ld. It is captured and refined by evil methods, to be controlled by people. It needs to be fed blood and appeased.Those who take shortcuts will use evil spirits to increase their luck, such as love, c...We turned abruptly to see a strange man, hunched over and with a raspy voice. He leaned on a black, broken wooden staff in his hand.

Isn't that the old man we just saw!

His voice and build hadn't changed much, but his face...

He looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water, damp and pale, his eyes slightly swollen.

This isn't the old man from just now!

The old man's cheekbones were covered with black age spots just now, but this pale-skinned person now looks to be only in his forties or fifties!

What's going on!

The little demon suddenly jumped up, "Clang!" I thought he was going to swing his chain and hook a soul, but who knew he quickly ducked behind me.

"Little Madam, this man... we dare not touch him!" the little demon official whispered.

Dare you move What kind of monster is this!

"Why don't you move It's not the first time someone has been forcefully detained for their soul! If there's danger to life, then we can't worry about anything else..."

"No, he, he has a pact with the underworld! I don't know the details either!" The little ghost messenger said anxiously: "My lady, you don't have to worry about this, just leave quickly—"

My brother and I were completely baffled. The man, with a voice as ancient as time, said, "Leave I waited so long for someone destined to come here, how could I let you go..."

The little ghost whispered, peeking out: "Don't mess around! This is our revered goddess, the Little Lady. If you dare touch her, you'll be reduced to ashes!"

"So what! I've waited for far too long... Finally, I've met my destined people... and two of them at that..." The old man let out a hoarse, cackling laugh.

I saw his Adam's apple bobbing in a strange way, like bones rattling under his skin.

"Two" My brother was stunned, cursing, "You even count me in You old monster have issues with your orientation! Even a guy you want!"

The old monster was taken aback and scolded: "Ignorant vermin! Talking nonsense!"

He pointed the ebony staff in his hand toward us, and a gust of cold wind suddenly swept from behind him!

The sudden surge of dark energy startled us. My brother quickly grasped his copper talisman, and with a swift motion, drew out the Celestial Sword from its sheath.

Old copper coins have the function of warding off evil and dispelling bad luck, and there is a reason for this.

Our ancestors believed that the two places on the human body with "sharp blood" were where yang energy was most abundant.

First is the blood at the apex of the heart. This is where the body's blood vessels converge, influencing the strength of one's vital energy and the attachment of their soul essence. Such blood is naturally the most precious.

The second is blood from the fingertips. Fingers are probably the most frequently used body parts besides the heart, so blood from the fingertips is also yang.

Both drawing talismans and dripping blood are done by biting your fingertips.

The shape of the copper coins represents the ancestors' understanding of the composition of the universe and their admiration for humanity—namely, "the heavens are round and the earth is square" and "outer softness, inner strength".

Copper coins imbued with such meaning are endowed with spirituality. Passed through the fingertips of millions, they become the most yang-filled "common object".

Therefore, copper coins have the function of warding off evil spirits and protecting against bad luck.

And the Five Emperor Coins are divided into "small Five Emperor Coins" and "large Five Emperor Coins". The small Five Emperor Coins refer to ancient coins minted during the reigns of the five emperors of the last feudal dynasty: Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing.

This is the most common and easiest to find authentic Five Emperor Coins.

As for "Da Wu Di Qian", it's something you can only gather if you have the right fortune.

Five Emperor Coins refer to copper coins minted during the reigns of Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, and Ming Taizu.

These five emperors are figures who stood at the pinnacle of the world and the times over the past two thousand years. These coins are very difficult to collect. The coins of Emperor Qin, the oldest among the Five Emperors, date back over two thousand years, while even the Yongle Tongbao coin of Emperor Yongle, the youngest of the Five Emperors, is over six hundred years old.

These coins are heavily damaged and it's basically impossible to make a full set.

But this grandmaster's Qiankun sword, it was made entirely of the Five Emperors coins. If historians were to see this sword, they would definitely have it confiscated by the state.

The patina on these coins, after being carefully handled and polished by the grandfather (also known as "playing" or "turning"), is like a jade or walnut that has been rubbed. The surface of the coin has gradually worn away, naturally forming a protective layer, making it look shiny and lustrous.

This sword, a treasure my grandfather kept at the bottom of his coffin, was traded to me by my brother for a bunch of elderly love gifts. Ever since I held it in my hand, slaying demons and vanquishing evils has become child's play.

As expected, the sword sliced through the incoming dark energy. I hid behind my brother, and the two little ghosts took cover behind me.

I really want to kick these two out of the protected area!

"What a load of rubbish! Who'd be afraid of Yin energy" I stared at them both in disbelief.

The little ghost officer pouted his mouth in grievance: “This isn't ordinary Yin Qi... This place was once the boundary between the human world and the underworld. For four hundred years, the underworld couldn't collect souls here…”

My goodness, what kind of agreement is this Would Jiang Qiyun agree to such a bizarre condition

Four hundred years…

I looked at the strange old man, could he possibly have lived for four hundred years

I know that Fuk De Zheng Shen, also known as the Land God (Tu Di Gong), generally has a lifespan of three to five hundred years. Could he live for four hundred years Is he really a celestial being

The old man gave a strange smile, his Adam's apple bobbing like a ping pong ball under his skin. He spoke in a hoarse voice, “Of course I can't live that long... But not short either, a hundred years... I finally waited for the right people... You two are really perfect for each other…”

He fixed his gaze on me: "Your blood is pure yin, full of life and auspicious qi. It will surely satisfy the master..."

Then he turned to my brother and laughed, "You were also chosen by the master... you've touched the master's belongings... look, look... everything is under the master's control! Hahahahahaha!"

He let out a hoarse, maniacal laugh: "Master, you're truly divine! Four hundred years of an agreement, now there are only twenty more years left. We've waited for generations, and finally, we've met our destined person..."

"Those destined, this way please... Best not to resist, I don't want to hurt you... Your blood is precious... Should not be wasted..."

He mumbled to himself, turning and leading the way forward. Behind him, a surging wave of dark energy rose into the sky, blotting out the sun. Within this barrier, it resembled a gloomy night, with ghostly figures swirling within the darkness.

I frowned and said, “Let’s follow them and see. There must be a loophole or an eye in the barrier. We can take the opportunity to destroy it!”

My brother said with a touch of nervousness, "You're braver than me now, Xiao Qiao."

Is that so I've been to the Blood Pool Hell, what place could be darker than that

That place is the darkest and most heavily burdened with karma in all of hell.

Jiang Qiyun manifested countless great laws there, transforming the entire pool of blood into lotus flowers. In this way, the entire pool of blood was transformed, and it is said that only the Supreme God Taiyi could achieve this.

However, he did it.

He used lotus flowers to illuminate the black city, showing me a fireworks display that I will never forget.

With him around, I shouldn't be afraid.

My brother spoke up: "Hey, old man, I just saw you looking like a piece of bark. Now how come you're looking so young again"

The old man’s steps faltered, and he twisted his head around with a sinister look. “ … You guys, haven't you heard of…human metamorphosis”nodded — this was the T-shaped alley where Xi Linzhou lived.We could see Xi Lingzhou's house from the mouth of the alley, a place plagued by both firearm and arrow qi.The little girl lived at the end...
