Merchant of the Underworld

After dark, the two elders woke up faintly. I took advantage of Yin Xinyue to take a bath and took the time to ask them what happened last night?

My mother-in-law, who had a grimace on her face, trembled subconsciously when I asked this question. Finally, she pointed at my father-in-law and said with red eyes, "Let's ask our old man!"

"A monster came into the room last night in the middle of the night. It looked similar to a cow, but it had scales on its body and a lot of little legs. It looked completely different."

Before I could open my mouth, my father-in-law spoke slowly. Even though he spoke very slowly, it still sounded like there was a serious vibrato.

Not to mention him, even my heart skipped a beat after hearing the description!

The father-in-law paused for a moment, and then continued after he was in a better condition: "It was very cold, as if it were a piece of ice. Your mother and I woke up from the cold yesterday, and when we woke up, we found it poking its head towards us. Your mother was so frightened that she fainted, so I took the fruit knife on the bedside to scare it, but as soon as I shouted, I lost my intuition."

At this point, his face darkened, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Jiulin, why don't you take Xinyue back with you! I'm afraid that thing will come back to haunt you."

After hearing this, I felt quite bad. I feel sorry for the parents in the world, but how could I just let it go? I immediately said that I would definitely solve that thing, and I hope the second elder has confidence in me. The father-in-law shook his head and said resolutely: "We are all old bones. If we die, we will die. Don't get yourselves involved."

At this time, Yin Xinyue happened to come in with food. After hearing these words, her face changed. She said without a doubt: "Dad, we will not leave, and Jiulin is a master of exorcism and suppressing evil spirits. We will definitely I can drive that monster away safely."

"well!"

The father-in-law sighed and wanted to say something more, but the mother-in-law quickly hit him with her hand, and then neither of them said a word. While they were eating, I went outside to get a stick and knocked down all the ice hanging on the eaves. I also grabbed the kitten in Xinyue's house and sealed its acupuncture points with magic talismans.

"Xinyue, I have to put out the charcoal fire in the room of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It may be very cold at night. Please add more quilts for them."

As I said that, I lifted the coal stove into the yard and poured cold water over it. The briquettes hissed a few times and then completely stopped. After the temperature in the second elder's bedroom cooled down, I arranged the collected ice crystals according to the formation of a thousand-faced mirror.

The so-called Thousand Faces Array is just an imaginary number. The key point is to arrange many mirrors in a specific environment according to the Qimen Dunjia Technique, and interconnect them layer by layer to achieve a maze-like effect.

Usually the Thousand Faces Array is used to determine the location and direction of Yin spirits. Of course, a powerful person can even directly use this array to destroy Yin spirits, but I am not yet at this level!

But this time the dirty thing had scales and a strong smell. No matter what it was, it definitely couldn't live without water. I used ice instead of mirrors to take advantage of this, because when the formation takes effect, the crystal clear ice has the same effect as a mirror, and it can temporarily create the illusion of an ice and snow maze due to its cold properties.

Of course, this is just a guess on my part. In fact, I don’t expect to hurt it. I am content just to see its appearance. But when activating the formation, I inevitably had to use my spiritual power. I was worried that the thing would trot away, so I placed the kitten with its hole sealed behind the door.

"Are you trying to use the kitten to delay time?"

Xinyue watched me finish all this and asked doubtfully.

I smiled and nodded. Kittens are born to be the nemesis of fishes. Although my father-in-law said that thing is different, as long as it lives in the river, it must have the attributes of a fish and it will definitely be afraid of kittens. Of course, there are certain risks in this, and I don’t rule out the possibility of it rushing towards the kitten with all its might, but now that the situation is urgent, I can no longer care so much...

After the two elders finished eating, I gave them each an amulet, mainly to resist the yin energy brought by the appearance of the yin spirit. What they were most afraid of after losing too much blood was the cold, and they could easily be injured by the yin energy.

"Don't worry, kid. We, the old couple, have been working hard for decades, and this doesn't matter."

My mother-in-law saw that both Yin Xinyue and I were under great pressure, so she forced a smile and encouraged us.

I could only laugh along. After hearing this, Yin Xinyue turned around and began to wipe her tears. I frowned and pulled her into our bedroom, and said seriously: "Xinyue, you will make the second elder feel depressed, which is not conducive to resisting the Yin Qi. , the most effective way for a living person to deal with Yin Qi is to have a firm belief, you know?"

Why are many people not afraid of death, but afraid of being tortured? In the final analysis, it is a matter of belief. If the belief is strong enough, it will be invulnerable to all poisons. However, there are too few such people in real life.

After Yin Xinyue understood what I meant, she wiped away her tears, forced a smile and went out to talk to her parents.

I looked at the furnishings in the room, made some arrangements in the corners of the doors and windows according to Feng Shui, and placed the Emei thorns next to Yin Xinyue's pillow, and I felt a little more at ease.

As the night got darker and darker, the air outside became colder and colder, and the windows of our bedroom were covered with ice flowers. I checked the time and felt it was almost time, so I went out to let the second elder sleep, and then pulled Yin Xinyue back to the room.

She would definitely not be able to sleep in this situation, so I simply handed the Emei Ci to her and asked her to pay attention to her safety, and then walked out. Yin Xinyue hugged me from behind and said softly: "Hubby, you must work hard."

"Little fool!"

I scratched her nose instead, then gritted my teeth and climbed up to the roof.

The ladder to the house in Yin Xinyue's house was welded by herself with an iron frame. The outside was painted with a layer of red paint. It may not have been polished, so it looked uneven. Every time I went up a step, I felt like my fingers were about to freeze. It was easy to climb up to the roof, but my feet slipped and I almost fell off the roof. My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly squatted down to steady my center of gravity. Only then did I realize that there was a thick layer of ice on the roof. I tried to touch it with my hands and found that the ice was two or three centimeters thick. The entire roof was covered with ice. It's like a frozen lake.

I was stunned for a moment, and looked at the roofs of the surrounding neighbors, and found that their roofs were all clean!

But the father-in-law and mother-in-law seem to be very hard-working people. How could they not even bother to clean up the snow?

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized a problem: I have been observing the movement outside the door and window these days, but I did not think about the roof. In addition, Yin Xinyue and I were outside the door when the thing wrote the word 'death' in the room. It undoubtedly climbed in from the roof and down the chimney.

I hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the chimney and smelled it carefully, and sure enough I caught a hint of fishy smell.

It seems that the problem lies in the roof!

Originally, I wanted to come up to observe, but I didn't expect to make a major discovery accidentally. Since that thing appeared from here every time, in order not to be discovered by it, I simply hid on the other side of the chimney.

After waiting for a long time, the thing still didn't appear, but my body was about to freeze. Seeing that the coldest hour of the day had passed, I thought that the thing might not come, so I was ready to go down and rest.

But at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew on the roof, and I suddenly became nervous. I quietly held the staff of the Holy Mother in my hand, and hurriedly put a sunshade charm on myself.

Sure enough, as the cold wind dissipated, a shadow slowly appeared next to the chimney. The shadow was very blurry at first, but gradually became clear after landing. I finally saw the true form of that thing, but I was disgusted!

Its overall body shape is like a calf, but if you look closely, you will find that its belly is covered with centipede-like legs, and its back is covered with faintly glowing scales. The most surprising thing is that its two thighs look like It was a dragon claw, shining with dazzling golden light.

"What the hell is this...?"

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, staring at it motionlessly. It looked around cautiously, then turned into a shadow and crawled down the chimney.

I was so angry when I saw this scene that when I followed him a few days ago, it didn't just not come, but it scared away again when it saw me.

Guessing that time was almost up, I pulled a piece of ice from the eaves and put it in my hand, then bit the tip of my tongue and let the blood drip on the ice. Before it melted, I quickly chanted a spell and threw the blood-stained ice cube into the air.

The ice cubes did not stop after reaching the highest point, but were suspended there. The transparent ice cubes gradually became turbid and were stained red with blood in the blink of an eye. Then there was a snap, and the ice broke into countless small pieces, and they rushed into the house along the crack in the door!

At this time, I vaguely heard the screams of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. My heart felt like I was being stabbed. I clenched my fists and continued to recite the spell.

Soon, the dark room lit up, shining like daylight under the countless icicles, and then a strange scream came from the room.

Only then did I realize that I had been so nervous that I didn’t let the kitten out. Fortunately, the Thousand Faces Array had worked!

Since that thing was easier to deal with than I thought, I suddenly jumped off the roof, rolled on the ground, kicked open the door and rushed into the bedroom of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. At a glance, I saw the monster was in pain. Rushing back and forth among the ice blocks, I saw that the movement was getting slower and slower.

It seems that the coldness of the ice has had its effect, but I am very puzzled that since it is afraid of ice, why did it make such a big ice pimple on the roof?

I couldn't figure out the reason in a short period of time, and I was afraid that it would break through the formation and escape, so I simply stabbed it in the head with the Madonna's Staff from a distance.

This is a move taught to me by Senior Rat. Throwing the Madonna Staff driven by powerful thoughts can make it explode with huge lethality in an instant!

Although this method can only be used once in a fight, I am confident that it can be fatal in such a short distance!
