Chapter Fifty-Three: Knowledge Changes Fate

  Yu Shu was overjoyed and said: "Yes!"

  Liu Yi was shocked to discover that in just a short while, Yu Shu's body light had changed again.

  Originally, this person's fate was ordinary, and his lifespan was not better than that of ordinary people. He was afraid that he would not be able to live beyond the age of thirty. His luck was also weak, and it was impossible for him to pass the imperial examination.

  But in just a short while, Yu Shu's luck fire rose sharply, and his longevity fire also increased slightly.

  Liu Yi saw it, and pondered in his heart. The ancients said: one fortune, two fortunes, three Feng Shui, four accumulation of yin virtue, five reading books. Other Ben Shen Jun had not seen yet, but the effect of reading books was indeed seen!

  It's no longer just knowledge changing fate! Thinking about it, these are really shocking and awe-inspiring!

  The weather is getting colder, and another hunter in front of the mountain was injured to death. His soul was again taken into the spiritual realm by Liu Yi, who entrusted him with a dream to return home, where his family members were all extremely grateful. No one had ever heard of such a benevolent ghost god!

  But it was at this time that Shentu's words began to come true. More and more ghosts and monsters started to appear.

  Originally alone, later became three or five in a group, and then more and more appeared.

  Liu Yi initially dared to send out ghost soldiers to surround and kill them all. However, later on, as one by one evil spirits occupied Fenglai Mountain with dozens of fierce ghosts, Liu Yi could only withdraw his troops.

  The demons and monsters hidden in the deep mountains and swamps are endless. Even if this group of demons is killed, there will be others coming. It's better to save some energy and defend within the village instead.

  I don't know if it's because of the city wall or something else, but anyway, this year the wind came to the mountain and more and more ghosts gathered around here.

  The pressure on Feng Lai Mountain has increased greatly. Fortunately, Liu Yi condensed the mountain god's position of Feng Lai Mountain. Merging this divine position with the village god's position, the entire Feng Lai Mountain is under Liu Yi's control.

  This gradually supported the situation and protected all three villages.

  On this day, Liu Yi was in the midst of meditation when he suddenly felt a shock. In the depths of his mind, an incredibly powerful and unspeakable force that made one tremble with fear instantly brought Liu Yi back to full awareness.

  At this time, Liu Yi only noticed that the three villages were crowded with people. Liu Yi originally thought something big had happened and was startled.

  Upon closer inspection, I realized that the weather has gradually turned cold, snow is falling, and it's actually already the end of another year, with Chinese New Year approaching soon.

  It is now time to offer sacrifices to all the gods and pray for a good harvest in the coming year, peace and prosperity for the family, known as "La Festival".

  Recently, all kinds of monsters and ghosts have been appearing more and more. Liu Yi sends out ghost soldiers every night to strictly guard each place, making great contributions. Protecting one side in peace.

  Originally, in the past during this Bon Festival, the village deity was not an important object of worship. However, due to his actions, he was respected by the villagers.

  Therefore, today when worshiping the hundred gods, it also covered Liu Yi's land.

  A cow, a sheep and a pig were slaughtered separately in the midst of the high flames. The fresh blood was drained clean and poured into the fire.

  The originally ordinary burning fire suddenly seemed like gasoline was poured on it and violently surged up three zhang.

  In the midst of obscurity, a power that was difficult to express and impossible to comprehend had been stirred up. It landed on Liu Yi's body.

  This power is unspeakable, the vast shock of the heart, even Liu Yi had a slight feeling, there was a sense of self-destruction.

  But at this moment, this power suddenly split a thread and fell down, falling into Liu Yi's spiritual pool.

  This power is so pure and vast. The Tai Xiao Yang Tian Fu summoned almost without any transformation, turning this kind of power into endless divine power, falling down like a waterfall.

  Suddenly, a shock came from the depths of the spiritual pool. The entire spiritual pool seemed to be boiling over. At this moment, the spiritual pool was finally full.

  Liu Yi's spiritual pool was still one-fifth short of being full. He had thought that it would take at least two to three months, or even half a year.

  But unexpectedly, this surge of energy poured down and filled the spiritual pool to the brim.

  The spiritual pool surged and contracted, a loud rumble sounded, and the thunder shook violently. Everything before my eyes was white light. Amidst the white light, I saw a red glow emerge.

  The entire spiritual pool expanded to a range of three feet, and the divine power that was already full disappeared in an instant. Only a thin layer remained, covering the bottom of the pool, but it had all transformed into red.

  The originally white light-emitting Tai Xiang Yang Tian Fu Zhao transformed into a crimson light-emitting Chi Xiang Zhu Tian Fu Zhao at this moment.

  Liu Yi was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but want to stand up and let out a long whistle to express his delight.

  It was those villagers who made a high-sacrifice move, stirring up some kind of mysterious and unpredictable rule in the underworld. That's why such a large force surged towards Liu Yi.

  He sighed, clearly knowing where this power came from. It was from the sky, the vast expanse of the heavens, the endless sea of primordial energy.

  Such power is so great, it has been everywhere, spanning all directions and traversing ancient and modern times.

  At the time of the winter solstice, sacrifices were made to heaven and earth and the hundred spirits. No wonder it could stir up the power of the vast heavens! In comparison, having achieved the Crimson Sky Jade Heaven Symbol was nothing, what did it amount to in the face of such great power?

  The originally excited and restless heart was slowly calmed down like this.

  Also seen in three villages, young men wearing big red turbans on their heads, wearing dark green clothes, holding big drums, beating gongs and drums, extremely lively.

  At their head was a man wearing bear skin, with a mask on his head, and four golden eyes on top of it. His upper garment was black, and his lower garment was red. He held a spear and raised a shield, looking extremely fierce.

  This is Fang Sheng, who has been passed down since ancient times, leading the vassals and driving out the epidemic ghosts.

  Just as Shentuqi said, since ancient times, there have been countless kinds of evil spirits, ghosts and plague gods. They usually hide in the deep mountains on ordinary days.

  When winter arrives and yin energy is at its peak, they descend the mountain to cause trouble. It's also the most dangerous moment of the year.

  Since ancient times, Fangxiangshi has been driving out the evil spirits. Now during the La Festival, it is to play the role of Fangxiangshi and drive away the ghosts.

  This was not just a simple act of worship. Liu Yi could clearly feel that after the sacrifice, there was an inexplicable power that had descended upon him.

  A figure similarly dressed and wearing a four-eyed mask cast in gold, holding a knife and shield, was projected into the air.

  It seemed that Fang Xiang felt Liu Yi's gaze, and she gave him a faint glance. Her eyes pierced through the spiritual realm, presenting a light golden color, pressing on Liu Yi's chest, making him almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

  Fortunately, Fang Xiang only glanced at him lightly and then withdrew his gaze. Liu Yi only then discovered that in his spiritual realm, all the ghost soldiers had gone limp and collapsed into a heap.
