On the way back, the villagers were still chatting about Lu Yuan.
"Dad, who is this Master Lu?"
"At the very least, he is an authentic descendant of a well-known family." The old village chief smacked his lips and said, "If I take a guess, he might be a member of the Lu family."
The strongest beast master that village chief Liu Chunjiu heard about was a heavenly master named Zhang. He had a six-star divine beast named Fuxiao Beast, which could control the wind and rain. He was best at talisman and thunder magic and had a great reputation.
Six stars are the top, and looking further down are five-star beast masters from various aristocratic families and major sects, which are also extremely rare.
Therefore, five-star beast masters are rare, let alone such a young master.
He didn't see the scene of Lu Yuan suppressing evil with his own eyes. He thought that Lu Yuan was too young and probably hadn't reached the five-star level yet. He might have only half stepped into the five-star level.
anyway.
What is Master Lu doing in this small mountain village?
The resources near the village are exhausted, with no spiritual veins or rare elixir fields.
When the village chief thought about this, his rationality returned and he felt strange.
I forgot to ask Lu Yuan why he came here. I have to find out more when the banquet is held tomorrow.
It's best if you can help.
Speaking of which, the New Year is approaching, and so is the disaster of the Nian Beast.
If Master Lu can be left to celebrate the New Year together in the village, this year's situation will be much better.
After thinking about it, the group of them returned to the door of the ancestral temple, holding the incense burner with the ashes of their ancestors.
In the courtyard of the ancestral temple, there is an old tree with luxuriant branches and leaves that have grown beyond the courtyard wall, and its opened crown completely covers the ancestral temple.
I don’t know what kind of tree it is. The tree is covered with black branches. Each root stretches down and grows into the shape of a tree root. It burrows into the ground and pokes out roots from various cracks in bricks and walls. It Its presence covers almost every corner of the entire ancestral temple.
The village chief vaguely remembered that there was no such tree before, so it was strange that the ancestral temple was almost completely rounded now.
It stands to reason that this tree has grown so exaggeratedly that it covers the sky above the ancestral temple, so someone should be sent to prune it.
But he asked his ancestors for instructions, but the ancestors refused, so he had no choice but to let it go.
Village chief Liu Chunjiu handed the ashes incense burner to his son and warned:
"This time, it's up to you to invite your ancestors home. Be gentle. Remember what I taught you before."
A surprised expression flashed across Liu Mian's face. He didn't expect that it would be his turn to invite his ancestors back to the ancestral temple.
In the past, it was my father who did all the work.
Could it be that?
As soon as Liu Mian looked at his old father's old face, he realized that his hair was much whiter, which showed that the ancestral family skills were being consumed unusually.
"Dad, can I ask my brother to invite me?" Liu Mianyi hesitated.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Please do it if I ask you to, and hurry up!"
The old village chief was angry, blushed, and almost wanted to make a move.
If this wasn't an ancestral temple, a slap in the face would definitely be necessary.
Liu Mianyi is the eldest son of the village chief. He is thirty-two years old and married.
In the past few years, his wife had not been able to conceive a son. Later, the village chief begged his grandfather and grandma, and finally asked his ancestors for blessings. The next year, he immediately gave birth to several fat boys, which can be said to be a model of prosperity in the village.
In terms of love and etiquette, Liu Mianyi should be allowed to thank his ancestors and personally invite them to go home.
As soon as Liu Mian invited more people, the relationship with his ancestors became familiar.
Only when his son secures his position can Liu Chunjiu abdicate safely.
As for the younger son Liu Mian'er, he was suffering from heart disease. He was out of shape all day long and urinated and defecated everywhere.
Liu Chunjiu once asked his ancestors to bless his youngest son. Unexpectedly, his youngest son became even crazier. He talked crazily when he saw people, and he could only stay locked at home.
The youngest son didn't even want to see his ancestors, how could he be allowed to show his face in front of them again.
Therefore, the successor can only be Liu Mianyi and not anyone else.
Liu Mianyi was very unhappy. If he invited his ancestors once, he would lose one year of his life.
However, due to his father's repeated urging and the looks from relatives behind him, he had to bite the bullet and take the ashes incense burner. According to the clan etiquette taught by his father, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, burned incense and bowed, and invited his ancestors to come home.
Boom, boom, boom.
The candlelight flickered, the green smoke of the three incense sticks swirled slightly, and the transparent figure passed through everyone.
Some people laughed, some cursed, and some people patted Liu Mianyi's shoulder, which made Liu Mianyi tremble all over and her body became inexplicably weak.
The dozens of tablets on the table shook for a few seconds, as if they recognized Liu Mianyi, and the surrounding illusions and sounds slowly stopped.
Liu Chunjiu watched Liu Mianyi finish the whole set of actions, put the incense burner back in front of the ancestor's tablet, and poured tea and wine respectfully. He felt relieved when he saw that the ancestors had no objection.
As soon as Liu Mian completed the entire ritual, he was sweating profusely and felt as if his body had been hollowed out. This was twice as empty as he felt after having sex in an expert house.
Looking at those ancestral tablets, he felt even more disgusted, thinking that his mother-in-law would make a bad face when he went back.
Oh, I get a headache just thinking about it.
…
Lu Yuan rode Dabai and wandered aimlessly in the village.
When Baymax activates his stealth skill, he can ride on it and become invisible along with him, so he doesn't have to worry about alerting others.
The sound of Dabai's footsteps was also very light. Apart from leaving a series of footprints on the snow, it would not have much impact. When the wind blew in the evening, the footprints would disappear.
He stopped and walked, admiring the layout of the buildings in the village. He heard the noise of eating, drinking and having fun, and there were children playing on the road.
This was completely different from the atmosphere he saw when he first entered the village.
Before, the whole village was dead silent, with a strange red light and no sign of life, as if there was a big evil spirit present.
Now laughter and singing resound throughout the village, living people can be seen everywhere, and joy and warmth can be felt wherever you go, which shows that the village is still full of vitality.
It seemed so weird before, it was all caused by evil spirits entering the village.
Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated by him, the village has naturally returned to normal.
Thinking of this, he felt relaxed.
Hearing the villagers talking about themselves, Lu Yuan stopped and listened for a while.
Things like chicken, duck, and fish are all unnutritious gift-giving topics.
It's just that the hostess thinks it's too wasteful, and Lu Yuan will leave the village soon.
The male host thought it was a matter of face. His family could live without meat, but they could not lose face, so the old couple started to quarrel.
Lu Yuan is not interested in this and does not want them to give gifts.
Lu Yuan is not from this world. When he wakes up from his dream, he can eat whatever he wants in reality.
Speaking of which, would eating tonic food in a dream be helpful for spiritual practice?
"Dabai, you just ate an evil spirit, how do you feel now?" Lu Yuan asked.
In reality, there are not many evil spirits left. In areas where humans live, the old evil spirits have basically been hunted down by the beast masters. Only the ignorant and fearless new evil spirits dare to show their faces on the streets.
In the eyes of beast masters, evil spirit is a great tonic for certain kinds of pet beasts.
As long as something is edible and can provide a lot of supplements, it is often fought over by others.
If it weren't for the fact that the birth process of evil spirits violates the principles of human relations and heaven, the beast masters would all want to open an evil evil spirits cultivation factory.
Therefore, evil spirits are a rare and great tonic in modern times, and they are often expensive but not marketable.
Nian beast likes to eat big meat, swallows the essence of heaven and earth to practice, has infinite strength, agile body, is not afraid of evil things, is naturally afraid of fire, afraid of noise, and hates the color red.
Based on the advantages and specialties of the Nian Beast, modern beast masters have developed the classic "One Punch Super Beast Style", the "Evil Buster Style" with countless iterations, and the "Giant Transformation Style" that has suddenly emerged in recent years. growth route.
In addition to these three types, there are countless ways to cultivate Nian beasts.
However, with the baptism of time and the involution of the Nian Beast War competitions one after another, the remaining evolutionary routes were slowly eliminated.
In the last Nian Beast War, most of the contestants only practiced the "One Punch Super Beast Style" and "Giant Transformation Style". These two are T0 level combat capabilities in the Nian Beast Civil War. The nemesis can only move back to T1.
The Evil Object Buster Stream is a classic cultivation route, specifically designed to defeat evil spirits. It has been iterated for a thousand years, optimizing the cultivation cost for all stars. Not only is it not afraid of evil things, but it can also digest evil spirits as its own nutrients, and it contains evil-suppressing talismans. , so one-third of the Nian beast masters in the world still choose to take this route.
Lu Yuan's family is not very rich and cannot afford to cultivate the particularly expensive One-Punch Beast Style and Giant Transformation Style, so he can only cultivate the more classic Evil Object Buster Style with a smooth growth curve.
The comprehensive cultivation cost of Evil Object Buster Flow has dropped by more than a hundred times compared to a thousand years ago.
From one star to seven stars, there are noble ways to raise people, and poor people have poor ways to raise them.
The most expensive method of cultivation is to eat an unlimited amount of evil spirits and upgrade the talismans, which can achieve rapid growth. It can be upgraded to three stars in one year, five stars in three years, and six stars in five years.
Even if there are no evil spirits to feed you, you can also rely on the Evil Suppression Talisman to cultivate your mind and nourish your soul. It will grow slowly every day, rising to two stars in five years, three stars in the twelfth year, and four stars in the 25th year.
It can be said that the cultivation cost of this evolutionary route is dynamically floating, and you can accelerate it if you invest.
It can grow without investment, but much more slowly, not to zero.
Unlike some money-burning cultivation routes, if you don’t invest, you won’t grow a little.
"Ouch!"
After Dabai's luck was over, he opened his eyes and looked happy.
Its tail shook like a propeller and it made a cheerful sound.
The evil-suppressing talisman has grown by nearly 10%!
