Chapter 21 The Soul-Suppressing Man (please vote)

"What is this?" I widened my eyes and exclaimed.

He frowned, stared with slightly narrowed pupils, and said two words in a calm tone.

"Snake scales!"

Hearing his words, I suddenly took a breath of cold air and looked in disbelief.

I suddenly thought of the scene a few days ago when my grandma was lying in the coffin and many small black snakes came out of her coffin. I clenched my hands tightly and then loosened them, and my face turned pale.

"You just said it was someone doing something, but it was the same when grandma passed away. How come there are so many snakes in the village for no reason?" I looked at Chu Yuan in confusion, hoping he could give me an answer.

Chu Yuan is so smart, he understood the meaning as soon as I said these words.

"Are you doubting me?" He smiled sarcastically and said disdainfully: "I want to kill you, it's easier than trampling on an ant, so there's no need to waste time like this."

Chu Yuan's feelings for mortals are, at most, the mercy of gods to believers.

His words were very cold, but they made sense. Although I didn't know much about him, I believed that he really wanted to harm people, so there was no need to play this little game.

Chu Yuan ordered: "Let the villagers prepare three piles of realgar and some white candles, and then let them put snake-repelling charms on the door. Let the old man do this."

I am a junior, so no one in the village cares about me, and no one takes me seriously at all. Therefore, Chu Yuan's concerns are not unreasonable. With Zhang Xianren's seniority and reputation, the villagers will definitely listen.

I nodded and said, "When?"

"Now." Chu Yuan said simply.

"What should I do with this corpse?" I stared at the charred corpse in the yard.

Chu Yuan said bluntly: "Let the villagers carry it away."

I could hear a bit of solemnity in Chu Yuan's tone, which made me feel that something big had happened.

I didn't dare to delay, so I turned around and went into the house, got dressed, picked up the flashlight and went to see Zhang Xianren's house in the back mountain that night.

I didn't expect that Zhang Xianren didn't sleep in the room that night, but was lying on a wicker chair in the yard. When I opened the door, I jumped up in surprise. I was scared to death in the middle of the night.

Now he probably sees me as the god of plague, so I walked into the courtyard gate crying and called my sister-in-law.

"Why are you here again?"

I looked at him like a ghost. I was so scared that I almost dropped my flashlight and said tremblingly: "Something happened!"

I directly told him what happened just now, and Zhang Xianren said in a deep voice: "Those snakes should be coming to your house."

"Hey!" He wanted to say something, but hesitated, and finally sighed.

"Daozhang Zhang!" Seeing that he didn't speak, I tried to ask.

Zhang Xianren waved his hands helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "You go back first, I will go to the village to call someone, and first carry away the body of Wang Mazi's wife."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, I felt that something was wrong, so I didn't stop, turned around and hurried back.

I had just entered the village from the back mountain, and when I was passing the ancestral hall, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of it and blocked the road. I was so scared that I almost ran out of my mind.

I waved the flashlight and called him, full of surprise: "Er Bao!"

I was scared twice this night, and I was really convinced.

Erbao is a fool in the village. He is in his thirties or forties. He is as thin as a ponytail. He is wearing a black mandarin jacket in tatters and there is a squirt from the corner of his mouth.

Walking towards me with a smile, the second treasure was very weird. He waved his hand to me stupidly and said: "You can't go there, you can't go there, you can't..."

"Why not?" I asked Erbao with a dark face.

"The snake demon is following you!" Erbao looked at me with horror in his eyes, waved his hands and said, "You can't enter the village!"

According to legend, there is a fool in every village.

And they also have a nice name, called "Village Guardians", and in some places they are also called "Zhenling People".

According to records, most of these people were very evil people in their previous lives. They were enlightened by the Buddha before their death and volunteered to suffer in the next life, thereby accumulating virtue and achieving good results.

Village guards can help the village resist evil spirits and protect the soil and water.

Without them, the village would not be peaceful.

Their lives are filled with all kinds of misfortune, and their destiny also destined them to have no offspring and live alone.

Most people think that the so-called "village guardian" is just a glorification of the lazy and idle second-rate people in the village.

I used to think so too.

But now, looking at his demented appearance, I suddenly feel a little confused.

At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air, with long black hair floating in the air, a black robe falling to the ground, and a cold and cruel aura approaching.

There was another piercing snake hiss in the air. Looking at the huge snake shadow that enveloped him, Erbao turned pale with fright, huddled up and held his head, crying.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Erbao held his head in fear and shrank to the side of the road.

I looked at the man in black robe standing with his back to me, and just about to say something, the figure in the black robe turned into a black shadow and penetrated into my bracelet.

"Don't worry about him, go back first!" Chu Yuan's voice came from his ears.

I said "Yeah" in a low voice. Erbao must have seen Chu Yuan just now, or felt something unusual about me, and wanted to stop me.

The situation was urgent, Chu Yuan showed up directly and scared him away.

There are one or two hundred households in the village, and the snake repelling charms left by my grandma were simply not enough, so I could only follow the steps in the book to draw the charms.

Talisman is a collection of spells, symbols, and energy.

It is a method given by the gods to people to communicate with the gods, and to participate in the essence of the spiritual energy of all things in the world. It requires the sacrifice of one's own vitality to convert the energy into the talisman orifice.

Just like a human being reincarnated, the body is formed and the soul is the key.

The spell condenses the special energy in nature. The caster's own anger plus the help of hidden energy, its effect and power are huge.

This talisman can also be divided into high and low levels. The paper talisman is considered the lowest type, so the snake repelling talisman is considered the entry-level.

But even so, I just entered Novice Village and after drawing twenty or thirty pictures in one go, I felt exhausted. To put it bluntly, it was draining my energy and energy.

After painting too much, I felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, double vision, and felt so uncomfortable that I felt like vomiting and fainting.

I almost couldn't take a breath, so I lay on the bed in a daze, and then fell unconscious.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when I woke up. Thinking of Chu Yuan's warning, I quickly rummaged through the cabinets to find realgar powder and sprinkled it in a circle along the eaves of the hall.

I also posted two snake charms on the door. When my aunt saw it, she asked me in confusion why I sprinkled realgar powder on it. I didn’t know how to explain it, so I lied and said there were too many bed bugs in the house.

After finishing, he drew some snake talismans and gave them to Zhang Xianren to distribute to the villagers.

After dinner, I washed the dishes and came out of the stove. I saw my aunt holding a piece of wood and hitting something in the dark yard.

I asked in confusion: "Auntie, what are you doing?"

My aunt said a little anxiously: "I don't know where a snake came from in the yard."

I was stunned and walked up to see that my aunt had beaten a flat-headed snake to death and was holding it with tongs to throw out.

He opened the courtyard door and as soon as he stepped out, he was so frightened that he jumped back.

"Yao Yao!" My aunt screamed in fright.
