After cleaning up the room, the old man and his granddaughter made a fire and cooked food outside. At this time, Nian Beast Dabai appeared in the house, lying on the ground and sticking out his tongue.
The old man was secretly glad that the stove was built outside, otherwise he would have died in pain if he and the Nian beast were making fire inside.
While burning firewood and using thick smoke to open the chimney, he observed the conditions of several nearby houses.
Red lanterns were hung in every house, and donkey shadow puppets were placed inside the house, except for his house. They also lit fires to make food outside.
From an outsider's perspective, his family is at risk of being targeted by evil spirits.
However, my family members know their own affairs.
At that time in the morning, he had not heard of any evil spirits invading.
Now that it has become like this, the villagers must have discovered the strange situation at the entrance of the village, and mobilized urgently in a short period of time, summoning the whole village back to the ancestral temple to get bamboo swords, summoning the firecracker beast, and preparing to fight the Nian beast.
The old man carefully listened to the movements in the house, reached out and nudged the granddaughter beside him, pointed to her in the right direction, and pouted, telling her to leave quickly.
On the left is the direction of the ancestral temple.
The right side is the opposite direction.
When beastmasters fight, mortals suffer.
People without combat capabilities must stay away from the center of the battle to avoid being affected.
He pushed the child twice, but he couldn't move it.
"You kid, why are you so stubborn? Just go and play. I don't need your help to light the fire now."
The old man was anxious and whispered in her ear.
"No, grandpa, look over there, there is a person..."
"What happened to someone..."
The old man had been staring at the door on the left and didn't notice the situation on the child's side.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew. He turned to look to the right and found a little boy standing there, waving to them and smiling.
It was a twelve-year-old boy, wearing an inappropriate short-sleeved linen coat, revealing a round belly, as if he had eaten a lot.
His eyes were round and his face was rosy. Seeing that both his grandfather and grandson had discovered him, he shouted happily:
"Jiang Xue came out to play together. Why did I tell everyone not to go out? Does everyone hate me?"
The child said in a childlike tone.
This is the kid next door. His nickname is Da Zhuang, but his relationship with Jiang Xue is not good.
Because Da Zhuang liked to bully her, Jiang Xue complained to him many times, and the relationship between the two was very bad. Uncle Jiang knew this.
Seeing Da Zhuang take the initiative to invite Jiang Xue to play out, it was still in this special period. Everyone in the village had gone to the ancestral temple, so why did they say "not going out".
Obviously, something is wrong with Da Zhuang!
The old man immediately became alert, I am afraid this is evil!
He placed his palm on his granddaughter's arm to prevent her from being confused.
Look carefully at the corners of the boy's mouth, there are red stains that have not been wiped clean.
It was most likely human blood, and I don't know which unlucky family had suffered.
"Don't talk to him, let's go back to the house quickly."
The old man said quickly, without hesitation, and immediately pulled his granddaughter into the house, while looking back warily.
The little boy was unhappy and shouted from behind: "Don't go, wait for me!"
As he spoke, he ran quickly to catch up.
Those short legs looked unpleasant, but when the two were about to enter the house, the boy unexpectedly stood in the middle of the door, blocking the space for the two to enter the house.
The grandfather and grandson were so frightened that they stopped quickly, sweating on their heads.
He wanted to retreat and escape, but the child blew a breath, and their legs seemed to be frozen by the cold air, stuck in the snow, and they could not pull their feet out.
"Grandpa Jiang, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat? Why don't you leave it all to me?"
Da Zhuang grinned exaggeratedly, smiled happily, and let out an innocent laugh.
In this night with twin moons in the sky and active Yin Qi, his eyes were dim and without focus.
Moreover, this laughter sounded not good at all to the ears of the grandfather and grandson, it was too permeating.
Even though his stomach was full and round, he still wanted to continue eating. Doesn't this mean he would eat two people?
Faced with evil spirits, the villagers did not have many good options but to ask their ancestors for blessings.
His pet red firecracker is a fire-attribute pet, cultivated from local soil paper and fire core powder. It does not have the yang energy of flesh and blood and cannot dispel powerful evil spirits.
The old man was desperate.
It seems that they can only stop here in this life.
The old man protected his granddaughter behind him, summoned the firecracker beast, and prepared to die together.
Perhaps because Da Zhuang's laughter was too wild, there was also a sound of light footsteps in the house.
Da Zhuang let out a sigh, wondering why there were other people in the room.
When he came over just now, he only felt the yang energy of his grandfather and grandson, but did not sense the atmosphere in the house.
Da Zhuang turned to look behind him, only to see a pair of red eyes lighting up in the darkness.
The animal's palm as big as a casserole came down involuntarily and slapped Da Zhuang's face, instantly imprisoning his limbs.
"Where did you come from, little brat?"
Lu Yuan walked to the door and glanced at the boy.
Nian Beast Dabai immediately snorted, and the black horn on his head bloomed with a bright evil-suppressing light.
The flowing cloud pattern on the body twisted into the shape of the mighty Tianlong evil-suppressing talisman, quickly swam under the beast's claws, and pressed it on the evil evil facade.
The grandfather and grandson only felt a white light sweep before their eyes, and an unknown and indescribable feeling of relief emerged in their hearts, as if all the evil spirits in their bodies had been shaken away, and their feet were in control again.
Looking at the child again, he fell to the ground softly, closing his eyes in pain, as if he was having a nightmare.
Above the boy's head, a wisp of thick black mist flew out. In the black mist, there was a sinister face. He wanted to fly away, but was stuck by the golden evil-suppressing talisman.
This made him lose all his strength, and he couldn't help but look frightened.
Nian Beast Dabai opened his mouth and sucked in the black mist, then swallowed it in two gulps.
"belch--"
Dabai burped and shook his big black tail, satisfied with the taste of this little dessert.
Lu Yuan looked at Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang was stunned. He never thought that the Nian beast could really suppress evil. This was really outrageous.
Seeing Lu Yuan looking over, he didn't know that it was Lu Yuan who saved them. He immediately pulled his granddaughter to his knees, tears of gratitude, and worshiped again and again.
"Thank you for saving me, sir!"
Uncle Jiang didn't believe in Lu Yuan before because he had deep hatred for the Nian beast and didn't believe that the Nian beast could be subdued by humans. He subconsciously thought that Lu Yuan was a monster and acted in partnership with the Nian beast to trick him into becoming a beast master.
Seeing Lu Yuan's imperial concubine Nian Beast using his upright evil-suppressing techniques, all the distracting thoughts in his heart were swept away. Only emotions such as shame, admiration, and fear were left, and there was no doubt anymore.
Such a method of suppressing evil that is full of awe-inspiring righteousness is not found in the village, not even in the town next door.
The evil-suppressing talisman used by Lu Yuan has pure meaning and is extremely strong. Seeing the talisman is like seeing the nemesis of all evils. It is definitely an authentic evil-suppressing magic from a famous family!
The most surprising thing is the Nian beast. The Nian beast is the enemy of the human race. It comes to eat people every year. I have never heard of any expert taming it.
If there is, he must be a descendant of a wealthy family. He has never made any announcement about it. He only came out to practice and was met by him until now.
It can be seen that Lu Yuan has a great background and should not be provoked.
He couldn't make any more mistakes, he had to perform well and try to get Lu Yuan to forgive him.
