I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chapter 83 The Fragrance Fades

"Have you noticed anything?" Chen Mo asked Zhao Tianyi and Xiao Jing in his mind.

"No,"

For the rest of the time, Chen Mo remained vigilant, mostly watching the incense and occasionally using his spiritual eyes to quickly scan the entire courtyard and the entrance to the main hall.

Around 3 a.m. is the time of day when yin energy is at its strongest.

The three incense sticks in the incense burner were burning much faster. What would normally burn for twelve hours was now burning for only ten hours, and they were about to burn down to the base.

To make matters worse, the wind started to pick up in the yard.

The night wind swirled and blew, carrying a biting chill, bending the wild grass and causing the smoke from the incense burner to flicker violently, the sparks dancing uncertainly.

"Brother! The incense is going out!" Chen Xing was anxious. He saw that the flames of the three incense sticks were getting weaker and weaker in the wind, and the incense protection was no longer useful.

Chen Mo immediately took out a folded thick cloth from his backpack and quickly unfolded it.

It turned out to be a simple windshield.

He carefully placed the windshield above the incense burner, leaving only a small gap for ventilation.

With the wind largely blocked, the smoke from the incense burner rose straight up again, but the light from the incense sticks was still very weak and could go out at any moment.

The incense is almost burned out; we need to relight it.

Without saying a word, Chen Mo immediately took out three more sticks of calming incense from his backpack.

Just as he was about to light the new incense, the half-closed door of the main hall suddenly creaked open with a loud gust of wind, leaving a large gap!

A stronger gust of cold wind howled out from the crack in the door, carrying a musty smell, and blew directly toward the incense burner!

Clang!

The makeshift windshield that Chen Mo had set up was blown over by the evil wind and rolled to the ground.

Inside the incense burner, the three sticks of incense, which were already on the verge of burning, flickered a few times.

Just as Chen Xing reached out to protect the incense, the last bit of red light went out completely.

Three wisps of smoke, then it's gone!

【! ! ! 】

The incense has gone out!

【It's all over!】

Is something bad about to happen?!

There was definitely something wrong with that gust of wind!

This scene caused a surge in the number of comments.

The courtyard outside the door fell into an eerie silence, even the chirping of insects disappeared.

Chen Xing immediately became highly alert, leaning against Chen Mo and looking around.

After the initial shock, he recovered.

Chen Mo remained calm, but his movements did not falter in the slightest. He quickly brought the three new incense sticks to the lighter's nozzle and lit them.

After the incense was lit, the smoke seemed to be attracted by something, swirling and drifting towards the open door of the ancestral hall.

At the same time, a sobbing sound came from the direction of the dry well.

I don't know if it was because there were many people or because the courtyard was too spacious, but the noise seemed a bit chaotic.

Chen Mo gripped the long knife in his hand and steadily inserted the three newly lit incense sticks into the incense burner.

He faced the direction of the main hall, took a step forward, and shielded Chen Xing behind him.

Inside the incense burner, the flames of the new incense burned stubbornly in the cold wind, and the wisps of smoke continued to drift uncontrollably outwards.

The soft sobbing grew closer and closer...

"Brother!" Chen Xing panicked and grabbed Chen Mo's arm tightly.

Chen Mo's eyes were sharp as knives. He didn't turn around to look at his younger brother; his gaze was fixed on the doorway.

"Should I help you?" Xiao Jing asked.

"No need. Xiao Jing, don't show yourself. Tianyi, just keep an eye on the incense for me," Chen Mo replied in his mind, then turned to Chen Xing and said, "Stay inside and don't go out."

His left hand still held the scabbard firmly, but his right hand quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out his personal cell phone.

The screen lights up, and the app pops up automatically.

He focused his mind and quickly opened the online store interface.

[Evil-Dispelling Talisman (One-Time Use) - 100 Spirit Coins]

Exchange quantity: 3.

The balance of spirit money instantly decreased by 300, becoming 3100.

After completing the exchange, he put his phone in his pocket and then took out three yellow talismans with cinnabar on them. They appeared out of thin air and he held them in his left hand.

The talisman was slightly warm to the touch, with intricate patterns outlined in bright red cinnabar, containing an explosive energy.

Why is Brother Mo taking out his phone?

【Seriously? You already know all this, why are you still playing on your phone?】

Wait, what did Brother Mo pull out this time?

Is it a talisman? It should be yellow paper?

The viewers in the live stream saw Chen Mo's actions, but no one knew the origin of the talisman, not even Chen Xing, who simply assumed he had taken it out of his pocket.

The sobbing grew closer, and outside the wooden door that had been blown open, the dense darkness seemed to writhe like a living thing.

A distorted shadow, entangled with countless gray-black resentments, slowly squeezed out from the crack in the door.

It has no fixed shape, like a billowing cloud of smoke, with several blurry, pained human faces emerging on its surface, emitting silent wails.

Chen Xing's eyes widened immediately, but remembering that Chen Mo was right beside him, he remained silent.

He doesn't have to help, but he can't cause trouble.

As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the yard plummeted, and even the air became stagnant.

The target of this thing is very clear: the three newly lit incense sticks for calming the soul in the incense burner!

It howled, carrying a chilling wind, and hurtled straight at the incense burner!

Chen Mo raised his right hand, and a talisman that warded off evil spirits shot out like an arrow, with a faint whooshing sound, precisely towards the mass of resentment that was rushing towards him!

The talisman burst forth with dazzling golden light the moment it came into contact with the resentment!

"boom!"

It was like boiling oil poured onto snow, or like a thunderclap.

Wherever the golden light passed, the twisted resentment emitted a shrill and ear-piercing shriek. The smoke-like body was quickly purified and dissolved by the golden light, and the painful faces on its surface distorted and dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, the seemingly ferocious aggregate of resentment completely disintegrated in the golden light, turning into wisps of green smoke and vanishing without a trace.

The eerie wind that had been raging in the courtyard then ceased.

Chen Xing stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, forgetting his fear and only filled with awe.

Because this part involves spirituality, ordinary people in the live stream cannot see the details. They can only see Chen Mo throw a talisman forward, which suddenly explodes and turns to ashes.

[Holy crap, an explosive tag!]

【Xiao Nan, is that you, Xiao Nan?】

[Brother Mo is doing acrobatics! He deserves a treat!]

Is this a prop? Or is it an act?

Judging from Xingdi's expression, it seems to be true... Xingdi is still very innocent!

Chen Mo's face showed no sign of relaxation. He took a few steps forward, kicked open the door, and turned his gaze to the ancient well.

In Ling Tong's vision, the black gas seeping from the wellhead not only did not weaken, but became even more concentrated, like boiling ink, carrying a strong sense of malice and hatred.

That lingering resentment was clearly just an appetizer; the real source is in the well!

Chen Xing cautiously poked his head out, not daring to leave the ancestral hall, but he also saw the strange phenomenon in the well.

"You're courting death." Chen Mo snorted coldly.

He originally only intended to stay up until dawn to complete the task.

But the thing in the well first tried to confuse Chen Xing, then blew out the incense, and now it dared to attack him, which completely ignited his anger.

Then let's just wipe them all out!

Without further hesitation, he took a step and charged towards the ancient well!

He kicked the large stone slab hard, knocking it aside and revealing a large gash.

He simultaneously activated the other two talismans in his hand with his spiritual power, transforming them into two golden streams of light that shot towards the well opening.
