to people who are not members of this ancestral hall.

However, just as Li Fude was about to turn around and leave, he saw Li Haotian slowly walking over with Zhong Fabai and Lei.

"Senior Abbot, I heard everything you said. This must be Master Jin. And what about that Spirit-Eating Demon King? How strong is he? Tell me."

Li Haotian looked at Master Jin and said calmly.

He was resting just now, and while he was giving Zhong Fabai and Leon some pointers on their cultivation, he saw the abbot and Master Li go to the front yard.

He guessed that the abbot might have something important to attend to, so he used his life force to sense the surrounding situation, which is how he heard the conversation between Master Jin and the abbot.

As Li Haotian heard more and more, he felt that Master Jin looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

After listening to Master Jin's detailed description, a sudden inspiration flashed in Li Haotian's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Master Jin was saying was very similar to the plot of a movie he had seen before called "The Demon Child".

The movie's plot is roughly about the second wife of the Zheng family taking home a vase possessed by the Spirit-Eating Demon King.

This caused the second young master to become possessed by an evil spirit, unleashing his bestial nature. He even jumped out of the window and died, while the young master himself died from falling down the stairs.
