Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 63

Looking at the black fish demon that disturbed the lake water and fled away, Li Xiuyuan's face was calm, but a bit helpless.

Tieshan next to him opened his eyes wide, showing surprise.

"Young master, what a big black fish"

Li Xiuyuan said: "What kind of black fish, that is black fish demon, it is the thing making trouble in this big lake, just now this beast saw me standing by the lake, and wanted to rush over to kill me, this monster is very courageous, in broad daylight Now, as a water demon, I want to go ashore and kill people, it seems that it is living in this big lake without any scruples."

"Unfortunately, this lake is too big. I shot this black fish demon blind in one eye again today. I'm afraid he won't dare to show his face in the next few days."

With such a big lake as a shelter, it is no wonder that the old Taoist who gave the small pole a bronze mirror is helpless.

Why not myself.

The black fish demon will not go ashore, and it is impossible for him to go to the lake to fight the black fish demon.

This black fish demon hurt him very little, once he ate his own flesh and blood, his power would increase immediately, and it would be even more difficult to deal with it.

"Master, such a black fish demon hides in such a big lake, how can we get rid of it."

Tieshan thought about it and couldn't figure it out: "Even if it is salvaged with a net, it is impossible to catch that black fish in such a big lake. Even if it is caught, it is estimated that the black fish can break free with its strength. Fishing nets, overturning fishing boats, and it is estimated that people will die again."

"You're right. We can't be the opponent of the black fish demon in the lake, so we have to find someone to help." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Looking for someone? Young Master, we are the only people here, and even the villagers here are probably no match for this water monster." Tieshan said worriedly.

"I didn't say I was looking for the villagers of Dahu Village," Li Xiuyuan said.

Tieshan looked puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the two left the lake and returned to Taihu Village.

"Old village chief, may I ask if you have pens, ink, paper and inkstones in this village, can you lend me some?" Li Xiuyuan came to the house of old man Luo, the village chief, gave a salute, and said straight to the point.

Old man Luo froze for a moment, then thought about it and said: "Yes, yes, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones, which are placed in the ancestral hall in the village. If Mr. Li wants to use them, I will ask someone to fetch them for you."

Li Xiuyuan wanted to get rid of demons in Dahu Village, so the old village chief naturally responded to his request.

Immediately, he sent a villager to fetch the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the ancestral hall.

The pen and inkstone are quite old, and the barrel of the pen has been worn down with oil for many years. The paper is also rough and yellowed, and it is still a little tattered.

Obviously, the living conditions of the villagers in Dahu Village are very difficult, and the whole village cannot get together a decent set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"I made Mr. Li laugh, there is only such a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the village." Old man Luo blushed, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, as long as you can write." Li Xiuyuan smiled and didn't care.

"By the way, can the old village chief help you with the next favor?"

Old man Luo said; "Mr. Li, please tell me, I will definitely help if I can help."

"Then ask the old village chief to mobilize a few villagers to set up a table, an incense burner, and get some tributes in front of the lake." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Mr. Li, is this a sacrifice?" Old man Luo asked in question, and then said again: "This method has been tried before, but it didn't work. The people in our village have sacrificed no less than five times. Both the cattle and sheep have gone. But the water demon still made trouble after eating the sacrifice."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm not offering sacrifices, but asking gods to kill demons."

He wants to get rid of the demons in this great lake with his own strength, but it is impossible. Although he is already practicing Taoism, he can't even get out of his body. The last time he got out of his body was with the help of his master. , and right now I don't have any mana, Taoism, and I am not proficient in Taoism or Taoism.

Now I can only invite the gods from the sky to kill the demons.

Hope everything goes well.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, wait a moment, this old man will do it now." Old man Luo immediately regained his energy when he heard that he was going to invite the gods to kill demons. Sacrifice, please God.

"Young master, the invitation to the gods and demons is all done by those liars who dance to the gods. How can we invite the real god." After the old village chief left, Tieshan said with some embarrassment: "If the time comes, the real god can't be invited, then What can I do?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "I have to try everything, if I can't invite the true god, I can only try other methods."

"Okay, you all go to prepare, I'm going to write a sacrificial text."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, signaling Tieshan and others to leave, while he spread out the paper, rubbed the ink, and twisted the pen, preparing to write the prayer to the gods.

Inviting gods to offer sacrifices is very particular, you can’t write indiscriminately, you need to write which true god you want to invite, what reason, what reason, etc.

I have learned it before.

"When the day is auspicious and the time is good, the heaven and the earth will open. I intend to burn incense, and the smoke will be heavy. God will come to Li Xiuyuan in Guobei County. I invite you today." After thinking for a while, Li Xiuyuan wrote again: "I invite General Lei Gong of Nine Heavens to subdue the demons in the lower realm."

He didn't choose to invite a more noble god, but a middle-level thunder god.

There are two reasons for this. One is that it is difficult to invite a great god, and it is expensive. Isn’t there a saying that it is easier to invite a god than to give it up.

Second, you may not be able to invite them.

There are shadows of Lei Gong everywhere in this world of Liaozhai, but there are no traces of those great gods. If you don't come after writing a sacrificial oration, wouldn't it be a waste of effort.

The pen walked around the dragon, and soon a sacrificial oration was written.

Li Xiuyuan looked at it, and felt that something was missing. He shook his head immediately, put the written sacrificial oration aside, bit his finger, blood dripped into the thick ink, and wrote another side.

"I hope it works." He thought to himself.

Two sacrificial tablets, one stained with his blood, one not.

After he finished writing, a guard ran over again and said, "Young Master, everything for the sacrifice has been prepared, and we will wait for you, Young Master."

"Okay, I see, I'll come."

Li Xiuyuan put away the two sacrificial rites and walked towards the lake.

At this time, the villagers of Dahu Village were already waiting by the lake. Men, women, old and young, big and small, all gathered.

When the old village head Luo Laotou saw Li Xiuyuan striding forward, he immediately became excited and looked forward to it.

"Mr. Li, do you think these arrangements are okay?" The old village chief looked at the somewhat crude altar and said a little embarrassedly.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, and it was indeed a bit crude, and there were not many sacrifices, only some dried fish, rice, bacon, etc., and there was not a single piece of melon or fruit.

"It's okay, that's enough," he said.

However, according to his master, the offerings to invite the gods must be rich, so that the gods will not be slowed down when they come. If the sacrifices are simple, they may anger the gods and cause disasters.

But the villagers of Dahu Village only had such conditions right now, and he figured out the rest by himself.

The most important thing right now is to invite God first.

If you can't even invite God, then you can say too much now.

Sprinkle water to cover the dust, burn incense and sacrifice.

Everything is going on as planned.

Some villagers are already praying with their palms together, hoping to invite the gods from the sky to kill the water demon in the lake this time.

And Tieshan and other guards also held their waists and knives, standing on the left and right, with serious expressions and no smiles, so as not to spoil this sacrifice.
