Chapter 126 Slaying Emperors and Gods
In the courtyard of the Tang Family Manor, an altar has already been set up.
On the altar were offered three sacrificial animals: the heads of a pig, a cow, and a sheep.
Above their heads was a small bowl, containing soil from the graves of three generations of Tang Long's ancestors.
Ye Chen stood in front of the altar, drawing talismans with cinnabar, while the six members of the Tang family were also in front of the altar.
They stood in a circle according to the positions set by Ye Chen, and each person held a chicken in their hands.
Ye Chen had already fed their birth dates and times into the blood of these chickens beforehand, and put it into their mouths to be used as substitutes later.
Looking up at the sky, Ye Chen realized it was almost time and pasted the talisman he had drawn on the backs of the six members of the Tang family.
The adults were all fine, but Tang Qi, the little boy, was curiously looking around. If his father hadn't been there to restrain him, he probably would have run away long ago.
After everything was ready, Ye Chen said, "I need to draw out the cursed energy within you first, and then use this cursed energy as a guide."
"Find the source of the evil energy in your home, destroy it, and the curse on your home will be broken."
Although it sounds simple, it is quite troublesome to do and there are also risks involved.
However, Ye Chen was confident that the risk was negligible if he took action himself, especially since he had taken out insurance.
Upon hearing this, Tang Long nodded and said, "Dr. Ye, you don't need to explain to us. Just tell us how you need our cooperation."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "No matter what you see or hear, don't move. Just stay true to yourself."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Finally, Ye Chen's gaze fell on Tang Qi, whose big, dark eyes were still darting around, making him look exceptionally clever.
However, this was the time when he was most vulnerable to accidents. After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen drew another immobilization talisman and stuck it on Tang Qi's body just in case.
Having done all this, Ye Chen returned to the altar, flicked the yellow talisman paper, and it spontaneously combusted without fire.
Ye Chen took three incense sticks, lit them, and bowed respectfully three times. He then placed the three incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the sacrificial offerings.
"Open the altar!"
As Ye Chen gave a low shout, a golden light flashed on the altar. Ye Chen stepped into the Seven Star Step and formed a hand seal.
"The sky is clear and the earth is bright; I invoke the spirits with this talisman. Six Ding and Six Jia, quickly manifest your power!"
"By imperial decree, may the divine generals protect you!"
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, two golden figures appeared behind each member of the Tang family, though they were invisible to the average person.
Upon seeing the Six Ding and Six Jia divine soldiers in place, Ye Chen formed a hand seal and exclaimed, "Imperial decree, Demon-expelling seal!"
As Ye Chen made his hand seal, a sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling suddenly filled the air, making the Tang family members tremble in fear.
However, given Ye Chen's previous instructions, no one dared to move. Behind them, the talisman suddenly began to glow.
A golden light entered their bodies, and they immediately felt a warm current rush into their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, a throbbing pain shot through his head, and in Ye Chen's eyes, black curse energy surged from the eyes, ears, noses, and mouths of the Tang family members.
Ye Chen made a hand seal and commanded, "Divine General, heed my command! Slay the demon!"
With Ye Chen's command, the Six Ding Six Jia divine soldiers immediately attacked, their golden blades striking the Tang family members.
Suddenly, a large mass of black energy was expelled from their bodies. After three times, all the black energy in the Tang family members' bodies was expelled.
Seeing this, Ye Chen made a hand seal and instantly the black energy that had been released from the Tang family members was bound to the chicken in their hands.
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Alright, you can let go now."
The crowd released their grip, and the chickens fell to the ground, immediately rushing towards the Tang family's house.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen immediately led the Tang family members into the house and soon arrived at Tang Tianhao's study.
The chickens were all circling on the left wall of the study, in front of a traditional Chinese ink painting.
The painting depicts Zhong Kui fighting ghosts, and the signature is Wu Daozi, the "Sage of Painting".
However, in Ye Chen's eyes, that was not Zhong Kui at all, but Susanoo, one of the evil gods of Japan.
"We've found the source of the evil energy in your house." Ye Chen pointed to the painting on the wall.
Tang Long looked at the Zhong Kui portrait and said, "This is Zhong Kui, who is used to ward off evil spirits. Moreover, this painting has been passed down from our ancestors. How could it be the source of evil?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen did not explain, but instead formed a hand seal and touched Tang Long's brow, saying, "Take another look, is this Zhong Kui who wards off evil, or a wicked god?"
At this moment, Tang Long looked up and saw that the painting no longer depicted Zhong Kui, the demon-slaying hero; instead, it showed a malevolent and awe-inspiring evil god.
"Ah!" Tang Long was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back and exclaimed in horror, "How could this be?"
Ye Chen said, "This is called a Yin-Yang painting. Ordinary people would only think it's a Zhong Kui exorcising ghost picture, but it actually contains the evil god of Japan, Susanoo."
Upon hearing that this was a Japanese evil god, Tang Long was furious and exclaimed, "Damn it, so it's a Japanese thing! I'll burn it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised his hand to stop him, saying, "This thing is not simple, let me handle it."
As he spoke, Ye Chen stepped forward and drew a talisman in the air with his finger, causing the chickens that had been gathered around the scroll to crow.
Then, the evil curse energy within them surged out and flowed into the painting.
The evil god in the painting, Susanoo, suddenly opened his eyes and came to life.
He jumped straight out of the painting, looked at Ye Chen angrily, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you ruin the affairs of my Mikami family!"
Seeing this, Ye Chen coldly said, "I am your grandfather!"
"Baka!" Susanoo shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he actually drew a long sword from the painting and slashed fiercely at Ye Chen.
"You have a small skill, but you still dare to do the same thing!"
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon! Oh, I was wrong."
"Thunder in the Palm!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.
"Ah!" Susanoo screamed as he exploded into pieces, but quickly reformed.
Looking at Ye Chen with a hint of fear in his eyes, he said, "You are the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain."
Ye Chen sneered, "I told you, I'm your grandfather!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen unleashed another palm strike, and Susanoo, seeing this, turned and ran into the painting.
Seeing this, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't let him succeed. With a flick of his hand, a golden light blocked Susanoo's path.
The palm lightning struck Susanoo solidly; this was a righteous lightning that was specifically designed to counter evil.
Susanoo was scattered again, and it took a while for him to regroup this time.
After gathering their strength, they looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of anger and said, "I'll fight you to the death! Kusanagi Sword!"
With a roar, Susanoo shuddered violently, and the scroll on the wall burst into flames.
A cold light shot out from the scroll, heading straight for Ye Chen's brow.
Ye Chen subconsciously raised his hand to block, and with a sword's cry, the cold light struck Ye Chen's wrist and was blocked.
The sleeve of his left hand was blown open, revealing the Fish Intestine Sword. Ye Chen swung his sword backhand and unleashed the Fish Intestine Sword.
Susanoo was instantly annihilated by the killing intent emanating from the Fish Intestine Sword, and a wisp of blood was swallowed up by the sword.
The killing intent on the Fish Intestine Sword surged instantly, and Ye Chen looked at the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand with some surprise in his eyes.
However, he immediately thought of something: Susanoo is one of the three great evil gods in Japan, although here he only possesses a trace of divinity.
However, after being slain by the Fish Intestine Sword, the Fish Intestine Sword could be considered to have accomplished the feat of slaying a god.
When the emperor and gods are killed, the killing intent of the Fish Intestine Sword will naturally surge, which can be considered a lucky accident.
After the evil god was slain, there was a small katana on the ground, and the scroll on the wall was cracked.
Clearly, the small katana was hidden inside the scroll, but the evil spirit has been removed, so it's just an ordinary antique now.
However, this painting reminded Ye Chen of the white-robed Guanyin painting that the eldest son's wife had given him before, which also seemed to be a fake of Wu Daozi's authentic work.
There might be some connection between them, but now is not the time to think about that. Ye Chen picked up the small katana and said, "Alright, it's all taken care of."
"Afterwards, bury the soil from your ancestors' graves at the doorway, then burn all these chickens, and everything will be fine."
"As for this small katana, you can keep it as an antique or throw it away."
Upon hearing this, Tang Long said, "You should handle this."
Although Ye Chen said it was no problem, Tang Long still felt uneasy, and Ye Chen did not refuse.
Strangely enough, after Ye Chen defeated Susanoo, the whole room became warm and cozy.
"Mr. Ye, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
Tang Long respectfully handed a check to Ye Chen, who glanced at it.
"Six hundred million." It has to be said, the Tang family is really generous, one hundred million per person, which is quite substantial.
Ye Chen didn't refuse and accepted it directly: "I'll accept the gift. I hope you will do more good deeds in the future."
Tang Long said respectfully, "Don't worry, Doctor Ye, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Alright, that's settled. I should be going now."
Tang Long quickly said, "Dr. Ye, wherever you are going, I'll arrange a car to take you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen readily agreed, saying, "Alright, take me to the clinic. Do you know where it is?"
Tang Long quickly replied, "I know, I know."
Surrounded by his family, Ye Chen arrived at the door. Tang Long originally wanted to see him off personally, but Ye Chen declined.
The family watched Ye Chen leave, and Tang Hai looked at his father, Tang Long, and asked, "Dad, where did you find this expert?"
Tang Long smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just be more respectful to Doctor Ye from now on, okay?"
Tang Hai nodded repeatedly, and the family began to handle the matter according to Ye Chen's instructions.
