Zhou Bai can't control how many people from other worlds this meteor shower brings, as long as you don't fall into his trap.
But unexpectedly, a meteor struck directly near the Zhou family.
There were no meteorites, not even any trace of being hit by anything falling from the sky.
"That's right. The goal of the first wave of invasion is definitely not to fight. It should be the invasion of demons. Taking root and integrating into this world is the way to go."
"The negative impact that the red moon brings to ordinary people is to protect the strange behavior of demons from other worlds after being parasitized. Is this considered foolproof?"
With just a few thoughts, Zhou Bai recalled various methods of invasion from other worlds. These were all verified and experienced in the memories of his previous life.
And after a lot of sacrifices and verification by numerous experimental data, Heaven also announced the relevant situation afterwards.
At this time, Zhou Bai realized that the family's formation light screen had lit up, so he no longer hesitated and ordered the guards in the yard to disperse and notify everyone to gather at the ancestral hall.
The influence of the red moon cannot be allowed to continue to spread, nor can the demon that descended near the clan survive the first night safely.
The first night is when the demon is most vulnerable, and there are often many ways to identify it at this time.
Accompanied by the urgent sound of the gong, the tribesmen who had been ordered to stay in the house nervously opened the door. Why did the order change from morning to night, and they were asked to gather in front of the ancestral hall.
It's just that tonight's celestial phenomenon is too weird, and they can only choose to believe in Zhou Bai, the patriarch. After all, he led the family through last year's cold winter.
"His uncle, you can come out now. Please help my son."
"The Sanbao family is going crazy, and everyone's eyes are turning red when they look at him."
"Is this a rabid dog? Why do you bite and fight when you see people?"
"This is a case of hysteria. I can only ask the immortal master for help."
"Isn't Miss Jun an immortal? Quickly hold him down and carry him to the ancestral hall."
Under the protection of his servants, Zhou Bai saw chaos everywhere. A few people lost their minds and went crazy, causing chaos in the clan.
Even though he was issuing orders very quickly, some people were still accidentally exposed to the moonlight, and even looked directly at the red moon without heeding advice.
Curiosity killed the cat, and so do people.
However, Zhou Bai was in charge of the Heavenly Book of Luck and was very sensitive to calamity. He had been alerted and prepared for the frequent natural disasters that occurred in various states and counties some time ago.
These five hundred villagers and fifty cavalrymen have never been stationed far away from the clan. The military camp and school grounds have long been moved from the manor to not far from the ancestral home, which is within the coverage of the basic defense array.
When the red moon phenomenon occurred, Zhou Bai's order was conveyed in time, and the villagers in the inner palace did not panic. Except for a few who were on duty outside and could not return in time, most people did not come into contact with the red moon.
"Zhou Yuan, immediately mobilize all villagers and clan soldiers to go to various parts of the clan. We must quickly calm down the commotion and gather all clan members to go to the clan temple."
"Work together to control the crazy people, don't treat them like enemies."
…
An hour later, the lights were brightly lit in front of the Zhou Family Temple, and the wide front lawn and streets were full of people.
Under the light of the torch, every clan member showed nervousness on their faces, but the scene was still not very peaceful.
Because more than fifty "madmen" with their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged were struggling wildly. Their bloodshot eyes and irrational moans were simply mind-numbing.
The culprit that made them look like this was the unusually red moon in the sky.
If it weren't for the gray film of light over the clan's land, the Zhou clan would never dare to step out of their rooms.
The unusual incident that happened this time left the elders of the Qunshi Hall speechless. Zhou Bai's efforts to build the magic circle was a waste of the clan's treasury.
Zhou Bai walked into the crowd, constantly comforting the women and children, and gave a very powerful answer to the current predicament: "Tribesmen, there is a calamity in the lunar calendar, but it is only for a short night. The red moon will disappear tomorrow, so everyone can rest assured."
"Chief, my son is so crazy now. Is it because of the evil brought by the red moon? Can you please ask Miss Jun to use some magic to cure him?" Someone immediately asked loudly.
"I asked everyone to gather together just to deal with this matter. This can be cured without any magic."
"Put the irrational clansman in the middle. Everyone should recite the Taoist meditation mantra after me. Everyone must recite it. Those who don't recite it please remind each other to report it."
Zhou Bai didn't delay and came up with a solution straight away.
Then he stood among the "madmen" and recited aloud a mantra from a Taoist scripture, a meditation mantra designed to soothe the spirit.
"The superior ones are non-quarrelsome, while the inferior ones are contentious. The superior virtues are not virtuous, and the inferior virtues cling to virtues... If you have a delusional mind, you will frighten the spirit. If you frighten the spirit, you will follow all things... Those who have gained enlightenment will always be peaceful. Drive away evil spirits and bind them. Charm protects life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, and the mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul has no loss..."
Zhou Bai said something, and the guard Zhuang Ding who was guarding the madmen read it loudly. With Yu Yueyun's little amplification technique, all the tribesmen heard it clearly and followed it.
The first time, it didn't seem to have any effect. The crazy tribesmen were still crazy, and they were still very destructive and aggressive.
The second time, the tribesmen who followed the reading gradually felt peaceful, and even the "crazy people" began to calm down, but they seemed to want to cover their ears and not want to be disturbed by the sound of the curse.
The third time, the loud sound echoed inside and outside the clan temple. The blood in the eyes of the "madmen" faded away. They were no longer restless, but fell asleep slowly under the comfort of the meditation spell.
All this seems very magical, but the fact is that ordinary people can only calm their minds by chanting this mantra, and it cannot have much effect on others.
Not to mention that the chaotic atmosphere brought by the red moon can directly confuse the soul and make people become manic and chaotic. Mortals cannot fully recover by chanting the Calming Mantra.
Treatment by secular means will take a long time. With a suitable environment and medicine to soothe the nerves, it may take several months or even a year.
Now these dozens of crazy tribesmen have quickly become normal. This is the result of Zhou Bai using the power of his soul to comfort them, not the so-called unity of the people.
It can only be said that the Taoist Calming Mantra recited by him and Yu Yueyun can eliminate the influence of the red moon's breath, just like the Calming Mantra once used by Zhou Bai, which was also used in the soul state at the beginning.
Of course, Zhou Bai had a purpose in asking everyone to recite the Meditation Mantra. It was not just to appease themselves, but to use the Meditation Mantra to screen out the hidden demon.
"This spell is really magical. I feel at peace and no longer afraid."
"That's right, otherwise how could they sleep peacefully? The clan leader is really awesome."
"But why don't you let us go home? Is there something unexpected?"
When everything settled, no one wanted to stay outside for a long time in the cold wind. After all, it was already midnight.
Facing everyone's doubts, Zhou Bai looked serious, led Yu Yueyun and a group of personal guards to surround an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Is it him?" Yu Yueyun asked strangely.
"Well, when he recited the meditation mantra, his mood fluctuated greatly, and his instinct was to resist this power."
This man has a dark complexion, and his long-term farming life has left deep traces of his life on his appearance. He looks like an ordinary member of the branch of the Zhou family.
"Isn't this Zhou Yang? He is a very honest man. Why are you arresting him?"
"Yes, Lao Yang wasn't crazy just now, and he didn't move around. Could it be that he offended the patriarch."
Many people didn't understand. At the same time, the middle-aged man named Lao Yang pretended to be innocent, as if he had found the wrong person.
But Zhou Bai didn't care about this. With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers to subdue Lao Yang.
"Pumbaa!"
Unexpectedly, an old farmer who was obviously honest and honest now burst out with amazing power.
Several of the bravest guards were beaten back and forth immediately, and their recklessness far surpassed theirs.
Zhou Yang spread his hands and seemed to be confused about what he had just done. However, when he saw Zhuang Ding insisting on catching him, he yelled crazily: "No, no, why do you want to catch me? What did I do wrong?"
The personal guard was caught off guard and actually let Zhou Yang rush into the crowd. Fortunately, Yu Yueyun received Zhou Bai's signal and took action decisively.
The magic talisman was played, and suddenly a trickling stream of water was drawn out in the darkness. This stream of water turned into a rope, like a flexible snake, tightly binding the rampaging Zhou Yang.
After all, he is just a mortal body. No matter how hard he struggles, he cannot escape the shackles of Taoism.
At this time, as if he felt a fatal threat, Zhou Yang's eyes rolled and turned blood red instantly.
His whole body was tense, veins popped out, and manic black blood spurted out of his body. The devil couldn't hide it anymore, he wanted to control the host to escape!
"Roar~" roared like a wild beast, immediately scaring away the surrounding tribesmen. Only then did they realize that the tribe leader did not let him go for nothing, but had already seen that Zhou Yang was a demon.
The water ropes were corroded by the gushing black energy, and then broke. In a few moments, Zhou Yang burst out with astonishing speed and rushed outside.
Zhou Bai sensed something was wrong and immediately blocked Zhou Yang's escape. At the same time, he reminded Yu Yueyun: "This is a veteran demon who has entered the Taoist realm. He cannot be saved. Yueyun, don't worry!"
Yu Yueyun reacted quickly, raised her hand and blasted out a thunderbolt from her palm. This was her rare attack talisman, and she was not reluctant at the moment.
Although she didn't know what the Heavenly Demon was, she knew what it meant to be in the Taoist realm, so how could she dare to hold back.
The scorching white lightning struck directly at Heavenly Demon Zhou Yang's back. Heavenly Demon glanced at the soldiers coming up around him, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
His shoulders shook, his arms were broken at the base, and blood sprayed out.
The arm exploded into a terrifying black mist, blocking the back and wrapping the lightning formed by the thunder in the palm.
A cruel and decisive smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face: "I don't know where this little rural Taoist priest came from. The little Taoist nun has just arrived and I can't use my magical powers. But I tried my best to give up this bad body." , what can you do to me?"
"But how can the meditation spell defeat my demon sequence? Otherwise, it would not be able to cause my mood to fluctuate and expose it. This matter must be reported to the superiors to find out whether it was an accident or if it has become widespread."
The Zhou family's magic circle was shielding the red moon with all its strength and had not opened the internal blockade. He would be able to break through immediately. At the same time, he thought that this information might be able to make a contribution at once, and Zhou Yang showed excitement on his face.
However, this excitement came to an abrupt end. Although he could get rid of Yu Yueyun, he could not get rid of Zhou Bai, a mortal on the surface.
Facing the young man's calm gaze, Zhou Yang's heart tightened. The peculiarity of the Demon Sequence made him feel the stinging pain coming from his soul.
Danger! Danger!
Zhou Bai didn't move at all, but a huge soul force emitted, completely locking Zhou Yang.
Divine consciousness? This mortal possesses divine consciousness!
"No, I am a wandering soul in the first series, and I want to be promoted to a dream demon. How can I die in the first wave!?"
"I can not be reconciled……!"
Facing the unavoidable cone of consciousness, Zhou Yang's roar suddenly stopped, and even his body's movements of quietly expanding and wanting to self-destruct were forcibly interrupted.
At this time, Yu Yueyun quickly caught up. She watched Zhou Yang suddenly die in front of Zhou Bai, but she was not surprised, as if she already knew the specialness of the people around her.
However, she still looked over Zhou Bai's body very worriedly, and found that there was no injury. Then she turned to check on Zhou Yang, who had a ferocious face.
"Slow down! This guy is a wandering soul of the Demon Sequence, it's not that simple." Zhou Bai held down Yu Yueyun who wanted to bend down to get a closer look, and stepped forward.
Perhaps because he knew that there was nothing he could do about the perverted Zhou Bai, after Yu Yueyun did not come forward to contact him, a black face appeared on Zhou Yang's body.
Only his core is left now, and the rest has been wiped out by Zhou Bai's cone of consciousness.
"It seems we made a miscalculation. The common people in your world are not simple either. Can you tell me, are there many elites like you?" The grimace said with half resentment and half helplessness.
From the moment he arrived until he was about to die, he, a dignified Sequencer, did not survive three hours.
This shame was all brought about by this young patriarch. Of course, now he is a little convinced.
"The Qingxu Realm, like our Tianyuan Realm, has Dao Ancestors in charge. Where do you have the confidence to invade us?"
"You have been plotted by me to death, but you don't know that I am just a member of the public, and I am inconspicuous in the eyes of the common people in Daxu."
What Zhou Bai said contained a huge amount of information, which made the demon a little confused. The person in front of him knew so many secrets, could it be true as he said?
Tianmo tried his best to suppress his surprise, but wanted to persuade Zhou Bai: "By joining our Qingxu, an elite like you will definitely be valued by the higher-ups, even if you are accepted as a disciple by a saint."
"Sage, you don't understand what it means, do you? That is the real immortality, the most powerful person under the Tao Ancestor."
Zhou Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are a wandering soul of the first order of demons, and you can also contact the saint?"
"you you……"
Seeing the demon pretending to be angry, Zhou Bai finally broke through his defenses: "How about, if I give you time, you won't be able to contact your companions, right? You really think that the heaven in our world is indifferent."
The black energy that condensed the demon's body shook violently, and there was no sound for a while.
Then when Zhou Bai's spiritual consciousness penetrated the black air, the demon said cruelly: "The natives of the Tianyuan world want to search for souls, they are simply wishful thinking!"
"Your Dao Ancestor has not shown up for ten thousand years, is it possible that the Dao Ancestor also has to retreat? Hahaha, you just wait to become the qualifications for promotion in our world!"
Phew.
Suddenly, a sound pierced the air, and the demon's form completely dissipated, leaving only a trace of black energy lingering around Zhou Bai's body.
The alien demon who had been saving up his strength for a long time did not launch a counterattack in the end, but chose to commit suicide.
From beginning to end, he didn't leave any substantive information, and he didn't even know his name.
At this time, the real Zhou Yang opened his eyes angrily and opened and closed his mouth: "Clan leader, I am not an alien..."
The old farmer who had been lonely and busy all his life died like this in an unthinkable disaster.
"Lord, what is this?" Zhou Yuan and his men arrived belatedly, and as soon as they arrived, they saw Zhou Yang dying.
Zhou Bai sighed, gently closed the old farmer's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "He is not a demon, he is a normal person of the Zhou clan. Find a child of the right age in the clan, offer incense to Lao Yang, and do not let him die. Heir."
In the end, only one old farmer of the Zhou clan died in this disaster. Because he was not a demon, he died silently and no one paid attention.
Before dawn, the entire tribe returned to calm, but few people could sleep.
They all understand that the world seems to have changed.
On the way back, Zhou Baimian answered Yue Yun's questions one by one.
"What does sequence mean?"
"It's the path of Qingxu Realm, but unlike us, they only have Taoist priests. Each sequence is a different cultivation system."
"Is that demon a sequence?"
"The demon should be the end of this sequence. I don't know if it is a saint or a Taoist ancestor."
"The one just now should be just the wandering soul of the first sequence, not even the dream demon, otherwise it would be difficult for you and me to deal with it."
"The catastrophe you are talking about is the catastrophe of the world..."
